| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Compiling powerpc64 results in: include/trace/events/timer.h:279: warning: format '%lu' expects type 'long unsigned int', but argument 4 has type 'cputime_t' .... cputime_t on power is u64, which triggers the above warning. Cast the cputime_t to unsigned long long and fix the print format string. That works on both 32 and 64 bit architectures. While at it change the print format for long variables from %lu to %ld.

| * ext4: call ext4_forget() from ext4_free_blocks()Theodore Ts'o2009-11-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add the facility for ext4_forget() to be called from ext4_free_blocks(). This simplifies the code in a large number of places, and centralizes most of the work of calling ext4_forget() into a single place. Also fix a bug in the extents migration code; it wasn't calling ext4_forget() when releasing the indirect blocks during the conversion. As a result, if the system cashed during or shortly after the extents migration, and the released indirect blocks get reused as data blocks, the journal replay would corrupt the data blocks. With this new patch, fixing this bug was as simple as adding the EXT4_FREE_BLOCKS_FORGET flags to the call to ext4_free_blocks().

| | * | perf_event, x86, mce: Use TRACE_EVENT() for MCE loggingHidetoshi Seto2009-10-13

Fields are being reused for multiple purposes, and the whole message structure is limited and x86 specific to begin with. All in one, the x86 tree would like to move away from this private implementation of an event logging facility to a broader framework. By using perf events we gain the following advantages: - Multiple user-space agents can access MCE events. We can have an mcelog daemon running but also a system-wide tracer capturing important events in flight-recorder mode. - Sampling support: the kernel and the user-space call-chain of MCE events can be stored and analyzed as well. This way actual patterns of bad behavior can be matched to precisely what kind of activity happened in the kernel (and/or in the app) around that moment in time. - Coupling with other hardware and software events: the PMU can track a number of other anomalies - monitoring software might chose to monitor those plus the MCE events as well - in one coherent stream of events. - Discovery of MCE sources - tracepoints are enumerated and tools can act upon the existence (or non-existence) of various channels of MCE information. - Filtering support: we just subscribe to and act upon the events we are interested in. Then even on a per event source basis there's in-kernel filter expressions available that can restrict the amount of data that hits the event channel. - Arbitrary deep per cpu buffering of events - we can buffer 32 entries or we can buffer as much as we want, as long as we have the RAM. - An NMI-safe ring-buffer implementation - mappable to user-space. - Built-in support for timestamping of events, PID markers, CPU markers, etc. - A rich ABI accessible over system call interface. Per cpu, per task and per workload monitoring of MCE events can be done this way. The ABI itself has a nice, meaningful structure. - Extensible ABI: new fields can be added without breaking tooling. New tracepoints can be added as the hardware side evolves. There's various parsers that can be used. - Lots of scheduling/buffering/batching modes of operandi for MCE events. poll() support. mmap() support. read() support. You name it. - Rich tooling support: even without any MCE specific extensions added the 'perf' tool today offers various views of MCE data: perf report, perf stat, perf trace can all be used to view logged MCE events and perhaps correlate them to certain user-space usage patterns. But it can be used directly as well, for user-space agents and policy action in mcelog, etc. With this we hope to achieve significant code cleanup and feature improvements in the MCE code, and we hope to be able to drop the /dev/mcelog facility in the end. This patch is just a plain dumb dump of mce_log() records to the tracepoints / perf events framework - a first proof of concept step.

To clarify this, rename it to DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS, which follows the various 'DECLARE_*()' idioms we already have in the kernel: DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS(class) DEFINE_EVENT(class, event1) DEFINE_EVENT(class, event2) DEFINE_EVENT(class, event3) To complete this logic we should also rename TRACE_EVENT() to: DEFINE_SINGLE_EVENT(single_event) ... but in a more quiet moment of the kernel cycle.

But the later two override the print format. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
| * | tracing: Rename 'lockdep' event subsystem into 'lock'Frederic Weisbecker2009-11-13

The name of this event subsystem is a bit of a misnomer since these events are not quite related to lockdep but more generally to locking, ie: these events are not reporting lock dependencies or possible deadlock scenario but pure locking events. Hence this rename.

The primary way to see which fields are available is by looking at the trace output, such as: gcc-18676 [000] 343.011728: irq_handler_entry: irq=0 handler=timer cc1-18677 [000] 343.012727: irq_handler_entry: irq=0 handler=timer cc1-18677 [000] 343.032692: irq_handler_entry: irq=0 handler=timer cc1-18677 [000] 343.033690: irq_handler_entry: irq=0 handler=timer cc1-18677 [000] 343.034687: irq_handler_entry: irq=0 handler=timer cc1-18677 [000] 343.035686: irq_handler_entry: irq=0 handler=timer cc1-18677 [000] 343.036684: irq_handler_entry: irq=0 handler=timer While 'irq==0' filters work, the 'handler==<x>' filter expression does not work: $ perf record -R -f -a -e irq:irq_handler_entry --filter handler=timer sleep 1 Error: failed to set filter with 22 (Invalid argument) The problem is that while an 'irq' field exists and is recognized as a filter field - 'handler' does not exist - its name is 'name' in the output. To solve this, we need to synchronize the printout and the field names, wherever possible. In cases where the printout prints a non-field, we enclose that information in square brackets, such as: perf-1380 [013] 724.903505: softirq_exit: vec=9 [action=RCU] perf-1380 [013] 724.904482: softirq_exit: vec=1 [action=TIMER] This way users can use filter expressions more intuitively: all fields that show up as 'primary' (non-bracketed) information is filterable. This patch harmonizes the field names for all irq, bkl, power, sched and timer events. We might in fact think about dropping the print format bit of generic tracepoints altogether, and just print the fields that are being recorded.

A) two almost identical records are saved in ringbuffer when a syscall enters or exits. (4 records for every syscall) This wastes precious space in the ring buffer. B) the lines including "sys_enter/sys_exit" produces hardly any useful information for the output (no labels). The user can use this method to prevent these drawbacks: echo 1 > events/syscalls/enable echo 0 > events/syscalls/sys_enter/enable echo 0 > events/syscalls/sys_exit/enable But this is not user friendly. So we separate raw syscall from syscall tracer. After this fix applied: syscall tracer's output (echo 1 > events/syscalls/enable): XXXX: sys_read(fd: 3, buf: bfe87d88, count: 200) XXXX: sys_read -> 0x200 XXXX: sys_fstat64(fd: 3, statbuf: bfe87c98) XXXX: sys_fstat64 -> 0x0 XXXX: sys_close(fd: 3) raw syscall tracer's output (echo 1 > events/raw_syscalls/enable): XXXX: sys_enter: NR 175 (0, bf92bf18, bf92bf98, 8, b748cff4, bf92bef8) XXXX: sys_exit: NR 175 = 0 XXXX: sys_enter: NR 175 (2, bf92bf98, 0, 8, b748cff4, bf92bef8) XXXX: sys_exit: NR 175 = 0 XXXX: sys_enter: NR 3 (9, bf927f9c, 4000, b77e2518, b77dce60, bf92bff8) Signed-off-by: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@cn.fujitsu.com> LKML-Reference: <4AEFC37C.5080609@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

This also works around limitations in the ext4 block allocator, which can't allocate more than 2048 blocks at a time. So we need to defeat the round-robin characteristics of the writeback code and try to write out as many blocks in one inode before allowing the writeback code to move on to another inode. We add a a new per-filesystem tunable, max_writeback_mb_bump, which caps this to a default of 128mb per inode. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

When analysing performance, it can be important to distinguish between pages coming from the per-cpu allocator and pages coming from the buddy lists as the latter requires the zone lock to the taken and more data structures to be examined. This patch adds a trace event for __rmqueue reporting when a page is being allocated from the buddy lists. It distinguishes between being called to refill the per-cpu lists or whether it is a high-order allocation. Similarly, this patch adds an event to catch when the PCP lists are being drained a little and pages are going back to the buddy lists. This is trickier to draw conclusions from but high activity on those events could explain why there were a large number of cache misses on a page-allocator-intensive workload. The coalescing and splitting of buddies involves a lot of writing of page metadata and cache line bounces not to mention the acquisition of an interrupt-safe lock necessary to enter this path.

In the event this is not possible, __rmqueue_fallback() selects a different list and in some circumstances change the migratetype of the pageblock. Simplistically, the more times this event occurs, the more likely that fragmentation will be a problem later for hugepage allocation at least but there are other considerations such as the order of page being split to satisfy the allocation. This patch adds a trace event for __rmqueue_fallback() that reports what page is being used for the fallback, the orders of relevant pages, the desired migratetype and the migratetype of the lists being used, whether the pageblock changed type and whether this event is important with respect to fragmentation avoidance or not. This information can be used to help analyse fragmentation avoidance and help decide whether min_free_kbytes should be increased or not.

Using the events, it will be known what struct page and pfns are being allocated and freed and what the call site was in many cases. The page alloc tracepoints be used as an indicator as to whether the workload was heavily dependant on the page allocator or not. You can make a guess based on vmstat but you can't get a per-process breakdown. Depending on the call path, the call_site for page allocation may be __get_free_pages() instead of a useful callsite. Instead of passing down a return address similar to slab debugging, the user should enable the stacktrace and seg-addr options to get a proper stack trace. The pagevec free tracepoint has a different usecase. It can be used to get a idea of how many pages are being dumped off the LRU and whether it is kswapd doing the work or a process doing direct reclaim.

| | * | tracing, perf: Convert the power tracer into an event tracerArjan van de Ven2009-09-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch converts the existing power tracer into an event tracer, so that power events (C states and frequency changes) can be tracked via "perf". This also removes the perl script that was used to demo the tracer; its functionality is being replaced entirely with timechart.
