This release cycle is rather small. Just a few fixes to tracing.
The big change is the addition of the hwlat tracer. It not only detects SMIs, but also other latency that's caused by the hardware. I have detected some latency from large boxes having bus contention. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQEcBAABAgAGBQJX9a77AAoJEKKk/i67LK/8UPEH/jcqMmOMhQYVQsNaJViA5uJM SV96gaLCc9cxXY04Hf7vx8RkVIyIqTCCQZ+RVZt4RSeqpsB2IzZ1u0CNKs2Z0MTv MdvQJoazRoDgVuPzKAsdAlDd0ykqHEFA5ayF3XDK4P2J97La+B4rQIqEiJX/aDrz i0NQQFg2ZF46mXJXn4oXe6nmr6WnbiEduawVjd7JvgILJO2hojDicOTQlNG41Nys 68fOV8mLk0OL7sFRjySLGcbdbKhP2YbNhxILXl8geLgS9+CFZXkE8oTRjjy9IMNA XrqbFLMWaRVv+Nig7bHIWKE8ZErC5WCYUw4LD2GTLMDx5AkAVLGFFp6TOiO4SG8= =ke23 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'trace-v4.9' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: "This release cycle is rather small.

Introduction:
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
|
||||
The tracer hwlat_detector is a special purpose tracer that is used to
|
||||
detect large system latencies induced by the behavior of certain underlying
|
||||
hardware or firmware, independent of Linux itself. The code was developed
|
||||
originally to detect SMIs (System Management Interrupts) on x86 systems,
|
||||
however there is nothing x86 specific about this patchset. It was
|
||||
originally written for use by the "RT" patch since the Real Time
|
||||
kernel is highly latency sensitive.
|
||||
|
||||
SMIs are not serviced by the Linux kernel, which means that it does not
|
||||
even know that they are occuring. SMIs are instead set up by BIOS code
|
||||
and are serviced by BIOS code, usually for "critical" events such as
|
||||
management of thermal sensors and fans. Sometimes though, SMIs are used for
|
||||
other tasks and those tasks can spend an inordinate amount of time in the
|
||||
handler (sometimes measured in milliseconds). Obviously this is a problem if
|
||||
you are trying to keep event service latencies down in the microsecond range.
|
||||
|
||||
The hardware latency detector works by hogging one of the cpus for configurable
|
||||
amounts of time (with interrupts disabled), polling the CPU Time Stamp Counter
|
||||
for some period, then looking for gaps in the TSC data. Any gap indicates a
|
||||
time when the polling was interrupted and since the interrupts are disabled,
|
||||
the only thing that could do that would be an SMI or other hardware hiccup
|
||||
(or an NMI, but those can be tracked).
|
||||
|
||||
Note that the hwlat detector should *NEVER* be used in a production environment.
|
||||
It is intended to be run manually to determine if the hardware platform has a
|
||||
problem with long system firmware service routines.
|
||||
|
||||
Usage:
|
||||
------
|
||||
|
||||
Write the ASCII text "hwlat" into the current_tracer file of the tracing system
|
||||
(mounted at /sys/kernel/tracing or /sys/kernel/tracing). It is possible to
|
||||
redefine the threshold in microseconds (us) above which latency spikes will
|
||||
be taken into account.
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
|
||||
# echo hwlat > /sys/kernel/tracing/current_tracer
|
||||
# echo 100 > /sys/kernel/tracing/tracing_thresh
|
||||
|
||||
The /sys/kernel/tracing/hwlat_detector interface contains the following files:
|
||||
|
||||
width - time period to sample with CPUs held (usecs)
|
||||
must be less than the total window size (enforced)
|
||||
window - total period of sampling, width being inside (usecs)
|
||||
|
||||
By default the width is set to 500,000 and window to 1,000,000, meaning that
|
||||
for every 1,000,000 usecs (1s) the hwlat detector will spin for 500,000 usecs
|
||||
(0.5s). If tracing_thresh contains zero when hwlat tracer is enabled, it will
|
||||
change to a default of 10 usecs. If any latencies that exceed the threshold is
|
||||
observed then the data will be written to the tracing ring buffer.
|
||||
|
||||
The minimum sleep time between periods is 1 millisecond. Even if width
|
||||
is less than 1 millisecond apart from window, to allow the system to not
|
||||
be totally starved.
|
||||
|
||||
If tracing_thresh was zero when hwlat detector was started, it will be set
|
||||
back to zero if another tracer is loaded. Note, the last value in
|
||||
tracing_thresh that hwlat detector had will be saved and this value will
|
||||
be restored in tracing_thresh if it is still zero when hwlat detector is
|
||||
started again.
|
||||
|
||||
The following tracing directory files are used by the hwlat_detector:
|
||||
|
||||
in /sys/kernel/tracing:
|
||||
|
||||
tracing_threshold - minimum latency value to be considered (usecs)
|
||||
tracing_max_latency - maximum hardware latency actually observed (usecs)
|
||||
tracing_cpumask - the CPUs to move the hwlat thread across
|
||||
hwlat_detector/width - specified amount of time to spin within window (usecs)
|
||||
hwlat_detector/window - amount of time between (width) runs (usecs)
|
||||
|
||||
The hwlat detector's kernel thread will migrate across each CPU specified in
|
||||
tracing_cpumask between each window. To limit the migration, either modify
|
||||
tracing_cpumask, or modify the hwlat kernel thread (named [hwlatd]) CPU
|
||||
affinity directly, and the migration will stop.

spinning in a loop looking for interruptions caused by

* SMIs or System Management Interrupts on Intel and AMD systems. An SMI is a
|
||||
* somewhat special form of hardware interrupt spawned from earlier CPU debug
|

* modes in which the (BIOS/EFI/etc.) firmware arranges for the South Bridge
|
||||
* LPC (or other device) to generate a special interrupt under certain
|
||||
* circumstances, for example, upon expiration of a special SMI timer device,
|
||||
* due to certain external thermal readings, on certain I/O address accesses,
|
||||
* and other situations. An SMI hits a special CPU pin, triggers a special
|
||||
* SMI mode (complete with special memory map), and the OS is unaware.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* Although certain hardware-inducing latencies are necessary (for example,
|

* a modern system often requires an SMI handler for correct thermal control
|
||||
* and remote management) they can wreak havoc upon any OS-level performance
|
||||
* guarantees toward low-latency, especially when the OS is not even made
|
||||
* aware of the presence of these interrupts. For this reason, we need a
|
||||
* somewhat brute force mechanism to detect these interrupts. In this case,
|
||||
* we do it by hogging all of the CPU(s) for configurable timer intervals,
|
||||
* sampling the built-in CPU timer, looking for discontiguous readings.

# Here's how to use this:
|
||||
#
|
||||
# This script is used to help find functions that are being traced by function
|
||||
# tracer or function graph tracing that causes the machine to reboot, hang, or
|
||||
# crash. Here's the steps to take.
|
||||
#
|
||||
# First, determine if function tracing is working with a single function:
|
||||
#
|
||||
# (note, if this is a problem with function_graph tracing, then simply
|
||||
# replace "function" with "function_graph" in the following steps).
|
||||
#
|
||||
# # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
|
||||
# # echo schedule > set_ftrace_filter
|
||||
# # echo function > current_tracer
|
||||
#
|
||||
# If this works, then we know that something is being traced that shouldn't be.
|
||||
#
|
||||
# # echo nop > current_tracer
|
||||
#
|
||||
# # cat available_filter_functions > ~/full-file
|
||||
# # ftrace-bisect ~/full-file ~/test-file ~/non-test-file
|
||||
# # cat ~/test-file > set_ftrace_filter
|
||||
#
|
||||
# *** Note *** this will take several minutes. Setting multiple functions is
|
||||
# an O(n^2) operation, and we are dealing with thousands of functions. So go
|
||||
# have coffee, talk with your coworkers, read facebook. And eventually, this
|
||||
# operation will end.
|
||||
#
|
||||
# # echo function > current_tracer
|
||||
#
|
||||
# If it crashes, we know that ~/test-file has a bad function.
|
||||
#
|
||||
# Reboot back to test kernel.
|
||||
#
|
||||
# # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
|
||||
# # mv ~/test-file ~/full-file
|
||||
#
|
||||
# If it didn't crash.
|
||||
#
|
||||
# # echo nop > current_tracer
|
||||
# # mv ~/non-test-file ~/full-file
|
||||
#
|
||||
# Get rid of the other test file from previous run (or save them off somewhere).
|
||||
# # rm -f ~/test-file ~/non-test-file
|
||||
#
|
||||
# And start again:
|
||||
#
|
||||
# # ftrace-bisect ~/full-file ~/test-file ~/non-test-file
|
||||
#
|
||||
# The good thing is, because this cuts the number of functions in ~/test-file
|
||||
# by half, the cat of it into set_ftrace_filter takes half as long each
|
||||
# iteration, so don't talk so much at the water cooler the second time.
|
||||
#
|
||||
# Eventually, if you did this correctly, you will get down to the problem
|
||||
# function, and all we need to do is to notrace it.
|
||||
#
|
||||
# The way to figure out if the problem function is bad, just do:
|
||||
#
|
||||
# # echo <problem-function> > set_ftrace_notrace
|
||||
# # echo > set_ftrace_filter
|
||||
# # echo function > current_tracer
|
||||
#
|
||||
# And if it doesn't crash, we are done.
|
||||
#
|
||||
# If it does crash, do this again (there's more than one problem function)
|
||||
# but you need to echo the problem function(s) into set_ftrace_notrace before
|
||||
# enabling function tracing in the above steps. Or if you can compile the
|
||||
# kernel, annotate the problem functions with "notrace" and start again.
