The latency that is tracked is not + * the 'traditional' interrupt latency (which is primarily caused by something + * else consuming CPU), but instead, it is the latency an application encounters + * because the kernel sleeps on its behalf for various reasons. + * + * This code tracks 2 levels of statistics: + * 1) System level latency + * 2) Per process latency + * + * The latency is stored in fixed sized data structures in an accumulated form; + * if the "same" latency cause is hit twice, this will be tracked as one entry + * in the data structure. Both the count, total accumulated latency and maximum + * latency are tracked in this data structure. When the fixed size structure is + * full, no new causes are tracked until the buffer is flushed by writing to + * the /proc file; the userspace tool does this on a regular basis. + * + * A latency cause is identified by a stringified backtrace at the point that + * the scheduler gets invoked. The userland tool will use this string to + * identify the cause of the latency in human readable form. + * + * The information is exported via /proc/latency_stats and /proc/<pid>/latency. + * These files look like this: + * + * Latency Top version : v0.1 + * 70 59433 4897 i915_irq_wait drm_ioctl vfs_ioctl do_vfs_ioctl sys_ioctl + * | | | | + * | | | +----> the stringified backtrace + * | | +---------> The maximum latency for this entry in microseconds + * | +--------------> The accumulated latency for this entry (microseconds) + * +-------------------> The number of times this entry is hit + * + * (note: the average latency is the accumulated latency divided by the number + * of times) + */ + #include <linux/latencytop.h> #include <linux/kallsyms.h> #include <linux/seq_file.h> @@ -72,7 +110,7 @@ account_global_scheduler_latency(struct task_struct *tsk, struct latency_record firstnonnull = i; continue; } - for (q = 0 ; q < LT_BACKTRACEDEPTH ; q++) { + for (q = 0; q < LT_BACKTRACEDEPTH; q++) { unsigned long record = lat->backtrace[q]; if (latency_record[i].backtrace[q] != record) { @@ -101,31 +139,52 @@ account_global_scheduler_latency(struct task_struct *tsk, struct latency_record memcpy(&latency_record[i], lat, sizeof(struct latency_record)); } -static inline void store_stacktrace(struct task_struct *tsk, struct latency_record *lat) +/* + * Iterator to store a backtrace into a latency record entry + */ +static inline void store_stacktrace(struct task_struct *tsk, + struct latency_record *lat) { struct stack_trace trace; memset(&trace, 0, sizeof(trace)); trace.max_entries = LT_BACKTRACEDEPTH; trace.entries = &lat->backtrace[0]; - trace.skip = 0; save_stack_trace_tsk(tsk, &trace); } +/** + * __account_scheduler_latency - record an occured latency + * @tsk - the task struct of the task hitting the latency + * @usecs - the duration of the latency in microseconds + * @inter - 1 if the sleep was interruptible, 0 if uninterruptible + * + * This function is the main entry point for recording latency entries + * as called by the scheduler. + * + * This function has a few special cases to deal with normal 'non-latency' + * sleeps: specifically, interruptible sleep longer than 5 msec is skipped + * since this usually is caused by waiting for events via select() and co. + * + * Negative latencies (caused by time going backwards) are also explicitly + * skipped. + */ void __sched -account_scheduler_latency(struct task_struct *tsk, int usecs, int inter) +__account_scheduler_latency(struct task_struct *tsk, int usecs, int inter) { unsigned long flags; int i, q; struct latency_record lat; - if (!latencytop_enabled) - return; - /* Long interruptible waits are generally user requested... */ if (inter && usecs > 5000) return; + /* Negative sleeps are time going backwards */ + /* Zero-time sleeps are non-interesting */ + if (usecs <= 0) + return; + memset(&lat, 0, sizeof(lat)); lat.count = 1; lat.time = usecs; @@ -143,12 +202,12 @@ account_scheduler_latency(struct task_struct *tsk, int usecs, int inter) if (tsk->latency_record_count >= LT_SAVECOUNT) goto out_unlock; - for (i = 0; i < LT_SAVECOUNT ; i++) { + for (i = 0; i < LT_SAVECOUNT; i++) { struct latency_record *mylat; int same = 1; mylat = &tsk->latency_record[i]; - for (q = 0 ; q < LT_BACKTRACEDEPTH ; q++) { + for (q = 0; q < LT_BACKTRACEDEPTH; q++) { unsigned long record = lat.backtrace[q]; if (mylat->backtrace[q] != record) { @@ -186,7 +245,7 @@ static int lstats_show(struct seq_file *m, void *v) for (i = 0; i < MAXLR; i++) { if (latency_record[i].backtrace[0]) { int q; - seq_printf(m, "%i %li %li ", + seq_printf(m, "%i %lu %lu ", latency_record[i].count, latency_record[i].time, latency_record[i].max); @@ -223,7 +282,7 @@ static int lstats_open(struct inode *inode, struct file *filp) return single_open(filp, lstats_show, NULL); } -static struct file_operations lstats_fops = { +static const struct file_operations lstats_fops = { .open = lstats_open, .read = seq_read, .write = lstats_write, @@ -236,4 +295,4 @@ static int __init init_lstats_procfs(void) proc_create("latency_stats", 0644, NULL, &lstats_fops); return 0; } -__initcall(init_lstats_procfs); +device_initcall(init_lstats_procfs); |
