trace: Add timerlat tracer

Browse Source 
The timerlat tracer aims to help the preemptive kernel developers to
found souces of wakeup latencies of real-time threads. Like cyclictest,
the tracer sets a periodic timer that wakes up a thread. The thread then
computes a *wakeup latency* value as the difference between the *current
time* and the *absolute time* that the timer was set to expire. The main
goal of timerlat is tracing in such a way to help kernel developers.

Usage

Write the ASCII text "timerlat" into the current_tracer file of the
tracing system (generally mounted at /sys/kernel/tracing).

For example:

        [root@f32 ~]# cd /sys/kernel/tracing/
        [root@f32 tracing]# echo timerlat > current_tracer

It is possible to follow the trace by reading the trace trace file:

  [root@f32 tracing]# cat trace
  # tracer: timerlat
  #
  #                              _-----=> irqs-off
  #                             / _----=> need-resched
  #                            | / _---=> hardirq/softirq
  #                            || / _--=> preempt-depth
  #                            || /

           <...>-868     [001] ....    54.029353: #1     context thread timer_latency      9820 ns
          <idle>-0       [000] d.h1    54.030328: #2     context    irq timer_latency       769 ns
           <...>-867     [000] ....    54.030330: #2     context thread timer_latency      3070 ns
          <idle>-0       [001] d.h1    54.030344: #2     context    irq timer_latency       935 ns
           <...>-868     [001] ....    54.030347: #2     context thread timer_latency      4351 ns

The tracer creates a per-cpu kernel thread with real-time priority that
prints two lines at every activation. The first is the *timer latency*
observed at the *hardirq* context before the activation of the thread.
The second is the *timer latency* observed by the thread, which is the
same level that cyclictest reports. The ACTIVATION ID field
serves to relate the *irq* execution to its respective *thread* execution.

The irq/thread splitting is important to clarify at which context
the unexpected high value is coming from. The *irq* context can be
delayed by hardware related actions, such as SMIs, NMIs, IRQs
or by a thread masking interrupts. Once the timer happens, the delay
can also be influenced by blocking caused by threads. For example, by
postponing the scheduler execution via preempt_disable(),  by the
scheduler execution, or by masking interrupts. Threads can
also be delayed by the interference from other threads and IRQs.

The timerlat can also take advantage of the osnoise: traceevents.
For example:

        [root@f32 ~]# cd /sys/kernel/tracing/
        [root@f32 tracing]# echo timerlat > current_tracer
        [root@f32 tracing]# echo osnoise > set_event
        [root@f32 tracing]# echo 25 > osnoise/stop_tracing_total_us
        [root@f32 tracing]# tail -10 trace

<...>-868 [001] .... 54.030347: #2 context thread timer_latency 4351 ns
The tracer creates a per-cpu kernel thread with real-time priority that
prints two lines at every activation. The first is the *timer latency*
observed at the *hardirq* context before the activation of the thread.
The second is the *timer latency* observed by the thread. The ACTIVATION
ID field serves to relate the *irq* execution to its respective *thread*
execution.
The *irq*/*thread* splitting is important to clarify at which context
the unexpected high value is coming from. The *irq* context can be
delayed by hardware related actions, such as SMIs, NMIs, IRQs
or by a thread masking interrupts. Once the timer happens, the delay
can also be influenced by blocking caused by threads. For example, by
postponing the scheduler execution via preempt_disable(), by the
scheduler execution, or by masking interrupts. Threads can
also be delayed by the interference from other threads and IRQs.
Tracer options
---------------------
The timerlat tracer is built on top of osnoise tracer.
So its configuration is also done in the osnoise/ config
directory. The timerlat configs are:
- cpus: CPUs at which a timerlat thread will execute.
- timerlat_period_us: the period of the timerlat thread.
- osnoise/stop_tracing_us: stop the system tracing if a
timer latency at the *irq* context higher than the configured
value happens. Writing 0 disables this option.
- stop_tracing_total_us: stop the system tracing if a
timer latency at the *thread* context higher than the configured
value happens. Writing 0 disables this option.
- print_stack: save the stack of the IRQ ocurrence, and print
it afte the *thread context* event".
timerlat and osnoise
----------------------------
The timerlat can also take advantage of the osnoise: traceevents.
For example::
[root@f32 ~]# cd /sys/kernel/tracing/
[root@f32 tracing]# echo timerlat > current_tracer
[root@f32 tracing]# echo 1 > events/osnoise/enable
[root@f32 tracing]# echo 25 > osnoise/stop_tracing_total_us
[root@f32 tracing]# tail -10 trace

cc1-87882 [005] dNLh1.. 548.771082: irq_noise: local_timer:236 start 548.771077442 duration 7597 ns
cc1-87882 [005] dNLh2.. 548.771099: irq_noise: qxl:21 start 548.771085017 duration 7139 ns
cc1-87882 [005] d...3.. 548.771102: thread_noise: cc1:87882 start 548.771078243 duration 9909 ns
timerlat/5-1035 [005] ....... 548.771104: #402268 context thread timer_latency 39960 ns
In this case, the root cause of the timer latency does not point to a
single cause, but to multiple ones. Firstly, the timer IRQ was delayed
for 13 us, which may point to a long IRQ disabled section (see IRQ
stacktrace section). Then the timer interrupt that wakes up the timerlat
thread took 7597 ns, and the qxl:21 device IRQ took 7139 ns. Finally,
the cc1 thread noise took 9909 ns of time before the context switch.
Such pieces of evidence are useful for the developer to use other
tracing methods to figure out how to debug and optimize the system.
It is worth mentioning that the *duration* values reported
by the osnoise: events are *net* values. For example, the
thread_noise does not include the duration of the overhead caused
by the IRQ execution (which indeed accounted for 12736 ns). But
the values reported by the timerlat tracer (timerlat_latency)
are *gross* values.
The art below illustrates a CPU timeline and how the timerlat tracer
observes it at the top and the osnoise: events at the bottom. Each "-"
in the timelines means circa 1 us, and the time moves ==>::

IRQ stacktrace
---------------------------
The osnoise/print_stack option is helpful for the cases in which a thread
noise causes the major factor for the timer latency, because of preempt or
irq disabled. For example::
[root@f32 tracing]# echo 500 > osnoise/stop_tracing_total_us
[root@f32 tracing]# echo 500 > osnoise/print_stack
[root@f32 tracing]# echo timerlat > current_tracer

In this case, it is possible to see that the thread added the highest
contribution to the *timer latency* and the stack trace, saved during
the timerlat IRQ handler, points to a function named
dummy_load_1ms_pd_init, which had the following code (on purpose)::
static int __init dummy_load_1ms_pd_init(void)
{
preempt_disable();
mdelay(1);
preempt_enable();
return 0;
}

The timerlat tracer aims to help the preemptive kernel developers
to find sources of wakeup latencies of real-time threads.
The tracer creates a per-cpu kernel thread with real-time priority.
The tracer thread sets a periodic timer to wakeup itself, and goes
to sleep waiting for the timer to fire. At the wakeup, the thread
then computes a wakeup latency value as the difference between
the current time and the absolute time that the timer was set
to expire.
The tracer prints two lines at every activation. The first is the
timer latency observed at the hardirq context before the
activation of the thread. The second is the timer latency observed
by the thread, which is the same level that cyclictest reports. The
ACTIVATION ID field serves to relate the irq execution to its
respective thread execution.
The tracer is build on top of osnoise tracer, and the osnoise:
events can be used to trace the source of interference from NMI,
IRQs and other threads. It also enables the capture of the
stacktrace at the IRQ context, which helps to identify the code
path that can cause thread delay.
