Subject: [PATCH V5 10/14] trace: Add timerlat tracer
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

# / _----=> need-resched

<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

+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] d..h... 548.771078: #402268 context irq timer_latency 13585 ns
+ 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 ==>::

+---------------------------
+
+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

+
+ static int __init dummy_load_1ms_pd_init(void)

+ preempt_enable();
+ return 0;
