Subject: [patch v8 02/10] add prctl task isolation prctl docs and samples
Add documentation and userspace sample code for prctl
task isolation interface.
Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@...hat.com>
---
v8:
- Document the possibility for ISOL_F_QUIESCE_ONE, to configure
individual features (Frederic Weisbecker).
- Fix PR_ISOL_CFG_GET typo in documentation (Frederic Weisbecker).
- Rebased against linux-2.6.git.
v7:
- No changes
v6:
- Update docs and samples regarding oneshot mode (Frederic Weisbecker).
- Update docs and samples regarding more extensibility of
CFG_SET of ISOL_F_QUIESCE (Frederic Weisbecker).
v5:
- Fix documentation typos (Frederic Weisbecker).
- Fix oneshot example comment
v4:
- Switch to structures for parameters when possible
(which are more extensible).
- Switch to CFG_{S,G}ET naming and use drop
"internal configuration" prctls (Frederic Weisbecker).
- Add summary of terms to documentation (Frederic Weisbecker).
- Examples for compute and one-shot modes (Thomas G/Christoph L).
v3:
- Split in smaller patches (Nitesh Lal).
- Misc cleanups (Nitesh Lal).
- Clarify nohz_full is not a dependency (Nicolas Saenz).
- Incorrect values for prctl definitions (kernel robot).
- Save configured state, so applications
can activate externally configured
task isolation parameters.
- Remove "system default" notion (chisol should
make it obsolete).
- Update documentation: add new section with explanation
about configuration/activation and code example.
- Update samples.
v2:
- Finer-grained control of quiescing (Frederic Weisbecker / Nicolas Saenz).
- Avoid potential regressions by allowing applications
to use ISOL_F_QUIESCE_DEFMASK (whose default value
is configurable in /sys/). (Nitesh Lal / Nicolas Saenz).

+===============================
+Task isolation prctl interface
+===============================
+
+Certain types of applications benefit from running uninterrupted by
+background OS activities. Realtime systems and high-bandwidth networking
+applications with user-space drivers can fall into the category.
+
+To create an OS noise free environment for the application, this
+interface allows userspace to inform the kernel the start and
+end of the latency sensitive application section (with configurable
+system behaviour for that section).
+
+Note: the prctl interface is independent of nohz_full=.
+
+The prctl options are:
+
+
+ - PR_ISOL_FEAT_GET: Retrieve supported features.
+ - PR_ISOL_CFG_GET: Retrieve task isolation configuration.
+ - PR_ISOL_CFG_SET: Set task isolation configuration.
+ - PR_ISOL_ACTIVATE_GET: Retrieve task isolation activation state.
+ - PR_ISOL_ACTIVATE_SET: Set task isolation activation state.
+
+Summary of terms:
+
+
+- feature:
+
+ A distinct attribute or aspect of task isolation. Examples of
+ features could be logging, new operating modes (eg: syscalls disallowed),
+ userspace notifications, etc. The only feature currently available is quiescing.
+
+- configuration:
+
+ A specific choice from a given set
+ of possible choices that dictate how the particular feature
+ in question should behave.
+
+- activation state:
+
+ The activation state (whether active/inactive) of the task
+ isolation features (features must be configured before
+ being activated).
+
+Inheritance of the isolation parameters and state, across
+fork(2) and clone(2), can be changed via
+PR_ISOL_CFG_GET/PR_ISOL_CFG_SET.
+
+
+At a high-level, task isolation is divided in two steps:
+
+1. Configuration.
+2. Activation.
+
+Section "Userspace support" describes how to use
+task isolation.
+
+In terms of the interface, the sequence of steps to activate
+task isolation are:
+
+1. Retrieve supported task isolation features (PR_ISOL_FEAT_GET).
+2. Configure task isolation features (PR_ISOL_CFG_GET/PR_ISOL_CFG_SET).
+3. Activate or deactivate task isolation features (PR_ISOL_ACTIVATE_GET/PR_ISOL_ACTIVATE_SET).
+
+This interface is based on ideas and code from the
+task isolation patchset from Alex Belits:
+https://lwn.net/Articles/816298/
+
+Note: if the need arises to configure an individual quiesce feature
+with its own extensible structure, please add ISOL_F_QUIESCE_ONE
+to PR_ISOL_CFG_GET/PR_ISOL_CFG_SET (ISOL_F_QUIESCE operates on
+multiple features per syscall currently).
+
+--------------------
+Feature description
+--------------------
+
+ - ``ISOL_F_QUIESCE``
+
+ This feature allows quiescing selected kernel activities on
+ return from system calls.
+
+---------------------
+Interface description
+---------------------
+
+**PR_ISOL_FEAT**:
+
+ Returns the supported features and feature
+ capabilities, as a bitmask::
+
+ prctl(PR_ISOL_FEAT, feat, arg3, arg4, arg5);
+
+ The 'feat' argument specifies whether to return
+ supported features (if zero), or feature capabilities
+ (if not zero). Possible values for 'feat' are:
+
+
+ - ``0``:
+ Return the bitmask of supported features, in the location
+ pointed to by ``(int *)arg3``. The buffer should allow space
+ for 8 bytes.
+
+ - ``ISOL_F_QUIESCE``:
+
+ Return a structure containing which kernel
+ activities are supported for quiescing, in the location
+ pointed to by ``(int *)arg3``::
+
+ struct task_isol_quiesce_extensions {
+ __u64 flags;
+ __u64 supported_quiesce_bits;
+ __u64 pad[6];
+ };
+
+ Where:
+
+ *flags*: Additional flags (should be zero).
+
+ *supported_quiesce_bits*: Bitmask indicating
+ which features are supported for quiescing.
+
+ *pad*: Additional space for future enhancements.
+
+
+ Features and its capabilities are defined at
+ include/uapi/linux/task_isolation.h.
+
+**PR_ISOL_CFG_GET**:
+
+ Retrieve task isolation configuration.
+ The general format is::
+
+ prctl(PR_ISOL_CFG_GET, what, arg3, arg4, arg5);
+
+ The 'what' argument specifies what to configure. Possible values are:
+
+ - ``I_CFG_FEAT``:
+
+ Return configuration of task isolation features. The 'arg3' argument specifies
+ whether to return configured features (if zero), or individual
+ feature configuration (if not zero), as follows.
+
+ - ``0``:
+
+ Return the bitmask of configured features, in the location
+ pointed to by ``(int *)arg4``. The buffer should allow space
+ for 8 bytes.
+
+ - ``ISOL_F_QUIESCE``:
+
+ If arg4 is QUIESCE_CONTROL, return the control structure for
+ quiescing of background kernel activities, in the location
+ pointed to by ``(int *)arg5``::
+
+ struct task_isol_quiesce_control {
+ __u64 flags;
+ __u64 quiesce_mask;
+ __u64 quiesce_oneshot_mask;
+ __u64 pad[5];
+ };
+
+ See PR_ISOL_CFG_SET description for meaning of fields.
+
+ - ``I_CFG_INHERIT``:
+
+ Retrieve inheritance configuration across fork/clone.
+
+ Return the structure which configures inheritance
+ across fork/clone, in the location pointed to
+ by ``(int *)arg4``::
+
+ struct task_isol_inherit_control {
+ __u8 inherit_mask;
+ __u8 pad[7];
+ };
+
+ See PR_ISOL_CFG_SET description for meaning of fields.
+
+**PR_ISOL_CFG_SET**:
+
+ Set task isolation configuration.
+ The general format is::
+
+ prctl(PR_ISOL_CFG_SET, what, arg3, arg4, arg5);
+
+ The 'what' argument specifies what to configure. Possible values are:
+
+ - ``I_CFG_FEAT``:
+
+ Set configuration of task isolation features. 'arg3' specifies
+ the feature. Possible values are:
+
+ - ``ISOL_F_QUIESCE``:
+
+ If arg4 is QUIESCE_CONTROL, set the control structure
+ for quiescing of background kernel activities, from
+ the location pointed to by ``(int *)arg5``::
+
+ struct task_isol_quiesce_control {
+ __u64 flags;
+ __u64 quiesce_mask;
+ __u64 quiesce_oneshot_mask;
+ __u64 pad[5];
+ };
+
+ Where:
+
+ *flags*: Additional flags (should be zero).
+
+ *quiesce_mask*: A bitmask containing which kernel
+ activities to quiesce.
+
+ *quiesce_oneshot_mask*: A bitmask indicating which kernel
+ activities should behave in oneshot mode, that is, quiescing
+ will happen on return from prctl(PR_ISOL_ACTIVATE_SET), but not
+ on return of subsequent system calls. The corresponding bit(s)
+ must also be set at quiesce_mask.
+
+ *pad*: Additional space for future enhancements.
+
+ For quiesce_mask (and quiesce_oneshot_mask), possible bit sets are:
+
+ - ``ISOL_F_QUIESCE_VMSTATS``
+
+ VM statistics are maintained in per-CPU counters to
+ improve performance. When a CPU modifies a VM statistic,
+ this modification is kept in the per-CPU counter.
+ Certain activities require a global count, which
+ involves requesting each CPU to flush its local counters
+ to the global VM counters.
+
+ This flush is implemented via a workqueue item, which
+ might schedule a workqueue on isolated CPUs.
+
+ To avoid this interruption, task isolation can be
+ configured to, upon return from system calls, synchronize
+ the per-CPU counters to global counters, thus avoiding
+ the interruption.
+
+ - ``I_CFG_INHERIT``:
+ Set inheritance configuration when a new task
+ is created via fork and clone.
+
+ The ``(int *)arg4`` argument is a pointer to::
+
+ struct task_isol_inherit_control {
+ __u8 inherit_mask;
+ __u8 pad[7];
+ };
+
+ inherit_mask is a bitmask that specifies which part
+ of task isolation should be inherited:
+
+ - Bit ISOL_INHERIT_CONF: Inherit task isolation configuration.
+ This is the state written via prctl(PR_ISOL_CFG_SET, ...).
+
+ - Bit ISOL_INHERIT_ACTIVE: Inherit task isolation activation
+ (requires ISOL_INHERIT_CONF to be set). The new task
+ should behave, after fork/clone, in the same manner
+ as the parent task after it executed:
+
+ prctl(PR_ISOL_ACTIVATE_SET, &mask, ...);
+
+**PR_ISOL_ACTIVATE_GET**:
+
+ Retrieve task isolation activation state.
+
+ The general format is::
+
+ prctl(PR_ISOL_ACTIVATE_GET, pmask, arg3, arg4, arg5);
+
+ 'pmask' specifies the location of a feature mask, where
+ the current active mask will be copied. See PR_ISOL_ACTIVATE_SET
+ for description of individual bits.
+
+
+**PR_ISOL_ACTIVATE_SET**:
+
+ Set task isolation activation state (activates/deactivates
+ task isolation).
+
+ The general format is::
+
+ prctl(PR_ISOL_ACTIVATE_SET, pmask, arg3, arg4, arg5);
+
+
+ The 'pmask' argument specifies the location of an 8 byte mask
+ containing which features should be activated. Features whose
+ bits are cleared will be deactivated. The possible
+ bits for this mask are:
+
+ - ``ISOL_F_QUIESCE``:
+
+ Activate quiescing of background kernel activities.
+ Quiescing happens on return to userspace from this
+ system call, and on return from subsequent
+ system calls (unless quiesce_oneshot_mask has been set at
+ PR_ISOL_CFG_SET time).
+
+ Quiescing can be adjusted (while active) by
+ prctl(PR_ISOL_ACTIVATE_SET, &new_mask, ...).
+
+
+==================
+Userspace support
+==================
+
+Task isolation is divided in two main steps: configuration and activation.
+
+Each step can be performed by an external tool or the latency sensitive
+application itself. util-linux contains the "chisol" tool for this
+purpose.
+
+This results in three combinations:
+
+1. Both configuration and activation performed by the
+latency sensitive application.
+Allows fine grained control of what task isolation
+features are enabled and when (see samples section below).
+
+2. Only activation can be performed by the latency sensitive app
+(and configuration performed by chisol).
+This allows the admin/user to control task isolation parameters,
+and applications have to be modified only once.
+
+3. Configuration and activation performed by an external tool.
+This allows unmodified applications to take advantage of
+task isolation. Activation is performed by the "-a" option
+of chisol.
+
+========
+Examples
+========
+
+The ``samples/task_isolation/`` directory contains 3 examples:
+
+* task_isol_userloop.c:
+
+ Example of program with a loop on userspace scenario.
+
+* task_isol_computation.c:
+
+ Example of program that enters task isolated mode,
+ performs an amount of computation, exits task
+ isolated mode, and writes the computation to disk.
+
+* task_isol_oneshot.c:
+
+ Example of program that enables one-shot
+ mode for quiescing, enters a processing loop, then upon an external
+ event performs a number of syscalls to handle that event.
+
+This is a snippet of code to activate task isolation if
+it has been previously configured (by chisol for example)::
+
+ #include <sys/prctl.h>
+ #include <linux/types.h>
+
+ #ifdef PR_ISOL_CFG_GET
+ unsigned long long fmask;
+
+ ret = prctl(PR_ISOL_CFG_GET, I_CFG_FEAT, 0, &fmask, 0);
+ if (ret != -1 && fmask != 0) {
+ ret = prctl(PR_ISOL_ACTIVATE_SET, &fmask, 0, 0, 0);
+ if (ret == -1) {
+ perror("prctl PR_ISOL_ACTIVATE_SET");
+ return ret;
+ }
+ }
+ #endif
+
