Synthetic events are user-defined events generated from hist trigger variables saved from one or more other events. To define a synthetic event, the user writes a simple specification consisting of the name of the new event along with one or more variables and their type(s), to the tracing/synthetic_events file. For instance, the following creates a new event named 'wakeup_latency' with 3 fields: lat, pid, and prio: # echo 'wakeup_latency u64 lat; pid_t pid; int prio' >> \ /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/synthetic_events Reading the tracing/synthetic_events file lists all the currently-defined synthetic events, in this case the event we defined above: # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/synthetic_events wakeup_latency u64 lat; pid_t pid; int prio At this point, the synthetic event is ready to use, and a histogram can be defined using it: # echo 'hist:keys=pid,prio,lat.log2:sort=pid,lat' >> \ /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/synthetic/wakeup_latency/trigger The new event is created under the tracing/events/synthetic/ directory and looks and behaves just like any other event: # ls /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/synthetic/wakeup_latency enable filter format hist id trigger Although a histogram can be defined for it, nothing will happen until an action tracing that event via the trace_synth() function occurs. The trace_synth() function is very similar to all the other trace_* invocations spread throughout the kernel, except in this case the trace_ function and its corresponding tracepoint isn't statically generated but defined by the user at run-time. How this can be automatically hooked up via a hist trigger 'action' is discussed in a subsequent patch.

Add a hook for executing extra actions whenever a histogram entry is added or updated. The default 'action' when a hist entry is added to a histogram is to update the set of values associated with it. Some applications may want to perform additional actions at that point, such as generate another event, or compare and save a maximum. Add a simple framework for doing that; specific actions will be implemented on top of it in later patches.

Add the necessary infrastructure to allow the variables defined on one event to be referenced in another. This allows variables set by a previous event to be referenced and used in expressions combining the variable values saved by that previous event and the event fields of the current event. For example, here's how a latency can be calculated and saved into yet another variable named 'wakeup_lat': # echo 'hist:keys=pid,prio:ts0=common_timestamp ... # echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:wakeup_lat=common_timestamp-$ts0 ... In the first event, the event's timetamp is saved into the variable ts0. In the next line, ts0 is subtracted from the second event's timestamp to produce the latency. Further users of variable references will be described in subsequent patches, such as for instance how the 'wakeup_lat' variable above can be displayed in a latency histogram.

Up until now, hist triggers only needed per-element support for saving 'comm' data, which was saved directly as a private data pointer. In anticipation of the need to save other data besides 'comm', add a new hist_elt_data struct for the purpose, and switch the current 'comm'-related code over to that.

Add support for simple addition, subtraction, and unary expressions (-(expr) and expr, where expr = b-a, a+b, a+b+c) to hist triggers, in order to support a minimal set of useful inter-event calculations. These operations are needed for calculating latencies between events (timestamp1-timestamp0) and for combined latencies (latencies over 3 or more events). In the process, factor out some common code from key and value parsing.

Named triggers must also have the same set of variables in order to be considered compatible - update the trigger match test to account for that. The reason for this requirement is that named triggers with variables are meant to allow one or more events to set the same variable.

Add support for saving the value of a current event's event field by assigning it to a variable that can be read by a subsequent event. The basic syntax for saving a variable is to simply prefix a unique variable name not corresponding to any keyword along with an '=' sign to any event field. Both keys and values can be saved and retrieved in this way: # echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:vals=$ts0:ts0=common_timestamp ... # echo 'hist:timer_pid=common_pid:key=$timer_pid ...' If a variable isn't a key variable or prefixed with 'vals=', the associated event field will be saved in a variable but won't be summed as a value: # echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:ts1=common_timestamp:... Multiple variables can be assigned at the same time: # echo 'hist:keys=pid:vals=$ts0,$b,field2:ts0=common_timestamp,b=field1 ... Multiple (or single) variables can also be assigned at the same time using separate assignments: # echo 'hist:keys=pid:vals=$ts0:ts0=common_timestamp:b=field1:c=field2 ... Variables set as above can be used by being referenced from another event, as described in a subsequent patch.

Appending .usecs onto a common_timestamp field will cause the timestamp value to be in microseconds instead of the default nanoseconds. A typical latency histogram using usecs would look like this: # echo 'hist:keys=pid,prio:ts0=common_timestamp.usecs ... # echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:wakeup_lat=common_timestamp.usecs-$ts0 ... This also adds an external trace_clock_in_ns() to trace.c for the timestamp conversion.

In order to allow information to be passed between trace events, add support for per-element variables to tracing_map. This provides a means for histograms to associate a value or values with an entry when it's saved or updated, and retrieved by a subsequent event occurrences. Variables can be set using tracing_map_set_var() and read using tracing_map_read_var(). tracing_map_var_set() returns true or false depending on whether or not the variable has been set or not, which is important for event-matching applications. tracing_map_read_var_once() reads the variable and resets it to the 'unset' state, implementing read-once variables, which are also important for event-matching uses.

Add support for a timestamp event field. This is actually a 'pseudo-' event field in that it behaves like it's part of the event record, but is really part of the corresponding ring buffer event. To make use of the timestamp field, users can specify "common_timestamp" as a field name for any histogram. Note that this doesn't make much sense on its own either as either a key or value, but needs to be supported even so, since follow-on patches will add support for making use of this field in time deltas. The common_timestamp 'field' is not a bona fide event field - so you won't find it in the event description - but rather it's a synthetic field that can be used like a real field. Note that the use of this field requires the ring buffer be put into 'absolute timestamp' mode, which saves the complete timestamp for each event rather than an offset. This mode will be enabled if and only if a histogram makes use of the "common_timestamp" field.

Add a new option flag indicating whether or not the ring buffer is in 'absolute timestamp' mode. Currently this is only set/unset by hist triggers that make use of a common_timestamp. As such, there's no reason to make this writeable for users - its purpose is only to allow users to determine unequivocally whether or not the ring buffer is in that mode (although absolute timestamps can coexist with the normal delta timestamps, when the ring buffer is in absolute mode, timestamps written while absolute mode is in effect take up more space in the buffer, and are not as efficient).

Tom Zanussi authored
RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP is defined but not used, and from what I can gather was reserved for something like an absolute timestamp feature for the ring buffer, if not a complete replacement of the current time_delta scheme. This code redefines RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP to implement absolute time stamps. Another way to look at it is that it essentially forces extended time_deltas for all events. The motivation for doing this is to enable time_deltas that aren't dependent on previous events in the ring buffer, making it feasible to use the ring_buffer_event timetamps in a more random-access way, for purposes other than serial event printing. To set/reset this mode, use tracing_set_timestamp_abs() from the previous interface patch.

We now have the logic to detect and remove duplicates in the tracing_map hash table. The code which merges duplicates in the histogram is redundant now. So, modify this code just to detect duplicates. The duplication detection code is still kept to ensure that any rare race condition which might cause duplicates does not go unnoticed.

A duplicate in the tracing_map hash table is when 2 different entries have the same key and, as a result, the key_hash. This is possible due to a race condition in the algorithm. This race condition is inherent to the algorithm and not a bug. This was fine because, until now, we were only interested in the sum of all the values related to a particular key (the duplicates are dealt with in tracing_map_sort_entries()). But, with the inclusion of variables[1], we are interested in individual values. So, it will not be clear what value to choose when there are duplicates. So, the duplicates need to be removed. The duplicates can occur in the code in the following scenarios: - A thread is in the process of adding a new element. It has successfully executed cmpxchg() and inserted the key. But, it is still not done acquiring the trace_map_elt struct, populating it and storing the pointer to the struct in the value field of tracing_map hash table. If another thread comes in at this time and wants to add an element with the same key, it will not see the current element and add a new one. - There are multiple threads trying to execute cmpxchg at the same time, one of the threads will succeed and the others will fail. The ones which fail will go ahead increment 'idx' and add a new element there creating a duplicate. This patch detects and avoids the first condition by asking the thread which detects the duplicate to loop one more time. There is also a possibility of infinite loop if the thread which is trying to insert goes to sleep indefinitely and the one which is trying to insert a new element detects a duplicate. Which is why, the thread loops for map_size iterations before returning NULL. The second scenario is avoided by preventing the threads which failed cmpxchg() from incrementing idx. This way, they will loop around and check if the thread which succeeded in executing cmpxchg() had the same key.

Re-enable deep flush so that users always have a way to be sure that a write makes it all the way out to media. Writes from the PMEM driver always arrive at the NVDIMM since movnt is used to bypass the cache, and the driver relies on the ADR (Asynchronous DRAM Refresh) mechanism to flush write buffers on power failure. The Deep Flush mechanism is there to explicitly write buffers to protect against (rare) ADR failure. This change prevents a regression in deep flush behavior so that applications can continue to depend on fsync() as a mechanism to trigger deep flush in the filesystem-DAX case.

Filesystem-DAX is incompatible with 'longterm' page pinning. Without page cache indirection a DAX mapping maps filesystem blocks directly. This means that the filesystem must not modify a file's block map while any page in a mapping is pinned. In order to prevent the situation of userspace holding of filesystem operations indefinitely, disallow 'longterm' Filesystem-DAX mappings. RDMA has the same conflict and the plan there is to add a 'with lease' mechanism to allow the kernel to notify userspace that the mapping is being torn down for block-map maintenance. Perhaps something similar can be put in place for vfio. Note that xfs and ext4 still report: "DAX enabled. Warning: EXPERIMENTAL, use at your own risk" ...at mount time, and resolving the dax-dma-vs-truncate problem is one of the last hurdles to remove that designation. Acked-by:
