rtla: Add timerlat tool and timelart top mode The rtla timerlat tool is an interface for the timerlat tracer. The timerlat tracer dispatches a kernel thread per-cpu. These threads set a periodic timer to wake themselves up and go back to sleep. After the wakeup, they collect and generate useful information for the debugging of operating system timer latency. The timerlat tracer outputs information in two ways. It periodically prints the timer latency at the timer IRQ handler and the Thread handler. It also provides information for each noise via the osnoise tracepoints. The rtla timerlat top mode displays a summary of the periodic output from the timerlat tracer. Here is one example of the rtla timerlat tool output: ---------- %< ---------- [root@alien ~]# rtla timerlat top -c 0-3 -d 1m Timer Latency 0 00:01:00 | IRQ Timer Latency (us) | Thread Timer Latency (us) CPU COUNT | cur min avg max | cur min avg max 0 #60001 | 0 0 0 3 | 1 1 1 6 1 #60001 | 0 0 0 3 | 2 1 1 5 2 #60001 | 0 0 1 6 | 1 1 2 7 3 #60001 | 0 0 0 7 | 1 1 1 11 ---------- >% ---------- Running: # rtla timerlat --help # rtla timerlat top --help provides information about the available options.

rtla/timerlat: Add auto-analysis support to timerlat top Currently, timerlat top displays the timerlat tracer latency results, saving the intuitive timerlat trace for the developer to analyze. This patch goes a step forward in the automaton of the scheduling latency analysis by providing a summary of the root cause of a latency higher than the passed "stop tracing" parameter if the trace stops. The output is intuitive enough for non-expert users to have a general idea of the root cause by looking at each factor's contribution percentage while keeping the technical detail in the output for more expert users to start an in dept debug or to correlate a root cause with an existing one. The terminology is in line with recent industry and academic publications to facilitate the understanding of both audiences. Here is one example of tool output: ----------------------------------------- %< ----------------------------------------------------- # taskset -c 0 timerlat -a 40 -c 1-23 -q Timer Latency 0 00:00:12 | IRQ Timer Latency (us) | Thread Timer Latency (us) CPU COUNT | cur min avg max | cur min avg max 1 #12322 | 0 0 1 15 | 10 3 9 31 2 #12322 | 3 0 1 12 | 10 3 9 23 3 #12322 | 1 0 1 21 | 8 2 8 34 4 #12322 | 1 0 1 17 | 10 2 11 33 5 #12322 | 0 0 1 12 | 8 3 8 25 6 #12322 | 1 0 1 14 | 16 3 11 35 7 #12322 | 0 0 1 14 | 9 2 8 29 8 #12322 | 1 0 1 22 | 9 3 9 34 9 #12322 | 0 0 1 14 | 8 2 8 24 10 #12322 | 1 0 0 12 | 9 3 8 24 11 #12322 | 0 0 0 15 | 6 2 7 29 12 #12321 | 1 0 0 13 | 5 3 8 23 13 #12319 | 0 0 1 14 | 9 3 9 26 14 #12321 | 1 0 0 13 | 6 2 8 24 15 #12321 | 1 0 1 15 | 12 3 11 27 16 #12318 | 0 0 1 13 | 7 3 10 24 17 #12319 | 0 0 1 13 | 11 3 9 25 18 #12318 | 0 0 0 12 | 8 2 8 20 19 #12319 | 0 0 1 18 | 10 2 9 28 20 #12317 | 0 0 0 20 | 9 3 8 34 21 #12318 | 0 0 0 13 | 8 3 8 28 22 #12319 | 0 0 1 11 | 8 3 10 22 23 #12320 | 28 0 1 28 | 41 3 11 41 rtla timerlat hit stop tracing ## CPU 23 hit stop tracing, analyzing it ## IRQ handler delay: 27.49 us (65.52 %) IRQ latency: 28.13 us Timerlat IRQ duration: 9.59 us (22.85 %) Blocking thread: 3.79 us (9.03 %) objtool:49256 3.79 us Blocking thread stacktrace -> timerlat_irq -> __hrtimer_run_queues -> hrtimer_interrupt -> __sysvec_apic_timer_interrupt -> sysvec_apic_timer_interrupt -> asm_sysvec_apic_timer_interrupt -> _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore -> cgroup_rstat_flush_locked -> cgroup_rstat_flush_irqsafe -> mem_cgroup_flush_stats -> mem_cgroup_wb_stats -> balance_dirty_pages -> balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited_flags -> btrfs_buffered_write -> btrfs_do_write_iter -> vfs_write -> __x64_sys_pwrite64 -> do_syscall_64 -> entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thread latency: 41.96 us (100%) The system has exit from idle latency!

rtla/timerlat: Add auto-analysis support to timerlat top Currently, timerlat top displays the timerlat tracer latency results, saving the intuitive timerlat trace for the developer to analyze.

rtla/timerlat: Add auto-analysis support to timerlat top Currently, timerlat top displays the timerlat tracer latency results, saving the intuitive timerlat trace for the developer to analyze. This patch goes a step forward in the automaton of the scheduling latency analysis by providing a summary of the root cause of a latency higher than the passed "stop tracing" parameter if the trace stops. The output is intuitive enough for non-expert users to have a general idea of the root cause by looking at each factor's contribution percentage while keeping the technical detail in the output for more expert users to start an in dept debug or to correlate a root cause with an existing one. The terminology is in line with recent industry and academic publications to facilitate the understanding of both audiences. Here is one example of tool output: ----------------------------------------- %< ----------------------------------------------------- # taskset -c 0 timerlat -a 40 -c 1-23 -q Timer Latency 0 00:00:12 | IRQ Timer Latency (us) | Thread Timer Latency (us) CPU COUNT | cur min avg max | cur min avg max 1 #12322 | 0 0 1 15 | 10 3 9 31 2 #12322 | 3 0 1 12 | 10 3 9 23 3 #12322 | 1 0 1 21 | 8 2 8 34 4 #12322 | 1 0 1 17 | 10 2 11 33 5 #12322 | 0 0 1 12 | 8 3 8 25 6 #12322 | 1 0 1 14 | 16 3 11 35 7 #12322 | 0 0 1 14 | 9 2 8 29 8 #12322 | 1 0 1 22 | 9 3 9 34 9 #12322 | 0 0 1 14 | 8 2 8 24 10 #12322 | 1 0 0 12 | 9 3 8 24 11 #12322 | 0 0 0 15 | 6 2 7 29 12 #12321 | 1 0 0 13 | 5 3 8 23 13 #12319 | 0 0 1 14 | 9 3 9 26 14 #12321 | 1 0 0 13 | 6 2 8 24 15 #12321 | 1 0 1 15 | 12 3 11 27 16 #12318 | 0 0 1 13 | 7 3 10 24 17 #12319 | 0 0 1 13 | 11 3 9 25 18 #12318 | 0 0 0 12 | 8 2 8 20 19 #12319 | 0 0 1 18 | 10 2 9 28 20 #12317 | 0 0 0 20 | 9 3 8 34 21 #12318 | 0 0 0 13 | 8 3 8 28 22 #12319 | 0 0 1 11 | 8 3 10 22 23 #12320 | 28 0 1 28 | 41 3 11 41 rtla timerlat hit stop tracing ## CPU 23 hit stop tracing, analyzing it ## IRQ handler delay: 27.49 us (65.52 %) IRQ latency: 28.13 us Timerlat IRQ duration: 9.59 us (22.85 %) Blocking thread: 3.79 us (9.03 %) objtool:49256 3.79 us Blocking thread stacktrace -> timerlat_irq -> __hrtimer_run_queues -> hrtimer_interrupt -> __sysvec_apic_timer_interrupt -> sysvec_apic_timer_interrupt -> asm_sysvec_apic_timer_interrupt -> _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore -> cgroup_rstat_flush_locked -> cgroup_rstat_flush_irqsafe -> mem_cgroup_flush_stats -> mem_cgroup_wb_stats -> balance_dirty_pages -> balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited_flags -> btrfs_buffered_write -> btrfs_do_write_iter -> vfs_write -> __x64_sys_pwrite64 -> do_syscall_64 -> entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thread latency: 41.96 us (100%) The system has exit from idle latency! Max timerlat IRQ latency from idle: 17.48 us in cpu 4 Saving trace to timerlat_trace.txt ----------------------------------------- >% ----------------------------------------------------- In this case, the major factor was the delay suffered by the IRQ handler that handles timerlat wakeup: 65.52 %. This can be caused by the current thread masking interrupts, which can be seen in the blocking thread stacktrace: the current thread (objtool:49256) disabled interrupts via raw spin lock operations inside mem cgroup, while doing write syscall in a btrfs file system. A simple search for the function name on Google shows that this is a legit case for disabling the interrupts: cgroup: Use irqsave in cgroup_rstat_flush_locked() lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20220301122143.1521823-2-bigeasy@linutronix.de/ The output also prints other reasons for the latency root cause, such as: - an IRQ that happened before the IRQ handler that caused delays - The interference from NMI, IRQ, Softirq, and Threads The details about how these factors affect the scheduling latency can be found here: https://bristot.me/demystifying-the-real-time-linux-latency/ Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/3d45f40e630317f51ac6d678e2d96d310e495729.1675179318.git.bristot@kernel.org Cc: Daniel Bristot de Oliveira <bristot@kernel.org> Cc: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net> Signed-off-by: Daniel Bristot de Oliveira <bristot@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (Google) <rostedt@goodmis.org>

rtla/timerlat: Add auto-analysis support to timerlat top Currently, timerlat top displays the timerlat tracer latency results, saving the intuitive timerlat trace for the developer to analyze.

rtla: Add timerlat tool and timelart top mode The rtla timerlat tool is an interface for the timerlat tracer. The timerlat tracer dispatches a kernel thread per-cpu. These threads set a periodic timer to wake themselves up and go back to sleep. After the wakeup, they collect and generate useful information for the debugging of operating system timer latency. The timerlat tracer outputs information in two ways. It periodically prints the timer latency at the timer IRQ handler and the Thread handler. It also provides information for each noise via the osnoise tracepoints. The rtla timerlat top mode displays a summary of the periodic output from the timerlat tracer. Here is one example of the rtla timerlat tool output: ---------- %< ---------- [root@alien ~]# rtla timerlat top -c 0-3 -d 1m Timer Latency 0 00:01:00 | IRQ Timer Latency (us) | Thread Timer Latency (us) CPU COUNT | cur min avg max | cur min avg max 0 #60001 | 0 0 0 3 | 1 1 1 6 1 #60001 | 0 0 0 3 | 2 1 1 5 2 #60001 | 0 0 1 6 | 1 1 2 7 3 #60001 | 0 0 0 7 | 1 1 1 11 ---------- >% ---------- Running: # rtla timerlat --help # rtla timerlat top --help provides information about the available options.

rtla/timerlat: Add auto-analysis support to timerlat top Currently, timerlat top displays the timerlat tracer latency results, saving the intuitive timerlat trace for the developer to analyze. This patch goes a step forward in the automaton of the scheduling latency analysis by providing a summary of the root cause of a latency higher than the passed "stop tracing" parameter if the trace stops. The output is intuitive enough for non-expert users to have a general idea of the root cause by looking at each factor's contribution percentage while keeping the technical detail in the output for more expert users to start an in dept debug or to correlate a root cause with an existing one. The terminology is in line with recent industry and academic publications to facilitate the understanding of both audiences. Here is one example of tool output: ----------------------------------------- %< ----------------------------------------------------- # taskset -c 0 timerlat -a 40 -c 1-23 -q Timer Latency 0 00:00:12 | IRQ Timer Latency (us) | Thread Timer Latency (us) CPU COUNT | cur min avg max | cur min avg max 1 #12322 | 0 0 1 15 | 10 3 9 31 2 #12322 | 3 0 1 12 | 10 3 9 23 3 #12322 | 1 0 1 21 | 8 2 8 34 4 #12322 | 1 0 1 17 | 10 2 11 33 5 #12322 | 0 0 1 12 | 8 3 8 25 6 #12322 | 1 0 1 14 | 16 3 11 35 7 #12322 | 0 0 1 14 | 9 2 8 29 8 #12322 | 1 0 1 22 | 9 3 9 34 9 #12322 | 0 0 1 14 | 8 2 8 24 10 #12322 | 1 0 0 12 | 9 3 8 24 11 #12322 | 0 0 0 15 | 6 2 7 29 12 #12321 | 1 0 0 13 | 5 3 8 23 13 #12319 | 0 0 1 14 | 9 3 9 26 14 #12321 | 1 0 0 13 | 6 2 8 24 15 #12321 | 1 0 1 15 | 12 3 11 27 16 #12318 | 0 0 1 13 | 7 3 10 24 17 #12319 | 0 0 1 13 | 11 3 9 25 18 #12318 | 0 0 0 12 | 8 2 8 20 19 #12319 | 0 0 1 18 | 10 2 9 28 20 #12317 | 0 0 0 20 | 9 3 8 34 21 #12318 | 0 0 0 13 | 8 3 8 28 22 #12319 | 0 0 1 11 | 8 3 10 22 23 #12320 | 28 0 1 28 | 41 3 11 41 rtla timerlat hit stop tracing ## CPU 23 hit stop tracing, analyzing it ## IRQ handler delay: 27.49 us (65.52 %) IRQ latency: 28.13 us Timerlat IRQ duration: 9.59 us (22.85 %) Blocking thread: 3.79 us (9.03 %) objtool:49256 3.79 us Blocking thread stacktrace -> timerlat_irq -> __hrtimer_run_queues -> hrtimer_interrupt -> __sysvec_apic_timer_interrupt -> sysvec_apic_timer_interrupt -> asm_sysvec_apic_timer_interrupt -> _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore -> cgroup_rstat_flush_locked -> cgroup_rstat_flush_irqsafe -> mem_cgroup_flush_stats -> mem_cgroup_wb_stats -> balance_dirty_pages -> balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited_flags -> btrfs_buffered_write -> btrfs_do_write_iter -> vfs_write -> __x64_sys_pwrite64 -> do_syscall_64 -> entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thread latency: 41.96 us (100%) The system has exit from idle latency!

The timerlat tracer outputs information in two ways. It periodically prints the timer latency at the timer IRQ handler and the Thread handler. It also provides information for each noise via the osnoise tracepoints. The rtla timerlat top mode displays a summary of the periodic output from the timerlat tracer. Here is one example of the rtla timerlat tool output: ---------- %< ---------- [root@alien ~]# rtla timerlat top -c 0-3 -d 1m Timer Latency 0 00:01:00 | IRQ Timer Latency (us) | Thread Timer Latency (us) CPU COUNT | cur min avg max | cur min avg max 0 #60001 | 0 0 0 3 | 1 1 1 6 1 #60001 | 0 0 0 3 | 2 1 1 5 2 #60001 | 0 0 1 6 | 1 1 2 7 3 #60001 | 0 0 0 7 | 1 1 1 11 ---------- >% ---------- Running: # rtla timerlat --help # rtla timerlat top --help provides information about the available options.

rtla/timerlat: Add auto-analysis support to timerlat top Currently, timerlat top displays the timerlat tracer latency results, saving the intuitive timerlat trace for the developer to analyze. This patch goes a step forward in the automaton of the scheduling latency analysis by providing a summary of the root cause of a latency higher than the passed "stop tracing" parameter if the trace stops. The output is intuitive enough for non-expert users to have a general idea of the root cause by looking at each factor's contribution percentage while keeping the technical detail in the output for more expert users to start an in dept debug or to correlate a root cause with an existing one. The terminology is in line with recent industry and academic publications to facilitate the understanding of both audiences. Here is one example of tool output: ----------------------------------------- %< ----------------------------------------------------- # taskset -c 0 timerlat -a 40 -c 1-23 -q Timer Latency 0 00:00:12 | IRQ Timer Latency (us) | Thread Timer Latency (us) CPU COUNT | cur min avg max | cur min avg max 1 #12322 | 0 0 1 15 | 10 3 9 31 2 #12322 | 3 0 1 12 | 10 3 9 23 3 #12322 | 1 0 1 21 | 8 2 8 34 4 #12322 | 1 0 1 17 | 10 2 11 33 5 #12322 | 0 0 1 12 | 8 3 8 25 6 #12322 | 1 0 1 14 | 16 3 11 35 7 #12322 | 0 0 1 14 | 9 2 8 29 8 #12322 | 1 0 1 22 | 9 3 9 34 9 #12322 | 0 0 1 14 | 8 2 8 24 10 #12322 | 1 0 0 12 | 9 3 8 24 11 #12322 | 0 0 0 15 | 6 2 7 29 12 #12321 | 1 0 0 13 | 5 3 8 23 13 #12319 | 0 0 1 14 | 9 3 9 26 14 #12321 | 1 0 0 13 | 6 2 8 24 15 #12321 | 1 0 1 15 | 12 3 11 27 16 #12318 | 0 0 1 13 | 7 3 10 24 17 #12319 | 0 0 1 13 | 11 3 9 25 18 #12318 | 0 0 0 12 | 8 2 8 20 19 #12319 | 0 0 1 18 | 10 2 9 28 20 #12317 | 0 0 0 20 | 9 3 8 34 21 #12318 | 0 0 0 13 | 8 3 8 28 22 #12319 | 0 0 1 11 | 8 3 10 22 23 #12320 | 28 0 1 28 | 41 3 11 41 rtla timerlat hit stop tracing ## CPU 23 hit stop tracing, analyzing it ## IRQ handler delay: 27.49 us (65.52 %) IRQ latency: 28.13 us Timerlat IRQ duration: 9.59 us (22.85 %) Blocking thread: 3.79 us (9.03 %) objtool:49256 3.79 us Blocking thread stacktrace -> timerlat_irq -> __hrtimer_run_queues -> hrtimer_interrupt -> __sysvec_apic_timer_interrupt -> sysvec_apic_timer_interrupt -> asm_sysvec_apic_timer_interrupt -> _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore -> cgroup_rstat_flush_locked -> cgroup_rstat_flush_irqsafe -> mem_cgroup_flush_stats -> mem_cgroup_wb_stats -> balance_dirty_pages -> balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited_flags -> btrfs_buffered_write -> btrfs_do_write_iter -> vfs_write -> __x64_sys_pwrite64 -> do_syscall_64 -> entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thread latency: 41.96 us (100%) The system has exit from idle latency!

rtla/timerlat: Add auto-analysis support to timerlat top Currently, timerlat top displays the timerlat tracer latency results, saving the intuitive timerlat trace for the developer to analyze. This patch goes a step forward in the automaton of the scheduling latency analysis by providing a summary of the root cause of a latency higher than the passed "stop tracing" parameter if the trace stops. The output is intuitive enough for non-expert users to have a general idea of the root cause by looking at each factor's contribution percentage while keeping the technical detail in the output for more expert users to start an in dept debug or to correlate a root cause with an existing one. The terminology is in line with recent industry and academic publications to facilitate the understanding of both audiences. Here is one example of tool output: ----------------------------------------- %< ----------------------------------------------------- # taskset -c 0 timerlat -a 40 -c 1-23 -q Timer Latency 0 00:00:12 | IRQ Timer Latency (us) | Thread Timer Latency (us) CPU COUNT | cur min avg max | cur min avg max 1 #12322 | 0 0 1 15 | 10 3 9 31 2 #12322 | 3 0 1 12 | 10 3 9 23 3 #12322 | 1 0 1 21 | 8 2 8 34 4 #12322 | 1 0 1 17 | 10 2 11 33 5 #12322 | 0 0 1 12 | 8 3 8 25 6 #12322 | 1 0 1 14 | 16 3 11 35 7 #12322 | 0 0 1 14 | 9 2 8 29 8 #12322 | 1 0 1 22 | 9 3 9 34 9 #12322 | 0 0 1 14 | 8 2 8 24 10 #12322 | 1 0 0 12 | 9 3 8 24 11 #12322 | 0 0 0 15 | 6 2 7 29 12 #12321 | 1 0 0 13 | 5 3 8 23 13 #12319 | 0 0 1 14 | 9 3 9 26 14 #12321 | 1 0 0 13 | 6 2 8 24 15 #12321 | 1 0 1 15 | 12 3 11 27 16 #12318 | 0 0 1 13 | 7 3 10 24 17 #12319 | 0 0 1 13 | 11 3 9 25 18 #12318 | 0 0 0 12 | 8 2 8 20 19 #12319 | 0 0 1 18 | 10 2 9 28 20 #12317 | 0 0 0 20 | 9 3 8 34 21 #12318 | 0 0 0 13 | 8 3 8 28 22 #12319 | 0 0 1 11 | 8 3 10 22 23 #12320 | 28 0 1 28 | 41 3 11 41 rtla timerlat hit stop tracing ## CPU 23 hit stop tracing, analyzing it ## IRQ handler delay: 27.49 us (65.52 %) IRQ latency: 28.13 us Timerlat IRQ duration: 9.59 us (22.85 %) Blocking thread: 3.79 us (9.03 %) objtool:49256 3.79 us Blocking thread stacktrace -> timerlat_irq -> __hrtimer_run_queues -> hrtimer_interrupt -> __sysvec_apic_timer_interrupt -> sysvec_apic_timer_interrupt -> asm_sysvec_apic_timer_interrupt -> _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore -> cgroup_rstat_flush_locked -> cgroup_rstat_flush_irqsafe -> mem_cgroup_flush_stats -> mem_cgroup_wb_stats -> balance_dirty_pages -> balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited_flags -> btrfs_buffered_write -> btrfs_do_write_iter -> vfs_write -> __x64_sys_pwrite64 -> do_syscall_64 -> entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thread latency: 41.96 us (100%) The system has exit from idle latency!

rtla/timerlat: Add auto-analysis support to timerlat top Currently, timerlat top displays the timerlat tracer latency results, saving the intuitive timerlat trace for the developer to analyze. This patch goes a step forward in the automaton of the scheduling latency analysis by providing a summary of the root cause of a latency higher than the passed "stop tracing" parameter if the trace stops.

rtla/timerlat: Add auto-analysis support to timerlat top Currently, timerlat top displays the timerlat tracer latency results, saving the intuitive timerlat trace for the developer to analyze. This patch goes a step forward in the automaton of the scheduling latency analysis by providing a summary of the root cause of a latency higher than the passed "stop tracing" parameter if the trace stops. The output is intuitive enough for non-expert users to have a general idea of the root cause by looking at each factor's contribution percentage while keeping the technical detail in the output for more expert users to start an in dept debug or to correlate a root cause with an existing one.
