When the trace_pid_list was created, the default pid max was 32768. Creating a bitmask that can hold one bit for all 32768 took up 4096 (one page). Having a one page bitmask was not much of a problem, and that was used for mapping pids. But today, systems are bigger and can run more tasks, and now the default pid_max is usually set to 4194304. Which means to handle that many pids requires 524288 bytes. Worse yet, the pid_max can be set to 2^30 (1073741824 or 1G) which would take 134217728 (128M) of memory to store this array. Since the pid_list array is very sparsely populated, it is a huge waste of memory to store all possible bits for each pid when most will not be set. Instead, use a page table scheme to store the array, and allow this to handle up to 30 bit pids. The pid_mask will start out with 256 entries for the first 8 MSB bits. This will cost 1K for 32 bit architectures and 2K for 64 bit. Each of these will have a 256 array to store the next 8 bits of the pid (another 1 or 2K). These will hold an 2K byte bitmask (which will cover the LSB 14 bits or 16384 pids). When the trace_pid_list is allocated, it will have the 1/2K upper bits allocated, and then it will allocate a cache for the next upper chunks and the lower chunks (default 6 of each). Then when a bit is "set", these chunks will be pulled from the free list and added to the array. If the free list gets down to a lever (default 2), it will trigger an irqwork that will refill the cache back up. On clearing a bit, if the clear causes the bitmask to be zero, that chunk will then be placed back into the free cache for later use, keeping the need to allocate more down to a minimum.

/*
|
|
* In order to keep track of what pids to trace, a tree is created much
|
|
* like page tables are used. This creates a sparse bit map, where
|
|
* the tree is filled in when needed. A PID is at most 30 bits (see
|
|
* linux/thread.h), and is broken up into 3 sections based on the bit map
|
|
* of the bits. The 8 MSB is the "upper1" section. The next 8 MSB is the
|
|
* "upper2" section and the 14 LSB is the "lower" section.
|
|
*
|
|
* A trace_pid_list structure holds the "upper1" section, in an
|
|
* array of 256 pointers (1 or 2K in size) to "upper_chunk" unions, where
|
|
* each has an array of 256 pointers (1 or 2K in size) to the "lower_chunk"
|
|
* structures, where each has an array of size 2K bytes representing a bitmask
|
|
* of the 14 LSB of the PID (256 * 8 = 2048)
|
|
*
|
|
* When a trace_pid_list is allocated, it includes the 256 pointer array
|
|
* of the upper1 unions. Then a "cache" of upper and lower is allocated
|
|
* where these will be assigned as needed.
|
|
*
|
|
* When a bit is set in the pid_list bitmask, the pid to use has
|
|
* the 8 MSB masked, and this is used to index the array in the
|
|
* pid_list to find the next upper union. If the element is NULL,
|
|
* then one is retrieved from the upper_list cache. If none is
|
|
* available, then -ENOMEM is returned.
|
|
*
|
|
* The next 8 MSB is used to index into the "upper2" section. If this
|
|
* element is NULL, then it is retrieved from the lower_list cache.
|
|
* Again, if one is not available -ENOMEM is returned.
|
|
*
|
|
* Finally the 14 LSB of the PID is used to set the bit in the 16384
|
|
* bitmask (made up of 2K bytes).
|
|
*
|
|
* When the second upper section or the lower section has their last
|
|
* bit cleared, they are added back to the free list to be reused
|
|
* when needed.
