2011-09-27PM / Runtime: Introduce trace points for tracing rpm_* functionsMing Lei1-0/+99
This patch introduces 3 trace points to prepare for tracing rpm_idle/rpm_suspend/rpm_resume functions, so we can use these trace points to replace the current dev_dbg().

2011-09-26sched, tracing: Show PREEMPT_ACTIVE state in trace_sched_switchPeter Zijlstra1-4/+5
We had need to see the difference between scheduling a runnable task and a runnable task being involuntarily preempted. No app should rely on the old string output (the binary trace event record format is not changed).

2011-09-22ASoC: Add another DAPM stat for neighbour checksMark Brown1-2/+5
The number of times we look at a potentially connected neighbour is just as important as the number of times we actually recurse into looking at that neighbour so also collect that statistic. Signed-off-by: Mark Brown <[email protected]>
2011-09-21ASoC: Trace and collect statistics for DAPM graph walkingMark Brown1-0/+22
One of the longest standing areas for improvement in ASoC has been the DAPM algorithm - it repeats the same checks many times whenever it is run and makes no effort to limit the areas of the graph it checks meaning we do an awful lot of walks over the full graph. This has never mattered too much as the size of the graph has generally been small in relation to the size of the devices supported and the speed of CPUs but it is annoying. In preparation for work on improving this insert a trace point after the graph walk has been done. This gives us specific timing information for the walk, and in order to give quantifiable (non-benchmark) numbers also count every time we check a link or check the power for a widget and report those numbers. Substantial changes in the algorithm may require tweaks to the stats but they should be useful for simpler things. Signed-off-by: Mark Brown <[email protected]>

2011-08-11blktrace: add FLUSH/FUA supportNamhyung Kim1-9/+11
Add FLUSH/FUA support to blktrace. As FLUSH precedes WRITE and/or FUA follows WRITE, use the same 'F' flag for both cases and distinguish them by their (relative) position. The end results look like (other flags might be shown also): - WRITE: W - WRITE_FLUSH: FW - WRITE_FUA: WF - WRITE_FLUSH_FUA: FWF Note that we reuse TC_BARRIER due to lack of bit space of act_mask so that the older versions of blktrace tools will report flush requests as barriers from now on.

2011-08-08regmap: Add basic tracepointsMark Brown1-0/+112
Trace single register reads and writes, plus start/stop tracepoints for the actual I/O to see where we're spending time. This makes it easy to have always on logging without overwhelming the logs and also lets us take advantage of all the context and time information that the trace subsystem collects for us. We don't currently trace register values for bulk operations as this would add complexity and overhead parsing the cooked data that's being worked with. Signed-off-by: Mark Brown <[email protected]>

2011-07-09writeback: make writeback_control.nr_to_write straightWu Fengguang1-11/+28
Pass struct wb_writeback_work all the way down to writeback_sb_inodes(), and initialize the struct writeback_control there. struct writeback_control is basically designed to control writeback of a single file, but we keep abuse it for writing multiple files in writeback_sb_inodes() and its callers. It immediately clean things up, e.g. suddenly wbc.nr_to_write vs work->nr_pages starts to make sense, and instead of saving and restoring pages_skipped in writeback_sb_inodes it can always start with a clean zero value. It also makes a neat IO pattern change: large dirty files are now written in the full 4MB writeback chunk size, rather than whatever remained quota in wbc->nr_to_write.

2011-06-15vmscan: implement swap token priority agingKOSAKI Motohiro1-7/+13
While testing for memcg aware swap token, I observed a swap token was often grabbed an intermittent running process (eg init, auditd) and they never release a token. Why? Some processes (eg init, auditd, audispd) wake up when a process exiting. And swap token can be get first page-in process when a process exiting makes no swap token owner. Thus such above intermittent running process often get a token. And currently, swap token priority is only decreased at page fault path. Then, if the process sleep immediately after to grab swap token, the swap token priority never be decreased. That's obviously undesirable. This patch implement very poor (and lightweight) priority aging. It only be affect to the above corner case and doesn't change swap tendency workload performance (eg multi process qsbench load) Signed-off-by: KOSAKI Motohiro <[email protected]> Reviewed-by: Rik van Riel <[email protected]> Reviewed-by: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <[email protected]>

2011-06-14rcu: Use softirq to address performance regressionShaohua Li1-1/+2
Commit a26ac2455ffcf3(rcu: move TREE_RCU from softirq to kthread) introduced performance regression. In an AIM7 test, this commit degraded performance by about 40%. The commit runs rcu callbacks in a kthread instead of softirq. We observed high rate of context switch which is caused by this. Out test system has 64 CPUs and HZ is 1000, so we saw more than 64k context switch per second which is caused by RCU's per-CPU kthread. A trace showed that most of the time the RCU per-CPU kthread doesn't actually handle any callbacks, but instead just does a very small amount of work handling grace periods. This means that RCU's per-CPU kthreads are making the scheduler do quite a bit of work in order to allow a very small amount of RCU-related processing to be done. Alex Shi's analysis determined that this slowdown is due to lock contention within the scheduler. Unfortunately, as Peter Zijlstra points out, the scheduler's real-time semantics require global action, which means that this contention is inherent in real-time scheduling. (Yes, perhaps someone will come up with a workaround -- otherwise, -rt is not going to do well on large SMP systems -- but this patch will work around this issue in the meantime. And "the meantime" might well be forever.) This patch therefore re-introduces softirq processing to RCU, but only for core RCU work. RCU callbacks are still executed in kthread context, so that only a small amount of RCU work runs in softirq context in the common case. This should minimize ksoftirqd execution, allowing us to skip boosting of ksoftirqd for CONFIG_RCU_BOOST=y kernels.

2011-06-08writeback: trace event writeback_queue_ioWu Fengguang1-0/+25
Note that it adds a little overheads to account the moved/enqueued inodes from b_dirty to b_io. The "moved" accounting may be later used to limit the number of inodes that can be moved in one shot, in order to keep spinlock hold time under control. Signed-off-by: Wu Fengguang <[email protected]>
2011-06-08writeback: trace event writeback_single_inodeWu Fengguang1-0/+70
It is valuable to know how the dirty inodes are iterated and their IO size. "writeback_single_inode: bdi 8:0: ino=134246746 state=I_DIRTY_SYNC|I_SYNC age=414 index=0 to_write=1024 wrote=0" - "state" reflects inode->i_state at the end of writeback_single_inode() - "index" reflects mapping->writeback_index after the ->writepages() call - "to_write" is the wbc->nr_to_write at entrance of writeback_single_inode() - "wrote" is the number of pages actually written v2: add trace event writeback_single_inode_requeue as proposed by Dave.

2011-06-08writeback: remove .nonblocking and .encountered_congestionWu Fengguang1-4/+2
Remove two unused struct writeback_control fields: .encountered_congestion (completely unused) .nonblocking (never set, checked/showed in XFS,NFS/btrfs) The .for_background check in nfs_write_inode() is also removed btw, as .for_background implies WB_SYNC_NONE.
