If we enable trace events to trace block actions, We use
blk_fill_rwbs_rq to analyze the corresponding actions
in request's cmd_flags, but we only choose the minor 2 bits
from it, so most of other flags(e.g, REQ_SYNC) are missing.
For example, with a sync write we get:
write_test-2409 [001] 160.013869: block_rq_insert: 3,64 W 0 () 258135 + =
8 [write_test]
Since now we have integrated the flags of both bio and request,
it is safe to pass rq->cmd_flags directly to blk_fill_rwbs and
blk_fill_rwbs_rq isn't needed any more.
With this patch, after a sync write we get:
write_test-2417 [000] 226.603878: block_rq_insert: 3,64 WS 0 () 258135 +=
8 [write_test]

Currently the trace_event structures are placed in the _ftrace_events
section, and at link time, the linker makes one large array of all
the trace_event structures. On boot up, this array is read (much like
the initcall sections) and the events are processed.
The problem is that there is no guarantee that gcc will place complex
structures nicely together in an array format. Two structures in the
same file may be placed awkwardly, because gcc has no clue that they
are suppose to be in an array.
A hack was used previous to force the alignment to 4, to pack the
structures together. But this caused alignment issues with other
architectures (sparc).
Instead of packing the structures into an array, the structures' addresses
are now put into the _ftrace_event section. As pointers are always the
natural alignment, gcc should always pack them tightly together
(otherwise initcall, extable, etc would also fail).
By having the pointers to the structures in the section, we can still
iterate the trace_events without causing unnecessary alignment problems
with other architectures, or depending on the current behaviour of
gcc that will likely change in the future just to tick us kernel developers
off a little more.
The _ftrace_event section is also moved into the .init.data section
as it is now only needed at boot up.

The commit:
9f987b3141f086de27832514aad9f50a53f754
tracing: Include module.h in define_trace.h
only solved half the problem. If the trace/events/module.h header is
included at the time of define_trace.h (or in ftrace.h within it),
the module.h TRACE_SYSTEM will override the current TRACE_SYSTEM
macro.
Since define_trace.h is included when CREATE_TRACE_POINTS is set,
and the first thing it does is to #undef CREATE_TRACE_POINTS,
by placing the module.h TRACE_SYSTEM inside a
#ifdef CREATE_TRACE_POINTS
we can prevent it from overriding the TRACE_SYSTEM that is
being processed, and still process the module.h tracepoints
when the module code defines CREATE_TRACE_POINTS and includes
the trace/events/module.h header.
As with commit 9f987b3141, this is only an issue if module.h
is not included before the trace/events/<event>.h file is
included, which (luckily) has not happened yet.

With compaction being used instead of lumpy reclaim, the name lumpy_mode
and associated variables is a bit misleading. Rename lumpy_mode to
reclaim_mode which is a better fit. There is no functional change.

Currently lumpy_mode is an enum and determines if lumpy reclaim is off,
syncronous or asyncronous. In preparation for using compaction instead of
lumpy reclaim, this patch converts the flags into a bitmap.

In preparation for a patches promoting the use of memory compaction over
lumpy reclaim, this patch adds trace points for memory compaction
activity. Using them, we can monitor the scanning activity of the
migration and free page scanners as well as the number and success rates
of pages passed to page migration.

As jack detection can trigger DAPM and the latency in debouncing can create
confusing windows in operation provide some trace events which will hopefully
help in diagnostics. The soc-jack core traces all reports that it gets and
the resulting notifications to upper layers. An event for jack IRQs is also
provided for instrumentation of debounce, and used in the GPIO jack code.

Trace events for DAPM allow us to monitor the performance and behaviour
of DAPM with logging which can be built into the kernel permanantly, is
more suited to automated analysis and display and less likely to suffer
interference from other logging activity.
Currently trace events are generated for:
- Start and stop of DAPM processing
- Start and stop of bias level changes
- Power decisions for widgets
- Widget event execution start and stop
giving some view as to what is happening and where latencies occur.
Actual changes in widget power can be seen via the register write trace in
soc-core.

The trace subsystem provides a convenient way of instrumenting the kernel
which can be left on all the time with extremely low impact on the system
unlike prints to the kernel log which can be very spammy. Begin adding
support for instrumenting ASoC via this interface by adding trace for the
register access primitives.

Provide some basic trace facilities to the regulator API. We generate
events on regulator enable, disable and voltage setting over the actual
hardware operations (which are assumed to be the expensive ones which
require interaction with the actual device). This is intended to facilitate
debug of the performance and behaviour with consumers allowing unified
traces to be generated including the regulator operations within the
context of the other components of the system.
For enable we log the explicit delay for the voltage ramp separately to
the interaction with the hardware to highlight the time consumed in I/O.
We should add a similar delay for voltage changes, though there the
relatively small magnitude of the changes in the context of the I/O
costs makes it much less critical for most regulators.
Only hardware interactions are currently traced as the primary focus is
on the performance and synchronisation of actual hardware interactions.
Additional tracepoints for debugging of the logical operations can be
added later if required.

Send async page fault to a PV guest if it accesses swapped out memory.
Guest will choose another task to run upon receiving the fault.
Allow async page fault injection only when guest is in user mode since
otherwise guest may be in non-sleepable context and will not be able
to reschedule.
Vcpu will be halted if guest will fault on the same page again or if
vcpu executes kernel code.

If a guest accesses swapped out memory do not swap it in from vcpu thread
context. Schedule work to do swapping and put vcpu into halted state
instead.
Interrupts will still be delivered to the guest and if interrupt will
cause reschedule guest will continue to run another task.

The check for NULL skb in the kfree_skb trace event is a duplicate from the
check already done in its only caller, kfree_skb(). Remove this duplicate check.

While doing some developing, Peter Zijlstra and I have found
that if a CREATE_TRACE_POINTS include is done before module.h
is included, it can break the build.
We have been lucky so far that this has not broke the build
since module.h is included in almost everything.

Add these new power trace events:
power:cpu_idle
power:cpu_frequency
power:machine_suspend
The old C-state/idle accounting events:
power:power_start
power:power_end
Have now a replacement (but we are still keeping the old
tracepoints for compatibility):
power:cpu_idle
and
power:power_frequency
is replaced with:
power:cpu_frequency
power:machine_suspend is newly introduced.
Jean Pihet has a patch integrated into the generic layer
(kernel/power/suspend.c) which will make use of it.
the type= field got removed from both, it was never
used and the type is differed by the event type itself.
perf timechart userspace tool gets adjusted in a separate patch.

There are instances in the kernel that we only want to trace
a tracepoint when a certain condition is set. But we do not
want to test for that condition in the core kernel.
If we test for that condition before calling the tracepoin, then
we will be performing that test even when tracing is not enabled.
This is 99.99% of the time.
We currently can just filter out on that condition, but that happens
after we write to the trace buffer. We just wasted time writing to
the ring buffer for an event we never cared about.
This patch adds:
TRACE_EVENT_CONDITION() and DEFINE_EVENT_CONDITION()
These have a new TP_CONDITION() argument that comes right after
the TP_ARGS(). This condition can use the parameters of TP_ARGS()
in the TRACE_EVENT() to determine if the tracepoint should be traced
or not. The TP_CONDITION() will be placed in a if (cond) trace;
For example, for the tracepoint sched_wakeup, it is useless to
trace a wakeup event where the caller never actually wakes
anything up (where success == 0). So adding:
TP_CONDITION(success),
which uses the "success" parameter of the wakeup tracepoint
will have it only trace when we have successfully woken up a
task.

Currently we have in something like the sched_switch event:
field:char prev_comm[TASK_COMM_LEN]; offset:12; size:16; signed:1;
When a userspace tool such as perf tries to parse this, the
TASK_COMM_LEN is meaningless. This is done because the TRACE_EVENT() macro
simply uses a #len to show the string of the length. When the length is
an enum, we get a string that means nothing for tools.
By adding a static buffer and a mutex to protect it, we can store the
string into that buffer with snprintf and show the actual number.
Now we get:
field:char prev_comm[16]; offset:12; size:16; signed:1;
Something much more useful.

This introduces the new TRACE_EVENT_FLAGS() macro in order
to set up initial event flags value.
This macro must simply follow the definition of a trace event
and take the event name and the flag value as parameters:
TRACE_EVENT(my_event, .....
....
);
TRACE_EVENT_FLAGS(my_event, 1)
This will set up 1 as the initial my_event->flags value.

Many tracepoints were populating an ext4_allocation_context
to pass in, but this requires a slab allocation even when
tracepoints are off. In fact, 4 of 5 of these allocations
were only for tracing. In addition, we were only using a
small fraction of the 144 bytes of this structure for this
purpose.
We can do away with all these alloc/frees of the ac and
simply pass in the bits we care about, instead.
I tested this by turning on tracing and running through
xfstests on x86_64. I did not actually do anything with
the trace output, however.

Our QA reported an oops in the ext4_mb_release_group_pa tracing,
and Josef Bacik pointed out that it was because we may have a
non-null but uninitialized ac_inode in the allocation context.
I can reproduce it when running xfstests with ext4 tracepoints on,
on a CONFIG_SLAB_DEBUG kernel.
We call trace_ext4_mb_release_group_pa from 2 places,
ext4_mb_discard_group_preallocations and
ext4_mb_discard_lg_preallocations
In both cases we allocate an ac as a container just for tracing (!)
and never fill in the ac_inode. There's no reason to be assigning,
testing, or printing it as far as I can see, so just remove it from
the tracepoint.

With the addition of trace_softirq_raise() the softirq tracepoint got
even more convoluted. Why the tracepoints take two pointers to assign
an integer is beyond my comprehension.
But adding an extra case which treats the first pointer as an unsigned
long when the second pointer is NULL including the back and forth
type casting is just horrible.
Convert the softirq tracepoints to take a single unsigned int argument
for the softirq vector number and fix the call sites.

BDIs or if significant congestion is not being encountered in the current zone
If congestion_wait() is called with no BDI congested, the caller will
sleep for the full timeout and this may be an unnecessary sleep. This
patch adds a wait_iff_congested() that checks congestion and only sleeps
if a BDI is congested else, it calls cond_resched() to ensure the caller
is not hogging the CPU longer than its quota but otherwise will not sleep.
This is aimed at reducing some of the major desktop stalls reported during
IO. For example, while kswapd is operating, it calls congestion_wait()
but it could just have been reclaiming clean page cache pages with no
congestion. Without this patch, it would sleep for a full timeout but
after this patch, it'll just call schedule() if it has been on the CPU too
long. Similar logic applies to direct reclaimers that are not making
enough progress.

shrink_page_list() can decide to give up reclaiming a page under a
number of conditions such as
1. trylock_page() failure
2. page is unevictable
3. zone reclaim and page is mapped
4. PageWriteback() is true
5. page is swapbacked and swap is full
6. add_to_swap() failure
7. page is dirty and gfpmask don't have GFP_IO, GFP_FS
8. page is pinned
9. IO queue is congested
10. pageout() start IO, but not finished
With lumpy reclaim, failures result in entering synchronous lumpy reclaim
but this can be unnecessary. In cases (2), (3), (5), (6), (7) and (8),
there is no point retrying. This patch causes lumpy reclaim to abort when
it is known it will fail.
Case (9) is more interesting. current behavior is,
1. start shrink_page_list(async)
2. found queue_congested()
3. skip pageout write
4. still start shrink_page_list(sync)
5. wait on a lot of pages
6. again, found queue_congested()
7. give up pageout write again
So, it's useless time wasting. However, just skipping page reclaim is
also notgood as x86 allocating a huge page needs 512 pages for example.
It can have more dirty pages than queue congestion threshold (~=128).
After this patch, pageout() behaves as follows;
- If order > PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER
Ignore queue congestion always.
- If order <= PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER
skip write page and disable lumpy reclaim.

There is strong evidence to indicate a lot of time is being spent in
congestion_wait(), some of it unnecessarily. This patch adds a tracepoint
for congestion_wait to record when congestion_wait() was called, how long
the timeout was for and how long it actually slept.

There have been numerous reports of stalls that pointed at the problem
being somewhere in the VM. There are multiple roots to the problems which
means dealing with any of the root problems in isolation is tricky to
justify on their own and they would still need integration testing. This
patch series puts together two different patch sets which in combination
should tackle some of the root causes of latency problems being reported.
Patch 1 adds a tracepoint for shrink_inactive_list. For this series, the
most important results is being able to calculate the scanning/reclaim
ratio as a measure of the amount of work being done by page reclaim.
Patch 2 accounts for time spent in congestion_wait.
Patches 3-6 were originally developed by Kosaki Motohiro but reworked for
this series. It has been noted that lumpy reclaim is far too aggressive
and trashes the system somewhat. As SLUB uses high-order allocations, a
large cost incurred by lumpy reclaim will be noticeable. It was also
reported during transparent hugepage support testing that lumpy reclaim
was trashing the system and these patches should mitigate that problem
without disabling lumpy reclaim.
Patch 7 adds wait_iff_congested() and replaces some callers of
congestion_wait(). wait_iff_congested() only sleeps if there is a BDI
that is currently congested. Patch 8 notes that any BDI being congested
is not necessarily a problem because there could be multiple BDIs of
varying speeds and numberous zones. It attempts to track when a zone
being reclaimed contains many pages backed by a congested BDI and if so,
reclaimers wait on the congestion queue.
I ran a number of tests with monitoring on X86, X86-64 and PPC64. Each
machine had 3G of RAM and the CPUs were
X86: Intel P4 2-core
X86-64: AMD Phenom 4-core
PPC64: PPC970MP
Each used a single disk and the onboard IO controller. Dirty ratio was
left at 20. I'm just going to report for X86-64 and PPC64 in a vague
attempt to keep this report short. Four kernels were tested each based on
v2.6.36-rc4
traceonly-v2r2: Patches 1 and 2 to instrument vmscan reclaims and congestion_wait
lowlumpy-v2r3: Patches 1-6 to test if lumpy reclaim is better
waitcongest-v2r3: Patches 1-7 to only wait on congestion
waitwriteback-v2r4: Patches 1-8 to detect when a zone is congested
nocongest-v1r5: Patches 1-3 for testing wait_iff_congestion
nodirect-v1r5: Patches 1-10 to disable filesystem writeback for better IO
The tests run were as follows
kernbench
compile-based benchmark. Smoke test performance
sysbench
OLTP read-only benchmark. Will be re-run in the future as read-write
micro-mapped-file-stream
This is a micro-benchmark from Johannes Weiner that accesses a
large sparse-file through mmap(). It was configured to run in only
single-CPU mode but can be indicative of how well page reclaim
identifies suitable pages.
stress-highalloc
Tries to allocate huge pages under heavy load.
kernbench, iozone and sysbench did not report any performance regression
on any machine. sysbench did pressure the system lightly and there was
reclaim activity but there were no difference of major interest between
the kernels.

These are based on the raw figures taken from /proc/vmstat. It's a rough
measure of reclaim activity. Note that allocstall counts are higher
because we are entering direct reclaim more often as a result of not
sleeping in congestion. In itself, it's not necessarily a bad thing.
It's easier to get a view of what happened from the vmscan tracepoint
report.

What is interesting here for nocongest in particular is that while direct
reclaim scans more pages, the overall number of pages scanned remains the
same and the ratio of pages scanned to pages reclaimed is more or less the
same. In other words, while we are sleeping less, reclaim is not doing
more work and as direct reclaim and kswapd is awake for less time, it
would appear to be doing less work.

Overall, the tests completed faster. It is interesting to note that backing off further
when a zone is congested and not just a BDI was more efficient overall.

Again, a similar trend that the congestion_wait changes mean that direct
reclaim scans more pages but the overall number of pages scanned while
slightly reduced, are very similar. The ratio of scanning/reclaimed
remains roughly similar. The downside is that kswapd and direct reclaim
was awake longer and for a larger percentage of the overall workload.
It's possible there were big differences in the amount of time spent
reclaiming slab pages between the different kernels which is plausible
considering that the micro tests runs after fsmark and sysbench.

Scanned/reclaimed ratios again look good with big improvements in
efficiency. The Scanned/written ratios also look much improved. With a
better scanned/written ration, there is an expectation that IO would be
more efficient and indeed, the time spent in direct reclaim is much
reduced by the full series and kswapd spends a little less time awake.
Overall, indications here are that allocations were happening much faster
and this can be seen with a graph of the latency figures as the
allocations were taking place

Overall, the time spent speeping is reduced. kswapd is still hitting
congestion_wait() but that is because there are callers remaining where it
wasn't clear in advance if they should be changed to wait_iff_congested()
or not. Overall the sleep imes are reduced though - from 79ish seconds to
about 19.

Success rates there are *way* up particularly considering that the 16MB
huge pages on PPC64 mean that it's always much harder to allocate them.

While the scanning rates are slightly up, the scanned/reclaimed and
scanned/written figures are much improved. The time spent in direct
reclaim and with kswapd are massively reduced, mostly by the lowlumpy
patches.

Not as dramatic a story here but the time spent asleep is reduced and we
can still see what wait_iff_congested is going to sleep when necessary.

The time to complete this test goes way down. With the full series, we
are allocating over twice the number of huge pages in 30% of the time and
there is a corresponding impact on the allocation latency graph available
at.

This patch:
Add a trace event for shrink_inactive_list() and updates the sample
postprocessing script appropriately. It can be used to determine how many
pages were reclaimed and for non-lumpy reclaim where exactly the pages
were reclaimed from.

This removes more dead code that was somehow missed by commit 0d99519efef
(writeback: remove unused nonblocking and congestion checks). There are
no behavior change except for the removal of two entries from one of the
ext4 tracing interface.
The nonblocking checks in ->writepages are no longer used because the
flusher now prefer to block on get_request_wait() than to skip inodes on
IO congestion. The latter will lead to more seeky IO.
The nonblocking checks in ->writepage are no longer used because it's
redundant with the WB_SYNC_NONE check.
We no long set ->nonblocking in VM page out and page migration, because
a) it's effectively redundant with WB_SYNC_NONE in current code
b) it's old semantic of "Don't get stuck on request queues" is mis-behavior:
that would skip some dirty inodes on congestion and page out others, which
is unfair in terms of LRU age.

These two tracepoints allow tracking when and how a work is queued and
activated. This patch is based on Frederic's patch to add queue_work
trace point.

Define workqueue_work event class and use it for workqueue_execute_end
trace point. Also, move trace/events/workqueue.h include downwards
such that all struct definitions are visible to it. This is to
prepare for more tracepoints and doesn't cause any functional change.
