Histogram triggers are special event triggers that can be used to
|
|
|
|
aggregate trace event data into histograms. For information on

2. Histogram Trigger Command
|
|
|
|
============================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A histogram trigger command is an event trigger command that
|
|
|
|
aggregates event hits into a hash table keyed on one or more trace
|
|
|
|
event format fields (or stacktrace) and a set of running totals
|
|
|
|
derived from one or more trace event format fields and/or event
|
|
|
|
counts (hitcount).
|
|
|
|
|
2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00
|
|
|
The format of a hist trigger is as follows::
|
2018-01-16 05:51:35 +03:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
hist:keys=<field1[,field2,...]>[:values=<field1[,field2,...]>]
|
|
|
|
[:sort=<field1[,field2,...]>][:size=#entries][:pause][:continue]
|
2019-02-14 02:42:42 +03:00
|
|
|
[:clear][:name=histname1][:<handler>.<action>] [if <filter>]
|
2018-01-16 05:51:35 +03:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When a matching event is hit, an entry is added to a hash table
|
|
|
|
using the key(s) and value(s) named. Keys and values correspond to
|
|
|
|
fields in the event's format description. Values must correspond to
|
|
|
|
numeric fields - on an event hit, the value(s) will be added to a
|
|
|
|
sum kept for that field. The special string 'hitcount' can be used
|
|
|
|
in place of an explicit value field - this is simply a count of
|
|
|
|
event hits. If 'values' isn't specified, an implicit 'hitcount'
|
|
|
|
value will be automatically created and used as the only value.
|
|
|
|
Keys can be any field, or the special string 'stacktrace', which
|
|
|
|
will use the event's kernel stacktrace as the key. The keywords
|
|
|
|
'keys' or 'key' can be used to specify keys, and the keywords
|
|
|
|
'values', 'vals', or 'val' can be used to specify values. Compound
|
|
|
|
keys consisting of up to two fields can be specified by the 'keys'
|
|
|
|
keyword. Hashing a compound key produces a unique entry in the
|
|
|
|
table for each unique combination of component keys, and can be
|
|
|
|
useful for providing more fine-grained summaries of event data.
|
|
|
|
Additionally, sort keys consisting of up to two fields can be
|
|
|
|
specified by the 'sort' keyword. If more than one field is
|
|
|
|
specified, the result will be a 'sort within a sort': the first key
|
|
|
|
is taken to be the primary sort key and the second the secondary
|
|
|
|
key. If a hist trigger is given a name using the 'name' parameter,
|
|
|
|
its histogram data will be shared with other triggers of the same
|
|
|
|
name, and trigger hits will update this common data. Only triggers
|
|
|
|
with 'compatible' fields can be combined in this way; triggers are
|
|
|
|
'compatible' if the fields named in the trigger share the same
|
|
|
|
number and type of fields and those fields also have the same names.
|
|
|
|
Note that any two events always share the compatible 'hitcount' and
|
|
|
|
'stacktrace' fields and can therefore be combined using those
|
|
|
|
fields, however pointless that may be.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'hist' triggers add a 'hist' file to each event's subdirectory.
|
|
|
|
Reading the 'hist' file for the event will dump the hash table in
|
|
|
|
its entirety to stdout. If there are multiple hist triggers
|
|
|
|
attached to an event, there will be a table for each trigger in the
|
|
|
|
output. The table displayed for a named trigger will be the same as
|
|
|
|
any other instance having the same name. Each printed hash table
|
|
|
|
entry is a simple list of the keys and values comprising the entry;
|
|
|
|
keys are printed first and are delineated by curly braces, and are
|
|
|
|
followed by the set of value fields for the entry. By default,
|
|
|
|
numeric fields are displayed as base-10 integers. This can be
|
|
|
|
modified by appending any of the following modifiers to the field
|
|
|
|
name:
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that in general the semantics of a given field aren't
|
|
|
|
interpreted when applying a modifier to it, but there are some
|
|
|
|
restrictions to be aware of in this regard:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- only the 'hex' modifier can be used for values (because values
|
|
|
|
are essentially sums, and the other modifiers don't make sense
|
|
|
|
in that context).
|
|
|
|
- the 'execname' modifier can only be used on a 'common_pid'. The
|
|
|
|
reason for this is that the execname is simply the 'comm' value
|
|
|
|
saved for the 'current' process when an event was triggered,
|
|
|
|
which is the same as the common_pid value saved by the event
|
|
|
|
tracing code. Trying to apply that comm value to other pid
|
|
|
|
values wouldn't be correct, and typically events that care save
|
|
|
|
pid-specific comm fields in the event itself.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A typical usage scenario would be the following to enable a hist
|
2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00
|
|
|
trigger, read its current contents, and then turn it off::
|
2018-01-16 05:51:35 +03:00
|
|
|
|
2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00
|
|
|
# echo 'hist:keys=skbaddr.hex:vals=len' > \
|

|
|
|
|
2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00
|
|
|
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_rx/hist
|
2018-01-16 05:51:35 +03:00

|
2018-01-16 05:51:35 +03:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The trigger file itself can be read to show the details of the
|
|
|
|
currently attached hist trigger. This information is also displayed
|
|
|
|
at the top of the 'hist' file when read.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
By default, the size of the hash table is 2048 entries. The 'size'
|
|
|
|
parameter can be used to specify more or fewer than that. The units
|
|
|
|
are in terms of hashtable entries - if a run uses more entries than
|
|
|
|
specified, the results will show the number of 'drops', the number
|
|
|
|
of hits that were ignored. The size should be a power of 2 between
|
|
|
|
128 and 131072 (any non- power-of-2 number specified will be rounded
|
|
|
|
up).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The 'sort' parameter can be used to specify a value field to sort
|
|
|
|
on. The default if unspecified is 'hitcount' and the default sort
|
|
|
|
order is 'ascending'. To sort in the opposite direction, append
|
|
|
|
.descending' to the sort key.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The 'pause' parameter can be used to pause an existing hist trigger
|
|
|
|
or to start a hist trigger but not log any events until told to do
|
|
|
|
so. 'continue' or 'cont' can be used to start or restart a paused
|
|
|
|
hist trigger.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The 'clear' parameter will clear the contents of a running hist
|
|
|
|
trigger and leave its current paused/active state.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that the 'pause', 'cont', and 'clear' parameters should be
|
|
|
|
applied using 'append' shell operator ('>>') if applied to an
|
|
|
|
existing trigger, rather than via the '>' operator, which will cause
|
|
|
|
the trigger to be removed through truncation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- enable_hist/disable_hist
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The enable_hist and disable_hist triggers can be used to have one
|
|
|
|
event conditionally start and stop another event's already-attached
|
|
|
|
hist trigger. Any number of enable_hist and disable_hist triggers
|
|
|
|
can be attached to a given event, allowing that event to kick off
|
|
|
|
and stop aggregations on a host of other events.
|
|
|
|
|
2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00
|
|
|
The format is very similar to the enable/disable_event triggers::
|
2018-01-16 05:51:35 +03:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
enable_hist:<system>:<event>[:count]
|
|
|
|
disable_hist:<system>:<event>[:count]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Instead of enabling or disabling the tracing of the target event
|
|
|
|
into the trace buffer as the enable/disable_event triggers do, the
|
|
|
|
enable/disable_hist triggers enable or disable the aggregation of
|
|
|
|
the target event into a hash table.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A typical usage scenario for the enable_hist/disable_hist triggers
|
|
|
|
would be to first set up a paused hist trigger on some event,
|
|
|
|
followed by an enable_hist/disable_hist pair that turns the hist
|
2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00
|
|
|
aggregation on and off when conditions of interest are hit::

|
|
|

|
|
|
The above sets up an initially paused hist trigger which is unpaused
|
|
|
|
and starts aggregating events when a given program is executed, and
|
|
|
|
which stops aggregating when the process exits and the hist trigger
|
|
|
|
is paused again.

|
|

The examples below provide a more concrete illustration of the
|
|
|

concepts and typical usage patterns discussed above.

'special' event fields
|
|
|
|
------------------------
|
2018-01-16 05:52:03 +03:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are a number of 'special event fields' available for use as
|
|
|
|
keys or values in a hist trigger. These look like and behave as if
|
|
|
|
they were actual event fields, but aren't really part of the event's
|
|
|
|
field definition or format file. They are however available for any
|
|
|
|
event, and can be used anywhere an actual event field could be.
|
|
|
|
They are:
|
|
|
|
|
2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00
|
|
|
====================== ==== =======================================
|
|
|
|
common_timestamp u64 timestamp (from ring buffer) associated
|
|
|
|
with the event, in nanoseconds. May be
|
|
|
|
modified by .usecs to have timestamps
|
|
|
|
interpreted as microseconds.

tracing/histogram: Rename "cpu" to "common_cpu"
Currently the histogram logic allows the user to write "cpu" in as an
event field, and it will record the CPU that the event happened on.
The problem with this is that there's a lot of events that have "cpu"
as a real field, and using "cpu" as the CPU it ran on, makes it
impossible to run histograms on the "cpu" field of events.
For example, if I want to have a histogram on the count of the
workqueue_queue_work event on its cpu field, running:
># echo 'hist:keys=cpu' > events/workqueue/workqueue_queue_work/trigger
Gives a misleading and wrong result.
Change the command to "common_cpu" as no event should have "common_*"
fields as that's a reserved name for fields used by all events. And
this makes sense here as common_cpu would be a field used by all events.
Now we can even do:
># echo 'hist:keys=common_cpu,cpu if cpu < 100' > events/workqueue/workqueue_queue_work/trigger
># cat events/workqueue/workqueue_queue_work/hist
# event histogram
#
# trigger info: hist:keys=common_cpu,cpu:vals=hitcount:sort=hitcount:size=2048 if cpu < 100 [active]
#
{ common_cpu: 0, cpu: 2 } hitcount: 1
{ common_cpu: 0, cpu: 4 } hitcount: 1
{ common_cpu: 7, cpu: 7 } hitcount: 1
{ common_cpu: 0, cpu: 7 } hitcount: 1
{ common_cpu: 0, cpu: 1 } hitcount: 1
{ common_cpu: 0, cpu: 6 } hitcount: 2
{ common_cpu: 0, cpu: 5 } hitcount: 2
{ common_cpu: 1, cpu: 1 } hitcount: 4
{ common_cpu: 6, cpu: 6 } hitcount: 4
{ common_cpu: 5, cpu: 5 } hitcount: 14
{ common_cpu: 4, cpu: 4 } hitcount: 26
{ common_cpu: 0, cpu: 0 } hitcount: 39
{ common_cpu: 2, cpu: 2 } hitcount: 184
Now for backward compatibility, I added a trick. If "cpu" is used, and
the field is not found, it will fall back to "common_cpu" and work as
it did before. This way, it will still work for old programs that use
"cpu" to get the actual CPU, but if the event has a "cpu" as a field, it
will get that event's "cpu" field, which is probably what it wants
anyway.
I updated the tracefs/README to include documentation about both the
common_timestamp and the common_cpu. This way, if that text is present in
the README, then an application can know that common_cpu is supported over
just plain "cpu".

6.2 'hist' trigger examples
|
|
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The first set of examples creates aggregations using the kmalloc
|
|
|
|
event. The fields that can be used for the hist trigger are listed
|
2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00
|
|
|
in the kmalloc event's format file::
|
2018-01-16 05:51:35 +03:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/format
|
|
|
|
name: kmalloc
|
|
|
|
ID: 374
|
|
|
|
format:
|
|
|
|
field:unsigned short common_type; offset:0; size:2; signed:0;
|
|
|
|
field:unsigned char common_flags; offset:2; size:1; signed:0;
|
|
|
|
field:unsigned char common_preempt_count; offset:3; size:1; signed:0;
|
|
|
|
field:int common_pid; offset:4; size:4; signed:1;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
field:unsigned long call_site; offset:8; size:8; signed:0;
|
|
|
|
field:const void * ptr; offset:16; size:8; signed:0;
|
|
|
|
field:size_t bytes_req; offset:24; size:8; signed:0;
|
|
|
|
field:size_t bytes_alloc; offset:32; size:8; signed:0;
|
|
|
|
field:gfp_t gfp_flags; offset:40; size:4; signed:0;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We'll start by creating a hist trigger that generates a simple table
|
|
|
|
that lists the total number of bytes requested for each function in
|
2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00
|
|
|
the kernel that made one or more calls to kmalloc::
|
2018-01-16 05:51:35 +03:00
|
|
|
|
2021-07-08 00:36:25 +03:00
|
|
|
# echo 'hist:key=call_site:val=bytes_req.buckets=32' > \
|
2018-01-16 05:51:35 +03:00
|
|
|
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/trigger
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This tells the tracing system to create a 'hist' trigger using the
|
|
|
|
call_site field of the kmalloc event as the key for the table, which
|
|
|
|
just means that each unique call_site address will have an entry
|
|
|
|
created for it in the table. The 'val=bytes_req' parameter tells
|
|
|
|
the hist trigger that for each unique entry (call_site) in the
|
|
|
|
table, it should keep a running total of the number of bytes
|
|
|
|
requested by that call_site.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We'll let it run for awhile and then dump the contents of the 'hist'
|
|

The output displays a line for each entry, beginning with the key
|
|
|
|
specified in the trigger, followed by the value(s) also specified in
|
|
|
|
the trigger. At the beginning of the output is a line that displays
|
|
|
|
the trigger info, which can also be displayed by reading the
|
2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00
|
|
|
'trigger' file::
|
2018-01-16 05:51:35 +03:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/trigger
|
|
|
|
hist:keys=call_site:vals=bytes_req:sort=hitcount:size=2048 [active]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
At the end of the output are a few lines that display the overall
|
|
|
|
totals for the run. The 'Hits' field shows the total number of
|
|
|
|
times the event trigger was hit, the 'Entries' field shows the total
|
|
|
|
number of used entries in the hash table, and the 'Dropped' field
|
|
|
|
shows the number of hits that were dropped because the number of
|
|
|
|
used entries for the run exceeded the maximum number of entries
|
|
|
|
allowed for the table (normally 0, but if not a hint that you may
|
|
|
|
want to increase the size of the table using the 'size' parameter).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Notice in the above output that there's an extra field, 'hitcount',
|
|
|
|
which wasn't specified in the trigger. Also notice that in the
|
|
|
|
trigger info output, there's a parameter, 'sort=hitcount', which
|
|
|
|
wasn't specified in the trigger either. The reason for that is that
|
|
|
|
every trigger implicitly keeps a count of the total number of hits
|
|
|
|
attributed to a given entry, called the 'hitcount'. That hitcount
|
|
|
|
information is explicitly displayed in the output, and in the
|
|
|
|
absence of a user-specified sort parameter, is used as the default
|
|
|
|
sort field.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The value 'hitcount' can be used in place of an explicit value in
|
|
|
|
the 'values' parameter if you don't really need to have any
|
|
|
|
particular field summed and are mainly interested in hit
|
|
|
|
frequencies.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To turn the hist trigger off, simply call up the trigger in the
|
2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00
|
|
|
command history and re-execute it with a '!' prepended::
|
2018-01-16 05:51:35 +03:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# echo '!hist:key=call_site:val=bytes_req' > \
|
|
|
|
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/trigger
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Finally, notice that the call_site as displayed in the output above
|
|
|
|
isn't really very useful. It's an address, but normally addresses
|
|
|
|
are displayed in hex. To have a numeric field displayed as a hex
|
2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00
|
|
|
value, simply append '.hex' to the field name in the trigger::
|
2018-01-16 05:51:35 +03:00
|
|
|
|
|
|

Even that's only marginally more useful - while hex values do look
|
|
|
|
more like addresses, what users are typically more interested in
|
|
|
|
when looking at text addresses are the corresponding symbols
|
|
|
|
instead. To have an address displayed as symbolic value instead,
|
|
|

simply append '.sym' or '.sym-offset' to the field name in the

Because the default sort key above is 'hitcount', the above shows a
|
|
|
|
the list of call_sites by increasing hitcount, so that at the bottom
|
|
|
|
we see the functions that made the most kmalloc calls during the
|
|
|
|
run. If instead we we wanted to see the top kmalloc callers in
|
|
|
|
terms of the number of bytes requested rather than the number of
|
|
|
|
calls, and we wanted the top caller to appear at the top, we can use
|
2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00
|
|
|
the 'sort' parameter, along with the 'descending' modifier::

We can also add multiple fields to the 'values' parameter. For

example, we might want to see the total number of bytes allocated

Finally, to finish off our kmalloc example, instead of simply having
|
|
|
|
the hist trigger display symbolic call_sites, we can have the hist
|
|
|
|
trigger additionally display the complete set of kernel stack traces
|
|
|
|
that led to each call_site. To do that, we simply use the special
|
2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00
|
|
|
value 'stacktrace' for the key parameter::
|
2018-01-16 05:51:35 +03:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# echo 'hist:keys=stacktrace:values=bytes_req,bytes_alloc:sort=bytes_alloc' > \
|
|
|
|
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/trigger
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The above trigger will use the kernel stack trace in effect when an
|
|
|
|
event is triggered as the key for the hash table. This allows the
|
|
|
|
enumeration of every kernel callpath that led up to a particular
|
|
|
|
event, along with a running total of any of the event fields for
|
|
|
|
that event. Here we tally bytes requested and bytes allocated for
|
|
|
|
every callpath in the system that led up to a kmalloc (in this case
|
2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00
|
|
|
every callpath to a kmalloc for a kernel compile)::

If you key a hist trigger on common_pid, in order for example to
|
|
|
|
gather and display sorted totals for each process, you can use the
|
|
|
|
special .execname modifier to display the executable names for the
|
|
|
|
processes in the table rather than raw pids. The example below
|
2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00
|
|
|
keeps a per-process sum of total bytes read::

Similarly, if you key a hist trigger on syscall id, for example to
|
|
|
|
gather and display a list of systemwide syscall hits, you can use
|
|
|
|
the special .syscall modifier to display the syscall names rather
|
|
|
|
than raw ids. The example below keeps a running total of syscall
|
2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00
|
|
|
counts for the system during the run::

The syscall counts above provide a rough overall picture of system
|
|
|
|
call activity on the system; we can see for example that the most
|
|
|
|
popular system call on this system was the 'sys_ioctl' system call.

2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00
|
|
|
We can use 'compound' keys to refine that number and provide some
|
|
|
|
further insight as to which processes exactly contribute to the
|
|
|
|
overall ioctl count.

The command below keeps a hitcount for every unique combination of
|
|
|
|
system call id and pid - the end result is essentially a table
|
|
|
|
that keeps a per-pid sum of system call hits. The results are
|
|
|
|
sorted using the system call id as the primary key, and the
|
|
|
|
hitcount sum as the secondary key::

The above list does give us a breakdown of the ioctl syscall by
|
|
|
|
pid, but it also gives us quite a bit more than that, which we
|
|
|
|
don't really care about at the moment. Since we know the syscall
|
|
|
|
id for sys_ioctl (16, displayed next to the sys_ioctl name), we
|
|
|
|
can use that to filter out all the other syscalls::

The above output shows that 'compiz' and 'Xorg' are far and away
|
|
|
|
the heaviest ioctl callers (which might lead to questions about
|
|
|
|
whether they really need to be making all those calls and to
|
|
|
|
possible avenues for further investigation.)

The compound key examples used a key and a sum value (hitcount) to
|
|
|
|
sort the output, but we can just as easily use two keys instead.
|
|
|
|
Here's an example where we use a compound key composed of the the
|
|
|
|
common_pid and size event fields. Sorting with pid as the primary
|
|
|
|
key and 'size' as the secondary key allows us to display an
|
|
|
|
ordered summary of the recvfrom sizes, with counts, received by
|
|
|
|
each process::

The above example also illustrates the fact that although a compound
|
|
|
|
key is treated as a single entity for hashing purposes, the sub-keys
|
|
|
|
it's composed of can be accessed independently.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The next example uses a string field as the hash key and
|
|
|
|
demonstrates how you can manually pause and continue a hist trigger.
|
|
|
|
In this example, we'll aggregate fork counts and don't expect a
|
|
|
|
large number of entries in the hash table, so we'll drop it to a
|
2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00
|
|
|
much smaller number, say 256::

|
|
|
the command that started the trigger. Notice that the trigger info

To manually continue having the trigger aggregate events, append
|
|
|
|
:cont instead. Notice that the trigger info displays as [active]
|
2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00

again, and the data has changed::

The previous example showed how to start and stop a hist trigger by
|
|
|
|
appending 'pause' and 'continue' to the hist trigger command. A
|
|
|
|
hist trigger can also be started in a paused state by initially
|
|
|
|
starting the trigger with ':pause' appended. This allows you to
|
|
|
|
start the trigger only when you're ready to start collecting data
|
|
|
|
and not before. For example, you could start the trigger in a
|
|
|
|
paused state, then unpause it and do something you want to measure,
|
|
|
|
then pause the trigger again when done.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Of course, doing this manually can be difficult and error-prone, but
|
|
|
|
it is possible to automatically start and stop a hist trigger based
|
|
|
|
on some condition, via the enable_hist and disable_hist triggers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For example, suppose we wanted to take a look at the relative
|
|
|
|
weights in terms of skb length for each callpath that leads to a
|
2019-05-21 15:30:00 +03:00
|
|
|
netif_receive_skb event when downloading a decent-sized file using
|
2018-01-16 05:51:35 +03:00
|
|
|
wget.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
First we set up an initially paused stacktrace trigger on the
|
2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00
|
|
|
netif_receive_skb event::
|
2018-01-16 05:51:35 +03:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# echo 'hist:key=stacktrace:vals=len:pause' > \
|
|
|
|
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_receive_skb/trigger
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Next, we set up an 'enable_hist' trigger on the sched_process_exec
|
|
|
|
event, with an 'if filename==/usr/bin/wget' filter. The effect of
|
|
|
|
this new trigger is that it will 'unpause' the hist trigger we just
|
|
|
|
set up on netif_receive_skb if and only if it sees a
|
|
|
|
sched_process_exec event with a filename of '/usr/bin/wget'. When
|
|
|
|
that happens, all netif_receive_skb events are aggregated into a
|
2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00
|
|
|
hash table keyed on stacktrace::
|
2018-01-16 05:51:35 +03:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# echo 'enable_hist:net:netif_receive_skb if filename==/usr/bin/wget' > \
|
|
|
|
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_process_exec/trigger
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The aggregation continues until the netif_receive_skb is paused
|
|
|
|
again, which is what the following disable_hist event does by
|
|
|
|
creating a similar setup on the sched_process_exit event, using the
|
2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00
|
|
|
filter 'comm==wget'::
|
2018-01-16 05:51:35 +03:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# echo 'disable_hist:net:netif_receive_skb if comm==wget' > \
|
|
|
|
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_process_exit/trigger
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Whenever a process exits and the comm field of the disable_hist
|
|
|
|
trigger filter matches 'comm==wget', the netif_receive_skb hist
|
|
|
|
trigger is disabled.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The overall effect is that netif_receive_skb events are aggregated
|
|
|
|
into the hash table for only the duration of the wget. Executing a
|
|
|
|
wget command and then listing the 'hist' file will display the
|
2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00
|
|
|
output generated by the wget command::

The above shows all the netif_receive_skb callpaths and their total
|
|
|
|
lengths for the duration of the wget command.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The 'clear' hist trigger param can be used to clear the hash table.
|
|
|
|
Suppose we wanted to try another run of the previous example but
|
|
|
|
this time also wanted to see the complete list of events that went
|
|
|
|
into the histogram. In order to avoid having to set everything up
|
2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00
|
|
|
again, we can just clear the histogram first::
|
2018-01-16 05:51:35 +03:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# echo 'hist:key=stacktrace:vals=len:clear' >> \
|
|
|
|
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_receive_skb/trigger
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Just to verify that it is in fact cleared, here's what we now see in
|
2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00
|
|
|
the hist file::
|
2018-01-16 05:51:35 +03:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_receive_skb/hist
|
|
|
|
# trigger info: hist:keys=stacktrace:vals=len:sort=hitcount:size=2048 [paused]

Since we want to see the detailed list of every netif_receive_skb
|
|
|
|
event occurring during the new run, which are in fact the same
|
|
|
|
events being aggregated into the hash table, we add some additional
|
|
|
|
'enable_event' events to the triggering sched_process_exec and
|
2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00
|
|
|
sched_process_exit events as such::
|
2018-01-16 05:51:35 +03:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# echo 'enable_event:net:netif_receive_skb if filename==/usr/bin/wget' > \
|
|
|
|
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_process_exec/trigger
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# echo 'disable_event:net:netif_receive_skb if comm==wget' > \
|
|
|
|
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_process_exit/trigger
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you read the trigger files for the sched_process_exec and
|
|
|
|
sched_process_exit triggers, you should see two triggers for each:
|
|
|
|
one enabling/disabling the hist aggregation and the other
|
2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00
|
|
|
enabling/disabling the logging of events::
|
2018-01-16 05:51:35 +03:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_process_exec/trigger
|
|
|
|
enable_event:net:netif_receive_skb:unlimited if filename==/usr/bin/wget
|
|
|
|
enable_hist:net:netif_receive_skb:unlimited if filename==/usr/bin/wget
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_process_exit/trigger
|
|
|
|
enable_event:net:netif_receive_skb:unlimited if comm==wget
|
|
|
|
disable_hist:net:netif_receive_skb:unlimited if comm==wget
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In other words, whenever either of the sched_process_exec or
|
|
|
|
sched_process_exit events is hit and matches 'wget', it enables or
|
|
|
|
disables both the histogram and the event log, and what you end up
|
|
|
|
with is a hash table and set of events just covering the specified
|
2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00
|
|
|
duration. Run the wget command again::
|
2018-01-16 05:51:35 +03:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ wget https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/patch-3.19.xz
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Displaying the 'hist' file should show something similar to what you
|
|
|
|
saw in the last run, but this time you should also see the
|
2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00
|
|
|
individual events in the trace file::
|
2018-01-16 05:51:35 +03:00

The following example demonstrates how multiple hist triggers can be
|
|
|
|
attached to a given event. This capability can be useful for
|
|
|
|
creating a set of different summaries derived from the same set of
|
|
|
|
events, or for comparing the effects of different filters, among
|
2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00
|
|
|
other things::
|
2018-01-16 05:51:35 +03:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# echo 'hist:keys=skbaddr.hex:vals=len if len < 0' >> \
|
|
|
|
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_receive_skb/trigger
|
|
|
|
# echo 'hist:keys=skbaddr.hex:vals=len if len > 4096' >> \
|
|
|
|
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_receive_skb/trigger
|
|
|
|
# echo 'hist:keys=skbaddr.hex:vals=len if len == 256' >> \
|
|
|
|
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_receive_skb/trigger
|
|
|
|
# echo 'hist:keys=skbaddr.hex:vals=len' >> \
|
|
|
|
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_receive_skb/trigger
|
|
|
|
# echo 'hist:keys=len:vals=common_preempt_count' >> \
|
|
|
|
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_receive_skb/trigger
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The above set of commands create four triggers differing only in
|
|
|
|
their filters, along with a completely different though fairly
|
|
|
|
nonsensical trigger. Note that in order to append multiple hist
|
|
|
|
triggers to the same file, you should use the '>>' operator to
|
|
|
|
append them ('>' will also add the new hist trigger, but will remove
|
|
|
|
any existing hist triggers beforehand).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Displaying the contents of the 'hist' file for the event shows the
|
2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00
|
|
|
contents of all five histograms::

Named triggers can be used to have triggers share a common set of
|
|
|
|
histogram data. This capability is mostly useful for combining the
|
|
|
|
output of events generated by tracepoints contained inside inline
|
|
|
|
functions, but names can be used in a hist trigger on any event.
|
|
|
|
For example, these two triggers when hit will update the same 'len'
|
2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00
|
|
|
field in the shared 'foo' histogram data::
|
2018-01-16 05:51:35 +03:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# echo 'hist:name=foo:keys=skbaddr.hex:vals=len' > \
|
|
|
|
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_receive_skb/trigger
|
|
|
|
# echo 'hist:name=foo:keys=skbaddr.hex:vals=len' > \
|
|
|
|
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_rx/trigger
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can see that they're updating common histogram data by reading
|
2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00
|
|
|
each event's hist files at the same time::
|
2018-01-16 05:51:35 +03:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_receive_skb/hist;
|

And here's an example that shows how to combine histogram data from
|
|
|
|
any two events even if they don't share any 'compatible' fields
|
|
|
|
other than 'hitcount' and 'stacktrace'. These commands create a
|
2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00
|
|
|
couple of triggers named 'bar' using those fields::
|
2018-01-16 05:51:35 +03:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# echo 'hist:name=bar:key=stacktrace:val=hitcount' > \
|
|
|
|
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_process_fork/trigger
|
|
|
|
# echo 'hist:name=bar:key=stacktrace:val=hitcount' > \
|
|
|
|
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_rx/trigger
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
And displaying the output of either shows some interesting if
|
2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00
|
|
|
somewhat confusing output::
|
2018-01-16 05:51:35 +03:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_process_fork/hist

2.2 Inter-event hist triggers
|
|
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Inter-event hist triggers are hist triggers that combine values from
|
|
|
|
one or more other events and create a histogram using that data. Data
|
|
|
|
from an inter-event histogram can in turn become the source for
|
|
|
|
further combined histograms, thus providing a chain of related
|
|
|
|
histograms, which is important for some applications.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The most important example of an inter-event quantity that can be used
|
|
|
|
in this manner is latency, which is simply a difference in timestamps
|
|
|
|
between two events. Although latency is the most important
|
|
|
|
inter-event quantity, note that because the support is completely
|
|
|
|
general across the trace event subsystem, any event field can be used
|
|
|
|
in an inter-event quantity.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
An example of a histogram that combines data from other histograms
|
|
|
|
into a useful chain would be a 'wakeupswitch latency' histogram that
|
|
|
|
combines a 'wakeup latency' histogram and a 'switch latency'
|
|
|
|
histogram.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Normally, a hist trigger specification consists of a (possibly
|
|
|
|
compound) key along with one or more numeric values, which are
|
|
|
|
continually updated sums associated with that key. A histogram
|
|
|
|
specification in this case consists of individual key and value
|
|
|
|
specifications that refer to trace event fields associated with a
|
|
|
|
single event type.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The inter-event hist trigger extension allows fields from multiple
|
|
|
|
events to be referenced and combined into a multi-event histogram
|
|
|
|
specification. In support of this overall goal, a few enabling
|
|
|
|
features have been added to the hist trigger support:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- In order to compute an inter-event quantity, a value from one
|
|
|
|
event needs to saved and then referenced from another event. This
|
|
|
|
requires the introduction of support for histogram 'variables'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The computation of inter-event quantities and their combination
|
|
|
|
require some minimal amount of support for applying simple
|
|
|
|
expressions to variables (+ and -).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- A histogram consisting of inter-event quantities isn't logically a
|
|
|
|
histogram on either event (so having the 'hist' file for either
|
|
|
|
event host the histogram output doesn't really make sense). To
|
|
|
|
address the idea that the histogram is associated with a
|
|
|
|
combination of events, support is added allowing the creation of
|
|
|
|
'synthetic' events that are events derived from other events.
|
|
|
|
These synthetic events are full-fledged events just like any other
|
|
|
|
and can be used as such, as for instance to create the
|
|
|
|
'combination' histograms mentioned previously.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- A set of 'actions' can be associated with histogram entries -
|
|
|
|
these can be used to generate the previously mentioned synthetic
|
|
|
|
events, but can also be used for other purposes, such as for
|
|
|
|
example saving context when a 'max' latency has been hit.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Trace events don't have a 'timestamp' associated with them, but
|
|
|
|
there is an implicit timestamp saved along with an event in the
|
|
|
|
underlying ftrace ring buffer. This timestamp is now exposed as a
|
|
|
|
a synthetic field named 'common_timestamp' which can be used in
|
|
|
|
histograms as if it were any other event field; it isn't an actual
|
|
|
|
field in the trace format but rather is a synthesized value that
|
|
|
|
nonetheless can be used as if it were an actual field. By default
|
|
|
|
it is in units of nanoseconds; appending '.usecs' to a
|
|
|
|
common_timestamp field changes the units to microseconds.
|
|
|
|
|
2018-01-16 05:52:08 +03:00
|
|
|
A note on inter-event timestamps: If common_timestamp is used in a
|
|
|
|
histogram, the trace buffer is automatically switched over to using
|
|
|
|
absolute timestamps and the "global" trace clock, in order to avoid
|
|
|
|
bogus timestamp differences with other clocks that aren't coherent
|
|
|
|
across CPUs. This can be overridden by specifying one of the other
|
|
|
|
trace clocks instead, using the "clock=XXX" hist trigger attribute,
|
|
|
|
where XXX is any of the clocks listed in the tracing/trace_clock
|
|
|
|
pseudo-file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
These features are described in more detail in the following sections.

2.2.1 Histogram Variables
|
|
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Variables are simply named locations used for saving and retrieving
|
|
|
|
values between matching events. A 'matching' event is defined as an
|
|
|
|
event that has a matching key - if a variable is saved for a histogram
|
|
|
|
entry corresponding to that key, any subsequent event with a matching
|
|
|
|
key can access that variable.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A variable's value is normally available to any subsequent event until
|
|
|
|
it is set to something else by a subsequent event. The one exception
|
|
|
|
to that rule is that any variable used in an expression is essentially
|
|
|
|
'read-once' - once it's used by an expression in a subsequent event,
|
|
|
|
it's reset to its 'unset' state, which means it can't be used again
|
|
|
|
unless it's set again. This ensures not only that an event doesn't
|
|
|
|
use an uninitialized variable in a calculation, but that that variable
|
|
|
|
is used only once and not for any unrelated subsequent match.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Either keys or values can be saved and retrieved in this way. This
|
|
|
|
creates a variable named 'ts0' for a histogram entry with the key
|
2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00
|
|
|
'next_pid'::
|
2018-01-16 05:52:06 +03:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:vals=$ts0:ts0=common_timestamp ... >> \
|
|
|
|
event/trigger
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The ts0 variable can be accessed by any subsequent event having the
|
|
|
|
same pid as 'next_pid'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Variable references are formed by prepending the variable name with
|
|
|
|
the '$' sign. Thus for example, the ts0 variable above would be
|
|
|
|
referenced as '$ts0' in expressions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Because 'vals=' is used, the common_timestamp variable value above
|
|
|
|
will also be summed as a normal histogram value would (though for a
|
|
|
|
timestamp it makes little sense).
|
|
|
|
|
2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00
|
|
|
The below shows that a key value can also be saved in the same way::
|
2018-01-16 05:52:06 +03:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# echo 'hist:timer_pid=common_pid:key=timer_pid ...' >> event/trigger
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If a variable isn't a key variable or prefixed with 'vals=', the
|
|
|
|
associated event field will be saved in a variable but won't be summed
|
2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00
|
|
|
as a value::
|
2018-01-16 05:52:06 +03:00
|
|
|
|
2018-06-15 01:48:59 +03:00
|
|
|
# echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:ts1=common_timestamp ...' >> event/trigger
|
2018-01-16 05:52:06 +03:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Multiple variables can be assigned at the same time. The below would
|
|
|
|
result in both ts0 and b being created as variables, with both
|
2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00
|
|
|
common_timestamp and field1 additionally being summed as values::
|
2018-01-16 05:52:06 +03:00
|
|
|
|
2018-06-15 01:48:59 +03:00
|
|
|
# echo 'hist:keys=pid:vals=$ts0,$b:ts0=common_timestamp,b=field1 ...' >> \
|
2018-01-16 05:52:06 +03:00
|
|
|
event/trigger
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that variable assignments can appear either preceding or
|
|
|
|
following their use. The command below behaves identically to the
|
2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00
|
|
|
command above::
|
2018-01-16 05:52:06 +03:00
|
|
|
|
2018-06-15 01:48:59 +03:00
|
|
|
# echo 'hist:keys=pid:ts0=common_timestamp,b=field1:vals=$ts0,$b ...' >> \
|
2018-01-16 05:52:06 +03:00
|
|
|
event/trigger
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Any number of variables not bound to a 'vals=' prefix can also be
|
|
|
|
assigned by simply separating them with colons. Below is the same
|
2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00
|
|
|
thing but without the values being summed in the histogram::
|
2018-01-16 05:52:06 +03:00
|
|
|
|
2018-06-15 01:48:59 +03:00
|
|
|
# echo 'hist:keys=pid:ts0=common_timestamp:b=field1 ...' >> event/trigger
|
2018-01-16 05:52:06 +03:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Variables set as above can be referenced and used in expressions on
|
|
|
|
another event.
|
|
|
|
|
2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00
|
|
|
For example, here's how a latency can be calculated::
|
2018-01-16 05:52:06 +03:00
|
|
|
|
2018-06-15 01:48:59 +03:00
|
|
|
# echo 'hist:keys=pid,prio:ts0=common_timestamp ...' >> event1/trigger
|
|
|
|
# echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:wakeup_lat=common_timestamp-$ts0 ...' >> event2/trigger
|
2018-01-16 05:52:06 +03:00
|
|
|
|
2018-10-13 04:30:57 +03:00
|
|
|
In the first line above, the event's timestamp is saved into the
|
2018-01-16 05:52:06 +03:00
|
|
|
variable ts0. In the next line, ts0 is subtracted from the second
|
|
|
|
event's timestamp to produce the latency, which is then assigned into
|
|
|
|
yet another variable, 'wakeup_lat'. The hist trigger below in turn
|
|
|
|
makes use of the wakeup_lat variable to compute a combined latency
|
2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00
|
|
|
using the same key and variable from yet another event::
|
2018-01-16 05:52:06 +03:00
|
|
|
|
2018-06-15 01:48:59 +03:00
|
|
|
# echo 'hist:key=pid:wakeupswitch_lat=$wakeup_lat+$switchtime_lat ...' >> event3/trigger
|
2018-01-16 05:52:06 +03:00
|
|
|
|
2021-10-25 23:08:40 +03:00
|
|
|
Expressions support the use of addition, subtraction, multiplication and
|
2021-10-28 20:05:48 +03:00
|
|
|
division operators (+-\*/).
|
2021-10-25 23:08:40 +03:00
|
|
|
|
2021-10-29 21:33:28 +03:00
|
|
|
Note if division by zero cannot be detected at parse time (i.e. the
|
|
|
|
divisor is not a constant), the result will be -1.
|
2021-10-25 23:08:40 +03:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Numeric constants can also be used directly in an expression::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:timestamp_secs=common_timestamp/1000000 ...' >> event/trigger
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
or assigned to a variable and referenced in a subsequent expression::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:us_per_sec=1000000 ...' >> event/trigger
|
|
|
|
# echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:timestamp_secs=common_timestamp/$us_per_sec ...' >> event/trigger
|

2.2.2 Synthetic Events
|
|
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Synthetic events are user-defined events generated from hist trigger
|
|
|
|
variables or fields associated with one or more other events. Their
|
|
|
|
purpose is to provide a mechanism for displaying data spanning
|
|
|
|
multiple events consistent with the existing and already familiar
|
|
|
|
usage for normal 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 types, which can be any valid field type,
|
|
|
|
separated by semicolons, to the tracing/synthetic_events file.
|
|
|
|
|
2020-10-05 01:14:06 +03:00
|
|
|
See synth_field_size() for available types.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If field_name contains [n], the field is considered to be a static array.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If field_names contains[] (no subscript), the field is considered to
|
|
|
|
be a dynamic array, which will only take as much space in the event as
|
|
|
|
is required to hold the array.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A string field can be specified using either the static notation:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
char name[32];
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Or the dynamic:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
char name[];
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The size limit for either is 256.
|
|
|
|
|
2018-01-16 05:52:06 +03:00
|
|
|
For instance, the following creates a new event named 'wakeup_latency'
|
|
|
|
with 3 fields: lat, pid, and prio. Each of those fields is simply a
|
2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00
|
|
|
variable reference to a variable on another event::
|
2018-01-16 05:52:06 +03:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# 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
|
2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00
|
|
|
defined synthetic events, in this case the event defined above::
|
2018-01-16 05:52:06 +03:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/synthetic_events
|
|
|
|
wakeup_latency u64 lat; pid_t pid; int prio
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
An existing synthetic event definition can be removed by prepending
|
2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00
|
|
|
the command that defined it with a '!'::
|
2018-01-16 05:52:06 +03:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# echo '!wakeup_latency u64 lat pid_t pid int prio' >> \
|
|
|
|
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/synthetic_events
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
At this point, there isn't yet an actual 'wakeup_latency' event
|
2018-10-13 04:30:57 +03:00
|
|
|
instantiated in the event subsystem - for this to happen, a 'hist
|
2018-01-16 05:52:06 +03:00
|
|
|
trigger action' needs to be instantiated and bound to actual fields
|
2018-06-15 01:48:59 +03:00
|
|
|
and variables defined on other events (see Section 2.2.3 below on
|
|
|
|
how that is done using hist trigger 'onmatch' action). Once that is
|
|
|
|
done, the 'wakeup_latency' synthetic event instance is created.
|
2018-01-16 05:52:06 +03:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The new event is created under the tracing/events/synthetic/ directory
|
2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00
|
|
|
and looks and behaves just like any other event::
|
2018-01-16 05:52:06 +03:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# ls /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/synthetic/wakeup_latency
|
|
|
|
enable filter format hist id trigger
|
|
|
|
|
2021-07-08 00:36:25 +03:00
|
|
|
A histogram can now be defined for the new synthetic event::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# echo 'hist:keys=pid,prio,lat.log2:sort=lat' >> \
|
|
|
|
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/synthetic/wakeup_latency/trigger
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The above shows the latency "lat" in a power of 2 grouping.
|
|
|
|
|
2018-01-16 05:52:06 +03:00
|
|
|
Like any other event, once a histogram is enabled for the event, the
|
|
|
|
output can be displayed by reading the event's 'hist' file.
|
|
|
|
|
2021-07-08 00:36:25 +03:00

The latency values can also be grouped linearly by a given size with

the ".buckets" modifier and specify a size (in this case groups of 10).

2.2.3 Hist trigger 'handlers' and 'actions'
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------------
|
2018-01-16 05:52:06 +03:00
|
|
|
|
2019-02-14 02:42:42 +03:00
|
|
|
A hist trigger 'action' is a function that's executed (in most cases
|
|
|
|
conditionally) whenever a histogram entry is added or updated.
|
2018-01-16 05:52:06 +03:00
|
|
|
|
2019-02-14 02:42:42 +03:00
|
|
|
When a histogram entry is added or updated, a hist trigger 'handler'
|
|
|
|
is what decides whether the corresponding action is actually invoked
|
|
|
|
or not.
|
2018-01-16 05:52:06 +03:00
|
|
|
|
2019-02-14 02:42:42 +03:00
|
|
|
Hist trigger handlers and actions are paired together in the general
|
|
|
|
form:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<handler>.<action>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To specify a handler.action pair for a given event, simply specify
|
|
|
|
that handler.action pair between colons in the hist trigger
|
|
|
|
specification.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In theory, any handler can be combined with any action, but in
|
|
|
|
practice, not every handler.action combination is currently supported;
|
|
|
|
if a given handler.action combination isn't supported, the hist
|
|
|
|
trigger will fail with -EINVAL;
|
|
|
|
|
2019-05-21 15:30:00 +03:00
|
|
|
The default 'handler.action' if none is explicitly specified is as it
|
2019-02-14 02:42:42 +03:00
|
|
|
always has been, to simply update the set of values associated with an
|
|
|
|
entry. Some applications, however, may want to perform additional
|
|
|
|
actions at that point, such as generate another event, or compare and
|
|
|
|
save a maximum.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The supported handlers and actions are listed below, and each is
|
|
|
|
described in more detail in the following paragraphs, in the context
|
|
|
|
of descriptions of some common and useful handler.action combinations.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The available handlers are:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- onmatch(matching.event) - invoke action on any addition or update
|
|
|
|
- onmax(var) - invoke action if var exceeds current max
|
2019-02-14 02:42:49 +03:00
|
|
|
- onchange(var) - invoke action if var changes
|
2019-02-14 02:42:42 +03:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The available actions are:
|
|
|
|
|
2019-02-14 02:42:50 +03:00
|
|
|
- trace(<synthetic_event_name>,param list) - generate synthetic event
|
2019-02-14 02:42:42 +03:00
|
|
|
- save(field,...) - save current event fields
|
2019-02-14 02:42:47 +03:00
|
|
|
- snapshot() - snapshot the trace buffer
|
2019-02-14 02:42:42 +03:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following commonly-used handler.action pairs are available:
|
2018-01-16 05:52:06 +03:00
|
|
|
|
2019-02-14 02:42:50 +03:00
|
|
|
- onmatch(matching.event).trace(<synthetic_event_name>,param list)
|
2018-01-16 05:52:06 +03:00
|
|
|
|
2019-02-14 02:42:50 +03:00
|
|
|
The 'onmatch(matching.event).trace(<synthetic_event_name>,param
|
|
|
|
list)' hist trigger action is invoked whenever an event matches
|
|
|
|
and the histogram entry would be added or updated. It causes the
|
|
|
|
named synthetic event to be generated with the values given in the
|
2018-01-16 05:52:06 +03:00
|
|
|
'param list'. The result is the generation of a synthetic event
|
|
|
|
that consists of the values contained in those variables at the
|
2019-02-14 02:42:50 +03:00
|
|
|
time the invoking event was hit. For example, if the synthetic
|
|
|
|
event name is 'wakeup_latency', a wakeup_latency event is
|
|
|
|
generated using onmatch(event).trace(wakeup_latency,arg1,arg2).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There is also an equivalent alternative form available for
|
|
|
|
generating synthetic events. In this form, the synthetic event
|
|
|
|
name is used as if it were a function name. For example, using
|
|
|
|
the 'wakeup_latency' synthetic event name again, the
|
|
|
|
wakeup_latency event would be generated by invoking it as if it
|
|
|
|
were a function call, with the event field values passed in as
|
|
|
|
arguments: onmatch(event).wakeup_latency(arg1,arg2). The syntax
|
|
|
|
for this form is:
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
onmatch(matching.event).<synthetic_event_name>(param list)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In either case, the 'param list' consists of one or more
|
|
|
|
parameters which may be either variables or fields defined on
|
|
|
|
either the 'matching.event' or the target event. The variables or
|
|
|
|
fields specified in the param list may be either fully-qualified
|
|
|
|
or unqualified. If a variable is specified as unqualified, it
|
|
|
|
must be unique between the two events. A field name used as a
|
|
|
|
param can be unqualified if it refers to the target event, but
|
|
|
|
must be fully qualified if it refers to the matching event. A
|
|
|
|
fully-qualified name is of the form 'system.event_name.$var_name'
|
|
|
|
or 'system.event_name.field'.
|
2018-01-16 05:52:06 +03:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The 'matching.event' specification is simply the fully qualified
|
|
|
|
event name of the event that matches the target event for the
|
2019-05-03 17:35:37 +03:00
|
|
|
onmatch() functionality, in the form 'system.event_name'. Histogram
|
|
|
|
keys of both events are compared to find if events match. In case
|
|
|
|
multiple histogram keys are used, they all must match in the specified
|
|
|
|
order.
|
2018-01-16 05:52:06 +03:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Finally, the number and type of variables/fields in the 'param
|
|
|
|
list' must match the number and types of the fields in the
|
|
|
|
synthetic event being generated.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As an example the below defines a simple synthetic event and uses
|
|
|
|
a variable defined on the sched_wakeup_new event as a parameter
|
|
|
|
when invoking the synthetic event. Here we define the synthetic
|
2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00
|
|
|
event::
|
2018-01-16 05:52:06 +03:00
|
|
|
|
2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following hist trigger both defines the missing testpid
|
|
|
|
variable and specifies an onmatch() action that generates a
|
|
|
|
wakeup_new_test synthetic event whenever a sched_wakeup_new event
|
|
|
|
occurs, which because of the 'if comm == "cyclictest"' filter only
|
2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00
|
|
|
happens when the executable is cyclictest::
|
2018-01-16 05:52:06 +03:00
|
|
|
|
2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00
|
|
|
# echo 'hist:keys=$testpid:testpid=pid:onmatch(sched.sched_wakeup_new).\
|
|
|
|
wakeup_new_test($testpid) if comm=="cyclictest"' >> \
|
|
|
|
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_wakeup_new/trigger
|
2018-01-16 05:52:06 +03:00
|
|
|
|
2019-02-14 02:42:50 +03:00
|
|
|
Or, equivalently, using the 'trace' keyword syntax:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# echo 'hist:keys=$testpid:testpid=pid:onmatch(sched.sched_wakeup_new).\
|
|
|
|
trace(wakeup_new_test,$testpid) if comm=="cyclictest"' >> \
|

/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_wakeup_new/trigger
|
|
|
|
|
2018-01-16 05:52:06 +03:00
|
|
|
Creating and displaying a histogram based on those events is now
|
|
|
|
just a matter of using the fields and new synthetic event in the
|
2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00
|
|
|
tracing/events/synthetic directory, as usual::
|
2018-01-16 05:52:06 +03:00
|
|
|
|
2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00
|
|
|
# echo 'hist:keys=pid:sort=pid' >> \
|
|
|
|
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/synthetic/wakeup_new_test/trigger
|
2018-01-16 05:52:06 +03:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Running 'cyclictest' should cause wakeup_new events to generate
|
|
|
|
wakeup_new_test synthetic events which should result in histogram
|
2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00
|
|
|
output in the wakeup_new_test event's hist file::
|
2018-01-16 05:52:06 +03:00
|
|
|
|
2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00
|
|
|
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/synthetic/wakeup_new_test/hist
|
2018-01-16 05:52:06 +03:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A more typical usage would be to use two events to calculate a
|
|
|
|
latency. The following example uses a set of hist triggers to
|
2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00
|
|
|
produce a 'wakeup_latency' histogram.
|
2018-01-16 05:52:06 +03:00
|
|
|
|
2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00
|
|
|
First, we define a 'wakeup_latency' synthetic event::
|
2018-01-16 05:52:06 +03:00
|
|
|
|
2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00
|
|
|
# echo 'wakeup_latency u64 lat; pid_t pid; int prio' >> \
|
|
|
|
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/synthetic_events
|
2018-01-16 05:52:06 +03:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Next, we specify that whenever we see a sched_waking event for a
|
2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00
|
|
|
cyclictest thread, save the timestamp in a 'ts0' variable::
|
2018-01-16 05:52:06 +03:00
|
|
|
|
2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00
|
|
|
# echo 'hist:keys=$saved_pid:saved_pid=pid:ts0=common_timestamp.usecs \
|
|
|
|
if comm=="cyclictest"' >> \
|
|
|
|
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_waking/trigger
|
2018-01-16 05:52:06 +03:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then, when the corresponding thread is actually scheduled onto the
|
2019-05-03 17:35:37 +03:00
|
|
|
CPU by a sched_switch event (saved_pid matches next_pid), calculate
|
|
|
|
the latency and use that along with another variable and an event field
|
|
|
|
to generate a wakeup_latency synthetic event::
|
2018-01-16 05:52:06 +03:00
|
|
|
|
2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00
|
|
|
# echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:wakeup_lat=common_timestamp.usecs-$ts0:\
|
|
|
|
onmatch(sched.sched_waking).wakeup_latency($wakeup_lat,\
|
|
|
|
$saved_pid,next_prio) if next_comm=="cyclictest"' >> \
|
|
|
|
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/trigger
|
2018-01-16 05:52:06 +03:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We also need to create a histogram on the wakeup_latency synthetic
|
2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00
|
|
|
event in order to aggregate the generated synthetic event data::
|
2018-01-16 05:52:06 +03:00
|
|
|
|
2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00
|
|
|
# echo 'hist:keys=pid,prio,lat:sort=pid,lat' >> \
|
|
|
|
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/synthetic/wakeup_latency/trigger
|
2018-01-16 05:52:06 +03:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Finally, once we've run cyclictest to actually generate some
|
|
|
|
events, we can see the output by looking at the wakeup_latency
|
2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00
|
|
|
synthetic event's hist file::
|
2018-01-16 05:52:06 +03:00
|
|
|
|
2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00
|
|
|
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/synthetic/wakeup_latency/hist
|
2018-01-16 05:52:06 +03:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- onmax(var).save(field,.. .)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The 'onmax(var).save(field,...)' hist trigger action is invoked
|
|
|
|
whenever the value of 'var' associated with a histogram entry
|
|
|
|
exceeds the current maximum contained in that variable.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The end result is that the trace event fields specified as the
|
|
|
|
onmax.save() params will be saved if 'var' exceeds the current
|
|
|
|
maximum for that hist trigger entry. This allows context from the
|
|
|
|
event that exhibited the new maximum to be saved for later
|
|
|
|
reference. When the histogram is displayed, additional fields
|
|
|
|
displaying the saved values will be printed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As an example the below defines a couple of hist triggers, one for
|
|
|
|
sched_waking and another for sched_switch, keyed on pid. Whenever
|
|
|
|
a sched_waking occurs, the timestamp is saved in the entry
|
|
|
|
corresponding to the current pid, and when the scheduler switches
|
|
|
|
back to that pid, the timestamp difference is calculated. If the
|
|
|
|
resulting latency, stored in wakeup_lat, exceeds the current
|
|
|
|
maximum latency, the values specified in the save() fields are
|
2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00
|
|
|
recorded::
|
2018-01-16 05:52:06 +03:00

- onmax(var).snapshot()
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The 'onmax(var).snapshot()' hist trigger action is invoked
|
|
|
|
whenever the value of 'var' associated with a histogram entry
|
|
|
|
exceeds the current maximum contained in that variable.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The end result is that a global snapshot of the trace buffer will
|
|
|
|
be saved in the tracing/snapshot file if 'var' exceeds the current
|
|
|
|
maximum for any hist trigger entry.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that in this case the maximum is a global maximum for the
|
|
|
|
current trace instance, which is the maximum across all buckets of
|
|
|
|
the histogram. The key of the specific trace event that caused
|
|
|
|
the global maximum and the global maximum itself are displayed,
|
|
|
|
along with a message stating that a snapshot has been taken and
|
|
|
|
where to find it. The user can use the key information displayed
|
|
|
|
to locate the corresponding bucket in the histogram for even more
|
|
|
|
detail.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As an example the below defines a couple of hist triggers, one for
|
|
|
|
sched_waking and another for sched_switch, keyed on pid. Whenever
|
|
|
|
a sched_waking event occurs, the timestamp is saved in the entry
|
|
|
|
corresponding to the current pid, and when the scheduler switches
|
|
|
|
back to that pid, the timestamp difference is calculated. If the
|
|
|
|
resulting latency, stored in wakeup_lat, exceeds the current
|
|
|
|
maximum latency, a snapshot is taken. As part of the setup, all
|
|
|
|
the scheduler events are also enabled, which are the events that
|
|
|
|
will show up in the snapshot when it is taken at some point:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/enable

When the histogram is displayed, for each bucket the max value
|
|
|
|
and the saved values corresponding to the max are displayed
|
|

|
following the rest of the fields.
|
|

In the above case, the event that triggered the global maximum has
|
|
|
|
the key with next_pid == 2103. If you look at the bucket that has
|
|
|
|
2103 as the key, you'll find the additional values save()'d along
|
|
|
|
with the local maximum for that bucket, which should be the same
|
|
|
|
as the global maximum (since that was the same value that
|
|
|
|
triggered the global snapshot).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
And finally, looking at the snapshot data should show at or near
|
|
|
|
the end the event that triggered the snapshot (in this case you
|
|
|
|
can verify the timestamps between the sched_waking and
|
|
|
|
sched_switch events, which should match the time displayed in the
|

global maximum)::

- onchange(var).save(field,.. .)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The 'onchange(var).save(field,...)' hist trigger action is invoked
|
|
|
|
whenever the value of 'var' associated with a histogram entry
|
|
|
|
changes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The end result is that the trace event fields specified as the
|
|
|
|
onchange.save() params will be saved if 'var' changes for that
|
|
|
|
hist trigger entry. This allows context from the event that
|
|
|
|
changed the value to be saved for later reference. When the
|
|
|
|
histogram is displayed, additional fields displaying the saved
|
|
|
|
values will be printed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- onchange(var).snapshot()
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The 'onchange(var).snapshot()' hist trigger action is invoked
|
|
|
|
whenever the value of 'var' associated with a histogram entry
|
|
|
|
changes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The end result is that a global snapshot of the trace buffer will
|
|
|
|
be saved in the tracing/snapshot file if 'var' changes for any
|
|
|
|
hist trigger entry.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that in this case the changed value is a global variable
|
2019-05-21 15:30:00 +03:00
|
|
|
associated with current trace instance. The key of the specific
|
2019-02-14 02:42:49 +03:00
|
|
|
trace event that caused the value to change and the global value
|
|
|
|
itself are displayed, along with a message stating that a snapshot
|
|
|
|
has been taken and where to find it. The user can use the key
|
|
|
|
information displayed to locate the corresponding bucket in the
|
|
|
|
histogram for even more detail.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As an example the below defines a hist trigger on the tcp_probe
|
|
|
|
event, keyed on dport. Whenever a tcp_probe event occurs, the
|
|
|
|
cwnd field is checked against the current value stored in the
|
|
|
|
$cwnd variable. If the value has changed, a snapshot is taken.
|
|
|
|
As part of the setup, all the scheduler and tcp events are also
|
|
|
|
enabled, which are the events that will show up in the snapshot
|
|
|
|
when it is taken at some point:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/enable
|
|
|
|
# echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/tcp/enable
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# echo 'hist:keys=dport:cwnd=snd_cwnd: \
|
|
|
|
onchange($cwnd).save(snd_wnd,srtt,rcv_wnd): \
|
|
|
|
onchange($cwnd).snapshot()' >> \
|
|
|
|
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/tcp/tcp_probe/trigger
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When the histogram is displayed, for each bucket the tracked value
|
|
|
|
and the saved values corresponding to that value are displayed
|
|
|
|
following the rest of the fields.
|
|
|
|
|
2019-05-21 15:30:00 +03:00
|
|
|
If a snapshot was taken, there is also a message indicating that,
|
2019-04-15 23:00:05 +03:00
|
|
|
along with the value and event that triggered the snapshot::
|
|

In the above case, the event that triggered the snapshot has the
|
|
|
|
key with dport == 80. If you look at the bucket that has 80 as
|
|
|
|
the key, you'll find the additional values save()'d along with the
|
|
|
|
changed value for that bucket, which should be the same as the
|
|
|
|
global changed value (since that was the same value that triggered
|
|
|
|
the global snapshot).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
And finally, looking at the snapshot data should show at or near
|
2019-04-15 23:00:05 +03:00
|
|
|
the end the event that triggered the snapshot::

3. User space creating a trigger
|
|
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Writing into /sys/kernel/tracing/trace_marker writes into the ftrace
|
|
|
|
ring buffer. This can also act like an event, by writing into the trigger
|
|
|
|
file located in /sys/kernel/tracing/events/ftrace/print/
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Modifying cyclictest to write into the trace_marker file before it sleeps
|
2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00
|
|
|
and after it wakes up, something like this::
|
2018-05-11 22:41:24 +03:00
|
|
|
|
2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00
|
|
|
static void traceputs(char *str)
|
|
|
|
{
|
2018-05-11 22:41:24 +03:00
|
|
|
/* tracemark_fd is the trace_marker file descriptor */
|
|
|
|
if (tracemark_fd < 0)
|
|
|
|
return;
|
|
|
|
/* write the tracemark message */
|
|
|
|
write(tracemark_fd, str, strlen(str));
|
2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00
|
|
|
}
|
2018-05-11 22:41:24 +03:00
|
|
|
|
2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00
|
|
|
And later add something like::
|
2018-05-11 22:41:24 +03:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
traceputs("start");
|
|
|
|
clock_nanosleep(...);
|
|
|
|
traceputs("end");
|
|
|
|
|
2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00
|
|
|
We can make a histogram from this::
|
2018-05-11 22:41:24 +03:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# cd /sys/kernel/tracing
|
|
|
|
# echo 'latency u64 lat' > synthetic_events
|
|
|
|
# echo 'hist:keys=common_pid:ts0=common_timestamp.usecs if buf == "start"' > events/ftrace/print/trigger
|
|
|
|
# echo 'hist:keys=common_pid:lat=common_timestamp.usecs-$ts0:onmatch(ftrace.print).latency($lat) if buf == "end"' >> events/ftrace/print/trigger
|
|
|
|
# echo 'hist:keys=lat,common_pid:sort=lat' > events/synthetic/latency/trigger
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The above created a synthetic event called "latency" and two histograms
|
|
|
|
against the trace_marker, one gets triggered when "start" is written into the
|
|
|
|
trace_marker file and the other when "end" is written. If the pids match, then
|
|
|
|
it will call the "latency" synthetic event with the calculated latency as its
|
|
|
|
parameter. Finally, a histogram is added to the latency synthetic event to
|
|
|
|
record the calculated latency along with the pid.
|
|
|
|
|
2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00
|
|
|
Now running cyclictest with::
|
2018-05-11 22:41:24 +03:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# ./cyclictest -p80 -d0 -i250 -n -a -t --tracemark -b 1000
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
-p80 : run threads at priority 80
|
|
|
|
-d0 : have all threads run at the same interval
|
|
|
|
-i250 : start the interval at 250 microseconds (all threads will do this)
|
|
|
|
-n : sleep with nanosleep
|
|
|
|
-a : affine all threads to a separate CPU
|
|
|
|
-t : one thread per available CPU
|
|
|
|
--tracemark : enable trace mark writing
|
|
|
|
-b 1000 : stop if any latency is greater than 1000 microseconds
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note, the -b 1000 is used just to make --tracemark available.
|
|
|
|
|
2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00
|
|
|
Then we can see the histogram created by this with::
|
2018-05-11 22:41:24 +03:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

Note, the writes are around the sleep, so ideally they will all be of 250
|
|
|
|
microseconds. If you are wondering how there are several that are under
|
|
|
|
250 microseconds, that is because the way cyclictest works, is if one
|
|
|
|
iteration comes in late, the next one will set the timer to wake up less that
|
|
|
|
250. That is, if an iteration came in 50 microseconds late, the next wake up
|
|
|
|
will be at 200 microseconds.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
But this could easily be done in userspace. To make this even more
|
|
|
|
interesting, we can mix the histogram between events that happened in the
|
2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00
|
|
|
kernel with trace_marker::
|
2018-05-11 22:41:24 +03:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# cd /sys/kernel/tracing
|
|
|
|
# echo 'latency u64 lat' > synthetic_events
|
|
|
|
# echo 'hist:keys=pid:ts0=common_timestamp.usecs' > events/sched/sched_waking/trigger
|
|
|
|
# echo 'hist:keys=common_pid:lat=common_timestamp.usecs-$ts0:onmatch(sched.sched_waking).latency($lat) if buf == "end"' > events/ftrace/print/trigger
|
|
|
|
# echo 'hist:keys=lat,common_pid:sort=lat' > events/synthetic/latency/trigger
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The difference this time is that instead of using the trace_marker to start
|
|
|
|
the latency, the sched_waking event is used, matching the common_pid for the
|
|
|
|
trace_marker write with the pid that is being woken by sched_waking.
|
|
|
|
|
2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00
|
|
|
After running cyclictest again with the same parameters, we now have::
|
2018-05-11 22:41:24 +03:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# cat events/synthetic/latency/hist
|
2018-06-26 12:49:11 +03:00
|
|
|
# event histogram
|
|
|
|
#
|
|
|

# trigger info: hist:keys=lat,common_pid:vals=hitcount:sort=lat:size=2048 [active]

This doesn't tell us any information about how late cyclictest may have
|
|
|
|
woken up, but it does show us a nice histogram of how long it took from
|
|
|
|
the time that cyclictest was woken to the time it made it into user space.
