* delayacct: track delays from IRQ/SOFTIRQYang Yang2023-04-181-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Delay accounting does not track the delay of IRQ/SOFTIRQ. While IRQ/SOFTIRQ could have obvious impact on some workloads productivity, such as when workloads are running on system which is busy handling network IRQ/SOFTIRQ. Get the delay of IRQ/SOFTIRQ could help users to reduce such delay. Such as setting interrupt affinity or task affinity, using kernel thread for NAPI etc. This is inspired by "sched/psi: Add PSI_IRQ to track IRQ/SOFTIRQ pressure"[1]. Also fix some code indent problems of older code. And update tools/accounting/getdelays.c: / # ./getdelays -p 156 -di print delayacct stats ON printing IO accounting PID 156 CPU count real total virtual total delay total delay average 15 15836008 16218149 275700790 18.380ms IO count delay total delay average 0 0 0.000ms SWAP count delay total delay average 0 0 0.000ms RECLAIM count delay total delay average 0 0 0.000ms THRASHING count delay total delay average 0 0 0.000ms COMPACT count delay total delay average 0 0 0.000ms WPCOPY count delay total delay average 36 7586118 0.211ms IRQ count delay total delay average 42 929161 0.022ms [1] commit 52b1364ba0b1("sched/psi: Add PSI_IRQ to track IRQ/SOFTIRQ pressure") Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/202304081728353557233@zte.com.cn Signed-off-by: Yang Yang <yang.yang29@zte.com.cn> Cc: Jiang Xuexin <jiang.xuexin@zte.com.cn> Cc: wangyong <wang.yong12@zte.com.cn> Cc: junhua huang <huang.junhua@zte.com.cn> Cc: Balbir Singh <bsingharora@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net> Cc: Juri Lelli <juri.lelli@redhat.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>
* delayacct: track delays from write-protect copyYang Yang2022-06-011-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Delay accounting does not track the delay of write-protect copy. When tasks trigger many write-protect copys(include COW and unsharing of anonymous pages[1]), it may spend a amount of time waiting for them. To get the delay of tasks in write-protect copy, could help users to evaluate the impact of using KSM or fork() or GUP.

* taskstats: version 12 with thread group and exe infoDr. Thomas Orgis2022-04-291-3/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The task exit struct needs some crucial information to be able to provide an enhanced version of process and thread accounting. This change provides: 1. ac_tgid in additon to ac_pid 2. thread group execution walltime in ac_tgetime 3. flag AGROUP in ac_flag to indicate the last task in a thread group / process 4. device ID and inode of task's /proc/self/exe in ac_exe_dev and ac_exe_inode 5. tools/accounting/procacct as demonstrator When a task exits, taskstats are reported to userspace including the task's pid and ppid, but without the id of the thread group this task is part of. Without the tgid, the stats of single tasks cannot be correlated to each other as a thread group (process). The taskstats documentation suggests that on process exit a data set consisting of accumulated stats for the whole group is produced. But such an additional set of stats is only produced for actually multithreaded processes, not groups that had only one thread, and also those stats only contain data about delay accounting and not the more basic information about CPU and memory resource usage. Adding the AGROUP flag to be set when the last task of a group exited enables determination of process end also for single-threaded processes. My applicaton basically does enhanced process accounting with summed cputime, biggest maxrss, tasks per process. The data is not available with the traditional BSD process accounting (which is not designed to be extensible) and the taskstats interface allows more efficient on-the-fly grouping and summing of the stats, anyway, without intermediate disk writes. Furthermore, I do carry statistics on which exact program binary is used how often with associated resources, getting a picture on how important which parts of a collection of installed scientific software in different versions are, and how well they put load on the machine. This is enabled by providing information on /proc/self/exe for each task. I assume the two 64-bit fields for device ID and inode are more appropriate than the possibly large resolved path to keep the data volume down. Add the tgid to the stats to complete task identification, the flag AGROUP to mark the last task of a group, the group wallclock time, and inode-based identification of the associated executable file. Add tools/accounting/procacct.c as a simplified fork of getdelays.c to demonstrate process and thread accounting.

* tsacct: add 64-bit btime fieldArnd Bergmann2019-12-181-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | As there is only a 32-bit ac_btime field in taskstat and we should handle dates after the overflow, add a new field with the same information but 64-bit width that can hold a full time64_t. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
* acct: stop using get_seconds()Arnd Bergmann2019-12-181-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In 'struct acct', 'struct acct_v3', and 'struct taskstats' we have a 32-bit 'ac_btime' field containing an absolute time value, which will overflow in year 2106. There are two possible ways to deal with it: a) let it overflow and have user space code deal with reconstructing the data based on the current time, or b) truncate the times based on the range of the u32 type. Neither of them solves the actual problem. Pick the second one to best document what the issue is, and have someone fix it in a future version. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
* delayacct: track delays from thrashing cache pagesJohannes Weiner2018-10-261-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Delay accounting already measures the time a task spends in direct reclaim and waiting for swapin, but in low memory situations tasks spend can spend a significant amount of their time waiting on thrashing page cache. This isn't tracked right now. To know the full impact of memory contention on an individual task, measure the delay when waiting for a recently evicted active cache page to read back into memory.

* License cleanup: add SPDX license identifier to uapi header files with a licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman2017-11-021-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Many user space API headers have licensing information, which is either incomplete, badly formatted or just a shorthand for referring to the license under which the file is supposed to be. This makes it hard for compliance tools to determine the correct license. Update these files with an SPDX license identifier. The identifier was chosen based on the license information in the file. GPL/LGPL licensed headers get the matching GPL/LGPL SPDX license identifier with the added 'WITH Linux-syscall-note' exception, which is the officially assigned exception identifier for the kernel syscall exception: NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work". This exception makes it possible to include GPL headers into non GPL code, without confusing license compliance tools. Headers which have either explicit dual licensing or are just licensed under a non GPL license are updated with the corresponding SPDX identifier and the GPLv2 with syscall exception identifier. The format is: ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR SPDX-ID-OF-OTHER-LICENSE) SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. The update does not remove existing license information as this has to be done on a case by case basis and the copyright holders might have to be consulted. This will happen in a separate step. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. See the previous patch in this series for the methodology of how this patch was researched.
