Get local CPU id

[Matwey V. Kornilov]

Hi,

I would like to somehow obtain local CPU core ID in the interrupt
handler function. I want to see how my interruptions are distributed
among different CPU cores under different conditions.

How should I do that?

I didn't remember off hand but looked into the scheduler code where this is common.  When I looked there the marco, smp_professor_id in the file include/linux/smp. h seems to be the best way to handle your task. The only concern and I am pretty certain it is, is if this marco is
able to work in interrupt context a.k.a it is guaranteed to  never sleep. You can either test this out and see if the system hangs or do more research into what functions and marcos work interrupt context. 
Hope this helps, 
Nick

To answer strictly your question, like Nick said, smp_processor_id()
will work fine.

However, you can do exactly what you want be reading /proc/interrupts,
that already provide the informations you are looking for.

Good point, 
I totally forgot about that file in the proc
directory. ? That was my fault.

Clarification:  /proc/interrupts will give userspace that information.
It is *not* recommended you try to read it from kernel space, much less
from an interrupt context... :)

Does that matter through as all Matwey is interested in getting are the load balancing  among multiple cores on a smp based system under various workloads . I wouldn't mind recommending to just read proc/interrupts expect for it only being refreshed every 3 seconds to my knowledge by default and therefore not valid for getting per second data. Also this file doesn't explain the kernel's decision  to put what work on which core on a smp capable system  during interrupt context , which may also interest Matwey too. 
Just my opinion,

You can use ftrace and such.

That only traces file related calls and not interrupts. I stand by either using the proc/interrupts file and updating the refresh rate to 1 second if possible. There may also debugging features that you may use for monitoring interrupts when setting  the kernel's compile options in the menu for debugging.  I am afraid I  don't remember the exact configurations to set through Matwey. Please don't let all the ideas scare you Marley as your question was rather valid and we are trying to answer with only the information given to us.  If can try to resend a more detailed question this would help a lot. Also thanks for helping through Anish and good idea but it doesn't  trace interrupts 
directly.

Hmmm, yes, it was a little too obvious in my mind :)

Thanks for the clarification!

The kernel decision is:
  - For SPIs, the default affinity is always on CPU0. That can be
    changed if someone calls irq_set_affinity.
  - For PPIs, the interrupt will be triggered on a particular
    processor, without any intervention of the kernel.

[Matwey V. Kornilov]

Many thanks for all answers. smp_processor_id() works just fine in
interrupt context.

Unfortunately /proc/interrupts is not what I was looking for. My idea
was to print a line to dmesg at every interrupt to have a timestamp like
the following:

[  926.440799] Enter intr at 0
[  926.441059] Exit intr at 0

Every interrupt? You might want to spend some time thinking about which interrupts you don't want to do the above printing for.

Jeff,
He can just limit the dmesg output by using console_limit I believe.

Won't fly.

Hint:

How high to you have to set that limit to get through boot?

What happens if the message is logged to a console?

I thought there was a way to limit messages to the console, however I don't remember the exact way. So yes you do have a valid point about rate limiting console messages.
