Subject: [PATCH v2 00/15] Introduce threaded trace streaming for basic perf record operation
Date: Wed, 21 Oct 2020 18:52:43 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1ec29ed6-0047-d22f-630b-a7f5ccee96b4@linux.intel.com> (raw)
Changes in v2:
- explicitly added credit tags to patches 6/15 and 15/15,
additionally to cites [1], [2]
- updated description of 3/15 to explicitly mention the reason
to open data directories in read access mode (e.g. for perf report)
- implemented fix for compilation error of 2/15
- explicitly elaborated on found issues to be resolved for
threaded AUX trace capture
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/810f3a69-0004-9dff-a911-b7ff97220ae0@linux.intel.com/
Patch set provides threaded trace streaming for base perf record
operation. Provided streaming mode (--threads) mitigates profiling
data losses and resolves scalability issues of serial and asynchronous
(--aio) trace streaming modes on multicore server systems. The patch
set is based on the prototype [1], [2] and the most closely relates
to mode 3) "mode that creates thread for every monitored memory map".
The threaded mode executes one-to-one mapping of trace streaming threads
to mapped data buffers and streaming into per-CPU trace files located
at data directory. The data buffers and threads are affined to NUMA
nodes and monitored CPUs according to system topology. --cpu option
can be used to specify exact CPUs to be monitored.
Basic analysis of data directories is provided for perf report mode.
Raw dump (-D) and aggregated reports are available for data directories,
still with no memory consumption optimizations. However data directories
collected with --compression-level option enabled can be analyzed with
little less memory because trace files are unmaped from tool process
memory after loading collected data.
Provided streaming mode is available with Zstd compression/decompression
(--compression-level) and handling of external commands (--control).
AUX area tracing, related and derived modes like --snapshot or
--aux-sample are not enabled. --switch-output, --switch-output-event,
--switch-max-files and --timestamp-filename options are not enabled.
Threaded trace streaming is not enabled for pipe mode. Initial intent
to enable AUX area tracing faced the need to define some optimal way
to store index data in data directory, thus left aside. --switch-output-*
and --timestamp-filename use cases are not clear for data directories.
Asynchronous(--aio) trace streaming and affinity (--affinity) modes
are mutually exclusive to threaded streaming mode.
See testing results and validation examples below.
