[PATCH V9 0/9] osnoise: Support multiple instances (for RTLA)

[PATCH V9 0/9] osnoise: Support multiple instances (for RTLA)

[Daniel Bristot de Oliveira]

Currently, osnoise and timerlat run only on a single instance. To reduce
this limitation, this series adds support for parallel instances of the
same tracer. That is, it is possible to run two instances of osnoise
tracer with different trace configurations. For example, one for the
tracer output only and another for the tracer and a set of tracepoints.

This patchset is the kernel dependencies for RTLA. This patchset was
being sent along with RTLA [1], but we split the kernel and
user-space patch sets.

Steve, feel free to drop the last two if they break anything.

[1] RTLA: An interface for osnoise/timerlat tracers:
    https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/cover.1635284863.git.bristot@kernel.org/

Changes from v8:
  - rebase on top of linux-next
  - Make notify_new_max_latency static (kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com>)
Changes from v7:
  - Fix check for print_stack disabled
  - Fix thread/sofitrq filter when TIMERLAT ifdef is enabled
    Both fixes for the patches added in the v6.
Changes from v6:
  - Fix compilation problems for the case in which osnoise
    enabled, but timerlat disabled (Steven)
  - Remove ifdefs from inside functions (Steven)

Changes that happened while in the RTLA patchset:
  - Fix comment on start_per_cpu_kthreads() (Steven)
  - Fix msg log on patch 1
  - Add comments about the barrier need for trace_nmi_enter/exit
  - Fix RCU usage in osnoise_unregister_instance() (Steven/Paul)
  - Add lockdep checks in osnoise_unregister/unregister_instance()
    (Steven/Paul)
  - Improve the explanation about the multi instances support (Steven)

[PATCH V9 1/9] tracing/osnoise: Do not follow tracing_cpumask

[Daniel Bristot de Oliveira]

In preparation to support multiple instances, decouple the
osnoise/timelat workload from instance-specific tracing_cpumask.

Different instances can have conflicting cpumasks, making osnoise
workload management needlessly complex. Osnoise already has its
global cpumask.

I also thought about using the first instance mask, but the
"first" instance could be removed before the others.

This also fixes the problem that changing the tracing_mask was not
re-starting the trace.

[PATCH V9 2/9] tracing/osnoise: Improve comments about barrier need for NMI callbacks

[Daniel Bristot de Oliveira]

trace_osnoise_callback_enabled is used by ftrace_nmi_enter/exit()
to know when to call the NMI callback. The barrier is used to
avoid having callbacks enabled before the resetting date during
the start or to touch the values after stopping the tracer.

[PATCH V9 4/9] tracing/osnoise: Use start/stop_per_cpu_kthreads() on osnoise_cpus_write()

[Daniel Bristot de Oliveira]

When writing a new CPU mask via osnoise/cpus, if the tracer is running,
the workload is restarted to follow the new cpumask. The restart is
currently done using osnoise_workload_start/stop(), which disables the
workload *and* the instrumentation. However, disabling the
instrumentation is not necessary.

Calling start/stop_per_cpu_kthreads() is enough to apply the new
osnoise/cpus config.

[PATCH V9 5/9] tracing/osnoise: Support a list of trace_array *tr

[Daniel Bristot de Oliveira]

osnoise/timerlat were built to run a single instance, and for this,
a single variable is enough to store the current struct trace_array
*tr with information about the tracing instance. This is done via
the *osnoise_trace variable. A trace_array represents a trace instance.

In preparation to support multiple instances, replace the
*osnoise_trace variable with an RCU protected list of instances.

The operations that refer to an instance now propagate to all
elements of the list (all instances).

Also, replace the osnoise_busy variable with a check if the list
has elements (busy).

No functional change is expected with this patch, i.e., only one
instance is allowed yet.

[PATCH V9 7/9] tracing/osnoise: Allow multiple instances of the same tracer

[Daniel Bristot de Oliveira]

Currently, the user can start only one instance of timerlat/osnoise
tracers and the tracers cannot run in parallel.

As starting point to add more flexibility, let's allow the same tracer to
run on different trace instances. The workload will start when the first
trace_array (instance) is registered and stop when the last instance
is unregistered.

So, while this patch allows the same tracer to run in multiple
instances (e.g., two instances running osnoise), it still does not allow
instances of timerlat and osnoise in parallel (e.g., one timerlat and
osnoise). That is because the osnoise: events have different behavior
depending on which tracer is enabled (osnoise or timerlat). Enabling
the parallel usage of these two tracers is in my TODO list.
