[PATCH V7 00/14] RTLA: An interface for osnoise/timerlat tracers

[PATCH V7 00/14] RTLA: An interface for osnoise/timerlat tracers

[Daniel Bristot de Oliveira]

The rtla(1) is a meta-tool that includes a set of commands that
aims to analyze the real-time properties of Linux. But instead of
testing Linux as a black box, rtla leverages kernel tracing
capabilities to provide precise information about the properties
and root causes of unexpected results.

To start, it presents an interface to the osnoise and timerlat tracers.
In the future, it will also serve as home to the rtsl [1] and other
latency/noise tracers.

If you just want to run it, you can download the tarball here:
  - https://bristot.me/files/rtla/tarball/rtla-0.3.tar.bz2

To compile rtla on fedora you need:
  $ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/libs/libtrace/libtraceevent.git
  $ cd libtraceevent/
  $ make
  $ sudo make install
  $ cd ..
  $ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/libs/libtrace/libtracefs.git
  $ cd libtracefs/
  $ make
  $ sudo make install
  $ cd ..
  $ sudo dnf install python3-docutils procps-devel
  $ cd $rtla_src
  $ make
  $ sudo make install

The tracing option (-t) depends some kernel patches that are
available at [2].

This tool was be discussed at the RT-MC during LPC2021 [3]

[1] rtsl: https://github.com/bristot/rtsl/
[2] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/cover.1635533292.git.bristot@kernel.org/
[3] https://youtu.be/cZUzc0U1jJ4

Changes from v6:
  - Revisited osnoise option config functions
  - Properly handles offline CPUs
  - Some cleanups
  - Fixed an histogram allocation problem (Tao Zhou)
  - Revisited open()/read()/write() (Tao Zhou)
Changes from v5:
  - Fix retval check in save_trace_to_file() (Tao Zhou)
  - Fix goto logic in save_trace_to_file() (Tao Zhou)
  - Removed unused save_trace_pipe_to_file() function
  - Correctly handle an error on osnoise_set_* functions during
    "apply config" for all tools (Tao Zhou)
Changes from v3:
  - Add cross-compile support (Ahmed S. Darwish)
  - Move documentation to Documentation/tools/rtla (Jonathan Corbet)
  - Use .rst format for documentation (Jonathan Corbet)
  - Use include option from .rst to group common parts of the documentation
  - Makefile (main and doc) cleanups
Changes from v2:
  - Fix the miss conception of the "size" for kernel histograms (Steven/Tom)
  - Change the --skip-zeros to --with-zeros option as the former is better
    for humans (and the latter for computers to plot charts).
  - A lot of checkpatch fixes for the user-space part.
Changes from v1:
  - Fixes -t options on osnoise tracers (-t means --trace for all tools now)
  - Fixes --bucket-size references (not --bucket_size)

[PATCH V7 01/14] rtla: Real-Time Linux Analysis tool

[Daniel Bristot de Oliveira]

The rtla is a meta-tool that includes a set of commands that aims
to analyze the real-time properties of Linux. But instead of testing
Linux as a black box, rtla leverages kernel tracing capabilities to
provide precise information about the properties and root causes of
unexpected results.

rtla --help works and provide information about the available options.

This is just the "main" and the Makefile, no function yet.

[PATCH V7 02/14] rtla: Helper functions for rtla

[Daniel Bristot de Oliveira]

This is a set of utils and tracer helper functions. They are used by
rtla mostly to parse config, display data and some trace operations that
are not part of libtracefs (because they are only useful it for this
case).

[PATCH V7 03/14] rtla: Add osnoise tool

[Daniel Bristot de Oliveira]

The osnoise tool is the interface for the osnoise tracer. The osnoise
tool will have multiple "modes" with different outputs. At this point,
no mode is included.

The osnoise.c includes the osnoise_context abstraction. It serves to
read-save-change-restore the default values from tracing/osnoise/
directory. When the context is deleted, the default values are restored.

It also includes some other helper functions for managing osnoise
tracer sessions.

With these bits and pieces in place, we can start adding some
functionality to rtla.

[PATCH V7 04/14] rtla/osnoise: Add osnoise top mode

[Daniel Bristot de Oliveira]

The rtla osnoise tool is an interface for the osnoise tracer. The
osnoise tracer dispatches a kernel thread per-cpu. These threads read
the time in a loop while with preemption, softirqs and IRQs enabled,
thus allowing all the sources of osnoise during its execution. The
osnoise threads take note of the entry and exit point of any source
of interferences, increasing a per-cpu interference counter. The
osnoise tracer also saves an interference counter for each source
of interference.

The rtla osnoise top mode displays information about the periodic
summary from the osnoise tracer.

One example of rtla osnoise top output is:

[root@alien ~]# rtla osnoise top -c 0-3 -d 1m -q -r 900000 -P F:1
                                         Operating System Noise

"rtla osnoise top --help" works and provide information about the
available options.

[PATCH V7 05/14] rtla/osnoise: Add the hist mode

[Daniel Bristot de Oliveira]

The rtla osnoise hist tool collects all osnoise:sample_threshold
occurrence in a histogram, displaying the results in a user-friendly
way. The tool also allows many configurations of the osnoise tracer
and the collection of the tracer output.

Here is one example of the rtla osnoise hist tool output:

[PATCH V7 06/14] rtla: Add timerlat tool and timelart top mode

[Daniel Bristot de Oliveira]

The rtla timerlat tool is an interface for the timerlat tracer.
The timerlat tracer dispatches a kernel thread per-cpu. These threads set a
periodic timer to wake themselves up and go back to sleep. After the
wakeup, they collect and generate useful information for the debugging of
operating system timer latency.

The timerlat tracer outputs information in two ways. It periodically
prints the timer latency at the timer IRQ handler and the Thread handler.
It also provides information for each noise via the osnoise tracepoints.

The rtla timerlat top mode displays a summary of the periodic output from
the timerlat tracer.

Here is one example of the rtla timerlat tool output:
 ---------- %< ----------
[root@alien ~]# rtla timerlat top -c 0-3 -d 1m
                                     Timer Latency
  0 00:01:00   |          IRQ Timer Latency (us)        |         Thread Timer Latency (us)
CPU COUNT      |      cur       min       avg       max |      cur       min       avg       max
  0 #60001     |        0         0         0         3 |        1         1         1         6
  1 #60001     |        0         0         0         3 |        2         1         1         5
  2 #60001     |        0         0         1         6 |        1         1         2         7
  3 #60001     |        0         0         0         7 |        1         1         1        11
 ---------- >% ----------

Running:
  # rtla timerlat --help
  # rtla timerlat top --help
provides information about the available options.

[PATCH V7 07/14] rtla/timerlat: Add timerlat hist mode

[Daniel Bristot de Oliveira]

The rtla hist hist mode displays a histogram of each tracer event
occurrence, both for IRQ and timer latencies. The tool also allows
many configurations of the timerlat tracer and the collection of
the tracer output.

Here is one example of the rtla timerlat hist mode output:

[PATCH V7 08/14] rtla: Add Documentation

[Daniel Bristot de Oliveira]

Adds the basis for rtla documentation. This patch also
includes the rtla(1) man page.

As suggested by Jonathan Corbet, we are placing these man
pages at Documentation/tools/rtla, using rst format. It
is not linked to the official documentation, though.

The Makefile is based on bpftool's Documentation one.

+**rtla** *COMMAND* [*OPTIONS*]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+===========
+The **rtla** is a meta-tool that includes a set of commands that aims to
+analyze the real-time properties of Linux. But instead of testing Linux
+as a black box, **rtla** leverages kernel tracing capabilities to provide
+precise information about the properties and root causes of unexpected
+results.
+
+COMMANDS
+========
+**osnoise**
+
+        Gives information about the operating system noise (osnoise).
+
+**timerlat**
+
+        Measures the IRQ and thread timer latency.
+
+OPTIONS
+=======
+**-h**, **--help**
+
+        Display the help text.
+
+For other options, see the man page for the corresponding command.

+The **rtla osnoise** tool is an interface for the *osnoise* tracer. The
+*osnoise* tracer dispatches a kernel thread per-cpu. These threads read the
+time in a loop while with preemption, softirq and IRQs enabled, thus
+allowing all the sources of operating systme noise during its execution.
+The *osnoise*'s tracer threads take note of the delta between each time
+read, along with an interference counter of all sources of interference.
+At the end of each period, the *osnoise* tracer displays a summary of

+**rtla osnoise** [*MODE*] ...
+
+DESCRIPTION
+===========
+
+.. include:: common_osnoise_description.rst
+
+The *osnoise* tracer outputs information in two ways. It periodically prints
+a summary of the noise of the operating system, including the counters of
+the occurrence of the source of interference. It also provides information
+for each noise via the **osnoise:** tracepoints. The **rtla osnoise top**
+mode displays information about the periodic summary from the *osnoise* tracer.
+The **rtla osnoise hist** mode displays information about the noise using
+the **osnoise:** tracepoints. For further details, please refer to the
+respective man page.
+
+MODES
+=====
+**top**
+
+        Prints the summary from osnoise tracer.
+
+**hist**
+
+        Prints a histogram of osnoise samples.
+
+If no MODE is given, the top mode is called, passing the arguments.

+.. include:: common_osnoise_description.rst
+
+**rtla osnoise top** collects the periodic summary from the *osnoise* tracer,
+including the counters of the occurrence of the interference source,
+displaying the results in a user-friendly format.
+
+The tool also allows many configurations of the *osnoise* tracer and the
+collection of the tracer output.

+
+EXAMPLE
+=======
+In the example below, the **rtla osnoise top** tool is set to run with a
+real-time priority *FIFO:1*, on CPUs *0-3*, for *900ms* at each period
+(*1s* by default). The reason for reducing the runtime is to avoid starving
+the rtla tool. The tool is also set to run for *one minute* and to display
+a summary of the report at the end of the session::
+
+  [root@f34 ~]# rtla osnoise top -P F:1 -c 0-3 -r 900000 -d 1M -q

+The **rtla timerlat** tool is an interface for the *timerlat* tracer. The
+*timerlat* tracer dispatches a kernel thread per-cpu. These threads
+set a periodic timer to wake themselves up and go back to sleep. After
+the wakeup, they collect and generate useful information for the
+debugging of operating system timer latency.
+
+The *timerlat* tracer outputs information in two ways. It periodically
+prints the timer latency at the timer *IRQ* handler and the *Thread*
+handler. It also enable the trace of the most relevant information via
+**osnoise:** tracepoints.

+
+In the trace, it is possible the notice that the *IRQ* timer latency was
+already high, accounting *12505 ns*. The IRQ delay was caused by the
+*bash-109109* process that disabled IRQs in the wake-up path
+(*_try_to_wake_up()* function). The duration of the IRQ handler that woke
+up the timerlat thread, informed with the **osnoise:irq_noise** event, was
+also high and added more *12553 ns* to the Thread latency. Finally, the
+**osnoise:thread_noise** added by the currently running thread (including
+the scheduling overhead) added more *4769 ns*. Summing up these values,
+the *Thread* timer latency accounted for *30328 ns*.
+
+The primary reason for this high value is the wake-up path that was hit
+twice during this case: when the *bash-109109* was waking up a thread
+and then when the *timerlat* thread was awakened. This information can
+then be used as the starting point of a more fine-grained analysis.
+
+Note that **rtla timerlat** was dispatched without changing *timerlat* tracer
+threads' priority. That is generally not needed because these threads hava
+priority *FIFO:95* by default, which is a common priority used by real-time
+kernel developers to analyze scheduling delays.

+SYNOPSIS
+========
+**rtla timerlat hist** [*OPTIONS*] ...
+
+DESCRIPTION
+===========
+
+.. include:: common_timerlat_description.rst
+
+The **rtla timerlat hist** displays a histogram of each tracer event
+occurrence. This tool uses the periodic information, and the
+**osnoise:** tracepoints are enabled when using the **-T** option.
+
+OPTIONS
+=======
+
+.. include:: common_timerlat_options.rst
+
+.. include:: common_hist_options.rst
+
+.. include:: common_options.rst
+
+EXAMPLE
+=======
+In the example below, **rtla timerlat hist** is set to run for *10* minutes,
+in the cpus *0-4*, *skipping zero* only lines. Moreover, **rtla timerlat
+hist** will change the priority of the *timelat* threads to run under
+*SCHED_DEADLINE* priority, with a *10us* runtime every *1ms* period. The
+*1ms* period is also passed to the *timerlat* tracer::

For the -ltracefs and -ltracevent, you could use:

   $$($PKG_CONFIG) --libs libtracefs)

which would be more robust.

Interesting. We had discussions about having the custom option (which I

Did you really mean to have buffer be 4096 strings?

Or did you mean:

	char buffer[4096];

(i.e. a single string of 4096 size)?

Add a README to the above, so that people will know what dependencies there
are.

Thanks!

FYI, we changed the API (haven't tagged it yet, so we can do that :-) and
the above needs to be:

	data->trace_hist = tracefs_hist1d_alloc(tool->trace.tep, "osnoise", "sample_threshold",

Or do you think that 1d should be the default, and we have:

	tracefs_hist_alloc()	-- 1d histogram
	tracefs_hist_alloc_2d()	-- 2d histogram
	tracefs_hist_alloc_nd()	-- Nd histogram?

??

We haven't tagged it yet, so we could change it again (and then your code
will work as is).

I should be "char buffer[4096];" I will fix that.

(The * is probably a left over from the idea of using a malloc(4096)...)

IMHO, the function names in your second email sound more intuitive, i.e.,
tracefs_hist_alloc()/tracefs_hist_alloc_2d()/tracefs_hist_alloc_nd().

Just to confirm (confused by "second email" above), you prefer that we
update the API to:

	tracefs_hist_alloc()
	tracefs_hist_alloc_2d()
	tracefs_hist_alloc_nd()

Right?

Thanks,
