[Xen-devel] [PATCH v6 0/5] xen: debugtrace cleanup and per-cpu buffer support

[Xen-devel] [PATCH v6 0/5] xen: debugtrace cleanup and per-cpu buffer support

[Juergen Gross]

Another debugtrace enhancement I needed for core scheduling debugging,
plus some cleanup.

Changes in V6:
- some comments by Jan addressed
- added patch 5

Changes in V5:
- several comments by Jan addressed (code: patches 1 and 4, commit
  message of patch 3)

Changes in V4:
- replaced patch 1 (original one was committed, new one requested by
  Jan Beulich)
- several comments by Jan addressed

Changes in V3:
- rebase to current staging

Changes in V2:
- added new patch 1 (preparing the move of debugtrace coding)
- patch 4 (v1 patch 3): avoid leaking buffer

Juergen Gross (5):
  xen: fix debugtrace clearing
  xen: move debugtrace coding to common/debugtrace.c
  xen: refactor debugtrace data
  xen: add per-cpu buffer option to debugtrace
  xen: add debugtrace entry when entry count is wrapping

[Xen-devel] [PATCH v6 1/5] xen: fix debugtrace clearing

[Juergen Gross]

After dumping the debugtrace buffer it is cleared. This results in some
entries not being printed in case the buffer is dumped again before
having wrapped.

While at it remove the trailing zero byte in the buffer as it is no
longer needed. Commit b5e6e1ee8da59f introduced passing the number of
chars to be printed in the related interfaces, so the trailing 0 byte
is no longer required.

V5:
- invalidate last_buf instead of last_prd after printing the buffer
  (Jan Beulich)
V6:
- instead of moving last_buf to file scope use a boolean for buffer
  invalidation (Jan Beulich)

[Xen-devel] [PATCH v6 2/5] xen: move debugtrace coding to common/debugtrace.c

[Juergen Gross]

Instead of living in drivers/char/console.c move the debugtrace
related coding to a new file common/debugtrace.c

No functional change, code movement only.

[Xen-devel] [PATCH v6 3/5] xen: refactor debugtrace data

[Juergen Gross]

As a preparation for per-cpu buffers do a little refactoring of the
debugtrace data: put the needed buffer admin data into the buffer as
it will be needed for each buffer. In order not to limit buffer size
switch the related fields from unsigned int to unsigned long, as on
huge machines with RAM in the TB range it might be interesting to
support buffers >4GB.

While at it switch debugtrace_send_to_console and debugtrace_used to
bool and delete an empty line.

[Xen-devel] [PATCH v6 4/5] xen: add per-cpu buffer option to debugtrace

[Juergen Gross]

debugtrace is normally writing trace entries into a single trace
buffer. There are cases where this is not optimal, e.g. when hunting
a bug which requires writing lots of trace entries and one cpu is
stuck. This will result in other cpus filling the trace buffer and
finally overwriting the interesting trace entries of the hanging cpu.

In order to be able to debug such situations add the capability to use
per-cpu trace buffers. This can be selected by specifying the
debugtrace boot parameter with the modifier "cpu:", like:

  debugtrace=cpu:16

At the same time switch the parsing function to accept size modifiers
(e.g. 4M or 1G).

Printing out the trace entries is done for each buffer in order to
minimize the effort needed during printing. As each entry is prefixed
with its sequence number sorting the entries can easily be done when
analyzing them.

V2:
- only allocate buffer if not already done so
V4:
- unsigned int -> unsigned long (Jan Beulich)
- replace check for bytes < PAGE_SIZE by !bytes (Jan Beulich)
- print info which buffer allocation failed (Jan Beulich)
- replace switch by if in cpu notifier handler (Jan Beulich)
V5:
- don't silently ignore trailing characters when parsing buffer size
  (Jan Beulich)
- limit scope of some variables (Jan Beulich)
- adjust error message format (Jan Beulich)
V6:
- move calculation of final debugtrace_bytes value to parameter parsing

[Xen-devel] [PATCH v6 5/5] xen: add debugtrace entry when entry count is wrapping

[Juergen Gross]

The debugtrace entry count is a 32 bit variable, so it can wrap when
lots of trace entries are being produced. Making it wider would result
in a waste of buffer space as the printed count value would consume
more bytes when not wrapping.

So instead of letting the count value grow to huge values let it wrap
and add a wrap counter printed in this situation. This will keep the
needed buffer space at today's value while avoiding to loose a way to
sort all entries in case multiple trace buffers are involved.

Wouldn't it be more logical for this to start out as "true"?
And I'm debating with myself whether it might want to be
__read_mostly. Both could be adjusted (if agreement can be
reached) while committing.

... two more __read_mostly used here (which could again be done
while committing if you agree).

Oh, no - I have to take this back. Looking at patch 5 I notice
that you now only ever write last_cpu; you must have lost its
consumer.

Hmm, no, the latter rather not.

Oh, indeed. Thanks for spotting that. Will send out a corrected patch
soon.

Just one minor remark: In this case you issue a "wrap" message at
start of day, ...

... whereas here one gets issued (as I'd expect it) only after the
first wrapping of "count".

In the end it doesn't matter, as last_buf[] will be empty initially.
But I can change it to let its semantics match the reality.

Yes, I know. The reason I have done it this way was the possibility to
support debugtrace via console even in case of a zero-sized buffer in
future. I can point that out in the commit message.
