rtla/timerlat_top: Abort event processing on second signal

2025-02-21T13:01:25+00:00

[ Upstream commit 80967b354a76b360943af384c10d807d98bea5c4 ] If either SIGINT is received twice, or after a SIGALRM (that is, after timerlat was supposed to stop), abort processing events currently left in the tracefs buffer and exit immediately. This allows the user to exit rtla without waiting for processing all events, should that take longer than wanted, at the cost of not processing all samples.

rtla/timerlat_top: Stop timerlat tracer on signal

2025-02-17T09:05:43+00:00

commit a4dfce7559d75430c464294ddee554be2a413c4a upstream. Currently, when either SIGINT from the user or SIGALRM from the duration timer is caught by rtla-timerlat, stop_tracing is set to break out of the main loop. This is not sufficient for cases where the timerlat tracer is producing more data than rtla can consume, since in that case, rtla is looping indefinitely inside tracefs_iterate_raw_events, never reaches the check of stop_tracing and hangs. In addition to setting stop_tracing, also stop the timerlat tracer on received signal (SIGINT or SIGALRM). This will stop new samples so that the existing samples may be processed and tracefs_iterate_raw_events eventually exits.

rtla/timerlat_top: Set OSNOISE_WORKLOAD for kernel threads

2025-02-17T09:05:43+00:00

commit 217f0b1e990e30a1f06f6d531fdb4530f4788d48 upstream. When using rtla timerlat with userspace threads (-u or -U), rtla disables the OSNOISE_WORKLOAD option in /sys/kernel/tracing/osnoise/options. This option is not re-enabled in a subsequent run with kernel-space threads, leading to rtla collecting no results if the previous run exited abnormally: $ rtla timerlat top -u ^\Quit (core dumped) $ rtla timerlat top -k -d 1s Timer Latency 0 00:00:01 | IRQ Timer Latency (us) | Thread Timer Latency (us) CPU COUNT | cur min avg max | cur min avg max The issue persists until OSNOISE_WORKLOAD is set manually by running: $ echo OSNOISE_WORKLOAD > /sys/kernel/tracing/osnoise/options Set OSNOISE_WORKLOAD when running rtla with kernel-space threads if available to fix the issue.

rtla/timerlat: Make timerlat_top_cpu->*_count unsigned long long

2024-12-14T19:03:58+00:00

[ Upstream commit 4eba4723c5254ba8251ecb7094a5078d5c300646 ] Most fields of struct timerlat_top_cpu are unsigned long long, but the fields {irq,thread,user}_count are int (32-bit signed). This leads to overflow when tracing on a large number of CPUs for a long enough time: $ rtla timerlat top -a20 -c 1-127 -d 12h ... 0 12:00:00 | IRQ Timer Latency (us) | Thread Timer Latency (us) CPU COUNT | cur min avg max | cur min avg max 1 #43200096 | 0 0 1 2 | 3 2 6 12 ... 127 #43200096 | 0 0 1 2 | 3 2 5 11 ALL #119144 e4 | 0 5 4 | 2 28 16 The average latency should be 0-1 for IRQ and 5-6 for thread, but is reported as 5 and 28, about 4 to 5 times more, due to the count overflowing when summed over all CPUs: 43200096 * 127 = 5486412192, however, 1191444898 (= 5486412192 mod MAX_INT) is reported instead, as seen on the last line of the output, and the averages are thus ~4.6 times higher than they should be (5486412192 / 1191444898 = ~4.6). Fix the issue by changing {irq,thread,user}_count fields to unsigned long long, similarly to other fields in struct timerlat_top_cpu and to the count variable in timerlat_top_print_sum.

rtla/timerlat: Do not set params->user_workload with -U

2024-12-05T13:02:17+00:00

[ Upstream commit fcbc60d7dc4b125c8de130aa1512e5d20726c06e ] Since commit fb9e90a67ee9 ("rtla/timerlat: Make user-space threads the default"), rtla-timerlat has been defaulting to params->user_workload if neither that or params->kernel_workload is set. This has unintentionally made -U, which sets only params->user_hist/top but not params->user_workload, to behave like -u unless -k is set, preventing the user from running a custom workload. Example: $ rtla timerlat hist -U -c 0 & [1] 7413 $ python sample/timerlat_load.py 0 Error opening timerlat fd, did you run timerlat -U? $ ps | grep timerlatu 7415 pts/4 00:00:00 timerlatu/0 Fix the issue by checking for params->user_top/hist instead of params->user_workload when setting default thread mode.

rtla: Fix the help text in osnoise and timerlat top tools

2024-10-03T20:43:22+00:00

The help text in osnoise top and timerlat top had some minor errors and omissions. The -d option was missing the 's' (second) abbreviation and the error message for '-d' used '-D'.

rtla: Fix -t\--trace[=file]

2024-05-16T14:49:10+00:00

The -t option has an optional argument. The usual case is for a short option to be specified without an '=' and for the long version to be specified with an '=' Various forms of this do not work as expected. For example: rtla timerlat hist -T50 -tfile.txt will result in a truncated file name of "ile.txt" Another example is that the long form without the '=' will result in the default file name instead of the requested file name. This patch properly parses the optional argument with and without '=' and with and without spaces for the short form. This patch was also tested using -t and --trace without providing a file name both as the last requested option and with a following long and short option. For example: rtla timerlat hist -T50 -t -u rtla timerlat hist -T50 --trace -u This fix is applied to both timerlat top and hist and to osnoise top and hist. Here is the full testing for rtla timerlat hist. Before applying the patch rtla timerlat hist -T50 -t=file.txt Works as expected, "file.txt" rtla timerlat hist -T50 -tfile.txt Truncated file name "ile.txt" rtla timerlat hist -T50 -t file.txt Default file name instead of file.txt rtla timerlat hist -T50 --trace=file.txt Truncated file name "ile.txt" rtla timerlat hist -T50 --trace file.txt Default file name "timerlat_trace.txt" instead of "file.txt" After applying the patch: rtla timerlat hist -T50 -t=file.txt Works as expected, "file.txt" rtla timerlat hist -T50 -tfile.txt Works as expected, "file.txt" rtla timerlat hist -T50 -t file.txt Works as expected, "file.txt" rtla timerlat hist -T50 --trace=file.txt Works as expected, "file.txt" rtla timerlat hist -T50 --trace file.txt Works as expected, "file.txt" In addition the following tests were performed to make sure that the default file name worked as expected including with trailing options. rtla timerlat hist -T50 -t Works as expected "timerlat_trace.txt" rtla timerlat hist -T50 --trace Works as expected "timerlat_trace.txt" rtla timerlat hist -T50 -t -u Works as expected "timerlat_trace.txt" rtla timerlat hist -T50 --trace -u Works as expected "timerlat_trace.txt" Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20240515183024.59985-1-jkacur@redhat.com Cc: Daniel Bristot de Oliveria Signed-off-by: John Kacur Signed-off-by: Daniel Bristot de Oliveira

rtla: Add --trace-buffer-size option

2024-05-16T14:44:34+00:00

Add the option allow the users to set a different buffer size for the trace. For example, in large systems, the user might be interested on reducing the trace buffer to avoid large tracing files. The buffer size is specified in kB, and it is only affecting the tracing instance. The function trace_set_buffer_size() appears on libtracefs v1.6, so increase the minimum required version on Makefile.config.

rtla/timerlat: Make user-space threads the default

2024-05-15T13:13:57+00:00

After ther -u addition, most of the known users are setting it. And it makes sense, as it adds more information, and inherits the default setup for the threads - e.g., cgroups configs. Thus, if the user-space interface is available, enable -u. Otherwise, use the in-kernel thread. Add the -k option to allow the user to request kernel-threads.

rtla: Add the --warm-up option

2024-05-15T13:13:57+00:00

On many cases, the results right after the startup are different from the rest of the execution, biasing the results. For example, on osnoise, the scheduler might take some time to adapt to the new busy-loop workload. Add the --warm-up option, adding a warm-up phase (in seconds) where the workload is set, but the results are discarded.
