tools/rtla: fix collision with glibc sched_attr/sched_set_attr

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

[ Upstream commit 0eecee340672c4b512f6f4a8c6add26df05d130c ] glibc commit 21571ca0d703 ("Linux: Add the sched_setattr and sched_getattr functions") now also provides 'struct sched_attr' and sched_setattr() which collide with the ones from rtla.

tools/rtla: Replace setting prio with nice for SCHED_OTHER

2024-02-12T09:56:36+00:00

Since the sched_priority for SCHED_OTHER is always 0, it makes no sence to set it. Setting nice for SCHED_OTHER seems more meaningful.

rtla/timerlat_top: Add timerlat user-space support

2023-06-13T20:38:51+00:00

Add the support for running timerlat threads in user-space. In this mode, enabled with -u/--user-threads, timerlat dispatches user-space processes that will loop in the timerlat_fd, measuring the overhead for going to user-space and then returning to the kernel - in addition to the existing measurements. Here is one example of the tool's output with -u enabled: $ sudo timerlat top -u -d 600 -q Timer Latency 0 00:10:01 | IRQ Timer Latency (us) | Thread Timer Latency (us) | Ret user Timer Latency (us) CPU COUNT | cur min avg max | cur min avg max | cur min avg max 0 #600001 | 0 0 0 3 | 2 1 2 9 | 3 2 3 15 1 #600001 | 0 0 0 2 | 2 1 2 13 | 2 2 3 18 2 #600001 | 0 0 0 10 | 2 1 2 16 | 3 2 3 20 3 #600001 | 0 0 0 7 | 2 1 2 10 | 3 2 3 11 4 #600000 | 0 0 0 16 | 2 1 2 41 | 3 2 3 58 5 #600000 | 0 0 0 3 | 2 1 2 10 | 3 2 3 13 6 #600000 | 0 0 0 5 | 2 1 2 7 | 3 2 3 10 7 #600000 | 0 0 0 1 | 2 1 2 7 | 3 2 3 10 The tuning setup like -p or -C work for the user-space threads as well.

rtla: Automatically move rtla to a house-keeping cpu

2023-06-13T20:30:13+00:00

When the user sets -c try to move rtla out of the , even without an -H option. This is useful to avoid having rtla interfering with the workload. This works by removing from rtla's current affinity. If rtla fails to move itself away it is not that of a problem as this is an automatic measure.

rtla: Add --house-keeping option

2023-06-13T20:26:03+00:00

To avoid having rtla interfering with the measurement threads, add an option for the user to set the CPUs in which rtla should run. For instance: # rtla timerlat top -H 0 -c 1-7 Will place rtla in the CPU 0, while running the measurement threads in the CPU 1-7.

rtla: Add -C cgroup support

2023-06-13T20:25:13+00:00

The -C option sets a cgroup to the tracer's threads. If the -C option is passed without arguments, the tracer's thread will inherit rtla's cgroup. Otherwise, the threads will be placed on the cgroup passed to the option.

rtla/timerlat: Add auto-analysis core

2023-02-02T15:48:03+00:00

Currently, timerlat displays a summary of the timerlat tracer results saving the trace if the system hits a stop condition. While this represented a huge step forward, the root cause was not that is accessible to non-expert users. The auto-analysis fulfill this gap by parsing the trace timerlat runs, printing an intuitive auto-analysis.

rtla: Remove procps-ng dependency

2022-05-26T19:20:46+00:00

Daniel Wagner reported to me that readproc.h got deprecated. Also, while the procps-ng library was available on Fedora, it was not available on RHEL, which is a piece of evidence that it was not that used. rtla uses procps-ng only to find the PID of the tracers' workload. I used the procps-ng library to avoid reinventing the wheel. But in this case, reinventing the wheel took me less time than the time we already took trying to work around problems. Implement a function that reads /proc/ entries, checking if: - the entry is a directory - the directory name is composed only of digits (PID) - the directory contains the comm file - the comm file contains a comm that matches the tracers' workload prefix. - then return true; otherwise, return false. And use it instead of procps-ng.

rtla/timerlat: Add --dma-latency option

2022-03-15T18:36:50+00:00

Add the --dma-latency to set /dev/cpu_dma_latency to the specified value, this aims to avoid having exit from idle states latencies that could be influencing the analysis.

rtla: Helper functions for rtla

2022-01-13T22:02:42+00:00

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).
