      tracing, page-allocator: add trace event for page traffic related to the buddy lists · 0d3d062a
      Mel Gorman 提交于
      The page allocation trace event reports that a page was successfully
      allocated but it does not specify where it came from.  When analysing
      performance, it can be important to distinguish between pages coming from
      the per-cpu allocator and pages coming from the buddy lists as the latter
      requires the zone lock to the taken and more data structures to be
      examined.
      
      This patch adds a trace event for __rmqueue reporting when a page is being
      allocated from the buddy lists.  It distinguishes between being called to
      refill the per-cpu lists or whether it is a high-order allocation.
      Similarly, this patch adds an event to catch when the PCP lists are being
      drained a little and pages are going back to the buddy lists.
      
      This is trickier to draw conclusions from but high activity on those
      events could explain why there were a large number of cache misses on a
      page-allocator-intensive workload.  The coalescing and splitting of
      buddies involves a lot of writing of page metadata and cache line bounces
      not to mention the acquisition of an interrupt-safe lock necessary to
      enter this path.

      tracing, page-allocator: add trace events for anti-fragmentation falling back to other migratetypes · e0fff1bd
      Mel Gorman 提交于
      Fragmentation avoidance depends on being able to use free pages from lists
      of the appropriate migrate type.  In the event this is not possible,
      __rmqueue_fallback() selects a different list and in some circumstances
      change the migratetype of the pageblock.  Simplistically, the more times
      this event occurs, the more likely that fragmentation will be a problem
      later for hugepage allocation at least but there are other considerations
      such as the order of page being split to satisfy the allocation.
      
      This patch adds a trace event for __rmqueue_fallback() that reports what
      page is being used for the fallback, the orders of relevant pages, the
      desired migratetype and the migratetype of the lists being used, whether
      the pageblock changed type and whether this event is important with
      respect to fragmentation avoidance or not.  This information can be used
      to help analyse fragmentation avoidance and help decide whether
      min_free_kbytes should be increased or not.

      tracing, page-allocator: add trace events for page allocation and page freeing · 4b4f278c
      Mel Gorman 提交于
      This patch adds trace events for the allocation and freeing of pages,
      including the freeing of pagevecs.  Using the events, it will be known
      what struct page and pfns are being allocated and freed and what the call
      site was in many cases.
      
      The page alloc tracepoints be used as an indicator as to whether the
      workload was heavily dependant on the page allocator or not.  You can make
      a guess based on vmstat but you can't get a per-process breakdown.
      Depending on the call path, the call_site for page allocation may be
      __get_free_pages() instead of a useful callsite.  Instead of passing down
      a return address similar to slab debugging, the user should enable the
      stacktrace and seg-addr options to get a proper stack trace.
      
      The pagevec free tracepoint has a different usecase.  It can be used to
      get a idea of how many pages are being dumped off the LRU and whether it
      is kswapd doing the work or a process doing direct reclaim.

      tracing/events: Move TRACE_SYSTEM outside of include guard · d0b6e04a

      Imaging this scenario:
      
       #include <trace/events/foo.h>

       #include <trace/events/foo.h>
          -> TRACE_SYSTEM == bar !!!
      
      and then bar.h will be included and compiled.

      tracing: create automated trace defines · a8d154b0
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      This patch lowers the number of places a developer must modify to add
      new tracepoints. The current method to add a new tracepoint
      into an existing system is to write the trace point macro in the
      trace header with one of the macros TRACE_EVENT, TRACE_FORMAT or
      DECLARE_TRACE, then they must add the same named item into the C file
      with the macro DEFINE_TRACE(name) and then add the trace point.
      
      This change cuts out the needing to add the DEFINE_TRACE(name).
      Every file that uses the tracepoint must still include the trace/<type>.h
      file, but the one C file must also add a define before the including
      of that file.
      
       #define CREATE_TRACE_POINTS
       #include <trace/mytrace.h>
      
      This will cause the trace/mytrace.h file to also produce the C code
      necessary to implement the trace point.
      
      Note, if more than one trace/<type>.h is used to create the C code
      it is best to list them all together.
      
       #define CREATE_TRACE_POINTS
       #include <trace/foo.h>
       #include <trace/bar.h>
       #include <trace/fido.h>
      
      Thanks to Mathieu Desnoyers and Christoph Hellwig for coming up with
      the cleaner solution of the define above the includes over my first
      design to have the C code include a "special" header.
      
      This patch converts sched, irq and lockdep and skb to use this new
      method.

      tracing: consolidate trace and trace_event headers · ea20d929
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      Impact: clean up
      
      Neil Horman (et. al.) criticized the way the trace events were broken up
      into two files. The reason for that was that ftrace needed to separate out
      the declarations from where the #include <linux/tracepoint.h> was used.
      It then dawned on me that the tracepoint.h header only needs to define the
      TRACE_EVENT macro if it is not already defined.
      
      The solution is simply to test if TRACE_EVENT is defined, and if it is not
      then the linux/tracepoint.h header can define it. This change consolidates
      all the <traces>.h and <traces>_event_types.h into the <traces>.h file.

      Yeah I shall confess kmem_minimalistic should be: kmem_alternative.
      
      Whatever, I find it more readable but this a personal opinion of course.
      We can drop it if you want.
      
      On the ALLOC/FREE column, + means an allocation and - a free.
      
      On the type column, you have K = kmalloc, C = cache, P = page
      
      I would like the flags to be GFP_* strings but that would not be easy to not
      break the column with strings....
      
      About the node...it seems to always be -1. I don't know why but that shouldn't
      be difficult to find.
      
      I moved linux/tracepoint.h to trace/tracepoint.h as well. I think that would
