The event-tracing macros do not like bool tracing arguments, so this commit makes them be of type char. This change has the knock-on effect of making it illegal to pass a pointer into one of these arguments, so also change rcutiny's first call to trace_rcu_batch_end() to convert from pointer to boolean, prefixing with "!!".

This commit adds tracing to the normal grace-period request points. These are rcu_gp_cleanup(), which checks for the need for another grace period at the end of the previous grace period, and rcu_start_gp_advanced(), which restarts RCU's state machine after an idle period. These trace events are intended to help track down bugs where RCU remains idle despite there being work for it to do. Reported-by: NClark Williams <williams@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NPaul E.

In the current code, the value of fallback_migratetype that is printed using the mm_page_alloc_extfrag tracepoint, is the value of the migratetype *after* it has been set to the preferred migratetype (if the ownership was changed). Obviously that wouldn't have been the original intent. (We already have a separate 'change_ownership' field to tell whether the ownership of the pageblock was changed from the fallback_migratetype to the preferred type.) The intent of the fallback_migratetype field is to show the migratetype from which we borrowed pages in order to satisfy the allocation request. So fix the code to print that value correctly.

After applied the commit (4a092d73), we have reduced the number of source files that need to #include ext4_extents.h. But we can do better. This commit defines ext4_zeroout_es() in extents.c and move EXT_MAX_BLOCKS into ext4.h in order not to include ext4_extents.h in indirect.c and ioctl.c. Meanwhile we just need to include this file in extent_status.c when ES_AGGRESSIVE_TEST is defined. Otherwise, this commit removes a duplicated declaration in trace/events/ext4.h. After applied this patch, we just need to include ext4_extents.h file in {super,migrate,move_extents,extents}.c, and it is easy for us to define a new extent disk layout.

The next patch tries to avoid the costly perf_trace_buf_* calls when possible but there is a problem. We can only do this if __task == NULL, perf_tp_event(task != NULL) has the additional code for this case. Unfortunately, TP_perf_assign/__perf_xxx which changes the default values of __count/__task variables for perf_trace_buf_submit() is called "too late", after we already did perf_trace_buf_prepare(), and the optimization above can't work. So this patch simply embeds __perf_xxx() into TP_ARGS(), this way DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS() can use the result of assignments hidden in "args" right after ftrace_get_offsets_##call() which is mostly trivial. This allows us to have the fast-path "__task != NULL" check at the start, see the next patch.

To simplify the review of the next patches: 1. We are going to reimplent __perf_task/counter and embedd them into TP_ARGS(). expand TRACE_EVENT(sched_stat_runtime) into DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS() + DEFINE_EVENT(), this way they can use different TP_ARGS's. 2. Change perf_trace_##call() macro to do perf_fetch_caller_regs() right before perf_trace_buf_prepare(). This way it evaluates TP_ARGS() asap, the next patch explores this fact. Note: after 87f44bbc perf_trace_buf_prepare() doesn't need "struct pt_regs *regs", perhaps it makes sense to remove this argument. And perhaps we can teach perf_trace_buf_submit() to accept regs == NULL and do fetch_caller_regs(CALLER_ADDR1) in this case. 3. Cosmetic, but the typecast from "void*" buys nothing. It just adds the noise, remove it.

All the RCU tracepoints and functions that reference char pointers do so with just 'char *' even though they do not modify the contents of the string itself. This will cause warnings if a const char * is used in one of these functions. The RCU tracepoints store the pointer to the string to refer back to them when the trace output is displayed. As this can be minutes, hours or even days later, those strings had better be constant. This change also opens the door to allow the RCU tracepoint strings and their addresses to be exported so that userspace tracing tools can translate the contents of the pointers of the RCU tracepoints.

Andrew Perepechko reported a problem whereby pages are being prematurely evicted as the mark_page_accessed() hint is ignored for pages that are currently on a pagevec -- http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-ext4/msg37340.html . Alexey Lyahkov and Robin Dong have also reported problems recently that could be due to hot pages reaching the end of the inactive list too quickly and be reclaimed. Rather than addressing this on a per-filesystem basis, this series aims to fix the mark_page_accessed() interface by deferring what LRU a page is added to pagevec drain time and allowing mark_page_accessed() to call SetPageActive on a pagevec page. Patch 1 adds two tracepoints for LRU page activation and insertion. Using these processes it's possible to build a model of pages in the LRU that can be processed offline. Patch 2 defers making the decision on what LRU to add a page to until when the pagevec is drained. Patch 3 searches the local pagevec for pages to mark PageActive on mark_page_accessed. The changelog explains why only the local pagevec is examined. Patches 4 and 5 tidy up the API. postmark, a dd-based test and fs-mark both single and threaded mode were run but none of them showed any performance degradation or gain as a result of the patch. Using patch 1, I built a *very* basic model of the LRU to examine offline what the average age of different page types on the LRU were in milliseconds. Of course, capturing the trace distorts the test as it's written to local disk but it does not matter for the purposes of this test. The average age of pages in milliseconds were vanilla deferdrain Average age mapped anon: 1454 1250 Average age mapped file: 127841 155552 Average age unmapped anon: 85 235 Average age unmapped file: 73633 38884 Average age unmapped buffers: 74054 116155 The LRU activity was mostly files which you'd expect for a dd-based workload. Note that the average age of buffer pages is increased by the series and it is expected this is due to the fact that the buffer pages are now getting added to the active list when drained from the pagevecs. Note that the average age of the unmapped file data is decreased as they are still added to the inactive list and are reclaimed before the buffers. There is no guarantee this is a universal win for all workloads and it would be nice if the filesystem people gave some thought as to whether this decision is generally a win or a loss. This patch: Using these tracepoints it is possible to model LRU activity and the average residency of pages of different types. This can be used to debug problems related to premature reclaim of pages of particular types.

The tracepoints were reworked to be more sensible, and fixed a null pointer deref in one of the tracepoints. Converted some of the pr_debug()s to tracepoints - this is partly a performance optimization; it used to be that with DEBUG or CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG pr_debug() was an empty macro; but at some point it was changed to an empty inline function. Some of the pr_debug() statements had rather expensive function calls as part of the arguments, so this code was getting run unnecessarily even on non debug kernels - in some fast paths, too.

There are two issues with current writeback path in ext4. For one we don't necessarily map complete pages when blocksize < pagesize and thus needn't do any writeback in one iteration. We always map some blocks though so we will eventually finish mapping the page. Just if writeback races with other operations on the file, forward progress is not really guaranteed. The second problem is that current code structure makes it hard to associate all the bios to some range of pages with one io_end structure so that unwritten extents can be converted after all the bios are finished. This will be especially difficult later when io_end will be associated with reserved transaction handle. We restructure the writeback path to a relatively simple loop which first prepares extent of pages, then maps one or more extents so that no page is partially mapped, and once page is fully mapped it is submitted for IO. We keep all the mapping and IO submission information in mpage_da_data structure to somewhat reduce stack usage. Resulting code is somewhat shorter than the old one and hopefully also easier to read.

Currently punch hole is disabled in file systems with bigalloc feature enabled. However the recent changes in punch hole patch should make it easier to support punching holes on bigalloc enabled file systems. This commit changes partial_cluster handling in ext4_remove_blocks(), ext4_ext_rm_leaf() and ext4_ext_remove_space(). Currently partial_cluster is unsigned long long type and it makes sure that we will free the partial cluster if all extents has been released from that cluster. However it has been specifically designed only for truncate. With punch hole we can be freeing just some extents in the cluster leaving the rest untouched. So we have to make sure that we will notice cluster which still has some extents. To do this I've changed partial_cluster to be signed long long type. The only scenario where this could be a problem is when cluster_size == block size, however in that case there would not be any partial clusters so we're safe. For bigger clusters the signed type is enough. Now we use the negative value in partial_cluster to mark such cluster used, hence we know that we must not free it even if all other extents has been freed from such cluster. This scenario can be described in simple diagram: |FFF...FF..FF.UUU| ^----------^ punch hole . - free space | - cluster boundary F - freed extent U - used extent Also update respective tracepoints to use signed long long type for partial_cluster.

We (Linux Kernel Performance project) found a regression introduced by commit: f7fec032 ext4: track all extent status in extent status tree The commit causes about 20% performance decrease in fio random write test. Profiler shows that rb_next() uses a lot of CPU time. The call stack is: rb_next ext4_es_find_delayed_extent ext4_map_blocks _ext4_get_block ext4_get_block_write __blockdev_direct_IO ext4_direct_IO generic_file_direct_write __generic_file_aio_write ext4_file_write aio_rw_vect_retry aio_run_iocb do_io_submit sys_io_submit system_call_fastpath io_submit td_io_getevents io_u_queued_complete thread_main main __libc_start_main The cause is that ext4_es_find_delayed_extent() doesn't have an upper bound, it keeps searching until a delayed extent is found. When there are a lots of non-delayed entries in the extent state tree, ext4_es_find_delayed_extent() may uses a lot of CPU time.

Commit 7ff9554b ("printk: convert byte-buffer to variable-length record buffer") removed start and end parameters from call_console_drivers, but those parameters still exist in include/trace/events/printk.h. Without start and end parameters handling, printk tracing became more simple as: trace_console(text, len); Signed-off-by: Nzhangwei(Jovi) <jovi.zhangwei@huawei.com> Acked-by: NSteven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Acked-by: NFrederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Kay Sievers <kay@vrfy.org> Signed-off-by: NAndrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Use the events API to trace filemap loading and unloading of file pieces into the page cache. This patch aims at tracing the eviction reload cycle of executable and shared libraries pages in a memory constrained environment. The typical usage is to spot a specific device and inode (for example /lib/libc.so) to see the eviction cycles, and find out if frequently used code is rather spread across many pages (bad) or coallesced (good).
