This enables us to understand how many hash fault we are taking when running benchmarks. For ex: -bash-4.2# ./perf stat -e powerpc:hash_fault -e page-faults /tmp/ebizzy.ppc64 -S 30 -P -n 1000 ... Performance counter stats for '/tmp/ebizzy.ppc64 -S 30 -P -n 1000': 1,10,04,075 powerpc:hash_fault 1,10,03,429 page-faults 30.865978991 seconds time elapsed NOTE: The impact of the tracepoint was not noticeable when running test. It was within the run-time variance of the test. For ex: without-patch: -------------- Performance counter stats for './a.out 3000 300': 643 page-faults # 0.089 M/sec 7.236562 task-clock (msec) # 0.928 CPUs utilized 2,179,213 stalled-cycles-frontend # 0.00% frontend cycles idle 17,174,367 stalled-cycles-backend # 0.00% backend cycles idle 0 context-switches # 0.000 K/sec 0.007794658 seconds time elapsed And with-patch: --------------- Performance counter stats for './a.out 3000 300': 643 page-faults # 0.089 M/sec 7.233746 task-clock (msec) # 0.921 CPUs utilized 0 context-switches # 0.000 K/sec 0.007854876 seconds time elapsed Performance counter stats for './a.out 3000 300': 643 page-faults # 0.087 M/sec 649 powerpc:hash_fault # 0.087 M/sec 7.430376 task-clock (msec) # 0.938 CPUs utilized 2,347,174 stalled-cycles-frontend # 0.00% frontend cycles idle 17,524,282 stalled-cycles-backend # 0.00% backend cycles idle 0 context-switches # 0.000 K/sec 0.007920284 seconds time elapsed Signed-off-by: NAneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NMichael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>

Knowing how long we spend in firmware calls is an important part of minimising OS jitter. This patch adds tracepoints to each OPAL call. If tracepoints are enabled we branch out to a common routine that calls an entry and exit tracepoint. This allows us to write tools that monitor the frequency and duration of OPAL calls, eg: name count total(ms) min(ms) max(ms) avg(ms) period(ms) OPAL_HANDLE_INTERRUPT 5 0.199 0.037 0.042 0.040 12547.545 OPAL_POLL_EVENTS 204 2.590 0.012 0.036 0.013 2264.899 OPAL_PCI_MSI_EOI 2830 3.066 0.001 0.005 0.001 81.166 We use jump labels if configured, which means we only add a single nop instruction to every OPAL call when the tracepoints are disabled.

irq_entry, irq_exit, timer_interrupt_entry and timer_interrupt_exit all do the same thing so use DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS to avoid duplicating everything 4 times. This saves quite a lot of space in both instruction text and data: text data bss dec hex filename 9265 19622 16 28903 70e7 arch/powerpc/kernel/irq.o 6817 19019 16 25852 64fc arch/powerpc/kernel/irq.o Signed-off-by: NAnton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

While most users of the hcall tracepoints will only want the opcode and return code, some will want all the arguments. To avoid the complexity of using varargs we pass a pointer to the register save area, which contains all the arguments.

Add hcall_entry and hcall_exit tracepoints. This replaces the inline assembly HCALL_STATS code and converts it to use the new tracepoints. To keep the disabled case as quick as possible, we embed a status word in the TOC so we can get at it with a single load. By doing so we keep the overhead at a minimum. Time taken for a null hcall: No tracepoint code: 135.79 cycles Disabled tracepoints: 137.95 cycles For reference, before this patch enabling HCALL_STATS resulted in a null hcall of 201.44 cycles!

We can monitor the effectiveness of our power management of both the kernel and hypervisor by probing the timer interrupt. For example, on this box we see 10.37s timer interrupts on an idle core: <idle>-0 [010] 3900.671297: timer_interrupt_entry: pt_regs=c0000000ce1e7b10 <idle>-0 [010] 3900.671302: timer_interrupt_exit: pt_regs=c0000000ce1e7b10 <idle>-0 [010] 3911.042963: timer_interrupt_entry: pt_regs=c0000000ce1e7b10 <idle>-0 [010] 3911.042968: timer_interrupt_exit: pt_regs=c0000000ce1e7b10 <idle>-0 [010] 3921.414630: timer_interrupt_entry: pt_regs=c0000000ce1e7b10 <idle>-0 [010] 3921.414635: timer_interrupt_exit: pt_regs=c0000000ce1e7b10 Since we have a 207MHz decrementer it will go negative and fire every 10.37s even if Linux is completely idle.

This adds powerpc-specific tracepoints for interrupt entry and exit. While we already have generic irq_handler_entry and irq_handler_exit tracepoints there are cases on our virtualised powerpc machines where an interrupt is presented to the OS, but subsequently handled by the hypervisor. This means no OS interrupt handler is invoked. Here is an example on a POWER6 machine with the patch below applied: <idle>-0 [006] 3243.949840744: irq_entry: pt_regs=c0000000ce31fb10 <idle>-0 [006] 3243.949850520: irq_exit: pt_regs=c0000000ce31fb10 <idle>-0 [007] 3243.950218208: irq_entry: pt_regs=c0000000ce323b10 <idle>-0 [007] 3243.950224080: irq_exit: pt_regs=c0000000ce323b10 <idle>-0 [000] 3244.021879320: irq_entry: pt_regs=c000000000a63aa0 <idle>-0 [000] 3244.021883616: irq_handler_entry: irq=87 handler=eth0 <idle>-0 [000] 3244.021887328: irq_handler_exit: irq=87 return=handled <idle>-0 [000] 3244.021897408: irq_exit: pt_regs=c000000000a63aa0 Here we see two phantom interrupts (no handler was invoked), followed by a real interrupt for eth0. Without the tracepoints in this patch we would have missed the phantom interrupts.
