2025-05-07rtla: Set distinctive exit value for failed testsCosta Shulyupin
A test is considered failed when a sample trace exceeds the threshold. Failed tests return the same exit code as passed tests, requiring test frameworks to determine the result by searching for "hit stop tracing" in the output. Assign a distinct exit code for failed tests to enable the use of shell expressions and seamless integration with testing frameworks without the need to parse output. Add enum type for return value. Update `make check`. Cc: Daniel Bristot de Oliveira <bristot@kernel.org> Cc: John Kacur <jkacur@redhat.com> Cc: "Luis Claudio R.

2025-03-26rtla: Unify apply_config between top and histTomas Glozar
The functions osnoise_top_apply_config and osnoise_hist_apply_config, as well as timerlat_top_apply_config and timerlat_hist_apply_config, are mostly the same. Move common part from them into separate functions osnoise_apply_config and timerlat_apply_config. For rtla-timerlat, also unify params->user_hist and params->user_top into one field called params->user_data, and move several fields used only by timerlat-top into the top-only section of struct timerlat_params.

2025-03-26rtla: Fix segfault in save_trace_to_file callTomas Glozar
Running rtla with exit on threshold, but without saving trace leads to a segmenetation fault: $ rtla timerlat hist -T 10 ... Max timerlat IRQ latency from idle: 4.29 us in cpu 0 Segmentation fault This is caused by null pointer deference in the call of save_trace_to_file, which attempts to dereference an uninitialized osnoise_tool variable: save_trace_to_file(record->trace.inst, params->trace_output); ^ this is uninitialized if params->trace_output is not set Fix this by not attempting to dereference "record" if it is NULL and passing NULL instead. As a safety measure, the first field is also checked for NULL inside save_trace_to_file.

2025-03-04rtla/timerlat_top: Use BPF to collect samplesTomas Glozar
Collect samples using BPF program instead of pulling them from tracefs. If the osnoise:timerlat_sample tracepoint is unavailable or the BPF program fails to load for whatever reason, rtla falls back to the old implementation. The collection of samples using the BPF program is fully self-contained and requires no activity of the userspace part of rtla during the measurement. Thus, rtla only pulls the summary from the BPF map and displays it every second, improving the performance. In --aa-only mode, the BPF program does not collect any data and only signalizes the end of tracing to userspace. An optimization that re-used the main trace instance for auto-analysis in aa-only mode was dropped, as rtla no longer turns tracing on in the main trace instance, making it useless for auto-analysis.

2025-01-24tools/rtla: Add osnoise_trace_is_off()Costa Shulyupin
All of the users of trace_is_off() passes in &record->trace as the second parameter, where record is a pointer to a struct osnoise_tool. This record could be NULL and there is a hidden dependency that the trace field is the first field to allow &record->trace to work with a NULL record pointer. In order to make this code a bit more robust, as record shouldn't be dereferenced if it is NULL, even if the code does work, create a new function called osnoise_trace_is_off() that takes the pointer to a struct osnoise_tool as its second parameter. This way it can properly test if it is NULL before it dereferences it. The old function trace_is_off() is removed and the function osnoise_trace_is_off() is added into osnoise.c which is what the struct osnoise_tool is associated with.

2025-01-24rtla/timerlat_top: Set OSNOISE_WORKLOAD for kernel threadsTomas Glozar
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.

2025-01-24rtla/timerlat_top: Stop timerlat tracer on signalTomas Glozar
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.

2024-11-19rtla/timerlat: Do not set params->user_workload with -UTomas Glozar
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.

2024-10-11rtla/timerlat: Make timerlat_top_cpu->*_count unsigned long longTomas Glozar
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.

2024-05-16rtla: Fix -t\--trace[=file]John Kacur
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 <bristot@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: John Kacur <jkacur@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel Bristot de Oliveira <bristot@kernel.org>

2024-03-20tools/rtla: Add -U/--user-load option to timerlatDaniel Bristot de Oliveira
The timerlat tracer provides an interface for any application to wait for the timerlat's periodic wakeup. Currently, rtla timerlat uses it to dispatch its user-space workload (-u option). But as the tracer interface is generic, rtla timerlat can also be used to monitor any workload that uses it. For example, a user might place their own workload to wait on the tracer interface, and monitor the results with rtla timerlat. Add the -U option to rtla timerlat top and hist. With this option, rtla timerlat will not dispatch its workload but only setting up the system, waiting for a user to dispatch its workload. The sample code in this patch is an example of python application that loops in the timerlat tracer fd. To use it, dispatch: # rtla timerlat -U In a terminal, then run the python program on another terminal, specifying the CPU to run it. For example, setting on CPU 1: #./timerlat_load.py 1 Then rtla timerlat will start printing the statistics of the ./timerlat_load.py app. An interesting point is that the "Ret user Timer Latency" value is the overall response time of the load. The sample load does a memory copy to exemplify that. The stop tracing options on rtla timerlat works in this setup as well, including auto analysis.

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.

2023-06-13rtla/timerlat: Give timerlat auto analysis its own instanceDaniel Bristot de Oliveira
Currently, the auto-analysis is attached to the timerlat top instance. The idea was to avoid creating another instance just for that, so one instance could be reused. The drawback is that, by doing so, the auto-analysis run for the entire session, consuming CPU time. On my 24 box CPUs for timerlat with a 100 us period consumed 50 % with auto analysis, but only 16 % without. By creating an instance for auto-analysis, we can keep the processing stopped until a stop tracing condition is hit. Once it happens, timerlat auto-analysis can use its own trace instance to parse only the end of the trace. By doing so, auto-analysis stop consuming cpu time when it is not needed. If the --aa-only is passed, the timerlat top instance is reused for auto analysis.

Parsing and formating timerlat data might consume a reasonable amount of CPU time on very large systems, or when timerlat has a too short period. Add an option to run timerlat with auto-analysis enabled while skipping the statistics parsing. In this mode, rtla timerlat periodically checks if the tracing is on, going to sleep waiting for the stop tracing condition to stop tracing, or for the tracing session to finish. If the stop tracing condition is hit, the tool prints the auto analysis. Otherwise, the tool prints the max observed latency and exit. The max observed latency is captured via tracing_max_latency.

2023-02-02rtla/timerlat: Add auto-analysis support to timerlat topDaniel Bristot de Oliveira
Currently, timerlat top displays the timerlat tracer latency results, saving the intuitive timerlat trace for the developer to analyze. This patch goes a step forward in the automaton of the scheduling latency analysis by providing a summary of the root cause of a latency higher than the passed "stop tracing" parameter if the trace stops. The output is intuitive enough for non-expert users to have a general idea of the root cause by looking at each factor's contribution percentage while keeping the technical detail in the output for more expert users to start an in dept debug or to correlate a root cause with an existing one. The terminology is in line with recent industry and academic publications to facilitate the understanding of both audiences. Here is one example of tool output: ----------------------------------------- %< ----------------------------------------------------- # taskset -c 0 timerlat -a 40 -c 1-23 -q Timer Latency 0 00:00:12 | IRQ Timer Latency (us) | Thread Timer Latency (us) CPU COUNT | cur min avg max | cur min avg max 1 #12322 | 0 0 1 15 | 10 3 9 31 2 #12322 | 3 0 1 12 | 10 3 9 23 3 #12322 | 1 0 1 21 | 8 2 8 34 4 #12322 | 1 0 1 17 | 10 2 11 33 5 #12322 | 0 0 1 12 | 8 3 8 25 6 #12322 | 1 0 1 14 | 16 3 11 35 7 #12322 | 0 0 1 14 | 9 2 8 29 8 #12322 | 1 0 1 22 | 9 3 9 34 9 #12322 | 0 0 1 14 | 8 2 8 24 10 #12322 | 1 0 0 12 | 9 3 8 24 11 #12322 | 0 0 0 15 | 6 2 7 29 12 #12321 | 1 0 0 13 | 5 3 8 23 13 #12319 | 0 0 1 14 | 9 3 9 26 14 #12321 | 1 0 0 13 | 6 2 8 24 15 #12321 | 1 0 1 15 | 12 3 11 27 16 #12318 | 0 0 1 13 | 7 3 10 24 17 #12319 | 0 0 1 13 | 11 3 9 25 18 #12318 | 0 0 0 12 | 8 2 8 20 19 #12319 | 0 0 1 18 | 10 2 9 28 20 #12317 | 0 0 0 20 | 9 3 8 34 21 #12318 | 0 0 0 13 | 8 3 8 28 22 #12319 | 0 0 1 11 | 8 3 10 22 23 #12320 | 28 0 1 28 | 41 3 11 41 rtla timerlat hit stop tracing ## CPU 23 hit stop tracing, analyzing it ## IRQ handler delay: 27.49 us (65.52 %) IRQ latency: 28.13 us Timerlat IRQ duration: 9.59 us (22.85 %) Blocking thread: 3.79 us (9.03 %) objtool:49256 3.79 us Blocking thread stacktrace -> timerlat_irq -> __hrtimer_run_queues -> hrtimer_interrupt -> __sysvec_apic_timer_interrupt -> sysvec_apic_timer_interrupt -> asm_sysvec_apic_timer_interrupt -> _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore -> cgroup_rstat_flush_locked -> cgroup_rstat_flush_irqsafe -> mem_cgroup_flush_stats -> mem_cgroup_wb_stats -> balance_dirty_pages -> balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited_flags -> btrfs_buffered_write -> btrfs_do_write_iter -> vfs_write -> __x64_sys_pwrite64 -> do_syscall_64 -> entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thread latency: 41.96 us (100%) The system has exit from idle latency!

rtla osnoise and timerlat are causing a segmentation fault when running with the --trace option on a kernel that does not support multiple instances. For example: [root@f34 rtla]# rtla osnoise top -t failed to enable the tracer osnoise Could not enable osnoiser tracer for tracing Failed to enable the trace instance Segmentation fault (core dumped) This error happens because the exit code of the tools is trying to destroy the trace instance that failed to be created. Make osnoise_destroy_tool() aware of possible NULL osnoise_tool *, and do not attempt to destroy it. This also simplifies the exit code.

2022-01-13rtla: Add timerlat tool and timelart top modeDaniel Bristot de Oliveira
The rtla timerlat tool is an interface for the timerlat tracer. The timerlat tracer dispatches a kernel thread per-cpu. These threads set a periodic timer to wake themselves up and go back to sleep. After the wakeup, they collect and generate useful information for the debugging of operating system timer latency. The timerlat tracer outputs information in two ways. It periodically prints the timer latency at the timer IRQ handler and the Thread handler. It also provides information for each noise via the osnoise tracepoints. The rtla timerlat top mode displays a summary of the periodic output from the timerlat tracer. Here is one example of the rtla timerlat tool output: ---------- %< ---------- [root@alien ~]# rtla timerlat top -c 0-3 -d 1m Timer Latency 0 00:01:00 | IRQ Timer Latency (us) | Thread Timer Latency (us) CPU COUNT | cur min avg max | cur min avg max 0 #60001 | 0 0 0 3 | 1 1 1 6 1 #60001 | 0 0 0 3 | 2 1 1 5 2 #60001 | 0 0 1 6 | 1 1 2 7 3 #60001 | 0 0 0 7 | 1 1 1 11 ---------- >% ---------- Running: # rtla timerlat --help # rtla timerlat top --help provides information about the available options.
