| * sched_clock: Add local_clock() API and improve documentationPeter Zijlstra2010-06-091-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For people who otherwise get to write: cpu_clock(smp_processor_id()), there is now: local_clock(). Also, as per suggestion from Andrew, provide some documentation on the various clock interfaces, and minimize the unsigned long long vs u64 mess.

* | tracing: Remove ftrace_preempt_disable/enableSteven Rostedt2010-06-031-3/+2
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The ftrace_preempt_disable/enable functions were to address a recursive race caused by the function tracer. The function tracer traces all functions which makes it easily susceptible to recursion. One area was preempt_enable(). This would call the scheduler and the schedulre would call the function tracer and loop. (So was it thought). The ftrace_preempt_disable/enable was made to protect against recursion inside the scheduler by storing the NEED_RESCHED flag. If it was set before the ftrace_preempt_disable() it would not call schedule on ftrace_preempt_enable(), thinking that if it was set before then it would have already scheduled unless it was already in the scheduler. This worked fine except in the case of SMP, where another task would set the NEED_RESCHED flag for a task on another CPU, and then kick off an IPI to trigger it. This could cause the NEED_RESCHED to be saved at ftrace_preempt_disable() but the IPI to arrive in the the preempt disabled section. The ftrace_preempt_enable() would not call the scheduler because the flag was already set before entring the section. This bug would cause a missed preemption check and cause lower latencies. Investigating further, I found that the recusion caused by the function tracer was not due to schedule(), but due to preempt_schedule(). Now that preempt_schedule is completely annotated with notrace, the recusion no longer is an issue.

* tracing: Include irqflags headers from trace clockFrederic Weisbecker2010-02-281-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | trace_clock.c includes spinlock.h, which ends up including asm/system.h, which in turn includes linux/irqflags.h in x86. So the definition of raw_local_irq_save is luckily covered there, but this is not the case in parisc: tip/kernel/trace/trace_clock.c:86: error: implicit declaration of function 'raw_local_irq_save' tip/kernel/trace/trace_clock.c:112: error: implicit declaration of function 'raw_local_irq_restore' We need to include linux/irqflags.h directly from trace_clock.c to avoid such build error.

* locking: Convert raw_spinlock to arch_spinlockThomas Gleixner2009-12-141-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The raw_spin* namespace was taken by lockdep for the architecture specific implementations. raw_spin_* would be the ideal name space for the spinlocks which are not converted to sleeping locks in preempt-rt. Linus suggested to convert the raw_ to arch_ locks and cleanup the name space instead of using an artifical name like core_spin, atomic_spin or whatever No functional change.

* tracing: do not disable interrupts for trace_clock_localSteven Rostedt2009-11-111-3/+5

Using perf top we see: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ PerfTop: 244 irqs/sec kernel:100.0% [1000Hz cpu-clock-msecs], (all, 4 CPUs) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ samples pcnt kernel function _______ _____ _______________ 2842.00 - 40.4% : trace_clock_local 1043.00 - 14.8% : rb_reserve_next_event 784.00 - 11.1% : ring_buffer_lock_reserve 600.00 - 8.5% : __rb_reserve_next 579.00 - 8.2% : rb_end_commit 440.00 - 6.3% : ring_buffer_unlock_commit 290.00 - 4.1% : ring_buffer_producer_thread [ring_buffer_benchmark] 155.00 - 2.2% : debug_smp_processor_id 117.00 - 1.7% : trace_recursive_unlock 103.00 - 1.5% : ring_buffer_event_data 28.00 - 0.4% : do_gettimeofday 22.00 - 0.3% : _spin_unlock_irq 14.00 - 0.2% : native_read_tsc 11.00 - 0.2% : getnstimeofday Where trace_clock_local is 40% of the tracing, and the time for recording a trace according to ring_buffer_benchmark is 210ns. After converting the interrupts to preemption disabling we have from perf top: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ PerfTop: 1084 irqs/sec kernel:99.9% [1000Hz cpu-clock-msecs], (all, 4 CPUs) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ samples pcnt kernel function _______ _____ _______________ 1277.00 - 16.8% : native_read_tsc 1148.00 - 15.1% : rb_reserve_next_event 896.00 - 11.8% : ring_buffer_lock_reserve 688.00 - 9.1% : __rb_reserve_next 664.00 - 8.8% : rb_end_commit 563.00 - 7.4% : ring_buffer_unlock_commit 508.00 - 6.7% : _spin_unlock_irq 365.00 - 4.8% : debug_smp_processor_id 321.00 - 4.2% : trace_clock_local 303.00 - 4.0% : ring_buffer_producer_thread [ring_buffer_benchmark] 273.00 - 3.6% : native_sched_clock 122.00 - 1.6% : trace_recursive_unlock 113.00 - 1.5% : sched_clock 101.00 - 1.3% : ring_buffer_event_data 53.00 - 0.7% : tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick Where trace_clock_local drops from 40% to only taking 4% of the total time. The trace time also goes from 210ns down to 179ns (31ns). I talked with Peter Zijlstra about the impact that sched_clock may have without having interrupts disabled, and he told me that if a timer interrupt comes in, sched_clock may report a wrong time. Balancing a seldom incorrect timestamp with a 15% performance boost, I'll take the performance boost.

* tracing: implement trace_clock_*() APIsIngo Molnar2009-02-261-0/+101
Impact: implement new tracing timestamp APIs Add three trace clock variants, with differing scalability/precision tradeoffs: - local: CPU-local trace clock - medium: scalable global clock with some jitter - global: globally monotonic, serialized clock Make the ring-buffer use the local trace clock internally.
