The fields are as follows: +This is split into rcu_sched and rcu_bh sections. The field is as +follows: o "qlen" is the number of RCU callbacks currently waiting either for an RCU grace period or waiting to be invoked. This is the only field present for rcu_sched and rcu_bh, due to the short-circuiting of grace period in those two cases. - -o "gp" is the number of grace periods that have completed. - -o "g197/p197/c197" displays the grace-period state, with the - "g" number being the number of grace periods that have started - (mod 256), the "p" number being the number of grace periods - that the CPU has responded to (also mod 256), and the "c" - number being the number of grace periods that have completed - (once again mode 256). - - Why have both "gp" and "g"? Because the data flowing into - "gp" is only present in a CONFIG_RCU_TRACE kernel. - -o "tasks" is a set of bits. The first bit is "T" if there are - currently tasks that have recently blocked within an RCU - read-side critical section, the second bit is "N" if any of the - aforementioned tasks are blocking the current RCU grace period, - and the third bit is "E" if any of the aforementioned tasks are - blocking the current expedited grace period. Each bit is "." - if the corresponding condition does not hold. - -o "ttb" is a single bit. It is "B" if any of the blocked tasks - need to be priority boosted and "." otherwise. - -o "btg" indicates whether boosting has been carried out during - the current grace period, with "exp" indicating that boosting - is in progress for an expedited grace period, "no" indicating - that boosting has not yet started for a normal grace period, - "begun" indicating that boosting has bebug for a normal grace - period, and "done" indicating that boosting has completed for - a normal grace period. - -o "ntb" is the total number of tasks subjected to RCU priority boosting - periods since boot. - -o "neb" is the number of expedited grace periods that have had - to resort to RCU priority boosting since boot. - -o "nnb" is the number of normal grace periods that have had - to resort to RCU priority boosting since boot. - -o "j" is the low-order 16 bits of the jiffies counter in hexadecimal. - -o "bt" is the low-order 16 bits of the value that the jiffies counter - will have at the next time that boosting is scheduled to begin. - -o In the line beginning with "normal balk", the fields are as follows: - - o "nt" is the number of times that the system balked from - boosting because there were no blocked tasks to boost. - Note that the system will balk from boosting even if the - grace period is overdue when the currently running task - is looping within an RCU read-side critical section. - There is no point in boosting in this case, because - boosting a running task won't make it run any faster. - - o "gt" is the number of times that the system balked - from boosting because, although there were blocked tasks, - none of them were preventing the current grace period - from completing. - - o "bt" is the number of times that the system balked - from boosting because boosting was already in progress. - - o "b" is the number of times that the system balked from - boosting because boosting had already completed for - the grace period in question. - - o "ny" is the number of times that the system balked from - boosting because it was not yet time to start boosting - the grace period in question. - - o "nos" is the number of times that the system balked from - boosting for inexplicable ("not otherwise specified") - reasons. This can actually happen due to races involving - increments of the jiffies counter. - -o In the line beginning with "exp balk", the fields are as follows: - - o "bt" is the number of times that the system balked from - boosting because there were no blocked tasks to boost. - - o "nos" is the number of times that the system balked from - boosting for inexplicable ("not otherwise specified") - reasons.
