Now, there are the following files:

edac_module.c The main module init/exit function and other overhead

edac_mc_sysfs.c Code handling for sysfs presentation

edac_core.h CORE .h include file for 'edac_mc' and 'edac_device' drivers

17 years agolockstat: core infrastructure
Peter Zijlstra [Thu, 19 Jul 2007 08:48:56 +0000 (01:48 -0700)]
lockstat: core infrastructure

Introduce the core lock statistics code.

Lock statistics provides lock wait-time and hold-time (as well as the count
of corresponding contention and acquisitions events). Also, the first few
call-sites that encounter contention are tracked.

Lock wait-time is the time spent waiting on the lock. This provides insight
into the locking scheme, that is, a heavily contended lock is indicative of
a too coarse locking scheme.

Lock hold-time is the duration the lock was held, this provides a reference for
the wait-time numbers, so they can be put into perspective.

  1)
    lock
  2)
    ... do stuff ..
    unlock
  3)

The time between 1 and 2 is the wait-time. The time between 2 and 3 is the
hold-time.

The lockdep held-lock tracking code is reused, because it already collects locks
into meaningful groups (classes), and because it is an existing infrastructure
for lock instrumentation.

Currently lockdep tracks lock acquisition with two hooks:

  lock()
    lock_acquire()
    _lock()

 ... code protected by lock ...

  unlock()
    lock_release()
    _unlock()

We need to extend this with two more hooks, in order to measure contention.

  lock_contended() - used to measure contention events
  lock_acquired()  - completion of the contention

These are then placed the following way:

  lock()
    lock_acquire()
    if (!_try_lock())
      lock_contended()
      _lock()
      lock_acquired()

 ... do locked stuff ...

  unlock()
    lock_release()
    _unlock()

(Note: the try_lock() 'trick' is used to avoid instrumenting all platform
       dependent lock primitive implementations.)

It is also possible to toggle the two lockdep features at runtime using:

  /proc/sys/kernel/prove_locking
  /proc/sys/kernel/lock_stat

(esp. turning off the O(n^2) prove_locking functionaliy can help)

17 years agofix raw_spinlock_t vs lockdep
Peter Zijlstra [Thu, 19 Jul 2007 08:48:53 +0000 (01:48 -0700)]
fix raw_spinlock_t vs lockdep

Use the lockdep infrastructure to track lock contention and other lock
statistics.

It tracks lock contention events, and the first four unique call-sites that
encountered contention.

It also measures lock wait-time and hold-time in nanoseconds. The minimum and
maximum times are tracked, as well as a total (which together with the number
of event can give the avg).

All statistics are done per lock class, per write (exclusive state) and per read
(shared state).

The statistics are collected per-cpu, so that the collection overhead is
minimized via having no global cachemisses.

This new lock statistics feature is independent of the lock dependency checking
traditionally done by lockdep; it just shares the lock tracking code. It is
also possible to enable both and runtime disabled either component - thereby
avoiding the O(n^2) lock chain walks for instance.

This patch:

raw_spinlock_t should not use lockdep (and doesn't) since lockdep itself
relies on it.

Noticed all warnings are occurs when the debug level is 0. Then found
the "jbd2: Move jbd2-debug file to debugfs" patch
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=0f49d5d019afa4e94253bfc92f0daca3badb990b

changed the jbd2_journal_enable_debug from int type to u8, makes the
jbd_debug comparision is always true when the debugging level is 0. Thus
the compile warning occurs.

Thought about changing the jbd2_journal_enable_debug data type back to
int, but can't, because the jbd2-debug is moved to debug fs, where
calling debugfs_create_u8() to create the debugfs entry needs the value
to be u8 type.

Even if we changed the data type back to int, the code is still buggy,
kernel should not print jbd2 debug message if the
jbd2_journal_enable_debug is set to 0. But this is not the case.

The fix is change the level of debugging to 1. The same should fixed in
ext3/JBD, but currently ext3 jbd-debug via /proc fs is broken, so we
probably should fix it all together.

17 years agocoredump masking: bound suid_dumpable sysctl
Kawai, Hidehiro [Thu, 19 Jul 2007 08:48:26 +0000 (01:48 -0700)]
coredump masking: bound suid_dumpable sysctl

This patch series is version 5 of the core dump masking feature, which
controls which VMAs should be dumped based on their memory types and
per-process flags.

I adopted most of Andrew's suggestion at the previous version.  He also
suggested using system call instead of /proc/<pid>/ interface, I decided to
use the latter continuously because adding new system call with pid argument
will give a big impact on the kernel.

You can access the per-process flags via /proc/<pid>/coredump_filter
interface.  coredump_filter represents a bitmask of memory types, and if a bit
is set, VMAs of corresponding memory type are written into a core file when
the process is dumped.  The bitmask is inherited from the parent process when
a process is created.

The original purpose is to avoid longtime system slowdown when a number of
processes which share a huge shared memory are dumped at the same time.  To
achieve this purpose, this patch series adds an ability to suppress dumping
anonymous shared memory for specified processes.  In this version, three other
memory types are also supported.

Here are the coredump_filter bits:
  bit 0: anonymous private memory
  bit 1: anonymous shared memory
  bit 2: file-backed private memory
  bit 3: file-backed shared memory

The default value of coredump_filter is 0x3.  This means the new core dump
routine has the same behavior as conventional behavior by default.

In this version, coredump_filter bits and mm.dumpable are merged into
mm.flags, and it is accessed by atomic bitops.

The supported core file formats are ELF and ELF-FDPIC.  ELF has been tested,
but ELF-FDPIC has not been built and tested because I don't have the test
environment.

This patch limits a value of suid_dumpable sysctl to the range of 0 to 2.
