locking/lock_events: Make lock_events available for all archs & other locks

2019-04-10T08:56:04+00:00

The QUEUED_LOCK_STAT option to report queued spinlocks event counts
was previously allowed only on x86 architecture. To make the locking
event counting code more useful, it is now renamed to a more generic
LOCK_EVENT_COUNTS config option. This new option will be available to
all the architectures that use qspinlock at the moment.

Other locking code can now start to use the generic locking event
counting code by including lock_events.h and put the new locking event
names into the lock_events_list.h header file.

My experience with lock event counting is that it gives valuable insight
on how the locking code works and what can be done to make it better. I
would like to extend this benefit to other locking code like mutex and
rwsem in the near future.

The PV qspinlock specific code will stay in qspinlock_stat.h. The
locking event counters will now reside in the /lock_event_counts
directory.

locking/qspinlock_stat: Introduce generic lockevent_*() counting APIs

2019-04-10T08:56:03+00:00

The percpu event counts used by qspinlock code can be useful for
other locking code as well. So a new set of lockevent_* counting APIs
is introduced with the lock event names extracted out into the new
lock_events_list.h header file for easier addition in the future.

The existing qstat_inc() calls are replaced by either lockevent_inc() or
lockevent_cond_inc() calls.

The qstat_hop() call is renamed to lockevent_pv_hop(). The "reset_counters"
debugfs file is also renamed to ".reset_counts".

locking/qspinlock_stat: Track the no MCS node available case

2019-02-04T08:03:30+00:00

Track the number of slowpath locking operations that are being done
without any MCS node available as well renaming lock_index[123] to make
them more descriptive.

Using these stat counters is one way to find out if a code path is
being exercised.

locking/qspinlock_stat: Count instances of nested lock slowpaths

2018-10-17T06:37:31+00:00

Queued spinlock supports up to 4 levels of lock slowpath nesting -
user context, soft IRQ, hard IRQ and NMI. However, we are not sure how
often the nesting happens.

So add 3 more per-CPU stat counters to track the number of instances where
nesting index goes to 1, 2 and 3 respectively.

On a dual-socket 64-core 128-thread Zen server, the following were the
new stat counter values under different circumstances:

         State                         slowpath   index1   index2   index3
         -----                         --------   ------   ------   -------
  After bootup                         1,012,150    82       0        0
  After parallel build + perf-top    125,195,009    82       0        0

So the chance of having more than 2 levels of nesting is extremely low.

locking/qspinlock: Add stat tracking for pending vs. slowpath

2018-04-27T07:48:53+00:00

Currently, the qspinlock_stat code tracks only statistical counts in the
PV qspinlock code. However, it may also be useful to track the number
of locking operations done via the pending code vs. the MCS lock queue
slowpath for the non-PV case.

The qspinlock stat code is modified to do that. The stat counter
pv_lock_slowpath is renamed to lock_slowpath so that it can be used by
both the PV and non-PV cases.

We are going to split  out of , which

Create a trivial placeholder  file that just
maps to  to make this patch obviously correct and
bisectable.

locking/pvstat: Separate wait_again and spurious wakeup stats

2016-08-10T12:16:02+00:00

Currently there are overlap in the pvqspinlock wait_again and
spurious_wakeup stat counters. Because of lock stealing, it is
no longer possible to accurately determine if spurious wakeup has
happened in the queue head.  As they track both the queue node and
queue head status, it is also hard to tell how many of those comes
from the queue head and how many from the queue node.

This patch changes the accounting rules so that spurious wakeup is
only tracked in the queue node. The wait_again count, however, is
only tracked in the queue head when the vCPU failed to acquire the
lock after a vCPU kick. This should give a much better indication of
the wait-kick dynamics in the queue node and the queue head.

locking/pvqspinlock: Fix a bug in qstat_read()

2016-08-10T12:13:29+00:00

It's obviously wrong to set stat to NULL. So lets remove it.
Otherwise it is always zero when we check the latency of kick/wake.
