Pull rv and tools/rtla updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Add a test suite to test the tool
Add a small test suite that can be used to test rtla's basic features
to at least have something to test when applying changes.
- Automate manual steps in monitor creation
While creating a new monitor in RV, besides generating code from
dot2k, there are a few manual steps which can be tedious and error
prone, like adding the tracepoints, makefile lines and kconfig, or
selecting events that start the monitor in the initial state.
Updates were made to try and automate as much as possible among those
steps to make creating a new RV monitor much quicker. It is still
requires to select proper tracepoints, this step is harder to
automate in a general way and, in several cases, would still need
user intervention.
- Have rtla timerlat hist and top set OSNOISE_WORKLOAD flag
Have both rtla-timerlat-hist and rtla-timerlat-top set
OSNOISE_WORKLOAD to the proper value ("on" when running with -k,
"off" when running with -u) every time the option is available
instead of setting it only when running with -u.
This prevents rtla timerlat -k from giving no results when
NO_OSNOISE_WORKLOAD is set, either manually or by an abnormally
exited earlier run of rtla timerlat -u.
- Stop rtla timerlat on signal properly when overloaded
There is an issue where if rtla is run on machines with a high number
of CPUs (100+), timerlat can generate more samples than rtla is able
to process via tracefs_iterate_raw_events. This is especially common
when the interval is set to 100us (rteval and cyclictest default) as
opposed to the rtla default of 1000us, but also happens with the rtla
default.
Currently, this leads to rtla hanging and having to be terminated
with SIGTERM. SIGINT setting stop_tracing is not enough, since more
and more events are coming and tracefs_iterate_raw_events never
exits.
To fix this: Stop the timerlat tracer on SIGINT/SIGALRM to ensure no
more events are generated when rtla is supposed to exit.
Also on receiving SIGINT/SIGALRM twice, abort iteration immediately
with tracefs_iterate_stop, making rtla exit right away instead of
waiting for all events to be processed.
- Account for missed events
Due to tracefs buffer overflow, it can happen that rtla misses
events, making the tracing results inaccurate.
Count both the number of missed events and the total number of
processed events, and display missed events as well as their
percentage. The numbers are displayed for both osnoise and timerlat,
even though for the earlier, missed events are generally not
expected.
For hist, the number is displayed at the end of the run; for top, it
is displayed on each printing of the top table.
- Changes to make osnoise more robust
There was a dependency in the code that the first field of the
osnoise_tool structure was the trace field. If that that ever
changed, then the code work break. Change the code to encapsulate
this dependency where the code that uses the structure does not have
this dependency.

Add osnoise_report_missed_events to be used to report the number
of missed events either during or after an osnoise or timerlat run.
Also, display the percentage of missed events compared to the total
number of received events.
If an unknown number of missed events was reported during the run, the
entire number of missed events is reported as unknown.

Add a field processed_events to struct trace_instance and increment it

Add function collect_missed_events to trace.c to act as a callback for
tracefs_follow_missed_events, summing the number of total missed events
into a new field missing_events of struct trace_instance.
In case record->missed_events is negative, trace->missed_events is set
to UINT64_MAX to signify an unknown number of events was missed.
The callback is activated on initialization of the trace instance.

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.

When using rtla timerlat with userspace threads (-u or -U), rtla

If either SIGINT is received twice, or after a SIGALRM (that is, after
timerlat was supposed to stop), abort processing events currently left
in the tracefs buffer and exit immediately.
This allows the user to exit rtla without waiting for processing all
events, should that take longer than wanted, at the cost of not
processing all samples.

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.

rtla timerlat hist currently computers the minimum, maximum and average
latency even in cases when there are zero samples. This leads to
nonsensical values being calculated for maximum and minimum, and to
divide by zero for average.
A similar bug is fixed by 01b05fc0e5f3 ("rtla/timerlat: Fix histogram
report when a cpu count is 0") but the bug still remains for printing
the sum over all CPUs in timerlat_print_stats_all.
The issue can be reproduced with this command:
$ rtla timerlat hist -U -d 1s
Index
over:
count:
min:
avg:
max:
Floating point exception (core dumped)
(There are always no samples with -U unless the user workload is
created.)
Fix the bug by omitting max/min/avg when sample count is zero,
displaying a dash instead, just like we already do for the individual
CPUs. The logic is moved into a new function called
format_summary_value, which is used for both the individual CPUs
and for the overall summary.

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.

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.

Commit e9a4062e1527 ("rtla: Add --trace-buffer-size option") adds a new
long option to rtla utilities, but among all affected files,
timerlat_hist misses a trailing `:` in the corresponding short option
inside the getopt string (e.g. `\3:`). This patch propagates the `:`.
Although this change is not functionally required, it improves
consistency and slightly reduces the likelihood a future change would
introduce a problem.

If the "tool->data" allocation fails then there is no need to call
osnoise_free_top() and, in fact, doing so will lead to a NULL dereference.

When osnoise hist does not observe any samples above the threshold,
no entries are recorded and the final report shows empty entries
for the usual statistics (count, min, max, avg):
[~]# osnoise hist -d 5s -T 500
# RTLA osnoise histogram
# Time unit is microseconds (us)
# Duration: 0 00:00:05
Index
over:
count:
min:
avg:
max:
That could lead users to confusing interpretations of the results.
A simple solution is to report 0 for count and the statistics, making it
clear that no noise (above the defined threshold) was observed:
[~]# osnoise hist -d 5s -T 500
# RTLA osnoise histogram
# Time unit is microseconds (us)
# Duration: 0 00:00:05
Index
over: 0

osnoise top performs background/font color formatting that could make
the text output confusing if not on a terminal. Use the changes from
commit f5c0cdad6684a ("rtla/timerlat: Use pretty formatting only on
interactive tty") as an inspiration to fix this problem.
Apply the formatting only if running on a tty, and not in quiet mode.

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"

Add the option allow the users to set a different buffer size for the
trace. For example, in large systems, the user might be interested on
reducing the trace buffer to avoid large tracing files.
The buffer size is specified in kB, and it is only affecting
the tracing instance.
The function trace_set_buffer_size() appears on libtracefs v1.6,
so increase the minimum required version on Makefile.config.

After ther -u addition, most of the known users are setting it. And
it makes sense, as it adds more information, and inherits the default
setup for the threads - e.g., cgroups configs.
Thus, if the user-space interface is available, enable -u. Otherwise,
use the in-kernel thread.
Add the -k option to allow the user to request kernel-threads.

On many cases, the results right after the startup are different
from the rest of the execution, biasing the results. For example,
on osnoise, the scheduler might take some time to adapt to the new
busy-loop workload.
Add the --warm-up <seconds> option, adding a warm-up phase (in
seconds) where the workload is set, but the results are discarded.

timerlat top does some background/font color formatting. While useful
on terminal, it breaks the output on other formats. For example, when
piping the output for pastebin tools, the format strings are printed
as characters. For instance:
[2;37;40m Timer Latency [0;0;0m
0 00:00:01 | IRQ Timer Latency (us) | Thread Timer Latency (us)
[2;30;47mCPU COUNT | cur min avg max | cur min avg max[0;0;0m
0 #1013 | 1 0 1 54 | 5 2 4 57
1 #1013 | 3 0 1 10 | 6 2 4 15
To avoid this problem, do the formatting only if running on a tty,
and in !quiet mode.

Instead of printing three times the same output, print it only once,
reducing lines and being sure that all no values have the same length.
It also fixes an extra '\n' when running the with kernel threads, like
here:
=============== %< ==============

0 00:00:01 | IRQ Timer Latency (us) | Thread Timer Latency (us)
CPU COUNT | cur min avg max | cur min avg max
2 #0 | - - - - | 161 161 161 161
3 #0 | - - - - | 161 161 161 161

---------------|----------------------------------------|---------------------------------------
ALL #1 e0 | 54 54 54 | 161 161 161
=============== %< ==============
This '\n' should have been removed with the user-space support that
added another '\n' if not running with kernel threads.

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.

Use tools/build/ makefiles to build rtla, inheriting the benefits of
it. For example, having a proper way to handle dependencies.
rtla is built using perf infra-structure when building inside the
kernel tree.
At this point, rtla diverges from perf in two points: Documentation
and tarball generation/build.
At the documentation level, rtla is one step ahead, placing the
documentation at Documentation/tools/rtla/, using the same build
tools as kernel documentation. The idea is to move perf
documentation to the same scheme and then share the same makefiles.
rtla has a tarball target that the (old) RHEL8 uses. The tarball was
kept using a simple standalone makefile for compatibility. The
standalone makefile shares most of the code, e.g., flags, with
regular buildings.
The tarball method was set as deprecated. If necessary, we can make
a rtla tarball like perf, which includes the entire tools/build.
But this would also require changes in the user side (the directory
structure changes, and probably the deps to build the package).
Inspired on perf and objtool.

This is a legit warning, but data->bucket_size is always > 0 (see
timerlat_hist_parse_args()), so the if is not necessary.
Remove the unneeded if (data->bucket_size) to avoid the warning.

Variable found is not being initialized, in the case where the desired
mount is not found the variable contains garbage. Fix this by initializing
it to zero.

If no CPU list is passed, timerlat in user-space will dispatch
one thread per sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_CONF). However, not all
CPU might be available, for instance, if HT is disabled.
Currently, rtla timerlat is stopping the session if an user-space
thread cannot set affinity to a CPU, or if a running user-space
thread is killed. However, this is too restrictive.
So, reduce the error to a debug message, and rtla timerlat run as
long as there is at least one user-space thread alive.

sample
timerlat auto-analysis takes note of all IRQs, before or after the
execution of the timerlat thread.
Because we cannot go backward in the trace (we will fix it when
moving to trace-cmd lib?), timerlat aa take note of the last IRQ
execution in the waiting for the IRQ state, and then print it
if it is executed after the expected timer IRQ starting time.
After the thread sample, the timerlat starts recording the next IRQs as
"previous" irq for the next occurrence.
However, if an IRQ happens after the thread measurement but before the
tracing stops, it is classified as a previous IRQ. That is not
wrong, as it can be "previous" for the subsequent activation. What is
wrong is considering it as a potential source for the last activation.
Ignore the IRQ interference that happens after the IRQ starting time for
now. A future improvement for timerlat can be either keeping a list of
previous IRQ execution or using the trace-cmd library. Still, it requires
further investigation - it is a new feature.
