An SMI is a + * somewhat special form of hardware interrupt spawned from earlier CPU debug + * modes in which the (BIOS/EFI/etc.) firmware arranges for the South Bridge + * LPC (or other device) to generate a special interrupt under certain + * circumstances, for example, upon expiration of a special SMI timer device, + * due to certain external thermal readings, on certain I/O address accesses, + * and other situations. An SMI hits a special CPU pin, triggers a special + * SMI mode (complete with special memory map), and the OS is unaware. + * + * Although certain hardware-inducing latencies are necessary (for example, + * a modern system often requires an SMI handler for correct thermal control + * and remote management) they can wreak havoc upon any OS-level performance + * guarantees toward low-latency, especially when the OS is not even made + * aware of the presence of these interrupts. For this reason, we need a + * somewhat brute force mechanism to detect these interrupts. In this case, + * we do it by hogging all of the CPU(s) for configurable timer intervals, + * sampling the built-in CPU timer, looking for discontiguous readings. + * + * WARNING: This implementation necessarily introduces latencies. Therefore, + * you should NEVER use this tracer while running in a production + * environment requiring any kind of low-latency performance + * guarantee(s). + * + * Copyright (C) 2008-2009 Jon Masters, Red Hat, Inc. <jcm@redhat.com> + * Copyright (C) 2013-2016 Steven Rostedt, Red Hat, Inc. <srostedt@redhat.com> + * + * Includes useful feedback from Clark Williams <clark@redhat.com> + * + */ +#include <linux/kthread.h> +#include <linux/tracefs.h> +#include <linux/uaccess.h> +#include <linux/cpumask.h> +#include <linux/delay.h> +#include <linux/sched/clock.h> +#include "trace.h" + +static struct trace_array *hwlat_trace; + +#define U64STR_SIZE 22 /* 20 digits max */ + +#define BANNER "hwlat_detector: " +#define DEFAULT_SAMPLE_WINDOW 1000000 /* 1s */ +#define DEFAULT_SAMPLE_WIDTH 500000 /* 0.5s */ +#define DEFAULT_LAT_THRESHOLD 10 /* 10us */ + +/* sampling thread*/ +static struct task_struct *hwlat_kthread; + +static struct dentry *hwlat_sample_width; /* sample width us */ +static struct dentry *hwlat_sample_window; /* sample window us */ + +/* Save the previous tracing_thresh value */ +static unsigned long save_tracing_thresh; + +/* NMI timestamp counters */ +static u64 nmi_ts_start; +static u64 nmi_total_ts; +static int nmi_count; +static int nmi_cpu; + +/* Tells NMIs to call back to the hwlat tracer to record timestamps */ +bool trace_hwlat_callback_enabled; + +/* If the user changed threshold, remember it */ +static u64 last_tracing_thresh = DEFAULT_LAT_THRESHOLD * NSEC_PER_USEC; + +/* Individual latency samples are stored here when detected. */ +struct hwlat_sample { + u64 seqnum; /* unique sequence */ + u64 duration; /* delta */ + u64 outer_duration; /* delta (outer loop) */ + u64 nmi_total_ts; /* Total time spent in NMIs */ + struct timespec64 timestamp; /* wall time */ + int nmi_count; /* # NMIs during this sample */ +}; + +/* keep the global state somewhere. */ +static struct hwlat_data { + + struct mutex lock; /* protect changes */ + + u64 count; /* total since reset */ + + u64 sample_window; /* total sampling window (on+off) */ + u64 sample_width; /* active sampling portion of window */ + +} hwlat_data = { + .sample_window = DEFAULT_SAMPLE_WINDOW, + .sample_width = DEFAULT_SAMPLE_WIDTH, +}; + +static void trace_hwlat_sample(struct hwlat_sample *sample) +{ + struct trace_array *tr = hwlat_trace; + struct trace_event_call *call = &event_hwlat; + struct ring_buffer *buffer = tr->trace_buffer.buffer; + struct ring_buffer_event *event; + struct hwlat_entry *entry; + unsigned long flags; + int pc; + + pc = preempt_count(); + local_save_flags(flags); + + event = trace_buffer_lock_reserve(buffer, TRACE_HWLAT, sizeof(*entry), + flags, pc); + if (!event) + return; + entry = ring_buffer_event_data(event); + entry->seqnum = sample->seqnum; + entry->duration = sample->duration; + entry->outer_duration = sample->outer_duration; + entry->timestamp = sample->timestamp; + entry->nmi_total_ts = sample->nmi_total_ts; + entry->nmi_count = sample->nmi_count; + + if (!call_filter_check_discard(call, entry, buffer, event)) + trace_buffer_unlock_commit_nostack(buffer, event); +} + +/* Macros to encapsulate the time capturing infrastructure */ +#define time_type u64 +#define time_get() trace_clock_local() +#define time_to_us(x) div_u64(x, 1000) +#define time_sub(a, b) ((a) - (b)) +#define init_time(a, b) (a = b) +#define time_u64(a) a + +void trace_hwlat_callback(bool enter) +{ + if (smp_processor_id() != nmi_cpu) + return; + + /* + * Currently trace_clock_local() calls sched_clock() and the + * generic version is not NMI safe. + */ + if (!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_GENERIC_SCHED_CLOCK)) { + if (enter) + nmi_ts_start = time_get(); + else + nmi_total_ts += time_get() - nmi_ts_start; + } + + if (enter) + nmi_count++; +} + +/** + * get_sample - sample the CPU TSC and look for likely hardware latencies + * + * Used to repeatedly capture the CPU TSC (or similar), looking for potential + * hardware-induced latency.
