2019-04-10locking/lock_events: Make lock_events available for all archs & other locksWaiman Long1-129/+12
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 <debugfs>/lock_event_counts directory.

2019-04-10locking/qspinlock_stat: Introduce generic lockevent_*() counting APIsWaiman Long1-101/+62
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".

2018-10-17locking/qspinlock_stat: Count instances of nested lock slowpathsWaiman Long1-0/+6
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.

2018-04-27locking/qspinlock: Add stat tracking for pending vs. slowpathWaiman Long1-3/+6
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.

2016-08-10locking/pvstat: Separate wait_again and spurious wakeup statsWaiman Long1-2/+2
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.

2015-12-04locking/pvqspinlock: Queue node adaptive spinningWaiman Long1-0/+3
In an overcommitted guest where some vCPUs have to be halted to make forward progress in other areas, it is highly likely that a vCPU later in the spinlock queue will be spinning while the ones earlier in the queue would have been halted. The spinning in the later vCPUs is then just a waste of precious CPU cycles because they are not going to get the lock soon as the earlier ones have to be woken up and take their turn to get the lock. This patch implements an adaptive spinning mechanism where the vCPU will call pv_wait() if the previous vCPU is not running. Linux kernel builds were run in KVM guest on an 8-socket, 4 cores/socket Westmere-EX system and a 4-socket, 8 cores/socket Haswell-EX system. Both systems are configured to have 32 physical CPUs. The kernel build times before and after the patch were: Westmere Haswell Patch 32 vCPUs 48 vCPUs 32 vCPUs 48 vCPUs ----- -------- -------- -------- -------- Before patch 3m02.3s 5m00.2s 1m43.7s 3m03.5s After patch 3m03.0s 4m37.5s 1m43.0s 2m47.2s For 32 vCPUs, this patch doesn't cause any noticeable change in performance. For 48 vCPUs (over-committed), there is about 8% performance improvement.

2015-12-04locking/pvqspinlock: Allow limited lock stealingWaiman Long1-0/+16
This patch allows one attempt for the lock waiter to steal the lock when entering the PV slowpath. To prevent lock starvation, the pending bit will be set by the queue head vCPU when it is in the active lock spinning loop to disable any lock stealing attempt. This helps to reduce the performance penalty caused by lock waiter preemption while not having much of the downsides of a real unfair lock. The pv_wait_head() function was renamed as pv_wait_head_or_lock() as it was modified to acquire the lock before returning. This is necessary because of possible lock stealing attempts from other tasks. Linux kernel builds were run in KVM guest on an 8-socket, 4 cores/socket Westmere-EX system and a 4-socket, 8 cores/socket Haswell-EX system. Both systems are configured to have 32 physical CPUs. The kernel build times before and after the patch were: Westmere Haswell Patch 32 vCPUs 48 vCPUs 32 vCPUs 48 vCPUs ----- -------- -------- -------- -------- Before patch 3m15.6s 10m56.1s 1m44.1s 5m29.1s After patch 3m02.3s 5m00.2s 1m43.7s 3m03.5s For the overcommited case (48 vCPUs), this patch is able to reduce kernel build time by more than 54% for Westmere and 44% for Haswell.

2015-12-04locking/pvqspinlock: Collect slowpath lock statisticsWaiman Long1-0/+281
This patch enables the accumulation of kicking and waiting related PV qspinlock statistics when the new QUEUED_LOCK_STAT configuration option is selected. It also enables the collection of data which enable us to calculate the kicking and wakeup latencies which have a heavy dependency on the CPUs being used. The statistical counters are per-cpu variables to minimize the performance overhead in their updates. These counters are exported via the debugfs filesystem under the qlockstat directory. When the corresponding debugfs files are read, summation and computing of the required data are then performed. The measured latencies for different CPUs are: CPU Wakeup Kicking --- ------ ------- Haswell-EX 63.6us 7.4us Westmere-EX 67.6us 9.3us The measured latencies varied a bit from run-to-run. The wakeup latency is much higher than the kicking latency. A sample of statistical counters after system bootup (with vCPU overcommit) was: pv_hash_hops=1.00 pv_kick_unlock=1148 pv_kick_wake=1146 pv_latency_kick=11040 pv_latency_wake=194840 pv_spurious_wakeup=7 pv_wait_again=4 pv_wait_head=23 pv_wait_node=1129 Signed-off-by: Waiman Long <Waiman.Long@hpe.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Davidlohr Bueso <dave@stgolabs.net> Cc: Douglas Hatch <doug.hatch@hpe.com> Cc: H.
