2022-06-01delayacct: track delays from write-protect copyYang Yang1-1/+7
Delay accounting does not track the delay of write-protect copy. When tasks trigger many write-protect copys(include COW and unsharing of anonymous pages[1]), it may spend a amount of time waiting for them. To get the delay of tasks in write-protect copy, could help users to evaluate the impact of using KSM or fork() or GUP.

2022-04-29taskstats: version 12 with thread group and exe infoDr. Thomas Orgis3-1/+419
The task exit struct needs some crucial information to be able to provide an enhanced version of process and thread accounting. This change provides: 1. ac_tgid in additon to ac_pid 2. thread group execution walltime in ac_tgetime 3. flag AGROUP in ac_flag to indicate the last task in a thread group / process 4. device ID and inode of task's /proc/self/exe in ac_exe_dev and ac_exe_inode 5. tools/accounting/procacct as demonstrator When a task exits, taskstats are reported to userspace including the task's pid and ppid, but without the id of the thread group this task is part of. Without the tgid, the stats of single tasks cannot be correlated to each other as a thread group (process). The taskstats documentation suggests that on process exit a data set consisting of accumulated stats for the whole group is produced. But such an additional set of stats is only produced for actually multithreaded processes, not groups that had only one thread, and also those stats only contain data about delay accounting and not the more basic information about CPU and memory resource usage. Adding the AGROUP flag to be set when the last task of a group exited enables determination of process end also for single-threaded processes. My applicaton basically does enhanced process accounting with summed cputime, biggest maxrss, tasks per process. The data is not available with the traditional BSD process accounting (which is not designed to be extensible) and the taskstats interface allows more efficient on-the-fly grouping and summing of the stats, anyway, without intermediate disk writes. Furthermore, I do carry statistics on which exact program binary is used how often with associated resources, getting a picture on how important which parts of a collection of installed scientific software in different versions are, and how well they put load on the machine. This is enabled by providing information on /proc/self/exe for each task. I assume the two 64-bit fields for device ID and inode are more appropriate than the possibly large resolved path to keep the data volume down. Add the tgid to the stats to complete task identification, the flag AGROUP to mark the last task of a group, the group wallclock time, and inode-based identification of the associated executable file. Add tools/accounting/procacct.c as a simplified fork of getdelays.c to demonstrate process and thread accounting.

2020-04-02tools/accounting/getdelays.c: fix netlink attribute lengthDavid Ahern1-1/+1
A recent change to the netlink code: 6e237d099fac ("netlink: Relax attr validation for fixed length types") logs a warning when programs send messages with invalid attributes (e.g., wrong length for a u32). Yafang reported this error message for tools/accounting/getdelays.c. send_cmd() is wrongly adding 1 to the attribute length. As noted in include/uapi/linux/netlink.h nla_len should be NLA_HDRLEN + payload length, so drop the +1.

2018-10-26delayacct: track delays from thrashing cache pagesJohannes Weiner1-1/+7
Delay accounting already measures the time a task spends in direct reclaim and waiting for swapin, but in low memory situations tasks spend can spend a significant amount of their time waiting on thrashing page cache. This isn't tracked right now. To know the full impact of memory contention on an individual task, measure the delay when waiting for a recently evicted active cache page to read back into memory.

2017-11-02License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman2-0/+2
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.
