[RFC PATCH 1/4] kmemtrace: Core implementation.

From: Eduard - Gabriel Munteanu
Date: Tue Jul 22 2008 - 14:33:54 EST


kmemtrace provides tracing for slab allocator functions, such as kmalloc,
kfree, kmem_cache_alloc, kmem_cache_free etc.. Collected data is then fed
to the userspace application in order to analyse allocation hotspots,
internal fragmentation and so on, making it possible to see how well an
allocator performs, as well as debug and profile kernel code.

+Description:
+
+In kmemtrace-enabled kernels, the following files are created:
+
+/sys/kernel/debug/kmemtrace/
+ cpu<n> (0400) Per-CPU tracing data, see below. (binary)
+ total_overruns (0400) Total number of bytes which were dropped from
+ cpu<n> files because of full buffer condition,
+ non-binary. (text)
+ abi_version (0400) Kernel's kmemtrace ABI version. (text)
+
+Each per-CPU file should be read according to the relay interface. That is,
+the reader should set affinity to that specific CPU and, as currently done by
+the userspace application (though there are other methods), use poll() with
+an infinite timeout before every read(). Otherwise, erroneous data may be
+read. The binary data has the following _core_ format:
+ Event id (1 byte) Unsigned integer, one of:
+ 0 - erroneous event, this is illegal/invalid data and must
+ not occur (KMEMTRACE_EVENT_NULL)
+ 1 - represents an allocation (KMEMTRACE_EVENT_ALLOC)
+ 2 - represents a freeing of previously allocated memory
+ (KMEMTRACE_EVENT_FREE)
+ Type id (1 byte) Unsigned integer, one of:
+ 0 - this is a kmalloc() / kfree()
+ 1 - this is a kmem_cache_alloc() / kmem_cache_free()
+ 2 - this is a __get_free_pages() et al.
+ Event size (2 bytes) Unsigned integer representing the
+ size of this event. Used to extend
+ kmemtrace. Discard the bytes you
+ don't know about.
+ Target CPU (4 bytes) Signed integer, valid for event id 1.
+ If equal to -1, target CPU is the same
+ as origin CPU, but the reverse might
+ not be true.
+ Caller address (8 bytes) Return address to the caller.
+ Pointer to mem (8 bytes) Pointer to allocated memory, must not
+ be NULL.
+ Requested bytes (8 bytes) Total number of requested bytes,
+ unsigned, must not be zero.
+ Allocated bytes (8 bytes) Total number of actually allocated
+ bytes, unsigned, must not be lower
+ than requested bytes.
+ Requested flags (8 bytes) GFP flags supplied by the caller.
+ Timestamp (8 bytes) Signed integer representing timestamp.
+
+The data is made available in the same endianness the machine has.
+
+Other event ids and type ids may be defined and added. Other fields may be
+added by increasing event size. Every modification to the ABI, including
+new id definitions, are followed by bumping the ABI version by one.

+ kmemtrace - Kernel Memory Tracer
+
+ by Eduard - Gabriel Munteanu
+ <eduard.munteanu@xxxxxxxxxxx>
+
+I. Introduction
+===============
+
+kmemtrace helps kernel developers figure out two things:
+1) how different allocators (SLAB, SLUB etc.) perform
+2) how kernel code allocates memory and how much
+
+To do this, we trace every allocation and export information to the userspace
+through the relay interface. We export things such as the number of requested
+bytes, the number of bytes actually allocated (i.e. including internal
+fragmentation), whether this is a slab allocation or a plain kmalloc() and so
+on.
+
+The actual analysis is performed by a userspace tool (see section III for
+details on where to get it from). It logs the data exported by the kernel,
+processes it and (as of writing this) can provide the following information:
+- the total amount of memory allocated and fragmentation per call-site
+- the amount of memory allocated and fragmentation per allocation
+- total memory allocated and fragmentation in the collected dataset
+- number of cross-CPU allocation and frees (makes sense in NUMA environments)
+
+Moreover, it can potentially find inconsistent and erroneous behavior in
+kernel code, such as using slab free functions on kmalloc'ed memory or
+allocating less memory than requested (but not truly failed allocations).
+
+kmemtrace also makes provisions for tracing on some arch and analysing the
+data on another.
+
+II. Design and goals
+====================
+
+kmemtrace was designed to handle rather large amounts of data. Thus, it uses
+the relay interface to export whatever is logged to userspace, which then
+stores it. Analysis and reporting is done asynchronously, that is, after the
+data is collected and stored. By design, it allows one to log and analyse
+on different machines and different arches.
+
+As of writing this, the ABI is not considered stable, though it might not
+change much. However, no guarantees are made about compatibility yet. When
+deemed stable, the ABI should still allow easy extension while maintaining
+backward compatibility. This is described further in Documentation/ABI.
+
+Summary of design goals:
+ - allow logging and analysis to be done across different machines
+ - be fast and anticipate usage in high-load environments (*)
+ - be reasonably extensible
+ - make it possible for GNU/Linux distributions to have kmemtrace
+ included in their repositories
+
+(*) - one of the reasons Pekka Enberg's original userspace data analysis
+ tool's code was rewritten from Perl to C (although this is more than a
+ simple conversion)
+
+
+III. Quick usage guide
+======================
+
+1) Get a kernel that supports kmemtrace and build it accordingly (i.e. enable
+CONFIG_KMEMTRACE and CONFIG_DEFAULT_ENABLED).
+
+2) Get the userspace tool and build it:
+$ git-clone git://repo.or.cz/kmemtrace-user.git # current repository
+$ cd kmemtrace-user/
+$ ./autogen.sh
+$ ./configure
+$ make
+
+3) Boot the kmemtrace-enabled kernel if you haven't, preferably in the
+'single' runlevel (so that relay buffers don't fill up easily), and run
+kmemtrace:
+# '$' does not mean user, but root here.
+$ mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug
+$ mount -t proc none /proc
+$ cd path/to/kmemtrace-user/
+$ ./kmemtraced
+Wait a bit, then stop it with CTRL+C.
+$ cat /sys/kernel/debug/kmemtrace/total_overruns # Check if we didn't
+ # overrun, should
+ # be zero.
+$ (Optionally) [Run kmemtrace_check separately on each cpu[0-9]*.out file to
+ check its correctness]
+$ ./kmemtrace-report
+
+Now you should have a nice and short summary of how the allocator performs.
+
+IV. FAQ and known issues
+========================
+
+Q: 'cat /sys/kernel/debug/kmemtrace/total_overruns' is non-zero, how do I fix
+this? Should I worry?
+A: If it's non-zero, this affects kmemtrace's accuracy, depending on how
+large the number is. You can fix it by supplying a higher
+'kmemtrace.subbufs=N' kernel parameter.
+---
+
+Q: kmemtrace_check reports errors, how do I fix this? Should I worry?
+A: This is a bug and should be reported. It can occur for a variety of
+reasons:
+ - possible bugs in relay code
+ - possible misuse of relay by kmemtrace
+ - timestamps being collected unorderly
+Or you may fix it yourself and send us a patch.
+---
+
+Q: kmemtrace_report shows many errors, how do I fix this? Should I worry?
+A: This is a known issue and I'm working on it. These might be true errors
+in kernel code, which may have inconsistent behavior (e.g. allocating memory
+with kmem_cache_alloc() and freeing it with kfree()). Pekka Enberg pointed
+out this behavior may work with SLAB, but may fail with other allocators.
+
+It may also be due to lack of tracing in some unusual allocator functions.
+
+We don't want bug reports regarding this issue yet.
