From 0b39b9f96f1170523ad6e4a3e8319198a574de27 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Prakash Surya Date: Fri, 13 Jun 2014 10:54:48 -0700 Subject: Swap DTRACE_PROBE* with Linux tracepoints This patch leverages Linux tracepoints from within the ZFS on Linux code base. It also refactors the debug code to bring it back in sync with Illumos. The information exported via tracepoints can be used for a variety of reasons (e.g. debugging, tuning, general exploration/understanding, etc). It is advantageous to use Linux tracepoints as the mechanism to export this kind of information (as opposed to something else) for a number of reasons: * A number of external tools can make use of our tracepoints "automatically" (e.g. perf, systemtap) * Tracepoints are designed to be extremely cheap when disabled * It's one of the "accepted" ways to export this kind of information; many other kernel subsystems use tracepoints too. Unfortunately, though, there are a few caveats as well: * Linux tracepoints appear to only be available to GPL licensed modules due to the way certain kernel functions are exported. Thus, to actually make use of the tracepoints introduced by this patch, one might have to patch and re-compile the kernel; exporting the necessary functions to non-GPL modules. * Prior to upstream kernel version v3.14-rc6-30-g66cc69e, Linux tracepoints are not available for unsigned kernel modules (tracepoints will get disabled due to the module's 'F' taint). Thus, one either has to sign the zfs kernel module prior to loading it, or use a kernel versioned v3.14-rc6-30-g66cc69e or newer. Assuming the above two requirements are satisfied, lets look at an example of how this patch can be used and what information it exposes (all commands run as 'root'): # list all zfs tracepoints available $ ls /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/zfs enable filter zfs_arc__delete zfs_arc__evict zfs_arc__hit zfs_arc__miss zfs_l2arc__evict zfs_l2arc__hit zfs_l2arc__iodone zfs_l2arc__miss zfs_l2arc__read zfs_l2arc__write zfs_new_state__mfu zfs_new_state__mru # enable all zfs tracepoints, clear the tracepoint ring buffer $ echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/zfs/enable $ echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace # import zpool called 'tank', inspect tracepoint data (each line was # truncated, they're too long for a commit message otherwise) $ zpool import tank $ cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace | head -n35 # tracer: nop # # entries-in-buffer/entries-written: 1219/1219 #P:8 # # _-----=> irqs-off # / _----=> need-resched # | / _---=> hardirq/softirq # || / _--=> preempt-depth # ||| / delay # TASK-PID CPU# |||| TIMESTAMP FUNCTION # | | | |||| | | lt-zpool-30132 [003] .... 91344.200050: zfs_arc__miss: hdr... z_rd_int/0-30156 [003] .... 91344.200611: zfs_new_state__mru... lt-zpool-30132 [003] .... 91344.201173: zfs_arc__miss: hdr... z_rd_int/1-30157 [003] .... 91344.201756: zfs_new_state__mru... lt-zpool-30132 [003] .... 91344.201795: zfs_arc__miss: hdr... z_rd_int/2-30158 [003] .... 91344.202099: zfs_new_state__mru... lt-zpool-30132 [003] .... 91344.202126: zfs_arc__hit: hdr ... lt-zpool-30132 [003] .... 91344.202130: zfs_arc__hit: hdr ... lt-zpool-30132 [003] .... 91344.202134: zfs_arc__hit: hdr ... lt-zpool-30132 [003] .... 91344.202146: zfs_arc__miss: hdr... z_rd_int/3-30159 [003] .... 91344.202457: zfs_new_state__mru... lt-zpool-30132 [003] .... 91344.202484: zfs_arc__miss: hdr... z_rd_int/4-30160 [003] .... 91344.202866: zfs_new_state__mru... lt-zpool-30132 [003] .... 91344.202891: zfs_arc__hit: hdr ... lt-zpool-30132 [001] .... 91344.203034: zfs_arc__miss: hdr... z_rd_iss/1-30149 [001] .... 91344.203749: zfs_new_state__mru... lt-zpool-30132 [001] .... 91344.203789: zfs_arc__hit: hdr ... lt-zpool-30132 [001] .... 91344.203878: zfs_arc__miss: hdr... z_rd_iss/3-30151 [001] .... 91344.204315: zfs_new_state__mru... lt-zpool-30132 [001] .... 91344.204332: zfs_arc__hit: hdr ... lt-zpool-30132 [001] .... 91344.204337: zfs_arc__hit: hdr ... lt-zpool-30132 [001] .... 91344.204352: zfs_arc__hit: hdr ... lt-zpool-30132 [001] .... 91344.204356: zfs_arc__hit: hdr ... lt-zpool-30132 [001] .... 91344.204360: zfs_arc__hit: hdr ... To highlight the kind of detailed information that is being exported using this infrastructure, I've taken the first tracepoint line from the output above and reformatted it such that it fits in 80 columns: lt-zpool-30132 [003] .... 91344.200050: zfs_arc__miss: hdr { dva 0x1:0x40082 birth 15491 cksum0 0x163edbff3a flags 0x640 datacnt 1 type 1 size 2048 spa 3133524293419867460 state_type 0 access 0 mru_hits 0 mru_ghost_hits 0 mfu_hits 0 mfu_ghost_hits 0 l2_hits 0 refcount 1 } bp { dva0 0x1:0x40082 dva1 0x1:0x3000e5 dva2 0x1:0x5a006e cksum 0x163edbff3a:0x75af30b3dd6:0x1499263ff5f2b:0x288bd118815e00 lsize 2048 } zb { objset 0 object 0 level -1 blkid 0 } For the specific tracepoint shown here, 'zfs_arc__miss', data is exported detailing the arc_buf_hdr_t (hdr), blkptr_t (bp), and zbookmark_t (zb) that caused the ARC miss (down to the exact DVA!). This kind of precise and detailed information can be extremely valuable when trying to answer certain kinds of questions. For anybody unfamiliar but looking to build on this, I found the XFS source code along with the following three web links to be extremely helpful: * http://lwn.net/Articles/379903/ * http://lwn.net/Articles/381064/ * http://lwn.net/Articles/383362/ I should also node the more "boring" aspects of this patch: * The ZFS_LINUX_COMPILE_IFELSE autoconf macro was modified to support a sixth paramter. This parameter is used to populate the contents of the new conftest.h file. If no sixth parameter is provided, conftest.h will be empty. * The ZFS_LINUX_TRY_COMPILE_HEADER autoconf macro was introduced. This macro is nearly identical to the ZFS_LINUX_TRY_COMPILE macro, except it has support for a fifth option that is then passed as the sixth parameter to ZFS_LINUX_COMPILE_IFELSE. These autoconf changes were needed to test the availability of the Linux tracepoint macros. Due to the odd nature of the Linux tracepoint macro API, a separate ".h" must be created (the path and filename is used internally by the kernel's define_trace.h file). * The HAVE_DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS autoconf macro was introduced. This is to determine if we can safely enable the Linux tracepoint functionality. We need to selectively disable the tracepoint code due to the kernel exporting certain functions as GPL only. Without this check, the build process will fail at link time. In addition, the SET_ERROR macro was modified into a tracepoint as well. To do this, the 'sdt.h' file was moved into the 'include/sys' directory and now contains a userspace portion and a kernel space portion. The dprintf and zfs_dbgmsg* interfaces are now implemented as tracepoint as well.
