In the 409 context of Linux, NMIs, IRQs, SoftIRQs, and any other system thread 410 can cause noise to the system. Moreover, hardware-related jobs can 411 also cause noise, for example, via SMIs. 412 413 The osnoise tracer leverages the hwlat_detector by running a similar 414 loop with preemption, SoftIRQs and IRQs enabled, thus allowing all 415 the sources of osnoise during its execution. The osnoise tracer takes 416 note of the entry and exit point of any source of interferences, 417 increasing a per-cpu interference counter. It saves an interference 418 counter for each source of interference. The interference counter for 419 NMI, IRQs, SoftIRQs, and threads is increased anytime the tool 420 observes these interferences' entry events. When a noise happens 421 without any interference from the operating system level, the 422 hardware noise counter increases, pointing to a hardware-related 423 noise. In this way, osnoise can account for any source of 424 interference. At the end of the period, the osnoise tracer prints 425 the sum of all noise, the max single noise, the percentage of CPU 426 available for the thread, and the counters for the noise sources. 427 428 In addition to the tracer, a set of tracepoints were added to 429 facilitate the identification of the osnoise source. 430 431 The output will appear in the trace and trace_pipe files. 432 433 To enable this tracer, echo in "osnoise" into the current_tracer 434 file. 435 436config TIMERLAT_TRACER 437 bool "Timerlat tracer" 438 select OSNOISE_TRACER 439 select GENERIC_TRACER 440 help 441 The timerlat tracer aims to help the preemptive kernel developers 442 to find sources of wakeup latencies of real-time threads. 443 444 The tracer creates a per-cpu kernel thread with real-time priority. 445 The tracer thread sets a periodic timer to wakeup itself, and goes 446 to sleep waiting for the timer to fire. At the wakeup, the thread 447 then computes a wakeup latency value as the difference between 448 the current time and the absolute time that the timer was set 449 to expire. 450 451 The tracer prints two lines at every activation. The first is the 452 timer latency observed at the hardirq context before the 453 activation of the thread. The second is the timer latency observed 454 by the thread, which is the same level that cyclictest reports. The 455 ACTIVATION ID field serves to relate the irq execution to its 456 respective thread execution. 457 458 The tracer is build on top of osnoise tracer, and the osnoise: 459 events can be used to trace the source of interference from NMI, 460 IRQs and other threads.
