3  * trace_hwlat.c - A simple Hardware Latency detector.
4  *
5  * Use this tracer to detect large system latencies induced by the behavior of
6  * certain underlying system hardware or firmware, independent of Linux itself.
7  * The code was developed originally to detect the presence of SMIs on Intel
8  * and AMD systems, although there is no dependency upon x86 herein.
9  *
10  * The classical example usage of this tracer is in detecting the presence of
11  * SMIs or System Management Interrupts on Intel and AMD systems. An SMI is a
12  * somewhat special form of hardware interrupt spawned from earlier CPU debug
13  * modes in which the (BIOS/EFI/etc.) firmware arranges for the South Bridge
14  * LPC (or other device) to generate a special interrupt under certain
15  * circumstances, for example, upon expiration of a special SMI timer device,
16  * due to certain external thermal readings, on certain I/O address accesses,
17  * and other situations. An SMI hits a special CPU pin, triggers a special
18  * SMI mode (complete with special memory map), and the OS is unaware.
19  *
20  * Although certain hardware-inducing latencies are necessary (for example,
21  * a modern system often requires an SMI handler for correct thermal control
22  * and remote management) they can wreak havoc upon any OS-level performance
23  * guarantees toward low-latency, especially when the OS is not even made
24  * aware of the presence of these interrupts. For this reason, we need a
25  * somewhat brute force mechanism to detect these interrupts. In this case,
26  * we do it by hogging all of the CPU(s) for configurable timer intervals,
27  * sampling the built-in CPU timer, looking for discontiguous readings.
28  *
29  * WARNING: This implementation necessarily introduces latencies. Therefore,
30  *          you should NEVER use this tracer while running in a production
31  *          environment requiring any kind of low-latency performance
32  *          guarantee(s).
