This is done via a per-CPU file named osnoise/cpu$id/timerlat_fd file. The tracef_fd allows a task to open at a time. When a task reads the file, the timerlat timer is armed for future osnoise/timerlat_period_us time. When the timer fires, it prints the IRQ latency and wakes up the user-space thread waiting in the timerlat_fd. The thread then starts to run, executes the timerlat measurement, prints the thread scheduling latency and returns to user-space. When the thread rereads the timerlat_fd, the tracer will print the user-ret(urn) latency, which is an additional metric. This additional metric is also traced by the tracer and can be used, for example of measuring the context switch overhead from kernel-to-user and user-to-kernel, or the response time for an arbitrary execution in user-space. The tracer supports one thread per CPU, the thread must be pinned to the CPU, and it cannot migrate while holding the timerlat_fd. The reason is that the tracer is per CPU (nothing prohibits the tracer from allowing migrations in the future). The tracer monitors the migration of the thread and disables the tracer if detected. The timerlat_fd is only available for opening/reading when timerlat tracer is enabled, and NO_OSNOISE_WORKLOAD is set. The simplest way to activate this feature from user-space is: -------------------------------- %< ----------------------------------- int main(void) { char buffer[1024]; int timerlat_fd; int retval; long cpu = 0; /* place in CPU 0 */ cpu_set_t set; CPU_ZERO(&set); CPU_SET(cpu, &set); if (sched_setaffinity(gettid(), sizeof(set), &set) == -1) return 1; snprintf(buffer, sizeof(buffer), "/sys/kernel/tracing/osnoise/per_cpu/cpu%ld/timerlat_fd", cpu); timerlat_fd = open(buffer, O_RDONLY); if (timerlat_fd < 0) { printf("error opening %s: %s\n", buffer, strerror(errno)); exit(1); } for (;;) { retval = read(timerlat_fd, buffer, 1024); if (retval < 0) break; } close(timerlat_fd); exit(0); } -------------------------------- >% ----------------------------------- When disabling timerlat, if there is a workload holding the timerlat_fd, the SIGKILL will be sent to the thread.
