2021-05-12delayacct: Add sysctl to enable at runtimePeter Zijlstra
Just like sched_schedstats, allow runtime enabling (and disabling) of delayacct. This is useful if one forgot to add the delayacct boot time option. Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/YJkhebGJAywaZowX@hirez.programming.kicks-ass.net
2021-05-12delayacct: Default disabledPeter Zijlstra
Assuming this stuff isn't actually used much; disable it by default and avoid allocating and tracking the task_delay_info structure. taskstats is changed to still report the regular sched and sched_info and only skip the missing task_delay_info fields instead of not reporting anything.

2021-05-12sched: Simplify sched_info_on()Peter Zijlstra
The situation around sched_info is somewhat complicated, it is used by sched_stats and delayacct and, indirectly, kvm. If SCHEDSTATS=Y (but disabled by default) sched_info_on() is unconditionally true -- this is the case for all distro kernel configs I checked. If for some reason SCHEDSTATS=N, but TASK_DELAY_ACCT=Y, then sched_info_on() can return false when delayacct is disabled, presumably because there would be no other users left; except kvm is. Instead of complicating matters further by accurately accounting sched_stat and kvm state, simply unconditionally enable when SCHED_INFO=Y, matching the common distro case.

2018-10-26delayacct: track delays from thrashing cache pagesJohannes Weiner
Delay accounting already measures the time a task spends in direct reclaim and waiting for swapin, but in low memory situations tasks spend can spend a significant amount of their time waiting on thrashing page cache. This isn't tracked right now. To know the full impact of memory contention on an individual task, measure the delay when waiting for a recently evicted active cache page to read back into memory.

2018-04-27delayacct: Use raw_spinlocksSebastian Andrzej Siewior
try_to_wake_up() might invoke delayacct_blkio_end() while holding the pi_lock (which is a raw_spinlock_t). delayacct_blkio_end() acquires task_delay_info.lock which is a spinlock_t. This causes a might sleep splat on -RT where non raw spinlocks are converted to 'sleeping' spinlocks. task_delay_info.lock is only held for a short amount of time so it's not a problem latency wise to make convert it to a raw spinlock.

2018-01-16delayacct: Account blkio completion on the correct taskJosh Snyder
Before commit: e33a9bba85a8 ("sched/core: move IO scheduling accounting from io_schedule_timeout() into scheduler") delayacct_blkio_end() was called after context-switching into the task which completed I/O. This resulted in double counting: the task would account a delay both waiting for I/O and for time spent in the runqueue. With e33a9bba85a8, delayacct_blkio_end() is called by try_to_wake_up(). In ttwu, we have not yet context-switched. This is more correct, in that the delay accounting ends when the I/O is complete. But delayacct_blkio_end() relies on 'get_current()', and we have not yet context-switched into the task whose I/O completed. This results in the wrong task having its delay accounting statistics updated. Instead of doing that, pass the task_struct being woken to delayacct_blkio_end(), so that it can update the statistics of the correct task.

2016-01-14kmemcg: account certain kmem allocations to memcgVladimir Davydov
Mark those kmem allocations that are known to be easily triggered from userspace as __GFP_ACCOUNT/SLAB_ACCOUNT, which makes them accounted to memcg. For the list, see below: - threadinfo - task_struct - task_delay_info - pid - cred - mm_struct - vm_area_struct and vm_region (nommu) - anon_vma and anon_vma_chain - signal_struct - sighand_struct - fs_struct - files_struct - fdtable and fdtable->full_fds_bits - dentry and external_name - inode for all filesystems. This is the most tedious part, because most filesystems overwrite the alloc_inode method. The list is far from complete, so feel free to add more objects. Nevertheless, it should be close to "account everything" approach and keep most workloads within bounds. Malevolent users will be able to breach the limit, but this was possible even with the former "account everything" approach (simply because it did not account everything in fact).

2011-07-14KVM: Steal time implementationGlauber Costa
To implement steal time, we need the hypervisor to pass the guest information about how much time was spent running other processes outside the VM, while the vcpu had meaningful work to do - halt time does not count. This information is acquired through the run_delay field of delayacct/schedstats infrastructure, that counts time spent in a runqueue but not running. Steal time is a per-cpu information, so the traditional MSR-based infrastructure is used. A new msr, KVM_MSR_STEAL_TIME, holds the memory area address containing information about steal time This patch contains the hypervisor part of the steal time infrasructure, and can be backported independently of the guest portion.

Example struct test_slab { int a,b,c; struct list_head; } __cacheline_aligned_in_smp; test_slab_cache = KMEM_CACHE(test_slab, SLAB_PANIC) will create a new slab named "test_slab" of the size sizeof(struct test_slab) and aligned to the alignment of test slab.

2006-09-01[PATCH] task delay accounting fixesShailabh Nagar
Cleanup allocation and freeing of tsk->delays used by delay accounting. This solves two problems reported for delay accounting: 1. oops in __delayacct_blkio_ticks http://www.uwsg.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0608.2/1844.html Currently tsk->delays is getting freed too early in task exit which can cause a NULL tsk->delays to get accessed via reading of /proc/<tgid>/stats. The patch fixes this problem by freeing tsk->delays closer to when task_struct itself is freed up. As a result, it also eliminates the use of tsk->delays_lock which was only being used (inadequately) to safeguard access to tsk->delays while a task was exiting. 2. Possible memory leak in kernel/delayacct.c http://www.uwsg.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0608.2/1389.html The patch cleans up tsk->delays allocations after a bad fork which was missing earlier. The patch has been tested to fix the problems listed above and stress tested with rapid calls to delay accounting's taskstats command interface (which is the other path that can access the same data, besides the /proc interface causing the oops above).

2006-07-31[PATCH] delay accounting: temporarily enable by defaultShailabh Nagar
Enable delay accounting by default so that feature gets coverage testing without requiring special measures. Earlier, it was off by default and had to be enabled via a boot time param. This patch reverses the default behaviour to improve coverage testing. It can be removed late in the kernel development cycle if its believed users shouldn't have to incur any cost if they don't want delay accounting. Or it can be retained forever if the utility of the stats is deemed common enough to warrant keeping the feature on.

2006-07-14[PATCH] per-task-delay-accounting: /proc export of aggregated block I/O delaysShailabh Nagar
Export I/O delays seen by a task through /proc/<tgid>/stats for use in top etc. Note that delays for I/O done for swapping in pages (swapin I/O) is clubbed together with all other I/O here (this is not the case in the netlink interface where the swapin I/O is kept distinct) [akpm@osdl.org: printk warning fix] Signed-off-by: Shailabh Nagar <nagar@watson.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Balbir Singh <balbir@in.ibm.com> Cc: Jes Sorensen <jes@sgi.com> Cc: Peter Chubb <peterc@gelato.unsw.edu.au> Cc: Erich Focht <efocht@ess.nec.de> Cc: Levent Serinol <lserinol@gmail.com> Cc: Jay Lan <jlan@engr.sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2006-07-14[PATCH] per-task-delay-accounting: sync block I/O and swapin delay collectionShailabh Nagar
Unlike earlier iterations of the delay accounting patches, now delays are only collected for the actual I/O waits rather than try and cover the delays seen in I/O submission paths. Account separately for block I/O delays incurred as a result of swapin page faults whose frequency can be affected by the task/process' rss limit. Hence swapin delays can act as feedback for rss limit changes independent of I/O priority changes.

2006-07-14[PATCH] per-task-delay-accounting: setupShailabh Nagar
Initialization code related to collection of per-task "delay" statistics which measure how long it had to wait for cpu, sync block io, swapping etc. The collection of statistics and the interface are in other patches. This patch sets up the data structures and allows the statistics collection to be disabled through a kernel boot parameter.
