[PATCH v5 1/7] trace: Add trace_ipi_send_cpumask()
Posted by Valentin Schneider 2 years, 11 months ago 
trace_ipi_raise() is unsuitable for generically tracing IPI sources due to
its "reason" argument being an uninformative string (on arm64 all you get
is "Function call interrupts" for SMP calls).

Add a variant of it that exports a target cpumask, a callsite and a callback.

Would it make sense to add a variant like: ipi_send_cpu() that records a
single cpu instead of a cpumask. A lot of sites seems to do:
cpumask_of(cpu) for that first argument, and it seems to me it is quite
daft to have to memcpy a full multi-word cpumask in those cases.

Remember, nr_possible_cpus > 64 is quite common these days.

Because copying cpumasks around when targeting a single CPU is a bit
daft...

I was wondering whether we could stick with a single trace event, but let
ftrace be aware of weight=1 vs weight>1 cpumasks.

For weight>1, it would memcpy() as usual, for weight=1, it could write a
pointer to a cpu_bit_bitmap[] equivalent embedded in the trace itself.

Unfortunately, Ftrace bitmasks are represented as a u32 made of two 16 bit
values: [offset in event record, size], so there isn't a straightforward
way to point to a "reusable" cpumask. AFAICT the only alternative would be
to do that via a different trace event, but then we should just go with a
plain old uint - i.e. do what you're doing here, so:

trace: Add trace_ipi_send_cpumask()

trace_ipi_raise() is unsuitable for generically tracing IPI sources due to
its "reason" argument being an uninformative string (on arm64 all you get
is "Function call interrupts" for SMP calls).

Add a variant of it that exports a target cpumask, a callsite and a callback.
