Hello everybody,

I hopefully fixed previous complaints. Also wrote some documentation and
fixed some missing stuff in SLAB.

Please take a look and comment.

BTW, see Documentation/vm/kmemtrace.txt for details on how to use this and
for info on design details.

kmemtrace provides tracing for slab allocator functions, such as kmalloc,
kfree, kmem_cache_alloc, kmem_cache_free etc.. Collected data is then fed
to the userspace application in order to analyse allocation hotspots,
internal fragmentation and so on, making it possible to see how well an
allocator performs, as well as debug and profile kernel code.

+			kmemtrace - Kernel Memory Tracer
+
+			  by Eduard - Gabriel Munteanu
+			     <eduard.munteanu@linux360.ro>
+
+
+I. Design and goals
+===================
+
+kmemtrace was designed to handle rather large amounts of data. Thus, it uses
+the relay interface to export whatever is logged to userspace, which then
+stores it. Analysis and reporting is done asynchronously, that is, after the
+data is collected and stored. By design, it allows one to log and analyse
+on different machines and different arches.
+
+As this is a debugging feature, kmemtrace's ABI is not designed to be very
+stable, although this may happen in the future if it's deemed mature and
+sufficient. So the userspace tool does not contain a copy of the kernel
+header. Instead, the ABI allows checking if the logged data matches the
+userspace tool. Well, what I said about ABI stability isn't totally true:
+while I've tried hard to cover all possible (and useful) use cases, I don't
+want it frozen in the current state. I anticipate the ABI will be _quite_
+stable, even across multiple stable kernel versions, but I don't make any
+guarantees regarding this matter.
+
+Summary of design goals:
+	- allow logging and analysis to be done across different machines
+	- be fast and anticipate usage in high-load environments (*)
+	- be reasonably extensible
+	- have a _reasonably_ (not completely) stable ABI
+
+(*) - one of the reasons Pekka Enberg's original userspace data analysis
+    tool's code was rewritten from Perl to C (although this is more than a
+    simple conversion)
+
+
+II. Quick usage guide
+=====================
+
+1) Get a kernel that supports kmemtrace and build it accordingly (i.e. enable
+CONFIG_KMEMTRACE).
+
+2) Get the userspace tool and build it:
+$ git-clone git://repo.or.cz/kmemtrace-user.git		# current repository
+$ cd kmemtrace-user/
+$ autoreconf
+$ ./configure		# Supply KERNEL_SOURCES=/path/to/sources/ if you're
+			# _not_ running this on a kmemtrace-enabled kernel.
+$ make
+
+3) Boot the kmemtrace-enabled kernel if you haven't, preferably in the
+'single' runlevel (so that relay buffers don't fill up easily), and run
+kmemtrace:
+# '$' does not mean user, but root here.
+$ mount -t debugfs none /debug
+$ mount -t proc none /proc
+$ cd path/to/kmemtrace-user/
+$ ./kmemtraced
+Wait a bit, then stop it with CTRL+C.
+$ cat /debug/kmemtrace/total_overruns	# Check if we didn't overrun, should
+					# be zero.
+$ (Optionally) [Run kmemtrace_check separately on each cpu[0-9]*.out file to
+		check its correctness]
+$ ./kmemtrace-report
+
+Now you should have a nice and short summary of how the allocator performs.
+
+III. FAQ and known issues
+=========================
+Q: 'cat /debug/kmemtrace/total_overruns' is non-zero, how do I fix this?
+Should I worry?
+A: If it's non-zero, this affects kmemtrace's accuracy, depending on how
+large the number is. You can fix it by supplying a higher
+'kmemtrace.subbufs=N' kernel parameter.
+---
+
+Q: kmemtrace_check reports errors, how do I fix this? Should I worry?
+A: This is a bug and should be reported. It can occur for a variety of
+reasons:
+	- possible bugs in relay code
+	- possible misuse of relay by kmemtrace
+	- timestamps being collected unorderly
+Or you may fix it yourself and send us a patch.
+---
+
+Q: kmemtrace_report shows many errors, how do I fix this? Should I worry?
+A: This is a known issue and I'm working on it. These might be true errors
+in kernel code, which may have inconsistent behavior (e.g. allocating memory
+with kmem_cache_alloc() and freeing it with kfree()). Pekka Enberg pointed
+out this behavior may work with SLAB, but may fail with other allocators.
+
+It may also be due to lack of tracing in some unusual allocator functions.
+
+We don't want bug reports regarding this issue yet.

What are these casts doing here? I think you can just drop them, no?

Don't cast flags to unsigned long. The kmemtrace core should use gfp_t
as the parameter type.

Another cast here.

A chapter on what kmemtrace is here would probably be helpful.

As I mentioned in private, I would prefer we drop autoconf from the
userspace tool, but maybe that's just my personal preference.

I think you're supposed to document the actual filesystem in
Documentation/ABI as well.

I don't think this is used anywhere so why not drop it?

I still think kernel vs. cache is confusing because both allocations
*are* for the kernel. So perhaps kmalloc vs. cache?

So why don't we have the ABI version embedded here like blktrace has
so that user-space can check if the format matches its expectations?
That should be future-proof as well: as long as y ou keep the existing
fields where they're at now, you can always add new fields at the end
of the struct.

Yes, I'm working on a legible plain Makefile. However, I'd leave both
the autoconf variant and the plain Makefile in the package for now. Most
developers can use autoconf since it's part of the standard toolset for
regular userspace.

Sounds like a good idea, I'll get on it.

We keep this here because we see all-zeros events when relay errors
occur. I'd like to keep it until I'm sure the relay problem was solved
(although I've not seen these errors in a while since I patched
kmemtraced).

You can't add fields at the end, because the struct size will change and
reads will be erroneous. Also, stamping every 'packet' with ABI version
looks like a huge waste of space.

We do it to preserve ordering of timestamps. Otherwise, the CPU might
get preempted (by IRQs or otherwise) and the event might not be logged
in the order timestamps were taken.

I thought the previous comment about 'ev.timestamp' was enough. I'll
make things more explicit.

It's an ABI so you want to make it backwards compatible and extensible. 
Yes, it's just for debugging, so the rules are bit more relaxed here but 
that's not an excuse for not designing the ABI properly.

I really wish we would follow the example set by blktrace here. It uses a 
fixed-length header that knows the length of the rest of the packet.

I do expect to keep things source-compatible, but even
binary-compatible? Developers debug and write patches on the latest kernel,
not on a 6-month-old kernel. Isn't it reasonable that they would
recompile kmemtrace along with the kernel?

I would deem one ABI or another stable, but then we have to worry about
not breaking it, which leads to either bloating the kernel, or keeping
improvements away from kmemtrace. Should we do it just because this is an ABI?

I'd rather export the header length through a separate debugfs entry,
rather than add this to every packet. I don't think we need variable
length packets, unless we intend to export the whole stack trace, for
example.

By the way, do you anticipate the need for such a stack trace? It would seem
nice, but is it worth the trouble? (/me writes this down as a possible
future improvement)

Yes, I do think it's unreasonable. I, for one, am hoping distributions
will pick up the kmemtrace userspace at some point after which I don't
need to ever compile it myself.

Like I've said before, it's debugging/tracing infrastructure so the
rules are bit more relaxed. That said, what we should do is (1) make
the ABI as future-proof as we can, (2) explicitly mark it as unstable
by documenting it in Documentation/ABI/testing and (3) at some point
in time move it in Documentation/ABI/stable and hopefully never break
it again. But sure, we probably don't need to keep any "bloat" around
like we do with the syscall interface, for example.

And hopefully, the ABI is good enough to allow adding *new* tracing
events while retaining the old ones nicely in a backwards compatible
way.

Sure, makes sense.

Ok, I agree it's nice to have it in distros. I wasn't planning for this,
but it's good to know others' expectations.

Then I'll also add a turn-off mechanism, so maybe it makes it into distro
kernels too (either debug or not). And we don't need to include kernel
headers from userspace anymore and I'll just provide a copy.

BTW, I also expect the kmemtrace-user git repo to become stable soon
(i.e. no more revision history rewrites).

Sounds like a good plan. I'll also update the docs (Documentation/ABI/ and
Documentation/vm/kmemtrace.txt) to reflect this.

It's worth pointing out that this is one of the big downfalls of things
like systemtap. If a tool can't just work out of the box for a distro,
it's basically a non-starter for most users.
