[PATCH v5 0/3] Kernel stack usage histogram

[PATCH v5 0/3] Kernel stack usage histogram

[Pasha Tatashin]

Provide histogram of stack sizes for the exited threads:
Example outputs:
Intel:
$ grep kstack /proc/vmstat
kstack_1k 3
kstack_2k 188
kstack_4k 11391
kstack_8k 243
kstack_16k 0

ARM with 64K page_size:
$ grep kstack /proc/vmstat
kstack_1k 1
kstack_2k 340
kstack_4k 25212
kstack_8k 1659
kstack_16k 0
kstack_32k 0
kstack_64k 0

Changelog:
v5:
Uninlined stack_not_used() and kstack_histogram()  per mailing list
discussion
Use count_vm_event() instead of this_cpu_inc()
Increase memcg_event limit from s8_max to u8_max.

[PATCH v5 1/3] memcg: increase the valid index range for memcg stats

[Pasha Tatashin]

From: Shakeel Butt <shakeel.butt@linux.dev>

At the moment the valid index for the indirection tables for memcg stats
and events is < S8_MAX. These indirection tables are used in performance
critical codepaths. With the latest addition to the vm_events, the
NR_VM_EVENT_ITEMS has gone over S8_MAX. One way to resolve is to
increase the entry size of the indirection table from int8_t to int16_t
but this will increase the potential number of cachelines needed to
access the indirection table.

This patch took a different approach and make the valid index < U8_MAX.
In this way the size of the indirection tables will remain same and we
only need to invalid index check from less than 0 to equal to U8_MAX.
In this approach we have also removed a subtraction from the performance
critical codepaths.

[PATCH v5 2/3] vmstat: Kernel stack usage histogram

[Pasha Tatashin]

As part of the dynamic kernel stack project, we need to know the amount
of data that can be saved by reducing the default kernel stack size [1].

Provide a kernel stack usage histogram to aid in optimizing kernel stack
sizes and minimizing memory waste in large-scale environments. The
histogram divides stack usage into power-of-two buckets and reports the
results in /proc/vmstat. This information is especially valuable in
environments with millions of machines, where even small optimizations
can have a significant impact.

The histogram data is presented in /proc/vmstat with entries like
"kstack_1k", "kstack_2k", and so on, indicating the number of threads
that exited with stack usage falling within each respective bucket.

Example outputs:
Intel:
$ grep kstack /proc/vmstat
kstack_1k 3
kstack_2k 188
kstack_4k 11391
kstack_8k 243
kstack_16k 0

ARM with 64K page_size:
$ grep kstack /proc/vmstat
kstack_1k 1
kstack_2k 340
kstack_4k 25212
kstack_8k 1659
kstack_16k 0
kstack_32k 0
kstack_64k 0

Note: once the dynamic kernel stack is implemented it will depend on the
implementation the usability of this feature: On hardware that supports
faults on kernel stacks, we will have other metrics that show the total
number of pages allocated for stacks. On hardware where faults are not
supported, we will most likely have some optimization where only some
threads are extended, and for those, these metrics will still be very
useful.

The use of this macro extends well into this file, should we use a
more specific name (e.g. IS_VALID_STATS_IDX())?

I will redefine it like this:
#define BAD_STAT_IDX(index) ((u32)(index) >= U8_MAX)

1. A descriptive yet short name.
2. Check if the index is equal or larger than U8_MAX, which feels safer.

Andrew,

You took the other two patches, but not this one. Should I drop it in
the next version?

Please keep it as we do want this patch. Most probably this was missed
by misttake and if you see the commit message of first patch, it says
"This patch (of 3):".
