It introduces the runtime verification that is necessary for running Linux on safety critical systems. It allows for deterministic automata models to be inserted into the kernel that will attach to tracepoints, where the information on these tracepoints will move the model from state to state. If a state is encountered that does not belong to the model, it will then activate a given reactor, that could just inform the user or even panic the kernel (for which safety critical systems will detect and can recover from). - Two monitor models are also added: Wakeup In Preemptive (WIP - not to be confused with "work in progress"), and Wakeup While Not Running (WWNR). - Added __vstring() helper to the TRACE_EVENT() macro to replace several vsnprintf() usages that were all doing it wrong. - eprobes now can have their event autogenerated when the event name is left off. - The rest is various cleanups and fixes. * tag 'trace-v6.0' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: (50 commits) rv: Unlock on error path in rv_unregister_reactor() tracing: Use alignof__(struct {type b;}) instead of offsetof() tracing/eprobe: Show syntax error logs in error_log file scripts/tracing: Fix typo 'the the' in comment tracepoints: It is CONFIG_TRACEPOINTS not CONFIG_TRACEPOINT tracing: Use free_trace_buffer() in allocate_trace_buffers() tracing: Use a struct alignof to determine trace event field alignment rv/reactor: Add the panic reactor rv/reactor: Add the printk reactor rv/monitor: Add the wwnr monitor rv/monitor: Add the wip monitor rv/monitor: Add the wip monitor skeleton created by dot2k Documentation/rv: Add deterministic automata instrumentation documentation Documentation/rv: Add deterministic automata monitor synthesis documentation tools/rv: Add dot2k Documentation/rv: Add deterministic automaton documentation tools/rv: Add dot2c Documentation/rv: Add a basic documentation rv/include: Add instrumentation helper functions rv/include: Add deterministic automata monitor definition via C macros ...
| * rv/monitor: Add the wwnr monitorDaniel Bristot de Oliveira2022-07-302-0/+46
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Per task wakeup while not running (wwnr) monitor. This model is broken, the reason is that a task can be running in the processor without being set as RUNNABLE. Think about a task about to sleep: 1: set_current_state(TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE); 2: schedule(); And then imagine an IRQ happening in between the lines one and two, waking the task up. BOOM, the wakeup will happen while the task is running. Q: Why do we need this model, so? A: To test the reactors.

| * tracing: Auto generate event name when creating a group of eventsLinyu Yuan2022-07-252-8/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently when creating a specific group of trace events, take kprobe event as example, the user must use the following format: p:GRP/EVENT [MOD:]KSYM[+OFFS]|KADDR [FETCHARGS], which means user must enter EVENT name, one example is: echo 'p:usb_gadget/config_usb_cfg_link config_usb_cfg_link $arg1' >> kprobe_events It is not simple if there are too many entries because the event name is the same as symbol name. This change allows user to specify no EVENT name, format changed as: p:GRP/ [MOD:]KSYM[+OFFS]|KADDR [FETCHARGS] It will generate event name automatically and one example is: echo 'p:usb_gadget/ config_usb_cfg_link $arg1' >> kprobe_events.

Core ---- - Introduce XDP multi-buffer support, allowing the use of XDP with jumbo frame MTUs and combination with Rx coalescing offloads (LRO). - Speed up netns dismantling (5x) and lower the memory cost a little. Remove unnecessary per-netns sockets. Scope some lists to a netns. Cut down RCU syncing. Use batch methods. Allow netdev registration to complete out of order. - Support distinguishing timestamp types (ingress vs egress) and maintaining them across packet scrubbing points (e.g. redirect). - Continue the work of annotating packet drop reasons throughout the stack. - Switch netdev error counters from an atomic to dynamically allocated per-CPU counters. - Rework a few preempt_disable(), local_irq_save() and busy waiting sections problematic on PREEMPT_RT. - Extend the ref_tracker to allow catching use-after-free bugs. BPF --- - Introduce "packing allocator" for BPF JIT images. JITed code is marked read only, and used to be allocated at page granularity. Custom allocator allows for more efficient memory use, lower iTLB pressure and prevents identity mapping huge pages from getting split. - Make use of BTF type annotations (e.g. __user, __percpu) to enforce the correct probe read access method, add appropriate helpers. - Convert the BPF preload to use light skeleton and drop the user-mode-driver dependency. - Allow XDP BPF_PROG_RUN test infra to send real packets, enabling its use as a packet generator. - Allow local storage memory to be allocated with GFP_KERNEL if called from a hook allowed to sleep. - Introduce fprobe (multi kprobe) to speed up mass attachment (arch bits to come later). - Add unstable conntrack lookup helpers for BPF by using the BPF kfunc infra. - Allow cgroup BPF progs to return custom errors to user space. - Add support for AF_UNIX iterator batching. - Allow iterator programs to use sleepable helpers. - Support JIT of add, and, or, xor and xchg atomic ops on arm64. - Add BTFGen support to bpftool which allows to use CO-RE in kernels without BTF info. - Large number of libbpf API improvements, cleanups and deprecations. Protocols --------- - Micro-optimize UDPv6 Tx, gaining up to 5% in test on dummy netdev. - Adjust TSO packet sizes based on min_rtt, allowing very low latency links (data centers) to always send full-sized TSO super-frames. - Make IPv6 flow label changes (AKA hash rethink) more configurable, via sysctl and setsockopt. Distinguish between server and client behavior. - VxLAN support to "collect metadata" devices to terminate only configured VNIs. This is similar to VLAN filtering in the bridge. - Support inserting IPv6 IOAM information to a fraction of frames. - Add protocol attribute to IP addresses to allow identifying where given address comes from (kernel-generated, DHCP etc.) - Support setting socket and IPv6 options via cmsg on ping6 sockets. - Reject mis-use of ECN bits in IP headers as part of DSCP/TOS. Define dscp_t and stop taking ECN bits into account in fib-rules. - Add support for locked bridge ports (for 802.1X). - tun: support NAPI for packets received from batched XDP buffs, doubling the performance in some scenarios. - IPv6 extension header handling in Open vSwitch. - Support IPv6 control message load balancing in bonding, prevent neighbor solicitation and advertisement from using the wrong port. Support NS/NA monitor selection similar to existing ARP monitor. - SMC - improve performance with TCP_CORK and sendfile() - support auto-corking - support TCP_NODELAY - MCTP (Management Component Transport Protocol) - add user space tag control interface - I2C binding driver (as specified by DMTF DSP0237) - Multi-BSSID beacon handling in AP mode for WiFi. - Bluetooth: - handle MSFT Monitor Device Event - add MGMT Adv Monitor Device Found/Lost events - Multi-Path TCP: - add support for the SO_SNDTIMEO socket option - lots of selftest cleanups and improvements - Increase the max PDU size in CAN ISOTP to 64 kB. Driver API ---------- - Add HW counters for SW netdevs, a mechanism for devices which offload packet forwarding to report packet statistics back to software interfaces such as tunnels. - Select the default NIC queue count as a fraction of number of physical CPU cores, instead of hard-coding to 8. - Expose devlink instance locks to drivers. Allow device layer of drivers to use that lock directly instead of creating their own which always runs into ordering issues in devlink callbacks. - Add header/data split indication to guide user space enabling of TCP zero-copy Rx. - Allow configuring completion queue event size. - Refactor page_pool to enable fragmenting after allocation. - Add allocation and page reuse statistics to page_pool. - Improve Multiple Spanning Trees support in the bridge to allow reuse of topologies across VLANs, saving HW resources in switches. - DSA (Distributed Switch Architecture): - replay and offload of host VLAN entries - offload of static and local FDB entries on LAG interfaces - FDB isolation and unicast filtering New hardware / drivers ---------------------- - Ethernet: - LAN937x T1 PHYs - Davicom DM9051 SPI NIC driver - Realtek RTL8367S, RTL8367RB-VB switch and MDIO - Microchip ksz8563 switches - Netronome NFP3800 SmartNICs - Fungible SmartNICs - MediaTek MT8195 switches - WiFi: - mt76: MediaTek mt7916 - mt76: MediaTek mt7921u USB adapters - brcmfmac: Broadcom BCM43454/6 - Mobile: - iosm: Intel M.2 7360 WWAN card Drivers ------- - Convert many drivers to the new phylink API built for split PCS designs but also simplifying other cases. - Intel Ethernet NICs: - add TTY for GNSS module for E810T device - improve AF_XDP performance - GTP-C and GTP-U filter offload - QinQ VLAN support - Mellanox Ethernet NICs (mlx5): - support xdp->data_meta - multi-buffer XDP - offload tc push_eth and pop_eth actions - Netronome Ethernet NICs (nfp): - flow-independent tc action hardware offload (police / meter) - AF_XDP - Other Ethernet NICs: - at803x: fiber and SFP support - xgmac: mdio: preamble suppression and custom MDC frequencies - r8169: enable ASPM L1.2 if system vendor flags it as safe - macb/gem: ZynqMP SGMII - hns3: add TX push mode - dpaa2-eth: software TSO - lan743x: multi-queue, mdio, SGMII, PTP - axienet: NAPI and GRO support - Mellanox Ethernet switches (mlxsw): - source and dest IP address rewrites - RJ45 ports - Marvell Ethernet switches (prestera): - basic routing offload - multi-chain TC ACL offload - NXP embedded Ethernet switches (ocelot & felix): - PTP over UDP with the ocelot-8021q DSA tagging protocol - basic QoS classification on Felix DSA switch using dcbnl - port mirroring for ocelot switches - Microchip high-speed industrial Ethernet (sparx5): - offloading of bridge port flooding flags - PTP Hardware Clock - Other embedded switches: - lan966x: PTP Hardward Clock - qca8k: mdio read/write operations via crafted Ethernet packets - Qualcomm 802.11ax WiFi (ath11k): - add LDPC FEC type and 802.11ax High Efficiency data in radiotap - enable RX PPDU stats in monitor co-exist mode - Intel WiFi (iwlwifi): - UHB TAS enablement via BIOS - band disablement via BIOS - channel switch offload - 32 Rx AMPDU sessions in newer devices - MediaTek WiFi (mt76): - background radar detection - thermal management improvements on mt7915 - SAR support for more mt76 platforms - MBSSID and 6 GHz band on mt7915 - RealTek WiFi: - rtw89: AP mode - rtw89: 160 MHz channels and 6 GHz band - rtw89: hardware scan - Bluetooth: - mt7921s: wake on Bluetooth, SCO over I2S, wide-band-speed (WBS) - Microchip CAN (mcp251xfd): - multiple RX-FIFOs and runtime configurable RX/TX rings - internal PLL, runtime PM handling simplification - improve chip detection and error handling after wakeup" * tag 'net-next-5.18' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next: (2521 commits) llc: fix netdevice reference leaks in llc_ui_bind() drivers: ethernet: cpsw: fix panic when interrupt coaleceing is set via ethtool ice: don't allow to run ice_send_event_to_aux() in atomic ctx ice: fix 'scheduling while atomic' on aux critical err interrupt net/sched: fix incorrect vlan_push_eth dest field net: bridge: mst: Restrict info size queries to bridge ports net: marvell: prestera: add missing destroy_workqueue() in prestera_module_init() drivers: net: xgene: Fix regression in CRC stripping net: geneve: add missing netlink policy and size for IFLA_GENEVE_INNER_PROTO_INHERIT net: dsa: fix missing host-filtered multicast addresses net/mlx5e: Fix build warning, detected write beyond size of field iwlwifi: mvm: Don't fail if PPAG isn't supported selftests/bpf: Fix kprobe_multi test.

User space can register an event with the kernel describing the format of the event. Then it will receive a byte in a page mapping that it can check against. A privileged task can then enable that event like any other event, which will change the mapped byte to true, telling the user space application to start writing the event to the tracing buffer. - Add new "ftrace_boot_snapshot" kernel command line parameter. When set, the tracing buffer will be saved in the snapshot buffer at boot up when the kernel hands things over to user space. This will keep the traces that happened at boot up available even if user space boot up has tracing as well. - Have TRACE_EVENT_ENUM() also update trace event field type descriptions. Thus if a static array defines its size with an enum, the user space trace event parsers can still know how to parse that array. - Add new TRACE_CUSTOM_EVENT() macro. This acts the same as the TRACE_EVENT() macro, but will attach to an existing tracepoint. This will make one tracepoint be able to trace different content and not be stuck at only what the original TRACE_EVENT() macro exports. - Fixes to tracing error logging. - Better saving of cmdlines to PIDs when tracing (use the wakeup events for mapping). * tag 'trace-v5.18' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: (30 commits) tracing: Have type enum modifications copy the strings user_events: Add trace event call as root for low permission cases tracing/user_events: Use alloc_pages instead of kzalloc() for register pages tracing: Add snapshot at end of kernel boot up tracing: Have TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM affect trace event types as well tracing: Fix strncpy warning in trace_events_synth.c user_events: Prevent dyn_event delete racing with ioctl add/delete tracing: Add TRACE_CUSTOM_EVENT() macro tracing: Move the defines to create TRACE_EVENTS into their own files tracing: Add sample code for custom trace events tracing: Allow custom events to be added to the tracefs directory tracing: Fix last_cmd_set() string management in histogram code user_events: Fix potential uninitialized pointer while parsing field tracing: Fix allocation of last_cmd in last_cmd_set() user_events: Add documentation file user_events: Add sample code for typical usage user_events: Add self-test for validator boundaries user_events: Add self-test for perf_event integration user_events: Add self-test for dynamic_events integration user_events: Add self-test for ftrace integration ...

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since referencing user space pointers is special, if the user wants to filter on a field that is a pointer to user space, then they need to specify it. Add a ".ustring" attribute to the field name for filters to state that the field is pointing to user space such that the kernel can take the appropriate action to read that pointer.

Worse yet, the memory could not even be loaded yet, and a SEGFAULT could happen as well. This could be true for kernel space accessing as well. To be even more robust, test both kernel and user space strings. If the string fails to read, then simply have the filter fail. Note, TASK_SIZE is used to determine if the pointer is user or kernel space and the appropriate strncpy_from_kernel/user_nofault() function is used to copy the memory. For some architectures, the compare to TASK_SIZE may always pick user space or kernel space. If it gets it wrong, the only thing is that the filter will fail to match. In the future, this needs to be fixed to have the event denote which should be used. But failing a filter is much better than panicing the machine, and that can be solved later.

* tracing/histogram: Rename "cpu" to "common_cpu"Steven Rostedt (VMware)2021-07-231-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the histogram logic allows the user to write "cpu" in as an event field, and it will record the CPU that the event happened on. The problem with this is that there's a lot of events that have "cpu" as a real field, and using "cpu" as the CPU it ran on, makes it impossible to run histograms on the "cpu" field of events. For example, if I want to have a histogram on the count of the workqueue_queue_work event on its cpu field, running: ># echo 'hist:keys=cpu' > events/workqueue/workqueue_queue_work/trigger Gives a misleading and wrong result. Change the command to "common_cpu" as no event should have "common_*" fields as that's a reserved name for fields used by all events. And this makes sense here as common_cpu would be a field used by all events. Now we can even do: ># echo 'hist:keys=common_cpu,cpu if cpu < 100' > events/workqueue/workqueue_queue_work/trigger ># cat events/workqueue/workqueue_queue_work/hist # event histogram # # trigger info: hist:keys=common_cpu,cpu:vals=hitcount:sort=hitcount:size=2048 if cpu < 100 [active] # { common_cpu: 0, cpu: 2 } hitcount: 1 { common_cpu: 0, cpu: 4 } hitcount: 1 { common_cpu: 7, cpu: 7 } hitcount: 1 { common_cpu: 0, cpu: 7 } hitcount: 1 { common_cpu: 0, cpu: 1 } hitcount: 1 { common_cpu: 0, cpu: 6 } hitcount: 2 { common_cpu: 0, cpu: 5 } hitcount: 2 { common_cpu: 1, cpu: 1 } hitcount: 4 { common_cpu: 6, cpu: 6 } hitcount: 4 { common_cpu: 5, cpu: 5 } hitcount: 14 { common_cpu: 4, cpu: 4 } hitcount: 26 { common_cpu: 0, cpu: 0 } hitcount: 39 { common_cpu: 2, cpu: 2 } hitcount: 184 Now for backward compatibility, I added a trick. If "cpu" is used, and the field is not found, it will fall back to "common_cpu" and work as it did before. This way, it will still work for old programs that use "cpu" to get the actual CPU, but if the event has a "cpu" as a field, it will get that event's "cpu" field, which is probably what it wants anyway. I updated the tracefs/README to include documentation about both the common_timestamp and the common_cpu. This way, if that text is present in the README, then an application can know that common_cpu is supported over just plain "cpu".

This has been hardcoded as "1" since 2015, no tooling should be looking at it now.

When user space starts, this can easily live lock the system. Having a boot option to stop just after boot up is useful to prevent that from happening. - Have ftrace_dump_on_oops boot command line option take numbers that match the numbers shown in /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_dump_on_oops. - Bootconfig clean ups, fixes and enhancements. - New ktest script that tests bootconfig options. - Add tracepoint_probe_register_may_exist() to register a tracepoint without triggering a WARN*() if it already exists.

Like cyclictest, the tracer sets a periodic timer that wakes up a thread. The thread then computes a *wakeup latency* value as the difference between the *current time* and the *absolute time* that the timer was set to expire. The main goal of timerlat is tracing in such a way to help kernel developers. Usage Write the ASCII text "timerlat" into the current_tracer file of the tracing system (generally mounted at /sys/kernel/tracing). For example: [root@f32 ~]# cd /sys/kernel/tracing/ [root@f32 tracing]# echo timerlat > current_tracer It is possible to follow the trace by reading the trace trace file: [root@f32 tracing]# cat trace # tracer: timerlat # # _-----=> irqs-off # / _----=> need-resched # | / _---=> hardirq/softirq # || / _--=> preempt-depth # || / # |||| ACTIVATION # TASK-PID CPU# |||| TIMESTAMP ID CONTEXT LATENCY # | | | |||| | | | | <idle>-0 [000] d.h1 54.029328: #1 context irq timer_latency 932 ns <...>-867 [000] .... 54.029339: #1 context thread timer_latency 11700 ns <idle>-0 [001] dNh1 54.029346: #1 context irq timer_latency 2833 ns <...>-868 [001] .... 54.029353: #1 context thread timer_latency 9820 ns <idle>-0 [000] d.h1 54.030328: #2 context irq timer_latency 769 ns <...>-867 [000] .... 54.030330: #2 context thread timer_latency 3070 ns <idle>-0 [001] d.h1 54.030344: #2 context irq timer_latency 935 ns <...>-868 [001] .... 54.030347: #2 context thread timer_latency 4351 ns The tracer creates a per-cpu kernel thread with real-time priority that prints two lines at every activation. The first is the *timer latency* observed at the *hardirq* context before the activation of the thread. The second is the *timer latency* observed by the thread, which is the same level that cyclictest reports. The ACTIVATION ID field serves to relate the *irq* execution to its respective *thread* execution. The irq/thread splitting is important to clarify at which context the unexpected high value is coming from. The *irq* context can be delayed by hardware related actions, such as SMIs, NMIs, IRQs or by a thread masking interrupts. Once the timer happens, the delay can also be influenced by blocking caused by threads. For example, by postponing the scheduler execution via preempt_disable(), by the scheduler execution, or by masking interrupts. Threads can also be delayed by the interference from other threads and IRQs. The timerlat can also take advantage of the osnoise: traceevents.

In the context of Linux, NMIs, IRQs, SoftIRQs, and any other system thread can cause noise to the system. Moreover, hardware-related jobs can also cause noise, for example, via SMIs. The osnoise tracer leverages the hwlat_detector by running a similar loop with preemption, SoftIRQs and IRQs enabled, thus allowing all the sources of *osnoise* during its execution. Using the same approach of hwlat, osnoise takes note of the entry and exit point of any source of interferences, increasing a per-cpu interference counter. The osnoise tracer also saves an interference counter for each source of interference. The interference counter for NMI, IRQs, SoftIRQs, and threads is increased anytime the tool observes these interferences' entry events. When a noise happens without any interference from the operating system level, the hardware noise counter increases, pointing to a hardware-related noise. In this way, osnoise can account for any source of interference. At the end of the period, the osnoise tracer prints the sum of all noise, the max single noise, the percentage of CPU available for the thread, and the counters for the noise sources. Usage Write the ASCII text "osnoise" into the current_tracer file of the tracing system (generally mounted at /sys/kernel/tracing). For example:: [root@f32 ~]# cd /sys/kernel/tracing/ [root@f32 tracing]# echo osnoise > current_tracer It is possible to follow the trace by reading the trace trace file:: [root@f32 tracing]# cat trace # tracer: osnoise # # _-----=> irqs-off # / _----=> need-resched # | / _---=> hardirq/softirq # || / _--=> preempt-depth MAX # || / SINGLE Interference counters: # |||| RUNTIME NOISE % OF CPU NOISE +-----------------------------+ # TASK-PID CPU# |||| TIMESTAMP IN US IN US AVAILABLE IN US HW NMI IRQ SIRQ THREAD # | | | |||| | | | | | | | | | | <...>-859 [000] .... 81.637220: 1000000 190 99.98100 9 18 0 1007 18 1 <...>-860 [001] .... 81.638154: 1000000 656 99.93440 74 23 0 1006 16 3 <...>-861 [002] .... 81.638193: 1000000 5675 99.43250 202 6 0 1013 25 21 <...>-862 [003] .... 81.638242: 1000000 125 99.98750 45 1 0 1011 23 0 <...>-863 [004] .... 81.638260: 1000000 1721 99.82790 168 7 0 1002 49 41 <...>-864 [005] .... 81.638286: 1000000 263 99.97370 57 6 0 1006 26 2 <...>-865 [006] .... 81.638302: 1000000 109 99.98910 21 3 0 1006 18 1 <...>-866 [007] .... 81.638326: 1000000 7816 99.21840 107 8 0 1016 39 19 In addition to the regular trace fields (from TASK-PID to TIMESTAMP), the tracer prints a message at the end of each period for each CPU that is running an osnoise/CPU thread. The osnoise specific fields report: - The RUNTIME IN USE reports the amount of time in microseconds that the osnoise thread kept looping reading the time. - The NOISE IN US reports the sum of noise in microseconds observed by the osnoise tracer during the associated runtime. - The % OF CPU AVAILABLE reports the percentage of CPU available for the osnoise thread during the runtime window. - The MAX SINGLE NOISE IN US reports the maximum single noise observed during the runtime window. - The Interference counters display how many each of the respective interference happened during the runtime window. Note that the example above shows a high number of HW noise samples. The reason being is that this sample was taken on a virtual machine, and the host interference is detected as a hardware interference. Tracer options The tracer has a set of options inside the osnoise directory, they are: - osnoise/cpus: CPUs at which a osnoise thread will execute. - osnoise/period_us: the period of the osnoise thread. - osnoise/runtime_us: how long an osnoise thread will look for noise. - osnoise/stop_tracing_us: stop the system tracing if a single noise higher than the configured value happens. Writing 0 disables this option. - osnoise/stop_tracing_total_us: stop the system tracing if total noise higher than the configured value happens. Writing 0 disables this option. - tracing_threshold: the minimum delta between two time() reads to be considered as noise, in us. When set to 0, the default value will be used, which is currently 5 us. Additional Tracing In addition to the tracer, a set of tracepoints were added to facilitate the identification of the osnoise source. - osnoise:sample_threshold: printed anytime a noise is higher than the configurable tolerance_ns. - osnoise:nmi_noise: noise from NMI, including the duration. - osnoise:irq_noise: noise from an IRQ, including the duration. - osnoise:softirq_noise: noise from a SoftIRQ, including the duration. - osnoise:thread_noise: noise from a thread, including the duration. Note that all the values are *net values*. For example, if while osnoise is running, another thread preempts the osnoise thread, it will start a thread_noise duration at the start. Then, an IRQ takes place, preempting the thread_noise, starting a irq_noise. When the IRQ ends its execution, it will compute its duration, and this duration will be subtracted from the thread_noise, in such a way as to avoid the double accounting of the IRQ execution. This logic is valid for all sources of noise. Here is one example of the usage of these tracepoints:: osnoise/8-961 [008] d.h. 5789.857532: irq_noise: local_timer:236 start 5789.857529929 duration 1845 ns osnoise/8-961 [008] dNh. 5789.858408: irq_noise: local_timer:236 start 5789.858404871 duration 2848 ns migration/8-54 [008] d... 5789.858413: thread_noise: migration/8:54 start 5789.858409300 duration 3068 ns osnoise/8-961 [008] .... 5789.858413: sample_threshold: start 5789.858404555 duration 8723 ns interferences 2 In this example, a noise sample of 8 microseconds was reported in the last line, pointing to two interferences. Looking backward in the trace, the two previous entries were about the migration thread running after a timer IRQ execution. The first event is not part of the noise because it took place one millisecond before. It is worth noticing that the sum of the duration reported in the tracepoints is smaller than eight us reported in the sample_threshold. The reason roots in the overhead of the entry and exit code that happens before and after any interference execution. This justifies the dual approach: measuring thread and tracing.
