Support for vectorized algorithms on x86 This is initial support for x86 vectorized implementations of ZFS parity and checksum algorithms. For the compilation phase, configure step checks if toolchain supports relevant instruction sets. Each implementation must ensure that the code is not passed to compiler if relevant instruction set is not supported. For this purpose, following new defines are provided if instruction set is supported: - HAVE_SSE, - HAVE_SSE2, - HAVE_SSE3, - HAVE_SSSE3, - HAVE_SSE4_1, - HAVE_SSE4_2, - HAVE_AVX, - HAVE_AVX2. For detecting if an instruction set can be used in runtime, following functions are provided in (include/linux/simd_x86.h): - zfs_sse_available() - zfs_sse2_available() - zfs_sse3_available() - zfs_ssse3_available() - zfs_sse4_1_available() - zfs_sse4_2_available() - zfs_avx_available() - zfs_avx2_available() - zfs_bmi1_available() - zfs_bmi2_available() These function should be called once, on module load, or initialization. They are safe to use from user and kernel space. If an implementation is using more than single instruction set, both compiler and runtime support for all relevant instruction sets should be checked. Kernel fpu methods: - kfpu_begin() - kfpu_end() Use __get_cpuid_max and __cpuid_count from <cpuid.h> Both gcc and clang have support for these. They also handle ebx register in case it is used for PIC code.

Swap DTRACE_PROBE* with Linux tracepoints This patch leverages Linux tracepoints from within the ZFS on Linux code base. It also refactors the debug code to bring it back in sync with Illumos. The information exported via tracepoints can be used for a variety of reasons (e.g. debugging, tuning, general exploration/understanding, etc). It is advantageous to use Linux tracepoints as the mechanism to export this kind of information (as opposed to something else) for a number of reasons: * A number of external tools can make use of our tracepoints "automatically" (e.g. perf, systemtap) * Tracepoints are designed to be extremely cheap when disabled * It's one of the "accepted" ways to export this kind of information; many other kernel subsystems use tracepoints too. Unfortunately, though, there are a few caveats as well: * Linux tracepoints appear to only be available to GPL licensed modules due to the way certain kernel functions are exported. Thus, to actually make use of the tracepoints introduced by this patch, one might have to patch and re-compile the kernel; exporting the necessary functions to non-GPL modules. * Prior to upstream kernel version v3.14-rc6-30-g66cc69e, Linux tracepoints are not available for unsigned kernel modules (tracepoints will get disabled due to the module's 'F' taint). Thus, one either has to sign the zfs kernel module prior to loading it, or use a kernel versioned v3.14-rc6-30-g66cc69e or newer. Assuming the above two requirements are satisfied, lets look at an example of how this patch can be used and what information it exposes (all commands run as 'root'): # list all zfs tracepoints available $ ls /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/zfs enable filter zfs_arc__delete zfs_arc__evict zfs_arc__hit zfs_arc__miss zfs_l2arc__evict zfs_l2arc__hit zfs_l2arc__iodone zfs_l2arc__miss zfs_l2arc__read zfs_l2arc__write zfs_new_state__mfu zfs_new_state__mru # enable all zfs tracepoints, clear the tracepoint ring buffer $ echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/zfs/enable $ echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace # import zpool called 'tank', inspect tracepoint data (each line was # truncated, they're too long for a commit message otherwise) $ zpool import tank $ cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace | head -n35 # tracer: nop # # entries-in-buffer/entries-written: 1219/1219 #P:8 # # _-----=> irqs-off # / _----=> need-resched # | / _---=> hardirq/softirq # || / _--=> preempt-depth # ||| / delay # TASK-PID CPU# |||| TIMESTAMP FUNCTION # | | | |||| | | lt-zpool-30132 [003] .... 91344.200050: zfs_arc__miss: hdr... z_rd_int/0-30156 [003] .... 91344.200611: zfs_new_state__mru... lt-zpool-30132 [003] .... 91344.201173: zfs_arc__miss: hdr... z_rd_int/1-30157 [003] .... 91344.201756: zfs_new_state__mru... lt-zpool-30132 [003] .... 91344.201795: zfs_arc__miss: hdr... z_rd_int/2-30158 [003] .... 91344.202099: zfs_new_state__mru... lt-zpool-30132 [003] .... 91344.202126: zfs_arc__hit: hdr ... lt-zpool-30132 [003] .... 91344.202130: zfs_arc__hit: hdr ... lt-zpool-30132 [003] .... 91344.202134: zfs_arc__hit: hdr ... lt-zpool-30132 [003] .... 91344.202146: zfs_arc__miss: hdr... z_rd_int/3-30159 [003] .... 91344.202457: zfs_new_state__mru... lt-zpool-30132 [003] .... 91344.202484: zfs_arc__miss: hdr... z_rd_int/4-30160 [003] .... 91344.202866: zfs_new_state__mru... lt-zpool-30132 [003] .... 91344.202891: zfs_arc__hit: hdr ... lt-zpool-30132 [001] .... 91344.203034: zfs_arc__miss: hdr... z_rd_iss/1-30149 [001] .... 91344.203749: zfs_new_state__mru... lt-zpool-30132 [001] .... 91344.203789: zfs_arc__hit: hdr ... lt-zpool-30132 [001] .... 91344.203878: zfs_arc__miss: hdr... z_rd_iss/3-30151 [001] .... 91344.204315: zfs_new_state__mru... lt-zpool-30132 [001] .... 91344.204332: zfs_arc__hit: hdr ... lt-zpool-30132 [001] .... 91344.204337: zfs_arc__hit: hdr ... lt-zpool-30132 [001] .... 91344.204352: zfs_arc__hit: hdr ... lt-zpool-30132 [001] .... 91344.204356: zfs_arc__hit: hdr ... lt-zpool-30132 [001] .... 91344.204360: zfs_arc__hit: hdr ...

This kind of precise and detailed information can be extremely valuable when trying to answer certain kinds of questions. For anybody unfamiliar but looking to build on this, I found the XFS source code along with the following three web links to be extremely helpful: * http://lwn.net/Articles/379903/ * http://lwn.net/Articles/381064/ * http://lwn.net/Articles/383362/ I should also node the more "boring" aspects of this patch: * The ZFS_LINUX_COMPILE_IFELSE autoconf macro was modified to support a sixth paramter. This parameter is used to populate the contents of the new conftest.h file. If no sixth parameter is provided, conftest.h will be empty. * The ZFS_LINUX_TRY_COMPILE_HEADER autoconf macro was introduced. This macro is nearly identical to the ZFS_LINUX_TRY_COMPILE macro, except it has support for a fifth option that is then passed as the sixth parameter to ZFS_LINUX_COMPILE_IFELSE. These autoconf changes were needed to test the availability of the Linux tracepoint macros. Due to the odd nature of the Linux tracepoint macro API, a separate ".h" must be created (the path and filename is used internally by the kernel's define_trace.h file). * The HAVE_DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS autoconf macro was introduced. This is to determine if we can safely enable the Linux tracepoint functionality. We need to selectively disable the tracepoint code due to the kernel exporting certain functions as GPL only. Without this check, the build process will fail at link time. In addition, the SET_ERROR macro was modified into a tracepoint as well. To do this, the 'sdt.h' file was moved into the 'include/sys' directory and now contains a userspace portion and a kernel space portion. The dprintf and zfs_dbgmsg* interfaces are now implemented as tracepoint as well.

zvol processing should use struct bio Internally, zvols are files exposed through the block device API. This is intended to reduce overhead when things require block devices. However, the ZoL zvol code emulates a traditional block device in that it has a top half and a bottom half. This is an unnecessary source of overhead that does not exist on any other OpenZFS platform does this. This patch removes it. Early users of this patch reported double digit performance gains in IOPS on zvols in the range of 50% to 80%. Comments in the code suggest that the current implementation was done to obtain IO merging from Linux's IO elevator. However, the DMU already does write merging while arc_read() should implicitly merge read IOs because only 1 thread is permitted to fetch the buffer into ARC. In addition, commercial ZFSOnLinux distributions report that regular files are more performant than zvols under the current implementation, and the main consumers of zvols are VMs and iSCSI targets, which have their own elevators to merge IOs. Some minor refactoring allows us to register zfs_request() as our ->make_request() handler in place of the generic_make_request() function. This eliminates the layer of code that broke IO requests on zvols into a top half and a bottom half. This has several benefits: 1. No per zvol spinlocks. 2. No redundant IO elevator processing. 3. Interrupts are disabled only when actually necessary. 4. No redispatching of IOs when all taskq threads are busy. 5. Linux's page out routines will properly block. 6. Many autotools checks become obsolete. An unfortunate consequence of eliminating the layer that generic_make_request() is that we no longer calls the instrumentation hooks for block IO accounting. Those hooks are GPL-exported, so we cannot call them ourselves and consequently, we lose the ability to do IO monitoring via iostat. Since zvols are internally files mapped as block devices, this should be okay. Anyone who is willing to accept the performance penalty for the block IO layer's accounting could use the loop device in between the zvol and its consumer. Alternatively, perf and ftrace likely could be used. Also, tools like latencytop will still work. Tools such as latencytop sometimes provide a better view of performance bottlenecks than the traditional block IO accounting tools do. Lastly, if direct reclaim occurs during spacemap loading and swap is on a zvol, this code will deadlock. That deadlock could already occur with sync=always on zvols. Given that swap on zvols is not yet production ready, this is not a blocker. Signed-off-by: Richard Yao <ryao@gentoo.org>

Fix sync behavior for disk vdevs Prior to b39c22b, which was first generally available in the 0.6.5 release as b39c22b, ZoL never actually submitted synchronous read or write requests to the Linux block layer. This means the vdev_disk_dio_is_sync() function had always returned false and, therefore, the completion in dio_request_t.dr_comp was never actually used. In b39c22b, synchronous ZIO operations were translated to synchronous BIO requests in vdev_disk_io_start(). The follow-on commits 5592404 and aa159af fixed several problems introduced by b39c22b. In particular, 5592404 introduced the new flag parameter "wait" to __vdev_disk_physio() but under ZoL, since vdev_disk_physio() is never actually used, the wait flag was always zero so the new code had no effect other than to cause a bug in the use of the dio_request_t.dr_comp which was fixed by aa159af. The original rationale for introducing synchronous operations in b39c22b was to hurry certains requests through the BIO layer which would have otherwise been subject to its unplug timer which would increase the latency. This behavior of the unplug timer, however, went away during the transition of the plug/unplug system between kernels 2.6.32 and 2.6.39. To handle the unplug timer behavior on 2.6.32-2.6.35 kernels the BIO_RW_UNPLUG flag is used as a hint to suppress the plugging behavior. For kernels 2.6.36-2.6.38, the REQ_UNPLUG macro will be available and ise used for the same purpose.

Linux 3.1 compat, super_block->s_shrink The Linux 3.1 kernel has introduced the concept of per-filesystem shrinkers which are directly assoicated with a super block. Prior to this change there was one shared global shrinker. The zfs code relied on being able to call the global shrinker when the arc_meta_limit was exceeded. This would cause the VFS to drop references on a fraction of the dentries in the dcache. The ARC could then safely reclaim the memory used by these entries and honor the arc_meta_limit. Unfortunately, when per-filesystem shrinkers were added the old interfaces were made unavailable. This change adds support to use the new per-filesystem shrinker interface so we can continue to honor the arc_meta_limit. The major benefit of the new interface is that we can now target only the zfs filesystem for dentry and inode pruning. Thus we can minimize any impact on the caching of other filesystems. In the context of making this change several other important issues related to managing the ARC were addressed, they include: * The dnlc_reduce_cache() function which was called by the ARC to drop dentries for the Posix layer was replaced with a generic zfs_prune_t callback. The ZPL layer now registers a callback to drop these dentries removing a layering violation which dates back to the Solaris code. This callback can also be used by other ARC consumers such as Lustre. arc_add_prune_callback() arc_remove_prune_callback() * The arc_reduce_dnlc_percent module option has been changed to arc_meta_prune for clarity. The dnlc functions are specific to Solaris's VFS and have already been largely eliminated already. The replacement tunable now represents the number of bytes the prune callback will request when invoked. * Less aggressively invoke the prune callback. We used to call this whenever we exceeded the arc_meta_limit however that's not strictly correct since it results in over zeleous reclaim of dentries and inodes. It is now only called once the arc_meta_limit is exceeded and every effort has been made to evict other data from the ARC cache. * More promptly manage exceeding the arc_meta_limit. When reading meta data in to the cache if a buffer was unable to be recycled notify the arc_reclaim thread to invoke the required prune. * Added arcstat_prune kstat which is incremented when the ARC is forced to request that a consumer prune its cache. Remember this will only occur when the ARC has no other choice. If it can evict buffers safely without invoking the prune callback it will. * This change is also expected to resolve the unexpect collapses of the ARC cache. This would occur because when exceeded just the arc_meta_limit reclaim presure would be excerted on the arc_c value via arc_shrink(). This effectively shrunk the entire cache when really we just needed to reclaim meta data. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov> Closes #466 Closes #292

Linux compat 2.6.39: mount_nodev() The .get_sb callback has been replaced by a .mount callback in the file_system_type structure. When using the new interface the caller must now use the mount_nodev() helper. Unfortunately, the new interface no longer passes the vfsmount down to the zfs layers. This poses a problem for the existing implementation because we currently save this pointer in the super block for latter use. It provides our only entry point in to the namespace layer for manipulating certain mount options. This needed to be done originally to allow commands like 'zfs set atime=off tank' to work properly. It also allowed me to keep more of the original Solaris code unmodified. Under Solaris there is a 1-to-1 mapping between a mount point and a file system so this is a fairly natural thing to do. However, under Linux they many be multiple entries in the namespace which reference the same filesystem. Thus keeping a back reference from the filesystem to the namespace is complicated. Rather than introduce some ugly hack to get the vfsmount and continue as before. I'm leveraging this API change to update the ZFS code to do things in a more natural way for Linux. This has the upside that is resolves the compatibility issue for the long term and fixes several other minor bugs which have been reported. This commit updates the code to remove this vfsmount back reference entirely. All modifications to filesystem mount options are now passed in to the kernel via a '-o remount'. This is the expected Linux mechanism and allows the namespace to properly handle any options which apply to it before passing them on to the file system itself. Aside from fixing the compatibility issue, removing the vfsmount has had the benefit of simplifying the code. This change which fairly involved has turned out nicely.

This effectively shrunk the entire cache when really we just needed to reclaim meta data. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov> Closes #466 Closes #292

Linux 3.18 compat: Snapshot auto-mounting Re-factor the .zfs/snapshot auto-mouting code to take in to account changes made to the upstream kernels. And to lay the groundwork for enabling access to .zfs snapshots via NFS clients. This patch makes the following core improvements. * All actively auto-mounted snapshots are now tracked in two global trees which are indexed by snapshot name and objset id respectively. This allows for fast lookups of any auto-mounted snapshot regardless without needing access to the parent dataset. * Snapshot entries are added to the tree in zfsctl_snapshot_mount(). However, they are now removed from the tree in the context of the unmount process. This eliminates the need complicated error logic in zfsctl_snapshot_unmount() to handle unmount failures. * References are now taken on the snapshot entries in the tree to ensure they always remain valid while a task is outstanding. * The MNT_SHRINKABLE flag is set on the snapshot vfsmount_t right after the auto-mount succeeds. This allows to kernel to unmount idle auto-mounted snapshots if needed removing the need for the zfsctl_unmount_snapshots() function. * Snapshots in active use will not be automatically unmounted. As long as at least one dentry is revalidated every zfs_expire_snapshot/2 seconds the auto-unmount expiration timer will be extended. * Commit torvalds/linux@bafc9b7 caused snapshots auto-mounted by ZFS to be immediately unmounted when the dentry was revalidated. This was a consequence of ZFS invaliding all snapdir dentries to ensure that negative dentries didn't mask new snapshots. This patch modifies the behavior such that only negative dentries are invalidated. This solves the issue and may result in a performance improvement.

ZFS_AC_KERNEL_FOLLOW_DOWN_ONE
zvol processing should use struct bio Internally, zvols are files exposed through the block device API. This is intended to reduce overhead when things require block devices. However, the ZoL zvol code emulates a traditional block device in that it has a top half and a bottom half. This is an unnecessary source of overhead that does not exist on any other OpenZFS platform does this. This patch removes it. Early users of this patch reported double digit performance gains in IOPS on zvols in the range of 50% to 80%. Comments in the code suggest that the current implementation was done to obtain IO merging from Linux's IO elevator. However, the DMU already does write merging while arc_read() should implicitly merge read IOs because only 1 thread is permitted to fetch the buffer into ARC. In addition, commercial ZFSOnLinux distributions report that regular files are more performant than zvols under the current implementation, and the main consumers of zvols are VMs and iSCSI targets, which have their own elevators to merge IOs. Some minor refactoring allows us to register zfs_request() as our ->make_request() handler in place of the generic_make_request() function. This eliminates the layer of code that broke IO requests on zvols into a top half and a bottom half. This has several benefits: 1. No per zvol spinlocks. 2. No redundant IO elevator processing. 3. Interrupts are disabled only when actually necessary. 4. No redispatching of IOs when all taskq threads are busy. 5. Linux's page out routines will properly block. 6. Many autotools checks become obsolete. An unfortunate consequence of eliminating the layer that generic_make_request() is that we no longer calls the instrumentation hooks for block IO accounting. Those hooks are GPL-exported, so we cannot call them ourselves and consequently, we lose the ability to do IO monitoring via iostat. Since zvols are internally files mapped as block devices, this should be okay. Anyone who is willing to accept the performance penalty for the block IO layer's accounting could use the loop device in between the zvol and its consumer. Alternatively, perf and ftrace likely could be used. Also, tools like latencytop will still work. Tools such as latencytop sometimes provide a better view of performance bottlenecks than the traditional block IO accounting tools do. Lastly, if direct reclaim occurs during spacemap loading and swap is on a zvol, this code will deadlock. That deadlock could already occur with sync=always on zvols. Given that swap on zvols is not yet production ready, this is not a blocker. Signed-off-by: Richard Yao <ryao@gentoo.org>

Support for vectorized algorithms on x86 This is initial support for x86 vectorized implementations of ZFS parity and checksum algorithms. For the compilation phase, configure step checks if toolchain supports relevant instruction sets. Each implementation must ensure that the code is not passed to compiler if relevant instruction set is not supported. For this purpose, following new defines are provided if instruction set is supported: - HAVE_SSE, - HAVE_SSE2, - HAVE_SSE3, - HAVE_SSSE3, - HAVE_SSE4_1, - HAVE_SSE4_2, - HAVE_AVX, - HAVE_AVX2. For detecting if an instruction set can be used in runtime, following functions are provided in (include/linux/simd_x86.h): - zfs_sse_available() - zfs_sse2_available() - zfs_sse3_available() - zfs_ssse3_available() - zfs_sse4_1_available() - zfs_sse4_2_available() - zfs_avx_available() - zfs_avx2_available() - zfs_bmi1_available() - zfs_bmi2_available() These function should be called once, on module load, or initialization. They are safe to use from user and kernel space. If an implementation is using more than single instruction set, both compiler and runtime support for all relevant instruction sets should be checked. Kernel fpu methods: - kfpu_begin() - kfpu_end() Use __get_cpuid_max and __cpuid_count from <cpuid.h> Both gcc and clang have support for these. They also handle ebx register in case it is used for PIC code.

Support custom build directories and move includes One of the neat tricks an autoconf style project is capable of is allow configurion/building in a directory other than the source directory. The major advantage to this is that you can build the project various different ways while making changes in a single source tree. For example, this project is designed to work on various different Linux distributions each of which work slightly differently. This means that changes need to verified on each of those supported distributions perferably before the change is committed to the public git repo. Using nfs and custom build directories makes this much easier. I now have a single source tree in nfs mounted on several different systems each running a supported distribution. When I make a change to the source base I suspect may break things I can concurrently build from the same source on all the systems each in their own subdirectory. wget -c http://github.com/downloads/behlendorf/zfs/zfs-x.y.z.tar.gz tar -xzf zfs-x.y.z.tar.gz cd zfs-x-y-z ------------------------- run concurrently ---------------------- <ubuntu system> <fedora system> <debian system> <rhel6 system> mkdir ubuntu mkdir fedora mkdir debian mkdir rhel6 cd ubuntu cd fedora cd debian cd rhel6 ../configure ../configure ../configure ../configure make make make make make check make check make check make check This change also moves many of the include headers from individual incude/sys directories under the modules directory in to a single top level include directory.

Swap DTRACE_PROBE* with Linux tracepoints This patch leverages Linux tracepoints from within the ZFS on Linux code base. It also refactors the debug code to bring it back in sync with Illumos. The information exported via tracepoints can be used for a variety of reasons (e.g. debugging, tuning, general exploration/understanding, etc). It is advantageous to use Linux tracepoints as the mechanism to export this kind of information (as opposed to something else) for a number of reasons: * A number of external tools can make use of our tracepoints "automatically" (e.g. perf, systemtap) * Tracepoints are designed to be extremely cheap when disabled * It's one of the "accepted" ways to export this kind of information; many other kernel subsystems use tracepoints too. Unfortunately, though, there are a few caveats as well: * Linux tracepoints appear to only be available to GPL licensed modules due to the way certain kernel functions are exported. Thus, to actually make use of the tracepoints introduced by this patch, one might have to patch and re-compile the kernel; exporting the necessary functions to non-GPL modules. * Prior to upstream kernel version v3.14-rc6-30-g66cc69e, Linux tracepoints are not available for unsigned kernel modules (tracepoints will get disabled due to the module's 'F' taint). Thus, one either has to sign the zfs kernel module prior to loading it, or use a kernel versioned v3.14-rc6-30-g66cc69e or newer. Assuming the above two requirements are satisfied, lets look at an example of how this patch can be used and what information it exposes (all commands run as 'root'): # list all zfs tracepoints available $ ls /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/zfs enable filter zfs_arc__delete zfs_arc__evict zfs_arc__hit zfs_arc__miss zfs_l2arc__evict zfs_l2arc__hit zfs_l2arc__iodone zfs_l2arc__miss zfs_l2arc__read zfs_l2arc__write zfs_new_state__mfu zfs_new_state__mru # enable all zfs tracepoints, clear the tracepoint ring buffer $ echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/zfs/enable $ echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace # import zpool called 'tank', inspect tracepoint data (each line was # truncated, they're too long for a commit message otherwise) $ zpool import tank $ cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace | head -n35 # tracer: nop # # entries-in-buffer/entries-written: 1219/1219 #P:8 # # _-----=> irqs-off # / _----=> need-resched # | / _---=> hardirq/softirq # || / _--=> preempt-depth # ||| / delay # TASK-PID CPU# |||| TIMESTAMP FUNCTION # | | | |||| | | lt-zpool-30132 [003] .... 91344.200050: zfs_arc__miss: hdr... z_rd_int/0-30156 [003] .... 91344.200611: zfs_new_state__mru... lt-zpool-30132 [003] .... 91344.201173: zfs_arc__miss: hdr... z_rd_int/1-30157 [003] .... 91344.201756: zfs_new_state__mru... lt-zpool-30132 [003] .... 91344.201795: zfs_arc__miss: hdr... z_rd_int/2-30158 [003] .... 91344.202099: zfs_new_state__mru... lt-zpool-30132 [003] .... 91344.202126: zfs_arc__hit: hdr ... lt-zpool-30132 [003] .... 91344.202130: zfs_arc__hit: hdr ... lt-zpool-30132 [003] .... 91344.202134: zfs_arc__hit: hdr ... lt-zpool-30132 [003] .... 91344.202146: zfs_arc__miss: hdr... z_rd_int/3-30159 [003] .... 91344.202457: zfs_new_state__mru... lt-zpool-30132 [003] .... 91344.202484: zfs_arc__miss: hdr... z_rd_int/4-30160 [003] .... 91344.202866: zfs_new_state__mru... lt-zpool-30132 [003] .... 91344.202891: zfs_arc__hit: hdr ... lt-zpool-30132 [001] .... 91344.203034: zfs_arc__miss: hdr... z_rd_iss/1-30149 [001] .... 91344.203749: zfs_new_state__mru... lt-zpool-30132 [001] .... 91344.203789: zfs_arc__hit: hdr ... lt-zpool-30132 [001] .... 91344.203878: zfs_arc__miss: hdr... z_rd_iss/3-30151 [001] .... 91344.204315: zfs_new_state__mru... lt-zpool-30132 [001] .... 91344.204332: zfs_arc__hit: hdr ... lt-zpool-30132 [001] .... 91344.204337: zfs_arc__hit: hdr ... lt-zpool-30132 [001] .... 91344.204352: zfs_arc__hit: hdr ... lt-zpool-30132 [001] .... 91344.204356: zfs_arc__hit: hdr ... lt-zpool-30132 [001] .... 91344.204360: zfs_arc__hit: hdr ...

This kind of precise and detailed information can be extremely valuable when trying to answer certain kinds of questions.

This parameter is used to populate the contents of the new conftest.h file. If no sixth parameter is provided, conftest.h will be empty. * The ZFS_LINUX_TRY_COMPILE_HEADER autoconf macro was introduced. This macro is nearly identical to the ZFS_LINUX_TRY_COMPILE macro, except it has support for a fifth option that is then passed as the sixth parameter to ZFS_LINUX_COMPILE_IFELSE. These autoconf changes were needed to test the availability of the Linux tracepoint macros. Due to the odd nature of the Linux tracepoint macro API, a separate ".h" must be created (the path and filename is used internally by the kernel's define_trace.h file). * The HAVE_DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS autoconf macro was introduced. This is to determine if we can safely enable the Linux tracepoint functionality. We need to selectively disable the tracepoint code due to the kernel exporting certain functions as GPL only. Without this check, the build process will fail at link time. In addition, the SET_ERROR macro was modified into a tracepoint as well. To do this, the 'sdt.h' file was moved into the 'include/sys' directory and now contains a userspace portion and a kernel space portion. The dprintf and zfs_dbgmsg* interfaces are now implemented as tracepoint as well.

Swap DTRACE_PROBE* with Linux tracepoints This patch leverages Linux tracepoints from within the ZFS on Linux code base. It also refactors the debug code to bring it back in sync with Illumos. The information exported via tracepoints can be used for a variety of reasons (e.g. debugging, tuning, general exploration/understanding, etc). It is advantageous to use Linux tracepoints as the mechanism to export this kind of information (as opposed to something else) for a number of reasons: * A number of external tools can make use of our tracepoints "automatically" (e.g. perf, systemtap) * Tracepoints are designed to be extremely cheap when disabled * It's one of the "accepted" ways to export this kind of information; many other kernel subsystems use tracepoints too. Unfortunately, though, there are a few caveats as well: * Linux tracepoints appear to only be available to GPL licensed modules due to the way certain kernel functions are exported. Thus, to actually make use of the tracepoints introduced by this patch, one might have to patch and re-compile the kernel; exporting the necessary functions to non-GPL modules. * Prior to upstream kernel version v3.14-rc6-30-g66cc69e, Linux tracepoints are not available for unsigned kernel modules (tracepoints will get disabled due to the module's 'F' taint). Thus, one either has to sign the zfs kernel module prior to loading it, or use a kernel versioned v3.14-rc6-30-g66cc69e or newer.

Due to the odd nature of the Linux tracepoint macro API, a separate ".h" must be created (the path and filename is used internally by the kernel's define_trace.h file). * The HAVE_DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS autoconf macro was introduced. This is to determine if we can safely enable the Linux tracepoint functionality. We need to selectively disable the tracepoint code due to the kernel exporting certain functions as GPL only. Without this check, the build process will fail at link time. In addition, the SET_ERROR macro was modified into a tracepoint as well. To do this, the 'sdt.h' file was moved into the 'include/sys' directory and now contains a userspace portion and a kernel space portion. The dprintf and zfs_dbgmsg* interfaces are now implemented as tracepoint as well.

Swap DTRACE_PROBE* with Linux tracepoints This patch leverages Linux tracepoints from within the ZFS on Linux code base. It also refactors the debug code to bring it back in sync with Illumos. The information exported via tracepoints can be used for a variety of reasons (e.g. debugging, tuning, general exploration/understanding, etc). It is advantageous to use Linux tracepoints as the mechanism to export this kind of information (as opposed to something else) for a number of reasons: * A number of external tools can make use of our tracepoints "automatically" (e.g. perf, systemtap) * Tracepoints are designed to be extremely cheap when disabled * It's one of the "accepted" ways to export this kind of information; many other kernel subsystems use tracepoints too. Unfortunately, though, there are a few caveats as well: * Linux tracepoints appear to only be available to GPL licensed modules due to the way certain kernel functions are exported. Thus, to actually make use of the tracepoints introduced by this patch, one might have to patch and re-compile the kernel; exporting the necessary functions to non-GPL modules. * Prior to upstream kernel version v3.14-rc6-30-g66cc69e, Linux tracepoints are not available for unsigned kernel modules (tracepoints will get disabled due to the module's 'F' taint). Thus, one either has to sign the zfs kernel module prior to loading it, or use a kernel versioned v3.14-rc6-30-g66cc69e or newer. Assuming the above two requirements are satisfied, lets look at an example of how this patch can be used and what information it exposes (all commands run as 'root'): # list all zfs tracepoints available $ ls /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/zfs enable filter zfs_arc__delete zfs_arc__evict zfs_arc__hit zfs_arc__miss zfs_l2arc__evict zfs_l2arc__hit zfs_l2arc__iodone zfs_l2arc__miss zfs_l2arc__read zfs_l2arc__write zfs_new_state__mfu zfs_new_state__mru # enable all zfs tracepoints, clear the tracepoint ring buffer $ echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/zfs/enable $ echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace # import zpool called 'tank', inspect tracepoint data (each line was # truncated, they're too long for a commit message otherwise) $ zpool import tank $ cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace | head -n35 # tracer: nop # # entries-in-buffer/entries-written: 1219/1219 #P:8 # # _-----=> irqs-off # / _----=> need-resched # | / _---=> hardirq/softirq # || / _--=> preempt-depth # ||| / delay # TASK-PID CPU# |||| TIMESTAMP FUNCTION # | | | |||| | | lt-zpool-30132 [003] .... 91344.200050: zfs_arc__miss: hdr... z_rd_int/0-30156 [003] .... 91344.200611: zfs_new_state__mru... lt-zpool-30132 [003] .... 91344.201173: zfs_arc__miss: hdr... z_rd_int/1-30157 [003] .... 91344.201756: zfs_new_state__mru... lt-zpool-30132 [003] .... 91344.201795: zfs_arc__miss: hdr... z_rd_int/2-30158 [003] .... 91344.202099: zfs_new_state__mru... lt-zpool-30132 [003] .... 91344.202126: zfs_arc__hit: hdr ... lt-zpool-30132 [003] .... 91344.202130: zfs_arc__hit: hdr ... lt-zpool-30132 [003] .... 91344.202134: zfs_arc__hit: hdr ... lt-zpool-30132 [003] .... 91344.202146: zfs_arc__miss: hdr... z_rd_int/3-30159 [003] .... 91344.202457: zfs_new_state__mru... lt-zpool-30132 [003] .... 91344.202484: zfs_arc__miss: hdr... z_rd_int/4-30160 [003] .... 91344.202866: zfs_new_state__mru... lt-zpool-30132 [003] .... 91344.202891: zfs_arc__hit: hdr ... lt-zpool-30132 [001] .... 91344.203034: zfs_arc__miss: hdr... z_rd_iss/1-30149 [001] .... 91344.203749: zfs_new_state__mru... lt-zpool-30132 [001] .... 91344.203789: zfs_arc__hit: hdr ... lt-zpool-30132 [001] .... 91344.203878: zfs_arc__miss: hdr... z_rd_iss/3-30151 [001] .... 91344.204315: zfs_new_state__mru... lt-zpool-30132 [001] .... 91344.204332: zfs_arc__hit: hdr ... lt-zpool-30132 [001] .... 91344.204337: zfs_arc__hit: hdr ... lt-zpool-30132 [001] .... 91344.204352: zfs_arc__hit: hdr ... lt-zpool-30132 [001] .... 91344.204356: zfs_arc__hit: hdr ... lt-zpool-30132 [001] .... 91344.204360: zfs_arc__hit: hdr ... To highlight the kind of detailed information that is being exported using this infrastructure, I've taken the first tracepoint line from the output above and reformatted it such that it fits in 80 columns: lt-zpool-30132 [003] .... 91344.200050: zfs_arc__miss: hdr { dva 0x1:0x40082 birth 15491 cksum0 0x163edbff3a flags 0x640 datacnt 1 type 1 size 2048 spa 3133524293419867460 state_type 0 access 0 mru_hits 0 mru_ghost_hits 0 mfu_hits 0 mfu_ghost_hits 0 l2_hits 0 refcount 1 } bp { dva0 0x1:0x40082 dva1 0x1:0x3000e5 dva2 0x1:0x5a006e cksum 0x163edbff3a:0x75af30b3dd6:0x1499263ff5f2b:0x288bd118815e00 lsize 2048 } zb { objset 0 object 0 level -1 blkid 0 } For the specific tracepoint shown here, 'zfs_arc__miss', data is exported detailing the arc_buf_hdr_t (hdr), blkptr_t (bp), and zbookmark_t (zb) that caused the ARC miss (down to the exact DVA!). This kind of precise and detailed information can be extremely valuable when trying to answer certain kinds of questions. For anybody unfamiliar but looking to build on this, I found the XFS source code along with the following three web links to be extremely helpful: * http://lwn.net/Articles/379903/ * http://lwn.net/Articles/381064/ * http://lwn.net/Articles/383362/ I should also node the more "boring" aspects of this patch: * The ZFS_LINUX_COMPILE_IFELSE autoconf macro was modified to support a sixth paramter. This parameter is used to populate the contents of the new conftest.h file. If no sixth parameter is provided, conftest.h will be empty. * The ZFS_LINUX_TRY_COMPILE_HEADER autoconf macro was introduced. This macro is nearly identical to the ZFS_LINUX_TRY_COMPILE macro, except it has support for a fifth option that is then passed as the sixth parameter to ZFS_LINUX_COMPILE_IFELSE. These autoconf changes were needed to test the availability of the Linux tracepoint macros. Due to the odd nature of the Linux tracepoint macro API, a separate ".h" must be created (the path and filename is used internally by the kernel's define_trace.h file). * The HAVE_DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS autoconf macro was introduced. This is to determine if we can safely enable the Linux tracepoint functionality. We need to selectively disable the tracepoint code due to the kernel exporting certain functions as GPL only. Without this check, the build process will fail at link time. In addition, the SET_ERROR macro was modified into a tracepoint as well.
