Prakash Surya	ca0bf58d65	Illumos 5497 - lock contention on arcs_mtx ... Reviewed by: George Wilson <george.wilson@delphix.com> Reviewed by: Matthew Ahrens <mahrens@delphix.com> Reviewed by: Richard Elling <richard.elling@richardelling.com> Approved by: Dan McDonald <danmcd@omniti.com> Porting notes and other significant code changes: The illumos 5368 patch (ARC should cache more metadata), which was never picked up by ZoL, is mostly reverted by this patch. Since ZoL relies on the kernel asynchronously calling the shrinker to actually reap memory, the shrinker wakes up arc_reclaim_waiters_cv every time it runs. The arc_adapt_thread() function no longer calls arc_do_user_evicts() since the newly-added arc_user_evicts_thread() calls it periodically. Notable conflicting ZoL commits which conflicted with this patch or whose effects are either duplicated or un-done by this patch: 302f753 - Integrate ARC more tightly with Linux 39e055c - Adjust arc_p based on "bytes" in arc_shrink f521ce1 - Allow "arc_p" to drop to zero or grow to "arc_c" 77765b5 - Remove "arc_meta_used" from arc_adjust calculation 94520ca - Prune metadata from ghost lists in arc_adjust_meta Trace support for multilist_insert() and multilist_remove() has been added and produces the following output: fio-12498 [077] .... 112936.448324: zfs_multilist__insert: ml { offset 240 numsublists 80 sublistidx 63 } fio-12498 [077] .... 112936.448347: zfs_multilist__remove: ml { offset 240 numsublists 80 sublistidx 29 } The following arcstats have been removed: recycle_miss - Used by arcstat.py and arc_summary.py, both of which have been updated appropriately. l2_writes_hdr_miss The following arcstats have been added: evict_not_enough - Number of times arc_evict_state() was unable to evict enough buffers to reach its target amount. evict_l2_skip - Number of times arc_evict_hdr() skipped eviction because it was being written to the l2arc. l2_writes_lock_retry - Replaces l2_writes_hdr_miss. Number of times l2arc_write_done() failed to acquire hash_lock (and re-tries). arc_meta_min - Shows the value of the zfs_arc_meta_min module parameter (see below). The "index" column of the "dbuf" kstat has been removed since it doesn't have a direct analog in the new multilist scheme. Additional multilist- related stats could be added in the future but would likely require extensions to the mulilist API. The following module parameters have been added: zfs_arc_evict_batch_limit - Number of ARC headers to free per sub-list before moving on to the next sub-list. zfs_arc_meta_min - Enforce a floor on the amount of metadata in the ARC. zfs_arc_num_sublists_per_state - Number of multilist sub-lists per ARC state. zfs_arc_overflow_shift - Controls amount by which the ARC must exceed the target size to be considered "overflowing".

Ned Bass	49ee64e5e6	Remove duplicate typedefs from trace.h ... Older versions of GCC (e.g. GCC 4.4.7 on RHEL6) do not allow duplicate typedef declarations with the same type. The trace.h header contains some typedefs to avoid 'unknown type' errors for C files that haven't declared the type in question. But this causes build failures for C files that have already declared the type. Newer versions of GCC (e.g. v4.6) allow duplicate typedefs with the same type unless pedantic error checking is in force. To support the older versions we need to remove the duplicate typedefs. Removal of the typedefs means we can't built tracepoints code using those types unless the required headers have been included. To facilitate this, all tracepoint event declarations have been moved out of trace.h into separate headers. Each new header is explicitly included from the C file that uses the events defined therein. The trace.h header is still indirectly included form zfs_context.h and provides the implementation of the dprintf(), dbgmsg(), and SET_ERROR() interfaces. This makes those interfaces readily available throughout the code base. The macros that redefine DTRACE_PROBE* to use Linux tracepoints are also still provided by trace.h, so it is a prerequisite for the other trace_*.h headers. These new Linux implementation-specific headers do introduce a small divergence from upstream ZFS in several core C files, but this should not present a significant maintenance burden.

Prakash Surya	0b39b9f96f	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. 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.
