However, these clients may need to perform * operations on the data which could cause a fault (e.g. copyout()), or * operations which are simply expensive. Doing so could cause deadlock * (e.g. if you're holding a disk's kstat lock which is ultimately required * to resolve a copyout() fault), performance degradation (since the providers' * activity is serialized at the kstat lock), device timing problems, etc. * * To avoid these problems, kstat data is provided via snapshots. Taking * a snapshot is a simple process: allocate a wired-down kernel buffer, * acquire the kstat's data lock, copy the data into the buffer ("take the * snapshot"), and release the lock. This ensures that the kstat's data lock * will be held as briefly as possible, and that no faults will occur while * the lock is held. * * Normally, the snapshot is taken by default_kstat_snapshot(), which * timestamps the data (sets ks_snaptime), copies it, and does a little * massaging to deal with incomplete transactions on i/o kstats. However, * this routine only works for kstats with contiguous data (the typical case). * If you create a kstat whose data is, say, a linked list, you must provide * your own ks_snapshot routine. The routine you supply must have the * following prototype (replace "foo" with something appropriate): * * int foo_kstat_snapshot(kstat_t *ksp, void *buf, int rw); * * The minimal snapshot routine -- one which copies contiguous data that * doesn't need any massaging -- would be this: * * ksp->ks_snaptime = gethrtime(); * if (rw == KSTAT_WRITE) * memcpy(ksp->ks_data, buf, ksp->ks_data_size); * else * memcpy(buf, ksp->ks_data, ksp->ks_data_size); * return (0); * * A more illuminating example is taking a snapshot of a linked list: * * ksp->ks_snaptime = gethrtime(); * if (rw == KSTAT_WRITE) * return (EACCES); ... See below ... * for (foo = first_foo; foo; foo = foo->next) { * memcpy(buf, foo, sizeof (struct foo)); * buf = ((struct foo *) buf) + 1; * } * return (0); * * In the example above, we have decided that we don't want to allow * KSTAT_WRITE access, so we return EACCES if this is attempted. * * The key points are: * * (1) ks_snaptime must be set (via gethrtime()) to timestamp the data. * (2) Data gets copied from the kstat to the buffer on KSTAT_READ, * and from the buffer to the kstat on KSTAT_WRITE. * (3) ks_snapshot return values are: 0 for success, EACCES if you * don't allow KSTAT_WRITE, and EIO for any other type of error. * * Named kstats (see section on "Named statistics" below) containing long * strings (KSTAT_DATA_STRING) need special handling. The kstat driver * assumes that all strings are copied into the buffer after the array of * named kstats, and the pointers (KSTAT_NAMED_STR_PTR()) are updated to point * into the copy within the buffer. The default snapshot routine does this, * but overriding routines should contain at least the following: * * if (rw == KSTAT_READ) { * kstat_named_t *knp = buf; * char *end = knp + ksp->ks_ndata; * uint_t i; * * ...

The only * difference between ephemeral (normal) kstats and persistent kstats * is that you pass KSTAT_FLAG_PERSISTENT to kstat_create(). Magically, * this has the effect of making your data visible even when you're * not home. Persistence is important to tools like iostat, which want * to get a meaningful picture of disk activity. Without persistence, * raw disk i/o statistics could never accumulate: they would come and * go with each open/close of the raw device. * * The magic of persistence works by slightly altering the behavior of * kstat_create() and kstat_delete(). The first call to kstat_create() * creates a new kstat, as usual. However, kstat_delete() does not * actually delete the kstat: it performs one final update of the data * (i.e., calls the ks_update routine), marks the kstat as dormant, and * sets the ks_lock, ks_update, ks_private, and ks_snapshot fields back * to their default values (since they might otherwise point to garbage, * e.g. if the provider is going away). kstat clients can still access * the dormant kstat just like a live kstat; they just continue to see * the final data values as long as the kstat remains dormant. * All subsequent kstat_create() calls simply find the already-existing, * dormant kstat and return a pointer to it, without altering any fields. * The provider then performs its usual initialization sequence, and * calls kstat_install(). kstat_install() uses the old data values to * initialize the native data (i.e., ks_update is called with KSTAT_WRITE), * thus making it seem like you were never gone. */ extern kstat_t *kstat_create(const char *, int, const char *, const char *, uchar_t, uint_t, uchar_t); extern kstat_t *kstat_create_zone(const char *, int, const char *, const char *, uchar_t, uint_t, uchar_t, zoneid_t); extern void kstat_install(kstat_t *); extern void kstat_delete(kstat_t *); extern void kstat_named_setstr(kstat_named_t *knp, const char *src); extern void kstat_set_string(char *, const char *); extern void kstat_delete_byname(const char *, int, const char *); extern void kstat_delete_byname_zone(const char *, int, const char *, zoneid_t); extern void kstat_named_init(kstat_named_t *, const char *, uchar_t); extern void kstat_timer_init(kstat_timer_t *, const char *); extern void kstat_timer_start(kstat_timer_t *); extern void kstat_timer_stop(kstat_timer_t *); extern void kstat_zone_add(kstat_t *, zoneid_t); extern void kstat_zone_remove(kstat_t *, zoneid_t); extern int kstat_zone_find(kstat_t *, zoneid_t); extern kstat_t *kstat_hold_bykid(kid_t kid, zoneid_t); extern kstat_t *kstat_hold_byname(const char *, int, const char *, zoneid_t); extern void kstat_rele(kstat_t *); #endif /* defined(_KERNEL) */ #ifdef __cplusplus } #endif #endif /* _SYS_KSTAT_H */
