[PATCH v5 7/7] sched, smp: Trace smp callback causing an IPI

Valentin Schneider
2023-03-07T14:48:55Z

Context
=======

The newly-introduced ipi_send_cpumask tracepoint has a "callback" parameter
which so far has only been fed with NULL.

While CSD_TYPE_SYNC/ASYNC and CSD_TYPE_IRQ_WORK share a similar backing
struct layout (meaning their callback func can be accessed without caring
about the actual CSD type), CSD_TYPE_TTWU doesn't even have a function
attached to its struct. This means we need to check the type of a CSD
before eventually dereferencing its associated callback.

This isn't as trivial as it sounds: the CSD type is stored in
__call_single_node.u_flags, which get cleared right before the callback is
executed via csd_unlock(). This implies checking the CSD type before it is
enqueued on the call_single_queue, as the target CPU's queue can be flushed
before we get to sending an IPI.

Furthermore, send_call_function_single_ipi() only has a CPU parameter, and
would need to have an additional argument to trickle down the invoked
function. This is somewhat silly, as the extra argument will always be
pushed down to the function even when nothing is being traced, which is
unnecessary overhead.

Changes
=======

send_call_function_single_ipi() is only used by smp.c, and is defined in
sched/core.c as it contains scheduler-specific ops (set_nr_if_polling() of
a CPU's idle task).

Split it into two parts: the scheduler bits remain in sched/core.c, and the
actual IPI emission is moved into smp.c. This lets us define an
__always_inline helper function that can take the related callback as
parameter without creating useless register pressure in the non-traced path
which only gains a (disabled) static branch.

Do the same thing for the multi IPI case.
