From: Dmitry Ilvokhin <d@ilvokhin.com>
Monitoring tools periodically scan /proc/interrupts to export metrics as a
timeseries for future analysis and investigation.
In large fleets, /proc/interrupts is polled (often every few seconds) on
every machine. The cumulative overhead adds up quickly across thousands
of nodes, so reducing the cost of generating these stats does have a
measurable operational impact. With the ongoing trend toward higher core
counts per machine, this cost becomes even more noticeable over time,
since interrupt counters are per-CPU. In Meta's fleet, we have observed
this overhead at scale.
Although a binary /proc interface would be a better long-term solution
due to lower formatting (kernel side) and parsing (userspace side)
overhead, the text interface will remain in use for some time, even if
better solutions will be available. Optimizing the /proc/interrupts
printing code is therefore still beneficial.
Function seq_printf() supports rich format string for decimals printing,
but it doesn't required for printing /proc/interrupts per CPU counters,
seq_put_decimal_ull_width() function can be used instead to print per
CPU counters, because very limited formatting is required for this case.
Similar optimization idea is already used in show_interrupts().

Nit: The patch changes the alignment of the descriptions by 1 space (it
moves the descriptions to the left). If that's intentional, perhaps it
should be added to the description? TBH, I like it better like that
because the description is now aligned with the generic interrupts.

A large portion of interrupt count entries are zero. There is no point in
formatting the zero value as it is way cheeper to just emit a constant
string.
Collect the number of consecutive zero counts and emit them in one go
before a non-zero count and at the end of the line.

Interrupts which are not marked per CPU increment not only the per CPU
statistics, but also the accumulation counter irq_desc::tot_count.
Change the counter to type unsigned long so it does not produce sporadic
zeros due to wrap arounds on 64-bit machines and do a quick check for non
per CPU interrupts. If the counter is zero, then simply emit a full set of
zero strings. That spares the evaluation of the per CPU counters completely
for interrupts with zero events.

Having the x86 specific interrupt statistics as a data structure with
individual members instead of an array is just stupid as it requires
endless copy and paste in arch_show_interrupts() and arch_irq_stat_cpu(),
where the latter does not even take the latest interrupt additions into
account. The resulting #ifdef orgy is just disgusting.
Convert it to an array of counters, which does not make a difference in the
actual interrupt hotpath increment as the array index is constant and
therefore not any different than the member based access.
But in arch_show_interrupts() and arch_irq_stat_cpu() this just turns into
a loop, which reduces the text size by ~2k (~12%):
text data bss dec hex filename
19643 15250 904 35797 8bd5 ../build/arch/x86/kernel/irq.o
17355 15250 904 33509 82e5 ../build/arch/x86/kernel/irq.o
Adding a new vector or software counter only requires to update the table
and everything just works. Using the core provided emit function which
speeds up 0 outputs makes it significantly faster.

It's still a terrible word. I have a hard time typing it even when
focused on it. :-( But it is what it is. I'm hoping its raison
d'etre will have timed out in a few years and we can
deprecate the entire reenlightenment mechanism.

In the interest of keeping this email readable, I removed the diff part

I believe this breaks scripts/gdb/linux/interrupts.py, particularly the
x86_show_irqstat() function, which still expects individual members in
struct irq_cpustat_t.

Nit: This moves the description text by one more space to the left (in
addition to the one in patch 1), and now the description is no longer
aligned to the generic interrupts.

Uurg. I did not even know this exists. Let me try to polish the snake.

Something like the below should work, now I have to figure out how to
test it.

At a glance, it looks about right (although I haven't tested it). The
test procedure involves running the kernel in a Qemu VM and attaching
with gdb to Qemu's gdb server (apologies if I'm just stating the
obvious here). It's briefly described here:
Documentation/dev-tools/gdb-kernel-debugging.rst
The documentation doesn't elaborate on Qemu parameters. I'm using
something like this:
qemu-system-x86_64 -nographic -m 1G -accel kvm -machine q35,hpet=off -cpu host -smp 4 \
-netdev bridge,br=vbr-nat,id=net0 -device virtio-net-pci,mac=52:54:98:aa:bb:cc,netdev=net0 \
-drive file=root.img,format=raw,if=virtio \
-kernel bzImage \
-append "console=ttyS0 root=/dev/vda1 rw nokaslr" \
-s
Happy to help if something doesn't quite work for you.

I tested it, and it's very close but requires a few extra changes,
which I included as a patch at the bottom.
There's one more gotcha: in the next patch (patch 5) you rename nr_irqs
to total_nr_irqs, and the change must be applied to interrupts.py as
well. It's used at the beginning of the LxInterruptList.invoke()
function.
One other issue I came across is that the fields below are not defined
for me (even though the corresponding config options do exist in the
kernel config file):
constants.LX_CONFIG_X86_HV_CALLBACK_VECTOR
constants.LX_CONFIG_HYPERV
constants.LX_CONFIG_GUEST_PERF_EVENTS
constants.LX_CONFIG_X86_POSTED_MSI
I didn't spend the time to figure out why. I'm pretty sure this is
completely unrelated to your changes.

All of this is overly complicated. That can directly use the
irq_stat_info array and therefore stays always in sync without ever
touching that python nightmare again.
Replacement patch below (works only after 5/14 obviously).

Sigh, yes. This GDB python insanity is a pain, debugging it even more so.

What bothers me most on the kernel side is that there is neither
annotation, which tells something is used in a gdb script, nor a compile
time check.
So if Radu hadn't noticed and pointed it out, I wouldn't have known
about it at all.
The insanity snark was just my annoyance about the python integration
into gdb. It's amazing that a debugger provides an extension interface
which is undebuggable. But admittedly it's at least consistent with the
rest of GDB's usability.
I know why I prefer the DBT (Debug By Thinking) debugger. :)

Yes that's a fair point and it has been a complaint of mine whenever I
had to use the GDB scripts because they get out of sync so easily with
the code they are trying to parse, at some point it's not even fun.
This should still apply if you want to take it:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250625231053.1134589-6-florian.fainelli@broadcom.com/
As far as ensuring that the C/Rust code stays in sync with GDB at
compile time, did not have any bright idea about how to do that.

Oh yes, that's something that was learned the hard way on my side too,
not sure why that's not the default, much hair pulling resulted from
having incomplete backtraces.

That's just delegating something unenforcable, not automatically
testable to other maintainers. So it's not solving anything.
You want something which breaks the build for the submitter so that he
needs to go and fix up the gdb script or at least ask for help if he
can't figure it out on his own. If he does not build with debug enabled
the CI robots will catch it and send him back to the drawing board.
> As far as ensuring that the C/Rust code stays in sync with GDB at

Add parseable annotation into each of the snake scripts:
class kernel_dep(object):
def __init__(self, name, member=None, config=None, type=TYPE_VAR)
self.name = name
self.member = member
self.config = config
self.type = type
and per unit you add:
kernel_dependencies = [
kernel_dep(TYPE_VAR, 'nr_irqs'),
kernel_dep(TYPE_VAR, 'irq_stat', '__nmi_count', 'CONFIG_X86'),
kernel_dep('irq_chip', 'name', type=TYPE_STRUCT),
....
]
or something daft like that. I'm 100% sure that real snake experts will
come up with a way more elegant solution, but you get the idea.
Then have a script which collects this information from the source files
and validates it against the debug information in vmlinux. Obviously
this would allow you to validate the snake code against those
dependencies as well.
The first two entries would have caught both changes I made, the array
conversion of irq_stat and the rename of nr_irqs.
Hmm?
Thanks,

Of course! That's why you created irq_stat_info in the first place, and
the gdb/python approach is now similar to what you did on the kernel
side. I guess the solution was too obvious for either of us to see on
the first iteration :)

I tested it, and I can confirm it works.

I agree, debugging it is not very friendly. But in case you ever have
to deal with it again, you may find this helpful:
* print() in python code works (you'll see the output in gdb);
* there's a "set python print-stack full" command; once enabled,
you'll see something like this:
(gdb) lx-interruptlist
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/..../scripts/gdb/linux/interrupts.py", line 187, in invoke
nr_irqs = gdb.parse_and_eval("total_nr_irqs1")

Nit: This is modified again in the next patch, so it doesn't matter.
But for the purpose of this patch in isolation, looking at where
ACTUAL_NR_IRQS is used, in show_interrupts() the nr_irqs variable
should also be initialized to total_nr_irqs to avoid the extra function
call.

show_interrupts() evaluates a boatload of conditions to establish whether
exposing an interrupt in /proc/interrupts or not.
That can be simplified by caching the condition in an internal status flag,
which is updated when one of the relevant inputs changes.
As a result the number of instructions and branches for reading
/proc/interrupts is reduced significantly.

Can desc->kstat_irqs ever be NULL? Looking at kernel/irq/irqdesc.c, it
seems to me that it's allocated always and very early (before every
other field in struct irq_desc), and with an explicit check for NULL on
allocation. It's also deallocated late, right before struct irq_desc
itself is deallocated (in irq_kobj_release()).
Other than that, LGTM.

Well spotted. That's a left over from histerical code.

Thanks for confirming! I was intrigued because you removed that check
in a previous patch, and I looked. And while looking, I noticed there
were quite a few other spots where the check was still done, and I
wanted to ask you anyway. I'll prepare a cleanup patch and send it.

Calculating the precision of the interrupt number column on every initial
show_interrupt() invocation is a pointless exercise as the underlying
maximum number of interrupts rarely changes.
Calculate it only when that number is modified and let show_interrupts()
use the cached value.

Is the drop of guard(rcu)() intentional here? irq_get_next_irq()
dereferences the returned pointer after mt_find() has dropped
rcu_read_unlock(). Should it hold its own guard(rcu)() to keep the same
behaviour as before?

Good catch. The caller of irq_find_at_or_after() needs to hold it.

Just double checked. I have lockdep enabled, but it can't catch it the
way the code is written. The new iterater code holds it otherwise
rcuref_get() would have triggered it.
I've added it back and added a lockdep assert into
irq_find_at_or_after().
You just caught it before I was preparing the V3 post. Let me re-run the
test before I do so.
Thanks,

Reading /proc/interrupts iterates over the interrupt number space one by
one and looks up the descriptors one by one. That's just a waste of time.
When CONFIG_GENERIC_IRQ_SHOW is enabled this can utilize the maple tree and
cache the descriptor pointer efficiently for the sequence file operations.
Implement a CONFIG_GENERIC_IRQ_SHOW specific version in the core code and
leave the fs/proc/ variant for the legacy architectures which ignore generic
code.
This reduces the time wasted for looking up the next record significantly.

Some places can be optimized by caching the target CPU for single CPU
affinities. That avoids finding the single CPU in the effective affinity
mask. Provide infrastructure for that.

/proc/interrupts is expensive to evaluate for monitoring because:
- it is text based and contains a lot of information which is not
relevant for interrupt frequency analysis. Due to the extra information
like chip name, hardware interrupt number, interrupt action names, it
has to take the interrupt descriptor lock to output those items into
the seq_file buffer. That obviously interferes with high frequency
interrupt workloads.
- it contains both device interrupts, per CPU and architecture specific
interrupt counters without being able to look at them separately. The
file is seekable by some definition of seekable as the position can
change when interrupts are requested or freed, so the data has to be
read completely to get a coherent picture.
- it emits records for requested interrupts even if their interrupt count
is zero.
- it always prints the per CPU counters even if all but one of them are
zero.
- converting numbers to text and then parsing the text back to numbers in
user space is a pretty wasteful exercise
Provide a new interface which addresses the above pain points:
1) The interface is binary and emits variable length records per
interrupt. Each record starts with a header containing the interrupt
number and the number of data entries following the header. The data
entries consist of a CPU number and count pair.
2) Interrupts with a total count of zero are skipped and produce no
output at all.
3) Interrupts which have a single CPU affinity either due to a restricted
affinity mask or due to the underlying interrupt chip restricting a
mask to a single CPU target emit only one data entry.
That means they are not emitting the stale counts on previous target
CPUs but they are not really interesting for interrupt frequency
analysis as they are not changing and therefore pointless for
accounting.
4) The interface separates device interrupts, per CPU interrupts and
architecture specific interrupts.
Per CPU and architecture specific interrupts can only be monitored,
while device interrupts can also be steered by changing the affinity
unless they are affinity managed by the kernel.
Per CPU interrupts are only available on architectures, e.g. ARM64,
which use the regular interrupt descriptor mechanism for per CPU
interrupt handling.
Architectures which have their own mechanics, e.g. x86, do not enable
and provide the per CPU interface as those interrupts are covered by
the architecture specific accounting.
5) The readout is fully lockless so it does not interfere with concurrent
interrupt handling.
6) Seek is restricted to seek(fd, 0, SEEK_SET) as that's the only
operation which makes sense due to the variable record length and the
dynamics of interrupt request/free operations which influence the
position of the records in the output. For all other seek()
invocations return the current file position, which makes e.g. python
happy as an error code causes the file open checks to mark the
resulting file object non-seekable.
Implement support for /proc/irq/device_stats and /proc/irq/percpu_stats.
The support for architecture specific interrupt statistics is added in a
separate step.
Reading /proc/irq/device_stats on a 256 CPU x86 machine with 83 requested
interrupts produces 13 records due to skipping zero count interrupts. It
results in 13 * 16 = 208 bytes of data as all device interrupts on x86 are
single CPU targeted. That readout takes ~8us time in the kernel, while the
full /proc/interrupts readout takes about 360us.

Provide a binary statistics interface similar to the per device and per CPU
interfaces to access the architecture specific interrupt statistics.
The architecture has to select it in Kconfig and provide an accessor to the
per CPU interrupt information and the number of architecture specific
entries.
The entries are ordered by a numerical index starting from 0, which
corresponds to the ordering of those interrupts in /proc/interrupt. The
output format is the same as for the per device and per CPU interfaces and
only contains entries which have an interrupt count > 0.
Reading the architecture specific counters of a 256 CPU x86 system takes
36us kernel time for 6 interrupts with non-zero counts and produces about
10k of data.

Tested in Hyper-V guests on x86/x64 and arm64. Did basic smoke tests
of taking a CPU offline, and removing a PCI device along with its IRQs,
then adding them back again. No issues seen except for a typo in the
Hyper-V reenlightenment IRQ text description as noted in my reply to
Patch 4 of the series. I did not do anything with the new binary
interface.
For the series (excluding the binary interface),
