Add two trace points x86_fpu_latency_xsave and x86_fpu_latency_xrstor.
The latency dumped by the new trace points can tell when XSAVE/XRSTOR
are getting more or less expensive, and get out the RFBM
(requested-feature bitmap) and XINUSE to figure out the reason.
Calculate the latency of instructions XSAVE and XRSTOR within a
single trace event respectively. Another option considered was to
have 2 separated trace events marking the start and finish of the
XSAVE/XRSTOR. The latency was calculated from the 2 trace points in
user space, but there was significant overhead added by the trace
function itself.
In internal testing, the single trace point option which is
implemented here proved to save big overhead introduced by trace
function.
Make use of trace_clock() to calculate the latency, which is based on
cpu_clock() with precision at most ~1 jiffy between CPUs.
CONFIG_X86_DEBUG_FPU and CONFIG_TRACEPOINTS are required. And the
compiler will get rid of all the extra crust when either of the two
configs is disabled.
If both of the configs are enabled, xsave/xrstor_tracing_enabled
would be reduced to a static check for tracing enabled. Thus, in the
fast path there would be only 2 additional static checks.
Since trace points can be enabled dynamically, while the code is
checking tracepoint_enabled(trace_event), the trace_event could be
concurrently enabled. Hence there is probability to get single once
noisy result 'trace_clock() - (-1)' at the moment enabling the trace
points x86_fpu_latency_*. Leave the noise here instead of additional
conditions while calling the x86_fpu_latency_* because it's not worth
for the only once noise. It's easy to filter out by the following
consuming script or other user space tool.
Trace log looks like following:
x86_fpu_latency_xsave: x86/fpu: latency:100 RFBM:0x202e7 XINUSE:0x202
x86_fpu_latency_xrstor: x86/fpu: latency:99 RFBM:0x202e7 XINUSE:0x202

Consume the trace log dumped by trace points x86_fpu_latency_xsave and
x86_fpu_latency_xrstor, calculate latency ranges for each RFBM and
XINUSE combination including min, max, average and 97% tail latency.
Add the average of 97% tail latency to remove the unreasonable
data which is introduced by interrupts or other noise. By adding the
experimental code disabling interrupts before the calculation of
latency, it's obvious to get the 3% tail latency has been filtered.
Make use of sqlite3 to make the data statistics more efficient and
concise. The output looks like following:
EVENTs RFBM XINUSE lat_min lat_max lat_avg lat_avg(97%)
---------------------- ------- ------ ------- ------- ------- ------------
x86_fpu_latency_xrstor 0x206e7 0x0 364 364 364 364
x86_fpu_latency_xrstor 0x206e7 0x202 112 1152 300 276
x86_fpu_latency_xsave 0x206e7 0x202 80 278 141 137
x86_fpu_latency_xsave 0x206e7 0x246 108 234 180 177
The XSAVE/XRSTOR latency trace log can be got by two ways:
1. Generated by Kernel debugfs
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/x86_fpu/enable
cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_pipe > trace-log
2. Generated by helper tool like 'trace-cmd'
trace-cmd record -e x86_fpu -F <command>
trace-cmd report > trace-log
