Hi All,
The following patch set provides a low-overhead system for collecting kernel
tracing data of guests by a host in a virtualization environment.
A guest OS generally shares some devices with other guests or a host, so
reasons of any problems occurring in a guest may be from other guests or a host.
Then, to collect some tracing data of a number of guests and a host is needed
when some problems occur in a virtualization environment. One of methods to
realize that is to collect tracing data of guests in a host. To do this, network
is generally used. However, high load will be taken to applications on guests
using network I/O because there are many network stack layers. Therefore,
a communication method for collecting the data without using network is needed.
We submitted a patch set of "IVRing", a ring-buffer driver constructed on
Inter-VM shared memory (IVShmem), to LKML http://lwn.net/Articles/500304/ in
this June. IVRing and the IVRing reader use POSIX shared memory each other
without using network, so a low-overhead system for collecting guest tracing
data is realized. However, this patch set has some problems as follows:
- use IVShmem instead of virtio
- create a new ring-buffer without using existing ring-buffer in kernel
- scalability
-- not support SMP environment
-- buffer size limitation
-- not support live migration (maybe difficult for realize this)
Therefore, we propose a new system "virtio-trace", which uses enhanced
virtio-serial and existing ring-buffer of ftrace, for collecting guest kernel
tracing data. In this system, there are 5 main components:
(1) Ring-buffer of ftrace in a guest
- When trace agent reads ring-buffer, a page is removed from ring-buffer.
(2) Trace agent in the guest
- Splice the page of ring-buffer to read_pipe using splice() without
memory copying. Then, the page is spliced from write_pipe to virtio
without memory copying.
(3) Virtio-console driver in the guest
- Pass the page to virtio-ring
(4) Virtio-serial bus in QEMU
- Copy the page to kernel pipe
(5) Reader in the host
- Read guest tracing data via FIFO(named pipe)
Here, this patch set is only for guest kernels, so guest and host don't need to
run the same kernel.
In this patch set, we cannot get text-formatted data but raw-formatted data on
a host. perf and trace-cmd can actually translate raw to text by using
information of kernel or trace format under tracing/events directory in
debugfs. In the same way, if the information of a guest is exported to a host,
we can translate raw data of a guest to text data on a host or a remote host.
We will use 9pfs to export that.
***Evaluation***
When a host collects tracing data of a guest, the performance of using
virtio-trace is compared with that of using native(just running ftrace),
IVRing, and virtio-serial(normal method of read/write).
<environment>
The overview of this evaluation is as follows:
(a) A guest on a KVM is prepared.
- The guest is dedicated one physical CPU as a virtual CPU(VCPU).
(b) The guest starts to write tracing data to ring-buffer of ftrace.
- The probe points are all trace points of sched, timer, and kmem.
(c) Writing trace data, dhrystone 2 in UNIX bench is executed as a benchmark
tool in the guest.
- Dhrystone 2 intends system performance by repeating integer arithmetic
as a score.
- Since higher score equals to better system performance, if the score
decrease based on bare environment, it indicates that any operation
disturbs the integer arithmetic. Then, we define the overhead of
transporting trace data is calculated as follows:
OVERHEAD = (1 - SCORE_OF_A_METHOD/NATIVE_SCORE) * 100.
The performance of each method is compared as follows:
[1] Native
- only recording trace data to ring-buffer on a guest
[2] Virtio-trace
- running a trace agent on a guest
- a reader on a host opens FIFO using cat command
[3] IVRing
- A SystemTap script in a guest records trace data to IVRing.
-- probe points are same as ftrace.
[4] Virtio-serial(normal)
- A reader(using cat) on a guest output trace data to a host using
standard output via virtio-serial.
Other information is as follows:
- host
kernel: 3.3.7-1 (Fedora16)
CPU: Intel Xeon [email protected](12core)
Memory: 48GB
- guest(only booting one guest)
kernel: 3.5.0-rc4+ (Fedora16)
CPU: 1VCPU(dedicated)
Memory: 1GB
<result>
3 patterns based on the bare environment were indicated as follows:
Scores overhead against [0] Native
[0] Native: 28807569.5 -
[1] Virtio-trace: 28685049.5 0.43%
[2] IVRing: 28418595.5 1.35%
[3] Virtio-serial: 13262258.7 53.96%
***Just enhancement ideas***
- Support for trace-cmd
- Support for 9pfs protocol
- Support for non-blocking mode in QEMU
v2:
- Use GFP_KERNEL instead of GFP_ATOMIC in syscall context function in 1/6
- Just a minor fix for avoiding a confliction with previous patch in 5/6
- Cleanup (change fprintf() to pr_err() and an include guard) in 6/6
Thank you,

Enable to use splice_write from pipe to virtio-console port.
This steals pages from pipe and directly send it to host.
Note that this may accelerate only the guest to host path.
Changes in v2:
- Use GFP_KERNEL instead of GFP_ATOMIC in syscall context function.

Use generic steal operation on pipe buffer to allow stealing
ring buffer's read page from pipe buffer.
Note that this could reduce the performance of splice on the
splice_write side operation without affinity setting.
Since the ring buffer's read pages are allocated on the
tracing-node, but the splice user does not always execute
splice write side operation on the same node. In this case,
the page will be accessed from the another node.
Thus, it is strongly recommended to assign the splicing
thread to corresponding node.

This patch adds a user tool, "trace agent" for sending trace data of a guest to
a Host in low overhead. This agent has the following functions:
- splice a page of ring-buffer to read_pipe without memory copying
- splice the page from write_pipe to virtio-console without memory copying
- write trace data to stdout by using -o option
- controlled by start/stop orders from a Host
Changes in v2:
- Cleanup (change fprintf() to pr_err() and an include guard)

+Trace Agent for virtio-trace
+============================
+
+Trace agent is a user tool for sending trace data of a guest to a Host in low
+overhead. Trace agent has the following functions:
+ - splice a page of ring-buffer to read_pipe without memory copying
+ - splice the page from write_pipe to virtio-console without memory copying
+ - write trace data to stdout by using -o option
+ - controlled by start/stop orders from a Host
+
+The trace agent operates as follows:
+ 1) Initialize all structures.
+ 2) Create a read/write thread per CPU. Each thread is bound to a CPU.
+ The read/write threads hold it.
+ 3) A controller thread does poll() for a start order of a host.
+ 4) After the controller of the trace agent receives a start order from a host,
+ the controller wake read/write threads.
+ 5) The read/write threads start to read trace data from ring-buffers and
+ write the data to virtio-serial.
+ 6) If the controller receives a stop order from a host, the read/write threads
+ stop to read trace data.
+
+
+Files
+=====
+
+README: this file
+Makefile: Makefile of trace agent for virtio-trace
+trace-agent.c: includes main function, sets up for operating trace agent
+trace-agent.h: includes all structures and some macros
+trace-agent-ctl.c: includes controller function for read/write threads
+trace-agent-rw.c: includes read/write threads function
+
+
+Setup
+=====
+
+To use this trace agent for virtio-trace, we need to prepare some virtio-serial
+I/Fs.
+
+1) Make FIFO in a host
+ virtio-trace uses virtio-serial pipe as trace data paths as to the number
+of CPUs and a control path, so FIFO (named pipe) should be created as follows:
+ # mkdir /tmp/virtio-trace/
+ # mkfifo /tmp/virtio-trace/trace-path-cpu{0,1,2,...,X}.{in,out}
+ # mkfifo /tmp/virtio-trace/agent-ctl-path.{in,out}
+
+For example, if a guest use three CPUs, the names are
+ trace-path-cpu{0,1,2}.{in.out}
+and
+ agent-ctl-path.{in,out}.
+
+2) Set up of virtio-serial pipe in a host
+ Add qemu option to use virtio-serial pipe.
+
+ ##virtio-serial device##
+ -device virtio-serial-pci,id=virtio-serial0\
+ ##control path##
+ -chardev pipe,id=charchannel0,path=/tmp/virtio-trace/agent-ctl-path\
+ -device virtserialport,bus=virtio-serial0.0,nr=1,chardev=charchannel0,\
+ id=channel0,name=agent-ctl-path\
+ ##data path##
+ -chardev pipe,id=charchannel1,path=/tmp/virtio-trace/trace-path-cpu0\
+ -device virtserialport,bus=virtio-serial0.0,nr=2,chardev=charchannel0,\
+ id=channel1,name=trace-path-cpu0\
+ ...
+
+If you manage guests with libvirt, add the following tags to domain XML files.
+Then, libvirt passes the same command option to qemu.
+
+ <channel type='pipe'>
+ <source path='/tmp/virtio-trace/agent-ctl-path'/>
+ <target type='virtio' name='agent-ctl-path'/>
+ <address type='virtio-serial' controller='0' bus='0' port='0'/>
+ </channel>
+ <channel type='pipe'>
+ <source path='/tmp/virtio-trace/trace-path-cpu0'/>
+ <target type='virtio' name='trace-path-cpu0'/>
+ <address type='virtio-serial' controller='0' bus='0' port='1'/>
+ </channel>
+ ...
+Here, chardev names are restricted to trace-path-cpuX and agent-ctl-path. For
+example, if a guest use three CPUs, chardev names should be trace-path-cpu0,
+trace-path-cpu1, trace-path-cpu2, and agent-ctl-path.
+
+3) Boot the guest
+ You can find some chardev in /dev/virtio-ports/ in the guest.
+
+
+Run
+===
+
+0) Build trace agent in a guest
+ $ make
+
+1) Enable ftrace in the guest
+ <Example>
+ # echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/enable
+
+2) Run trace agent in the guest
+ This agent must be operated as root.
+ # ./trace-agent
+read/write threads in the agent wait for start order from host. If you add -o
+option, trace data are output via stdout in the guest.
+
+3) Open FIFO in a host
+ # cat /tmp/virtio-trace/trace-path-cpu0.out
+If a host does not open these, trace data get stuck in buffers of virtio. Then,
+the guest will stop by specification of chardev in QEMU. This blocking mode may
+be solved in the future.
+
+4) Start to read trace data by ordering from a host
+ A host injects read start order to the guest via virtio-serial.
+ # echo 1 > /tmp/virtio-trace/agent-ctl-path.in
+
+5) Stop to read trace data by ordering from a host
+ A host injects read stop order to the guest via virtio-serial.
+ # echo 0 > /tmp/virtio-trace/agent-ctl-path.in

Thankyou!
I've applied this, and it will head into linux-next in the next few
days.
Cheers,
Rusty.

ACK this series.
I ran it through the virtio-serial test suite, and there's no
regression in existing functionality.
I encourage you to check out the virtio-serial test suite[1] as well
as the virtio-serial unit tests in the autotest[2] code, and
contribute to them to add tests for the new functionality you've
added.

Ah, OK we'll look into them for adding some tests for
splice support :)
