There is limited visibility into the percpu memory allocator making it hard to
understand usage patterns. Without these concrete numbers, we are left to
conjecture about the correctness of percpu memory patterns and usage.
Additionally, there is no mechanism to review the correctness/efficiency of the
current implementation.
This patchset address the following:
- Adds basic statistics to reason about the number of allocations over the
lifetime, allocation sizes, and fragmentation.
- Adds tracepoints to enable better debug capabilities as well as the ability
to review allocation requests and corresponding decisions.
This patchiest contains the following four patches:
0001-percpu-add-missing-lockdep_assert_held-to-func-pcpu_.patch
0002-percpu-migrate-percpu-data-structures-to-internal-he.patch
0003-percpu-expose-statistics-about-percpu-memory-via-deb.patch
0004-percpu-add-tracepoint-support-for-percpu-memory.patch
0001 adds a missing lockdep_assert_held for pcpu_lock to improve consistency
and safety. 0002 prepares for the following patches by moving the definition of
data structures and exposes previously static variables. 0003 adds percpu
statistics via debugfs. 0004 adds tracepoints to key percpu events: chunk
creation/deletion and area allocation/free/failure.
This patchset is on top of linus#master 1132d5e.

Add support for tracepoints to the following events: chunk allocation,
chunk free, area allocation, area free, and area allocation failure.
This should let us replay percpu memory requests and evaluate
corresponding decisions.

There is limited visibility into the use of percpu memory leaving us
unable to reason about correctness of parameters and overall use of
percpu memory. These counters and statistics aim to help understand
basic statistics about percpu memory such as number of allocations over
the lifetime, allocation sizes, and fragmentation.

Migrates pcpu_chunk definition and a few percpu static variables to an
internal header file from mm/percpu.c. These will be used with debugfs
to expose statistics about percpu memory improving visibility regarding
allocations and fragmentation.

Applied to percpu/for-4.13. I had to update 0002 because of the
recent __ro_after_init changes. Can you please see whether I made any
mistakes while updating it?

There is a tagging mismatch in 0002. Can you please change or remove the __read_mostly annotation in mm/percpu-internal.h?

Commit 30a5b5367ef9 ("percpu: expose statistics about percpu memory via
debugfs") introduces percpu memory statistics. pcpu_stats_chunk_alloc
takes the spin lock and disables/enables irqs on creation of a chunk. Irqs
are not enabled when the first chunk is initialized and thus kernels are
failing to boot with kernel debugging enabled. Fixed by changing _irq to
_irqsave and _irqrestore.
Fixes: 30a5b5367ef9 ("percpu: expose statistics about percpu memory via debugfs")

Hi Sasha,
The root cause was from 0003 of that series where I prematurely enabled
irqs and the problem is addresssed here. I am able to boot with debug
options enabled.
Thanks,
Dennis

Just wondering: does this option make sense to enable on !SMP?
If not, you may want to make it depend on SMP.

provide useful data.
