2 * trace_hwlatdetect.c - A simple Hardware Latency detector.
3 *
4 * Use this tracer to detect large system latencies induced by the behavior of
5 * certain underlying system hardware or firmware, independent of Linux itself.
6 * The code was developed originally to detect the presence of SMIs on Intel
7 * and AMD systems, although there is no dependency upon x86 herein.
8 *
9 * The classical example usage of this tracer is in detecting the presence of
10 * SMIs or System Management Interrupts on Intel and AMD systems. An SMI is a
11 * somewhat special form of hardware interrupt spawned from earlier CPU debug
12 * modes in which the (BIOS/EFI/etc.) firmware arranges for the South Bridge
13 * LPC (or other device) to generate a special interrupt under certain
14 * circumstances, for example, upon expiration of a special SMI timer device,
15 * due to certain external thermal readings, on certain I/O address accesses,
16 * and other situations. An SMI hits a special CPU pin, triggers a special
17 * SMI mode (complete with special memory map), and the OS is unaware.
18 *
19 * Although certain hardware-inducing latencies are necessary (for example,
20 * a modern system often requires an SMI handler for correct thermal control
21 * and remote management) they can wreak havoc upon any OS-level performance
22 * guarantees toward low-latency, especially when the OS is not even made
23 * aware of the presence of these interrupts. For this reason, we need a
24 * somewhat brute force mechanism to detect these interrupts. In this case,
25 * we do it by hogging all of the CPU(s) for configurable timer intervals,
26 * sampling the built-in CPU timer, looking for discontiguous readings.
27 *
28 * WARNING: This implementation necessarily introduces latencies. Therefore,
29 * you should NEVER use this tracer while running in a production
30 * environment requiring any kind of low-latency performance
31 * guarantee(s).

3 * trace_hwlat.c - A simple Hardware Latency detector.
4 *
5 * Use this tracer to detect large system latencies induced by the behavior of
6 * certain underlying system hardware or firmware, independent of Linux itself.
7 * The code was developed originally to detect the presence of SMIs on Intel
8 * and AMD systems, although there is no dependency upon x86 herein.
9 *
10 * The classical example usage of this tracer is in detecting the presence of
11 * SMIs or System Management Interrupts on Intel and AMD systems. An SMI is a
12 * somewhat special form of hardware interrupt spawned from earlier CPU debug
13 * modes in which the (BIOS/EFI/etc.) firmware arranges for the South Bridge
14 * LPC (or other device) to generate a special interrupt under certain
15 * circumstances, for example, upon expiration of a special SMI timer device,
16 * due to certain external thermal readings, on certain I/O address accesses,
17 * and other situations. An SMI hits a special CPU pin, triggers a special
18 * SMI mode (complete with special memory map), and the OS is unaware.
19 *
20 * Although certain hardware-inducing latencies are necessary (for example,
21 * a modern system often requires an SMI handler for correct thermal control
22 * and remote management) they can wreak havoc upon any OS-level performance
23 * guarantees toward low-latency, especially when the OS is not even made
24 * aware of the presence of these interrupts. For this reason, we need a
25 * somewhat brute force mechanism to detect these interrupts. In this case,
26 * we do it by hogging all of the CPU(s) for configurable timer intervals,
27 * sampling the built-in CPU timer, looking for discontiguous readings.
28 *
29 * WARNING: This implementation necessarily introduces latencies. Therefore,
30 * you should NEVER use this tracer while running in a production
31 * environment requiring any kind of low-latency performance
32 * guarantee(s).
