 453	select TRACER_MAX_TRACE
 454	help
 455	  In the context of high-performance computing (HPC), the Operating
 456	  System Noise (osnoise) refers to the interference experienced by an
 457	  application due to activities inside the operating system. In the
 458	  context of Linux, NMIs, IRQs, SoftIRQs, and any other system thread
 459	  can cause noise to the system. Moreover, hardware-related jobs can
 460	  also cause noise, for example, via SMIs.
 461
 462	  The osnoise tracer leverages the hwlat_detector by running a similar
 463	  loop with preemption, SoftIRQs and IRQs enabled, thus allowing all
 464	  the sources of osnoise during its execution. The osnoise tracer takes
 465	  note of the entry and exit point of any source of interferences,
 466	  increasing a per-cpu interference counter. It saves an interference
 467	  counter for each source of interference. The interference counter for
 468	  NMI, IRQs, SoftIRQs, and threads is increased anytime the tool
 469	  observes these interferences' entry events. When a noise happens
 470	  without any interference from the operating system level, the
 471	  hardware noise counter increases, pointing to a hardware-related
 472	  noise. In this way, osnoise can account for any source of
 473	  interference. At the end of the period, the osnoise tracer prints
 474	  the sum of all noise, the max single noise, the percentage of CPU
 475	  available for the thread, and the counters for the noise sources.
 476
 477	  In addition to the tracer, a set of tracepoints were added to
 478	  facilitate the identification of the osnoise source.
 479
 480	  The output will appear in the trace and trace_pipe files.

 490	  The timerlat tracer aims to help the preemptive kernel developers
 491	  to find sources of wakeup latencies of real-time threads.
 492
 493	  The tracer creates a per-cpu kernel thread with real-time priority.
 494	  The tracer thread sets a periodic timer to wakeup itself, and goes
 495	  to sleep waiting for the timer to fire. At the wakeup, the thread
 496	  then computes a wakeup latency value as the difference between
 497	  the current time and the absolute time that the timer was set
 498	  to expire.
 499
 500	  The tracer prints two lines at every activation. The first is the
 501	  timer latency observed at the hardirq context before the
 502	  activation of the thread. The second is the timer latency observed
 503	  by the thread, which is the same level that cyclictest reports. The
 504	  ACTIVATION ID field serves to relate the irq execution to its
 505	  respective thread execution.
 506
 507	  The tracer is build on top of osnoise tracer, and the osnoise:
 508	  events can be used to trace the source of interference from NMI,
 509	  IRQs and other threads. It also enables the capture of the

 422	help
 423	  In the context of high-performance computing (HPC), the Operating
 424	  System Noise (osnoise) refers to the interference experienced by an
 425	  application due to activities inside the operating system. In the
 426	  context of Linux, NMIs, IRQs, SoftIRQs, and any other system thread
 427	  can cause noise to the system. Moreover, hardware-related jobs can
 428	  also cause noise, for example, via SMIs.
 429
 430	  The osnoise tracer leverages the hwlat_detector by running a similar
 431	  loop with preemption, SoftIRQs and IRQs enabled, thus allowing all
 432	  the sources of osnoise during its execution. The osnoise tracer takes
 433	  note of the entry and exit point of any source of interferences,
 434	  increasing a per-cpu interference counter. It saves an interference
 435	  counter for each source of interference. The interference counter for
 436	  NMI, IRQs, SoftIRQs, and threads is increased anytime the tool
 437	  observes these interferences' entry events. When a noise happens
 438	  without any interference from the operating system level, the
 439	  hardware noise counter increases, pointing to a hardware-related
 440	  noise. In this way, osnoise can account for any source of
 441	  interference. At the end of the period, the osnoise tracer prints
 442	  the sum of all noise, the max single noise, the percentage of CPU
 443	  available for the thread, and the counters for the noise sources.
 444
 445	  In addition to the tracer, a set of tracepoints were added to
 446	  facilitate the identification of the osnoise source.
 447
 448	  The output will appear in the trace and trace_pipe files.

 458	  The timerlat tracer aims to help the preemptive kernel developers
 459	  to find sources of wakeup latencies of real-time threads.
 460
 461	  The tracer creates a per-cpu kernel thread with real-time priority.
 462	  The tracer thread sets a periodic timer to wakeup itself, and goes
 463	  to sleep waiting for the timer to fire. At the wakeup, the thread
 464	  then computes a wakeup latency value as the difference between
 465	  the current time and the absolute time that the timer was set
 466	  to expire.
 467
 468	  The tracer prints two lines at every activation. The first is the
 469	  timer latency observed at the hardirq context before the
 470	  activation of the thread. The second is the timer latency observed
 471	  by the thread, which is the same level that cyclictest reports. The
 472	  ACTIVATION ID field serves to relate the irq execution to its
 473	  respective thread execution.
 474
 475	  The tracer is build on top of osnoise tracer, and the osnoise:
 476	  events can be used to trace the source of interference from NMI,
 477	  IRQs and other threads. It also enables the capture of the

1029	depends on RING_BUFFER
1030	help
1031	  This will audit the time stamps on the ring buffer sub
1032	  buffer to make sure that all the time deltas for the
1033	  events on a sub buffer matches the current time stamp.
1034	  This audit is performed for every event that is not
1035	  interrupted, or interrupting another event. A check
1036	  is also made when traversing sub buffers to make sure
1037	  that all the deltas on the previous sub buffer do not
1038	  add up to be greater than the current time stamp.
1039
1040	  NOTE: This adds significant overhead to recording of events,
1041	  and should only be used to test the logic of the ring buffer.
1042	  Do not use it on production systems.

1047config MMIOTRACE_TEST
1048	tristate "Test module for mmiotrace"
1049	depends on MMIOTRACE && m
1050	help
1051	  This is a dumb module for testing mmiotrace. It is very dangerous
1052	  as it will write garbage to IO memory starting at a given address.
1053	  However, it should be safe to use on e.g. unused portion of VRAM.
1054
1055	  Say N, unless you absolutely know what you are doing.

1057config PREEMPTIRQ_DELAY_TEST
1058	tristate "Test module to create a preempt / IRQ disable delay thread to test latency tracers"
1059	depends on m
1060	help
1061	  Select this option to build a test module that can help test latency
1062	  tracers by executing a preempt or irq disable section with a user
1063	  configurable delay. The module busy waits for the duration of the
1064	  critical section.
1065
1066	  For example, the following invocation generates a burst of three
1067	  irq-disabled critical sections for 500us:
1068	  modprobe preemptirq_delay_test test_mode=irq delay=500 burst_size=3
1069
1070	  What's more, if you want to attach the test on the cpu which the latency
1071	  tracer is running on, specify cpu_affinity=cpu_num at the end of the
1072	  command.

1103	depends on HIST_TRIGGERS
1104	help
1105          Add "hist_debug" file for each event, which when read will
1106          dump out a bunch of internal details about the hist triggers
1107          defined on that event.
1108
1109          The hist_debug file serves a couple of purposes:
1110
1111            - Helps developers verify that nothing is broken.
1112
1113            - Provides educational information to support the details
1114              of the hist trigger internals as described by
1115              Documentation/trace/histogram-design.rst.
1116
1117          The hist_debug output only covers the data structures
1118          related to the histogram definitions themselves and doesn't
1119          display the internals of map buckets or variable values of
1120          running histograms.
