      psi: introduce psi monitor · 0e94682b
      Suren Baghdasaryan authored 
      Psi monitor aims to provide a low-latency short-term pressure detection
mechanism configurable by users.  It allows users to monitor psi metrics
growth and trigger events whenever a metric raises above user-defined
threshold within user-defined time window.

Time window and threshold are both expressed in usecs.  Multiple psi
resources with different thresholds and window sizes can be monitored
concurrently.

Psi monitors activate when system enters stall state for the monitored
psi metric and deactivate upon exit from the stall state.  While system
is in the stall state psi signal growth is monitored at a rate of 10
times per tracking window.  Min window size is 500ms, therefore the min
monitoring interval is 50ms.  Max window size is 10s with monitoring
interval of 1s.

When activated psi monitor stays active for at least the duration of one
tracking window to avoid repeated activations/deactivations when psi
signal is bouncing.

Notifications to the users are rate-limited to one per tracking window.

      taskstats: pad taskstats netlink response for aligment issues on ia64 · 4be2c95d
      Jeff Mahoney authored 
      
The taskstats structure is internally aligned on 8 byte boundaries but the
layout of the aggregrate reply, with two NLA headers and the pid (each 4
bytes), actually force the entire structure to be unaligned.  This causes
the kernel to issue unaligned access warnings on some architectures like
ia64.  Unfortunately, some software out there doesn't properly unroll the
NLA packet and assumes that the start of the taskstats structure will
always be 20 bytes from the start of the netlink payload.  Aligning the
start of the taskstats structure breaks this software, which we don't
want.  So, for now the alignment only happens on architectures that
require it and those users will have to update to fixed versions of those
packages.  Space is reserved in the packet only when needed.  This ifdef
should be removed in several years e.g.  2012 once we can be confident
that fixed versions are installed on most systems.  We add the padding
before the aggregate since the aggregate is already a defined type.

Commit 85893120 ("delayacct: align to 8 byte boundary on 64-bit systems")
previously addressed the alignment issues by padding out the pid field.
This was supposed to be a compatible change but the circumstances
described above mean that it wasn't.  This patch backs out that change,
since it was a hack, and introduces a new NULL attribute type to provide
the padding.  Padding the response with 4 bytes avoids allocating an
aligned taskstats structure and copying it back.  Since the structure
weighs in at 328 bytes, it's too big to do it on the stack.

      delay-accounting: reimplement -c for getdelays.c to report information on a target command · db9e5679
      Mel Gorman authored 
      
Task delay-accounting was identified as one means of determining how long
a process spends in congestion_wait() without adding new statistics.  For
example, if the workload should not be doing IO, delay-accounting could
reveal how long it was spending in unexpected IO or delays.
Unfortunately, on closer examination it was clear that getdelays does not
act as documented.

Commit a3baf649 ("per-task-delay-accounting: documentation") added
Documentation/accounting/getdelays.c with a -c switch that was documented
to fork/exec a child and report statistics on it but for reasons that are
unclear to me, commit 9e06d3f9 deleted support for this switch but did not
update the documentation.  It might be an oversight or it might be because
the control flow of the program meant that accounting information would be
printed once early in the lifetime of the program making it of limited
use.

This patch reimplements -c for getdelays.c to act as documented.  Unlike
the original version, it waits until the command completes before printing
any information on it.  An example of it being used looks like

$ ./getdelays -d -c find /home/mel -name mel
print delayacct stats ON
/home/mel

      docsrc: build Documentation/ sources · 3794f3e8
      Randy Dunlap authored 
      
Currently source files in the Documentation/ sub-dir can easily bit-rot
since they are not generally buildable, either because they are hidden in
text files or because there are no Makefile rules for them.  This needs to
be fixed so that the source files remain usable and good examples of code
instead of bad examples.

Add the ability to build source files that are in the Documentation/ dir.
Add to Kconfig as "BUILD_DOCSRC" config symbol.

Use "CONFIG_BUILD_DOCSRC=1 make ..." to build objects from the
Documentation/ sources.  Or enable BUILD_DOCSRC in the *config system.
However, this symbol depends on HEADERS_CHECK since the header files need
to be installed (for userspace builds).

Built (using cross-tools) for x86-64, i386, alpha, ia64, sparc32,
sparc64, powerpc, sh, m68k, & mips.

      Add cgroupstats · 846c7bb0
      Balbir Singh authored 
      This patch is inspired by the discussion at
http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/4/11/187 and implements per cgroup statistics
as suggested by Andrew Morton in http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/4/11/263

.  The
patch is on top of 2.6.21-mm1 with Paul's cgroups v9 patches (forward
ported)

This patch implements per cgroup statistics infrastructure and re-uses
code from the taskstats interface.  A new set of cgroup operations are
registered with commands and attributes.  It should be very easy to
*extend* per cgroup statistics, by adding members to the cgroupstats
structure.

The current model for cgroupstats is a pull, a push model (to post
statistics on interesting events), should be very easy to add.  Currently
user space requests for statistics by passing the cgroup file
descriptor.  Statistics about the state of all the tasks in the cgroup
is returned to user space.

TODO's/NOTE:

This patch provides an infrastructure for implementing cgroup statistics.
Based on the needs of each controller, we can incrementally add more statistics,
event based support for notification of statistics, accumulation of taskstats
into cgroup statistics in the future.

Sample output

# ./cgroupstats -C /cgroup/a
sleeping 2, blocked 0, running 1, stopped 0, uninterruptible 0

# ./cgroupstats -C /cgroup/
sleeping 154, blocked 0, running 0, stopped 0, uninterruptible 0

If the approach looks good, I'll enhance and post the user space utility for
the same

Feedback, comments, test results are always welcome!

Make available to the user the following task and process performance
statistics:

	* Involuntary Context Switches (task_struct->nivcsw)
	* Voluntary Context Switches (task_struct->nvcsw)

Statistics information is available from:
	1. taskstats interface (Documentation/accounting/)
	2. /proc/PID/status (task only).

This data is useful for detecting hyperactivity patterns between processes.
