The DTCM can not contain any +instructions, but the ITCM can actually contain data. +The size of DTCM or ITCM is minimum 4KiB so the typical +minimum configuration is 4KiB ITCM and 4KiB DTCM. + +ARM CPU:s have special registers to read out status, physical +location and size of TCM memories. arch/arm/include/asm/cputype.h +defines a CPUID_TCM register that you can read out from the +system control coprocessor. Documentation from ARM can be found +at http://infocenter.arm.com, search for "TCM Status Register" +to see documents for all CPUs. Reading this register you can +determine if ITCM (bit 0) and/or DTCM (bit 16) is present in the +machine. + +There is further a TCM region register (search for "TCM Region +Registers" at the ARM site) that can report and modify the location +size of TCM memories at runtime. This is used to read out and modify +TCM location and size. Notice that this is not a MMU table: you +actually move the physical location of the TCM around. At the +place you put it, it will mask any underlying RAM from the +CPU so it is usually wise not to overlap any physical RAM with +the TCM. The TCM memory exists totally outside the MMU and will +override any MMU mappings. + +Code executing inside the ITCM does not "see" any MMU mappings +and e.g. register accesses must be made to physical addresses. + +TCM is used for a few things: + +- FIQ and other interrupt handlers that need deterministic + timing and cannot wait for cache misses. + +- Idle loops where all external RAM is set to self-refresh + retention mode, so only on-chip RAM is accessible by + the CPU and then we hang inside ITCM waiting for an + interrupt. + +- Other operations which implies shutting off or reconfiguring + the external RAM controller. + +There is an interface for using TCM on the ARM architecture +in <asm/tcm.h>.

Per-CPU Allocator Activity +============================= +mm_page_alloc_zone_locked page=%p pfn=%lu order=%u migratetype=%d cpu=%d percpu_refill=%d +mm_page_pcpu_drain page=%p pfn=%lu order=%d cpu=%d migratetype=%d + +In front of the page allocator is a per-cpu page allocator.

The event +triggered is mm_page_alloc_zone_locked for each page allocated with the +event indicating whether it is for a percpu_refill or not. + +When the per-CPU list is too full, a number of pages are freed, each one +which triggers a mm_page_pcpu_drain event. + +The individual nature of the events are so that pages can be tracked +between allocation and freeing. A number of drain or refill pages that occur +consecutively imply the zone->lock being taken once. Large amounts of PCP +refills and drains could imply an imbalance between CPUs where too much work +is being concentrated in one place. It could also indicate that the per-CPU +lists should be a larger size. Finally, large amounts of refills on one CPU +and drains on another could be a factor in causing large amounts of cache +line bounces due to writes between CPUs and worth investigating if pages +can be allocated and freed on the same CPU through some algorithm change. + +5.

Introduction +=============== + +Tracepoints (see Documentation/trace/tracepoints.txt) can be used without +creating custom kernel modules to register probe functions using the event +tracing infrastructure. + +Simplistically, tracepoints will represent an important event that when can +be taken in conjunction with other tracepoints to build a "Big Picture" of +what is going on within the system. There are a large number of methods for +gathering and interpreting these events. Lacking any current Best Practises, +this document describes some of the methods that can be used. + +This document assumes that debugfs is mounted on /sys/kernel/debug and that +the appropriate tracing options have been configured into the kernel. It is +assumed that the PCL tool tools/perf has been installed and is in your path. + +2. Listing Available Events +=========================== + +2.1 Standard Utilities +---------------------- + +All possible events are visible from /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events. Simply +calling + + $ find /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events -type d + +will give a fair indication of the number of events available. + +2.2 PCL +------- + +Discovery and enumeration of all counters and events, including tracepoints +are available with the perf tool.

Enabling Events +================== + +2.1 System-Wide Event Enabling +------------------------------ + +See Documentation/trace/events.txt for a proper description on how events +can be enabled system-wide.

Analysing Event Variances with PCL +===================================== + +Any workload can exhibit variances between runs and it can be important +to know what the standard deviation in.

Higher-Level Analysis with Helper Scripts +============================================ + +When events are enabled the events that are triggering can be read from +/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_pipe in human-readable format although binary +options exist as well. By post-processing the output, further information can +be gathered on-line as appropriate. Examples of post-processing might include + + o Reading information from /proc for the PID that triggered the event + o Deriving a higher-level event from a series of lower-level events. + o Calculate latencies between two events + +Documentation/trace/postprocess/trace-pagealloc-postprocess.pl is an example +script that can read trace_pipe from STDIN or a copy of a trace. When used +on-line, it can be interrupted once to generate a report without existing +and twice to exit. + +Simplistically, the script just reads STDIN and counts up events but it +also can do more such as + + o Derive high-level events from many low-level events. If a number of pages + are freed to the main allocator from the per-CPU lists, it recognises + that as one per-CPU drain even though there is no specific tracepoint + for that event + o It can aggregate based on PID or individual process number + o In the event memory is getting externally fragmented, it reports + on whether the fragmentation event was severe or moderate. + o When receiving an event about a PID, it can record who the parent was so + that if large numbers of events are coming from very short-lived + processes, the parent process responsible for creating all the helpers + can be identified + +6. Lower-Level Analysis with PCL +================================ + +There may also be a requirement to identify what functions with a program +were generating events within the kernel. To begin this sort of analysis, the +data must be recorded. At the time of writing, this required root + + $ perf record -c 1 \ + -e kmem:mm_page_alloc -e kmem:mm_page_free_direct \ + -e kmem:mm_pagevec_free \ + ./hackbench 10 + Time: 0.894 + [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.733 MB perf.data (~32010 samples) ] + +Note the use of '-c 1' to set the event period to sample.

But it can be useful to any +application which generates many instances of the same data. + +KSM only merges anonymous (private) pages, never pagecache (file) pages. +KSM's merged pages are at present locked into kernel memory for as long +as they are shared: so cannot be swapped out like the user pages they +replace (but swapping KSM pages should follow soon in a later release). + +KSM only operates on those areas of address space which an application +has advised to be likely candidates for merging, by using the madvise(2) +system call: int madvise(addr, length, MADV_MERGEABLE). + +The app may call int madvise(addr, length, MADV_UNMERGEABLE) to cancel +that advice and restore unshared pages: whereupon KSM unmerges whatever +it merged in that range. Note: this unmerging call may suddenly require +more memory than is available - possibly failing with EAGAIN, but more +probably arousing the Out-Of-Memory killer. + +If KSM is not configured into the running kernel, madvise MADV_MERGEABLE +and MADV_UNMERGEABLE simply fail with EINVAL. If the running kernel was +built with CONFIG_KSM=y, those calls will normally succeed: even if the +the KSM daemon is not currently running, MADV_MERGEABLE still registers +the range for whenever the KSM daemon is started; even if the range +cannot contain any pages which KSM could actually merge; even if +MADV_UNMERGEABLE is applied to a range which was never MADV_MERGEABLE. + +Like other madvise calls, they are intended for use on mapped areas of +the user address space: they will report ENOMEM if the specified range +includes unmapped gaps (though working on the intervening mapped areas), +and might fail with EAGAIN if not enough memory for internal structures. + +Applications should be considerate in their use of MADV_MERGEABLE, +restricting its use to areas likely to benefit.
