| 475 | help |
| 476 | In the context of high-performance computing (HPC), the Operating |
| 477 | System Noise (osnoise) refers to the interference experienced by an |
| 478 | application due to activities inside the operating system. In the |
| 479 | context of Linux, NMIs, IRQs, SoftIRQs, and any other system thread |
| 480 | can cause noise to the system. Moreover, hardware-related jobs can |
| 481 | also cause noise, for example, via SMIs. |
| 482 | |
| 483 | The osnoise tracer leverages the hwlat_detector by running a similar |
| 484 | loop with preemption, SoftIRQs and IRQs enabled, thus allowing all |
| 485 | the sources of osnoise during its execution. The osnoise tracer takes |
| 486 | note of the entry and exit point of any source of interferences, |
| 487 | increasing a per-cpu interference counter. It saves an interference |
| 488 | counter for each source of interference. The interference counter for |
| 489 | NMI, IRQs, SoftIRQs, and threads is increased anytime the tool |
| 490 | observes these interferences' entry events. When a noise happens |
| 491 | without any interference from the operating system level, the |
| 492 | hardware noise counter increases, pointing to a hardware-related |
| 493 | noise. In this way, osnoise can account for any source of |
| 494 | interference. At the end of the period, the osnoise tracer prints |
| 495 | the sum of all noise, the max single noise, the percentage of CPU |
| 496 | available for the thread, and the counters for the noise sources. |
| 497 | |
| 498 | In addition to the tracer, a set of tracepoints were added to |
| 499 | facilitate the identification of the osnoise source. |

| 511 | The timerlat tracer aims to help the preemptive kernel developers |
| 512 | to find sources of wakeup latencies of real-time threads. |
| 513 | |
| 514 | The tracer creates a per-cpu kernel thread with real-time priority. |
| 515 | The tracer thread sets a periodic timer to wakeup itself, and goes |
| 516 | to sleep waiting for the timer to fire. At the wakeup, the thread |
| 517 | then computes a wakeup latency value as the difference between |
| 518 | the current time and the absolute time that the timer was set |
| 519 | to expire. |
| 520 | |
| 521 | The tracer prints two lines at every activation. The first is the |
| 522 | timer latency observed at the hardirq context before the |
| 523 | activation of the thread. The second is the timer latency observed |
| 524 | by the thread, which is the same level that cyclictest reports. The |
| 525 | ACTIVATION ID field serves to relate the irq execution to its |
| 526 | respective thread execution. |
