From 7ea5906405a1f3fc1c0033dfd7e02f2cfd1de5e5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vaibhav Nagarnaik Date: Tue, 3 May 2011 17:56:42 -0700 Subject: tracing: Use NUMA allocation for per-cpu ring buffer pages The tracing ring buffer is a group of per-cpu ring buffers where allocation and logging is done on a per-cpu basis. The events that are generated on a particular CPU are logged in the corresponding buffer. This is to provide wait-free writes between CPUs and good NUMA node locality while accessing the ring buffer. However, the allocation routines consider NUMA locality only for buffer page metadata and not for the actual buffer page. This causes the pages to be allocated on the NUMA node local to the CPU where the allocation routine is running at the time. This patch fixes the problem by using a NUMA node specific allocation routine so that the pages are allocated from a NUMA node local to the logging CPU. I tested with the getuid_microbench from autotest. It is a simple binary that calls getuid() in a loop and measures the average time for the syscall to complete. The following command was used to test: $ getuid_microbench 1000000 Compared the numbers found on kernel with and without this patch and found that logging latency decreases by 30-50 ns/call. tracing with non-NUMA allocation - 569 ns/call tracing with NUMA allocation - 512 ns/call Signed-off-by: Vaibhav Nagarnaik Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Michael Rubin Cc: David Sharp Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1304470602-20366-1-git-send-email-vnagarnaik@google.com Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt --- kernel/trace/ring_buffer.c | 36 +++++++++++++++++++----------------- kernel/trace/ring_buffer_benchmark.c | 2 +- kernel/trace/trace.c | 7 +++---- 3 files changed, 23 insertions(+), 22 deletions(-) (limited to 'kernel') diff --git a/kernel/trace/ring_buffer.c b/kernel/trace/ring_buffer.c index b0c7aa407943..725153d6cf73 100644 --- a/kernel/trace/ring_buffer.c +++ b/kernel/trace/ring_buffer.c @@ -997,13 +997,14 @@ static int rb_allocate_pages(struct ring_buffer_per_cpu *cpu_buffer, unsigned nr_pages) { struct buffer_page *bpage, *tmp;
