/*
* trace_hwlat.c - A simple Hardware Latency detector.
*
* Use this tracer to detect large system latencies induced by the behavior of
* certain underlying system hardware or firmware, independent of Linux itself.
* The code was developed originally to detect the presence of SMIs on Intel
* and AMD systems, although there is no dependency upon x86 herein.
*
* The classical example usage of this tracer is in detecting the presence of
* SMIs or System Management Interrupts on Intel and AMD systems. An SMI is a
* somewhat special form of hardware interrupt spawned from earlier CPU debug
* modes in which the (BIOS/EFI/etc.) firmware arranges for the South Bridge
* LPC (or other device) to generate a special interrupt under certain
* circumstances, for example, upon expiration of a special SMI timer device,
* due to certain external thermal readings, on certain I/O address accesses,
* and other situations. An SMI hits a special CPU pin, triggers a special
* SMI mode (complete with special memory map), and the OS is unaware.
*
* Although certain hardware-inducing latencies are necessary (for example,
* a modern system often requires an SMI handler for correct thermal control
* and remote management) they can wreak havoc upon any OS-level performance
* guarantees toward low-latency, especially when the OS is not even made
* aware of the presence of these interrupts. For this reason, we need a
* somewhat brute force mechanism to detect these interrupts. In this case,
* we do it by hogging all of the CPU(s) for configurable timer intervals,
* sampling the built-in CPU timer, looking for discontiguous readings.
*
* WARNING: This implementation necessarily introduces latencies. Therefore,
* you should NEVER use this tracer while running in a production
* environment requiring any kind of low-latency performance
* guarantee(s).

ftrace: Implement fs notification for tracing_max_latency This patch implements the feature that the tracing_max_latency file, e.g. /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_max_latency will receive notifications through the fsnotify framework when a new latency is available. One particularly interesting use of this facility is when enabling threshold tracing, through /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_thresh, together with the preempt/irqsoff tracers. This makes it possible to implement a user space program that can, with equal probability, obtain traces of latencies that occur immediately after each other in spite of the fact that the preempt/irqsoff tracers operate in overwrite mode. This facility works with the hwlat, preempt/irqsoff, and wakeup tracers. The tracers may call the latency_fsnotify() from places such as __schedule() or do_idle(); this makes it impossible to call queue_work() directly without risking a deadlock. The same would happen with a softirq, kernel thread or tasklet. For this reason we use the irq_work mechanism to call queue_work(). This patch creates a new workqueue. The reason for doing this is that I wanted to use the WQ_UNBOUND and WQ_HIGHPRI flags. My thinking was that WQ_UNBOUND might help with the latency in some important cases. If we use: queue_work(system_highpri_wq, &tr->fsnotify_work); then the work will (almost) always execute on the same CPU but if we are unlucky that CPU could be too busy while there could be another CPU in the system that would be able to process the work soon enough. queue_work_on() could be used to queue the work on another CPU but it seems difficult to select the right CPU.
