 CONFIG_RCU_TRACE debugfs Files and Formats

-The following sections describe the debugfs files and formats.
+The rcupreempt and rcutree implementations of RCU provide debugfs trace
+output that summarizes counters and state.  This information is useful for
+debugging RCU itself, and can sometimes also help to debug abuses of RCU.
+Note that the rcuclassic implementation of RCU does not provide debugfs
+trace output.
+
+The following sections describe the debugfs files and formats for
+preemptable RCU (rcupreempt) and hierarchical RCU (rcutree).
+
+
+Preemptable RCU debugfs Files and Formats
+
+This implementation of RCU provides three debugfs files under the
+top-level directory RCU: rcu/rcuctrs (which displays the per-CPU
+counters used by preemptable RCU) rcu/rcugp (which displays grace-period
+counters), and rcu/rcustats (which internal counters for debugging RCU).
+
+The output of "cat rcu/rcuctrs" looks as follows:
+
+CPU last cur F M
+  0    5  -5 0 0
+  1   -1   0 0 0
+  2    0   1 0 0
+  3    0   1 0 0
+  4    0   1 0 0
+  5    0   1 0 0
+  6    0   2 0 0
+  7    0  -1 0 0
+  8    0   1 0 0
+ggp = 26226, state = waitzero
+
+The per-CPU fields are as follows:
+
+o	"CPU" gives the CPU number.  Offline CPUs are not displayed.
+
+o	"last" gives the value of the counter that is being decremented
+	for the current grace period phase.  In the example above,
+	the counters sum to 4, indicating that there are still four
+	RCU read-side critical sections still running that started
+	before the last counter flip.
+
+o	"cur" gives the value of the counter that is currently being
+	both incremented (by rcu_read_lock()) and decremented (by
+	rcu_read_unlock()).  In the example above, the counters sum to
+	1, indicating that there is only one RCU read-side critical section
+	still running that started after the last counter flip.
+
+o	"F" indicates whether RCU is waiting for this CPU to acknowledge
+	a counter flip.  In the above example, RCU is not waiting on any,
+	which is consistent with the state being "waitzero" rather than
+	"waitack".
+
+o	"M" indicates whether RCU is waiting for this CPU to execute a
+	memory barrier.  In the above example, RCU is not waiting on any,
+	which is consistent with the state being "waitzero" rather than
+	"waitmb".
+
+o	"ggp" is the global grace-period counter.
+
+o	"state" is the RCU state, which can be one of the following:
+
+	o	"idle": there is no grace period in progress.
+
+	o	"waitack": RCU just incremented the global grace-period
+		counter, which has the effect of reversing the roles of
+		the "last" and "cur" counters above, and is waiting for
+		all the CPUs to acknowledge the flip.  Once the flip has
+		been acknowledged, CPUs will no longer be incrementing
+		what are now the "last" counters, so that their sum will
+		decrease monotonically down to zero.
+
+	o	"waitzero": RCU is waiting for the sum of the "last" counters
+		to decrease to zero.
+
+	o	"waitmb": RCU is waiting for each CPU to execute a memory
+		barrier, which ensures that instructions from a given CPU's
+		last RCU read-side critical section cannot be reordered
+		with instructions following the memory-barrier instruction.
+
+The output of "cat rcu/rcugp" looks as follows:
+
+oldggp=48870  newggp=48873
+
+Note that reading from this file provokes a synchronize_rcu().  The
+"oldggp" value is that of "ggp" from rcu/rcuctrs above, taken before
+executing the synchronize_rcu(), and the "newggp" value is also the
+"ggp" value, but taken after the synchronize_rcu() command returns.
+
+
+The output of "cat rcu/rcugp" looks as follows:
+
+na=1337955 nl=40 wa=1337915 wl=44 da=1337871 dl=0 dr=1337871 di=1337871
+1=50989 e1=6138 i1=49722 ie1=82 g1=49640 a1=315203 ae1=265563 a2=49640
+z1=1401244 ze1=1351605 z2=49639 m1=5661253 me1=5611614 m2=49639
+
+These are counters tracking internal preemptable-RCU events, however,
+some of them may be useful for debugging algorithms using RCU.  In
+particular, the "nl", "wl", and "dl" values track the number of RCU
+callbacks in various states.  The fields are as follows:
+
+o	"na" is the total number of RCU callbacks that have been enqueued
+	since boot.
+
+o	"nl" is the number of RCU callbacks waiting for the previous
+	grace period to end so that they can start waiting on the next
+	grace period.
+
+o	"wa" is the total number of RCU callbacks that have started waiting
+	for a grace period since boot.  "na" should be roughly equal to
+	"nl" plus "wa".
+
+o	"wl" is the number of RCU callbacks currently waiting for their
+	grace period to end.
+
+o	"da" is the total number of RCU callbacks whose grace periods
+	have completed since boot.  "wa" should be roughly equal to
+	"wl" plus "da".
+
+o	"dr" is the total number of RCU callbacks that have been removed
+	from the list of callbacks ready to invoke.  "dr" should be roughly
+	equal to "da".
+
+o	"di" is the total number of RCU callbacks that have been invoked
+	since boot.  "di" should be roughly equal to "da", though some
+	early versions of preemptable RCU had a bug so that only the
+	last CPU's count of invocations was displayed, rather than the
+	sum of all CPU's counts.
+
+o	"1" is the number of calls to rcu_try_flip().  This should be
+	roughly equal to the sum of "e1", "i1", "a1", "z1", and "m1"
+	described below.  In other words, the number of times that
+	the state machine is visited should be equal to the sum of the
+	number of times that each state is visited plus the number of
+	times that the state-machine lock acquisition failed.
+
+o	"e1" is the number of times that rcu_try_flip() was unable to
+	acquire the fliplock.
+
+o	"i1" is the number of calls to rcu_try_flip_idle().
+
+o	"ie1" is the number of times rcu_try_flip_idle() exited early
+	due to the calling CPU having no work for RCU.
+
+o	"g1" is the number of times that rcu_try_flip_idle() decided
+	to start a new grace period.  "i1" should be roughly equal to
+	"ie1" plus "g1".
+
+o	"a1" is the number of calls to rcu_try_flip_waitack().
+
+o	"ae1" is the number of times that rcu_try_flip_waitack() found
+	that at least one CPU had not yet acknowledge the new grace period
+	(AKA "counter flip").
+
+o	"a2" is the number of time rcu_try_flip_waitack() found that
+	all CPUs had acknowledged.  "a1" should be roughly equal to
+	"ae1" plus "a2".  (This particular output was collected on
+	a 128-CPU machine, hence the smaller-than-usual fraction of
+	calls to rcu_try_flip_waitack() finding all CPUs having already
+	acknowledged.)
+
+o	"z1" is the number of calls to rcu_try_flip_waitzero().
+
+o	"ze1" is the number of times that rcu_try_flip_waitzero() found
+	that not all of the old RCU read-side critical sections had
+	completed.
+
+o	"z2" is the number of times that rcu_try_flip_waitzero() finds
+	the sum of the counters equal to zero, in other words, that
+	all of the old RCU read-side critical sections had completed.
+	The value of "z1" should be roughly equal to "ze1" plus
+	"z2".
+
+o	"m1" is the number of calls to rcu_try_flip_waitmb().
+
+o	"me1" is the number of times that rcu_try_flip_waitmb() finds
+	that at least one CPU has not yet executed a memory barrier.
+
+o	"m2" is the number of times that rcu_try_flip_waitmb() finds that
+	all CPUs have executed a memory barrier.
