ring-buffer: add benchmark and tester This patch adds code that can benchmark the ring buffer as well as test it. This code can be compiled into the kernel (not recommended) or as a module. A separate ring buffer is used to not interfer with other users, like ftrace. It creates a producer and a consumer (option to disable creation of the consumer) and will run for 10 seconds, then sleep for 10 seconds and then repeat. While running, the producer will write 10 byte loads into the ring buffer with just putting in the current CPU number. The reader will continually try to read the buffer. The reader will alternate from reading the buffer via event by event, or by full pages. The output is a pr_info, thus it will fill up the syslogs.

ring-buffer: change test to be more latency friendly The ring buffer benchmark/test runs a producer for 10 seconds. This is done with preemption and interrupts enabled. But if the kernel is not compiled with CONFIG_PREEMPT, it basically stops everything but interrupts for 10 seconds. Although this is just a test and is not for production, this attribute can be quite annoying. It can also spawn badness elsewhere. This patch solves the issues by calling "cond_resched" when the system is not compiled with CONFIG_PREEMPT. It also keeps track of the time spent to call cond_resched such that it does not go against the time calculations. That is, if the task schedules away, the time scheduled out is removed from the test data. Note, this only works for non PREEMPT because we do not know when the task is scheduled out if we have PREEMPT enabled.

ring-buffer: have benchmark test print to trace buffer Currently the output of the ring buffer benchmark/test prints to the console. This test runs for ten seconds every ten seconds and ouputs the result after every iteration. This needlessly fills up the logs. This patch makes the ring buffer benchmark/test print to the ftrace buffer using trace_printk. To view the test results, you must examine the debug/tracing/trace file.

trace_printk("hit + missed overflowed and totalled zero!\n");
ring-buffer: check for divide by zero in ring-buffer-benchmark Although we check if "missed" is not zero, we divide by hit + missed, and the addition can possible overflow and become a divide by zero. This patch checks for this case, and will report it when it happens then modify "hit" to make the calculation be non zero.

ring-buffer: replace constants with time macros in ring-buffer-benchmark The use of numeric constants is discouraged. It is cleaner and more descriptive to use macros for constant time conversions. This patch also removes an extra new line. [ Impact: more descriptive time conversions ] Reported-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

ring-buffer: add total count in ring-buffer-benchmark It is nice to see the overhead of the benchmark test when tracing is disabled. That is, we turn off the ring buffer just to see what the cost of running the loop that calls into the ring buffer is. Currently, if no entries wer made, we get 0. This is not informative. This patch changes it to check if we had any "missed" (non recorded) events. If so, a total count is also reported.

ring-buffer: add benchmark and tester This patch adds code that can benchmark the ring buffer as well as test it. This code can be compiled into the kernel (not recommended) or as a module. A separate ring buffer is used to not interfer with other users, like ftrace. It creates a producer and a consumer (option to disable creation of the consumer) and will run for 10 seconds, then sleep for 10 seconds and then repeat. While running, the producer will write 10 byte loads into the ring buffer with just putting in the current CPU number. The reader will continually try to read the buffer. The reader will alternate from reading the buffer via event by event, or by full pages. The output is a pr_info, thus it will fill up the syslogs.
