502bce29ac9SDaniel Bristot de Oliveira	  In the context of high-performance computing (HPC), the Operating
503bce29ac9SDaniel Bristot de Oliveira	  System Noise (osnoise) refers to the interference experienced by an
504bce29ac9SDaniel Bristot de Oliveira	  application due to activities inside the operating system. In the
505bce29ac9SDaniel Bristot de Oliveira	  context of Linux, NMIs, IRQs, SoftIRQs, and any other system thread
506bce29ac9SDaniel Bristot de Oliveira	  can cause noise to the system. Moreover, hardware-related jobs can
507bce29ac9SDaniel Bristot de Oliveira	  also cause noise, for example, via SMIs.
508bce29ac9SDaniel Bristot de Oliveira
509bce29ac9SDaniel Bristot de Oliveira	  The osnoise tracer leverages the hwlat_detector by running a similar
510bce29ac9SDaniel Bristot de Oliveira	  loop with preemption, SoftIRQs and IRQs enabled, thus allowing all
511bce29ac9SDaniel Bristot de Oliveira	  the sources of osnoise during its execution. The osnoise tracer takes
512bce29ac9SDaniel Bristot de Oliveira	  note of the entry and exit point of any source of interferences,
513bce29ac9SDaniel Bristot de Oliveira	  increasing a per-cpu interference counter. It saves an interference
514bce29ac9SDaniel Bristot de Oliveira	  counter for each source of interference. The interference counter for
515bce29ac9SDaniel Bristot de Oliveira	  NMI, IRQs, SoftIRQs, and threads is increased anytime the tool
516bce29ac9SDaniel Bristot de Oliveira	  observes these interferences' entry events. When a noise happens
517bce29ac9SDaniel Bristot de Oliveira	  without any interference from the operating system level, the
518bce29ac9SDaniel Bristot de Oliveira	  hardware noise counter increases, pointing to a hardware-related
519bce29ac9SDaniel Bristot de Oliveira	  noise. In this way, osnoise can account for any source of
520bce29ac9SDaniel Bristot de Oliveira	  interference. At the end of the period, the osnoise tracer prints
521bce29ac9SDaniel Bristot de Oliveira	  the sum of all noise, the max single noise, the percentage of CPU
522bce29ac9SDaniel Bristot de Oliveira	  available for the thread, and the counters for the noise sources.
523bce29ac9SDaniel Bristot de Oliveira
524bce29ac9SDaniel Bristot de Oliveira	  In addition to the tracer, a set of tracepoints were added to
525bce29ac9SDaniel Bristot de Oliveira	  facilitate the identification of the osnoise source.

539a955d7eaSDaniel Bristot de Oliveira
540a955d7eaSDaniel Bristot de Oliveira	  The tracer creates a per-cpu kernel thread with real-time priority.

542a955d7eaSDaniel Bristot de Oliveira	  to sleep waiting for the timer to fire. At the wakeup, the thread
543a955d7eaSDaniel Bristot de Oliveira	  then computes a wakeup latency value as the difference between
544a955d7eaSDaniel Bristot de Oliveira	  the current time and the absolute time that the timer was set
545a955d7eaSDaniel Bristot de Oliveira	  to expire.
546a955d7eaSDaniel Bristot de Oliveira
547a955d7eaSDaniel Bristot de Oliveira	  The tracer prints two lines at every activation. The first is the
548a955d7eaSDaniel Bristot de Oliveira	  timer latency observed at the hardirq context before the
549a955d7eaSDaniel Bristot de Oliveira	  activation of the thread. The second is the timer latency observed
550a955d7eaSDaniel Bristot de Oliveira	  by the thread, which is the same level that cyclictest reports. The
551a955d7eaSDaniel Bristot de Oliveira	  ACTIVATION ID field serves to relate the irq execution to its
552a955d7eaSDaniel Bristot de Oliveira	  respective thread execution.

554a955d7eaSDaniel Bristot de Oliveira	  The tracer is build on top of osnoise tracer, and the osnoise:
555a955d7eaSDaniel Bristot de Oliveira	  events can be used to trace the source of interference from NMI,
556a955d7eaSDaniel Bristot de Oliveira	  IRQs and other threads. It also enables the capture of the

1180a48fc4f5SSteven Rostedt (VMware)	  However, it should be safe to use on e.g. unused portion of VRAM.
