samples: add hung_task detector mutex blocking sample

2025-03-22T05:10:04Z

Add a hung_task detector mutex blocking test sample code. This module will create a dummy file on the debugfs. That file will cause the read process to sleep for enough long time (256 seconds) while holding a mutex. As a result, the second process will wait on the mutex for a prolonged duration and be detected by the hung_task detector. Usage is; > cd /sys/kernel/debug/hung_task > cat mutex & cat mutex and wait for hung_task message.

samples/damon: introduce a skeleton of a smaple DAMON module for proactive reclamation

2025-01-14T06:40:57Z

DAMON is not only for monitoring of access patterns, but also for access-aware system operations. For the system operations, DAMON provides a feature called DAMOS (Data Access Monitoring-based Operation Schemes). There is no sample API usage of DAMOS, though. Copy the working set size estimation sample modules with changed names of the module and symbols, to use it as a skeleton for a sample module showing the DAMOS API usage. The following commit will make it proactively reclaim cold memory of the given process, using DAMOS.

samples: add a skeleton of a sample DAMON module for working set size estimation

2025-01-14T06:40:57Z

Patch series "mm/damon: add sample modules". Implement a proactive cold memory regions reclaiming logic of prcl sample module using DAMOS. The logic treats memory regions that not accessed at all for five or more seconds as cold, and reclaim those as soon as found. This patch (of 5): Add a skeleton for a sample DAMON static module that can be used for estimating working set size of a given process. Note that it is a static module since DAMON is not exporting symbols to loadable modules for now. It exposes two module parameters, namely 'pid' and 'enable'. 'pid' will specify the process that the module will estimate the working set size of. 'enable' will receive whether to start or stop the estimation. Because this is just a skeleton, the parameters do nothing, though. The functionalities will be implemented by following commits.

samples: introduce new samples subdir for cgroup

2023-12-11T00:51:54Z

Patch series "samples: introduce cgroup events listeners", v3. To begin with, this patch series relocates the cgroup example code to the samples/cgroup directory, which is the appropriate location for such code snippets. Furthermore, a new memcg events listener is introduced. This listener is a simple yet effective tool for monitoring memory events and managing counter changes during runtime. Additionally, as per Andrew Morton's suggestion, a helpful reminder comment is included in the memcontrol implementation. This comment serves to ensure that the samples code is updated whenever new events are added. This patch (of 3): Move the cgroup_event_listener for cgroup v1 to the samples directory. This suggestion was proposed by Andrew Morton during the discussion [1].

kmemleak-test: fix kmemleak_test.c build logic

kmemleak-test.c was moved to the samples directory in 1abbef4f51724 ("mm,kmemleak-test.c: move kmemleak-test.c to samples dir"). If CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK_TEST=m and CONFIG_SAMPLES is unset, kmemleak-test.c will be unnecessarily compiled. So move the entry for CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK_TEST from mm/Kconfig and add a new CONFIG_SAMPLE_KMEMLEAK in samples/ to control whether kmemleak-test.c is built or not.

ftrace: Add sample with custom ops

2023-01-25T15:31:23Z

When reworking core ftrace code or architectural ftrace code, it's often necessary to test/analyse/benchmark a number of ftrace_ops configurations. This patch adds a module which can be used to explore some of those configurations. I'm using this to benchmark various options for changing the way trampolines and handling of ftrace_ops work on arm64, and ensuring other architectures aren't adversely affected. For example, in a QEMU+KVM VM running on a 2GHz Xeon E5-2660 workstation, loading the module in various configurations produces: | # insmod ftrace-ops.ko | ftrace_ops: registering: | relevant ops: 1 | tracee: tracee_relevant [ftrace_ops] | tracer: ops_func_nop [ftrace_ops] | irrelevant ops: 0 | tracee: tracee_irrelevant [ftrace_ops] | tracer: ops_func_nop [ftrace_ops] | saving registers: NO | assist recursion: NO | assist RCU: NO | ftrace_ops: Attempted 100000 calls to tracee_relevant [ftrace_ops] in 1681558ns (16ns / call) | # insmod ftrace-ops.ko nr_ops_irrelevant=5 | ftrace_ops: registering: | relevant ops: 1 | tracee: tracee_relevant [ftrace_ops] | tracer: ops_func_nop [ftrace_ops] | irrelevant ops: 5 | tracee: tracee_irrelevant [ftrace_ops] | tracer: ops_func_nop [ftrace_ops] | saving registers: NO | assist recursion: NO | assist RCU: NO | ftrace_ops: Attempted 100000 calls to tracee_relevant [ftrace_ops] in 1693042ns (16ns / call) | # insmod ftrace-ops.ko nr_ops_relevant=2 | ftrace_ops: registering: | relevant ops: 2 | tracee: tracee_relevant [ftrace_ops] | tracer: ops_func_nop [ftrace_ops] | irrelevant ops: 0 | tracee: tracee_irrelevant [ftrace_ops] | tracer: ops_func_nop [ftrace_ops] | saving registers: NO | assist recursion: NO | assist RCU: NO | ftrace_ops: Attempted 100000 calls to tracee_relevant [ftrace_ops] in 11965582ns (119ns / call) | # insmod ftrace-ops.ko save_regs=true | ftrace_ops: registering: | relevant ops: 1 | tracee: tracee_relevant [ftrace_ops] | tracer: ops_func_nop [ftrace_ops] | irrelevant ops: 0 | tracee: tracee_irrelevant [ftrace_ops] | tracer: ops_func_nop [ftrace_ops] | saving registers: YES | assist recursion: NO | assist RCU: NO | ftrace_ops: Attempted 100000 calls to tracee_relevant [ftrace_ops] in 4459624ns (44ns / call) Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20230103124912.2948963-4-mark.rutland@arm.com Cc: Florent Revest Acked-by: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) Signed-off-by: Mark Rutland Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (Google)
