locking/pvqspinlock: Collect slowpath lock statistics
This patch enables the accumulation of kicking and waiting related PV qspinlock statistics when the new QUEUED_LOCK_STAT configuration option is selected. It also enables the collection of data which enable us to calculate the kicking and wakeup latencies which have a heavy dependency on the CPUs being used. The statistical counters are per-cpu variables to minimize the performance overhead in their updates. These counters are exported via the debugfs filesystem under the qlockstat directory. When the corresponding debugfs files are read, summation and computing of the required data are then performed. The measured latencies for different CPUs are: CPU Wakeup Kicking --- ------ ------- Haswell-EX 63.6us 7.4us Westmere-EX 67.6us 9.3us The measured latencies varied a bit from run-to-run. The wakeup latency is much higher than the kicking latency. A sample of statistical counters after system bootup (with vCPU overcommit) was: pv_hash_hops=1.00 pv_kick_unlock=1148 pv_kick_wake=1146 pv_latency_kick=11040 pv_latency_wake=194840 pv_spurious_wakeup=7 pv_wait_again=4 pv_wait_head=23 pv_wait_node=1129 Signed-off-by: Waiman Long <Waiman.Long@hpe.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Davidlohr Bueso <dave@stgolabs.net> Cc: Douglas Hatch <doug.hatch@hpe.com> Cc: H.
