/*
* History
* =======
*
* EggCounter is a performance counter based on ideas from previous work
* on high performance counters. They are not guaranteed to be 100%
* correct, but they approach that with no synchronization given new
* enough hardware. In particular, we use %ecx from rdtscp (the core id)
* to determine which cachline to increment the counter within.
*
* Given a counter, the value will be split up int NCPU cachelines where
* NCPU is the number of cores returned from get_nprocs() (on Linux).
*
* Updating the counter is very cheap, reading back the counter requires
* a volatile read of each cacheline. Again, no correctness is guaranteed.
*
* In practice, very few values are lost even during tight competing loops.
* A loss can happen when the thread is pre-empted between the %rdtscp
* instruction and the addq increment (on x86_64).
*
*
* Using EggCounter
* ================
*
* To define a counter, you must have support for constructor attributes.
*
* EGG_DEFINE_COUNTER (Symbol, "Category", "Name", "Description")
*
* To increment the counter in a function of your choice (but within the
* same module), use EGG_COUNTER_ADD, EGG_COUNTER_INC, EGG_COUNTER_DEC.
*
* EGG_COUNTER_INC (Symbol);
*
*
* Architecture Support
* ====================
*
* If you are not on x86_64, or are missing the rdtscp instruction, a 64-bit
* atomic will be performed using __sync_fetch_and_add8(). Clearly, we can
* do some more work here to abstract which implementation is used, but we
* only support GCC and Clang today, which both have that intrinsic. Some
* architectures may not have it (such as 32-bit PPC), but I'm not too
* concerned about that at the moment.
*
* The counters are mapped into a shared memory zone using shm_open() and
* mmap(). An external program can then discover the available counters
* and print them without blocking the target program. It simply must
* perform the reads in a volatile manner just like the target process
* would need to do for readback.
*
* EggCounterArena provides a helper to walk through the counters in the
* shared memory zone. egg_counter_arena_foreach().
*
* You cannot remove a counter once it has been registered.
*
*
* Accessing Counters Remotely
* ===========================
*
* You can access the counters from out of process. By opening the SHM zone
* and reading the contents from each cachline, you can get the approximate
* state of the target application without blocking it.
*
* EggCounterArena provides a helper for you to do this.
*
* EggCounterArena *arena;
*
* arena = egg_counter_arena_new_for_pid (other_process_pid);
* egg_counter_arena_foreach (arena, my_counter_callback, user_data);
*
*
* Data Layout
* ===========
*
* The layout of the shared memory zone is broken into "cells". Each cell
* is an approximate cacheline (64-bytes) on modern Intel hardware. Indexes
* to data locations are represented in cells to simplify the math and
* allow the compiler to know we are working with properly aligned structures.
*
* The base pointer in EggCounter.values is not 64-byte aligned! It is 8-byte
* aligned and points to the offset within the cacheline for that counter.
* We pack 8 64-bit counters into a single cacheline. This allows us to avoid
* an extra MOV instruction when incrementing since we only need to perform
* the offset from the base pointer.
*
* The first two cells are the header which contain information about the
* underlying shm file and how large the mmap() range should be.
*
* After that, begin the counters.
*
* The counters are layed out in groups of 8 counters.
*
* [8 CounterInfo Structs (128-bytes each)][N_CPU Data Zones (64-byte each)]
*
* See egg-counter.c for more information on the contents of these structures.
*
*
* Build System Requirements
* =========================
*
* We need to know if rdtscp is available at compile time. In an effort
* to keep the headers as portable as possible (if that matters here?) we
* require that you define EGG_HAVE_RDTSCP if the instruction is supported.
*
* An example for autoconf might be similar to the following:
*
* AC_MSG_CHECKING([for fast counters with rdtscp])
* AC_RUN_IFELSE(
* [AC_LANG_SOURCE([[
* #include <x86intrin.h>
* int main (int argc, char *argv[]) { int cpu; __builtin_ia32_rdtscp (&cpu); return 0; }]])],
* [have_rdtscp=yes],
* [have_rdtscp=no])
* AC_MSG_RESULT([$have_rdtscp])
* AS_IF([test "$have_rdtscp" = "yes"],
* [CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -DEGG_HAVE_RDTSCP"])
