129 * kstat structure and locking strategy
131 * Each kstat consists of a header section (a kstat_t) and a data section.
132 * The system maintains a set of kstats, protected by kstat_chain_lock.
133 * kstat_chain_lock protects all additions to/deletions from this set,
134 * as well as all changes to kstat headers. kstat data sections are
135 * *optionally* protected by the per-kstat ks_lock. If ks_lock is non-NULL,
136 * kstat clients (e.g. /dev/kstat) will acquire this lock for all of their
137 * operations on that kstat. It is up to the kstat provider to decide whether
138 * guaranteeing consistent data to kstat clients is sufficiently important
139 * to justify the locking cost. Note, however, that most statistic updates
140 * already occur under one of the provider's mutexes, so if the provider sets
141 * ks_lock to point to that mutex, then kstat data locking is free.
143 * NOTE: variable-size kstats MUST employ kstat data locking, to prevent
144 * data-size races with kstat clients.
146 * NOTE: ks_lock is really of type (kmutex_t *); it is declared as (void *)
147 * in the kstat header so that users don't have to be exposed to all of the
148 * kernel's lock-related data structures.

161 #define KSTAT_SNAPSHOT(k, buf, rw) (*(k)->ks_snapshot)((k), (buf), (rw))
163 #endif /* defined(_KERNEL) */
166 * kstat time
168 * All times associated with kstats (e.g. creation time, snapshot time,
169 * kstat_timer_t and kstat_io_t timestamps, etc.) are 64-bit nanosecond values,
170 * as returned by gethrtime(). The accuracy of these timestamps is machine
171 * dependent, but the precision (units) is the same across all platforms.
175 * kstat identity (KID)
177 * Each kstat is assigned a unique KID (kstat ID) when it is added to the
178 * global kstat chain. The KID is used as a cookie by /dev/kstat to
179 * request information about the corresponding kstat. There is also
180 * an identity associated with the entire kstat chain, kstat_chain_id,
181 * which is bumped each time a kstat is added or deleted. /dev/kstat uses
182 * the chain ID to detect changes in the kstat chain (e.g., a new disk
183 * coming online) between ioctl()s.
187 * kstat module, kstat instance
189 * ks_module and ks_instance contain the name and instance of the module
190 * that created the kstat. In cases where there can only be one instance,
191 * ks_instance is 0. The kernel proper (/kernel/unix) uses "unix" as its
192 * module name.
196 * kstat name
198 * ks_name gives a meaningful name to a kstat. The full kstat namespace
199 * is module.instance.name, so the name only need be unique within a
200 * module. kstat_create() will fail if you try to create a kstat with
201 * an already-used (ks_module, ks_instance, ks_name) triplet. Spaces are
202 * allowed in kstat names, but strongly discouraged, since they hinder
203 * awk-style processing at user level.
207 * kstat type
209 * The kstat mechanism provides several flavors of kstat data, defined
210 * below. The "raw" kstat type is just treated as an array of bytes; you
211 * can use this to export any kind of data you want.
213 * Some kstat types allow multiple data structures per kstat, e.g.
214 * KSTAT_TYPE_NAMED; others do not. This is part of the spec for each
215 * kstat data type.
217 * User-level tools should *not* rely on the #define KSTAT_NUM_TYPES. To
218 * get this information, read out the standard system kstat "kstat_types".
221 #define KSTAT_TYPE_RAW 0 /* can be anything */
222 /* ks_ndata >= 1 */
223 #define KSTAT_TYPE_NAMED 1 /* name/value pair */
224 /* ks_ndata >= 1 */
225 #define KSTAT_TYPE_INTR 2 /* interrupt statistics */
226 /* ks_ndata == 1 */
227 #define KSTAT_TYPE_IO 3 /* I/O statistics */
228 /* ks_ndata == 1 */
229 #define KSTAT_TYPE_TIMER 4 /* event timer */
230 /* ks_ndata >= 1 */
232 #define KSTAT_NUM_TYPES 5
235 * kstat class
237 * Each kstat can be characterized as belonging to some broad class
238 * of statistics, e.g. disk, tape, net, vm, streams, etc. This field
239 * can be used as a filter to extract related kstats. The following
240 * values are currently in use: disk, tape, net, controller, vm, kvm,
241 * hat, streams, kstat, and misc. (The kstat class encompasses things
242 * like kstat_types.)
246 * kstat flags
248 * Any of the following flags may be passed to kstat_create(). They are
249 * all zero by default.
251 * KSTAT_FLAG_VIRTUAL:
253 * Tells kstat_create() not to allocate memory for the
254 * kstat data section; instead, you will set the ks_data
255 * field to point to the data you wish to export. This
256 * provides a convenient way to export existing data
257 * structures.
259 * KSTAT_FLAG_VAR_SIZE:
261 * The size of the kstat you are creating will vary over time.
262 * For example, you may want to use the kstat mechanism to
263 * export a linked list. NOTE: The kstat framework does not
264 * manage the data section, so all variable-size kstats must be
265 * virtual kstats. Moreover, variable-size kstats MUST employ
266 * kstat data locking to prevent data-size races with kstat
267 * clients. See the section on "kstat snapshot" for details.
269 * KSTAT_FLAG_WRITABLE:
271 * Makes the kstat's data section writable by root.
272 * The ks_snapshot routine (see below) does not need to check for
273 * this; permission checking is handled in the kstat driver.
275 * KSTAT_FLAG_PERSISTENT:
277 * Indicates that this kstat is to be persistent over time.
278 * For persistent kstats, kstat_delete() simply marks the
279 * kstat as dormant; a subsequent kstat_create() reactivates
280 * the kstat. This feature is provided so that statistics
281 * are not lost across driver close/open (e.g., raw disk I/O
282 * on a disk with no mounted partitions.)
283 * NOTE: Persistent kstats cannot be virtual, since ks_data
284 * points to garbage as soon as the driver goes away.
286 * The following flags are maintained by the kstat framework:
288 * KSTAT_FLAG_DORMANT:
290 * For persistent kstats, indicates that the kstat is in the
291 * dormant state (e.g., the corresponding device is closed).
293 * KSTAT_FLAG_INVALID:
295 * This flag is set when a kstat is in a transitional state,
296 * e.g. between kstat_create() and kstat_install().
297 * kstat clients must not attempt to access the kstat's data
298 * if this flag is set.
300 * KSTAT_FLAG_LONGSTRINGS:
302 * Indicates that this kstat contains long strings (which
303 * are stored outside of the kstat data section). When copied
304 * out to user space the string data will be held in the data
305 * section provided by the user.

312 #define KSTAT_FLAG_DORMANT 0x10
313 #define KSTAT_FLAG_INVALID 0x20
314 #define KSTAT_FLAG_LONGSTRINGS 0x40
317 * Dynamic update support
319 * The kstat mechanism allows for an optional ks_update function to update
320 * kstat data. This is useful for drivers where the underlying device
321 * keeps cheap hardware stats, but extraction is expensive. Instead of
322 * constantly keeping the kstat data section up to date, you can supply a
323 * ks_update function which updates the kstat's data section on demand.
324 * To take advantage of this feature, simply set the ks_update field before
325 * calling kstat_install().
327 * The ks_update function, if supplied, must have the following structure:
329 * int
330 * foo_kstat_update(kstat_t *ksp, int rw)
332 * if (rw == KSTAT_WRITE) {
333 * ... update the native stats from ksp->ks_data;
334 * return EACCES if you don't support this
335 * } else {
336 * ... update ksp->ks_data from the native stats
340 * The ks_update return codes are: 0 for success, EACCES if you don't allow
341 * KSTAT_WRITE, and EIO for any other type of error.
343 * In general, the ks_update function may need to refer to provider-private
344 * data; for example, it may need a pointer to the provider's raw statistics.
345 * The ks_private field is available for this purpose. Its use is entirely
346 * at the provider's discretion.
348 * All variable-size kstats MUST supply a ks_update routine, which computes
349 * and sets ks_data_size (and ks_ndata if that is meaningful), since these
350 * are needed to perform kstat snapshots (see below).
352 * No kstat locking should be done inside the ks_update routine. The caller
353 * will already be holding the kstat's ks_lock (to ensure consistent data).
356 #define KSTAT_READ 0
357 #define KSTAT_WRITE 1
360 * Kstat snapshot
362 * In order to get a consistent view of a kstat's data, clients must obey
363 * the kstat's locking strategy. However, these clients may need to perform
364 * operations on the data which could cause a fault (e.g. copyout()), or
365 * operations which are simply expensive. Doing so could cause deadlock
366 * (e.g. if you're holding a disk's kstat lock which is ultimately required
367 * to resolve a copyout() fault), performance degradation (since the providers'
368 * activity is serialized at the kstat lock), device timing problems, etc.
370 * To avoid these problems, kstat data is provided via snapshots. Taking
371 * a snapshot is a simple process: allocate a wired-down kernel buffer,
372 * acquire the kstat's data lock, copy the data into the buffer ("take the
373 * snapshot"), and release the lock. This ensures that the kstat's data lock
374 * will be held as briefly as possible, and that no faults will occur while
375 * the lock is held.
377 * Normally, the snapshot is taken by default_kstat_snapshot(), which
378 * timestamps the data (sets ks_snaptime), copies it, and does a little
379 * massaging to deal with incomplete transactions on i/o kstats. However,
380 * this routine only works for kstats with contiguous data (the typical case).
381 * If you create a kstat whose data is, say, a linked list, you must provide
382 * your own ks_snapshot routine. The routine you supply must have the
383 * following prototype (replace "foo" with something appropriate):
385 * int foo_kstat_snapshot(kstat_t *ksp, void *buf, int rw);
387 * The minimal snapshot routine -- one which copies contiguous data that
388 * doesn't need any massaging -- would be this:
390 * ksp->ks_snaptime = gethrtime();
391 * if (rw == KSTAT_WRITE)
392 * bcopy(buf, ksp->ks_data, ksp->ks_data_size);
393 * else
394 * bcopy(ksp->ks_data, buf, ksp->ks_data_size);
395 * return (0);
397 * A more illuminating example is taking a snapshot of a linked list:
399 * ksp->ks_snaptime = gethrtime();
400 * if (rw == KSTAT_WRITE)
401 * return (EACCES); ... See below ...
402 * for (foo = first_foo; foo; foo = foo->next) {
403 * bcopy((char *) foo, (char *) buf, sizeof (struct foo));
404 * buf = ((struct foo *) buf) + 1;
406 * return (0);
408 * In the example above, we have decided that we don't want to allow
409 * KSTAT_WRITE access, so we return EACCES if this is attempted.
411 * The key points are:
413 * (1) ks_snaptime must be set (via gethrtime()) to timestamp the data.
414 * (2) Data gets copied from the kstat to the buffer on KSTAT_READ,
415 * and from the buffer to the kstat on KSTAT_WRITE.
416 * (3) ks_snapshot return values are: 0 for success, EACCES if you
417 * don't allow KSTAT_WRITE, and EIO for any other type of error.
419 * Named kstats (see section on "Named statistics" below) containing long
420 * strings (KSTAT_DATA_STRING) need special handling. The kstat driver
421 * assumes that all strings are copied into the buffer after the array of
422 * named kstats, and the pointers (KSTAT_NAMED_STR_PTR()) are updated to point
423 * into the copy within the buffer. The default snapshot routine does this,
424 * but overriding routines should contain at least the following:
426 * if (rw == KSTAT_READ) {
427 * kstat_named_t *knp = buf;
428 * char *end = knp + ksp->ks_ndata;
429 * uint_t i;
431 * ... Do the regular copy ...
432 * bcopy(ksp->ks_data, buf, sizeof (kstat_named_t) * ksp->ks_ndata);
434 * for (i = 0; i < ksp->ks_ndata; i++, knp++) {
435 * if (knp[i].data_type == KSTAT_DATA_STRING &&
436 * KSTAT_NAMED_STR_PTR(knp) != NULL) {
437 * bcopy(KSTAT_NAMED_STR_PTR(knp), end,
438 * KSTAT_NAMED_STR_BUFLEN(knp));
439 * KSTAT_NAMED_STR_PTR(knp) = end;
440 * end += KSTAT_NAMED_STR_BUFLEN(knp);
446 * Named statistics.

606 * of "active" time. Queue length statistics are kept as a
607 * running sum of the product of queue length and elapsed time
608 * at that length -- i.e., a Riemann sum for queue length
609 * integrated against time. (You can also think of the active time
610 * as a Riemann sum, for the boolean function (queue_length > 0)
611 * integrated against time, or you can think of it as the
612 * Lebesgue measure of the set on which queue_length > 0.)

625 * Time-> t1 t2 t3 t4
627 * At each change of state (entry or exit from the queue),
628 * we add the elapsed time (since the previous state change)
629 * to the active time if the queue length was non-zero during
630 * that interval; and we add the product of the elapsed time
631 * times the queue length to the running length*time sum.
633 * This method is generalizable to measuring residency
634 * in any defined system: instead of queue lengths, think
635 * of "outstanding RPC calls to server X".
637 * A large number of I/O subsystems have at least two basic
638 * "lists" of transactions they manage: one for transactions
639 * that have been accepted for processing but for which processing
640 * has yet to begin, and one for transactions which are actively
641 * being processed (but not done). For this reason, two cumulative
642 * time statistics are defined here: wait (pre-service) time,
643 * and run (service) time.
645 * All times are 64-bit nanoseconds (hrtime_t), as returned by
646 * gethrtime().
648 * The units of cumulative busy time are accumulated nanoseconds.
649 * The units of cumulative length*time products are elapsed time
650 * times queue length.
652 * Updates to the fields below are performed implicitly by calls to
653 * these five functions:
655 * kstat_waitq_enter()
656 * kstat_waitq_exit()
657 * kstat_runq_enter()
658 * kstat_runq_exit()
660 * kstat_waitq_to_runq() (see below)
661 * kstat_runq_back_to_waitq() (see below)
663 * Since kstat_waitq_exit() is typically followed immediately
664 * by kstat_runq_enter(), there is a single kstat_waitq_to_runq()
665 * function which performs both operations. This is a performance
666 * win since only one timestamp is required.
668 * In some instances, it may be necessary to move a request from
669 * the run queue back to the wait queue, e.g. for write throttling.
670 * For these situations, call kstat_runq_back_to_waitq().
672 * These fields should never be updated by any other means.

717 * Adding and deleting kstats.
719 * The typical sequence to add a kstat is:
721 * ksp = kstat_create(module, instance, name, class, type, ndata, flags);
722 * if (ksp) {
723 * ... provider initialization, if necessary
724 * kstat_install(ksp);
727 * There are three logically distinct steps here:
729 * Step 1: System Initialization (kstat_create)
731 * kstat_create() performs system initialization. kstat_create()
732 * allocates memory for the entire kstat (header plus data), initializes
733 * all header fields, initializes the data section to all zeroes, assigns
734 * a unique KID, and puts the kstat onto the system's kstat chain.
735 * The returned kstat is marked invalid (KSTAT_FLAG_INVALID is set),
736 * because the provider (caller) has not yet had a chance to initialize
737 * the data section.
739 * By default, kstats are exported to all zones on the system. A kstat may be
740 * created via kstat_create_zone() to specify a zone to which the statistics
741 * should be exported. kstat_zone_add() may be used to specify additional
742 * zones to which the statistics are to be exported.
744 * Step 2: Provider Initialization
746 * The provider performs any necessary initialization of the data section,
747 * e.g. setting the name fields in a KSTAT_TYPE_NAMED. Virtual kstats set
748 * the ks_data field at this time. The provider may also set the ks_update,
749 * ks_snapshot, ks_private, and ks_lock fields if necessary.
751 * Step 3: Installation (kstat_install)
753 * Once the kstat is completely initialized, kstat_install() clears the
754 * INVALID flag, thus making the kstat accessible to the outside world.
755 * kstat_install() also clears the DORMANT flag for persistent kstats.
757 * Removing a kstat from the system
759 * kstat_delete(ksp) removes ksp from the kstat chain and frees all
760 * associated system resources. NOTE: When you call kstat_delete(),
761 * you must NOT be holding that kstat's ks_lock. Otherwise, you may
762 * deadlock with a kstat reader.
764 * Persistent kstats
766 * From the provider's point of view, persistence is transparent. The only
767 * difference between ephemeral (normal) kstats and persistent kstats
768 * is that you pass KSTAT_FLAG_PERSISTENT to kstat_create(). Magically,
769 * this has the effect of making your data visible even when you're
770 * not home. Persistence is important to tools like iostat, which want
771 * to get a meaningful picture of disk activity. Without persistence,
772 * raw disk i/o statistics could never accumulate: they would come and
773 * go with each open/close of the raw device.
775 * The magic of persistence works by slightly altering the behavior of
776 * kstat_create() and kstat_delete(). The first call to kstat_create()
777 * creates a new kstat, as usual. However, kstat_delete() does not
778 * actually delete the kstat: it performs one final update of the data
779 * (i.e., calls the ks_update routine), marks the kstat as dormant, and
780 * sets the ks_lock, ks_update, ks_private, and ks_snapshot fields back
781 * to their default values (since they might otherwise point to garbage,
782 * e.g. if the provider is going away). kstat clients can still access
783 * the dormant kstat just like a live kstat; they just continue to see
784 * the final data values as long as the kstat remains dormant.
785 * All subsequent kstat_create() calls simply find the already-existing,
786 * dormant kstat and return a pointer to it, without altering any fields.
787 * The provider then performs its usual initialization sequence, and
788 * calls kstat_install(). kstat_install() uses the old data values to
789 * initialize the native data (i.e., ks_update is called with KSTAT_WRITE),
790 * thus making it seem like you were never gone.
