Befehl "splat"

Splat verwendet als primäre Eingabe eine AIX -Tracedatei, die mit dem Tracebefehl AIX erfasst wurde. Bevor Sie einen Trace mit splat analysieren, müssen Sie sicherstellen, dass der Trace mit einem geeigneten Satz von Hooks erfasst wird, z. B.:

106 DISPATCH
10C DISPATCH IDLE PROCESS
10E RELOCK
112 LOCK
113 UNLOCK
134 HKWD_SYSC_EXECVE
139 HKWD_SYSC_FORK
419 CPU PREEMPT
465 HKWD_SYSC_CRTHREAD
46D WAIT LOCK
46E WAKEUP LOCK
606 HKWD_PTHREAD_COND
607 HKWD_PTHREAD_MUTEX
608 HKWD_PTHREAD_RWLOCK
609 HKWD_PTHREAD_GENERAL

Die Erfassung dieser Traceereignisse zum Sperren und Entsperren kann aufgrund der Häufigkeit, mit der Sperren in einer Multiprozessorumgebung verwendet werden, zu schwerwiegenden Leistungseinbußen führen. Deshalb ist das Berichten von Traceereignissen zum Sperren normalerweise inaktiviert. Um Berichte für Traceereignisse zu aktivieren, müssen die folgenden Schritte ausgeführt werden, bevor eine Trace erfasst werden kann, der Traceereignisse zu Sperren enthält, die splat erfordert (Korn-Shell-Syntax):

  1. bosboot -ad /dev/hdisk0 -L

  2. shutdown -Fr

  3. (reboot the machine)

  4. locktrace -S

  5. mkdir temp.lib; cd temp.lib

  6. ln -s /usr/ccs/lib/perf/libpthreads.a

  7. export LIBPATH=$PWD:$LIBPATH

Die Schritte 1 bis 3 sind optional. Sie aktivieren die Anzeige der Klassennamen für Kernelsperren anstelle von Adressen. Weitere Informationen zum Befehl bosboot und dessen Flags finden Sie in der Beschreibung von bosboot(1). Die Schritte 5 bis 7 sind notwendig, um die Instrumentierung für Sperren von Benutzer-pthreads zu aktivieren. Das Unterverzeichnis temp.lib kann an einer beliebigen Stelle gespeichert werden. Die Schritte 1 bis 7 sind erforderlich, damit der Bericht vollständig ist.

Der von splat generierte Bericht besteht aus einer Berichtszusammenfassung, einem Berichtsabschnitt mit einer Sperrenzusammenfassung und einer Liste von Sperrdetailberichten, die jeweils einen zugeordneten Funktionsdetail- und/oder Threaddetailbericht haben können.

Report Summary
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 The report summary consists of the following elements:

 - The trace command used to collect the trace.
 - The host that the trace was taken on.
 - The date that the trace was taken on.
 - The duration of the trace in seconds.
 - The estimated number of CPUs
 - The combined elapsed duration of the trace in seconds;
   ( the duration of the trace multiplied by the number of
     CPUs identified during the trace ).
 - Start time, which is the offset in seconds from the beginning of the
   trace that trace statistics begin to be gathered.
 - Stop time, which is the offset in seconds from the beginning of the
   trace that trace statistics stop being gathered.
 - Total number of acquisitions during the trace.
 - Acquisitions per second, which is computed by dividing
   the total number of lock acquisitions by the real-time
   duration of the trace.
 - % of Total Spin Time, this is the summation of all lock spin hold
   times, divided by the combined trace duration in seconds, divided by 100.
   The current goal is to have this value be less than 10% of the total
   trace duration.


 Lock Summary
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^

 The lock summary report has the following fields:

                  minus the number of times a thread was undispatched while

Wait             The number of unsuccessful lock attempts that
 or               resulted in the attempting thread going to
Transform         sleep to wait for the lock to become available,
                  or allocating a krlock.

%Miss            Spins divided by Acquisitions plus Spins, multiplied by 100.

                  threads held the lock in question while dispatched.
                  DISPATCHED_HOLDTIME_IN_SECONDS divided by combined
                  trace duration, multiplied by 100.

Real Elaps(ed)    The percent of combined elapsed trace time that
                  threads held the lock while dispatched or sleeping.
                  UNDISPATCHED_AND_DISPATCHED_HOLDTIME_IN_SECONDS divided
                  by combined trace duration, multiplied by 100.

                  threads spun while waiting to acquire this lock.
                  SPIN_HOLDTIME_IN_SECONDS divided by combined trace
                  duration, multiplied by 100.

Der Sperrenzusammenfassungsbericht ist standardmäßig eine Liste mit zehn Sperren, die in absteigender Reihenfolge nach Spin-Wartezeit (zehntes Feld) sortiert sind. Die Länge des Zusammenfassungsberichts kann mit dem Schalter -S angepasst werden. Die Sortierreihenfolge des Zusammenfassungsberichts (und aller anderen Berichte) kann mit dem Schalter -s festgelegt werden, dessen Optionen im Abschnitt SORTING der vom Befehl splat -h erzeugten Ausgabe beschrieben sind.

   SPIN:    this state represents a thread unsuccessfully trying to acquire
            a lock.

   WAIT:    this state represents a spinning thread (in SPIN) going to sleep
            (voluntarily) after exceeding the thread's spin threshold.

   UNDISP:  this state represents a spinning thread (in SPIN) becoming

Mit splat kann der Benutzer angeben, nach welchen Kriterien die Zusammenfassungs- und Sperrendetailberichte mit der Option -s sortiert werden. Das Standardsortierkriterium ist die Spin-Wartezeit in Prozent, die das Verhältnis der Zeit, die Threads auf eine Sperre warten, zur kombinierten Dauer des Trace angibt. Mit -s können die Sortierkriterien wie folgt geändert werden:
