This provides a framework to define a template describing a set of "variables of interest" and the intended way for the framework to maintain them (for example the maximum, sum, t-digest, or a combination thereof). Afterwards the user code feeds in the raw data, and the framework maintains these variables inside a user-provided, opaque stats blobs. The framework also provides a way to selectively extract the stats from the blobs. The stats(3) framework can be used in both userspace and the kernel. See the stats(3) manual page for details. This will be used by the upcoming TCP statistics gathering code, https://reviews.freebsd.org/D20655. The stats(3) framework is disabled by default for now, except in the NOTES kernel (for QA); it is expected to be enabled in amd64 GENERIC after a cool down period.

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
framework facilitates real-time kernel and user space statistics gathering.
|
|
The framework is built around the
|
|
.Dq statsblob ,
|
|
an object embedded within a contiguous memory allocation that is mostly opaque
|
|
to consumers and stores all required state.
|
|
A
|
|
.Dq statsblob
|
|
object can itself be embedded within other objects either directly or indirectly
|
|
using a pointer.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Objects or subsystems for which statistics are to be gathered are initialized
|
|
from a template
|
|
.Dq statsblob ,
|
|
which acts as the blueprint for an arbitrary set of
|
|
Variables Of Interest (VOIs) and their associated statistics.
|
|
Each template defines a schema plus associated metadata, which are kept separate
|
|
to minimize the memory footprint of blobs.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Data gathering hook functions added at appropriate locations within the code
|
|
base of interest feed VOI data into the framework for processing.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Each
|
|
.Dq statsblob ,
|
|
consists of a
|
|
.Vt struct statsblob
|
|
header and opaque internal blob structure per the following diagram:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
---------------------------------------------------------
|
|
| struct | uint8_t |
|
|
| statsblob | opaque[] |
|
|
---------------------------------------------------------
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The publicly visible 8-byte header is defined as:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
struct statsblob {
|
|
uint8_t abi;
|
|
uint8_t endian;
|
|
uint16_t flags;
|
|
uint16_t maxsz;
|
|
uint16_t cursz;
|
|
uint8_t opaque[];
|
|
};
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Va abi
|
|
specifies which API version the blob's
|
|
.Va opaque
|
|
internals conform to
|
|
.Pq Dv STATS_ABI_V1 is the only version currently defined .
|
|
.Va endian
|
|
specifies the endianness of the blob's fields
|
|
.Po
|
|
.Dv SB_LE
|
|
for little endian,
|
|
.Dv SB_BE
|
|
for big endian, or
|
|
.Dv SB_UE
|
|
for unknown endianness
|
|
.Pc .
|
|
.Va cursz
|
|
specifies the size of the blob, while
|
|
.Va maxsz
|
|
specifies the size of the underlying memory allocation in which the
|
|
blob is embedded.
|
|
Both
|
|
.Va cursz
|
|
and
|
|
.Va maxsz
|
|
default to units of bytes, unless a flag is set in
|
|
.Va flags
|
|
that dictates otherwise.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Templates are constructed by associating arbitrary VOI IDs with a set of
|
|
statistics, where each statistic is specified using a
|
|
.Vt struct voistatspec
|
|
per the definition below:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
struct voistatspec {
|
|
vss_hlpr_fn hlpr;
|
|
struct vss_hlpr_info *hlprinfo;
|
|
struct voistatdata *iv;
|
|
size_t vsdsz;
|
|
uint32_t flags;
|
|
enum vsd_dtype vs_dtype : 8;
|
|
enum voi_stype stype : 8;
|
|
};
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
It is generally expected that consumers will not work with
|
|
.Vt struct voistatspec
|
|
directly, and instead use the
|
|
.Fn STATS_VSS_*
|
|
helper macros.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
framework offers the following statistics for association with VOIs:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Dv VS_STYPE_TDGST"
|
|
.It Dv VS_STYPE_SUM
|
|
The sum of VOI values.
|
|
.It Dv VS_STYPE_MAX
|
|
The maximum VOI value.
|
|
.It Dv VS_STYPE_MIN
|
|
The minimum VOI value.
|
|
.It Dv VS_STYPE_HIST
|
|
A static bucket histogram of VOI values, including a count of
|
|
.Dq out-of-band/bucket Dc
|
|
values which did not match any bucket.
|
|
Histograms can be specified as
|
|
.Dq Em C Ns ontinuous Em R Ns ange Dc
|
|
.Pq CRHIST Pc ,
|
|
.Dq Em D Ns iscrete Em R Ns ange Dc
|
|
.Pq DRHIST Pc
|
|
or
|
|
.Dq Em D Ns iscrete Em V Ns alue Dc
|
|
.Pq DVHIST Pc ,
|
|
with 32 or 64 bit bucket counters, depending on the VOI semantics.
|
|
.It Dv VS_STYPE_TDGST
|
|
A dynamic bucket histogram of VOI values based on the t-digest method
|
|
.Po refer to the t-digest paper in the
|
|
.Sx SEE ALSO
|
|
section below
|
|
.Pc .
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A
|
|
.Dq visitor software design pattern Ns
|
|
-like scheme is employed to facilitate iterating over a blob's data without
|
|
concern for the blob's structure.
|
|
The data provided to visitor callback functions is encapsulated in
|
|
.Vt struct sb_visit
|
|
per the definition below:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
struct sb_visit {
|
|
struct voistatdata *vs_data;
|
|
uint32_t tplhash;
|
|
uint32_t flags;
|
|
int16_t voi_id;
|
|
int16_t vs_dsz;
|
|
enum vsd_dtype voi_dtype : 8;
|
|
enum vsd_dtype vs_dtype : 8;
|
|
int8_t vs_stype;
|
|
uint16_t vs_errs;
|
|
};
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn stats_tpl_sample_rates
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn stats_tpl_sample_rollthedice
|
|
functions utilize
|
|
.Vt struct stats_tpl_sample_rate
|
|
to encapsulate per-template sample rate information per the definition below:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
struct stats_tpl_sample_rate {
|
|
int32_t tpl_slot_id;
|
|
uint32_t tpl_sample_pct;
|
|
};
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Va tpl_slot_id
|
|
member holds the template's slot ID obtained from
|
|
.Fn stats_tpl_alloc
|
|
or
|
|
.Fn stats_tpl_fetch_allocid .
|
|
The
|
|
.Va tpl_sample_pct
|
|
member holds the template's sample rate as an integer percentage in the range
|
|
[0,100].
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Vt stats_tpl_sr_cb_t
|
|
conformant function pointer that is required as the
|
|
.Fa arg1
|
|
of
|
|
.Fn stats_tpl_sample_rates
|
|
is defined as:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
enum stats_tpl_sr_cb_action {
|
|
TPL_SR_UNLOCKED_GET,
|
|
TPL_SR_RLOCKED_GET,
|
|
TPL_SR_RUNLOCK,
|
|
TPL_SR_PUT
|
|
};
|
|
typedef int (*stats_tpl_sr_cb_t)(enum stats_tpl_sr_cb_action action,
|
|
struct stats_tpl_sample_rate **rates, int *nrates, void *ctx);
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
It is required that a conformant function:
|
|
.Bl -dash
|
|
.It
|
|
Return an appropriate
|
|
.Xr errno 2
|
|
on error, otherwise 0.
|
|
.It
|
|
When called with
|
|
.Qq action == TPL_SR_*_GET ,
|
|
return the subsystem's rates list ptr and count, locked or unlocked as
|
|
requested.
|
|
.It
|
|
When called with
|
|
.Qq action == TPL_SR_RUNLOCK ,
|
|
unlock the subsystem's rates list ptr and count.
|
|
Pair with a prior
|
|
.Qq action == TPL_SR_RLOCKED_GET
|
|
call.
|
|
.It
|
|
When called with
|
|
.Qq action == TPL_SR_PUT ,
|
|
update the subsystem's rates list ptr and count to the sysctl processed values
|
|
and return the inactive list details in
|
|
.Fa rates
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa nrates
|
|
for garbage collection by
|
|
.Fn stats_tpl_sample_rates .
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Where templates need to be referenced via textual means, for example via a MIB
|
|
variable, the following string based template spec formats can be used:
|
|
.Bl -enum
|
|
.It
|
|
.Qq <tplname> Qc Ns
|
|
:<tplhash>
|
|
.Ns , for example
|
|
.Qq TCP_DEFAULT Qc Ns
|
|
:1731235399
|
|
.It
|
|
.Qq <tplname> Qc
|
|
.Ns , for example
|
|
.Qq TCP_DEFAULT Qc
|
|
.It
|
|
:<tplhash>
|
|
.Ns , for example
|
|
:1731235399
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The first form is the normative spec format generated by the framework, while
|
|
the second and third forms are convenience formats primarily for user input.
|
|
The use of inverted commas around the template name is optional.
|
|
.Ss MIB Variables
|
|
The in-kernel
|
|
.Nm
|
|
framework exposes the following framework-specific variables in the
|
|
.Va kern.stats
|
|
branch of the
|
|
.Xr sysctl 3
|
|
MIB.
|
|
.Bl -tag -width "templates"
|
|
.It templates
|
|
Read-only CSV list of registered templates in normative template spec form.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Ss Template Management Functions
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn stats_tpl_alloc
|
|
function allocates a new template with the specified unique name and returns its
|
|
runtime-stable template slot ID for use with other API functions.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa flags
|
|
argument is currently unused.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn stats_tpl_fetch_allocid
|
|
function returns the runtime-stable template slot ID of any registered template
|
|
matching the specified name and hash.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn stats_tpl_fetch
|
|
function returns the pointer to the registered template object at the specified
|
|
template slot ID.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn stats_tpl_id2name
|
|
function returns the name of the registered template object at the specified
|
|
template slot ID.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn stats_tpl_sample_rates
|
|
function provides a generic handler for template sample rates management and
|
|
reporting via
|
|
.Xr sysctl 3
|
|
MIB variables.
|
|
Subsystems can use this function to create a subsystem-specific
|
|
.Xr SYSCTL_PROC 9
|
|
MIB variable that manages and reports subsystem-specific template sampling
|
|
rates.
|
|
Subsystems must supply a
|
|
.Vt stats_tpl_sr_cb_t
|
|
conformant function pointer as the sysctl's
|
|
.Fa arg1 ,
|
|
which is a callback used to interact with the subsystem's stats template sample
|
|
rates list.
|
|
Subsystems can optionally specify the sysctl's
|
|
.Fa arg2
|
|
as non-zero, which causes a zero-initialized allocation of arg2-sized contextual
|
|
memory to be heap-allocated and passed in to all subsystem callbacks made during
|
|
the operation of
|
|
.Fn stats_tpl_sample_rates .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn stats_tpl_sample_rollthedice
|
|
function makes a weighted random template selection from the supplied array of
|
|
template sampling rates.
|
|
The cumulative percentage of all sampling rates should not exceed 100.
|
|
If no seed is supplied, a PRNG is used to generate a true random number so that
|
|
every selection is independent.
|
|
If a seed is supplied, selection will be made randomly across different seeds, but
|
|
deterministically given the same seed.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn stats_tpl_add_voistats
|
|
function is used to add a VOI and associated set of statistics to the registered
|
|
template object at the specified template slot ID.
|
|
The set of statistics is passed as an array of
|
|
.Vt struct voistatspec
|
|
which can be initialized using the
|
|
.Fn STATS_VSS_*
|
|
helper macros or manually for non-standard use cases.
|
|
For static
|
|
.Fa vss
|
|
arrays, the
|
|
.Fa nvss
|
|
count of array elements can be determined by passing
|
|
.Fa vss
|
|
to the
|
|
.Fn NVSS
|
|
macro.
|
|
The
|
|
.Dv SB_VOI_RELUPDATE
|
|
flag can be passed to configure the VOI for use with
|
|
.Fn stats_voi_update_rel_<dtype> ,
|
|
which entails maintaining an extra 8 bytes of state in the blob at each update.
|
|
.Ss Data Gathering Functions
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn stats_voi_update_abs_<dtype>
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn stats_voi_update_rel_<dtype>
|
|
functions both update all the statistics associated with the VOI identified by
|
|
.Fa voi_id .
|
|
The
|
|
.Dq abs
|
|
call uses
|
|
.Fa voival
|
|
as an absolute value, whereas the
|
|
.Dq rel
|
|
call uses
|
|
.Fa voival
|
|
as a value relative to that of the previous update function call, by adding it
|
|
to the previous value and using the result for the update.
|
|
Relative updates are only possible for VOIs that were added to the template with
|
|
the
|
|
.Dv SB_VOI_RELUPDATE
|
|
flag specified to
|
|
.Fn stats_tpl_add_voistats .
|
|
.Ss Utility Functions
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn stats_blob_alloc
|
|
function allocates and initializes a new blob based on the registered template
|
|
object at the specified template slot ID.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn stats_blob_init
|
|
function initializes a new blob in an existing memory allocation based on the
|
|
registered template object at the specified template slot ID.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn stats_blob_clone
|
|
function duplicates the
|
|
.Fa src
|
|
blob into
|
|
.Fa dst ,
|
|
leaving only the
|
|
.Va maxsz
|
|
field of
|
|
.Fa dst
|
|
untouched.
|
|
The
|
|
.Dv SB_CLONE_ALLOCDST
|
|
flag can be passed to instruct the function to allocate a new blob of
|
|
appropriate size into which to clone
|
|
.Fa src ,
|
|
storing the new pointer in
|
|
.Fa *dst .
|
|
The
|
|
.Dv SB_CLONE_USRDSTNOFAULT
|
|
or
|
|
.Dv SB_CLONE_USRDST
|
|
flags can be set to respectively signal that
|
|
.Xr copyout_nofault 9
|
|
or
|
|
.Xr copyout 9
|
|
should be used because
|
|
.Fa *dst
|
|
is a user space address.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn stats_blob_snapshot
|
|
function calls
|
|
.Fn stats_blob_clone
|
|
to obtain a copy of
|
|
.Fa src
|
|
and then performs any additional functions required to produce a coherent
|
|
blob snapshot.
|
|
The flags interpreted by
|
|
.Fn stats_blob_clone
|
|
also apply to
|
|
.Fn stats_blob_snapshot .
|
|
Additionally, the
|
|
.Dv SB_CLONE_RSTSRC
|
|
flag can be used to effect a reset of the
|
|
.Fa src
|
|
blob's statistics after a snapshot is successfully taken.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn stats_blob_destroy
|
|
function destroys a blob previously created with
|
|
.Fn stats_blob_alloc ,
|
|
.Fn stats_blob_clone
|
|
or
|
|
.Fn stats_blob_snapshot .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn stats_blob_visit
|
|
function allows the caller to iterate over the contents of a blob.
|
|
The callback function
|
|
.Fa func
|
|
is called for every VOI and statistic in the blob, passing a
|
|
.Vt struct sb_visit
|
|
and the user context argument
|
|
.Fa usrctx
|
|
to the callback function.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa sbv
|
|
passed to the callback function may have one or more of the following flags set
|
|
in the
|
|
.Va flags
|
|
struct member to provide useful metadata about the iteration:
|
|
.Dv SB_IT_FIRST_CB ,
|
|
.Dv SB_IT_LAST_CB ,
|
|
.Dv SB_IT_FIRST_VOI ,
|
|
.Dv SB_IT_LAST_VOI ,
|
|
.Dv SB_IT_FIRST_VOISTAT ,
|
|
.Dv SB_IT_LAST_VOISTAT ,
|
|
.Dv SB_IT_NULLVOI
|
|
and
|
|
.Dv SB_IT_NULLVOISTAT .
|
|
Returning a non-zero value from the callback function terminates the iteration.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn stats_blob_tostr
|
|
renders a string representation of a blob into the
|
|
.Xr sbuf 9
|
|
.Fa buf .
|
|
Currently supported render formats are
|
|
.Dv SB_STRFMT_FREEFORM
|
|
and
|
|
.Dv SB_STRFMT_JSON .
|
|
The
|
|
.Dv SB_TOSTR_OBJDUMP
|
|
flag can be passed to render version specific opaque implementation detail for
|
|
debugging or string-to-binary blob reconstruction purposes.
|
|
The
|
|
.Dv SB_TOSTR_META
|
|
flag can be passed to render template metadata into the string representation,
|
|
using the blob's template hash to lookup the corresponding template.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn stats_voistatdata_tostr
|
|
renders a string representation of an individual statistic's data into the
|
|
.Xr sbuf 9
|
|
.Fa buf .
|
|
The same render formats supported by the
|
|
.Fn stats_blob_tostr
|
|
function can be specified, and the
|
|
.Fa objdump
|
|
boolean has the same meaning as the
|
|
.Dv SB_TOSTR_OBJDUMP
|
|
flag.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn stats_voistat_fetch_dptr
|
|
function returns an internal blob pointer to the specified
|
|
.Fa stype
|
|
statistic data for the VOI
|
|
.Fa voi_id .
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn stats_voistat_fetch_<dtype>
|
|
functions are convenience wrappers around
|
|
.Fn stats_voistat_fetch_dptr
|
|
to perform the extraction for simple data types.
|
|
.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
|
|
The following notes apply to STATS_ABI_V1 format statsblobs.
|
|
.Ss Space-Time Complexity
|
|
Blobs are laid out as three distinct memory regions following the header:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
------------------------------------------------------
|
|
| struct | struct | struct | struct |
|
|
| statsblobv1 | voi [] | voistat [] | voistatdata [] |
|
|
------------------------------------------------------
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Blobs store VOI and statistic blob state
|
|
.Po
|
|
8 bytes for
|
|
.Vt struct voi
|
|
and 8 bytes for
|
|
.Vt struct voistat
|
|
respectively
|
|
.Pc
|
|
in sparse arrays, using the
|
|
.Fa voi_id
|
|
and
|
|
.Vt enum voi_stype
|
|
as array indices.
|
|
This allows O(1) access to any voi/voistat pair in the blob, at the expense of
|
|
8 bytes of wasted memory per vacant slot for templates which do not specify
|
|
contiguously numbered VOIs and/or statistic types.
|
|
Data storage for statistics is only allocated for non-vacant slot pairs.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
To provide a concrete example, a blob with the following specification:
|
|
.Bl -dash
|
|
.It
|
|
Two VOIs; ID 0 and 2; added to the template in that order
|
|
.It
|
|
VOI 0 is of data type
|
|
.Vt int64_t ,
|
|
is configured with
|
|
.Dv SB_VOI_RELUPDATE
|
|
to enable support for relative updates using
|
|
.Fn stats_voi_update_rel_<dtype> ,
|
|
and has a
|
|
.Dv VS_STYPE_MIN
|
|
statistic associated with it.
|
|
.It
|
|
VOI 2 is of data type
|
|
.Vt uint32_t
|
|
with
|
|
.Dv VS_STYPE_SUM
|
|
and
|
|
.Dv VS_STYPE_MAX
|
|
statistics associated with it.

.Ss Locking
|
|
The

|
.Nm
|
|
framework does not provide any concurrency protection at the individual blob
|
|
level, instead requiring that consumers guarantee mutual exclusion when calling
|
|
API functions that reference a non-template blob.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The list of templates is protected with a
|
|
.Xr rwlock 9
|
|
in-kernel, and
|
|
.Xr pthread 3
|
|
rw lock in user space to support concurrency between template management and
|
|
blob initialization operations.
|
