    sched_ext: Print debug dump after an error exit · 07814a94
    Tejun Heo authored
    If a BPF scheduler triggers an error, the scheduler is aborted and the
    system is reverted to the built-in scheduler. In the process, a lot of
    information which may be useful for figuring out what happened can be lost.
    
    This patch adds debug dump which captures information which may be useful
    for debugging including runqueue and runnable thread states at the time of
    failure. The following shows a debug dump after triggering the watchdog:

      EXIT: runnable task stall (stress[1530] failed to run for 6.841s)
    
    It shows that CPU 3 was running the watchdog when it triggered the error
    condition and the scx_qmap thread has been queued on CPU 0 for over 5
    seconds but failed to run. It also prints out scx_qmap specific information
    - e.g. which tasks are queued on each FIFO and so on using the dump_*() ops.
    This dump has proved pretty useful for developing and debugging BPF
    schedulers.
    
    Debug dump is generated automatically when the BPF scheduler exits due to an
    error. The debug buffer used in such cases is determined by
    sched_ext_ops.exit_dump_len and defaults to 32k. If the debug dump overruns
    the available buffer, the output is truncated and marked accordingly.
    
    Debug dump output can also be read through the sched_ext_dump tracepoint.
    When read through the tracepoint, there is no length limit.
    
    SysRq-D can be used to trigger debug dump at any time while a BPF scheduler
    is loaded. This is non-destructive - the scheduler keeps running afterwards.
    The output can be read through the sched_ext_dump tracepoint.
    
    v2: - The size of exit debug dump buffer can now be customized using
          sched_ext_ops.exit_dump_len.
    
        - sched_ext_ops.dump*() added to enable dumping of BPF scheduler
          specific information.
    
        - Tracpoint output and SysRq-D triggering added.
