    DESCRIPTION

    provides an interface to retrieve kernel memory allocator statistics, for the purposes of debugging and system monitoring, insulating applications from implementation details of the allocators, and allowing a tool to transparently support multiple allocators. supports both retrieving a single statistics snapshot, as well as incrementally updating statistics for long-term monitoring.

    describes each memory type using a Vt struct memory_type , an opaque memory type accessed by the application using accessor functions in the library. returns and updates chains of Vt struct memory_type via a Vt struct memory_type_list , which will be allocated by calling memstat_mtl_alloc (,);
    and freed on completion using memstat_mtl_free (.);
    Lists of memory types are populated via calls that query the kernel for statistics information; currently: memstat_kvm_all (,);
    memstat_kvm_malloc (,);
    memstat_kvm_uma (,);
    memstat_sysctl_all (,);
    memstat_sysctl_uma (,);
    and memstat_sysctl_malloc (.);
    Repeated calls will incrementally update the list of memory types, permitting tracking over time without recreating all list state. If an error is detected during a query call, error condition information may be retrieved using memstat_mtl_geterror (,);
    and converted to a user-readable string using memstat_strerror (.);

    Freeing the list will free all memory type data in the list, and so invalidates any outstanding pointers to entries in the list. Vt struct memory_type entries in the list may be iterated over using memstat_mtl_first ();
    and memstat_mtl_next (,);
    which respectively return the first entry in a list, and the next entry in a list. memstat_mtl_find (,);
    which will return a pointer to the first entry matching the passed parameters.

    A series of accessor methods is provided to access fields of the structure, including retrieving statistics and properties, as well as setting of caller owned fields. Direct application access to the data structure fields is not supported.  

    Library Vt memory_type  

    Fields

    Each Vt struct memory_type holds a description of the memory type, including its name and the allocator it is managed by, as well as current statistics on use. Some statistics are directly measured, others are derived from directly measured statistics. Certain high level statistics are present across all available allocators, such as the number of allocation and free operations; other measurements, such as the quantity of free items in per-CPU caches, or administrative limit on the number of allocations, is available only for specific allocators.  

    Caller Vt memory_type  

    Fields

    Vt struct memory_type includes fields to allow the application to store data, in the form of pointers and 64-bit integers, with memory types. For example, the application author might make use of one of the caller pointers to reference a more complex data structure tracking long-term behavior of the memory type, or a window system object that is used to render the state of the memory type. General and per-CPU storage is provided with each Vt struct memory_type in the form of an array of pointers and integers. The array entries are accessed via the Fa index argument to the get and set accessor methods. Possible values of Fa index range between 0 and MEMSTAT_MAXCALLER

    Caller-owned fields are initialized to 0 or NULL when a new Vt struct memory_type is allocated and attached to a memory type list; these fields retain their values across queries that update library-owned fields.  

    Allocator Types

    Currently, supports two kernel allocators: ALLOCATOR_UMA for uma(9), and ALLOCATOR_MALLOC for malloc(9). These values may be passed to memstat_mtl_find (,);
    and will be returned by memstat_get_allocator (.);
    Two additional constants in the allocator name space are defined: ALLOCATOR_UNKNOWN which will only be returned as a result of a library error, and ALLOCATOR_ANY which can be used to specify that returning types matching any allocator is permittible from memstat_mtl_find (.);
     

    Access Method List

    The following accessor methods are defined, of which some will be valid for a given memory type:

    Fn memstat_get_name
    Return a pointer to the name of the memory type. Memory for the name is owned by and will be valid through a call to memstat_mtl_free (.);
    Note that names will be unique with respect to a single allocator, but that the same name might be used by different memory types owned by different memory allocators.
    Fn memstat_get_allocator
    Return an integer identifier for the memory allocator that owns the memory type.
    Fn memstat_get_countlimit
    If the memory type has an administrative limit on the number of simultaneous allocations, return it.
    Fn memstat_get_byteslimit
    If the memory type has an administrative limit on the number of bytes of memory that may be simultaenously allocated for the memory type, return it.
    Fn memstat_get_sizemask
    If the memory type supports variable allocation sizes, return a bitmask of sizes allocated for the memory type.
    Fn memstat_get_size
    If the memory type supports a fixed allocation size, return that size.
    Fn memstat_get_memalloced
    Return the total number of bytes allocated for the memory type over its lifetime.
    Fn memstat_get_memfreed
    Return the total number of bytes freed for the memory type over its lifetime.
    Fn memstat_get_numallocs
    Return the total number of allocations for the memory type over its lifetime.
    Fn memstat_get_numfrees
    Return the total number of frees for the memory type over its lifetime.
    Fn memstat_get_bytes
    Return the current number of bytes allocated to the memory type.
    Fn memstat_get_count
    Return the current number of allocations for the memory type.
    Fn memstat_get_free
    If the memory allocator supports a cache, return the number of items in the cache.
    Fn memstat_get_failures
    If the memory allocator and type permit allocation failures, return the number of allocation failures measured.
    Fn memstat_get_caller_pointer
    Return a caller-owned pointer for the memory type.
    Fn memstat_set_caller_pointer
    Set a caller-owned pointer for the memory type.
    Fn memstat_get_caller_uint64
    Return a caller-owned integer for the memory type.
    Fn memstat_set_caller_uint64
    Set a caller-owned integer for the memory type.
    Fn memstat_get_zonefree
    If the memory allocator supports a multi-level allocation structure, return the number of cached items in the zone. These items will be in a fully constructed state available for immediate use.
    Fn memstat_get_kegfree
    If the memory allocator supports a multi-level allocation structure, return the number of cached items in the keg. These items may be in a partially constructed state, and may require further processing before they can be made available for use.
    Fn memstat_get_percpu_memalloced
    If the memory allocator supports per-CPU statistics, return the number of bytes of memory allocated for the memory type on the CPU over its lifetime.
    Fn memstat_get_percpu_memfreed
    If the memory allocator supports per-CPU statistics, return the number of bytes of memory freed from the memory type on the CPU over its lifetime.
    Fn memstat_get_percpu_numallocs
    If the memory allocator supports per-CPU statistics, return the number of allocations for the memory type on the CPU over its lifetime.
    Fn memstat_get_percpu_numfrees
    If the memory allocator supports per-CPU statistics, return the number of frees for the memory type on the CPU over its lifetime.
    Fn memstat_get_percpu_sizemask
    If the memory allocator supports variable size memory allocation and per-CPU statistics, return the size bitmask for the memory type on the CPU.
    Fn memstat_get_percpu_caller_pointer
    Return a caller-owned per-CPU pointer for the memory type.
    Fn memstat_set_percpu_caller_pointer
    Set a caller-owned per-CPU pointer for the memory type.
    Fn memstat_get_percpu_caller_uint64
    Return a caller-owned per-CPU integer for the memory type.
    Fn memsttat_set_percpu_caller_uint64
    Set a caller-owned per-CPU integer for the memory type.
    Fn memstat_get_percpu_free
    If the memory allocator supports a per-CPU cache, return the number of free items in the per-CPU cache of the designated CPU.

     

    RETURN VALUES

    functions fall into three categories: functions returning a pointer to an object, functions returning an integer return value, and functions implementing accessor methods returning data from a Vt struct memory_type .

    Functions returning a pointer to an object will generally return NULL on failure. memstat_mtl_alloc ();
    will return an error value via errno which will consist of the value Er ENOMEM . Functions memstat_mtl_first (,);
    memstat_mtl_next (,);
    and memstat_mtl_find ();
    will return NULL when there is no entry or match in the list; however, this is not considered a failure mode and no error value is available.

    Functions returning an integer success value will return 0 on success, or -1 on failure. If a failure is returned, the list error access method, memstat_mtl_geterror (,);
    may be used to retrieve the error state. The string representation of the error may be retrieved using memstat_strerror (.);
    Possible error values are:

    MEMSTAT_ERROR_UNDEFINED
    Undefined error. Occurs if memstat_mtl_geterror ();
    is called on a list before an error associated with the list has occurred.
    MEMSTAT_ERROR_NOMEMORY
    Insufficient memory. Occurs if library calls to malloc(3) fail, or if a system call to retrieve kernel statistics fails with Er ENOMEM .
    MEMSTAT_ERROR_VERSION
    Returned if the current version of is unable to interpret the statistics data returned by the kernel due to an explicit version mismatch, or to differences in data structures that cannot be reconciled.
    MEMSTAT_ERROR_PERMISSION
    Returned if a statistics source returns errno values of Er EACCES or Er EPERM .
    MEMSTAT_ERROR_TOOMANYCPUS
    Returned if the compile-time limit on the number of CPUs in is lower than the number of CPUs returned by a statistics data source.
    MEMSTAT_ERROR_DATAERROR
    Returned if is unable to interpret statistics data returned by the data source, even though there does not appear to be a version problem.
    MEMSTAT_ERROR_KVM
    Returned if experiences an error while using kvm(3) interfaces to query statistics data. Use kvm_geterr3 to retrieve the error.
    MEMSTAT_ERROR_KVM_NOSYMBOL
    Returned if is unable to read a required symbol from the kernel being operated on.
    MEMSTAT_ERROR_KVM_SHORTREAD
    Returned if attempts to read data from a live memory image or kernel core dump and insufficient data is returned.

    Finally, functions returning data from a Vt struct memory_type pointer are not permitted to fail, and directly return either a statistic or pointer to a string.  

    EXAMPLES

    Create a memory type list, query the uma(9) memory allocator for available statistics, and print out the number of allocations performed by the mbuf zone.
    struct memory_type_list *mtlp;
    struct memory_type *mtp;
    uint64_t mbuf_count;
    
    mtlp = memstat_mtl_alloc();
    if (mtlp == NULL)
        err(-1, "memstat_mtl_alloc");
    if (memstat_sysctl_uma(mtlp, 0) < 0)
        err(-1, "memstat_sysctl_uma");
    mtp = memstat_mtl_find(mtlp, ALLOCATOR_UMA, "mbuf");
    if (mtp == NULL)
        errx(-1, "memstat_mtl_find: mbuf not found");
    mbuf_count = memstat_get_count(mtp);
    memstat_mtl_free(mtlp);
    
    printf("mbufs: %llu\n", (unsigned long long)mbuf_count);

    HISTORY

    The library appeared in Fx 6.0 .  

    AUTHORS

    The kernel memory allocator changes necessary to support a general purpose monitoring library, along with the library, were written by An Robert Watson Aq [email protected] .  

    BUGS

    There are memory allocators in the kernel, such as the VM page allocator and sf_buf allocator, which are not currently supported by .

    Once a memory type is present on a memory type list, it will not be removed even if the kernel no longer presents information on the type via its monitoring interfaces. In order to flush removed memory types, it is necessary to free the entire list and allocate a new one.
