23 * Aggregate-sum counters are a form of fanned-out counter, used when atomic
24 * instructions on a single field cause enough CPU cache line contention to
25 * slow system performance. Due to their increased overhead and the expense
26 * involved with precisely reading from them, they should only be used in cases
27 * where the write rate (increment/decrement) is much higher than the read rate
28 * (get value).
29 *
30 * Aggregate sum counters are comprised of two basic parts, the core and the
31 * buckets. The core counter contains a lock for the entire counter, as well
32 * as the current upper and lower bounds on the value of the counter. The
33 * aggsum_bucket structure contains a per-bucket lock to protect the contents of
34 * the bucket, the current amount that this bucket has changed from the global
35 * counter (called the delta), and the amount of increment and decrement we have
36 * "borrowed" from the core counter.
37 *
38 * The basic operation of an aggsum is simple. Threads that wish to modify the
39 * counter will modify one bucket's counter (determined by their current CPU, to
40 * help minimize lock and cache contention). If the bucket already has
41 * sufficient capacity borrowed from the core structure to handle their request,
42 * they simply modify the delta and return. If the bucket does not, we clear
43 * the bucket's current state (to prevent the borrowed amounts from getting too
44 * large), and borrow more from the core counter. Borrowing is done by adding to
45 * the upper bound (or subtracting from the lower bound) of the core counter,
46 * and setting the borrow value for the bucket to the amount added (or
47 * subtracted). Clearing the bucket is the opposite; we add the current delta
48 * to both the lower and upper bounds of the core counter, subtract the borrowed
49 * incremental from the upper bound, and add the borrowed decrement from the
50 * lower bound. Note that only borrowing and clearing require access to the
51 * core counter; since all other operations access CPU-local resources,
52 * performance can be much higher than a traditional counter.
53 *
54 * Threads that wish to read from the counter have a slightly more challenging
55 * task. It is fast to determine the upper and lower bounds of the aggum; this
56 * does not require grabbing any locks. This suffices for cases where an
57 * approximation of the aggsum's value is acceptable. However, if one needs to
58 * know whether some specific value is above or below the current value in the
59 * aggsum, they invoke aggsum_compare(). This function operates by repeatedly
60 * comparing the target value to the upper and lower bounds of the aggsum, and
61 * then clearing a bucket. This proceeds until the target is outside of the
62 * upper and lower bounds and we return a response, or the last bucket has been
63 * cleared and we know that the target is equal to the aggsum's value. Finally,
64 * the most expensive operation is determining the precise value of the aggsum.
65 * To do this, we clear every bucket and then return the upper bound (which must
66 * be equal to the lower bound). What makes aggsum_compare() and aggsum_value()
67 * expensive is clearing buckets. This involves grabbing the global lock
68 * (serializing against themselves and borrow operations), grabbing a bucket's
69 * lock (preventing threads on those CPUs from modifying their delta), and
70 * zeroing out the borrowed value (forcing that thread to borrow on its next
71 * request, which will also be expensive). This is what makes aggsums well
72 * suited for write-many read-rarely operations.

73 *
74 * Note that the aggsums do not expand if more CPUs are hot-added. In that
75 * case, we will have less fanout than boot_ncpus, but we don't want to always
76 * reserve the RAM necessary to create the extra slots for additional CPUs up
77 * front, and dynamically adding them is a complex task.
