Topics Covered
Why should I instrument my code ?
How do I go about instrumenting it ?
Mechanics of instrumentation
PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA: not just about performance

Why should I instrument my code ?
• Understand what resources it uses:
• memory, locks, time, files, etc.
• More debuggable
• Provides extra insight into code operation and issues
• Expose extra volatile information to users and administrators
• Make your code more portable

How do I instrument my code ?
Contribute data to the instruments provided
Future: add your own instruments
© 2019 Oracle5

Most of the times it’sTHAT easy !
#include <pthread.h>
pthread_mutex_t foo;
void do_something()
{
pthread_mutex_lock(&foo);
...
pthread_mutex_unlock(&foo);
}
#include "mysql/psi/mysql_mutex.h“
mysql_mutex_t foo;
void do_something()
{
mysql_mutex_lock(&foo);
...
mysql_mutex_unlock(&foo);
}

Extra step: register your objects
#ifdef HAVE_PSI_MUTEX_INTERFACE
PSI_mutex_key mutex_key_foo = PSI_NOT_INSTRUMENTED;
static PSI_mutex_info all_mutexes[]=
{
{ &mutex_key_foo, "LOCK_foo", PSI_FLAG_SINGLETON, 0, "example doc"},
..
}
..
count = static_cast<int>(array_elements(all_mutexes));
mysql_mutex_register(“category_foo”, all_mutexes, count);
..
mysql_mutex_init(mutex_key_foo, &foo, MY_MUTEX_INIT_FAST);
#endif /* HAVE_PSI_MUTEX_INTERFACE */

Instrumentation inventory: inline functions
• POSIX threads
• POSIX conditions
• POSIX mutexes
• POSIX read/write locks
• POSIX sockets
• Buffered and unbuffered file I/O
• MySQL stages
• MySQL metadata locks
mysql_thread.h
mysql_cond.h
mysql_mutex.h
mysql_rwlock.h
mysql_socket.h
mysql_file.h
mysql_stage.h
mysql_mdl.h

How do I instrument my memory use ?
#include <stdlib.h>
void *foo;
void do_something()
{
foo = malloc(12);
...
free(foo);
}
#include "mysys.h“
void *foo;
void do_something()
{
foo = my_malloc(mem_key_foo, 12, MYF(0));
...
my_free(foo);
}

Extra step: register your objects
#ifdef HAVE_PSI_MEMORY_INTERFACE
PSI_memory_key mem_key_foo = PSI_NOT_INSTRUMENTED;
static PSI_memory_info all_memory[] = {
{&mem_key_foo, “FOO", PSI_FLAG_ONLY_GLOBAL_STAT, 0, "example doc"}};
…
count = static_cast<int>(array_elements(all_memory));
mysql_memory_register(category, all_memory, count);
#endif /* HAVE_PSI_MEMORY_INTERFACE */

Instrumentation inventory: memory
• Plugin service implemented in mysys:
my_malloc(), my_free(), my_memdup()
etc.
• Static mysys inspired library to link with
components: just my_malloc() and my_free()

components/library_mysys/my_memory.h

Instrumenting other stuff: utility macros
#include <mysql/psi/mysql_idle.h>
…
PSI_idle_locker *m_idle_psi = NULL;
PSI_idle_locker_state m_idle_state;
…
MYSQL_START_IDLE_WAIT(m_idle_psi, &m_idle_state);
…
MYSQL_END_IDLE_WAIT(m_idle_psi);
…

Instrumentation inventory: utility macros
• Transactions
• Table locks
• “System” (currently shared objects)
• Statements
• Stored programs
• Prepared statements
• MySQL stages
• Errors
• Data locks
 Idle
mysql_transaction.h
mysql_table.h
mysql_system.h
mysql_statement.h
mysql_sp.h
mysql_ps.h
mysql_stage.h
mysql_error.h
mysql_data_lock.h
mysql_idle.h

Mechanics of code instrumentation
Under the hood
© 2019 Oracle14

Calling instrumentation: PSI_*_CALL macros
• Server code: direct call
• #define PSI_FILE_CALL(M) pfs_##M##_v1
• Plugins: function pointer
• #define PSI_FILE_CALL(M) psi_file_service->M
• Components: component service handle
• #define PSI_FILE_CALL(M) mysql_service_psi_file_v1->M

Random thoughts on good code instrumentation
• Always release the artifacts that instruments returned via the
intended methods !
• Instrumentation can be costly !
• Consider using component infrastructure
© 2019 Oracle16

Performance Schema
Not just about performance !
© 2019 Oracle17

PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA: Not just performance !
• Started as performance instrumentation. Still does it !
• Grown into general storage for fast-changing volatile data
• System variables
• Connection attributes
• Replication, innodb state
• Now supports adding new tables from components

Add a PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA table
From a component
