SHOW SHM_CPP

Displays information about the shared memory common property partitions (CPPs). The default display shows a single page summary which includes a single line for each CPP.

Format

SHOW SHM_CPP [/ QUALIFIERS]


Parameters

None.

Qualifiers

/ADDRESS=n

Displays a detailed page of information about an individual shared memory CPP given the address of the SHM_CPP structure.

/ALL

Displays a detailed page of information about each shared memory CPP.

/IDENT=n

Displays a detailed page of information about an individual shared memory CPP.

/PFN [=option]

Displays PFN data in addition to the basic SHM_CPP. The default is all lists (free, bad, untested), plus the PFN database pages and the complete range of PFNs in the CPP.

To display only the complete range of PFNs in the CPP, use the keyword ALL_FRAGMENTS with the /PFN qualifier:


     /PFN = ALL_FRAGMENTS 

To display only the bad page list, use the keyword BAD with the /PFN qualifier:


     /PFN = BAD 

To display only the free page list, use the keyword FREE with the /PFN qualifier:


     /PFN = FREE 

To display the PFNs containing the PFN database, use the keyword PFNDB with the /PFN qualifier:


     /PFN = PFNDB 

To display only the untested page list, use the keyword UNTESTED with the /PFN qualifier:


     /PFN = UNTESTED 

To display multiple lists, you can combine keywords with the /PFN qualifier:


     /PFN = (x,y) 

Note that if /PFN is given without /ALL, /IDENT, or /ADDRESS, then the system displays the PFN list(s) from the last shared memory CPP accessed.

SHOW SPINLOCKS

Displays the multiprocessing synchronization data structures.

Format

SHOW SPINLOCKS {[name]|/ADDRESS=expression|/INDEX=expression} [/COUNTS|/OWNED|/DYNAMIC|/STATIC] [{/BRIEF|/FULL}]


Parameter

name

Name of the spinlock, fork lock, or device lock structure to be displayed. Device lock names are of the form [node$]lock, where node optionally indicates the OpenVMS Cluster node name (allocation class) and lock indicates the device and controller identification (for example, HAETAR$DUA).

Qualifiers

/ADDRESS=expression

Displays the lock at the address specified in expression. You can use the /ADDRESS qualifier to display a specific device lock; however, the name of the device lock is listed as "Unknown" in the display.

/BRIEF

Produces a condensed display of the lock information displayed by default by the SHOW SPINLOCKS command, including the following: address, spinlock name or device name, IPL or device IPL, rank, ownership depth, and CPU ID of the owner CPU. If the system under analysis was executing with full-checking multiprocessing enabled (according to the setting of the MULTIPROCESSING or SYSTEM_CHECK system parameter), then the number of waiting CPUs and interlock status are also displayed.

/COUNTS

Produces a display of Spin, Wait, and Acquire counts for each spinlock (only if full-checking multiprocessing enabled).

/DYNAMIC

Displays information for all device locks in the system.

/FULL

Displays full descriptive and diagnostic information for each displayed spinlock, fork lock, or device lock.

/INDEX=expression

Displays the system spinlock whose index is specified in expression. You cannot use the /INDEX qualifier to display a device lock.

/OWNED

Displays information for all spinlocks, fork locks, and device locks owned by the SDA current CPU. If a processor does not own any spinlocks, SDA displays the following message:


No spinlocks currently owned by CPU xx 
The xx represents the CPU ID of the processor.

/STATIC

Displays information for all system spinlocks and fork locks.

Description

The SHOW SPINLOCKS command displays status and diagnostic information about the multiprocessing synchronization structures known as spinlocks.

A static spinlock is a spinlock whose data structure is permanently assembled into the system. Static spinlocks are accessed as indexes into a vector of longword addresses called the spinlock vector, the address of which is contained in SMP$AR_SPNLKVEC. System spinlocks and fork locks are static spinlocks. Table 4-24 lists the static spinlocks.

A dynamic spinlock is a spinlock that is created based on the configuration of a particular system. One such dynamic spinlock is the device lock SYSMAN creates when configuring a particular device. This device lock synchronizes access to the device's registers and certain UCB fields. The system creates a dynamic spinlock by allocating space from nonpaged pool, rather than assembling the lock into the system as it does in creating a static spinlock.

See the Writing OpenVMS Alpha Device Drivers in C for a full discussion of the role of spinlocks in maintaining synchronization of kernel mode activities in a multiprocessing environment.

Table 4-24 Static Spinlocks
Name Description
QUEUEAST Fork lock for queuing ASTs at IPL 6
FILSYS Lock on file system structures
LCKMGR Lock on all lock manager structures
IOLOCK8/SCS Fork lock for executing a driver fork process at IPL 8
TX_SYNCH Transaction processing lock
TIMER Lock for adding and deleting timer queue entries and searching the timer queue
PORT Template structure for dynamic spinlocks for ports with multiple devices
IO_MISC Miscellaneous short term I/O locks
MMG Lock on memory management, PFN database, swapper, modified page writer, and creation of per-CPU database structures
SCHED Lock on process control blocks (PCBs), scheduler database, and mutex acquisition and release structures
IOLOCK9 Fork lock for executing a driver fork process at IPL 9
IOLOCK10 Fork lock for executing a driver fork process at IPL 10
IOLOCK11 Fork lock for executing a driver fork process at IPL 11
MAILBOX Lock for sending messages to mailboxes
POOL Lock on nonpaged pool database
PERFMON Lock for I/O performance monitoring
INVALIDATE Lock for system space translation buffer (TB) invalidation
HWCLK Lock on hardware clock database, including the quadword containing the due time of the first timer queue entry (EXE$GQ_1ST_TIME) and the quadword containing the system time (EXE$GQ_SYSTIME)
MEGA Lock for serializing access to fork-wait queue
EMB/MCHECK Lock for allocating and releasing error-logging buffers and synchronizing certain machine error handling

For each spinlock, fork lock, or device lock in the system, SHOW SPINLOCKS provides the following information:

The last two items (CPUs waiting and Interlock) are only displayed if full-checking multiprocessing is enabled.

SHOW SPINLOCKS/BRIEF produces a condensed display of this same information, excluding the share array and timeout interval.

SHOW SPINLOCKS/COUNTS displays only the Spin, Wait, and Acquire counts for each spinlock.

If the system under analysis was executing with full-checking multiprocessing enabled, SHOW SPINLOCKS/FULL adds to the spinlock display the Spin, Wait, and Acquire counts and the last sixteen PCs at which the lock was acquired or released. If applicable, SDA also displays the PC of the last release of multiple, nested acquisitions of the lock.

If no spinlock name, address, or index is given, then information is displayed for all applicable spinlocks.
