Usually, pmus that do, for example, instruction tracing, would only ever be able to have one event per task per cpu (or per perf_event_context). For such pmus it makes sense to disallow creating conflicting events early on, so as to provide consistent behavior for the user. This patch adds a pmu capability that indicates such constraint on event creation.

For pmus that don't support scatter-gather for AUX data in hardware, it might still make sense to implement software double buffering to avoid losing data while the user is reading data out. For this purpose, add a pmu capability that guarantees multiple high-order chunks for AUX buffer, so that the pmu driver can do switchover tricks. To make use of this feature, add PERF_PMU_CAP_AUX_SW_DOUBLEBUF to your pmu's capability mask. This will make the ring buffer AUX allocation code ensure that the biggest high order allocation for the aux buffer pages is no bigger than half of the total requested buffer size, thus making sure that the buffer has at least two high order allocations.

This patch introduces "AUX space" in the perf mmap buffer, intended for exporting high bandwidth data streams to userspace, such as instruction flow traces. AUX space is a ring buffer, defined by aux_{offset,size} fields in the user_page structure, and read/write pointers aux_{head,tail}, which abide by the same rules as data_* counterparts of the main perf buffer. In order to allocate/mmap AUX, userspace needs to set up aux_offset to such an offset that will be greater than data_offset+data_size and aux_size to be the desired buffer size. Both need to be page aligned. Then, same aux_offset and aux_size should be passed to mmap() call and if everything adds up, you should have an AUX buffer as a result. Pages that are mapped into this buffer also come out of user's mlock rlimit plus perf_event_mlock_kb allowance.

While thinking on the whole clock discussion it occurred to me we have two distinct uses of time: 1) the tracking of event/ctx/cgroup enabled/running/stopped times which includes the self-monitoring support in struct perf_event_mmap_page. 2) the actual timestamps visible in the data records. And we've been conflating them. The first is all about tracking time deltas, nobody should really care in what time base that happens, its all relative information, as long as its internally consistent it works. The second however is what people are worried about when having to merge their data with external sources. And here we have the discussion on MONOTONIC vs MONOTONIC_RAW etc.. Where MONOTONIC is good for correlating between machines (static offset), MONOTNIC_RAW is required for correlating against a fixed rate hardware clock. This means configurability; now 1) makes that hard because it needs to be internally consistent across groups of unrelated events; which is why we had to have a global perf_clock(). However, for 2) it doesn't really matter, perf itself doesn't care what it writes into the buffer. The below patch makes the distinction between these two cases by adding perf_event_clock() which is used for the second case. It further makes this configurable on a per-event basis, but adds a few sanity checks such that we cannot combine events with different clocks in confusing ways. And since we then have per-event configurability we might as well retain the 'legacy' behaviour as a default.

Add support for task events as well as system-wide events. This change has a big impact on the way that we gather LLC occupancy values in intel_cqm_event_read(). Currently, for system-wide (per-cpu) events we defer processing to userspace which knows how to discard all but one cpu result per package. Things aren't so simple for task events because we need to do the value aggregation ourselves. To do this, we defer updating the LLC occupancy value in event->count from intel_cqm_event_read() and do an SMP cross-call to read values for all packages in intel_cqm_event_count(). We need to ensure that we only do this for one task event per cache group, otherwise we'll report duplicate values. If we're a system-wide event we want to fallback to the default perf_event_count() implementation. Refactor this into a common function so that we don't duplicate the code. Also, introduce PERF_TYPE_INTEL_CQM, since we need a way to track an event's task (if the event isn't per-cpu) inside of the Intel CQM PMU driver. This task information is only availble in the upper layers of the perf infrastructure. Other perf backends stash the target task in event->hw.*target so we need to do something similar. The task is used to determine whether events should share a cache group and an RMID.

Future Intel Xeon processors support a Cache QoS Monitoring feature that allows tracking of the LLC occupancy for a task or task group, i.e. the amount of data in pulled into the LLC for the task (group). Currently the PMU only supports per-cpu events. We create an event for each cpu and read out all the LLC occupancy values. Because this results in duplicate values being written out to userspace, we also export a .per-pkg event file so that the perf tools only accumulate values for one cpu per package.

For PMU drivers that record per-package counters, the ->count variable cannot be used to record an accurate aggregated value, since it's not possible to perform SMP cross-calls to cpus on other packages from the context in which we update ->count. Introduce a new optional ->count() accessor function that can be used to customize how values are collected. If a PMU driver doesn't provide a ->count() function, we fallback to the existing code. There is necessarily a window of staleness with this approach because the task that generated the counter value may not have been scheduled by the cpu recently. An alternative and more complex approach would be to use a hrtimer to periodically refresh the values from a more permissive scheduling context. So, we're trading off complexity for accuracy.

Currently the adjusments made as part of perf_event_task_tick() use the percpu rotation lists to iterate over any active PMU contexts, but these are not used by the context rotation code, having been replaced by separate (per-context) hrtimer callbacks. However, some manipulation of the rotation lists (i.e. removal of contexts) has remained in perf_rotate_context(). This leads to the following issues: * Contexts are not always removed from the rotation lists. Removal of PMUs which have been placed in rotation lists, but have not been removed by a hrtimer callback can result in corruption of the rotation lists (when memory backing the context is freed). This has been observed to result in hangs when PMU drivers built as modules are inserted and removed around the creation of events for said PMUs. * Contexts which do not require rotation may be removed from the rotation lists as a result of a hrtimer, and will not be considered by the unthrottling code in perf_event_task_tick. This patch fixes the issue by updating the rotation ist when events are scheduled in/out, ensuring that each rotation list stays in sync with the HW state. As each event holds a refcount on the module of its PMU, this ensures that when a PMU module is unloaded none of its CPU contexts can be in a rotation list. By maintaining a list of perf_event_contexts rather than perf_event_cpu_contexts, we don't need separate paths to handle the cpu and task contexts, which also makes the code a little simpler. As the rotation_list variables are not used for rotation, these are renamed to active_ctx_list, which better matches their current function. perf_pmu_rotate_{start,stop} are renamed to perf_pmu_ctx_{activate,deactivate}.

The fix from 9fc81d87 ("perf: Fix events installation during moving group") was incomplete in that it failed to recognise that creating a group with events for different CPUs is semantically broken -- they cannot be co-scheduled. Furthermore, it leads to real breakage where, when we create an event for CPU Y and then migrate it to form a group on CPU X, the code gets confused where the counter is programmed -- triggered in practice as well by me via the perf fuzzer. Fix this by tightening the rules for creating groups. Only allow grouping of counters that can be co-scheduled in the same context. This means for the same task and/or the same cpu.

Both Linus (most recent) and Steve (a while ago) reported that perf related callbacks have massive stack bloat. The problem is that software events need a pt_regs in order to properly report the event location and unwind stack. And because we could not assume one was present we allocated one on stack and filled it with minimal bits required for operation. Now, pt_regs is quite large, so this is undesirable. Furthermore it turns out that most sites actually have a pt_regs pointer available, making this even more onerous, as the stack space is pointless waste. This patch addresses the problem by observing that software events have well defined nesting semantics, therefore we can use static per-cpu storage instead of on-stack. Linus made the further observation that all but the scheduler callers of perf_sw_event() have a pt_regs available, so we change the regular perf_sw_event() to require a valid pt_regs (where it used to be optional) and add perf_sw_event_sched() for the scheduler. We have a scheduler specific call instead of a more generic _noregs() like construct because we can assume non-recursion from the scheduler and thereby simplify the code further (_noregs would have to put the recursion context call inline in order to assertain which __perf_regs element to use). One last note on the implementation of perf_trace_buf_prepare(); we allow .regs = NULL for those cases where we already have a pt_regs pointer available and do not need another.

On x86_64, at least, task_pt_regs may be only partially initialized in many contexts, so x86_64 should not use it without extra care from interrupt context, let alone NMI context. This will allow x86_64 to override the logic and will supply some scratch space to use to make a cleaner copy of user regs.

Enable capture of interrupted machine state for each sample. Registers to sample are passed per event in the sample_regs_intr bitmask. To sample interrupt machine state, the PERF_SAMPLE_INTR_REGS must be passed in sample_type. The list of available registers is arch dependent and provided by asm/perf_regs.h Registers are laid out as u64 in the order of the bit order of sample_intr_regs. This patch also adds a new ABI version PERF_ATTR_SIZE_VER4 because we extend the perf_event_attr struct with a new u64 field.

Adding new perf event state to indicate that the monitored task has exited. In this case the event stays alive until the owner task exits or close the event fd while providing the last data through the read syscall and ring buffer. Instead it needs to propagate the error info (monitored task has died) via poll and read syscalls by returning POLLHUP and 0 respectively.

In cases when the owner task exits before the workload and the workload made some forks, all the events stay in until the last workload process exits. Thats' because each child event holds parent reference. We want to release all children events once the parent is gone, because at that time there's no process to read them anyway, so they're just eating resources. This removal races with process exit, which removes all events and fork, which clone events. To be clear of those two, adding work queue to remove orphaned child for context in case such event is detected. Using delayed work queue (with delay == 1), because we queue this work under perf scheduler callbacks. Normal work queue tries to wake up the queue process, which deadlocks on rq->lock in this place. Also preventing clones from abandoned parent event.

perf tools like 'perf report' can aggregate samples by comm strings, which generally works. However, there are other potential use-cases. For example, to pair up 'calls' with 'returns' accurately (from branch events like Intel BTS) it is necessary to identify whether the process has exec'd. Although a comm event is generated when an 'exec' happens it is also generated whenever the comm string is changed on a whim (e.g. by prctl PR_SET_NAME). This patch adds a flag to the comm event to differentiate one case from the other. In order to determine whether the kernel supports the new flag, a selection bit named 'exec' is added to struct perf_event_attr. The bit does nothing but will cause perf_event_open() to fail if the bit is set on kernels that do not have it defined.

Alexander noticed that we use RCU iteration on rb->event_list but do not use list_{add,del}_rcu() to add,remove entries to that list, nor do we observe proper grace periods when re-using the entries. Merge ring_buffer_detach() into ring_buffer_attach() such that attaching to the NULL buffer is detaching. Furthermore, ensure that between any 'detach' and 'attach' of the same event we observe the required grace period, but only when strictly required. In effect this means that only ioctl(.request = PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT) will wait for a grace period, while the normal initial attach and final detach will not be delayed. This patch should, I think, do the right thing under all circumstances, the 'normal' cases all should never see the extra grace period, but the two cases: 1) PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT on an event which already has a ring_buffer set, will now observe the required grace period between removing itself from the old and attaching itself to the new buffer. This case is 'simple' in that both buffers are present in perf_event_set_output() one could think an unconditional synchronize_rcu() would be sufficient; however... 2) an event that has a buffer attached, the buffer is destroyed (munmap) and then the event is attached to a new/different buffer using PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT. This case is more complex because the buffer destruction does: ring_buffer_attach(.rb = NULL) followed by the ioctl() doing: ring_buffer_attach(.rb = foo); and we still need to observe the grace period between these two calls due to us reusing the event->rb_entry list_head. In order to make 2 happen we use Paul's latest cond_synchronize_rcu() call.

Subsystems that want to register CPU hotplug callbacks, as well as perform initialization for the CPUs that are already online, often do it as shown below: get_online_cpus(); for_each_online_cpu(cpu) init_cpu(cpu); register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier); put_online_cpus(); This is wrong, since it is prone to ABBA deadlocks involving the cpu_add_remove_lock and the cpu_hotplug.lock (when running concurrently with CPU hotplug operations). Instead, the correct and race-free way of performing the callback registration is: cpu_notifier_register_begin(); for_each_online_cpu(cpu) init_cpu(cpu); /* Note the use of the double underscored version of the API */ __register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier); cpu_notifier_register_done(); Fix the perf subsystem's hotplug notifier by using this latter form of callback registration. Also provide a bare-bones version of perf_cpu_notifier() that doesn't invoke the notifiers for the already online CPUs. This would be useful for subsystems that need to perform a different set of initialization for the already online CPUs, or don't need the initialization altogether.

This patch fixes a problem with the initialization of the struct perf_event active_entry field. It is defined inside an anonymous union and was initialized in perf_event_alloc() using INIT_LIST_HEAD(). However at that time, we do not know whether the event is going to use active_entry or hlist_entry (SW). Or at last, we don't want to make that determination there. The problem is that hlist and list_head are not initialized the same way. One is okay with NULL (from kzmalloc), the other needs to pointers to point to self. This patch resolves this problem by dropping the union. This will avoid problems later on, if someone starts using active_entry or hlist_entry without verifying that they actually overlap. This also solves the initialization problem.

This patch adds a new field to the struct perf_event. It is intended to be used to chain events which are active (enabled). It helps in the hardware layer for PMUs which do not have actual counter restrictions, i.e., free running read-only counters. Active events are chained as opposed to being tracked via the counter they use. To save space we use a union with hlist_entry as both are mutually exclusive (suggested by Jiri Olsa).

Add a generic qualifier for transaction events, as a new sample type that returns a flag word. This is particularly useful for qualifying aborts: to distinguish aborts which happen due to asynchronous events (like conflicts caused by another CPU) versus instructions that lead to an abort. The tuning strategies are very different for those cases, so it's important to distinguish them easily and early. Since it's inconvenient and inflexible to filter for this in the kernel we report all the events out and allow some post processing in user space. The flags are based on the Intel TSX events, but should be fairly generic and mostly applicable to other HTM architectures too. In addition to various flag words there's also reserved space to report an program supplied abort code. For TSX this is used to distinguish specific classes of aborts, like a lock busy abort when doing lock elision. Flags: Elision and generic transactions (ELISION vs TRANSACTION) (HLE vs RTM on TSX; IBM etc. would likely only use TRANSACTION) Aborts caused by current thread vs aborts caused by others (SYNC vs ASYNC) Retryable transaction (RETRY) Conflicts with other threads (CONFLICT) Transaction write capacity overflow (CAPACITY WRITE) Transaction read capacity overflow (CAPACITY READ) Transactions implicitely aborted can also return an abort code. This can be used to signal specific events to the profiler. A common case is abort on lock busy in a RTM eliding library (code 0xff) To handle this case we include the TSX abort code Common example aborts in TSX would be: - Data conflict with another thread on memory read. Flags: TRANSACTION|ASYNC|CONFLICT - executing a WRMSR in a transaction. Flags: TRANSACTION|SYNC - HLE transaction in user space is too large Flags: ELISION|SYNC|CAPACITY-WRITE The only flag that is somewhat TSX specific is ELISION. This adds the perf core glue needed for reporting the new flag word out. v2: Add MEM/MISC v3: Move transaction to the end v4: Separate capacity-read/write and remove misc v5: Remove _SAMPLE. Move abort flags to 32bit.

While auditing the list_entry usage due to a trinity bug I found that perf_pmu_migrate_context violates the rules for perf_event::event_entry. The problem is that perf_event::event_entry is a RCU list element, and hence we must wait for a full RCU grace period before re-using the element after deletion. Therefore the usage in perf_pmu_migrate_context() which re-uses the entry immediately is broken. For now introduce another list_head into perf_event for this specific usage. This doesn't actually fix the trinity report because that never goes through this code.

Commit b2029520 ("perf, core: Rate limit perf_sched_events jump_label patching") introduced rate limiting for jump label disabling. The changes were made in the jump label code in order to be more widely available and to keep things tidier. This is all fine, except now jump_label.h includes linux/workqueue.h, which makes it impossible to include jump_label.h from anything that workqueue.h needs. For example, it's now impossible to include jump_label.h from asm/spinlock.h, which is done in proposed pv-ticketlock patches. This patch splits out the rate limiting related changes from jump_label.h into a new file, jump_label_ratelimit.h, to resolve the issue.

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in commit 5e427ec2 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time") is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created with improper use of the various __init prefixes. After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone, we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h. This removes all the uses of the __cpuinit macros from C files in the core kernel directories (kernel, init, lib, mm, and include) that don't really have a specific maintainer.
