      perf: Fix performance issue with perf report · 02bf60aa
      Anton Blanchard 提交于
      On a large machine we spend a lot of time in perf_header__find_attr when
      running perf report.
      
      If we are parsing a file without PERF_SAMPLE_ID then for each sample we call
      perf_header__find_attr and loop through all counter IDs, never finding a match.
      As the machine gets larger there are more per cpu counters and we spend an
      awful lot of time in there.
      
      The patch below initialises each sample id to -1ULL and checks for this in
      perf_header__find_attr. We may need to do something more intelligent eventually
      (eg a hash lookup from counter id to attr) but this at least fixes the most
      common usage of perf report.

      perf: record TRACE_INFO only if using tracepoints and SAMPLE_RAW · 63e0c771
      Tom Zanussi 提交于
      The current perf code implicitly assumes SAMPLE_RAW means tracepoints
      are being used, but doesn't check for that.  It happily records the
      TRACE_INFO even if SAMPLE_RAW is used without tracepoints, but when the
      perf data is read it won't go any further when it finds TRACE_INFO but
      no tracepoints, and displays misleading errors.
      
      This adds a check for both in perf-record, and won't record TRACE_INFO
      unless both are true.  This at least allows perf report -D to dump raw
      events, and avoids triggering a misleading error condition in perf
      trace.  It doesn't actually enable the non-tracepoint raw events to be
      displayed in perf trace, since perf trace currently only deals with
      tracepoint events.

      perf: add perf-inject builtin · 454c407e
      Tom Zanussi 提交于
      Currently, perf 'live mode' writes build-ids at the end of the
      session, which isn't actually useful for processing live mode events.
      
      What would be better would be to have the build-ids sent before any of
      the samples that reference them, which can be done by processing the
      event stream and retrieving the build-ids on the first hit.  Doing
      that in perf-record itself, however, is off-limits.
      
      This patch introduces perf-inject, which does the same job while
      leaving perf-record untouched.  Normal mode perf still records the
      build-ids at the end of the session as it should, but for live mode,
      perf-inject can be injected in between the record and report steps
      e.g.:
      
      perf record -o - ./hackbench 10 | perf inject -v -b | perf report -v -i -
      
      perf-inject reads a perf-record event stream and repipes it to stdout.
      At any point the processing code can inject other events into the
      event stream - in this case build-ids (-b option) are read and
      injected as needed into the event stream.
      
      Build-ids are just the first user of perf-inject - potentially
      anything that needs userspace processing to augment the trace stream
      with additional information could make use of this facility.

      hw-breakpoints: Get the number of available registers on boot dynamically · feef47d0
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      The breakpoint generic layer assumes that archs always know in advance
      the static number of address registers available to host breakpoints
      through the HBP_NUM macro.
      
      However this is not true for every archs. For example Arm needs to get
      this information dynamically to handle the compatiblity between
      different versions.
      
      To solve this, this patch proposes to drop the static HBP_NUM macro
      and let the arch provide the number of available slots through a
      new hw_breakpoint_slots() function. For archs that have
      CONFIG_HAVE_MIXED_BREAKPOINTS_REGS selected, it will be called once
      as the number of registers fits for instruction and data breakpoints
      together.
      For the others it will be called first to get the number of
      instruction breakpoint registers and another time to get the
      data breakpoint registers, the targeted type is given as a
      parameter of hw_breakpoint_slots().

      hw-breakpoints: Handle breakpoint weight in allocation constraints · f93a2054
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      Depending on their nature and on what an arch supports, breakpoints
      may consume more than one address register. For example a simple
      absolute address match usually only requires one address register.
      But an address range match may consume two registers.
      
      Currently our slot allocation constraints, that tend to reflect the
      limited arch's resources, always consider that a breakpoint consumes
      one slot.
      
      Then provide a way for archs to tell us the weight of a breakpoint
      through a new hw_breakpoint_weight() helper. This weight will be
      computed against the generic allocation constraints instead of
      a constant value.

      hw-breakpoints: Separate constraint space for data and instruction breakpoints · 0102752e
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      There are two outstanding fashions for archs to implement hardware
      breakpoints.
      
      The first is to separate breakpoint address pattern definition
      space between data and instruction breakpoints. We then have
      typically distinct instruction address breakpoint registers
      and data address breakpoint registers, delivered with
      separate control registers for data and instruction breakpoints
      as well. This is the case of PowerPc and ARM for example.
      
      The second consists in having merged breakpoint address space
      definition between data and instruction breakpoint. Address
      registers can host either instruction or data address and
      the access mode for the breakpoint is defined in a control
      register. This is the case of x86 and Super H.
      
      This patch adds a new CONFIG_HAVE_MIXED_BREAKPOINTS_REGS config
      that archs can select if they belong to the second case. Those
      will have their slot allocation merged for instructions and
      data breakpoints.
      
      The others will have a separate slot tracking between data and
      instruction breakpoints.

      hw-breakpoints: Change/Enforce some breakpoints policies · b2812d03
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      The current policies of breakpoints in x86 and SH are the following:
      
      - task bound breakpoints can only break on userspace addresses
      - cpu wide breakpoints can only break on kernel addresses
      
      The former rule prevents ptrace breakpoints to be set to trigger on
      kernel addresses, which is good. But as a side effect, we can't
      breakpoint on kernel addresses for task bound breakpoints.
      
      The latter rule simply makes no sense, there is no reason why we
      can't set breakpoints on userspace while performing cpu bound
      profiles.
      
      We want the following new policies:
      
      - task bound breakpoint can set userspace address breakpoints, with
      no particular privilege required.
      - task bound breakpoints can set kernelspace address breakpoints but
      must be privileged to do that.
      - cpu bound breakpoints can do what they want as they are privileged
      already.
      
      To implement these new policies, this patch checks if we are dealing
      with a kernel address breakpoint, if so and if the exclude_kernel
      parameter is set, we tell the user that the breakpoint is invalid,
      which makes a good generic ptrace protection.
      If we don't have exclude_kernel, ensure the user has the right
      privileges as kernel breakpoints are quite sensitive (risk of
      trap recursion attacks and global performance impacts).

      perf: Fix warning while reading ring buffer headers · d00a47cc
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      commit e9e94e3b
      "perf trace: Ignore "overwrite" field if present in
      /events/header_page" makes perf trace launching spurious warnings
      about unexpected tokens read:
      
      	Warning: Error: expected type 6 but read 4
      
      This change tries to handle the overcommit field in the header_page
      file whenever this field is present or not.
      
      The problem is that if this field is not present, we try to find it
      and give up in the middle of the line when we realize we are actually
      dealing with another field, which is the "data" one. And this failure
      abandons the file pointer in the middle of the "data" description
      line:
      
      	field: u64 timestamp;	offset:0;	size:8;	signed:0;
      	field: local_t commit;	offset:8;	size:8;	signed:1;
      	field: char data;	offset:16;	size:4080;	signed:1;
                            ^^^
                            Here
      
      What happens next is that we want to read this line to parse the data
      field, but we fail because the pointer is not in the beginning of the
      line.
      
      We could probably fix that by rewinding the pointer. But in fact we
      don't care much about these headers that only concern the ftrace
      ring-buffer. We don't use them from perf.
      
      Just skip this part of perf.data, but don't remove it from recording
      to stay compatible with olders perf.data

      kgdb: don't needlessly skip PAGE_USER test for Fsl booke · 56151e75
      Wufei 提交于
      The bypassing of this test is a leftover from 2.4 vintage
      kernels, and is no longer appropriate, or even used by KGDB.
      Currently KGDB uses probe_kernel_write() for all access to
      memory via the KGDB core, so it can simply be deleted.
      
      This fixes CVE-2010-1446.

      perf test: Initial regression testing command · 1c6a800c
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 提交于
      First an example with the first internal test:
      
      [acme@doppio linux-2.6-tip]$ perf test
       1: vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms: Ok
      
      So it run just one test, that is "vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms", and it was
      successful.
      
      If we run it in verbose mode, we'll see details about errors and extra warnings
      for non-fatal problems:
      
      [acme@doppio linux-2.6-tip]$ perf test -v
       1: vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms:
      --- start ---
      Looking at the vmlinux_path (5 entries long)
      No build_id in vmlinux, ignoring it
      No build_id in /boot/vmlinux, ignoring it
      No build_id in /boot/vmlinux-2.6.34-rc4-tip+, ignoring it
      Using /lib/modules/2.6.34-rc4-tip+/build/vmlinux for symbols
      Maps only in vmlinux:
       ffffffff81cb81b1-ffffffff81e1149b 0 [kernel].init.text
       ffffffff81e1149c-ffffffff9fffffff 0 [kernel].exit.text
       ffffffffff600000-ffffffffff6000ff 0 [kernel].vsyscall_0
       ffffffffff600100-ffffffffff6003ff 0 [kernel].vsyscall_fn
       ffffffffff600400-ffffffffff6007ff 0 [kernel].vsyscall_1
       ffffffffff600800-ffffffffffffffff 0 [kernel].vsyscall_2
      Maps in vmlinux with a different name in kallsyms:
       ffffffffff600000-ffffffffff6000ff 0 [kernel].vsyscall_0 in kallsyms as [kernel].0
       ffffffffff600100-ffffffffff6003ff 0 [kernel].vsyscall_fn in kallsyms as:
      *ffffffffff600100-ffffffffff60012f 0 [kernel].2
       ffffffffff600400-ffffffffff6007ff 0 [kernel].vsyscall_1 in kallsyms as [kernel].6
       ffffffffff600800-ffffffffffffffff 0 [kernel].vsyscall_2 in kallsyms as [kernel].8
      Maps only in kallsyms:
       ffffffffff600130-ffffffffff6003ff 0 [kernel].4
      ---- end ----
      vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms: Ok
      [acme@doppio linux-2.6-tip]$
      
      In the above case we only know the name of the non contiguous kernel ranges in
      the address space when reading the symbol information from the ELF symtab in
      vmlinux.
      
      The /proc/kallsyms file lack this, we only notice they are separate because
      there are modules after the kernel and after that more kernel functions, so we
      need to have a module rbtree backed by the module .ko path to get symtabs in
      the vmlinux case.
      
      The tool uses it to match by address to emit appropriate warning, but don't
      considers this fatal.
      
      The .init.text and .exit.text ines, of course, aren't in kallsyms, so I left
      these cases just as extra info in verbose mode.
      
      The end of the sections also aren't in kallsyms, so we the symbols layer does
      another pass and sets the end addresses as the next map start minus one, which
      sometimes pads, causing harmless mismatches.
      
      But at least the symbols match, tested it by copying /proc/kallsyms to
      /tmp/kallsyms and doing changes to see if they were detected.
      
      This first test also should serve as a first stab at documenting the
      symbol library by providing a self contained example that exercises it
      together with comments about what is being done.
      
      More tests to check if actions done on a monitored app, like doing mmaps, etc,
      makes the kernel generate the expected events should be added next.

      xfs: add a shrinker to background inode reclaim · 9bf729c0
      Dave Chinner 提交于
      On low memory boxes or those with highmem, kernel can OOM before the
      background reclaims inodes via xfssyncd. Add a shrinker to run inode
      reclaim so that it inode reclaim is expedited when memory is low.
      
      This is more complex than it needs to be because the VM folk don't
      want a context added to the shrinker infrastructure. Hence we need
      to add a global list of XFS mount structures so the shrinker can
      traverse them.

      When CONFIG_BLOCK is set, it ends up getting backing-dev.h included.
      But for !CONFIG_BLOCK, it isn't so lucky. The proper thing to do is
      include <linux/backing-dev.h> directly from the file it's used from,
