      perf/core, x86: Add PERF_SAMPLE_PHYS_ADDR · fc7ce9c7
      由 Kan Liang 提交于 
      For understanding how the workload maps to memory channels and hardware
behavior, it's very important to collect address maps with physical
addresses. For example, 3D XPoint access can only be found by filtering
the physical address.

Add a new sample type for physical address.

perf already has a facility to collect data virtual address. This patch
introduces a function to convert the virtual address to physical address.
The function is quite generic and can be extended to any architecture as
long as a virtual address is provided.

 - For kernel direct mapping addresses, virt_to_phys is used to convert
   the virtual addresses to physical address.

 - For user virtual addresses, __get_user_pages_fast is used to walk the
   pages tables for user physical address.

 - This does not work for vmalloc addresses right now. These are not
   resolved, but code to do that could be added.

The new sample type requires collecting the virtual address. The
virtual address will not be output unless SAMPLE_ADDR is applied.

For security, the physical address can only be exposed to root or
privileged user.

      perf/core, pt, bts: Get rid of itrace_started · 8d4e6c4c
      由 Alexander Shishkin 提交于 
      I just noticed that hw.itrace_started and hw.config are aliased to the
same location. Now, the PT driver happens to use both, which works out
fine by sheer luck:

 - STORE(hw.itrace_start) is ordered before STORE(hw.config), in the
    program order, although there are no compiler barriers to ensure that,

 - to the perf_log_itrace_start() hw.itrace_start looks set at the same
   time as when it is intended to be set because both stores happen in the
   same path,

 - hw.config is never reset to zero in the PT driver.

Now, the use of hw.config by the PT driver makes more sense (it being a
HW PMU) than messing around with itrace_started, which is an awkward API
to begin with.

This patch replaces hw.itrace_started with an attach_state bit and an
API call for the PMU drivers to use to communicate the condition.

      perf/ftrace: Fix double traces of perf on ftrace:function · 75e83876
      由 Zhou Chengming 提交于 
      When running perf on the ftrace:function tracepoint, there is a bug
which can be reproduced by:

  perf record -e ftrace:function -a sleep 20 &
  perf record -e ftrace:function ls
  perf script

              ls 10304 [005]   171.853235: ftrace:function:
  perf_output_begin
              ls 10304 [005]   171.853237: ftrace:function:
  perf_output_begin
              ls 10304 [005]   171.853239: ftrace:function:
  task_tgid_nr_ns
              ls 10304 [005]   171.853240: ftrace:function:
  task_tgid_nr_ns
              ls 10304 [005]   171.853242: ftrace:function:
  __task_pid_nr_ns
              ls 10304 [005]   171.853244: ftrace:function:
  __task_pid_nr_ns

We can see that all the function traces are doubled.

The problem is caused by the inconsistency of the register
function perf_ftrace_event_register() with the probe function
perf_ftrace_function_call(). The former registers one probe
for every perf_event. And the latter handles all perf_events
on the current cpu. So when two perf_events on the current cpu,
the traces of them will be doubled.

So this patch adds an extra parameter "event" for perf_tp_event,
only send sample data to this event when it's not NULL.

      x86/perf/cqm: Wipe out perf based cqm · c39a0e2c
      由 Vikas Shivappa 提交于 
      'perf cqm' never worked due to the incompatibility between perf
infrastructure and cqm hardware support.  The hardware uses RMIDs to
track the llc occupancy of tasks and these RMIDs are per package. This
makes monitoring a hierarchy like cgroup along with monitoring of tasks
separately difficult and several patches sent to lkml to fix them were
NACKed. Further more, the following issues in the current perf cqm make
it almost unusable:

    1. No support to monitor the same group of tasks for which we do
    allocation using resctrl.

    2. It gives random and inaccurate data (mostly 0s) once we run out
    of RMIDs due to issues in Recycling.

    3. Recycling results in inaccuracy of data because we cannot
    guarantee that the RMID was stolen from a task when it was not
    pulling data into cache or even when it pulled the least data. Also
    for monitoring llc_occupancy, if we stop using an RMID_x and then
    start using an RMID_y after we reclaim an RMID from an other event,
    we miss accounting all the occupancy that was tagged to RMID_x at a
    later perf_count.

    2. Recycling code makes the monitoring code complex including
    scheduling because the event can lose RMID any time. Since MBM
    counters count bandwidth for a period of time by taking snap shot of
    total bytes at two different times, recycling complicates the way we
    count MBM in a hierarchy. Also we need a spin lock while we do the
    processing to account for MBM counter overflow. We also currently
    use a spin lock in scheduling to prevent the RMID from being taken
    away.

    4. Lack of support when we run different kind of event like task,
    system-wide and cgroup events together. Data mostly prints 0s. This
    is also because we can have only one RMID tied to a cpu as defined
    by the cqm hardware but a perf can at the same time tie multiple
    events during one sched_in.

    5. No support of monitoring a group of tasks. There is partial support
    for cgroup but it does not work once there is a hierarchy of cgroups
    or if we want to monitor a task in a cgroup and the cgroup itself.

    6. No support for monitoring tasks for the lifetime without perf
    overhead.

    7. It reported the aggregate cache occupancy or memory bandwidth over
    all sockets. But most cloud and VMM based use cases want to know the
    individual per-socket usage.

      perf/tracing/cpuhotplug: Fix locking order · a63fbed7
      由 Thomas Gleixner 提交于 
      perf, tracing, kprobes and jump_labels have a gazillion of ways to create
dependency lock chains. Some of those involve nested invocations of
get_online_cpus().

The conversion of the hotplug locking to a percpu rwsem requires to avoid
such nested calls. sys_perf_event_open() protects most of the syscall logic
against cpu hotplug. This causes nested calls and lock inversions versus
ftrace and kprobes in various interesting ways.

It's impossible to move the hotplug locking to the outer end of all call
chains in the involved facilities, so the hotplug protection in
sys_perf_event_open() needs to be solved differently.

Introduce 'pmus_mutex' which protects a perf private online cpumask. This
mutex is taken when the mask is updated in the cpu hotplug callbacks and
can be taken in sys_perf_event_open() to protect the swhash setup/teardown
code and when the final judgement about a valid event has to be made.

      perf: Add PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES to include namespaces related info · e4222673
      由 Hari Bathini 提交于 
      With the advert of container technologies like docker, that depend on
namespaces for isolation, there is a need for tracing support for
namespaces. This patch introduces new PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES event for
recording namespaces related info. By recording info for every
namespace, it is left to userspace to take a call on the definition of a
container and trace containers by updating perf tool accordingly.

Each namespace has a combination of device and inode numbers. Though
every namespace has the same device number currently, that may change in
future to avoid the need for a namespace of namespaces. Considering such
possibility, record both device and inode numbers separately for each
namespace.

      perf/core: Remove perf_cpu_context::unique_pmu · 1fd7e416
      由 David Carrillo-Cisneros 提交于 
      cpuctx->unique_pmu was originally introduced as a way to identify cpuctxs
with shared pmus in order to avoid visiting the same cpuctx more than once
in a for_each_pmu loop.

cpuctx->unique_pmu == cpuctx->pmu in non-software task contexts since they
have only one pmu per cpuctx. Since perf_pmu_sched_task() is only called in
hw contexts, this patch replaces cpuctx->unique_pmu by cpuctx->pmu in it.

The change above, together with the previous patch in this series, removed
the remaining uses of cpuctx->unique_pmu, so we remove it altogether.

      perf/core: Make cgroup switch visit only cpuctxs with cgroup events · 058fe1c0
      由 David Carrillo-Cisneros 提交于 
      This patch follows from a conversation in CQM/CMT's last series about
speeding up the context switch for cgroup events:

  https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9478617/

This is a low-hanging fruit optimization. It replaces the iteration over
the "pmus" list in cgroup switch by an iteration over a new list that
contains only cpuctxs with at least one cgroup event.

This is necessary because the number of PMUs have increased over the years
e.g modern x86 server systems have well above 50 PMUs.

The iteration over the full PMU list is unneccessary and can be costly in
heavy cache contention scenarios.

Below are some instrumentation measurements with 10, 50 and 90 percentiles
of the total cost of context switch before and after this optimization for
a simple array read/write microbenchark.

where:

  1 event type  = cycles
  2 event types = cycles,intel_cqm/llc_occupancy/

   Contention L2 Low: workset  <  L2 cache size.
                 High:  "     >>  L2   "     " .
   Contention L3 Low: workset of task on all sockets  <  L3 cache size.
                 High:   "     "   "   "   "    "    >>  L3   "     " .

   Median Speedup is (50%ile Before - 50%ile After) /  50%ile Before

Unsurprisingly, the benefits of this optimization decrease with the number
of cpuctxs with a cgroup events, yet, is never detrimental.

      perf/x86/intel: Account interrupts for PEBS errors · 475113d9

      It's possible to set up PEBS events to get only errors and not

via 2 perf commands running simultaneously:

    taskset -c 1 ./perf record -c 4 -e branches:pp -j any -C 10

This leads to a soft lock up, because the error path of the
intel_pmu_drain_pebs_nhm() does not account event->hw.interrupt
for error PEBS interrupts, so in case you're getting ONLY
errors you don't have a way to stop the event when it's over
the max_samples_per_tick limit:

We keep the pending_kill and pending_wakeup logic only in the
__perf_event_overflow() path, because they make sense only if
there's any data to deliver.

While it looks like the first WARN() is probably valid, the other one is
triggered by disabling event via perf_event_disable() from atomic context.

The event is disabled here in case we were not able to emulate
the instruction that hit the breakpoint. By disabling the event
we unschedule the event and make sure it's not scheduled back.

But we can't call perf_event_disable() from atomic context, instead
we need to use the event's pending_disable irq_work method to disable it.

      perf, bpf: add perf events core support for BPF_PROG_TYPE_PERF_EVENT programs · aa6a5f3c
      由 Alexei Starovoitov 提交于 
      Allow attaching BPF_PROG_TYPE_PERF_EVENT programs to sw and hw perf events
via overflow_handler mechanism.
When program is attached the overflow_handlers become stacked.
The program acts as a filter.
Returning zero from the program means that the normal perf_event_output handler
will not be called and sampling event won't be stored in the ring buffer.

The overflow_handler_context==NULL is an additional safety check
to make sure programs are not attached to hw breakpoints and watchdog
in case other checks (that prevent that now anyway) get accidentally
relaxed in the future.

The program refcnt is incremented in case perf_events are inhereted
when target task is forked.
Similar to kprobe and tracepoint programs there is no ioctl to
detach the program or swap already attached program. The user space
expected to close(perf_event_fd) like it does right now for kprobe+bpf.
That restriction simplifies the code quite a bit.

The invocation of overflow_handler in __perf_event_overflow() is now
done via READ_ONCE, since that pointer can be replaced when the program
is attached while perf_event itself could have been active already.
There is no need to do similar treatment for event->prog, since it's
assigned only once before it's accessed.

      Introduce BPF_PROG_TYPE_PERF_EVENT programs that can be attached to

The program visible context meta structure is
struct bpf_perf_event_data {

which is accessible directly from the program:
int bpf_prog(struct bpf_perf_event_data *ctx)
{
  ... ctx->sample_period ...
  ... ctx->regs.ip ...
}

The bpf verifier rewrites the accesses into kernel internal
struct bpf_perf_event_data_kern which allows changing
struct perf_sample_data without affecting bpf programs.
New fields can be added to the end of struct bpf_perf_event_data
in the future.

      perf/core: Introduce PMU_EV_CAP_READ_ACTIVE_PKG · d6a2f903
      由 David Carrillo-Cisneros 提交于 
      Introduce the flag PMU_EV_CAP_READ_ACTIVE_PKG, useful for uncore events,
that allows a PMU to signal the generic perf code that an event is readable
in the current CPU if the event is active in a CPU in the same package as
the current CPU.

This is an optimization that avoids a unnecessary IPI for the common case
where uncore events are run and read in the same package but in
different CPUs.

As an example, the IPI removal speeds up perf_read() in my Haswell system
as follows:

  - For event UNC_C_LLC_LOOKUP: From 260 us to 31 us.
  - For event RAPL's power/energy-cores/: From to 255 us to 27 us.

For the optimization to work, all events in the group must have it
(similarly to PERF_EV_CAP_SOFTWARE).

      perf/core: Generalize event->group_flags · 4ff6a8de
      由 David Carrillo-Cisneros 提交于 
      Currently, PERF_GROUP_SOFTWARE is used in the group_flags field of a
group's leader to indicate that is_software_event(event) is true for all
events in a group. This is the only usage of event->group_flags.

This pattern of setting a group level flags when all events in the group
share a property is useful for the flag introduced in the next patch and
for future CQM/CMT flags. So this patches generalizes group_flags to work
as an aggregate of event level flags.

PERF_GROUP_SOFTWARE denotes an inmutable event's property. All other flags
that I intend to add are also determinable at event initialization.
To better convey the above, this patch renames event's group_flags to
group_caps and PERF_GROUP_SOFTWARE to PERF_EV_CAP_SOFTWARE.

Individual event flags are stored in the new event->event_caps. Since the
cap flags do not change after event initialization, there is no need to
serialize event_caps. This new field is used when events are added to a
context, similarly to how PERF_GROUP_SOFTWARE and is_software_event()
worked.

Lastly, for consistency, updates is_software_event() to rely in event_cap
instead of the context index.

      perf/core: Optimize perf_pmu_sched_task() · e48c1788
      由 Peter Zijlstra 提交于 
      For perf record -b, which requires the pmu::sched_task callback the
current code is rather expensive:

     7.68%  sched-pipe  [kernel.vmlinux]    [k] perf_pmu_sched_task
     5.95%  sched-pipe  [kernel.vmlinux]    [k] __switch_to

The problem is that it will iterate all registered PMUs, most of which
will not have anything to do. Avoid this by keeping an explicit list
of PMUs that have requested the callback.

The perf_sched_cb_{inc,dec}() functions already takes the required pmu
argument, and now that these functions are no longer called from NMI
context we can use them to manage a list.

With this patch applied the function doesn't show up in the top 4

      perf/core: Set cgroup in CPU contexts for new cgroup events · db4a8356
      由 David Carrillo-Cisneros 提交于 
      There's a perf stat bug easy to observer on a machine with only one cgroup:

  $ perf stat -e cycles -I 1000 -C 0 -G /
  #          time             counts unit events
      1.000161699      <not counted>      cycles                    /
      2.000355591      <not counted>      cycles                    /
      3.000565154      <not counted>      cycles                    /
      4.000951350      <not counted>      cycles                    /

We'd expect some output there.

The underlying problem is that there is an optimization in
perf_cgroup_sched_{in,out}() that skips the switch of cgroup events
if the old and new cgroups in a task switch are the same.

This optimization interacts with the current code in two ways
that cause a CPU context's cgroup (cpuctx->cgrp) to be NULL even if a
cgroup event matches the current task. These are:

  1. On creation of the first cgroup event in a CPU: In current code,
  cpuctx->cpu is only set in perf_cgroup_sched_in, but due to the
  aforesaid optimization, perf_cgroup_sched_in will run until the next
  cgroup switches in that CPU. This may happen late or never happen,
  depending on system's number of cgroups, CPU load, etc.

  2. On deletion of the last cgroup event in a cpuctx: In list_del_event,
  cpuctx->cgrp is set NULL. Any new cgroup event will not be sched in
  because cpuctx->cgrp == NULL until a cgroup switch occurs and
  perf_cgroup_sched_in is executed (updating cpuctx->cgrp).

This patch fixes both problems by setting cpuctx->cgrp in list_add_event,
mirroring what list_del_event does when removing a cgroup event from CPU
context, as introduced in:

  commit 68cacd29 ("perf_events: Fix stale ->cgrp pointer in update_cgrp_time_from_cpuctx()")

With this patch, cpuctx->cgrp is always set/clear when installing/removing
the first/last cgroup event in/from the CPU context. With cpuctx->cgrp
correctly set, event_filter_match works as intended when events are
sched in/out.

After the fix, the output is as expected:

  $ perf stat -e cycles -I 1000 -a -G /
  #         time             counts unit events
     1.004699159          627342882      cycles                    /
     2.007397156          615272690      cycles                    /

      bpf, events: fix offset in skb copy handler · aa7145c1
      由 Daniel Borkmann 提交于 
      This patch fixes the __output_custom() routine we currently use with
bpf_skb_copy(). I missed that when len is larger than the size of the
current handle, we can issue multiple invocations of copy_func, and
__output_custom() advances destination but also source buffer by the
written amount of bytes. When we have __output_custom(), this is actually
wrong since in that case the source buffer points to a non-linear object,
in our case an skb, which the copy_func helper is supposed to walk.
Therefore, since this is non-linear we thus need to pass the offset into
the helper, so that copy_func can use it for extracting the data from
the source object.

Therefore, adjust the callback signatures properly and pass offset
into the skb_header_pointer() invoked from bpf_skb_copy() callback. The
__DEFINE_OUTPUT_COPY_BODY() is adjusted to accommodate for two things:
i) to pass in whether we should advance source buffer or not; this is
a compile-time constant condition, ii) to pass in the offset for
__output_custom(), which we do with help of __VA_ARGS__, so everything
can stay inlined as is currently. Both changes allow for adapting the
__output_* fast-path helpers w/o extra overhead.

      perf, events: add non-linear data support for raw records · 7e3f977e
      由 Daniel Borkmann 提交于 
      This patch adds support for non-linear data on raw records. It
extends raw records to have one or multiple fragments that will
be written linearly into the ring slot, where each fragment can
optionally have a custom callback handler to walk and extract
complex, possibly non-linear data.

If a callback handler is provided for a fragment, then the new
__output_custom() will be used instead of __output_copy() for
the perf_output_sample() part. perf_prepare_sample() does all
the size calculation only once, so perf_output_sample() doesn't
need to redo the same work anymore, meaning real_size and padding
will be cached in the raw record. The raw record becomes 32 bytes
in size without holes; to not increase it further and to avoid
doing unnecessary recalculations in fast-path, we can reuse
next pointer of the last fragment, idea here is borrowed from
ZERO_OR_NULL_PTR(), which should keep the perf_output_sample()
path for PERF_SAMPLE_RAW minimal.

This facility is needed for BPF's event output helper as a first
user that will, in a follow-up, add an additional perf_raw_frag
to its perf_raw_record in order to be able to more efficiently
dump skb context after a linear head meta data related to it.
skbs can be non-linear and thus need a custom output function to
dump buffers. Currently, the skb data needs to be copied twice;
with the help of __output_custom() this work only needs to be
done once. Future users could be things like XDP/BPF programs
that work on different context though and would thus also have
a different callback function.

The few users of raw records are adapted to initialize their frag
data from the raw record itself, no change in behavior for them.
The code is based upon a PoC diff provided by Peter Zijlstra [1].

      We will use it to count how many addresses are in the entry->ip[] array,
excluding PERF_CONTEXT_{KERNEL,USER,etc} entries, so that we can really
return the number of entries specified by the user via the relevant
sysctl, kernel.perf_event_max_contexts, or via the per event
perf_event_attr.sample_max_stack knob.

This way we keep the perf_sample->ip_callchain->nr meaning, that is the
number of entries, be it real addresses or PERF_CONTEXT_ entries, while
honouring the max_stack knobs, i.e. the end result will be max_stack
entries if we have at least that many entries in a given stack trace.

      perf/arm: Special-case hetereogeneous CPUs · 5101ef20
      由 Mark Rutland 提交于 
      Commit:

  26657848 ("perf/core: Verify we have a single perf_hw_context PMU")

forcefully prevents multiple PMUs from sharing perf_hw_context, as this
generally doesn't make sense. It is a common bug for uncore PMUs to
use perf_hw_context rather than perf_invalid_context, which this detects.

However, systems exist with heterogeneous CPUs (and hence heterogeneous
HW PMUs), for which sharing perf_hw_context is necessary, and possible
in some limited cases.

To make this work we have to perform some gymnastics, as we did in these
commits:

  66eb579e ("perf: allow for PMU-specific event filtering")
  c904e32a ("arm: perf: filter unschedulable events")

To allow those systems to work, we must allow PMUs for heterogeneous
CPUs to share perf_hw_context, though we must still disallow sharing
otherwise to detect the common misuse of perf_hw_context.

This patch adds a new PERF_PMU_CAP_HETEROGENEOUS_CPUS for this, updates
the core logic to account for this, and makes use of it in the arm_pmu
code that is used for systems with heterogeneous CPUs. Comments are
added to make the rationale clear and hopefully avoid accidental abuse.

      perf/core: Introduce address range filtering · 375637bc
      由 Alexander Shishkin 提交于 
      Many instruction tracing PMUs out there support address range-based
filtering, which would, for example, generate trace data only for a
given range of instruction addresses, which is useful for tracing
individual functions, modules or libraries. Other PMUs may also
utilize this functionality to allow filtering to or filtering out
code at certain address ranges.

This patch introduces the interface for userspace to specify these
filters and for the PMU drivers to apply these filters to hardware
configuration.

The user interface is an ASCII string that is passed via an ioctl()
and specifies (in the form of an ASCII string) address ranges within
certain object files or within kernel. There is no special treatment
for kernel modules yet, but it might be a worthy pursuit.

The PMU driver interface basically adds two extra callbacks to the
PMU driver structure, one of which validates the filter configuration
proposed by the user against what the hardware is actually capable of
doing and the other one translates hardware-independent filter
configuration into something that can be programmed into the
hardware.

      perf core: Allow setting up max frame stack depth via sysctl · c5dfd78e
      由 Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 提交于 
      The default remains 127, which is good for most cases, and not even hit
most of the time, but then for some cases, as reported by Brendan, 1024+
deep frames are appearing on the radar for things like groovy, ruby.

And in some workloads putting a _lower_ cap on this may make sense. One
that is per event still needs to be put in place tho.

The new file is:

  # cat /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_stack
  127

Chaging it:

  # echo 256 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_stack
  # cat /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_stack
  256

But as soon as there is some event using callchains we get:

  # echo 512 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_stack
  -bash: echo: write error: Device or resource busy
  #

Because we only allocate the callchain percpu data structures when there
is a user, which allows for changing the max easily, its just a matter
of having no callchain users at that point.

      perf/core: Add ::write_backward attribute to perf event · 9ecda41a
      由 Wang Nan 提交于 
      This patch introduces 'write_backward' bit to perf_event_attr, which
controls the direction of a ring buffer. After set, the corresponding
ring buffer is written from end to beginning. This feature is design to
support reading from overwritable ring buffer.

Ring buffer can be created by mapping a perf event fd. Kernel puts event
records into ring buffer, user tooling like perf fetch them from
address returned by mmap(). To prevent racing between kernel and tooling,
they communicate to each other through 'head' and 'tail' pointers.
Kernel maintains 'head' pointer, points it to the next free area (tail
of the last record). Tooling maintains 'tail' pointer, points it to the
tail of last consumed record (record has already been fetched). Kernel
determines the available space in a ring buffer using these two
pointers to avoid overwrite unfetched records.

By mapping without 'PROT_WRITE', an overwritable ring buffer is created.
Different from normal ring buffer, tooling is unable to maintain 'tail'
pointer because writing is forbidden. Therefore, for this type of ring
buffers, kernel overwrite old records unconditionally, works like flight
recorder. This feature would be useful if reading from overwritable ring
buffer were as easy as reading from normal ring buffer. However,
there's an obscure problem.

The following figure demonstrates a full overwritable ring buffer. In
this figure, the 'head' pointer points to the end of last record, and a
long record 'E' is pending. For a normal ring buffer, a 'tail' pointer
would have pointed to position (X), so kernel knows there's no more
space in the ring buffer. However, for an overwritable ring buffer,
kernel ignore the 'tail' pointer.

   (X)                              head
    .                                |
    .                                V
    +------+-------+----------+------+---+
    |A....A|B.....B|C........C|D....D|   |
    +------+-------+----------+------+---+

Record 'A' is overwritten by event 'E':

      head
       |
       V
    +--+---+-------+----------+------+---+
    |.E|..A|B.....B|C........C|D....D|E..|
    +--+---+-------+----------+------+---+

Now tooling decides to read from this ring buffer. However, none of these
two natural positions, 'head' and the start of this ring buffer, are
pointing to the head of a record. Even the full ring buffer can be
accessed by tooling, it is unable to find a position to start decoding.

The first attempt tries to solve this problem AFAIK can be found from
[1]. It makes kernel to maintain 'tail' pointer: updates it when ring
buffer is half full. However, this approach introduces overhead to
fast path. Test result shows a 1% overhead [2]. In addition, this method
utilizes no more tham 50% records.

Another attempt can be found from [3], which allows putting the size of
an event at the end of each record. This approach allows tooling to find
records in a backward manner from 'head' pointer by reading size of a
record from its tail. However, because of alignment requirement, it
needs 8 bytes to record the size of a record, which is a huge waste. Its
performance is also not good, because more data need to be written.
This approach also introduces some extra branch instructions to fast
path.

'write_backward' is a better solution to this problem.

Following figure demonstrates the state of the overwritable ring buffer
when 'write_backward' is set before overwriting:

       head
        |
        V
    +---+------+----------+-------+------+
    |   |D....D|C........C|B.....B|A....A|
    +---+------+----------+-------+------+

and after overwriting:
                                     head
                                      |
                                      V
    +---+------+----------+-------+---+--+
    |..E|D....D|C........C|B.....B|A..|E.|
    +---+------+----------+-------+---+--+

In each situation, 'head' points to the beginning of the newest record.
From this record, tooling can iterate over the full ring buffer and fetch
records one by one.

The only limitation that needs to be considered is back-to-back reading.
Due to the non-deterministic of user programs, it is impossible to ensure
the ring buffer keeps stable during reading. Consider an extreme situation:
tooling is scheduled out after reading record 'D', then a burst of events
come, eat up the whole ring buffer (one or multiple rounds). When the
tooling process comes back, reading after 'D' is incorrect now.

To prevent this problem, we need to find a way to ensure the ring buffer
is stable during reading. ioctl(PERF_EVENT_IOC_PAUSE_OUTPUT) is
suggested because its overhead is lower than
ioctl(PERF_EVENT_IOC_ENABLE).

By carefully verifying 'header' pointer, reader can avoid pausing the
ring-buffer. For example:

    /* A union of all possible events */
    union perf_event event;

    p = head = perf_mmap__read_head();
    while (true) {
        /* copy header of next event */
        fetch(&event.header, p, sizeof(event.header));

        /* read 'head' pointer */
        head = perf_mmap__read_head();

        /* check overwritten: is the header good? */
        if (!verify(sizeof(event.header), p, head))
            break;

        /* copy the whole event */
        fetch(&event, p, event.header.size);

        /* read 'head' pointer again */
        head = perf_mmap__read_head();

        /* is the whole event good? */
        if (!verify(event.header.size, p, head))
            break;
        p += event.header.size;
    }

However, the overhead is high because:

 a) In-place decoding is not safe.
    Copying-verifying-decoding is required.
 b) Fetching 'head' pointer requires additional synchronization.

(From Alexei Starovoitov:

Even when this trick works, pause is needed for more than stability of
reading. When we collect the events into overwrite buffer we're waiting
for some other trigger (like all cpu utilization spike or just one cpu
running and all others are idle) and when it happens the buffer has
valuable info from the past. At this point new events are no longer
interesting and buffer should be paused, events read and unpaused until
next trigger comes.)

This patch utilizes event's default overflow_handler introduced
previously. perf_event_output_backward() is created as the default
overflow handler for backward ring buffers. To avoid extra overhead to
fast path, original perf_event_output() becomes __perf_event_output()
and marked '__always_inline'. In theory, there's no extra overhead
introduced to fast path.

Performance testing:

Calling 3000000 times of 'close(-1)', use gettimeofday() to check
duration.  Use 'perf record -o /dev/null -e raw_syscalls:*' to capture
system calls. In ns.

Testing environment:

  CPU    : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4790 CPU @ 3.60GHz
  Kernel : v4.5.0
                    MEAN         STDVAR
 BASE            800214.950    2853.083

 POST           2250896.100    8933.921

Where 'BASE' is pure performance without capturing. 'PRE1' is test
result of pure 'v4.5.0' kernel. 'PRE2' is test result before this
patch. 'POST' is test result after this patch. See [4] for the detailed
experimental setup.

Considering the stdvar, this patch doesn't introduce performance
overhead to the fast path.
