      perf/x86: Enable cycles:pp for Intel Atom · 673d188b
      由 Stephane Eranian 提交于 
      This patch updates the PEBS support for Intel Atom to provide
an alias for the cycles:pp event used by perf record/top by default
nowadays.

On Atom, only INST_RETIRED:ANY supports PEBS, so we use this event
instead with a large cmask to count cycles. Given that Core2 has
the same issue, we use the intel_pebs_aliases_core2() function for Atom
as well.

      perf/x86: fix PEBS issues on Intel Atom/Core2 · 1424a09a
      由 Stephane Eranian 提交于 
      This patch fixes broken PEBS support on Intel Atom and Core2
due to wrong pointer arithmetic in intel_pmu_drain_pebs_core().

The get_next_pebs_record_by_bit() was called on PEBS format fmt0
which does not use the pebs_record_nhm layout.

      perf/x86: Use INST_RETIRED.PREC_DIST for cycles: ppp · 72469764
      由 Andi Kleen 提交于 
      Add a new 'three-p' precise level, that uses INST_RETIRED.PREC_DIST as
base. The basic mechanism of abusing the inverse cmask to get all
cycles works the same as before.

PREC_DIST is available on Sandy Bridge or later. It had some problems
on Sandy Bridge, so we only use it on IvyBridge and later. I tested it
on Broadwell and Skylake.

PREC_DIST has special support for avoiding shadow effects, which can
give better results compare to UOPS_RETIRED. The drawback is that
PREC_DIST can only schedule on counter 1, but that is ok for cycle
sampling, as there is normally no need to do multiple cycle sampling
runs in parallel. It is still possible to run perf top in parallel, as
that doesn't use precise mode. Also of course the multiplexing can
still allow parallel operation.

:pp stays with the previous event.

Example:

Sample a loop with 10 sqrt with old cycles:pp

	  0.14 │10:   sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0     <--------------
	  9.13 │      sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0
	 11.58 │      sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0
	 11.51 │      sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0
	  6.27 │      sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0
	 10.38 │      sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0
	 12.20 │      sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0
	 12.74 │      sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0
	  5.40 │      sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0
	 10.14 │      sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0
	 10.51 │    ↑ jmp    10

We expect all 10 sqrt to get roughly the sample number of samples.

But you can see that the instruction directly after the JMP is
systematically underestimated in the result, due to sampling shadow
effects.

With the new PREC_DIST based sampling this problem is gone and all
instructions show up roughly evenly:

	  9.51 │10:   sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0
	 11.74 │      sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0
	 11.84 │      sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0
	  6.05 │      sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0
	 10.46 │      sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0
	 12.25 │      sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0
	 12.18 │      sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0
	  5.26 │      sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0
	 10.13 │      sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0
	 10.43 │      sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0
	  0.16 │    ↑ jmp    10

Even with PREC_DIST there is still sampling skid and the result is not
completely even, but systematic shadow effects are significantly
reduced.

The improvements are mainly expected to make a difference in high IPC
code. With low IPC it should be similar.

      perf/x86: Use INST_RETIRED.TOTAL_CYCLES_PS for cycles:pp for Skylake · 442f5c74
      由 Andi Kleen 提交于 
      I added UOPS_RETIRED.ALL by mistake to the Skylake PEBS event list for
cycles:pp. But the event is not documented for Skylake, and has some
issues.

The recommended replacement for cycles:pp is to use
INST_RETIRED.ANY+pebs as a base, similar to what CPUs before Sandy
Bridge did. This new event is called INST_RETIRED.TOTAL_CYCLES_PS. The
event is not really new, but has been already used by perf before
Sandy Bridge for the original cycles:p

Note the SDM doesn't document that event either, but it's being
documented in the latest version of the event list on:

  https://download.01.org/perfmon/SKL

This patch does:

 - Remove UOPS_RETIRED.ALL from the Skylake PEBS event list

 - Add INST_RETIRED.ANY to the Skylake PEBS event list, and an table entry to
   allow cmask=16,inv=1 for cycles:pp

 - We don't need an extra entry for the base INST_RETIRED event,
   because it is already covered by the catch-all PEBS table entry.

 - Switch Skylake to use the Core2 PEBS alias (which is
   INST_RETIRED.TOTAL_CYCLES_PS)

      Normally we drop PEBS events with a zero status field. But when
there is only a single PEBS event active we can assume the
PEBS record is for that event. The PEBS buffer is always flushed
when PEBS events are disabled, so there is no risk of mishandling
state PEBS records this way.

      The recent commit:

  75f80859 ("perf/x86/intel/pebs: Robustify PEBS buffer drain")

causes lots of warnings on different CPUs before Skylake
when running PEBS intensive workloads.

They can have a zero status field in the PEBS record when
PEBS is racing with clearing of GLOBAl_STATUS.

This also can cause hangs (it seems there are still
problems with printk in NMI).

Disable the warning, but still ignore the record.

      perf/x86/intel/ds: Work around BTS leaking kernel addresses · a09d31f4
      由 Alexander Shishkin 提交于 
      BTS leaks kernel addresses even in userspace-only mode due to imprecise IP
sampling, so sometimes syscall entry points or page fault handler addresses
end up in a userspace trace.

Since this driver uses a relatively small buffer for BTS records and it has
to iterate through them anyway, it can also take on the additional job of
filtering out the records that contain kernel addresses when kernel space
tracing is not enabled.

This patch changes the bts code to skip the offending records from perf
output. In order to request the exact amount of space on the ring buffer,
we need to do an extra pass through the records to know how many there are
of the valid ones, but considering the small size of the buffer, this extra
pass adds very little overhead to the nmi handler. This way we won't end
up with awkward IP samples with zero IPs in the perf stream.

      perf/x86/intel: Implement batched PEBS interrupt handling (large PEBS interrupt threshold) · 3569c0d7
      由 Yan, Zheng 提交于 
      PEBS always had the capability to log samples to its buffers without
an interrupt. Traditionally perf has not used this but always set the
PEBS threshold to one.

For frequently occurring events (like cycles or branches or load/store)
this in term requires using a relatively high sampling period to avoid
overloading the system, by only processing PMIs. This in term increases
sampling error.

For the common cases we still need to use the PMI because the PEBS
hardware has various limitations. The biggest one is that it can not
supply a callgraph. It also requires setting a fixed period, as the
hardware does not support adaptive period. Another issue is that it
cannot supply a time stamp and some other options. To supply a TID it
requires flushing on context switch. It can however supply the IP, the
load/store address, TSX information, registers, and some other things.

So we can make PEBS work for some specific cases, basically as long as
you can do without a callgraph and can set the period you can use this
new PEBS mode.

The main benefit is the ability to support much lower sampling period
(down to -c 1000) without extensive overhead.

One use cases is for example to increase the resolution of the c2c tool.
Another is double checking when you suspect the standard sampling has
too much sampling error.

Some numbers on the overhead, using cycle soak, comparing the elapsed
time from "kernbench -M -H" between plain (threshold set to one) and
multi (large threshold).

The test command for plain:
  "perf record --time -e cycles:p -c $period -- kernbench -M -H"

The test command for multi:
  "perf record --no-time -e cycles:p -c $period -- kernbench -M -H"

( The only difference of test command between multi and plain is time
  stamp options. Since time stamp is not supported by large PEBS
  threshold, it can be used as a flag to indicate if large threshold is
  enabled during the test. )

	period    plain(Sec)  multi(Sec)  Delta
	10003     32.7        16.5        16.2
	20003     30.2        16.2        14.0
	40003     18.6        14.1        4.5
	80003     16.8        14.6        2.2
	100003    16.9        14.1        2.8
	800003    15.4        15.7        -0.3
	1000003   15.3        15.2        0.2
	2000003   15.3        15.1        0.1

With periods below 100003, plain (threshold one) cause much more
overhead. With 10003 sampling period, the Elapsed Time for multi is
even 2X faster than plain.

      perf/x86/intel: Handle multiple records in the PEBS buffer · 21509084
      由 Yan, Zheng 提交于 
      When the PEBS interrupt threshold is larger than one record and the
machine supports multiple PEBS events, the records of these events are
mixed up and we need to demultiplex them.

Demuxing the records is hard because the hardware is deficient. The
hardware has two issues that, when combined, create impossible
scenarios to demux.

The first issue is that the 'status' field of the PEBS record is a copy
of the GLOBAL_STATUS MSR at PEBS assist time. To see why this is a
problem let us first describe the regular PEBS cycle:

A) the CTRn value reaches 0:
  - the corresponding bit in GLOBAL_STATUS gets set
  - we start arming the hardware assist
  < some unspecified amount of time later -- this could cover multiple
    events of interest >

B) the hardware assist is armed, any next event will trigger it

C) a matching event happens:
  - the hardware assist triggers and generates a PEBS record
    this includes a copy of GLOBAL_STATUS at this moment
  - if we auto-reload we (re)set CTRn
  - we clear the relevant bit in GLOBAL_STATUS

Now consider the following chain of events:

  A0, B0, A1, C0

The event generated for counter 0 will include a status with counter 1
set, even though its not at all related to the record. A similar thing
can happen with a !PEBS event if it just happens to overflow at the
right moment.

The second issue is that the hardware will only emit one record for two
or more counters if the event that triggers the assist is 'close'. The
'close' can be several cycles. In some cases even the complete assist,
if the event is something that doesn't need retirement.

For instance, consider this chain of events:

  A0, B0, A1, B1, C01

Where C01 is an event that triggers both hardware assists, we will
generate but a single record, but again with both counters listed in the
status field.

This time the record pertains to both events.

Note that these two cases are different but undistinguishable with the
data as generated. Therefore demuxing records with multiple PEBS bits
(we can safely ignore status bits for !PEBS counters) is impossible.

Furthermore we cannot emit the record to both events because that might
cause a data leak -- the events might not have the same privileges -- so
what this patch does is discard such events.

The assumption/hope is that such discards will be rare.

Here lists some possible ways you may get high discard rate.

  - when you count the same thing multiple times. But it is not a useful
    configuration.
  - you can be unfortunate if you measure with a userspace only PEBS
    event along with either a kernel or unrestricted PEBS event. Imagine
    the event triggering and setting the overflow flag right before
    entering the kernel. Then all kernel side events will end up with
    multiple bits set.

      perf/x86/intel: Use the PEBS auto reload mechanism when possible · 851559e3
      由 Yan, Zheng 提交于 
      When a fixed period is specified, this patch makes perf use the PEBS
auto reload mechanism. This makes normal profiling faster, because
it avoids one costly MSR write in the PMI handler.

However, the reset value will be loaded by hardware assist. There is a
small delay compared to the previous non-auto-reload mechanism. The
delay time is arbitrary, but very small. The assist cost is 400-800
cycles, assuming common cases with everything cached. The minimum period
the patch currently uses is 10000. In that extreme case it can be ~10%
if cycles are used.

      perf/x86: Fix event/group validation · b371b594
      由 Peter Zijlstra 提交于 
      Commit 43b45780 ("perf/x86: Reduce stack usage of
x86_schedule_events()") violated the rule that 'fake' scheduling; as
used for event/group validation; should not change the event state.

This went mostly un-noticed because repeated calls of
x86_pmu::get_event_constraints() would give the same result. And
x86_pmu::put_event_constraints() would mostly not do anything.

Commit e979121b ("perf/x86/intel: Implement cross-HT corruption
bug workaround") made the situation much worse by actually setting the
event->hw.constraint value to NULL, so when validation and actual
scheduling interact we get NULL ptr derefs.

Fix it by removing the constraint pointer from the event and move it
back to an array, this time in cpuc instead of on the stack.

validate_group()
  x86_schedule_events()
    event->hw.constraint = c; # store

      <context switch>
        perf_task_event_sched_in()
          ...
            x86_schedule_events();
              event->hw.constraint = c2; # store

              ...

              put_event_constraints(event); # assume failure to schedule
                intel_put_event_constraints()
                  event->hw.constraint = NULL;

      <context switch end>

    c = event->hw.constraint; # read -> NULL

    if (!test_bit(hwc->idx, c->idxmsk)) # <- *BOOM* NULL deref

This in particular is possible when the event in question is a
cpu-wide event and group-leader, where the validate_group() tries to
add an event to the group.

      x86: Remove arbitrary instruction size limit in instruction decoder · 6ba48ff4
      由 Dave Hansen 提交于 
      The current x86 instruction decoder steps along through the
instruction stream but always ensures that it never steps farther
than the largest possible instruction size (MAX_INSN_SIZE).

The MPX code is now going to be doing some decoding of userspace
instructions.  We copy those from userspace in to the kernel and
they're obviously completely untrusted coming from userspace.  In
addition to the constraint that instructions can only be so long,
we also have to be aware of how long the buffer is that came in
from userspace.  This _looks_ to be similar to what the perf and
kprobes is doing, but it's unclear to me whether they are
affected.

The whole reason we need this is that it is perfectly valid to be
executing an instruction within MAX_INSN_SIZE bytes of an
unreadable page. We should be able to gracefully handle short
reads in those cases.

This adds support to the decoder to record how long the buffer
being decoded is and to refuse to "validate" the instruction if
we would have gone over the end of the buffer to decode it.

The kprobes code probably needs to be looked at here a bit more
carefully.  This patch still respects the MAX_INSN_SIZE limit
there but the kprobes code does look like it might be able to
be a bit more strict than it currently is.

      x86: Replace __get_cpu_var uses · 89cbc767
      由 Christoph Lameter 提交于 
      __get_cpu_var() is used for multiple purposes in the kernel source. One of
them is address calculation via the form &__get_cpu_var(x).  This calculates
the address for the instance of the percpu variable of the current processor
based on an offset.

Other use cases are for storing and retrieving data from the current
processors percpu area.  __get_cpu_var() can be used as an lvalue when
writing data or on the right side of an assignment.

__get_cpu_var() is defined as :

#define __get_cpu_var(var) (*this_cpu_ptr(&(var)))

__get_cpu_var() always only does an address determination. However, store
and retrieve operations could use a segment prefix (or global register on
other platforms) to avoid the address calculation.

this_cpu_write() and this_cpu_read() can directly take an offset into a
percpu area and use optimized assembly code to read and write per cpu
variables.

This patch converts __get_cpu_var into either an explicit address
calculation using this_cpu_ptr() or into a use of this_cpu operations that
use the offset.  Thereby address calculations are avoided and less registers
are used when code is generated.

Transformations done to __get_cpu_var()

1. Determine the address of the percpu instance of the current processor.

	DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
	int *x = &__get_cpu_var(y);

    Converts to

	int *x = this_cpu_ptr(&y);

2. Same as #1 but this time an array structure is involved.

	DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y[20]);
	int *x = __get_cpu_var(y);

    Converts to

	int *x = this_cpu_ptr(y);

3. Retrieve the content of the current processors instance of a per cpu
variable.

	DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
	int x = __get_cpu_var(y)

   Converts to

	int x = __this_cpu_read(y);

4. Retrieve the content of a percpu struct

	DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct mystruct, y);
	struct mystruct x = __get_cpu_var(y);

   Converts to

	memcpy(&x, this_cpu_ptr(&y), sizeof(x));

5. Assignment to a per cpu variable

	DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y)
	__get_cpu_var(y) = x;

   Converts to

	__this_cpu_write(y, x);

6. Increment/Decrement etc of a per cpu variable

	DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
	__get_cpu_var(y)++

   Converts to

	__this_cpu_inc(y)

      perf/x86: Don't mark DataLA addresses as store · f3908b8c
      由 Andi Kleen 提交于 
      Haswell supports reporting the data address for a range
of PEBS events, including:

	UOPS_RETIRED.ALL
	MEM_UOPS_RETIRED.STLB_MISS_LOADS
	MEM_UOPS_RETIRED.STLB_MISS_STORES
	MEM_UOPS_RETIRED.LOCK_LOADS
	MEM_UOPS_RETIRED.SPLIT_LOADS
	MEM_UOPS_RETIRED.SPLIT_STORES
	MEM_UOPS_RETIRED.ALL_LOADS
	MEM_UOPS_RETIRED.ALL_STORES
	MEM_LOAD_UOPS_RETIRED.L1_HIT
	MEM_LOAD_UOPS_RETIRED.L2_HIT
	MEM_LOAD_UOPS_RETIRED.L3_HIT
	MEM_LOAD_UOPS_RETIRED.L1_MISS
	MEM_LOAD_UOPS_RETIRED.L2_MISS
	MEM_LOAD_UOPS_RETIRED.L3_MISS
	MEM_LOAD_UOPS_RETIRED.HIT_LFB
	MEM_LOAD_UOPS_L3_HIT_RETIRED.XSNP_MISS
	MEM_LOAD_UOPS_L3_HIT_RETIRED.XSNP_HIT
	MEM_LOAD_UOPS_L3_HIT_RETIRED.XSNP_HITM
	MEM_LOAD_UOPS_L3_HIT_RETIRED.XSNP_NONE
	MEM_LOAD_UOPS_L3_MISS_RETIRED.LOCAL_DRAM

This facility was already enabled earlier with the original Haswell
perf changes.

However these addresses were always reports as stores by perf, which is wrong,
as they could be loads too.  The hardware does not distinguish loads and stores
for these instructions, so there's no (cheap) way for the profiler
to find out.

Change the type to PERF_MEM_OP_NA instead.

      perf/x86: Revamp PEBS event selection · 86a04461
      由 Andi Kleen 提交于 
      The basic idea is that it does not make sense to list all PEBS
events individually. The list is very long, sometimes outdated
and the hardware doesn't need it. If an event does not support
PEBS it will just not count, there is no security issue.

We need to only list events that something special, like
supporting load or store addresses.

This vastly simplifies the PEBS event selection. It also
speeds up the scheduling because the scheduler doesn't
have to walk as many constraints.

Bugs fixed:

 - We do not allow setting forbidden flags with PEBS anymore
   (SDM 18.9.4), except for the special cycle event.
   This is done using a new constraint macro that also
   matches on the event flags.

 - Correct DataLA and load/store/na flags reporting on Haswell
   [Requires a followon patch]

 - We did not allow all PEBS events on Haswell:
   We were missing some valid subevents in d1-d2 (MEM_LOAD_UOPS_RETIRED.*,
   MEM_LOAD_UOPS_RETIRED_L3_HIT_RETIRED.*)

This includes the changes proposed by Stephane earlier and obsoletes
his patchkit (except for some changes on pre Sandy Bridge/Silvermont
CPUs)

I only did Sandy Bridge and Silvermont and later so far, mostly because these
are the parts I could directly confirm the hardware behavior with hardware
architects. Also I do not believe the older CPUs have any
missing events in their PEBS list, so there's no pressing
need to change them.

I did not implement the flag proposed by Peter to allow
setting forbidden flags. If really needed this could
be implemented on to of this patch.

v2: Fix broken store events on SNB/IVB (Stephane Eranian)
v3: More fixes. Rename some arguments (Stephane Eranian)
v4: List most Haswell events individually again to report
memory operation type correctly.
Add new flags to describe load/store/na for datala.
Update description.
