This patch adds PERF_SAMPLE_DATA_SRC. PERF_SAMPLE_DATA_SRC collects the data source, i.e., where did the data associated with the sampled instruction come from. Information is stored in a perf_mem_data_src structure. It contains opcode, mem level, tlb, snoop, lock information, subject to availability in hardware.

由 Andi Kleen 提交于
For some events it's useful to weight sample with a hardware provided number. This expresses how expensive the action the sample represent was. This allows the profiler to scale the samples to be more informative to the programmer. There is already the period which is used similarly, but it means something different, so I chose to not overload it. Instead a new sample type for WEIGHT is added. Can be used for multiple things. Initially it is used for TSX abort costs and profiling by memory latencies (so to make expensive load appear higher up in the histograms). The concept is quite generic and can be extended to many other kinds of events or architectures, as long as the hardware provides suitable auxillary values. In principle it could be also used for software tracepoints. This adds the generic glue. A new optional sample format for a 64-bit weight value.

This patch adds a flags field to each event constraint. It can be used to store event specific features which can then later be used by scheduling code or low-level x86 code. The flags are propagated into event->hw.flags during the get_event_constraint() call. They are cleared during the put_event_constraint() call. This mechanism is going to be used by the PEBS-LL patches. It avoids defining yet another table to hold event specific information.

This patch fixes a kernel crash when using precise sampling (PEBS) after a suspend/resume. Turns out the CPU notifier code is not invoked on CPU0 (BP). Therefore, the DS_AREA (used by PEBS) is not restored properly by the kernel and keeps it power-on/resume value of 0 causing any PEBS measurement to crash when running on CPU0. The workaround is to add a hook in the actual resume code to restore the DS Area MSR value. It is invoked for all CPUS. So for all but CPU0, the DS_AREA will be restored twice but this is harmless.

sys_perf_event_open()->perf_init_event(event) is called before find_get_context(event), this means that event->ctx == NULL when class->reg(TRACE_REG_PERF_REGISTER/OPEN) is called and thus it can't know if this event is per-task or system-wide. This patch adds hw_perf_event->tp_target for PERF_TYPE_TRACEPOINT, this is analogous to PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT/bp_target we already have. The patch also moves ->bp_target up so that it can overlap with the new member, this can help the compiler to generate the better code. trace_uprobe_register() will use it for prefiltering to avoid the unnecessary breakpoints in mm's we do not want to trace. ->tp_target doesn't have its own reference, but we can rely on the fact that either sys_perf_event_open() holds a reference, or it is equal to event->ctx->task. So this pointer is always valid until free_event(). Also add the "struct list_head tp_list" into this union. It is not strictly necessary, but it can simplify the next changes and we can add it for free. Signed-off-by: NOleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>

A few events are interesting not only for a current task. For example, sched_stat_* events are interesting for a task which wakes up. For this reason, it will be good if such events will be delivered to a target task too. Now a target task can be set by using __perf_task(). The original idea and a draft patch belongs to Peter Zijlstra. I need these events for profiling sleep times. sched_switch is used for getting callchains and sched_stat_* is used for getting time periods. These events are combined in user space, then it can be analyzed by perf tools.

The rdpmc instruction is faster than the equivelant rdmsr call, so use it when possible in the kernel. The perfctr kernel patches did this, after extensive testing showed rdpmc to always be faster (One can look in etc/costs in the perfctr-2.6 package to see a historical list of the overhead). I have done some tests on a 3.2 kernel, the kernel module I used was included in the first posting of this patch: rdmsr rdpmc Core2 T9900: 203.9 cycles 30.9 cycles AMD fam0fh: 56.2 cycles 9.8 cycles Atom 6/28/2: 129.7 cycles 50.6 cycles The speedup of using rdpmc is large.

We faced segmentation fault on perf top -G at very high sampling rate due to a corrupted callchain. While the root cause was not revealed (I failed to figure it out), this patch tries to protect us from the segfault on such cases.

This reverts commit cb04ff9a ("sched, perf: Use a single callback into the scheduler"). Before this change was introduced, the process switch worked like this (wrt. to perf event schedule): schedule (prev, next) - schedule out all perf events for prev - switch to next - schedule in all perf events for current (next) After the commit, the process switch looks like: schedule (prev, next) - schedule out all perf events for prev - schedule in all perf events for (next) - switch to next The problem is, that after we schedule perf events in, the pmu is enabled and we can receive events even before we make the switch to next - so "current" still being prev process (event SAMPLE data are filled based on the value of the "current" process). Thats exactly what we see for test__PERF_RECORD test. We receive SAMPLES with PID of the process that our tracee is scheduled from. Discussed with Peter Zijlstra: > Bah!, yeah I guess reverting is the right thing for now.

We can easily use a single callback for both sched-in and sched-out. This reduces the code footprint in the scheduler path as well as removes the PMU black spot otherwise present between the out and in callback.

We always need to pass the last sample period to perf_sample_data_init(), otherwise the event distribution will be wrong. Thus, modifiyng the function interface with the required period as argument. So basically a pattern like this: perf_sample_data_init(&data, ~0ULL); data.period = event->hw.last_period; will now be like that: perf_sample_data_init(&data, ~0ULL, event->hw.last_period); Avoids unininitialized data.period and simplifies code.

Complete the syscall-less self-profiling feature and address all complaints, namely: - capabilities, so we can detect what is actually available at runtime Add a capabilities field to perf_event_mmap_page to indicate what is actually available for use. - on x86: RDPMC weirdness due to being 40/48 bits and not sign-extending properly. - ABI documentation as to how all this stuff works. Also improve the documentation for the new features.

This patch adds reference sizes for revision 1 and 2 of the perf_event ABI, i.e., the size of the perf_event_attr struct. With Rev1: config2 was added = +8 bytes With Rev2: branch_sample_type was added = +8 bytes Adds the definition for Rev1, Rev2. This is useful for tools trying to decode the revision numbers based on the size of the struct.

With branch stack sampling, it is possible to filter by priv levels. In system-wide mode, that means it is possible to capture only user level branches. The builtin SW LBR filter needs to disassemble code based on LBR captured addresses. For that, it needs to know the task the addresses are associated with. Because of context switches, the content of the branch stack buffer may contain addresses from different tasks. We need a callback on context switch to either flush the branch stack or save it. This patch adds a new callback in struct pmu which is called during context switches. The callback is called only when necessary. That is when a system-wide context has, at least, one event which uses PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK. The callback is never called for per-thread context. In this version, the Intel x86 code simply flushes (resets) the LBR on context switches (fills it with zeroes). Those zeroed branches are then filtered out by the SW filter.

This patch adds the ability to sample taken branches to the perf_event interface. The ability to capture taken branches is very useful for all sorts of analysis. For instance, basic block profiling, call counts, statistical call graph. This new capability requires hardware assist and as such may not be available on all HW platforms. On Intel x86 it is implemented on top of the Last Branch Record (LBR) facility. To enable taken branches sampling, the PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK bit must be set in attr->sample_type. Sampled taken branches may be filtered by type and/or priv levels. The patch adds a new field, called branch_sample_type, to the perf_event_attr structure. It contains a bitmask of filters to apply to the sampled taken branches. Filters may be implemented in HW. If the HW filter does not exist or is not good enough, some arch may also implement a SW filter. The following generic filters are currently defined: - PERF_SAMPLE_USER only branches whose targets are at the user level - PERF_SAMPLE_KERNEL only branches whose targets are at the kernel level - PERF_SAMPLE_HV only branches whose targets are at the hypervisor level - PERF_SAMPLE_ANY any type of branches (subject to priv levels filters) - PERF_SAMPLE_ANY_CALL any call branches (may incl. syscall on some arch) - PERF_SAMPLE_ANY_RET any return branches (may incl. syscall returns on some arch) - PERF_SAMPLE_IND_CALL indirect call branches Obviously filter may be combined. The priv level bits are optional. If not provided, the priv level of the associated event are used. It is possible to collect branches at a priv level different from the associated event. Use of kernel, hv priv levels is subject to permissions and availability (hv). The number of taken branch records present in each sample may vary based on HW, the type of sampled branches, the executed code. Therefore each sample contains the number of taken branches it contains.

static keys: Introduce 'struct static_key', static_key_true()/false() and static_key_slow_[inc|dec]() So here's a boot tested patch on top of Jason's series that does all the cleanups I talked about and turns jump labels into a more intuitive to use facility. It should also address the various misconceptions and confusions that surround jump labels. Typical usage scenarios: #include <linux/static_key.h> struct static_key key = STATIC_KEY_INIT_TRUE; if (static_key_false(&key)) do unlikely code else do likely code Or: if (static_key_true(&key)) do likely code else do unlikely code The static key is modified via: static_key_slow_inc(&key); ... static_key_slow_dec(&key); The 'slow' prefix makes it abundantly clear that this is an expensive operation. I've updated all in-kernel code to use this everywhere. Note that I (intentionally) have not pushed through the rename blindly through to the lowest levels: the actual jump-label patching arch facility should be named like that, so we want to decouple jump labels from the static-key facility a bit. On non-jump-label enabled architectures static keys default to likely()/unlikely() branches.

Adding perf registration support for the ftrace function event, so it is now possible to register it via perf interface. The perf_event struct statically contains ftrace_ops as a handle for function tracer. The function tracer is registered/unregistered in open/close actions. To be efficient, we enable/disable ftrace_ops each time the traced process is scheduled in/out (via TRACE_REG_PERF_(ADD|DELL) handlers). This way tracing is enabled only when the process is running. Intentionally using this way instead of the event's hw state PERF_HES_STOPPED, which would not disable the ftrace_ops. It is now possible to use function trace within perf commands like: perf record -e ftrace:function ls perf stat -e ftrace:function ls Allowed only for root.

This patch fixes the sampling interrupt throttling mechanism. It was broken in v3.2. Events were not being unthrottled. The unthrottling mechanism required that events be checked at each timer tick. This patch solves this problem and also separates: - unthrottling - multiplexing - frequency-mode period adjustments Not all of them need to be executed at each timer tick. This third version of the patch is based on my original patch + PeterZ proposal (https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/7/87). At each timer tick, for each context: - if the current CPU has throttled events, we unthrottle events - if context has frequency-based events, we adjust sampling periods - if we have reached the jiffies interval, we multiplex (rotate) We decoupled rotation (multiplexing) from frequency-mode sampling period adjustments. They should not necessarily happen at the same rate. Multiplexing is subject to jiffies_interval (currently at 1 but could be higher once the tunable is exposed via sysfs). We have grouped frequency-mode adjustment and unthrottling into the same routine to minimize code duplication. When throttled while in frequency mode, we scan the events only once. We have fixed the threshold enforcement code in __perf_event_overflow(). There was a bug whereby it would allow more than the authorized rate because an increment of hwc->interrupts was not executed at the right place. The patch was tested with low sampling limit (2000) and fixed periods, frequency mode, overcommitted PMU. On a 2.1GHz AMD CPU: $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate 2000 We set a rate of 3000 samples/sec (2.1GHz/3000 = 700000): $ perf record -e cycles,cycles -c 700000 noploop 10 $ perf report -D | tail -21 Aggregated stats: TOTAL events: 80086 MMAP events: 88 COMM events: 2 EXIT events: 4 THROTTLE events: 19996 UNTHROTTLE events: 19996 SAMPLE events: 40000 cycles stats: TOTAL events: 40006 MMAP events: 5 COMM events: 1 EXIT events: 4 THROTTLE events: 9998 UNTHROTTLE events: 9998 SAMPLE events: 20000 cycles stats: TOTAL events: 39996 THROTTLE events: 9998 UNTHROTTLE events: 9998 SAMPLE events: 20000 For 10s, the cap is 2x2000x10 = 40000 samples. We get exactly that: 20000 samples/event.
