      perf, hw_breakpoint: Fix crash in hw_breakpoint creation · d580ff86
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      hw_breakpoint creation needs to account stuff per-task to ensure there
      is always sufficient hardware resources to back these things due to
      ptrace.
      
      With the perf per pmu context changes the event initialization no
      longer has access to the event context, for the simple reason that we
      need to first find the pmu (result of initialization) before we can
      find the context.
      
      This makes hw_breakpoints unhappy, because it can no longer do per
      task accounting, cure this by frobbing a task pointer in the event::hw
      bits for now...

      Since we cannot de-construct the group (we rely on it to move the events), we

      irq_work: Add generic hardirq context callbacks · e360adbe
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      Provide a mechanism that allows running code in IRQ context. It is
      most useful for NMI code that needs to interact with the rest of the
      system -- like wakeup a task to drain buffers.
      
      Perf currently has such a mechanism, so extract that and provide it as
      a generic feature, independent of perf so that others may also
      benefit.
      
      The IRQ context callback is generated through self-IPIs where
      possible, or on architectures like powerpc the decrementer (the
      built-in timer facility) is set to generate an interrupt immediately.
      
      Architectures that don't have anything like this get to do with a
      callback from the timer tick. These architectures can call
      irq_work_run() at the tail of any IRQ handlers that might enqueue such
      work (like the perf IRQ handler) to avoid undue latencies in
      processing the work.

      perf_events: Fix transaction recovery in group_sched_in() · 8e5fc1a7
      Stephane Eranian 提交于
      The group_sched_in() function uses a transactional approach to schedule
      a group of events. In a group, either all events can be scheduled or
      none are. To schedule each event in, the function calls event_sched_in().
      In case of error, event_sched_out() is called on each event in the group.
      
      The problem is that event_sched_out() does not completely cancel the
      effects of event_sched_in(). Furthermore event_sched_out() changes the
      state of the event as if it had run which is not true is this particular
      case.
      
      Those inconsistencies impact time tracking fields and may lead to events
      in a group not all reporting the same time_enabled and time_running values.
      This is demonstrated with the example below:
      
      $ task -eunhalted_core_cycles,baclears,baclears -e unhalted_core_cycles,baclears,baclears sleep 5
      1946101 unhalted_core_cycles (32.85% scaling, ena=829181, run=556827)
        11423 baclears (32.85% scaling, ena=829181, run=556827)
         7671 baclears (0.00% scaling, ena=556827, run=556827)
      
      2250443 unhalted_core_cycles (57.83% scaling, ena=962822, run=405995)
        11705 baclears (57.83% scaling, ena=962822, run=405995)
        11705 baclears (57.83% scaling, ena=962822, run=405995)
      
      Notice that in the first group, the last baclears event does not
      report the same timings as its siblings.
      
      This issue comes from the fact that tstamp_stopped is updated
      by event_sched_out() as if the event had actually run.
      
      To solve the issue, we must ensure that, in case of error, there is
      no change in the event state whatsoever. That means timings must
      remain as they were when entering group_sched_in().
      
      To do this we defer updating tstamp_running until we know the
      transaction succeeded. Therefore, we have split event_sched_in()
      in two parts separating the update to tstamp_running.
      
      Similarly, in case of error, we do not want to update tstamp_stopped.
      Therefore, we have split event_sched_out() in two parts separating
      the update to tstamp_stopped.
      
      With this patch, we now get the following output:
      
      $ task -eunhalted_core_cycles,baclears,baclears -e unhalted_core_cycles,baclears,baclears sleep 5
      2492050 unhalted_core_cycles (71.75% scaling, ena=1093330, run=308841)
        11243 baclears (71.75% scaling, ena=1093330, run=308841)
        11243 baclears (71.75% scaling, ena=1093330, run=308841)
      
      1852746 unhalted_core_cycles (0.00% scaling, ena=784489, run=784489)
         9253 baclears (0.00% scaling, ena=784489, run=784489)
         9253 baclears (0.00% scaling, ena=784489, run=784489)
      
      Note that the uneven timing between groups is a side effect of
      the process spending most of its time sleeping, i.e., not enough
      event rotations (but that's a separate issue).

      perf_events: Fix bogus context time tracking · c530ccd9
      Stephane Eranian 提交于
      You can only call update_context_time() when the context
      is active, i.e., the thread it is attached to is still running.
      
      However, perf_event_read() can be called even when the context
      is inactive, e.g., user read() the counters. The call to
      update_context_time() must be conditioned on the status of
      the context, otherwise, bogus time_enabled, time_running may
      be returned. Here is an example on AMD64. The task program
      is an example from libpfm4. The -p prints deltas every 1s.
      
      $ task -p -e cpu_clk_unhalted sleep 5
          2,266,610 cpu_clk_unhalted (0.00% scaling, ena=2,158,982, run=2,158,982)
      	    0 cpu_clk_unhalted (0.00% scaling, ena=2,158,982, run=2,158,982)
      	    0 cpu_clk_unhalted (0.00% scaling, ena=2,158,982, run=2,158,982)
      	    0 cpu_clk_unhalted (0.00% scaling, ena=2,158,982, run=2,158,982)
      	    0 cpu_clk_unhalted (0.00% scaling, ena=2,158,982, run=2,158,982)
      5,242,358,071 cpu_clk_unhalted (99.95% scaling, ena=5,000,359,984, run=2,319,270)
      
      Whereas if you don't read deltas, e.g., no call to perf_event_read() until
      the process terminates:
      
      $ task -e cpu_clk_unhalted sleep 5
          2,497,783 cpu_clk_unhalted (0.00% scaling, ena=2,376,899, run=2,376,899)
      
      Notice that time_enable, time_running are bogus in the first example
      causing bogus scaling.
      
      This patch fixes the problem, by conditionally calling update_context_time()
      in perf_event_read().

      ftrace: Do not process kernel/trace/ftrace.o with C recordmcount program · 44475863
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      The file kernel/trace/ftrace.c references the mcount() call to
      convert the mcount() callers to nops. But because it references
      mcount(), the mcount() address is placed in the relocation table.
      
      The C version of recordmcount reads the relocation table of all
      object files, and it will add all references to mcount to the
      __mcount_loc table that is used to find the places that call mcount()
      and change the call to a nop. When recordmcount finds the mcount reference
      in kernel/trace/ftrace.o, it saves that location even though the code
      is not a call, but references mcount as data.
      
      On boot up, when all calls are converted to nops, the code has a safety
      check to determine what op code it is actually replacing before it
      replaces it. If that op code at the address does not match, then
      a warning is printed and the function tracer is disabled.
      
      The reference to mcount in ftrace.c, causes this warning to trigger,
      since the reference is not a call to mcount(). The ftrace.c file is
      not compiled with the -pg flag, so no calls to mcount() should be
      expected.
      
      This patch simply makes recordmcount.c skip the kernel/trace/ftrace.c
      file. This was the same solution used by the perl version of
      recordmcount.

      ftrace: Remove duplicate code for 64 and 32 bit in recordmcount.c · c28d5077
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      The elf reader for recordmcount.c had duplicate functions for both
      32 bit and 64 bit elf handling. This was due to the need of using
      the 32 and 64 bit elf structures.
      
      This patch consolidates the two by using macros to define the 32
      and 64 bit names in a recordmcount.h file, and then by just defining
      a RECORD_MCOUNT_64 macro and including recordmcount.h twice we
      create the funtions for both the 32 bit version as well as the
      64 bit version using one code source.

      ftrace/x86: Add support for C version of recordmcount · 72441cb1
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      This patch adds the support for the C version of recordmcount and
      compile times show ~ 12% improvement.
      
      After verifying this works, other archs can add:
      
       HAVE_C_MCOUNT_RECORD
      
      in its Kconfig and it will use the C version of recordmcount
      instead of the perl version.

      ftrace: Add C version of recordmcount compile time code · 81d3858d
      John Reiser 提交于
      Currently, the mcount callers are found with a perl script that does
      an objdump on every file in the kernel. This is a C version of that
      same code which should increase the performance time of compiling
      the kernel with dynamic ftrace enabled.

        changing the format to follow Linux coding style. ]

      x86: Barf when vmalloc and kmemcheck faults happen in NMI · ebc8827f
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      In x86, faults exit by executing the iret instruction, which then
      reenables NMIs if we faulted in NMI context. Then if a fault
      happens in NMI, another NMI can nest after the fault exits.
      
      But we don't yet support nested NMIs because we have only one NMI
      stack. To prevent from that, check that vmalloc and kmemcheck
      faults don't happen in this context. Most of the other kernel faults
      in NMIs can be more easily spotted by finding explicit
      copy_from,to_user() calls on review.
