      ftrace: use only 5 byte nops for x86 · 732f3ca7
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      Mathieu Desnoyers revealed a bug in the original code. The nop that is
      used to relpace the mcount caller can be a two part nop. This runs the
      risk where a process can be preempted after executing the first nop, but
      before the second part of the nop.
      
      The ftrace code calls kstop_machine to keep multiple CPUs from executing
      code that is being modified, but it does not protect against a task preempting
      in the middle of a two part nop.
      
      If the above preemption happens and the tracer is enabled, after the
      kstop_machine runs, all those nops will be calls to the trace function.
      If the preempted process that was preempted between the two nops is executed
      again, it will execute half of the call to the trace function, and this
      might crash the system.
      
      This patch instead uses what both the latest Intel and AMD spec suggests.
      That is the P6_NOP5 sequence of "0x0f 0x1f 0x44 0x00 0x00".
      
      Note, some older CPUs and QEMU might fault on this nop, so this nop
      is executed with fault handling first. If it detects a fault, it will then
      use the code "0x66 0x66 0x66 0x66 0x90". If that faults, it will then
      default to a simple "jmp 1f; .byte 0x00 0x00 0x00; 1:". The jmp is
      not optimal but will do if the first two can not be executed.
      
      TODO: Examine the cpuid to determine the nop to use.

      ftrace: x86 mcount stub · 0a37605c
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      x86 now sets up the mcount locations through the build and no longer
      needs to record the ip when the function is executed. This patch changes
      the initial mcount to simply return. There's no need to do any other work.
      If the ftrace start up test fails, the original mcount will be what everything
      will use, so having this as fast as possible is a good thing.

      ftrace: mcount call site on boot nops core · 68bf21aa
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      This is the infrastructure to the converting the mcount call sites
      recorded by the __mcount_loc section into nops on boot. It also allows
      for using these sites to enable tracing as normal. When the __mcount_loc
      section is used, the "ftraced" kernel thread is disabled.
      
      This uses the current infrastructure to record the mcount call sites
      as well as convert them to nops. The mcount function is kept as a stub
      on boot up and not converted to the ftrace_record_ip function. We use the
      ftrace_record_ip to only record from the table.
      
      This patch does not handle modules. That comes with a later patch.

      ftrace: create __mcount_loc section · 8da3821b
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      This patch creates a section in the kernel called "__mcount_loc".
      This will hold a list of pointers to the mcount relocation for
      each call site of mcount.
      
      For example:
      
      objdump -dr init/main.o
      [...]
      Disassembly of section .text:
      
      0000000000000000 <do_one_initcall>:
         0:   55                      push   %rbp
      [...]
      000000000000017b <init_post>:
       17b:   55                      push   %rbp
       17c:   48 89 e5                mov    %rsp,%rbp
       17f:   53                      push   %rbx
       180:   48 83 ec 08             sub    $0x8,%rsp
       184:   e8 00 00 00 00          callq  189 <init_post+0xe>
                              185: R_X86_64_PC32      mcount+0xfffffffffffffffc
      [...]
      
      We will add a section to point to each function call.
      
         .section __mcount_loc,"a",@progbits
      [...]
         .quad .text + 0x185
      [...]
      
      The offset to of the mcount call site in init_post is an offset from
      the start of the section, and not the start of the function init_post.
      The mcount relocation is at the call site 0x185 from the start of the
      .text section.
      
        .text + 0x185  == init_post + 0xa
      
      We need a way to add this __mcount_loc section in a way that we do not
      lose the relocations after final link.  The .text section here will
      be attached to all other .text sections after final link and the
      offsets will be meaningless.  We need to keep track of where these
      .text sections are.
      
      To do this, we use the start of the first function in the section.
      do_one_initcall.  We can make a tmp.s file with this function as a reference
      to the start of the .text section.
      
         .section __mcount_loc,"a",@progbits
      [...]
         .quad do_one_initcall + 0x185
      [...]
      
      Then we can compile the tmp.s into a tmp.o
      
        gcc -c tmp.s -o tmp.o
      
      And link it into back into main.o.
      
        ld -r main.o tmp.o -o tmp_main.o
        mv tmp_main.o main.o
      
      But we have a problem.  What happens if the first function in a section
      is not exported, and is a static function. The linker will not let
      the tmp.o use it.  This case exists in main.o as well.
      
      Disassembly of section .init.text:
      
      0000000000000000 <set_reset_devices>:
         0:   55                      push   %rbp
         1:   48 89 e5                mov    %rsp,%rbp
         4:   e8 00 00 00 00          callq  9 <set_reset_devices+0x9>
                              5: R_X86_64_PC32        mcount+0xfffffffffffffffc
      
      The first function in .init.text is a static function.
      
      00000000000000a8 t __setup_set_reset_devices
      000000000000105f t __setup_str_set_reset_devices
      0000000000000000 t set_reset_devices
      
      The lowercase 't' means that set_reset_devices is local and is not exported.
      If we simply try to link the tmp.o with the set_reset_devices we end
      up with two symbols: one local and one global.
      
       .section __mcount_loc,"a",@progbits
       .quad set_reset_devices + 0x10
      
      00000000000000a8 t __setup_set_reset_devices
      000000000000105f t __setup_str_set_reset_devices
      0000000000000000 t set_reset_devices
                       U set_reset_devices
      
      We still have an undefined reference to set_reset_devices, and if we try
      to compile the kernel, we will end up with an undefined reference to
      set_reset_devices, or even worst, it could be exported someplace else,
      and then we will have a reference to the wrong location.
      
      To handle this case, we make an intermediate step using objcopy.
      We convert set_reset_devices into a global exported symbol before linking
      it with tmp.o and set it back afterwards.
      
      00000000000000a8 t __setup_set_reset_devices
      000000000000105f t __setup_str_set_reset_devices
      0000000000000000 T set_reset_devices
      
      00000000000000a8 t __setup_set_reset_devices
      000000000000105f t __setup_str_set_reset_devices
      0000000000000000 T set_reset_devices
      
      00000000000000a8 t __setup_set_reset_devices
      000000000000105f t __setup_str_set_reset_devices
      0000000000000000 t set_reset_devices
      
      Now we have a section in main.o called __mcount_loc that we can place
      somewhere in the kernel using vmlinux.ld.S and access it to convert
      all these locations that call mcount into nops before starting SMP
      and thus, eliminating the need to do this with kstop_machine.
      
      Note, A well documented perl script (scripts/recordmcount.pl) is used
      to do all this in one location.

      tracing, sched: LTTng instrumentation - scheduler · 0a16b607
      Mathieu Desnoyers 提交于
      Instrument the scheduler activity (sched_switch, migration, wakeups,
      wait for a task, signal delivery) and process/thread
      creation/destruction (fork, exit, kthread stop). Actually, kthread
      creation is not instrumented in this patch because it is architecture
      dependent. It allows to connect tracers such as ftrace which detects
      scheduling latencies, good/bad scheduler decisions. Tools like LTTng can
      export this scheduler information along with instrumentation of the rest
      of the kernel activity to perform post-mortem analysis on the scheduler
      activity.
      
      About the performance impact of tracepoints (which is comparable to
      markers), even without immediate values optimizations, tests done by
      Hideo Aoki on ia64 show no regression. His test case was using hackbench
      on a kernel where scheduler instrumentation (about 5 events in code
      scheduler code) was added. See the "Tracepoints" patch header for
      performance result detail.
      
      Changelog :
      
      - Change instrumentation location and parameter to match ftrace
        instrumentation, previously done with kernel markers.

      tracing: Kernel Tracepoints · 97e1c18e
      Mathieu Desnoyers 提交于
      Implementation of kernel tracepoints. Inspired from the Linux Kernel
      Markers. Allows complete typing verification by declaring both tracing
      statement inline functions and probe registration/unregistration static
      inline functions within the same macro "DEFINE_TRACE". No format string
      is required. See the tracepoint Documentation and Samples patches for
      usage examples.
      
      Taken from the documentation patch :
      
      "A tracepoint placed in code provides a hook to call a function (probe)
      that you can provide at runtime. A tracepoint can be "on" (a probe is
      connected to it) or "off" (no probe is attached). When a tracepoint is
      "off" it has no effect, except for adding a tiny time penalty (checking
      a condition for a branch) and space penalty (adding a few bytes for the
      function call at the end of the instrumented function and adds a data
      structure in a separate section).  When a tracepoint is "on", the
      function you provide is called each time the tracepoint is executed, in
      the execution context of the caller. When the function provided ends its
      execution, it returns to the caller (continuing from the tracepoint
      site).
      
      You can put tracepoints at important locations in the code. They are
      lightweight hooks that can pass an arbitrary number of parameters, which
      prototypes are described in a tracepoint declaration placed in a header
      file."
      
      Addition and removal of tracepoints is synchronized by RCU using the
      scheduler (and preempt_disable) as guarantees to find a quiescent state
      (this is really RCU "classic"). The update side uses rcu_barrier_sched()
      with call_rcu_sched() and the read/execute side uses
      "preempt_disable()/preempt_enable()".
      
      We make sure the previous array containing probes, which has been
      scheduled for deletion by the rcu callback, is indeed freed before we
      proceed to the next update. It therefore limits the rate of modification
      of a single tracepoint to one update per RCU period. The objective here
      is to permit fast batch add/removal of probes on _different_
      tracepoints.
      
      Changelog :
      - Use #name ":" #proto as string to identify the tracepoint in the
        tracepoint table. This will make sure not type mismatch happens due to
        connexion of a probe with the wrong type to a tracepoint declared with
        the same name in a different header.
      - Add tracepoint_entry_free_old.
      - Change __TO_TRACE to get rid of the 'i' iterator.
      
      Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@redhat.com> :
      Tested on x86-64.
      
      Performance impact of a tracepoint : same as markers, except that it
      adds about 70 bytes of instructions in an unlikely branch of each
      instrumented function (the for loop, the stack setup and the function
      call). It currently adds a memory read, a test and a conditional branch
      at the instrumentation site (in the hot path). Immediate values will
      eventually change this into a load immediate, test and branch, which
      removes the memory read which will make the i-cache impact smaller
      (changing the memory read for a load immediate removes 3-4 bytes per
      site on x86_32 (depending on mov prefixes), or 7-8 bytes on x86_64, it
      also saves the d-cache hit).
      
      About the performance impact of tracepoints (which is comparable to
      markers), even without immediate values optimizations, tests done by
      Hideo Aoki on ia64 show no regression. His test case was using hackbench
      on a kernel where scheduler instrumentation (about 5 events in code
      scheduler code) was added.
      
      Quoting Hideo Aoki about Markers :
      
      I evaluated overhead of kernel marker using linux-2.6-sched-fixes git
      tree, which includes several markers for LTTng, using an ia64 server.
      
      While the immediate trace mark feature isn't implemented on ia64, there
      is no major performance regression. So, I think that we don't have any
      issues to propose merging marker point patches into Linus's tree from
      the viewpoint of performance impact.
      
      I prepared two kernels to evaluate. The first one was compiled without
      CONFIG_MARKERS. The second one was enabled CONFIG_MARKERS.
      
      I downloaded the original hackbench from the following URL:
      http://devresources.linux-foundation.org/craiger/hackbench/src/hackbench.c
      
      I ran hackbench 5 times in each condition and calculated the average and
      difference between the kernels.
      
          The parameter of hackbench: every 50 from 50 to 800
          The number of CPUs of the server: 2, 4, and 8
      
      Below is the results. As you can see, major performance regression
      wasn't found in any case. Even if number of processes increases,
      differences between marker-enabled kernel and marker- disabled kernel
      doesn't increase. Moreover, if number of CPUs increases, the differences
      doesn't increase either.
      
      Curiously, marker-enabled kernel is better than marker-disabled kernel
      in more than half cases, although I guess it comes from the difference
      of memory access pattern.

      tty: simplify ktermios allocation · fe6e29fd
      Alan Cox 提交于
      Copy the simplification from the pty unix98 special case to the generic one.
      This allows us to kill off driver->termios_locked entirely which is nice. We
      have to whack bits of the cris driver as it meddles in places it shouldn't
      providing its own arrays that were never used anyway.

      pty: Fix allocation failure double free · 335adde6
      Alan Cox 提交于
      The updating and moving around of the pty code added a bug where both the
      helper and caller free the main tty struct (the pty driver must free the
      o_tty pair itself however).

      Simplify devpts_pty_kill · a6f37daa
      Sukadev Bhattiprolu 提交于
      When creating a new pty, save the pty's inode in the tty->driver_data.
      Use this inode in pty_kill() to identify the devpts instance. Since
      we now have the inode for the pty, we can skip get_node() lookup and
      remove the unused get_node().

      	- check if the mutex_lock is needed in pty_kill().

      will not have an existing dentry or inode for the pty. So don't bother
      looking for an existing dentry - just create a new one.

      Add an instance parameter devpts interfaces · 15f1a633
      Sukadev Bhattiprolu 提交于
      Pass-in 'inode' or 'tty' parameter to devpts interfaces.  With multiple
      devpts instances, these parameters will be used in subsequent patches
      to identify the instance of devpts mounted. The parameters also help
      simplify devpts implementation.
      
      Changelog[v3]:
      	- minor changes due to merge with ttydev updates
      	- rename parameters to emphasize they are ptmx or pts inodes
      	- pass-in tty_struct * to devpts_pty_kill() (this will help
      	  cleanup the get_node() call in a subsequent patch)
