On Intel Westmere, a cmdline as follows: $ perf record -e cpu/event=0xc4,umask=0x2,name=br_inst_retired.near_call/p .... was failing. Yet the event+ umask support PEBS. It turns out this is due to a bug in the the PEBS event constraint table for westmere. All forms of BR_INST_RETIRED.* support PEBS. Therefore the constraint mask should ignore the umask. The name of the macro INTEL_FLAGS_EVENT_CONSTRAINT() hint that this is the case but it was not. That macros was checking both the event code and event umask. Therefore, it was only matching on 0x00c4. There are code+umask macros, they all have *UEVENT*. This bug fixes the issue by checking only the event code in the mask. Both single and range version are modified.

Add Icelake core PMU perf code, including constraint tables and the main enable code. Icelake expanded the generic counters to always 8 even with HT on, but a range of events cannot be scheduled on the extra 4 counters. Add new constraint ranges to describe this to the scheduler. The number of constraints that need to be checked is larger now than with earlier CPUs. At some point we may need a new data structure to look them up more efficiently than with linear search. So far it still seems to be acceptable however. Icelake added a new fixed counter SLOTS. Full support for it is added later in the patch series. The cache events table is identical to Skylake. Compare to PEBS instruction event on generic counter, fixed counter 0 has less skid. Force instruction:ppp always in fixed counter 0.

Icelake extended the general counters to 8, even when SMT is enabled. However only a (large) subset of the events can be used on all 8 counters. The events that can or cannot be used on all counters are organized in ranges. A lot of scheduler constraints are required to handle all this. To avoid blowing up the tables add event code ranges to the constraint tables, and a new inline function to match them.

With adaptive PEBS the CPU can directly supply the LBR information, so we don't need to read it again. But the LBRs still need to be enabled.

Adaptive PEBS is a new way to report PEBS sampling information. Instead of a fixed size record for all PEBS events it allows to configure the PEBS record to only include the information needed. Events can then opt in to use such an extended record, or stay with a basic record which only contains the IP. The major new feature is to support LBRs in PEBS record. Besides normal LBR, this allows (much faster) large PEBS, while still supporting callstacks through callstack LBR. So essentially a lot of profiling can now be done without frequent interrupts, dropping the overhead significantly. The main requirement still is to use a period, and not use frequency mode, because frequency mode requires reevaluating the frequency on each overflow. The floating point state (XMM) is also supported, which allows efficient profiling of FP function arguments. Introduce specific drain function to handle variable length records. Use a new callback to parse the new record format, and also handle the STATUS field now being at a different offset. Add code to set up the configuration register. Since there is only a single register, all events either get the full super set of all events, or only the basic record.

Starting from Icelake, XMM registers can be collected in PEBS record. But current code only output the pt_regs. Add a new struct x86_perf_regs for both pt_regs and xmm_regs. The xmm_regs will be used later to keep a pointer to PEBS record which has XMM information. XMM registers are 128 bit. To simplify the code, they are handled like two different registers, which means setting two bits in the register bitmap. This also allows only sampling the lower 64bit bits in XMM. The index of XMM registers starts from 32. There are 16 XMM registers. So all reserved space for regs are used. Remove REG_RESERVED. Add PERF_REG_X86_XMM_MAX, which stands for the max number of all x86 regs including both GPRs and XMM. Add REG_NOSUPPORT for 32bit to exclude unsupported registers. Previous platforms can not collect XMM information in PEBS record. Adding pebs_no_xmm_regs to indicate the unsupported platforms. The common code still validates the supported registers. However, it cannot check model specific registers, e.g. XMM. Add extra check in x86_pmu_hw_config() to reject invalid config of regs_user and regs_intr. The regs_user never supports XMM collection. The regs_intr only supports XMM collection when sampling PEBS event on icelake and later platforms.

The flag PERF_X86_EVENT_COMMITTED is used to find uncommitted events for which to call put_event_constraint() when scheduling fails. These are the newly added events to the list, and must form, per definition, the tail of cpuc->event_list[]. By computing the list index of the last successfull schedule, then iteration can start there and the flag is redundant. There are only 3 callers of x86_schedule_events(), notably: - x86_pmu_add() - x86_pmu_commit_txn() - validate_group() For x86_pmu_add(), cpuc->n_events isn't updated until after schedule_events() succeeds, therefore cpuc->n_events points to the desired index. For x86_pmu_commit_txn(), cpuc->n_events is updated, but we can trivially compute the desired value with cpuc->n_txn -- the number of events added in this transaction. For validate_group(), we can make the rule for x86_pmu_add() work by simply setting cpuc->n_events to 0 before calling schedule_events().

Skylake (and later) will receive a microcode update to address a TSX errata. This microcode will, on execution of a TSX instruction (speculative or not) use (clobber) PMC3. This update will also provide a new MSR to change this behaviour along with a CPUID bit to enumerate the presence of this new MSR. When the MSR gets set; the microcode will no longer use PMC3 but will Force Abort every TSX transaction (upon executing COMMIT). When TSX Force Abort (TFA) is allowed (default); the MSR gets set when PMC3 gets scheduled and cleared when, after scheduling, PMC3 is unused. When TFA is not allowed; clear PMC3 from all constraints such that it will not get used.

Following sequence will cause the crash: If we create an 'almost' BTS event with precise_ip and callchains, and it into a BTS event it will crash the perf_prepare_sample() function because precise_ip events are expected to come in with callchain data initialized, but that's not the case for intel_pmu_drain_bts_buffer() caller. Adding a check_period callback to be called before the period is changed via PERF_EVENT_IOC_PERIOD. It will deny the change if the event would become BTS.

KVM added a workaround for PEBS events leaking into guests with commit: 26a4f3c0 ("perf/x86: disable PEBS on a guest entry.") This uses the VT entry/exit list to add an extra disable of the PEBS_ENABLE MSR. Intel also added a fix for this issue to microcode updates on Haswell/Broadwell/Skylake. It turns out using the MSR entry/exit list makes VM exits significantly slower. The list is only needed for disabling PEBS, because the GLOBAL_CTRL change gets optimized by KVM into changing the VMCS. Check for the microcode updates that have the microcode fix for leaking PEBS, and disable the extra entry/exit list entry for PEBS_ENABLE. In addition we always clear the GLOBAL_CTRL for the PEBS counter while running in the guest, which is enough to make them never fire at the wrong side of the host/guest transition. The overhead for VM exits with the filtering active with the patch is reduced from 8% to 4%. The microcode patch has already been merged into future platforms. This patch is one-off thing. The quirks is used here. For other old platforms which doesn't have microcode patch and quirks, extra disable of the PEBS_ENABLE MSR is still required.

Currently we check the branch tracing only by checking for the PERF_COUNT_HW_BRANCH_INSTRUCTIONS event of PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE type. But we can define the same event with the PERF_TYPE_RAW type. Changing the intel_pmu_has_bts() code to check on event's final hw config value, so both HW types are covered. Adding unlikely to intel_pmu_has_bts() condition calls, because it was used in the original code in intel_bts_constraints.

Implements counter freezing for Arch Perfmon v4 (Skylake and newer). This allows to speed up the PMI handler by avoiding unnecessary MSR writes and make it more accurate. The Arch Perfmon v4 PMI handler is substantially different than the older PMI handler. Differences to the old handler: - It relies on counter freezing, which eliminates several MSR writes from the PMI handler and lowers the overhead significantly. It makes the PMI handler more accurate, as all counters get frozen atomically as soon as any counter overflows. So there is much less counting of the PMI handler itself. With the freezing we don't need to disable or enable counters or PEBS. Only BTS which does not support auto-freezing still needs to be explicitly managed. - The PMU acking is done at the end, not the beginning. This makes it possible to avoid manual enabling/disabling of the PMU, instead we just rely on the freezing/acking. - The APIC is acked before reenabling the PMU, which avoids problems with LBRs occasionally not getting unfreezed on Skylake. - Looping is only needed to workaround a corner case which several PMIs are very close to each other. For common cases, the counters are freezed during PMI handler. It doesn't need to do re-check. This patch: - Adds code to enable v4 counter freezing - Fork <=v3 and >=v4 PMI handlers into separate functions. - Add kernel parameter to disable counter freezing. It took some time to debug counter freezing, so in case there are new problems we added an option to turn it off. Would not expect this to be used until there are new bugs. - Only for big core. The patch for small core will be posted later separately. Performance: When profiling a kernel build on Kabylake with different perf options, measuring the length of all NMI handlers using the nmi handler trace point: V3 is without counter freezing. V4 is with counter freezing. The value is the average cost of the PMI handler.

Context switches with perf LBR call stack context are fairly expensive because they do a lot of MSR writes. Currently we unconditionally do the expensive operation when LBR call stack is enabled. It's not necessary for some common cases, e.g task -> other kernel thread -> same task. The LBR registers are not changed, hence they don't need to be rewritten/restored. Introduce per-CPU variables to track the last LBR call stack context. If the same context is scheduled in, the rewrite/restore is not required, with the following two exceptions: - The LBR registers may be modified by a normal LBR event, i.e., adding a new LBR event or scheduling an existing LBR event. In both cases, the LBR registers are reset first. The last LBR call stack information is cleared in intel_pmu_lbr_reset(). Restoring the LBR registers is required. - The LBR registers are initialized to zero in C6. If the LBR registers which TOS points is cleared, C6 must be entered while swapped out. Restoring the LBR registers is required as well. These exceptions are not common.

LBR has a limited stack size. If a task has a deeper call stack than LBR's stack size, only the overflowed part is reported. A complete call stack may not be reconstructed by perf tool. Current code doesn't access all LBR registers. It only read the ones below the TOS. The LBR registers above the TOS will be discarded unconditionally. When a CALL is captured, the TOS is incremented by 1 , modulo max LBR stack size. The LBR HW only records the call stack information to the register which the TOS points to. It will not touch other LBR registers. So the registers above the TOS probably still store the valid call stack information for an overflowed call stack, which need to be reported. To retrieve complete call stack information, we need to start from TOS, read all LBR registers until an invalid entry is detected. 0s can be used to detect the invalid entry, because: - When a RET is captured, the HW zeros the LBR register which TOS points to, then decreases the TOS. - The LBR registers are reset to 0 when adding a new LBR event or scheduling an existing LBR event. - A taken branch at IP 0 is not expected The context switch code is also modified to save/restore all valid LBR registers. Furthermore, the LBR registers, which don't have valid call stack information, need to be reset in restore, because they may be polluted while swapped out. Here is a small test program, tchain_deep. Its call stack is deeper than 32. noinline void f33(void) { int i; for (i = 0; i < 10000000;) { if (i%2) i++; else i++; } } noinline void f32(void) { f33(); } noinline void f31(void) { f32(); } ... ... noinline void f1(void) { f2(); } int main() { f1(); } Here is the test result on SKX.

Large fixed period values could be truncated on Broadwell, for example: perf record -e cycles -c 10000000000 Here the fixed period is 0x2540BE400, but the period which finally applied is 0x540BE400 - which is wrong. The reason is that x86_pmu::limit_period() uses an u32 parameter, so the high 32 bits of 'period' get truncated. This bug was introduced in: commit 294fe0f5 ("perf/x86/intel: Add INST_RETIRED.ALL workarounds") It's safe to use u64 instead of u32: - Although the 'left' is s64, the value of 'left' must be positive when calling limit_period(). - bdw_limit_period() only modifies the lowest 6 bits, it doesn't touch the higher 32 bits.

The BTS and PEBS buffers both have their virtual addresses programmed into the hardware. This means that any access to them is performed via the page tables. The times that the hardware accesses these are entirely dependent on how the performance monitoring hardware events are set up. In other words, there is no way for the kernel to tell when the hardware might access these buffers. To avoid perf crashes, place 'debug_store' allocate pages and map them into the cpu_entry_area. The PEBS fixup buffer does not need this treatment.

The Intel PEBS/BTS debug store is a design trainwreck as it expects virtual addresses which must be visible in any execution context. So it is required to make these mappings visible to user space when kernel page table isolation is active. Provide enough room for the buffer mappings in the cpu_entry_area so the buffers are available in the user space visible page tables. At the point where the kernel side entry area is populated there is no buffer available yet, but the kernel PMD must be populated. To achieve this set the entries for these buffers to non present.

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.

It can be difficult to figure out for user programs what features the x86 CPU PMU driver actually supports. Currently it requires grepping in dmesg, but dmesg is not always available. This adds a caps directory to /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/, similar to the caps already used on intel_pt, which can be used to discover the available capabilities cleanly. Three capabilities are defined: - pmu_name: Underlying CPU name known to the driver - max_precise: Max precise level supported - branches: Known depth of LBR. Example: % grep . /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/caps/* /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/caps/branches:32 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/caps/max_precise:3 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/caps/pmu_name:skylake Signed-off-by: NAndi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: NPeter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170822185201.9261-3-andi@firstfloor.orgSigned-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

Skylake changed the encoding of the PEBS data source field. Some combinations are not available anymore, but some new cases e.g. for L4 cache hit are added. Fix up the conversion table for Skylake, similar as had been done for Nehalem. On Skylake server the encoding for L4 actually means persistent memory. Handle this case too. To properly describe it in the abstracted perf format I had to add some new fields. Since a hit can have only one level add a new field that is an enumeration, not a bit field to describe the level. It can describe any level. Some numbers are also used to describe PMEM and LFB. Also add a new generic remote flag that can be combined with the generic level to signify a remote cache. And there is an extension field for the snoop indication to handle the Forward state. I didn't add a generic flag for hops because it's not needed for Skylake. I changed the existing encodings for older CPUs to also fill in the new level and remote fields.

Minor cleanup: use an explicit x86_pmu flag to handle the missing Lock / TLB information on Nehalem, instead of always checking the model number for each PEBS sample.

Currently, the SMIs are visible to all performance counters, because many users want to measure everything including SMIs. But in some cases, the SMI cycles should not be counted - for example, to calculate the cost of an SMI itself. So a knob is needed. When setting FREEZE_WHILE_SMM bit in IA32_DEBUGCTL, all performance counters will be effected. There is no way to do per-counter freeze on SMI. So it should not use the per-event interface (e.g. ioctl or event attribute) to set FREEZE_WHILE_SMM bit. Adds sysfs entry /sys/device/cpu/freeze_on_smi to set FREEZE_WHILE_SMM bit in IA32_DEBUGCTL. When set, freezes perfmon and trace messages while in SMM. Value has to be 0 or 1. It will be applied to all processors. Also serialize the entire setting so we don't get multiple concurrent threads trying to update to different values.

Spurious NMIs will be observed with the following command: while :; do perf record -bae "cpu/umask=0x01,event=0xcd,ldlat=0x80/pp" -e "cpu/umask=0x03,event=0x0/" -e "cpu/umask=0x02,event=0x0/" -e cycles,branches,cache-misses -e cache-references -- sleep 10 done The bug was introduced by commit: 8077eca0 ("perf/x86/pebs: Add workaround for broken OVFL status on HSW+") That commit clears the status bits for the counters used for PEBS events, by masking the whole 64 bits pebs_enabled. However, only the low 32 bits of both status and pebs_enabled are reserved for PEBS-able counters. For status bits 32-34 are fixed counter overflow bits. For pebs_enabled bits 32-34 are for PEBS Load Latency. In the test case, the PEBS Load Latency event and fixed counter event could overflow at the same time. The fixed counter overflow bit will be cleared by mistake. Once it is cleared, the fixed counter overflow never be processed, which finally trigger spurious NMI. Correct the PEBS enabled mask by ignoring the non-PEBS bits.

An earlier patch allowed enabling PT and LBR at the same time on Goldmont. However it also allowed enabling BTS and LBR at the same time, which is still not supported. Fix this by bypassing the check only for PT.

Vince Weaver reported that perf_fuzzer + KASAN detects that PEBS event unwinds sometimes do 'weird' things. In particular, we seemed to be ending up unwinding from random places on the NMI stack. While it was somewhat expected that the event record BP,SP would not match the interrupt BP,SP in that the interrupt is strictly later than the record event, it was overlooked that it could be on an already overwritten stack. Therefore, don't copy the recorded BP,SP over the interrupted BP,SP when we need stack unwinds. Note that its still possible the unwind doesn't full match the actual event, as its entirely possible to have done an (I)RET between record and interrupt, but on average it should still point in the general direction of where the event came from. Also, it's the best we can do, considering. The particular scenario that triggered the bogus NMI stack unwind was a PEBS event with very short period, upon enabling the event at the tail of the PMI handler (FREEZE_ON_PMI is not used), it instantly triggers a record (while still on the NMI stack) which in turn triggers the next PMI. This then causes back-to-back NMIs and we'll try and unwind the stack-frame from the last NMI, which obviously is now overwritten by our own.

The lbr_context logic confused me; it appears to me to try and do the same thing the pmu::sched_task() callback does now, but limited to per-task events. So rip it out. Afaict this should also improve performance, because I think the current code can end up doing lbr_reset() twice, once from the pmu::add() and then again from pmu::sched_task(), and MSR writes (all 3*16 of them) are expensive!! While thinking through the cases that need the reset it occured to me the first install of an event in an active context needs to reset the LBR (who knows what crap is in there), but detecting this case is somewhat hard.
