      perf, x86: use LBR for PEBS IP+1 fixup · ef21f683
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      Use the LBR to fix up the PEBS IP+1 issue.
      
      As said, PEBS reports the next instruction, here we use the LBR to find
      the last branch and from that construct the actual IP. If the IP matches
      the LBR-TO, we use LBR-FROM, otherwise we use the LBR-TO address as the
      beginning of the last basic block and decode forward.
      
      Once we find a match to the current IP, we use the previous location.
      
      This patch introduces a new ABI element: PERF_RECORD_MISC_EXACT, which
      conveys that the reported IP (PERF_SAMPLE_IP) is the exact instruction
      that caused the event (barring CPU errata).
      
      The fixup can fail due to various reasons:
      
       1) LBR contains invalid data (quite possible)
       2) part of the basic block got paged out
       3) the reported IP isn't part of the basic block (see 1)

      perf, x86: Implement simple LBR support · caff2bef
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      Implement simple suport Intel Last-Branch-Record, it supports all
      hardware that implements FREEZE_LBRS_ON_PMI, but does not (yet) implement
      the LBR config register.
      
      The Intel LBR is a FIFO of From,To addresses describing the last few
      branches the hardware took.
      
      This patch does not add perf interface to the LBR, but merely provides an
      interface for internal use.

      perf, x86: Add PEBS infrastructure · ca037701
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      This patch implements support for Intel Precise Event Based Sampling,
      which is an alternative counter mode in which the counter triggers a
      hardware assist to collect information on events. The hardware assist
      takes a trap like snapshot of a subset of the machine registers.
      
      This data is written to the Intel Debug-Store, which can be programmed
      with a data threshold at which to raise a PMI.
      
      With the PEBS hardware assist being trap like, the reported IP is always
      one instruction after the actual instruction that triggered the event.
      
      This implements a simple PEBS model that always takes a single PEBS event
      at a time. This is done so that the interaction with the rest of the
      system is as expected (freq adjust, period randomization, lbr,
      callchains, etc.).
      
      It adds an ABI element: perf_event_attr::precise, which indicates that we
      wish to use this (constrained, but precise) mode.

      perf, x86: Fix double enable calls · f3d46b2e
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      hw_perf_enable() would enable already enabled events.
      
      This causes problems with code that assumes that ->enable/->disable calls
      are balanced (like the LBR code does).
      
      What happens is that events that were already running and left in place
      would get enabled again.
      
      Avoid this by only enabling new events that match their previous
      assignment.

      x86/stacktrace: Don't dereference bad frame pointers · 29044ad1
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      Callers of a stacktrace might pass bad frame pointers. Those
      are usually checked for safety in stack walking helpers before
      any dereferencing, but this is not the case when we need to go
      through one more frame pointer that backlinks the irq stack to
      the previous one, as we don't have any reliable address boudaries
      to compare this frame pointer against.
      
      This raises crashes when we record callchains for ftrace events
      with perf because we don't use the right helpers to capture
      registers there. We get wrong frame pointers as we call
      task_pt_regs() even on kernel threads, which is a wrong thing
      as it gives us the initial state of any kernel threads freshly
      created. This is even not what we want for user tasks. What we want
      is a hot snapshot of registers when the ftrace event triggers, not
      the state before a task entered the kernel.
      
      This requires more thoughts to do it correctly though.
      So first put a guardian to ensure the given frame pointer
      can be dereferenced to avoid crashes. We'll think about how to fix
      the callers in a subsequent patch.
