      perf/x86: Fix shared register mutual exclusion enforcement · 2f7f73a5
      Stephane Eranian 提交于
      This patch fixes a problem with the shared registers mutual
      exclusion code and incremental event scheduling by the
      generic perf_event code.
      
      There was a bug whereby the mutual exclusion on the shared
      registers was not enforced because of incremental scheduling
      abort due to event constraints. As an example on Intel
      Nehalem, consider the following events:
      
      group1= L1D_CACHE_LD:E_STATE,OFFCORE_RESPONSE_0:PF_RFO,L1D_CACHE_LD:I_STATE
      group2= L1D_CACHE_LD:I_STATE
      
      The L1D_CACHE_LD event can only be measured by 2 counters. Yet, there
      are 3 instances here. The first group can be scheduled and is committed.
      Then, the generic code tries to schedule group2 and this fails (because
      there is no more counter to support the 3rd instance of L1D_CACHE_LD).
      But in x86_schedule_events() error path, put_event_contraints() is invoked
      on ALL the events and not just the ones that just failed. That causes the
      "lock" on the shared offcore_response MSR to be released. Yet the first group
      is actually scheduled and is exposed to reprogramming of that shared msr by
      the sibling HT thread. In other words, there is no guarantee on what is
      measured.
      
      This patch fixes the problem by tagging committed events with the
      PERF_X86_EVENT_COMMITTED tag. In the error path of x86_schedule_events(),
      only the events NOT tagged have their constraint released. The tag
      is eventually removed when the event in descheduled.

      perf/x86: Fix USER/KERNEL tagging of samples properly · d07bdfd3
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      Some PMUs don't provide a full register set for their sample,
      specifically 'advanced' PMUs like AMD IBS and Intel PEBS which provide
      'better' than regular interrupt accuracy.
      
      In this case we use the interrupt regs as basis and over-write some
      fields (typically IP) with different information.
      
      The perf core however uses user_mode() to distinguish user/kernel
      samples, user_mode() relies on regs->cs. If the interrupt skid pushed
      us over a boundary the new IP might not be in the same domain as the
      interrupt.
      
      Commit ce5c1fe9 ("perf/x86: Fix USER/KERNEL tagging of samples")
      tried to fix this by making the perf core use kernel_ip(). This
      however is wrong (TM), as pointed out by Linus, since it doesn't allow
      for VM86 and non-zero based segments in IA32 mode.
      
      Therefore, provide a new helper to set the regs->ip field,
      set_linear_ip(), which massages the regs into a suitable state
      assuming the provided IP is in fact a linear address.
      
      Also modify perf_instruction_pointer() and perf_callchain_user() to
      deal with segments base offsets.

      perf: Add callback to flush branch_stack on context switch · d010b332
      Stephane Eranian 提交于
      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.
