While debugging a warning message on PowerPC while using hardware breakpoints, it was discovered that when perf_event_disable is invoked through hw_breakpoint_handler function with interrupts disabled, a subsequent IPI in the code path would trigger a WARN_ON_ONCE message in smp_call_function_single function. This patch calls __perf_event_disable() when interrupts are already disabled, instead of perf_event_disable().

Don't mess with file refcounts (or keep a reference to file, for that matter) in perf_event. Use explicit refcount of its own instead. Deal with the race between the final reference to event going away and new children getting created for it by use of atomic_long_inc_not_zero() in inherit_event(); just have the latter free what it had allocated and return NULL, that works out just fine (children of siblings of something doomed are created as singletons, same as if the child of leader had been created and immediately killed).

A few events are interesting not only for a current task. For example, sched_stat_* events are interesting for a task which wakes up. For this reason, it will be good if such events will be delivered to a target task too. Now a target task can be set by using __perf_task(). The original idea and a draft patch belongs to Peter Zijlstra. I need these events for profiling sleep times. sched_switch is used for getting callchains and sched_stat_* is used for getting time periods. These events are combined in user space, then it can be analyzed by perf tools.

An rmdir pushes css's ref count to zero. However, if the associated directory is open at the time, the dentry ref count is non-zero. If the fd for this directory is then passed into perf_event_open, it does a css_get(). This bounces the ref count back up from zero. This is a problem by itself. But what makes it turn into a crash is the fact that we end up doing an extra dput, since we perform a dput when css_put sees the ref count go down to zero. css_tryget() does not fall into that trap. So, we use that instead.

This reverts commit cb04ff9a ("sched, perf: Use a single callback into the scheduler"). Before this change was introduced, the process switch worked like this (wrt. to perf event schedule): schedule (prev, next) - schedule out all perf events for prev - switch to next - schedule in all perf events for current (next) After the commit, the process switch looks like: schedule (prev, next) - schedule out all perf events for prev - schedule in all perf events for (next) - switch to next The problem is, that after we schedule perf events in, the pmu is enabled and we can receive events even before we make the switch to next - so "current" still being prev process (event SAMPLE data are filled based on the value of the "current" process). Thats exactly what we see for test__PERF_RECORD test. We receive SAMPLES with PID of the process that our tracee is scheduled from. Discussed with Peter Zijlstra: > Bah!, yeah I guess reverting is the right thing for now.

In perf_event_for_each() we call a function on an event, and then iterate over the siblings of the event. However we don't call the function on the siblings, we call it repeatedly on the original event - it seems "obvious" that we should be calling it with sibling as the argument. It looks like this broke in commit 75f937f2 ("Fix ctx->mutex vs counter->mutex inversion"). The only effect of the bug is that the PERF_IOC_FLAG_GROUP parameter to the ioctls doesn't work.

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.

This patch adds the ability to sample taken branches to the perf_event interface. The ability to capture taken branches is very useful for all sorts of analysis. For instance, basic block profiling, call counts, statistical call graph. This new capability requires hardware assist and as such may not be available on all HW platforms. On Intel x86 it is implemented on top of the Last Branch Record (LBR) facility. To enable taken branches sampling, the PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK bit must be set in attr->sample_type. Sampled taken branches may be filtered by type and/or priv levels. The patch adds a new field, called branch_sample_type, to the perf_event_attr structure. It contains a bitmask of filters to apply to the sampled taken branches. Filters may be implemented in HW. If the HW filter does not exist or is not good enough, some arch may also implement a SW filter. The following generic filters are currently defined: - PERF_SAMPLE_USER only branches whose targets are at the user level - PERF_SAMPLE_KERNEL only branches whose targets are at the kernel level - PERF_SAMPLE_HV only branches whose targets are at the hypervisor level - PERF_SAMPLE_ANY any type of branches (subject to priv levels filters) - PERF_SAMPLE_ANY_CALL any call branches (may incl. syscall on some arch) - PERF_SAMPLE_ANY_RET any return branches (may incl. syscall returns on some arch) - PERF_SAMPLE_IND_CALL indirect call branches Obviously filter may be combined. The priv level bits are optional. If not provided, the priv level of the associated event are used. It is possible to collect branches at a priv level different from the associated event. Use of kernel, hv priv levels is subject to permissions and availability (hv). The number of taken branch records present in each sample may vary based on HW, the type of sampled branches, the executed code. Therefore each sample contains the number of taken branches it contains.

static keys: Introduce 'struct static_key', static_key_true()/false() and static_key_slow_[inc|dec]() So here's a boot tested patch on top of Jason's series that does all the cleanups I talked about and turns jump labels into a more intuitive to use facility. It should also address the various misconceptions and confusions that surround jump labels. Typical usage scenarios: #include <linux/static_key.h> struct static_key key = STATIC_KEY_INIT_TRUE; if (static_key_false(&key)) do unlikely code else do likely code Or: if (static_key_true(&key)) do likely code else do unlikely code The static key is modified via: static_key_slow_inc(&key); ... static_key_slow_dec(&key); The 'slow' prefix makes it abundantly clear that this is an expensive operation. I've updated all in-kernel code to use this everywhere. Note that I (intentionally) have not pushed through the rename blindly through to the lowest levels: the actual jump-label patching arch facility should be named like that, so we want to decouple jump labels from the static-key facility a bit. On non-jump-label enabled architectures static keys default to likely()/unlikely() branches.

The following patch fixes a bug introduced by the following commit: e050e3f0 ("perf: Fix broken interrupt rate throttling") The patch caused the following warning to pop up depending on the sampling frequency adjustments: ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: at arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perf_event.c:995 x86_pmu_start+0x79/0xd4() It was caused by the following call sequence: perf_adjust_freq_unthr_context.part() { stop() if (delta > 0) { perf_adjust_period() { if (period > 8*...) { stop() ... start() } } } start() } Which caused a double start and a double stop, thus triggering the assert in x86_pmu_start(). The patch fixes the problem by avoiding the double calls. We pass a new argument to perf_adjust_period() to indicate whether or not the event is already stopped. We can't just remove the start/stop from that function because it's called from __perf_event_overflow where the event needs to be reloaded via a stop/start back-toback call. The patch reintroduces the assertion in x86_pmu_start() which was removed by commit: 84f2b9b2 ("perf: Remove deprecated WARN_ON_ONCE()") In this second version, we've added calls to disable/enable PMU during unthrottling or frequency adjustment based on bug report of spurious NMI interrupts from Eric Dumazet.

The argument is not used at all, and it's not necessary, because a specific callback handler of course knows which subsys it belongs to. Now only ->pupulate() takes this argument, because the handlers of this callback always call cgroup_add_file()/cgroup_add_files().

This patch fixes the sampling interrupt throttling mechanism. It was broken in v3.2. Events were not being unthrottled. The unthrottling mechanism required that events be checked at each timer tick. This patch solves this problem and also separates: - unthrottling - multiplexing - frequency-mode period adjustments Not all of them need to be executed at each timer tick. This third version of the patch is based on my original patch + PeterZ proposal (https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/7/87). At each timer tick, for each context: - if the current CPU has throttled events, we unthrottle events - if context has frequency-based events, we adjust sampling periods - if we have reached the jiffies interval, we multiplex (rotate) We decoupled rotation (multiplexing) from frequency-mode sampling period adjustments. They should not necessarily happen at the same rate. Multiplexing is subject to jiffies_interval (currently at 1 but could be higher once the tunable is exposed via sysfs). We have grouped frequency-mode adjustment and unthrottling into the same routine to minimize code duplication. When throttled while in frequency mode, we scan the events only once. We have fixed the threshold enforcement code in __perf_event_overflow(). There was a bug whereby it would allow more than the authorized rate because an increment of hwc->interrupts was not executed at the right place. The patch was tested with low sampling limit (2000) and fixed periods, frequency mode, overcommitted PMU. On a 2.1GHz AMD CPU: $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate 2000 We set a rate of 3000 samples/sec (2.1GHz/3000 = 700000): $ perf record -e cycles,cycles -c 700000 noploop 10 $ perf report -D | tail -21 Aggregated stats: TOTAL events: 80086 MMAP events: 88 COMM events: 2 EXIT events: 4 THROTTLE events: 19996 UNTHROTTLE events: 19996 SAMPLE events: 40000 cycles stats: TOTAL events: 40006 MMAP events: 5 COMM events: 1 EXIT events: 4 THROTTLE events: 9998 UNTHROTTLE events: 9998 SAMPLE events: 20000 cycles stats: TOTAL events: 39996 THROTTLE events: 9998 UNTHROTTLE events: 9998 SAMPLE events: 20000 For 10s, the cap is 2x2000x10 = 40000 samples.

Put the logic to compute the event index into a per pmu method. This is required because the x86 rules are weird and wonderful and don't match the capabilities of the current scheme. AFAIK only powerpc actually has a usable userspace read of the PMCs but I'm not at all sure anybody actually used that. ARM is restored to the default since it currently does not support userspace access at all. And all software events are provided with a method that reports their index as 0 (disabled).

Now that subsys->can_attach() and attach() take @tset instead of @task, they can handle per-task operations. Convert ->can_attach_task() and ->attach_task() users to use ->can_attach() and attach() instead. Most converions are straight-forward. Noteworthy changes are, * In cgroup_freezer, remove unnecessary NULL assignments to unused methods. It's useless and very prone to get out of sync, which already happened. * In cpuset, PF_THREAD_BOUND test is checked for each task. This doesn't make any practical difference but is conceptually cleaner.

perf_event_sched_in() shouldn't try to schedule task events if there are none otherwise task's ctx->is_active will be set and will not be cleared during sched_out. This will prevent newly added events from being scheduled into the task context.

jump_lable patching is very expensive operation that involves pausing all cpus. The patching of perf_sched_events jump_label is easily controllable from userspace by unprivileged user. When te user runs a loop like this: "while true; do perf stat -e cycles true; done" ... the performance of my test application that just increments a counter for one second drops by 4%. This is on a 16 cpu box with my test application using only one of them. An impact on a real server doing real work will be worse. Performance of KVM PMU drops nearly 50% due to jump_lable for "perf record" since KVM PMU implementation creates and destroys perf event frequently. This patch introduces a way to rate limit jump_label patching and uses it to fix the above problem. I believe that as jump_label use will spread the problem will become more common and thus solving it in a generic code is appropriate. Also fixing it in the perf code would result in moving jump_label accounting logic to perf code with all the ifdefs in case of JUMP_LABEL=n kernel. With this patch all details are nicely hidden inside jump_label code.

Cure this by keeping a perf_event_context::nr_freq counter that counts the number of active events that require frequency adjustments and use this in a similar fashion to the already existing nr_events != nr_active test in perf_rotate_context(). By being able to exclude both rotation and frequency adjustments a-priory for the common case we can avoid the otherwise superfluous PMU disable.

When you do: $ perf record -e cycles,cycles,cycles noploop 10 You expect about 10,000 samples for each event, i.e., 10s at 1000samples/sec. However, this is not what's happening. You get much fewer samples, maybe 3700 samples/event: $ perf report -D | tail -15 Aggregated stats: TOTAL events: 10998 MMAP events: 66 COMM events: 2 SAMPLE events: 10930 cycles stats: TOTAL events: 3644 SAMPLE events: 3644 cycles stats: TOTAL events: 3642 SAMPLE events: 3642 cycles stats: TOTAL events: 3644 SAMPLE events: 3644 On a Intel Nehalem or even AMD64, there are 4 counters capable of measuring cycles, so there is plenty of space to measure those events without multiplexing (even with the NMI watchdog active). And even with multiplexing, we'd expect roughly the same number of samples per event. The root of the problem was that when the event that caused the buffer to become full was not the first event passed on the cmdline, the user notification would get lost. The notification was sent to the file descriptor of the overflowed event but the perf tool was not polling on it. The perf tool aggregates all samples into a single buffer, i.e., the buffer of the first event. Consequently, it assumes notifications for any event will come via that descriptor. The seemingly straight forward solution of moving the waitq into the ringbuffer object doesn't work because of life-time issues. One could perf_event_set_output() on a fd that you're also blocking on and cause the old rb object to be freed while its waitq would still be referenced by the blocked thread -> FAIL. Therefore link all events to the ringbuffer and broadcast the wakeup from the ringbuffer object to all possible events that could be waited upon. This is rather ugly, and we're open to better solutions but it works for now.

This patch solves the following problem: Now some samples may be lost due to throttling. The number of samples is restricted by sysctl_perf_event_sample_rate/HZ. A trace event is divided on some samples according to event's period. I don't sure, that we should generate more than one sample on each trace event. I think the better way to use SAMPLE_PERIOD. E.g.: I want to trace when a process sleeps. I created a process, which sleeps for 1ms and for 4ms. perf got 100 events in both cases. swapper 0 [000] 1141.371830: sched_stat_sleep: comm=foo pid=1801 delay=1386750 [ns] swapper 0 [000] 1141.369444: sched_stat_sleep: comm=foo pid=1801 delay=4499585 [ns] In the first case a kernel want to send 4499585 events and in the second case it wants to send 1386750 events. perf-reports shows that process sleeps in both places equal time. It's bug. With this patch kernel generates one event on each "sleep" and the time slice is saved in the field "period". Perf knows how handle it.
