perf tools: Fix synthesizing fork_event.ppid for non-main thread · 7764a385

由 David Ahern 提交于 4月 09, 2015

Commit ca6c41c5 sets the ppid based on what is read from the
/proc/pid/status file when synthesizing fork events.

This is correct thing to do for new processes but not threads of a
process.

Fix ppid for threads to be the main thread when synthesizing fork events
(ie., assume main thread spawned all sub-threads in a process).

perf report: Don't call map__kmap if map is NULL. · f6fcc143

由 Wang Nan 提交于 4月 08, 2015

report__warn_kptr_restrict() calls map__kmap(kernel_map) before checking
kernel_map againest NULL.

Which is dangerous, since map__kmap() will return a invalid and not NULL
address.

It will trigger a warning message in map__kmap() after the patch "perf:
kmaps: enforce usage of kmaps to protect futher bugs." was applied.

This patch fixes it by adding the missing checking.

perf tools: Merge all perf_event_attr print functions · 2c5e8c52

由 Peter Zijlstra 提交于 4月 07, 2015

Currently there's 3 (that I found) different and incomplete
implementations of printing perf_event_attr.

This is quite silly. Merge the lot.

While this patch does not retain the exact form all printing that I
found is debug output and thus it should not be critical.

Also, I cannot find a single print_event_desc() caller.

perf sched replay: Use replay_repeat to calculate the runavg of cpu usage... · ff5f3bbd

由 Yunlong Song 提交于 3月 31, 2015

perf sched replay: Use replay_repeat to calculate the runavg of cpu usage instead of the default value 10

Since sched->replay_repeat is set to 10 as default, the sched->run_avg,
sched->runavg_cpu_usage, and sched->runavg_parent_cpu_usage all use
10 to calculate their value.

However, the replay_repeat can be changed to other value by using -r
option, so the calculation above should use replay_repeat to achieve
more accurate results instead of the default value 10.

perf sched replay: Fix the EMFILE error caused by the limitation of the maximum open files · 939cda52

由 Yunlong Song 提交于 3月 31, 2015

The soft maximum number of open files for a calling process is 1024,
which is defined as INR_OPEN_CUR in include/uapi/linux/fs.h, and the
hard maximum number of open files for a calling process is 4096, which
is defined as INR_OPEN_MAX in include/uapi/linux/fs.h.

Both INR_OPEN_CUR and INR_OPEN_MAX are used to limit the value of
RLIMIT_NOFILE in include/asm-generic/resource.h.

And the soft maximum number finally decides the limitation of the
maximum files which are allowed to be opened.

That is to say a process can use at most 1024 file descriptors for its
o pened files, or an EMFILE error will happen.

This error can be fixed by increasing the soft maximum number, under the
constraint that the soft maximum number can not exceed the hard maximum
number, or both soft and hard maximum number should be increased
simultaneously with privilege.

For perf sched replay, it uses sys_perf_event_open to create the file
descriptor for each of the tasks in order to handle information of perf
events.

That is to say each task needs a unique file descriptor. In x86_64,
there may be over 1024 or 4096 tasks correspoinding to the record in
perf.data, which causes that no enough file descriptors can be used.

As a result, EMFILE error happens and stops the replay process. To solve
this problem, we adaptively increase the soft and hard maximum number of
open files with a '-f' option.

Example:

Test environment: x86_64 with 160 cores

 $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
 163840
 $ cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max
 6815744

perf sched replay: Handle the dead halt of sem_wait when create_tasks() fails for any task · 1aff59be

由 Yunlong Song 提交于 3月 31, 2015

Since there is sem_wait for each task in the wait_for_tasks(), e.g.
sem_wait(&task->work_done_sem).

The sem_wait can continue only when work_done_sem is greater than 0, or
it will be blocked.

For perf sched replay, one task may sem_post the work_done_sem of
another task, which causes the work_done_sem of that task processed in a
reasonable sequence, e.g. sem_post, sem_wait, sem_wait, sem_post...

This sequence simulates the sched process of the running tasks at the
time when perf sched record runs.

As a result, all the tasks are required and their threads must be
successfully created.

If any one (task A) of the tasks fails to create its thread, then
another task (task B), whose work_done_sem needs sem_post from that
failed task A, may likely block itself due to seg_wait.

And this is a dead halt, since task B's thread_func cannot continue at
all.

To solve this problem, perf sched replay should exit once any task fails
to create its thread.

Example:

Test environment: x86_64 with 160 cores

Before this patch:

 $ perf sched replay
 ...
 Error: sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with -1 (Too many open
 files)
 ------------------------------------------------------------    <- dead halt

After this patch:

 $ perf sched replay
 ...
 task   1551 (           <unknown>:         0), nr_events: 10
 Error: sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with -1 (Too many open
 files)
 $

As shown above, perf sched replay finishes the process after printing an
error message and does not block itself.

The pr_err in self_open_counters() works in a thread called thread_func
created in function create_tasks, which concurrently creates
sched->nr_tasks threads.

If the error happens and pr_err prints the error message in each of
these threads, the stack size of the perf process (default is 8192
kbytes) will quickly run out and the segmentation fault will happen
then.

To solve this problem, pr_err with self_open_counters() should be moved
from newly created threads to the old main thread of the perf process.
Then the pr_err can work in a stable situation without the strange
segmentation fault problem.

Example:

Test environment: x86_64 with 160 cores

Before this patch:

 $ perf sched replay
 ...
 task   1549 (             :163132:    163132), nr_events: 1
 task   1550 (             :163540:    163540), nr_events: 1
 task   1551 (           <unknown>:         0), nr_events: 10
 Segmentation fault

After this patch:

 $ perf sched replay
 ...
 task   1549 (             :163132:    163132), nr_events: 1
 task   1550 (             :163540:    163540), nr_events: 1
 task   1551 (           <unknown>:         0), nr_events: 10
 ...

As shown above, the result continues without any segmentation fault.

perf sched replay: Realloc the memory of pid_to_task stepwise to adapt to the different pid_max configurations

Although the memory of pid_to_task can be allocated via calloc according
to the value of /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max, it cannot handle the case when
pid_max is changed after 'perf sched record' has created its perf.data.

If the new pid_max configured in 'perf sched replay' is smaller than the
old pid_max configured in 'perf sched record', then it will cause the
assertion failure problem.

To solve this problem, we realloc the memory of pid_to_task stepwise
once the passed-in pid parameter in register_pid is larger than the
current pid_max.

Example:

Test environment: x86_64 with 160 cores

 $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
 163840
 $ perf sched record ls
 $ echo 5000 > /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
 $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
 5000

perf sched replay: Alloc the memory of pid_to_task dynamically to adapt to the unexpected change of pid_max

The current memory allocation of struct task_desc *pid_to_task[MAX_PID]
is in a permanent and preset way, and it has two problems:

Problem 1: If the pid_max, which is the max number of pids in the
system, is much smaller than MAX_PID (1024*1000), then it causes a waste
of stack memory. This may happen in the case where the number of cpu
cores is much smaller than 1000.

Problem 2: If the pid_max is changed from the default value to a value
larger than MAX_PID, then it will cause assertion failure problem. The
maximum value of pid_max can be set to pid_max_max (see pidmap_init
defined in kernel/pid.c), which equals to PID_MAX_LIMIT. In x86_64,
PID_MAX_LIMIT is 4*1024*1024 (defined in include/linux/threads.h). This
value is much larger than MAX_PID, and will take up 32768 Kbytes
(4*1024*1024*8/1024) for memory allocation of pid_to_task, which is much
larger than the default 8192 Kbytes of the stack size of calling
process.

Due to these two problems, we use calloc to allocate the memory of
pid_to_task dynamically.

Example:

Test environment: x86_64 with 160 cores

 $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
 163840
 $ echo 1025000 > /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
 $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
 1025000

Run some applications until the pid of some process is greater than
the value of MAX_PID (1024*1000).

perf sched replay: Increase the MAX_PID value to fix assertion failure problem · a35e27d0

由 Yunlong Song 提交于 3月 31, 2015

Current MAX_PID is only 65536, which will cause assertion failure problem
when CPU cores are more than 64 in x86_64.

This is because the pid_max value in x86_64 is at least
PIDS_PER_CPU_DEFAULT * num_possible_cpus() (see function pidmap_init
defined in kernel/pid.c), where PIDS_PER_CPU_DEFAULT is 1024 (defined in
include/linux/threads.h).

Thus for MAX_PID = 65536, the correspoinding CPU cores are
65536/1024=64.  This is obviously not enough at all for x86_64, and will
cause an assertion failure problem due to BUG_ON(pid >= MAX_PID) in the
codes.

We increase MAX_PID value from 65536 to 1024*1000, which can be used in
x86_64 with 1000 cores.

This number is finally decided according to the limitation of stack size
of calling process.

Use 'ulimit -a', the result shows the stack size of any process is 8192
Kbytes, which is defined in include/uapi/linux/resource.h (#define
_STK_LIM (8*1024*1024)).

Thus we choose a large enough value for MAX_PID, and make it satisfy to
the limitation of the stack size, i.e., making the perf process take up
a memory space just smaller than 8192 Kbytes.

We have calculated and tested that 1024*1000 is OK for MAX_PID.

This means perf sched replay can now be used with at most 1000 cores in
x86_64 without any assertion failure problem.

Example:

Test environment: x86_64 with 160 cores

 $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max

This patch add checks in places where map__kmap is used to get kmaps
from struct kmap.

Error messages are added at map__kmap to warn invalid accessing of kmap
(for the case of !map->dso->kernel, kmap(map) does not exists at all).

Also, introduces map__kmaps() to warn uninitialized kmaps.
