At enable time the counter might still have a ->idx pointing to a previously occupied location that might now be taken by another event. Resetting the counter at that location with data from this event will destroy the other counter's count.

This patch improves event scheduling by maximizing the use of PMU registers regardless of the order in which events are created in a group. The algorithm takes into account the list of counter constraints for each event. It assigns events to counters from the most constrained, i.e., works on only one counter, to the least constrained, i.e., works on any counter. Intel Fixed counter events and the BTS special event are also handled via this algorithm which is designed to be fairly generic. The patch also updates the validation of an event to use the scheduling algorithm. This will cause early failure in perf_event_open(). The 2nd version of this patch follows the model used by PPC, by running the scheduling algorithm and the actual assignment separately. Actual assignment takes place in hw_perf_enable() whereas scheduling is implemented in hw_perf_group_sched_in() and x86_pmu_enable().

When running perf across all cpus with backtracing (-a -g), sometimes we get samples without associated backtraces: 23.44% init [kernel] [k] restore 11.46% init eeba0c [k] 0x00000000eeba0c 6.77% swapper [kernel] [k] .perf_ctx_adjust_freq 5.73% init [kernel] [k] .__trace_hcall_entry 4.69% perf libc-2.9.so [.] 0x0000000006bb8c | |--11.11%-- 0xfffa941bbbc It turns out the backtrace code has a check for the idle task and the IP sampling does not. This creates problems when profiling an interrupt heavy workload (in my case 10Gbit ethernet) since we get no backtraces for interrupts received while idle (ie most of the workload). Right now x86 and sh check that current is not NULL, which should never happen so remove that too. Idle task's exclusion must be performed from the core code, on top of perf_event_attr:exclude_idle.

Pass the frame pointer from the regs of the interrupted path to dump_trace() while processing the stack trace. Currently, dump_trace() takes the current bp and starts the callchain from dump_trace() itself. This is wasteful because we need to walk through the entire NMI/DEBUG stack before retrieving the interrupted point. We can fix that by just using the frame pointer from the captured regs. It points exactly where we want to start.

perf events, x86/stacktrace: Fix performance/softlockup by providing a special frame pointer-only stack walker It's just wasteful for stacktrace users like perf to walk through every entries on the stack whereas these only accept reliable ones, ie: that the frame pointer validates. Since perf requires pure reliable stacktraces, it needs a stack walker based on frame pointers-only to optimize the stacktrace processing. This might solve some near-lockup scenarios that can be triggered by call-graph tracing timer events.

The current print_context_stack helper that does the stack walking job is good for usual stacktraces as it walks through all the stack and reports even addresses that look unreliable, which is nice when we don't have frame pointers for example. But we have users like perf that only require reliable stacktraces, and those may want a more adapted stack walker, so lets make this function a callback in stacktrace_ops that users can tune for their needs.

The validate_event() was failing on valid event combinations. The function was assuming that if x86_schedule_event() returned 0, it meant error. But x86_schedule_event() returns the counter index and 0 is a perfectly valid value. An error is returned if the function returns a negative value. Furthermore, validate_event() was also failing for event groups because the event->pmu was not set until after hw_perf_event_init().

On some Intel processors, not all events can be measured in all counters. Some events can only be measured in one particular counter, for instance. Assigning an event to the wrong counter does not crash the machine but this yields bogus counts, i.e., silent error. This patch changes the event to counter assignment logic to take into account event constraints for Intel P6, Core and Nehalem processors. There is no contraints on Intel Atom. There are constraints on Intel Yonah (Core Duo) but they are not provided in this patch given that this processor is not yet supported by perf_events. As a result of the constraints, it is possible for some event groups to never actually be loaded onto the PMU if they contain two events which can only be measured on a single counter. That situation can be detected with the scaling information extracted with read().

Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: NStephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: NPeter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: NArjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

Draining the BTS buffer on a buffer overflow interrupt takes too long resulting in a kernel lockup when tracing the kernel. Restructure perf_counter sampling into sample creation and sample output. Prepare a single reference sample for BTS sampling and update the from and to address fields when draining the BTS buffer. Drain the entire BTS buffer between a single perf_output_begin() / perf_output_end() pair.

Kernel BTS tracing generates too much data too fast for us to handle, causing the kernel to hang. Fail for BTS requests for kernel code.

The lockup should be fixed ASAP. ] Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
