      perf: Add per event clockid support · 34f43927
      由 Peter Zijlstra 提交于 
      While thinking on the whole clock discussion it occurred to me we have
two distinct uses of time:

 1) the tracking of event/ctx/cgroup enabled/running/stopped times
    which includes the self-monitoring support in struct
    perf_event_mmap_page.

 2) the actual timestamps visible in the data records.

And we've been conflating them.

The first is all about tracking time deltas, nobody should really care
in what time base that happens, its all relative information, as long
as its internally consistent it works.

The second however is what people are worried about when having to
merge their data with external sources. And here we have the
discussion on MONOTONIC vs MONOTONIC_RAW etc..

Where MONOTONIC is good for correlating between machines (static
offset), MONOTNIC_RAW is required for correlating against a fixed rate
hardware clock.

This means configurability; now 1) makes that hard because it needs to
be internally consistent across groups of unrelated events; which is
why we had to have a global perf_clock().

However, for 2) it doesn't really matter, perf itself doesn't care
what it writes into the buffer.

The below patch makes the distinction between these two cases by
adding perf_event_clock() which is used for the second case. It
further makes this configurable on a per-event basis, but adds a few
sanity checks such that we cannot combine events with different clocks
in confusing ways.

And since we then have per-event configurability we might as well
retain the 'legacy' behaviour as a default.

      perf/x86/intel: Add INST_RETIRED.ALL workarounds · 294fe0f5
      由 Andi Kleen 提交于 
      On Broadwell INST_RETIRED.ALL cannot be used with any period
that doesn't have the lowest 6 bits cleared. And the period
should not be smaller than 128.

This is erratum BDM11 and BDM55:

  http://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/specification-updates/5th-gen-core-family-spec-update.pdf

BDM11: When using a period < 100; we may get incorrect PEBS/PMI
interrupts and/or an invalid counter state.
BDM55: When bit0-5 of the period are !0 we may get redundant PEBS
records on overflow.

Add a new callback to enforce this, and set it for Broadwell.

How does this handle the case when an app requests a specific
period with some of the bottom bits set?

Short answer:

Any useful instruction sampling period needs to be 4-6 orders
of magnitude larger than 128, as an PMI every 128 instructions
would instantly overwhelm the system and be throttled.
So the +-64 error from this is really small compared to the
period, much smaller than normal system jitter.

Long answer (by Peterz):

IFF we guarantee perf_event_attr::sample_period >= 128.

Suppose we start out with sample_period=192; then we'll set period_left
to 192, we'll end up with left = 128 (we truncate the lower bits). We
get an interrupt, find that period_left = 64 (>0 so we return 0 and
don't get an overflow handler), up that to 128. Then we trigger again,
at n=256. Then we find period_left = -64 (<=0 so we return 1 and do get
an overflow). We increment with sample_period so we get left = 128. We
fire again, at n=384, period_left = 0 (<=0 so we return 1 and get an
overflow). And on and on.

So while the individual interrupts are 'wrong' we get then with
interval=256,128 in exactly the right ratio to average out at 192. And
this works for everything >=128.

So the num_samples*fixed_period thing is still entirely correct +- 127,
which is good enough I'd say, as you already have that error anyhow.

So no need to 'fix' the tools, al we need to do is refuse to create
INST_RETIRED:ALL events with sample_period < 128.

The constraint list has one new event that needs to be handled over Haswell.

      由 Andi Kleen 提交于 
      Haswell offcore events are quite different from Sandy Bridge.
Add a new table to handle Haswell properly.

Note that the offcore bits listed in the SDM are not quite correct
(this is currently being fixed). An uptodate list of bits is
in the patch.

The basic setup is similar to Sandy Bridge. The prefetch columns
have been removed, as prefetch counting is not very reliable
on Haswell. One L1 event that is not in the event list anymore
has been also removed.

- data reads do not include code reads (comparable to earlier Sandy Bridge tables)
- data counts include speculative execution (except L1 write, dtlb, bpu)
- remote node access includes both remote memory, remote cache, remote mmio.
- prefetches are not included in the counts for consistency
  (different from Sandy Bridge, which includes prefetches in the remote node)

      This reverts commit:

  f47233c2 ("x86/mm/ASLR: Propagate base load address calculation")

The main reason for the revert is that the new boot flag does not work
at all currently, and in order to make this work, we need non-trivial
changes to the x86 boot code which we didn't manage to get done in
time for merging.

And even if we did, they would've been too risky so instead of
rushing things and break booting 4.1 on boxes left and right, we
will be very strict and conservative and will take our time with
this to fix and test it properly.

      x86/fpu: Avoid math_state_restore() without used_math() in __restore_xstate_sig() · a7c80ebc
      由 Oleg Nesterov 提交于 
      math_state_restore() assumes it is called with irqs disabled,
but this is not true if the caller is __restore_xstate_sig().

This means that if ia32_fxstate == T and __copy_from_user()
fails, __restore_xstate_sig() returns with irqs disabled too.

This triggers:

  BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/rwsem.c:41
   dump_stack
   ___might_sleep
   ? _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore
   __might_sleep
   down_read
   ? _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore
   print_vma_addr
   signal_fault
   sys32_rt_sigreturn

Change __restore_xstate_sig() to call set_used_math()
unconditionally. This avoids enabling and disabling interrupts
in math_state_restore(). If copy_from_user() fails, we can
simply do fpu_finit() by hand.

[ Note: this is only the first step. math_state_restore() should
        not check used_math(), it should set this flag. While
	init_fpu() should simply die. ]

      perf/x86/intel: Enable conflicting event scheduling for CQM · 59bf7fd4
      由 Matt Fleming 提交于 
      We can leverage the workqueue that we use for RMID rotation to support
scheduling of conflicting monitoring events. Allowing events that
monitor conflicting things is done at various other places in the perf
subsystem, so there's precedent there.

An example of two conflicting events would be monitoring a cgroup and
simultaneously monitoring a task within that cgroup.

This uses the cache_groups list as a queuing mechanism, where every
event that reaches the front of the list gets the chance to be scheduled
in, possibly descheduling any conflicting events that are running.

      perf/x86/intel: Perform rotation on Intel CQM RMIDs · bff671db
      由 Matt Fleming 提交于 
      There are many use cases where people will want to monitor more tasks
than there exist RMIDs in the hardware, meaning that we have to perform
some kind of multiplexing.

We do this by "rotating" the RMIDs in a workqueue, and assigning an RMID
to a waiting event when the RMID becomes unused.

This scheme reserves one RMID at all times for rotation. When we need to
schedule a new event we give it the reserved RMID, pick a victim event
from the front of the global CQM list and wait for the victim's RMID to
drop to zero occupancy, before it becomes the new reserved RMID.

We put the victim's RMID onto the limbo list, where it resides for a
"minimum queue time", which is intended to save ourselves an expensive
smp IPI when the RMID is unlikely to have a occupancy value below
__intel_cqm_threshold.

If we fail to recycle an RMID, even after waiting the minimum queue time
then we need to increment __intel_cqm_threshold. There is an upper bound
on this threshold, __intel_cqm_max_threshold, which is programmable from
userland as /sys/devices/intel_cqm/max_recycling_threshold.

The comments above __intel_cqm_rmid_rotate() have more details.

      perf/x86/intel: Support task events with Intel CQM · bfe1fcd2
      由 Matt Fleming 提交于 
      Add support for task events as well as system-wide events. This change
has a big impact on the way that we gather LLC occupancy values in
intel_cqm_event_read().

Currently, for system-wide (per-cpu) events we defer processing to
userspace which knows how to discard all but one cpu result per package.

Things aren't so simple for task events because we need to do the value
aggregation ourselves. To do this, we defer updating the LLC occupancy
value in event->count from intel_cqm_event_read() and do an SMP
cross-call to read values for all packages in intel_cqm_event_count().
We need to ensure that we only do this for one task event per cache
group, otherwise we'll report duplicate values.

If we're a system-wide event we want to fallback to the default
perf_event_count() implementation. Refactor this into a common function
so that we don't duplicate the code.

Also, introduce PERF_TYPE_INTEL_CQM, since we need a way to track an
event's task (if the event isn't per-cpu) inside of the Intel CQM PMU
driver.  This task information is only availble in the upper layers of
the perf infrastructure.

Other perf backends stash the target task in event->hw.*target so we
need to do something similar. The task is used to determine whether
events should share a cache group and an RMID.

      由 Matt Fleming 提交于 
      It's possible to run into issues with re-using unused monitoring IDs
because there may be stale cachelines associated with that ID from a
previous allocation. This can cause the LLC occupancy values to be
inaccurate.

To attempt to mitigate this problem we place the IDs on a least recently
used list, essentially a FIFO. The basic idea is that the longer the
time period between ID re-use the lower the probability that stale
cachelines exist in the cache.

      Future Intel Xeon processors support a Cache QoS Monitoring feature that
allows tracking of the LLC occupancy for a task or task group, i.e. the
amount of data in pulled into the LLC for the task (group).

Currently the PMU only supports per-cpu events. We create an event for
each cpu and read out all the LLC occupancy values.

Because this results in duplicate values being written out to userspace,
we also export a .per-pkg event file so that the perf tools only
accumulate values for one cpu per package.

      x86/xen: allow privcmd hypercalls to be preempted · fdfd811d
      由 David Vrabel 提交于 
      Hypercalls submitted by user space tools via the privcmd driver can
take a long time (potentially many 10s of seconds) if the hypercall
has many sub-operations.

A fully preemptible kernel may deschedule such as task in any upcall
called from a hypercall continuation.

However, in a kernel with voluntary or no preemption, hypercall
continuations in Xen allow event handlers to be run but the task
issuing the hypercall will not be descheduled until the hypercall is
complete and the ioctl returns to user space.  These long running
tasks may also trigger the kernel's soft lockup detection.

Add xen_preemptible_hcall_begin() and xen_preemptible_hcall_end() to
bracket hypercalls that may be preempted.  Use these in the privcmd
driver.

When returning from an upcall, call xen_maybe_preempt_hcall() which
adds a schedule point if if the current task was within a preemptible
hypercall.

Since _cond_resched() can move the task to a different CPU, clear and
set xen_in_preemptible_hcall around the call.

      kprobes/x86: Use 5-byte NOP when the code might be modified by ftrace · 650b7b23
      由 Petr Mladek 提交于 
      can_probe() checks if the given address points to the beginning
of an instruction. It analyzes all the instructions from the
beginning of the function until the given address. The code
might be modified by another Kprobe. In this case, the current
code is read into a buffer, int3 breakpoint is replaced by the
saved opcode in the buffer, and can_probe() analyzes the buffer
instead.

There is a bug that __recover_probed_insn() tries to restore
the original code even for Kprobes using the ftrace framework.
But in this case, the opcode is not stored. See the difference
between arch_prepare_kprobe() and arch_prepare_kprobe_ftrace().
The opcode is stored by arch_copy_kprobe() only from
arch_prepare_kprobe().

This patch makes Kprobe to use the ideal 5-byte NOP when the
code can be modified by ftrace. It is the original instruction,
see ftrace_make_nop() and ftrace_nop_replace().

Note that we always need to use the NOP for ftrace locations.
Kprobes do not block ftrace and the instruction might get
modified at anytime. It might even be in an inconsistent state
because it is modified step by step using the int3 breakpoint.

The patch also fixes indentation of the touched comment.

Note that I found this problem when playing with Kprobes. I did
it on x86_64 with gcc-4.8.3 that supported -mfentry. I modified
samples/kprobes/kprobe_example.c and added offset 5 to put
the probe right after the fentry area:

 static struct kprobe kp = {
 	.symbol_name	= "do_fork",
+	.offset = 5,
 };

Then I was able to load kprobe_example before jprobe_example
but not the other way around:

  $> modprobe jprobe_example
  $> modprobe kprobe_example
  modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'kprobe_example': Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character

It did not make much sense and debugging pointed to the bug
described above.
