      perf_counter: theres more to overflow than writing events · f6c7d5fe
      由 Peter Zijlstra 提交于 
      Prepare for more generic overflow handling. The new perf_counter_overflow()
method will handle the generic bits of the counter overflow, and can return
a !0 return value, in which case the counter should be (soft) disabled, so
that it won't count until it's properly disabled.

      perf_counter: make it possible for hw_perf_counter_init to return error codes · d5d2bc0d
      由 Paul Mackerras 提交于 
      Impact: better error reporting

At present, if hw_perf_counter_init encounters an error, all it can do
is return NULL, which causes sys_perf_counter_open to return an EINVAL
error to userspace.  This isn't very informative for userspace; it means
that userspace can't tell the difference between "sorry, oprofile is
already using the PMU" and "we don't support this CPU" and "this CPU
doesn't support the requested generic hardware event".

This commit uses the PTR_ERR/ERR_PTR/IS_ERR set of macros to let
hw_perf_counter_init return an error code on error rather than just NULL
if it wishes.  If it does so, that error code will be returned from
sys_perf_counter_open to userspace.  If it returns NULL, an EINVAL
error will be returned to userspace, as before.

This also adapts the powerpc hw_perf_counter_init to make use of this
to return ENXIO, EINVAL, EBUSY, or EOPNOTSUPP as appropriate.  It would
be good to add extra error numbers in future to allow userspace to
distinguish the various errors that are currently reported as EINVAL,
i.e. irq_period < 0, too many events in a group, conflict between
exclude_* settings in a group, and PMU resource conflict in a group.

[ v2: fix a bug pointed out by Corey Ashford where error returns from
      hw_perf_counter_init were not handled correctly in the case of
      raw hardware events.]

      perf_counter: powerpc: only reserve PMU hardware when we need it · 7595d63b
      由 Paul Mackerras 提交于 
      Impact: cooperate with oprofile

At present, on PowerPC, if you have perf_counters compiled in, oprofile
doesn't work.  There is code to allow the PMU to be shared between
competing subsystems, such as perf_counters and oprofile, but currently
the perf_counter subsystem reserves the PMU for itself at boot time,
and never releases it.

This makes perf_counter play nicely with oprofile.  Now we keep a count
of how many perf_counter instances are counting hardware events, and
reserve the PMU when that count becomes non-zero, and release the PMU
when that count becomes zero.  This means that it is possible to have
perf_counters compiled in and still use oprofile, as long as there are
no hardware perf_counters active.  This also means that if oprofile is
active, sys_perf_counter_open will fail if the hw_event specifies a
hardware event.

To avoid races with other tasks creating and destroying perf_counters,
we use a mutex.  We use atomic_inc_not_zero and atomic_add_unless to
avoid having to take the mutex unless there is a possibility of the
count going between 0 and 1.

      perf_counter: unify and fix delayed counter wakeup · 925d519a
      由 Peter Zijlstra 提交于 
      While going over the wakeup code I noticed delayed wakeups only work
for hardware counters but basically all software counters rely on
them.

This patch unifies and generalizes the delayed wakeup to fix this
issue.

Since we're dealing with NMI context bits here, use a cmpxchg() based
single link list implementation to track counters that have pending
wakeups.

[ This should really be generic code for delayed wakeups, but since we
  cannot use cmpxchg()/xchg() in generic code, I've let it live in the
  perf_counter code. -- Eric Dumazet could use it to aggregate the
  network wakeups. ]

Furthermore, the x86 method of using TIF flags was flawed in that its
quite possible to end up setting the bit on the idle task, loosing the
wakeup.

The powerpc method uses per-cpu storage and does appear to be
sufficient.

      perf_counter: record time running and time enabled for each counter · 53cfbf59
      由 Paul Mackerras 提交于 
      Impact: new functionality

Currently, if there are more counters enabled than can fit on the CPU,
the kernel will multiplex the counters on to the hardware using
round-robin scheduling.  That isn't too bad for sampling counters, but
for counting counters it means that the value read from a counter
represents some unknown fraction of the true count of events that
occurred while the counter was enabled.

This remedies the situation by keeping track of how long each counter
is enabled for, and how long it is actually on the cpu and counting
events.  These times are recorded in nanoseconds using the task clock
for per-task counters and the cpu clock for per-cpu counters.

These values can be supplied to userspace on a read from the counter.
Userspace requests that they be supplied after the counter value by
setting the PERF_FORMAT_TOTAL_TIME_ENABLED and/or
PERF_FORMAT_TOTAL_TIME_RUNNING bits in the hw_event.read_format field
when creating the counter.  (There is no way to change the read format
after the counter is created, though it would be possible to add some
way to do that.)

Using this information it is possible for userspace to scale the count
it reads from the counter to get an estimate of the true count:

true_count_estimate = count * total_time_enabled / total_time_running

This also lets userspace detect the situation where the counter never
got to go on the cpu: total_time_running == 0.

This functionality has been requested by the PAPI developers, and will
be generally needed for interpreting the count values from counting
counters correctly.

In the implementation, this keeps 5 time values (in nanoseconds) for
each counter: total_time_enabled and total_time_running are used when
the counter is in state OFF or ERROR and for reporting back to
userspace.  When the counter is in state INACTIVE or ACTIVE, it is the
tstamp_enabled, tstamp_running and tstamp_stopped values that are
relevant, and total_time_enabled and total_time_running are determined
from them.  (tstamp_stopped is only used in INACTIVE state.)  The
reason for doing it like this is that it means that only counters
being enabled or disabled at sched-in and sched-out time need to be
updated.  There are no new loops that iterate over all counters to
update total_time_enabled or total_time_running.

This also keeps separate child_total_time_running and
child_total_time_enabled fields that get added in when reporting the
totals to userspace.  They are separate fields so that they can be
atomic.  We don't want to use atomics for total_time_running,
total_time_enabled etc., because then we would have to use atomic
sequences to update them, which are slower than regular arithmetic and
memory accesses.

It is possible to measure total_time_running by adding a task_clock
counter to each group of counters, and total_time_enabled can be
measured approximately with a top-level task_clock counter (though
inaccuracies will creep in if you need to disable and enable groups
since it is not possible in general to disable/enable the top-level
task_clock counter simultaneously with another group).  However, that
adds extra overhead - I measured around 15% increase in the context
switch latency reported by lat_ctx (from lmbench) when a task_clock
counter was added to each of 2 groups, and around 25% increase when a
task_clock counter was added to each of 4 groups.  (In both cases a
top-level task-clock counter was also added.)

In contrast, the code added in this commit gives better information
with no overhead that I could measure (in fact in some cases I
measured lower times with this code, but the differences were all less
than one standard deviation).

      perf_counter: new output ABI - part 1 · 7b732a75
      由 Peter Zijlstra 提交于 
      Impact: Rework the perfcounter output ABI

use sys_read() only for instant data and provide mmap() output for all
async overflow data.

The first mmap() determines the size of the output buffer. The mmap()
size must be a PAGE_SIZE multiple of 1+pages, where pages must be a
power of 2 or 0. Further mmap()s of the same fd must have the same
size. Once all maps are gone, you can again mmap() with a new size.

In case of 0 extra pages there is no data output and the first page
only contains meta data.

When there are data pages, a poll() event will be generated for each
full page of data. Furthermore, the output is circular. This means
that although 1 page is a valid configuration, its useless, since
we'll start overwriting it the instant we report a full page.

Future work will focus on the output format (currently maintained)
where we'll likey want each entry denoted by a header which includes a
type and length.

Further future work will allow to splice() the fd, also containing the
async overflow data -- splice() would be mutually exclusive with
mmap() of the data.

      perf_counter: add an mmap method to allow userspace to read hardware counters · 37d81828
      由 Paul Mackerras 提交于 
      Impact: new feature giving performance improvement

This adds the ability for userspace to do an mmap on a hardware counter
fd and get access to a read-only page that contains the information
needed to translate a hardware counter value to the full 64-bit
counter value that would be returned by a read on the fd.  This is
useful on architectures that allow user programs to read the hardware
counters, such as PowerPC.

The mmap will only succeed if the counter is a hardware counter
monitoring the current process.

On my quad 2.5GHz PowerPC 970MP machine, userspace can read a counter
and translate it to the full 64-bit value in about 30ns using the
mmapped page, compared to about 830ns for the read syscall on the
counter, so this does give a significant performance improvement.

      perf_counter: fix type/event_id layout on big-endian systems · 9aaa131a
      由 Paul Mackerras 提交于 
      Impact: build fix for powerpc

Commit db3a944aca35ae61 ("perf_counter: revamp syscall input ABI")
expanded the hw_event.type field into a union of structs containing
bitfields.  In particular it introduced a type field and a raw_type
field, with the intention that the 1-bit raw_type field should
overlay the most-significant bit of the 8-bit type field, and in fact
perf_counter_alloc() now assumes that (or at least, assumes that
raw_type doesn't overlay any of the bits that are 1 in the values of
PERF_TYPE_{HARDWARE,SOFTWARE,TRACEPOINT}).

Unfortunately this is not true on big-endian systems such as PowerPC,
where bitfields are laid out from left to right, i.e. from most
significant bit to least significant.  This means that setting
hw_event.type = PERF_TYPE_SOFTWARE will set hw_event.raw_type to 1.

This fixes it by making the layout depend on whether or not
__BIG_ENDIAN_BITFIELD is defined.  It's a bit ugly, but that's what
we get for using bitfields in a user/kernel ABI.

Also, that commit didn't fix up some places in arch/powerpc/kernel/
perf_counter.c where hw_event.raw and hw_event.event_id were used.
This fixes them too.

The hardware/software classification in hw_event->type became a little

Instead split up the field and provide a type field to explicitly specify

      perf_counter: abstract wakeup flag setting in core to fix powerpc build · b6c5a71d
      由 Paul Mackerras 提交于 
      Impact: build fix for powerpc

Commit bd753921015e7905 ("perf_counter: software counter event
infrastructure") introduced a use of TIF_PERF_COUNTERS into the core
perfcounter code.  This breaks the build on powerpc because we use
a flag in a per-cpu area to signal wakeups on powerpc rather than
a thread_info flag, because the thread_info flags have to be
manipulated with atomic operations and are thus slower than per-cpu
flags.

This fixes the by changing the core to use an abstracted
set_perf_counter_pending() function, which is defined on x86 to set
the TIF_PERF_COUNTERS flag and on powerpc to set the per-cpu flag
(paca->perf_counter_pending).  It changes the previous powerpc
definition of set_perf_counter_pending to not take an argument and
adds a clear_perf_counter_pending, so as to simplify the definition
on x86.

On x86, set_perf_counter_pending() is defined as a macro.  Defining
it as a static inline in arch/x86/include/asm/perf_counters.h causes
compile failures because <asm/perf_counters.h> gets included early in
<linux/sched.h>, and the definitions of set_tsk_thread_flag etc. are
therefore not available in <asm/perf_counters.h>.  (On powerpc this
problem is avoided by defining set_perf_counter_pending etc. in
<asm/hw_irq.h>.)

      proc 2/2: remove struct proc_dir_entry::owner · 99b76233
      由 Alexey Dobriyan 提交于 
      Setting ->owner as done currently (pde->owner = THIS_MODULE) is racy
as correctly noted at bug #12454. Someone can lookup entry with NULL
->owner, thus not pinning enything, and release it later resulting
in module refcount underflow.

We can keep ->owner and supply it at registration time like ->proc_fops
and ->data.

But this leaves ->owner as easy-manipulative field (just one C assignment)
and somebody will forget to unpin previous/pin current module when
switching ->owner. ->proc_fops is declared as "const" which should give
some thoughts.

->read_proc/->write_proc were just fixed to not require ->owner for
protection.

rmmod'ed directories will be empty and return "." and ".." -- no harm.
And directories with tricky enough readdir and lookup shouldn't be modular.
We definitely don't want such modular code.

Removing ->owner will also make PDE smaller.

So, let's nuke it.

Kudos to Jeff Layton for reminding about this, let's say, oversight.

the signal handling code uses the passed value directly for allocating signal
stack frames.

This fixes the issue by introducing a get_clean_sp function that returns a
sanitized stack pointer.  For 32-bit tasks on a 64-bit kernel, the stack
pointer is masked correctly.  In all other cases, the stack pointer is simply
returned.

Additionally, we pass an 'is_32' parameter to get_sigframe now in order to
get the properly sanitized stack.  The callers are know to be 32 or 64-bit
statically.
