      This output:

        Performance counter stats for './hello':
                140131  instructions         (events)
               1906968  instructions         (events)
      
      Is quite confusing - as :k means "user instructions", :u means
      "kernel instructions".
      
      Flip them around - as the 'exclude' property is not intuitive in
      the flag naming.

      perf_counter: Optimize context switch between identical inherited contexts · 564c2b21
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      When monitoring a process and its descendants with a set of inherited
      counters, we can often get the situation in a context switch where
      both the old (outgoing) and new (incoming) process have the same set
      of counters, and their values are ultimately going to be added together.
      In that situation it doesn't matter which set of counters are used to
      count the activity for the new process, so there is really no need to
      go through the process of reading the hardware counters and updating
      the old task's counters and then setting up the PMU for the new task.
      
      This optimizes the context switch in this situation.  Instead of
      scheduling out the perf_counter_context for the old task and
      scheduling in the new context, we simply transfer the old context
      to the new task and keep using it without interruption.  The new
      context gets transferred to the old task.  This means that both
      tasks still have a valid perf_counter_context, so no special case
      is introduced when the old task gets scheduled in again, either on
      this CPU or another CPU.
      
      The equivalence of contexts is detected by keeping a pointer in
      each cloned context pointing to the context it was cloned from.
      To cope with the situation where a context is changed by adding
      or removing counters after it has been cloned, we also keep a
      generation number on each context which is incremented every time
      a context is changed.  When a context is cloned we take a copy
      of the parent's generation number, and two cloned contexts are
      equivalent only if they have the same parent and the same
      generation number.  In order that the parent context pointer
      remains valid (and is not reused), we increment the parent
      context's reference count for each context cloned from it.
      
      Since we don't have individual fds for the counters in a cloned
      context, the only thing that can make two clones of a given parent
      different after they have been cloned is enabling or disabling all
      counters with prctl.  To account for this, we keep a count of the
      number of enabled counters in each context.  Two contexts must have
      the same number of enabled counters to be considered equivalent.
      
      Here are some measurements of the context switch time as measured with
      the lat_ctx benchmark from lmbench, comparing the times obtained with
      and without this patch series:
      
      		-----Unmodified-----		With this patch series
      Counters:	none	2 HW	4H+4S	none	2 HW	4H+4S
      
      2 processes:
      Average		3.44	6.45	11.24	3.12	3.39	3.60
      St dev		0.04	0.04	0.13	0.05	0.17	0.19
      
      8 processes:
      Average		6.45	8.79	14.00	5.57	6.23	7.57
      St dev		1.27	1.04	0.88	1.42	1.46	1.42
      
      32 processes:
      Average		5.56	8.43	13.78	5.28	5.55	7.15
      St dev		0.41	0.47	0.53	0.54	0.57	0.81
      
      The numbers are the mean and standard deviation of 20 runs of
      lat_ctx.  The "none" columns are lat_ctx run directly without any
      counters.  The "2 HW" columns are with lat_ctx run under perfstat,
      counting cycles and instructions.  The "4H+4S" columns are lat_ctx run
      under perfstat with 4 hardware counters and 4 software counters
      (cycles, instructions, cache references, cache misses, task
      clock, context switch, cpu migrations, and page faults).

      perf_counter: Dynamically allocate tasks' perf_counter_context struct · a63eaf34
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      This replaces the struct perf_counter_context in the task_struct with
      a pointer to a dynamically allocated perf_counter_context struct.  The
      main reason for doing is this is to allow us to transfer a
      perf_counter_context from one task to another when we do lazy PMU
      switching in a later patch.
      
      This has a few side-benefits: the task_struct becomes a little smaller,
      we save some memory because only tasks that have perf_counters attached
      get a perf_counter_context allocated for them, and we can remove the
      inclusion of <linux/perf_counter.h> in sched.h, meaning that we don't
      end up recompiling nearly everything whenever perf_counter.h changes.
      
      The perf_counter_context structures are reference-counted and freed
      when the last reference is dropped.  A context can have references
      from its task and the counters on its task.  Counters can outlive the
      task so it is possible that a context will be freed well after its
      task has exited.
      
      Contexts are allocated on fork if the parent had a context, or
      otherwise the first time that a per-task counter is created on a task.
      In the latter case, we set the context pointer in the task struct
      locklessly using an atomic compare-and-exchange operation in case we
      raced with some other task in creating a context for the subject task.
      
      This also removes the task pointer from the perf_counter struct.  The
      task pointer was not used anywhere and would make it harder to move a
      context from one task to another.  Anything that needed to know which
      task a counter was attached to was already using counter->ctx->task.
      
      The __perf_counter_init_context function moves up in perf_counter.c
      so that it can be called from find_get_context, and now initializes
      the refcount, but is otherwise unchanged.
      
      We were potentially calling list_del_counter twice: once from
      __perf_counter_exit_task when the task exits and once from
      __perf_counter_remove_from_context when the counter's fd gets closed.
      This adds a check in list_del_counter so it doesn't do anything if
      the counter has already been removed from the lists.
      
      Since perf_counter_task_sched_in doesn't do anything if the task doesn't
      have a context, and leaves cpuctx->task_ctx = NULL, this adds code to
      __perf_install_in_context to set cpuctx->task_ctx if necessary, i.e. in
      the case where the current task adds the first counter to itself and
      thus creates a context for itself.
      
      This also adds similar code to __perf_counter_enable to handle a
      similar situation which can arise when the counters have been disabled
      using prctl; that also leaves cpuctx->task_ctx = NULL.

      if it is not set (i.e. if the PMU is already enabled).
      
      Unfortunately the test got added before cpuhw was initialized,
      resulting in an oops the first time hw_perf_enable got called.
      This fixes it by moving the initialization of cpuhw to before
      cpuhw->disabled is tested.

      perf_counter: Fix counter inheritance · 856d56b9
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      Srivatsa Vaddagiri reported that a Java workload triggers this
      warning in kernel/exit.c:
      
         WARN_ON_ONCE(!list_empty(&tsk->perf_counter_ctx.counter_list));
      
      Add the inherited counter propagation on self-detach, this could
      cause counter leaks and incomplete stats in threaded code like
      the below:
      
        #include <pthread.h>
        #include <unistd.h>
      
        void *thread(void *arg)
        {
                sleep(5);
                return NULL;
        }
      
        void main(void)
        {
                pthread_t thr;
                pthread_create(&thr, NULL, thread, NULL);
        }

      perf_counter: Fix inheritance cleanup code · 8bc20959
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      Clean up code that open-coded the list_{add,del}_counter() code in
      __perf_counter_exit_task() which consequently diverged. This could
      lead to software counter crashes.
      
      Also, fold the ctx->nr_counter inc/dec into those functions and clean
      up some of the related code.
