      perf/abi: Change the errno for sampling event not supported in hardware · a1396555
      Vineet Gupta 提交于
      Change the return code for sampling event not supported from -ENOTSUPP
      to -EOPNOTSUPP.
      
      This allows userspace to identify this case specifically, instead of
      printing the catch-all error message it did previously.
      
      Technically this is an ABI change, but we think we can get away
      with it.
      
      Old behavior:
       -------
       | # perf record ls
       | Error:
       | The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 524 (Unknown error 524)
       | for event (cycles:ppp).
       | /bin/dmesg may provide additional information.
       | No CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS=y kernel support configured?
      
      New behavior:
       -------
       | # perf record ls
       | Error:
       | PMU Hardware doesn't support sampling/overflow-interrupts.

      perf/core: Fix implicitly enable dynamic interrupt throttle · ab7fdefb
      Kan Liang 提交于
      This patch fixes an issue which was introduced by commit:
      
        91a612ee ("perf/core: Fix dynamic interrupt throttle")
      
      ... which commit unconditionally sets the perf_sample_allowed_ns value
      to !0. But that could trigger a bug in the following corner case:
      
      The user can disable the dynamic interrupt throttle mechanism by setting
      perf_cpu_time_max_percent to 0. Then they change perf_event_max_sample_rate.
      For this case, the mechanism will be enabled implicitly, because
      perf_sample_allowed_ns becomes !0 - which is not what we want.
      
      This patch only updates perf_sample_allowed_ns when the dynamic
      interrupt throttle mechanism is enabled.

      perf/core: Rename the perf_event_aux*() APIs to perf_event_sb*(), to separate them from AUX ring-buffer records
      
      There are now two different things called AUX in perf, the
      infrastructure to deliver the mmap/comm/task records and the
      AUX part in the mmap buffer (with associated AUX_RECORD).
      
      Since the former is internal, rename it to side-band to reduce
      the confusion factor.

      perf/core: Optimize side-band event delivery · f2fb6bef
      Kan Liang 提交于
      The perf_event_aux() function iterates all PMUs and all events in
      their respective per-CPU contexts to find the events to deliver
      side-band records to.
      
      For example, the brk test case in lkp triggers many mmap() operations,
      which, if we're also running perf, results in many perf_event_aux()
      invocations.
      
      If we enable uncore PMU support (even when uncore events are not used),
      dozens of uncore PMUs will be iterated, which can significantly
      decrease brk_test's throughput.
      
      For example, the brk throughput:
      
        without uncore PMUs: 2647573 ops_per_sec
        with    uncore PMUs: 1768444 ops_per_sec
      
      ... a 33% reduction.
      
      To get at the per-CPU events that need side-band records, this patch
      puts these events on a per-CPU list, this avoids iterating the PMUs
      and any events that do not need side-band records.
      
      Per task events are unchanged to avoid extra overhead on the context
      switch paths.

      Jann reported that the ptrace_may_access() check in
      find_lively_task_by_vpid() is racy against exec().
      
      Specifically:
      
        perf_event_open()		execve()
      
        ptrace_may_access()
      				commit_creds()

      				  perf_event_exit_task();
        perf_install_in_context()
      
      would result in installing a counter across the creds boundary.
      
      Fix this by wrapping lots of perf_event_open() in cred_guard_mutex.
      This should be fine as perf_event_exit_task() is already called with
      cred_guard_mutex held, so all perf locks already nest inside it.

      perf/core: Add ::write_backward attribute to perf event · 9ecda41a
      Wang Nan 提交于
      This patch introduces 'write_backward' bit to perf_event_attr, which
      controls the direction of a ring buffer. After set, the corresponding
      ring buffer is written from end to beginning. This feature is design to
      support reading from overwritable ring buffer.
      
      Ring buffer can be created by mapping a perf event fd. Kernel puts event
      records into ring buffer, user tooling like perf fetch them from
      address returned by mmap(). To prevent racing between kernel and tooling,
      they communicate to each other through 'head' and 'tail' pointers.
      Kernel maintains 'head' pointer, points it to the next free area (tail
      of the last record). Tooling maintains 'tail' pointer, points it to the
      tail of last consumed record (record has already been fetched). Kernel
      determines the available space in a ring buffer using these two
      pointers to avoid overwrite unfetched records.
      
      By mapping without 'PROT_WRITE', an overwritable ring buffer is created.
      Different from normal ring buffer, tooling is unable to maintain 'tail'
      pointer because writing is forbidden. Therefore, for this type of ring
      buffers, kernel overwrite old records unconditionally, works like flight
      recorder. This feature would be useful if reading from overwritable ring
      buffer were as easy as reading from normal ring buffer. However,
      there's an obscure problem.
      
      The following figure demonstrates a full overwritable ring buffer. In
      this figure, the 'head' pointer points to the end of last record, and a
      long record 'E' is pending. For a normal ring buffer, a 'tail' pointer
      would have pointed to position (X), so kernel knows there's no more
      space in the ring buffer. However, for an overwritable ring buffer,
      kernel ignore the 'tail' pointer.
      
         (X)                              head
          .                                |
          .                                V
          +------+-------+----------+------+---+
          |A....A|B.....B|C........C|D....D|   |
          +------+-------+----------+------+---+
      
      Record 'A' is overwritten by event 'E':
      
            head
             |
             V
          +--+---+-------+----------+------+---+
          |.E|..A|B.....B|C........C|D....D|E..|
          +--+---+-------+----------+------+---+
      
      Now tooling decides to read from this ring buffer. However, none of these
      two natural positions, 'head' and the start of this ring buffer, are
      pointing to the head of a record. Even the full ring buffer can be
      accessed by tooling, it is unable to find a position to start decoding.
      
      The first attempt tries to solve this problem AFAIK can be found from
      [1]. It makes kernel to maintain 'tail' pointer: updates it when ring
      buffer is half full. However, this approach introduces overhead to
      fast path. Test result shows a 1% overhead [2]. In addition, this method
      utilizes no more tham 50% records.
      
      Another attempt can be found from [3], which allows putting the size of
      an event at the end of each record. This approach allows tooling to find
      records in a backward manner from 'head' pointer by reading size of a
      record from its tail. However, because of alignment requirement, it
      needs 8 bytes to record the size of a record, which is a huge waste. Its
      performance is also not good, because more data need to be written.
      This approach also introduces some extra branch instructions to fast
      path.
      
      'write_backward' is a better solution to this problem.
      
      Following figure demonstrates the state of the overwritable ring buffer
      when 'write_backward' is set before overwriting:
      
             head
              |
              V
          +---+------+----------+-------+------+
          |   |D....D|C........C|B.....B|A....A|
          +---+------+----------+-------+------+
      
      and after overwriting:
                                           head
                                            |
                                            V
          +---+------+----------+-------+---+--+
          |..E|D....D|C........C|B.....B|A..|E.|
          +---+------+----------+-------+---+--+
      
      In each situation, 'head' points to the beginning of the newest record.
      From this record, tooling can iterate over the full ring buffer and fetch
      records one by one.
      
      The only limitation that needs to be considered is back-to-back reading.
      Due to the non-deterministic of user programs, it is impossible to ensure
      the ring buffer keeps stable during reading. Consider an extreme situation:
      tooling is scheduled out after reading record 'D', then a burst of events
      come, eat up the whole ring buffer (one or multiple rounds). When the
      tooling process comes back, reading after 'D' is incorrect now.
      
      To prevent this problem, we need to find a way to ensure the ring buffer
      is stable during reading. ioctl(PERF_EVENT_IOC_PAUSE_OUTPUT) is
      suggested because its overhead is lower than
      ioctl(PERF_EVENT_IOC_ENABLE).
      
      By carefully verifying 'header' pointer, reader can avoid pausing the
      ring-buffer. For example:
      
          /* A union of all possible events */
          union perf_event event;
      
          p = head = perf_mmap__read_head();
          while (true) {
              /* copy header of next event */
              fetch(&event.header, p, sizeof(event.header));
      
              /* read 'head' pointer */
              head = perf_mmap__read_head();
      
              /* check overwritten: is the header good? */
              if (!verify(sizeof(event.header), p, head))
                  break;
      
              /* copy the whole event */
              fetch(&event, p, event.header.size);
      
              /* read 'head' pointer again */
              head = perf_mmap__read_head();
      
              /* is the whole event good? */
              if (!verify(event.header.size, p, head))
                  break;
              p += event.header.size;
          }
      
      However, the overhead is high because:
      
       a) In-place decoding is not safe.
          Copying-verifying-decoding is required.
       b) Fetching 'head' pointer requires additional synchronization.
      
      (From Alexei Starovoitov:
      
      Even when this trick works, pause is needed for more than stability of
      reading. When we collect the events into overwrite buffer we're waiting
      for some other trigger (like all cpu utilization spike or just one cpu
      running and all others are idle) and when it happens the buffer has
      valuable info from the past. At this point new events are no longer
      interesting and buffer should be paused, events read and unpaused until
      next trigger comes.)
      
      This patch utilizes event's default overflow_handler introduced
      previously. perf_event_output_backward() is created as the default
      overflow handler for backward ring buffers. To avoid extra overhead to
      fast path, original perf_event_output() becomes __perf_event_output()
      and marked '__always_inline'. In theory, there's no extra overhead
      introduced to fast path.
      
      Performance testing:
      
      Calling 3000000 times of 'close(-1)', use gettimeofday() to check
      duration.  Use 'perf record -o /dev/null -e raw_syscalls:*' to capture
      system calls. In ns.
      
      Testing environment:
      
        CPU    : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4790 CPU @ 3.60GHz
        Kernel : v4.5.0
                          MEAN         STDVAR

       PRE2           2257495.540    8516.293
       POST           2250896.100    8933.921
      
      Where 'BASE' is pure performance without capturing. 'PRE1' is test
      result of pure 'v4.5.0' kernel. 'PRE2' is test result before this
      patch. 'POST' is test result after this patch. See [4] for the detailed
      experimental setup.
      
      Considering the stdvar, this patch doesn't introduce performance
      overhead to the fast path.

      perf/core: Set event's default ::overflow_handler() · 1879445d
      Wang Nan 提交于
      Set a default event->overflow_handler in perf_event_alloc() so don't
      need to check event->overflow_handler in __perf_event_overflow().
      Following commits can give a different default overflow_handler.
      
      Initial idea comes from Peter:
      
        http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20130708121557.GA17211@twins.programming.kicks-ass.net
      
      Since the default value of event->overflow_handler is not NULL, existing
      'if (!overflow_handler)' checks need to be changed.
      
      is_default_overflow_handler() is introduced for this.
      
      No extra performance overhead is introduced into the hot path because in the
      original code we still need to read this handler from memory. A conditional
      branch is avoided so actually we remove some instructions.

      perf/ring_buffer: Introduce new ioctl options to pause and resume the ring-buffer · 86e7972f
      Wang Nan 提交于
      Add new ioctl() to pause/resume ring-buffer output.
      
      In some situations we want to read from the ring-buffer only when we
      ensure nothing can write to the ring-buffer during reading. Without
      this patch we have to turn off all events attached to this ring-buffer
      to achieve this.
      
      This patch is a prerequisite to enable overwrite support for the
      perf ring-buffer support. Following commits will introduce new methods
      support reading from overwrite ring buffer. Before reading, caller
      must ensure the ring buffer is frozen, or the reading is unreliable.

      perf/core: Free AUX pages in unmap path · 95ff4ca2
      Alexander Shishkin 提交于
      Now that we can ensure that when ring buffer's AUX area is on the way
      to getting unmapped new transactions won't start, we only need to stop
      all events that can potentially be writing aux data to our ring buffer.
      
      Having done that, we can safely free the AUX pages and corresponding
      PMU data, as this time it is guaranteed to be the last aux reference
      holder.
      
      This partially reverts:
      
        57ffc5ca ("perf: Fix AUX buffer refcounting")
      
      ... which was made to defer deallocation that was otherwise possible
      from an NMI context. Now it is no longer the case; the last call to
      rb_free_aux() that drops the last AUX reference has to happen in
      perf_mmap_close() on that AUX area.

      There should (and can) only be a single PMU for perf_hw_context
      events.
      
      This is because of how we schedule events: once a hardware event fails to
      schedule (the PMU is 'full') we stop trying to add more. The trivial
      'fix' would break the Round-Robin scheduling we do.

      Fix this by always updating time if EVENT_TIME was set, as opposed to
      only updating time when EVENT_TIME changed.

      perf/core: Fix dynamic interrupt throttle · 91a612ee
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      There were two problems with the dynamic interrupt throttle mechanism,
      both triggered by the same action.
      
      When you (or perf_fuzzer) write a huge value into
      /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate the computed
      perf_sample_allowed_ns becomes 0. This effectively disables the whole
      dynamic throttle.
      
      This is fixed by ensuring update_perf_cpu_limits() never sets the
      value to 0. However, we allow disabling of the dynamic throttle by
      writing 100 to /proc/sys/kernel/perf_cpu_time_max_percent. This will
      generate a warning in dmesg.
      
      The second problem is that by setting the max_sample_rate to a huge
      number, the adaptive process can take a few tries, since it halfs the
      limit each time. Change that to directly compute a new value based on
      the observed duration.

      perf: Migrate perf to use new tick dependency mask model · 555e0c1e
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      Instead of providing asynchronous checks for the nohz subsystem to verify
      perf event tick dependency, migrate perf to the new mask.
      
      Perf needs the tick for two situations:
      
      1) Freq events. We could set the tick dependency when those are
      installed on a CPU context. But setting a global dependency on top of
      the global freq events accounting is much easier. If people want that
      to be optimized, we can still refine that on the per-CPU tick dependency
      level. This patch dooesn't change the current behaviour anyway.
      
      2) Throttled events: this is a per-cpu dependency.

      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      The recent commit 3e349507 ("perf: Fix perf_enable_on_exec() event
      scheduling") caused this by moving task_ctx_sched_out() from before
      __perf_event_mask_enable() to after it.
      
      The overlooked consequence of that change is that task_ctx_sched_out()
      would update the ctx time fields, and now __perf_event_mask_enable()
      uses stale time.
      
      In order to fix this, explicitly stop our context's time before
      enabling the event(s).

      perf: Fix ctx time tracking by introducing EVENT_TIME · 3cbaa590
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      Currently any ctx_sched_in() call will re-start the ctx time tracking,
      this means that calls like:
      
      	ctx_sched_in(.event_type = EVENT_PINNED);
      	ctx_sched_in(.event_type = EVENT_FLEXIBLE);
      
      will have a hole in their ctx time tracking. This is likely harmless
      but can confuse things a little. By adding EVENT_TIME, we can have the
      first ctx_sched_in() (is_active: 0 -> !0) start the time and any
      further ctx_sched_in() will leave the timestamps alone.
      
      Secondly, this allows for an early disable like:
      
      	ctx_sched_out(.event_type = EVENT_TIME);
      
      which would update the ctx time (if the ctx is active) and any further
      calls to ctx_sched_out() would not further modify the ctx time.
      
      For ctx_sched_in() any 0 -> !0 transition will automatically include
      EVENT_TIME.
      
      For ctx_sched_out(), any transition that clears EVENT_ALL will
      automatically clear EVENT_TIME.
      
      These two rules ensure that under normal circumstances we need not
      bother with EVENT_TIME and get natural ctx time behaviour.

      perf: Cure event->pending_disable race · 28a967c3
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      Because event_sched_out() checks event->pending_disable _before_
      actually disabling the event, it can happen that the event fires after
      it checks but before it gets disabled.
      
      This would leave event->pending_disable set and the queued irq_work
      will try and process it.
      
      However, if the event trigger was during schedule(), the event might
      have been de-scheduled by the time the irq_work runs, and
      perf_event_disable_local() will fail.
      
      Fix this by checking event->pending_disable _after_ we call
      event->pmu->del(). This depends on the latter being a compiler
      barrier, such that the compiler does not lift the load and re-creates
      the problem.

    • P
      perf: Fix race between event install and jump_labels · 9107c89e
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      perf_install_in_context() relies upon the context switch hooks to have
      scheduled in events when the IPI misses its target -- after all, if
      the task has moved from the CPU (or wasn't running at all), it will
      have to context switch to run elsewhere.
      
      This however doesn't appear to be happening.
      
      It is possible for the IPI to not happen (task wasn't running) only to
      later observe the task running with an inactive context.
      
      The only possible explanation is that the context switch hooks are not
      called. Therefore put in a sync_sched() after toggling the jump_label
      to guarantee all CPUs will have them enabled before we install an
      event.
      
      A simple if (0->1) sync_sched() will not in fact work, because any
      further increment can race and complete before the sync_sched().
      Therefore we must jump through some hoops.

      perf: Fix cloning · a69b0ca4
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      Alexander reported that when the 'original' context gets destroyed, no
      new clones happen.
      
      This can happen irrespective of the ctx switch optimization, any task
      can die, even the parent, and we want to continue monitoring the task
      hierarchy until we either close the event or no tasks are left in the
      hierarchy.
      
      perf_event_init_context() will attempt to pin the 'parent' context
      during clone(). At that point current is the parent, and since current
      cannot have exited while executing clone(), its context cannot have
      passed through perf_event_exit_task_context(). Therefore
      perf_pin_task_context() cannot observe ctx->task == TASK_TOMBSTONE.
      
      However, since inherit_event() does:
      
      	if (parent_event->parent)
      		parent_event = parent_event->parent;
      
      it looks at the 'original' event when it does: is_orphaned_event().
      This can return true if the context that contains the this event has
      passed through perf_event_exit_task_context(). And thus we'll fail to
      clone the perf context.
      
      Fix this by adding a new state: STATE_DEAD, which is set by
      perf_release() to indicate that the filedesc (or kernel reference) is
      dead and there are no observers for our data left.
      
      Only for STATE_DEAD will is_orphaned_event() be true and inhibit
      cloning.
      
      STATE_EXIT is otherwise preserved such that is_event_hup() remains
      functional and will report when the observed task hierarchy becomes
      empty.
