      perf_event: Fix broken calc_timer_values() · 7f310a5d
      Eric B Munson 提交于
      We detected a serious issue with PERF_SAMPLE_READ and
      timing information when events were being multiplexing.
      
      Samples would have time_running > time_enabled. That
      was easy to reproduce with a libpfm4 example (ran 3
      times to cause multiplexing on Core 2):
      
       $ syst_smpl -e uops_retired:freq=1 &
       $ syst_smpl -e uops_retired:freq=1 &
       $ syst_smpl -e uops_retired:freq=1 &
       IIP:0x0000000040062d ... PERIOD:2355332948 ENA=40144625315 RUN=60014875184
       syst_smpl: WARNING: time_running > time_enabled
      	63277537998 uops_retired:freq=1 , scaled
      
      The bug was not present in kernel up to (and including) 3.0. It turns
      out the bug was introduced by the following commit:
      
      commit c4794295
      
          events: Move lockless timer calculation into helper function
      
      The parameters of the function got reversed yet the call sites
      were not updated to reflect the change. That lead to time_running
      and time_enabled being swapped. That had no effect when there was
      no multiplexing because in that case time_running = time_enabled
      but it would show up in any other scenario.

      perf: provide PMU when initing events · 5f12a761
      Mark Rutland 提交于
      Currently, an event's 'pmu' field is set after pmu::event_init() is
      called. This means that pmu::event_init() must figure out which struct
      pmu the event was initialised from. This makes it difficult to
      consolidate common event initialisation code for similar PMUs, and
      very difficult to implement drivers for PMUs which can have multiple
      instances (e.g. a USB controller PMU, a GPU PMU, etc).
      
      This patch sets the 'pmu' field before initialising the event, allowing
      event init code to identify the struct pmu instance easily. In the
      event of failure to initialise an event, the event is destroyed via
      kfree() without calling perf_event::destroy(), so this shouldn't
      result in bad behaviour even if the destroy field was set before
      failure to initialise was noted.

      perf events: Fix slow and broken cgroup context switch code · a8d757ef
      Stephane Eranian 提交于
      The current cgroup context switch code was incorrect leading
      to bogus counts. Furthermore, as soon as there was an active
      cgroup event on a CPU, the context switch cost on that CPU
      would increase by a significant amount as demonstrated by a
      simple ping/pong example:
      
       $ ./pong
       Both processes pinned to CPU1, running for 10s
       10684.51 ctxsw/s
      
      Now start a cgroup perf stat:
       $ perf stat -e cycles,cycles -A -a -G test  -C 1 -- sleep 100
      
      $ ./pong
       Both processes pinned to CPU1, running for 10s
       6674.61 ctxsw/s
      
      That's a 37% penalty.
      
      Note that pong is not even in the monitored cgroup.
      
      The results shown by perf stat are bogus:
       $ perf stat -e cycles,cycles -A -a -G test  -C 1 -- sleep 100
      
       Performance counter stats for 'sleep 100':
      
       CPU1 <not counted> cycles   test
       CPU1 16,984,189,138 cycles  #    0.000 GHz
      
      The second 'cycles' event should report a count @ CPU clock
      (here 2.4GHz) as it is counting across all cgroups.
      
      The patch below fixes the bogus accounting and bypasses any
      cgroup switches in case the outgoing and incoming tasks are
      in the same cgroup.
      
      With this patch the same test now yields:
       $ ./pong
       Both processes pinned to CPU1, running for 10s
       10775.30 ctxsw/s
      
      Start perf stat with cgroup:
      
       $ perf stat -e cycles,cycles -A -a -G test  -C 1 -- sleep 10
      
      Run pong outside the cgroup:
       $ /pong
       Both processes pinned to CPU1, running for 10s
       10687.80 ctxsw/s
      
      The penalty is now less than 2%.
      
      And the results for perf stat are correct:
      
      $ perf stat -e cycles,cycles -A -a -G test  -C 1 -- sleep 10
      
       Performance counter stats for 'sleep 10':
      
       CPU1 <not counted> cycles test #    0.000 GHz
       CPU1 23,933,981,448 cycles      #    0.000 GHz
      
      Now perf stat reports the correct counts for
      for the non cgroup event.
      
      If we run pong inside the cgroup, then we also get the
      correct counts:
      
      $ perf stat -e cycles,cycles -A -a -G test  -C 1 -- sleep 10
      
       Performance counter stats for 'sleep 10':
      
       CPU1 22,297,726,205 cycles test #    0.000 GHz
       CPU1 23,933,981,448 cycles      #    0.000 GHz
