      perf/core: Collapse more IPI loops · 7b648018
      由 Peter Zijlstra 提交于 
      This patch collapses the two 'hard' cases, which are
perf_event_{dis,en}able().

I cannot seem to convince myself the current code is correct.

So starting with perf_event_disable(); we don't strictly need to test
for event->state == ACTIVE, ctx->is_active is enough. If the event is
not scheduled while the ctx is, __perf_event_disable() still does the
right thing.  Its a little less efficient to IPI in that case,
over-all simpler.

For perf_event_enable(); the same goes, but I think that's actually
broken in its current form. The current condition is: ctx->is_active
&& event->state == OFF, that means it doesn't do anything when
!ctx->active && event->state == OFF. This is wrong, it should still
mark the event INACTIVE in that case, otherwise we'll still not try
and schedule the event once the context becomes active again.

This patch implements the two function using the new
event_function_call() and does away with the tricky event->state
tests.

      perf: Fix race in swevent hash · 12ca6ad2
      由 Peter Zijlstra 提交于 
      There's a race on CPU unplug where we free the swevent hash array
while it can still have events on. This will result in a
use-after-free which is BAD.

Simply do not free the hash array on unplug. This leaves the thing
around and no use-after-free takes place.

When the last swevent dies, we do a for_each_possible_cpu() iteration
anyway to clean these up, at which time we'll free it, so no leakage
will occur.

Which is a WARN_ON_ONCE() indicating that cpuctx->task_ctx is not
what we expected it to be.

This is because context switches can swap the task_struct::perf_event_ctxp[]
pointer around. Therefore you have to either disable preemption when looking
at current, or hold ctx->lock.

Fix perf_event_enable_on_exec(), it loads current->perf_event_ctxp[]
before disabling interrupts, therefore a preemption in the right place
can swap contexts around and we're using the wrong one.

      perf: Do not send exit event twice · 4e93ad60
      由 Jiri Olsa 提交于 
      In case we monitor events system wide, we get EXIT event
(when configured) twice for each task that exited.

Note doubled lines with same pid/tid in following example:

  $ sudo ./perf record -a

  2 60290692739910 0x69a50 [0x38]: PERF_RECORD_EXIT(1252:1252):(1252:1252)

The reason is that the cpu contexts are processes each time
we call perf_event_task. I'm changing the perf_event_aux logic
to serve task_ctx and cpu contexts separately, which ensure we
don't get EXIT event generated twice on same cpu context.

This does not affect other auxiliary events, as they don't
use task_ctx at all.

      cgroup: fix handling of multi-destination migration from subtree_control enabling · 1f7dd3e5
      由 Tejun Heo 提交于 
      Consider the following v2 hierarchy.

  P0 (+memory) --- P1 (-memory) --- A
                                 \- B
       
P0 has memory enabled in its subtree_control while P1 doesn't.  If
both A and B contain processes, they would belong to the memory css of
P1.  Now if memory is enabled on P1's subtree_control, memory csses
should be created on both A and B and A's processes should be moved to
the former and B's processes the latter.  IOW, enabling controllers
can cause atomic migrations into different csses.

The core cgroup migration logic has been updated accordingly but the
controller migration methods haven't and still assume that all tasks
migrate to a single target css; furthermore, the methods were fed the
css in which subtree_control was updated which is the parent of the
target csses.  pids controller depends on the migration methods to
move charges and this made the controller attribute charges to the
wrong csses often triggering the following warning by driving a
counter negative.

This patch fixes the bug by removing @css parameter from the three
migration methods, ->can_attach, ->cancel_attach() and ->attach() and
updating cgroup_taskset iteration helpers also return the destination
css in addition to the task being migrated.  All controllers are
updated accordingly.

* Controllers which don't care whether there are one or multiple
  target csses can be converted trivially.  cpu, io, freezer, perf,
  netclassid and netprio fall in this category.

* cpuset's current implementation assumes that there's single source
  and destination and thus doesn't support v2 hierarchy already.  The
  only change made by this patchset is how that single destination css
  is obtained.

* memory migration path already doesn't do anything on v2.  How the
  single destination css is obtained is updated and the prep stage of
  mem_cgroup_can_attach() is reordered to accomodate the change.

* pids is the only controller which was affected by this bug.  It now
  correctly handles multi-destination migrations and no longer causes
  counter underflow from incorrect accounting.

      cgroup: keep zombies associated with their original cgroups · 2e91fa7f
      由 Tejun Heo 提交于 
      cgroup_exit() is called when a task exits and disassociates the
exiting task from its cgroups and half-attach it to the root cgroup.
This is unnecessary and undesirable.

No controller actually needs an exiting task to be disassociated with
non-root cgroups.  Both cpu and perf_event controllers update the
association to the root cgroup from their exit callbacks just to keep
consistent with the cgroup core behavior.

Also, this disassociation makes it difficult to track resources held
by zombies or determine where the zombies came from.  Currently, pids
controller is completely broken as it uncharges on exit and zombies
always escape the resource restriction.  With cgroup association being
reset on exit, fixing it is pretty painful.

There's no reason to reset cgroup membership on exit.  The zombie can
be removed from its css_set so that it doesn't show up on
"cgroup.procs" and thus can't be migrated or interfere with cgroup
removal.  It can still pin and point to the css_set so that its cgroup
membership is maintained.  This patch makes cgroup core keep zombies
associated with their cgroups at the time of exit.

* Previous patches decoupled populated_cnt tracking from css_set
  lifetime, so a dying task can be simply unlinked from its css_set
  while pinning and pointing to the css_set.  This keeps css_set
  association from task side alive while hiding it from "cgroup.procs"
  and populated_cnt tracking.  The css_set reference is dropped when
  the task_struct is freed.

* ->exit() callback no longer needs the css arguments as the
  associated css never changes once PF_EXITING is set.  Removed.

* cpu and perf_events controllers no longer need ->exit() callbacks.
  There's no reason to explicitly switch away on exit.  The final
  schedule out is enough.  The callbacks are removed.

* On traditional hierarchies, nothing changes.  "/proc/PID/cgroup"
  still reports "/" for all zombies.  On the default hierarchy,
  "/proc/PID/cgroup" keeps reporting the cgroup that the task belonged
  to at the time of exit.  If the cgroup gets removed before the task
  is reaped, " (deleted)" is appended.

v2: Build brekage due to missing dummy cgroup_free() when
    !CONFIG_CGROUP fixed.

      perf: Fix races in computing the header sizes · f73e22ab
      由 Peter Zijlstra 提交于 
      There are two races with the current code:

 - Another event can join the group and compute a larger header_size
   concurrently, if the smaller store wins we'll have an incorrect
   header_size set.

 - We compute the header_size after the event becomes active,
   therefore its possible to use the size before its computed.

Remedy the first by moving the computation inside the ctx::mutex lock,
and the second by placing it _before_ perf_install_in_context().

      kexec: split kexec_load syscall from kexec core code · 2965faa5
      由 Dave Young 提交于 
      There are two kexec load syscalls, kexec_load another and kexec_file_load.
 kexec_file_load has been splited as kernel/kexec_file.c.  In this patch I
split kexec_load syscall code to kernel/kexec.c.

And add a new kconfig option KEXEC_CORE, so we can disable kexec_load and
use kexec_file_load only, or vice verse.

The original requirement is from Ted Ts'o, he want kexec kernel signature
being checked with CONFIG_KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG enabled.  But kexec-tools use
kexec_load syscall can bypass the checking.

Vivek Goyal proposed to create a common kconfig option so user can compile
in only one syscall for loading kexec kernel.  KEXEC/KEXEC_FILE selects
KEXEC_CORE so that old config files still work.

Because there's general code need CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE, so I updated all the
architecture Kconfig with a new option KEXEC_CORE, and let KEXEC selects
KEXEC_CORE in arch Kconfig.  Also updated general kernel code with to
kexec_load syscall.

      perf/x86/intel/pt: Do not force sync packets on every schedule-in · 9a6694cf
      由 Alexander Shishkin 提交于 
      Currently, the PT driver zeroes out the status register every time before
starting the event. However, all the writable bits are already taken care
of in pt_handle_status() function, except the new PacketByteCnt field,
which in new versions of PT contains the number of packet bytes written
since the last sync (PSB) packet. Zeroing it out before enabling PT forces
a sync packet to be written. This means that, with the existing code, a
sync packet (PSB and PSBEND, 18 bytes in total) will be generated every
time a PT event is scheduled in.

To avoid these unnecessary syncs and save a WRMSR in the fast path, this
patch changes the default behavior to not clear PacketByteCnt field, so
that the sync packets will be generated with the period specified as
"psb_period" attribute config field. This has little impact on the trace
data as the other packets that are normally sent within PSB+ (between PSB
and PSBEND) have their own generation scenarios which do not depend on the
sync packets.

One exception where we do need to force PSB like this when tracing starts,
so that the decoder has a clear sync point in the trace. For this purpose
we aready have hw::itrace_started flag, which we are currently using to
output PERF_RECORD_ITRACE_START. This patch moves setting itrace_started
from perf core to the pmu::start, where it should still be 0 on the very
first run.

      perf: Fix fasync handling on inherited events · fed66e2c
      由 Peter Zijlstra 提交于 
      Vince reported that the fasync signal stuff doesn't work proper for
inherited events. So fix that.

Installing fasync allocates memory and sets filp->f_flags |= FASYNC,
which upon the demise of the file descriptor ensures the allocation is
freed and state is updated.

Now for perf, we can have the events stick around for a while after the
original FD is dead because of references from child events. So we
cannot copy the fasync pointer around. We can however consistently use
the parent's fasync, as that will be updated.

      perf: Add PERF_RECORD_SWITCH to indicate context switches · 45ac1403
      由 Adrian Hunter 提交于 
      There are already two events for context switches, namely the tracepoint
sched:sched_switch and the software event context_switches.
Unfortunately neither are suitable for use by non-privileged users for
the purpose of synchronizing hardware trace data (e.g. Intel PT) to the
context switch.

Tracepoints are no good at all for non-privileged users because they
need either CAP_SYS_ADMIN or /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid <= -1.

On the other hand, kernel software events need either CAP_SYS_ADMIN or
/proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid <= 1.

Now many distributions do default perf_event_paranoid to 1 making
context_switches a contender, except it has another problem (which is
also shared with sched:sched_switch) which is that it happens before
perf schedules events out instead of after perf schedules events in.
Whereas a privileged user can see all the events anyway, a
non-privileged user only sees events for their own processes, in other
words they see when their process was scheduled out not when it was
scheduled in. That presents two problems to use the event:

1. the information comes too late, so tools have to look ahead in the
   event stream to find out what the current state is

2. if they are unlucky tracing might have stopped before the
   context-switches event is recorded.

This new PERF_RECORD_SWITCH event does not have those problems
and it also has a couple of other small advantages.

It is easier to use because it is an auxiliary event (like mmap, comm
and task events) which can be enabled by setting a single bit. It is
smaller than sched:sched_switch and easier to parse.

To make the event useful for privileged users also, if the
context is cpu-wide then the event record will be
PERF_RECORD_SWITCH_CPU_WIDE which is the same as
PERF_RECORD_SWITCH except it also provides the next or
previous pid/tid.

      perf: Fix ring_buffer_attach() RCU sync, again · 2f993cf0
      由 Oleg Nesterov 提交于 
      While looking for other users of get_state/cond_sync. I Found
ring_buffer_attach() and it looks obviously buggy?

Don't we need to ensure that we have "synchronize" _between_
list_del() and list_add() ?

IOW. Suppose that ring_buffer_attach() preempts right_after
get_state_synchronize_rcu() and gp completes before spin_lock().

In this case cond_synchronize_rcu() does nothing and we reuse
->rb_entry without waiting for gp in between?

It also moves the ->rcu_pending check under "if (rb)", to make it
more readable imo.

      After enlarging the PEBS interrupt threshold, there may be some mixed up
PEBS samples which are discarded by the kernel.

This patch makes the kernel emit a PERF_RECORD_LOST_SAMPLES record with
the number of possible discarded records when it is impossible to demux
the samples.

It makes sure the user is not left in the dark about such discards.

      perf/x86/intel: Handle multiple records in the PEBS buffer · 21509084
      由 Yan, Zheng 提交于 
      When the PEBS interrupt threshold is larger than one record and the
machine supports multiple PEBS events, the records of these events are
mixed up and we need to demultiplex them.

Demuxing the records is hard because the hardware is deficient. The
hardware has two issues that, when combined, create impossible
scenarios to demux.

The first issue is that the 'status' field of the PEBS record is a copy
of the GLOBAL_STATUS MSR at PEBS assist time. To see why this is a
problem let us first describe the regular PEBS cycle:

A) the CTRn value reaches 0:
  - the corresponding bit in GLOBAL_STATUS gets set
  - we start arming the hardware assist
  < some unspecified amount of time later -- this could cover multiple
    events of interest >

B) the hardware assist is armed, any next event will trigger it

C) a matching event happens:
  - the hardware assist triggers and generates a PEBS record
    this includes a copy of GLOBAL_STATUS at this moment
  - if we auto-reload we (re)set CTRn
  - we clear the relevant bit in GLOBAL_STATUS

Now consider the following chain of events:

  A0, B0, A1, C0

The event generated for counter 0 will include a status with counter 1
set, even though its not at all related to the record. A similar thing
can happen with a !PEBS event if it just happens to overflow at the
right moment.

The second issue is that the hardware will only emit one record for two
or more counters if the event that triggers the assist is 'close'. The
'close' can be several cycles. In some cases even the complete assist,
if the event is something that doesn't need retirement.

For instance, consider this chain of events:

  A0, B0, A1, B1, C01

Where C01 is an event that triggers both hardware assists, we will
generate but a single record, but again with both counters listed in the
status field.

This time the record pertains to both events.

Note that these two cases are different but undistinguishable with the
data as generated. Therefore demuxing records with multiple PEBS bits
(we can safely ignore status bits for !PEBS counters) is impossible.

Furthermore we cannot emit the record to both events because that might
cause a data leak -- the events might not have the same privileges -- so
what this patch does is discard such events.

The assumption/hope is that such discards will be rare.

Here lists some possible ways you may get high discard rate.

  - when you count the same thing multiple times. But it is not a useful
    configuration.
  - you can be unfortunate if you measure with a userspace only PEBS
    event along with either a kernel or unrestricted PEBS event. Imagine
    the event triggering and setting the overflow flag right before
    entering the kernel. Then all kernel side events will end up with
    multiple bits set.

      perf: allow for PMU-specific event filtering · 66eb579e
      由 Mark Rutland 提交于 
      In certain circumstances it may not be possible to schedule particular
events due to constraints other than a lack of hardware counters (e.g.
on big.LITTLE systems where CPUs support different events). The core
perf event code does not distinguish these cases and pessimistically
assumes that any failure to schedule an event means that it is not worth
attempting to schedule later events, even if some hardware counters are
still unused.

When an event a pmu cannot schedule exists in a flexible group list it
can unnecessarily prevent event groups following it in the list from
being scheduled (until it is rotated to the end of the list). This means
some events are scheduled for only a portion of the time they could be,
and for short running programs no events may be scheduled if the list is
initially sorted in an unfortunate order.

This patch adds a new (optional) filter_match function pointer to struct
pmu which a pmu driver can use to tell perf core when an event matches
pmu-specific scheduling requirements. This plugs into the existing
event_filter_match logic, and makes it possible to avoid the scheduling
problem described above. When no filter is provided by the PMU, the
existing behaviour is retained.
