2013-05-07perf: Factor out auxiliary events notificationJiri Olsa
Add perf_event_aux() function to send out all types of auxiliary events - mmap, task, comm events. For each type there's match and output functions defined and used as callbacks during perf_event_aux processing. This way we can centralize the pmu/context iterating and event matching logic. Also since lot of the code was duplicated, this patch reduces the .text size about 2kB on my setup: snipped output from 'objdump -x kernel/events/core.o' before: Idx Name Size 0 .text 0000d313 after: Idx Name Size 0 .text 0000cad3 Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Corey Ashford <cjashfor@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1367857638-27631-3-git-send-email-jolsa@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
2013-05-07perf: Fix EXIT event notificationJiri Olsa
The perf_event_task_ctx() function needs to be called with preemption disabled, since it's checking for currently scheduled cpu against event cpu. We disable preemption for task related perf event context if there's one defined, leaving up to the chance which cpu it gets scheduled in.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull 'full dynticks' support from Ingo Molnar: "This tree from Frederic Weisbecker adds a new, (exciting! :-) core kernel feature to the timer and scheduler subsystems: 'full dynticks', or CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y. This feature extends the nohz variable-size timer tick feature from idle to busy CPUs (running at most one task) as well, potentially reducing the number of timer interrupts significantly. This feature got motivated by real-time folks and the -rt tree, but the general utility and motivation of full-dynticks runs wider than that: - HPC workloads get faster: CPUs running a single task should be able to utilize a maximum amount of CPU power. A periodic timer tick at HZ=1000 can cause a constant overhead of up to 1.0%. This feature removes that overhead - and speeds up the system by 0.5%-1.0% on typical distro configs even on modern systems. - Real-time workload latency reduction: CPUs running critical tasks should experience as little jitter as possible. The last remaining source of kernel-related jitter was the periodic timer tick. - A single task executing on a CPU is a pretty common situation, especially with an increasing number of cores/CPUs, so this feature helps desktop and mobile workloads as well. The cost of the feature is mainly related to increased timer reprogramming overhead when a CPU switches its tick period, and thus slightly longer to-idle and from-idle latency. Configuration-wise a third mode of operation is added to the existing two NOHZ kconfig modes: - CONFIG_HZ_PERIODIC: [formerly !CONFIG_NO_HZ], now explicitly named as a config option. This is the traditional Linux periodic tick design: there's a HZ tick going on all the time, regardless of whether a CPU is idle or not. - CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE: [formerly CONFIG_NO_HZ=y], this turns off the periodic tick when a CPU enters idle mode. - CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL: this new mode, in addition to turning off the tick when a CPU is idle, also slows the tick down to 1 Hz (one timer interrupt per second) when only a single task is running on a CPU. The .config behavior is compatible: existing !CONFIG_NO_HZ and CONFIG_NO_HZ=y settings get translated to the new values, without the user having to configure anything. CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL is turned off by default. This feature is based on a lot of infrastructure work that has been steadily going upstream in the last 2-3 cycles: related RCU support and non-periodic cputime support in particular is upstream already. This tree adds the final pieces and activates the feature. The pull request is marked RFC because: - it's marked 64-bit only at the moment - the 32-bit support patch is small but did not get ready in time. - it has a number of fresh commits that came in after the merge window. The overwhelming majority of commits are from before the merge window, but still some aspects of the tree are fresh and so I marked it RFC. - it's a pretty wide-reaching feature with lots of effects - and while the components have been in testing for some time, the full combination is still not very widely used. That it's default-off should reduce its regression abilities and obviously there are no known regressions with CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y enabled either. - the feature is not completely idempotent: there is no 100% equivalent replacement for a periodic scheduler/timer tick. In particular there's ongoing work to map out and reduce its effects on scheduler load-balancing and statistics. This should not impact correctness though, there are no known regressions related to this feature at this point. - it's a pretty ambitious feature that with time will likely be enabled by most Linux distros, and we'd like you to make input on its design/implementation, if you dislike some aspect we missed. Without flaming us to crisp! :-) Future plans: - there's ongoing work to reduce 1Hz to 0Hz, to essentially shut off the periodic tick altogether when there's a single busy task on a CPU. We'd first like 1 Hz to be exposed more widely before we go for the 0 Hz target though. - once we reach 0 Hz we can remove the periodic tick assumption from nr_running>=2 as well, by essentially interrupting busy tasks only as frequently as the sched_latency constraints require us to do - once every 4-40 msecs, depending on nr_running. I am personally leaning towards biting the bullet and doing this in v3.10, like the -rt tree this effort has been going on for too long - but the final word is up to you as usual.

2013-05-01perf: Fix vmalloc ring buffer pages handlingJiri Olsa
If we allocate perf ring buffer with the size of single (user) page, we will get memory corruption when releasing itin rb_free_work function (for CONFIG_PERF_USE_VMALLOC option). For single page sized ring buffer the page_order is -1 (because nr_pages is 0). This needs to be recognized in the rb_free_work function to release proper amount of pages. Adding data_page_nr function that returns number of allocated data pages. Customizing the rest of the code to use it.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo: - Fixes and a lot of cleanups. Locking cleanup is finally complete. cgroup_mutex is no longer exposed to individual controlelrs which used to cause nasty deadlock issues. Li fixed and cleaned up quite a bit including long standing ones like racy cgroup_path(). - device cgroup now supports proper hierarchy thanks to Aristeu. - perf_event cgroup now supports proper hierarchy. - A new mount option "__DEVEL__sane_behavior" is added. As indicated by the name, this option is to be used for development only at this point and generates a warning message when used. Unfortunately, cgroup interface currently has too many brekages and inconsistencies to implement a consistent and unified hierarchy on top. The new flag is used to collect the behavior changes which are necessary to implement consistent unified hierarchy. It's likely that this flag won't be used verbatim when it becomes ready but will be enabled implicitly along with unified hierarchy. The option currently disables some of broken behaviors in cgroup core and also .use_hierarchy switch in memcg (will be routed through -mm), which can be used to make very unusual hierarchy where nesting is partially honored. It will also be used to implement hierarchy support for blk-throttle which would be impossible otherwise without introducing a full separate set of control knobs. This is essentially versioning of interface which isn't very nice but at this point I can't see any other options which would allow keeping the interface the same while moving towards hierarchy behavior which is at least somewhat sane. The planned unified hierarchy is likely to require some level of adaptation from userland anyway, so I think it'd be best to take the chance and update the interface such that it's supportable in the long term. Maintaining the existing interface does complicate cgroup core but shouldn't put too much strain on individual controllers and I think it'd be manageable for the foreseeable future. Maybe we'll be able to drop it in a decade.

2013-04-04uprobes: Add trap variant helperAnanth N Mavinakayanahalli
Some architectures like powerpc have multiple variants of the trap instruction. Introduce an additional helper is_trap_insn() for run-time handling of non-uprobe traps on such architectures. While there, change is_swbp_at_addr() to is_trap_at_addr() for reading clarity. With this change, the uprobe registration path will supercede any trap instruction inserted at the requested location, while taking care of delivering the SIGTRAP for cases where the trap notification came in for an address without a uprobe. See [1] for a more detailed explanation. [1] https://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2013-March/104771.html This change was suggested by Oleg Nesterov.

2013-04-01perf/core: Add weighted samplesAndi Kleen
For some events it's useful to weight sample with a hardware provided number. This expresses how expensive the action the sample represent was. This allows the profiler to scale the samples to be more informative to the programmer. There is already the period which is used similarly, but it means something different, so I chose to not overload it. Instead a new sample type for WEIGHT is added. Can be used for multiple things. Initially it is used for TSX abort costs and profiling by memory latencies (so to make expensive load appear higher up in the histograms). The concept is quite generic and can be extended to many other kinds of events or architectures, as long as the hardware provides suitable auxillary values. In principle it could be also used for software tracepoints. This adds the generic glue. A new optional sample format for a 64-bit weight value.

2013-03-21perf: Fix ring_buffer perf_output_space() boundary calculationStephane Eranian
This patch fixes a flaw in perf_output_space(). In case the size of the space needed is bigger than the actual buffer size, there may be situations where the function would return true (i.e., there is space) when it should not. head > offset due to rounding of the masking logic. The problem can be tested by activating BTS on Intel processors. A BTS record can be as big as 16 pages. The following command fails: $ perf record -m 4 -c 1 -e branches:u my_test_program You will get a buffer corruption with this. Perf report won't be able to parse the perf.data. The fix is to first check that the requested space is smaller than the buffer size. If so, then the masking logic will work fine. If not, then there is no chance the record can be saved and it will be gracefully handled by upper code layers. [ In v2, we also make the logic for the writable more explicit by renaming it to rb->overwrite because it tells whether or not the buffer can overwrite its tail (suggested by PeterZ). ] Signed-off-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: peterz@infradead.org Cc: jolsa@redhat.com Cc: fweisbec@gmail.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20130318133327.GA3056@quad Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

2013-02-28hlist: drop the node parameter from iteratorsSasha Levin
I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member) The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter: hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member) Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate. Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required: - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones. - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this was modified to use 'obj->member' instead. - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator properly, so those had to be fixed up manually. The semantic patch which is mostly the work of Peter Senna Tschudin is here: @@ iterator name hlist_for_each_entry, hlist_for_each_entry_continue, hlist_for_each_entry_from, hlist_for_each_entry_rcu, hlist_for_each_entry_rcu_bh, hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu_bh, for_each_busy_worker, ax25_uid_for_each, ax25_for_each, inet_bind_bucket_for_each, sctp_for_each_hentry, sk_for_each, sk_for_each_rcu, sk_for_each_from, sk_for_each_safe, sk_for_each_bound, hlist_for_each_entry_safe, hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu, nr_neigh_for_each, nr_neigh_for_each_safe, nr_node_for_each, nr_node_for_each_safe, for_each_gfn_indirect_valid_sp, for_each_gfn_sp, for_each_host; type T; expression a,c,d,e; identifier b; statement S; @@ -T b; <+... when != b ( hlist_for_each_entry(a, - b, c, d) S | hlist_for_each_entry_continue(a, - b, c) S | hlist_for_each_entry_from(a, - b, c) S | hlist_for_each_entry_rcu(a, - b, c, d) S | hlist_for_each_entry_rcu_bh(a, - b, c, d) S | hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu_bh(a, - b, c) S | for_each_busy_worker(a, c, - b, d) S | ax25_uid_for_each(a, - b, c) S | ax25_for_each(a, - b, c) S | inet_bind_bucket_for_each(a, - b, c) S | sctp_for_each_hentry(a, - b, c) S | sk_for_each(a, - b, c) S | sk_for_each_rcu(a, - b, c) S | sk_for_each_from -(a, b) +(a) S + sk_for_each_from(a) S | sk_for_each_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | sk_for_each_bound(a, - b, c) S | hlist_for_each_entry_safe(a, - b, c, d, e) S | hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu(a, - b, c) S | nr_neigh_for_each(a, - b, c) S | nr_neigh_for_each_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | nr_node_for_each(a, - b, c) S | nr_node_for_each_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | - for_each_gfn_sp(a, c, d, b) S + for_each_gfn_sp(a, c, d) S | - for_each_gfn_indirect_valid_sp(a, c, d, b) S + for_each_gfn_indirect_valid_sp(a, c, d) S | for_each_host(a, - b, c) S | for_each_host_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | for_each_mesh_entry(a, - b, c, d) S ) ...+> [akpm@linux-foundation.org: drop bogus change from net/ipv4/raw.c] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: drop bogus hunk from net/ipv6/raw.c] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: checkpatch fixes] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix warnings] [akpm@linux-foudnation.org: redo intrusive kvm changes] Tested-by: Peter Senna Tschudin <peter.senna@gmail.com> Acked-by: Paul E.

2013-02-08uprobes: Introduce uprobe_apply()Oleg Nesterov
Currently it is not possible to change the filtering constraints after uprobe_register(), so a consumer can not, say, start to trace a task/mm which was previously filtered out, or remove the no longer needed bp's. Introduce uprobe_apply() which simply does register_for_each_vma() again to consult uprobe_consumer->filter() and install/remove the breakpoints. The only complication is that register_for_each_vma() can no longer assume that uprobe->consumers should be consulter if is_register == T, so we change it to accept "struct uprobe_consumer *new" instead. Unlike uprobe_register(), uprobe_apply(true) doesn't do "unregister" if register_for_each_vma() fails, it is up to caller to handle the error. Note: we probably need to cleanup the current interface, it is strange that uprobe_apply/unregister need inode/offset. We should either change uprobe_register() to return "struct uprobe *", or add a private ->uprobe member in uprobe_consumer. And in the long term uprobe_apply() should take a single argument, uprobe or consumer, even "bool add" should go away. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>

sys_perf_event_open()->perf_init_event(event) is called before find_get_context(event), this means that event->ctx == NULL when class->reg(TRACE_REG_PERF_REGISTER/OPEN) is called and thus it can't know if this event is per-task or system-wide. This patch adds hw_perf_event->tp_target for PERF_TYPE_TRACEPOINT, this is analogous to PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT/bp_target we already have. The patch also moves ->bp_target up so that it can overlap with the new member, this can help the compiler to generate the better code. trace_uprobe_register() will use it for prefiltering to avoid the unnecessary breakpoints in mm's we do not want to trace. ->tp_target doesn't have its own reference, but we can rely on the fact that either sys_perf_event_open() holds a reference, or it is equal to event->ctx->task. So this pointer is always valid until free_event(). Also add the "struct list_head tp_list" into this union. It is not strictly necessary, but it can simplify the next changes and we can add it for free. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>
2013-02-08uprobes: Add exports for module useJosh Stone
The original pull message for uprobes (commit 654443e2) noted: This tree includes uprobes support in 'perf probe' - but SystemTap (and other tools) can take advantage of user probe points as well. In order to actually be usable in module-based tools like SystemTap, the interface needs to be exported. This patch first adds the obvious exports for uprobe_register and uprobe_unregister. Then it also adds one for task_user_regset_view, which is necessary to get the correct state of userspace registers.

2013-02-08uprobes: Kill the bogus IS_ERR_VALUE(xol_vaddr) checkOleg Nesterov
utask->xol_vaddr is either zero or valid, remove the bogus IS_ERR_VALUE() check in xol_free_insn_slot(). Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Acked-by: Anton Arapov <anton@redhat.com> Acked-by: Srikar Dronamraju <srikar@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2013-02-08uprobes: Do not allocate current->utask unnecessaryOleg Nesterov
handle_swbp() does get_utask() before can_skip_sstep() for no reason, we do not need ->utask if can_skip_sstep() succeeds. Move get_utask() to pre_ssout() who actually starts to use it. Move the initialization of utask->active_uprobe/state as well. This way the whole initialization is consolidated in pre_ssout().
