* perf core: Pass max stack as a perf_callchain_entry contextArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2022-04-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This makes perf_callchain_{user,kernel}() receive the max stack as context for the perf_callchain_entry, instead of accessing the global sysctl_perf_event_max_stack.

* perf core: Allow setting up max frame stack depth via sysctlArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2022-04-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The default remains 127, which is good for most cases, and not even hit most of the time, but then for some cases, as reported by Brendan, 1024+ deep frames are appearing on the radar for things like groovy, ruby. And in some workloads putting a _lower_ cap on this may make sense. One that is per event still needs to be put in place tho. The new file is: # cat /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_stack 127 Chaging it: # echo 256 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_stack # cat /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_stack 256 But as soon as there is some event using callchains we get: # echo 512 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_stack -bash: echo: write error: Device or resource busy # Because we only allocate the callchain percpu data structures when there is a user, which allows for changing the max easily, its just a matter of having no callchain users at that point.

* powerpc/perf: Record counter overflow always if SAMPLE_IP is unsetAthira Rajeev2021-03-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | [ Upstream commit d137845c973147a22622cc76c7b0bc16f6206323 ] While sampling for marked events, currently we record the sample only if the SIAR valid bit of Sampled Instruction Event Register (SIER) is set. SIAR_VALID bit is used for fetching the instruction address from Sampled Instruction Address Register(SIAR). But there are some usecases, where the user is interested only in the PMU stats at each counter overflow and the exact IP of the overflow event is not required. Dropping SIAR invalid samples will fail to record some of the counter overflows in such cases. Example of such usecase is dumping the PMU stats (event counts) after some regular amount of instructions/events from the userspace (ex: via ptrace). Here counter overflow is indicated to userspace via signal handler, and captured by monitoring and enabling I/O signaling on the event file descriptor. In these cases, we expect to get sample/overflow indication after each specified sample_period. Perf event attribute will not have PERF_SAMPLE_IP set in the sample_type if exact IP of the overflow event is not requested. So while profiling if SAMPLE_IP is not set, just record the counter overflow irrespective of SIAR_VALID check.

* powerpc/perf: Exclude kernel samples while counting events in user space.Athira Rajeev2020-12-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit aa8e21c053d72b6639ea5a7f1d3a1d0209534c94 upstream. Perf event attritube supports exclude_kernel flag to avoid sampling/profiling in supervisor state (kernel). Based on this event attr flag, Monitor Mode Control Register bit is set to freeze on supervisor state. But sometimes (due to hardware limitation), Sampled Instruction Address Register (SIAR) locks on to kernel address even when freeze on supervisor is set. Patch here adds a check to drop those samples.

* powerpc/perf: Remove PPMU_HAS_SSLOT flag for Power8Madhavan Srinivasan2020-05-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit 370f06c88528b3988fe24a372c10e1303bb94cf6 upstream. Commit 7a7868326d77 ("powerpc/perf: Add an explict flag indicating presence of SLOT field") introduced the PPMU_HAS_SSLOT flag to remove the assumption that MMCRA[SLOT] was present when PPMU_ALT_SIPR was not set. That commit's changelog also mentions that Power8 does not support MMCRA[SLOT]. However when the Power8 PMU support was merged, it errnoeously included the PPMU_HAS_SSLOT flag. So remove PPMU_HAS_SSLOT from the Power8 flags. mpe: On systems where MMCRA[SLOT] exists, the field occupies bits 37:39 (IBM numbering). On Power8 bit 37 is reserved, and 38:39 overlap with the high bits of the Threshold Event Counter Mantissa. I am not aware of any published events which use the threshold counting mechanism, which would cause the mantissa bits to be set. So in practice this bug is unlikely to trigger.

Since these are userspace readable and could contain kernel addresses, add code to explicitly clear the content of these registers. Also add a "context synchronizing instruction" to enforce no further updates to these registers as suggested by Power ISA v3.0B. From section 9.4, on page 1108: "If an mtspr instruction is executed that changes the value of a Performance Monitor register other than SIAR, SDAR, and SIER, the change is not guaranteed to have taken effect until after a subsequent context synchronizing instruction has been executed (see Chapter 11.

However one of the conditions is incorrect, such that it can never be true, because we will have already returned. I don't believe there is a bug in practice though, because the comparisons are an optimisation prior to calling memcmp(). Fix it by swapping the second comparision, so it can be true.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We need to properly identify whether a hugepage is an explicit or a transparent hugepage in follow_huge_addr(). We used to depend on hugepage shift argument to do that. But in some case that can result in wrong results. For ex: On finding a transparent hugepage we set hugepage shift to PMD_SHIFT. But we can end up clearing the thp pte, via pmdp_huge_get_and_clear. We do prevent reusing the pfn page via the usage of kick_all_cpus_sync(). But that happens after we updated the pte to 0. Hence in follow_huge_addr() we can find hugepage shift set, but transparent huge page check fail for a thp pte. NOTE: We fixed a variant of this race against thp split in commit 691e95fd7396905a38d98919e9c150dbc3ea21a3 ("powerpc/mm/thp: Make page table walk safe against thp split/collapse") Without this patch, we may hit the BUG_ON(flags & FOLL_GET) in follow_page_mask occasionally.

If in a transaction, we defer the schedulability checks from pmu->add() operation to the pmu->commit() operation. Now that we have "transaction types" (PERF_PMU_TXN_ADD, PERF_PMU_TXN_READ) we can use the type to determine if we are in a transaction and drop the PERF_EVENT_TXN flag. When PERF_EVENT_TXN is dropped, the cpuhw->group_flag on some architectures becomes unused, so drop that field as well.

They also allow reading several counters in a single HCALL so we can get a more consistent snapshot of the system. Use the PMU's transaction interface to monitor and read several event counters at once. The idea is that users can group several 24x7 events into a single group of events. We use the following logic to submit the group of events to the PMU and read the values: pmu->start_txn() // Initialize before first event for each event in group pmu->read(event); // Queue each event to be read pmu->commit_txn() // Read/update all queuedcounters The ->commit_txn() also updates the event counts in the respective perf_event objects. The perf subsystem can then directly get the event counts from the perf_event and can avoid submitting a new ->read() request to the PMU. Thanks to input from Peter Zijlstra.

* | perf/core: Add a 'flags' parameter to the PMU transactional interfacesSukadev Bhattiprolu2015-09-13
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, the PMU interface allows reading only one counter at a time. But some PMUs like the 24x7 counters in Power, support reading several counters at once. To leveage this functionality, extend the transaction interface to support a "transaction type". The first type, PERF_PMU_TXN_ADD, refers to the existing transactions, i.e. used to _schedule_ all the events on the PMU as a group. A second transaction type, PERF_PMU_TXN_READ, will be used in a follow-on patch, by the 24x7 counters to read several counters at once. Extend the transaction interfaces to the PMU to accept a 'txn_flags' parameter and use this parameter to ignore any transactions that are not of type PERF_PMU_TXN_ADD.

* powerpc/perf: Fix book3s kernel to userspace backtracesAnton Blanchard2015-06-02

This overloads regs->result with a boolean that describes if we should use the sampled instruction address register (SIAR) or the regs. If the exception is in kernel, we start with the kernel regs and backtrace through the kernel stack. At this point we switch to the userspace regs and backtrace the user stack with perf_callchain_user(). Unfortunately these regs have not got the perf_read_regs() treatment, so regs->result could be anything. If it is non zero, perf_instruction_pointer() decides to use the SIAR, and we get issues like this: 0.11% qemu-system-ppc [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock_irqsave | ---_raw_spin_lock_irqsave | |--52.35%-- 0 | | | |--46.39%-- __hrtimer_start_range_ns | | kvmppc_run_core | | kvmppc_vcpu_run_hv | | kvmppc_vcpu_run | | kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run | | kvm_vcpu_ioctl | | do_vfs_ioctl | | sys_ioctl | | system_call | | | | | |--67.08%-- _raw_spin_lock_irqsave <--- hi mum | | | | | | | --100.00%-- 0x7e714 | | | 0x7e714 Notice the bogus _raw_spin_irqsave when we transition from kernel (system_call) to userspace (0x7e714).

* powerpc/mm/thp: Make page table walk safe against thp split/collapseAneesh Kumar K.V2015-04-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We can disable a THP split or a hugepage collapse by disabling irq. We do send IPI to all the cpus in the early part of split/collapse, and disabling local irq ensure we don't make progress with split/collapse. If the THP is getting split we return NULL from find_linux_pte_or_hugepte(). For all the current callers it should be ok. We need to be careful if we want to use returned pte_t pointer outside the irq disabled region. W.r.t to THP split, the pfn remains the same, but then a hugepage collapse will result in a pfn change. There are few steps we can take to avoid a hugepage collapse.One way is to take page reference inside the irq disable region. Other option is to take mmap_sem so that a parallel collapse will not happen. We can also disable collapse by taking pmd_lock. Another method used by kvm subsystem is to check whether we had a mmu_notifer update in between using mmu_notifier_retry().

(Alexei Starovoitov) - Another non-trivial feature is per event clockid support: this allows, amongst other things, the selection of different clock sources for event timestamps traced via perf. This feature is sought by people who'd like to merge perf generated events with external events that were measured with different clocks: - cluster wide profiling - for system wide tracing with user-space events, - JIT profiling events etc. Matching perf tooling support is added as well, available via the -k, --clockid <clockid> parameter to perf record et al. (Peter Zijlstra) Hardware enablement kernel changes: - x86 Intel Processor Trace (PT) support: which is a hardware tracer on steroids, available on Broadwell CPUs. The hardware trace stream is directly output into the user-space ring-buffer, using the 'AUX' data format extension that was added to the perf core to support hardware constraints such as the necessity to have the tracing buffer physically contiguous. This patch-set was developed for two years and this is the result. A simple way to make use of this is to use BTS tracing, the PT driver emulates BTS output - available via the 'intel_bts' PMU. More explicit PT specific tooling support is in the works as well - will probably be ready by 4.2. (Alexander Shishkin, Peter Zijlstra) - x86 Intel Cache QoS Monitoring (CQM) support: this is a hardware feature of Intel Xeon CPUs that allows the measurement and allocation/partitioning of caches to individual workloads. These kernel changes expose the measurement side as a new PMU driver, which exposes various QoS related PMU events. (The partitioning change is work in progress and is planned to be merged as a cgroup extension.) (Matt Fleming, Peter Zijlstra; CPU feature detection by Peter P Waskiewicz Jr) - x86 Intel Haswell LBR call stack support: this is a new Haswell feature that allows the hardware recording of call chains, plus tooling support. To activate this feature you have to enable it via the new 'lbr' call-graph recording option: perf record --call-graph lbr perf report or: perf top --call-graph lbr This hardware feature is a lot faster than stack walk or dwarf based unwinding, but has some limitations: - It reuses the current LBR facility, so LBR call stack and branch record can not be enabled at the same time. - It is only available for user-space callchains. (Yan, Zheng) - x86 Intel Broadwell CPU support and various event constraints and event table fixes for earlier models. (Andi Kleen) - x86 Intel HT CPUs event scheduling workarounds. This is a complex CPU bug affecting the SNB,IVB,HSW families that results in counter value corruption. The mitigation code is automatically enabled and is transparent. (Maria Dimakopoulou, Stephane Eranian) The perf tooling side had a ton of changes in this cycle as well, so I'm only able to list the user visible changes here, in addition to the tooling changes outlined above: User visible changes affecting all tools: - Improve support of compressed kernel modules (Jiri Olsa) - Save DSO loading errno to better report errors (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - Bash completion for subcommands (Yunlong Song) - Add 'I' event modifier for perf_event_attr.exclude_idle bit (Jiri Olsa) - Support missing -f to override perf.data file ownership. (Yunlong Song) - Show the first event with an invalid filter (David Ahern, Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) User visible changes in individual tools: 'perf data': New tool for converting perf.data to other formats, initially for the CTF (Common Trace Format) from LTTng (Jiri Olsa, Sebastian Siewior) 'perf diff': Add --kallsyms option (David Ahern) 'perf list': Allow listing events with 'tracepoint' prefix (Yunlong Song) Sort the output of the command (Yunlong Song) 'perf kmem': Respect -i option (Jiri Olsa) Print big numbers using thousands' group (Namhyung Kim) Allow -v option (Namhyung Kim) Fix alignment of slab result table (Namhyung Kim) 'perf probe': Support multiple probes on different binaries on the same command line (Masami Hiramatsu) Support unnamed union/structure members data collection. (Masami Hiramatsu) Check kprobes blacklist when adding new events. (Masami Hiramatsu) 'perf record': Teach 'perf record' about perf_event_attr.clockid (Peter Zijlstra) Support recording running/enabled time (Andi Kleen) 'perf sched': Improve the performance of 'perf sched replay' on high CPU core count machines (Yunlong Song) 'perf report' and 'perf top': Allow annotating entries in callchains in the hists browser (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) Indicate which callchain entries are annotated in the TUI hists browser (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) Add pid/tid filtering to 'report' and 'script' commands (David Ahern) Consider PERF_RECORD_ events with cpumode == 0 in 'perf top', removing one cause of long term memory usage buildup, i.e. not processing PERF_RECORD_EXIT events (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) 'perf stat': Report unsupported events properly (Suzuki K. Poulose) Output running time and run/enabled ratio in CSV mode (Andi Kleen) 'perf trace': Handle legacy syscalls tracepoints (David Ahern, Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) Only insert blank duration bracket when tracing syscalls (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) Filter out the trace pid when no threads are specified (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) Dump stack on segfaults (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) No need to explicitely enable evsels for workload started from perf, let it be enabled via perf_event_attr.enable_on_exec, removing some events that take place in the 'perf trace' before a workload is really started by it. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) Allow mixing with tracepoints and suppressing plain syscalls. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) There's also been a ton of infrastructure work done, such as the split-out of perf's build system into tools/build/ and other changes - see the shortlog and changelog for details" * 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (358 commits) perf/x86/intel/pt: Clean up the control flow in pt_pmu_hw_init() perf evlist: Fix type for references to data_head/tail perf probe: Check the orphaned -x option perf probe: Support multiple probes on different binaries perf buildid-list: Fix segfault when show DSOs with hits perf tools: Fix cross-endian analysis perf tools: Fix error path to do closedir() when synthesizing threads perf tools: Fix synthesizing fork_event.ppid for non-main thread perf tools: Add 'I' event modifier for exclude_idle bit perf report: Don't call map__kmap if map is NULL. perf tests: Fix attr tests perf probe: Fix ARM 32 building error perf tools: Merge all perf_event_attr print functions perf record: Add clockid parameter perf sched replay: Use replay_repeat to calculate the runavg of cpu usage instead of the default value 10 perf sched replay: Support using -f to override perf.data file ownership perf sched replay: Fix the EMFILE error caused by the limitation of the maximum open files perf sched replay: Handle the dead halt of sem_wait when create_tasks() fails for any task perf sched replay: Fix the segmentation fault problem caused by pr_err in threads perf sched replay: Realloc the memory of pid_to_task stepwise to adapt to the different pid_max configurations ...

Therefore, to setup for the next sample collection, pmu_start should set the pmc value to 0x80000000 - left instead of left which incorrectly delays the next overflow interrupt.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds (in req-gen/) a framework for defining gpci counter requests. It uses macro magic similar to ftrace. Also convert the existing hv-gpci request structures and enum values to use the new framework (and adjust old users of the structs and enum values to cope with changes in naming). In exchange for this macro disaster, we get autogenerated event listing for GPCI in sysfs, build time field offset checking, and zero duplication of information about GPCI requests.

(like core, vcpu, lpar above), when specifying the event with the perf tool. Catalog is (at the moment) only parsed on boot. It needs re-parsing when a some hypervisor events occur. At that point we'll also need to prevent old events from continuing to function (counter that is passed in via spare space in the config values?).
