* perf kmem: Add --sort hit and --sort fragPekka Enberg2009-11-221-1/+28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds support for "--sort hit" and "--sort frag" to the "perf kmem" tool. The former was already mentioned in the help text and the latter is useful for finding call-sites that exhibit worst case behavior for SLAB allocators.

* perf_event: Remove redundant zero fillMárton Németh2009-11-221-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The buffer is first zeroed out by memset(). Then strncpy() is used to fill the content. The strncpy() function also pads the string till the end of the specified length, which is redundant. The strncpy() does not ensures that the string will be properly closed with 0. Use strlcpy() instead. The semantic match that finds this kind of pattern is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @@ expression buffer; expression size; expression str; @@ memset(buffer, 0, size); ... - strncpy( + strlcpy( buffer, str, sizeof(buffer) ); @@ expression buffer; expression size; expression str; @@ memset(&buffer, 0, size); ... - strncpy( + strlcpy( &buffer, str, sizeof(buffer)); @@ expression buffer; identifier field; expression size; expression str; @@ memset(buffer, 0, size); ... - strncpy( + strlcpy( buffer->field, str, sizeof(buffer->field) ); @@ expression buffer; identifier field; expression size; expression str; @@ memset(&buffer, 0, size); ... - strncpy( + strlcpy( buffer.field, str, sizeof(buffer.field)); // </smpl> On strncpy() vs strlcpy() see http://www.gratisoft.us/todd/papers/strlcpy.html .

* tracing: Use the perf recursion protection from trace eventFrederic Weisbecker2009-11-227-107/+106
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we commit a trace to perf, we first check if we are recursing in the same buffer so that we don't mess-up the buffer with a recursing trace. But later on, we do the same check from perf to avoid commit recursion. The recursion check is desired early before we touch the buffer but we want to do this check only once. Then export the recursion protection from perf and use it from the trace events before submitting a trace. v2: Put appropriate Reported-by tag Reported-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@redhat.com> Cc: Jason Baron <jbaron@redhat.com> LKML-Reference: <1258864015-10579-1-git-send-email-fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

* perf symbols: Fixup kernel_maps__fixup_end end mapArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2009-11-211-7/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We better call this routine after both the kernel and modules are loaded, because as it was if there weren't modules it would not be called, resulting in kernel_map->end remaining at zero, so no map would be found and consequently the kernel symtab wouldn't get loaded, i.e. no kernel symbols would be resolved. Also this fixes another case, that is when we _have_ modules, but the last map would have its ->end address not set before we loaded its symbols, which would never happen because ->end was not set.

* perf_events: Fix default watermark calculationStephane Eranian2009-11-211-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes the default watermark value for the sampling buffer. With the existing calculation (watermark = max(PAGE_SIZE, max_size / 2)), no notification was ever received when the buffer was exactly 1 page. This was because you would never cross the threshold (there is no partial samples). In certain configuration, there was no possibilty detecting the problem because there was not enough space left to store the LOST record.In fact, there may be a more generic problem here. The kernel should ensure that there is alaways enough space to store one LOST record. This patch sets the default watermark to half the buffer size. With such limit, we are guaranteed to get a notification even with a single page buffer assuming no sample is bigger than a page.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As Corey reported, the total_enabled and total_running times could occasionally be 0, even though there were events counted. It turns out this is because we record the times before reading the counter while the latter updates the times. This patch corrects that. While looking at this code I found that there is a lot of locking iffyness around, the following patches correct most of that.

This solves many, at first, mysterious results when people have a stale vmlinux file while keeping the default of trying to use the vmlinux file in the current directory in things like 'perf annotate' where the DWARF info is required and thus we can't use just /proc/kallsyms. Modules buildids are already being checked as of the previous changeset in this series, because we are using the default dso__load routine, that will look at a series of places looking for the best file with a matching buildid, starting in the -debuginfo directories.

| * hw-breakpoints: Arbitrate access to pmu following registers constraintsFrederic Weisbecker2009-11-081-6/+205

We keep track of the pmu users by using three per cpu variables: - nr_cpu_bp_pinned stores the number of pinned cpu breakpoints counters in the given cpu - nr_bp_flexible stores the number of non-pinned breakpoints counters in the given cpu. - task_bp_pinned stores the number of pinned task breakpoints in a cpu The latter is not a simple counter but gathers the number of tasks that have n pinned breakpoints. Considering HBP_NUM the number of available breakpoint address registers: task_bp_pinned[0] is the number of tasks having 1 breakpoint task_bp_pinned[1] is the number of tasks having 2 breakpoints [...] task_bp_pinned[HBP_NUM - 1] is the number of tasks having the maximum number of registers (HBP_NUM). When a breakpoint counter is created and wants an access to the pmu, we evaluate the following constraints: == Non-pinned counter == - If attached to a single cpu, check: (per_cpu(nr_bp_flexible, cpu) || (per_cpu(nr_cpu_bp_pinned, cpu) + max(per_cpu(task_bp_pinned, cpu)))) < HBP_NUM -> If there are already non-pinned counters in this cpu, it means there is already a free slot for them. Otherwise, we check that the maximum number of per task breakpoints (for this cpu) plus the number of per cpu breakpoint (for this cpu) doesn't cover every registers. - If attached to every cpus, check: (per_cpu(nr_bp_flexible, *) || (max(per_cpu(nr_cpu_bp_pinned, *)) + max(per_cpu(task_bp_pinned, *)))) < HBP_NUM -> This is roughly the same, except we check the number of per cpu bp for every cpu and we keep the max one. Same for the per tasks breakpoints. == Pinned counter == - If attached to a single cpu, check: ((per_cpu(nr_bp_flexible, cpu) > 1) + per_cpu(nr_cpu_bp_pinned, cpu) + max(per_cpu(task_bp_pinned, cpu))) < HBP_NUM -> Same checks as before. But now the nr_bp_flexible, if any, must keep one register at least (or flexible breakpoints will never be be fed). - If attached to every cpus, check: ((per_cpu(nr_bp_flexible, *) > 1) + max(per_cpu(nr_cpu_bp_pinned, *)) + max(per_cpu(task_bp_pinned, *))) < HBP_NUM Changes in v2: - Counter -> event rename Changes in v5: - Fix unreleased non-pinned task-bound-only counters. We only released it in the first cpu. (Thanks to Paul Mackerras for reporting that) Changes in v6: - Currently, events scheduling are done in this order: cpu context pinned + cpu context non-pinned + task context pinned + task context non-pinned events. Then our current constraints are right theoretically but not in practice, because non-pinned counters may be scheduled before we can apply every possible pinned counters. So consider non-pinned counters as pinned for now.

| * hw-breakpoints: Rewrite the hw-breakpoints layer on top of perf eventsFrederic Weisbecker2009-11-0822-750/+885

Each breakpoints are now perf events that handle the register scheduling, thread/cpu attachment, etc.. The new layering is now made as follows: ptrace kgdb ftrace perf syscall \ | / / \ | / / / Core breakpoint API / / | / | / Breakpoints perf events | | Breakpoints PMU ---- Debug Register constraints handling (Part of core breakpoint API) | | Hardware debug registers Reasons of this rewrite: - Use the centralized/optimized pmu registers scheduling, implying an easier arch integration - More powerful register handling: perf attributes (pinned/flexible events, exclusive/non-exclusive, tunable period, etc...) Impact: - New perf ABI: the hardware breakpoints counters - Ptrace breakpoints setting remains tricky and still needs some per thread breakpoints references. Todo (in the order): - Support breakpoints perf counter events for perf tools (ie: implement perf_bpcounter_event()) - Support from perf tools Changes in v2: - Follow the perf "event " rename - The ptrace regression have been fixed (ptrace breakpoint perf events weren't released when a task ended) - Drop the struct hw_breakpoint and store generic fields in perf_event_attr. - Separate core and arch specific headers, drop asm-generic/hw_breakpoint.h and create linux/hw_breakpoint.h - Use new generic len/type for breakpoint - Handle off case: when breakpoints api is not supported by an arch Changes in v3: - Fix broken CONFIG_KVM, we need to propagate the breakpoint api changes to kvm when we exit the guest and restore the bp registers to the host. Changes in v4: - Drop the hw_breakpoint_restore() stub as it is only used by KVM - EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL hw_breakpoint_restore() as KVM can be built as a module - Restore the breakpoints unconditionally on kvm guest exit: TIF_DEBUG_THREAD doesn't anymore cover every cases of running breakpoints and vcpu->arch.switch_db_regs might not always be set when the guest used debug registers. (Waiting for a reliable optimization) Changes in v5: - Split-up the asm-generic/hw-breakpoint.h moving to linux/hw_breakpoint.h into a separate patch - Optimize the breakpoints restoring while switching from kvm guest to host. We only want to restore the state if we have active breakpoints to the host, otherwise we don't care about messed-up address registers. - Add asm/hw_breakpoint.h to Kbuild - Fix bad breakpoint type in trace_selftest.c Changes in v6: - Fix wrong header inclusion in trace.h (triggered a build error with CONFIG_FTRACE_SELFTEST Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Prasad <prasad@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@web.de> Cc: Jiri Slaby <jirislaby@gmail.com> Cc: Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com> Cc: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@redhat.com> Cc: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | flush_thread() tries to do a TIF_DEBUG check before calling in to flush_thread_hw_breakpoint() (which subsequently clears the thread flag), but for some reason, the x86 code is manually clearing TIF_DEBUG immediately before the test, so this path will never be taken. This kills off the erroneous clear_tsk_thread_flag() and lets flush_thread_hw_breakpoint() actually get invoked. Presumably folks were getting lucky with testing and the free_thread_info() -> free_thread_xstate() path was taking care of the flush there.
