I've heard rumblings that the lightweight tunnels infrastructure has been voted networking change of the year. But what do I know? 1) Add conntrack support to openvswitch, from Joe Stringer. 2) Initial support for VRF (Virtual Routing and Forwarding), which allows the segmentation of routing paths without using multiple devices. There are some semantic kinks to work out still, but this is a reasonably strong foundation. From David Ahern. 3) Remove spinlock fro act_bpf fast path, from Alexei Starovoitov. 4) Ignore route nexthops with a link down state in ipv6, just like ipv4. From Andy Gospodarek. 5) Remove spinlock from fast path of act_gact and act_mirred, from Eric Dumazet. 6) Document the DSA layer, from Florian Fainelli. 7) Add netconsole support to bcmgenet, systemport, and DSA. Also from Florian Fainelli. 8) Add Mellanox Switch Driver and core infrastructure, from Jiri Pirko. 9) Add support for "light weight tunnels", which allow for encapsulation and decapsulation without bearing the overhead of a full blown netdevice. From Thomas Graf, Jiri Benc, and a cast of others. 10) Add Identifier Locator Addressing support for ipv6, from Tom Herbert. 11) Support fragmented SKBs in iwlwifi, from Johannes Berg. 12) Allow perf PMUs to be accessed from eBPF programs, from Kaixu Xia. 13) Add BQL support to 3c59x driver, from Loganaden Velvindron. 14) Stop using a zero TX queue length to mean that a device shouldn't have a qdisc attached, use an explicit flag instead. From Phil Sutter. 15) Use generic geneve netdevice infrastructure in openvswitch, from Pravin B Shelar. 16) Add infrastructure to avoid re-forwarding a packet in software that was already forwarded by a hardware switch. From Scott Feldman. 17) Allow AF_PACKET fanout function to be implemented in a bpf program, from Willem de Bruijn" * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next: (1458 commits) netfilter: nf_conntrack: make nf_ct_zone_dflt built-in netfilter: nf_dup{4, 6}: fix build error when nf_conntrack disabled net: fec: clear receive interrupts before processing a packet ipv6: fix exthdrs offload registration in out_rt path xen-netback: add support for multicast control bgmac: Update fixed_phy_register() sock, diag: fix panic in sock_diag_put_filterinfo flow_dissector: Use 'const' where possible. flow_dissector: Fix function argument ordering dependency ixgbe: Resolve "initialized field overwritten" warnings ixgbe: Remove bimodal SR-IOV disabling ixgbe: Add support for reporting 2.5G link speed ixgbe: fix bounds checking in ixgbe_setup_tc for 82598 ixgbe: support for ethtool set_rxfh ixgbe: Avoid needless PHY access on copper phys ixgbe: cleanup to use cached mask value ixgbe: Remove second instance of lan_id variable ixgbe: use kzalloc for allocating one thing flow: Move __get_hash_from_flowi{4,6} into flow_dissector.c ixgbe: Remove unused PCI bus types ...

* | | perf/ring-buffer: Clarify the use of page::private for high-order AUX ↵Alexander Shishkin2015-08-121-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | allocations A question [1] was raised about the use of page::private in AUX buffer allocations, so let's add a clarification about its intended use. The private field and flag are used by perf's rb_alloc_aux() path to tell the pmu driver the size of each high-order allocation, so that the driver can program those appropriately into its hardware. This only matters for PMUs that don't support hardware scatter tables. Otherwise, every page in the buffer is just a page. This patch adds a comment about the private field to the AUX buffer allocation path.

| * | perf: Fix fasync handling on inherited eventsPeter Zijlstra2015-08-041-2/+10

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.

After this patch, users are allowed to use PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_BPF on a uprobe perf event. Which make it possible to profile user space programs and kernel events together using BPF. Because of this patch, CONFIG_BPF_EVENTS should be selected by CONFIG_UPROBE_EVENT to ensure trace_call_bpf() is compiled even if KPROBE_EVENT is not set.

* | | perf/x86/intel/pt: Do not force sync packets on every schedule-inAlexander Shishkin2015-08-041-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* | | uprobes/x86: Make arch_uretprobe_is_alive(RP_CHECK_CALL) more cleverOleg Nesterov2015-07-311-7/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The previous change documents that cleanup_return_instances() can't always detect the dead frames, the stack can grow. But there is one special case which imho worth fixing: arch_uretprobe_is_alive() can return true when the stack didn't actually grow, but the next "call" insn uses the already invalidated frame. Test-case: #include <stdio.h> #include <setjmp.h> jmp_buf jmp; int nr = 1024; void func_2(void) { if (--nr == 0) return; longjmp(jmp, 1); } void func_1(void) { setjmp(jmp); func_2(); } int main(void) { func_1(); return 0; } If you ret-probe func_1() and func_2() prepare_uretprobe() hits the MAX_URETPROBE_DEPTH limit and "return" from func_2() is not reported. When we know that the new call is not chained, we can do the more strict check. In this case "sp" points to the new ret-addr, so every frame which uses the same "sp" must be dead. The only complication is that arch_uretprobe_is_alive() needs to know was it chained or not, so we add the new RP_CHECK_CHAIN_CALL enum and change prepare_uretprobe() to pass RP_CHECK_CALL only if !chained. Note: arch_uretprobe_is_alive() could also re-read *sp and check if this word is still trampoline_vaddr. This could obviously improve the logic, but I would like to avoid another copy_from_user() especially in the case when we can't avoid the false "alive == T" positives.

I am running on the caller's stack\n"); } int main(void) { func_1(); return 0; } fails if you probe func_1() and func_2() because handle_trampoline() assumes that the probed function should must return and hit the bp installed be prepare_uretprobe(). But in this case func_2() does not return, so when func_1() returns the kernel uses the no longer valid return_instance of func_2(). Change handle_trampoline() to unwind ->return_instances until we know that the next chain is alive or NULL, this ensures that the current chain is the last we need to report and free. Alternatively, every return_instance could use unique trampoline_vaddr, in this case we could use it as a key. And this could solve the problem with sigaltstack() automatically. But this approach needs more changes, and it puts the "hard" limit on MAX_URETPROBE_DEPTH. Plus it can not solve another problem partially fixed by the next patch. Note: this change has no effect on !x86, the arch-agnostic version of arch_uretprobe_is_alive() just returns "true".

The patch exports "struct return_instance" for the architectures which want to override this hook. We can also cleanup prepare_uretprobe() if we pass the new return_instance to arch_uretprobe_hijack_return_addr().

We must not update the running timestamp if we fail to schedule the event, the event will not have ran.

* / perf: Add PERF_RECORD_SWITCH to indicate context switchesAdrian Hunter2015-07-241-0/+103
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

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.

Further complications is that we want the timer handler to always do the forward such that it will always correctly deal with the overruns, and we do not want to race such that the handler has already decided to stop, but the (external) restart sees the timer still active and we end up with a 'lost' timer. The problem with the current code is that the re-start can come before the callback does the forward, at which point the forward from the callback will WARN about forwarding an enqueued timer. Now, conceptually its easy to detect if you're before or after the fwd by comparing the expiration time against the current time. Of course, that's expensive (and racy) because we don't have the current time. Alternatively one could cache this state inside the timer, but then everybody pays the overhead of maintaining this extra state, and that is undesired. The only other option that I could see is the external timer_active variable, which I tried to kill before. I would love a nicer interface for this seemingly simple 'problem' but alas.

You cannot just change the expiry time of an active timer, it will destroy the red-black tree order and cause havoc. Change it to (re)start the timer instead, (re)starting a timer will dequeue and enqueue a timer and therefore preserve rb-tree order. Since we cannot enqueue remotely, wrap the thing in cpu_function_call(), this however mandates that we restrict ourselves to online cpus. Also serialize the entire setting so we don't get multiple concurrent threads trying to update to different values. Also fix a problem in perf_mux_hrtimer_restart(), checking against hrtimer_active() can actually loose us the timer when timer->state == HRTIMER_STATE_CALLBACK and the callback has already decided NORESTART. Furthermore it doesn't make any sense to test hrtimer_callback_running() when we already tested hrtimer_active(), but with the above change, we explicitly must call it when callback_running. Lastly, rename a few functions: s/perf_cpu_hrtimer_/perf_mux_hrtimer_/ -- because I could not find the mux timer function s/\<hr\>/timer/ -- because that's the normal way of calling things.

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.

This means that the current fomulation of control dependencies fails on Alpha. This commit therefore creates a READ_ONCE_CTRL() that has the same overhead on non-Alpha systems, but causes Alpha to produce the needed ordering. This commit also applies READ_ONCE_CTRL() to the one known use of control dependencies. Use of READ_ONCE_CTRL() also has the beneficial effect of adding a bit of self-documentation to control dependencies. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

However, in overwrite using a PMI for this purpose adds extra overhead that the users would like to avoid. Thus, in overwrite mode for such PMUs we can only allow one contiguous chunk for the entire requested buffer. This patch changes the behavior accordingly, so that if the buddy allocator fails to come up with a single high-order chunk for the entire requested buffer, the allocation will fail.
