include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

tracing, perf: Implement BPF programs attached to kprobes BPF programs, attached to kprobes, provide a safe way to execute user-defined BPF byte-code programs without being able to crash or hang the kernel in any way. The BPF engine makes sure that such programs have a finite execution time and that they cannot break out of their sandbox. The user interface is to attach to a kprobe via the perf syscall: struct perf_event_attr attr = { .type = PERF_TYPE_TRACEPOINT, .config = event_id, ... }; event_fd = perf_event_open(&attr,...); ioctl(event_fd, PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_BPF, prog_fd); 'prog_fd' is a file descriptor associated with BPF program previously loaded. 'event_id' is an ID of the kprobe created. Closing 'event_fd': close(event_fd); ... automatically detaches BPF program from it. BPF programs can call in-kernel helper functions to: - lookup/update/delete elements in maps - probe_read - wraper of probe_kernel_read() used to access any kernel data structures BPF programs receive 'struct pt_regs *' as an input ('struct pt_regs' is architecture dependent) and return 0 to ignore the event and 1 to store kprobe event into the ring buffer. Note, kprobes are a fundamentally _not_ a stable kernel ABI, so BPF programs attached to kprobes must be recompiled for every kernel version and user must supply correct LINUX_VERSION_CODE in attr.kern_version during bpf_prog_load() call.

perf/core: Introduce address range filtering Many instruction tracing PMUs out there support address range-based filtering, which would, for example, generate trace data only for a given range of instruction addresses, which is useful for tracing individual functions, modules or libraries. Other PMUs may also utilize this functionality to allow filtering to or filtering out code at certain address ranges. This patch introduces the interface for userspace to specify these filters and for the PMU drivers to apply these filters to hardware configuration. The user interface is an ASCII string that is passed via an ioctl() and specifies (in the form of an ASCII string) address ranges within certain object files or within kernel. There is no special treatment for kernel modules yet, but it might be a worthy pursuit. The PMU driver interface basically adds two extra callbacks to the PMU driver structure, one of which validates the filter configuration proposed by the user against what the hardware is actually capable of doing and the other one translates hardware-independent filter configuration into something that can be programmed into the hardware.

perf: Fix task context scheduling There is a very nasty problem wrt disabling the perf task scheduling hooks. Currently we {set,clear} ctx->is_active on every __perf_event_task_sched_{in,out}, _however_ this means that if we disable these calls we'll have task contexts with ->is_active set that are not active and 'active' task contexts without ->is_active set. This can result in event_function_call() looping on the ctx->is_active condition basically indefinitely. Resolve this by changing things such that contexts without events do not set ->is_active like we used to. From this invariant it trivially follows that if there are no (task) events, every task ctx is inactive and disabling the context switch hooks is harmless. This leaves two places that need attention (and already had accumulated weird and wonderful hacks to work around, without recognising this actual problem). Namely: - perf_install_in_context() will need to deal with installing events in an inactive context, meaning it cannot rely on ctx-is_active for its IPIs. - perf_remove_from_context() will have to mark a context as inactive when it removes the last event.

perf: Introduce a flag to enable close-on-exec in perf_event_open() Unlike recent modern userspace API such as: epoll_create1 (EPOLL_CLOEXEC), eventfd (EFD_CLOEXEC), fanotify_init (FAN_CLOEXEC), inotify_init1 (IN_CLOEXEC), signalfd (SFD_CLOEXEC), timerfd_create (TFD_CLOEXEC), or the venerable general purpose open (O_CLOEXEC), perf_event_open() syscall lack a flag to atomically set FD_CLOEXEC (eg. close-on-exec) flag on file descriptor it returns to userspace. The present patch adds a PERF_FLAG_FD_CLOEXEC flag to allow perf_event_open() syscall to atomically set close-on-exec. Having this flag will enable userspace to remove the file descriptor from the list of file descriptors being inherited across exec, without the need to call fcntl(fd, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) and the associated race condition between the current thread and another thread calling fork(2) then execve(2).

perf: Add generic taken branch sampling support This patch adds the ability to sample taken branches to the perf_event interface. The ability to capture taken branches is very useful for all sorts of analysis. For instance, basic block profiling, call counts, statistical call graph. This new capability requires hardware assist and as such may not be available on all HW platforms. On Intel x86 it is implemented on top of the Last Branch Record (LBR) facility. To enable taken branches sampling, the PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK bit must be set in attr->sample_type. Sampled taken branches may be filtered by type and/or priv levels. The patch adds a new field, called branch_sample_type, to the perf_event_attr structure. It contains a bitmask of filters to apply to the sampled taken branches. Filters may be implemented in HW. If the HW filter does not exist or is not good enough, some arch may also implement a SW filter. The following generic filters are currently defined: - PERF_SAMPLE_USER only branches whose targets are at the user level - PERF_SAMPLE_KERNEL only branches whose targets are at the kernel level - PERF_SAMPLE_HV only branches whose targets are at the hypervisor level - PERF_SAMPLE_ANY any type of branches (subject to priv levels filters) - PERF_SAMPLE_ANY_CALL any call branches (may incl. syscall on some arch) - PERF_SAMPLE_ANY_RET any return branches (may incl. syscall returns on some arch) - PERF_SAMPLE_IND_CALL indirect call branches Obviously filter may be combined. The priv level bits are optional. If not provided, the priv level of the associated event are used. It is possible to collect branches at a priv level different from the associated event. Use of kernel, hv priv levels is subject to permissions and availability (hv). The number of taken branch records present in each sample may vary based on HW, the type of sampled branches, the executed code. Therefore each sample contains the number of taken branches it contains.

perf: Fix ctx time tracking by introducing EVENT_TIME Currently any ctx_sched_in() call will re-start the ctx time tracking, this means that calls like: ctx_sched_in(.event_type = EVENT_PINNED); ctx_sched_in(.event_type = EVENT_FLEXIBLE); will have a hole in their ctx time tracking. This is likely harmless but can confuse things a little. By adding EVENT_TIME, we can have the first ctx_sched_in() (is_active: 0 -> !0) start the time and any further ctx_sched_in() will leave the timestamps alone. Secondly, this allows for an early disable like: ctx_sched_out(.event_type = EVENT_TIME); which would update the ctx time (if the ctx is active) and any further calls to ctx_sched_out() would not further modify the ctx time. For ctx_sched_in() any 0 -> !0 transition will automatically include EVENT_TIME. For ctx_sched_out(), any transition that clears EVENT_ALL will automatically clear EVENT_TIME. These two rules ensure that under normal circumstances we need not bother with EVENT_TIME and get natural ctx time behaviour.

perf/core: Optimize side-band event delivery The perf_event_aux() function iterates all PMUs and all events in their respective per-CPU contexts to find the events to deliver side-band records to. For example, the brk test case in lkp triggers many mmap() operations, which, if we're also running perf, results in many perf_event_aux() invocations. If we enable uncore PMU support (even when uncore events are not used), dozens of uncore PMUs will be iterated, which can significantly decrease brk_test's throughput. For example, the brk throughput: without uncore PMUs: 2647573 ops_per_sec with uncore PMUs: 1768444 ops_per_sec ... a 33% reduction. To get at the per-CPU events that need side-band records, this patch puts these events on a per-CPU list, this avoids iterating the PMUs and any events that do not need side-band records. Per task events are unchanged to avoid extra overhead on the context switch paths.

perf: Add PERF_RECORD_SWITCH to indicate context switches 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: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

perf/core: Fix dynamic interrupt throttle There were two problems with the dynamic interrupt throttle mechanism, both triggered by the same action. When you (or perf_fuzzer) write a huge value into /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate the computed perf_sample_allowed_ns becomes 0. This effectively disables the whole dynamic throttle. This is fixed by ensuring update_perf_cpu_limits() never sets the value to 0. However, we allow disabling of the dynamic throttle by writing 100 to /proc/sys/kernel/perf_cpu_time_max_percent. This will generate a warning in dmesg. The second problem is that by setting the max_sample_rate to a huge number, the adaptive process can take a few tries, since it halfs the limit each time.

perf: Use hrtimers for event multiplexing The current scheme of using the timer tick was fine for per-thread events. However, it was causing bias issues in system-wide mode (including for uncore PMUs). Event groups would not get their fair share of runtime on the PMU. With tickless kernels, if a core is idle there is no timer tick, and thus no event rotation (multiplexing). However, there are events (especially uncore events) which do count even though cores are asleep. This patch changes the timer source for multiplexing. It introduces a per-PMU per-cpu hrtimer. The advantage is that even when a core goes idle, it will come back to service the hrtimer, thus multiplexing on system-wide events works much better. The per-PMU implementation (suggested by PeterZ) enables adjusting the multiplexing interval per PMU. The preferred interval is stashed into the struct pmu. If not set, it will be forced to the default interval value. In order to minimize the impact of the hrtimer, it is turned on and off on demand. When the PMU on a CPU is overcommited, the hrtimer is activated. It is stopped when the PMU is not overcommitted. In order for this to work properly, we had to change the order of initialization in start_kernel() such that hrtimer_init() is run before perf_event_init(). The default interval in milliseconds is set to a timer tick just like with the old code. We will provide a sysctl to tune this in another patch.

perf/core: Fix dynamic interrupt throttle There were two problems with the dynamic interrupt throttle mechanism, both triggered by the same action. When you (or perf_fuzzer) write a huge value into /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate the computed perf_sample_allowed_ns becomes 0. This effectively disables the whole dynamic throttle. This is fixed by ensuring update_perf_cpu_limits() never sets the value to 0. However, we allow disabling of the dynamic throttle by writing 100 to /proc/sys/kernel/perf_cpu_time_max_percent.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

perf: Add per event clockid support While thinking on the whole clock discussion it occurred to me we have two distinct uses of time: 1) the tracking of event/ctx/cgroup enabled/running/stopped times which includes the self-monitoring support in struct perf_event_mmap_page. 2) the actual timestamps visible in the data records. And we've been conflating them. The first is all about tracking time deltas, nobody should really care in what time base that happens, its all relative information, as long as its internally consistent it works. The second however is what people are worried about when having to merge their data with external sources. And here we have the discussion on MONOTONIC vs MONOTONIC_RAW etc.. Where MONOTONIC is good for correlating between machines (static offset), MONOTNIC_RAW is required for correlating against a fixed rate hardware clock. This means configurability; now 1) makes that hard because it needs to be internally consistent across groups of unrelated events; which is why we had to have a global perf_clock(). However, for 2) it doesn't really matter, perf itself doesn't care what it writes into the buffer. The below patch makes the distinction between these two cases by adding perf_event_clock() which is used for the second case. It further makes this configurable on a per-event basis, but adds a few sanity checks such that we cannot combine events with different clocks in confusing ways. And since we then have per-event configurability we might as well retain the 'legacy' behaviour as a default.

perf/core: Make cgroup switch visit only cpuctxs with cgroup events This patch follows from a conversation in CQM/CMT's last series about speeding up the context switch for cgroup events: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9478617/ This is a low-hanging fruit optimization. It replaces the iteration over the "pmus" list in cgroup switch by an iteration over a new list that contains only cpuctxs with at least one cgroup event. This is necessary because the number of PMUs have increased over the years e.g modern x86 server systems have well above 50 PMUs. The iteration over the full PMU list is unneccessary and can be costly in heavy cache contention scenarios. Below are some instrumentation measurements with 10, 50 and 90 percentiles of the total cost of context switch before and after this optimization for a simple array read/write microbenchark.

perf/core: Make cgroup switch visit only cpuctxs with cgroup events This patch follows from a conversation in CQM/CMT's last series about speeding up the context switch for cgroup events: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9478617/ This is a low-hanging fruit optimization. It replaces the iteration over the "pmus" list in cgroup switch by an iteration over a new list that contains only cpuctxs with at least one cgroup event. This is necessary because the number of PMUs have increased over the years e.g modern x86 server systems have well above 50 PMUs. The iteration over the full PMU list is unneccessary and can be costly in heavy cache contention scenarios. Below are some instrumentation measurements with 10, 50 and 90 percentiles of the total cost of context switch before and after this optimization for a simple array read/write microbenchark. Contention Level Nr events Before (us) After (us) Median L2 L3 types (10%, 50%, 90%) (10%, 50%, 90% Speedup -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Low Low 1 (1.72, 2.42, 5.85) (1.35, 1.64, 5.46) 29% High Low 1 (2.08, 4.56, 19.8) (1720, 2.20, 13.7) 51% High High 1 (2.86, 10.4, 12.7) (2.54, 4.32, 12.1) 58% Low Low 2 (1.98, 3.20, 6.89) (1.68, 2.41, 8.89) 24% High Low 2 (2.48, 5.28, 22.4) (2150, 3.69, 14.6) 30% High High 2 (3.32, 8.09, 13.9) (2.80, 5.15, 13.7) 36% where: 1 event type = cycles 2 event types = cycles,intel_cqm/llc_occupancy/ Contention L2 Low: workset < L2 cache size.

perf events: Fix slow and broken cgroup context switch code The current cgroup context switch code was incorrect leading to bogus counts. Furthermore, as soon as there was an active cgroup event on a CPU, the context switch cost on that CPU would increase by a significant amount as demonstrated by a simple ping/pong example: $ ./pong Both processes pinned to CPU1, running for 10s 10684.51 ctxsw/s Now start a cgroup perf stat: $ perf stat -e cycles,cycles -A -a -G test -C 1 -- sleep 100 $ ./pong Both processes pinned to CPU1, running for 10s 6674.61 ctxsw/s That's a 37% penalty. Note that pong is not even in the monitored cgroup. The results shown by perf stat are bogus: $ perf stat -e cycles,cycles -A -a -G test -C 1 -- sleep 100 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 100': CPU1 <not counted> cycles test CPU1 16,984,189,138 cycles # 0.000 GHz The second 'cycles' event should report a count @ CPU clock (here 2.4GHz) as it is counting across all cgroups. The patch below fixes the bogus accounting and bypasses any cgroup switches in case the outgoing and incoming tasks are in the same cgroup. With this patch the same test now yields: $ ./pong Both processes pinned to CPU1, running for 10s 10775.30 ctxsw/s Start perf stat with cgroup: $ perf stat -e cycles,cycles -A -a -G test -C 1 -- sleep 10 Run pong outside the cgroup: $ /pong Both processes pinned to CPU1, running for 10s 10687.80 ctxsw/s The penalty is now less than 2%. And the results for perf stat are correct: $ perf stat -e cycles,cycles -A -a -G test -C 1 -- sleep 10 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 10': CPU1 <not counted> cycles test # 0.000 GHz CPU1 23,933,981,448 cycles # 0.000 GHz Now perf stat reports the correct counts for for the non cgroup event. If we run pong inside the cgroup, then we also get the correct counts: $ perf stat -e cycles,cycles -A -a -G test -C 1 -- sleep 10 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 10': CPU1 22,297,726,205 cycles test # 0.000 GHz CPU1 23,933,981,448 cycles # 0.000 GHz 10.001457237 seconds time elapsed Signed-off-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20110825135803.GA4697@quad Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

perf/core: Set cgroup in CPU contexts for new cgroup events There's a perf stat bug easy to observer on a machine with only one cgroup: $ perf stat -e cycles -I 1000 -C 0 -G / # time counts unit events 1.000161699 <not counted> cycles / 2.000355591 <not counted> cycles / 3.000565154 <not counted> cycles / 4.000951350 <not counted> cycles / We'd expect some output there. The underlying problem is that there is an optimization in perf_cgroup_sched_{in,out}() that skips the switch of cgroup events if the old and new cgroups in a task switch are the same. This optimization interacts with the current code in two ways that cause a CPU context's cgroup (cpuctx->cgrp) to be NULL even if a cgroup event matches the current task. These are: 1. On creation of the first cgroup event in a CPU: In current code, cpuctx->cpu is only set in perf_cgroup_sched_in, but due to the aforesaid optimization, perf_cgroup_sched_in will run until the next cgroup switches in that CPU. This may happen late or never happen, depending on system's number of cgroups, CPU load, etc. 2. On deletion of the last cgroup event in a cpuctx: In list_del_event, cpuctx->cgrp is set NULL. Any new cgroup event will not be sched in because cpuctx->cgrp == NULL until a cgroup switch occurs and perf_cgroup_sched_in is executed (updating cpuctx->cgrp). This patch fixes both problems by setting cpuctx->cgrp in list_add_event, mirroring what list_del_event does when removing a cgroup event from CPU context, as introduced in: commit 68cacd29167b ("perf_events: Fix stale ->cgrp pointer in update_cgrp_time_from_cpuctx()") With this patch, cpuctx->cgrp is always set/clear when installing/removing the first/last cgroup event in/from the CPU context. With cpuctx->cgrp correctly set, event_filter_match works as intended when events are sched in/out. After the fix, the output is as expected: $ perf stat -e cycles -I 1000 -a -G / # time counts unit events 1.004699159 627342882 cycles / 2.007397156 615272690 cycles / 3.010019057 616726074 cycles / Signed-off-by: David Carrillo-Cisneros <davidcc@google.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Kan Liang <kan.liang@intel.com> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Paul Turner <pjt@google.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Vegard Nossum <vegard.nossum@gmail.com> Cc: Vince Weaver <vincent.weaver@maine.edu> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1470124092-113192-1-git-send-email-davidcc@google.com Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

perf/core: Make cgroup switch visit only cpuctxs with cgroup events This patch follows from a conversation in CQM/CMT's last series about speeding up the context switch for cgroup events: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9478617/ This is a low-hanging fruit optimization. It replaces the iteration over the "pmus" list in cgroup switch by an iteration over a new list that contains only cpuctxs with at least one cgroup event. This is necessary because the number of PMUs have increased over the years e.g modern x86 server systems have well above 50 PMUs. The iteration over the full PMU list is unneccessary and can be costly in heavy cache contention scenarios. Below are some instrumentation measurements with 10, 50 and 90 percentiles of the total cost of context switch before and after this optimization for a simple array read/write microbenchark.

perf events: Fix slow and broken cgroup context switch code The current cgroup context switch code was incorrect leading to bogus counts. Furthermore, as soon as there was an active cgroup event on a CPU, the context switch cost on that CPU would increase by a significant amount as demonstrated by a simple ping/pong example: $ ./pong Both processes pinned to CPU1, running for 10s 10684.51 ctxsw/s Now start a cgroup perf stat: $ perf stat -e cycles,cycles -A -a -G test -C 1 -- sleep 100 $ ./pong Both processes pinned to CPU1, running for 10s 6674.61 ctxsw/s That's a 37% penalty. Note that pong is not even in the monitored cgroup.

The patch below fixes the bogus accounting and bypasses any cgroup switches in case the outgoing and incoming tasks are in the same cgroup. With this patch the same test now yields: $ ./pong Both processes pinned to CPU1, running for 10s 10775.30 ctxsw/s Start perf stat with cgroup: $ perf stat -e cycles,cycles -A -a -G test -C 1 -- sleep 10 Run pong outside the cgroup: $ /pong Both processes pinned to CPU1, running for 10s 10687.80 ctxsw/s The penalty is now less than 2%.

perf/core: Set cgroup in CPU contexts for new cgroup events There's a perf stat bug easy to observer on a machine with only one cgroup: $ perf stat -e cycles -I 1000 -C 0 -G / # time counts unit events 1.000161699 <not counted> cycles / 2.000355591 <not counted> cycles / 3.000565154 <not counted> cycles / 4.000951350 <not counted> cycles / We'd expect some output there. The underlying problem is that there is an optimization in perf_cgroup_sched_{in,out}() that skips the switch of cgroup events if the old and new cgroups in a task switch are the same. This optimization interacts with the current code in two ways that cause a CPU context's cgroup (cpuctx->cgrp) to be NULL even if a cgroup event matches the current task. These are: 1. On creation of the first cgroup event in a CPU: In current code, cpuctx->cpu is only set in perf_cgroup_sched_in, but due to the aforesaid optimization, perf_cgroup_sched_in will run until the next cgroup switches in that CPU. This may happen late or never happen, depending on system's number of cgroups, CPU load, etc. 2. On deletion of the last cgroup event in a cpuctx: In list_del_event, cpuctx->cgrp is set NULL. Any new cgroup event will not be sched in because cpuctx->cgrp == NULL until a cgroup switch occurs and perf_cgroup_sched_in is executed (updating cpuctx->cgrp). This patch fixes both problems by setting cpuctx->cgrp in list_add_event, mirroring what list_del_event does when removing a cgroup event from CPU context, as introduced in: commit 68cacd29167b ("perf_events: Fix stale ->cgrp pointer in update_cgrp_time_from_cpuctx()") With this patch, cpuctx->cgrp is always set/clear when installing/removing the first/last cgroup event in/from the CPU context. With cpuctx->cgrp correctly set, event_filter_match works as intended when events are sched in/out. After the fix, the output is as expected: $ perf stat -e cycles -I 1000 -a -G / # time counts unit events 1.004699159 627342882 cycles / 2.007397156 615272690 cycles / 3.010019057 616726074 cycles / Signed-off-by: David Carrillo-Cisneros <davidcc@google.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Kan Liang <kan.liang@intel.com> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Paul Turner <pjt@google.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Vegard Nossum <vegard.nossum@gmail.com> Cc: Vince Weaver <vincent.weaver@maine.edu> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1470124092-113192-1-git-send-email-davidcc@google.com Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

perf: Use hrtimers for event multiplexing The current scheme of using the timer tick was fine for per-thread events. However, it was causing bias issues in system-wide mode (including for uncore PMUs). Event groups would not get their fair share of runtime on the PMU. With tickless kernels, if a core is idle there is no timer tick, and thus no event rotation (multiplexing). However, there are events (especially uncore events) which do count even though cores are asleep. This patch changes the timer source for multiplexing. It introduces a per-PMU per-cpu hrtimer. The advantage is that even when a core goes idle, it will come back to service the hrtimer, thus multiplexing on system-wide events works much better. The per-PMU implementation (suggested by PeterZ) enables adjusting the multiplexing interval per PMU. The preferred interval is stashed into the struct pmu. If not set, it will be forced to the default interval value. In order to minimize the impact of the hrtimer, it is turned on and off on demand. When the PMU on a CPU is overcommited, the hrtimer is activated. It is stopped when the PMU is not overcommitted. In order for this to work properly, we had to change the order of initialization in start_kernel() such that hrtimer_init() is run before perf_event_init(). The default interval in milliseconds is set to a timer tick just like with the old code. We will provide a sysctl to tune this in another patch.

perf: Fix mux_interval hrtimer wreckage Thomas stumbled over the hrtimer_forward_now() in perf_event_mux_interval_ms_store() and noticed its broken-ness. 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.

struct hrtimer *timer = &cpuctx->hrtimer;
perf: Use hrtimers for event multiplexing The current scheme of using the timer tick was fine for per-thread events. However, it was causing bias issues in system-wide mode (including for uncore PMUs). Event groups would not get their fair share of runtime on the PMU. With tickless kernels, if a core is idle there is no timer tick, and thus no event rotation (multiplexing). However, there are events (especially uncore events) which do count even though cores are asleep. This patch changes the timer source for multiplexing. It introduces a per-PMU per-cpu hrtimer. The advantage is that even when a core goes idle, it will come back to service the hrtimer, thus multiplexing on system-wide events works much better. The per-PMU implementation (suggested by PeterZ) enables adjusting the multiplexing interval per PMU. The preferred interval is stashed into the struct pmu. If not set, it will be forced to the default interval value. In order to minimize the impact of the hrtimer, it is turned on and off on demand. When the PMU on a CPU is overcommited, the hrtimer is activated. It is stopped when the PMU is not overcommitted. In order for this to work properly, we had to change the order of initialization in start_kernel() such that hrtimer_init() is run before perf_event_init(). The default interval in milliseconds is set to a timer tick just like with the old code. We will provide a sysctl to tune this in another patch.

sched,perf: Fix periodic timers In the below two commits (see Fixes) we have periodic timers that can stop themselves when they're no longer required, but need to be (re)-started when their idle condition changes. 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.

perf: Use hrtimers for event multiplexing The current scheme of using the timer tick was fine for per-thread events. However, it was causing bias issues in system-wide mode (including for uncore PMUs). Event groups would not get their fair share of runtime on the PMU. With tickless kernels, if a core is idle there is no timer tick, and thus no event rotation (multiplexing). However, there are events (especially uncore events) which do count even though cores are asleep. This patch changes the timer source for multiplexing. It introduces a per-PMU per-cpu hrtimer. The advantage is that even when a core goes idle, it will come back to service the hrtimer, thus multiplexing on system-wide events works much better. The per-PMU implementation (suggested by PeterZ) enables adjusting the multiplexing interval per PMU. The preferred interval is stashed into the struct pmu. If not set, it will be forced to the default interval value. In order to minimize the impact of the hrtimer, it is turned on and off on demand. When the PMU on a CPU is overcommited, the hrtimer is activated. It is stopped when the PMU is not overcommitted. In order for this to work properly, we had to change the order of initialization in start_kernel() such that hrtimer_init() is run before perf_event_init(). The default interval in milliseconds is set to a timer tick just like with the old code. We will provide a sysctl to tune this in another patch.

sched,perf: Fix periodic timers In the below two commits (see Fixes) we have periodic timers that can stop themselves when they're no longer required, but need to be (re)-started when their idle condition changes. 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.

perf: Fix mux_interval hrtimer wreckage Thomas stumbled over the hrtimer_forward_now() in perf_event_mux_interval_ms_store() and noticed its broken-ness. 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.

This leads to the following issues: * Contexts are not always removed from the rotation lists. Removal of PMUs which have been placed in rotation lists, but have not been removed by a hrtimer callback can result in corruption of the rotation lists (when memory backing the context is freed).

This patch fixes the issue by updating the rotation ist when events are scheduled in/out, ensuring that each rotation list stays in sync with the HW state. As each event holds a refcount on the module of its PMU, this ensures that when a PMU module is unloaded none of its CPU contexts can be in a rotation list.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

static void get_ctx(struct perf_event_context *ctx)
perf_counter: Dynamically allocate tasks' perf_counter_context struct This replaces the struct perf_counter_context in the task_struct with a pointer to a dynamically allocated perf_counter_context struct. The main reason for doing is this is to allow us to transfer a perf_counter_context from one task to another when we do lazy PMU switching in a later patch. This has a few side-benefits: the task_struct becomes a little smaller, we save some memory because only tasks that have perf_counters attached get a perf_counter_context allocated for them, and we can remove the inclusion of <linux/perf_counter.h> in sched.h, meaning that we don't end up recompiling nearly everything whenever perf_counter.h changes. The perf_counter_context structures are reference-counted and freed when the last reference is dropped. A context can have references from its task and the counters on its task. Counters can outlive the task so it is possible that a context will be freed well after its task has exited. Contexts are allocated on fork if the parent had a context, or otherwise the first time that a per-task counter is created on a task. In the latter case, we set the context pointer in the task struct locklessly using an atomic compare-and-exchange operation in case we raced with some other task in creating a context for the subject task. This also removes the task pointer from the perf_counter struct. The task pointer was not used anywhere and would make it harder to move a context from one task to another. Anything that needed to know which task a counter was attached to was already using counter->ctx->task. The __perf_counter_init_context function moves up in perf_counter.c so that it can be called from find_get_context, and now initializes the refcount, but is otherwise unchanged. We were potentially calling list_del_counter twice: once from __perf_counter_exit_task when the task exits and once from __perf_counter_remove_from_context when the counter's fd gets closed. This adds a check in list_del_counter so it doesn't do anything if the counter has already been removed from the lists.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

perf_counter: Optimize context switch between identical inherited contexts When monitoring a process and its descendants with a set of inherited counters, we can often get the situation in a context switch where both the old (outgoing) and new (incoming) process have the same set of counters, and their values are ultimately going to be added together. In that situation it doesn't matter which set of counters are used to count the activity for the new process, so there is really no need to go through the process of reading the hardware counters and updating the old task's counters and then setting up the PMU for the new task. This optimizes the context switch in this situation. Instead of scheduling out the perf_counter_context for the old task and scheduling in the new context, we simply transfer the old context to the new task and keep using it without interruption. The new context gets transferred to the old task. This means that both tasks still have a valid perf_counter_context, so no special case is introduced when the old task gets scheduled in again, either on this CPU or another CPU. The equivalence of contexts is detected by keeping a pointer in each cloned context pointing to the context it was cloned from. To cope with the situation where a context is changed by adding or removing counters after it has been cloned, we also keep a generation number on each context which is incremented every time a context is changed. When a context is cloned we take a copy of the parent's generation number, and two cloned contexts are equivalent only if they have the same parent and the same generation number. In order that the parent context pointer remains valid (and is not reused), we increment the parent context's reference count for each context cloned from it. Since we don't have individual fds for the counters in a cloned context, the only thing that can make two clones of a given parent different after they have been cloned is enabling or disabling all counters with prctl. To account for this, we keep a count of the number of enabled counters in each context. Two contexts must have the same number of enabled counters to be considered equivalent. Here are some measurements of the context switch time as measured with the lat_ctx benchmark from lmbench, comparing the times obtained with and without this patch series: -----Unmodified----- With this patch series Counters: none 2 HW 4H+4S none 2 HW 4H+4S 2 processes: Average 3.44 6.45 11.24 3.12 3.39 3.60 St dev 0.04 0.04 0.13 0.05 0.17 0.19 8 processes: Average 6.45 8.79 14.00 5.57 6.23 7.57 St dev 1.27 1.04 0.88 1.42 1.46 1.42 32 processes: Average 5.56 8.43 13.78 5.28 5.55 7.15 St dev 0.41 0.47 0.53 0.54 0.57 0.81 The numbers are the mean and standard deviation of 20 runs of lat_ctx.

perf_counter: Fix race in attaching counters to tasks and exiting Commit 564c2b21 ("perf_counter: Optimize context switch between identical inherited contexts") introduced a race where it is possible that a counter being attached to a task could get attached to the wrong task, if the task is one that has inherited its context from another task via fork. This happens because the optimized context switch could switch the context to another task after find_get_context has read task->perf_counter_ctxp. In fact, it's possible that the context could then get freed, if the other task then exits. This fixes the problem by protecting both the context switch and the critical code in find_get_context with spinlocks. The context switch locks the cxt->lock of both the outgoing and incoming contexts before swapping them. That means that once code such as find_get_context has obtained the spinlock for the context associated with a task, the context can't get swapped to another task. However, the context may have been swapped in the interval between reading task->perf_counter_ctxp and getting the lock, so it is necessary to check and retry. To make sure that none of the contexts being looked at in find_get_context can get freed, this changes the context freeing code to use RCU. Thus an rcu_read_lock() is sufficient to ensure that no contexts can get freed. This part of the patch is lifted from a patch posted by Peter Zijlstra. This also adds a check to make sure that we can't add a counter to a task that is exiting. There is also a race between perf_counter_exit_task and find_get_context; this solves the race by moving the get_ctx that was in perf_counter_alloc into the locked region in find_get_context, so that once find_get_context has got the context for a task, it won't get freed even if the task calls perf_counter_exit_task. It doesn't matter if new top-level (non-inherited) counters get attached to the context after perf_counter_exit_task has detached the context from the task. They will just stay there and never get scheduled in until the counters' fds get closed, and then perf_release will remove them from the context and eventually free the context. With this, we are now doing the unclone in find_get_context rather than when a counter was added to or removed from a context (actually, we were missing the unclone_ctx() call when adding a counter to a context). We don't need to unclone when removing a counter from a context because we have no way to remove a counter from a cloned context. This also takes out the smp_wmb() in find_get_context, which Peter Zijlstra pointed out was unnecessary because the cmpxchg implies a full barrier anyway.

* Because of perf_event::ctx migration in sys_perf_event_open::move_group and

*
* Lock ordering is by mutex address. There are two other sites where

*
* - perf_event_exit_task_context() [ child , 0 ]
* perf_event_exit_event()

* inherit_task_group()
* inherit_group()
* inherit_event()
* perf_event_alloc()
* perf_init_event()
* perf_try_init_event() [ child , 1 ]
*
* While it appears there is an obvious deadlock here -- the parent and child
* nesting levels are inverted between the two. This is in fact safe because
* life-time rules separate them. That is an exiting task cannot fork, and a
* spawning task cannot (yet) exit.
*
* But remember that that these are parent<->child context relations, and
* migration does not affect children, therefore these two orderings should not
* interact.
*
* The change in perf_event::ctx does not affect children (as claimed above)
* because the sys_perf_event_open() case will install a new event and break
* the ctx parent<->child relation, and perf_pmu_migrate_context() is only
* concerned with cpuctx and that doesn't have children.
*
* The places that change perf_event::ctx will issue:
*
* perf_remove_from_context();
* synchronize_rcu();
* perf_install_in_context();
*
* to affect the change. The remove_from_context() + synchronize_rcu() should
* quiesce the event, after which we can install it in the new location. This
* means that only external vectors (perf_fops, prctl) can perturb the event
* while in transit. Therefore all such accessors should also acquire

However, these inherited counters have a unique identifier so that events like PERF_EVENT_PERIOD and PERF_EVENT_THROTTLE can be specific about which counter gets modified, which is important when trying to normalize the sample streams. This patch removes PERF_EVENT_PERIOD in favour of PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD, which is more useful anyway, since changing periods became a lot more common than initially thought -- rendering PERF_EVENT_PERIOD the less useful solution (also, PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD reports the more accurate value, since it reports the value used to trigger the overflow, whereas PERF_EVENT_PERIOD simply reports the requested period changed, which might only take effect on the next cycle). This still leaves us PERF_EVENT_THROTTLE to consider, but since that _should_ be a rare occurrence, and linking it to a primary id is the most useful bit to diagnose the problem, we introduce a PERF_SAMPLE_STREAM_ID, for those few cases where the full reconstruction is important.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

This was discovered by Vince in the test case described above, where two instruction counters are grouped, the group leader is pinned, but the other event is not; in the regressed case the counters were off by 33% (the difference between events' periods), but should be the same within the error margin. Fix the problem by looking at the group leader's pinning.

perf/core: Generalize event->group_flags Currently, PERF_GROUP_SOFTWARE is used in the group_flags field of a group's leader to indicate that is_software_event(event) is true for all events in a group. This is the only usage of event->group_flags. This pattern of setting a group level flags when all events in the group share a property is useful for the flag introduced in the next patch and for future CQM/CMT flags. So this patches generalizes group_flags to work as an aggregate of event level flags. PERF_GROUP_SOFTWARE denotes an inmutable event's property. All other flags that I intend to add are also determinable at event initialization. To better convey the above, this patch renames event's group_flags to group_caps and PERF_GROUP_SOFTWARE to PERF_EV_CAP_SOFTWARE. Individual event flags are stored in the new event->event_caps. Since the cap flags do not change after event initialization, there is no need to serialize event_caps. This new field is used when events are added to a context, similarly to how PERF_GROUP_SOFTWARE and is_software_event() worked. Lastly, for consistency, updates is_software_event() to rely in event_cap instead of the context index.

perf/core: Set cgroup in CPU contexts for new cgroup events There's a perf stat bug easy to observer on a machine with only one cgroup: $ perf stat -e cycles -I 1000 -C 0 -G / # time counts unit events 1.000161699 <not counted> cycles / 2.000355591 <not counted> cycles / 3.000565154 <not counted> cycles / 4.000951350 <not counted> cycles / We'd expect some output there. The underlying problem is that there is an optimization in perf_cgroup_sched_{in,out}() that skips the switch of cgroup events if the old and new cgroups in a task switch are the same. This optimization interacts with the current code in two ways that cause a CPU context's cgroup (cpuctx->cgrp) to be NULL even if a cgroup event matches the current task. These are: 1. On creation of the first cgroup event in a CPU: In current code, cpuctx->cpu is only set in perf_cgroup_sched_in, but due to the aforesaid optimization, perf_cgroup_sched_in will run until the next cgroup switches in that CPU. This may happen late or never happen, depending on system's number of cgroups, CPU load, etc. 2. On deletion of the last cgroup event in a cpuctx: In list_del_event, cpuctx->cgrp is set NULL. Any new cgroup event will not be sched in because cpuctx->cgrp == NULL until a cgroup switch occurs and perf_cgroup_sched_in is executed (updating cpuctx->cgrp). This patch fixes both problems by setting cpuctx->cgrp in list_add_event, mirroring what list_del_event does when removing a cgroup event from CPU context, as introduced in: commit 68cacd29167b ("perf_events: Fix stale ->cgrp pointer in update_cgrp_time_from_cpuctx()") With this patch, cpuctx->cgrp is always set/clear when installing/removing the first/last cgroup event in/from the CPU context. With cpuctx->cgrp correctly set, event_filter_match works as intended when events are sched in/out. After the fix, the output is as expected: $ perf stat -e cycles -I 1000 -a -G / # time counts unit events 1.004699159 627342882 cycles / 2.007397156 615272690 cycles / 3.010019057 616726074 cycles / Signed-off-by: David Carrillo-Cisneros <davidcc@google.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Kan Liang <kan.liang@intel.com> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Paul Turner <pjt@google.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Vegard Nossum <vegard.nossum@gmail.com> Cc: Vince Weaver <vincent.weaver@maine.edu> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1470124092-113192-1-git-send-email-davidcc@google.com Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

perf: Add generic transaction flags Add a generic qualifier for transaction events, as a new sample type that returns a flag word. This is particularly useful for qualifying aborts: to distinguish aborts which happen due to asynchronous events (like conflicts caused by another CPU) versus instructions that lead to an abort. The tuning strategies are very different for those cases, so it's important to distinguish them easily and early. Since it's inconvenient and inflexible to filter for this in the kernel we report all the events out and allow some post processing in user space. The flags are based on the Intel TSX events, but should be fairly generic and mostly applicable to other HTM architectures too. In addition to various flag words there's also reserved space to report an program supplied abort code. For TSX this is used to distinguish specific classes of aborts, like a lock busy abort when doing lock elision. Flags: Elision and generic transactions (ELISION vs TRANSACTION) (HLE vs RTM on TSX; IBM etc. would likely only use TRANSACTION) Aborts caused by current thread vs aborts caused by others (SYNC vs ASYNC) Retryable transaction (RETRY) Conflicts with other threads (CONFLICT) Transaction write capacity overflow (CAPACITY WRITE) Transaction read capacity overflow (CAPACITY READ) Transactions implicitely aborted can also return an abort code. This can be used to signal specific events to the profiler. A common case is abort on lock busy in a RTM eliding library (code 0xff) To handle this case we include the TSX abort code Common example aborts in TSX would be: - Data conflict with another thread on memory read. Flags: TRANSACTION|ASYNC|CONFLICT - executing a WRMSR in a transaction. Flags: TRANSACTION|SYNC - HLE transaction in user space is too large Flags: ELISION|SYNC|CAPACITY-WRITE The only flag that is somewhat TSX specific is ELISION. This adds the perf core glue needed for reporting the new flag word out. v2: Add MEM/MISC v3: Move transaction to the end v4: Separate capacity-read/write and remove misc v5: Remove _SAMPLE. Move abort flags to 32bit.

perf/core, x86: Add PERF_SAMPLE_PHYS_ADDR For understanding how the workload maps to memory channels and hardware behavior, it's very important to collect address maps with physical addresses. For example, 3D XPoint access can only be found by filtering the physical address. Add a new sample type for physical address. perf already has a facility to collect data virtual address. This patch introduces a function to convert the virtual address to physical address. The function is quite generic and can be extended to any architecture as long as a virtual address is provided. - For kernel direct mapping addresses, virt_to_phys is used to convert the virtual addresses to physical address. - For user virtual addresses, __get_user_pages_fast is used to walk the pages tables for user physical address. - This does not work for vmalloc addresses right now. These are not resolved, but code to do that could be added. The new sample type requires collecting the virtual address. The virtual address will not be output unless SAMPLE_ADDR is applied. For security, the physical address can only be exposed to root or privileged user.

perf: make events stream always parsable The event stream is not always parsable because the format of a sample is dependent on the sample_type of the selected event. When there is more than one selected event and the sample_types are not the same then parsing becomes problematic. A sample can be matched to its selected event using the ID that is allocated when the event is opened. Unfortunately, to get the ID from the sample means first parsing it. This patch adds a new sample format bit PERF_SAMPLE_IDENTIFER that puts the ID at a fixed position so that the ID can be retrieved without parsing the sample. For sample events, that is the first position immediately after the header. For non-sample events, that is the last position. In this respect parsing samples requires that the sample_type and ID values are recorded. For example, perf tools records struct perf_event_attr and the IDs within the perf.data file. Those must be read first before it is possible to parse samples found later in the perf.data file.

perf/core: Generalize event->group_flags Currently, PERF_GROUP_SOFTWARE is used in the group_flags field of a group's leader to indicate that is_software_event(event) is true for all events in a group. This is the only usage of event->group_flags. This pattern of setting a group level flags when all events in the group share a property is useful for the flag introduced in the next patch and for future CQM/CMT flags. So this patches generalizes group_flags to work as an aggregate of event level flags. PERF_GROUP_SOFTWARE denotes an inmutable event's property. All other flags that I intend to add are also determinable at event initialization. To better convey the above, this patch renames event's group_flags to group_caps and PERF_GROUP_SOFTWARE to PERF_EV_CAP_SOFTWARE. Individual event flags are stored in the new event->event_caps. Since the cap flags do not change after event initialization, there is no need to serialize event_caps. This new field is used when events are added to a context, similarly to how PERF_GROUP_SOFTWARE and is_software_event() worked. Lastly, for consistency, updates is_software_event() to rely in event_cap instead of the context index.

perf_counter: Dynamically allocate tasks' perf_counter_context struct This replaces the struct perf_counter_context in the task_struct with a pointer to a dynamically allocated perf_counter_context struct. The main reason for doing is this is to allow us to transfer a perf_counter_context from one task to another when we do lazy PMU switching in a later patch. This has a few side-benefits: the task_struct becomes a little smaller, we save some memory because only tasks that have perf_counters attached get a perf_counter_context allocated for them, and we can remove the inclusion of <linux/perf_counter.h> in sched.h, meaning that we don't end up recompiling nearly everything whenever perf_counter.h changes. The perf_counter_context structures are reference-counted and freed when the last reference is dropped. A context can have references from its task and the counters on its task. Counters can outlive the task so it is possible that a context will be freed well after its task has exited. Contexts are allocated on fork if the parent had a context, or otherwise the first time that a per-task counter is created on a task. In the latter case, we set the context pointer in the task struct locklessly using an atomic compare-and-exchange operation in case we raced with some other task in creating a context for the subject task. This also removes the task pointer from the perf_counter struct. The task pointer was not used anywhere and would make it harder to move a context from one task to another. Anything that needed to know which task a counter was attached to was already using counter->ctx->task. The __perf_counter_init_context function moves up in perf_counter.c so that it can be called from find_get_context, and now initializes the refcount, but is otherwise unchanged. We were potentially calling list_del_counter twice: once from __perf_counter_exit_task when the task exits and once from __perf_counter_remove_from_context when the counter's fd gets closed. This adds a check in list_del_counter so it doesn't do anything if the counter has already been removed from the lists. Since perf_counter_task_sched_in doesn't do anything if the task doesn't have a context, and leaves cpuctx->task_ctx = NULL, this adds code to __perf_install_in_context to set cpuctx->task_ctx if necessary, i.e. in the case where the current task adds the first counter to itself and thus creates a context for itself. This also adds similar code to __perf_counter_enable to handle a similar situation which can arise when the counters have been disabled using prctl; that also leaves cpuctx->task_ctx = NULL.

perf_counter: Dynamically allocate tasks' perf_counter_context struct This replaces the struct perf_counter_context in the task_struct with a pointer to a dynamically allocated perf_counter_context struct. The main reason for doing is this is to allow us to transfer a perf_counter_context from one task to another when we do lazy PMU switching in a later patch. This has a few side-benefits: the task_struct becomes a little smaller, we save some memory because only tasks that have perf_counters attached get a perf_counter_context allocated for them, and we can remove the inclusion of <linux/perf_counter.h> in sched.h, meaning that we don't end up recompiling nearly everything whenever perf_counter.h changes. The perf_counter_context structures are reference-counted and freed when the last reference is dropped. A context can have references from its task and the counters on its task. Counters can outlive the task so it is possible that a context will be freed well after its task has exited. Contexts are allocated on fork if the parent had a context, or otherwise the first time that a per-task counter is created on a task. In the latter case, we set the context pointer in the task struct locklessly using an atomic compare-and-exchange operation in case we raced with some other task in creating a context for the subject task. This also removes the task pointer from the perf_counter struct. The task pointer was not used anywhere and would make it harder to move a context from one task to another. Anything that needed to know which task a counter was attached to was already using counter->ctx->task. The __perf_counter_init_context function moves up in perf_counter.c so that it can be called from find_get_context, and now initializes the refcount, but is otherwise unchanged. We were potentially calling list_del_counter twice: once from __perf_counter_exit_task when the task exits and once from __perf_counter_remove_from_context when the counter's fd gets closed. This adds a check in list_del_counter so it doesn't do anything if the counter has already been removed from the lists. Since perf_counter_task_sched_in doesn't do anything if the task doesn't have a context, and leaves cpuctx->task_ctx = NULL, this adds code to __perf_install_in_context to set cpuctx->task_ctx if necessary, i.e. in the case where the current task adds the first counter to itself and thus creates a context for itself. This also adds similar code to __perf_counter_enable to handle a similar situation which can arise when the counters have been disabled using prctl; that also leaves cpuctx->task_ctx = NULL.

perf/core: Set cgroup in CPU contexts for new cgroup events There's a perf stat bug easy to observer on a machine with only one cgroup: $ perf stat -e cycles -I 1000 -C 0 -G / # time counts unit events 1.000161699 <not counted> cycles / 2.000355591 <not counted> cycles / 3.000565154 <not counted> cycles / 4.000951350 <not counted> cycles / We'd expect some output there. The underlying problem is that there is an optimization in perf_cgroup_sched_{in,out}() that skips the switch of cgroup events if the old and new cgroups in a task switch are the same. This optimization interacts with the current code in two ways that cause a CPU context's cgroup (cpuctx->cgrp) to be NULL even if a cgroup event matches the current task. These are: 1. On creation of the first cgroup event in a CPU: In current code, cpuctx->cpu is only set in perf_cgroup_sched_in, but due to the aforesaid optimization, perf_cgroup_sched_in will run until the next cgroup switches in that CPU. This may happen late or never happen, depending on system's number of cgroups, CPU load, etc. 2. On deletion of the last cgroup event in a cpuctx: In list_del_event, cpuctx->cgrp is set NULL. Any new cgroup event will not be sched in because cpuctx->cgrp == NULL until a cgroup switch occurs and perf_cgroup_sched_in is executed (updating cpuctx->cgrp). This patch fixes both problems by setting cpuctx->cgrp in list_add_event, mirroring what list_del_event does when removing a cgroup event from CPU context, as introduced in: commit 68cacd29167b ("perf_events: Fix stale ->cgrp pointer in update_cgrp_time_from_cpuctx()") With this patch, cpuctx->cgrp is always set/clear when installing/removing the first/last cgroup event in/from the CPU context. With cpuctx->cgrp correctly set, event_filter_match works as intended when events are sched in/out. After the fix, the output is as expected: $ perf stat -e cycles -I 1000 -a -G / # time counts unit events 1.004699159 627342882 cycles / 2.007397156 615272690 cycles / 3.010019057 616726074 cycles / Signed-off-by: David Carrillo-Cisneros <davidcc@google.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Kan Liang <kan.liang@intel.com> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Paul Turner <pjt@google.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Vegard Nossum <vegard.nossum@gmail.com> Cc: Vince Weaver <vincent.weaver@maine.edu> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1470124092-113192-1-git-send-email-davidcc@google.com Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

perf/core: Generalize event->group_flags Currently, PERF_GROUP_SOFTWARE is used in the group_flags field of a group's leader to indicate that is_software_event(event) is true for all events in a group. This is the only usage of event->group_flags. This pattern of setting a group level flags when all events in the group share a property is useful for the flag introduced in the next patch and for future CQM/CMT flags. So this patches generalizes group_flags to work as an aggregate of event level flags. PERF_GROUP_SOFTWARE denotes an inmutable event's property. All other flags that I intend to add are also determinable at event initialization. To better convey the above, this patch renames event's group_flags to group_caps and PERF_GROUP_SOFTWARE to PERF_EV_CAP_SOFTWARE. Individual event flags are stored in the new event->event_caps. Since the cap flags do not change after event initialization, there is no need to serialize event_caps. This new field is used when events are added to a context, similarly to how PERF_GROUP_SOFTWARE and is_software_event() worked. Lastly, for consistency, updates is_software_event() to rely in event_cap instead of the context index.

perf: Add queued work to remove orphaned child events In cases when the owner task exits before the workload and the workload made some forks, all the events stay in until the last workload process exits. Thats' because each child event holds parent reference. We want to release all children events once the parent is gone, because at that time there's no process to read them anyway, so they're just eating resources. This removal races with process exit, which removes all events and fork, which clone events. To be clear of those two, adding work queue to remove orphaned child for context in case such event is detected. Using delayed work queue (with delay == 1), because we queue this work under perf scheduler callbacks. Normal work queue tries to wake up the queue process, which deadlocks on rq->lock in this place. Also preventing clones from abandoned parent event.

perf: Fix cloning Alexander reported that when the 'original' context gets destroyed, no new clones happen. This can happen irrespective of the ctx switch optimization, any task can die, even the parent, and we want to continue monitoring the task hierarchy until we either close the event or no tasks are left in the hierarchy. perf_event_init_context() will attempt to pin the 'parent' context during clone(). At that point current is the parent, and since current cannot have exited while executing clone(), its context cannot have passed through perf_event_exit_task_context(). Therefore perf_pin_task_context() cannot observe ctx->task == TASK_TOMBSTONE. However, since inherit_event() does: if (parent_event->parent) parent_event = parent_event->parent; it looks at the 'original' event when it does: is_orphaned_event(). This can return true if the context that contains the this event has passed through perf_event_exit_task_context(). And thus we'll fail to clone the perf context. Fix this by adding a new state: STATE_DEAD, which is set by perf_release() to indicate that the filedesc (or kernel reference) is dead and there are no observers for our data left. Only for STATE_DEAD will is_orphaned_event() be true and inhibit cloning. STATE_EXIT is otherwise preserved such that is_event_hup() remains functional and will report when the observed task hierarchy becomes empty.

perf: Add queued work to remove orphaned child events In cases when the owner task exits before the workload and the workload made some forks, all the events stay in until the last workload process exits. Thats' because each child event holds parent reference. We want to release all children events once the parent is gone, because at that time there's no process to read them anyway, so they're just eating resources. This removal races with process exit, which removes all events and fork, which clone events. To be clear of those two, adding work queue to remove orphaned child for context in case such event is detected. Using delayed work queue (with delay == 1), because we queue this work under perf scheduler callbacks. Normal work queue tries to wake up the queue process, which deadlocks on rq->lock in this place. Also preventing clones from abandoned parent event.

perf/core: Fix pmu::filter_match for SW-led groups The following commit: 66eb579e66ec ("perf: allow for PMU-specific event filtering") added the pmu::filter_match() callback. This was intended to avoid HW constraints on events from resulting in extremely pessimistic scheduling. However, pmu::filter_match() is only called for the leader of each event group. When the leader is a SW event, we do not filter the groups, and may fail at pmu::add() time, and when this happens we'll give up on scheduling any event groups later in the list until they are rotated ahead of the failing group. This can result in extremely sub-optimal event scheduling behaviour, e.g. if running the following on a big.LITTLE platform: $ taskset -c 0 ./perf stat \ -e 'a57{context-switches,armv8_cortex_a57/config=0x11/}' \ -e 'a53{context-switches,armv8_cortex_a53/config=0x11/}' \ ls <not counted> context-switches (0.00%) <not counted> armv8_cortex_a57/config=0x11/ (0.00%) 24 context-switches (37.36%) 57589154 armv8_cortex_a53/config=0x11/ (37.36%) Here the 'a53' event group was always eligible to be scheduled, but the 'a57' group never eligible to be scheduled, as the task was always affine to a Cortex-A53 CPU. The SW (group leader) event in the 'a57' group was eligible, but the HW event failed at pmu::add() time, resulting in ctx_flexible_sched_in giving up on scheduling further groups with HW events. One way of avoiding this is to check pmu::filter_match() on siblings as well as the group leader. If any of these fail their pmu::filter_match() call, we must skip the entire group before attempting to add any events.

static inline int __pmu_filter_match(struct perf_event *event)
perf: allow for PMU-specific event filtering 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.

perf_counter: Add support for pinned and exclusive counter groups Impact: New perf_counter features A pinned counter group is one that the user wants to have on the CPU whenever possible, i.e. whenever the associated task is running, for a per-task group, or always for a per-cpu group. If the system cannot satisfy that, it puts the group into an error state where it is not scheduled any more and reads from it return EOF (i.e. 0 bytes read). The group can be released from error state and made readable again using prctl(PR_TASK_PERF_COUNTERS_ENABLE). When we have finer-grained enable/disable controls on counters we'll be able to reset the error state on individual groups. An exclusive group is one that the user wants to be the only group using the CPU performance monitor hardware whenever it is on. The counter group scheduler will not schedule an exclusive group if there are already other groups on the CPU and will not schedule other groups onto the CPU if there is an exclusive group scheduled (that statement does not apply to groups containing only software counters, which can always go on and which do not prevent an exclusive group from going on). With an exclusive group, we will be able to let users program PMU registers at a low level without the concern that those settings will perturb other measurements. Along the way this reorganizes things a little: - is_software_counter() is moved to perf_counter.h. - cpuctx->active_oncpu now records the number of hardware counters on the CPU, i.e. it now excludes software counters. Nothing was reading cpuctx->active_oncpu before, so this change is harmless. - A new cpuctx->exclusive field records whether we currently have an exclusive group on the CPU. - counter_sched_out moves higher up in perf_counter.c and gets called from __perf_counter_remove_from_context and __perf_counter_exit_task, where we used to have essentially the same code. - __perf_counter_sched_in now goes through the counter list twice, doing the pinned counters in the first loop and the non-pinned counters in the second loop, in order to give the pinned counters the best chance to be scheduled in. Note that only a group leader can be exclusive or pinned, and that attribute applies to the whole group. This avoids some awkwardness in some corner cases (e.g. where a group leader is closed and the other group members get added to the context list). If we want to relax that restriction later, we can, and it is easier to relax a restriction than to apply a new one. This doesn't yet handle the case where a pinned counter is inherited and goes into error state in the child - the error state is not propagated up to the parent when the child exits, and arguably it should.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

perf_counter: Add support for pinned and exclusive counter groups Impact: New perf_counter features A pinned counter group is one that the user wants to have on the CPU whenever possible, i.e. whenever the associated task is running, for a per-task group, or always for a per-cpu group. If the system cannot satisfy that, it puts the group into an error state where it is not scheduled any more and reads from it return EOF (i.e. 0 bytes read). The group can be released from error state and made readable again using prctl(PR_TASK_PERF_COUNTERS_ENABLE). When we have finer-grained enable/disable controls on counters we'll be able to reset the error state on individual groups. An exclusive group is one that the user wants to be the only group using the CPU performance monitor hardware whenever it is on. The counter group scheduler will not schedule an exclusive group if there are already other groups on the CPU and will not schedule other groups onto the CPU if there is an exclusive group scheduled (that statement does not apply to groups containing only software counters, which can always go on and which do not prevent an exclusive group from going on). With an exclusive group, we will be able to let users program PMU registers at a low level without the concern that those settings will perturb other measurements. Along the way this reorganizes things a little: - is_software_counter() is moved to perf_counter.h. - cpuctx->active_oncpu now records the number of hardware counters on the CPU, i.e. it now excludes software counters. Nothing was reading cpuctx->active_oncpu before, so this change is harmless. - A new cpuctx->exclusive field records whether we currently have an exclusive group on the CPU. - counter_sched_out moves higher up in perf_counter.c and gets called from __perf_counter_remove_from_context and __perf_counter_exit_task, where we used to have essentially the same code. - __perf_counter_sched_in now goes through the counter list twice, doing the pinned counters in the first loop and the non-pinned counters in the second loop, in order to give the pinned counters the best chance to be scheduled in. Note that only a group leader can be exclusive or pinned, and that attribute applies to the whole group. This avoids some awkwardness in some corner cases (e.g. where a group leader is closed and the other group members get added to the context list). If we want to relax that restriction later, we can, and it is easier to relax a restriction than to apply a new one. This doesn't yet handle the case where a pinned counter is inherited and goes into error state in the child - the error state is not propagated up to the parent when the child exits, and arguably it should.

perf: Decouple unthrottling and rotating Currently the adjusments made as part of perf_event_task_tick() use the percpu rotation lists to iterate over any active PMU contexts, but these are not used by the context rotation code, having been replaced by separate (per-context) hrtimer callbacks. However, some manipulation of the rotation lists (i.e. removal of contexts) has remained in perf_rotate_context(). This leads to the following issues: * Contexts are not always removed from the rotation lists. Removal of PMUs which have been placed in rotation lists, but have not been removed by a hrtimer callback can result in corruption of the rotation lists (when memory backing the context is freed). This has been observed to result in hangs when PMU drivers built as modules are inserted and removed around the creation of events for said PMUs. * Contexts which do not require rotation may be removed from the rotation lists as a result of a hrtimer, and will not be considered by the unthrottling code in perf_event_task_tick. This patch fixes the issue by updating the rotation ist when events are scheduled in/out, ensuring that each rotation list stays in sync with the HW state. As each event holds a refcount on the module of its PMU, this ensures that when a PMU module is unloaded none of its CPU contexts can be in a rotation list. By maintaining a list of perf_event_contexts rather than perf_event_cpu_contexts, we don't need separate paths to handle the cpu and task contexts, which also makes the code a little simpler. As the rotation_list variables are not used for rotation, these are renamed to active_ctx_list, which better matches their current function. perf_pmu_rotate_{start,stop} are renamed to perf_pmu_ctx_{activate,deactivate}.

perf_counter: Add counter enable/disable ioctls Impact: New perf_counter features This primarily adds a way for perf_counter users to enable and disable counters and groups. Enabling or disabling a counter or group also enables or disables all of the child counters that have been cloned from it to monitor children of the task monitored by the top-level counter. The userspace interface to enable/disable counters is via ioctl on the counter file descriptor. Along the way this extends the code that handles child counters to handle child counter groups properly. A group with multiple counters will be cloned to child tasks if and only if the group leader has the hw_event.inherit bit set - if it is set the whole group is cloned as a group in the child task. In order to be able to enable or disable all child counters of a given top-level counter, we need a way to find them all. Hence I have added a child_list field to struct perf_counter, which is the head of the list of children for a top-level counter, or the link in that list for a child counter. That list is protected by the perf_counter.mutex field. This also adds a mutex to the perf_counter_context struct. Previously the list of counters was protected just by the lock field in the context, which meant that perf_counter_init_task had to take that lock and then take whatever lock/mutex protects the top-level counter's child_list. But the counter enable/disable functions need to take that lock in order to traverse the list, then for each counter take the lock in that counter's context in order to change the counter's state safely, which will lead to a deadlock. To solve this, we now have both a mutex and a spinlock in the context, and taking either is sufficient to ensure the list of counters can't change - you have to take both before changing the list. Now perf_counter_init_task takes the mutex instead of the lock (which incidentally means that inherit_counter can use GFP_KERNEL instead of GFP_ATOMIC) and thus avoids the possible deadlock. Similarly the new enable/disable functions can take the mutex while traversing the list of child counters without incurring a possible deadlock when the counter manipulation code locks the context for a child counter. We also had an misfeature that the first counter added to a context would possibly not go on until the next sched-in, because we were using ctx->nr_active to detect if the context was running on a CPU. But nr_active is the number of active counters, and if that was zero (because the context didn't have any counters yet) it would look like the context wasn't running on a cpu and so the retry code in __perf_install_in_context wouldn't retry. So this adds an 'is_active' field that is set when the context is on a CPU, even if it has no counters. The is_active field is only used for task contexts, not for per-cpu contexts. If we enable a subsidiary counter in a group that is active on a CPU, and the arch code can't enable the counter, then we have to pull the whole group off the CPU. We do this with group_sched_out, which gets moved up in the file so it comes before all its callers. This also adds similar logic to __perf_install_in_context so that the "all on, or none" invariant of groups is preserved when adding a new counter to a group.

perf_counter: Add counter enable/disable ioctls Impact: New perf_counter features This primarily adds a way for perf_counter users to enable and disable counters and groups. Enabling or disabling a counter or group also enables or disables all of the child counters that have been cloned from it to monitor children of the task monitored by the top-level counter. The userspace interface to enable/disable counters is via ioctl on the counter file descriptor. Along the way this extends the code that handles child counters to handle child counter groups properly. A group with multiple counters will be cloned to child tasks if and only if the group leader has the hw_event.inherit bit set - if it is set the whole group is cloned as a group in the child task. In order to be able to enable or disable all child counters of a given top-level counter, we need a way to find them all. Hence I have added a child_list field to struct perf_counter, which is the head of the list of children for a top-level counter, or the link in that list for a child counter. That list is protected by the perf_counter.mutex field. This also adds a mutex to the perf_counter_context struct. Previously the list of counters was protected just by the lock field in the context, which meant that perf_counter_init_task had to take that lock and then take whatever lock/mutex protects the top-level counter's child_list. But the counter enable/disable functions need to take that lock in order to traverse the list, then for each counter take the lock in that counter's context in order to change the counter's state safely, which will lead to a deadlock. To solve this, we now have both a mutex and a spinlock in the context, and taking either is sufficient to ensure the list of counters can't change - you have to take both before changing the list. Now perf_counter_init_task takes the mutex instead of the lock (which incidentally means that inherit_counter can use GFP_KERNEL instead of GFP_ATOMIC) and thus avoids the possible deadlock. Similarly the new enable/disable functions can take the mutex while traversing the list of child counters without incurring a possible deadlock when the counter manipulation code locks the context for a child counter. We also had an misfeature that the first counter added to a context would possibly not go on until the next sched-in, because we were using ctx->nr_active to detect if the context was running on a CPU. But nr_active is the number of active counters, and if that was zero (because the context didn't have any counters yet) it would look like the context wasn't running on a cpu and so the retry code in __perf_install_in_context wouldn't retry. So this adds an 'is_active' field that is set when the context is on a CPU, even if it has no counters. The is_active field is only used for task contexts, not for per-cpu contexts. If we enable a subsidiary counter in a group that is active on a CPU, and the arch code can't enable the counter, then we have to pull the whole group off the CPU. We do this with group_sched_out, which gets moved up in the file so it comes before all its callers. This also adds similar logic to __perf_install_in_context so that the "all on, or none" invariant of groups is preserved when adding a new counter to a group.

perf/core: Sched out groups atomically Groups of events are supposed to be scheduled atomically, such that it is possible to derive meaningful ratios between their values. We take great pains to achieve this when scheduling event groups to a PMU in group_sched_in(), calling {start,commit}_txn() (which fall back to perf_pmu_{disable,enable}() if necessary) to provide this guarantee. However we don't mirror this in group_sched_out(), and in some cases events will not be scheduled out atomically. For example, if we disable an event group with PERF_EVENT_IOC_DISABLE, we'll cross-call __perf_event_disable() for the group leader, and will call group_sched_out() without having first disabled the relevant PMU. We will disable/enable the PMU around each pmu->del() call, but between each call the PMU will be enabled and events may count. Avoid this by explicitly disabling and enabling the PMU around event removal in group_sched_out(), mirroring what we do in group_sched_in().

This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them.

perf_counter: Add counter enable/disable ioctls Impact: New perf_counter features This primarily adds a way for perf_counter users to enable and disable counters and groups. Enabling or disabling a counter or group also enables or disables all of the child counters that have been cloned from it to monitor children of the task monitored by the top-level counter. The userspace interface to enable/disable counters is via ioctl on the counter file descriptor. Along the way this extends the code that handles child counters to handle child counter groups properly. A group with multiple counters will be cloned to child tasks if and only if the group leader has the hw_event.inherit bit set - if it is set the whole group is cloned as a group in the child task. In order to be able to enable or disable all child counters of a given top-level counter, we need a way to find them all. Hence I have added a child_list field to struct perf_counter, which is the head of the list of children for a top-level counter, or the link in that list for a child counter. That list is protected by the perf_counter.mutex field. This also adds a mutex to the perf_counter_context struct. Previously the list of counters was protected just by the lock field in the context, which meant that perf_counter_init_task had to take that lock and then take whatever lock/mutex protects the top-level counter's child_list. But the counter enable/disable functions need to take that lock in order to traverse the list, then for each counter take the lock in that counter's context in order to change the counter's state safely, which will lead to a deadlock. To solve this, we now have both a mutex and a spinlock in the context, and taking either is sufficient to ensure the list of counters can't change - you have to take both before changing the list. Now perf_counter_init_task takes the mutex instead of the lock (which incidentally means that inherit_counter can use GFP_KERNEL instead of GFP_ATOMIC) and thus avoids the possible deadlock. Similarly the new enable/disable functions can take the mutex while traversing the list of child counters without incurring a possible deadlock when the counter manipulation code locks the context for a child counter. We also had an misfeature that the first counter added to a context would possibly not go on until the next sched-in, because we were using ctx->nr_active to detect if the context was running on a CPU. But nr_active is the number of active counters, and if that was zero (because the context didn't have any counters yet) it would look like the context wasn't running on a cpu and so the retry code in __perf_install_in_context wouldn't retry. So this adds an 'is_active' field that is set when the context is on a CPU, even if it has no counters. The is_active field is only used for task contexts, not for per-cpu contexts. If we enable a subsidiary counter in a group that is active on a CPU, and the arch code can't enable the counter, then we have to pull the whole group off the CPU. We do this with group_sched_out, which gets moved up in the file so it comes before all its callers. This also adds similar logic to __perf_install_in_context so that the "all on, or none" invariant of groups is preserved when adding a new counter to a group.

perf/core: Sched out groups atomically Groups of events are supposed to be scheduled atomically, such that it is possible to derive meaningful ratios between their values. We take great pains to achieve this when scheduling event groups to a PMU in group_sched_in(), calling {start,commit}_txn() (which fall back to perf_pmu_{disable,enable}() if necessary) to provide this guarantee. However we don't mirror this in group_sched_out(), and in some cases events will not be scheduled out atomically. For example, if we disable an event group with PERF_EVENT_IOC_DISABLE, we'll cross-call __perf_event_disable() for the group leader, and will call group_sched_out() without having first disabled the relevant PMU. We will disable/enable the PMU around each pmu->del() call, but between each call the PMU will be enabled and events may count. Avoid this by explicitly disabling and enabling the PMU around event removal in group_sched_out(), mirroring what we do in group_sched_in().

So, if during <hole> we get ctx_sched_out(), it will miss the event and not call event_sched_out() on it, leaving it programmed on the PMU. The subsequent perf_remove_from_context() call will find the ctx is inactive and only call list_del_event() to remove the event from all other lists. Hereafter we can proceed to free the event; while still programmed! Close this hole by moving perf_group_detach() inside the same ctx->lock region(s) perf_remove_from_context() has. The condition on inherited events only in __perf_event_exit_task() is likely complete crap because non-inherited events are part of groups too and we're tearing down just the same.

list_del_event(event, ctx);
perf: Fix task context scheduling There is a very nasty problem wrt disabling the perf task scheduling hooks. Currently we {set,clear} ctx->is_active on every __perf_event_task_sched_{in,out}, _however_ this means that if we disable these calls we'll have task contexts with ->is_active set that are not active and 'active' task contexts without ->is_active set. This can result in event_function_call() looping on the ctx->is_active condition basically indefinitely. Resolve this by changing things such that contexts without events do not set ->is_active like we used to. From this invariant it trivially follows that if there are no (task) events, every task ctx is inactive and disabling the context switch hooks is harmless. This leaves two places that need attention (and already had accumulated weird and wonderful hacks to work around, without recognising this actual problem).

perf: Fix task context scheduling There is a very nasty problem wrt disabling the perf task scheduling hooks. Currently we {set,clear} ctx->is_active on every __perf_event_task_sched_{in,out}, _however_ this means that if we disable these calls we'll have task contexts with ->is_active set that are not active and 'active' task contexts without ->is_active set. This can result in event_function_call() looping on the ctx->is_active condition basically indefinitely. Resolve this by changing things such that contexts without events do not set ->is_active like we used to. From this invariant it trivially follows that if there are no (task) events, every task ctx is inactive and disabling the context switch hooks is harmless. This leaves two places that need attention (and already had accumulated weird and wonderful hacks to work around, without recognising this actual problem). Namely: - perf_install_in_context() will need to deal with installing events in an inactive context, meaning it cannot rely on ctx-is_active for its IPIs. - perf_remove_from_context() will have to mark a context as inactive when it removes the last event.

perf_counter: Fix race in attaching counters to tasks and exiting Commit 564c2b21 ("perf_counter: Optimize context switch between identical inherited contexts") introduced a race where it is possible that a counter being attached to a task could get attached to the wrong task, if the task is one that has inherited its context from another task via fork. This happens because the optimized context switch could switch the context to another task after find_get_context has read task->perf_counter_ctxp. In fact, it's possible that the context could then get freed, if the other task then exits. This fixes the problem by protecting both the context switch and the critical code in find_get_context with spinlocks. The context switch locks the cxt->lock of both the outgoing and incoming contexts before swapping them. That means that once code such as find_get_context has obtained the spinlock for the context associated with a task, the context can't get swapped to another task. However, the context may have been swapped in the interval between reading task->perf_counter_ctxp and getting the lock, so it is necessary to check and retry. To make sure that none of the contexts being looked at in find_get_context can get freed, this changes the context freeing code to use RCU. Thus an rcu_read_lock() is sufficient to ensure that no contexts can get freed. This part of the patch is lifted from a patch posted by Peter Zijlstra. This also adds a check to make sure that we can't add a counter to a task that is exiting. There is also a race between perf_counter_exit_task and find_get_context; this solves the race by moving the get_ctx that was in perf_counter_alloc into the locked region in find_get_context, so that once find_get_context has got the context for a task, it won't get freed even if the task calls perf_counter_exit_task. It doesn't matter if new top-level (non-inherited) counters get attached to the context after perf_counter_exit_task has detached the context from the task. They will just stay there and never get scheduled in until the counters' fds get closed, and then perf_release will remove them from the context and eventually free the context. With this, we are now doing the unclone in find_get_context rather than when a counter was added to or removed from a context (actually, we were missing the unclone_ctx() call when adding a counter to a context). We don't need to unclone when removing a counter from a context because we have no way to remove a counter from a cloned context. This also takes out the smp_wmb() in find_get_context, which Peter Zijlstra pointed out was unnecessary because the cmpxchg implies a full barrier anyway.

perf_counter: Add counter enable/disable ioctls Impact: New perf_counter features This primarily adds a way for perf_counter users to enable and disable counters and groups. Enabling or disabling a counter or group also enables or disables all of the child counters that have been cloned from it to monitor children of the task monitored by the top-level counter. The userspace interface to enable/disable counters is via ioctl on the counter file descriptor. Along the way this extends the code that handles child counters to handle child counter groups properly. A group with multiple counters will be cloned to child tasks if and only if the group leader has the hw_event.inherit bit set - if it is set the whole group is cloned as a group in the child task. In order to be able to enable or disable all child counters of a given top-level counter, we need a way to find them all. Hence I have added a child_list field to struct perf_counter, which is the head of the list of children for a top-level counter, or the link in that list for a child counter. That list is protected by the perf_counter.mutex field. This also adds a mutex to the perf_counter_context struct. Previously the list of counters was protected just by the lock field in the context, which meant that perf_counter_init_task had to take that lock and then take whatever lock/mutex protects the top-level counter's child_list. But the counter enable/disable functions need to take that lock in order to traverse the list, then for each counter take the lock in that counter's context in order to change the counter's state safely, which will lead to a deadlock. To solve this, we now have both a mutex and a spinlock in the context, and taking either is sufficient to ensure the list of counters can't change - you have to take both before changing the list. Now perf_counter_init_task takes the mutex instead of the lock (which incidentally means that inherit_counter can use GFP_KERNEL instead of GFP_ATOMIC) and thus avoids the possible deadlock. Similarly the new enable/disable functions can take the mutex while traversing the list of child counters without incurring a possible deadlock when the counter manipulation code locks the context for a child counter. We also had an misfeature that the first counter added to a context would possibly not go on until the next sched-in, because we were using ctx->nr_active to detect if the context was running on a CPU. But nr_active is the number of active counters, and if that was zero (because the context didn't have any counters yet) it would look like the context wasn't running on a cpu and so the retry code in __perf_install_in_context wouldn't retry. So this adds an 'is_active' field that is set when the context is on a CPU, even if it has no counters. The is_active field is only used for task contexts, not for per-cpu contexts. If we enable a subsidiary counter in a group that is active on a CPU, and the arch code can't enable the counter, then we have to pull the whole group off the CPU. We do this with group_sched_out, which gets moved up in the file so it comes before all its callers. This also adds similar logic to __perf_install_in_context so that the "all on, or none" invariant of groups is preserved when adding a new counter to a group.

To solve this, we now have both a mutex and a spinlock in the context, and taking either is sufficient to ensure the list of counters can't change - you have to take both before changing the list. Now perf_counter_init_task takes the mutex instead of the lock (which incidentally means that inherit_counter can use GFP_KERNEL instead of GFP_ATOMIC) and thus avoids the possible deadlock. Similarly the new enable/disable functions can take the mutex while traversing the list of child counters without incurring a possible deadlock when the counter manipulation code locks the context for a child counter. We also had an misfeature that the first counter added to a context would possibly not go on until the next sched-in, because we were using ctx->nr_active to detect if the context was running on a CPU. But nr_active is the number of active counters, and if that was zero (because the context didn't have any counters yet) it would look like the context wasn't running on a cpu and so the retry code in __perf_install_in_context wouldn't retry. So this adds an 'is_active' field that is set when the context is on a CPU, even if it has no counters. The is_active field is only used for task contexts, not for per-cpu contexts. If we enable a subsidiary counter in a group that is active on a CPU, and the arch code can't enable the counter, then we have to pull the whole group off the CPU. We do this with group_sched_out, which gets moved up in the file so it comes before all its callers. This also adds similar logic to __perf_install_in_context so that the "all on, or none" invariant of groups is preserved when adding a new counter to a group.

perf_counter: Add counter enable/disable ioctls Impact: New perf_counter features This primarily adds a way for perf_counter users to enable and disable counters and groups. Enabling or disabling a counter or group also enables or disables all of the child counters that have been cloned from it to monitor children of the task monitored by the top-level counter. The userspace interface to enable/disable counters is via ioctl on the counter file descriptor. Along the way this extends the code that handles child counters to handle child counter groups properly. A group with multiple counters will be cloned to child tasks if and only if the group leader has the hw_event.inherit bit set - if it is set the whole group is cloned as a group in the child task. In order to be able to enable or disable all child counters of a given top-level counter, we need a way to find them all. Hence I have added a child_list field to struct perf_counter, which is the head of the list of children for a top-level counter, or the link in that list for a child counter. That list is protected by the perf_counter.mutex field. This also adds a mutex to the perf_counter_context struct. Previously the list of counters was protected just by the lock field in the context, which meant that perf_counter_init_task had to take that lock and then take whatever lock/mutex protects the top-level counter's child_list. But the counter enable/disable functions need to take that lock in order to traverse the list, then for each counter take the lock in that counter's context in order to change the counter's state safely, which will lead to a deadlock. To solve this, we now have both a mutex and a spinlock in the context, and taking either is sufficient to ensure the list of counters can't change - you have to take both before changing the list. Now perf_counter_init_task takes the mutex instead of the lock (which incidentally means that inherit_counter can use GFP_KERNEL instead of GFP_ATOMIC) and thus avoids the possible deadlock. Similarly the new enable/disable functions can take the mutex while traversing the list of child counters without incurring a possible deadlock when the counter manipulation code locks the context for a child counter. We also had an misfeature that the first counter added to a context would possibly not go on until the next sched-in, because we were using ctx->nr_active to detect if the context was running on a CPU. But nr_active is the number of active counters, and if that was zero (because the context didn't have any counters yet) it would look like the context wasn't running on a cpu and so the retry code in __perf_install_in_context wouldn't retry. So this adds an 'is_active' field that is set when the context is on a CPU, even if it has no counters. The is_active field is only used for task contexts, not for per-cpu contexts. If we enable a subsidiary counter in a group that is active on a CPU, and the arch code can't enable the counter, then we have to pull the whole group off the CPU. We do this with group_sched_out, which gets moved up in the file so it comes before all its callers.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

perf_counter: Fix race in attaching counters to tasks and exiting Commit 564c2b21 ("perf_counter: Optimize context switch between identical inherited contexts") introduced a race where it is possible that a counter being attached to a task could get attached to the wrong task, if the task is one that has inherited its context from another task via fork. This happens because the optimized context switch could switch the context to another task after find_get_context has read task->perf_counter_ctxp. In fact, it's possible that the context could then get freed, if the other task then exits. This fixes the problem by protecting both the context switch and the critical code in find_get_context with spinlocks. The context switch locks the cxt->lock of both the outgoing and incoming contexts before swapping them. That means that once code such as find_get_context has obtained the spinlock for the context associated with a task, the context can't get swapped to another task. However, the context may have been swapped in the interval between reading task->perf_counter_ctxp and getting the lock, so it is necessary to check and retry. To make sure that none of the contexts being looked at in find_get_context can get freed, this changes the context freeing code to use RCU. Thus an rcu_read_lock() is sufficient to ensure that no contexts can get freed. This part of the patch is lifted from a patch posted by Peter Zijlstra. This also adds a check to make sure that we can't add a counter to a task that is exiting. There is also a race between perf_counter_exit_task and find_get_context; this solves the race by moving the get_ctx that was in perf_counter_alloc into the locked region in find_get_context, so that once find_get_context has got the context for a task, it won't get freed even if the task calls perf_counter_exit_task. It doesn't matter if new top-level (non-inherited) counters get attached to the context after perf_counter_exit_task has detached the context from the task. They will just stay there and never get scheduled in until the counters' fds get closed, and then perf_release will remove them from the context and eventually free the context. With this, we are now doing the unclone in find_get_context rather than when a counter was added to or removed from a context (actually, we were missing the unclone_ctx() call when adding a counter to a context). We don't need to unclone when removing a counter from a context because we have no way to remove a counter from a cloned context. This also takes out the smp_wmb() in find_get_context, which Peter Zijlstra pointed out was unnecessary because the cmpxchg implies a full barrier anyway.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

perf_counter: Add counter enable/disable ioctls Impact: New perf_counter features This primarily adds a way for perf_counter users to enable and disable counters and groups. Enabling or disabling a counter or group also enables or disables all of the child counters that have been cloned from it to monitor children of the task monitored by the top-level counter. The userspace interface to enable/disable counters is via ioctl on the counter file descriptor. Along the way this extends the code that handles child counters to handle child counter groups properly. A group with multiple counters will be cloned to child tasks if and only if the group leader has the hw_event.inherit bit set - if it is set the whole group is cloned as a group in the child task. In order to be able to enable or disable all child counters of a given top-level counter, we need a way to find them all. Hence I have added a child_list field to struct perf_counter, which is the head of the list of children for a top-level counter, or the link in that list for a child counter. That list is protected by the perf_counter.mutex field. This also adds a mutex to the perf_counter_context struct. Previously the list of counters was protected just by the lock field in the context, which meant that perf_counter_init_task had to take that lock and then take whatever lock/mutex protects the top-level counter's child_list. But the counter enable/disable functions need to take that lock in order to traverse the list, then for each counter take the lock in that counter's context in order to change the counter's state safely, which will lead to a deadlock. To solve this, we now have both a mutex and a spinlock in the context, and taking either is sufficient to ensure the list of counters can't change - you have to take both before changing the list. Now perf_counter_init_task takes the mutex instead of the lock (which incidentally means that inherit_counter can use GFP_KERNEL instead of GFP_ATOMIC) and thus avoids the possible deadlock. Similarly the new enable/disable functions can take the mutex while traversing the list of child counters without incurring a possible deadlock when the counter manipulation code locks the context for a child counter. We also had an misfeature that the first counter added to a context would possibly not go on until the next sched-in, because we were using ctx->nr_active to detect if the context was running on a CPU. But nr_active is the number of active counters, and if that was zero (because the context didn't have any counters yet) it would look like the context wasn't running on a cpu and so the retry code in __perf_install_in_context wouldn't retry. So this adds an 'is_active' field that is set when the context is on a CPU, even if it has no counters. The is_active field is only used for task contexts, not for per-cpu contexts. If we enable a subsidiary counter in a group that is active on a CPU, and the arch code can't enable the counter, then we have to pull the whole group off the CPU. We do this with group_sched_out, which gets moved up in the file so it comes before all its callers. This also adds similar logic to __perf_install_in_context so that the "all on, or none" invariant of groups is preserved when adding a new counter to a group.

perf_counter: record time running and time enabled for each counter Impact: new functionality Currently, if there are more counters enabled than can fit on the CPU, the kernel will multiplex the counters on to the hardware using round-robin scheduling. That isn't too bad for sampling counters, but for counting counters it means that the value read from a counter represents some unknown fraction of the true count of events that occurred while the counter was enabled. This remedies the situation by keeping track of how long each counter is enabled for, and how long it is actually on the cpu and counting events. These times are recorded in nanoseconds using the task clock for per-task counters and the cpu clock for per-cpu counters. These values can be supplied to userspace on a read from the counter. Userspace requests that they be supplied after the counter value by setting the PERF_FORMAT_TOTAL_TIME_ENABLED and/or PERF_FORMAT_TOTAL_TIME_RUNNING bits in the hw_event.read_format field when creating the counter. (There is no way to change the read format after the counter is created, though it would be possible to add some way to do that.) Using this information it is possible for userspace to scale the count it reads from the counter to get an estimate of the true count: true_count_estimate = count * total_time_enabled / total_time_running This also lets userspace detect the situation where the counter never got to go on the cpu: total_time_running == 0. This functionality has been requested by the PAPI developers, and will be generally needed for interpreting the count values from counting counters correctly. In the implementation, this keeps 5 time values (in nanoseconds) for each counter: total_time_enabled and total_time_running are used when the counter is in state OFF or ERROR and for reporting back to userspace. When the counter is in state INACTIVE or ACTIVE, it is the tstamp_enabled, tstamp_running and tstamp_stopped values that are relevant, and total_time_enabled and total_time_running are determined from them. (tstamp_stopped is only used in INACTIVE state.) The reason for doing it like this is that it means that only counters being enabled or disabled at sched-in and sched-out time need to be updated. There are no new loops that iterate over all counters to update total_time_enabled or total_time_running. This also keeps separate child_total_time_running and child_total_time_enabled fields that get added in when reporting the totals to userspace. They are separate fields so that they can be atomic. We don't want to use atomics for total_time_running, total_time_enabled etc., because then we would have to use atomic sequences to update them, which are slower than regular arithmetic and memory accesses. It is possible to measure total_time_running by adding a task_clock counter to each group of counters, and total_time_enabled can be measured approximately with a top-level task_clock counter (though inaccuracies will creep in if you need to disable and enable groups since it is not possible in general to disable/enable the top-level task_clock counter simultaneously with another group). However, that adds extra overhead - I measured around 15% increase in the context switch latency reported by lat_ctx (from lmbench) when a task_clock counter was added to each of 2 groups, and around 25% increase when a task_clock counter was added to each of 4 groups. (In both cases a top-level task-clock counter was also added.) In contrast, the code added in this commit gives better information with no overhead that I could measure (in fact in some cases I measured lower times with this code, but the differences were all less than one standard deviation).

perf: Add ITRACE_START record to indicate that tracing has started For counters that generate AUX data that is bound to the context of a running task, such as instruction tracing, the decoder needs to know exactly which task is running when the event is first scheduled in, before the first sched_switch. The decoder's need to know this stems from the fact that instruction flow trace decoding will almost always require program's object code in order to reconstruct said flow and for that we need at least its pid/tid in the perf stream. To single out such instruction tracing pmus, this patch introduces ITRACE PMU capability. The reason this is not part of RECORD_AUX record is that not all pmus capable of generating AUX data need this, and the opposite is *probably* also true. While sched_switch covers for most cases, there are two problems with it: the consumer will need to process events out of order (that is, having found RECORD_AUX, it will have to skip forward to the nearest sched_switch to figure out which task it was, then go back to the actual trace to decode it) and it completely misses the case when the tracing is enabled and disabled before sched_switch, for example, via PERF_EVENT_IOC_DISABLE.

perf_counter: Add support for pinned and exclusive counter groups Impact: New perf_counter features A pinned counter group is one that the user wants to have on the CPU whenever possible, i.e. whenever the associated task is running, for a per-task group, or always for a per-cpu group. If the system cannot satisfy that, it puts the group into an error state where it is not scheduled any more and reads from it return EOF (i.e. 0 bytes read). The group can be released from error state and made readable again using prctl(PR_TASK_PERF_COUNTERS_ENABLE). When we have finer-grained enable/disable controls on counters we'll be able to reset the error state on individual groups. An exclusive group is one that the user wants to be the only group using the CPU performance monitor hardware whenever it is on. The counter group scheduler will not schedule an exclusive group if there are already other groups on the CPU and will not schedule other groups onto the CPU if there is an exclusive group scheduled (that statement does not apply to groups containing only software counters, which can always go on and which do not prevent an exclusive group from going on). With an exclusive group, we will be able to let users program PMU registers at a low level without the concern that those settings will perturb other measurements. Along the way this reorganizes things a little: - is_software_counter() is moved to perf_counter.h. - cpuctx->active_oncpu now records the number of hardware counters on the CPU, i.e. it now excludes software counters. Nothing was reading cpuctx->active_oncpu before, so this change is harmless. - A new cpuctx->exclusive field records whether we currently have an exclusive group on the CPU. - counter_sched_out moves higher up in perf_counter.c and gets called from __perf_counter_remove_from_context and __perf_counter_exit_task, where we used to have essentially the same code. - __perf_counter_sched_in now goes through the counter list twice, doing the pinned counters in the first loop and the non-pinned counters in the second loop, in order to give the pinned counters the best chance to be scheduled in. Note that only a group leader can be exclusive or pinned, and that attribute applies to the whole group. This avoids some awkwardness in some corner cases (e.g. where a group leader is closed and the other group members get added to the context list). If we want to relax that restriction later, we can, and it is easier to relax a restriction than to apply a new one. This doesn't yet handle the case where a pinned counter is inherited and goes into error state in the child - the error state is not propagated up to the parent when the child exits, and arguably it should.

perf: Decouple unthrottling and rotating Currently the adjusments made as part of perf_event_task_tick() use the percpu rotation lists to iterate over any active PMU contexts, but these are not used by the context rotation code, having been replaced by separate (per-context) hrtimer callbacks. However, some manipulation of the rotation lists (i.e. removal of contexts) has remained in perf_rotate_context(). This leads to the following issues: * Contexts are not always removed from the rotation lists. Removal of PMUs which have been placed in rotation lists, but have not been removed by a hrtimer callback can result in corruption of the rotation lists (when memory backing the context is freed). This has been observed to result in hangs when PMU drivers built as modules are inserted and removed around the creation of events for said PMUs. * Contexts which do not require rotation may be removed from the rotation lists as a result of a hrtimer, and will not be considered by the unthrottling code in perf_event_task_tick. This patch fixes the issue by updating the rotation ist when events are scheduled in/out, ensuring that each rotation list stays in sync with the HW state. As each event holds a refcount on the module of its PMU, this ensures that when a PMU module is unloaded none of its CPU contexts can be in a rotation list. By maintaining a list of perf_event_contexts rather than perf_event_cpu_contexts, we don't need separate paths to handle the cpu and task contexts, which also makes the code a little simpler. As the rotation_list variables are not used for rotation, these are renamed to active_ctx_list, which better matches their current function. perf_pmu_rotate_{start,stop} are renamed to perf_pmu_ctx_{activate,deactivate}.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant.

perf_counter: Add support for pinned and exclusive counter groups Impact: New perf_counter features A pinned counter group is one that the user wants to have on the CPU whenever possible, i.e. whenever the associated task is running, for a per-task group, or always for a per-cpu group. If the system cannot satisfy that, it puts the group into an error state where it is not scheduled any more and reads from it return EOF (i.e. 0 bytes read). The group can be released from error state and made readable again using prctl(PR_TASK_PERF_COUNTERS_ENABLE). When we have finer-grained enable/disable controls on counters we'll be able to reset the error state on individual groups. An exclusive group is one that the user wants to be the only group using the CPU performance monitor hardware whenever it is on. The counter group scheduler will not schedule an exclusive group if there are already other groups on the CPU and will not schedule other groups onto the CPU if there is an exclusive group scheduled (that statement does not apply to groups containing only software counters, which can always go on and which do not prevent an exclusive group from going on). With an exclusive group, we will be able to let users program PMU registers at a low level without the concern that those settings will perturb other measurements. Along the way this reorganizes things a little: - is_software_counter() is moved to perf_counter.h. - cpuctx->active_oncpu now records the number of hardware counters on the CPU, i.e. it now excludes software counters. Nothing was reading cpuctx->active_oncpu before, so this change is harmless. - A new cpuctx->exclusive field records whether we currently have an exclusive group on the CPU. - counter_sched_out moves higher up in perf_counter.c and gets called from __perf_counter_remove_from_context and __perf_counter_exit_task, where we used to have essentially the same code. - __perf_counter_sched_in now goes through the counter list twice, doing the pinned counters in the first loop and the non-pinned counters in the second loop, in order to give the pinned counters the best chance to be scheduled in. Note that only a group leader can be exclusive or pinned, and that attribute applies to the whole group. This avoids some awkwardness in some corner cases (e.g. where a group leader is closed and the other group members get added to the context list). If we want to relax that restriction later, we can, and it is easier to relax a restriction than to apply a new one. This doesn't yet handle the case where a pinned counter is inherited and goes into error state in the child - the error state is not propagated up to the parent when the child exits, and arguably it should.

perf_events: Fix for transaction recovery in group_sched_in() This new version (see commit 8e5fc1a) is much simpler and ensures that in case of error in group_sched_in() during event_sched_in(), the events up to the failed event go through regular event_sched_out(). But the failed event and the remaining events in the group have their timings adjusted as if they had also gone through event_sched_in() and event_sched_out(). This ensures timing uniformity across all events in a group. This also takes care of the tstamp_stopped problem in case the group could never be scheduled. The tstamp_stopped is updated as if the event had actually run. With this patch, the following now reports correct time_enabled, in case the NMI watchdog is active: $ task -e unhalted_core_cycles,instructions_retired,baclears,baclears noploop 1 noploop for 1 seconds 0 unhalted_core_cycles (100.00% scaling, ena=997,552,872, run=0) 0 instructions_retired (100.00% scaling, ena=997,552,872, run=0) 0 baclears (100.00% scaling, ena=997,552,872, run=0) 0 baclears (100.00% scaling, ena=997,552,872, run=0) And the older test case also works: $ task -einstructions_retired,baclears,baclears -e unhalted_core_cycles,baclears,baclears sleep 5 1680885 instructions_retired (69.39% scaling, ena=950756, run=291006) 10735 baclears (69.39% scaling, ena=950756, run=291006) 10735 baclears (69.39% scaling, ena=950756, run=291006) 0 unhalted_core_cycles (100.00% scaling, ena=817932, run=0) 0 baclears (100.00% scaling, ena=817932, run=0) 0 baclears (100.00% scaling, ena=817932, run=0) Signed-off-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> LKML-Reference: <4cbeeebc.8ee7d80a.5a28.0d5f@mx.google.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

perf: Fix mux_interval hrtimer wreckage Thomas stumbled over the hrtimer_forward_now() in perf_event_mux_interval_ms_store() and noticed its broken-ness. 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.

perf_events: Fix event scheduling issues introduced by transactional API The transactional API patch between the generic and model-specific code introduced several important bugs with event scheduling, at least on X86. If you had pinned events, e.g., watchdog, and were over-committing the PMU, you would get bogus counts. The bug was showing up on Intel CPU because events would move around more often that on AMD. But the problem also existed on AMD, though harder to expose. The issues were: - group_sched_in() was missing a cancel_txn() in the error path - cpuc->n_added was not properly maintained, leading to missing actions in hw_perf_enable(), i.e., n_running being 0. You cannot update n_added until you know the transaction has succeeded. In case of failed transaction n_added was not adjusted back. - in case of failed transactions, event_sched_out() was called and eventually invoked x86_disable_event() to touch the HW reg. But with transactions, on X86, event_sched_in() does not touch HW registers, it simply collects events into a list. Thus, you could end up calling x86_disable_event() on a counter which did not correspond to the current event when idx != -1. The patch modifies the generic and X86 code to avoid all those problems. First, we keep track of the number of events added last. In case the transaction fails, we substract them from n_added. This approach is necessary (as opposed to delaying updates to n_added) because not all event updates use the transaction API, e.g., single events. Second, we encapsulate the event_sched_in() and event_sched_out() in group_sched_in() inside the transaction. That makes the operations symmetrical and you can also detect that you are inside a transaction and skip the HW reg access by checking cpuc->group_flag. With this patch, you can now overcommit the PMU even with pinned system-wide events present and still get valid counts.

perf_events: Fix event scheduling issues introduced by transactional API The transactional API patch between the generic and model-specific code introduced several important bugs with event scheduling, at least on X86. If you had pinned events, e.g., watchdog, and were over-committing the PMU, you would get bogus counts. The bug was showing up on Intel CPU because events would move around more often that on AMD. But the problem also existed on AMD, though harder to expose. The issues were: - group_sched_in() was missing a cancel_txn() in the error path - cpuc->n_added was not properly maintained, leading to missing actions in hw_perf_enable(), i.e., n_running being 0. You cannot update n_added until you know the transaction has succeeded. In case of failed transaction n_added was not adjusted back. - in case of failed transactions, event_sched_out() was called and eventually invoked x86_disable_event() to touch the HW reg. But with transactions, on X86, event_sched_in() does not touch HW registers, it simply collects events into a list. Thus, you could end up calling x86_disable_event() on a counter which did not correspond to the current event when idx != -1. The patch modifies the generic and X86 code to avoid all those problems. First, we keep track of the number of events added last. In case the transaction fails, we substract them from n_added. This approach is necessary (as opposed to delaying updates to n_added) because not all event updates use the transaction API, e.g., single events. Second, we encapsulate the event_sched_in() and event_sched_out() in group_sched_in() inside the transaction. That makes the operations symmetrical and you can also detect that you are inside a transaction and skip the HW reg access by checking cpuc->group_flag. With this patch, you can now overcommit the PMU even with pinned system-wide events present and still get valid counts.

perf: Fix mux_interval hrtimer wreckage Thomas stumbled over the hrtimer_forward_now() in perf_event_mux_interval_ms_store() and noticed its broken-ness. 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.

perf: Use hrtimers for event multiplexing The current scheme of using the timer tick was fine for per-thread events. However, it was causing bias issues in system-wide mode (including for uncore PMUs). Event groups would not get their fair share of runtime on the PMU. With tickless kernels, if a core is idle there is no timer tick, and thus no event rotation (multiplexing). However, there are events (especially uncore events) which do count even though cores are asleep. This patch changes the timer source for multiplexing. It introduces a per-PMU per-cpu hrtimer. The advantage is that even when a core goes idle, it will come back to service the hrtimer, thus multiplexing on system-wide events works much better. The per-PMU implementation (suggested by PeterZ) enables adjusting the multiplexing interval per PMU. The preferred interval is stashed into the struct pmu. If not set, it will be forced to the default interval value. In order to minimize the impact of the hrtimer, it is turned on and off on demand. When the PMU on a CPU is overcommited, the hrtimer is activated. It is stopped when the PMU is not overcommitted. In order for this to work properly, we had to change the order of initialization in start_kernel() such that hrtimer_init() is run before perf_event_init(). The default interval in milliseconds is set to a timer tick just like with the old code. We will provide a sysctl to tune this in another patch.

perf_counter: Add support for pinned and exclusive counter groups Impact: New perf_counter features A pinned counter group is one that the user wants to have on the CPU whenever possible, i.e. whenever the associated task is running, for a per-task group, or always for a per-cpu group. If the system cannot satisfy that, it puts the group into an error state where it is not scheduled any more and reads from it return EOF (i.e. 0 bytes read). The group can be released from error state and made readable again using prctl(PR_TASK_PERF_COUNTERS_ENABLE). When we have finer-grained enable/disable controls on counters we'll be able to reset the error state on individual groups. An exclusive group is one that the user wants to be the only group using the CPU performance monitor hardware whenever it is on. The counter group scheduler will not schedule an exclusive group if there are already other groups on the CPU and will not schedule other groups onto the CPU if there is an exclusive group scheduled (that statement does not apply to groups containing only software counters, which can always go on and which do not prevent an exclusive group from going on). With an exclusive group, we will be able to let users program PMU registers at a low level without the concern that those settings will perturb other measurements. Along the way this reorganizes things a little: - is_software_counter() is moved to perf_counter.h. - cpuctx->active_oncpu now records the number of hardware counters on the CPU, i.e. it now excludes software counters. Nothing was reading cpuctx->active_oncpu before, so this change is harmless. - A new cpuctx->exclusive field records whether we currently have an exclusive group on the CPU. - counter_sched_out moves higher up in perf_counter.c and gets called from __perf_counter_remove_from_context and __perf_counter_exit_task, where we used to have essentially the same code. - __perf_counter_sched_in now goes through the counter list twice, doing the pinned counters in the first loop and the non-pinned counters in the second loop, in order to give the pinned counters the best chance to be scheduled in. Note that only a group leader can be exclusive or pinned, and that attribute applies to the whole group. This avoids some awkwardness in some corner cases (e.g. where a group leader is closed and the other group members get added to the context list). If we want to relax that restriction later, we can, and it is easier to relax a restriction than to apply a new one. This doesn't yet handle the case where a pinned counter is inherited and goes into error state in the child - the error state is not propagated up to the parent when the child exits, and arguably it should.

perf_counter: Add support for pinned and exclusive counter groups Impact: New perf_counter features A pinned counter group is one that the user wants to have on the CPU whenever possible, i.e. whenever the associated task is running, for a per-task group, or always for a per-cpu group. If the system cannot satisfy that, it puts the group into an error state where it is not scheduled any more and reads from it return EOF (i.e. 0 bytes read). The group can be released from error state and made readable again using prctl(PR_TASK_PERF_COUNTERS_ENABLE). When we have finer-grained enable/disable controls on counters we'll be able to reset the error state on individual groups. An exclusive group is one that the user wants to be the only group using the CPU performance monitor hardware whenever it is on. The counter group scheduler will not schedule an exclusive group if there are already other groups on the CPU and will not schedule other groups onto the CPU if there is an exclusive group scheduled (that statement does not apply to groups containing only software counters, which can always go on and which do not prevent an exclusive group from going on). With an exclusive group, we will be able to let users program PMU registers at a low level without the concern that those settings will perturb other measurements. Along the way this reorganizes things a little: - is_software_counter() is moved to perf_counter.h. - cpuctx->active_oncpu now records the number of hardware counters on the CPU, i.e. it now excludes software counters. Nothing was reading cpuctx->active_oncpu before, so this change is harmless. - A new cpuctx->exclusive field records whether we currently have an exclusive group on the CPU. - counter_sched_out moves higher up in perf_counter.c and gets called from __perf_counter_remove_from_context and __perf_counter_exit_task, where we used to have essentially the same code. - __perf_counter_sched_in now goes through the counter list twice, doing the pinned counters in the first loop and the non-pinned counters in the second loop, in order to give the pinned counters the best chance to be scheduled in. Note that only a group leader can be exclusive or pinned, and that attribute applies to the whole group. This avoids some awkwardness in some corner cases (e.g. where a group leader is closed and the other group members get added to the context list). If we want to relax that restriction later, we can, and it is easier to relax a restriction than to apply a new one. This doesn't yet handle the case where a pinned counter is inherited and goes into error state in the child - the error state is not propagated up to the parent when the child exits, and arguably it should.

perf/core: Generalize event->group_flags Currently, PERF_GROUP_SOFTWARE is used in the group_flags field of a group's leader to indicate that is_software_event(event) is true for all events in a group. This is the only usage of event->group_flags. This pattern of setting a group level flags when all events in the group share a property is useful for the flag introduced in the next patch and for future CQM/CMT flags. So this patches generalizes group_flags to work as an aggregate of event level flags. PERF_GROUP_SOFTWARE denotes an inmutable event's property. All other flags that I intend to add are also determinable at event initialization. To better convey the above, this patch renames event's group_flags to group_caps and PERF_GROUP_SOFTWARE to PERF_EV_CAP_SOFTWARE. Individual event flags are stored in the new event->event_caps. Since the cap flags do not change after event initialization, there is no need to serialize event_caps. This new field is used when events are added to a context, similarly to how PERF_GROUP_SOFTWARE and is_software_event() worked. Lastly, for consistency, updates is_software_event() to rely in event_cap instead of the context index.

perf_counter: Add support for pinned and exclusive counter groups Impact: New perf_counter features A pinned counter group is one that the user wants to have on the CPU whenever possible, i.e. whenever the associated task is running, for a per-task group, or always for a per-cpu group. If the system cannot satisfy that, it puts the group into an error state where it is not scheduled any more and reads from it return EOF (i.e. 0 bytes read). The group can be released from error state and made readable again using prctl(PR_TASK_PERF_COUNTERS_ENABLE). When we have finer-grained enable/disable controls on counters we'll be able to reset the error state on individual groups. An exclusive group is one that the user wants to be the only group using the CPU performance monitor hardware whenever it is on. The counter group scheduler will not schedule an exclusive group if there are already other groups on the CPU and will not schedule other groups onto the CPU if there is an exclusive group scheduled (that statement does not apply to groups containing only software counters, which can always go on and which do not prevent an exclusive group from going on). With an exclusive group, we will be able to let users program PMU registers at a low level without the concern that those settings will perturb other measurements. Along the way this reorganizes things a little: - is_software_counter() is moved to perf_counter.h. - cpuctx->active_oncpu now records the number of hardware counters on the CPU, i.e. it now excludes software counters. Nothing was reading cpuctx->active_oncpu before, so this change is harmless. - A new cpuctx->exclusive field records whether we currently have an exclusive group on the CPU. - counter_sched_out moves higher up in perf_counter.c and gets called from __perf_counter_remove_from_context and __perf_counter_exit_task, where we used to have essentially the same code. - __perf_counter_sched_in now goes through the counter list twice, doing the pinned counters in the first loop and the non-pinned counters in the second loop, in order to give the pinned counters the best chance to be scheduled in. Note that only a group leader can be exclusive or pinned, and that attribute applies to the whole group. This avoids some awkwardness in some corner cases (e.g. where a group leader is closed and the other group members get added to the context list). If we want to relax that restriction later, we can, and it is easier to relax a restriction than to apply a new one. This doesn't yet handle the case where a pinned counter is inherited and goes into error state in the child - the error state is not propagated up to the parent when the child exits, and arguably it should.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer.

perf_counter: record time running and time enabled for each counter Impact: new functionality Currently, if there are more counters enabled than can fit on the CPU, the kernel will multiplex the counters on to the hardware using round-robin scheduling. That isn't too bad for sampling counters, but for counting counters it means that the value read from a counter represents some unknown fraction of the true count of events that occurred while the counter was enabled. This remedies the situation by keeping track of how long each counter is enabled for, and how long it is actually on the cpu and counting events. These times are recorded in nanoseconds using the task clock for per-task counters and the cpu clock for per-cpu counters. These values can be supplied to userspace on a read from the counter. Userspace requests that they be supplied after the counter value by setting the PERF_FORMAT_TOTAL_TIME_ENABLED and/or PERF_FORMAT_TOTAL_TIME_RUNNING bits in the hw_event.read_format field when creating the counter. (There is no way to change the read format after the counter is created, though it would be possible to add some way to do that.) Using this information it is possible for userspace to scale the count it reads from the counter to get an estimate of the true count: true_count_estimate = count * total_time_enabled / total_time_running This also lets userspace detect the situation where the counter never got to go on the cpu: total_time_running == 0. This functionality has been requested by the PAPI developers, and will be generally needed for interpreting the count values from counting counters correctly. In the implementation, this keeps 5 time values (in nanoseconds) for each counter: total_time_enabled and total_time_running are used when the counter is in state OFF or ERROR and for reporting back to userspace. When the counter is in state INACTIVE or ACTIVE, it is the tstamp_enabled, tstamp_running and tstamp_stopped values that are relevant, and total_time_enabled and total_time_running are determined from them. (tstamp_stopped is only used in INACTIVE state.) The reason for doing it like this is that it means that only counters being enabled or disabled at sched-in and sched-out time need to be updated. There are no new loops that iterate over all counters to update total_time_enabled or total_time_running. This also keeps separate child_total_time_running and child_total_time_enabled fields that get added in when reporting the totals to userspace. They are separate fields so that they can be atomic. We don't want to use atomics for total_time_running, total_time_enabled etc., because then we would have to use atomic sequences to update them, which are slower than regular arithmetic and memory accesses. It is possible to measure total_time_running by adding a task_clock counter to each group of counters, and total_time_enabled can be measured approximately with a top-level task_clock counter (though inaccuracies will creep in if you need to disable and enable groups since it is not possible in general to disable/enable the top-level task_clock counter simultaneously with another group). However, that adds extra overhead - I measured around 15% increase in the context switch latency reported by lat_ctx (from lmbench) when a task_clock counter was added to each of 2 groups, and around 25% increase when a task_clock counter was added to each of 4 groups. (In both cases a top-level task-clock counter was also added.) In contrast, the code added in this commit gives better information with no overhead that I could measure (in fact in some cases I measured lower times with this code, but the differences were all less than one standard deviation).

If we hit such a task with perf_install_in_context() we'll loop until either that task wakes up or the CPU comes back online, if the task waking depends on the event being installed, we're stuck. While looking into this issue, I also spotted another problem, if we hit a task with perf_install_in_context() that is in the middle of being migrated, that is we observe the old CPU before sending the IPI, but run the IPI (on the old CPU) while the task is already running on the new CPU, things also go sideways. Rework things to rely on task_curr() -- outside of rq->lock -- which is rather tricky. Imagine the following scenario where we're trying to install the first event into our task 't': CPU0 CPU1 CPU2 (current == t) t->perf_event_ctxp[] = ctx; smp_mb(); cpu = task_cpu(t); switch(t, n); migrate(t, 2); switch(p, t); ctx = t->perf_event_ctxp[]; // must not be NULL smp_function_call(cpu, ..); generic_exec_single() func(); spin_lock(ctx->lock); if (task_curr(t)) // false add_event_to_ctx(); spin_unlock(ctx->lock); perf_event_context_sched_in(); spin_lock(ctx->lock); // sees event So its CPU0's store of t->perf_event_ctxp[] that must not go 'missing'. Because if CPU2's load of that variable were to observe NULL, it would not try to schedule the ctx and we'd have a task running without its counter, which would be 'bad'. As long as we observe !NULL, we'll acquire ctx->lock. If we acquire it first and not see the event yet, then CPU0 must observe task_curr() and retry. If the install happens first, then we must see the event on sched-in and all is well. I think we can translate the first part (until the 'must not be NULL') of the scenario to a litmus test like: C C-peterz { } P0(int *x, int *y) { int r1; WRITE_ONCE(*x, 1); smp_mb(); r1 = READ_ONCE(*y); } P1(int *y, int *z) { WRITE_ONCE(*y, 1); smp_store_release(z, 1); } P2(int *x, int *z) { int r1; int r2; r1 = smp_load_acquire(z); smp_mb(); r2 = READ_ONCE(*x); } exists (0:r1=0 /\ 2:r1=1 /\ 2:r2=0) Where: x is perf_event_ctxp[], y is our tasks's CPU, and z is our task being placed on the rq of CPU2. The P0 smp_mb() is the one added by this patch, ordering the store to perf_event_ctxp[] from find_get_context() and the load of task_cpu() in task_function_call().

perf: Fix task context scheduling There is a very nasty problem wrt disabling the perf task scheduling hooks. Currently we {set,clear} ctx->is_active on every __perf_event_task_sched_{in,out}, _however_ this means that if we disable these calls we'll have task contexts with ->is_active set that are not active and 'active' task contexts without ->is_active set. This can result in event_function_call() looping on the ctx->is_active condition basically indefinitely. Resolve this by changing things such that contexts without events do not set ->is_active like we used to. From this invariant it trivially follows that if there are no (task) events, every task ctx is inactive and disabling the context switch hooks is harmless. This leaves two places that need attention (and already had accumulated weird and wonderful hacks to work around, without recognising this actual problem). Namely: - perf_install_in_context() will need to deal with installing events in an inactive context, meaning it cannot rely on ctx-is_active for its IPIs. - perf_remove_from_context() will have to mark a context as inactive when it removes the last event.

perf/core: Fix sys_perf_event_open() vs. hotplug There is problem with installing an event in a task that is 'stuck' on an offline CPU. Blocked tasks are not dis-assosciated from offlined CPUs, after all, a blocked task doesn't run and doesn't require a CPU etc.. Only on wakeup do we ammend the situation and place the task on a available CPU. If we hit such a task with perf_install_in_context() we'll loop until either that task wakes up or the CPU comes back online, if the task waking depends on the event being installed, we're stuck. While looking into this issue, I also spotted another problem, if we hit a task with perf_install_in_context() that is in the middle of being migrated, that is we observe the old CPU before sending the IPI, but run the IPI (on the old CPU) while the task is already running on the new CPU, things also go sideways. Rework things to rely on task_curr() -- outside of rq->lock -- which is rather tricky. Imagine the following scenario where we're trying to install the first event into our task 't': CPU0 CPU1 CPU2 (current == t) t->perf_event_ctxp[] = ctx; smp_mb(); cpu = task_cpu(t); switch(t, n); migrate(t, 2); switch(p, t); ctx = t->perf_event_ctxp[]; // must not be NULL smp_function_call(cpu, ..); generic_exec_single() func(); spin_lock(ctx->lock); if (task_curr(t)) // false add_event_to_ctx(); spin_unlock(ctx->lock); perf_event_context_sched_in(); spin_lock(ctx->lock); // sees event So its CPU0's store of t->perf_event_ctxp[] that must not go 'missing'. Because if CPU2's load of that variable were to observe NULL, it would not try to schedule the ctx and we'd have a task running without its counter, which would be 'bad'. As long as we observe !NULL, we'll acquire ctx->lock. If we acquire it first and not see the event yet, then CPU0 must observe task_curr() and retry. If the install happens first, then we must see the event on sched-in and all is well. I think we can translate the first part (until the 'must not be NULL') of the scenario to a litmus test like: C C-peterz { } P0(int *x, int *y) { int r1; WRITE_ONCE(*x, 1); smp_mb(); r1 = READ_ONCE(*y); } P1(int *y, int *z) { WRITE_ONCE(*y, 1); smp_store_release(z, 1); } P2(int *x, int *z) { int r1; int r2; r1 = smp_load_acquire(z); smp_mb(); r2 = READ_ONCE(*x); } exists (0:r1=0 /\ 2:r1=1 /\ 2:r2=0) Where: x is perf_event_ctxp[], y is our tasks's CPU, and z is our task being placed on the rq of CPU2.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

perf: Fix task context scheduling There is a very nasty problem wrt disabling the perf task scheduling hooks. Currently we {set,clear} ctx->is_active on every __perf_event_task_sched_{in,out}, _however_ this means that if we disable these calls we'll have task contexts with ->is_active set that are not active and 'active' task contexts without ->is_active set. This can result in event_function_call() looping on the ctx->is_active condition basically indefinitely. Resolve this by changing things such that contexts without events do not set ->is_active like we used to. From this invariant it trivially follows that if there are no (task) events, every task ctx is inactive and disabling the context switch hooks is harmless. This leaves two places that need attention (and already had accumulated weird and wonderful hacks to work around, without recognising this actual problem). Namely: - perf_install_in_context() will need to deal with installing events in an inactive context, meaning it cannot rely on ctx-is_active for its IPIs. - perf_remove_from_context() will have to mark a context as inactive when it removes the last event.

/*
perf/core: Fix sys_perf_event_open() vs. hotplug There is problem with installing an event in a task that is 'stuck' on an offline CPU. Blocked tasks are not dis-assosciated from offlined CPUs, after all, a blocked task doesn't run and doesn't require a CPU etc.. Only on wakeup do we ammend the situation and place the task on a available CPU. If we hit such a task with perf_install_in_context() we'll loop until either that task wakes up or the CPU comes back online, if the task waking depends on the event being installed, we're stuck. While looking into this issue, I also spotted another problem, if we hit a task with perf_install_in_context() that is in the middle of being migrated, that is we observe the old CPU before sending the IPI, but run the IPI (on the old CPU) while the task is already running on the new CPU, things also go sideways. Rework things to rely on task_curr() -- outside of rq->lock -- which is rather tricky.

perf: Fix task context scheduling There is a very nasty problem wrt disabling the perf task scheduling hooks. Currently we {set,clear} ctx->is_active on every __perf_event_task_sched_{in,out}, _however_ this means that if we disable these calls we'll have task contexts with ->is_active set that are not active and 'active' task contexts without ->is_active set. This can result in event_function_call() looping on the ctx->is_active condition basically indefinitely. Resolve this by changing things such that contexts without events do not set ->is_active like we used to. From this invariant it trivially follows that if there are no (task) events, every task ctx is inactive and disabling the context switch hooks is harmless. This leaves two places that need attention (and already had accumulated weird and wonderful hacks to work around, without recognising this actual problem). Namely: - perf_install_in_context() will need to deal with installing events in an inactive context, meaning it cannot rely on ctx-is_active for its IPIs. - perf_remove_from_context() will have to mark a context as inactive when it removes the last event.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant.

perf_counter: Add counter enable/disable ioctls Impact: New perf_counter features This primarily adds a way for perf_counter users to enable and disable counters and groups. Enabling or disabling a counter or group also enables or disables all of the child counters that have been cloned from it to monitor children of the task monitored by the top-level counter. The userspace interface to enable/disable counters is via ioctl on the counter file descriptor. Along the way this extends the code that handles child counters to handle child counter groups properly. A group with multiple counters will be cloned to child tasks if and only if the group leader has the hw_event.inherit bit set - if it is set the whole group is cloned as a group in the child task. In order to be able to enable or disable all child counters of a given top-level counter, we need a way to find them all. Hence I have added a child_list field to struct perf_counter, which is the head of the list of children for a top-level counter, or the link in that list for a child counter. That list is protected by the perf_counter.mutex field. This also adds a mutex to the perf_counter_context struct. Previously the list of counters was protected just by the lock field in the context, which meant that perf_counter_init_task had to take that lock and then take whatever lock/mutex protects the top-level counter's child_list. But the counter enable/disable functions need to take that lock in order to traverse the list, then for each counter take the lock in that counter's context in order to change the counter's state safely, which will lead to a deadlock. To solve this, we now have both a mutex and a spinlock in the context, and taking either is sufficient to ensure the list of counters can't change - you have to take both before changing the list. Now perf_counter_init_task takes the mutex instead of the lock (which incidentally means that inherit_counter can use GFP_KERNEL instead of GFP_ATOMIC) and thus avoids the possible deadlock. Similarly the new enable/disable functions can take the mutex while traversing the list of child counters without incurring a possible deadlock when the counter manipulation code locks the context for a child counter. We also had an misfeature that the first counter added to a context would possibly not go on until the next sched-in, because we were using ctx->nr_active to detect if the context was running on a CPU. But nr_active is the number of active counters, and if that was zero (because the context didn't have any counters yet) it would look like the context wasn't running on a cpu and so the retry code in __perf_install_in_context wouldn't retry. So this adds an 'is_active' field that is set when the context is on a CPU, even if it has no counters. The is_active field is only used for task contexts, not for per-cpu contexts. If we enable a subsidiary counter in a group that is active on a CPU, and the arch code can't enable the counter, then we have to pull the whole group off the CPU. We do this with group_sched_out, which gets moved up in the file so it comes before all its callers. This also adds similar logic to __perf_install_in_context so that the "all on, or none" invariant of groups is preserved when adding a new counter to a group.

This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

perf_counter: Add counter enable/disable ioctls Impact: New perf_counter features This primarily adds a way for perf_counter users to enable and disable counters and groups. Enabling or disabling a counter or group also enables or disables all of the child counters that have been cloned from it to monitor children of the task monitored by the top-level counter. The userspace interface to enable/disable counters is via ioctl on the counter file descriptor. Along the way this extends the code that handles child counters to handle child counter groups properly. A group with multiple counters will be cloned to child tasks if and only if the group leader has the hw_event.inherit bit set - if it is set the whole group is cloned as a group in the child task. In order to be able to enable or disable all child counters of a given top-level counter, we need a way to find them all. Hence I have added a child_list field to struct perf_counter, which is the head of the list of children for a top-level counter, or the link in that list for a child counter. That list is protected by the perf_counter.mutex field. This also adds a mutex to the perf_counter_context struct. Previously the list of counters was protected just by the lock field in the context, which meant that perf_counter_init_task had to take that lock and then take whatever lock/mutex protects the top-level counter's child_list. But the counter enable/disable functions need to take that lock in order to traverse the list, then for each counter take the lock in that counter's context in order to change the counter's state safely, which will lead to a deadlock. To solve this, we now have both a mutex and a spinlock in the context, and taking either is sufficient to ensure the list of counters can't change - you have to take both before changing the list. Now perf_counter_init_task takes the mutex instead of the lock (which incidentally means that inherit_counter can use GFP_KERNEL instead of GFP_ATOMIC) and thus avoids the possible deadlock. Similarly the new enable/disable functions can take the mutex while traversing the list of child counters without incurring a possible deadlock when the counter manipulation code locks the context for a child counter. We also had an misfeature that the first counter added to a context would possibly not go on until the next sched-in, because we were using ctx->nr_active to detect if the context was running on a CPU. But nr_active is the number of active counters, and if that was zero (because the context didn't have any counters yet) it would look like the context wasn't running on a cpu and so the retry code in __perf_install_in_context wouldn't retry. So this adds an 'is_active' field that is set when the context is on a CPU, even if it has no counters. The is_active field is only used for task contexts, not for per-cpu contexts. If we enable a subsidiary counter in a group that is active on a CPU, and the arch code can't enable the counter, then we have to pull the whole group off the CPU. We do this with group_sched_out, which gets moved up in the file so it comes before all its callers. This also adds similar logic to __perf_install_in_context so that the "all on, or none" invariant of groups is preserved when adding a new counter to a group.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names.

* Enable a event.
perf_counter: Fix race in attaching counters to tasks and exiting Commit 564c2b21 ("perf_counter: Optimize context switch between identical inherited contexts") introduced a race where it is possible that a counter being attached to a task could get attached to the wrong task, if the task is one that has inherited its context from another task via fork. This happens because the optimized context switch could switch the context to another task after find_get_context has read task->perf_counter_ctxp. In fact, it's possible that the context could then get freed, if the other task then exits. This fixes the problem by protecting both the context switch and the critical code in find_get_context with spinlocks. The context switch locks the cxt->lock of both the outgoing and incoming contexts before swapping them. That means that once code such as find_get_context has obtained the spinlock for the context associated with a task, the context can't get swapped to another task. However, the context may have been swapped in the interval between reading task->perf_counter_ctxp and getting the lock, so it is necessary to check and retry. To make sure that none of the contexts being looked at in find_get_context can get freed, this changes the context freeing code to use RCU. Thus an rcu_read_lock() is sufficient to ensure that no contexts can get freed. This part of the patch is lifted from a patch posted by Peter Zijlstra. This also adds a check to make sure that we can't add a counter to a task that is exiting. There is also a race between perf_counter_exit_task and find_get_context; this solves the race by moving the get_ctx that was in perf_counter_alloc into the locked region in find_get_context, so that once find_get_context has got the context for a task, it won't get freed even if the task calls perf_counter_exit_task. It doesn't matter if new top-level (non-inherited) counters get attached to the context after perf_counter_exit_task has detached the context from the task. They will just stay there and never get scheduled in until the counters' fds get closed, and then perf_release will remove them from the context and eventually free the context. With this, we are now doing the unclone in find_get_context rather than when a counter was added to or removed from a context (actually, we were missing the unclone_ctx() call when adding a counter to a context). We don't need to unclone when removing a counter from a context because we have no way to remove a counter from a cloned context. This also takes out the smp_wmb() in find_get_context, which Peter Zijlstra pointed out was unnecessary because the cmpxchg implies a full barrier anyway.

perf_counter: Add counter enable/disable ioctls Impact: New perf_counter features This primarily adds a way for perf_counter users to enable and disable counters and groups. Enabling or disabling a counter or group also enables or disables all of the child counters that have been cloned from it to monitor children of the task monitored by the top-level counter. The userspace interface to enable/disable counters is via ioctl on the counter file descriptor. Along the way this extends the code that handles child counters to handle child counter groups properly. A group with multiple counters will be cloned to child tasks if and only if the group leader has the hw_event.inherit bit set - if it is set the whole group is cloned as a group in the child task. In order to be able to enable or disable all child counters of a given top-level counter, we need a way to find them all. Hence I have added a child_list field to struct perf_counter, which is the head of the list of children for a top-level counter, or the link in that list for a child counter. That list is protected by the perf_counter.mutex field. This also adds a mutex to the perf_counter_context struct. Previously the list of counters was protected just by the lock field in the context, which meant that perf_counter_init_task had to take that lock and then take whatever lock/mutex protects the top-level counter's child_list. But the counter enable/disable functions need to take that lock in order to traverse the list, then for each counter take the lock in that counter's context in order to change the counter's state safely, which will lead to a deadlock. To solve this, we now have both a mutex and a spinlock in the context, and taking either is sufficient to ensure the list of counters can't change - you have to take both before changing the list. Now perf_counter_init_task takes the mutex instead of the lock (which incidentally means that inherit_counter can use GFP_KERNEL instead of GFP_ATOMIC) and thus avoids the possible deadlock. Similarly the new enable/disable functions can take the mutex while traversing the list of child counters without incurring a possible deadlock when the counter manipulation code locks the context for a child counter. We also had an misfeature that the first counter added to a context would possibly not go on until the next sched-in, because we were using ctx->nr_active to detect if the context was running on a CPU. But nr_active is the number of active counters, and if that was zero (because the context didn't have any counters yet) it would look like the context wasn't running on a cpu and so the retry code in __perf_install_in_context wouldn't retry. So this adds an 'is_active' field that is set when the context is on a CPU, even if it has no counters. The is_active field is only used for task contexts, not for per-cpu contexts. If we enable a subsidiary counter in a group that is active on a CPU, and the arch code can't enable the counter, then we have to pull the whole group off the CPU. We do this with group_sched_out, which gets moved up in the file so it comes before all its callers. This also adds similar logic to __perf_install_in_context so that the "all on, or none" invariant of groups is preserved when adding a new counter to a group.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

perf_counter: Add counter enable/disable ioctls Impact: New perf_counter features This primarily adds a way for perf_counter users to enable and disable counters and groups. Enabling or disabling a counter or group also enables or disables all of the child counters that have been cloned from it to monitor children of the task monitored by the top-level counter. The userspace interface to enable/disable counters is via ioctl on the counter file descriptor. Along the way this extends the code that handles child counters to handle child counter groups properly. A group with multiple counters will be cloned to child tasks if and only if the group leader has the hw_event.inherit bit set - if it is set the whole group is cloned as a group in the child task. In order to be able to enable or disable all child counters of a given top-level counter, we need a way to find them all. Hence I have added a child_list field to struct perf_counter, which is the head of the list of children for a top-level counter, or the link in that list for a child counter. That list is protected by the perf_counter.mutex field. This also adds a mutex to the perf_counter_context struct. Previously the list of counters was protected just by the lock field in the context, which meant that perf_counter_init_task had to take that lock and then take whatever lock/mutex protects the top-level counter's child_list. But the counter enable/disable functions need to take that lock in order to traverse the list, then for each counter take the lock in that counter's context in order to change the counter's state safely, which will lead to a deadlock. To solve this, we now have both a mutex and a spinlock in the context, and taking either is sufficient to ensure the list of counters can't change - you have to take both before changing the list. Now perf_counter_init_task takes the mutex instead of the lock (which incidentally means that inherit_counter can use GFP_KERNEL instead of GFP_ATOMIC) and thus avoids the possible deadlock. Similarly the new enable/disable functions can take the mutex while traversing the list of child counters without incurring a possible deadlock when the counter manipulation code locks the context for a child counter. We also had an misfeature that the first counter added to a context would possibly not go on until the next sched-in, because we were using ctx->nr_active to detect if the context was running on a CPU. But nr_active is the number of active counters, and if that was zero (because the context didn't have any counters yet) it would look like the context wasn't running on a cpu and so the retry code in __perf_install_in_context wouldn't retry. So this adds an 'is_active' field that is set when the context is on a CPU, even if it has no counters. The is_active field is only used for task contexts, not for per-cpu contexts. If we enable a subsidiary counter in a group that is active on a CPU, and the arch code can't enable the counter, then we have to pull the whole group off the CPU. We do this with group_sched_out, which gets moved up in the file so it comes before all its callers. This also adds similar logic to __perf_install_in_context so that the "all on, or none" invariant of groups is preserved when adding a new counter to a group.

perf/core: Introduce address range filtering Many instruction tracing PMUs out there support address range-based filtering, which would, for example, generate trace data only for a given range of instruction addresses, which is useful for tracing individual functions, modules or libraries. Other PMUs may also utilize this functionality to allow filtering to or filtering out code at certain address ranges. This patch introduces the interface for userspace to specify these filters and for the PMU drivers to apply these filters to hardware configuration. The user interface is an ASCII string that is passed via an ioctl() and specifies (in the form of an ASCII string) address ranges within certain object files or within kernel. There is no special treatment for kernel modules yet, but it might be a worthy pursuit. The PMU driver interface basically adds two extra callbacks to the PMU driver structure, one of which validates the filter configuration proposed by the user against what the hardware is actually capable of doing and the other one translates hardware-independent filter configuration into something that can be programmed into the hardware.

perf/core: Fix a race between mmap_close() and set_output() of AUX events In the mmap_close() path we need to stop all the AUX events that are writing data to the AUX area that we are unmapping, before we can safely free the pages. To determine if an event needs to be stopped, we're comparing its ->rb against the one that's getting unmapped. However, a SET_OUTPUT ioctl may turn up inside an AUX transaction and swizzle event::rb to some other ring buffer, but the transaction will keep writing data to the old ring buffer until the event gets scheduled out. At this point, mmap_close() will skip over such an event and will proceed to free the AUX area, while it's still being used by this event, which will set off a warning in the mmap_close() path and cause a memory corruption. To avoid this, always stop an AUX event before its ->rb is updated; this will release the (potentially) last reference on the AUX area of the buffer. If the event gets restarted, its new ring buffer will be used. If another SET_OUTPUT comes and switches it back to the old ring buffer that's getting unmapped, it's also fine: this ring buffer's aux_mmap_count will be zero and AUX transactions won't start any more.

Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant.

This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them.

This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

perf: Fix task context scheduling There is a very nasty problem wrt disabling the perf task scheduling hooks. Currently we {set,clear} ctx->is_active on every __perf_event_task_sched_{in,out}, _however_ this means that if we disable these calls we'll have task contexts with ->is_active set that are not active and 'active' task contexts without ->is_active set. This can result in event_function_call() looping on the ctx->is_active condition basically indefinitely. Resolve this by changing things such that contexts without events do not set ->is_active like we used to. From this invariant it trivially follows that if there are no (task) events, every task ctx is inactive and disabling the context switch hooks is harmless. This leaves two places that need attention (and already had accumulated weird and wonderful hacks to work around, without recognising this actual problem). Namely: - perf_install_in_context() will need to deal with installing events in an inactive context, meaning it cannot rely on ctx-is_active for its IPIs. - perf_remove_from_context() will have to mark a context as inactive when it removes the last event.

perf_event: Fix event group handling in __perf_event_sched_*() Paul Mackerras says: "Actually, looking at this more closely, it has to be a group leader anyway since it's at the top level of ctx->group_list.

As far as I can see the if () is superfluous in each case (a singleton event will be a group of 1 and will have its group_leader pointing to itself)."

perf_counter: Optimize context switch between identical inherited contexts When monitoring a process and its descendants with a set of inherited counters, we can often get the situation in a context switch where both the old (outgoing) and new (incoming) process have the same set of counters, and their values are ultimately going to be added together. In that situation it doesn't matter which set of counters are used to count the activity for the new process, so there is really no need to go through the process of reading the hardware counters and updating the old task's counters and then setting up the PMU for the new task. This optimizes the context switch in this situation. Instead of scheduling out the perf_counter_context for the old task and scheduling in the new context, we simply transfer the old context to the new task and keep using it without interruption. The new context gets transferred to the old task. This means that both tasks still have a valid perf_counter_context, so no special case is introduced when the old task gets scheduled in again, either on this CPU or another CPU. The equivalence of contexts is detected by keeping a pointer in each cloned context pointing to the context it was cloned from. To cope with the situation where a context is changed by adding or removing counters after it has been cloned, we also keep a generation number on each context which is incremented every time a context is changed. When a context is cloned we take a copy of the parent's generation number, and two cloned contexts are equivalent only if they have the same parent and the same generation number. In order that the parent context pointer remains valid (and is not reused), we increment the parent context's reference count for each context cloned from it. Since we don't have individual fds for the counters in a cloned context, the only thing that can make two clones of a given parent different after they have been cloned is enabling or disabling all counters with prctl. To account for this, we keep a count of the number of enabled counters in each context. Two contexts must have the same number of enabled counters to be considered equivalent. Here are some measurements of the context switch time as measured with the lat_ctx benchmark from lmbench, comparing the times obtained with and without this patch series: -----Unmodified----- With this patch series Counters: none 2 HW 4H+4S none 2 HW 4H+4S 2 processes: Average 3.44 6.45 11.24 3.12 3.39 3.60 St dev 0.04 0.04 0.13 0.05 0.17 0.19 8 processes: Average 6.45 8.79 14.00 5.57 6.23 7.57 St dev 1.27 1.04 0.88 1.42 1.46 1.42 32 processes: Average 5.56 8.43 13.78 5.28 5.55 7.15 St dev 0.41 0.47 0.53 0.54 0.57 0.81 The numbers are the mean and standard deviation of 20 runs of lat_ctx.

perf_counter: Optimize context switch between identical inherited contexts When monitoring a process and its descendants with a set of inherited counters, we can often get the situation in a context switch where both the old (outgoing) and new (incoming) process have the same set of counters, and their values are ultimately going to be added together. In that situation it doesn't matter which set of counters are used to count the activity for the new process, so there is really no need to go through the process of reading the hardware counters and updating the old task's counters and then setting up the PMU for the new task. This optimizes the context switch in this situation. Instead of scheduling out the perf_counter_context for the old task and scheduling in the new context, we simply transfer the old context to the new task and keep using it without interruption. The new context gets transferred to the old task. This means that both tasks still have a valid perf_counter_context, so no special case is introduced when the old task gets scheduled in again, either on this CPU or another CPU. The equivalence of contexts is detected by keeping a pointer in each cloned context pointing to the context it was cloned from. To cope with the situation where a context is changed by adding or removing counters after it has been cloned, we also keep a generation number on each context which is incremented every time a context is changed. When a context is cloned we take a copy of the parent's generation number, and two cloned contexts are equivalent only if they have the same parent and the same generation number.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names.

Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant.

perf_counter: Fix race in attaching counters to tasks and exiting Commit 564c2b21 ("perf_counter: Optimize context switch between identical inherited contexts") introduced a race where it is possible that a counter being attached to a task could get attached to the wrong task, if the task is one that has inherited its context from another task via fork. This happens because the optimized context switch could switch the context to another task after find_get_context has read task->perf_counter_ctxp. In fact, it's possible that the context could then get freed, if the other task then exits. This fixes the problem by protecting both the context switch and the critical code in find_get_context with spinlocks. The context switch locks the cxt->lock of both the outgoing and incoming contexts before swapping them. That means that once code such as find_get_context has obtained the spinlock for the context associated with a task, the context can't get swapped to another task. However, the context may have been swapped in the interval between reading task->perf_counter_ctxp and getting the lock, so it is necessary to check and retry. To make sure that none of the contexts being looked at in find_get_context can get freed, this changes the context freeing code to use RCU. Thus an rcu_read_lock() is sufficient to ensure that no contexts can get freed. This part of the patch is lifted from a patch posted by Peter Zijlstra. This also adds a check to make sure that we can't add a counter to a task that is exiting. There is also a race between perf_counter_exit_task and find_get_context; this solves the race by moving the get_ctx that was in perf_counter_alloc into the locked region in find_get_context, so that once find_get_context has got the context for a task, it won't get freed even if the task calls perf_counter_exit_task. It doesn't matter if new top-level (non-inherited) counters get attached to the context after perf_counter_exit_task has detached the context from the task. They will just stay there and never get scheduled in until the counters' fds get closed, and then perf_release will remove them from the context and eventually free the context. With this, we are now doing the unclone in find_get_context rather than when a counter was added to or removed from a context (actually, we were missing the unclone_ctx() call when adding a counter to a context). We don't need to unclone when removing a counter from a context because we have no way to remove a counter from a cloned context. This also takes out the smp_wmb() in find_get_context, which Peter Zijlstra pointed out was unnecessary because the cmpxchg implies a full barrier anyway.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

perf_counter: Optimize context switch between identical inherited contexts When monitoring a process and its descendants with a set of inherited counters, we can often get the situation in a context switch where both the old (outgoing) and new (incoming) process have the same set of counters, and their values are ultimately going to be added together. In that situation it doesn't matter which set of counters are used to count the activity for the new process, so there is really no need to go through the process of reading the hardware counters and updating the old task's counters and then setting up the PMU for the new task. This optimizes the context switch in this situation. Instead of scheduling out the perf_counter_context for the old task and scheduling in the new context, we simply transfer the old context to the new task and keep using it without interruption. The new context gets transferred to the old task. This means that both tasks still have a valid perf_counter_context, so no special case is introduced when the old task gets scheduled in again, either on this CPU or another CPU. The equivalence of contexts is detected by keeping a pointer in each cloned context pointing to the context it was cloned from. To cope with the situation where a context is changed by adding or removing counters after it has been cloned, we also keep a generation number on each context which is incremented every time a context is changed. When a context is cloned we take a copy of the parent's generation number, and two cloned contexts are equivalent only if they have the same parent and the same generation number. In order that the parent context pointer remains valid (and is not reused), we increment the parent context's reference count for each context cloned from it. Since we don't have individual fds for the counters in a cloned context, the only thing that can make two clones of a given parent different after they have been cloned is enabling or disabling all counters with prctl. To account for this, we keep a count of the number of enabled counters in each context. Two contexts must have the same number of enabled counters to be considered equivalent. Here are some measurements of the context switch time as measured with the lat_ctx benchmark from lmbench, comparing the times obtained with and without this patch series: -----Unmodified----- With this patch series Counters: none 2 HW 4H+4S none 2 HW 4H+4S 2 processes: Average 3.44 6.45 11.24 3.12 3.39 3.60 St dev 0.04 0.04 0.13 0.05 0.17 0.19 8 processes: Average 6.45 8.79 14.00 5.57 6.23 7.57 St dev 1.27 1.04 0.88 1.42 1.46 1.42 32 processes: Average 5.56 8.43 13.78 5.28 5.55 7.15 St dev 0.41 0.47 0.53 0.54 0.57 0.81 The numbers are the mean and standard deviation of 20 runs of lat_ctx. The "none" columns are lat_ctx run directly without any counters. The "2 HW" columns are with lat_ctx run under perfstat, counting cycles and instructions. The "4H+4S" columns are lat_ctx run under perfstat with 4 hardware counters and 4 software counters (cycles, instructions, cache references, cache misses, task clock, context switch, cpu migrations, and page faults).

Here are some measurements of the context switch time as measured with the lat_ctx benchmark from lmbench, comparing the times obtained with and without this patch series: -----Unmodified----- With this patch series Counters: none 2 HW 4H+4S none 2 HW 4H+4S 2 processes: Average 3.44 6.45 11.24 3.12 3.39 3.60 St dev 0.04 0.04 0.13 0.05 0.17 0.19 8 processes: Average 6.45 8.79 14.00 5.57 6.23 7.57 St dev 1.27 1.04 0.88 1.42 1.46 1.42 32 processes: Average 5.56 8.43 13.78 5.28 5.55 7.15 St dev 0.41 0.47 0.53 0.54 0.57 0.81 The numbers are the mean and standard deviation of 20 runs of lat_ctx. The "none" columns are lat_ctx run directly without any counters. The "2 HW" columns are with lat_ctx run under perfstat, counting cycles and instructions. The "4H+4S" columns are lat_ctx run under perfstat with 4 hardware counters and 4 software counters (cycles, instructions, cache references, cache misses, task clock, context switch, cpu migrations, and page faults).

perf_counter: Fix race in attaching counters to tasks and exiting Commit 564c2b21 ("perf_counter: Optimize context switch between identical inherited contexts") introduced a race where it is possible that a counter being attached to a task could get attached to the wrong task, if the task is one that has inherited its context from another task via fork. This happens because the optimized context switch could switch the context to another task after find_get_context has read task->perf_counter_ctxp. In fact, it's possible that the context could then get freed, if the other task then exits. This fixes the problem by protecting both the context switch and the critical code in find_get_context with spinlocks. The context switch locks the cxt->lock of both the outgoing and incoming contexts before swapping them. That means that once code such as find_get_context has obtained the spinlock for the context associated with a task, the context can't get swapped to another task. However, the context may have been swapped in the interval between reading task->perf_counter_ctxp and getting the lock, so it is necessary to check and retry. To make sure that none of the contexts being looked at in find_get_context can get freed, this changes the context freeing code to use RCU. Thus an rcu_read_lock() is sufficient to ensure that no contexts can get freed. This part of the patch is lifted from a patch posted by Peter Zijlstra. This also adds a check to make sure that we can't add a counter to a task that is exiting. There is also a race between perf_counter_exit_task and find_get_context; this solves the race by moving the get_ctx that was in perf_counter_alloc into the locked region in find_get_context, so that once find_get_context has got the context for a task, it won't get freed even if the task calls perf_counter_exit_task. It doesn't matter if new top-level (non-inherited) counters get attached to the context after perf_counter_exit_task has detached the context from the task. They will just stay there and never get scheduled in until the counters' fds get closed, and then perf_release will remove them from the context and eventually free the context. With this, we are now doing the unclone in find_get_context rather than when a counter was added to or removed from a context (actually, we were missing the unclone_ctx() call when adding a counter to a context). We don't need to unclone when removing a counter from a context because we have no way to remove a counter from a cloned context. This also takes out the smp_wmb() in find_get_context, which Peter Zijlstra pointed out was unnecessary because the cmpxchg implies a full barrier anyway.

perf: Add PERF_RECORD_SWITCH to indicate context switches 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.

Revert "sched, perf: Use a single callback into the scheduler" This reverts commit cb04ff9ac424 ("sched, perf: Use a single callback into the scheduler"). Before this change was introduced, the process switch worked like this (wrt. to perf event schedule): schedule (prev, next) - schedule out all perf events for prev - switch to next - schedule in all perf events for current (next) After the commit, the process switch looks like: schedule (prev, next) - schedule out all perf events for prev - schedule in all perf events for (next) - switch to next The problem is, that after we schedule perf events in, the pmu is enabled and we can receive events even before we make the switch to next - so "current" still being prev process (event SAMPLE data are filled based on the value of the "current" process). Thats exactly what we see for test__PERF_RECORD test. We receive SAMPLES with PID of the process that our tracee is scheduled from. Discussed with Peter Zijlstra: > Bah!, yeah I guess reverting is the right thing for now. Sad > though. > > So by having the two hooks we have a black-spot between them > where we receive no events at all, this black-spot covers the > hand-over of current and we thus don't receive the 'wrong' > events. > > I rather liked we could do away with both that black-spot and > clean up the code a little, but apparently people rely on it.

perf events: Fix slow and broken cgroup context switch code The current cgroup context switch code was incorrect leading to bogus counts. Furthermore, as soon as there was an active cgroup event on a CPU, the context switch cost on that CPU would increase by a significant amount as demonstrated by a simple ping/pong example: $ ./pong Both processes pinned to CPU1, running for 10s 10684.51 ctxsw/s Now start a cgroup perf stat: $ perf stat -e cycles,cycles -A -a -G test -C 1 -- sleep 100 $ ./pong Both processes pinned to CPU1, running for 10s 6674.61 ctxsw/s That's a 37% penalty. Note that pong is not even in the monitored cgroup. The results shown by perf stat are bogus: $ perf stat -e cycles,cycles -A -a -G test -C 1 -- sleep 100 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 100': CPU1 <not counted> cycles test CPU1 16,984,189,138 cycles # 0.000 GHz The second 'cycles' event should report a count @ CPU clock (here 2.4GHz) as it is counting across all cgroups. The patch below fixes the bogus accounting and bypasses any cgroup switches in case the outgoing and incoming tasks are in the same cgroup. With this patch the same test now yields: $ ./pong Both processes pinned to CPU1, running for 10s 10775.30 ctxsw/s Start perf stat with cgroup: $ perf stat -e cycles,cycles -A -a -G test -C 1 -- sleep 10 Run pong outside the cgroup: $ /pong Both processes pinned to CPU1, running for 10s 10687.80 ctxsw/s The penalty is now less than 2%. And the results for perf stat are correct: $ perf stat -e cycles,cycles -A -a -G test -C 1 -- sleep 10 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 10': CPU1 <not counted> cycles test # 0.000 GHz CPU1 23,933,981,448 cycles # 0.000 GHz Now perf stat reports the correct counts for for the non cgroup event. If we run pong inside the cgroup, then we also get the correct counts: $ perf stat -e cycles,cycles -A -a -G test -C 1 -- sleep 10 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 10': CPU1 22,297,726,205 cycles test # 0.000 GHz CPU1 23,933,981,448 cycles # 0.000 GHz 10.001457237 seconds time elapsed Signed-off-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20110825135803.GA4697@quad Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

perf_counter: Add support for pinned and exclusive counter groups Impact: New perf_counter features A pinned counter group is one that the user wants to have on the CPU whenever possible, i.e. whenever the associated task is running, for a per-task group, or always for a per-cpu group. If the system cannot satisfy that, it puts the group into an error state where it is not scheduled any more and reads from it return EOF (i.e. 0 bytes read). The group can be released from error state and made readable again using prctl(PR_TASK_PERF_COUNTERS_ENABLE). When we have finer-grained enable/disable controls on counters we'll be able to reset the error state on individual groups. An exclusive group is one that the user wants to be the only group using the CPU performance monitor hardware whenever it is on. The counter group scheduler will not schedule an exclusive group if there are already other groups on the CPU and will not schedule other groups onto the CPU if there is an exclusive group scheduled (that statement does not apply to groups containing only software counters, which can always go on and which do not prevent an exclusive group from going on). With an exclusive group, we will be able to let users program PMU registers at a low level without the concern that those settings will perturb other measurements. Along the way this reorganizes things a little: - is_software_counter() is moved to perf_counter.h. - cpuctx->active_oncpu now records the number of hardware counters on the CPU, i.e. it now excludes software counters. Nothing was reading cpuctx->active_oncpu before, so this change is harmless. - A new cpuctx->exclusive field records whether we currently have an exclusive group on the CPU. - counter_sched_out moves higher up in perf_counter.c and gets called from __perf_counter_remove_from_context and __perf_counter_exit_task, where we used to have essentially the same code. - __perf_counter_sched_in now goes through the counter list twice, doing the pinned counters in the first loop and the non-pinned counters in the second loop, in order to give the pinned counters the best chance to be scheduled in. Note that only a group leader can be exclusive or pinned, and that attribute applies to the whole group. This avoids some awkwardness in some corner cases (e.g. where a group leader is closed and the other group members get added to the context list). If we want to relax that restriction later, we can, and it is easier to relax a restriction than to apply a new one. This doesn't yet handle the case where a pinned counter is inherited and goes into error state in the child - the error state is not propagated up to the parent when the child exits, and arguably it should.

perf_counter: record time running and time enabled for each counter Impact: new functionality Currently, if there are more counters enabled than can fit on the CPU, the kernel will multiplex the counters on to the hardware using round-robin scheduling. That isn't too bad for sampling counters, but for counting counters it means that the value read from a counter represents some unknown fraction of the true count of events that occurred while the counter was enabled. This remedies the situation by keeping track of how long each counter is enabled for, and how long it is actually on the cpu and counting events. These times are recorded in nanoseconds using the task clock for per-task counters and the cpu clock for per-cpu counters. These values can be supplied to userspace on a read from the counter. Userspace requests that they be supplied after the counter value by setting the PERF_FORMAT_TOTAL_TIME_ENABLED and/or PERF_FORMAT_TOTAL_TIME_RUNNING bits in the hw_event.read_format field when creating the counter. (There is no way to change the read format after the counter is created, though it would be possible to add some way to do that.) Using this information it is possible for userspace to scale the count it reads from the counter to get an estimate of the true count: true_count_estimate = count * total_time_enabled / total_time_running This also lets userspace detect the situation where the counter never got to go on the cpu: total_time_running == 0. This functionality has been requested by the PAPI developers, and will be generally needed for interpreting the count values from counting counters correctly. In the implementation, this keeps 5 time values (in nanoseconds) for each counter: total_time_enabled and total_time_running are used when the counter is in state OFF or ERROR and for reporting back to userspace. When the counter is in state INACTIVE or ACTIVE, it is the tstamp_enabled, tstamp_running and tstamp_stopped values that are relevant, and total_time_enabled and total_time_running are determined from them. (tstamp_stopped is only used in INACTIVE state.) The reason for doing it like this is that it means that only counters being enabled or disabled at sched-in and sched-out time need to be updated. There are no new loops that iterate over all counters to update total_time_enabled or total_time_running. This also keeps separate child_total_time_running and child_total_time_enabled fields that get added in when reporting the totals to userspace. They are separate fields so that they can be atomic. We don't want to use atomics for total_time_running, total_time_enabled etc., because then we would have to use atomic sequences to update them, which are slower than regular arithmetic and memory accesses. It is possible to measure total_time_running by adding a task_clock counter to each group of counters, and total_time_enabled can be measured approximately with a top-level task_clock counter (though inaccuracies will creep in if you need to disable and enable groups since it is not possible in general to disable/enable the top-level task_clock counter simultaneously with another group). However, that adds extra overhead - I measured around 15% increase in the context switch latency reported by lat_ctx (from lmbench) when a task_clock counter was added to each of 2 groups, and around 25% increase when a task_clock counter was added to each of 4 groups. (In both cases a top-level task-clock counter was also added.) In contrast, the code added in this commit gives better information with no overhead that I could measure (in fact in some cases I measured lower times with this code, but the differences were all less than one standard deviation).

perf_counter: Add support for pinned and exclusive counter groups Impact: New perf_counter features A pinned counter group is one that the user wants to have on the CPU whenever possible, i.e. whenever the associated task is running, for a per-task group, or always for a per-cpu group. If the system cannot satisfy that, it puts the group into an error state where it is not scheduled any more and reads from it return EOF (i.e. 0 bytes read). The group can be released from error state and made readable again using prctl(PR_TASK_PERF_COUNTERS_ENABLE). When we have finer-grained enable/disable controls on counters we'll be able to reset the error state on individual groups. An exclusive group is one that the user wants to be the only group using the CPU performance monitor hardware whenever it is on. The counter group scheduler will not schedule an exclusive group if there are already other groups on the CPU and will not schedule other groups onto the CPU if there is an exclusive group scheduled (that statement does not apply to groups containing only software counters, which can always go on and which do not prevent an exclusive group from going on). With an exclusive group, we will be able to let users program PMU registers at a low level without the concern that those settings will perturb other measurements. Along the way this reorganizes things a little: - is_software_counter() is moved to perf_counter.h. - cpuctx->active_oncpu now records the number of hardware counters on the CPU, i.e. it now excludes software counters. Nothing was reading cpuctx->active_oncpu before, so this change is harmless. - A new cpuctx->exclusive field records whether we currently have an exclusive group on the CPU. - counter_sched_out moves higher up in perf_counter.c and gets called from __perf_counter_remove_from_context and __perf_counter_exit_task, where we used to have essentially the same code. - __perf_counter_sched_in now goes through the counter list twice, doing the pinned counters in the first loop and the non-pinned counters in the second loop, in order to give the pinned counters the best chance to be scheduled in. Note that only a group leader can be exclusive or pinned, and that attribute applies to the whole group. This avoids some awkwardness in some corner cases (e.g. where a group leader is closed and the other group members get added to the context list). If we want to relax that restriction later, we can, and it is easier to relax a restriction than to apply a new one. This doesn't yet handle the case where a pinned counter is inherited and goes into error state in the child - the error state is not propagated up to the parent when the child exits, and arguably it should.

* Listen to the 'cpu' scheduling filter constraint
perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.)

Before this change was introduced, the process switch worked like this (wrt. to perf event schedule): schedule (prev, next) - schedule out all perf events for prev - switch to next - schedule in all perf events for current (next) After the commit, the process switch looks like: schedule (prev, next) - schedule out all perf events for prev - schedule in all perf events for (next) - switch to next The problem is, that after we schedule perf events in, the pmu is enabled and we can receive events even before we make the switch to next - so "current" still being prev process (event SAMPLE data are filled based on the value of the "current" process). Thats exactly what we see for test__PERF_RECORD test. We receive SAMPLES with PID of the process that our tracee is scheduled from. Discussed with Peter Zijlstra: > Bah!, yeah I guess reverting is the right thing for now. Sad > though. > > So by having the two hooks we have a black-spot between them > where we receive no events at all, this black-spot covers the > hand-over of current and we thus don't receive the 'wrong' > events. > > I rather liked we could do away with both that black-spot and > clean up the code a little, but apparently people rely on it.

perf: Add PERF_RECORD_SWITCH to indicate context switches 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 broken interrupt rate throttling This patch fixes the sampling interrupt throttling mechanism. It was broken in v3.2. Events were not being unthrottled. The unthrottling mechanism required that events be checked at each timer tick. This patch solves this problem and also separates: - unthrottling - multiplexing - frequency-mode period adjustments Not all of them need to be executed at each timer tick. This third version of the patch is based on my original patch + PeterZ proposal (https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/7/87). At each timer tick, for each context: - if the current CPU has throttled events, we unthrottle events - if context has frequency-based events, we adjust sampling periods - if we have reached the jiffies interval, we multiplex (rotate) We decoupled rotation (multiplexing) from frequency-mode sampling period adjustments. They should not necessarily happen at the same rate. Multiplexing is subject to jiffies_interval (currently at 1 but could be higher once the tunable is exposed via sysfs). We have grouped frequency-mode adjustment and unthrottling into the same routine to minimize code duplication. When throttled while in frequency mode, we scan the events only once. We have fixed the threshold enforcement code in __perf_event_overflow(). There was a bug whereby it would allow more than the authorized rate because an increment of hwc->interrupts was not executed at the right place. The patch was tested with low sampling limit (2000) and fixed periods, frequency mode, overcommitted PMU. On a 2.1GHz AMD CPU: $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate 2000 We set a rate of 3000 samples/sec (2.1GHz/3000 = 700000): $ perf record -e cycles,cycles -c 700000 noploop 10 $ perf report -D | tail -21 Aggregated stats: TOTAL events: 80086 MMAP events: 88 COMM events: 2 EXIT events: 4 THROTTLE events: 19996 UNTHROTTLE events: 19996 SAMPLE events: 40000 cycles stats: TOTAL events: 40006 MMAP events: 5 COMM events: 1 EXIT events: 4 THROTTLE events: 9998 UNTHROTTLE events: 9998 SAMPLE events: 20000 cycles stats: TOTAL events: 39996 THROTTLE events: 9998 UNTHROTTLE events: 9998 SAMPLE events: 20000 For 10s, the cap is 2x2000x10 = 40000 samples.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

perf: Fix double start/stop in x86_pmu_start() The following patch fixes a bug introduced by the following commit: e050e3f0a71b ("perf: Fix broken interrupt rate throttling") The patch caused the following warning to pop up depending on the sampling frequency adjustments: ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: at arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perf_event.c:995 x86_pmu_start+0x79/0xd4() It was caused by the following call sequence: perf_adjust_freq_unthr_context.part() { stop() if (delta > 0) { perf_adjust_period() { if (period > 8*...) { stop() ... start() } } } start() } Which caused a double start and a double stop, thus triggering the assert in x86_pmu_start(). The patch fixes the problem by avoiding the double calls. We pass a new argument to perf_adjust_period() to indicate whether or not the event is already stopped. We can't just remove the start/stop from that function because it's called from __perf_event_overflow where the event needs to be reloaded via a stop/start back-toback call. The patch reintroduces the assertion in x86_pmu_start() which was removed by commit: 84f2b9b ("perf: Remove deprecated WARN_ON_ONCE()") In this second version, we've added calls to disable/enable PMU during unthrottling or frequency adjustment based on bug report of spurious NMI interrupts from Eric Dumazet.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

perf: Fix broken interrupt rate throttling This patch fixes the sampling interrupt throttling mechanism. It was broken in v3.2. Events were not being unthrottled. The unthrottling mechanism required that events be checked at each timer tick. This patch solves this problem and also separates: - unthrottling - multiplexing - frequency-mode period adjustments Not all of them need to be executed at each timer tick. This third version of the patch is based on my original patch + PeterZ proposal (https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/7/87). At each timer tick, for each context: - if the current CPU has throttled events, we unthrottle events - if context has frequency-based events, we adjust sampling periods - if we have reached the jiffies interval, we multiplex (rotate) We decoupled rotation (multiplexing) from frequency-mode sampling period adjustments. They should not necessarily happen at the same rate. Multiplexing is subject to jiffies_interval (currently at 1 but could be higher once the tunable is exposed via sysfs). We have grouped frequency-mode adjustment and unthrottling into the same routine to minimize code duplication. When throttled while in frequency mode, we scan the events only once. We have fixed the threshold enforcement code in __perf_event_overflow(). There was a bug whereby it would allow more than the authorized rate because an increment of hwc->interrupts was not executed at the right place. The patch was tested with low sampling limit (2000) and fixed periods, frequency mode, overcommitted PMU. On a 2.1GHz AMD CPU: $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate 2000 We set a rate of 3000 samples/sec (2.1GHz/3000 = 700000): $ perf record -e cycles,cycles -c 700000 noploop 10 $ perf report -D | tail -21 Aggregated stats: TOTAL events: 80086 MMAP events: 88 COMM events: 2 EXIT events: 4 THROTTLE events: 19996 UNTHROTTLE events: 19996 SAMPLE events: 40000 cycles stats: TOTAL events: 40006 MMAP events: 5 COMM events: 1 EXIT events: 4 THROTTLE events: 9998 UNTHROTTLE events: 9998 SAMPLE events: 20000 cycles stats: TOTAL events: 39996 THROTTLE events: 9998 UNTHROTTLE events: 9998 SAMPLE events: 20000 For 10s, the cap is 2x2000x10 = 40000 samples.

The patch fixes the problem by avoiding the double calls. We pass a new argument to perf_adjust_period() to indicate whether or not the event is already stopped. We can't just remove the start/stop from that function because it's called from __perf_event_overflow where the event needs to be reloaded via a stop/start back-toback call.

They should not necessarily happen at the same rate. Multiplexing is subject to jiffies_interval (currently at 1 but could be higher once the tunable is exposed via sysfs). We have grouped frequency-mode adjustment and unthrottling into the same routine to minimize code duplication. When throttled while in frequency mode, we scan the events only once. We have fixed the threshold enforcement code in __perf_event_overflow(). There was a bug whereby it would allow more than the authorized rate because an increment of hwc->interrupts was not executed at the right place. The patch was tested with low sampling limit (2000) and fixed periods, frequency mode, overcommitted PMU.

perf: Use hrtimers for event multiplexing The current scheme of using the timer tick was fine for per-thread events. However, it was causing bias issues in system-wide mode (including for uncore PMUs). Event groups would not get their fair share of runtime on the PMU. With tickless kernels, if a core is idle there is no timer tick, and thus no event rotation (multiplexing). However, there are events (especially uncore events) which do count even though cores are asleep. This patch changes the timer source for multiplexing. It introduces a per-PMU per-cpu hrtimer. The advantage is that even when a core goes idle, it will come back to service the hrtimer, thus multiplexing on system-wide events works much better. The per-PMU implementation (suggested by PeterZ) enables adjusting the multiplexing interval per PMU. The preferred interval is stashed into the struct pmu. If not set, it will be forced to the default interval value. In order to minimize the impact of the hrtimer, it is turned on and off on demand. When the PMU on a CPU is overcommited, the hrtimer is activated. It is stopped when the PMU is not overcommitted. In order for this to work properly, we had to change the order of initialization in start_kernel() such that hrtimer_init() is run before perf_event_init(). The default interval in milliseconds is set to a timer tick just like with the old code. We will provide a sysctl to tune this in another patch.

perf: Decouple unthrottling and rotating Currently the adjusments made as part of perf_event_task_tick() use the percpu rotation lists to iterate over any active PMU contexts, but these are not used by the context rotation code, having been replaced by separate (per-context) hrtimer callbacks. However, some manipulation of the rotation lists (i.e. removal of contexts) has remained in perf_rotate_context(). This leads to the following issues: * Contexts are not always removed from the rotation lists. Removal of PMUs which have been placed in rotation lists, but have not been removed by a hrtimer callback can result in corruption of the rotation lists (when memory backing the context is freed). This has been observed to result in hangs when PMU drivers built as modules are inserted and removed around the creation of events for said PMUs. * Contexts which do not require rotation may be removed from the rotation lists as a result of a hrtimer, and will not be considered by the unthrottling code in perf_event_task_tick. This patch fixes the issue by updating the rotation ist when events are scheduled in/out, ensuring that each rotation list stays in sync with the HW state. As each event holds a refcount on the module of its PMU, this ensures that when a PMU module is unloaded none of its CPU contexts can be in a rotation list. By maintaining a list of perf_event_contexts rather than perf_event_cpu_contexts, we don't need separate paths to handle the cpu and task contexts, which also makes the code a little simpler. As the rotation_list variables are not used for rotation, these are renamed to active_ctx_list, which better matches their current function. perf_pmu_rotate_{start,stop} are renamed to perf_pmu_ctx_{activate,deactivate}.

This has been observed to result in hangs when PMU drivers built as modules are inserted and removed around the creation of events for said PMUs. * Contexts which do not require rotation may be removed from the rotation lists as a result of a hrtimer, and will not be considered by the unthrottling code in perf_event_task_tick. This patch fixes the issue by updating the rotation ist when events are scheduled in/out, ensuring that each rotation list stays in sync with the HW state. As each event holds a refcount on the module of its PMU, this ensures that when a PMU module is unloaded none of its CPU contexts can be in a rotation list. By maintaining a list of perf_event_contexts rather than perf_event_cpu_contexts, we don't need separate paths to handle the cpu and task contexts, which also makes the code a little simpler. As the rotation_list variables are not used for rotation, these are renamed to active_ctx_list, which better matches their current function. perf_pmu_rotate_{start,stop} are renamed to perf_pmu_ctx_{activate,deactivate}.

perf: Fix broken interrupt rate throttling This patch fixes the sampling interrupt throttling mechanism. It was broken in v3.2. Events were not being unthrottled. The unthrottling mechanism required that events be checked at each timer tick. This patch solves this problem and also separates: - unthrottling - multiplexing - frequency-mode period adjustments Not all of them need to be executed at each timer tick. This third version of the patch is based on my original patch + PeterZ proposal (https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/7/87). At each timer tick, for each context: - if the current CPU has throttled events, we unthrottle events - if context has frequency-based events, we adjust sampling periods - if we have reached the jiffies interval, we multiplex (rotate) We decoupled rotation (multiplexing) from frequency-mode sampling period adjustments. They should not necessarily happen at the same rate. Multiplexing is subject to jiffies_interval (currently at 1 but could be higher once the tunable is exposed via sysfs). We have grouped frequency-mode adjustment and unthrottling into the same routine to minimize code duplication. When throttled while in frequency mode, we scan the events only once. We have fixed the threshold enforcement code in __perf_event_overflow(). There was a bug whereby it would allow more than the authorized rate because an increment of hwc->interrupts was not executed at the right place. The patch was tested with low sampling limit (2000) and fixed periods, frequency mode, overcommitted PMU. On a 2.1GHz AMD CPU: $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate 2000 We set a rate of 3000 samples/sec (2.1GHz/3000 = 700000): $ perf record -e cycles,cycles -c 700000 noploop 10 $ perf report -D | tail -21 Aggregated stats: TOTAL events: 80086 MMAP events: 88 COMM events: 2 EXIT events: 4 THROTTLE events: 19996 UNTHROTTLE events: 19996 SAMPLE events: 40000 cycles stats: TOTAL events: 40006 MMAP events: 5 COMM events: 1 EXIT events: 4 THROTTLE events: 9998 UNTHROTTLE events: 9998 SAMPLE events: 20000 cycles stats: TOTAL events: 39996 THROTTLE events: 9998 UNTHROTTLE events: 9998 SAMPLE events: 20000 For 10s, the cap is 2x2000x10 = 40000 samples.

perf: Decouple unthrottling and rotating Currently the adjusments made as part of perf_event_task_tick() use the percpu rotation lists to iterate over any active PMU contexts, but these are not used by the context rotation code, having been replaced by separate (per-context) hrtimer callbacks. However, some manipulation of the rotation lists (i.e. removal of contexts) has remained in perf_rotate_context(). This leads to the following issues: * Contexts are not always removed from the rotation lists. Removal of PMUs which have been placed in rotation lists, but have not been removed by a hrtimer callback can result in corruption of the rotation lists (when memory backing the context is freed). This has been observed to result in hangs when PMU drivers built as modules are inserted and removed around the creation of events for said PMUs. * Contexts which do not require rotation may be removed from the rotation lists as a result of a hrtimer, and will not be considered by the unthrottling code in perf_event_task_tick. This patch fixes the issue by updating the rotation ist when events are scheduled in/out, ensuring that each rotation list stays in sync with the HW state.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant.

x86/perf/cqm: Wipe out perf based cqm 'perf cqm' never worked due to the incompatibility between perf infrastructure and cqm hardware support. The hardware uses RMIDs to track the llc occupancy of tasks and these RMIDs are per package. This makes monitoring a hierarchy like cgroup along with monitoring of tasks separately difficult and several patches sent to lkml to fix them were NACKed. Further more, the following issues in the current perf cqm make it almost unusable: 1. No support to monitor the same group of tasks for which we do allocation using resctrl. 2. It gives random and inaccurate data (mostly 0s) once we run out of RMIDs due to issues in Recycling. 3. Recycling results in inaccuracy of data because we cannot guarantee that the RMID was stolen from a task when it was not pulling data into cache or even when it pulled the least data. Also for monitoring llc_occupancy, if we stop using an RMID_x and then start using an RMID_y after we reclaim an RMID from an other event, we miss accounting all the occupancy that was tagged to RMID_x at a later perf_count. 2. Recycling code makes the monitoring code complex including scheduling because the event can lose RMID any time. Since MBM counters count bandwidth for a period of time by taking snap shot of total bytes at two different times, recycling complicates the way we count MBM in a hierarchy. Also we need a spin lock while we do the processing to account for MBM counter overflow. We also currently use a spin lock in scheduling to prevent the RMID from being taken away. 4. Lack of support when we run different kind of event like task, system-wide and cgroup events together. Data mostly prints 0s. This is also because we can have only one RMID tied to a cpu as defined by the cqm hardware but a perf can at the same time tie multiple events during one sched_in. 5. No support of monitoring a group of tasks. There is partial support for cgroup but it does not work once there is a hierarchy of cgroups or if we want to monitor a task in a cgroup and the cgroup itself. 6. No support for monitoring tasks for the lifetime without perf overhead. 7. It reported the aggregate cache occupancy or memory bandwidth over all sockets. But most cloud and VMM based use cases want to know the individual per-socket usage.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

The perf_counter_context structures are reference-counted and freed when the last reference is dropped. A context can have references from its task and the counters on its task. Counters can outlive the task so it is possible that a context will be freed well after its task has exited. Contexts are allocated on fork if the parent had a context, or otherwise the first time that a per-task counter is created on a task. In the latter case, we set the context pointer in the task struct locklessly using an atomic compare-and-exchange operation in case we raced with some other task in creating a context for the subject task. This also removes the task pointer from the perf_counter struct. The task pointer was not used anywhere and would make it harder to move a context from one task to another. Anything that needed to know which task a counter was attached to was already using counter->ctx->task. The __perf_counter_init_context function moves up in perf_counter.c so that it can be called from find_get_context, and now initializes the refcount, but is otherwise unchanged. We were potentially calling list_del_counter twice: once from __perf_counter_exit_task when the task exits and once from __perf_counter_remove_from_context when the counter's fd gets closed. This adds a check in list_del_counter so it doesn't do anything if the counter has already been removed from the lists. Since perf_counter_task_sched_in doesn't do anything if the task doesn't have a context, and leaves cpuctx->task_ctx = NULL, this adds code to __perf_install_in_context to set cpuctx->task_ctx if necessary, i.e. in the case where the current task adds the first counter to itself and thus creates a context for itself. This also adds similar code to __perf_counter_enable to handle a similar situation which can arise when the counters have been disabled using prctl; that also leaves cpuctx->task_ctx = NULL.

perf: Decouple unthrottling and rotating Currently the adjusments made as part of perf_event_task_tick() use the percpu rotation lists to iterate over any active PMU contexts, but these are not used by the context rotation code, having been replaced by separate (per-context) hrtimer callbacks. However, some manipulation of the rotation lists (i.e. removal of contexts) has remained in perf_rotate_context(). This leads to the following issues: * Contexts are not always removed from the rotation lists. Removal of PMUs which have been placed in rotation lists, but have not been removed by a hrtimer callback can result in corruption of the rotation lists (when memory backing the context is freed). This has been observed to result in hangs when PMU drivers built as modules are inserted and removed around the creation of events for said PMUs. * Contexts which do not require rotation may be removed from the rotation lists as a result of a hrtimer, and will not be considered by the unthrottling code in perf_event_task_tick. This patch fixes the issue by updating the rotation ist when events are scheduled in/out, ensuring that each rotation list stays in sync with the HW state. As each event holds a refcount on the module of its PMU, this ensures that when a PMU module is unloaded none of its CPU contexts can be in a rotation list. By maintaining a list of perf_event_contexts rather than perf_event_cpu_contexts, we don't need separate paths to handle the cpu and task contexts, which also makes the code a little simpler. As the rotation_list variables are not used for rotation, these are renamed to active_ctx_list, which better matches their current function. perf_pmu_rotate_{start,stop} are renamed to perf_pmu_ctx_{activate,deactivate}.

This has a few side-benefits: the task_struct becomes a little smaller, we save some memory because only tasks that have perf_counters attached get a perf_counter_context allocated for them, and we can remove the inclusion of <linux/perf_counter.h> in sched.h, meaning that we don't end up recompiling nearly everything whenever perf_counter.h changes. The perf_counter_context structures are reference-counted and freed when the last reference is dropped. A context can have references from its task and the counters on its task. Counters can outlive the task so it is possible that a context will be freed well after its task has exited. Contexts are allocated on fork if the parent had a context, or otherwise the first time that a per-task counter is created on a task. In the latter case, we set the context pointer in the task struct locklessly using an atomic compare-and-exchange operation in case we raced with some other task in creating a context for the subject task. This also removes the task pointer from the perf_counter struct. The task pointer was not used anywhere and would make it harder to move a context from one task to another. Anything that needed to know which task a counter was attached to was already using counter->ctx->task. The __perf_counter_init_context function moves up in perf_counter.c so that it can be called from find_get_context, and now initializes the refcount, but is otherwise unchanged. We were potentially calling list_del_counter twice: once from __perf_counter_exit_task when the task exits and once from __perf_counter_remove_from_context when the counter's fd gets closed. This adds a check in list_del_counter so it doesn't do anything if the counter has already been removed from the lists. Since perf_counter_task_sched_in doesn't do anything if the task doesn't have a context, and leaves cpuctx->task_ctx = NULL, this adds code to __perf_install_in_context to set cpuctx->task_ctx if necessary, i.e. in the case where the current task adds the first counter to itself and thus creates a context for itself. This also adds similar code to __perf_counter_enable to handle a similar situation which can arise when the counters have been disabled using prctl; that also leaves cpuctx->task_ctx = NULL.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

perf_counter: Fix race in attaching counters to tasks and exiting Commit 564c2b21 ("perf_counter: Optimize context switch between identical inherited contexts") introduced a race where it is possible that a counter being attached to a task could get attached to the wrong task, if the task is one that has inherited its context from another task via fork. This happens because the optimized context switch could switch the context to another task after find_get_context has read task->perf_counter_ctxp. In fact, it's possible that the context could then get freed, if the other task then exits. This fixes the problem by protecting both the context switch and the critical code in find_get_context with spinlocks. The context switch locks the cxt->lock of both the outgoing and incoming contexts before swapping them. That means that once code such as find_get_context has obtained the spinlock for the context associated with a task, the context can't get swapped to another task. However, the context may have been swapped in the interval between reading task->perf_counter_ctxp and getting the lock, so it is necessary to check and retry. To make sure that none of the contexts being looked at in find_get_context can get freed, this changes the context freeing code to use RCU. Thus an rcu_read_lock() is sufficient to ensure that no contexts can get freed. This part of the patch is lifted from a patch posted by Peter Zijlstra. This also adds a check to make sure that we can't add a counter to a task that is exiting. There is also a race between perf_counter_exit_task and find_get_context; this solves the race by moving the get_ctx that was in perf_counter_alloc into the locked region in find_get_context, so that once find_get_context has got the context for a task, it won't get freed even if the task calls perf_counter_exit_task. It doesn't matter if new top-level (non-inherited) counters get attached to the context after perf_counter_exit_task has detached the context from the task. They will just stay there and never get scheduled in until the counters' fds get closed, and then perf_release will remove them from the context and eventually free the context. With this, we are now doing the unclone in find_get_context rather than when a counter was added to or removed from a context (actually, we were missing the unclone_ctx() call when adding a counter to a context). We don't need to unclone when removing a counter from a context because we have no way to remove a counter from a cloned context. This also takes out the smp_wmb() in find_get_context, which Peter Zijlstra pointed out was unnecessary because the cmpxchg implies a full barrier anyway.

To make sure that none of the contexts being looked at in find_get_context can get freed, this changes the context freeing code to use RCU. Thus an rcu_read_lock() is sufficient to ensure that no contexts can get freed. This part of the patch is lifted from a patch posted by Peter Zijlstra. This also adds a check to make sure that we can't add a counter to a task that is exiting. There is also a race between perf_counter_exit_task and find_get_context; this solves the race by moving the get_ctx that was in perf_counter_alloc into the locked region in find_get_context, so that once find_get_context has got the context for a task, it won't get freed even if the task calls perf_counter_exit_task. It doesn't matter if new top-level (non-inherited) counters get attached to the context after perf_counter_exit_task has detached the context from the task. They will just stay there and never get scheduled in until the counters' fds get closed, and then perf_release will remove them from the context and eventually free the context. With this, we are now doing the unclone in find_get_context rather than when a counter was added to or removed from a context (actually, we were missing the unclone_ctx() call when adding a counter to a context). We don't need to unclone when removing a counter from a context because we have no way to remove a counter from a cloned context. This also takes out the smp_wmb() in find_get_context, which Peter Zijlstra pointed out was unnecessary because the cmpxchg implies a full barrier anyway.

tracing, perf: Implement BPF programs attached to kprobes BPF programs, attached to kprobes, provide a safe way to execute user-defined BPF byte-code programs without being able to crash or hang the kernel in any way. The BPF engine makes sure that such programs have a finite execution time and that they cannot break out of their sandbox. The user interface is to attach to a kprobe via the perf syscall: struct perf_event_attr attr = { .type = PERF_TYPE_TRACEPOINT, .config = event_id, ... }; event_fd = perf_event_open(&attr,...); ioctl(event_fd, PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_BPF, prog_fd); 'prog_fd' is a file descriptor associated with BPF program previously loaded. 'event_id' is an ID of the kprobe created. Closing 'event_fd': close(event_fd); ... automatically detaches BPF program from it. BPF programs can call in-kernel helper functions to: - lookup/update/delete elements in maps - probe_read - wraper of probe_kernel_read() used to access any kernel data structures BPF programs receive 'struct pt_regs *' as an input ('struct pt_regs' is architecture dependent) and return 0 to ignore the event and 1 to store kprobe event into the ring buffer. Note, kprobes are a fundamentally _not_ a stable kernel ABI, so BPF programs attached to kprobes must be recompiled for every kernel version and user must supply correct LINUX_VERSION_CODE in attr.kern_version during bpf_prog_load() call.

perf: Fix a race between ring_buffer_detach() and ring_buffer_attach() Alexander noticed that we use RCU iteration on rb->event_list but do not use list_{add,del}_rcu() to add,remove entries to that list, nor do we observe proper grace periods when re-using the entries. Merge ring_buffer_detach() into ring_buffer_attach() such that attaching to the NULL buffer is detaching. Furthermore, ensure that between any 'detach' and 'attach' of the same event we observe the required grace period, but only when strictly required. In effect this means that only ioctl(.request = PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT) will wait for a grace period, while the normal initial attach and final detach will not be delayed. This patch should, I think, do the right thing under all circumstances, the 'normal' cases all should never see the extra grace period, but the two cases: 1) PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT on an event which already has a ring_buffer set, will now observe the required grace period between removing itself from the old and attaching itself to the new buffer. This case is 'simple' in that both buffers are present in perf_event_set_output() one could think an unconditional synchronize_rcu() would be sufficient; however... 2) an event that has a buffer attached, the buffer is destroyed (munmap) and then the event is attached to a new/different buffer using PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT. This case is more complex because the buffer destruction does: ring_buffer_attach(.rb = NULL) followed by the ioctl() doing: ring_buffer_attach(.rb = foo); and we still need to observe the grace period between these two calls due to us reusing the event->rb_entry list_head. In order to make 2 happen we use Paul's latest cond_synchronize_rcu() call.

perf: Add PERF_RECORD_SWITCH to indicate context switches 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/core: Introduce address range filtering Many instruction tracing PMUs out there support address range-based filtering, which would, for example, generate trace data only for a given range of instruction addresses, which is useful for tracing individual functions, modules or libraries. Other PMUs may also utilize this functionality to allow filtering to or filtering out code at certain address ranges. This patch introduces the interface for userspace to specify these filters and for the PMU drivers to apply these filters to hardware configuration. The user interface is an ASCII string that is passed via an ioctl() and specifies (in the form of an ASCII string) address ranges within certain object files or within kernel. There is no special treatment for kernel modules yet, but it might be a worthy pursuit. The PMU driver interface basically adds two extra callbacks to the PMU driver structure, one of which validates the filter configuration proposed by the user against what the hardware is actually capable of doing and the other one translates hardware-independent filter configuration into something that can be programmed into the hardware.

perf: Fix a race between ring_buffer_detach() and ring_buffer_attach() Alexander noticed that we use RCU iteration on rb->event_list but do not use list_{add,del}_rcu() to add,remove entries to that list, nor do we observe proper grace periods when re-using the entries. Merge ring_buffer_detach() into ring_buffer_attach() such that attaching to the NULL buffer is detaching. Furthermore, ensure that between any 'detach' and 'attach' of the same event we observe the required grace period, but only when strictly required. In effect this means that only ioctl(.request = PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT) will wait for a grace period, while the normal initial attach and final detach will not be delayed. This patch should, I think, do the right thing under all circumstances, the 'normal' cases all should never see the extra grace period, but the two cases: 1) PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT on an event which already has a ring_buffer set, will now observe the required grace period between removing itself from the old and attaching itself to the new buffer. This case is 'simple' in that both buffers are present in perf_event_set_output() one could think an unconditional synchronize_rcu() would be sufficient; however... 2) an event that has a buffer attached, the buffer is destroyed (munmap) and then the event is attached to a new/different buffer using PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT. This case is more complex because the buffer destruction does: ring_buffer_attach(.rb = NULL) followed by the ioctl() doing: ring_buffer_attach(.rb = foo); and we still need to observe the grace period between these two calls due to us reusing the event->rb_entry list_head. In order to make 2 happen we use Paul's latest cond_synchronize_rcu() call.

perf/core: Better explain the inherit magic While going through the event inheritance code Oleg got confused. Add some comments to better explain the silent dissapearance of orphaned events. So what happens is that at perf_event_release_kernel() time; when an event looses its connection to userspace (and ceases to exist from the user's perspective) we can still have an arbitrary amount of inherited copies of the event. We want to synchronously find and remove all these child events. Since that requires a bit of lock juggling, there is the possibility that concurrent clone()s will create new child events. Therefore we first mark the parent event as DEAD, which marks all the extant child events as orphaned. We then avoid copying orphaned events; in order to avoid getting more of them.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

perf: Fix cloning Alexander reported that when the 'original' context gets destroyed, no new clones happen. This can happen irrespective of the ctx switch optimization, any task can die, even the parent, and we want to continue monitoring the task hierarchy until we either close the event or no tasks are left in the hierarchy. perf_event_init_context() will attempt to pin the 'parent' context during clone(). At that point current is the parent, and since current cannot have exited while executing clone(), its context cannot have passed through perf_event_exit_task_context(). Therefore perf_pin_task_context() cannot observe ctx->task == TASK_TOMBSTONE. However, since inherit_event() does: if (parent_event->parent) parent_event = parent_event->parent; it looks at the 'original' event when it does: is_orphaned_event(). This can return true if the context that contains the this event has passed through perf_event_exit_task_context(). And thus we'll fail to clone the perf context. Fix this by adding a new state: STATE_DEAD, which is set by perf_release() to indicate that the filedesc (or kernel reference) is dead and there are no observers for our data left. Only for STATE_DEAD will is_orphaned_event() be true and inhibit cloning. STATE_EXIT is otherwise preserved such that is_event_hup() remains functional and will report when the observed task hierarchy becomes empty.

perf_counter: Add support for pinned and exclusive counter groups Impact: New perf_counter features A pinned counter group is one that the user wants to have on the CPU whenever possible, i.e. whenever the associated task is running, for a per-task group, or always for a per-cpu group. If the system cannot satisfy that, it puts the group into an error state where it is not scheduled any more and reads from it return EOF (i.e. 0 bytes read). The group can be released from error state and made readable again using prctl(PR_TASK_PERF_COUNTERS_ENABLE). When we have finer-grained enable/disable controls on counters we'll be able to reset the error state on individual groups. An exclusive group is one that the user wants to be the only group using the CPU performance monitor hardware whenever it is on. The counter group scheduler will not schedule an exclusive group if there are already other groups on the CPU and will not schedule other groups onto the CPU if there is an exclusive group scheduled (that statement does not apply to groups containing only software counters, which can always go on and which do not prevent an exclusive group from going on). With an exclusive group, we will be able to let users program PMU registers at a low level without the concern that those settings will perturb other measurements. Along the way this reorganizes things a little: - is_software_counter() is moved to perf_counter.h. - cpuctx->active_oncpu now records the number of hardware counters on the CPU, i.e. it now excludes software counters. Nothing was reading cpuctx->active_oncpu before, so this change is harmless. - A new cpuctx->exclusive field records whether we currently have an exclusive group on the CPU. - counter_sched_out moves higher up in perf_counter.c and gets called from __perf_counter_remove_from_context and __perf_counter_exit_task, where we used to have essentially the same code. - __perf_counter_sched_in now goes through the counter list twice, doing the pinned counters in the first loop and the non-pinned counters in the second loop, in order to give the pinned counters the best chance to be scheduled in. Note that only a group leader can be exclusive or pinned, and that attribute applies to the whole group. This avoids some awkwardness in some corner cases (e.g. where a group leader is closed and the other group members get added to the context list). If we want to relax that restriction later, we can, and it is easier to relax a restriction than to apply a new one. This doesn't yet handle the case where a pinned counter is inherited and goes into error state in the child - the error state is not propagated up to the parent when the child exits, and arguably it should.

perf_counter: Add support for pinned and exclusive counter groups Impact: New perf_counter features A pinned counter group is one that the user wants to have on the CPU whenever possible, i.e. whenever the associated task is running, for a per-task group, or always for a per-cpu group. If the system cannot satisfy that, it puts the group into an error state where it is not scheduled any more and reads from it return EOF (i.e. 0 bytes read). The group can be released from error state and made readable again using prctl(PR_TASK_PERF_COUNTERS_ENABLE). When we have finer-grained enable/disable controls on counters we'll be able to reset the error state on individual groups. An exclusive group is one that the user wants to be the only group using the CPU performance monitor hardware whenever it is on. The counter group scheduler will not schedule an exclusive group if there are already other groups on the CPU and will not schedule other groups onto the CPU if there is an exclusive group scheduled (that statement does not apply to groups containing only software counters, which can always go on and which do not prevent an exclusive group from going on). With an exclusive group, we will be able to let users program PMU registers at a low level without the concern that those settings will perturb other measurements. Along the way this reorganizes things a little: - is_software_counter() is moved to perf_counter.h. - cpuctx->active_oncpu now records the number of hardware counters on the CPU, i.e. it now excludes software counters. Nothing was reading cpuctx->active_oncpu before, so this change is harmless. - A new cpuctx->exclusive field records whether we currently have an exclusive group on the CPU. - counter_sched_out moves higher up in perf_counter.c and gets called from __perf_counter_remove_from_context and __perf_counter_exit_task, where we used to have essentially the same code. - __perf_counter_sched_in now goes through the counter list twice, doing the pinned counters in the first loop and the non-pinned counters in the second loop, in order to give the pinned counters the best chance to be scheduled in. Note that only a group leader can be exclusive or pinned, and that attribute applies to the whole group. This avoids some awkwardness in some corner cases (e.g. where a group leader is closed and the other group members get added to the context list). If we want to relax that restriction later, we can, and it is easier to relax a restriction than to apply a new one. This doesn't yet handle the case where a pinned counter is inherited and goes into error state in the child - the error state is not propagated up to the parent when the child exits, and arguably it should.

You get much fewer samples, maybe 3700 samples/event: $ perf report -D | tail -15 Aggregated stats: TOTAL events: 10998 MMAP events: 66 COMM events: 2 SAMPLE events: 10930 cycles stats: TOTAL events: 3644 SAMPLE events: 3644 cycles stats: TOTAL events: 3642 SAMPLE events: 3642 cycles stats: TOTAL events: 3644 SAMPLE events: 3644 On a Intel Nehalem or even AMD64, there are 4 counters capable of measuring cycles, so there is plenty of space to measure those events without multiplexing (even with the NMI watchdog active). And even with multiplexing, we'd expect roughly the same number of samples per event. The root of the problem was that when the event that caused the buffer to become full was not the first event passed on the cmdline, the user notification would get lost. The notification was sent to the file descriptor of the overflowed event but the perf tool was not polling on it. The perf tool aggregates all samples into a single buffer, i.e., the buffer of the first event. Consequently, it assumes notifications for any event will come via that descriptor. The seemingly straight forward solution of moving the waitq into the ringbuffer object doesn't work because of life-time issues. One could perf_event_set_output() on a fd that you're also blocking on and cause the old rb object to be freed while its waitq would still be referenced by the blocked thread -> FAIL. Therefore link all events to the ringbuffer and broadcast the wakeup from the ringbuffer object to all possible events that could be waited upon. This is rather ugly, and we're open to better solutions but it works for now.

In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer.

perf_counter: Fix race in attaching counters to tasks and exiting Commit 564c2b21 ("perf_counter: Optimize context switch between identical inherited contexts") introduced a race where it is possible that a counter being attached to a task could get attached to the wrong task, if the task is one that has inherited its context from another task via fork. This happens because the optimized context switch could switch the context to another task after find_get_context has read task->perf_counter_ctxp. In fact, it's possible that the context could then get freed, if the other task then exits. This fixes the problem by protecting both the context switch and the critical code in find_get_context with spinlocks. The context switch locks the cxt->lock of both the outgoing and incoming contexts before swapping them. That means that once code such as find_get_context has obtained the spinlock for the context associated with a task, the context can't get swapped to another task. However, the context may have been swapped in the interval between reading task->perf_counter_ctxp and getting the lock, so it is necessary to check and retry. To make sure that none of the contexts being looked at in find_get_context can get freed, this changes the context freeing code to use RCU. Thus an rcu_read_lock() is sufficient to ensure that no contexts can get freed. This part of the patch is lifted from a patch posted by Peter Zijlstra. This also adds a check to make sure that we can't add a counter to a task that is exiting. There is also a race between perf_counter_exit_task and find_get_context; this solves the race by moving the get_ctx that was in perf_counter_alloc into the locked region in find_get_context, so that once find_get_context has got the context for a task, it won't get freed even if the task calls perf_counter_exit_task. It doesn't matter if new top-level (non-inherited) counters get attached to the context after perf_counter_exit_task has detached the context from the task. They will just stay there and never get scheduled in until the counters' fds get closed, and then perf_release will remove them from the context and eventually free the context. With this, we are now doing the unclone in find_get_context rather than when a counter was added to or removed from a context (actually, we were missing the unclone_ctx() call when adding a counter to a context). We don't need to unclone when removing a counter from a context because we have no way to remove a counter from a cloned context. This also takes out the smp_wmb() in find_get_context, which Peter Zijlstra pointed out was unnecessary because the cmpxchg implies a full barrier anyway.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.)

tracing, perf: Implement BPF programs attached to kprobes BPF programs, attached to kprobes, provide a safe way to execute user-defined BPF byte-code programs without being able to crash or hang the kernel in any way. The BPF engine makes sure that such programs have a finite execution time and that they cannot break out of their sandbox. The user interface is to attach to a kprobe via the perf syscall: struct perf_event_attr attr = { .type = PERF_TYPE_TRACEPOINT, .config = event_id, ... }; event_fd = perf_event_open(&attr,...); ioctl(event_fd, PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_BPF, prog_fd); 'prog_fd' is a file descriptor associated with BPF program previously loaded. 'event_id' is an ID of the kprobe created. Closing 'event_fd': close(event_fd); ... automatically detaches BPF program from it. BPF programs can call in-kernel helper functions to: - lookup/update/delete elements in maps - probe_read - wraper of probe_kernel_read() used to access any kernel data structures BPF programs receive 'struct pt_regs *' as an input ('struct pt_regs' is architecture dependent) and return 0 to ignore the event and 1 to store kprobe event into the ring buffer. Note, kprobes are a fundamentally _not_ a stable kernel ABI, so BPF programs attached to kprobes must be recompiled for every kernel version and user must supply correct LINUX_VERSION_CODE in attr.kern_version during bpf_prog_load() call.

perf_counter: Add counter enable/disable ioctls Impact: New perf_counter features This primarily adds a way for perf_counter users to enable and disable counters and groups. Enabling or disabling a counter or group also enables or disables all of the child counters that have been cloned from it to monitor children of the task monitored by the top-level counter. The userspace interface to enable/disable counters is via ioctl on the counter file descriptor. Along the way this extends the code that handles child counters to handle child counter groups properly. A group with multiple counters will be cloned to child tasks if and only if the group leader has the hw_event.inherit bit set - if it is set the whole group is cloned as a group in the child task. In order to be able to enable or disable all child counters of a given top-level counter, we need a way to find them all. Hence I have added a child_list field to struct perf_counter, which is the head of the list of children for a top-level counter, or the link in that list for a child counter. That list is protected by the perf_counter.mutex field. This also adds a mutex to the perf_counter_context struct. Previously the list of counters was protected just by the lock field in the context, which meant that perf_counter_init_task had to take that lock and then take whatever lock/mutex protects the top-level counter's child_list. But the counter enable/disable functions need to take that lock in order to traverse the list, then for each counter take the lock in that counter's context in order to change the counter's state safely, which will lead to a deadlock. To solve this, we now have both a mutex and a spinlock in the context, and taking either is sufficient to ensure the list of counters can't change - you have to take both before changing the list. Now perf_counter_init_task takes the mutex instead of the lock (which incidentally means that inherit_counter can use GFP_KERNEL instead of GFP_ATOMIC) and thus avoids the possible deadlock. Similarly the new enable/disable functions can take the mutex while traversing the list of child counters without incurring a possible deadlock when the counter manipulation code locks the context for a child counter. We also had an misfeature that the first counter added to a context would possibly not go on until the next sched-in, because we were using ctx->nr_active to detect if the context was running on a CPU. But nr_active is the number of active counters, and if that was zero (because the context didn't have any counters yet) it would look like the context wasn't running on a cpu and so the retry code in __perf_install_in_context wouldn't retry. So this adds an 'is_active' field that is set when the context is on a CPU, even if it has no counters. The is_active field is only used for task contexts, not for per-cpu contexts. If we enable a subsidiary counter in a group that is active on a CPU, and the arch code can't enable the counter, then we have to pull the whole group off the CPU. We do this with group_sched_out, which gets moved up in the file so it comes before all its callers. This also adds similar logic to __perf_install_in_context so that the "all on, or none" invariant of groups is preserved when adding a new counter to a group.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility.

tracing, perf: Implement BPF programs attached to kprobes BPF programs, attached to kprobes, provide a safe way to execute user-defined BPF byte-code programs without being able to crash or hang the kernel in any way. The BPF engine makes sure that such programs have a finite execution time and that they cannot break out of their sandbox. The user interface is to attach to a kprobe via the perf syscall: struct perf_event_attr attr = { .type = PERF_TYPE_TRACEPOINT, .config = event_id, ... }; event_fd = perf_event_open(&attr,...); ioctl(event_fd, PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_BPF, prog_fd); 'prog_fd' is a file descriptor associated with BPF program previously loaded. 'event_id' is an ID of the kprobe created. Closing 'event_fd': close(event_fd); ... automatically detaches BPF program from it. BPF programs can call in-kernel helper functions to: - lookup/update/delete elements in maps - probe_read - wraper of probe_kernel_read() used to access any kernel data structures BPF programs receive 'struct pt_regs *' as an input ('struct pt_regs' is architecture dependent) and return 0 to ignore the event and 1 to store kprobe event into the ring buffer. Note, kprobes are a fundamentally _not_ a stable kernel ABI, so BPF programs attached to kprobes must be recompiled for every kernel version and user must supply correct LINUX_VERSION_CODE in attr.kern_version during bpf_prog_load() call.

perf/ring_buffer: Introduce new ioctl options to pause and resume the ring-buffer Add new ioctl() to pause/resume ring-buffer output. In some situations we want to read from the ring-buffer only when we ensure nothing can write to the ring-buffer during reading. Without this patch we have to turn off all events attached to this ring-buffer to achieve this. This patch is a prerequisite to enable overwrite support for the perf ring-buffer support. Following commits will introduce new methods support reading from overwrite ring buffer. Before reading, caller must ensure the ring buffer is frozen, or the reading is unreliable.

perf_counter: Add counter enable/disable ioctls Impact: New perf_counter features This primarily adds a way for perf_counter users to enable and disable counters and groups. Enabling or disabling a counter or group also enables or disables all of the child counters that have been cloned from it to monitor children of the task monitored by the top-level counter. The userspace interface to enable/disable counters is via ioctl on the counter file descriptor. Along the way this extends the code that handles child counters to handle child counter groups properly. A group with multiple counters will be cloned to child tasks if and only if the group leader has the hw_event.inherit bit set - if it is set the whole group is cloned as a group in the child task. In order to be able to enable or disable all child counters of a given top-level counter, we need a way to find them all. Hence I have added a child_list field to struct perf_counter, which is the head of the list of children for a top-level counter, or the link in that list for a child counter. That list is protected by the perf_counter.mutex field. This also adds a mutex to the perf_counter_context struct. Previously the list of counters was protected just by the lock field in the context, which meant that perf_counter_init_task had to take that lock and then take whatever lock/mutex protects the top-level counter's child_list. But the counter enable/disable functions need to take that lock in order to traverse the list, then for each counter take the lock in that counter's context in order to change the counter's state safely, which will lead to a deadlock. To solve this, we now have both a mutex and a spinlock in the context, and taking either is sufficient to ensure the list of counters can't change - you have to take both before changing the list. Now perf_counter_init_task takes the mutex instead of the lock (which incidentally means that inherit_counter can use GFP_KERNEL instead of GFP_ATOMIC) and thus avoids the possible deadlock. Similarly the new enable/disable functions can take the mutex while traversing the list of child counters without incurring a possible deadlock when the counter manipulation code locks the context for a child counter. We also had an misfeature that the first counter added to a context would possibly not go on until the next sched-in, because we were using ctx->nr_active to detect if the context was running on a CPU. But nr_active is the number of active counters, and if that was zero (because the context didn't have any counters yet) it would look like the context wasn't running on a cpu and so the retry code in __perf_install_in_context wouldn't retry. So this adds an 'is_active' field that is set when the context is on a CPU, even if it has no counters. The is_active field is only used for task contexts, not for per-cpu contexts. If we enable a subsidiary counter in a group that is active on a CPU, and the arch code can't enable the counter, then we have to pull the whole group off the CPU. We do this with group_sched_out, which gets moved up in the file so it comes before all its callers. This also adds similar logic to __perf_install_in_context so that the "all on, or none" invariant of groups is preserved when adding a new counter to a group.

Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.)

perf_counter: Add counter enable/disable ioctls Impact: New perf_counter features This primarily adds a way for perf_counter users to enable and disable counters and groups. Enabling or disabling a counter or group also enables or disables all of the child counters that have been cloned from it to monitor children of the task monitored by the top-level counter. The userspace interface to enable/disable counters is via ioctl on the counter file descriptor. Along the way this extends the code that handles child counters to handle child counter groups properly. A group with multiple counters will be cloned to child tasks if and only if the group leader has the hw_event.inherit bit set - if it is set the whole group is cloned as a group in the child task. In order to be able to enable or disable all child counters of a given top-level counter, we need a way to find them all. Hence I have added a child_list field to struct perf_counter, which is the head of the list of children for a top-level counter, or the link in that list for a child counter. That list is protected by the perf_counter.mutex field. This also adds a mutex to the perf_counter_context struct. Previously the list of counters was protected just by the lock field in the context, which meant that perf_counter_init_task had to take that lock and then take whatever lock/mutex protects the top-level counter's child_list. But the counter enable/disable functions need to take that lock in order to traverse the list, then for each counter take the lock in that counter's context in order to change the counter's state safely, which will lead to a deadlock. To solve this, we now have both a mutex and a spinlock in the context, and taking either is sufficient to ensure the list of counters can't change - you have to take both before changing the list. Now perf_counter_init_task takes the mutex instead of the lock (which incidentally means that inherit_counter can use GFP_KERNEL instead of GFP_ATOMIC) and thus avoids the possible deadlock. Similarly the new enable/disable functions can take the mutex while traversing the list of child counters without incurring a possible deadlock when the counter manipulation code locks the context for a child counter. We also had an misfeature that the first counter added to a context would possibly not go on until the next sched-in, because we were using ctx->nr_active to detect if the context was running on a CPU. But nr_active is the number of active counters, and if that was zero (because the context didn't have any counters yet) it would look like the context wasn't running on a cpu and so the retry code in __perf_install_in_context wouldn't retry. So this adds an 'is_active' field that is set when the context is on a CPU, even if it has no counters. The is_active field is only used for task contexts, not for per-cpu contexts. If we enable a subsidiary counter in a group that is active on a CPU, and the arch code can't enable the counter, then we have to pull the whole group off the CPU. We do this with group_sched_out, which gets moved up in the file so it comes before all its callers. This also adds similar logic to __perf_install_in_context so that the "all on, or none" invariant of groups is preserved when adding a new counter to a group.

perf: Fix capabilities bitfield compatibility in 'struct perf_event_mmap_page' Solve the problems around the broken definition of perf_event_mmap_page:: cap_usr_time and cap_usr_rdpmc fields which used to overlap, partially fixed by: 860f085b74e9 ("perf: Fix broken union in 'struct perf_event_mmap_page'") The problem with the fix (merged in v3.12-rc1 and not yet released officially), noticed by Vince Weaver is that the new behavior is not detectable by new user-space, and that due to the reuse of the field names it's easy to mis-compile a binary if old headers are used on a new kernel or new headers are used on an old kernel. To solve all that make this change explicit, detectable and self-contained, by iterating the ABI the following way: - Always clear bit 0, and rename it to usrpage->cap_bit0, to at least not confuse old user-space binaries. RDPMC will be marked as unavailable to old binaries but that's within the ABI, this is a capability bit. - Rename bit 1 to ->cap_bit0_is_deprecated and always set it to 1, so new libraries can reliably detect that bit 0 is deprecated and perma-zero without having to check the kernel version. - Use bits 2, 3, 4 for the newly defined, correct functionality: cap_user_rdpmc : 1, /* The RDPMC instruction can be used to read counts */ cap_user_time : 1, /* The time_* fields are used */ cap_user_time_zero : 1, /* The time_zero field is used */ - Rename all the bitfield names in perf_event.h to be different from the old names, to make sure it's not possible to mis-compile it accidentally with old assumptions. The 'size' field can then be used in the future to add new fields and it will act as a natural ABI version indicator as well.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window.

perf: Fix loss of notification with multi-event When you do: $ perf record -e cycles,cycles,cycles noploop 10 You expect about 10,000 samples for each event, i.e., 10s at 1000samples/sec. However, this is not what's happening. You get much fewer samples, maybe 3700 samples/event: $ perf report -D | tail -15 Aggregated stats: TOTAL events: 10998 MMAP events: 66 COMM events: 2 SAMPLE events: 10930 cycles stats: TOTAL events: 3644 SAMPLE events: 3644 cycles stats: TOTAL events: 3642 SAMPLE events: 3642 cycles stats: TOTAL events: 3644 SAMPLE events: 3644 On a Intel Nehalem or even AMD64, there are 4 counters capable of measuring cycles, so there is plenty of space to measure those events without multiplexing (even with the NMI watchdog active). And even with multiplexing, we'd expect roughly the same number of samples per event. The root of the problem was that when the event that caused the buffer to become full was not the first event passed on the cmdline, the user notification would get lost. The notification was sent to the file descriptor of the overflowed event but the perf tool was not polling on it. The perf tool aggregates all samples into a single buffer, i.e., the buffer of the first event. Consequently, it assumes notifications for any event will come via that descriptor. The seemingly straight forward solution of moving the waitq into the ringbuffer object doesn't work because of life-time issues. One could perf_event_set_output() on a fd that you're also blocking on and cause the old rb object to be freed while its waitq would still be referenced by the blocked thread -> FAIL. Therefore link all events to the ringbuffer and broadcast the wakeup from the ringbuffer object to all possible events that could be waited upon. This is rather ugly, and we're open to better solutions but it works for now.

Merge ring_buffer_detach() into ring_buffer_attach() such that attaching to the NULL buffer is detaching. Furthermore, ensure that between any 'detach' and 'attach' of the same event we observe the required grace period, but only when strictly required. In effect this means that only ioctl(.request = PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT) will wait for a grace period, while the normal initial attach and final detach will not be delayed. This patch should, I think, do the right thing under all circumstances, the 'normal' cases all should never see the extra grace period, but the two cases: 1) PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT on an event which already has a ring_buffer set, will now observe the required grace period between removing itself from the old and attaching itself to the new buffer. This case is 'simple' in that both buffers are present in perf_event_set_output() one could think an unconditional synchronize_rcu() would be sufficient; however... 2) an event that has a buffer attached, the buffer is destroyed (munmap) and then the event is attached to a new/different buffer using PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT. This case is more complex because the buffer destruction does: ring_buffer_attach(.rb = NULL) followed by the ioctl() doing: ring_buffer_attach(.rb = foo); and we still need to observe the grace period between these two calls due to us reusing the event->rb_entry list_head.

perf: Fix loss of notification with multi-event When you do: $ perf record -e cycles,cycles,cycles noploop 10 You expect about 10,000 samples for each event, i.e., 10s at 1000samples/sec. However, this is not what's happening. You get much fewer samples, maybe 3700 samples/event: $ perf report -D | tail -15 Aggregated stats: TOTAL events: 10998 MMAP events: 66 COMM events: 2 SAMPLE events: 10930 cycles stats: TOTAL events: 3644 SAMPLE events: 3644 cycles stats: TOTAL events: 3642 SAMPLE events: 3642 cycles stats: TOTAL events: 3644 SAMPLE events: 3644 On a Intel Nehalem or even AMD64, there are 4 counters capable of measuring cycles, so there is plenty of space to measure those events without multiplexing (even with the NMI watchdog active). And even with multiplexing, we'd expect roughly the same number of samples per event. The root of the problem was that when the event that caused the buffer to become full was not the first event passed on the cmdline, the user notification would get lost. The notification was sent to the file descriptor of the overflowed event but the perf tool was not polling on it. The perf tool aggregates all samples into a single buffer, i.e., the buffer of the first event. Consequently, it assumes notifications for any event will come via that descriptor. The seemingly straight forward solution of moving the waitq into the ringbuffer object doesn't work because of life-time issues. One could perf_event_set_output() on a fd that you're also blocking on and cause the old rb object to be freed while its waitq would still be referenced by the blocked thread -> FAIL. Therefore link all events to the ringbuffer and broadcast the wakeup from the ringbuffer object to all possible events that could be waited upon. This is rather ugly, and we're open to better solutions but it works for now.

Merge ring_buffer_detach() into ring_buffer_attach() such that attaching to the NULL buffer is detaching. Furthermore, ensure that between any 'detach' and 'attach' of the same event we observe the required grace period, but only when strictly required. In effect this means that only ioctl(.request = PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT) will wait for a grace period, while the normal initial attach and final detach will not be delayed. This patch should, I think, do the right thing under all circumstances, the 'normal' cases all should never see the extra grace period, but the two cases: 1) PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT on an event which already has a ring_buffer set, will now observe the required grace period between removing itself from the old and attaching itself to the new buffer. This case is 'simple' in that both buffers are present in perf_event_set_output() one could think an unconditional synchronize_rcu() would be sufficient; however... 2) an event that has a buffer attached, the buffer is destroyed (munmap) and then the event is attached to a new/different buffer using PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT. This case is more complex because the buffer destruction does: ring_buffer_attach(.rb = NULL) followed by the ioctl() doing: ring_buffer_attach(.rb = foo); and we still need to observe the grace period between these two calls due to us reusing the event->rb_entry list_head.

perf/core: Fix a race between mmap_close() and set_output() of AUX events In the mmap_close() path we need to stop all the AUX events that are writing data to the AUX area that we are unmapping, before we can safely free the pages. To determine if an event needs to be stopped, we're comparing its ->rb against the one that's getting unmapped. However, a SET_OUTPUT ioctl may turn up inside an AUX transaction and swizzle event::rb to some other ring buffer, but the transaction will keep writing data to the old ring buffer until the event gets scheduled out. At this point, mmap_close() will skip over such an event and will proceed to free the AUX area, while it's still being used by this event, which will set off a warning in the mmap_close() path and cause a memory corruption. To avoid this, always stop an AUX event before its ->rb is updated; this will release the (potentially) last reference on the AUX area of the buffer. If the event gets restarted, its new ring buffer will be used. If another SET_OUTPUT comes and switches it back to the old ring buffer that's getting unmapped, it's also fine: this ring buffer's aux_mmap_count will be zero and AUX transactions won't start any more.

The perf tool aggregates all samples into a single buffer, i.e., the buffer of the first event. Consequently, it assumes notifications for any event will come via that descriptor. The seemingly straight forward solution of moving the waitq into the ringbuffer object doesn't work because of life-time issues. One could perf_event_set_output() on a fd that you're also blocking on and cause the old rb object to be freed while its waitq would still be referenced by the blocked thread -> FAIL. Therefore link all events to the ringbuffer and broadcast the wakeup from the ringbuffer object to all possible events that could be waited upon. This is rather ugly, and we're open to better solutions but it works for now.

perf: Add AUX area to ring buffer for raw data streams This patch introduces "AUX space" in the perf mmap buffer, intended for exporting high bandwidth data streams to userspace, such as instruction flow traces. AUX space is a ring buffer, defined by aux_{offset,size} fields in the user_page structure, and read/write pointers aux_{head,tail}, which abide by the same rules as data_* counterparts of the main perf buffer. In order to allocate/mmap AUX, userspace needs to set up aux_offset to such an offset that will be greater than data_offset+data_size and aux_size to be the desired buffer size. Both need to be page aligned. Then, same aux_offset and aux_size should be passed to mmap() call and if everything adds up, you should have an AUX buffer as a result. Pages that are mapped into this buffer also come out of user's mlock rlimit plus perf_event_mlock_kb allowance.

perf: Fix a race between ring_buffer_detach() and ring_buffer_attach() Alexander noticed that we use RCU iteration on rb->event_list but do not use list_{add,del}_rcu() to add,remove entries to that list, nor do we observe proper grace periods when re-using the entries. Merge ring_buffer_detach() into ring_buffer_attach() such that attaching to the NULL buffer is detaching. Furthermore, ensure that between any 'detach' and 'attach' of the same event we observe the required grace period, but only when strictly required. In effect this means that only ioctl(.request = PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT) will wait for a grace period, while the normal initial attach and final detach will not be delayed. This patch should, I think, do the right thing under all circumstances, the 'normal' cases all should never see the extra grace period, but the two cases: 1) PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT on an event which already has a ring_buffer set, will now observe the required grace period between removing itself from the old and attaching itself to the new buffer. This case is 'simple' in that both buffers are present in perf_event_set_output() one could think an unconditional synchronize_rcu() would be sufficient; however... 2) an event that has a buffer attached, the buffer is destroyed (munmap) and then the event is attached to a new/different buffer using PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT. This case is more complex because the buffer destruction does: ring_buffer_attach(.rb = NULL) followed by the ioctl() doing: ring_buffer_attach(.rb = foo); and we still need to observe the grace period between these two calls due to us reusing the event->rb_entry list_head. In order to make 2 happen we use Paul's latest cond_synchronize_rcu() call.

perf: Fix a race between ring_buffer_detach() and ring_buffer_attach() Alexander noticed that we use RCU iteration on rb->event_list but do not use list_{add,del}_rcu() to add,remove entries to that list, nor do we observe proper grace periods when re-using the entries. Merge ring_buffer_detach() into ring_buffer_attach() such that attaching to the NULL buffer is detaching. Furthermore, ensure that between any 'detach' and 'attach' of the same event we observe the required grace period, but only when strictly required. In effect this means that only ioctl(.request = PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT) will wait for a grace period, while the normal initial attach and final detach will not be delayed. This patch should, I think, do the right thing under all circumstances, the 'normal' cases all should never see the extra grace period, but the two cases: 1) PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT on an event which already has a ring_buffer set, will now observe the required grace period between removing itself from the old and attaching itself to the new buffer. This case is 'simple' in that both buffers are present in perf_event_set_output() one could think an unconditional synchronize_rcu() would be sufficient; however... 2) an event that has a buffer attached, the buffer is destroyed (munmap) and then the event is attached to a new/different buffer using PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT. This case is more complex because the buffer destruction does: ring_buffer_attach(.rb = NULL) followed by the ioctl() doing: ring_buffer_attach(.rb = foo); and we still need to observe the grace period between these two calls due to us reusing the event->rb_entry list_head.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

perf: Add AUX area to ring buffer for raw data streams This patch introduces "AUX space" in the perf mmap buffer, intended for exporting high bandwidth data streams to userspace, such as instruction flow traces. AUX space is a ring buffer, defined by aux_{offset,size} fields in the user_page structure, and read/write pointers aux_{head,tail}, which abide by the same rules as data_* counterparts of the main perf buffer. In order to allocate/mmap AUX, userspace needs to set up aux_offset to such an offset that will be greater than data_offset+data_size and aux_size to be the desired buffer size. Both need to be page aligned. Then, same aux_offset and aux_size should be passed to mmap() call and if everything adds up, you should have an AUX buffer as a result. Pages that are mapped into this buffer also come out of user's mlock rlimit plus perf_event_mlock_kb allowance.

perf: Add AUX area to ring buffer for raw data streams This patch introduces "AUX space" in the perf mmap buffer, intended for exporting high bandwidth data streams to userspace, such as instruction flow traces. AUX space is a ring buffer, defined by aux_{offset,size} fields in the user_page structure, and read/write pointers aux_{head,tail}, which abide by the same rules as data_* counterparts of the main perf buffer. In order to allocate/mmap AUX, userspace needs to set up aux_offset to such an offset that will be greater than data_offset+data_size and aux_size to be the desired buffer size. Both need to be page aligned. Then, same aux_offset and aux_size should be passed to mmap() call and if everything adds up, you should have an AUX buffer as a result. Pages that are mapped into this buffer also come out of user's mlock rlimit plus perf_event_mlock_kb allowance.

perf_counter: Add counter enable/disable ioctls Impact: New perf_counter features This primarily adds a way for perf_counter users to enable and disable counters and groups. Enabling or disabling a counter or group also enables or disables all of the child counters that have been cloned from it to monitor children of the task monitored by the top-level counter. The userspace interface to enable/disable counters is via ioctl on the counter file descriptor. Along the way this extends the code that handles child counters to handle child counter groups properly. A group with multiple counters will be cloned to child tasks if and only if the group leader has the hw_event.inherit bit set - if it is set the whole group is cloned as a group in the child task. In order to be able to enable or disable all child counters of a given top-level counter, we need a way to find them all. Hence I have added a child_list field to struct perf_counter, which is the head of the list of children for a top-level counter, or the link in that list for a child counter. That list is protected by the perf_counter.mutex field. This also adds a mutex to the perf_counter_context struct. Previously the list of counters was protected just by the lock field in the context, which meant that perf_counter_init_task had to take that lock and then take whatever lock/mutex protects the top-level counter's child_list. But the counter enable/disable functions need to take that lock in order to traverse the list, then for each counter take the lock in that counter's context in order to change the counter's state safely, which will lead to a deadlock. To solve this, we now have both a mutex and a spinlock in the context, and taking either is sufficient to ensure the list of counters can't change - you have to take both before changing the list. Now perf_counter_init_task takes the mutex instead of the lock (which incidentally means that inherit_counter can use GFP_KERNEL instead of GFP_ATOMIC) and thus avoids the possible deadlock. Similarly the new enable/disable functions can take the mutex while traversing the list of child counters without incurring a possible deadlock when the counter manipulation code locks the context for a child counter. We also had an misfeature that the first counter added to a context would possibly not go on until the next sched-in, because we were using ctx->nr_active to detect if the context was running on a CPU. But nr_active is the number of active counters, and if that was zero (because the context didn't have any counters yet) it would look like the context wasn't running on a cpu and so the retry code in __perf_install_in_context wouldn't retry. So this adds an 'is_active' field that is set when the context is on a CPU, even if it has no counters. The is_active field is only used for task contexts, not for per-cpu contexts. If we enable a subsidiary counter in a group that is active on a CPU, and the arch code can't enable the counter, then we have to pull the whole group off the CPU. We do this with group_sched_out, which gets moved up in the file so it comes before all its callers. This also adds similar logic to __perf_install_in_context so that the "all on, or none" invariant of groups is preserved when adding a new counter to a group.

perf: Fix loss of notification with multi-event When you do: $ perf record -e cycles,cycles,cycles noploop 10 You expect about 10,000 samples for each event, i.e., 10s at 1000samples/sec. However, this is not what's happening. You get much fewer samples, maybe 3700 samples/event: $ perf report -D | tail -15 Aggregated stats: TOTAL events: 10998 MMAP events: 66 COMM events: 2 SAMPLE events: 10930 cycles stats: TOTAL events: 3644 SAMPLE events: 3644 cycles stats: TOTAL events: 3642 SAMPLE events: 3642 cycles stats: TOTAL events: 3644 SAMPLE events: 3644 On a Intel Nehalem or even AMD64, there are 4 counters capable of measuring cycles, so there is plenty of space to measure those events without multiplexing (even with the NMI watchdog active). And even with multiplexing, we'd expect roughly the same number of samples per event. The root of the problem was that when the event that caused the buffer to become full was not the first event passed on the cmdline, the user notification would get lost. The notification was sent to the file descriptor of the overflowed event but the perf tool was not polling on it. The perf tool aggregates all samples into a single buffer, i.e., the buffer of the first event. Consequently, it assumes notifications for any event will come via that descriptor. The seemingly straight forward solution of moving the waitq into the ringbuffer object doesn't work because of life-time issues. One could perf_event_set_output() on a fd that you're also blocking on and cause the old rb object to be freed while its waitq would still be referenced by the blocked thread -> FAIL. Therefore link all events to the ringbuffer and broadcast the wakeup from the ringbuffer object to all possible events that could be waited upon. This is rather ugly, and we're open to better solutions but it works for now.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.)

perf: Add per event clockid support While thinking on the whole clock discussion it occurred to me we have two distinct uses of time: 1) the tracking of event/ctx/cgroup enabled/running/stopped times which includes the self-monitoring support in struct perf_event_mmap_page. 2) the actual timestamps visible in the data records. And we've been conflating them. The first is all about tracking time deltas, nobody should really care in what time base that happens, its all relative information, as long as its internally consistent it works. The second however is what people are worried about when having to merge their data with external sources. And here we have the discussion on MONOTONIC vs MONOTONIC_RAW etc.. Where MONOTONIC is good for correlating between machines (static offset), MONOTNIC_RAW is required for correlating against a fixed rate hardware clock. This means configurability; now 1) makes that hard because it needs to be internally consistent across groups of unrelated events; which is why we had to have a global perf_clock(). However, for 2) it doesn't really matter, perf itself doesn't care what it writes into the buffer. The below patch makes the distinction between these two cases by adding perf_event_clock() which is used for the second case. It further makes this configurable on a per-event basis, but adds a few sanity checks such that we cannot combine events with different clocks in confusing ways. And since we then have per-event configurability we might as well retain the 'legacy' behaviour as a default.

perf: make events stream always parsable The event stream is not always parsable because the format of a sample is dependent on the sample_type of the selected event. When there is more than one selected event and the sample_types are not the same then parsing becomes problematic. A sample can be matched to its selected event using the ID that is allocated when the event is opened. Unfortunately, to get the ID from the sample means first parsing it. This patch adds a new sample format bit PERF_SAMPLE_IDENTIFER that puts the ID at a fixed position so that the ID can be retrieved without parsing the sample. For sample events, that is the first position immediately after the header. For non-sample events, that is the last position. In this respect parsing samples requires that the sample_type and ID values are recorded. For example, perf tools records struct perf_event_attr and the IDs within the perf.data file. Those must be read first before it is possible to parse samples found later in the perf.data file.

perf_events: Fix time tracking in samples This patch corrects time tracking in samples. Without this patch both time_enabled and time_running are bogus when user asks for PERF_SAMPLE_READ. One uses PERF_SAMPLE_READ to sample the values of other counters in each sample. Because of multiplexing, it is necessary to know both time_enabled, time_running to be able to scale counts correctly. In this second version of the patch, we maintain a shadow copy of ctx->time which allows us to compute ctx->time without calling update_context_time() from NMI context. We avoid the issue that update_context_time() must always be called with ctx->lock held. We do not keep shadow copies of the other event timings because if the lead event is overflowing then it is active and thus it's been scheduled in via event_sched_in() in which case neither tstamp_stopped, tstamp_running can be modified. This timing logic only applies to samples when PERF_SAMPLE_READ is used. Note that this patch does not address timing issues related to sampling inheritance between tasks. This will be addressed in a future patch.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

perf_events: Fix time tracking in samples This patch corrects time tracking in samples. Without this patch both time_enabled and time_running are bogus when user asks for PERF_SAMPLE_READ. One uses PERF_SAMPLE_READ to sample the values of other counters in each sample. Because of multiplexing, it is necessary to know both time_enabled, time_running to be able to scale counts correctly. In this second version of the patch, we maintain a shadow copy of ctx->time which allows us to compute ctx->time without calling update_context_time() from NMI context. We avoid the issue that update_context_time() must always be called with ctx->lock held. We do not keep shadow copies of the other event timings because if the lead event is overflowing then it is active and thus it's been scheduled in via event_sched_in() in which case neither tstamp_stopped, tstamp_running can be modified. This timing logic only applies to samples when PERF_SAMPLE_READ is used. Note that this patch does not address timing issues related to sampling inheritance between tasks.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer.

perf_events: Fix time tracking in samples This patch corrects time tracking in samples. Without this patch both time_enabled and time_running are bogus when user asks for PERF_SAMPLE_READ. One uses PERF_SAMPLE_READ to sample the values of other counters in each sample. Because of multiplexing, it is necessary to know both time_enabled, time_running to be able to scale counts correctly. In this second version of the patch, we maintain a shadow copy of ctx->time which allows us to compute ctx->time without calling update_context_time() from NMI context. We avoid the issue that update_context_time() must always be called with ctx->lock held. We do not keep shadow copies of the other event timings because if the lead event is overflowing then it is active and thus it's been scheduled in via event_sched_in() in which case neither tstamp_stopped, tstamp_running can be modified. This timing logic only applies to samples when PERF_SAMPLE_READ is used. Note that this patch does not address timing issues related to sampling inheritance between tasks.

perf: make events stream always parsable The event stream is not always parsable because the format of a sample is dependent on the sample_type of the selected event. When there is more than one selected event and the sample_types are not the same then parsing becomes problematic. A sample can be matched to its selected event using the ID that is allocated when the event is opened. Unfortunately, to get the ID from the sample means first parsing it. This patch adds a new sample format bit PERF_SAMPLE_IDENTIFER that puts the ID at a fixed position so that the ID can be retrieved without parsing the sample. For sample events, that is the first position immediately after the header. For non-sample events, that is the last position. In this respect parsing samples requires that the sample_type and ID values are recorded. For example, perf tools records struct perf_event_attr and the IDs within the perf.data file. Those must be read first before it is possible to parse samples found later in the perf.data file.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window.

perf, events: add non-linear data support for raw records This patch adds support for non-linear data on raw records. It extends raw records to have one or multiple fragments that will be written linearly into the ring slot, where each fragment can optionally have a custom callback handler to walk and extract complex, possibly non-linear data. If a callback handler is provided for a fragment, then the new __output_custom() will be used instead of __output_copy() for the perf_output_sample() part. perf_prepare_sample() does all the size calculation only once, so perf_output_sample() doesn't need to redo the same work anymore, meaning real_size and padding will be cached in the raw record. The raw record becomes 32 bytes in size without holes; to not increase it further and to avoid doing unnecessary recalculations in fast-path, we can reuse next pointer of the last fragment, idea here is borrowed from ZERO_OR_NULL_PTR(), which should keep the perf_output_sample() path for PERF_SAMPLE_RAW minimal. This facility is needed for BPF's event output helper as a first user that will, in a follow-up, add an additional perf_raw_frag to its perf_raw_record in order to be able to more efficiently dump skb context after a linear head meta data related to it. skbs can be non-linear and thus need a custom output function to dump buffers. Currently, the skb data needs to be copied twice; with the help of __output_custom() this work only needs to be done once. Future users could be things like XDP/BPF programs that work on different context though and would thus also have a different callback function. The few users of raw records are adapted to initialize their frag data from the raw record itself, no change in behavior for them. The code is based upon a PoC diff provided by Peter Zijlstra [1].

perf: Add generic taken branch sampling support This patch adds the ability to sample taken branches to the perf_event interface. The ability to capture taken branches is very useful for all sorts of analysis. For instance, basic block profiling, call counts, statistical call graph. This new capability requires hardware assist and as such may not be available on all HW platforms. On Intel x86 it is implemented on top of the Last Branch Record (LBR) facility. To enable taken branches sampling, the PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK bit must be set in attr->sample_type. Sampled taken branches may be filtered by type and/or priv levels. The patch adds a new field, called branch_sample_type, to the perf_event_attr structure. It contains a bitmask of filters to apply to the sampled taken branches. Filters may be implemented in HW. If the HW filter does not exist or is not good enough, some arch may also implement a SW filter. The following generic filters are currently defined: - PERF_SAMPLE_USER only branches whose targets are at the user level - PERF_SAMPLE_KERNEL only branches whose targets are at the kernel level - PERF_SAMPLE_HV only branches whose targets are at the hypervisor level - PERF_SAMPLE_ANY any type of branches (subject to priv levels filters) - PERF_SAMPLE_ANY_CALL any call branches (may incl. syscall on some arch) - PERF_SAMPLE_ANY_RET any return branches (may incl. syscall returns on some arch) - PERF_SAMPLE_IND_CALL indirect call branches Obviously filter may be combined. The priv level bits are optional. If not provided, the priv level of the associated event are used. It is possible to collect branches at a priv level different from the associated event. Use of kernel, hv priv levels is subject to permissions and availability (hv). The number of taken branch records present in each sample may vary based on HW, the type of sampled branches, the executed code. Therefore each sample contains the number of taken branches it contains.

perf: Add ability to attach user level registers dump to sample Introducing PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_USER sample type bit to trigger the dump of user level registers on sample. Registers we want to dump are specified by sample_regs_user bitmask. Only user level registers are dumped at the moment. Meaning the register values of the user space context as it was before the user entered the kernel for whatever reason (syscall, irq, exception, or a PMI happening in userspace). The layout of the sample_regs_user bitmap is described in asm/perf_regs.h for archs that support register dump. This is going to be useful to bring Dwarf CFI based stack unwinding on top of samples.

perf: Add generic transaction flags Add a generic qualifier for transaction events, as a new sample type that returns a flag word. This is particularly useful for qualifying aborts: to distinguish aborts which happen due to asynchronous events (like conflicts caused by another CPU) versus instructions that lead to an abort. The tuning strategies are very different for those cases, so it's important to distinguish them easily and early. Since it's inconvenient and inflexible to filter for this in the kernel we report all the events out and allow some post processing in user space. The flags are based on the Intel TSX events, but should be fairly generic and mostly applicable to other HTM architectures too. In addition to various flag words there's also reserved space to report an program supplied abort code. For TSX this is used to distinguish specific classes of aborts, like a lock busy abort when doing lock elision. Flags: Elision and generic transactions (ELISION vs TRANSACTION) (HLE vs RTM on TSX; IBM etc. would likely only use TRANSACTION) Aborts caused by current thread vs aborts caused by others (SYNC vs ASYNC) Retryable transaction (RETRY) Conflicts with other threads (CONFLICT) Transaction write capacity overflow (CAPACITY WRITE) Transaction read capacity overflow (CAPACITY READ) Transactions implicitely aborted can also return an abort code. This can be used to signal specific events to the profiler. A common case is abort on lock busy in a RTM eliding library (code 0xff) To handle this case we include the TSX abort code Common example aborts in TSX would be: - Data conflict with another thread on memory read. Flags: TRANSACTION|ASYNC|CONFLICT - executing a WRMSR in a transaction. Flags: TRANSACTION|SYNC - HLE transaction in user space is too large Flags: ELISION|SYNC|CAPACITY-WRITE The only flag that is somewhat TSX specific is ELISION. This adds the perf core glue needed for reporting the new flag word out. v2: Add MEM/MISC v3: Move transaction to the end v4: Separate capacity-read/write and remove misc v5: Remove _SAMPLE. Move abort flags to 32bit.

In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

perf, events: add non-linear data support for raw records This patch adds support for non-linear data on raw records.

If a callback handler is provided for a fragment, then the new __output_custom() will be used instead of __output_copy() for the perf_output_sample() part. perf_prepare_sample() does all the size calculation only once, so perf_output_sample() doesn't need to redo the same work anymore, meaning real_size and padding will be cached in the raw record. The raw record becomes 32 bytes in size without holes; to not increase it further and to avoid doing unnecessary recalculations in fast-path, we can reuse next pointer of the last fragment, idea here is borrowed from ZERO_OR_NULL_PTR(), which should keep the perf_output_sample() path for PERF_SAMPLE_RAW minimal. This facility is needed for BPF's event output helper as a first user that will, in a follow-up, add an additional perf_raw_frag to its perf_raw_record in order to be able to more efficiently dump skb context after a linear head meta data related to it. skbs can be non-linear and thus need a custom output function to dump buffers. Currently, the skb data needs to be copied twice; with the help of __output_custom() this work only needs to be done once. Future users could be things like XDP/BPF programs that work on different context though and would thus also have a different callback function. The few users of raw records are adapted to initialize their frag data from the raw record itself, no change in behavior for them. The code is based upon a PoC diff provided by Peter Zijlstra [1].

perf_counter: PERF_SAMPLE_ID and inherited counters Anton noted that for inherited counters the counter-id as provided by PERF_SAMPLE_ID isn't mappable to the id found through PERF_RECORD_ID because each inherited counter gets its own id. His suggestion was to always return the parent counter id, since that is the primary counter id as exposed. However, these inherited counters have a unique identifier so that events like PERF_EVENT_PERIOD and PERF_EVENT_THROTTLE can be specific about which counter gets modified, which is important when trying to normalize the sample streams. This patch removes PERF_EVENT_PERIOD in favour of PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD, which is more useful anyway, since changing periods became a lot more common than initially thought -- rendering PERF_EVENT_PERIOD the less useful solution (also, PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD reports the more accurate value, since it reports the value used to trigger the overflow, whereas PERF_EVENT_PERIOD simply reports the requested period changed, which might only take effect on the next cycle). This still leaves us PERF_EVENT_THROTTLE to consider, but since that _should_ be a rare occurrence, and linking it to a primary id is the most useful bit to diagnose the problem, we introduce a PERF_SAMPLE_STREAM_ID, for those few cases where the full reconstruction is important.

perf: Add generic taken branch sampling support This patch adds the ability to sample taken branches to the perf_event interface. The ability to capture taken branches is very useful for all sorts of analysis. For instance, basic block profiling, call counts, statistical call graph. This new capability requires hardware assist and as such may not be available on all HW platforms. On Intel x86 it is implemented on top of the Last Branch Record (LBR) facility. To enable taken branches sampling, the PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK bit must be set in attr->sample_type. Sampled taken branches may be filtered by type and/or priv levels. The patch adds a new field, called branch_sample_type, to the perf_event_attr structure. It contains a bitmask of filters to apply to the sampled taken branches. Filters may be implemented in HW. If the HW filter does not exist or is not good enough, some arch may also implement a SW filter. The following generic filters are currently defined: - PERF_SAMPLE_USER only branches whose targets are at the user level - PERF_SAMPLE_KERNEL only branches whose targets are at the kernel level - PERF_SAMPLE_HV only branches whose targets are at the hypervisor level - PERF_SAMPLE_ANY any type of branches (subject to priv levels filters) - PERF_SAMPLE_ANY_CALL any call branches (may incl. syscall on some arch) - PERF_SAMPLE_ANY_RET any return branches (may incl. syscall returns on some arch) - PERF_SAMPLE_IND_CALL indirect call branches Obviously filter may be combined. The priv level bits are optional. If not provided, the priv level of the associated event are used. It is possible to collect branches at a priv level different from the associated event. Use of kernel, hv priv levels is subject to permissions and availability (hv). The number of taken branch records present in each sample may vary based on HW, the type of sampled branches, the executed code. Therefore each sample contains the number of taken branches it contains.

perf/core, x86: Add PERF_SAMPLE_PHYS_ADDR For understanding how the workload maps to memory channels and hardware behavior, it's very important to collect address maps with physical addresses. For example, 3D XPoint access can only be found by filtering the physical address. Add a new sample type for physical address. perf already has a facility to collect data virtual address. This patch introduces a function to convert the virtual address to physical address. The function is quite generic and can be extended to any architecture as long as a virtual address is provided. - For kernel direct mapping addresses, virt_to_phys is used to convert the virtual addresses to physical address. - For user virtual addresses, __get_user_pages_fast is used to walk the pages tables for user physical address. - This does not work for vmalloc addresses right now. These are not resolved, but code to do that could be added. The new sample type requires collecting the virtual address. The virtual address will not be output unless SAMPLE_ADDR is applied. For security, the physical address can only be exposed to root or privileged user.

perf/core: Add ::write_backward attribute to perf event This patch introduces 'write_backward' bit to perf_event_attr, which controls the direction of a ring buffer. After set, the corresponding ring buffer is written from end to beginning. This feature is design to support reading from overwritable ring buffer. Ring buffer can be created by mapping a perf event fd. Kernel puts event records into ring buffer, user tooling like perf fetch them from address returned by mmap(). To prevent racing between kernel and tooling, they communicate to each other through 'head' and 'tail' pointers. Kernel maintains 'head' pointer, points it to the next free area (tail of the last record). Tooling maintains 'tail' pointer, points it to the tail of last consumed record (record has already been fetched). Kernel determines the available space in a ring buffer using these two pointers to avoid overwrite unfetched records. By mapping without 'PROT_WRITE', an overwritable ring buffer is created. Different from normal ring buffer, tooling is unable to maintain 'tail' pointer because writing is forbidden. Therefore, for this type of ring buffers, kernel overwrite old records unconditionally, works like flight recorder. This feature would be useful if reading from overwritable ring buffer were as easy as reading from normal ring buffer. However, there's an obscure problem. The following figure demonstrates a full overwritable ring buffer. In this figure, the 'head' pointer points to the end of last record, and a long record 'E' is pending. For a normal ring buffer, a 'tail' pointer would have pointed to position (X), so kernel knows there's no more space in the ring buffer. However, for an overwritable ring buffer, kernel ignore the 'tail' pointer. (X) head . | . V +------+-------+----------+------+---+ |A....A|B.....B|C........C|D....D| | +------+-------+----------+------+---+ Record 'A' is overwritten by event 'E': head | V +--+---+-------+----------+------+---+ |.E|..A|B.....B|C........C|D....D|E..| +--+---+-------+----------+------+---+ Now tooling decides to read from this ring buffer. However, none of these two natural positions, 'head' and the start of this ring buffer, are pointing to the head of a record. Even the full ring buffer can be accessed by tooling, it is unable to find a position to start decoding. The first attempt tries to solve this problem AFAIK can be found from [1]. It makes kernel to maintain 'tail' pointer: updates it when ring buffer is half full. However, this approach introduces overhead to fast path. Test result shows a 1% overhead [2]. In addition, this method utilizes no more tham 50% records. Another attempt can be found from [3], which allows putting the size of an event at the end of each record. This approach allows tooling to find records in a backward manner from 'head' pointer by reading size of a record from its tail. However, because of alignment requirement, it needs 8 bytes to record the size of a record, which is a huge waste. Its performance is also not good, because more data need to be written. This approach also introduces some extra branch instructions to fast path. 'write_backward' is a better solution to this problem. Following figure demonstrates the state of the overwritable ring buffer when 'write_backward' is set before overwriting: head | V +---+------+----------+-------+------+ | |D....D|C........C|B.....B|A....A| +---+------+----------+-------+------+ and after overwriting: head | V +---+------+----------+-------+---+--+ |..E|D....D|C........C|B.....B|A..|E.| +---+------+----------+-------+---+--+ In each situation, 'head' points to the beginning of the newest record. From this record, tooling can iterate over the full ring buffer and fetch records one by one. The only limitation that needs to be considered is back-to-back reading. Due to the non-deterministic of user programs, it is impossible to ensure the ring buffer keeps stable during reading. Consider an extreme situation: tooling is scheduled out after reading record 'D', then a burst of events come, eat up the whole ring buffer (one or multiple rounds). When the tooling process comes back, reading after 'D' is incorrect now. To prevent this problem, we need to find a way to ensure the ring buffer is stable during reading. ioctl(PERF_EVENT_IOC_PAUSE_OUTPUT) is suggested because its overhead is lower than ioctl(PERF_EVENT_IOC_ENABLE). By carefully verifying 'header' pointer, reader can avoid pausing the ring-buffer. For example: /* A union of all possible events */ union perf_event event; p = head = perf_mmap__read_head(); while (true) { /* copy header of next event */ fetch(&event.header, p, sizeof(event.header)); /* read 'head' pointer */ head = perf_mmap__read_head(); /* check overwritten: is the header good? */ if (!verify(sizeof(event.header), p, head)) break; /* copy the whole event */ fetch(&event, p, event.header.size); /* read 'head' pointer again */ head = perf_mmap__read_head(); /* is the whole event good? */ if (!verify(event.header.size, p, head)) break; p += event.header.size; } However, the overhead is high because: a) In-place decoding is not safe. Copying-verifying-decoding is required. b) Fetching 'head' pointer requires additional synchronization. (From Alexei Starovoitov: Even when this trick works, pause is needed for more than stability of reading. When we collect the events into overwrite buffer we're waiting for some other trigger (like all cpu utilization spike or just one cpu running and all others are idle) and when it happens the buffer has valuable info from the past. At this point new events are no longer interesting and buffer should be paused, events read and unpaused until next trigger comes.) This patch utilizes event's default overflow_handler introduced previously. perf_event_output_backward() is created as the default overflow handler for backward ring buffers. To avoid extra overhead to fast path, original perf_event_output() becomes __perf_event_output() and marked '__always_inline'. In theory, there's no extra overhead introduced to fast path. Performance testing: Calling 3000000 times of 'close(-1)', use gettimeofday() to check duration. Use 'perf record -o /dev/null -e raw_syscalls:*' to capture system calls. In ns.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

perf/core: Add ::write_backward attribute to perf event This patch introduces 'write_backward' bit to perf_event_attr, which controls the direction of a ring buffer. After set, the corresponding ring buffer is written from end to beginning. This feature is design to support reading from overwritable ring buffer. Ring buffer can be created by mapping a perf event fd. Kernel puts event records into ring buffer, user tooling like perf fetch them from address returned by mmap(). To prevent racing between kernel and tooling, they communicate to each other through 'head' and 'tail' pointers. Kernel maintains 'head' pointer, points it to the next free area (tail of the last record). Tooling maintains 'tail' pointer, points it to the tail of last consumed record (record has already been fetched). Kernel determines the available space in a ring buffer using these two pointers to avoid overwrite unfetched records. By mapping without 'PROT_WRITE', an overwritable ring buffer is created. Different from normal ring buffer, tooling is unable to maintain 'tail' pointer because writing is forbidden. Therefore, for this type of ring buffers, kernel overwrite old records unconditionally, works like flight recorder. This feature would be useful if reading from overwritable ring buffer were as easy as reading from normal ring buffer. However, there's an obscure problem. The following figure demonstrates a full overwritable ring buffer. In this figure, the 'head' pointer points to the end of last record, and a long record 'E' is pending. For a normal ring buffer, a 'tail' pointer would have pointed to position (X), so kernel knows there's no more space in the ring buffer. However, for an overwritable ring buffer, kernel ignore the 'tail' pointer. (X) head . | . V +------+-------+----------+------+---+ |A....A|B.....B|C........C|D....D| | +------+-------+----------+------+---+ Record 'A' is overwritten by event 'E': head | V +--+---+-------+----------+------+---+ |.E|..A|B.....B|C........C|D....D|E..| +--+---+-------+----------+------+---+ Now tooling decides to read from this ring buffer. However, none of these two natural positions, 'head' and the start of this ring buffer, are pointing to the head of a record. Even the full ring buffer can be accessed by tooling, it is unable to find a position to start decoding. The first attempt tries to solve this problem AFAIK can be found from [1]. It makes kernel to maintain 'tail' pointer: updates it when ring buffer is half full. However, this approach introduces overhead to fast path. Test result shows a 1% overhead [2]. In addition, this method utilizes no more tham 50% records. Another attempt can be found from [3], which allows putting the size of an event at the end of each record. This approach allows tooling to find records in a backward manner from 'head' pointer by reading size of a record from its tail. However, because of alignment requirement, it needs 8 bytes to record the size of a record, which is a huge waste. Its performance is also not good, because more data need to be written.

A new counter sampling attribute is added: PERF_SAMPLE_TP_RECORD which requests ftrace events record sampling. In this case if a PERF_TYPE_TRACEPOINT counter is active and a tracepoint fires, we emit the tracepoint binary record to the perfcounter event buffer, as a sample.

For that we need to have an instant access to the perf counter attribute. This is a matter of a flag to add in the struct ftrace_event. - Take care of the events recursivity!

At this point new events are no longer interesting and buffer should be paused, events read and unpaused until next trigger comes.) This patch utilizes event's default overflow_handler introduced previously. perf_event_output_backward() is created as the default overflow handler for backward ring buffers. To avoid extra overhead to fast path, original perf_event_output() becomes __perf_event_output() and marked '__always_inline'. In theory, there's no extra overhead introduced to fast path. Performance testing: Calling 3000000 times of 'close(-1)', use gettimeofday() to check duration. Use 'perf record -o /dev/null -e raw_syscalls:*' to capture system calls. In ns. Testing environment: CPU : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4790 CPU @ 3.60GHz Kernel : v4.5.0 MEAN STDVAR BASE 800214.950 2853.083 PRE1 2253846.700 9997.014 PRE2 2257495.540 8516.293 POST 2250896.100 8933.921 Where 'BASE' is pure performance without capturing. 'PRE1' is test result of pure 'v4.5.0' kernel. 'PRE2' is test result before this patch. 'POST' is test result after this patch. See [4] for the detailed experimental setup. Considering the stdvar, this patch doesn't introduce performance overhead to the fast path.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events!

perf/core: Optimize side-band event delivery The perf_event_aux() function iterates all PMUs and all events in their respective per-CPU contexts to find the events to deliver side-band records to. For example, the brk test case in lkp triggers many mmap() operations, which, if we're also running perf, results in many perf_event_aux() invocations. If we enable uncore PMU support (even when uncore events are not used), dozens of uncore PMUs will be iterated, which can significantly decrease brk_test's throughput. For example, the brk throughput: without uncore PMUs: 2647573 ops_per_sec with uncore PMUs: 1768444 ops_per_sec ... a 33% reduction. To get at the per-CPU events that need side-band records, this patch puts these events on a per-CPU list, this avoids iterating the PMUs and any events that do not need side-band records. Per task events are unchanged to avoid extra overhead on the context switch paths.

For example, the brk throughput: without uncore PMUs: 2647573 ops_per_sec with uncore PMUs: 1768444 ops_per_sec ... a 33% reduction. To get at the per-CPU events that need side-band records, this patch puts these events on a per-CPU list, this avoids iterating the PMUs and any events that do not need side-band records. Per task events are unchanged to avoid extra overhead on the context switch paths.

perf/core: Introduce address range filtering Many instruction tracing PMUs out there support address range-based filtering, which would, for example, generate trace data only for a given range of instruction addresses, which is useful for tracing individual functions, modules or libraries. Other PMUs may also utilize this functionality to allow filtering to or filtering out code at certain address ranges. This patch introduces the interface for userspace to specify these filters and for the PMU drivers to apply these filters to hardware configuration. The user interface is an ASCII string that is passed via an ioctl() and specifies (in the form of an ASCII string) address ranges within certain object files or within kernel. There is no special treatment for kernel modules yet, but it might be a worthy pursuit. The PMU driver interface basically adds two extra callbacks to the PMU driver structure, one of which validates the filter configuration proposed by the user against what the hardware is actually capable of doing and the other one translates hardware-independent filter configuration into something that can be programmed into the hardware.

perf/core: Fix a race between mmap_close() and set_output() of AUX events In the mmap_close() path we need to stop all the AUX events that are writing data to the AUX area that we are unmapping, before we can safely free the pages. To determine if an event needs to be stopped, we're comparing its ->rb against the one that's getting unmapped. However, a SET_OUTPUT ioctl may turn up inside an AUX transaction and swizzle event::rb to some other ring buffer, but the transaction will keep writing data to the old ring buffer until the event gets scheduled out. At this point, mmap_close() will skip over such an event and will proceed to free the AUX area, while it's still being used by this event, which will set off a warning in the mmap_close() path and cause a memory corruption. To avoid this, always stop an AUX event before its ->rb is updated; this will release the (potentially) last reference on the AUX area of the buffer. If the event gets restarted, its new ring buffer will be used. If another SET_OUTPUT comes and switches it back to the old ring buffer that's getting unmapped, it's also fine: this ring buffer's aux_mmap_count will be zero and AUX transactions won't start any more.

If another SET_OUTPUT comes and switches it back to the old ring buffer that's getting unmapped, it's also fine: this ring buffer's aux_mmap_count will be zero and AUX transactions won't start any more.

perf/core: Introduce address range filtering Many instruction tracing PMUs out there support address range-based filtering, which would, for example, generate trace data only for a given range of instruction addresses, which is useful for tracing individual functions, modules or libraries. Other PMUs may also utilize this functionality to allow filtering to or filtering out code at certain address ranges. This patch introduces the interface for userspace to specify these filters and for the PMU drivers to apply these filters to hardware configuration. The user interface is an ASCII string that is passed via an ioctl() and specifies (in the form of an ASCII string) address ranges within certain object files or within kernel. There is no special treatment for kernel modules yet, but it might be a worthy pursuit. The PMU driver interface basically adds two extra callbacks to the PMU driver structure, one of which validates the filter configuration proposed by the user against what the hardware is actually capable of doing and the other one translates hardware-independent filter configuration into something that can be programmed into the hardware.

perf/core: Use this_cpu_ptr() when stopping AUX events When tearing down an AUX buf for an event via perf_mmap_close(), __perf_event_output_stop() is called on the event's CPU to ensure that trace generation is halted before the process of unmapping and freeing the buffer pages begins. The callback is performed via cpu_function_call(), which ensures that it runs with interrupts disabled and is therefore not preemptible. Unfortunately, the current code grabs the per-cpu context pointer using get_cpu_ptr(), which unnecessarily disables preemption and doesn't pair the call with put_cpu_ptr(), leading to a preempt_count() imbalance and a BUG when freeing the AUX buffer later on: WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 2249 at kernel/events/ring_buffer.c:539 __rb_free_aux+0x10c/0x120 Modules linked in: [...] Call Trace: [<ffffffff813379dd>] dump_stack+0x4f/0x72 [<ffffffff81059ff6>] __warn+0xc6/0xe0 [<ffffffff8105a0c8>] warn_slowpath_null+0x18/0x20 [<ffffffff8112761c>] __rb_free_aux+0x10c/0x120 [<ffffffff81128163>] rb_free_aux+0x13/0x20 [<ffffffff8112515e>] perf_mmap_close+0x29e/0x2f0 [<ffffffff8111da30>] ? perf_iterate_ctx+0xe0/0xe0 [<ffffffff8115f685>] remove_vma+0x25/0x60 [<ffffffff81161796>] exit_mmap+0x106/0x140 [<ffffffff8105725c>] mmput+0x1c/0xd0 [<ffffffff8105cac3>] do_exit+0x253/0xbf0 [<ffffffff8105e32e>] do_group_exit+0x3e/0xb0 [<ffffffff81068d49>] get_signal+0x249/0x640 [<ffffffff8101c273>] do_signal+0x23/0x640 [<ffffffff81905f42>] ? _raw_write_unlock_irq+0x12/0x30 [<ffffffff81905f69>] ? _raw_spin_unlock_irq+0x9/0x10 [<ffffffff81901896>] ? __schedule+0x2c6/0x710 [<ffffffff810022a4>] exit_to_usermode_loop+0x74/0x90 [<ffffffff81002a56>] prepare_exit_to_usermode+0x26/0x30 [<ffffffff81906d1b>] retint_user+0x8/0x10 This patch uses this_cpu_ptr() instead of get_cpu_ptr(), since preemption is already disabled by the caller.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant.

perf: Add per event clockid support While thinking on the whole clock discussion it occurred to me we have two distinct uses of time: 1) the tracking of event/ctx/cgroup enabled/running/stopped times which includes the self-monitoring support in struct perf_event_mmap_page. 2) the actual timestamps visible in the data records. And we've been conflating them. The first is all about tracking time deltas, nobody should really care in what time base that happens, its all relative information, as long as its internally consistent it works. The second however is what people are worried about when having to merge their data with external sources. And here we have the discussion on MONOTONIC vs MONOTONIC_RAW etc.. Where MONOTONIC is good for correlating between machines (static offset), MONOTNIC_RAW is required for correlating against a fixed rate hardware clock. This means configurability; now 1) makes that hard because it needs to be internally consistent across groups of unrelated events; which is why we had to have a global perf_clock(). However, for 2) it doesn't really matter, perf itself doesn't care what it writes into the buffer. The below patch makes the distinction between these two cases by adding perf_event_clock() which is used for the second case. It further makes this configurable on a per-event basis, but adds a few sanity checks such that we cannot combine events with different clocks in confusing ways. And since we then have per-event configurability we might as well retain the 'legacy' behaviour as a default.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer.

perf: Add per event clockid support While thinking on the whole clock discussion it occurred to me we have two distinct uses of time: 1) the tracking of event/ctx/cgroup enabled/running/stopped times which includes the self-monitoring support in struct perf_event_mmap_page. 2) the actual timestamps visible in the data records. And we've been conflating them. The first is all about tracking time deltas, nobody should really care in what time base that happens, its all relative information, as long as its internally consistent it works. The second however is what people are worried about when having to merge their data with external sources. And here we have the discussion on MONOTONIC vs MONOTONIC_RAW etc.. Where MONOTONIC is good for correlating between machines (static offset), MONOTNIC_RAW is required for correlating against a fixed rate hardware clock. This means configurability; now 1) makes that hard because it needs to be internally consistent across groups of unrelated events; which is why we had to have a global perf_clock(). However, for 2) it doesn't really matter, perf itself doesn't care what it writes into the buffer. The below patch makes the distinction between these two cases by adding perf_event_clock() which is used for the second case. It further makes this configurable on a per-event basis, but adds a few sanity checks such that we cannot combine events with different clocks in confusing ways. And since we then have per-event configurability we might as well retain the 'legacy' behaviour as a default.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.)

All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.)

This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window.

perf_counter: Dynamically allocate tasks' perf_counter_context struct This replaces the struct perf_counter_context in the task_struct with a pointer to a dynamically allocated perf_counter_context struct. The main reason for doing is this is to allow us to transfer a perf_counter_context from one task to another when we do lazy PMU switching in a later patch. This has a few side-benefits: the task_struct becomes a little smaller, we save some memory because only tasks that have perf_counters attached get a perf_counter_context allocated for them, and we can remove the inclusion of <linux/perf_counter.h> in sched.h, meaning that we don't end up recompiling nearly everything whenever perf_counter.h changes. The perf_counter_context structures are reference-counted and freed when the last reference is dropped. A context can have references from its task and the counters on its task. Counters can outlive the task so it is possible that a context will be freed well after its task has exited. Contexts are allocated on fork if the parent had a context, or otherwise the first time that a per-task counter is created on a task. In the latter case, we set the context pointer in the task struct locklessly using an atomic compare-and-exchange operation in case we raced with some other task in creating a context for the subject task. This also removes the task pointer from the perf_counter struct. The task pointer was not used anywhere and would make it harder to move a context from one task to another. Anything that needed to know which task a counter was attached to was already using counter->ctx->task. The __perf_counter_init_context function moves up in perf_counter.c so that it can be called from find_get_context, and now initializes the refcount, but is otherwise unchanged. We were potentially calling list_del_counter twice: once from __perf_counter_exit_task when the task exits and once from __perf_counter_remove_from_context when the counter's fd gets closed. This adds a check in list_del_counter so it doesn't do anything if the counter has already been removed from the lists. Since perf_counter_task_sched_in doesn't do anything if the task doesn't have a context, and leaves cpuctx->task_ctx = NULL, this adds code to __perf_install_in_context to set cpuctx->task_ctx if necessary, i.e. in the case where the current task adds the first counter to itself and thus creates a context for itself. This also adds similar code to __perf_counter_enable to handle a similar situation which can arise when the counters have been disabled using prctl; that also leaves cpuctx->task_ctx = NULL.

Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

perf/core: Introduce address range filtering Many instruction tracing PMUs out there support address range-based filtering, which would, for example, generate trace data only for a given range of instruction addresses, which is useful for tracing individual functions, modules or libraries. Other PMUs may also utilize this functionality to allow filtering to or filtering out code at certain address ranges. This patch introduces the interface for userspace to specify these filters and for the PMU drivers to apply these filters to hardware configuration. The user interface is an ASCII string that is passed via an ioctl() and specifies (in the form of an ASCII string) address ranges within certain object files or within kernel. There is no special treatment for kernel modules yet, but it might be a worthy pursuit. The PMU driver interface basically adds two extra callbacks to the PMU driver structure, one of which validates the filter configuration proposed by the user against what the hardware is actually capable of doing and the other one translates hardware-independent filter configuration into something that can be programmed into the hardware.

perf/core: Fix a race between mmap_close() and set_output() of AUX events In the mmap_close() path we need to stop all the AUX events that are writing data to the AUX area that we are unmapping, before we can safely free the pages. To determine if an event needs to be stopped, we're comparing its ->rb against the one that's getting unmapped. However, a SET_OUTPUT ioctl may turn up inside an AUX transaction and swizzle event::rb to some other ring buffer, but the transaction will keep writing data to the old ring buffer until the event gets scheduled out. At this point, mmap_close() will skip over such an event and will proceed to free the AUX area, while it's still being used by this event, which will set off a warning in the mmap_close() path and cause a memory corruption. To avoid this, always stop an AUX event before its ->rb is updated; this will release the (potentially) last reference on the AUX area of the buffer. If the event gets restarted, its new ring buffer will be used. If another SET_OUTPUT comes and switches it back to the old ring buffer that's getting unmapped, it's also fine: this ring buffer's aux_mmap_count will be zero and AUX transactions won't start any more.

perf/core: Update filters only on executable mmap Function perf_event_mmap() is called by the MM subsystem each time part of a binary is loaded in memory. There can be several mapping for a binary, many times unrelated to the code section. Each time a section of a binary is mapped address filters are updated, event when the map doesn't pertain to the code section. The end result is that filters are configured based on the last map event that was received rather than the last mapping of the code segment. For example if we have an executable 'main' that calls library 'libcstest.so.1.0', and that we want to collect traces on code that is in that library. The perf cmd line for this scenario would be: perf record -e cs_etm// --filter 'filter 0x72c/0x40@/opt/lib/libcstest.so.1.0' --per-thread ./main Resulting in binaries being mapped this way: root@linaro-nano:~# cat /proc/1950/maps 00400000-00401000 r-xp 00000000 08:02 33169 /home/linaro/main 00410000-00411000 r--p 00000000 08:02 33169 /home/linaro/main 00411000-00412000 rw-p 00001000 08:02 33169 /home/linaro/main 7fa2464000-7fa2474000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 7fa2474000-7fa25a4000 r-xp 00000000 08:02 543 /lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libc-2.21.so 7fa25a4000-7fa25b3000 ---p 00130000 08:02 543 /lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libc-2.21.so 7fa25b3000-7fa25b7000 r--p 0012f000 08:02 543 /lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libc-2.21.so 7fa25b7000-7fa25b9000 rw-p 00133000 08:02 543 /lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libc-2.21.so 7fa25b9000-7fa25bd000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 7fa25bd000-7fa25be000 r-xp 00000000 08:02 38308 /opt/lib/libcstest.so.1.0 7fa25be000-7fa25cd000 ---p 00001000 08:02 38308 /opt/lib/libcstest.so.1.0 7fa25cd000-7fa25ce000 r--p 00000000 08:02 38308 /opt/lib/libcstest.so.1.0 7fa25ce000-7fa25cf000 rw-p 00001000 08:02 38308 /opt/lib/libcstest.so.1.0 7fa25cf000-7fa25eb000 r-xp 00000000 08:02 574 /lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/ld-2.21.so 7fa25ef000-7fa25f2000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 7fa25f7000-7fa25f9000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 7fa25f9000-7fa25fa000 r--p 00000000 00:00 0 [vvar] 7fa25fa000-7fa25fb000 r-xp 00000000 00:00 0 [vdso] 7fa25fb000-7fa25fc000 r--p 0001c000 08:02 574 /lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/ld-2.21.so 7fa25fc000-7fa25fe000 rw-p 0001d000 08:02 574 /lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/ld-2.21.so 7ff2ea8000-7ff2ec9000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [stack] root@linaro-nano:~# Before 'main()' can execute 'libcstest.so.1.0' has to be loaded in memory.

perf/core: Introduce address range filtering Many instruction tracing PMUs out there support address range-based filtering, which would, for example, generate trace data only for a given range of instruction addresses, which is useful for tracing individual functions, modules or libraries. Other PMUs may also utilize this functionality to allow filtering to or filtering out code at certain address ranges. This patch introduces the interface for userspace to specify these filters and for the PMU drivers to apply these filters to hardware configuration. The user interface is an ASCII string that is passed via an ioctl() and specifies (in the form of an ASCII string) address ranges within certain object files or within kernel. There is no special treatment for kernel modules yet, but it might be a worthy pursuit. The PMU driver interface basically adds two extra callbacks to the PMU driver structure, one of which validates the filter configuration proposed by the user against what the hardware is actually capable of doing and the other one translates hardware-independent filter configuration into something that can be programmed into the hardware.

perf: Add PERF_RECORD_SWITCH to indicate context switches 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_counter: PERF_SAMPLE_ID and inherited counters Anton noted that for inherited counters the counter-id as provided by PERF_SAMPLE_ID isn't mappable to the id found through PERF_RECORD_ID because each inherited counter gets its own id. His suggestion was to always return the parent counter id, since that is the primary counter id as exposed. However, these inherited counters have a unique identifier so that events like PERF_EVENT_PERIOD and PERF_EVENT_THROTTLE can be specific about which counter gets modified, which is important when trying to normalize the sample streams. This patch removes PERF_EVENT_PERIOD in favour of PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD, which is more useful anyway, since changing periods became a lot more common than initially thought -- rendering PERF_EVENT_PERIOD the less useful solution (also, PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD reports the more accurate value, since it reports the value used to trigger the overflow, whereas PERF_EVENT_PERIOD simply reports the requested period changed, which might only take effect on the next cycle). This still leaves us PERF_EVENT_THROTTLE to consider, but since that _should_ be a rare occurrence, and linking it to a primary id is the most useful bit to diagnose the problem, we introduce a PERF_SAMPLE_STREAM_ID, for those few cases where the full reconstruction is important.

perf: Add per event clockid support While thinking on the whole clock discussion it occurred to me we have two distinct uses of time: 1) the tracking of event/ctx/cgroup enabled/running/stopped times which includes the self-monitoring support in struct perf_event_mmap_page. 2) the actual timestamps visible in the data records. And we've been conflating them. The first is all about tracking time deltas, nobody should really care in what time base that happens, its all relative information, as long as its internally consistent it works. The second however is what people are worried about when having to merge their data with external sources. And here we have the discussion on MONOTONIC vs MONOTONIC_RAW etc.. Where MONOTONIC is good for correlating between machines (static offset), MONOTNIC_RAW is required for correlating against a fixed rate hardware clock. This means configurability; now 1) makes that hard because it needs to be internally consistent across groups of unrelated events; which is why we had to have a global perf_clock(). However, for 2) it doesn't really matter, perf itself doesn't care what it writes into the buffer. The below patch makes the distinction between these two cases by adding perf_event_clock() which is used for the second case. It further makes this configurable on a per-event basis, but adds a few sanity checks such that we cannot combine events with different clocks in confusing ways. And since we then have per-event configurability we might as well retain the 'legacy' behaviour as a default.

perf: Add ITRACE_START record to indicate that tracing has started For counters that generate AUX data that is bound to the context of a running task, such as instruction tracing, the decoder needs to know exactly which task is running when the event is first scheduled in, before the first sched_switch.

To single out such instruction tracing pmus, this patch introduces ITRACE PMU capability. The reason this is not part of RECORD_AUX record is that not all pmus capable of generating AUX data need this, and the opposite is *probably* also true. While sched_switch covers for most cases, there are two problems with it: the consumer will need to process events out of order (that is, having found RECORD_AUX, it will have to skip forward to the nearest sched_switch to figure out which task it was, then go back to the actual trace to decode it) and it completely misses the case when the tracing is enabled and disabled before sched_switch, for example, via PERF_EVENT_IOC_DISABLE.

perf: Fix broken interrupt rate throttling This patch fixes the sampling interrupt throttling mechanism. It was broken in v3.2. Events were not being unthrottled. The unthrottling mechanism required that events be checked at each timer tick. This patch solves this problem and also separates: - unthrottling - multiplexing - frequency-mode period adjustments Not all of them need to be executed at each timer tick. This third version of the patch is based on my original patch + PeterZ proposal (https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/7/87). At each timer tick, for each context: - if the current CPU has throttled events, we unthrottle events - if context has frequency-based events, we adjust sampling periods - if we have reached the jiffies interval, we multiplex (rotate) We decoupled rotation (multiplexing) from frequency-mode sampling period adjustments. They should not necessarily happen at the same rate. Multiplexing is subject to jiffies_interval (currently at 1 but could be higher once the tunable is exposed via sysfs). We have grouped frequency-mode adjustment and unthrottling into the same routine to minimize code duplication. When throttled while in frequency mode, we scan the events only once. We have fixed the threshold enforcement code in __perf_event_overflow().

perf: Fix broken interrupt rate throttling This patch fixes the sampling interrupt throttling mechanism. It was broken in v3.2. Events were not being unthrottled. The unthrottling mechanism required that events be checked at each timer tick. This patch solves this problem and also separates: - unthrottling - multiplexing - frequency-mode period adjustments Not all of them need to be executed at each timer tick. This third version of the patch is based on my original patch + PeterZ proposal (https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/7/87). At each timer tick, for each context: - if the current CPU has throttled events, we unthrottle events - if context has frequency-based events, we adjust sampling periods - if we have reached the jiffies interval, we multiplex (rotate) We decoupled rotation (multiplexing) from frequency-mode sampling period adjustments. They should not necessarily happen at the same rate. Multiplexing is subject to jiffies_interval (currently at 1 but could be higher once the tunable is exposed via sysfs). We have grouped frequency-mode adjustment and unthrottling into the same routine to minimize code duplication. When throttled while in frequency mode, we scan the events only once. We have fixed the threshold enforcement code in __perf_event_overflow(). There was a bug whereby it would allow more than the authorized rate because an increment of hwc->interrupts was not executed at the right place. The patch was tested with low sampling limit (2000) and fixed periods, frequency mode, overcommitted PMU. On a 2.1GHz AMD CPU: $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate 2000 We set a rate of 3000 samples/sec (2.1GHz/3000 = 700000): $ perf record -e cycles,cycles -c 700000 noploop 10 $ perf report -D | tail -21 Aggregated stats: TOTAL events: 80086 MMAP events: 88 COMM events: 2 EXIT events: 4 THROTTLE events: 19996 UNTHROTTLE events: 19996 SAMPLE events: 40000 cycles stats: TOTAL events: 40006 MMAP events: 5 COMM events: 1 EXIT events: 4 THROTTLE events: 9998 UNTHROTTLE events: 9998 SAMPLE events: 20000 cycles stats: TOTAL events: 39996 THROTTLE events: 9998 UNTHROTTLE events: 9998 SAMPLE events: 20000 For 10s, the cap is 2x2000x10 = 40000 samples.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

perf: Fix double start/stop in x86_pmu_start() The following patch fixes a bug introduced by the following commit: e050e3f0a71b ("perf: Fix broken interrupt rate throttling") The patch caused the following warning to pop up depending on the sampling frequency adjustments: ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: at arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perf_event.c:995 x86_pmu_start+0x79/0xd4() It was caused by the following call sequence: perf_adjust_freq_unthr_context.part() { stop() if (delta > 0) { perf_adjust_period() { if (period > 8*...) { stop() ... start() } } } start() } Which caused a double start and a double stop, thus triggering the assert in x86_pmu_start(). The patch fixes the problem by avoiding the double calls. We pass a new argument to perf_adjust_period() to indicate whether or not the event is already stopped. We can't just remove the start/stop from that function because it's called from __perf_event_overflow where the event needs to be reloaded via a stop/start back-toback call. The patch reintroduces the assertion in x86_pmu_start() which was removed by commit: 84f2b9b ("perf: Remove deprecated WARN_ON_ONCE()") In this second version, we've added calls to disable/enable PMU during unthrottling or frequency adjustment based on bug report of spurious NMI interrupts from Eric Dumazet.

perf/x86/intel: Account interrupts for PEBS errors It's possible to set up PEBS events to get only errors and not any data, like on SNB-X (model 45) and IVB-EP (model 62) via 2 perf commands running simultaneously: taskset -c 1 ./perf record -c 4 -e branches:pp -j any -C 10 This leads to a soft lock up, because the error path of the intel_pmu_drain_pebs_nhm() does not account event->hw.interrupt for error PEBS interrupts, so in case you're getting ONLY errors you don't have a way to stop the event when it's over the max_samples_per_tick limit: NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#22 stuck for 22s!

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them.

hlist: drop the node parameter from iterators 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.

perf: Avoid horrible stack usage Both Linus (most recent) and Steve (a while ago) reported that perf related callbacks have massive stack bloat. The problem is that software events need a pt_regs in order to properly report the event location and unwind stack. And because we could not assume one was present we allocated one on stack and filled it with minimal bits required for operation. Now, pt_regs is quite large, so this is undesirable. Furthermore it turns out that most sites actually have a pt_regs pointer available, making this even more onerous, as the stack space is pointless waste. This patch addresses the problem by observing that software events have well defined nesting semantics, therefore we can use static per-cpu storage instead of on-stack. Linus made the further observation that all but the scheduler callers of perf_sw_event() have a pt_regs available, so we change the regular perf_sw_event() to require a valid pt_regs (where it used to be optional) and add perf_sw_event_sched() for the scheduler. We have a scheduler specific call instead of a more generic _noregs() like construct because we can assume non-recursion from the scheduler and thereby simplify the code further (_noregs would have to put the recursion context call inline in order to assertain which __perf_regs element to use). One last note on the implementation of perf_trace_buf_prepare(); we allow .regs = NULL for those cases where we already have a pt_regs pointer available and do not need another.

perf: Avoid horrible stack usage Both Linus (most recent) and Steve (a while ago) reported that perf related callbacks have massive stack bloat. The problem is that software events need a pt_regs in order to properly report the event location and unwind stack. And because we could not assume one was present we allocated one on stack and filled it with minimal bits required for operation. Now, pt_regs is quite large, so this is undesirable. Furthermore it turns out that most sites actually have a pt_regs pointer available, making this even more onerous, as the stack space is pointless waste. This patch addresses the problem by observing that software events have well defined nesting semantics, therefore we can use static per-cpu storage instead of on-stack. Linus made the further observation that all but the scheduler callers of perf_sw_event() have a pt_regs available, so we change the regular perf_sw_event() to require a valid pt_regs (where it used to be optional) and add perf_sw_event_sched() for the scheduler. We have a scheduler specific call instead of a more generic _noregs() like construct because we can assume non-recursion from the scheduler and thereby simplify the code further (_noregs would have to put the recursion context call inline in order to assertain which __perf_regs element to use).

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

static keys: Introduce 'struct static_key', static_key_true()/false() and static_key_slow_[inc|dec]() So here's a boot tested patch on top of Jason's series that does all the cleanups I talked about and turns jump labels into a more intuitive to use facility. It should also address the various misconceptions and confusions that surround jump labels. Typical usage scenarios: #include <linux/static_key.h> struct static_key key = STATIC_KEY_INIT_TRUE; if (static_key_false(&key)) do unlikely code else do likely code Or: if (static_key_true(&key)) do likely code else do unlikely code The static key is modified via: static_key_slow_inc(&key); ... static_key_slow_dec(&key); The 'slow' prefix makes it abundantly clear that this is an expensive operation. I've updated all in-kernel code to use this everywhere. Note that I (intentionally) have not pushed through the rename blindly through to the lowest levels: the actual jump-label patching arch facility should be named like that, so we want to decouple jump labels from the static-key facility a bit.

perf: Add per event clockid support While thinking on the whole clock discussion it occurred to me we have two distinct uses of time: 1) the tracking of event/ctx/cgroup enabled/running/stopped times which includes the self-monitoring support in struct perf_event_mmap_page. 2) the actual timestamps visible in the data records. And we've been conflating them. The first is all about tracking time deltas, nobody should really care in what time base that happens, its all relative information, as long as its internally consistent it works. The second however is what people are worried about when having to merge their data with external sources. And here we have the discussion on MONOTONIC vs MONOTONIC_RAW etc.. Where MONOTONIC is good for correlating between machines (static offset), MONOTNIC_RAW is required for correlating against a fixed rate hardware clock. This means configurability; now 1) makes that hard because it needs to be internally consistent across groups of unrelated events; which is why we had to have a global perf_clock(). However, for 2) it doesn't really matter, perf itself doesn't care what it writes into the buffer. The below patch makes the distinction between these two cases by adding perf_event_clock() which is used for the second case. It further makes this configurable on a per-event basis, but adds a few sanity checks such that we cannot combine events with different clocks in confusing ways. And since we then have per-event configurability we might as well retain the 'legacy' behaviour as a default.

perf, events: add non-linear data support for raw records This patch adds support for non-linear data on raw records. It extends raw records to have one or multiple fragments that will be written linearly into the ring slot, where each fragment can optionally have a custom callback handler to walk and extract complex, possibly non-linear data. If a callback handler is provided for a fragment, then the new __output_custom() will be used instead of __output_copy() for the perf_output_sample() part. perf_prepare_sample() does all the size calculation only once, so perf_output_sample() doesn't need to redo the same work anymore, meaning real_size and padding will be cached in the raw record. The raw record becomes 32 bytes in size without holes; to not increase it further and to avoid doing unnecessary recalculations in fast-path, we can reuse next pointer of the last fragment, idea here is borrowed from ZERO_OR_NULL_PTR(), which should keep the perf_output_sample() path for PERF_SAMPLE_RAW minimal. This facility is needed for BPF's event output helper as a first user that will, in a follow-up, add an additional perf_raw_frag to its perf_raw_record in order to be able to more efficiently dump skb context after a linear head meta data related to it. skbs can be non-linear and thus need a custom output function to dump buffers. Currently, the skb data needs to be copied twice; with the help of __output_custom() this work only needs to be done once. Future users could be things like XDP/BPF programs that work on different context though and would thus also have a different callback function. The few users of raw records are adapted to initialize their frag data from the raw record itself, no change in behavior for them. The code is based upon a PoC diff provided by Peter Zijlstra [1].

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.)

This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

bpf: generally move prog destruction to RCU deferral Jann Horn reported following analysis that could potentially result in a very hard to trigger (if not impossible) UAF race, to quote his event timeline: - Set up a process with threads T1, T2 and T3 - Let T1 set up a socket filter F1 that invokes another filter F2 through a BPF map [tail call] - Let T1 trigger the socket filter via a unix domain socket write, don't wait for completion - Let T2 call PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_BPF with F2, don't wait for completion - Now T2 should be behind bpf_prog_get(), but before bpf_prog_put() - Let T3 close the file descriptor for F2, dropping the reference count of F2 to 2 - At this point, T1 should have looked up F2 from the map, but not finished executing it - Let T3 remove F2 from the BPF map, dropping the reference count of F2 to 1 - Now T2 should call bpf_prog_put() (wrong BPF program type), dropping the reference count of F2 to 0 and scheduling bpf_prog_free_deferred() via schedule_work() - At this point, the BPF program could be freed - BPF execution is still running in a freed BPF program While at PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_BPF time it's only guaranteed that the perf event fd we're doing the syscall on doesn't disappear from underneath us for whole syscall time, it may not be the case for the bpf fd used as an argument only after we did the put. It needs to be a valid fd pointing to a BPF program at the time of the call to make the bpf_prog_get() and while T2 gets preempted, F2 must have dropped reference to 1 on the other CPU. The fput() from the close() in T3 should also add additionally delay to the reference drop via exit_task_work() when bpf_prog_release() gets called as well as scheduling bpf_prog_free_deferred(). That said, it makes nevertheless sense to move the BPF prog destruction generally after RCU grace period to guarantee that such scenario above, but also others as recently fixed in ceb56070359b ("bpf, perf: delay release of BPF prog after grace period") with regards to tail calls won't happen. Integrating bpf_prog_free_deferred() directly into the RCU callback is not allowed since the invocation might happen from either softirq or process context, so we're not permitted to block. Reviewing all bpf_prog_put() invocations from eBPF side (note, cBPF -> eBPF progs don't use this for their destruction) with call_rcu() look good to me. Since we don't know whether at the time of attaching the program, we're already part of a tail call map, we need to use RCU variant. However, due to this, there won't be severely more stress on the RCU callback queue: situations with above bpf_prog_get() and bpf_prog_put() combo in practice normally won't lead to releases, but even if they would, enough effort/ cycles have to be put into loading a BPF program into the kernel already.

tracing, perf: Implement BPF programs attached to kprobes BPF programs, attached to kprobes, provide a safe way to execute user-defined BPF byte-code programs without being able to crash or hang the kernel in any way. The BPF engine makes sure that such programs have a finite execution time and that they cannot break out of their sandbox. The user interface is to attach to a kprobe via the perf syscall: struct perf_event_attr attr = { .type = PERF_TYPE_TRACEPOINT, .config = event_id, ... }; event_fd = perf_event_open(&attr,...); ioctl(event_fd, PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_BPF, prog_fd); 'prog_fd' is a file descriptor associated with BPF program previously loaded. 'event_id' is an ID of the kprobe created. Closing 'event_fd': close(event_fd); ... automatically detaches BPF program from it. BPF programs can call in-kernel helper functions to: - lookup/update/delete elements in maps - probe_read - wraper of probe_kernel_read() used to access any kernel data structures BPF programs receive 'struct pt_regs *' as an input ('struct pt_regs' is architecture dependent) and return 0 to ignore the event and 1 to store kprobe event into the ring buffer. Note, kprobes are a fundamentally _not_ a stable kernel ABI, so BPF programs attached to kprobes must be recompiled for every kernel version and user must supply correct LINUX_VERSION_CODE in attr.kern_version during bpf_prog_load() call.

perf/core: Introduce address range filtering Many instruction tracing PMUs out there support address range-based filtering, which would, for example, generate trace data only for a given range of instruction addresses, which is useful for tracing individual functions, modules or libraries. Other PMUs may also utilize this functionality to allow filtering to or filtering out code at certain address ranges. This patch introduces the interface for userspace to specify these filters and for the PMU drivers to apply these filters to hardware configuration. The user interface is an ASCII string that is passed via an ioctl() and specifies (in the form of an ASCII string) address ranges within certain object files or within kernel. There is no special treatment for kernel modules yet, but it might be a worthy pursuit.

perf/core: Fix a race between mmap_close() and set_output() of AUX events In the mmap_close() path we need to stop all the AUX events that are writing data to the AUX area that we are unmapping, before we can safely free the pages. To determine if an event needs to be stopped, we're comparing its ->rb against the one that's getting unmapped. However, a SET_OUTPUT ioctl may turn up inside an AUX transaction and swizzle event::rb to some other ring buffer, but the transaction will keep writing data to the old ring buffer until the event gets scheduled out. At this point, mmap_close() will skip over such an event and will proceed to free the AUX area, while it's still being used by this event, which will set off a warning in the mmap_close() path and cause a memory corruption. To avoid this, always stop an AUX event before its ->rb is updated; this will release the (potentially) last reference on the AUX area of the buffer. If the event gets restarted, its new ring buffer will be used. If another SET_OUTPUT comes and switches it back to the old ring buffer that's getting unmapped, it's also fine: this ring buffer's aux_mmap_count will be zero and AUX transactions won't start any more.

perf/core: Introduce address range filtering Many instruction tracing PMUs out there support address range-based filtering, which would, for example, generate trace data only for a given range of instruction addresses, which is useful for tracing individual functions, modules or libraries. Other PMUs may also utilize this functionality to allow filtering to or filtering out code at certain address ranges. This patch introduces the interface for userspace to specify these filters and for the PMU drivers to apply these filters to hardware configuration. The user interface is an ASCII string that is passed via an ioctl() and specifies (in the form of an ASCII string) address ranges within certain object files or within kernel.

hw-breakpoints: Rewrite the hw-breakpoints layer on top of perf events This patch rebase the implementation of the breakpoints API on top of perf events instances. 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.

perf: Add per event clockid support While thinking on the whole clock discussion it occurred to me we have two distinct uses of time: 1) the tracking of event/ctx/cgroup enabled/running/stopped times which includes the self-monitoring support in struct perf_event_mmap_page. 2) the actual timestamps visible in the data records. And we've been conflating them. The first is all about tracking time deltas, nobody should really care in what time base that happens, its all relative information, as long as its internally consistent it works. The second however is what people are worried about when having to merge their data with external sources. And here we have the discussion on MONOTONIC vs MONOTONIC_RAW etc.. Where MONOTONIC is good for correlating between machines (static offset), MONOTNIC_RAW is required for correlating against a fixed rate hardware clock. This means configurability; now 1) makes that hard because it needs to be internally consistent across groups of unrelated events; which is why we had to have a global perf_clock(). However, for 2) it doesn't really matter, perf itself doesn't care what it writes into the buffer. The below patch makes the distinction between these two cases by adding perf_event_clock() which is used for the second case.

perf: Add per event clockid support While thinking on the whole clock discussion it occurred to me we have two distinct uses of time: 1) the tracking of event/ctx/cgroup enabled/running/stopped times which includes the self-monitoring support in struct perf_event_mmap_page. 2) the actual timestamps visible in the data records. And we've been conflating them. The first is all about tracking time deltas, nobody should really care in what time base that happens, its all relative information, as long as its internally consistent it works. The second however is what people are worried about when having to merge their data with external sources. And here we have the discussion on MONOTONIC vs MONOTONIC_RAW etc.. Where MONOTONIC is good for correlating between machines (static offset), MONOTNIC_RAW is required for correlating against a fixed rate hardware clock. This means configurability; now 1) makes that hard because it needs to be internally consistent across groups of unrelated events; which is why we had to have a global perf_clock(). However, for 2) it doesn't really matter, perf itself doesn't care what it writes into the buffer. The below patch makes the distinction between these two cases by adding perf_event_clock() which is used for the second case. It further makes this configurable on a per-event basis, but adds a few sanity checks such that we cannot combine events with different clocks in confusing ways. And since we then have per-event configurability we might as well retain the 'legacy' behaviour as a default.

{
perf/core: Avoid freeing static PMU contexts when PMU is unregistered Since commit: 1fd7e4169954 ("perf/core: Remove perf_cpu_context::unique_pmu") ... when a PMU is unregistered then its associated ->pmu_cpu_context is unconditionally freed. Whilst this is fine for dynamically allocated context types (i.e. those registered using perf_invalid_context), this causes a problem for sharing of static contexts such as perf_{sw,hw}_context, which are used by multiple built-in PMUs and effectively have a global lifetime. Whilst testing the ARM SPE driver, which must use perf_sw_context to support per-task AUX tracing, unregistering the driver as a result of a module unload resulted in: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000038 Internal error: Oops: 96000004 [#1] PREEMPT SMP Modules linked in: [last unloaded: arm_spe_pmu] PC is at ctx_resched+0x38/0xe8 LR is at perf_event_exec+0x20c/0x278 [...] ctx_resched+0x38/0xe8 perf_event_exec+0x20c/0x278 setup_new_exec+0x88/0x118 load_elf_binary+0x26c/0x109c search_binary_handler+0x90/0x298 do_execveat_common.isra.14+0x540/0x618 SyS_execve+0x38/0x48 since the software context has been freed and the ctx.pmu->pmu_disable_count field has been set to NULL. This patch fixes the problem by avoiding the freeing of static PMU contexts altogether. Whilst the sharing of dynamic contexts is questionable, this actually requires the caller to share their context pointer explicitly and so the burden is on them to manage the object lifetime.

hw-breakpoints: Rewrite the hw-breakpoints layer on top of perf events This patch rebase the implementation of the breakpoints API on top of perf events instances. 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>

perf/arm: Special-case hetereogeneous CPUs Commit: 26657848502b7847 ("perf/core: Verify we have a single perf_hw_context PMU") forcefully prevents multiple PMUs from sharing perf_hw_context, as this generally doesn't make sense. It is a common bug for uncore PMUs to use perf_hw_context rather than perf_invalid_context, which this detects. However, systems exist with heterogeneous CPUs (and hence heterogeneous HW PMUs), for which sharing perf_hw_context is necessary, and possible in some limited cases. To make this work we have to perform some gymnastics, as we did in these commits: 66eb579e66ecfea5 ("perf: allow for PMU-specific event filtering") c904e32a69b7c779 ("arm: perf: filter unschedulable events") To allow those systems to work, we must allow PMUs for heterogeneous CPUs to share perf_hw_context, though we must still disallow sharing otherwise to detect the common misuse of perf_hw_context. This patch adds a new PERF_PMU_CAP_HETEROGENEOUS_CPUS for this, updates the core logic to account for this, and makes use of it in the arm_pmu code that is used for systems with heterogeneous CPUs. Comments are added to make the rationale clear and hopefully avoid accidental abuse.

perf: Use hrtimers for event multiplexing The current scheme of using the timer tick was fine for per-thread events. However, it was causing bias issues in system-wide mode (including for uncore PMUs). Event groups would not get their fair share of runtime on the PMU. With tickless kernels, if a core is idle there is no timer tick, and thus no event rotation (multiplexing). However, there are events (especially uncore events) which do count even though cores are asleep. This patch changes the timer source for multiplexing. It introduces a per-PMU per-cpu hrtimer. The advantage is that even when a core goes idle, it will come back to service the hrtimer, thus multiplexing on system-wide events works much better. The per-PMU implementation (suggested by PeterZ) enables adjusting the multiplexing interval per PMU. The preferred interval is stashed into the struct pmu. If not set, it will be forced to the default interval value. In order to minimize the impact of the hrtimer, it is turned on and off on demand. When the PMU on a CPU is overcommited, the hrtimer is activated. It is stopped when the PMU is not overcommitted. In order for this to work properly, we had to change the order of initialization in start_kernel() such that hrtimer_init() is run before perf_event_init(). The default interval in milliseconds is set to a timer tick just like with the old code. We will provide a sysctl to tune this in another patch.

perf: Fix mux_interval hrtimer wreckage Thomas stumbled over the hrtimer_forward_now() in perf_event_mux_interval_ms_store() and noticed its broken-ness. 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.

perf_counters: allow users to count user, kernel and/or hypervisor events Impact: new perf_counter feature This extends the perf_counter_hw_event struct with bits that specify that events in user, kernel and/or hypervisor mode should not be counted (i.e. should be excluded), and adds code to program the PMU mode selection bits accordingly on x86 and powerpc. For software counters, we don't currently have the infrastructure to distinguish which mode an event occurs in, so we currently fail the counter initialization if the setting of the hw_event.exclude_* bits would require us to distinguish. Context switches and CPU migrations are currently considered to occur in kernel mode. On x86, this changes the previous policy that only root can count kernel events. Now non-root users can count kernel events or exclude them. Non-root users still can't use NMI events, though. On x86 we don't appear to have any way to control whether hypervisor events are counted or not, so hw_event.exclude_hv is ignored. On powerpc, the selection of whether to count events in user, kernel and/or hypervisor mode is PMU-wide, not per-counter, so this adds a check that the hw_event.exclude_* settings are the same as other events on the PMU. Counters being added to a group have to have the same settings as the other hardware counters in the group. Counters and groups can only be enabled in hw_perf_group_sched_in or power_perf_enable if they have the same settings as any other counters already on the PMU. If we are not running on a hypervisor, the exclude_hv setting is ignored (by forcing it to 0) since we can't ever get any hypervisor events. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

perf/core: Try parent PMU first when initializing a child event perf has additional overhead when monitoring the task which frequently generates child tasks. perf_init_event() is one of the hotspots for the additional overhead: Currently, to get the PMU, it tries to search the type in pmu_idr at first. But it is not always successful, especially for the widely used PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE and PERF_TYPE_HW_CACHE events. So it has to go to the slow path which go through the whole PMUs list. It will be a big performance issue, if the PMUs list is long (e.g. server with many uncore boxes) and the task frequently generates child tasks. The child event inherits its parent event. So the child event should try its parent PMU first. Here is some data from the overhead test on Broadwell server: perf record -e $TEST_EVENTS -- ./loop.sh 50000 loop.sh start=$(date +%s%N) i=0 while [ "$i" -le "$1" ] do date > /dev/null i=`expr $i + 1` done end=$(date +%s%N) elapsed=`expr $end - $start` Event# Original elapsed time Elapsed time with patch delta 1 196,573,192,397 189,162,029,998 -3.77% 2 257,567,753,013 241,620,788,683 -6.19% 4 398,730,726,971 370,518,938,714 -7.08% 8 824,983,761,120 740,702,489,329 -10.22% 16 1,883,411,923,498 1,672,027,508,355 -11.22% ... which shows a nice performance improvement.

perf/core: Optimize side-band event delivery The perf_event_aux() function iterates all PMUs and all events in their respective per-CPU contexts to find the events to deliver side-band records to. For example, the brk test case in lkp triggers many mmap() operations, which, if we're also running perf, results in many perf_event_aux() invocations. If we enable uncore PMU support (even when uncore events are not used), dozens of uncore PMUs will be iterated, which can significantly decrease brk_test's throughput. For example, the brk throughput: without uncore PMUs: 2647573 ops_per_sec with uncore PMUs: 1768444 ops_per_sec ... a 33% reduction. To get at the per-CPU events that need side-band records, this patch puts these events on a per-CPU list, this avoids iterating the PMUs and any events that do not need side-band records. Per task events are unchanged to avoid extra overhead on the context switch paths.

perf: Add PERF_RECORD_SWITCH to indicate context switches 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/core: Optimize side-band event delivery The perf_event_aux() function iterates all PMUs and all events in their respective per-CPU contexts to find the events to deliver side-band records to. For example, the brk test case in lkp triggers many mmap() operations, which, if we're also running perf, results in many perf_event_aux() invocations. If we enable uncore PMU support (even when uncore events are not used), dozens of uncore PMUs will be iterated, which can significantly decrease brk_test's throughput. For example, the brk throughput: without uncore PMUs: 2647573 ops_per_sec with uncore PMUs: 1768444 ops_per_sec ... a 33% reduction. To get at the per-CPU events that need side-band records, this patch puts these events on a per-CPU list, this avoids iterating the PMUs and any events that do not need side-band records.

perf_counter: make it possible for hw_perf_counter_init to return error codes Impact: better error reporting At present, if hw_perf_counter_init encounters an error, all it can do is return NULL, which causes sys_perf_counter_open to return an EINVAL error to userspace. This isn't very informative for userspace; it means that userspace can't tell the difference between "sorry, oprofile is already using the PMU" and "we don't support this CPU" and "this CPU doesn't support the requested generic hardware event". This commit uses the PTR_ERR/ERR_PTR/IS_ERR set of macros to let hw_perf_counter_init return an error code on error rather than just NULL if it wishes. If it does so, that error code will be returned from sys_perf_counter_open to userspace. If it returns NULL, an EINVAL error will be returned to userspace, as before. This also adapts the powerpc hw_perf_counter_init to make use of this to return ENXIO, EINVAL, EBUSY, or EOPNOTSUPP as appropriate. It would be good to add extra error numbers in future to allow userspace to distinguish the various errors that are currently reported as EINVAL, i.e. irq_period < 0, too many events in a group, conflict between exclude_* settings in a group, and PMU resource conflict in a group.

perf: Fix loss of notification with multi-event When you do: $ perf record -e cycles,cycles,cycles noploop 10 You expect about 10,000 samples for each event, i.e., 10s at 1000samples/sec. However, this is not what's happening. You get much fewer samples, maybe 3700 samples/event: $ perf report -D | tail -15 Aggregated stats: TOTAL events: 10998 MMAP events: 66 COMM events: 2 SAMPLE events: 10930 cycles stats: TOTAL events: 3644 SAMPLE events: 3644 cycles stats: TOTAL events: 3642 SAMPLE events: 3642 cycles stats: TOTAL events: 3644 SAMPLE events: 3644 On a Intel Nehalem or even AMD64, there are 4 counters capable of measuring cycles, so there is plenty of space to measure those events without multiplexing (even with the NMI watchdog active). And even with multiplexing, we'd expect roughly the same number of samples per event. The root of the problem was that when the event that caused the buffer to become full was not the first event passed on the cmdline, the user notification would get lost. The notification was sent to the file descriptor of the overflowed event but the perf tool was not polling on it. The perf tool aggregates all samples into a single buffer, i.e., the buffer of the first event. Consequently, it assumes notifications for any event will come via that descriptor. The seemingly straight forward solution of moving the waitq into the ringbuffer object doesn't work because of life-time issues. One could perf_event_set_output() on a fd that you're also blocking on and cause the old rb object to be freed while its waitq would still be referenced by the blocked thread -> FAIL. Therefore link all events to the ringbuffer and broadcast the wakeup from the ringbuffer object to all possible events that could be waited upon. This is rather ugly, and we're open to better solutions but it works for now.

perf/core: Introduce address range filtering Many instruction tracing PMUs out there support address range-based filtering, which would, for example, generate trace data only for a given range of instruction addresses, which is useful for tracing individual functions, modules or libraries. Other PMUs may also utilize this functionality to allow filtering to or filtering out code at certain address ranges. This patch introduces the interface for userspace to specify these filters and for the PMU drivers to apply these filters to hardware configuration. The user interface is an ASCII string that is passed via an ioctl() and specifies (in the form of an ASCII string) address ranges within certain object files or within kernel. There is no special treatment for kernel modules yet, but it might be a worthy pursuit. The PMU driver interface basically adds two extra callbacks to the PMU driver structure, one of which validates the filter configuration proposed by the user against what the hardware is actually capable of doing and the other one translates hardware-independent filter configuration into something that can be programmed into the hardware.

perf: Add per event clockid support While thinking on the whole clock discussion it occurred to me we have two distinct uses of time: 1) the tracking of event/ctx/cgroup enabled/running/stopped times which includes the self-monitoring support in struct perf_event_mmap_page. 2) the actual timestamps visible in the data records. And we've been conflating them. The first is all about tracking time deltas, nobody should really care in what time base that happens, its all relative information, as long as its internally consistent it works. The second however is what people are worried about when having to merge their data with external sources. And here we have the discussion on MONOTONIC vs MONOTONIC_RAW etc.. Where MONOTONIC is good for correlating between machines (static offset), MONOTNIC_RAW is required for correlating against a fixed rate hardware clock. This means configurability; now 1) makes that hard because it needs to be internally consistent across groups of unrelated events; which is why we had to have a global perf_clock(). However, for 2) it doesn't really matter, perf itself doesn't care what it writes into the buffer. The below patch makes the distinction between these two cases by adding perf_event_clock() which is used for the second case. It further makes this configurable on a per-event basis, but adds a few sanity checks such that we cannot combine events with different clocks in confusing ways. And since we then have per-event configurability we might as well retain the 'legacy' behaviour as a default.

perf/core: Set event's default ::overflow_handler() Set a default event->overflow_handler in perf_event_alloc() so don't need to check event->overflow_handler in __perf_event_overflow(). Following commits can give a different default overflow_handler. Initial idea comes from Peter: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20130708121557.GA17211@twins.programming.kicks-ass.net Since the default value of event->overflow_handler is not NULL, existing 'if (!overflow_handler)' checks need to be changed. is_default_overflow_handler() is introduced for this. No extra performance overhead is introduced into the hot path because in the original code we still need to read this handler from memory. A conditional branch is avoided so actually we remove some instructions.

perf/core: Add ::write_backward attribute to perf event This patch introduces 'write_backward' bit to perf_event_attr, which controls the direction of a ring buffer. After set, the corresponding ring buffer is written from end to beginning. This feature is design to support reading from overwritable ring buffer. Ring buffer can be created by mapping a perf event fd. Kernel puts event records into ring buffer, user tooling like perf fetch them from address returned by mmap(). To prevent racing between kernel and tooling, they communicate to each other through 'head' and 'tail' pointers. Kernel maintains 'head' pointer, points it to the next free area (tail of the last record). Tooling maintains 'tail' pointer, points it to the tail of last consumed record (record has already been fetched). Kernel determines the available space in a ring buffer using these two pointers to avoid overwrite unfetched records. By mapping without 'PROT_WRITE', an overwritable ring buffer is created. Different from normal ring buffer, tooling is unable to maintain 'tail' pointer because writing is forbidden. Therefore, for this type of ring buffers, kernel overwrite old records unconditionally, works like flight recorder. This feature would be useful if reading from overwritable ring buffer were as easy as reading from normal ring buffer. However, there's an obscure problem. The following figure demonstrates a full overwritable ring buffer. In this figure, the 'head' pointer points to the end of last record, and a long record 'E' is pending. For a normal ring buffer, a 'tail' pointer would have pointed to position (X), so kernel knows there's no more space in the ring buffer. However, for an overwritable ring buffer, kernel ignore the 'tail' pointer. (X) head . | . V +------+-------+----------+------+---+ |A....A|B.....B|C........C|D....D| | +------+-------+----------+------+---+ Record 'A' is overwritten by event 'E': head | V +--+---+-------+----------+------+---+ |.E|..A|B.....B|C........C|D....D|E..| +--+---+-------+----------+------+---+ Now tooling decides to read from this ring buffer. However, none of these two natural positions, 'head' and the start of this ring buffer, are pointing to the head of a record. Even the full ring buffer can be accessed by tooling, it is unable to find a position to start decoding. The first attempt tries to solve this problem AFAIK can be found from [1]. It makes kernel to maintain 'tail' pointer: updates it when ring buffer is half full. However, this approach introduces overhead to fast path. Test result shows a 1% overhead [2]. In addition, this method utilizes no more tham 50% records. Another attempt can be found from [3], which allows putting the size of an event at the end of each record. This approach allows tooling to find records in a backward manner from 'head' pointer by reading size of a record from its tail. However, because of alignment requirement, it needs 8 bytes to record the size of a record, which is a huge waste. Its performance is also not good, because more data need to be written. This approach also introduces some extra branch instructions to fast path. 'write_backward' is a better solution to this problem. Following figure demonstrates the state of the overwritable ring buffer when 'write_backward' is set before overwriting: head | V +---+------+----------+-------+------+ | |D....D|C........C|B.....B|A....A| +---+------+----------+-------+------+ and after overwriting: head | V +---+------+----------+-------+---+--+ |..E|D....D|C........C|B.....B|A..|E.| +---+------+----------+-------+---+--+ In each situation, 'head' points to the beginning of the newest record. From this record, tooling can iterate over the full ring buffer and fetch records one by one. The only limitation that needs to be considered is back-to-back reading. Due to the non-deterministic of user programs, it is impossible to ensure the ring buffer keeps stable during reading. Consider an extreme situation: tooling is scheduled out after reading record 'D', then a burst of events come, eat up the whole ring buffer (one or multiple rounds). When the tooling process comes back, reading after 'D' is incorrect now. To prevent this problem, we need to find a way to ensure the ring buffer is stable during reading. ioctl(PERF_EVENT_IOC_PAUSE_OUTPUT) is suggested because its overhead is lower than ioctl(PERF_EVENT_IOC_ENABLE). By carefully verifying 'header' pointer, reader can avoid pausing the ring-buffer. For example: /* A union of all possible events */ union perf_event event; p = head = perf_mmap__read_head(); while (true) { /* copy header of next event */ fetch(&event.header, p, sizeof(event.header)); /* read 'head' pointer */ head = perf_mmap__read_head(); /* check overwritten: is the header good? */ if (!verify(sizeof(event.header), p, head)) break; /* copy the whole event */ fetch(&event, p, event.header.size); /* read 'head' pointer again */ head = perf_mmap__read_head(); /* is the whole event good? */ if (!verify(event.header.size, p, head)) break; p += event.header.size; } However, the overhead is high because: a) In-place decoding is not safe. Copying-verifying-decoding is required. b) Fetching 'head' pointer requires additional synchronization. (From Alexei Starovoitov: Even when this trick works, pause is needed for more than stability of reading. When we collect the events into overwrite buffer we're waiting for some other trigger (like all cpu utilization spike or just one cpu running and all others are idle) and when it happens the buffer has valuable info from the past. At this point new events are no longer interesting and buffer should be paused, events read and unpaused until next trigger comes.) This patch utilizes event's default overflow_handler introduced previously. perf_event_output_backward() is created as the default overflow handler for backward ring buffers. To avoid extra overhead to fast path, original perf_event_output() becomes __perf_event_output() and marked '__always_inline'. In theory, there's no extra overhead introduced to fast path.

perf/core: Add ::write_backward attribute to perf event This patch introduces 'write_backward' bit to perf_event_attr, which controls the direction of a ring buffer. After set, the corresponding ring buffer is written from end to beginning. This feature is design to support reading from overwritable ring buffer. Ring buffer can be created by mapping a perf event fd. Kernel puts event records into ring buffer, user tooling like perf fetch them from address returned by mmap(). To prevent racing between kernel and tooling, they communicate to each other through 'head' and 'tail' pointers. Kernel maintains 'head' pointer, points it to the next free area (tail of the last record). Tooling maintains 'tail' pointer, points it to the tail of last consumed record (record has already been fetched). Kernel determines the available space in a ring buffer using these two pointers to avoid overwrite unfetched records. By mapping without 'PROT_WRITE', an overwritable ring buffer is created. Different from normal ring buffer, tooling is unable to maintain 'tail' pointer because writing is forbidden. Therefore, for this type of ring buffers, kernel overwrite old records unconditionally, works like flight recorder. This feature would be useful if reading from overwritable ring buffer were as easy as reading from normal ring buffer. However, there's an obscure problem. The following figure demonstrates a full overwritable ring buffer. In this figure, the 'head' pointer points to the end of last record, and a long record 'E' is pending. For a normal ring buffer, a 'tail' pointer would have pointed to position (X), so kernel knows there's no more space in the ring buffer. However, for an overwritable ring buffer, kernel ignore the 'tail' pointer. (X) head . | . V +------+-------+----------+------+---+ |A....A|B.....B|C........C|D....D| | +------+-------+----------+------+---+ Record 'A' is overwritten by event 'E': head | V +--+---+-------+----------+------+---+ |.E|..A|B.....B|C........C|D....D|E..| +--+---+-------+----------+------+---+ Now tooling decides to read from this ring buffer. However, none of these two natural positions, 'head' and the start of this ring buffer, are pointing to the head of a record. Even the full ring buffer can be accessed by tooling, it is unable to find a position to start decoding. The first attempt tries to solve this problem AFAIK can be found from [1]. It makes kernel to maintain 'tail' pointer: updates it when ring buffer is half full. However, this approach introduces overhead to fast path. Test result shows a 1% overhead [2]. In addition, this method utilizes no more tham 50% records. Another attempt can be found from [3], which allows putting the size of an event at the end of each record. This approach allows tooling to find records in a backward manner from 'head' pointer by reading size of a record from its tail. However, because of alignment requirement, it needs 8 bytes to record the size of a record, which is a huge waste. Its performance is also not good, because more data need to be written. This approach also introduces some extra branch instructions to fast path. 'write_backward' is a better solution to this problem. Following figure demonstrates the state of the overwritable ring buffer when 'write_backward' is set before overwriting: head | V +---+------+----------+-------+------+ | |D....D|C........C|B.....B|A....A| +---+------+----------+-------+------+ and after overwriting: head | V +---+------+----------+-------+---+--+ |..E|D....D|C........C|B.....B|A..|E.| +---+------+----------+-------+---+--+ In each situation, 'head' points to the beginning of the newest record. From this record, tooling can iterate over the full ring buffer and fetch records one by one. The only limitation that needs to be considered is back-to-back reading. Due to the non-deterministic of user programs, it is impossible to ensure the ring buffer keeps stable during reading. Consider an extreme situation: tooling is scheduled out after reading record 'D', then a burst of events come, eat up the whole ring buffer (one or multiple rounds). When the tooling process comes back, reading after 'D' is incorrect now. To prevent this problem, we need to find a way to ensure the ring buffer is stable during reading. ioctl(PERF_EVENT_IOC_PAUSE_OUTPUT) is suggested because its overhead is lower than ioctl(PERF_EVENT_IOC_ENABLE). By carefully verifying 'header' pointer, reader can avoid pausing the ring-buffer. For example: /* A union of all possible events */ union perf_event event; p = head = perf_mmap__read_head(); while (true) { /* copy header of next event */ fetch(&event.header, p, sizeof(event.header)); /* read 'head' pointer */ head = perf_mmap__read_head(); /* check overwritten: is the header good? */ if (!verify(sizeof(event.header), p, head)) break; /* copy the whole event */ fetch(&event, p, event.header.size); /* read 'head' pointer again */ head = perf_mmap__read_head(); /* is the whole event good? */ if (!verify(event.header.size, p, head)) break; p += event.header.size; } However, the overhead is high because: a) In-place decoding is not safe. Copying-verifying-decoding is required. b) Fetching 'head' pointer requires additional synchronization. (From Alexei Starovoitov: Even when this trick works, pause is needed for more than stability of reading. When we collect the events into overwrite buffer we're waiting for some other trigger (like all cpu utilization spike or just one cpu running and all others are idle) and when it happens the buffer has valuable info from the past. At this point new events are no longer interesting and buffer should be paused, events read and unpaused until next trigger comes.) This patch utilizes event's default overflow_handler introduced previously. perf_event_output_backward() is created as the default overflow handler for backward ring buffers. To avoid extra overhead to fast path, original perf_event_output() becomes __perf_event_output() and marked '__always_inline'. In theory, there's no extra overhead introduced to fast path. Performance testing: Calling 3000000 times of 'close(-1)', use gettimeofday() to check duration. Use 'perf record -o /dev/null -e raw_syscalls:*' to capture system calls. In ns.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

perf_counter: Fix /0 bug in swcounters We have a race in the swcounter stuff where we can start counting a counter that has never been enabled, this leads to a /0 situation. The below avoids the /0 but doesn't close the race, this would need a new counter state.

perf_counter: make it possible for hw_perf_counter_init to return error codes Impact: better error reporting At present, if hw_perf_counter_init encounters an error, all it can do is return NULL, which causes sys_perf_counter_open to return an EINVAL error to userspace. This isn't very informative for userspace; it means that userspace can't tell the difference between "sorry, oprofile is already using the PMU" and "we don't support this CPU" and "this CPU doesn't support the requested generic hardware event". This commit uses the PTR_ERR/ERR_PTR/IS_ERR set of macros to let hw_perf_counter_init return an error code on error rather than just NULL if it wishes. If it does so, that error code will be returned from sys_perf_counter_open to userspace. If it returns NULL, an EINVAL error will be returned to userspace, as before. This also adapts the powerpc hw_perf_counter_init to make use of this to return ENXIO, EINVAL, EBUSY, or EOPNOTSUPP as appropriate. It would be good to add extra error numbers in future to allow userspace to distinguish the various errors that are currently reported as EINVAL, i.e. irq_period < 0, too many events in a group, conflict between exclude_* settings in a group, and PMU resource conflict in a group.

perf/core: Introduce address range filtering Many instruction tracing PMUs out there support address range-based filtering, which would, for example, generate trace data only for a given range of instruction addresses, which is useful for tracing individual functions, modules or libraries. Other PMUs may also utilize this functionality to allow filtering to or filtering out code at certain address ranges. This patch introduces the interface for userspace to specify these filters and for the PMU drivers to apply these filters to hardware configuration. The user interface is an ASCII string that is passed via an ioctl() and specifies (in the form of an ASCII string) address ranges within certain object files or within kernel. There is no special treatment for kernel modules yet, but it might be a worthy pursuit. The PMU driver interface basically adds two extra callbacks to the PMU driver structure, one of which validates the filter configuration proposed by the user against what the hardware is actually capable of doing and the other one translates hardware-independent filter configuration into something that can be programmed into the hardware.

perf/core: Introduce address range filtering Many instruction tracing PMUs out there support address range-based filtering, which would, for example, generate trace data only for a given range of instruction addresses, which is useful for tracing individual functions, modules or libraries. Other PMUs may also utilize this functionality to allow filtering to or filtering out code at certain address ranges. This patch introduces the interface for userspace to specify these filters and for the PMU drivers to apply these filters to hardware configuration. The user interface is an ASCII string that is passed via an ioctl() and specifies (in the form of an ASCII string) address ranges within certain object files or within kernel. There is no special treatment for kernel modules yet, but it might be a worthy pursuit. The PMU driver interface basically adds two extra callbacks to the PMU driver structure, one of which validates the filter configuration proposed by the user against what the hardware is actually capable of doing and the other one translates hardware-independent filter configuration into something that can be programmed into the hardware.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

perf/core: Fix potential double-fetch bug While examining the kernel source code, I found a dangerous operation that could turn into a double-fetch situation (a race condition bug) where the same userspace memory region are fetched twice into kernel with sanity checks after the first fetch while missing checks after the second fetch. 1. The first fetch happens in line 9573 get_user(size, &uattr->size). 2. Subsequently the 'size' variable undergoes a few sanity checks and transformations (line 9577 to 9584). 3. The second fetch happens in line 9610 copy_from_user(attr, uattr, size) 4. Given that 'uattr' can be fully controlled in userspace, an attacker can race condition to override 'uattr->size' to arbitrary value (say, 0xFFFFFFFF) after the first fetch but before the second fetch. The changed value will be copied to 'attr->size'. 5. There is no further checks on 'attr->size' until the end of this function, and once the function returns, we lose the context to verify that 'attr->size' conforms to the sanity checks performed in step 2 (line 9577 to 9584). 6. My manual analysis shows that 'attr->size' is not used elsewhere later, so, there is no working exploit against it right now. However, this could easily turns to an exploitable one if careless developers start to use 'attr->size' later. To fix this, override 'attr->size' from the second fetch to the one from the first fetch, regardless of what is actually copied in. In this way, it is assured that 'attr->size' is consistent with the checks performed after the first fetch.

perf: Add generic taken branch sampling support This patch adds the ability to sample taken branches to the perf_event interface. The ability to capture taken branches is very useful for all sorts of analysis. For instance, basic block profiling, call counts, statistical call graph. This new capability requires hardware assist and as such may not be available on all HW platforms. On Intel x86 it is implemented on top of the Last Branch Record (LBR) facility. To enable taken branches sampling, the PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK bit must be set in attr->sample_type. Sampled taken branches may be filtered by type and/or priv levels. The patch adds a new field, called branch_sample_type, to the perf_event_attr structure. It contains a bitmask of filters to apply to the sampled taken branches. Filters may be implemented in HW. If the HW filter does not exist or is not good enough, some arch may also implement a SW filter. The following generic filters are currently defined: - PERF_SAMPLE_USER only branches whose targets are at the user level - PERF_SAMPLE_KERNEL only branches whose targets are at the kernel level - PERF_SAMPLE_HV only branches whose targets are at the hypervisor level - PERF_SAMPLE_ANY any type of branches (subject to priv levels filters) - PERF_SAMPLE_ANY_CALL any call branches (may incl. syscall on some arch) - PERF_SAMPLE_ANY_RET any return branches (may incl. syscall returns on some arch) - PERF_SAMPLE_IND_CALL indirect call branches Obviously filter may be combined. The priv level bits are optional. If not provided, the priv level of the associated event are used. It is possible to collect branches at a priv level different from the associated event. Use of kernel, hv priv levels is subject to permissions and availability (hv). The number of taken branch records present in each sample may vary based on HW, the type of sampled branches, the executed code. Therefore each sample contains the number of taken branches it contains.

perf: Add ability to attach user level registers dump to sample Introducing PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_USER sample type bit to trigger the dump of user level registers on sample. Registers we want to dump are specified by sample_regs_user bitmask. Only user level registers are dumped at the moment.

perf: Fix a race between ring_buffer_detach() and ring_buffer_attach() Alexander noticed that we use RCU iteration on rb->event_list but do not use list_{add,del}_rcu() to add,remove entries to that list, nor do we observe proper grace periods when re-using the entries. Merge ring_buffer_detach() into ring_buffer_attach() such that attaching to the NULL buffer is detaching. Furthermore, ensure that between any 'detach' and 'attach' of the same event we observe the required grace period, but only when strictly required. In effect this means that only ioctl(.request = PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT) will wait for a grace period, while the normal initial attach and final detach will not be delayed. This patch should, I think, do the right thing under all circumstances, the 'normal' cases all should never see the extra grace period, but the two cases: 1) PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT on an event which already has a ring_buffer set, will now observe the required grace period between removing itself from the old and attaching itself to the new buffer. This case is 'simple' in that both buffers are present in perf_event_set_output() one could think an unconditional synchronize_rcu() would be sufficient; however... 2) an event that has a buffer attached, the buffer is destroyed (munmap) and then the event is attached to a new/different buffer using PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT. This case is more complex because the buffer destruction does: ring_buffer_attach(.rb = NULL) followed by the ioctl() doing: ring_buffer_attach(.rb = foo); and we still need to observe the grace period between these two calls due to us reusing the event->rb_entry list_head. In order to make 2 happen we use Paul's latest cond_synchronize_rcu() call.

perf: Add per event clockid support While thinking on the whole clock discussion it occurred to me we have two distinct uses of time: 1) the tracking of event/ctx/cgroup enabled/running/stopped times which includes the self-monitoring support in struct perf_event_mmap_page. 2) the actual timestamps visible in the data records. And we've been conflating them. The first is all about tracking time deltas, nobody should really care in what time base that happens, its all relative information, as long as its internally consistent it works. The second however is what people are worried about when having to merge their data with external sources. And here we have the discussion on MONOTONIC vs MONOTONIC_RAW etc.. Where MONOTONIC is good for correlating between machines (static offset), MONOTNIC_RAW is required for correlating against a fixed rate hardware clock. This means configurability; now 1) makes that hard because it needs to be internally consistent across groups of unrelated events; which is why we had to have a global perf_clock(). However, for 2) it doesn't really matter, perf itself doesn't care what it writes into the buffer. The below patch makes the distinction between these two cases by adding perf_event_clock() which is used for the second case. It further makes this configurable on a per-event basis, but adds a few sanity checks such that we cannot combine events with different clocks in confusing ways. And since we then have per-event configurability we might as well retain the 'legacy' behaviour as a default.

perf/core: Add ::write_backward attribute to perf event This patch introduces 'write_backward' bit to perf_event_attr, which controls the direction of a ring buffer. After set, the corresponding ring buffer is written from end to beginning. This feature is design to support reading from overwritable ring buffer. Ring buffer can be created by mapping a perf event fd. Kernel puts event records into ring buffer, user tooling like perf fetch them from address returned by mmap(). To prevent racing between kernel and tooling, they communicate to each other through 'head' and 'tail' pointers. Kernel maintains 'head' pointer, points it to the next free area (tail of the last record). Tooling maintains 'tail' pointer, points it to the tail of last consumed record (record has already been fetched). Kernel determines the available space in a ring buffer using these two pointers to avoid overwrite unfetched records. By mapping without 'PROT_WRITE', an overwritable ring buffer is created. Different from normal ring buffer, tooling is unable to maintain 'tail' pointer because writing is forbidden. Therefore, for this type of ring buffers, kernel overwrite old records unconditionally, works like flight recorder. This feature would be useful if reading from overwritable ring buffer were as easy as reading from normal ring buffer. However, there's an obscure problem. The following figure demonstrates a full overwritable ring buffer. In this figure, the 'head' pointer points to the end of last record, and a long record 'E' is pending. For a normal ring buffer, a 'tail' pointer would have pointed to position (X), so kernel knows there's no more space in the ring buffer. However, for an overwritable ring buffer, kernel ignore the 'tail' pointer. (X) head . | . V +------+-------+----------+------+---+ |A....A|B.....B|C........C|D....D| | +------+-------+----------+------+---+ Record 'A' is overwritten by event 'E': head | V +--+---+-------+----------+------+---+ |.E|..A|B.....B|C........C|D....D|E..| +--+---+-------+----------+------+---+ Now tooling decides to read from this ring buffer. However, none of these two natural positions, 'head' and the start of this ring buffer, are pointing to the head of a record. Even the full ring buffer can be accessed by tooling, it is unable to find a position to start decoding. The first attempt tries to solve this problem AFAIK can be found from [1]. It makes kernel to maintain 'tail' pointer: updates it when ring buffer is half full. However, this approach introduces overhead to fast path. Test result shows a 1% overhead [2]. In addition, this method utilizes no more tham 50% records. Another attempt can be found from [3], which allows putting the size of an event at the end of each record. This approach allows tooling to find records in a backward manner from 'head' pointer by reading size of a record from its tail. However, because of alignment requirement, it needs 8 bytes to record the size of a record, which is a huge waste. Its performance is also not good, because more data need to be written. This approach also introduces some extra branch instructions to fast path. 'write_backward' is a better solution to this problem. Following figure demonstrates the state of the overwritable ring buffer when 'write_backward' is set before overwriting: head | V +---+------+----------+-------+------+ | |D....D|C........C|B.....B|A....A| +---+------+----------+-------+------+ and after overwriting: head | V +---+------+----------+-------+---+--+ |..E|D....D|C........C|B.....B|A..|E.| +---+------+----------+-------+---+--+ In each situation, 'head' points to the beginning of the newest record. From this record, tooling can iterate over the full ring buffer and fetch records one by one. The only limitation that needs to be considered is back-to-back reading. Due to the non-deterministic of user programs, it is impossible to ensure the ring buffer keeps stable during reading. Consider an extreme situation: tooling is scheduled out after reading record 'D', then a burst of events come, eat up the whole ring buffer (one or multiple rounds). When the tooling process comes back, reading after 'D' is incorrect now. To prevent this problem, we need to find a way to ensure the ring buffer is stable during reading. ioctl(PERF_EVENT_IOC_PAUSE_OUTPUT) is suggested because its overhead is lower than ioctl(PERF_EVENT_IOC_ENABLE). By carefully verifying 'header' pointer, reader can avoid pausing the ring-buffer. For example: /* A union of all possible events */ union perf_event event; p = head = perf_mmap__read_head(); while (true) { /* copy header of next event */ fetch(&event.header, p, sizeof(event.header)); /* read 'head' pointer */ head = perf_mmap__read_head(); /* check overwritten: is the header good? */ if (!verify(sizeof(event.header), p, head)) break; /* copy the whole event */ fetch(&event, p, event.header.size); /* read 'head' pointer again */ head = perf_mmap__read_head(); /* is the whole event good? */ if (!verify(event.header.size, p, head)) break; p += event.header.size; } However, the overhead is high because: a) In-place decoding is not safe. Copying-verifying-decoding is required. b) Fetching 'head' pointer requires additional synchronization. (From Alexei Starovoitov: Even when this trick works, pause is needed for more than stability of reading. When we collect the events into overwrite buffer we're waiting for some other trigger (like all cpu utilization spike or just one cpu running and all others are idle) and when it happens the buffer has valuable info from the past. At this point new events are no longer interesting and buffer should be paused, events read and unpaused until next trigger comes.) This patch utilizes event's default overflow_handler introduced previously. perf_event_output_backward() is created as the default overflow handler for backward ring buffers. To avoid extra overhead to fast path, original perf_event_output() becomes __perf_event_output() and marked '__always_inline'. In theory, there's no extra overhead introduced to fast path. Performance testing: Calling 3000000 times of 'close(-1)', use gettimeofday() to check duration. Use 'perf record -o /dev/null -e raw_syscalls:*' to capture system calls. In ns.

perf: Add AUX area to ring buffer for raw data streams This patch introduces "AUX space" in the perf mmap buffer, intended for exporting high bandwidth data streams to userspace, such as instruction flow traces. AUX space is a ring buffer, defined by aux_{offset,size} fields in the user_page structure, and read/write pointers aux_{head,tail}, which abide by the same rules as data_* counterparts of the main perf buffer. In order to allocate/mmap AUX, userspace needs to set up aux_offset to such an offset that will be greater than data_offset+data_size and aux_size to be the desired buffer size. Both need to be page aligned. Then, same aux_offset and aux_size should be passed to mmap() call and if everything adds up, you should have an AUX buffer as a result. Pages that are mapped into this buffer also come out of user's mlock rlimit plus perf_event_mlock_kb allowance.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

perf: Add per event clockid support While thinking on the whole clock discussion it occurred to me we have two distinct uses of time: 1) the tracking of event/ctx/cgroup enabled/running/stopped times which includes the self-monitoring support in struct perf_event_mmap_page. 2) the actual timestamps visible in the data records. And we've been conflating them. The first is all about tracking time deltas, nobody should really care in what time base that happens, its all relative information, as long as its internally consistent it works. The second however is what people are worried about when having to merge their data with external sources. And here we have the discussion on MONOTONIC vs MONOTONIC_RAW etc.. Where MONOTONIC is good for correlating between machines (static offset), MONOTNIC_RAW is required for correlating against a fixed rate hardware clock. This means configurability; now 1) makes that hard because it needs to be internally consistent across groups of unrelated events; which is why we had to have a global perf_clock(). However, for 2) it doesn't really matter, perf itself doesn't care what it writes into the buffer. The below patch makes the distinction between these two cases by adding perf_event_clock() which is used for the second case. It further makes this configurable on a per-event basis, but adds a few sanity checks such that we cannot combine events with different clocks in confusing ways. And since we then have per-event configurability we might as well retain the 'legacy' behaviour as a default.

perf/core: Fix concurrent sys_perf_event_open() vs. 'move_group' race Di Shen reported a race between two concurrent sys_perf_event_open() calls where both try and move the same pre-existing software group into a hardware context. The problem is exactly that described in commit: f63a8daa5812 ("perf: Fix event->ctx locking") ... where, while we wait for a ctx->mutex acquisition, the event->ctx relation can have changed under us. That very same commit failed to recognise sys_perf_event_context() as an external access vector to the events and thereby didn't apply the established locking rules correctly. So while one sys_perf_event_open() call is stuck waiting on mutex_lock_double(), the other (which owns said locks) moves the group about. So by the time the former sys_perf_event_open() acquires the locks, the context we've acquired is stale (and possibly dead). Apply the established locking rules as per perf_event_ctx_lock_nested() to the mutex_lock_double() for the 'move_group' case. This obviously means we need to validate state after we acquire the locks.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

perf: Introduce a flag to enable close-on-exec in perf_event_open() Unlike recent modern userspace API such as: epoll_create1 (EPOLL_CLOEXEC), eventfd (EFD_CLOEXEC), fanotify_init (FAN_CLOEXEC), inotify_init1 (IN_CLOEXEC), signalfd (SFD_CLOEXEC), timerfd_create (TFD_CLOEXEC), or the venerable general purpose open (O_CLOEXEC), perf_event_open() syscall lack a flag to atomically set FD_CLOEXEC (eg. close-on-exec) flag on file descriptor it returns to userspace. The present patch adds a PERF_FLAG_FD_CLOEXEC flag to allow perf_event_open() syscall to atomically set close-on-exec. Having this flag will enable userspace to remove the file descriptor from the list of file descriptors being inherited across exec, without the need to call fcntl(fd, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) and the associated race condition between the current thread and another thread calling fork(2) then execve(2).

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

perf/core, x86: Add PERF_SAMPLE_PHYS_ADDR For understanding how the workload maps to memory channels and hardware behavior, it's very important to collect address maps with physical addresses. For example, 3D XPoint access can only be found by filtering the physical address. Add a new sample type for physical address. perf already has a facility to collect data virtual address. This patch introduces a function to convert the virtual address to physical address. The function is quite generic and can be extended to any architecture as long as a virtual address is provided. - For kernel direct mapping addresses, virt_to_phys is used to convert the virtual addresses to physical address. - For user virtual addresses, __get_user_pages_fast is used to walk the pages tables for user physical address. - This does not work for vmalloc addresses right now. These are not resolved, but code to do that could be added. The new sample type requires collecting the virtual address. The virtual address will not be output unless SAMPLE_ADDR is applied. For security, the physical address can only be exposed to root or privileged user.

perf: Add per event clockid support While thinking on the whole clock discussion it occurred to me we have two distinct uses of time: 1) the tracking of event/ctx/cgroup enabled/running/stopped times which includes the self-monitoring support in struct perf_event_mmap_page. 2) the actual timestamps visible in the data records. And we've been conflating them. The first is all about tracking time deltas, nobody should really care in what time base that happens, its all relative information, as long as its internally consistent it works. The second however is what people are worried about when having to merge their data with external sources. And here we have the discussion on MONOTONIC vs MONOTONIC_RAW etc.. Where MONOTONIC is good for correlating between machines (static offset), MONOTNIC_RAW is required for correlating against a fixed rate hardware clock. This means configurability; now 1) makes that hard because it needs to be internally consistent across groups of unrelated events; which is why we had to have a global perf_clock(). However, for 2) it doesn't really matter, perf itself doesn't care what it writes into the buffer. The below patch makes the distinction between these two cases by adding perf_event_clock() which is used for the second case. It further makes this configurable on a per-event basis, but adds a few sanity checks such that we cannot combine events with different clocks in confusing ways. And since we then have per-event configurability we might as well retain the 'legacy' behaviour as a default.

perf/core: Generalize event->group_flags Currently, PERF_GROUP_SOFTWARE is used in the group_flags field of a group's leader to indicate that is_software_event(event) is true for all events in a group. This is the only usage of event->group_flags. This pattern of setting a group level flags when all events in the group share a property is useful for the flag introduced in the next patch and for future CQM/CMT flags. So this patches generalizes group_flags to work as an aggregate of event level flags. PERF_GROUP_SOFTWARE denotes an inmutable event's property. All other flags that I intend to add are also determinable at event initialization. To better convey the above, this patch renames event's group_flags to group_caps and PERF_GROUP_SOFTWARE to PERF_EV_CAP_SOFTWARE. Individual event flags are stored in the new event->event_caps. Since the cap flags do not change after event initialization, there is no need to serialize event_caps. This new field is used when events are added to a context, similarly to how PERF_GROUP_SOFTWARE and is_software_event() worked. Lastly, for consistency, updates is_software_event() to rely in event_cap instead of the context index.

perf/core: Fix group {cpu,task} validation Regardless of which events form a group, it does not make sense for the events to target different tasks and/or CPUs, as this leaves the group inconsistent and impossible to schedule. The core perf code assumes that these are consistent across (successfully intialised) groups. Core perf code only verifies this when moving SW events into a HW context. Thus, we can violate this requirement for pure SW groups and pure HW groups, unless the relevant PMU driver happens to perform this verification itself. These mismatched groups subsequently wreak havoc elsewhere.

perf/core: Fix group {cpu,task} validation Regardless of which events form a group, it does not make sense for the events to target different tasks and/or CPUs, as this leaves the group inconsistent and impossible to schedule.

perf_counter: Add support for pinned and exclusive counter groups Impact: New perf_counter features A pinned counter group is one that the user wants to have on the CPU whenever possible, i.e. whenever the associated task is running, for a per-task group, or always for a per-cpu group. If the system cannot satisfy that, it puts the group into an error state where it is not scheduled any more and reads from it return EOF (i.e. 0 bytes read). The group can be released from error state and made readable again using prctl(PR_TASK_PERF_COUNTERS_ENABLE). When we have finer-grained enable/disable controls on counters we'll be able to reset the error state on individual groups. An exclusive group is one that the user wants to be the only group using the CPU performance monitor hardware whenever it is on. The counter group scheduler will not schedule an exclusive group if there are already other groups on the CPU and will not schedule other groups onto the CPU if there is an exclusive group scheduled (that statement does not apply to groups containing only software counters, which can always go on and which do not prevent an exclusive group from going on). With an exclusive group, we will be able to let users program PMU registers at a low level without the concern that those settings will perturb other measurements. Along the way this reorganizes things a little: - is_software_counter() is moved to perf_counter.h. - cpuctx->active_oncpu now records the number of hardware counters on the CPU, i.e. it now excludes software counters. Nothing was reading cpuctx->active_oncpu before, so this change is harmless. - A new cpuctx->exclusive field records whether we currently have an exclusive group on the CPU. - counter_sched_out moves higher up in perf_counter.c and gets called from __perf_counter_remove_from_context and __perf_counter_exit_task, where we used to have essentially the same code. - __perf_counter_sched_in now goes through the counter list twice, doing the pinned counters in the first loop and the non-pinned counters in the second loop, in order to give the pinned counters the best chance to be scheduled in. Note that only a group leader can be exclusive or pinned, and that attribute applies to the whole group. This avoids some awkwardness in some corner cases (e.g. where a group leader is closed and the other group members get added to the context list). If we want to relax that restriction later, we can, and it is easier to relax a restriction than to apply a new one. This doesn't yet handle the case where a pinned counter is inherited and goes into error state in the child - the error state is not propagated up to the parent when the child exits, and arguably it should.

perf: Introduce a flag to enable close-on-exec in perf_event_open() Unlike recent modern userspace API such as: epoll_create1 (EPOLL_CLOEXEC), eventfd (EFD_CLOEXEC), fanotify_init (FAN_CLOEXEC), inotify_init1 (IN_CLOEXEC), signalfd (SFD_CLOEXEC), timerfd_create (TFD_CLOEXEC), or the venerable general purpose open (O_CLOEXEC), perf_event_open() syscall lack a flag to atomically set FD_CLOEXEC (eg. close-on-exec) flag on file descriptor it returns to userspace. The present patch adds a PERF_FLAG_FD_CLOEXEC flag to allow perf_event_open() syscall to atomically set close-on-exec. Having this flag will enable userspace to remove the file descriptor from the list of file descriptors being inherited across exec, without the need to call fcntl(fd, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) and the associated race condition between the current thread and another thread calling fork(2) then execve(2).

perf/core: Fix concurrent sys_perf_event_open() vs. 'move_group' race Di Shen reported a race between two concurrent sys_perf_event_open() calls where both try and move the same pre-existing software group into a hardware context. The problem is exactly that described in commit: f63a8daa5812 ("perf: Fix event->ctx locking") ... where, while we wait for a ctx->mutex acquisition, the event->ctx relation can have changed under us. That very same commit failed to recognise sys_perf_event_context() as an external access vector to the events and thereby didn't apply the established locking rules correctly. So while one sys_perf_event_open() call is stuck waiting on mutex_lock_double(), the other (which owns said locks) moves the group about. So by the time the former sys_perf_event_open() acquires the locks, the context we've acquired is stale (and possibly dead). Apply the established locking rules as per perf_event_ctx_lock_nested() to the mutex_lock_double() for the 'move_group' case. This obviously means we need to validate state after we acquire the locks.

perf/core: Remove confusing comment and move put_ctx() Since commit: 321027c1fe77 ("perf/core: Fix concurrent sys_perf_event_open() vs. 'move_group' race") ... the code looks like (assuming move_group==1): gctx = __perf_event_ctx_lock_double(group_leader, ctx); perf_remove_from_context(group_leader, 0); list_for_each_entry(sibling, &group_leader->sibling_list, group_entry) { perf_remove_from_context(sibling, 0); put_ctx(gctx); } /* ... */ /* misleading comment about how this is the last reference */ put_ctx(gctx); perf_event_ctx_unlock(group_leader, gctx); What that 'last' put_ctx() does is drop @group_leader's reference on gctx after having dropped all its potential sibling references. But the thing is that __perf_event_ctx_lock_double() returns with a reference _and_ a held lock, and perf_event_ctx_unlock() unlocks that lock and drops that reference. Therefore that put_ctx() cannot be the 'last' of anything, nor is there an unbalance in puts. To reduce confusion, remove the comment and place the put_ctx() next to the remove_from_context() call.

perf: Fix events installation during moving group We allow PMU driver to change the cpu on which the event should be installed to. This happened in patch: e2d37cd213dc ("perf: Allow the PMU driver to choose the CPU on which to install events") This patch also forces all the group members to follow the currently opened events cpu if the group happened to be moved. This and the change of event->cpu in perf_install_in_context() function introduced in: 0cda4c023132 ("perf: Introduce perf_pmu_migrate_context()") forces group members to change their event->cpu, if the currently-opened-event's PMU changed the cpu and there is a group move. Above behaviour causes problem for breakpoint events, which uses event->cpu to touch cpu specific data for breakpoints accounting. By changing event->cpu, some breakpoints slots were wrongly accounted for given cpu. Vinces's perf fuzzer hit this issue and caused following WARN on my setup: WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 20214 at arch/x86/kernel/hw_breakpoint.c:119 arch_install_hw_breakpoint+0x142/0x150() Can't find any breakpoint slot [...] This patch changes the group moving code to keep the event's original cpu.

perf/core: Fix concurrent sys_perf_event_open() vs. 'move_group' race Di Shen reported a race between two concurrent sys_perf_event_open() calls where both try and move the same pre-existing software group into a hardware context. The problem is exactly that described in commit: f63a8daa5812 ("perf: Fix event->ctx locking") ... where, while we wait for a ctx->mutex acquisition, the event->ctx relation can have changed under us. That very same commit failed to recognise sys_perf_event_context() as an external access vector to the events and thereby didn't apply the established locking rules correctly. So while one sys_perf_event_open() call is stuck waiting on mutex_lock_double(), the other (which owns said locks) moves the group about. So by the time the former sys_perf_event_open() acquires the locks, the context we've acquired is stale (and possibly dead). Apply the established locking rules as per perf_event_ctx_lock_nested() to the mutex_lock_double() for the 'move_group' case. This obviously means we need to validate state after we acquire the locks.

perf_counter: Add counter enable/disable ioctls Impact: New perf_counter features This primarily adds a way for perf_counter users to enable and disable counters and groups. Enabling or disabling a counter or group also enables or disables all of the child counters that have been cloned from it to monitor children of the task monitored by the top-level counter. The userspace interface to enable/disable counters is via ioctl on the counter file descriptor. Along the way this extends the code that handles child counters to handle child counter groups properly. A group with multiple counters will be cloned to child tasks if and only if the group leader has the hw_event.inherit bit set - if it is set the whole group is cloned as a group in the child task. In order to be able to enable or disable all child counters of a given top-level counter, we need a way to find them all. Hence I have added a child_list field to struct perf_counter, which is the head of the list of children for a top-level counter, or the link in that list for a child counter. That list is protected by the perf_counter.mutex field. This also adds a mutex to the perf_counter_context struct. Previously the list of counters was protected just by the lock field in the context, which meant that perf_counter_init_task had to take that lock and then take whatever lock/mutex protects the top-level counter's child_list. But the counter enable/disable functions need to take that lock in order to traverse the list, then for each counter take the lock in that counter's context in order to change the counter's state safely, which will lead to a deadlock. To solve this, we now have both a mutex and a spinlock in the context, and taking either is sufficient to ensure the list of counters can't change - you have to take both before changing the list. Now perf_counter_init_task takes the mutex instead of the lock (which incidentally means that inherit_counter can use GFP_KERNEL instead of GFP_ATOMIC) and thus avoids the possible deadlock. Similarly the new enable/disable functions can take the mutex while traversing the list of child counters without incurring a possible deadlock when the counter manipulation code locks the context for a child counter. We also had an misfeature that the first counter added to a context would possibly not go on until the next sched-in, because we were using ctx->nr_active to detect if the context was running on a CPU. But nr_active is the number of active counters, and if that was zero (because the context didn't have any counters yet) it would look like the context wasn't running on a cpu and so the retry code in __perf_install_in_context wouldn't retry. So this adds an 'is_active' field that is set when the context is on a CPU, even if it has no counters. The is_active field is only used for task contexts, not for per-cpu contexts. If we enable a subsidiary counter in a group that is active on a CPU, and the arch code can't enable the counter, then we have to pull the whole group off the CPU. We do this with group_sched_out, which gets moved up in the file so it comes before all its callers. This also adds similar logic to __perf_install_in_context so that the "all on, or none" invariant of groups is preserved when adding a new counter to a group.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

A group with multiple counters will be cloned to child tasks if and only if the group leader has the hw_event.inherit bit set - if it is set the whole group is cloned as a group in the child task. In order to be able to enable or disable all child counters of a given top-level counter, we need a way to find them all. Hence I have added a child_list field to struct perf_counter, which is the head of the list of children for a top-level counter, or the link in that list for a child counter. That list is protected by the perf_counter.mutex field. This also adds a mutex to the perf_counter_context struct. Previously the list of counters was protected just by the lock field in the context, which meant that perf_counter_init_task had to take that lock and then take whatever lock/mutex protects the top-level counter's child_list. But the counter enable/disable functions need to take that lock in order to traverse the list, then for each counter take the lock in that counter's context in order to change the counter's state safely, which will lead to a deadlock. To solve this, we now have both a mutex and a spinlock in the context, and taking either is sufficient to ensure the list of counters can't change - you have to take both before changing the list. Now perf_counter_init_task takes the mutex instead of the lock (which incidentally means that inherit_counter can use GFP_KERNEL instead of GFP_ATOMIC) and thus avoids the possible deadlock. Similarly the new enable/disable functions can take the mutex while traversing the list of child counters without incurring a possible deadlock when the counter manipulation code locks the context for a child counter. We also had an misfeature that the first counter added to a context would possibly not go on until the next sched-in, because we were using ctx->nr_active to detect if the context was running on a CPU. But nr_active is the number of active counters, and if that was zero (because the context didn't have any counters yet) it would look like the context wasn't running on a cpu and so the retry code in __perf_install_in_context wouldn't retry. So this adds an 'is_active' field that is set when the context is on a CPU, even if it has no counters. The is_active field is only used for task contexts, not for per-cpu contexts. If we enable a subsidiary counter in a group that is active on a CPU, and the arch code can't enable the counter, then we have to pull the whole group off the CPU. We do this with group_sched_out, which gets moved up in the file so it comes before all its callers. This also adds similar logic to __perf_install_in_context so that the "all on, or none" invariant of groups is preserved when adding a new counter to a group.

perf_counter: Add counter enable/disable ioctls Impact: New perf_counter features This primarily adds a way for perf_counter users to enable and disable counters and groups.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

Similarly the new enable/disable functions can take the mutex while traversing the list of child counters without incurring a possible deadlock when the counter manipulation code locks the context for a child counter. We also had an misfeature that the first counter added to a context would possibly not go on until the next sched-in, because we were using ctx->nr_active to detect if the context was running on a CPU. But nr_active is the number of active counters, and if that was zero (because the context didn't have any counters yet) it would look like the context wasn't running on a cpu and so the retry code in __perf_install_in_context wouldn't retry. So this adds an 'is_active' field that is set when the context is on a CPU, even if it has no counters. The is_active field is only used for task contexts, not for per-cpu contexts. If we enable a subsidiary counter in a group that is active on a CPU, and the arch code can't enable the counter, then we have to pull the whole group off the CPU. We do this with group_sched_out, which gets moved up in the file so it comes before all its callers. This also adds similar logic to __perf_install_in_context so that the "all on, or none" invariant of groups is preserved when adding a new counter to a group.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

perf_counter: Add counter enable/disable ioctls Impact: New perf_counter features This primarily adds a way for perf_counter users to enable and disable counters and groups. Enabling or disabling a counter or group also enables or disables all of the child counters that have been cloned from it to monitor children of the task monitored by the top-level counter. The userspace interface to enable/disable counters is via ioctl on the counter file descriptor. Along the way this extends the code that handles child counters to handle child counter groups properly. A group with multiple counters will be cloned to child tasks if and only if the group leader has the hw_event.inherit bit set - if it is set the whole group is cloned as a group in the child task. In order to be able to enable or disable all child counters of a given top-level counter, we need a way to find them all. Hence I have added a child_list field to struct perf_counter, which is the head of the list of children for a top-level counter, or the link in that list for a child counter. That list is protected by the perf_counter.mutex field. This also adds a mutex to the perf_counter_context struct. Previously the list of counters was protected just by the lock field in the context, which meant that perf_counter_init_task had to take that lock and then take whatever lock/mutex protects the top-level counter's child_list. But the counter enable/disable functions need to take that lock in order to traverse the list, then for each counter take the lock in that counter's context in order to change the counter's state safely, which will lead to a deadlock. To solve this, we now have both a mutex and a spinlock in the context, and taking either is sufficient to ensure the list of counters can't change - you have to take both before changing the list.

perf: Fix cloning Alexander reported that when the 'original' context gets destroyed, no new clones happen. This can happen irrespective of the ctx switch optimization, any task can die, even the parent, and we want to continue monitoring the task hierarchy until we either close the event or no tasks are left in the hierarchy. perf_event_init_context() will attempt to pin the 'parent' context during clone(). At that point current is the parent, and since current cannot have exited while executing clone(), its context cannot have passed through perf_event_exit_task_context(). Therefore perf_pin_task_context() cannot observe ctx->task == TASK_TOMBSTONE. However, since inherit_event() does: if (parent_event->parent) parent_event = parent_event->parent; it looks at the 'original' event when it does: is_orphaned_event(). This can return true if the context that contains the this event has passed through perf_event_exit_task_context(). And thus we'll fail to clone the perf context. Fix this by adding a new state: STATE_DEAD, which is set by perf_release() to indicate that the filedesc (or kernel reference) is dead and there are no observers for our data left. Only for STATE_DEAD will is_orphaned_event() be true and inhibit cloning. STATE_EXIT is otherwise preserved such that is_event_hup() remains functional and will report when the observed task hierarchy becomes empty.

perf_counter: Don't swap contexts containing locked mutex Peter Zijlstra pointed out that under some circumstances, we can take the mutex in a context or a counter and then swap that context or counter to another task, potentially leading to lock order inversions or the mutexes not protecting what they are supposed to protect. This fixes the problem by making sure that we never take a mutex in a context or counter which could get swapped to another task. Most of the cases where we take a mutex is on a top-level counter or context, i.e. a counter which has an fd associated with it or a context that contains such a counter. This adds WARN_ON_ONCE statements to verify that. The two cases where we need to take the mutex on a context that is a clone of another are in perf_counter_exit_task and perf_counter_init_task. The perf_counter_exit_task case is solved by uncloning the context before starting to remove the counters from it. The perf_counter_init_task is a little trickier; we temporarily disable context swapping for the parent (forking) task by setting its ctx->parent_gen to the all-1s value after locking the context, if it is a cloned context, and restore the ctx->parent_gen value at the end if the context didn't get uncloned in the meantime. This also moves the increment of the context generation count to be within the same critical section, protected by the context mutex, that adds the new counter to the context. That way, taking the mutex is sufficient to ensure that both the counter list and the generation count are stable.

perf_counter: Fix race in attaching counters to tasks and exiting Commit 564c2b21 ("perf_counter: Optimize context switch between identical inherited contexts") introduced a race where it is possible that a counter being attached to a task could get attached to the wrong task, if the task is one that has inherited its context from another task via fork. This happens because the optimized context switch could switch the context to another task after find_get_context has read task->perf_counter_ctxp. In fact, it's possible that the context could then get freed, if the other task then exits. This fixes the problem by protecting both the context switch and the critical code in find_get_context with spinlocks. The context switch locks the cxt->lock of both the outgoing and incoming contexts before swapping them. That means that once code such as find_get_context has obtained the spinlock for the context associated with a task, the context can't get swapped to another task. However, the context may have been swapped in the interval between reading task->perf_counter_ctxp and getting the lock, so it is necessary to check and retry. To make sure that none of the contexts being looked at in find_get_context can get freed, this changes the context freeing code to use RCU. Thus an rcu_read_lock() is sufficient to ensure that no contexts can get freed. This part of the patch is lifted from a patch posted by Peter Zijlstra. This also adds a check to make sure that we can't add a counter to a task that is exiting. There is also a race between perf_counter_exit_task and find_get_context; this solves the race by moving the get_ctx that was in perf_counter_alloc into the locked region in find_get_context, so that once find_get_context has got the context for a task, it won't get freed even if the task calls perf_counter_exit_task. It doesn't matter if new top-level (non-inherited) counters get attached to the context after perf_counter_exit_task has detached the context from the task. They will just stay there and never get scheduled in until the counters' fds get closed, and then perf_release will remove them from the context and eventually free the context. With this, we are now doing the unclone in find_get_context rather than when a counter was added to or removed from a context (actually, we were missing the unclone_ctx() call when adding a counter to a context). We don't need to unclone when removing a counter from a context because we have no way to remove a counter from a cloned context. This also takes out the smp_wmb() in find_get_context, which Peter Zijlstra pointed out was unnecessary because the cmpxchg implies a full barrier anyway.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

perf_counter: Dynamically allocate tasks' perf_counter_context struct This replaces the struct perf_counter_context in the task_struct with a pointer to a dynamically allocated perf_counter_context struct. The main reason for doing is this is to allow us to transfer a perf_counter_context from one task to another when we do lazy PMU switching in a later patch. This has a few side-benefits: the task_struct becomes a little smaller, we save some memory because only tasks that have perf_counters attached get a perf_counter_context allocated for them, and we can remove the inclusion of <linux/perf_counter.h> in sched.h, meaning that we don't end up recompiling nearly everything whenever perf_counter.h changes. The perf_counter_context structures are reference-counted and freed when the last reference is dropped. A context can have references from its task and the counters on its task. Counters can outlive the task so it is possible that a context will be freed well after its task has exited. Contexts are allocated on fork if the parent had a context, or otherwise the first time that a per-task counter is created on a task. In the latter case, we set the context pointer in the task struct locklessly using an atomic compare-and-exchange operation in case we raced with some other task in creating a context for the subject task. This also removes the task pointer from the perf_counter struct. The task pointer was not used anywhere and would make it harder to move a context from one task to another. Anything that needed to know which task a counter was attached to was already using counter->ctx->task. The __perf_counter_init_context function moves up in perf_counter.c so that it can be called from find_get_context, and now initializes the refcount, but is otherwise unchanged. We were potentially calling list_del_counter twice: once from __perf_counter_exit_task when the task exits and once from __perf_counter_remove_from_context when the counter's fd gets closed. This adds a check in list_del_counter so it doesn't do anything if the counter has already been removed from the lists. Since perf_counter_task_sched_in doesn't do anything if the task doesn't have a context, and leaves cpuctx->task_ctx = NULL, this adds code to __perf_install_in_context to set cpuctx->task_ctx if necessary, i.e. in the case where the current task adds the first counter to itself and thus creates a context for itself. This also adds similar code to __perf_counter_enable to handle a similar situation which can arise when the counters have been disabled using prctl; that also leaves cpuctx->task_ctx = NULL.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant.

perf/core: Better explain the inherit magic While going through the event inheritance code Oleg got confused. Add some comments to better explain the silent dissapearance of orphaned events. So what happens is that at perf_event_release_kernel() time; when an event looses its connection to userspace (and ceases to exist from the user's perspective) we can still have an arbitrary amount of inherited copies of the event. We want to synchronously find and remove all these child events. Since that requires a bit of lock juggling, there is the possibility that concurrent clone()s will create new child events. Therefore we first mark the parent event as DEAD, which marks all the extant child events as orphaned. We then avoid copying orphaned events; in order to avoid getting more of them.

Thats' because each child event holds parent reference. We want to release all children events once the parent is gone, because at that time there's no process to read them anyway, so they're just eating resources. This removal races with process exit, which removes all events and fork, which clone events. To be clear of those two, adding work queue to remove orphaned child for context in case such event is detected. Using delayed work queue (with delay == 1), because we queue this work under perf scheduler callbacks. Normal work queue tries to wake up the queue process, which deadlocks on rq->lock in this place. Also preventing clones from abandoned parent event.

perf: Clone child context from parent context pmu Currently when the child context for inherited events is created, it's based on the pmu object of the first event of the parent context. This is wrong for the following scenario: - HW context having HW and SW event - HW event got removed (closed) - SW event stays in HW context as the only event and its pmu is used to clone the child context The issue starts when the cpu context object is touched based on the pmu context object (__get_cpu_context). In this case the HW context will work with SW cpu context ending up with following WARN below. Fixing this by using parent context pmu object to clone from child context.

perf_counter: Optimize context switch between identical inherited contexts When monitoring a process and its descendants with a set of inherited counters, we can often get the situation in a context switch where both the old (outgoing) and new (incoming) process have the same set of counters, and their values are ultimately going to be added together. In that situation it doesn't matter which set of counters are used to count the activity for the new process, so there is really no need to go through the process of reading the hardware counters and updating the old task's counters and then setting up the PMU for the new task. This optimizes the context switch in this situation. Instead of scheduling out the perf_counter_context for the old task and scheduling in the new context, we simply transfer the old context to the new task and keep using it without interruption. The new context gets transferred to the old task. This means that both tasks still have a valid perf_counter_context, so no special case is introduced when the old task gets scheduled in again, either on this CPU or another CPU. The equivalence of contexts is detected by keeping a pointer in each cloned context pointing to the context it was cloned from. To cope with the situation where a context is changed by adding or removing counters after it has been cloned, we also keep a generation number on each context which is incremented every time a context is changed. When a context is cloned we take a copy of the parent's generation number, and two cloned contexts are equivalent only if they have the same parent and the same generation number. In order that the parent context pointer remains valid (and is not reused), we increment the parent context's reference count for each context cloned from it. Since we don't have individual fds for the counters in a cloned context, the only thing that can make two clones of a given parent different after they have been cloned is enabling or disabling all counters with prctl. To account for this, we keep a count of the number of enabled counters in each context. Two contexts must have the same number of enabled counters to be considered equivalent. Here are some measurements of the context switch time as measured with the lat_ctx benchmark from lmbench, comparing the times obtained with and without this patch series: -----Unmodified----- With this patch series Counters: none 2 HW 4H+4S none 2 HW 4H+4S 2 processes: Average 3.44 6.45 11.24 3.12 3.39 3.60 St dev 0.04 0.04 0.13 0.05 0.17 0.19 8 processes: Average 6.45 8.79 14.00 5.57 6.23 7.57 St dev 1.27 1.04 0.88 1.42 1.46 1.42 32 processes: Average 5.56 8.43 13.78 5.28 5.55 7.15 St dev 0.41 0.47 0.53 0.54 0.57 0.81 The numbers are the mean and standard deviation of 20 runs of lat_ctx. The "none" columns are lat_ctx run directly without any counters. The "2 HW" columns are with lat_ctx run under perfstat, counting cycles and instructions. The "4H+4S" columns are lat_ctx run under perfstat with 4 hardware counters and 4 software counters (cycles, instructions, cache references, cache misses, task clock, context switch, cpu migrations, and page faults).

perf_counter: Don't swap contexts containing locked mutex Peter Zijlstra pointed out that under some circumstances, we can take the mutex in a context or a counter and then swap that context or counter to another task, potentially leading to lock order inversions or the mutexes not protecting what they are supposed to protect. This fixes the problem by making sure that we never take a mutex in a context or counter which could get swapped to another task. Most of the cases where we take a mutex is on a top-level counter or context, i.e. a counter which has an fd associated with it or a context that contains such a counter. This adds WARN_ON_ONCE statements to verify that. The two cases where we need to take the mutex on a context that is a clone of another are in perf_counter_exit_task and perf_counter_init_task.

perf_counter: Add counter enable/disable ioctls Impact: New perf_counter features This primarily adds a way for perf_counter users to enable and disable counters and groups. Enabling or disabling a counter or group also enables or disables all of the child counters that have been cloned from it to monitor children of the task monitored by the top-level counter. The userspace interface to enable/disable counters is via ioctl on the counter file descriptor. Along the way this extends the code that handles child counters to handle child counter groups properly. A group with multiple counters will be cloned to child tasks if and only if the group leader has the hw_event.inherit bit set - if it is set the whole group is cloned as a group in the child task. In order to be able to enable or disable all child counters of a given top-level counter, we need a way to find them all. Hence I have added a child_list field to struct perf_counter, which is the head of the list of children for a top-level counter, or the link in that list for a child counter. That list is protected by the perf_counter.mutex field. This also adds a mutex to the perf_counter_context struct. Previously the list of counters was protected just by the lock field in the context, which meant that perf_counter_init_task had to take that lock and then take whatever lock/mutex protects the top-level counter's child_list. But the counter enable/disable functions need to take that lock in order to traverse the list, then for each counter take the lock in that counter's context in order to change the counter's state safely, which will lead to a deadlock. To solve this, we now have both a mutex and a spinlock in the context, and taking either is sufficient to ensure the list of counters can't change - you have to take both before changing the list. Now perf_counter_init_task takes the mutex instead of the lock (which incidentally means that inherit_counter can use GFP_KERNEL instead of GFP_ATOMIC) and thus avoids the possible deadlock. Similarly the new enable/disable functions can take the mutex while traversing the list of child counters without incurring a possible deadlock when the counter manipulation code locks the context for a child counter. We also had an misfeature that the first counter added to a context would possibly not go on until the next sched-in, because we were using ctx->nr_active to detect if the context was running on a CPU. But nr_active is the number of active counters, and if that was zero (because the context didn't have any counters yet) it would look like the context wasn't running on a cpu and so the retry code in __perf_install_in_context wouldn't retry. So this adds an 'is_active' field that is set when the context is on a CPU, even if it has no counters. The is_active field is only used for task contexts, not for per-cpu contexts. If we enable a subsidiary counter in a group that is active on a CPU, and the arch code can't enable the counter, then we have to pull the whole group off the CPU. We do this with group_sched_out, which gets moved up in the file so it comes before all its callers. This also adds similar logic to __perf_install_in_context so that the "all on, or none" invariant of groups is preserved when adding a new counter to a group.

perf_counter: Optimize context switch between identical inherited contexts When monitoring a process and its descendants with a set of inherited counters, we can often get the situation in a context switch where both the old (outgoing) and new (incoming) process have the same set of counters, and their values are ultimately going to be added together. In that situation it doesn't matter which set of counters are used to count the activity for the new process, so there is really no need to go through the process of reading the hardware counters and updating the old task's counters and then setting up the PMU for the new task. This optimizes the context switch in this situation. Instead of scheduling out the perf_counter_context for the old task and scheduling in the new context, we simply transfer the old context to the new task and keep using it without interruption. The new context gets transferred to the old task. This means that both tasks still have a valid perf_counter_context, so no special case is introduced when the old task gets scheduled in again, either on this CPU or another CPU. The equivalence of contexts is detected by keeping a pointer in each cloned context pointing to the context it was cloned from. To cope with the situation where a context is changed by adding or removing counters after it has been cloned, we also keep a generation number on each context which is incremented every time a context is changed. When a context is cloned we take a copy of the parent's generation number, and two cloned contexts are equivalent only if they have the same parent and the same generation number. In order that the parent context pointer remains valid (and is not reused), we increment the parent context's reference count for each context cloned from it. Since we don't have individual fds for the counters in a cloned context, the only thing that can make two clones of a given parent different after they have been cloned is enabling or disabling all counters with prctl. To account for this, we keep a count of the number of enabled counters in each context. Two contexts must have the same number of enabled counters to be considered equivalent. Here are some measurements of the context switch time as measured with the lat_ctx benchmark from lmbench, comparing the times obtained with and without this patch series: -----Unmodified----- With this patch series Counters: none 2 HW 4H+4S none 2 HW 4H+4S 2 processes: Average 3.44 6.45 11.24 3.12 3.39 3.60 St dev 0.04 0.04 0.13 0.05 0.17 0.19 8 processes: Average 6.45 8.79 14.00 5.57 6.23 7.57 St dev 1.27 1.04 0.88 1.42 1.46 1.42 32 processes: Average 5.56 8.43 13.78 5.28 5.55 7.15 St dev 0.41 0.47 0.53 0.54 0.57 0.81 The numbers are the mean and standard deviation of 20 runs of lat_ctx.

This also adds similar logic to __perf_install_in_context so that the "all on, or none" invariant of groups is preserved when adding a new counter to a group.

perf_counter: Don't swap contexts containing locked mutex Peter Zijlstra pointed out that under some circumstances, we can take the mutex in a context or a counter and then swap that context or counter to another task, potentially leading to lock order inversions or the mutexes not protecting what they are supposed to protect. This fixes the problem by making sure that we never take a mutex in a context or counter which could get swapped to another task. Most of the cases where we take a mutex is on a top-level counter or context, i.e. a counter which has an fd associated with it or a context that contains such a counter. This adds WARN_ON_ONCE statements to verify that. The two cases where we need to take the mutex on a context that is a clone of another are in perf_counter_exit_task and perf_counter_init_task. The perf_counter_exit_task case is solved by uncloning the context before starting to remove the counters from it. The perf_counter_init_task is a little trickier; we temporarily disable context swapping for the parent (forking) task by setting its ctx->parent_gen to the all-1s value after locking the context, if it is a cloned context, and restore the ctx->parent_gen value at the end if the context didn't get uncloned in the meantime. This also moves the increment of the context generation count to be within the same critical section, protected by the context mutex, that adds the new counter to the context. That way, taking the mutex is sufficient to ensure that both the counter list and the generation count are stable.

perf_event: Fix oops triggered by cpu offline/online Anton Blanchard found that he could reliably make the kernel hit a BUG_ON in the slab allocator by taking a cpu offline and then online while a system-wide perf record session was running. The reason is that when the cpu comes up, we completely reinitialize the ctx field of the struct perf_cpu_context for the cpu. If there is a system-wide perf record session running, then there will be a struct perf_event that has a reference to the context, so its refcount will be 2. (The perf_event has been removed from the context's group_entry and event_entry lists by perf_event_exit_cpu(), but that doesn't remove the perf_event's reference to the context and doesn't decrement the context's refcount.) When the cpu comes up, perf_event_init_cpu() gets called, and it calls __perf_event_init_context() on the cpu's context. That resets the refcount to 1. Then when the perf record session finishes and the perf_event is closed, the refcount gets decremented to 0 and the context gets kfreed after an RCU grace period. Since the context wasn't kmalloced -- it's part of a per-cpu variable -- bad things happen. In fact we don't need to completely reinitialize the context when the cpu comes up. It's sufficient to initialize the context once at boot, but we need to do it for all possible cpus. This moves the context initialization to happen at boot time. With this, we don't trash the refcount and the context never gets kfreed, and we don't hit the BUG_ON.

perf: Decouple unthrottling and rotating Currently the adjusments made as part of perf_event_task_tick() use the percpu rotation lists to iterate over any active PMU contexts, but these are not used by the context rotation code, having been replaced by separate (per-context) hrtimer callbacks. However, some manipulation of the rotation lists (i.e. removal of contexts) has remained in perf_rotate_context(). This leads to the following issues: * Contexts are not always removed from the rotation lists. Removal of PMUs which have been placed in rotation lists, but have not been removed by a hrtimer callback can result in corruption of the rotation lists (when memory backing the context is freed). This has been observed to result in hangs when PMU drivers built as modules are inserted and removed around the creation of events for said PMUs. * Contexts which do not require rotation may be removed from the rotation lists as a result of a hrtimer, and will not be considered by the unthrottling code in perf_event_task_tick. This patch fixes the issue by updating the rotation ist when events are scheduled in/out, ensuring that each rotation list stays in sync with the HW state. As each event holds a refcount on the module of its PMU, this ensures that when a PMU module is unloaded none of its CPU contexts can be in a rotation list. By maintaining a list of perf_event_contexts rather than perf_event_cpu_contexts, we don't need separate paths to handle the cpu and task contexts, which also makes the code a little simpler. As the rotation_list variables are not used for rotation, these are renamed to active_ctx_list, which better matches their current function. perf_pmu_rotate_{start,stop} are renamed to perf_pmu_ctx_{activate,deactivate}.

perf/core: Optimize side-band event delivery The perf_event_aux() function iterates all PMUs and all events in their respective per-CPU contexts to find the events to deliver side-band records to. For example, the brk test case in lkp triggers many mmap() operations, which, if we're also running perf, results in many perf_event_aux() invocations. If we enable uncore PMU support (even when uncore events are not used), dozens of uncore PMUs will be iterated, which can significantly decrease brk_test's throughput. For example, the brk throughput: without uncore PMUs: 2647573 ops_per_sec with uncore PMUs: 1768444 ops_per_sec ... a 33% reduction. To get at the per-CPU events that need side-band records, this patch puts these events on a per-CPU list, this avoids iterating the PMUs and any events that do not need side-band records. Per task events are unchanged to avoid extra overhead on the context switch paths.

perf/core: Make cgroup switch visit only cpuctxs with cgroup events This patch follows from a conversation in CQM/CMT's last series about speeding up the context switch for cgroup events: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9478617/ This is a low-hanging fruit optimization. It replaces the iteration over the "pmus" list in cgroup switch by an iteration over a new list that contains only cpuctxs with at least one cgroup event. This is necessary because the number of PMUs have increased over the years e.g modern x86 server systems have well above 50 PMUs. The iteration over the full PMU list is unneccessary and can be costly in heavy cache contention scenarios. Below are some instrumentation measurements with 10, 50 and 90 percentiles of the total cost of context switch before and after this optimization for a simple array read/write microbenchark. Contention Level Nr events Before (us) After (us) Median L2 L3 types (10%, 50%, 90%) (10%, 50%, 90% Speedup -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Low Low 1 (1.72, 2.42, 5.85) (1.35, 1.64, 5.46) 29% High Low 1 (2.08, 4.56, 19.8) (1720, 2.20, 13.7) 51% High High 1 (2.86, 10.4, 12.7) (2.54, 4.32, 12.1) 58% Low Low 2 (1.98, 3.20, 6.89) (1.68, 2.41, 8.89) 24% High Low 2 (2.48, 5.28, 22.4) (2150, 3.69, 14.6) 30% High High 2 (3.32, 8.09, 13.9) (2.80, 5.15, 13.7) 36% where: 1 event type = cycles 2 event types = cycles,intel_cqm/llc_occupancy/ Contention L2 Low: workset < L2 cache size. High: " >> L2 " " . Contention L3 Low: workset of task on all sockets < L3 cache size. High: " " " " " " >> L3 " " . Median Speedup is (50%ile Before - 50%ile After) / 50%ile Before Unsurprisingly, the benefits of this optimization decrease with the number of cpuctxs with a cgroup events, yet, is never detrimental.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

perf_event: Fix oops triggered by cpu offline/online Anton Blanchard found that he could reliably make the kernel hit a BUG_ON in the slab allocator by taking a cpu offline and then online while a system-wide perf record session was running. The reason is that when the cpu comes up, we completely reinitialize the ctx field of the struct perf_cpu_context for the cpu. If there is a system-wide perf record session running, then there will be a struct perf_event that has a reference to the context, so its refcount will be 2. (The perf_event has been removed from the context's group_entry and event_entry lists by perf_event_exit_cpu(), but that doesn't remove the perf_event's reference to the context and doesn't decrement the context's refcount.) When the cpu comes up, perf_event_init_cpu() gets called, and it calls __perf_event_init_context() on the cpu's context. That resets the refcount to 1. Then when the perf record session finishes and the perf_event is closed, the refcount gets decremented to 0 and the context gets kfreed after an RCU grace period. Since the context wasn't kmalloced -- it's part of a per-cpu variable -- bad things happen. In fact we don't need to completely reinitialize the context when the cpu comes up. It's sufficient to initialize the context once at boot, but we need to do it for all possible cpus. This moves the context initialization to happen at boot time. With this, we don't trash the refcount and the context never gets kfreed, and we don't hit the BUG_ON.

This in turn means that cgroup_css() should be synchronized and may return NULL, making it more cumbersome to use. * Differing levels of per-subsystem granularity in the unified hierarchy means that the task and descendant iterators should behave differently depending on the specific subsystem the iteration is being performed for. * In majority of the cases, subsystems only care about its part in the cgroup hierarchy - ie. the hierarchy of css's.

This patch converts all cgroup_subsys methods to take @css instead of @cgroup. The conversions are mostly straight-forward.

cgroup: fix handling of multi-destination migration from subtree_control enabling 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.

Most subsystems use the matching name but three - cpu, memory and perf_event - use different ones. * cgroup_subsys_id enums are postfixed with _subsys_id and each cgroup_subsys is postfixed with _subsys. cgroup.h is widely included throughout various subsystems, it doesn't and shouldn't have claim on such generic names which don't have any qualifier indicating that they belong to cgroup. * cgroup_subsys->subsys_id should always equal the matching cgroup_subsys_id enum; however, we require each controller to initialize it and then BUG if they don't match, which is a bit silly. This patch cleans up cgroup_subsys names and initialization by doing the followings. * cgroup_subsys_id enums are now postfixed with _cgrp_id, and each cgroup_subsys with _cgrp_subsys. * With the above, renaming subsys identifiers to match the userland visible names doesn't cause any naming conflicts. All non-matching identifiers are renamed to match the official names. cpu_cgroup -> cpu mem_cgroup -> memory perf -> perf_event * controllers no longer need to initialize ->subsys_id and ->name. They're generated in cgroup core and set automatically during boot. * Redundant cgroup_subsys declarations removed. * While updating BUG_ON()s in cgroup_init_early(), convert them to WARN()s. BUGging that early during boot is stupid - the kernel can't print anything, even through serial console and the trap handler doesn't even link stack frame properly for back-tracing. This patch doesn't introduce any behavior changes. v2: Rebased on top of fe1217c4f3f7 ("net: net_cls: move cgroupfs classid handling into core").

cgroup: implement cgroup v2 thread support This patch implements cgroup v2 thread support. The goal of the thread mode is supporting hierarchical accounting and control at thread granularity while staying inside the resource domain model which allows coordination across different resource controllers and handling of anonymous resource consumptions. A cgroup is always created as a domain and can be made threaded by writing to the "cgroup.type" file. When a cgroup becomes threaded, it becomes a member of a threaded subtree which is anchored at the closest ancestor which isn't threaded. The threads of the processes which are in a threaded subtree can be placed anywhere without being restricted by process granularity or no-internal-process constraint. Note that the threads aren't allowed to escape to a different threaded subtree. To be used inside a threaded subtree, a controller should explicitly support threaded mode and be able to handle internal competition in the way which is appropriate for the resource. The root of a threaded subtree, the nearest ancestor which isn't threaded, is called the threaded domain and serves as the resource domain for the whole subtree. This is the last cgroup where domain controllers are operational and where all the domain-level resource consumptions in the subtree are accounted. This allows threaded controllers to operate at thread granularity when requested while staying inside the scope of system-level resource distribution. As the root cgroup is exempt from the no-internal-process constraint, it can serve as both a threaded domain and a parent to normal cgroups, so, unlike non-root cgroups, the root cgroup can have both domain and threaded children. Internally, in a threaded subtree, each css_set has its ->dom_cset pointing to a matching css_set which belongs to the threaded domain. This ensures that thread root level cgroup_subsys_state for all threaded controllers are readily accessible for domain-level operations. This patch enables threaded mode for the pids and perf_events controllers. Neither has to worry about domain-level resource consumptions and it's enough to simply set the flag. For more details on the interface and behavior of the thread mode, please refer to the section 2-2-2 in Documentation/cgroup-v2.txt added by this patch. v5: - Dropped silly no-op ->dom_cgrp init from cgroup_create(). Spotted by Waiman. - Documentation updated as suggested by Waiman. - cgroup.type content slightly reformatted. - Mark the debug controller threaded. v4: - Updated to the general idea of marking specific cgroups domain/threaded as suggested by PeterZ. v3: - Dropped "join" and always make mixed children join the parent's threaded subtree. v2: - After discussions with Waiman, support for mixed thread mode is added. This should address the issue that Peter pointed out where any nesting should be avoided for thread subtrees while coexisting with other domain cgroups. - Enabling / disabling thread mode now piggy backs on the existing control mask update mechanism. - Bug fixes and cleanup.
