* KVM: PPC: Whitespace fix for kvm.hAlexander Graf2011-12-27
| | | | | | | kvm.h had sparse whitespace at the end of the line. Clean it up so syncing with QEMU gets easier. Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>
* KVM: Fix whitespace in kvm_para.hAlexander Graf2011-12-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | When syncing KVM headers with QEMU I (or whoever applies the diff) end up automatically fixing whitespaces. One of them is in kvm_para.h. It's a lot more consistent for people who don't do the whitespace fixups automatically to already have fixed headers in Linux. So remove the sparse empty line at the end of kvm_para.h and everyone's happy. Reported-by: Blue Swirl <blauwirbel@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

| | * tracing: Add entries in buffer and total entries to default output headerSteven Rostedt2011-11-17

The latency format gives this information and there's no reason that the default format does not. This information is now added to the default header, along with the number of online CPUs: # tracer: nop # # entries-in-buffer/entries-written: 159836/64690869 #P:4 # # _-----=> irqs-off # / _----=> need-resched # | / _---=> hardirq/softirq # || / _--=> preempt-depth # ||| / delay # TASK-PID CPU# |||| TIMESTAMP FUNCTION # | | | |||| | | <idle>-0 [000] ...2 49.442971: local_touch_nmi <-cpu_idle <idle>-0 [000] d..2 49.442973: enter_idle <-cpu_idle <idle>-0 [000] d..2 49.442974: atomic_notifier_call_chain <-enter_idle <idle>-0 [000] d..2 49.442976: __atomic_notifier_call_chain <-atomic_notifier The above shows that the trace contains 159836 entries, but 64690869 were written.

Some developers think that traces without this info is completely useless, and for a lot of tasks it is useless. The first option was to enable the latency trace as the default format, but the header for the latency format is pretty useless for most tracers and it also does the timestamp in straight microseconds from the time the trace started. This is sometimes more difficult to read as the default trace is seconds from the start of boot up.

Although some of the header is useful, and we can add that later to the default format as well. What is really useful with the latency format is the irqs-off, need-resched hard/softirq context and the preempt count.

| * | perf, core: Rate limit perf_sched_events jump_label patchingGleb Natapov2011-12-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | jump_lable patching is very expensive operation that involves pausing all cpus. The patching of perf_sched_events jump_label is easily controllable from userspace by unprivileged user. When te user runs a loop like this: "while true; do perf stat -e cycles true; done" ... the performance of my test application that just increments a counter for one second drops by 4%. This is on a 16 cpu box with my test application using only one of them. An impact on a real server doing real work will be worse. Performance of KVM PMU drops nearly 50% due to jump_lable for "perf record" since KVM PMU implementation creates and destroys perf event frequently. This patch introduces a way to rate limit jump_label patching and uses it to fix the above problem. I believe that as jump_label use will spread the problem will become more common and thus solving it in a generic code is appropriate. Also fixing it in the perf code would result in moving jump_label accounting logic to perf code with all the ifdefs in case of JUMP_LABEL=n kernel. With this patch all details are nicely hidden inside jump_label code.

| * | perf, x86: Fix event scheduler for constraints with overlapping countersRobert Richter2011-12-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current x86 event scheduler fails to resolve scheduling problems of certain combinations of events and constraints. This happens if the counter mask of such an event is not a subset of any other counter mask of a constraint with an equal or higher weight, e.g. constraints of the AMD family 15h pmu: counter mask weight amd_f15_PMC30 0x09 2 <--- overlapping counters amd_f15_PMC20 0x07 3 amd_f15_PMC53 0x38 3 The scheduler does not find then an existing solution. Here is an example: event code counter failure possible solution 0x02E PMC[3,0] 0 3 0x043 PMC[2:0] 1 0 0x045 PMC[2:0] 2 1 0x046 PMC[2:0] FAIL 2 The event scheduler may not select the correct counter in the first cycle because it needs to know which subsequent events will be scheduled. It may fail to schedule the events then. To solve this, we now save the scheduler state of events with overlapping counter counstraints. If we fail to schedule the events we rollback to those states and try to use another free counter. Constraints with overlapping counters are marked with a new introduced overlap flag. We set the overlap flag for such constraints to give the scheduler a hint which events to select for counter rescheduling. The EVENT_CONSTRAINT_OVERLAP() macro can be used for this. Care must be taken as the rescheduling algorithm is O(n!) which will increase scheduling cycles for an over-commited system dramatically. The number of such EVENT_CONSTRAINT_OVERLAP() macros and its counter masks must be kept at a minimum. Thus, the current stack is limited to 2 states to limit the number of loops the algorithm takes in the worst case. On systems with no overlapping-counter constraints, this implementation does not increase the loop count compared to the previous algorithm. V2: * Renamed redo -> overlap. * Reimplementation using perf scheduling helper functions.

| * | perf, x86: Implement event scheduler helper functionsRobert Richter2011-12-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch introduces x86 perf scheduler code helper functions. We need this to later add more complex functionality to support overlapping counter constraints (next patch). The algorithm is modified so that the range of weight values is now generated from the constraints. There shouldn't be other functional changes. With the helper functions the scheduler is controlled. There are functions to initialize, traverse the event list, find unused counters etc. The scheduler keeps its own state. V3: * Added macro for_each_set_bit_cont(). * Changed functions interfaces of perf_sched_find_counter() and perf_sched_next_event() to use bool as return value. * Added some comments to make code better understandable. V4: * Fix broken event assignment if weight of the first event is not wmin (perf_sched_init()).

On Intel CPU this > results in two writes into PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL MSR per tick. On bare metal > it does not cause significant slowdown, but when running perf in a virtual > machine it leads to 20% slowdown on my machine. Cure this by keeping a perf_event_context::nr_freq counter that counts the number of active events that require frequency adjustments and use this in a similar fashion to the already existing nr_events != nr_active test in perf_rotate_context(). By being able to exclude both rotation and frequency adjustments a-priory for the common case we can avoid the otherwise superfluous PMU disable.

| * | | x86: Fix instruction decoder to handle grouped AVX instructionsMasami Hiramatsu2011-12-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For reducing memory usage of attribute table, x86 instruction decoder puts "Group" attribute only on "no-last-prefix" attribute table (same as vex_p == 0 case). Thus, the decoder should look no-last-prefix table first, and then only if it is not a group, move on to "with-last-prefix" table (vex_p != 0). However, current implementation, inat_get_avx_attribute() looks with-last-prefix directly. So, when decoding a grouped AVX instruction, the decoder fails to find correct group because there is no "Group" attribute on the table. This ends up with the mis-decoding of instructions, as Ingo reported in http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1214103 This patch fixes it to check no-last-prefix table first even if that is an AVX instruction, and get an attribute from "with last-prefix" table only if that is not a group.

It consists of starting a simple workload, setting up just one event to monitor ("cycles") requesting that several PERF_SAMPLE_ fields be present in all events. It then will check that the expected PERF_RECORD_ events are produced and will sanity check all its fields. Some checks performed: . PERF_SAMPLE_TIME monotonically increases. . PERF_SAMPLE_CPU is the one requested with sched_setaffinity . PERF_SAMPLE_TID and PERF_SAMPLE_PID matches the one we forked in perf_evlist__prepare_workload and that is stored in evlist->workload.pid . For the events where these fields are also present in its pre-sample_id_all fields (e.g. event->mmap.pid), that they are what is expected too. .
