* perf, x86: Catch spurious interrupts after disabling countersRobert Richter2010-09-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some cpus still deliver spurious interrupts after disabling a counter. This caused 'undelivered NMI' messages. This patch fixes this.

* perf, x86: Try to handle unknown nmis with an enabled PMURobert Richter2010-09-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the PMU is enabled it is valid to have unhandled nmis, two events could trigger 'simultaneously' raising two back-to-back NMIs. If the first NMI handles both, the latter will be empty and daze the CPU. The solution to avoid an 'unknown nmi' massage in this case was simply to stop the nmi handler chain when the PMU is enabled by stating the nmi was handled. This has the drawback that a) we can not detect unknown nmis anymore, and b) subsequent nmi handlers are not called. This patch addresses this. Now, we check this unknown NMI if it could be a PMU back-to-back NMI. Otherwise we pass it and let the kernel handle the unknown nmi. This is a debug log: cpu #6, nmi #32333, skip_nmi #32330, handled = 1, time = 1934364430 cpu #6, nmi #32334, skip_nmi #32330, handled = 1, time = 1934704616 cpu #6, nmi #32335, skip_nmi #32336, handled = 2, time = 1936032320 cpu #6, nmi #32336, skip_nmi #32336, handled = 0, time = 1936034139 cpu #6, nmi #32337, skip_nmi #32336, handled = 1, time = 1936120100 cpu #6, nmi #32338, skip_nmi #32336, handled = 1, time = 1936404607 cpu #6, nmi #32339, skip_nmi #32336, handled = 1, time = 1937983416 cpu #6, nmi #32340, skip_nmi #32341, handled = 2, time = 1938201032 cpu #6, nmi #32341, skip_nmi #32341, handled = 0, time = 1938202830 cpu #6, nmi #32342, skip_nmi #32341, handled = 1, time = 1938443743 cpu #6, nmi #32343, skip_nmi #32341, handled = 1, time = 1939956552 cpu #6, nmi #32344, skip_nmi #32341, handled = 1, time = 1940073224 cpu #6, nmi #32345, skip_nmi #32341, handled = 1, time = 1940485677 cpu #6, nmi #32346, skip_nmi #32347, handled = 2, time = 1941947772 cpu #6, nmi #32347, skip_nmi #32347, handled = 1, time = 1941949818 cpu #6, nmi #32348, skip_nmi #32347, handled = 0, time = 1941951591 Uhhuh.

* | perf_events: Fix event scheduling issues introduced by transactional APIStephane Eranian2010-05-31
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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, trace: Fix !x86 build bugPeter Zijlstra2010-05-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Patch b7e2ecef92 (perf, trace: Optimize tracepoints by removing IRQ-disable from perf/tracepoint interaction) made the unfortunate mistake of assuming the world is x86 only, correct this. The problem was that perf_fetch_caller_regs() did local_save_flags() into regs->flags, and I re-used that to remove another local_save_flags(), forgetting !x86 doesn't have regs->flags. Do the reverse, remove the local_save_flags() from perf_fetch_caller_regs() and let the ftrace site do the local_save_flags() instead.

This new field describes the required precision of the PERF_SAMPLE_IP field: 0 - SAMPLE_IP can have arbitrary skid 1 - SAMPLE_IP must have constant skid 2 - SAMPLE_IP requested to have 0 skid 3 - SAMPLE_IP must have 0 skid And modify the Intel PEBS code accordingly. The PEBS implementation now supports up to precise_ip == 2, where we perform the IP fixup. Also s/PERF_RECORD_MISC_EXACT/&_IP/ to clarify its meaning, this bit should be set for each PERF_SAMPLE_IP field known to match the actual instruction triggering the event. This new scheme allows for a PEBS mode that uses the buffer for more than a single event.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There may exist constraints with a cmask set to zero. In this case for_each_event_constraint() will not work properly. Now weight is used instead of the cmask for loop exit detection.

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.

This patch adds macros for the bit masks and removes local defines. The function intel_pmu_raw_event() becomes x86_pmu_raw_event() which is generic for x86 models and same also for p6.

Fix this by using a struct stack_frame with 32-bit pointers when the TIF_IA32 flag is set. Note that TIF_IA32 flag must be used, and not is_compat_task(), because the latter is only set when the 32-bit process is executing a syscall, which may not always be the case (when tracing page fault events for example).

Fix up the AMD NorthBridge initialization code by allocating from CPU_UP_PREPARE and installing it from CPU_STARTING once we have the proper nb_id. It also properly deals with the allocation failing.

The event hence gets filtered in perf_swevent_add(). Scheduler's context switches events use task_pt_regs() to get the context when the event occured which is a wrong thing to do as this won't give us the place in the kernel where we went to sleep but the place where we left userspace. The result is even more wrong if we switch from a kernel thread. Use the hot regs snapshot for both events as they belong to the non-interrupt/exception based events family. Unlike page faults or so that provide the regs matching the exact origin of the event, we need to save the current context. This makes the task migration event working and fix the context switch callchains and origin ip.

P4 uses a tuple of ESCR+CCCR+COUNTER MSR registers to handle perfomance monitoring events. A few implementational details: 1) We need a separate x86_pmu::hw_config helper in struct x86_pmu since register bit-fields are quite different from P6, Core and later cpu series. 2) For the same reason is a x86_pmu::schedule_events helper introduced. 3) hw_perf_event::config consists of packed ESCR+CCCR values. It's allowed since in reality both registers only use a half of their size. Of course before making a real write into a particular MSR we need to unpack the value and extend it to a proper size. 4) The tuple of packed ESCR+CCCR in hw_perf_event::config doesn't describe the memory address of ESCR MSR register so that we need to keep a mapping between these tuples used and available ESCR (various P4 events may use same ESCRs but not simultaneously), for this sake every active event has a per-cpu map of hw_perf_event::idx <--> ESCR addresses. 5) Since hw_perf_event::idx is an offset to counter/control register we need to lift X86_PMC_MAX_GENERIC up, otherwise kernel strips it down to 8 registers and event armed may never be turned off (ie the bit in active_mask is set but the loop never reaches this index to check), thanks to Peter Zijlstra Restrictions: - No cascaded counters support (do we ever need them?) - No dependent events support (so PERF_COUNT_HW_INSTRUCTIONS doesn't work for now) - There are events with same counters which can't work simultaneously (need to use intersected ones due to broken counter 1) - No PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_ events yet Todo: - Implement dependent events - Need proper hashing for event opcodes (no linear search, good for debugging stage but not in real loads) - Some events counted during a clock cycle -- need to set threshold for them and count every clock cycle just to get summary statistics (ie to behave the same way as other PMUs do) - Need to swicth to use event_constraints - To support RAW events we need to encode a global list of P4 events into p4_templates - Cache events need to be added Event support status matrix: Event status ----------------------------- cycles works cache-references works cache-misses works branch-misses works bus-cycles partially (does not work on 64bit cpu with HT enabled) instruction doesnt work (needs dependent event [mop tagging]) branches doesnt work Signed-off-by: Cyrill Gorcunov <gorcunov@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: Lin Ming <ming.m.lin@intel.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Cc: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> LKML-Reference: <20100311165439.GB5129@lenovo> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Events that trigger overflows by interrupting a context can use get_irq_regs() or task_pt_regs() to retrieve the state when the event triggered. But this is not the case for some other class of events like trace events as tracepoints are executed in the same context than the code that triggered the event. It means we need a different api to capture the regs there, namely we need a hot snapshot to get the most important informations for perf: the instruction pointer to get the event origin, the frame pointer for the callchain, the code segment for user_mode() tests (we always use __KERNEL_CS as trace events always occur from the kernel) and the eflags for further purposes. v2: rename perf_save_regs to perf_fetch_caller_regs as per Masami's suggestion.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Saner PERF_CAPABILITIES support, which also exposes pebs_trap. Use that latter to make PEBS's use of LBR conditional since a fault-like pebs should already report the correct IP. ( As of this writing there is no known hardware that implements !pebs_trap ) Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@infradead.org> Cc: paulus@samba.org Cc: eranian@google.com Cc: robert.richter@amd.com Cc: fweisbec@gmail.com LKML-Reference: <20100304140100.770650663@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
* | perf, x86: use LBR for PEBS IP+1 fixupPeter Zijlstra2010-03-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Use the LBR to fix up the PEBS IP+1 issue. As said, PEBS reports the next instruction, here we use the LBR to find the last branch and from that construct the actual IP. If the IP matches the LBR-TO, we use LBR-FROM, otherwise we use the LBR-TO address as the beginning of the last basic block and decode forward. Once we find a match to the current IP, we use the previous location. This patch introduces a new ABI element: PERF_RECORD_MISC_EXACT, which conveys that the reported IP (PERF_SAMPLE_IP) is the exact instruction that caused the event (barring CPU errata). The fixup can fail due to various reasons: 1) LBR contains invalid data (quite possible) 2) part of the basic block got paged out 3) the reported IP isn't part of the basic block (see 1) Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@infradead.org> Cc: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@redhat.com> Cc: "Zhang, Yanmin" <yanmin_zhang@linux.intel.com> Cc: paulus@samba.org Cc: eranian@google.com Cc: robert.richter@amd.com Cc: fweisbec@gmail.com LKML-Reference: <20100304140100.619375431@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
