* perf/x86: Honor the architectural performance monitoring versionPalik, Imre2015-06-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit 2c33645d366d13b969d936b68b9f4875b1fdddea upstream. Architectural performance monitoring, version 1, doesn't support fixed counters. Currently, even if a hypervisor advertises support for architectural performance monitoring version 1, perf may still try to use the fixed counters, as the constraints are set up based on the CPU model. This patch ensures that perf honors the architectural performance monitoring version returned by CPUID, and it only uses the fixed counters for version 2 and above. (Some of the ideas in this patch came from Peter Zijlstra.)

* perf/x86/intel/bts: Fix DS area sharing with x86_pmu eventsAlexander Shishkin2015-06-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit 6b099d9b040b0f3d0aec05b560d7caf879af5077 upstream. Currently, the intel_bts driver relies on the DS area allocated by the x86_pmu code in its event_init() path, which is a bug: creating a BTS event while no x86_pmu events are present results in a NULL pointer dereference. The same DS area is also used by PEBS sampling, which makes it quite a bit trickier to have a separate one for intel_bts' purposes. This patch makes intel_bts driver use the same DS allocation and reference counting code as x86_pmu to make sure it is always present when either intel_bts or x86_pmu need it.

| * perf/x86: Tweak broken BIOS rules during check_hw_exists()Don Zickus2015-05-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I stumbled upon an AMD box that had the BIOS using a hardware performance counter. Instead of printing out a warning and continuing, it failed and blocked further perf counter usage. Looking through the history, I found this commit: a5ebe0ba3dff ("perf/x86: Check all MSRs before passing hw check") which tweaked the rules for a Xen guest on an almost identical box and now changed the behaviour. Unfortunately the rules were tweaked incorrectly and will always lead to MSR failures even though the MSRs are completely fine. What happens now is in arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perf_event.c::check_hw_exists(): <snip> for (i = 0; i < x86_pmu.num_counters; i++) { reg = x86_pmu_config_addr(i); ret = rdmsrl_safe(reg, &val); if (ret) goto msr_fail; if (val & ARCH_PERFMON_EVENTSEL_ENABLE) { bios_fail = 1; val_fail = val; reg_fail = reg; } } <snip> /* * Read the current value, change it and read it back to see if it * matches, this is needed to detect certain hardware emulators * (qemu/kvm) that don't trap on the MSR access and always return 0s. */ reg = x86_pmu_event_addr(0); ^^^^ if the first perf counter is enabled, then this routine will always fail because the counter is running. :-( if (rdmsrl_safe(reg, &val)) goto msr_fail; val ^= 0xffffUL; ret = wrmsrl_safe(reg, val); ret |= rdmsrl_safe(reg, &val_new); if (ret || val != val_new) goto msr_fail; The above bios_fail used to be a 'goto' which is why it worked in the past. Further, most vendors have migrated to using fixed counters to hide their evilness hence this problem rarely shows up now days except on a few old boxes. I fixed my problem and kept the spirit of the original Xen fix, by recording a safe non-enable register to be used safely for the reading/writing check. Because it is not enabled, this passes on bare metal boxes (like metal), but should continue to throw an msr_fail on Xen guests because the register isn't emulated yet. Now I get a proper bios_fail error message and Xen should still see their msr_fail message (untested).

| * perf/x86/intel/pt: Untangle pt_buffer_reset_markers()Alexander Shishkin2015-05-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, pt_buffer_reset_markers() is a difficult to read knot of arithmetics with a redundant check for multiple-entry TOPA capability, a commented out wakeup marker placement and a logical error wrt to stop marker placement. The latter happens when write head is not page aligned and results in stop marker being placed one page earlier than it actually should. All these problems only affect PT implementations that support multiple-entry TOPA tables (read: proper scatter-gather). For single-entry TOPA implementations, there is no functional impact. This patch deals with all of the above. Tested on both single-entry and multiple-entry TOPA PT implementations.

This went mostly un-noticed because repeated calls of x86_pmu::get_event_constraints() would give the same result. And x86_pmu::put_event_constraints() would mostly not do anything. Commit e979121b1b15 ("perf/x86/intel: Implement cross-HT corruption bug workaround") made the situation much worse by actually setting the event->hw.constraint value to NULL, so when validation and actual scheduling interact we get NULL ptr derefs. Fix it by removing the constraint pointer from the event and move it back to an array, this time in cpuc instead of on the stack. validate_group() x86_schedule_events() event->hw.constraint = c; # store <context switch> perf_task_event_sched_in() ... x86_schedule_events(); event->hw.constraint = c2; # store ... put_event_constraints(event); # assume failure to schedule intel_put_event_constraints() event->hw.constraint = NULL; <context switch end> c = event->hw.constraint; # read -> NULL if (!test_bit(hwc->idx, c->idxmsk)) # <- *BOOM* NULL deref This in particular is possible when the event in question is a cpu-wide event and group-leader, where the validate_group() tries to add an event to the group.

Event PAGE_WALKS.I_SIDE_WALK should be used to count iTLB-load-misses. This event counts when an instruction (I) page walk is completed or started. Since a page walk implies a TLB miss, the number of TLB misses can be counted by counting the number of pagewalks. DMND_DATA_RD counts both demand and DCU prefetch data reads. However, LLC-load-misses should only count demand reads. There is no way to not include prefetches with a single counter on SLM. So the LLC-load-misses support should be removed on SLM.

This breaks Xen PV guests who do not want to load SS with__KERNEL_DS. Since the problem that the commit is trying to address would have to be fixed in the hypervisor (if it in fact exists under Xen) there is no reason to set X86_BUG_SYSRET_SS_ATTRS flag for PV VPCUs here. This can be easily achieved by adding x86_hyper_xen_hvm.set_cpu_features op which will clear this flag. (And since this structure is no longer HVM-specific we should do some renaming).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | AMD CPUs don't reinitialize the SS descriptor on SYSRET, so SYSRET with SS == 0 results in an invalid usermode state in which SS is apparently equal to __USER_DS but causes #SS if used. Work around the issue by setting SS to __KERNEL_DS __switch_to, thus ensuring that SYSRET never happens with SS set to NULL. This was exposed by a recent vDSO cleanup.

Furthermore, the control flow in this function is messy, with cleanup labels mixed with direct returns. Fix the bug and clean up the code by converting it to a straight fast path for the regular non-failing case, plus a clear sequence of cascading goto labels to do all cleanup. NOTE: I materially changed the existing clean up logic in the pt_event_start() failure case to use the direct perf_aux_output_end() path, not pt_event_del(), because perf_aux_output_end() is enough here.

This allows user-defined instrumentation on a live kernel image that can never crash, hang or interfere with the kernel negatively. (Right now it's limited to root-only, but in the future we might allow unprivileged use as well.) (Alexei Starovoitov) - Another non-trivial feature is per event clockid support: this allows, amongst other things, the selection of different clock sources for event timestamps traced via perf. This feature is sought by people who'd like to merge perf generated events with external events that were measured with different clocks: - cluster wide profiling - for system wide tracing with user-space events, - JIT profiling events etc. Matching perf tooling support is added as well, available via the -k, --clockid <clockid> parameter to perf record et al. (Peter Zijlstra) Hardware enablement kernel changes: - x86 Intel Processor Trace (PT) support: which is a hardware tracer on steroids, available on Broadwell CPUs. The hardware trace stream is directly output into the user-space ring-buffer, using the 'AUX' data format extension that was added to the perf core to support hardware constraints such as the necessity to have the tracing buffer physically contiguous. This patch-set was developed for two years and this is the result. A simple way to make use of this is to use BTS tracing, the PT driver emulates BTS output - available via the 'intel_bts' PMU. More explicit PT specific tooling support is in the works as well - will probably be ready by 4.2. (Alexander Shishkin, Peter Zijlstra) - x86 Intel Cache QoS Monitoring (CQM) support: this is a hardware feature of Intel Xeon CPUs that allows the measurement and allocation/partitioning of caches to individual workloads. These kernel changes expose the measurement side as a new PMU driver, which exposes various QoS related PMU events. (The partitioning change is work in progress and is planned to be merged as a cgroup extension.) (Matt Fleming, Peter Zijlstra; CPU feature detection by Peter P Waskiewicz Jr) - x86 Intel Haswell LBR call stack support: this is a new Haswell feature that allows the hardware recording of call chains, plus tooling support. To activate this feature you have to enable it via the new 'lbr' call-graph recording option: perf record --call-graph lbr perf report or: perf top --call-graph lbr This hardware feature is a lot faster than stack walk or dwarf based unwinding, but has some limitations: - It reuses the current LBR facility, so LBR call stack and branch record can not be enabled at the same time. - It is only available for user-space callchains. (Yan, Zheng) - x86 Intel Broadwell CPU support and various event constraints and event table fixes for earlier models. (Andi Kleen) - x86 Intel HT CPUs event scheduling workarounds. This is a complex CPU bug affecting the SNB,IVB,HSW families that results in counter value corruption. The mitigation code is automatically enabled and is transparent. (Maria Dimakopoulou, Stephane Eranian) The perf tooling side had a ton of changes in this cycle as well, so I'm only able to list the user visible changes here, in addition to the tooling changes outlined above: User visible changes affecting all tools: - Improve support of compressed kernel modules (Jiri Olsa) - Save DSO loading errno to better report errors (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - Bash completion for subcommands (Yunlong Song) - Add 'I' event modifier for perf_event_attr.exclude_idle bit (Jiri Olsa) - Support missing -f to override perf.data file ownership. (Yunlong Song) - Show the first event with an invalid filter (David Ahern, Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) User visible changes in individual tools: 'perf data': New tool for converting perf.data to other formats, initially for the CTF (Common Trace Format) from LTTng (Jiri Olsa, Sebastian Siewior) 'perf diff': Add --kallsyms option (David Ahern) 'perf list': Allow listing events with 'tracepoint' prefix (Yunlong Song) Sort the output of the command (Yunlong Song) 'perf kmem': Respect -i option (Jiri Olsa) Print big numbers using thousands' group (Namhyung Kim) Allow -v option (Namhyung Kim) Fix alignment of slab result table (Namhyung Kim) 'perf probe': Support multiple probes on different binaries on the same command line (Masami Hiramatsu) Support unnamed union/structure members data collection. (Masami Hiramatsu) Check kprobes blacklist when adding new events. (Masami Hiramatsu) 'perf record': Teach 'perf record' about perf_event_attr.clockid (Peter Zijlstra) Support recording running/enabled time (Andi Kleen) 'perf sched': Improve the performance of 'perf sched replay' on high CPU core count machines (Yunlong Song) 'perf report' and 'perf top': Allow annotating entries in callchains in the hists browser (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) Indicate which callchain entries are annotated in the TUI hists browser (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) Add pid/tid filtering to 'report' and 'script' commands (David Ahern) Consider PERF_RECORD_ events with cpumode == 0 in 'perf top', removing one cause of long term memory usage buildup, i.e. not processing PERF_RECORD_EXIT events (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) 'perf stat': Report unsupported events properly (Suzuki K. Poulose) Output running time and run/enabled ratio in CSV mode (Andi Kleen) 'perf trace': Handle legacy syscalls tracepoints (David Ahern, Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) Only insert blank duration bracket when tracing syscalls (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) Filter out the trace pid when no threads are specified (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) Dump stack on segfaults (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) No need to explicitely enable evsels for workload started from perf, let it be enabled via perf_event_attr.enable_on_exec, removing some events that take place in the 'perf trace' before a workload is really started by it. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) Allow mixing with tracepoints and suppressing plain syscalls.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Dan Carpenter pointed out that the control flow in pt_pmu_hw_init() is a bit messy: for example the kfree(de_attrs) is entirely superfluous. Another problem is the inconsistent mixing of label based and direct return error handling. Add modern, label based error handling instead and clean up the code a bit as well. Note that we'll still do a kfree(NULL) in the normal case - this does not matter as this is an init path and kfree() returns early if it sees a NULL.

| * perf/x86/intel: Make the HT bug workaround conditional on HT enabledStephane Eranian2015-04-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch disables the PMU HT bug when Hyperthreading (HT) is disabled. We cannot do this test immediately when perf_events is initialized. We need to wait until the topology information is setup properly. As such, we register a later initcall, check the topology and potentially disable the workaround. To do this, we need to ensure there is no user of the PMU. At this point of the boot, the only user is the NMI watchdog, thus we disable it during the switch and re-enable it right after. Having the workaround disabled when it is not needed provides some benefits by limiting the overhead is time and space. The workaround still ensures correct scheduling of the corrupting memory events (0xd0, 0xd1, 0xd2) when HT is off. Those events can only be measured on counters 0-3. Something else the current kernel did not handle correctly.

| * perf/x86/intel: Limit to half counters when the HT workaround is enabled, to ↵Stephane Eranian2015-04-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | avoid exclusive mode starvation This patch limits the number of counters available to each CPU when the HT bug workaround is enabled. This is necessary to avoid situation of counter starvation. Such can arise from configuration where one HT thread, HT0, is using all 4 counters with corrupting events which require exclusion the the sibling HT, HT1. In such case, HT1 would not be able to schedule any event until HT0 is done. To mitigate this problem, this patch artificially limits the number of counters to 2. That way, we can gurantee that at least 2 counters are not in exclusive mode and therefore allow the sibling thread to schedule events of the same type (system vs. per-thread). The 2 counters are not determined in advance. We simply set the limit to two events per HT. This helps mitigate starvation in case of events with specific counter constraints such a PREC_DIST. Note that this does not elimintate the starvation is all cases. But it is better than not having it. (Solution suggested by Peter Zjilstra.)

The errata are documented for each processor in their respective specification update documents: - SandyBridge: BJ122 - IvyBridge: BV98 - Haswell: HSD29 The bug causes silent counter corruption across hyperthreads only when measuring certain memory events (0xd0, 0xd1, 0xd2, 0xd3). Counters measuring those events may leak counts to the sibling counter. For instance, counter 0, thread 0 measuring event 0xd0, may leak to counter 0, thread 1, regardless of the event measured there. The size of the leak is not predictible. It all depends on the workload and the state of each sibling hyper-thread. The corrupting events do undercount as a consequence of the leak. The leak is compensated automatically only when the sibling counter measures the exact same corrupting event AND the workload is on the two threads is the same. Given, there is no way to guarantee this, a work-around is necessary. Furthermore, there is a serious problem if the leaked count is added to a low-occurrence event. In that case the corruption on the low occurrence event can be very large, e.g., orders of magnitude. There is no HW or FW workaround for this problem. The bug is very easy to reproduce on a loaded system. Here is an example on a Haswell client, where CPU0, CPU4 are siblings. We load the CPUs with a simple triad app streaming large floating-point vector. We use 0x81d0 corrupting event (MEM_UOPS_RETIRED:ALL_LOADS) and 0x20cc (ROB_MISC_EVENTS:LBR_INSERTS). Given we are not using the LBR, the 0x20cc event should be zero. $ taskset -c 0 triad & $ taskset -c 4 triad & $ perf stat -a -C 0 -e r81d0 sleep 100 & $ perf stat -a -C 4 -r20cc sleep 10 Performance counter stats for 'system wide': 139 277 291 r20cc 10,000969126 seconds time elapsed In this example, 0x81d0 and r20cc ar eusing sinling counters on CPU0 and CPU4. 0x81d0 leaks into 0x20cc and corrupts it from 0 to 139 millions occurrences. This patch provides a software workaround to this problem by modifying the way events are scheduled onto counters by the kernel. The patch forces cross-thread mutual exclusion between counters in case a corrupting event is measured by one of the hyper-threads. If thread 0, counter 0 is measuring event 0xd0, then nothing can be measured on counter 0, thread 1. If no corrupting event is measured on any hyper-thread, event scheduling proceeds as before. The same example run with the workaround enabled, yield the correct answer: $ taskset -c 0 triad & $ taskset -c 4 triad & $ perf stat -a -C 0 -e r81d0 sleep 100 & $ perf stat -a -C 4 -r20cc sleep 10 Performance counter stats for 'system wide': 0 r20cc 10,000969126 seconds time elapsed The patch does provide correctness for all non-corrupting events. It does not "repatriate" the leaked counts back to the leaking counter. This is planned for a second patch series. This patch series makes this repatriation more easy by guaranteeing the sibling counter is not measuring any useful event. The patch introduces dynamic constraints for events. That means that events which did not have constraints, i.e., could be measured on any counters, may now be constrained to a subset of the counters depending on what is going on the sibling thread. The algorithm is similar to a cache coherency protocol. We call it XSU in reference to Exclusive, Shared, Unused, the 3 possible states of a PMU counter. As a consequence of the workaround, users may see an increased amount of event multiplexing, even in situtations where there are fewer events than counters measured on a CPU. Patch has been tested on all three impacted processors. Note that when HT is off, there is no corruption. However, the workaround is still enabled, yet not costing too much. Adding a dynamic detection of HT on turned out to be complex are requiring too much to code to be justified. This patch addresses the issue when PEBS is not used. A subsequent patch fixes the problem when PEBS is used.
