| * perf_event: Optimize perf_output_lock()Peter Zijlstra2009-11-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The purpose of perf_output_{un,}lock() is to: 1) avoid publishing incomplete data [ possible when publishing a head that is ahead of an entry that is still being written ] 2) guarantee fwd progress [ a simple refcount on pending writers doesn't need to drop to 0, making it so would end up implementing something like forced quiecent states of RCU ] To satisfy the above without undue complexity it serializes between CPUs, this means that a pending writer can only be the same cpu in a nested context, and since (under normal operation) a cpu always makes progress we're good -- if the head is only published when the bottom most writer completes. Now we don't need to disable IRQs in order to serialize between CPUs, disabling preemption ought to be sufficient, esp since we already deal with nesting due to NMIs. This avoids potentially expensive (and needless) local IRQ disable/enable ops.

Alignment faults: When a load or store is not aligned properly. Emulation faults: When an instruction is emulated in software. Both cause a very significant slowdown (100x or worse), so identifying and fixing them is very important.

They are used only in two drivers: 1. savagefb - and cause bug #11248 2. uvesafb Usage of these operations is misunderstood in both drivers so kill these operations, fix the bug #11248 and avoid confusion in the future. Tested on Savage 3D/MV card and the patch fixes the bug #11248. The frame buffer layer uses these funtions during switch between graphics and text mode of the console, but these drivers saves state before switching of the frame buffer (in the fb_open) and after releasing it (in the fb_release). This defeats the purpose of these operations.

Whenever a swevent is scheduled out, the hrtimer is canceled. When it is scheduled back in, the timer is restarted. This happens every scheduler tick, which means the timer never expired because it was getting repeatedly restarted over and over with the same period. To fix that, save the remaining time when disabling; when reenabling, use that saved time as the period instead of the user-specified sampling period. Also, move the starting and stopping of the hrtimers to helper functions instead of duplicating the code.

Unfortunately, storing a flag in the kparam struct was a bad idea: it's rodata so setting it causes an oops on some archs. But that's not all: 1) module_param_array() on charp doesn't work reliably, since we use an uninitialized temporary struct kernel_param. 2) there's a fundamental race if a module uses this parameter and then it's changed: they will still access the old, freed, memory. The simplest fix (ie. for 2.6.32) is to never free the memory. This prevents all these problems, at cost of a memory leak. In practice, there are only 18 places where a charp is writable via sysfs, and all are root-only writable.

So it is surely bug for this function's return value to be ignored. The caller is probably going to use the incorrect original pointer. So mark it __must_check to prevent this frm happening (as it has before).

While the change itself is a very good one, it can break userspace applications. For example if a userspace tool wanted to get the ID of virtio_net it used to include virtio_net.h. This does no longer work, since virtio_net.h does not include virtio_ids.h. This patch moves all "#include <linux/virtio_ids.h>" from the C files into the header files, making the header files compatible with the old ones. In addition, this patch exports virtio_ids.h to userspace.

Basically, you can enable whatever set of trace events through perf but if this event is part of the set, the only result we can get is a long list of lock_acquire events of rcu read lock, and only that. This is because of a recursion inside perf. 1) When a trace event is triggered, it will fill a per cpu buffer and submit it to perf. 2) Perf will commit this event but will also protect some data using rcu_read_lock 3) A recursion appears: rcu_read_lock triggers a lock_acquire event that will fill the per cpu event and then submit the buffer to perf. 4) Perf detects a recursion and ignores it 5) Perf continues its work on the previous event, but its buffer has been overwritten by the lock_acquire event, it has then been turned into a lock_acquire event of rcu read lock Such scenario also happens with lock_release with rcu_read_unlock(). We could turn the rcu_read_lock() into __rcu_read_lock() to drop the lock debugging from perf fast path, but that would make us lose the rcu debugging and that doesn't prevent from other possible kind of recursion from perf in the future. This patch adds a recursion protection based on a counter on the perf trace per cpu buffers to solve the problem. -v2: Fixed lost whitespace, added reviewed-by tag Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@redhat.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com> Cc: Jason Baron <jbaron@redhat.com> LKML-Reference: <1257477185-7838-1-git-send-email-fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Hence the bkl trace event header must be included from smp_lock.h. This raises some nasty circular header dependencies: linux/smp_lock.h -> trace/events/bkl.h -> trace/define_trace.h -> trace/ftrace.h -> linux/ftrace_event.h -> linux/hardirq.h -> linux/smp_lock.h This results in incomplete event declarations, spurious event definitions and other kind of funny behaviours. This is hardly fixable without ugly workarounds. So instead, we push the file name, line number and function name as lock_kernel() parameters, so that we only deal with the trace event header from lib/kernel_lock.c This adds two parameters to lock_kernel() and unlock_kernel() but it should be fine wrt to performances because this pair dos not seem to be called in fast paths.

This opens the door for userspace tools to perform statistics about the callsites that use it, dependencies with other locks (by pairing the trace with lock events), use with recursivity and so on... The {__reacquire,release}_kernel_lock() events are not traced because these are called from schedule, thus the sched events are sufficient to trace them. Example of a trace: hald-addon-stor-4152 [000] 165.875501: unlock_kernel: depth: 0, fs/block_dev.c:1358 __blkdev_put() hald-addon-stor-4152 [000] 167.832974: lock_kernel: depth: 0, fs/block_dev.c:1167 __blkdev_get() How to get the callsites that acquire it recursively: cd /debug/tracing/events/bkl echo "lock_depth > 0" > filter firefox-4951 [001] 206.276967: unlock_kernel: depth: 1, fs/reiserfs/super.c:575 reiserfs_dirty_inode() You can also filter by file and/or line. v2: Use of FILTER_PTR_STRING attribute for files and lines fields to make them traceable.

And exported the number of read and write requests in progress seperately through sysfs. But Corrado Zoccolo <czoccolo@gmail.com> reported getting strange output from "iostat -kx 2". Global values for service time and utilization were garbage. For interval values, utilization was always 100%, and service time is higher than normal. So this was reverted by commit 0f78ab9899e9d6acb09d5465def618704255963b The problem was in part_round_stats_single(), I missed the following: if (now == part->stamp) return; - if (part->in_flight) { + if (part_in_flight(part)) { __part_stat_add(cpu, part, time_in_queue, part_in_flight(part) * (now - part->stamp)); __part_stat_add(cpu, part, io_ticks, (now - part->stamp)); With this chunk included, the reported regression gets fixed.
