* perf_counter: move PERF_RECORD_TIMEPeter Zijlstra2009-04-08
| | | | | | | | | | | Move PERF_RECORD_TIME so that all the fixed length items come before the variable length ones.

| | | | | | | | | | | Similar to the mmap data stream, add one that tracks the task COMM field, so that the userspace reporting knows what to call a task.

* perf_counter: use misc field to widen typePeter Zijlstra2009-04-08

* perf_counter: provide misc bits in the event headerPeter Zijlstra2009-04-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Limit the size of each record to 64k (or should we count in multiples of u64 and have a 512K limit?), this gives 16 bits or spare room in the header, which we can use for misc bits, so as to not have to grow the record with u64 every time we have a few bits to report.

Every hung_task_batch_count checks, the rcu lock is never held for a too long time. Keeping the critical section small minimizes time preemption is disabled and keeps rcu grace periods small. To prevent following a stale pointer, get_task_struct is called on g and t. To verify that g and t have not been unhashed while outside the critical section, the task states are checked. The design was proposed by Frédéric Weisbecker.

We debugged it down to the recording of the function with the CALLER_ADDR2 macro. This is used to get the location of the caller to schedule. But the problem comes when schedule is called by assmebly. In the case that Maneesh had, retint_careful would call schedule. But retint_careful does not set up a proper frame pointer. CALLER_ADDR2 is defined as __builtin_return_address(2). This produces the following assembly in the wakeup tracer code. mov 0x0(%rbp),%rcx <--- get the frame pointer of the caller mov %r14d,%r8d mov 0xf2de8e(%rip),%rdi mov 0x8(%rcx),%rsi <-- this is __builtin_return_address(1) mov 0x28(%rdi,%rax,8),%rbx mov (%rcx),%rax <-- get the frame pointer of the caller's caller mov %r12,%rcx mov 0x8(%rax),%rdx <-- this is __builtin_return_address(2) At the reading of 0x8(%rax) Maneesh's machine would take a fault. The reason is that retint_careful did not set up the return address and the content of %rax here was zero. To verify this, I sent Maneesh a patch to create a frame pointer in retint_careful. He ran the test again but this time he would take the same type of fault from sysret_careful. The retint_careful was no longer an issue, but there are other callers that still have issues. Instead of adding frame pointers for all callers to schedule (in possibly all archs), it is much safer to simply not use CALLER_ADDR2. This loses out on knowing what called schedule, but the function tracer will help there if needed.

To achive this the device driver requests the interrupt with request_threaded_irq() and provides additionally to the handler a thread function. The handler function is called in hard interrupt context and needs to check whether the interrupt originated from the device. If the interrupt originated from the device then the handler can either return IRQ_HANDLED or IRQ_WAKE_THREAD. IRQ_HANDLED is returned when no further action is required. IRQ_WAKE_THREAD causes the genirq code to invoke the threaded (main) handler. When IRQ_WAKE_THREAD is returned handler must have disabled the interrupt on the device level. This is mandatory for shared interrupt handlers, but we need to do it as well for obscure x86 hardware where disabling an interrupt on the IO_APIC level redirects the interrupt to the legacy PIC interrupt lines.

This allows finer control of pdflush on both large and small machines. The rationale is simply one size does not fit all. Admins on large and/or small systems may want to tune the min/max pdflush thread count to best suit their needs. Right now the min/max is hardcoded to 2/8. While probably a fair estimate for smaller machines, large machines with large numbers of CPUs and large numbers of filesystems/block devices may benefit from larger numbers of threads working on different block devices. Even if the background flushing algorithm is radically changed, it is still likely that multiple threads will be involved and admins would still desire finer control on the min/max other than to have to recompile the kernel. The patch adds '/proc/sys/vm/nr_pdflush_threads_min' and '/proc/sys/vm/nr_pdflush_threads_max' with r/w permissions. The minimum value for nr_pdflush_threads_min is 1 and the maximum value is the current value of nr_pdflush_threads_max. This minimum is required since additional thread creation is performed in a pdflush thread itself. The minimum value for nr_pdflush_threads_max is the current value of nr_pdflush_threads_min and the maximum value can be 1000. Documentation/sysctl/vm.txt is also updated.

This was an impressively stupid patch. Firstly, we reset the SHF_ALLOC flag lower down in the same function, so the patch was useless. Even better, find_sec() ignores sections with SHF_ALLOC not set, so it breaks CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y with CONFIG_MODULE_FORCE_LOAD=n, which refuses to load the module since it can't find the __versions section.

This patch fixes it by introducing a __hrtimer_start_range_ns() method that will not use raise_softirq_irqoff() but __raise_softirq_irqoff() which avoids the wakeup. It then also changes schedule() to check for pending softirqs and do the wakeup then, I'm not quite sure I like this last bit, nor am I convinced its really needed.

However, the actual format had been binary, not text. This restores the original binary format, while also adding an origin CPU field (since ftrace doesn't expose the data per-CPU to userspace), and re-adding the timestamp field. It also drops arch-independent field sizing where it didn't make sense, so pointers won't always be 64 bits wide like they used to.
