In order to allow optimizing perf_pmu_sched_task() we must ensure perf_sched_cb_{inc,dec}() are no longer called from NMI context; this means that pmu::{start,stop}() can no longer use them. Prepare for this by reworking the whole large PEBS setup code. The current code relied on the cpuc->pebs_enabled state, however since that reflects the current active state as per pmu::{start,stop}() we can no longer rely on this. Introduce two counters: cpuc->n_pebs and cpuc->n_large_pebs which count the total number of PEBS events and the number of PEBS events that have FREERUNNING set, resp.. With this we can tell if the current setup requires a single record interrupt threshold or can use a larger buffer. This also improves the code in that it re-enables the large threshold once the PEBS event that required single record gets removed.

Groups of events are supposed to be scheduled atomically, such that it is possible to derive meaningful ratios between their values. We take great pains to achieve this when scheduling event groups to a PMU in group_sched_in(), calling {start,commit}_txn() (which fall back to perf_pmu_{disable,enable}() if necessary) to provide this guarantee. However we don't mirror this in group_sched_out(), and in some cases events will not be scheduled out atomically. For example, if we disable an event group with PERF_EVENT_IOC_DISABLE, we'll cross-call __perf_event_disable() for the group leader, and will call group_sched_out() without having first disabled the relevant PMU. We will disable/enable the PMU around each pmu->del() call, but between each call the PMU will be enabled and events may count. Avoid this by explicitly disabling and enabling the PMU around event removal in group_sched_out(), mirroring what we do in group_sched_in().

There's a perf stat bug easy to observer on a machine with only one cgroup: $ perf stat -e cycles -I 1000 -C 0 -G / # time counts unit events 1.000161699 <not counted> cycles / 2.000355591 <not counted> cycles / 3.000565154 <not counted> cycles / 4.000951350 <not counted> cycles / We'd expect some output there. The underlying problem is that there is an optimization in perf_cgroup_sched_{in,out}() that skips the switch of cgroup events if the old and new cgroups in a task switch are the same. This optimization interacts with the current code in two ways that cause a CPU context's cgroup (cpuctx->cgrp) to be NULL even if a cgroup event matches the current task. These are: 1. On creation of the first cgroup event in a CPU: In current code, cpuctx->cpu is only set in perf_cgroup_sched_in, but due to the aforesaid optimization, perf_cgroup_sched_in will run until the next cgroup switches in that CPU. This may happen late or never happen, depending on system's number of cgroups, CPU load, etc. 2. On deletion of the last cgroup event in a cpuctx: In list_del_event, cpuctx->cgrp is set NULL. Any new cgroup event will not be sched in because cpuctx->cgrp == NULL until a cgroup switch occurs and perf_cgroup_sched_in is executed (updating cpuctx->cgrp). This patch fixes both problems by setting cpuctx->cgrp in list_add_event, mirroring what list_del_event does when removing a cgroup event from CPU context, as introduced in: commit 68cacd29 ("perf_events: Fix stale ->cgrp pointer in update_cgrp_time_from_cpuctx()") With this patch, cpuctx->cgrp is always set/clear when installing/removing the first/last cgroup event in/from the CPU context. With cpuctx->cgrp correctly set, event_filter_match works as intended when events are sched in/out. After the fix, the output is as expected: $ perf stat -e cycles -I 1000 -a -G / # time counts unit events 1.004699159 627342882 cycles / 2.007397156 615272690 cycles / 3.010019057 616726074 cycles / Signed-off-by: David Carrillo-Cisneros <davidcc@google.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Kan Liang <kan.liang@intel.com> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Paul Turner <pjt@google.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Vegard Nossum <vegard.nossum@gmail.com> Cc: Vince Weaver <vincent.weaver@maine.edu> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1470124092-113192-1-git-send-email-davidcc@google.comSigned-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

Powerpc has Global Entry Point and Local Entry Point for functions. LEP catches call from both the GEP and the LEP. Symbol table of ELF contains GEP and Offset from which we can calculate LEP, but debuginfo does not have LEP info. Currently, perf prioritize symbol table over dwarf to probe on LEP for ppc64le. But when user tries to probe with function parameter, we fall back to using dwarf(i.e. GEP) and when function called via LEP, probe will never hit. For example: $ objdump -d vmlinux ... do_sys_open(): c0000000002eb4a0: e8 00 4c 3c addis r2,r12,232 c0000000002eb4a4: 60 00 42 38 addi r2,r2,96 c0000000002eb4a8: a6 02 08 7c mflr r0 c0000000002eb4ac: d0 ff 41 fb std r26,-48(r1) $ sudo ./perf probe do_sys_open $ sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events p:probe/do_sys_open _text+3060904 $ sudo ./perf probe 'do_sys_open filename:string' $ sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events p:probe/do_sys_open _text+3060896 filename_string=+0(%gpr4):string For second case, perf probed on GEP. So when function will be called via LEP, probe won't hit. $ sudo ./perf record -a -e probe:do_sys_open ls [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.195 MB perf.data ] To resolve this issue, let's not prioritize symbol table, let perf decide what it wants to use. Perf is already converting GEP to LEP when it uses symbol table. When perf uses debuginfo, let it find LEP offset form symbol table. This way we fall back to probe on LEP for all cases. After patch: $ sudo ./perf probe 'do_sys_open filename:string' $ sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events p:probe/do_sys_open _text+3060904 filename_string=+0(%gpr4):string $ sudo ./perf record -a -e probe:do_sys_open ls [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.197 MB perf.data (11 samples) ] Signed-off-by: Ravi Bangoria <ravi.bangoria@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Acked-by: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli <ananth@in.ibm.com> Cc: Balbir Singh <bsingharora@gmail.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Naveen N.

The way we're using kernel headers in tools/ now, with a copy that is made to the same path prefixed by "tools/" plus checking if that copy got stale, i.e. if the kernel counterpart changed, helps in keeping track with new features that may be useful for tools to exploit. For instance, looking at all the changes to bpf.h since it was last copied to tools/include brings this to toolers' attention: Need to investigate this one to check how to run a program via perf, setting up a BPF event, that will take advantage of the way perf already calls clang/LLVM, sets up the event and runs the workload in a single command line, helping in debugging such semi cooperative programs: 96ae5227 ("bpf: Add bpf_probe_write_user BPF helper to be called in tracers") This one needs further investigation about using the feature it improves in 'perf trace' to do some tcpdumpin' mixed with syscalls, tracepoints, probe points, callgraphs, etc: 555c8a86 ("bpf: avoid stack copy and use skb ctx for event output") Add tracing just packets that are related to some container to that mix: 4a482f34 ("cgroup: bpf: Add bpf_skb_in_cgroup_proto") 4ed8ec52 ("cgroup: bpf: Add BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGROUP_ARRAY") Definetely needs to have example programs accessing task_struct from a bpf proggie started from 'perf trace': 606274c5 ("bpf: introduce bpf_get_current_task() helper") Core networking related, XDP: 6ce96ca3 ("bpf: add XDP_TX xdp_action for direct forwarding") 6a773a15 ("bpf: add XDP prog type for early driver filter") 13c5c240 ("bpf: add bpf_get_hash_recalc helper") d2485c42 ("bpf: add bpf_skb_change_type helper") 6578171a ("bpf: add bpf_skb_change_proto helper") Changes detected by the tools build system: $ make -C tools/perf O=/tmp/build/perf install-bin make: Entering directory '/home/acme/git/linux/tools/perf' BUILD: Doing 'make -j4' parallel build Warning: tools/include/uapi/linux/bpf.h differs from kernel INSTALL GTK UI CC /tmp/build/perf/bench/mem-memcpy-x86-64-asm.o <SNIP> $ Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@fb.com> Cc: Brenden Blanco <bblanco@plumgrid.com> Cc: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: David S.

The 'perf probe' tool detects a variable's type and use the detected type to add a new probe. Then, kprobes prints its variable in hexadecimal format if the variable is unsigned and prints in decimal if it is signed. We sometimes want to see unsigned variable in decimal format (i.e. sector_t or size_t). In that case, we need to investigate the variable's size manually to specify just signedness. This patch add signedness casting support. By specifying "s" or "u" as a type, perf-probe will investigate variable size as usual and use the specified signedness. E.g. without this: $ perf probe -a 'submit_bio bio->bi_iter.bi_sector' Added new event: probe:submit_bio (on submit_bio with bi_sector=bio->bi_iter.bi_sector) You can now use it in all perf tools, such as: perf record -e probe:submit_bio -aR sleep 1 $ cat trace_pipe|head dbench-9692 [003] d..1 971.096633: submit_bio: (submit_bio+0x0/0x140) bi_sector=0x3a3d00 dbench-9692 [003] d..1 971.096685: submit_bio: (submit_bio+0x0/0x140) bi_sector=0x1a3d80 dbench-9692 [003] d..1 971.096687: submit_bio: (submit_bio+0x0/0x140) bi_sector=0x3a3d80 ... // need to investigate the variable size $ perf probe -a 'submit_bio bio->bi_iter.bi_sector:s64' Added new event: probe:submit_bio (on submit_bio with bi_sector=bio->bi_iter.bi_sector:s64) You can now use it in all perf tools, such as: perf record -e probe:submit_bio -aR sleep 1 With this: // just use "s" to cast its signedness $ perf probe -v -a 'submit_bio bio->bi_iter.bi_sector:s' Added new event: probe:submit_bio (on submit_bio with bi_sector=bio->bi_iter.bi_sector:s) You can now use it in all perf tools, such as: perf record -e probe:submit_bio -aR sleep 1 $ cat trace_pipe|head dbench-9689 [001] d..1 1212.391237: submit_bio: (submit_bio+0x0/0x140) bi_sector=128 dbench-9689 [001] d..1 1212.391252: submit_bio: (submit_bio+0x0/0x140) bi_sector=131072 dbench-9697 [006] d..1 1212.398611: submit_bio: (submit_bio+0x0/0x140) bi_sector=30208 This commit also update perf-probe.txt to describe "types".

When we don't have a tracee (i.e. we're attaching to a task or CPU), counters can still be running after our workload finishes, and can still be running as we read their values. As we read events one-by-one, there can be arbitrary skew between values of events, even within a group. This means that ratios within an event group are not reliable. This skew can be seen if measuring a group of identical events, e.g: # perf stat -a -C0 -e '{cycles,cycles}' sleep 1 To avoid this, we must stop groups from counting before we read the values of any constituent events. This patch adds and makes use of a new disable_counters() helper, which disables group leaders (and thus each group as a whole). This mirrors the use of enable_counters() for starting event groups in the absence of a tracee. Closing a group leader splits the group, and without a disabled group leader the newly split events will begin counting. Thus to ensure counts are reliable we must defer closing group leaders until all counts have been read. To do so this patch removes the event closing logic from the read_counters() helper, explicitly closes the events using perf_evlist__close(), which also aids legibility.

When we use libtraceevent to format trace event fields into printable strings to use in hist entries it is important to trim it from the default 4 KiB it starts with to what is really used, to reduce the memory footprint, so use realloc(seq.buffer, seq.len + 1) when returning the seq.buffer formatted with the fields contents.

When I initially added the unsafe_[get|put]_user() helpers in commit 5b24a7a2 ("Add 'unsafe' user access functions for batched accesses"), I made the mistake of modeling the interface on our traditional __[get|put]_user() functions, which return zero on success, or -EFAULT on failure. That interface is fairly easy to use, but it's actually fairly nasty for good code generation, since it essentially forces the caller to check the error value for each access. In particular, since the error handling is already internally implemented with an exception handler, and we already use "asm goto" for various other things, we could fairly easily make the error cases just jump directly to an error label instead, and avoid the need for explicit checking after each operation. So switch the interface to pass in an error label, rather than checking the error value in the caller. Best do it now before we start growing more users (the signal handling code in particular would be a good place to use the new interface). So rather than if (unsafe_get_user(x, ptr)) ... handle error .. the interface is now unsafe_get_user(x, ptr, label); where an error during the user mode fetch will now just cause a jump to 'label' in the caller. Right now the actual _implementation_ of this all still ends up being a "if (err) goto label", and does not take advantage of any exception label tricks, but for "unsafe_put_user()" in particular it should be fairly straightforward to convert to using the exception table model. Note that "unsafe_get_user()" is much harder to convert to a clever exception table model, because current versions of gcc do not allow the use of "asm goto" (for the exception) with output values (for the actual value to be fetched). But that is hopefully not a limitation in the long term. [ Also note that it might be a good idea to switch unsafe_get_user() to actually _return_ the value it fetches from user space, but this commit only changes the error handling semantics ] Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Since commit 63a4cc24, bio->bi_rw contains flags in the lower portion and the op code in the higher portions. This means that old code that relies on manually setting bi_rw is most likely going to be broken. Instead of letting that brokeness linger, rename the member, to force old and out-of-tree code to break at compile time instead of at runtime. No intended functional changes in this commit.

Commit abf54548 changed it from an 'rw' flags type to the newer ops based interface, but now we're effectively leaking some bdev internals to the rest of the kernel. Since we only care about whether it's a read or a write at that level, just pass in a bool 'is_write' parameter instead. Then we can also move op_is_write() and friends back under CONFIG_BLOCK protection. Reviewed-by: Mike Christie <mchristi@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>

Merge tag 'xfs-rmap-for-linus-4.8-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dgc/linux-xfs Pull more xfs updates from Dave Chinner: "This is the second part of the XFS updates for this merge cycle, and contains the new reverse block mapping feature for XFS. Reverse mapping allows us to track the owner of a specific block on disk precisely. It is implemented as a set of btrees (one per allocation group) that track the owners of allocated extents. Effectively it is a "used space tree" that is updated when we allocate or free extents. i.e. it is coherent with the free space btrees we already maintain and never overlaps with them. This reverse mapping infrastructure is the building block of several upcoming features - reflink, copy-on-write data, dedupe, online metadata and data scrubbing, highly accurate bad sector/data loss reporting to users, and significantly improved reconstruction of damaged and corrupted filesystems. There's a lot of new stuff coming along in the next couple of cycles,a nd it all builds in the rmap infrastructure. As such, it's a huge chunk of new code with new on-disk format features and internal infrastructure. It warns at mount time as an experimental feature and that it may eat data (as we do with all new on-disk features until they stabilise). We have not released userspace suport for it yet - userspace support currently requires download from Darrick's xfsprogs repo and build from source, so the access to this feature is really developer/tester only at this point. Initial userspace support will be released at the same time kernel with this code in it is released. The new rmap enabled code regresses 3 xfstests - all are ENOSPC related corner cases, one of which Darrick posted a fix for a few hours ago. The other two are fixed by infrastructure that is part of the upcoming reflink patchset. This new ENOSPC infrastructure requires a on-disk format tweak required to keep mount times in check - we need to keep an on-disk count of allocated rmapbt blocks so we don't have to scan the entire btrees at mount time to count them. This is currently being tested and will be part of the fixes sent in the next week or two so users will not be exposed to this change" * tag 'xfs-rmap-for-linus-4.8-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dgc/linux-xfs: (52 commits) xfs: move (and rename) the deferred bmap-free tracepoints xfs: collapse single use static functions xfs: remove unnecessary parentheses from log redo item recovery functions xfs: remove the extents array from the rmap update done log item xfs: in btree_lshift, only allocate temporary cursor when needed xfs: remove unnecesary lshift/rshift key initialization xfs: remove the get*keys and update_keys btree ops pointers xfs: enable the rmap btree functionality xfs: don't update rmapbt when fixing agfl xfs: disable XFS_IOC_SWAPEXT when rmap btree is enabled xfs: add rmap btree block detection to log recovery xfs: add rmap btree geometry feature flag xfs: propagate bmap updates to rmapbt xfs: enable the xfs_defer mechanism to process rmaps to update xfs: log rmap intent items xfs: create rmap update intent log items xfs: add rmap btree insert and delete helpers xfs: convert unwritten status of reverse mappings xfs: remove an extent from the rmap btree xfs: add an extent to the rmap btree ...

Also includes is a minor SSB cleanup as SSB code traditionally is merged through the MIPS tree: ATH25: - MIPS: Add default configuration for ath25 Boot: - For zboot, copy appended dtb to the end of the kernel - store the appended dtb address in a variable BPF: - Fix off by one error in offset allocation Cobalt code: - Fix typos Core code: - debugfs_create_file returns NULL on error, so don't use IS_ERR for testing for errors. - Fix double locking issue in RM7000 S-cache code. This would only affect RM7000 ARC systems on reboot. - Fix page table corruption on THP permission changes. - Use compat_sys_keyctl for 32 bit userspace on 64 bit kernels. David says, there are no compatibility issues raised by this fix. - Move some signal code around. - Rewrite r4k count/compare clockevent device registration such that min_delta_ticks/max_delta_ticks files are guaranteed to be initialized. - Only register r4k count/compare as clockevent device if we can assume the clock to be constant. - Fix MSA asm warnings in control reg accessors - uasm and tlbex fixes and tweaking. - Print segment physical address when EU=1. - Define AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH for ARCH_DLINFO. - CP: Allow booting by VP other than VP 0 - Cache handling fixes and optimizations for r4k class caches - Add hotplug support for R6 processors - Cleanup hotplug bits in kconfig - traps: return correct si code for accessing nonmapped addresses - Remove cpu_has_safe_index_cacheops Lantiq: - Register IRQ handler for virtual IRQ number - Fix EIU interrupt loading code - Use the real EXIN count - Fix build error. Loongson 3: - Increase HPET_MIN_PROG_DELTA and decrease HPET_MIN_CYCLES Octeon: - Delete built-in DTB pruning code for D-Link DSR-1000N. - Clean up GPIO definitions in dlink_dsr-1000n.dts. - Add more LEDs to the DSR-100n DTS - Fix off by one in octeon_irq_gpio_map() - Typo fixes - Enable SATA by default in cavium_octeon_defconfig - Support readq/writeq() - Remove forced mappings of USB interrupts. - Ensure DMA descriptors are always in the low 4GB - Improve USB reset code for OCTEON II. Pistachio: - Add maintainers entry for pistachio SoC Support - Remove plat_setup_iocoherency Ralink: - Fix pwm UART in spis group pinmux. SSB: - Change bare unsigned to unsigned int to suit coding style Tools: - Fix reloc tool compiler warnings. Other: - Delete use of ARCH_WANT_OPTIONAL_GPIOLIB" * 'upstream' of git://git.linux-mips.org/pub/scm/ralf/upstream-linus: (61 commits) MIPS: mm: Fix definition of R6 cache instruction MIPS: tools: Fix relocs tool compiler warnings MIPS: Cobalt: Fix typo MIPS: Octeon: Fix typo MIPS: Lantiq: Fix build failure MIPS: Use CPHYSADDR to implement mips32 __pa MIPS: Octeon: Dlink_dsr-1000n.dts: add more leds. MIPS: Octeon: Clean up GPIO definitions in dlink_dsr-1000n.dts. MIPS: Octeon: Delete built-in DTB pruning code for D-Link DSR-1000N. MIPS: store the appended dtb address in a variable MIPS: ZBOOT: copy appended dtb to the end of the kernel MIPS: ralink: fix spis group pinmux MIPS: Factor o32 specific code into signal_o32.c MIPS: non-exec stack & heap when non-exec PT_GNU_STACK is present MIPS: Use per-mm page to execute branch delay slot instructions MIPS: Modify error handling MIPS: c-r4k: Use SMP calls for CM indexed cache ops MIPS: c-r4k: Avoid small flush_icache_range SMP calls MIPS: c-r4k: Local flush_icache_range cache op override MIPS: c-r4k: Split r4k_flush_kernel_vmap_range() ...
