For sample with sample type PERF_SAMPLE_READ the period value is stored in the 'struct sample_read'. Moreover if the read format has PERF_FORMAT_GROUP, the 'struct sample_read' contains period values for all events in the group (for which the sample's event is a leader). We deliver separated samples for all the values contained within the 'struct sample_read'. Signed-off-by:

We need to fail the event ID retrieval in case both following conditions are true: - we are on kernel with no PERF_EVENT_IOC_ID support - PERF_FORMAT_GROUP read format is set The PERF_FORMAT_GROUP read format bit is the killer for retrieving event ID out of the read syscall, because we have no guarantee of the event placement within leader kernel sibling list.

Changing the way we retrieve the event ID. Instead of parsing out the ID out of the read data, using the PERF_EVENT_IOC_ID ioctl. Keeping the old way in place to support kernels without PERF_EVENT_IOC_ID ioctl support. This will be useful for retrieving the event ID for events with PERF_FORMAT_GROUP read format set, where it's impossible to get correct event id out of the read call data. Signed-off-by:

It's possible some of the counters in the group could be disabled when sampling member of the event group is reading the rest via PERF_SAMPLE_READ sample type processing. Disabled counters could then produce wrong numbers. Fixing that by reading only enabled counters for PERF_SAMPLE_READ sample type processing. Signed-off-by:

The only way to get the event ID is by reading the event fd, followed by parsing the ID value out of the returned data. While this is ok for current read format used by perf tool, it is not ok when we use PERF_FORMAT_GROUP format. With this format the data are returned for the whole group and there's no way to find out what ID belongs to our fd (if we are not group leader event). Adding a simple ioctl that returns event primary ID for given fd. Signed-off-by:

A perf event can be used without forcing the tick to stay alive if it doesn't use a frequency but a sample period and if it doesn't throttle (raise storm of events). Since the lockup detector neither use a perf event frequency nor should ever throttle due to its high period, it can now run concurrently with the full dynticks feature. So remove the hack that disabled the watchdog. Signed-off-by:

Currently the full dynticks subsystem keep the tick alive as long as there are perf events running. This prevents the tick from being stopped as long as features such that the lockup detectors are running. As a temporary fix, the lockup detector is disabled by default when full dynticks is built but this is not a long term viable solution. To fix this, only keep the tick alive when an event configured with a frequency rather than a period is running on the CPU, or when an event throttles on the CPU. These are the only purposes of the perf tick, especially now that the rotation of flexible events is handled from a seperate hrtimer. The tick can be shutdown the rest of the time. Original-patch-by:

Gather all the event accounting code to a single place, once all the prerequisites are completed. This simplifies the refcounting. Original-patch-by:
-
Frederic Weisbecker authored
In case of allocation failure, get_callchain_buffer() keeps the refcount incremented for the current event. As a result, when get_callchain_buffers() returns an error, we must cleanup what it did by cancelling its last refcount with a call to put_callchain_buffers(). This is a hack in order to be able to call free_event() after that failure. The original purpose of that was to simplify the failure path. But this error handling is actually counter intuitive, ugly and not very easy to follow because one expect to see the resources used to perform a service to be cleaned by the callee if case of failure, not by the caller. So lets clean this up by cancelling the refcount from get_callchain_buffer() in case of failure. And correctly free the event accordingly in perf_event_alloc(). Signed-off-by:
-
Frederic Weisbecker authored
On callchain buffers allocation failure, free_event() is called and all the accounting performed in perf_event_alloc() for that event is cancelled. But if the event has branch stack sampling, it is unaccounted as well from the branch stack sampling events refcounts. This is a bug because this accounting is performed after the callchain buffer allocation. As a result, the branch stack sampling events refcount can become negative. To fix this, move the branch stack event accounting before the callchain buffer allocation. Reported-by:

Smart wake-affine is using node-size as the factor currently, but the overhead of the mask operation is high. Thus, this patch introduce the 'sd_llc_size' percpu variable, which will record the highest cache-share domain size, and make it to be the new factor, in order to reduce the overhead and make it more reasonable.

Michael Wang authored
The wake-affine scheduler feature is currently always trying to pull the wakee close to the waker. In theory this should be beneficial if the waker's CPU caches hot data for the wakee, and it's also beneficial in the extreme ping-pong high context switch rate case. Testing shows it can benefit hackbench up to 15%. However, the feature is somewhat blind, from which some workloads such as pgbench suffer. It's also time-consuming algorithmically. Testing shows it can damage pgbench up to 50% - far more than the benefit it brings in the best case. So wake-affine should be smarter and it should realize when to stop its thankless effort at trying to find a suitable CPU to wake on. This patch introduces 'wakee_flips', which will be increased each time the task flips (switches) its wakee target. So a high 'wakee_flips' value means the task has more than one wakee, and the bigger the number, the higher the wakeup frequency. Now when making the decision on whether to pull or not, pay attention to the wakee with a high 'wakee_flips', pulling such a task may benefit the wakee. Also imply that the waker will face cruel competition later, it could be very cruel or very fast depends on the story behind 'wakee_flips', waker therefore suffers. Furthermore, if waker also has a high 'wakee_flips', that implies that multiple tasks rely on it, then waker's higher latency will damage all of them, so pulling wakee seems to be a bad deal. Thus, when 'waker->wakee_flips / wakee->wakee_flips' becomes higher and higher, the cost of pulling seems to be worse and worse. The patch therefore helps the wake-affine feature to stop its pulling work when: wakee->wakee_flips > factor && waker->wakee_flips > (factor * wakee->wakee_flips) The 'factor' here is the number of CPUs in the current CPU's NUMA node, so a bigger node will lead to more pulling since the trial becomes more severe. After applying the patch, pgbench shows up to 40% improvements and no regressions. Tested with 12 cpu x86 server and tip 3.10.0-rc7. The percentages in the final column highlight the areas with the biggest wins, all other areas improved as well: pgbench base smart | db_size | clients | tps | | tps | +---------+---------+-------+ +-------+ | 22 MB | 1 | 10598 | | 10796 | | 22 MB | 2 | 21257 | | 21336 | | 22 MB | 4 | 41386 | | 41622 | | 22 MB | 8 | 51253 | | 57932 | | 22 MB | 12 | 48570 | | 54000 | | 22 MB | 16 | 46748 | | 55982 | +19.75% | 22 MB | 24 | 44346 | | 55847 | +25.93% | 22 MB | 32 | 43460 | | 54614 | +25.66% | 7484 MB | 1 | 8951 | | 9193 | | 7484 MB | 2 | 19233 | | 19240 | | 7484 MB | 4 | 37239 | | 37302 | | 7484 MB | 8 | 46087 | | 50018 | | 7484 MB | 12 | 42054 | | 48763 | | 7484 MB | 16 | 40765 | | 51633 | +26.66% | 7484 MB | 24 | 37651 | | 52377 | +39.11% | 7484 MB | 32 | 37056 | | 51108 | +37.92% | 15 GB | 1 | 8845 | | 9104 | | 15 GB | 2 | 19094 | | 19162 | | 15 GB | 4 | 36979 | | 36983 | | 15 GB | 8 | 46087 | | 49977 | | 15 GB | 12 | 41901 | | 48591 | | 15 GB | 16 | 40147 | | 50651 | +26.16% | 15 GB | 24 | 37250 | | 52365 | +40.58% | 15 GB | 32 | 36470 | | 50015 | +37.14% Signed-off-by:

The bad thing about update_h_load(), which computes hierarchical load factor for task groups, is that it is called for each task group in the system before every load balancer run, and since rebalance can be triggered very often, this function can eat really a lot of cpu time if there are many cpu cgroups in the system. Although the situation was improved significantly by commit a35b6466 ('sched, cgroup: Reduce rq->lock hold times for large cgroup hierarchies'), the problem still can arise under some kinds of loads, e.g. when cpus are switching from idle to busy and back very frequently. For instance, when I start 1000 of processes that wake up every millisecond on my 8 cpus host, 'top' and 'perf top' show: Cpu(s): 17.8%us, 24.3%sy, 0.0%ni, 57.9%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si Events: 243K cycles 7.57% [kernel] [k] __schedule 7.08% [kernel] [k] timerqueue_add 6.13% libc-2.12.so [.] usleep Then if I create 10000 *idle* cpu cgroups (no processes in them), cpu usage increases significantly although the 'wakers' are still executing in the root cpu cgroup: Cpu(s): 19.1%us, 48.7%sy, 0.0%ni, 31.6%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.7%si Events: 230K cycles 24.56% [kernel] [k] tg_load_down 5.76% [kernel] [k] __schedule This happens because this particular kind of load triggers 'new idle' rebalance very frequently, which requires calling update_h_load(), which, in turn, calls tg_load_down() for every *idle* cpu cgroup even though it is absolutely useless, because idle cpu cgroups have no tasks to pull. This patch tries to improve the situation by making h_load calculation proceed only when h_load is really necessary. To achieve this, it substitutes update_h_load() with update_cfs_rq_h_load(), which computes h_load only for a given cfs_rq and all its ascendants, and makes the load balancer call this function whenever it considers if a task should be pulled, i.e. it moves h_load calculations directly to task_h_load(). For h_load of the same cfs_rq not to be updated multiple times (in case several tasks in the same cgroup are considered during the same balance run), the patch keeps the time of the last h_load update for each cfs_rq and breaks calculation when it finds h_load to be uptodate. The benefit of it is that h_load is computed only for those cfs_rq's, which really need it, in particular all idle task groups are skipped. Although this, in fact, moves h_load calculation under rq lock, it should not affect latency much, because the amount of work done under rq lock while trying to pull tasks is limited by sched_nr_migrate. After the patch applied with the setup described above (1000 wakers in the root cgroup and 10000 idle cgroups), I get: Cpu(s): 16.9%us, 24.8%sy, 0.0%ni, 58.4%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si Events: 242K cycles 7.57% [kernel] [k] __schedule 6.70% [kernel] [k] timerqueue_add 5.93% libc-2.12.so [.] usleep Signed-off-by:

In fd4363ff ("x86: Introduce int3 (breakpoint)-based instruction patching"), the mechanism that was introduced for notifying alternatives code from int3 exception handler that and exception occured was die_notifier.

With programs with very large functions it can be useful to distinguish the callgraph nodes on more than just function names. So for example if you have multiple calls to the same function, it ends up being separate nodes in the chain. This patch adds a new key field to the callgraph options, that allows comparing nodes on functions (as today, default) and addresses. Longer term it would be nice to also handle src lines, but that would need more changes and address is a reasonable proxy for it today. I right now reference the global params, as there was no simple way to register a params pointer. Signed-off-by:

This could result in the perf memcpy benchmark reading only from the zero page, which gives unrealistic results. Always call memset explicitly on the source area to avoid this problem. Signed-off-by:

Some systems (e.g., VMs on qemu-0.13 with the default vcpu model) report an unsupported CPU model: Performance Events: unsupported p6 CPU model 2 no PMU driver, software events only. Subsequent invocations of perf fail with: The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 19 (No such device) for event (cycles). /bin/dmesg may provide additional information. No CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS=y kernel support configured? Add ENODEV to the list of errno's to fallback to cpu-clock. Signed-off-by:

Commit 73994dc1 broke named thread support in perf-script. The thread struct in al is the main thread for a multithreaded process. The thread struct used for analysis (e.g., dumping events) should be the specific thread for the sample. Signed-off-by:

Since introducing the text_poke_bp() for all text_poke_smp*() callers, text_poke_smp*() are now unused. This patch basically reverts: 3d55cc8a ("x86: Add text_poke_smp for SMP cross modifying code") 7deb18dc ("x86: Introduce text_poke_smp_batch() for batch-code modifying") and related commits. This patch also fixes a Kconfig dependency issue on STOP_MACHINE in the case of CONFIG_SMP && !CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD. Signed-off-by:

Use text_poke_bp() for optimizing kprobes instead of text_poke_smp*(). Since the number of kprobes is usually not so large (<100) and text_poke_bp() is much lighter than text_poke_smp() [which uses stop_machine()], this just stops using batch processing. Signed-off-by:

Remove a comment about an int3 issue in NMI/MCE, since commit: 3f3c8b8c ("x86: Add workaround to NMI iret woes") already fixed that. Keeping this incorrect comment can mislead developers. Signed-off-by:
