In perf tools, we hardcode the pid 0 cmdline resolving to "idle" because the init task is not included in the COMM events. But the idle tasks secondary cpus are resolved into their "init" name through the COMM events. We have then such strange result in perf report (ditto with trace): 19.66% init [kernel] [k] acpi_idle_enter_c1 17.32% [idle] [kernel] [k] acpi_idle_enter_c1 It's then better to unify the swapper tasks into a single init name.

This improves patch fa6963b2 so that perf.data stuff that has been dumped as root can be read (annotate/report) by a user without the use of the --force. Rationale is that root has plenty of ways to screw us (usually) that do not require twisted schemes involving specially crafting a perf.data.

Currently, if a group is created where the group leader is initially disabled but a non-leader member is initially enabled, and then the leader is subsequently enabled some time later, the time_enabled for the non-leader member will reflect the whole time since it was created, not just the time since the leader was enabled. This is incorrect, because all of the members are effectively disabled while the leader is disabled, since none of the members can go on the PMU if the leader can't. Thus we have to update the ->tstamp_enabled for all the enabled group members when a group leader is enabled, so that the time_enabled computation only counts the time since the leader was enabled. Similarly, when disabling a group leader we have to update the time_enabled and time_running for all of the group members. Also, in update_counter_times, we have to treat a counter whose group leader is disabled as being disabled.

Paul Mackerras authored
This adds support for tracing callchains for powerpc, both 32-bit and 64-bit, and both in the kernel and userspace, from PMU interrupt context. The first three entries stored for each callchain are the NIP (next instruction pointer), LR (link register), and the contents of the LR save area in the second stack frame (the first is ignored because the ABI convention on powerpc is that functions save their return address in their caller's stack frame). Because leaf functions don't have to save their return address (LR value) and don't have to establish a stack frame, it's possible for either or both of LR and the second stack frame's LR save area to have valid return addresses in them. This is basically impossible to disambiguate without either reading the code or looking at auxiliary information such as CFI tables. Since we don't want to do either of those things at interrupt time, we store both LR and the second stack frame's LR save area. Once we get past the second stack frame, there is no ambiguity; all return addresses we get are reliable. For kernel traces, we check whether they are valid kernel instruction addresses and store zero instead if they are not (rather than omitting them, which would make it impossible for userspace to know which was which). We also store zero instead of the second stack frame's LR save area value if it is the same as LR. For kernel traces, we check for interrupt frames, and for user traces, we check for signal frames. In each case, since we're starting a new trace, we store a PERF_CONTEXT_KERNEL/USER marker so that userspace knows that the next three entries are NIP, LR and the second stack frame for the interrupted context. We read user memory with __get_user_inatomic. On 64-bit, if this PMU interrupt occurred while interrupts are soft-disabled, and there is no MMU hash table entry for the page, we will get an -EFAULT return from __get_user_inatomic even if there is a valid Linux PTE for the page, since hash_page isn't reentrant. Thus we have code here to read the Linux PTE and access the page via the kernel linear mapping. Since 64-bit doesn't use (or need) highmem there is no need to do kmap_atomic. On 32-bit, we don't do soft interrupt disabling, so this complication doesn't occur and there is no need to fall back to reading the Linux PTE, since hash_page (or the TLB miss handler) will get called automatically if necessary. Note that we cannot get PMU interrupts in the interval during context switch between switch_mm (which switches the user address space) and switch_to (which actually changes current to the new process). On 64-bit this is because interrupts are hard-disabled in switch_mm and stay hard-disabled until they are soft-enabled later, after switch_to has returned. So there is no possibility of trying to do a user stack trace when the user address space is not current's address space.

This provides a mechanism to allow the perf_counters code to access user memory in a PMU interrupt routine. Such an access can cause various kinds of interrupt: SLB miss, MMU hash table miss, segment table miss, or TLB miss, depending on the processor. This commit only deals with 64-bit classic/server processors, which use an MMU hash table. 32-bit processors are already able to access user memory at interrupt time. Since we don't soft-disable on 32-bit, we avoid the possibility of reentering hash_page or the TLB miss handlers, since they run with interrupts disabled. On 64-bit processors, an SLB miss interrupt on a user address will update the slb_cache and slb_cache_ptr fields in the paca. This is OK except in the case where a PMU interrupt occurs in switch_slb, which also accesses those fields. To prevent this, we hard-disable interrupts in switch_slb. Interrupts are already soft-disabled at this point, and will get hard-enabled when they get soft-enabled later. This also reworks slb_flush_and_rebolt: to avoid hard-disabling twice, and to make sure that it clears the slb_cache_ptr when called from other callers than switch_slb, the existing routine is renamed to __slb_flush_and_rebolt, which is called by switch_slb and the new version of slb_flush_and_rebolt. Similarly, switch_stab (used on POWER3 and RS64 processors) gets a hard_irq_disable() to protect the per-cpu variables used there and in ste_allocate. If a MMU hashtable miss interrupt occurs, normally we would call hash_page to look up the Linux PTE for the address and create a HPTE. However, hash_page is fairly complex and takes some locks, so to avoid the possibility of deadlock, we check the preemption count to see if we are in a (pseudo-)NMI handler, and if so, we don't call hash_page but instead treat it like a bad access that will get reported up through the exception table mechanism. An interrupt whose handler runs even though the interrupt occurred when soft-disabled (such as the PMU interrupt) is considered a pseudo-NMI handler, which should use nmi_enter()/nmi_exit() rather than irq_enter()/irq_exit().

On 32-bit systems with 64-bit PTEs, the PTEs have to be written in two 32-bit halves. On SMP we write the higher-order half and then the lower-order half, with a write barrier between the two halves, but on UP there was no particular ordering of the writes to the two halves. This extends the ordering that we already do on SMP to the UP case as well. The reason is that with the perf_counter subsystem potentially accessing user memory at interrupt time to get stack traces, we have to be careful not to create an incorrect but apparently valid PTE even on UP.

The ftrace event format parser handles the usual casts but not the cast to pointers. Such casts have been introduced recently with the module trace events and raise the following parsing error: Fatal: bad op token ) This is because it considers the "*" character as a binary operator. Make it then aware of casts to pointers.

You can enable a counter's PERF_SAMPLE_RAW attribute in two fashions: - using the -R option (every counters get PERF_SAMPLE_RAW) - using the :record suffix in a trace event counter name Currently we record the events info in a trace.info file from perf record when the former method is used but we omit it with the latter. Check both situations.

This adds perf trace into the set of perf tools. It is written to fetch the tracepoint samples from perf events and display them, according to the events information given by the debugfs files through the util/trace* tools. It is a rough first shot and doesn't yet handle the cpu, timestamps fields and some other things. Example: perf record -f -e workqueue:workqueue_execution:record -F 1 -a perf trace kblockd/0-236 [000] 0.000000: workqueue_execution: thread=:236 func=cfq_kick_queue+0x0 kondemand/0-360 [000] 0.000000: workqueue_execution: thread=:360 func=do_dbs_timer+0x0 kondemand/0-360 [000] 0.000000: workqueue_execution: thread=:360 func=do_dbs_timer+0x0 kondemand/1-361 [000] 0.000000: workqueue_execution: thread=:361 func=do_dbs_timer+0x0 kondemand/1-361 [000] 0.000000: workqueue_execution: thread=:361 func=do_dbs_timer+0x0 kondemand/1-361 [000] 0.000000: workqueue_execution: thread=:361 func=do_dbs_timer+0x0 kondemand/1-361 [000] 0.000000: workqueue_execution: thread=:361 func=do_dbs_timer+0x0 kondemand/1-361 [000] 0.000000: workqueue_execution: thread=:361 func=do_dbs_timer+0x0 kondemand/1-361 [000] 0.000000: workqueue_execution: thread=:361 func=do_dbs_timer+0x0 kondemand/1-361 [000] 0.000000: workqueue_execution: thread=:361 func=do_dbs_timer+0x0 kondemand/1-361 [000] 0.000000: workqueue_execution: thread=:361 func=do_dbs_timer+0x0 kondemand/1-361 [000] 0.000000: workqueue_execution: thread=:361 func=do_dbs_timer+0x0 kondemand/1-361 [000] 0.000000: workqueue_execution: thread=:361 func=do_dbs_timer+0x0 kondemand/1-361 [000] 0.000000: workqueue_execution: thread=:361 func=do_dbs_timer+0x0 kondemand/1-361 [000] 0.000000: workqueue_execution: thread=:361 func=do_dbs_timer+0x0 kondemand/1-361 [000] 0.000000: workqueue_execution: thread=:361 func=do_dbs_timer+0x0 Todo: - A lot of things!

In general, code in perf_counter.c that is called through an IPI checks, for per-task counters, that the counter's task is still the current task. This is to handle the race condition where the cpu switches from the task we want to another task in the interval between sending the IPI and the IPI arriving and being handled on the target CPU. For some reason, __perf_counter_read is missing this check, yet there is no reason why the race condition can't occur. This adds a check that the current task is the one we want. If it isn't, we just return. In that case the counter->count value should be up to date, since it will have been updated when the counter was scheduled out, which must have happened since the IPI was sent. I don't have an example of an actual failure due to this race, but it seems obvious that it could occur and we need to guard against it.

Librarize trace_event() helper so that perf trace can use it too. Also clean up the debug.h includes a bit. It's not good to have it included in perf.h because it doesn't make it flexible against other headers it may need (headers that can also depend on perf.h and then create a recursive header dependency).
