The local64.h include dependency was not dependent on PERF_EVENT=y, which meant that arch's without atomic64_t support ended up including it and failed to build. Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> LKML-Reference: <new-submission>

Only child counters adding back their values into the parent counter are responsible for cross-cpu updates to event->count. So if we pull that out into a new child_count variable, we get an event->count that is only modified locally.

On 64bit, local_t is of size long, and thus we make local64_t an alias. On 32bit, we fall back to atomic64_t.

On Netburst PMU we need a second write to a performance counter due to cpu erratum. A simple flag test instead of alternative instructions was choosen because wrmsrl is already a macro and if virtualization is turned on will need an additional wrapper call which is more expencise. nb: we should propably switch to jump-labels as only this facility reach the mainline.

Frederic reported that frequency driven swevents didn't work properly and even caused a division-by-zero error. It turns out there are two bugs, the division-by-zero comes from a failure to deal with that in perf_calculate_period(). The other was more interesting and turned out to be a wrong comparison in perf_adjust_period(). The comparison was between an s64 and u64 and got implicitly converted to an unsigned comparison. The problem is that period_left is typically < 0, so it ended up being always true. Cure this by making the local period variables s64.

This patch adds the ability to specify an alternate directory to store the buildid cache (buildids, copy of binaries). By default, it is hardcoded to $HOME/.debug. This directory contains immutable data. The layout of the directory is such that no conflicts in filenames are possible. A modification in a file, yields a different buildid and thus a different location in the subdir hierarchy. You may want to put the buildid cache elsewhere because of disk space limitation or simply to share the cache between users. It is also useful for remote collect vs. local analysis of profiles. This patch adds a new config option to the perfconfig file. Under the tag 'buildid', there is a dir option. For instance, if you have: $ cat /etc/perfconfig [buildid] dir = /var/cache/perf-buildid All buildids and binaries are be saved in the directory specified. The perf record, buildid-list, buildid-cache, report, annotate, and archive commands will it to pull information out. The option can be set in the system-wide perfconfig file or in the $HOME/.perfconfig file. Cc: David S.

This patch adds a -C option to stat, record, top to designate a list of CPUs to monitor. CPUs can be specified as a comma-separated list or ranges, no space allowed. Examples: $ perf record -a -C0-1,4-7 sleep 1 $ perf top -C0-4 $ perf stat -a -C1,2,3,4 sleep 1 With perf record in per-thread mode with inherit mode on, samples are collected only when the thread runs on the designated CPUs.

We need to set the long name to the name specified via, for instance, 'perf annotate --vmlinux /path/to/vmlinux', if not it will remain as '[kernel.kallsyms]' and that will make annotate fail when passing this as the vmlinux name in the call to objdump. The way this is setup grew unwieldly and dso__load_vmlinux is the function that should allocate space for the long name, with callers not assuming that filenames should be allocated somehow by then (strdup, dso__build_id_filename, etc). For now this is the minimalistic patch, a proper fix for .36 will be made. Reported-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Tested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Cc: David S.

Steven Rostedt authored
The ftrace_preempt_disable/enable functions were to address a recursive race caused by the function tracer. The function tracer traces all functions which makes it easily susceptible to recursion. One area was preempt_enable(). This would call the scheduler and the schedulre would call the function tracer and loop. (So was it thought). The ftrace_preempt_disable/enable was made to protect against recursion inside the scheduler by storing the NEED_RESCHED flag. If it was set before the ftrace_preempt_disable() it would not call schedule on ftrace_preempt_enable(), thinking that if it was set before then it would have already scheduled unless it was already in the scheduler. This worked fine except in the case of SMP, where another task would set the NEED_RESCHED flag for a task on another CPU, and then kick off an IPI to trigger it. This could cause the NEED_RESCHED to be saved at ftrace_preempt_disable() but the IPI to arrive in the the preempt disabled section. The ftrace_preempt_enable() would not call the scheduler because the flag was already set before entring the section. This bug would cause a missed preemption check and cause lower latencies. Investigating further, I found that the recusion caused by the function tracer was not due to schedule(), but due to preempt_schedule(). Now that preempt_schedule is completely annotated with notrace, the recusion no longer is an issue.

The function tracer code uses ftrace_preempt_disable() to disable preemption instead of normal preempt_disable(). But there's a slight race condition that may cause it to lose a preemption check. This was made to keep the function tracer from recursing on itself by disabling preemption then having the enable call the function tracer again, causing infinite recursion. The bug was assumed to happen if the call was just in schedule, but this is incorrect. The bug is caused by preempt_schedule() which is called by preempt_enable(). The calling of preempt_enable() when NEED_RESCHED was set would call preempt_schedule() which would call the function tracer again. By making the preempt_schedule() and add_preempt_count() notrace then this will prevent the inifinite recursion. This is because the add_preempt_count() would stop the preempt_enable() in the function tracer from calling preempt_schedule() again. The sub_preempt_count() is also made notrace just to keep it symmetric. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

Frederic reported that because swevents handling doesn't disable IRQs anymore, we can get a recursion of perf_adjust_period(), once from overflow handling and once from the tick. If both call ->disable, we get a double hlist_del_rcu() and trigger a LIST_POISON2 dereference. Since we don't actually need to stop/start a swevent to re-programm the hardware (lack of hardware to program), simply nop out these callbacks for the swevent pmu.

When we use plain 'perf buildid-list' we use only what is in the buildid table in the perf.data header. And those have absolute pathnames because at 'perf record' time we used __perf_session__process_events and that doesn't sets up the path shortening code in map__new() that happens if symbol_conf.full_paths is false, the default. On the other hand, when we use 'perf buildid-list --with-hits' we process all the events using perf_session__process_events, adding entries to the global DSO list _after_ removing the current directory from the DSO name, for presentation purposes. Because of that we end up having two entries in the DSO list when recording events for binaries using relative pathnames. Fix it minimally by setting symbol_conf.full_paths to true when marking the DSOs with hits in 'perf buildid-list --with-hits', as used by 'perf archive' Right fix longer term is to shorten the path only at presentation time. Will be done for 2.6.36. Reported-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Tested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Cc: David S.

When forking the child to be traced, we should check the correct return value from fork() and not a local variable which is otherwise unused.

event__process_task() doesn't propagate the comm copy on clone, but only on process fork. So we loose all the tid:comm resolution for tasks that aren't a main process thread. Progragate the per thread granularity to event__process_task for pid resolution. This fixes various unresolved pids in perf sched, especially when we trace multithread processes. The problem is quickly reproducible with the messaging benchmark using the multithread mode "-t" : perf sched record perf bench sched messaging -t Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Tom Zanussi <tzanussi@gmail.com> Cc: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com>

perf sched uses event__process_comm(), which means it can resolve comms from: - tasks that have exec'ed (kernel comm events) - tasks that were running when perf record started the actual recording (synthetized comm events) But perf sched can't resolve the pids of tasks that were created after the recording started. To solve this, we need to inherit the comms on fork events using event__process_task(). This fixes various unresolved pids in perf sched, easily visible with: perf sched record perf bench sched messaging Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Tom Zanussi <tzanussi@gmail.com> Cc: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com>

When we synthetize the existing running tasks though procfs, we walk through every threads of a process, queuing one comm events per tid. But then on report time, event__process_comm() only creates and sets the comm on a per process granularity. This is the right thing for comm events that came from the kernel, as they are only created on exec. Sub-threads then inherit their comm from fork events. But that doesn't work with our synthetized comm events taken from procfs informations as the per thread granularity is done on comm events directly there. Hence we need event__process_comm() to work with the tid rather than the pid. It won't change anything for comm events coming from the kernel but this will fix the synthetized ones. Before: $ ./perf report -D | grep COMM | grep firefox 0x2c7b8 [0x18]: PERF_RECORD_COMM: firefox:5297 0x2c7d0 [0x18]: PERF_RECORD_COMM: firefox:5297 0x2c7e8 [0x18]: PERF_RECORD_COMM: firefox:5297 0x2c800 [0x18]: PERF_RECORD_COMM: firefox:5297 0x2c818 [0x18]: PERF_RECORD_COMM: firefox:5297 0x2c830 [0x18]: PERF_RECORD_COMM: firefox:5297 After: $ ./perf report -D | grep COMM | grep firefox 0x2c7b8 [0x18]: PERF_RECORD_COMM: firefox:5297 0x2c7d0 [0x18]: PERF_RECORD_COMM: firefox:5299 0x2c7e8 [0x18]: PERF_RECORD_COMM: firefox:5300 0x2c800 [0x18]: PERF_RECORD_COMM: firefox:5308 0x2c818 [0x18]: PERF_RECORD_COMM: firefox:5309 0x2c830 [0x18]: PERF_RECORD_COMM: firefox:5312 This fixes various unresolved pid on perf sched.
