Without this patch, it is cumbersome to read the trace output but ignoring the normal, potentially verbose, output of the debuggee. One common example is doing something like the following: perf trace -s find /tmp > /dev/null Without this patch, the trace summary will be lost. Now, it will still be printed at the end. This behavior is also applied by strace.

This patchkit adds the ability to turn off time stamps per event. One usaful case for partial time is to work with per-event callgraph to enable "PEBS threshold > 1" (https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/5/10/196), which can significantly reduce the sampling overhead. The event samples with time stamps off will not be ordered. Signed-off-by:

To work like strace and dereference syscall pointer args we need to insert probes (or tracepoints) right after we copy those bytes from userspace. Since we're formatting the syscall args at raw_syscalls:sys_enter time, we need to have a formatter that just stores the position where, later, when we get the probe:vfs_getname, we can insert the pointer contents. Now, if a probe:vfs_getname with this format is in place: # perf probe -l probe:vfs_getname (on getname_flags:72@/home/git/linux/fs/namei.c with pathname) That was, in this case, put in place with: # perf probe 'vfs_getname=getname_flags:72 pathname=filename:string' Added new event: probe:vfs_getname (on getname_flags:72 with pathname=filename:string) You can now use it in all perf tools, such as: perf record -e probe:vfs_getname -aR sleep 1 # Then 'perf trace' will notice that and do the pointer -> contents expansion: # trace -e open touch /tmp/bla 0.165 (0.010 ms): touch/17752 open(filename: /etc/ld.so.cache, flags: CLOEXEC) = 3 0.195 (0.011 ms): touch/17752 open(filename: /lib64/libc.so.6, flags: CLOEXEC) = 3 0.512 (0.012 ms): touch/17752 open(filename: /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive, flags: CLOEXEC) = 3 0.582 (0.012 ms): touch/17752 open(filename: /tmp/bla, flags: CREAT|NOCTTY|NONBLOCK|WRONLY, mode: 438) = 3 # Roughly equivalent to strace's output: # strace -rT -e open touch /tmp/bla 0.000000 open("/etc/ld.so.cache", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3 <0.000039> 0.000317 open("/lib64/libc.so.6", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3 <0.000102> 0.001461 open("/usr/lib/locale/locale-archive", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3 <0.000072> 0.000405 open("/tmp/bla", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_NOCTTY|O_NONBLOCK, 0666) = 3 <0.000055> 0.000641 +++ exited with 0 +++ # Now we need to either look for at all syscalls that are marked as pointers and have some well known names ("filename", "pathname", etc) and set the arg formatter to the one used for the "open" syscall in this patch. This implementation works for syscalls with just a string being copied from userspace, for matching syscalls with more than one string being copied via the same probe/trace point (vfs_getname) we need to extend the vfs_getname probe spec to include the pointer too, but there are some problems with that in 'perf probe' or the kernel kprobes code, need to investigate before considering supporting multiple strings per syscall.

We were using it as a magic number, 1024, fix that. Eventually we need to stop doing it per line, and do it per arg, traversing the args at output time, to avoid the memmove() calls that will be used in the next cset to replace pointers present at raw_syscalls:sys_enter time with its contents that appear at probe:vfs_getname time, before raw_syscalls:sys_exit time.

The only way I can make this work is if ->status only has !PEBS events set, because if it has both set we'll take that slow path which masks out the !PEBS bits. After masking there are 3 options: - there is one bit set, and its @bit, we increment counts[bit]. - there are multiple bits set, we increment error[] for each set bit, we do not increment counts[]. - there are no bits set, we do nothing. The intent was to never increment counts[] for !PEBS events. Now if we start out with only a single !PEBS event set, we'll pass the test and increment counts[] for a !PEBS and hit the warn.

In callstack mode the LBR is not a ring buffer, but a stack that grows up and down. This means in this case we don't need to access all LBRs, only the ones up to TOS. Do this optimization for the normal LBR read, and the context switch save/restore code. For save/restore it can be done unconditionally, as it only runs when call stack mode is active. This recovers some of the cost of going to 32 LBRs on Skylake. Signed-off-by:

Use the correct index to save/restore the LBR_INFO_x MSR in callstack mode. This is more a cleanup, as even with the wrong index the register was correctly saved/restored, and also LBR callgraph mode in perf tools do not really need anything in LBR_INFO. But still better to use the right index. Signed-off-by:

Add perf core PMU support for future Intel Skylake CPU cores. The code is based on Haswell/Broadwell. There is a new cache event list, based on the updated Haswell event list. Skylake has removed most counter constraints on basic events, so the basic constraints table now only has a single entry (plus the fixed counters). TSX support and various other setups are all shared with Haswell. Skylake has 32 LBR entries. Add a new LBR init function to set this up. The filters are all the same as Haswell. It also has a new LBR format with a separate LBR_INFO_* MSR, but that has been already added earlier. Signed-off-by:

With Arch Perfmon v4 the PMU ack unfreezes the LBRs. So we need to do the PMU ack after the LBR reading, otherwise the LBRs would be polluted by the PMI handler. This is a minimal change. In principle the ACK could be moved much later. Signed-off-by:

ArchPerfmon v4 has some new status bits in GLOBAL_STATUS.

Add support for the new LBRv5 format used on Intel Skylake CPUs. The flags for mispredict, abort, in_tx etc. moved to range of separate LBR_INFO_* MSRs. Teach the LBR code to read those. The original LBR registers stay the same, except they have full sign extension now. LBR_INFO also reports a cycle count to the last branch. Report the cycle information using the new "cycles" branch_info output field. In addition we have to context switch and clear the new INFO MSRs to avoid any information leaks. Signed-off-by:

Intel Skylake supports reporting the time in cycles a branch in the LBR took, to give a rough indication of the basic block performance. Export the cycle information in the branch_info structure. This can be done by just reusing some currently zero padding. This is just the generic header change. The architecture still needs to fill it in. There's no attempt to convert to real time, as we really want cycles here. Signed-off-by:

With PEBSv3 the PEBS record contains a time stamp. That means we can allow free-running PEBS without a PMI even if the user program requested a time stamp. This avoids the need to use -T to get free running PEBS, and also avoids any problems with mis-identifying MMAPs later. Move the free_running_flags state into a variable in x86_pmu and use it. This only works when no explicit clock_id is set. Signed-off-by:

PEBSv3 is the same as the existing PEBSv2 used on Haswell, but it adds a new TSC field. Add support to the generic PEBS handler to handle the new format, and overwrite the perf time stamp using the new native_sched_clock_from_tsc(). Right now the time stamp is just slightly more accurate, as it is nearer the actual event trigger point. With the PEBS threshold > 1 patchkit it will be much more accurate, avoid the problems with MMAP mismatches earlier. The accurate time stamping is only implemented for the default trace clock for now. v2: Use _skl prefix. Check for default clock_id. Signed-off-by:

PEBSv3 has a raw TSC time stamp in its memory buffer that later needs to to be converted to perf_clock. Add a native_sched_clock_from_tsc() that works the same as native_sched_clock(), but starts with an already given TSC value. Paravirt is ignored, it will just get the native clock. But there isn't a para virtualized PEBS anyway. Signed-off-by:

Intel PT chapter in the new Intel Architecture SDM adds several packets corresponding enable bits and registers that control packet generation. Also, additional bits in the Intel PT CPUID leaf were added to enumerate presence and parameters of these new packets and features. The packets and enables are: * CYC: cycle accurate mode, provides the number of cycles elapsed since previous CYC packet; its presence and available threshold values are enumerated via CPUID; * MTC: mini time counter packets, used for tracking TSC time between full TSC packets; its presence and available resolution options are enumerated via CPUID; * PSB packet period is now configurable, available period values are enumerated via CPUID. This patch adds corresponding bit and register definitions, pmu driver capabilities based on CPUID enumeration, new attribute format bits for the new featurens and extends event configuration validation function to take these into account.

Currently, the PT driver zeroes out the status register every time before starting the event. However, all the writable bits are already taken care of in pt_handle_status() function, except the new PacketByteCnt field, which in new versions of PT contains the number of packet bytes written since the last sync (PSB) packet. Zeroing it out before enabling PT forces a sync packet to be written. This means that, with the existing code, a sync packet (PSB and PSBEND, 18 bytes in total) will be generated every time a PT event is scheduled in. To avoid these unnecessary syncs and save a WRMSR in the fast path, this patch changes the default behavior to not clear PacketByteCnt field, so that the sync packets will be generated with the period specified as "psb_period" attribute config field. This has little impact on the trace data as the other packets that are normally sent within PSB+ (between PSB and PSBEND) have their own generation scenarios which do not depend on the sync packets. One exception where we do need to force PSB like this when tracing starts, so that the decoder has a clear sync point in the trace. For this purpose we aready have hw::itrace_started flag, which we are currently using to output PERF_RECORD_ITRACE_START. This patch moves setting itrace_started from perf core to the pmu::start, where it should still be 0 on the very first run. Signed-off-by:

TASK_SIZE is unnecessarily small for compat tasks, and it wasn't possible to make a range breakpoint so large it started in user space and ended in kernel space.

Code on the kprobe blacklist doesn't want unexpected int3 exceptions. It probably doesn't want unexpected debug exceptions either. Be safe: disallow breakpoints in nokprobes code. On non-CONFIG_KPROBES kernels, there is no kprobe blacklist. In that case, disallow kernel breakpoints entirely. It will be particularly important to keep hw breakpoints out of the entry and NMI code once we move debug exceptions off the IST stack. Signed-off-by:
