2016-02-10powerpc/perf/hv-gpci: Increase request buffer sizeSukadev Bhattiprolu
The GPCI hcall allows for a 4K buffer but we limit the buffer to 1K. The problem with a 1K buffer is if a request results in returning more values than can be accomodated in the 1K buffer the request will fail. The buffer we are using is currently allocated on the stack and hence limited in size. Instead use a per-CPU 4K buffer like we do with 24x7 counters (hv-24x7.c). While here, rename the macro GPCI_MAX_DATA_BYTES to HGPCI_MAX_DATA_BYTES for consistency with 24x7 counters.

2016-01-28powerpc/perf: Remove PPMU_HAS_SSLOT flag for Power8Madhavan Srinivasan
Commit 7a7868326d77 ("powerpc/perf: Add an explict flag indicating presence of SLOT field") introduced the PPMU_HAS_SSLOT flag to remove the assumption that MMCRA[SLOT] was present when PPMU_ALT_SIPR was not set. That commit's changelog also mentions that Power8 does not support MMCRA[SLOT]. However when the Power8 PMU support was merged, it errnoeously included the PPMU_HAS_SSLOT flag. So remove PPMU_HAS_SSLOT from the Power8 flags. mpe: On systems where MMCRA[SLOT] exists, the field occupies bits 37:39 (IBM numbering). On Power8 bit 37 is reserved, and 38:39 overlap with the high bits of the Threshold Event Counter Mantissa. I am not aware of any published events which use the threshold counting mechanism, which would cause the mantissa bits to be set. So in practice this bug is unlikely to trigger.

2015-10-12powerpc/mm: Differentiate between hugetlb and THP during page walkAneesh Kumar K.V
We need to properly identify whether a hugepage is an explicit or a transparent hugepage in follow_huge_addr(). We used to depend on hugepage shift argument to do that. But in some case that can result in wrong results. For ex: On finding a transparent hugepage we set hugepage shift to PMD_SHIFT. But we can end up clearing the thp pte, via pmdp_huge_get_and_clear. We do prevent reusing the pfn page via the usage of kick_all_cpus_sync(). But that happens after we updated the pte to 0. Hence in follow_huge_addr() we can find hugepage shift set, but transparent huge page check fail for a thp pte. NOTE: We fixed a variant of this race against thp split in commit 691e95fd7396905a38d98919e9c150dbc3ea21a3 ("powerpc/mm/thp: Make page table walk safe against thp split/collapse") Without this patch, we may hit the BUG_ON(flags & FOLL_GET) in follow_page_mask occasionally.

2015-09-13perf/core: Drop PERF_EVENT_TXNSukadev Bhattiprolu
We currently use PERF_EVENT_TXN flag to determine if we are in the middle of a transaction. If in a transaction, we defer the schedulability checks from pmu->add() operation to the pmu->commit() operation. Now that we have "transaction types" (PERF_PMU_TXN_ADD, PERF_PMU_TXN_READ) we can use the type to determine if we are in a transaction and drop the PERF_EVENT_TXN flag. When PERF_EVENT_TXN is dropped, the cpuhw->group_flag on some architectures becomes unused, so drop that field as well. This is an extension of the Powerpc patch from Peter Zijlstra to s390, Sparc and x86 architectures.

2015-09-13powerpc, perf/powerpc/hv-24x7: Use PMU_TXN_READ interfaceSukadev Bhattiprolu
The 24x7 counters in Powerpc allow monitoring a large number of counters simultaneously. They also allow reading several counters in a single HCALL so we can get a more consistent snapshot of the system. Use the PMU's transaction interface to monitor and read several event counters at once. The idea is that users can group several 24x7 events into a single group of events. We use the following logic to submit the group of events to the PMU and read the values: pmu->start_txn() // Initialize before first event for each event in group pmu->read(event); // Queue each event to be read pmu->commit_txn() // Read/update all queuedcounters The ->commit_txn() also updates the event counts in the respective perf_event objects. The perf subsystem can then directly get the event counts from the perf_event and can avoid submitting a new ->read() request to the PMU. Thanks to input from Peter Zijlstra.

2015-09-13perf/core: Add a 'flags' parameter to the PMU transactional interfacesSukadev Bhattiprolu
Currently, the PMU interface allows reading only one counter at a time. But some PMUs like the 24x7 counters in Power, support reading several counters at once. To leveage this functionality, extend the transaction interface to support a "transaction type". The first type, PERF_PMU_TXN_ADD, refers to the existing transactions, i.e. used to _schedule_ all the events on the PMU as a group. A second transaction type, PERF_PMU_TXN_READ, will be used in a follow-on patch, by the 24x7 counters to read several counters at once. Extend the transaction interfaces to the PMU to accept a 'txn_flags' parameter and use this parameter to ignore any transactions that are not of type PERF_PMU_TXN_ADD.

2015-06-02powerpc/perf: Fix book3s kernel to userspace backtracesAnton Blanchard
When we take a PMU exception or a software event we call perf_read_regs(). This overloads regs->result with a boolean that describes if we should use the sampled instruction address register (SIAR) or the regs. If the exception is in kernel, we start with the kernel regs and backtrace through the kernel stack. At this point we switch to the userspace regs and backtrace the user stack with perf_callchain_user(). Unfortunately these regs have not got the perf_read_regs() treatment, so regs->result could be anything. If it is non zero, perf_instruction_pointer() decides to use the SIAR, and we get issues like this: 0.11% qemu-system-ppc [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock_irqsave | ---_raw_spin_lock_irqsave | |--52.35%-- 0 | | | |--46.39%-- __hrtimer_start_range_ns | | kvmppc_run_core | | kvmppc_vcpu_run_hv | | kvmppc_vcpu_run | | kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run | | kvm_vcpu_ioctl | | do_vfs_ioctl | | sys_ioctl | | system_call | | | | | |--67.08%-- _raw_spin_lock_irqsave <--- hi mum | | | | | | | --100.00%-- 0x7e714 | | | 0x7e714 Notice the bogus _raw_spin_irqsave when we transition from kernel (system_call) to userspace (0x7e714). We inserted what was in the SIAR. Add a check in regs_use_siar() to check that the regs in question are from a PMU exception. With this fix the backtrace makes sense: 0.47% qemu-system-ppc [kernel.vmlinux] [k] _raw_spin_lock_irqsave | ---_raw_spin_lock_irqsave | |--53.83%-- 0 | | | |--44.73%-- hrtimer_try_to_cancel | | kvmppc_start_thread | | kvmppc_run_core | | kvmppc_vcpu_run_hv | | kvmppc_vcpu_run | | kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run | | kvm_vcpu_ioctl | | do_vfs_ioctl | | sys_ioctl | | system_call | | __ioctl | | 0x7e714 | | 0x7e714 Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
2015-04-17powerpc/mm/thp: Make page table walk safe against thp split/collapseAneesh Kumar K.V
We can disable a THP split or a hugepage collapse by disabling irq. We do send IPI to all the cpus in the early part of split/collapse, and disabling local irq ensure we don't make progress with split/collapse. If the THP is getting split we return NULL from find_linux_pte_or_hugepte(). For all the current callers it should be ok. We need to be careful if we want to use returned pte_t pointer outside the irq disabled region. W.r.t to THP split, the pfn remains the same, but then a hugepage collapse will result in a pfn change. There are few steps we can take to avoid a hugepage collapse.One way is to take page reference inside the irq disable region. Other option is to take mmap_sem so that a parallel collapse will not happen. We can also disable collapse by taking pmd_lock. Another method used by kvm subsystem is to check whether we had a mmu_notifer update in between using mmu_notifier_retry().

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull perf changes from Ingo Molnar: "Core kernel changes: - One of the more interesting features in this cycle is the ability to attach eBPF programs (user-defined, sandboxed bytecode executed by the kernel) to kprobes. This allows user-defined instrumentation on a live kernel image that can never crash, hang or interfere with the kernel negatively. (Right now it's limited to root-only, but in the future we might allow unprivileged use as well.) (Alexei Starovoitov) - Another non-trivial feature is per event clockid support: this allows, amongst other things, the selection of different clock sources for event timestamps traced via perf. This feature is sought by people who'd like to merge perf generated events with external events that were measured with different clocks: - cluster wide profiling - for system wide tracing with user-space events, - JIT profiling events etc. Matching perf tooling support is added as well, available via the -k, --clockid <clockid> parameter to perf record et al. (Peter Zijlstra) Hardware enablement kernel changes: - x86 Intel Processor Trace (PT) support: which is a hardware tracer on steroids, available on Broadwell CPUs. The hardware trace stream is directly output into the user-space ring-buffer, using the 'AUX' data format extension that was added to the perf core to support hardware constraints such as the necessity to have the tracing buffer physically contiguous. This patch-set was developed for two years and this is the result. A simple way to make use of this is to use BTS tracing, the PT driver emulates BTS output - available via the 'intel_bts' PMU. More explicit PT specific tooling support is in the works as well - will probably be ready by 4.2. (Alexander Shishkin, Peter Zijlstra) - x86 Intel Cache QoS Monitoring (CQM) support: this is a hardware feature of Intel Xeon CPUs that allows the measurement and allocation/partitioning of caches to individual workloads. These kernel changes expose the measurement side as a new PMU driver, which exposes various QoS related PMU events. (The partitioning change is work in progress and is planned to be merged as a cgroup extension.) (Matt Fleming, Peter Zijlstra; CPU feature detection by Peter P Waskiewicz Jr) - x86 Intel Haswell LBR call stack support: this is a new Haswell feature that allows the hardware recording of call chains, plus tooling support. To activate this feature you have to enable it via the new 'lbr' call-graph recording option: perf record --call-graph lbr perf report or: perf top --call-graph lbr This hardware feature is a lot faster than stack walk or dwarf based unwinding, but has some limitations: - It reuses the current LBR facility, so LBR call stack and branch record can not be enabled at the same time. - It is only available for user-space callchains. (Yan, Zheng) - x86 Intel Broadwell CPU support and various event constraints and event table fixes for earlier models. (Andi Kleen) - x86 Intel HT CPUs event scheduling workarounds. This is a complex CPU bug affecting the SNB,IVB,HSW families that results in counter value corruption. The mitigation code is automatically enabled and is transparent. (Maria Dimakopoulou, Stephane Eranian) The perf tooling side had a ton of changes in this cycle as well, so I'm only able to list the user visible changes here, in addition to the tooling changes outlined above: User visible changes affecting all tools: - Improve support of compressed kernel modules (Jiri Olsa) - Save DSO loading errno to better report errors (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - Bash completion for subcommands (Yunlong Song) - Add 'I' event modifier for perf_event_attr.exclude_idle bit (Jiri Olsa) - Support missing -f to override perf.data file ownership. (Yunlong Song) - Show the first event with an invalid filter (David Ahern, Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) User visible changes in individual tools: 'perf data': New tool for converting perf.data to other formats, initially for the CTF (Common Trace Format) from LTTng (Jiri Olsa, Sebastian Siewior) 'perf diff': Add --kallsyms option (David Ahern) 'perf list': Allow listing events with 'tracepoint' prefix (Yunlong Song) Sort the output of the command (Yunlong Song) 'perf kmem': Respect -i option (Jiri Olsa) Print big numbers using thousands' group (Namhyung Kim) Allow -v option (Namhyung Kim) Fix alignment of slab result table (Namhyung Kim) 'perf probe': Support multiple probes on different binaries on the same command line (Masami Hiramatsu) Support unnamed union/structure members data collection. (Masami Hiramatsu) Check kprobes blacklist when adding new events.

(like core, vcpu, lpar above), when specifying the event with the perf tool. Catalog is (at the moment) only parsed on boot. It needs re-parsing when a some hypervisor events occur.

The 24x7 counters are continuously running and not updated on an interrupt. So we record the event counts when stopping the event or deleting it. But to "read" a single counter in 24x7, we allocate a page and pass it into the hypervisor (The HV returns the page full of counters from which we extract the specific counter for this event). We allocate a page using GFP_USER and when deleting the event, we end up with the following warning because we are blocking in interrupt context. [ 698.641709] BUG: scheduling while atomic: swapper/0/0/0x10010000 We could use GFP_ATOMIC but that could result in failures. Pre-allocate a buffer so we don't have to allocate in interrupt context.

2014-11-03powerpc: Replace __get_cpu_var usesChristoph Lameter
This still has not been merged and now powerpc is the only arch that does not have this change. Sorry about missing linuxppc-dev before. V2->V2 - Fix up to work against 3.18-rc1 __get_cpu_var() is used for multiple purposes in the kernel source. One of them is address calculation via the form &__get_cpu_var(x). This calculates the address for the instance of the percpu variable of the current processor based on an offset. Other use cases are for storing and retrieving data from the current processors percpu area. __get_cpu_var() can be used as an lvalue when writing data or on the right side of an assignment. __get_cpu_var() is defined as : __get_cpu_var() always only does an address determination. However, store and retrieve operations could use a segment prefix (or global register on other platforms) to avoid the address calculation. this_cpu_write() and this_cpu_read() can directly take an offset into a percpu area and use optimized assembly code to read and write per cpu variables. This patch converts __get_cpu_var into either an explicit address calculation using this_cpu_ptr() or into a use of this_cpu operations that use the offset. Thereby address calculations are avoided and less registers are used when code is generated. At the end of the patch set all uses of __get_cpu_var have been removed so the macro is removed too. The patch set includes passes over all arches as well. Once these operations are used throughout then specialized macros can be defined in non -x86 arches as well in order to optimize per cpu access by f.e. using a global register that may be set to the per cpu base. Transformations done to __get_cpu_var() 1. Determine the address of the percpu instance of the current processor. DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y); int *x = &__get_cpu_var(y); Converts to int *x = this_cpu_ptr(&y); 2. Same as #1 but this time an array structure is involved.

2014-09-09powerpc/perf: Fix ABIv2 kernel backtracesAnton Blanchard
ABIv2 kernels are failing to backtrace through the kernel. An example: 39.30% readseek2_proce [kernel.kallsyms] [k] find_get_entry | --- find_get_entry __GI___libc_read The problem is in valid_next_sp() where we check that the new stack pointer is at least STACK_FRAME_OVERHEAD below the previous one. ABIv1 has a minimum stack frame size of 112 bytes consisting of 48 bytes and 64 bytes of parameter save area. ABIv2 changes that to 32 bytes with no paramter save area. STACK_FRAME_OVERHEAD is in theory the minimum stack frame size, but we over 240 uses of it, some of which assume that it includes space for the parameter area. We need to work through all our stack defines and rationalise them but let's fix perf now by creating STACK_FRAME_MIN_SIZE and using in valid_next_sp().

2014-08-13powerpc/perf/hv-24x7: Use kmem_cache_freeHimangi Saraogi
Free memory allocated using kmem_cache_zalloc using kmem_cache_free rather than kfree. The Coccinelle semantic patch that makes this change is as follows: // <smpl> @@ expression x,E,c; @@ x = \(kmem_cache_alloc\|kmem_cache_zalloc\|kmem_cache_alloc_node\)(c,...) ... when != x = E when != &x ?-kfree(x) +kmem_cache_free(c,x) // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Himangi Saraogi <himangi774@gmail.com> Acked-by: Julia Lawall <julia.lawall@lip6.fr> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
