14 years agoperf report: Implement initial UI using newt
Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo [Thu, 11 Mar 2010 23:12:44 +0000 (20:12 -0300)]
perf report: Implement initial UI using newt

Newt has widespread availability and provides a rather simple
API as can be seen by the size of this patch.

The work needed to support it will benefit other frontends too.

In this initial patch it just checks if the output is a tty, if
not it falls back to the previous behaviour, also if
newt-devel/libnewt-dev is not installed the previous behaviour
is maintaned.

Pressing enter on a symbol will annotate it, ESC in the
annotation window will return to the report symbol list.

More work will be done to remove the special casing in
color_fprintf, stop using fmemopen/FILE in the printing of
hist_entries, etc.

Also the annotation doesn't need to be done via spawning "perf
annotate" and then browsing its output, we can do better by
calling directly the builtin-annotate.c functions, that would
then be moved to tools/perf/util/annotate.c and shared with perf
top, etc

But lets go by baby steps, this patch already improves perf
usability by allowing to quickly do annotations on symbols from
the report screen and provides a first experimentation with
libnewt/TUI integration of tools.

Tested on RHEL5 and Fedora12 X86_64 and on Debian PARISC64 to
browse a perf.data file collected on a Fedora12 x86_64 box.

14 years agoperf, x86: Implement initial P4 PMU driver
Cyrill Gorcunov [Thu, 11 Mar 2010 16:54:39 +0000 (19:54 +0300)]
perf, x86: Implement initial P4 PMU driver

The netburst PMU is way different from the "architectural
perfomance monitoring" specification that current CPUs use.
P4 uses a tuple of ESCR+CCCR+COUNTER MSR registers to handle
perfomance monitoring events.

A few implementational details:

1) We need a separate x86_pmu::hw_config helper in struct
   x86_pmu since register bit-fields are quite different from P6,
   Core and later cpu series.

2) For the same reason is a x86_pmu::schedule_events helper
   introduced.

3) hw_perf_event::config consists of packed ESCR+CCCR values.
   It's allowed since in reality both registers only use a half
   of their size. Of course before making a real write into a
   particular MSR we need to unpack the value and extend it to
   a proper size.

4) The tuple of packed ESCR+CCCR in hw_perf_event::config
   doesn't describe the memory address of ESCR MSR register
   so that we need to keep a mapping between these tuples
   used and available ESCR (various P4 events may use same
   ESCRs but not simultaneously), for this sake every active
   event has a per-cpu map of hw_perf_event::idx <--> ESCR
   addresses.

5) Since hw_perf_event::idx is an offset to counter/control register
   we need to lift X86_PMC_MAX_GENERIC up, otherwise kernel
   strips it down to 8 registers and event armed may never be turned
   off (ie the bit in active_mask is set but the loop never reaches
   this index to check), thanks to Peter Zijlstra

Restrictions:

 - No cascaded counters support (do we ever need them?)
 - No dependent events support (so PERF_COUNT_HW_INSTRUCTIONS
   doesn't work for now)
 - There are events with same counters which can't work simultaneously
   (need to use intersected ones due to broken counter 1)
 - No PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_ events yet

Todo:

 - Implement dependent events
 - Need proper hashing for event opcodes (no linear search, good for
   debugging stage but not in real loads)
 - Some events counted during a clock cycle -- need to set threshold
   for them and count every clock cycle just to get summary statistics
   (ie to behave the same way as other PMUs do)
 - Need to swicth to use event_constraints
 - To support RAW events we need to encode a global list of P4 events
   into p4_templates
 - Cache events need to be added

Event support status matrix:

 Event status
 -----------------------------
 cycles works
 cache-references works
 cache-misses works
 branch-misses works
 bus-cycles partially (does not work on 64bit cpu with HT enabled)
 instruction doesnt work (needs dependent event [mop tagging])
 branches doesnt work

This happens because we only iterate the n_running events in the first
pass, and reset their index to -1 if they don't match to force a
re-assignment.

Now, in our RR example, n_running == 0 because we fully unscheduled, so
event-50 will retain its idx==32, even though in scheduling it will have
gotten idx=0, and we don't trigger the re-assign path.

The easiest way to fix this is the below patch, which simply validates
the full assignment in the second pass.

14 years agoperf tools: Fix sparse CPU numbering related bugs
Paul Mackerras [Wed, 10 Mar 2010 09:36:09 +0000 (20:36 +1100)]
perf tools: Fix sparse CPU numbering related bugs

At present, the perf subcommands that do system-wide monitoring
(perf stat, perf record and perf top) don't work properly unless
the online cpus are numbered 0, 1, ..., N-1.  These tools ask
for the number of online cpus with sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN)
and then try to create events for cpus 0, 1, ..., N-1.

This creates problems for systems where the online cpus are
numbered sparsely.  For example, a POWER6 system in
single-threaded mode (i.e. only running 1 hardware thread per
core) will have only even-numbered cpus online.

This fixes the problem by reading the /sys/devices/system/cpu/online
file to find out which cpus are online.  The code that does that is in
tools/perf/util/cpumap.[ch], and consists of a read_cpu_map()
function that sets up a cpumap[] array and returns the number of
online cpus.  If /sys/devices/system/cpu/online can't be read or
can't be parsed successfully, it falls back to using sysconf to
ask how many cpus are online and sets up an identity map in cpumap[].

The perf record, perf stat and perf top code then calls
read_cpu_map() in the system-wide monitoring case (instead of
sysconf) and uses cpumap[] to get the cpu numbers to pass to
perf_event_open.

Paul Mackerras [Wed, 10 Mar 2010 09:45:52 +0000 (20:45 +1100)]
perf_event: Fix oops triggered by cpu offline/online

Anton Blanchard found that he could reliably make the kernel hit a
BUG_ON in the slab allocator by taking a cpu offline and then online
while a system-wide perf record session was running.

The reason is that when the cpu comes up, we completely reinitialize
the ctx field of the struct perf_cpu_context for the cpu.  If there is
a system-wide perf record session running, then there will be a struct
perf_event that has a reference to the context, so its refcount will
be 2.  (The perf_event has been removed from the context's group_entry
and event_entry lists by perf_event_exit_cpu(), but that doesn't
remove the perf_event's reference to the context and doesn't decrement
the context's refcount.)

When the cpu comes up, perf_event_init_cpu() gets called, and it calls
__perf_event_init_context() on the cpu's context.  That resets the
refcount to 1.  Then when the perf record session finishes and the
perf_event is closed, the refcount gets decremented to 0 and the
context gets kfreed after an RCU grace period.  Since the context
wasn't kmalloced -- it's part of a per-cpu variable -- bad things
happen.

In fact we don't need to completely reinitialize the context when the
cpu comes up.  It's sufficient to initialize the context once at boot,
but we need to do it for all possible cpus.

This moves the context initialization to happen at boot time.  With
this, we don't trash the refcount and the context never gets kfreed,
and we don't hit the BUG_ON.

Frederic Weisbecker [Wed, 3 Mar 2010 06:16:16 +0000 (07:16 +0100)]
perf: Take a hot regs snapshot for trace events

We are taking a wrong regs snapshot when a trace event triggers.
Either we use get_irq_regs(), which gives us the interrupted
registers if we are in an interrupt, or we use task_pt_regs()
which gives us the state before we entered the kernel, assuming
we are lucky enough to be no kernel thread, in which case
task_pt_regs() returns the initial set of regs when the kernel
thread was started.

What we want is different. We need a hot snapshot of the regs,
so that we can get the instruction pointer to record in the
sample, the frame pointer for the callchain, and some other
things.

Let's use the new perf_fetch_caller_regs() for that.

Comparison with perf record -e lock: -R -a -f -g
Before:

        perf  [kernel]                   [k] __do_softirq
               |
               --- __do_softirq
                  |
                  |--55.16%-- __open
                  |
                   --44.84%-- __write_nocancel

After:

            perf  [kernel]           [k] perf_tp_event
               |
               --- perf_tp_event
                  |
                  |--41.07%-- lock_acquire
                  |          |
                  |          |--39.36%-- _raw_spin_lock
                  |          |          |
                  |          |          |--7.81%-- hrtimer_interrupt
                  |          |          |          smp_apic_timer_interrupt
                  |          |          |          apic_timer_interrupt

The old case was producing unreliable callchains. Now having
right frame and instruction pointers, we have the trace we
want.

Also syscalls and kprobe events already have the right regs,
let's use them instead of wasting a retrieval.

perf: Introduce new perf_fetch_caller_regs() for hot regs snapshot

Events that trigger overflows by interrupting a context can
use get_irq_regs() or task_pt_regs() to retrieve the state
when the event triggered. But this is not the case for some
other class of events like trace events as tracepoints are
executed in the same context than the code that triggered
the event.

It means we need a different api to capture the regs there,
namely we need a hot snapshot to get the most important
informations for perf: the instruction pointer to get the
event origin, the frame pointer for the callchain, the code
segment for user_mode() tests (we always use __KERNEL_CS as
trace events always occur from the kernel) and the eflags
for further purposes.

lockdep: Move lock events under lockdep recursion protection

There are rcu locked read side areas in the path where we submit
a trace event. And these rcu_read_(un)lock() trigger lock events,
which create recursive events.

One pair in do_perf_sw_event:

__lock_acquire
      |
      |--96.11%-- lock_acquire
      |          |
      |          |--27.21%-- do_perf_sw_event

      |          |          |          |
      |          |          |          |--33.85%-- _raw_spin_unlock

Another pair in perf_output_begin/end:

__lock_acquire
      |--23.40%-- perf_output_begin
      |          |          __perf_event_overflow
      |          |          perf_swevent_overflow

      |          |          |          |
      |          |          |          |--37.31%-- _raw_spin_lock

The problem is not that much the trace recursion itself, as we have a
recursion protection already (though it's always wasteful to recurse).
But the trace events are outside the lockdep recursion protection, then
each lockdep event triggers a lock trace, which will trigger two
other lockdep events. Here the recursive lock trace event won't
be taken because of the trace recursion, so the recursion stops there
but lockdep will still analyse these new events:

To sum up, for each lockdep events we have:

lock_*()
     |
             trace lock_acquire
                  |
                  ----- rcu_read_lock()
                  |          |
                  |          lock_acquire()
                  |          |
                  |          trace_lock_acquire() (stopped)
                  |          |
  |          lockdep analyze
                  |
                  ----- rcu_read_unlock()
                             |
                             lock_release
                             |
                             trace_lock_release() (stopped)
                             |
                             lockdep analyze

And you can repeat the above two times as we have two rcu read side
sections when we submit an event.

This is fixed in this patch by moving the lock trace event under
the lockdep recursion protection.

perf, x86: Fix double enable calls

hw_perf_enable() would enable already enabled events.

This causes problems with code that assumes that ->enable/->disable calls
are balanced (like the LBR code does).

What happens is that events that were already running and left in place
would get enabled again.

Avoid this by only enabling new events that match their previous
assignment.

so we can further clean up the timekeeping core.

[S390] cio: fix init_count in case of recognition after steal lock

After we try to steal a lock on a ccw device in boxed state,
we have to restart device recognition and potentially reprobing.

In this case ccw_device_init_count was erroneously decreased
twice. This patch fixes the issue.

[S390] hvc_iucv: allocate memory buffers for IUCV in zone DMA

The device driver must allocate memory for IUCV buffers with GFP_DMA,
because IUCV cannot address memory above 2GB (31bit addresses only).

Because the IUCV ignores the higher bits of the address, sending and
receiving IUCV data with this driver might cause memory corruptions.
