perf, powerpc: Fix power_pmu_event_init to not use event->ctx

Commit c3f00c70 ("perf: Separate find_get_context() from event
initialization") changed the generic perf_event code to call
perf_event_alloc, which calls the arch-specific event_init code,
before looking up the context for the new event.  Unfortunately,
power_pmu_event_init uses event->ctx->task to see whether the
new event is a per-task event or a system-wide event, and thus
crashes since event->ctx is NULL at the point where
power_pmu_event_init gets called.

(The reason it needs to know whether it is a per-task event is
because there are some hardware events on Power systems which
only count when the processor is not idle, and there are some
fixed-function counters which count such events.  For example,
the "run cycles" event counts cycles when the processor is not
idle.  If the user asks to count cycles, we can use "run cycles"
if this is a per-task event, since the processor is running when
the task is running, by definition.  We can't use "run cycles"
if the user asks for "cycles" on a system-wide counter.)

Fortunately the information we need is in the
event->attach_state field, so we just use that instead.

separate section that stores all the callers of mcount.

The problem comes up when we need to build recordmcount. The

for empty.o will try to execute recordmcount on the empty.o file.
We get an error that recordmcount does not exist.

14 years agoperf_events: Fix transaction recovery in group_sched_in()
Stephane Eranian [Fri, 15 Oct 2010 14:54:01 +0000 (16:54 +0200)]
perf_events: Fix transaction recovery in group_sched_in()

The group_sched_in() function uses a transactional approach to schedule
a group of events. In a group, either all events can be scheduled or
none are. To schedule each event in, the function calls event_sched_in().
In case of error, event_sched_out() is called on each event in the group.

The problem is that event_sched_out() does not completely cancel the
effects of event_sched_in(). Furthermore event_sched_out() changes the
state of the event as if it had run which is not true is this particular
case.

Those inconsistencies impact time tracking fields and may lead to events
in a group not all reporting the same time_enabled and time_running values.
This is demonstrated with the example below:

$ task -eunhalted_core_cycles,baclears,baclears -e unhalted_core_cycles,baclears,baclears sleep 5
1946101 unhalted_core_cycles (32.85% scaling, ena=829181, run=556827)
  11423 baclears (32.85% scaling, ena=829181, run=556827)
   7671 baclears (0.00% scaling, ena=556827, run=556827)

2250443 unhalted_core_cycles (57.83% scaling, ena=962822, run=405995)
  11705 baclears (57.83% scaling, ena=962822, run=405995)
  11705 baclears (57.83% scaling, ena=962822, run=405995)

Notice that in the first group, the last baclears event does not
report the same timings as its siblings.

This issue comes from the fact that tstamp_stopped is updated
by event_sched_out() as if the event had actually run.

To solve the issue, we must ensure that, in case of error, there is
no change in the event state whatsoever. That means timings must
remain as they were when entering group_sched_in().

To do this we defer updating tstamp_running until we know the
transaction succeeded. Therefore, we have split event_sched_in()
in two parts separating the update to tstamp_running.

Similarly, in case of error, we do not want to update tstamp_stopped.
Therefore, we have split event_sched_out() in two parts separating
the update to tstamp_stopped.

With this patch, we now get the following output:

$ task -eunhalted_core_cycles,baclears,baclears -e unhalted_core_cycles,baclears,baclears sleep 5
2492050 unhalted_core_cycles (71.75% scaling, ena=1093330, run=308841)
  11243 baclears (71.75% scaling, ena=1093330, run=308841)
  11243 baclears (71.75% scaling, ena=1093330, run=308841)

1852746 unhalted_core_cycles (0.00% scaling, ena=784489, run=784489)
   9253 baclears (0.00% scaling, ena=784489, run=784489)
   9253 baclears (0.00% scaling, ena=784489, run=784489)

Note that the uneven timing between groups is a side effect of
the process spending most of its time sleeping, i.e., not enough
event rotations (but that's a separate issue).

be returned. Here is an example on AMD64. The task program
is an example from libpfm4. The -p prints deltas every 1s.

$ task -p -e cpu_clk_unhalted sleep 5
    2,266,610 cpu_clk_unhalted (0.00% scaling, ena=2,158,982, run=2,158,982)

5,242,358,071 cpu_clk_unhalted (99.95% scaling, ena=5,000,359,984, run=2,319,270)

Whereas if you don't read deltas, e.g., no call to perf_event_read() until
the process terminates:

$ task -e cpu_clk_unhalted sleep 5
    2,497,783 cpu_clk_unhalted (0.00% scaling, ena=2,376,899, run=2,376,899)

Notice that time_enable, time_running are bogus in the first example
causing bogus scaling.

This patch fixes the problem, by conditionally calling update_context_time()
in perf_event_read().

14 years agotracing: Remove parent recording in latency tracer graph options
Steven Rostedt [Wed, 6 Oct 2010 03:22:19 +0000 (23:22 -0400)]
tracing: Remove parent recording in latency tracer graph options

Even though the parent is recorded with the normal function tracing
of the latency tracers (irqsoff and wakeup), the function graph
recording is bogus.

This is due to the function graph messing with the return stack.
The latency tracers pass in as the parent CALLER_ADDR0, which
works fine for plain function tracing. But this causes bogus output
with the graph tracer:

 3)    <idle>-0    |  d.s3.  0.000 us    |  return_to_handler();
 3)    <idle>-0    |  d.s3.  0.000 us    |  _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore();
 3)    <idle>-0    |  d.s3.  0.000 us    |  return_to_handler();
 3)    <idle>-0    |  d.s3.  0.000 us    |  trace_hardirqs_on();

The "return_to_handle()" call is the trampoline of the
function graph tracer, and is meaningless in this context.

Steven Rostedt [Fri, 15 Oct 2010 15:49:47 +0000 (11:49 -0400)]
ftrace: Do not process kernel/trace/ftrace.o with C recordmcount program

The file kernel/trace/ftrace.c references the mcount() call to
convert the mcount() callers to nops. But because it references
mcount(), the mcount() address is placed in the relocation table.

The C version of recordmcount reads the relocation table of all
object files, and it will add all references to mcount to the
__mcount_loc table that is used to find the places that call mcount()
and change the call to a nop. When recordmcount finds the mcount reference
in kernel/trace/ftrace.o, it saves that location even though the code
is not a call, but references mcount as data.

On boot up, when all calls are converted to nops, the code has a safety
check to determine what op code it is actually replacing before it
replaces it. If that op code at the address does not match, then
a warning is printed and the function tracer is disabled.

The reference to mcount in ftrace.c, causes this warning to trigger,
since the reference is not a call to mcount(). The ftrace.c file is
not compiled with the -pg flag, so no calls to mcount() should be
expected.

This patch simply makes recordmcount.c skip the kernel/trace/ftrace.c
file. This was the same solution used by the perl version of
recordmcount.

modules: Fix module_bug_list list corruption race

With all the recent module loading cleanups, we've minimized the code
that sits under module_mutex, fixing various deadlocks and making it
possible to do most of the module loading in parallel.

However, that whole conversion totally missed the rather obscure code
that adds a new module to the list for BUG() handling.  That code was
doubly obscure because (a) the code itself lives in lib/bugs.c (for
dubious reasons) and (b) it gets called from the architecture-specific
"module_finalize()" rather than from generic code.

Calling it from arch-specific code makes no sense what-so-ever to begin
with, and is now actively wrong since that code isn't protected by the
module loading lock any more.

So this commit moves the "module_bug_{finalize,cleanup}()" calls away
from the arch-specific code, and into the generic code - and in the
process protects it with the module_mutex so that the list operations
are now safe.

Future fixups:
 - move the module list handling code into kernel/module.c where it
   belongs.
 - get rid of 'module_bug_list' and just use the regular list of modules
   (called 'modules' - imagine that) that we already create and maintain
   for other reasons.
