13 years agoperf, x86: Complain louder about BIOSen corrupting CPU/PMU state and continue

perf, x86: Complain louder about BIOSen corrupting CPU/PMU state and continue

Eric Dumazet reported that hardware PMU events do not work on his
system, due to the BIOS corrupting PMU state:

    Performance Events: PEBS fmt0+, Core2 events, Broken BIOS detected, using software events only.
    [Firmware Bug]: the BIOS has corrupted hw-PMU resources (MSR 186 is 43003c)

Linus suggested that we continue in the face of such BIOS-induced CPU
state corruption:

   http://lkml.org/lkml/2011/3/24/608

Such BIOSes will have to be fixed - Linux developers rely on a working and
fully capable PMU and the BIOS interfering with the CPU's PMU state is simply
not acceptable.

So this patch changes perf to continue when it detects such BIOS
interaction, some hardware events may be unreliable due to the BIOS
writing and re-writing them - there's not much the kernel can do
about that but to detect the corruption and report it.

13 years agoperf, x86: P4 PMU - Read proper MSR register to catch unflagged overflows

perf, x86: P4 PMU - Read proper MSR register to catch unflagged overflows

The read of a proper MSR register was missed and instead of
counter the configration register was tested (it has
ARCH_P4_UNFLAGGED_BIT always cleared) leading to unknown NMI
hitting the system. As result the user may obtain "Dazed and
confused, but trying to continue" message. Fix it by reading a
proper MSR register.

When an NMI happens on a P4, the perf nmi handler checks the
configuration register to see if the overflow bit is set or not
before taking appropriate action.  Unfortunately, various P4
machines had a broken overflow bit, so a backup mechanism was
implemented.  This mechanism checked to see if the counter
rolled over or not.

A previous commit that implemented this backup mechanism was
broken. Instead of reading the counter register, it used the
configuration register to determine if the counter rolled over
or not. Reading that bit would give incorrect results.

This would lead to 'Dazed and confused' messages for the end
user when using the perf tool (or if the nmi watchdog is
running).

The fix is to read the counter register before determining if
the counter rolled over or not.

perf: Better fit max unprivileged mlock pages for tools needs

The maximum kilobytes of locked memory that an unprivileged user
can reserve is of 512 kB = 128 pages by default, scaled to the
number of onlined CPUs, which fits well with the tools that use
128 data pages by default.

However tools actually use 129 pages, because they need one more

not sufficient for the default tools needs and we always end up
to evaluate the constant mlock rlimit policy, which doesn't have
this scaling with the number of online CPUs.

Hence, on systems that have more than 16 CPUs, we overlap the
rlimit threshold and fail to mmap:

$ perf record ls

Just increase the max unprivileged mlock threshold by one page

perf tools: Version incorrect with some versions of grep

Some versions of grep don't treat '\s' properly. When building perf on such
systems and using a kernel tarball the perf version is unable to be determined
from the main kernel Makefile and the user is left with a version of '..'.
Replacing the use of '\s' with '[[:space:]]', which should work in all grep

13 years agoVFS: Fix the nfs sillyrename regression in kernel 2.6.38

VFS: Fix the nfs sillyrename regression in kernel 2.6.38

The new vfs locking scheme introduced in 2.6.38 breaks NFS sillyrename
because the latter relies on being able to determine the parent
directory of the dentry in the ->iput() callback in order to send the
appropriate unlink rpc call.

Looking at the code that cares about races with dput(), there doesn't
seem to be anything that specifically uses d_parent as a test for
whether or not there is a race:
  - __d_lookup_rcu(), __d_lookup() all test for d_hashed() after d_parent
  - shrink_dcache_for_umount() is safe since nothing else can rearrange
    the dentries in that super block.
  - have_submount(), select_parent() and d_genocide() can test for a
    deletion if we set the DCACHE_DISCONNECTED flag when the dentry
    is removed from the parent's d_subdirs list.

New kind of open files - "location only".

New flag for open(2) - O_PATH.  Semantics:
* pathname is resolved, but the file itself is _NOT_ opened
as far as filesystem is concerned.
* almost all operations on the resulting descriptors shall
fail with -EBADF.  Exceptions are:
1) operations on descriptors themselves (i.e.
close(), dup(), dup2(), dup3(), fcntl(fd, F_DUPFD),
fcntl(fd, F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC, ...), fcntl(fd, F_GETFD),
fcntl(fd, F_SETFD, ...))
2) fcntl(fd, F_GETFL), for a common non-destructive way to
check if descriptor is open
3) "dfd" arguments of ...at(2) syscalls, i.e. the starting
points of pathname resolution
* closing such descriptor does *NOT* affect dnotify or
posix locks.
* permissions are checked as usual along the way to file;
no permission checks are applied to the file itself.  Of course,
giving such thing to syscall will result in permission checks (at
the moment it means checking that starting point of ....at() is
a directory and caller has exec permissions on it).

fget() and fget_light() return NULL on such descriptors; use of
fget_raw() and fget_raw_light() is needed to get them.  That protects
existing code from dealing with those things.

There are two things still missing (they come in the next commits):
one is handling of symlinks (right now we refuse to open them that
way; see the next commit for semantics related to those) and another
is descriptor passing via SCM_RIGHTS datagrams.

We don't hold locks so we actually can and want to fault here, because
the get_user() before futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() does not

better.

Use the helper function which disables page faults around the
futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() and handle a fault with a call to
fault_in_user_writeable() as all other places in the futex code do as
well.

    The armpmu_event_update function right-shifts a signed 64-bit delta variable

    - Most archs use one callchain buffer per cpu, except x86 that needs
      to deal with NMIs. Provide a default perf_callchain_buffer()
      implementation that x86 overrides.

    - Centralize all the kernel/user regs handling and invoke new arch
      handlers from there: perf_callchain_user() / perf_callchain_kernel()
      That avoid all the user_mode(), current->mm checks and so...

    - Invert some parameters in perf_callchain_*() helpers: entry to the
      left, regs to the right, following the traditional (dst, src).

    perf: Generalize callchain_store()

    callchain_store() is the same on every archs, inline it in
    perf_event.h and rename it to perf_callchain_store() to avoid
    any collision.

    This removes repetitive code.

    Drop the TASK_RUNNING test on user tasks for callchains as
    this check doesn't seem to make any sense.

    Also remove the tests for !current that is not supposed to
    happen and current->pid as this should be handled at the
    generic level, with exclude_idle attribute.

MIPS, Perf-events: Fix event check in validate_event()

Ignore events that are in off/error state or belong to a different PMU.

This patch originates from the following commit for ARM by Will Deacon:

65b4711ff513767341aa1915c822de6ec0de65cb
    ARM: 6352/1: perf: fix event validation

    The validate_event function in the ARM perf events backend has the
    following problems:

    1.) Events that are disabled count towards the cost.
    2.) Events associated with other PMUs [for example, software events or
        breakpoints] do not count towards the cost, but do fail validation,
        causing the group to fail.

    This patch changes validate_event so that it ignores events in the
    PERF_EVENT_STATE_OFF state or that are scheduled for other PMUs.

MIPS, Perf-events: Work with the new PMU interface

This is the MIPS part of the following commits by Peter Zijlstra:

a4eaf7f14675cb512d69f0c928055e73d0c6d252
    perf: Rework the PMU methods

    Replace pmu::{enable,disable,start,stop,unthrottle} with
    pmu::{add,del,start,stop}, all of which take a flags argument.

    The new interface extends the capability to stop a counter while
    keeping it scheduled on the PMU. We replace the throttled state with
    the generic stopped state.

    This also allows us to efficiently stop/start counters over certain
    code paths (like IRQ handlers).

    It also allows scheduling a counter without it starting, allowing for
    a generic frozen state (useful for rotating stopped counters).

    The stopped state is implemented in two different ways, depending on
    how the architecture implemented the throttled state:

     1) We disable the counter:
        a) the pmu has per-counter enable bits, we flip that
        b) we program a NOP event, preserving the counter state

     2) We store the counter state and ignore all read/overflow events

For MIPSXX, the stopped state is implemented in the way of 1.b as above.

    remove it for now. This eases the removal of the __weak

MIPS, Perf-events: Work with irq_work

This is the MIPS part of the following commit by Peter Zijlstra:

e360adbe29241a0194e10e20595360dd7b98a2b3
    irq_work: Add generic hardirq context callbacks

    Provide a mechanism that allows running code in IRQ context. It is
    most useful for NMI code that needs to interact with the rest of the
    system -- like wakeup a task to drain buffers.

    Perf currently has such a mechanism, so extract that and provide it as
    a generic feature, independent of perf so that others may also
    benefit.

    The IRQ context callback is generated through self-IPIs where
    possible, or on architectures like powerpc the decrementer (the
    built-in timer facility) is set to generate an interrupt immediately.

    Architectures that don't have anything like this get to do with a
    callback from the timer tick. These architectures can call
    irq_work_run() at the tail of any IRQ handlers that might enqueue such
    work (like the perf IRQ handler) to avoid undue latencies in
    processing the work.

For MIPSXX, we need to call irq_work_run() at the tail of the perf IRQ
handler as described above.
