12 years agoperf trace: New tool
Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo [Wed, 26 Sep 2012 23:05:56 +0000 (20:05 -0300)]
perf trace: New tool

Initially should look loosely like the venerable 'strace' tool, but
using the infrastructure in the perf tools to allow tracing extra
targets:

  [acme@sandy linux]$ perf trace --hell
  Error: unknown option `hell'

   usage: perf trace <PID>

      -p, --pid <pid>       trace events on existing process id
          --tid <tid>       trace events on existing thread id
          --all-cpus        system-wide collection from all CPUs
          --cpu <cpu>       list of cpus to monitor
          --no-inherit      child tasks do not inherit counters
          --mmap-pages <n>  number of mmap data pages
          --uid <user>      user to profile

  [acme@sandy linux]$

Those should have the same semantics as when using with 'perf record'.

It gets stuck sometimes, but hey, it works sometimes too!

In time it should support perf.data based workloads, i.e. it should have
a:
-o filename

Command line option that will produce a perf.data file that can then be
used with 'perf trace' or any of the other perf tools (script, report,
etc).

It will also eventually have the set of functionalities described in the
previous 'trace' prototype by Thomas Gleixner:

   "Announcing a new utility: 'trace'"
   http://lwn.net/Articles/415728/

Also planned is to have some of the features suggested in the comments
of that LWN article.

12 years agoperf evsel: Provide a new constructor for tracepoints
Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo [Tue, 18 Sep 2012 14:21:50 +0000 (11:21 -0300)]
perf evsel: Provide a new constructor for tracepoints

The existing constructor receives a perf_event_attr filled with the
event type and the config.

To reduce the boilerplate for tracepoints, provide a new constructor,
perf_evsel__newtp() that receives the tracepoint name and will open
the debugfs file, call into libtraceevent new pevent_parse_format file
to fill its ->tp_format member, so that users can then just call
perf_evsel__field() to access its fields.

perf kvm: Events analysis tool

Add 'perf kvm stat' support to analyze kvm vmexit/mmio/ioport smartly

Usage:
- kvm stat
  run a command and gather performance counter statistics, it is the alias of
  perf stat

- trace kvm events:
  perf kvm stat record, or, if other tracepoints are interesting as well, we
  can append the events like this:
  perf kvm stat record -e timer:* -a

  If many guests are running, we can track the specified guest by using -p or
  --pid, -a is used to track events generated by all guests.

- show the result:
  perf kvm stat report

The output example is following:
13005
13059

total 2 guests are running on the host

Then, track the guest whose pid is 13059:

only after the next insn.

should only record the state of X86_EFLAGS_TF, and _disable should
check it separately from UPROBE_FIX_SETF.

Remove arch_uprobe_task->restore_flags, add ->saved_tf instead, and
change enable/disable accordingly. This assumes that the probed insn
was not trapped, see the next patch.

arch_uprobe_skip_sstep() logic has the same problem, change it to
check X86_EFLAGS_TF and send SIGTRAP as well. We will cleanup this
all after we fold enable/disable_step into pre/post_hol hooks.

Note: send_sig(SIGTRAP) is not actually right, we need send_sigtrap().

uprobes/x86: Do not (ab)use TIF_SINGLESTEP/user_*_single_step() for single-stepping

user_enable/disable_single_step() was designed for ptrace, it assumes
a single user and does unnecessary and wrong things for uprobes. For
example:

- arch_uprobe_enable_step() can't trust TIF_SINGLESTEP, an
  application itself can set X86_EFLAGS_TF which must be
  preserved after arch_uprobe_disable_step().

- we do not want to set TIF_SINGLESTEP/TIF_FORCED_TF in
  arch_uprobe_enable_step(), this only makes sense for ptrace.

- otoh we leak TIF_SINGLESTEP if arch_uprobe_disable_step()
  doesn't do user_disable_single_step(), the application will
  be killed after the next syscall.

- arch_uprobe_enable_step() does access_process_vm() we do
  not need/want.

Change arch_uprobe_enable/disable_step() to set/clear X86_EFLAGS_TF
directly, this is much simpler and more correct. However, we need to
clear TIF_BLOCKSTEP/DEBUGCTLMSR_BTF before executing the probed insn,
add set_task_blockstep(false).

Note: with or without this patch, there is another (hopefully minor)
problem. A probed "pushf" insn can see the wrong X86_EFLAGS_TF set by
uprobes. Perhaps we should change _disable to update the stack, or
teach arch_uprobe_skip_sstep() to emulate this insn.

12 years agoptrace/x86: Partly fix set_task_blockstep()->update_debugctlmsr() logic

ptrace/x86: Partly fix set_task_blockstep()->update_debugctlmsr() logic

Afaics the usage of update_debugctlmsr() and TIF_BLOCKSTEP in
step.c was always very wrong.

1. update_debugctlmsr() was simply unneeded. The child sleeps
   TASK_TRACED, __switch_to_xtra(next_p => child) should notice
   TIF_BLOCKSTEP and set/clear DEBUGCTLMSR_BTF after resume if
   needed.

2. It is wrong. The state of DEBUGCTLMSR_BTF bit in CPU register
   should always match the state of current's TIF_BLOCKSTEP bit.

3. Even get_debugctlmsr() + update_debugctlmsr() itself does not
   look right. Irq can change other bits in MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR
   register or the caller can be preempted in between.

4. It is not safe to play with TIF_BLOCKSTEP if task != current.
   DEBUGCTLMSR_BTF and TIF_BLOCKSTEP should always match each
   other if the task is running. The tracee is stopped but it
   can be SIGKILL'ed right before set/clear_tsk_thread_flag().

However, now that uprobes uses user_enable_single_step(current)
we can't simply remove update_debugctlmsr(). So this patch adds
the additional "task == current" check and disables irqs to avoid
the race with interrupts/preemption.

Unfortunately this patch doesn't solve the last problem, we need
another fix. Probably we should teach ptrace_stop() to set/clear
single/block stepping after resume.

And afaics there is yet another problem: perf can play with
MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR from nmi, this obviously means that even
__switch_to_xtra() has problems.
