      perf tools: Merge all perf_event_attr print functions · 2c5e8c52
      Peter Zijlstra authored
      Currently there's 3 (that I found) different and incomplete
      implementations of printing perf_event_attr.
      
      This is quite silly. Merge the lot.
      
      While this patch does not retain the exact form all printing that I
      found is debug output and thus it should not be critical.
      
      Also, I cannot find a single print_event_desc() caller.

      perf record: Add clockid parameter · 814c8c38
      Peter Zijlstra authored
      Teach perf-record about the new perf_event_attr::{use_clockid, clockid}
      fields. Add a simple parameter to set the clock (if any) to be used for
      the events to be recorded into the data file.
      
      Since we store the entire perf_event_attr in the EVENT_DESC section we
      also already store the used clockid in the data file.

      perf sched replay: Use replay_repeat to calculate the runavg of cpu usage... · ff5f3bbd
      Yunlong Song authored
      perf sched replay: Use replay_repeat to calculate the runavg of cpu usage instead of the default value 10
      
      Since sched->replay_repeat is set to 10 as default, the sched->run_avg,
      sched->runavg_cpu_usage, and sched->runavg_parent_cpu_usage all use
      10 to calculate their value.
      
      However, the replay_repeat can be changed to other value by using -r
      option, so the calculation above should use replay_repeat to achieve
      more accurate results instead of the default value 10.

      perf sched replay: Support using -f to override perf.data file ownership · f0dd330f
      Yunlong Song authored
      Enable to use perf.data when it is not owned by current user or root.
      
      Example:
      
       $ ls -al perf.data
       -rw------- 1 Yunlong.Song Yunlong.Song 5321918 Mar 25 15:14 perf.data
       $ sudo id
       uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root),64(pkcs11)
      
      Before this patch:
      
       $ sudo perf sched replay -f
       run measurement overhead: 98 nsecs
       sleep measurement overhead: 52909 nsecs
       the run test took 1000015 nsecs
       the sleep test took 1054253 nsecs
       File perf.data not owned by current user or root (use -f to override)
      
      As shown above, the -f option does not work at all.
      
      After this patch:
      
       $ sudo perf sched replay -f

      perf sched replay: Fix the EMFILE error caused by the limitation of the maximum open files · 939cda52
      Yunlong Song authored
      The soft maximum number of open files for a calling process is 1024,
      which is defined as INR_OPEN_CUR in include/uapi/linux/fs.h, and the
      hard maximum number of open files for a calling process is 4096, which
      is defined as INR_OPEN_MAX in include/uapi/linux/fs.h.
      
      Both INR_OPEN_CUR and INR_OPEN_MAX are used to limit the value of
      RLIMIT_NOFILE in include/asm-generic/resource.h.
      
      And the soft maximum number finally decides the limitation of the
      maximum files which are allowed to be opened.
      
      That is to say a process can use at most 1024 file descriptors for its
      o pened files, or an EMFILE error will happen.
      
      This error can be fixed by increasing the soft maximum number, under the
      constraint that the soft maximum number can not exceed the hard maximum
      number, or both soft and hard maximum number should be increased
      simultaneously with privilege.
      
      For perf sched replay, it uses sys_perf_event_open to create the file
      descriptor for each of the tasks in order to handle information of perf
      events.
      
      That is to say each task needs a unique file descriptor. In x86_64,
      there may be over 1024 or 4096 tasks correspoinding to the record in
      perf.data, which causes that no enough file descriptors can be used.
      
      As a result, EMFILE error happens and stops the replay process. To solve
      this problem, we adaptively increase the soft and hard maximum number of
      open files with a '-f' option.
      
      Example:
      
      Test environment: x86_64 with 160 cores
      
       $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
       163840
       $ cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max
       6815744
       $ ulimit -Sn
       1024
       $ ulimit -Hn

      perf sched replay: Handle the dead halt of sem_wait when create_tasks() fails for any task · 1aff59be
      Yunlong Song authored
      Since there is sem_wait for each task in the wait_for_tasks(), e.g.
      sem_wait(&task->work_done_sem).
      
      The sem_wait can continue only when work_done_sem is greater than 0, or
      it will be blocked.
      
      For perf sched replay, one task may sem_post the work_done_sem of
      another task, which causes the work_done_sem of that task processed in a
      reasonable sequence, e.g. sem_post, sem_wait, sem_wait, sem_post...
      
      This sequence simulates the sched process of the running tasks at the
      time when perf sched record runs.
      
      As a result, all the tasks are required and their threads must be
      successfully created.
      
      If any one (task A) of the tasks fails to create its thread, then
      another task (task B), whose work_done_sem needs sem_post from that
      failed task A, may likely block itself due to seg_wait.
      
      And this is a dead halt, since task B's thread_func cannot continue at
      all.
      
      To solve this problem, perf sched replay should exit once any task fails
      to create its thread.
      
      Example:
      
      Test environment: x86_64 with 160 cores
      
      Before this patch:
      
       $ perf sched replay
       ...
       Error: sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with -1 (Too many open
       files)
       ------------------------------------------------------------    <- dead halt
      
      After this patch:
      
       $ perf sched replay
       ...
       task   1551 (           <unknown>:         0), nr_events: 10
       Error: sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with -1 (Too many open
       files)
       $
      
      As shown above, perf sched replay finishes the process after printing an
      error message and does not block itself.

      perf sched replay: Fix the segmentation fault problem caused by pr_err in threads · 08097abc
      Yunlong Song authored
      The pr_err in self_open_counters() prints error message to stderr.
      Unlike stdout, stderr uses memory buffer on the stack of each calling
      process.
      
      The pr_err in self_open_counters() works in a thread called thread_func
      created in function create_tasks, which concurrently creates
      sched->nr_tasks threads.
      
      If the error happens and pr_err prints the error message in each of
      these threads, the stack size of the perf process (default is 8192
      kbytes) will quickly run out and the segmentation fault will happen
      then.
      
      To solve this problem, pr_err with self_open_counters() should be moved
      from newly created threads to the old main thread of the perf process.
      Then the pr_err can work in a stable situation without the strange
      segmentation fault problem.
      
      Example:
      
      Test environment: x86_64 with 160 cores
      
      Before this patch:
      
       $ perf sched replay
       ...
       task   1549 (             :163132:    163132), nr_events: 1
       task   1550 (             :163540:    163540), nr_events: 1
       task   1551 (           <unknown>:         0), nr_events: 10
       Segmentation fault
      
      After this patch:
      
       $ perf sched replay
       ...
       task   1549 (             :163132:    163132), nr_events: 1
       task   1550 (             :163540:    163540), nr_events: 1
       task   1551 (           <unknown>:         0), nr_events: 10
       ...
      
      As shown above, the result continues without any segmentation fault.

      perf sched replay: Realloc the memory of pid_to_task stepwise to adapt to the different pid_max configurations
      
      Although the memory of pid_to_task can be allocated via calloc according
      to the value of /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max, it cannot handle the case when
      pid_max is changed after 'perf sched record' has created its perf.data.
      
      If the new pid_max configured in 'perf sched replay' is smaller than the
      old pid_max configured in 'perf sched record', then it will cause the
      assertion failure problem.
      
      To solve this problem, we realloc the memory of pid_to_task stepwise
      once the passed-in pid parameter in register_pid is larger than the
      current pid_max.
      
      Example:
      
      Test environment: x86_64 with 160 cores
      
       $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
       163840
       $ perf sched record ls
       $ echo 5000 > /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
       $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
       5000

       sleep measurement overhead: 55356 nsecs

      perf sched replay: Alloc the memory of pid_to_task dynamically to adapt to the unexpected change of pid_max
      
      The current memory allocation of struct task_desc *pid_to_task[MAX_PID]
      is in a permanent and preset way, and it has two problems:
      
      Problem 1: If the pid_max, which is the max number of pids in the
      system, is much smaller than MAX_PID (1024*1000), then it causes a waste
      of stack memory. This may happen in the case where the number of cpu
      cores is much smaller than 1000.
      
      Problem 2: If the pid_max is changed from the default value to a value
      larger than MAX_PID, then it will cause assertion failure problem. The
      maximum value of pid_max can be set to pid_max_max (see pidmap_init
      defined in kernel/pid.c), which equals to PID_MAX_LIMIT. In x86_64,
      PID_MAX_LIMIT is 4*1024*1024 (defined in include/linux/threads.h). This
      value is much larger than MAX_PID, and will take up 32768 Kbytes
      (4*1024*1024*8/1024) for memory allocation of pid_to_task, which is much
      larger than the default 8192 Kbytes of the stack size of calling
      process.
      
      Due to these two problems, we use calloc to allocate the memory of
      pid_to_task dynamically.
      
      Example:
      
      Test environment: x86_64 with 160 cores
      
       $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
       163840
       $ echo 1025000 > /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
       $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
       1025000
      
      Run some applications until the pid of some process is greater than
      the value of MAX_PID (1024*1000).

      perf sched replay: Increase the MAX_PID value to fix assertion failure problem · a35e27d0
      Yunlong Song authored
      Current MAX_PID is only 65536, which will cause assertion failure problem
      when CPU cores are more than 64 in x86_64.
      
      This is because the pid_max value in x86_64 is at least
      PIDS_PER_CPU_DEFAULT * num_possible_cpus() (see function pidmap_init
      defined in kernel/pid.c), where PIDS_PER_CPU_DEFAULT is 1024 (defined in
      include/linux/threads.h).
      
      Thus for MAX_PID = 65536, the correspoinding CPU cores are
      65536/1024=64.  This is obviously not enough at all for x86_64, and will
      cause an assertion failure problem due to BUG_ON(pid >= MAX_PID) in the
      codes.
      
      We increase MAX_PID value from 65536 to 1024*1000, which can be used in
      x86_64 with 1000 cores.
      
      This number is finally decided according to the limitation of stack size
      of calling process.
      
      Use 'ulimit -a', the result shows the stack size of any process is 8192
      Kbytes, which is defined in include/uapi/linux/resource.h (#define
      _STK_LIM (8*1024*1024)).
      
      Thus we choose a large enough value for MAX_PID, and make it satisfy to
      the limitation of the stack size, i.e., making the perf process take up
      a memory space just smaller than 8192 Kbytes.
      
      We have calculated and tested that 1024*1000 is OK for MAX_PID.
      
      This means perf sched replay can now be used with at most 1000 cores in
      x86_64 without any assertion failure problem.
      
      Example:
      
      Test environment: x86_64 with 160 cores
      
       $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
       163840
      
      Before this patch:
      
       $ perf sched replay
       run measurement overhead: 240 nsecs
       sleep measurement overhead: 55379 nsecs

      tools lib traceevent: Honor operator priority · 3201f0dc
      Namhyung Kim authored
      Currently it ignores operator priority and just sets processed args as a
      right operand.  But it could result in priority inversion in case that
      the right operand is also a operator arg and its priority is lower.
      
      For example, following print format is from new kmem events.
      
        "page=%p", REC->pfn != -1UL ? (((struct page *)(0xffffea0000000000UL)) + (REC->pfn)) : ((void *)0)
      
      But this was treated as below:
      
        REC->pfn != ((null - 1UL) ? ((struct page *)0xffffea0000000000UL + REC->pfn) : (void *) 0)
      
      In this case, the right arg was '?' operator which has lower priority.
      But it just sets the whole arg so making the output confusing - page was
      always 0 or 1 since that's the result of logical operation.
      
      With this patch, it can handle it properly like following:
      
        ((REC->pfn != (null - 1UL)) ? ((struct page *)0xffffea0000000000UL + REC->pfn) : (void *) 0)

      perf script: Support using -f to override perf.data file ownership · 06af0f2c
      Yunlong Song authored
      Enable perf script to use perf.data when it is not owned by current user
      or root. Change the short option name of --fields to -F to avoid confusion
      with --force.
      
      Example:
      
       # perf record ls
       # chown Yunlong.Song:Yunlong.Song perf.data
       # ls -al perf.data
       -rw------- 1 Yunlong.Song Yunlong.Song 28360 Apr  2 14:53 perf.data
       # id
       uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root),64(pkcs11)
      
      Before this patch:
      
       # perf script
       File perf.data not owned by current user or root (use -f to override)
       # perf script -f
         Error: switch `f' requires a value
      
        usage: perf script [<options>]
           or: perf script [<options>] record <script> [<record-options>] <command>
           or: perf script [<options>] report <script> [script-args]
           or: perf script [<options>] <script> [<record-options>] <command>
           or: perf script [<options>] <top-script> [script-args]
      
           -f, --fields <str>    comma separated output fields prepend with
           'type:'. Valid types: hw,sw,trace,raw. Fields:
           comm,tid,pid,time,cpu,event,trace,ip,sym,dso,addr,symoff,period
      
      As shown above, the -f option does not work at all. And -f is already
      taken up by --fields, which makes --force confused, so change the short
      option name of --fields to -F like what other perf commands do (e.g.
      perf report -F) and use -f as the short option name of --force.

      perf kvm: Support using -f to override perf.data.guest file ownership · 8cc5ec1f
      Yunlong Song authored
      Enable perf kvm to use perf.data.guest when it is not owned by current
      user or root.
      
      Example:
      
       # perf kvm stat record ls
       # chown Yunlong.Song:Yunlong.Song perf.data.guest
       # ls -al perf.data.guest

      perf probe: Fix to track down unnamed union/structure members · c7273835
      Masami Hiramatsu authored
      Fix 'perf probe' to track down unnamed union/structure members.
      
      perf probe did not track down the tree of unnamed union/structure
      members, since it just failed to find given "name" in a parent
      structure/union.  To solve this issue, I've introduced 2 changes.
      
      - Fix die_find_member() to track down the type-DIE if it is
        unnamed, and if it contains the specified member, returns the
        unnamed member.
        (note that we don't return found member, since unnamed member
         has the offset in the parent structure)
      - Fix convert_variable_fields() to track down the unnamed union/
        structure (one-by-one).
      
      With this patch, perf probe can access unnamed fields:
        -----
        #./perf probe -nfx ./perf lock__delete ops 'locked_ops=ops->locked.ops'
        Added new event:
          probe_perf:lock__delete (on lock__delete in /home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux-3/tools/perf/perf with ops locked_ops=ops->locked.ops)
      
        You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
      
                perf record -e probe_perf:lock__delete -aR sleep 1

      perf/x86/intel: Streamline LBR MSR handling in PMI · 1a78d937
      Andi Kleen authored
      The perf PMI currently does unnecessary MSR accesses when
      LBRs are enabled. We use LBR freezing, or when in callstack
      mode force the LBRs to only filter on ring 3.
      
      So there is no need to disable the LBRs explicitely in the
      PMI handler.
      
      Also we always unnecessarily rewrite LBR_SELECT in the LBR
      handler, even though it can never change.
      
       5)               |  /* write_msr: MSR_LBR_SELECT(1c8), value 0 */
       5)               |  /* read_msr: MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR(1d9), value 1801 */
       5)               |  /* write_msr: MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR(1d9), value 1801 */
       5)               |  /* write_msr: MSR_CORE_PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL(38f), value 70000000f */
       5)               |  /* write_msr: MSR_CORE_PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL(38f), value 0 */
       5)               |  /* write_msr: MSR_LBR_SELECT(1c8), value 0 */
       5)               |  /* read_msr: MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR(1d9), value 1801 */
       5)               |  /* write_msr: MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR(1d9), value 1801 */
      
      This patch:
      
        - Avoids disabling already frozen LBRs unnecessarily in the PMI
        - Avoids changing LBR_SELECT in the PMI

      perf/x86: Only dump PEBS register when PEBS has been detected · 15fde110
      Andi Kleen authored
      Technically PEBS_ENABLED is only guaranteed to exist when we
      detected PEBS. So add a check for this to the PMU dump function.
      I don't think it can happen on a real CPU, but could in a VM.

      LBRs and LBR freezing are controlled through the DEBUGCTL MSR. So
      dump the state of DEBUGCTL too when dumping the PMU state.

      The PMU reset code didn't quite keep up with newer PMU features.
      Improve it a bit to really reset a modern PMU:
      
        - Clear all overflow status
        - Clear LBRs and freezing state
        - Disable fixed counters too

      perf/x86/intel: Make the HT bug workaround conditional on HT enabled · b37609c3
      Stephane Eranian authored
      This patch disables the PMU HT bug when Hyperthreading (HT)
      is disabled. We cannot do this test immediately when perf_events
      is initialized. We need to wait until the topology information
      is setup properly. As such, we register a later initcall, check
      the topology and potentially disable the workaround. To do this,
      we need to ensure there is no user of the PMU. At this point of
      the boot, the only user is the NMI watchdog, thus we disable
      it during the switch and re-enable it right after.
      
      Having the workaround disabled when it is not needed provides
      some benefits by limiting the overhead is time and space.
      The workaround still ensures correct scheduling of the corrupting
      memory events (0xd0, 0xd1, 0xd2) when HT is off. Those events
      can only be measured on counters 0-3. Something else the current
      kernel did not handle correctly.

      perf/x86/intel: Limit to half counters when the HT workaround is enabled, to avoid exclusive mode starvation
      
      This patch limits the number of counters available to each CPU when
      the HT bug workaround is enabled.
      
      This is necessary to avoid situation of counter starvation. Such can
      arise from configuration where one HT thread, HT0, is using all 4 counters
      with corrupting events which require exclusion the the sibling HT, HT1.
      
      In such case, HT1 would not be able to schedule any event until HT0
      is done. To mitigate this problem, this patch artificially limits
      the number of counters to 2.
      
      That way, we can gurantee that at least 2 counters are not in exclusive
      mode and therefore allow the sibling thread to schedule events of the
      same type (system vs. per-thread). The 2 counters are not determined
      in advance. We simply set the limit to two events per HT.
      
      This helps mitigate starvation in case of events with specific counter
      constraints such a PREC_DIST.
      
      Note that this does not elimintate the starvation is all cases. But
      it is better than not having it.
      
      (Solution suggested by Peter Zjilstra.)
