I.e. don't drop al->filtered entries, create the hist_entries and use its ->filtered bitmap, that is kept with the same semantics for its bitmap, leaving the filtering to be done at the hist_entry level, i.e. in the UIs. This will allow zooming in/out the filters. Signed-off-by:

Namhyung Kim authored
Instead of bailing out as soon as we find a filter that applies, go on checking all of them so that we can zoom in/out filters. We also need to make sure we only update al->filtered after thread__find_addr_map(), because there is where al->filtered gets initialized to zero. This will increase the cost of processing when all we don't need this toggling, but will provide flexibility for the TUI and GTK+ interfaces, that will incur in creating the hist_entries just once.

By turning the addr_location->filtered member from a boolean to a u8 bitmap, reusing (and extending) the hist_filter enum for that. This patch doesn't change the logic at all, as it keeps the meaning of al->filtered !0 to mean that the entry _was_ filtered, so no change in how this value is interpreted needs to be done at this point. This will be soon used in upcoming patches. Signed-off-by:

When trying to capture perf data on a system running spejbb2013, perf hung for about 15 minutes. This is because it took that long to gather about 10,000 thread maps and process them. I don't think a user wants to wait that long. Instead, recognize that thread maps are roughly equivalent to pid maps and just quickly copy those instead. To do this, I synthesize 'fork' events, this eventually calls thread__fork() and copies the maps over. The overhead goes from 15 minutes down to about a few seconds. -- V2: based on Jiri's comments, moved malloc up a level and made sure the memory was freed Signed-off-by:Don Zickus <dzickus@redhat.com> Acked-by:

When some of group member has 0 overhead, it printed previous percentage instead of 0.00%. It's because passing integer 0 as a percent rather than double 0.0 so the remaining bits came from garbage. The TUI and GTK don't have this problem since they pass 0.0.

Don Zickus authored
Currently if a process creates a bunch of threads using pthread_create and then perf is run in system_wide mode, the mmaps for those threads are not captured with a synthesized mmap event. The reason is those threads are not visible when walking the /proc/ directory looking for /proc/<pid>/maps files. Instead they are discovered using the /proc/<pid>/tasks file (which the synthesized comm event uses). This causes problems when a program is trying to map a data address to a tid. Because the tid has no maps, the event is dropped. Changing the program to look up using the pid instead of the tid, finds the correct maps but creates ugly hacks in the program to carry the correct tid around. Fix this by moving the walking of the /proc/<pid>/tasks up a level (out of the comm function) based on Arnaldo's suggestion. Tweaked things a bit to special case the 'full' bit and 'guest' check.

Introduce futexes to perf-bench and add a program that stresses and measures the kernel's implementation of the hash table. This is a multi-threaded program that simply measures the amount of failed futex wait calls - we only want to deal with the hashing overhead, so a negative return of futex_wait_setup() is enough to do the trick. An example run: $ perf bench futex hash -t 32 Run summary [PID 10989]: 32 threads, each operating on 1024 [private] futexes for 10 secs.

The expected logic of proc_map_files_get_link() is either to return 0 and initialize 'path' or return an error and leave 'path' uninitialized. By the time dname_to_vma_addr() returns 0 the corresponding vma may have already be gone. In this case the path is not initialized but the return value is still 0. This results in 'general protection fault' inside d_path().

We received several reports of bad page state when freeing CMA pages previously allocated with alloc_contig_range: BUG: Bad page state in process Binder_A pfn:63202 page:d21130b0 count:0 mapcount:1 mapping: (null) index:0x7dfbf page flags: 0x40080068(uptodate|lru|active|swapbacked) Based on the page state, it looks like the page was still in use. The page flags do not make sense for the use case though. Further debugging showed that despite alloc_contig_range returning success, at least one page in the range still remained in the buddy allocator. There is an issue with isolate_freepages_block. In strict mode (which CMA uses), if any pages in the range cannot be isolated, isolate_freepages_block should return failure 0. The current check keeps track of the total number of isolated pages and compares against the size of the range: if (strict && nr_strict_required > total_isolated) total_isolated = 0; After taking the zone lock, if one of the pages in the range is not in the buddy allocator, we continue through the loop and do not increment total_isolated. If in the last iteration of the loop we isolate more than one page (e.g. last page needed is a higher order page), the check for total_isolated may pass and we fail to detect that a page was skipped. The fix is to bail out if the loop immediately if we are in strict mode. There's no benfit to continuing anyway since we need all pages to be isolated. Additionally, drop the error checking based on nr_strict_required and just check the pfn ranges. This matches with what isolate_freepages_range does.

GFP_THISNODE is for callers that implement their own clever fallback to remote nodes. It restricts the allocation to the specified node and does not invoke reclaim, assuming that the caller will take care of it when the fallback fails, e.g. through a subsequent allocation request without GFP_THISNODE set. However, many current GFP_THISNODE users only want the node exclusive aspect of the flag, without actually implementing their own fallback or triggering reclaim if necessary. This results in things like page migration failing prematurely even when there is easily reclaimable memory available, unless kswapd happens to be running already or a concurrent allocation attempt triggers the necessary reclaim. Convert all callsites that don't implement their own fallback strategy to __GFP_THISNODE. This restricts the allocation a single node too, but at the same time allows the allocator to enter the slowpath, wake kswapd, and invoke direct reclaim if necessary, to make the allocation happen when memory is full.
