According to Documentation/trace/ftrace.txt: tracing_cpumask: This is a mask that lets the user only trace on specified CPUS. The format is a hex string representing the CPUS. The tracing_cpumask currently doesn't affect the tracing state of per-CPU ring buffers. This patch enables/disables CPU recording as its corresponding bit in tracing_cpumask is set/unset.

When the ring buffer does its consistency test on itself, it removes the head page, runs the tests, and then adds it back to what the "head_page" pointer was. But because the head_page pointer may lack behind the real head page (held by the link list pointer). The reset may be incorrect. Instead, if the head_page exists (it does not on first allocation) reset it back to the real head page before running the consistency tests. Then it will be put back to its original location after the tests are complete. Signed-off-by: -

There use to be ring buffer integrity checks after updating the size of the ring buffer. But now that the ring buffer can modify the size while the system is running, the integrity checks were removed, as they require the ring buffer to be disabed to perform the check. Move the integrity check to the reading of the ring buffer via the iterator reads (the "trace" file). As reading via an iterator requires disabling the ring buffer, it is a perfect place to have it. If the ring buffer happens to be disabled when updating the size, we still perform the integrity check. Cc: Vaibhav Nagarnaik <vnagarnaik@google.com> Signed-off-by: -

This patch adds the capability to add new pages to a ring buffer atomically while write operations are going on. This makes it possible to expand the ring buffer size without reinitializing the ring buffer. The new pages are attached between the head page and its previous page.

This patch adds the capability to remove pages from a ring buffer without destroying any existing data in it. This is done by removing the pages after the tail page. This makes sure that first all the empty pages in the ring buffer are removed. If the head page is one in the list of pages to be removed, then the page after the removed ones is made the head page. This removes the oldest data from the ring buffer and keeps the latest data around to be read. To do this in a non-racey manner, tracing is stopped for a very short time while the pages to be removed are identified and unlinked from the ring buffer. The pages are freed after the tracing is restarted to minimize the time needed to stop tracing. The context in which the pages from the per-cpu ring buffer are removed runs on the respective CPU. This minimizes the events not traced to only NMI trace contexts.

On gcc 4.5 the function tracing_mark_write() would give a warning of page2 being uninitialized. This is due to a bug in gcc because the logic prevents page2 from being used uninitialized, and gcc 4.6+ does not complain (correctly). Instead of adding a "unitialized" around page2, which could show a bug later on, I combined page1 and page2 into an array map_pages[]. This binds the two and the two are modified according to nr_pages (what gcc 4.5 seems to ignore). This no longer gives a warning with gcc 4.5 nor with gcc 4.6. Signed-off-by:

The value of IbsOpCurCnt rolls over when it reaches IbsOpMaxCnt. Thus, it is reset to zero by hardware. To get the correct count we need to add the max count to it in case we received an ibs sample (valid bit set). Signed-off-by:

After disabling IBS there could be still incomming NMIs with samples that even have the valid bit cleared. Mark all this NMIs as handled to avoid spurious interrupt messages. Signed-off-by:

Robert Richter authored
When disabling ibs there might be the case where hardware continuously generates interrupts. This is described in erratum #420 (Instruction- Based Sampling Engine May Generate Interrupt that Cannot Be Cleared). To avoid this we must clear the counter mask first and then clear the enable bit. This patch implements this. See Revision Guide for AMD Family 10h Processors, Publication #41322. Note: We now keep track of the last read ibs config value which is then used to disable ibs. To update the config value we pass now a pointer to the functions reading it. Signed-off-by:

If the last hw period is too short we might hit the irq handler which biases the results. Thus try to have a max last period that triggers the sw overflow. Signed-off-by:
-
Robert Richter authored
There are cases where the remaining period is smaller than the minimal possible value. In this case the counter is restarted with the minimal period. This is of no use as the interrupt handler will trigger immediately again and most likely hits itself. This biases the results. So, if the remaining period is within the min range, we better do not restart the counter and instead trigger the overflow. Signed-off-by:

This patch adds support for precise event sampling with IBS. There are two counting modes to count either cycles or micro-ops. If the corresponding performance counter events (hw events) are setup with the precise flag set, the request is redirected to the ibs pmu: perf record -a -e cpu-cycles:p ... # use ibs op counting cycle count perf record -a -e r076:p ... # same as -e cpu-cycles:p perf record -a -e r0C1:p ... # use ibs op counting micro-ops Each ibs sample contains a linear address that points to the instruction that was causing the sample to trigger. With ibs we have skid 0. Thus, ibs supports precise levels 1 and 2. Samples are marked with the PERF_EFLAGS_EXACT flag set. In rare cases the rip is invalid when IBS was not able to record the rip correctly. Then the PERF_EFLAGS_EXACT flag is cleared and the rip is taken from pt_regs. V2: * don't drop samples in precise level 2 if rip is invalid, instead support the PERF_EFLAGS_EXACT flag Signed-off-by:

Each IBS sample contains a linear address of the instruction that caused the sample to trigger. This address is more precise than the rip that was taken from the interrupt handler's stack. Update the rip with that address. We use this in the next patch to implement precise-event sampling on AMD systems using IBS. Signed-off-by:

Fixing profiling at a fixed frequency, in this case the freq value and sample period was setup incorrectly. Since sampling periods are adjusted we also allow periods that have lower 4 bits set. Another fix is the setup of the hw counter: If we modify hwc->sample_period, we also need to update hwc->last_period and hwc->period_left. Signed-off-by:

We always need to pass the last sample period to perf_sample_data_init(), otherwise the event distribution will be wrong. Thus, modifiyng the function interface with the required period as argument. So basically a pattern like this: perf_sample_data_init(&data, ~0ULL); data.period = event->hw.last_period; will now be like that: perf_sample_data_init(&data, ~0ULL, event->hw.last_period); Avoids unininitialized data.period and simplifies code.

The last sw period was not correctly updated on overflow and thus led to wrong distribution of events. We always need to properly initialize data.period in struct perf_sample_data. Signed-off-by:
