Now we can use it with --overwrite to have a flight recorder mode that gets snapshot requests from arbitrary events that are processed in the side band thread together with the PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT processing. Example: To collect scheduler events until a recvmmsg syscall happens, system wide: [root@five a]# rm -f perf.data.2020042717* [root@five a]# perf record --overwrite -e sched:*switch,syscalls:*recvmmsg --switch-output-event syscalls:sys_enter_recvmmsg [ perf record: dump data: Woken up 1 times ] [ perf record: Dump perf.data.2020042717585458 ] [ perf record: dump data: Woken up 1 times ] [ perf record: Dump perf.data.2020042717590235 ] [ perf record: dump data: Woken up 1 times ] [ perf record: Dump perf.data.2020042717590398 ] ^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Dump perf.data.2020042717590511 ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 7.244 MB perf.data.<timestamp> ] So in the above case we had 3 snapshots, the fourth was forced by control+C: [root@five a]# ls -la total 20440 drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 4096 Apr 27 17:59 . dr-xr-x---. 12 root root 4096 Apr 27 17:46 .. -rw-------. 1 root root 3936125 Apr 27 17:58 perf.data.2020042717585458 -rw-------. 1 root root 5074869 Apr 27 17:59 perf.data.2020042717590235 -rw-------. 1 root root 4291037 Apr 27 17:59 perf.data.2020042717590398 -rw-------. 1 root root 7617037 Apr 27 17:59 perf.data.2020042717590511 [root@five a]# One can make this more precise by adding the switch output event to the main -e events list, as since this is done asynchronously, a few events after the signal event will appear in the snapshots, as can be seen with: [root@five a]# rm -f perf.data.20200427175* [root@five a]# perf record --overwrite -e sched:*switch,syscalls:*recvmmsg --switch-output-event syscalls:sys_enter_recvmmsg [ perf record: dump data: Woken up 1 times ] [ perf record: Dump perf.data.2020042718024203 ] [ perf record: dump data: Woken up 1 times ] [ perf record: Dump perf.data.2020042718024301 ] [ perf record: dump data: Woken up 1 times ] [ perf record: Dump perf.data.2020042718024484 ] ^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Dump perf.data.2020042718024562 ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 7.337 MB perf.data.<timestamp> ] [root@five a]# perf script -i perf.data.2020042718024203 | tail -15 PacerThread 148586 [005] 122.830729: sched:sched_switch: prev_comm=PacerThread prev_pid=148586... swapper 0 [000] 122.833588: sched:sched_switch: prev_comm=swapper/0 prev_pid=...

I.e. so far we had just one event in that side band thread, a dummy one with attr.bpf_event set, so that 'perf record' can go ahead and ask the kernel for further information about BPF programs being loaded. Allow for more than one event to be there, so that we can use it as well for the upcoming --switch-output-event feature. Acked-by:

For the upcoming --switch-output-event option we want to create the side band event, populate it with the specified events and then, if it is present multiple times, go on adding to it, then, if the BPF tracking is required, use the first event to set its attr.bpf_event to get those PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT metadata events too.

Renaming bpf_event__add_sb_event() to evlist__add_sb_event() and requiring that the evlist be allocated beforehand. This will allow using the same side band thread and evlist to be used for multiple purposes in addition to react to PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT soon after they are generated. Acked-by:

The hv_24×7 feature in IBM
® POWER9™ processor-based servers provide the facility to continuously collect large numbers of hardware performance metrics efficiently and accurately. This patch adds hv_24x7 metric file for different Socket/chip resources. Result: power9 platform: command:# ./perf stat --metric-only -M Memory_RD_BW_Chip -C 0 -I 1000 1.000096188 0.9 0.3 2.000285720 0.5 0.1 3.000424990 0.4 0.1 command:# ./perf stat --metric-only -M PowerBUS_Frequency -C 0 -I 1000 1.000097981 2.3 2.3 2.000291713 2.3 2.3 3.000421719 2.3 2.3 4.000550912 2.3 2.3 Signed-off-by:Kajol Jain <kjain@linux.ibm.com> Acked-by:

Commit 54b50916 ("perf stat: Implement --metric-only mode") added function 'valid_only_metric()' which drops "Hz" or "hz", if it is part of "ScaleUnit". This patch enable it since hv_24x7 supports couple of frequency events. Signed-off-by:

Added test case for parsing "?" in metric expression. Signed-off-by:
-
Kajol Jain authored
Patch enhances current metric infrastructure to handle "?" in the metric expression. The "?" can be use for parameters whose value not known while creating metric events and which can be replace later at runtime to the proper value. It also add flexibility to create multiple events out of single metric event added in JSON file. Patch adds function 'arch_get_runtimeparam' which is a arch specific function, returns the count of metric events need to be created. By default it return 1. This infrastructure needed for hv_24x7 socket/chip level events. "hv_24x7" chip level events needs specific chip-id to which the data is requested. Function 'arch_get_runtimeparam' implemented in header.c which extract number of sockets from sysfs file "sockets" under "/sys/devices/hv_24x7/interface/". With this patch basically we are trying to create as many metric events as define by runtime_param. For that one loop is added in function 'metricgroup__add_metric', which create multiple events at run time depend on return value of 'arch_get_runtimeparam' and merge that event in 'group_list'. To achieve that we are actually passing this parameter value as part of `expr__find_other` function and changing "?" present in metric expression with this value. As in our JSON file, there gonna be single metric event, and out of which we are creating multiple events. To understand which data count belongs to which parameter value, we also printing param value in generic_metric function. For example, command:# ./perf stat -M PowerBUS_Frequency -C 0 -I 1000 1.000101867 9,356,933 hv_24x7/pm_pb_cyc,chip=0/ # 2.3 GHz PowerBUS_Frequency_0 1.000101867 9,366,134 hv_24x7/pm_pb_cyc,chip=1/ # 2.3 GHz PowerBUS_Frequency_1 2.000314878 9,365,868 hv_24x7/pm_pb_cyc,chip=0/ # 2.3 GHz PowerBUS_Frequency_0 2.000314878 9,366,092 hv_24x7/pm_pb_cyc,chip=1/ # 2.3 GHz PowerBUS_Frequency_1 So, here _0 and _1 after PowerBUS_Frequency specify parameter value.

When printing iregs, there was a double newline printed because perf_sample__fprintf_regs() was printing its own and then at the end of all fields, perf script was adding one.

The synthesize benchmark, run on a single process and thread, shows perf_event__synthesize_mmap_events as the hottest function with fgets and sscanf taking the majority of execution time. fscanf performs similarly well. Replace the scanf call with manual reading of each field of the /proc/pid/maps line, and remove some unnecessary buffering. This change also addresses potential, but unlikely, buffer overruns for the string values read by scanf.

To control degree of parallelism of the synthesize_mmap() code which is scanning /proc/PID/task/PID/maps and can be time consuming. Mimic perf top way of handling the option. If not specified will default to 1 thread, i.e. default behavior before this option. On a desktop computer the processing of /proc/PID/task/PID/maps isn't slow enough to warrant parallel processing and the thread creation has some cost - hence the default of 1. On a loaded server with >100 cores it is possible to see synthesis times in the order of seconds and in this case having the option is desirable. As the processing is a synchronization point, it is legitimate to worry if Amdahl's law will apply to this patch. Profiling with this patch in place: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200415054050.31645-4-irogers@google.com/ shows: ... - 32.59% __perf_event__synthesize_threads - 32.54% __event__synthesize_thread + 22.13% perf_event__synthesize_mmap_events + 6.68% perf_event__get_comm_ids.constprop.0 + 1.49% process_synthesized_event + 1.29% __GI___readdir64 + 0.60% __opendir ... That is the processing is 1.49% of execution time and there is plenty to make parallel.

For interval mode, the metric is printed after the '#' character if it exists. But it's not calculated by the counts generated in this interval. See the following examples: root@kbl-ppc:~# perf stat -M CPI -I1000 --interval-count 2 # time counts unit events 1.000422803 764,809 inst_retired.any # 2.9 CPI 1.000422803 2,234,932 cycles 2.001464585 1,960,061 inst_retired.any # 1.6 CPI 2.001464585 4,022,591 cycles The second CPI should not be 1.6 (4,022,591/1,960,061 is 2.1) root@kbl-ppc:~# perf stat -e cycles,instructions -I1000 --interval-count 2 # time counts unit events 1.000429493 2,869,311 cycles 1.000429493 816,875 instructions # 0.28 insn per cycle 2.001516426 9,260,973 cycles 2.001516426 5,250,634 instructions # 0.87 insn per cycle The second 'insn per cycle' should not be 0.87 (5,250,634/9,260,973 is 0.57). The current code uses a global variable 'rt_stat' for tracking and updating the std dev of runtime stat. Unlike the counts, 'rt_stat' is not reset for interval. While the counts are reset for interval. perf_stat_process_counter() { if (config->interval) init_stats(ps->res_stats); } So for interval mode, the 'rt_stat' variable should be reset too. This patch resets 'rt_stat' before read_counters(), so the runtime stat is only calculated by the counts generated in this interval. With this patch: root@kbl-ppc:~# perf stat -M CPI -I1000 --interval-count 2 # time counts unit events 1.000420924 2,408,818 inst_retired.any # 2.1 CPI 1.000420924 5,010,111 cycles 2.001448579 2,798,407 inst_retired.any # 1.6 CPI 2.001448579 4,599,861 cycles root@kbl-ppc:~# perf stat -e cycles,instructions -I1000 --interval-count 2 # time counts unit events 1.000428555 2,769,714 cycles 1.000428555 774,462 instructions # 0.28 insn per cycle 2.001471562 3,595,904 cycles 2.001471562 1,243,703 instructions # 0.35 insn per cycle Now the second 'insn per cycle' and CPI are calculated by the counts generated in this interval.

As the code comments in perf_stat_process_counter() say, we calculate counter's data every interval, and the display code shows ps->res_stats avg value. We need to zero the stats for interval mode. But the current code only zeros the res_stats[0], it doesn't zero the res_stats[1] and res_stats[2], which are for ena and run of counter. This patch zeros the whole res_stats[] for interval mode.

Commit 7ed1c190 ("tools: fix cross-compile var clobbering") moved the setup of the CC variable to tools/scripts/Makefile.include to make the behavior consistent across all the tools Makefiles. As the vm tools missed the include we end up with the wrong CC in a cross-compiling evironment. Fixes: 7ed1c190 (tools: fix cross-compile var clobbering) Signed-off-by:

If the core_pattern is set to "|" and any process segfaults then we get a null pointer derefernce while trying to coredump. The call stack shows: RIP: do_coredump+0x628/0x11c0 When the core_pattern has only "|" there is no use of trying the coredump and we can check that while formating the corename and exit with an error. After this change I get: format_corename failed Aborting core Fixes: 315c6926 ("coredump: split pipe command whitespace before expanding template") Reported-by:Matthew Ruffell <matthew.ruffell@canonical.com> Signed-off-by:

Syzbot reported the below lockdep splat: WARNING: possible irq lock inversion dependency detected 5.6.0-rc7-syzkaller #0 Not tainted -------------------------------------------------------- syz-executor.0/10317 just changed the state of lock: ffff888021d16568 (&(&info->lock)->rlock){+.+.}, at: spin_lock include/linux/spinlock.h:338 [inline] ffff888021d16568 (&(&info->lock)->rlock){+.+.}, at: shmem_mfill_atomic_pte+0x1012/0x21c0 mm/shmem.c:2407 but this lock was taken by another, SOFTIRQ-safe lock in the past: (&(&xa->xa_lock)->rlock#5){..-.} and interrupts could create inverse lock ordering between them. other info that might help us debug this: Possible interrupt unsafe locking scenario: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- lock(&(&info->lock)->rlock); local_irq_disable(); lock(&(&xa->xa_lock)->rlock#5); lock(&(&info->lock)->rlock); <Interrupt> lock(&(&xa->xa_lock)->rlock#5); *** DEADLOCK *** The full report is quite lengthy, please see: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/alpine.LSU.2.11.2004152007370.13597@eggly.anvils/T/#m813b412c5f78e25ca8c6c7734886ed4de43f241d It is because CPU 0 held info->lock with IRQ enabled in userfaultfd_copy path, then CPU 1 is splitting a THP which held xa_lock and info->lock in IRQ disabled context at the same time. If softirq comes in to acquire xa_lock, the deadlock would be triggered. The fix is to acquire/release info->lock with *_irq version instead of plain spin_{lock,unlock} to make it softirq safe.

Recent commit 71725ed1 ("mm: huge tmpfs: try to split_huge_page() when punching hole") has allowed syzkaller to probe deeper, uncovering a long-standing lockdep issue between the irq-unsafe shmlock_user_lock, the irq-safe xa_lock on mapping->i_pages, and shmem inode's info->lock which nests inside xa_lock (or tree_lock) since 4.8's shmem_uncharge(). user_shm_lock(), servicing SysV shmctl(SHM_LOCK), wants shmlock_user_lock while its caller shmem_lock() holds info->lock with interrupts disabled; but hugetlbfs_file_setup() calls user_shm_lock() with interrupts enabled, and might be interrupted by a writeback endio wanting xa_lock on i_pages. This may not risk an actual deadlock, since shmem inodes do not take part in writeback accounting, but there are several easy ways to avoid it. Requiring interrupts disabled for shmlock_user_lock would be easy, but it's a high-level global lock for which that seems inappropriate. Instead, recall that the use of info->lock to guard info->flags in shmem_lock() dates from pre-3.1 days, when races with SHMEM_PAGEIN and SHMEM_TRUNCATE could occur: nowadays it serves no purpose, the only flag added or removed is VM_LOCKED itself, and calls to shmem_lock() an inode are already serialized by the caller. Take info->lock out of the chain and the possibility of deadlock or lockdep warning goes away.
