Replace pmu::{enable,disable,start,stop,unthrottle} with pmu::{add,del,start,stop}, all of which take a flags argument. The new interface extends the capability to stop a counter while keeping it scheduled on the PMU. We replace the throttled state with the generic stopped state. This also allows us to efficiently stop/start counters over certain code paths (like IRQ handlers). It also allows scheduling a counter without it starting, allowing for a generic frozen state (useful for rotating stopped counters). The stopped state is implemented in two different ways, depending on how the architecture implemented the throttled state: 1) We disable the counter: a) the pmu has per-counter enable bits, we flip that b) we program a NOP event, preserving the counter state 2) We store the counter state and ignore all read/overflow events Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: paulus <paulus@samba.org> Cc: stephane eranian <eranian@googlemail.com> Cc: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com> Cc: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com> Cc: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Cyrill Gorcunov <gorcunov@gmail.com> Cc: Lin Ming <ming.m.lin@intel.com> Cc: Yanmin <yanmin_zhang@linux.intel.com> Cc: Deng-Cheng Zhu <dengcheng.zhu@gmail.com> Cc: David Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Cc: Michael Cree <mcree@orcon.net.nz> LKML-Reference: <new-submission> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Set "argN" name for each argument automatically if it has no specified name. Since dynamic trace event(kprobe_events) accepts special characters for its argument, its format can show those special characters (e.g. '$', '%', '+'). However, perf can't parse those format because of the character (especially '%') mess up the format. This sets "argX" name for those arguments if user omitted the argument names. E.g. # echo 'p do_fork %ax IP=%ip $stack' > tracing/kprobe_events # cat tracing/kprobe_events p:kprobes/p_do_fork_0 do_fork arg1=%ax IP=%ip arg3=$stack Reported-by: Srikar Dronamraju <srikar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com> LKML-Reference: <20100827113906.22882.59312.stgit@ltc236.sdl.hitachi.co.jp> Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@hitachi.com> Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

Reading the file set_ftrace_filter does three things. 1) shows whether or not filters are set for the function tracer 2) shows what functions are set for the function tracer 3) shows what triggers are set on any functions 3 is independent from 1 and 2. The way this file currently works is that it is a state machine, and as you read it, it may change state. But this assumption breaks when you use lseek() on the file. The state machine gets out of sync and the t_show() may use the wrong pointer and cause a kernel oops. Luckily, this will only kill the app that does the lseek, but the app dies while holding a mutex. This prevents anyone else from using the set_ftrace_filter file (or any other function tracing file for that matter). A real fix for this is to rewrite the code, but that is too much for a -rc release or stable. This patch simply disables llseek on the set_ftrace_filter() file for now, and we can do the proper fix for the next major release.

Add a perf script which shows packets processing and processed time. It helps us to investigate networking or network devices. If you want to use it, install perf and record perf.data like following. If you set script, perf gathers records until it ends. If not, you must Ctrl-C to stop recording. And if you want a report from record, If you use some options, you can limit the output. Option is below. tx: show only tx packets processing rx: show only rx packets processing dev=: show processing on this device debug: work with debug mode. It shows buffer status. For example, if you want to show received packets processing associated with eth4, 106133.171439sec cpu=0 irq_entry(+0.000msec irq=24:eth4) | softirq_entry(+0.006msec) | |---netif_receive_skb(+0.010msec skb=f2d15900 len=100) | | | skb_copy_datagram_iovec(+0.039msec 10291::10291) | napi_poll_exit(+0.022msec eth4) This perf script helps us to analyze the processing time of a transmit/receive sequence.

This patch adds tracepoint to consume_skb and add trace_kfree_skb before __kfree_skb in skb_free_datagram_locked and net_tx_action. Combinating with tracepoint on dev_hard_start_xmit, we can check how long it takes to free transmitted packets. And using it, we can calculate how many packets driver had at that time. It is useful when a drop of transmitted packet is a problem. sshd-6828 [000] 112689.258154: consume_skb: skbaddr=f2d99bb8 Signed-off-by: Koki Sanagi <sanagi.koki@jp.fujitsu.com> Acked-by: David S.

When the PMU is enabled it is valid to have unhandled nmis, two events could trigger 'simultaneously' raising two back-to-back NMIs. If the first NMI handles both, the latter will be empty and daze the CPU. The solution to avoid an 'unknown nmi' massage in this case was simply to stop the nmi handler chain when the PMU is enabled by stating the nmi was handled. This has the drawback that a) we can not detect unknown nmis anymore, and b) subsequent nmi handlers are not called. This patch addresses this. Now, we check this unknown NMI if it could be a PMU back-to-back NMI. Otherwise we pass it and let the kernel handle the unknown nmi. This is a debug log: cpu #6, nmi #32333, skip_nmi #32330, handled = 1, time = 1934364430 cpu #6, nmi #32334, skip_nmi #32330, handled = 1, time = 1934704616 cpu #6, nmi #32335, skip_nmi #32336, handled = 2, time = 1936032320 cpu #6, nmi #32336, skip_nmi #32336, handled = 0, time = 1936034139 cpu #6, nmi #32337, skip_nmi #32336, handled = 1, time = 1936120100 cpu #6, nmi #32338, skip_nmi #32336, handled = 1, time = 1936404607 cpu #6, nmi #32339, skip_nmi #32336, handled = 1, time = 1937983416 cpu #6, nmi #32340, skip_nmi #32341, handled = 2, time = 1938201032 cpu #6, nmi #32341, skip_nmi #32341, handled = 0, time = 1938202830 cpu #6, nmi #32342, skip_nmi #32341, handled = 1, time = 1938443743 cpu #6, nmi #32343, skip_nmi #32341, handled = 1, time = 1939956552 cpu #6, nmi #32344, skip_nmi #32341, handled = 1, time = 1940073224 cpu #6, nmi #32345, skip_nmi #32341, handled = 1, time = 1940485677 cpu #6, nmi #32346, skip_nmi #32347, handled = 2, time = 1941947772 cpu #6, nmi #32347, skip_nmi #32347, handled = 1, time = 1941949818 cpu #6, nmi #32348, skip_nmi #32347, handled = 0, time = 1941951591 Uhhuh.

[3] For back-to-back nmi detection there are the following rules: The PMU nmi handler was handling more than one counter and no counter was handled in the subsequent nmi (see [1] and [2] above). There is another case if there are two subsequent back-to-back nmis [3]. The 2nd is detected as back-to-back because the first handled more than one counter. If the second handles one counter and the 3rd handles nothing, we drop the 3rd nmi because it could be a back-to-back nmi.

During testing of a patch to stop having the perf subsytem swallow nmis, it was uncovered that Nehalem boxes were randomly getting unknown nmis when using the perf tool. Moving the ack'ing of the PMI closer to when we get the status allows the hardware to properly re-set the PMU bit signaling another PMI was triggered during the processing of the first PMI. This allows the new logic for dealing with the shortcomings of multiple PMIs to handle the extra NMI by 'eat'ing it later. Now one can wonder why are we getting a second PMI when we disable all the PMUs in the begining of the NMI handler to prevent such a case, for that I do not know. But I know the fix below helps deal with this quirk. Tested on multiple Nehalems where the problem was occuring. With the patch, the code now loops a second time to handle the second PMI (whereas before it was not).

While discussing the strictness of the 80 character limit on the Kernel Summit Discussion mailing list, I showed examples that I broke that limit slightly with some algorithms. In discussing with John Linville, what looked better, I realized that two of the 80 char breaking culprits were an identical expression. As a clean up, this patch moves the identical expression into its own helper function and that is used instead. As a side effect, the offending code is now under the 80 character limit. :-) This clean up code also changes the expression from (A - B) - C to A - (B + C) This makes the code look a little nicer too.

During my rewrite, the semantics of touch_nmi_watchdog and touch_softlockup_watchdog changed enough to break some drivers (mostly over preemptable regions). These are cases where long delays on one CPU (due to print_delay for example) can cause long delays on other CPUs - so we must 'touch' the nmi_watchdog flag of those other CPUs as well. This change brings those touch_*_watchdog() functions back in line with to how they used to work.

Implements verification of - Bits of ESCR EventMask field (meaningful bits in field are hardware predefined and others bits should be set to zero) - INSTR_COMPLETED event (it is available on predefined cpu model only) - Thread shared events (they should be guarded by "perf_event_paranoid" sysctl due to security reason). The side effect of this action is that PERF_COUNT_HW_BUS_CYCLES become a "paranoid" general event.

By the commit e6bde73b ("cpu-hotplug: return better errno on cpu hotplug failure"), the cpu notifier can return encapsulate errno value, resulting in more meaningful error codes for CPU hotplug failures. This converts the cpu notifier to return encapsulate errno value for the lockup_detector as well.

While we are reading trace_stat/functionX and someone just disabled function_profile at that time, we can trigger this: divide error: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP ... EIP is at function_stat_show+0x90/0x230 ... This fix just takes the ftrace_profile_lock and checks if rec->counter is 0. If it's 0, we know the profile buffer has been reset.

When CONFIG_IRQSOFF_TRACER is set and CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING is not, we get the following error: $ make oldconfig scripts/kconfig/conf --oldconfig arch/x86/Kconfig warning: (IRQSOFF_TRACER && TRACING_SUPPORT && FTRACE && TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT && !ARCH_USES_GETTIMEOFFSET) selects TRACE_IRQFLAGS which has unmet direct dependencies (DEBUG_KERNEL && TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT && PROVE_LOCKING) warning: (IRQSOFF_TRACER && TRACING_SUPPORT && FTRACE && TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT && !ARCH_USES_GETTIMEOFFSET) selects TRACE_IRQFLAGS which has unmet direct dependencies (DEBUG_KERNEL && TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT && PROVE_LOCKING) This is because IRQSOFF_TRACER selects TRACE_IRQFLAGS but TRACE_IRQFLAGS has PROVE_LOCKING as a dependency. This code is incorrect, and this patch changes the TRACE_IRQFLAGS to be just a simple bool that does not depend or select anything. Instead both IRQSOFF_TRACER and PROVE_LOCKING select it.

Per-thread events with a cpu filter, i.e., cpu != -1, were not reporting correct timings when the thread never ran on the monitored cpu. The time enabled was reported as a negative value. This patch fixes the problem by updating tstamp_stopped, tstamp_running in event_sched_out() for events with filters and which are marked as INACTIVE. The function group_sched_out() is modified to systematically call into event_sched_out() to avoid duplicating the timing adjustment code twice. With the patch, I now get: $ task_cpu -i -e unhalted_core_cycles,unhalted_core_cycles noploop 2 noploop for 2 seconds CPU0 0 unhalted_core_cycles (ena=1,991,136,594, run=0) CPU0 0 unhalted_core_cycles (ena=1,991,136,594, run=0) CPU1 0 unhalted_core_cycles (ena=1,991,136,594, run=0) CPU1 0 unhalted_core_cycles (ena=1,991,136,594, run=0) CPU2 0 unhalted_core_cycles (ena=1,991,136,594, run=0) CPU2 0 unhalted_core_cycles (ena=1,991,136,594, run=0) CPU3 4,747,990,931 unhalted_core_cycles (ena=1,991,136,594, run=1,991,136,594) CPU3 4,747,990,931 unhalted_core_cycles (ena=1,991,136,594, run=1,991,136,594) Signed-off-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@gmail.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: paulus@samba.org Cc: davem@davemloft.net Cc: fweisbec@gmail.com Cc: perfmon2-devel@lists.sf.net Cc: eranian@google.com LKML-Reference: <4c76802d.aae9d80a.115d.70fe@mx.google.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
