      perf test: Remove 'core_id' check in topo test · 4c9d6c18
      Sukadev Bhattiprolu authored
      The topology test case of 'perf test' seems to be broken on my x86
      system - due to the comparison of a "core-id" with # of CPUs online.
      
      There are 8 online CPUs:
      
      	$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/online
      	0-7
      
      but core-ids are not sequential and some core-ids exceed the number
      of online CPUs.
      
      	$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu?/topology/core_id
      	0
      	1
      	9
      	10
      	0
      	1
      	9
      	10
      
      Looks like we can safely remove the check.  Output before:
      
      	$ perf --version
      	perf version 4.4.rc1.g34258a
      
      	$ perf test -v topo
      	36: Test topology in session                                 :

      	templ file: /tmp/perf-test-vCwWG3
      	core_id number is too big.You may need to upgrade the perf tool.
      	test child interrupted
      	---- end ----
      	Test topology in session: FAILED!
      
      and after:

      	36: Test topology in session                                 :

      x86/nmi: Mark 'ignore_nmis' as __read_mostly · 8e2a7f5b
      Kostenzer Felix authored
      ignore_nmis is used in two distinct places:
      
       1. modified through {stop,restart}_nmi by alternative_instructions
       2. read by do_nmi to determine if default_do_nmi should be called or not
      
      thus the access pattern conforms to __read_mostly and do_nmi() is a fastpath.

      perf/x86/intel: Fix PEBS data source interpretation on Nehalem/Westmere · e17dc653
      Andi Kleen authored
      Jiri reported some time ago that some entries in the PEBS data source table
      in perf do not agree with the SDM. We investigated and the bits
      changed for Sandy Bridge, but the SDM was not updated.
      
      perf already implements the bits correctly for Sandy Bridge
      and later. This patch patches it up for Nehalem and Westmere.

      perf/x86/pebs: Add proper PEBS constraints for Broadwell · b3e62463
      Stephane Eranian authored
      This patch adds a Broadwell specific PEBS event constraint table.
      
      Broadwell has a fix for the HT corruption bug erratum HSD29 on
      Haswell. Therefore, there is no need to mark events 0xd0, 0xd1, 0xd2,
      0xd3 has requiring the exclusive mode across both sibling HT threads.
      This holds true for regular counting and sampling (see core.c) and
      PEBS (ds.c) which we fix in this patch.
      
      In doing so, we relax evnt scheduling for these events, they can now
      be programmed on any 4 counters without impacting what is measured on
      the sibling thread.

      perf/x86/pebs: Add workaround for broken OVFL status on HSW+ · 8077eca0
      Stephane Eranian authored
      This patch fixes an issue with the GLOBAL_OVERFLOW_STATUS bits on
      Haswell, Broadwell and Skylake processors when using PEBS.
      
      The SDM stipulates that when the PEBS iterrupt threshold is crossed,
      an interrupt is posted and the kernel is interrupted. The kernel will
      find GLOBAL_OVF_SATUS bit 62 set indicating there are PEBS records to
      drain. But the bits corresponding to the actual counters should NOT be
      set. The kernel follows the SDM and assumes that all PEBS events are
      processed in the drain_pebs() callback. The kernel then checks for
      remaining overflows on any other (non-PEBS) events and processes these
      in the for_each_bit_set(&status) loop.
      
      As it turns out, under certain conditions on HSW and later processors,
      on PEBS buffer interrupt, bit 62 is set but the counter bits may be
      set as well. In that case, the kernel drains PEBS and generates
      SAMPLES with the EXACT tag, then it processes the counter bits, and
      generates normal (non-EXACT) SAMPLES.
      
      I ran into this problem by trying to understand why on HSW sampling on
      a PEBS event was sometimes returning SAMPLES without the EXACT tag.
      This should not happen on user level code because HSW has the
      eventing_ip which always point to the instruction that caused the
      event.
      
      The workaround in this patch simply ensures that the bits for the
      counters used for PEBS events are cleared after the PEBS buffer has
      been drained. With this fix 100% of the PEBS samples on my user code
      report the EXACT tag.
      
      Before:
        $ perf record -e cpu/event=0xd0,umask=0x81/upp ./multichase
        $ perf report -D | fgrep SAMPLES
        PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE(IP, 0x2): 11775/11775: 0x406de5 period: 73469 addr: 0 exact=Y
                                 \--- EXACT tag is missing
      
      After:
        $ perf record -e cpu/event=0xd0,umask=0x81/upp ./multichase
        $ perf report -D | fgrep SAMPLES
        PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE(IP, 0x4002): 11775/11775: 0x406de5 period: 73469 addr: 0 exact=Y
                                 \--- EXACT tag is set
      
      The problem tends to appear more often when multiple PEBS events are used.

      perf/x86/intel: Fix PEBS warning by only restoring active PMU in pmi · c3d266c8
      Kan Liang authored
      This patch tries to fix a PEBS warning found in my stress test. The
      following perf command can easily trigger the pebs warning or spurious
      NMI error on Skylake/Broadwell/Haswell platforms:
      
        sudo perf record -e 'cpu/umask=0x04,event=0xc4/pp,cycles,branches,ref-cycles,cache-misses,cache-references' --call-graph fp -b -c1000 -a
      
      Also the NMI watchdog must be enabled.
      
      For this case, the events number is larger than counter number. So
      perf has to do multiplexing.
      
      In perf_mux_hrtimer_handler, it does perf_pmu_disable(), schedule out
      old events, rotate_ctx, schedule in new events and finally
      perf_pmu_enable().
      
      If the old events include precise event, the MSR_IA32_PEBS_ENABLE
      should be cleared when perf_pmu_disable().  The MSR_IA32_PEBS_ENABLE
      should keep 0 until the perf_pmu_enable() is called and the new event is
      precise event.
      
      However, there is a corner case which could restore PEBS_ENABLE to
      stale value during the above period. In perf_pmu_disable(), GLOBAL_CTRL
      will be set to 0 to stop overflow and followed PMI. But there may be
      pending PMI from an earlier overflow, which cannot be stopped. So even
      GLOBAL_CTRL is cleared, the kernel still be possible to get PMI. At
      the end of the PMI handler, __intel_pmu_enable_all() will be called,
      which will restore the stale values if old events haven't scheduled
      out.
      
      Once the stale pebs value is set, it's impossible to be corrected if
      the new events are non-precise. Because the pebs_enabled will be set
      to 0. x86_pmu.enable_all() will ignore the MSR_IA32_PEBS_ENABLE
      setting. As a result, the following NMI with stale PEBS_ENABLE
      trigger pebs warning.
      
      The pending PMI after enabled=0 will become harmless if the NMI handler
      does not change the state. This patch checks cpuc->enabled in pmi and
      only restore the state when PMU is active.

      perf/x86/intel: Use PAGE_SIZE for PEBS buffer size on Core2 · e72daf3f
      Jiri Olsa authored
      Using PAGE_SIZE buffers makes the WRMSR to PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL in
      intel_pmu_enable_all() mysteriously hang on Core2. As a workaround, we
      don't do this.
      
      The hard lockup is easily triggered by running 'perf test attr'
      repeatedly. Most of the time it gets stuck on sample session with
      small periods.
      
        # perf test attr -vv
        14: struct perf_event_attr setup                             :
        --- start ---
        ...
          'PERF_TEST_ATTR=/tmp/tmpuEKz3B /usr/bin/perf record -o /tmp/tmpuEKz3B/perf.data -c 123 kill >/dev/null 2>&1' ret 1

      perf/core: Fix perf_sched_count derailment · 927a5570
      Alexander Shishkin authored
      The error path in perf_event_open() is such that asking for a sampling
      event on a PMU that doesn't generate interrupts will end up in dropping
      the perf_sched_count even though it hasn't been incremented for this
      event yet.
      
      Given a sufficient amount of these calls, we'll end up disabling
      scheduler's jump label even though we'd still have active events in the
      system, thereby facilitating the arrival of the infernal regions upon us.
      
      I'm fixing this by moving account_event() inside perf_event_alloc().
