For SMT specific workarounds it is useful to know if SMT is active on any online CPU in the system. This currently requires a loop over all online CPUs. Add a global variable that is updated with the maximum number of smt threads on any CPU on online/offline, and use it for topology_max_smt_threads() The single call is easier to use than a loop. Not exported to user space because user space already can use the existing sibling interfaces to find this out.

This allows (with a previous change to the perf error return ABI) for calling out in userspace the exact reason for perf record failing when PMU doesn't support overflow interrupts. Note that this needs to be put ahead of existing precise_ip check as that gets hit otherwise for the sampling fail case as well.

Change the return code for sampling event not supported from -ENOTSUPP to -EOPNOTSUPP. This allows userspace to identify this case specifically, instead of printing the catch-all error message it did previously. Technically this is an ABI change, but we think we can get away with it. Old behavior: ------- | # perf record ls | Error: | The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 524 (Unknown error 524) | for event (cycles:ppp). | /bin/dmesg may provide additional information. | No CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS=y kernel support configured? New behavior: ------- | # perf record ls | Error: | PMU Hardware doesn't support sampling/overflow-interrupts.

Some platforms, e.g. Knights Landing, use a common PCI device ID for multiple instances of an uncore PMU device type. So it is impossible to locate the specific instances only by PCI device ID. The current code specially handles Knights Landing by arbitrarily pointing an instance to an unused uncore box. However, we still have no idea which uncore device is mapped to which box. Furthermore, there could be more platforms which use a common PCI device ID for uncore devices. We have to specially handle them one by one. This patch records full device information (slot, func, and device ID) in id_table[]. So the probe function can point the instance to a specific uncore box by checking the full device information.

This patch fixes an issue which was introduced by commit: 91a612ee ("perf/core: Fix dynamic interrupt throttle") ... which commit unconditionally sets the perf_sample_allowed_ns value to !0. But that could trigger a bug in the following corner case: The user can disable the dynamic interrupt throttle mechanism by setting perf_cpu_time_max_percent to 0. Then they change perf_event_max_sample_rate. For this case, the mechanism will be enabled implicitly, because perf_sample_allowed_ns becomes !0 - which is not what we want. This patch only updates perf_sample_allowed_ns when the dynamic interrupt throttle mechanism is enabled.

perf/core: Rename the perf_event_aux*() APIs to perf_event_sb*(), to separate them from AUX ring-buffer records There are now two different things called AUX in perf, the infrastructure to deliver the mmap/comm/task records and the AUX part in the mmap buffer (with associated AUX_RECORD). Since the former is internal, rename it to side-band to reduce the confusion factor. No change in functionality.

The perf_event_aux() function iterates all PMUs and all events in their respective per-CPU contexts to find the events to deliver side-band records to. For example, the brk test case in lkp triggers many mmap() operations, which, if we're also running perf, results in many perf_event_aux() invocations. If we enable uncore PMU support (even when uncore events are not used), dozens of uncore PMUs will be iterated, which can significantly decrease brk_test's throughput. For example, the brk throughput: without uncore PMUs: 2647573 ops_per_sec with uncore PMUs: 1768444 ops_per_sec ... a 33% reduction. To get at the per-CPU events that need side-band records, this patch puts these events on a per-CPU list, this avoids iterating the PMUs and any events that do not need side-band records. Per task events are unchanged to avoid extra overhead on the context switch paths.

Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo-20160530' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/core Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo: User visible/kernel ABI changes: - Per event callchain limit: Recently we introduced a sysctl to tune the max-stack for all events for which callchains were requested: $ sysctl kernel.perf_event_max_stack kernel.perf_event_max_stack = 127 Now this patch introduces a way to configure this per event, i.e. this becomes possible: $ perf record -e sched:*/max-stack=2/ -e block:*/max-stack=10/ -a allowing finer tuning of how much buffer space callchains use. This uses an u16 from the reserved space at the end, leaving another u16 for future use. There has been interest in even finer tuning, namely to control the max stack for kernel and userspace callchains separately. Further discussion is needed, we may for instance use the remaining u16 for that and when it is present, assume that the sample_max_stack introduced in this patch applies for the kernel, and the u16 left is used for limiting the userspace callchain. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) Infrastructure changes: - Adopt get_main_thread from db-export.c (Andi Kleen) - More prep work for backward ring buffer support (Wang Nan) - Prep work for supporting SDT (Statically Defined Tracing) tracepoints (Masami Hiramatsu) - Add arch/*/include/generated/ to .gitignore (Taeung Song) Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

Note that the existing caches are not updated until user adds or updates the cache. Anyway, if there is the old style build-id cache it falls back to use it.

Introduce filename__readable to check readability by opening the file directly. Since the access(R_OK) just checks the readability based on real UID/GID, it is ignored that the effective UID/GID and capabilities for some special file (e.g. /proc/kcore). filename__readable() directly opens given file with O_RDONLY so that the kernel checks it by effective UID/GID and capabilities.

There's no need to receive events from overwritable ring buffer. Instead, perf should make them run in background until some external event of interest takes place. This patch makes ignores normal events from overwrite evlists. Overwritable events must be mapped readonly and backward, so if evlist and evsel doesn't match (evsel->overwrite is true but either evlist is read/write or evlist is not backward, and vice versa), skip mapping it.

Additionally to being able to control the system wide maximum depth via /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_stack, now we are able to ask for different depths per event, using perf_event_attr.sample_max_stack for that. This uses an u16 hole at the end of perf_event_attr, that, when perf_event_attr.sample_type has the PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN, if sample_max_stack is zero, means use perf_event_max_stack, otherwise it'll be bounds checked under callchain_mutex.

record__mmap_read() writes data from ring buffer into perf.data. 'head' is maintained by the kernel, points to the last written record. 'old' is maintained by perf, points to the record read in previous round. record__mmap_read() saves data from 'old' to 'head' to perf.data. The names of these variables are not very intutive. In addition, when dealing with backward writing ring buffer, the md->prev pointer should point to 'head' instead of the last byte it got. Add 'start' and 'end' pointer to make code clear and set md->prev to 'head' instead of the moved 'old' pointer. This patch doesn't change behavior since: buf = &data[old & md->mask]; size = head - old; old += size; <--- Here, old == head Signed-off-by: Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@hitachi.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Zefan Li <lizefan@huawei.com> Cc: pi3orama@163.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1463987628-163563-4-git-send-email-wangnan0@huawei.comSigned-off-by: He Kuang <hekuang@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

When record__mmap_read() requires data more than the size of ring buffer, drop those data to avoid accessing invalid memory. This can happen when reading from overwritable ring buffer, which should be avoided. However, check this for robustness.

Noticed when the 'setsockopt' 'fd' arg wasn't being formatted via the SCA_FD beautifier, so just remove the setting of "fd" args to SCA_FD and do it when reading the syscall info, like we do for args of type "pid_t", i.e. "fd" as the name should be enough as the decision to use the SFA_FD beautifier. For odd cases we can just do it explicitely.
