perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs() is exported for the overriden x86 version, but not for the generic weak version. As a general rule, weak functions should not have their symbol exported in the same file they are defined. So let's export it on trace_event_perf.c as it is used by trace events only. This fixes: ERROR: ".perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs" [fs/xfs/xfs.ko] undefined! ERROR: ".perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs" [arch/powerpc/platforms/cell/spufs/spufs.ko] undefined! -v2: And also only build it if trace events are enabled. -v3: Fix changelog mistake Reported-by:

Now, in our RR example, n_running == 0 because we fully unscheduled, so event-50 will retain its idx==32, even though in scheduling it will have gotten idx=0, and we don't trigger the re-assign path. The easiest way to fix this is the below patch, which simply validates the full assignment in the second pass. Reported-by:

At present, the perf subcommands that do system-wide monitoring (perf stat, perf record and perf top) don't work properly unless the online cpus are numbered 0, 1, ..., N-1. These tools ask for the number of online cpus with sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN) and then try to create events for cpus 0, 1, ..., N-1. This creates problems for systems where the online cpus are numbered sparsely. For example, a POWER6 system in single-threaded mode (i.e. only running 1 hardware thread per core) will have only even-numbered cpus online. This fixes the problem by reading the /sys/devices/system/cpu/online file to find out which cpus are online. The code that does that is in tools/perf/util/cpumap.[ch], and consists of a read_cpu_map() function that sets up a cpumap[] array and returns the number of online cpus. If /sys/devices/system/cpu/online can't be read or can't be parsed successfully, it falls back to using sysconf to ask how many cpus are online and sets up an identity map in cpumap[]. The perf record, perf stat and perf top code then calls read_cpu_map() in the system-wide monitoring case (instead of sysconf) and uses cpumap[] to get the cpu numbers to pass to perf_event_open.

Anton Blanchard found that he could reliably make the kernel hit a BUG_ON in the slab allocator by taking a cpu offline and then online while a system-wide perf record session was running. The reason is that when the cpu comes up, we completely reinitialize the ctx field of the struct perf_cpu_context for the cpu. If there is a system-wide perf record session running, then there will be a struct perf_event that has a reference to the context, so its refcount will be 2. (The perf_event has been removed from the context's group_entry and event_entry lists by perf_event_exit_cpu(), but that doesn't remove the perf_event's reference to the context and doesn't decrement the context's refcount.) When the cpu comes up, perf_event_init_cpu() gets called, and it calls __perf_event_init_context() on the cpu's context. That resets the refcount to 1. Then when the perf record session finishes and the perf_event is closed, the refcount gets decremented to 0 and the context gets kfreed after an RCU grace period. Since the context wasn't kmalloced -- it's part of a per-cpu variable -- bad things happen. In fact we don't need to completely reinitialize the context when the cpu comes up. It's sufficient to initialize the context once at boot, but we need to do it for all possible cpus. This moves the context initialization to happen at boot time. With this, we don't trash the refcount and the context never gets kfreed, and we don't hit the BUG_ON. Reported-by:

Drop the obsolete "profile" naming used by perf for trace events. Perf can now do more than simple events counting, so generalize the API naming. Signed-off-by: -
Frederic Weisbecker authored
We are taking a wrong regs snapshot when a trace event triggers. Either we use get_irq_regs(), which gives us the interrupted registers if we are in an interrupt, or we use task_pt_regs() which gives us the state before we entered the kernel, assuming we are lucky enough to be no kernel thread, in which case task_pt_regs() returns the initial set of regs when the kernel thread was started. What we want is different. We need a hot snapshot of the regs, so that we can get the instruction pointer to record in the sample, the frame pointer for the callchain, and some other things. Let's use the new perf_fetch_caller_regs() for that. Comparison with perf record -e lock: -R -a -f -g Before: perf [kernel] [k] __do_softirq | --- __do_softirq | |--55.16%-- __open | --44.84%-- __write_nocancel After: perf [kernel] [k] perf_tp_event | --- perf_tp_event | |--41.07%-- lock_acquire | | | |--39.36%-- _raw_spin_lock | | | | | |--7.81%-- hrtimer_interrupt | | | smp_apic_timer_interrupt | | | apic_timer_interrupt The old case was producing unreliable callchains. Now having right frame and instruction pointers, we have the trace we want. Also syscalls and kprobe events already have the right regs, let's use them instead of wasting a retrieval. v2: Follow the rename perf_save_regs() -> perf_fetch_caller_regs() Signed-off-by: -

Events that trigger overflows by interrupting a context can use get_irq_regs() or task_pt_regs() to retrieve the state when the event triggered. But this is not the case for some other class of events like trace events as tracepoints are executed in the same context than the code that triggered the event. It means we need a different api to capture the regs there, namely we need a hot snapshot to get the most important informations for perf: the instruction pointer to get the event origin, the frame pointer for the callchain, the code segment for user_mode() tests (we always use __KERNEL_CS as trace events always occur from the kernel) and the eflags for further purposes. v2: rename perf_save_regs to perf_fetch_caller_regs as per Masami's suggestion.

There are rcu locked read side areas in the path where we submit a trace event. And these rcu_read_(un)lock() trigger lock events, which create recursive events. One pair in do_perf_sw_event: __lock_acquire | |--96.11%-- lock_acquire | | | |--27.21%-- do_perf_sw_event | | perf_tp_event | | | | | |--49.62%-- ftrace_profile_lock_release | | | lock_release | | | | | | | |--33.85%-- _raw_spin_unlock Another pair in perf_output_begin/end: __lock_acquire |--23.40%-- perf_output_begin | | __perf_event_overflow | | perf_swevent_overflow | | perf_swevent_add | | perf_swevent_ctx_event | | do_perf_sw_event | | perf_tp_event | | | | | |--55.37%-- ftrace_profile_lock_acquire | | | lock_acquire | | | | | | | |--37.31%-- _raw_spin_lock The problem is not that much the trace recursion itself, as we have a recursion protection already (though it's always wasteful to recurse). But the trace events are outside the lockdep recursion protection, then each lockdep event triggers a lock trace, which will trigger two other lockdep events. Here the recursive lock trace event won't be taken because of the trace recursion, so the recursion stops there but lockdep will still analyse these new events: To sum up, for each lockdep events we have: lock_*() | trace lock_acquire | ----- rcu_read_lock() | | | lock_acquire() | | | trace_lock_acquire() (stopped) | | | lockdep analyze | ----- rcu_read_unlock() | lock_release | trace_lock_release() (stopped) | lockdep analyze And you can repeat the above two times as we have two rcu read side sections when we submit an event. This is fixed in this patch by moving the lock trace event under the lockdep recursion protection. Signed-off-by: -

If -vv is used just the map table will be printed, -vvv will print the symbol table too, with it we can see that we have a bug where some samples are not being resolved to a map when we get them in the perf.data stream, but after we have it all processed, we can find the right map, some reordering probably is happening. Upcoming patches will provide ways to ask for most PERF_SAMPLE_ conditional samples to be taken for !PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE events too, then we'll be able to ask for PERF_SAMPLE_TIME and PERF_SAMPLE_CPU to help diagnose this.
