| * perf: Fix unexported generic perf_arch_fetch_caller_regsFrederic Weisbecker2010-03-172-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au> Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Xiao Guangrong <xiaoguangrong@cn.fujitsu.com> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> LKML-Reference: <1268697902-9518-1-git-send-regression-fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

| * perf_event: Fix oops triggered by cpu offline/onlinePaul Mackerras2010-03-111-1/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| * perf: Take a hot regs snapshot for trace eventsFrederic Weisbecker2010-03-104-11/+9Star
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: H.

| * perf: Introduce new perf_fetch_caller_regs() for hot regs snapshotFrederic Weisbecker2010-03-101-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| * lockdep: Move lock events under lockdep recursion protectionFrederic Weisbecker2010-03-101-6/+3Star

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.

Placing a tracing_off() in the segfault code, and examining several traces, I found that the following was always the case. The lock tracer was enabled (lockdep being required) and userstack was enabled. Testing this out, I just enabled the two, but that was not good enough. I needed to run something else that could trigger it. Running a load like hackbench did not work, but executing a new program would. The following would trigger the segfault within seconds: # echo 1 > /debug/tracing/options/userstacktrace # echo 1 > /debug/tracing/events/lock/enable # while :; do ls > /dev/null ; done Enabling the function graph tracer and looking at what was happening I finally noticed that all cashes happened just after an NMI. 1) | copy_user_handle_tail() { 1) | bad_area_nosemaphore() { 1) | __bad_area_nosemaphore() { 1) | no_context() { 1) | fixup_exception() { 1) 0.319 us | search_exception_tables(); 1) 0.873 us | } [...] 1) 0.314 us | __rcu_read_unlock(); 1) 0.325 us | native_apic_mem_write(); 1) 0.943 us | } 1) 0.304 us | rcu_nmi_exit(); [...] 1) 0.479 us | find_vma(); 1) | bad_area() { 1) | __bad_area() { After capturing several traces of failures, all of them happened after an NMI. Curious about this, I added a trace_printk() to the NMI handler to read the regs->ip to see where the NMI happened. In which I found out it was here: ffffffff8135b660 <page_fault>: ffffffff8135b660: 48 83 ec 78 sub $0x78,%rsp ffffffff8135b664: e8 97 01 00 00 callq ffffffff8135b800 <error_entry> What was happening is that the NMI would happen at the place that a page fault occurred. It would call rcu_read_lock() which was traced by the lock events, and the user_stack_trace would run. This would trigger a page fault inside the NMI. I do not see where the CR2 register is saved or restored in NMI handling. This means that it would corrupt the page fault handling that the NMI interrupted. The reason the while loop of ls helped trigger the bug, was that each execution of ls would cause lots of pages to be faulted in, and increase the chances of the race happening. The simple solution is to not allow user stack traces in NMI context. After this patch, I ran the above "ls" test for a couple of hours without any issues. Without this patch, the bug would trigger in less than a minute. Cc: stable@kernel.org Reported-by: Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

These functions disable both the standard buffer and the max latency buffer. But if the wakeup tracer is running, it can switch these buffers between the two disables: buffer = global_trace.buffer; if (buffer) ring_buffer_record_disable(buffer); <<<--------- swap happens here buffer = max_tr.buffer; if (buffer) ring_buffer_record_disable(buffer); What happens is that we disabled the same buffer twice. On tracing_start() we can enable the same buffer twice. All ring_buffer_record_disable() must be matched with a ring_buffer_record_enable() or the buffer can be disable permanently, or enable prematurely, and cause a bug where a reset happens while a trace is commiting. This patch protects these two by taking the ftrace_max_lock to prevent a switch from occurring. Found with Li Zefan's ftrace_stress_test.

If the wakeup tracer is running, which can switch the tr->buffer with the max saved buffer, this can break the requirement of disabling the buffer before the reset. buffer = tr->buffer; ring_buffer_record_disable(buffer); synchronize_sched(); __tracing_reset(tr->buffer, cpu); If the tr->buffer is swapped, then the reset is not happening to the buffer that was disabled. This will cause the ring buffer to fail. Found with Li Zefan's ftrace_stress_test.

This is due to the temporary stack being NULL, but the curr_ret_stack variable is copied from the parent. If it is not -1, then in ftrace_graph_probe_sched_switch() the following: for (index = next->curr_ret_stack; index >= 0; index--) next->ret_stack[index].calltime += timestamp; Will cause a kernel OOPS.

This version of this feature isolates the checks into new entry and return functions, to avoid adding more conditional code into the main function_graph paths. When the tracing_thresh is set and the function graph tracer is enabled, only the functions that took longer than the time in microseconds that was set in tracing_thresh are recorded. To do this efficiently, only the function exits are recorded: [tracing]# echo 100 > tracing_thresh [tracing]# echo function_graph > current_tracer [tracing]# cat trace # tracer: function_graph # # CPU DURATION FUNCTION CALLS # | | | | | | | 1) ! 119.214 us | } /* smp_apic_timer_interrupt */ 1) <========== | 0) ! 101.527 us | } /* __rcu_process_callbacks */ 0) ! 126.461 us | } /* rcu_process_callbacks */ 0) ! 145.111 us | } /* __do_softirq */ 0) ! 149.667 us | } /* do_softirq */ 0) ! 168.817 us | } /* irq_exit */ 0) ! 248.254 us | } /* smp_apic_timer_interrupt */ Also, add support for specifying tracing_thresh on the kernel command line. When used like so: "tracing_thresh=200 ftrace=function_graph" this can be used to analyse system startup. It is important to disable tracing soon after boot, in order to avoid losing the trace data.

The max_tr.data[cpu] is what stores the comm, not the tr->data[cpu].

It also optimizes PowerPC and tracepoint, because the struct initialization is forced to zero out the whole structure.

These annotations are to make sparse consider percpu variables to be in a different address space and warn if accessed without going through percpu accessors. This patch doesn't affect normal builds. In kernel/hw_breakpoint.c, per_cpu(nr_task_bp_pinned, cpu)'s will trigger spurious noderef related warnings from sparse. Changing it to &per_cpu(nr_task_bp_pinned[0], cpu) will work around the problem but deemed to ugly by the maintainer. Leave it alone until better solution can be found.

It means that if we have more than sysctl_perf_event_sample_rate/HZ, perf will throttle, ignoring subsequent events until the next tick. So if ptrace exceeds this max rate, it will omit events, which breaks the ptrace determinism that is supposed to report every triggered breakpoints. This is likely to happen if we set sysctl_perf_event_sample_rate to 1. This patch removes support for unthrottling in breakpoint events to break throttling and restore ptrace determinism.
