| * | | | | | perf/x86/intel/pt: Do not force sync packets on every schedule-inAlexander Shishkin2015-08-041-2/+0Star
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, the PT driver zeroes out the status register every time before starting the event. However, all the writable bits are already taken care of in pt_handle_status() function, except the new PacketByteCnt field, which in new versions of PT contains the number of packet bytes written since the last sync (PSB) packet. Zeroing it out before enabling PT forces a sync packet to be written. This means that, with the existing code, a sync packet (PSB and PSBEND, 18 bytes in total) will be generated every time a PT event is scheduled in. To avoid these unnecessary syncs and save a WRMSR in the fast path, this patch changes the default behavior to not clear PacketByteCnt field, so that the sync packets will be generated with the period specified as "psb_period" attribute config field. This has little impact on the trace data as the other packets that are normally sent within PSB+ (between PSB and PSBEND) have their own generation scenarios which do not depend on the sync packets. One exception where we do need to force PSB like this when tracing starts, so that the decoder has a clear sync point in the trace. For this purpose we aready have hw::itrace_started flag, which we are currently using to output PERF_RECORD_ITRACE_START. This patch moves setting itrace_started from perf core to the pmu::start, where it should still be 0 on the very first run.

| * | | | | | perf/x86/hw_breakpoints: Disallow kernel breakpoints unless kprobe-safeAndy Lutomirski2015-08-041-1/+1

It probably doesn't want unexpected debug exceptions either. Be safe: disallow breakpoints in nokprobes code. On non-CONFIG_KPROBES kernels, there is no kprobe blacklist. In that case, disallow kernel breakpoints entirely. It will be particularly important to keep hw breakpoints out of the entry and NMI code once we move debug exceptions off the IST stack.

Currently it looks like private anonymous mapping, this is confusing and complicates the debugging. With this change /proc/$pid/maps reports "[uprobes]". As a side effect this will cause core dumps to include the XOL vma and I think this is good; this can help to debug the problem if the app crashed because it was probed.

But there is one special case which imho worth fixing: arch_uretprobe_is_alive() can return true when the stack didn't actually grow, but the next "call" insn uses the already invalidated frame. Test-case: #include <stdio.h> #include <setjmp.h> jmp_buf jmp; int nr = 1024; void func_2(void) { if (--nr == 0) return; longjmp(jmp, 1); } void func_1(void) { setjmp(jmp); func_2(); } int main(void) { func_1(); return 0; } If you ret-probe func_1() and func_2() prepare_uretprobe() hits the MAX_URETPROBE_DEPTH limit and "return" from func_2() is not reported. When we know that the new call is not chained, we can do the more strict check. In this case "sp" points to the new ret-addr, so every frame which uses the same "sp" must be dead. The only complication is that arch_uretprobe_is_alive() needs to know was it chained or not, so we add the new RP_CHECK_CHAIN_CALL enum and change prepare_uretprobe() to pass RP_CHECK_CALL only if !chained. Note: arch_uretprobe_is_alive() could also re-read *sp and check if this word is still trampoline_vaddr. This could obviously improve the logic, but I would like to avoid another copy_from_user() especially in the case when we can't avoid the false "alive == T" positives.

I am running on the caller's stack\n"); } int main(void) { func_1(); return 0; } fails if you probe func_1() and func_2() because handle_trampoline() assumes that the probed function should must return and hit the bp installed be prepare_uretprobe(). But in this case func_2() does not return, so when func_1() returns the kernel uses the no longer valid return_instance of func_2(). Change handle_trampoline() to unwind ->return_instances until we know that the next chain is alive or NULL, this ensures that the current chain is the last we need to report and free. Alternatively, every return_instance could use unique trampoline_vaddr, in this case we could use it as a key. And this could solve the problem with sigaltstack() automatically. But this approach needs more changes, and it puts the "hard" limit on MAX_URETPROBE_DEPTH. Plus it can not solve another problem partially fixed by the next patch. Note: this change has no effect on !x86, the arch-agnostic version of arch_uretprobe_is_alive() just returns "true".

Unfortunately neither are suitable for use by non-privileged users for the purpose of synchronizing hardware trace data (e.g. Intel PT) to the context switch. Tracepoints are no good at all for non-privileged users because they need either CAP_SYS_ADMIN or /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid <= -1. On the other hand, kernel software events need either CAP_SYS_ADMIN or /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid <= 1. Now many distributions do default perf_event_paranoid to 1 making context_switches a contender, except it has another problem (which is also shared with sched:sched_switch) which is that it happens before perf schedules events out instead of after perf schedules events in. Whereas a privileged user can see all the events anyway, a non-privileged user only sees events for their own processes, in other words they see when their process was scheduled out not when it was scheduled in. That presents two problems to use the event: 1. the information comes too late, so tools have to look ahead in the event stream to find out what the current state is 2. if they are unlucky tracing might have stopped before the context-switches event is recorded. This new PERF_RECORD_SWITCH event does not have those problems and it also has a couple of other small advantages. It is easier to use because it is an auxiliary event (like mmap, comm and task events) which can be enabled by setting a single bit. It is smaller than sched:sched_switch and easier to parse. To make the event useful for privileged users also, if the context is cpu-wide then the event record will be PERF_RECORD_SWITCH_CPU_WIDE which is the same as PERF_RECORD_SWITCH except it also provides the next or previous pid/tid.

There can be no deadlock because rcu_preempt_state ->exp_funnel_mutex acquisition always precedes that of rcu_sched_state. But lockdep does not know that, so it gives false-positive splats.

There has been (and might still be) code that relies on this, for example, certain types of reference-counting code that does a call_rcu() within an RCU callback function. This requirement is why there is an smp_mb() at the end of both synchronize_sched_expedited() and synchronize_rcu_expedited(). However, this is the only smp_mb() in these functions, so it would be nicer to consolidate it into rcu_exp_gp_seq_end(). This commit does just that. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

These will be applied to synchronize_rcu_expedited(). These are defined in terms of underlying rcu_seq_start(), rcu_seq_end(), rcu_seq_snap(), rcu_seq_done(), which will be applied to _rcu_barrier(). One reason that this commit doesn't use the seqcount primitives themselves is that the smp_wmb() in those primitive is insufficient due to the fact that expedited grace periods do reads as well as writes. In addition, the read-side seqcount primitives detect a potentially partial change, where the expedited primitives instead need a guaranteed full change. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

This is a conservative measure because rcutorture uses unusually long RCU read-side critical sections and because rcutorture periodically quiesces the system in order to test RCU's ability to ramp down to and up from the idle state. This commit therefore replaces the stop_one_cpu() with stop_one_cpu_nowait(), using an atomic-counter scheme to determine when all CPUs have passed through the stopped state.

This commit simplifies this scheme by using something similar to the sequence-locking counter scheme. A counter is incremented before and after each grace period, so that the counter is odd in the midst of the grace period and even otherwise. So if the counter has advanced to the second even number that is greater than or equal to the snapshot, the required grace period has already happened. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

This is disastrous for real-time workloads, which get hit with a preemption that is as long as the longest scheduling latency on any CPU, including any non-realtime housekeeping CPUs. This commit therefore switches to using stop_one_cpu() on each CPU in turn. This avoids inflicting the worst-case scheduling latency on the worst-case CPU onto all other CPUs, and also simplifies the code a little bit. Follow-up commits will simplify the counter-snapshotting algorithm and convert a number of the counters that are now protected by the new ->expedited_mutex to non-atomic.
