      ring-buffer: Do not trigger a WARN if clock going backwards is detected · 29ce2451
      Steven Rostedt (VMware) authored 
      After tweaking the ring buffer to be a bit faster, a warning is triggering
on one of my machines, and causing my tests to fail. This warning is caused
when the delta (current time stamp minus previous time stamp), is larger
than the max time held by the ring buffer (59 bits).

If the clock were to go backwards slightly, this would then easily trigger
this warning. The machine that it triggered on, the clock did go backwards
by around 450 nanoseconds, and this happened after a recalibration of the
TSC clock. Now that the ring buffer is faster, it detects this, and the
delta that is used larger than the max, the warning is triggered and my test
fails.

To handle the clock going backwards, look at the saved before and after time
stamps. If they are the same, it means that the current event did not
interrupt another event, and that those timestamp are of a previous event
that was recorded. If the max delta is triggered, look at those time stamps,
make sure they are the same, then use them to compare with the current
timestamp. If the current timestamp is less than the before/after time
stamps, then that means the clock being used went backward.

Print out a message that this has happened, but do not warn about it (and
only print the message once).

Still do the warning if the delta is indeed larger than what can be used.

Also remove the unneeded KERN_WARNING from the WARN_ONCE() print.

      ring-buffer: Call trace_clock_local() directly for RETPOLINE kernels · bbeba3e5
      Steven Rostedt (VMware) authored 
      After doing some benchmarks and examining the code, I found that the ring
buffer clock calls were quite expensive, and noticed that it uses
retpolines. This is because the ring buffer clock is programmable, and can
be set. But in most cases it simply uses the fastest ns unit clock which is
the trace_clock_local(). For RETPOLINE builds, checking if the ring buffer
clock is set to trace_clock_local() and then calling it directly has brought
the time of an event on my i7 box from an average of 93 nanoseconds an event
down to 83 nanoseconds an event, and the minimum time from 81 nanoseconds to
68 nanoseconds!

extended and forced time stamps, in such a way to remove a branch or two.
This is just a micro optimization.

      ring-buffer: speed up buffer resets by avoiding synchronize_rcu for each CPU · b23d7a5f
      Nicholas Piggin authored 
      On a 144 thread system, `perf ftrace` takes about 20 seconds to start
up, due to calling synchronize_rcu() for each CPU.

  cat /proc/108560/stack
    0xc0003e7eb336f470
    __switch_to+0x2e0/0x480
    __wait_rcu_gp+0x20c/0x220

    tracing_reset_online_cpus+0x84/0xe0
    tracing_open+0x1d4/0x1f0

On a system with 10x more threads, it starts to become an annoyance.

Batch these up so we disable all the per-cpu buffers first, then
synchronize_rcu() once, then reset each of the buffers. This brings
the time down to about 0.5s.

      ring-buffer: Add rb_time_t 64 bit operations for speeding up 32 bit · 10464b4a
      Steven Rostedt (VMware) authored 
      After a discussion with the new time algorithm to have nested events still
have proper time keeping but required using local64_t atomic operations.
Mathieu was concerned about the performance this would have on 32 bit
machines, as in most cases, atomic 64 bit operations on them can be
expensive.

As the ring buffer's timing needs do not require full features of local64_t,
a wrapper is made to implement a new rb_time_t operation that uses two longs
on 32 bit machines but still uses the local64_t operations on 64 bit
machines. There's a switch that can be made in the file to force 64 bit to
use the 32 bit version just for testing purposes.

All reads do not need to succeed if a read happened while the stamp being
read is in the process of being updated. The requirement is that all reads
must succed that were done by an interrupting event (where this event was
interrupted by another event that did the write). Or if the event itself did
the write first. That is: rb_time_set(t, x) followed by rb_time_read(t) will
always succeed (even if it gets interrupted by another event that writes to
t. The result of the read will be either the previous set, or a set
performed by an interrupting event.

If the read is done by an event that interrupted another event that was in
the process of setting the time stamp, and no other event came along to
write to that time stamp, it will fail and the rb_time_read() will return
that it failed (the value to read will be undefined).

A set will always write to the time stamp and return with a valid time
stamp, such that any read after it will be valid.

A cmpxchg may fail if it interrupted an event that was in the process of
updating the time stamp just like the reads do. Other than that, it will act
like a normal cmpxchg.

The way this works is that the rb_time_t is made of of three fields. A cnt,
that gets updated atomically everyting a modification is made. A top that
represents the most significant 30 bits of the time, and a bottom to
represent the least significant 30 bits of the time. Notice, that the time
values is only 60 bits long (where the ring buffer only uses 59 bits, which
gives us 18 years of nanoseconds!).

The top two bits of both the top and bottom is a 2 bit counter that gets set
by the value of the least two significant bits of the cnt. A read of the top
and the bottom where both the top and bottom have the same most significant
top 2 bits, are considered a match and a valid 60 bit number can be created
from it. If they do not match, then the number is considered invalid, and
this must only happen if an event interrupted another event in the midst of
updating the time stamp.

This is only used for 32 bits machines as 64 bit machines can get better
performance out of the local64_t. This has been tested heavily by forcing 64
bit to use this logic.

      ring-buffer: Have nested events still record running time stamp · a389d86f
      Steven Rostedt (VMware) authored 
      Up until now, if an event is interrupted while it is recorded by an
interrupt, and that interrupt records events, the time of those events will
all be the same. This is because events only record the delta of the time
since the previous event (or beginning of a page), and to handle updating
the time keeping for that of nested events is extremely racy. After years of
thinking about this and several failed attempts, I finally have a solution
to solve this puzzle.

The problem is that you need to atomically calculate the delta and then
update the time stamp you made the delta from, as well as then record it
into the buffer, all this while at any time an interrupt can come in and
do the same thing. This is easy to solve with heavy weight atomics, but that
would be detrimental to the performance of the ring buffer. The current
state of affairs sacrificed the time deltas for nested events for
performance.

The reason for previous failed attempts at solving this puzzle was because I
was trying to completely avoid slow atomic operations like cmpxchg. I final
came to the conclusion to always avoid cmpxchg is not possible, which is why
those previous attempts always failed. But it is possible to pick one path
(the most common case) and avoid cmpxchg in that path, which is the "fast
path". The most common case is that an event will not be interrupted and
have other events added into it. An event can detect if it has
interrupted another event, and for these cases we can make it the slow
path and use the heavy operations like cmpxchg.

One more player was added to the game that made this possible, and that is
the "absolute timestamp" (by Tom Zanussi) that allows us to inject a full 59
bit time stamp. (Of course this breaks if a machine is running for more than
18 years without a reboot!).

There's barrier() placements around for being paranoid, even when they
are not needed because of other atomic functions near by. But those
should not hurt, as if they are not needed, they basically become a nop.

Note, this also makes the race window much smaller, which means there
are less slow paths to slow down the performance.

The basic idea is that there's two main paths taken.

 1) Not being interrupted between time stamps and reserving buffer space.
    In this case, the time stamps taken are true to the location in the
    buffer.

 2) Was interrupted by another path between taking time stamps and reserving
    buffer space.

The objective is to know what the delta is from the last reserved location
in the buffer.

As it is possible to detect if an event is interrupting another event before
reserving data, space is added to the length to be reserved to inject a full
time stamp along with the event being reserved.

When an event is not interrupted, the write stamp is always the time of the
last event written to the buffer.

In path 1, there's two sub paths we care about:

 a) The event did not interrupt another event.
 b) The event interrupted another event.

In case a, as the write stamp was read and known to be correct, the delta
between the current time stamp and the write stamp is the delta between the
current event and the previously recorded event.

In case b, extra space was reserved to just put the full time stamp into the
buffer. Which is done, as stated, in this path the time stamp taken is known
to match the location in the buffer.

In path 2, there's also two sub paths we care about:

 a) The event was not interrupted by another event since it reserved space
    on the buffer and re-reading the write stamp.
 b) The event was interrupted by another event.

In case a, the write stamp is that of the last event that interrupted this
event between taking the time stamps and reserving. As no event came in
after re-reading the write stamp, that event is known to be the time of the
event directly before this event and the delta can be the new time stamp and
the write stamp.

In case b, one or more events came in between reserving the event and
re-reading he write stamp. Since this event's buffer reservation is between
other events at this path, there's no way to know what the delta is. But
because an event interrupted this event after it started, its fine to just
give a zero delta, and take the same time stamp as the events that happened
within the event being recorded.

Here's the implementation of the design of this solution:

 All this is per cpu, and only needs to worry about nested events (not
 parallel events).

The players:

 write_tail: The index in the buffer where new events can be written to.
     It is incremented via local_add() to reserve space for a new event.

 before_stamp: A time stamp set by all events before reserving space.

 write_stamp: A time stamp updated by events after it has successfully
     reserved space.

	/* Save the current position of write */
 [A]	w = local_read(write_tail);
	barrier();
	/* Read both before and write stamps before touching anything */
	before = local_read(before_stamp);
	after = local_read(write_stamp);
	barrier();

	/*
	 * If before and after are the same, then this event is not
	 * interrupting a time update. If it is, then reserve space for adding
	 * a full time stamp (this can turn into a time extend which is
	 * just an extended time delta but fill up the extra space).
	 */
	if (after != before)
		abs = true;

	ts = clock();

	/* Now update the before_stamp (everyone does this!) */
 [B]	local_set(before_stamp, ts);

	/* Now reserve space on the buffer */
 [C]	write = local_add_return(len, write_tail);

	/* Set tail to be were this event's data is */
	tail = write - len;

 	if (w == tail) {

		/* Nothing interrupted this between A and C */
 [D]		local_set(write_stamp, ts);
		barrier();
 [E]		save_before = local_read(before_stamp);

 		if (!abs) {
			/* This did not interrupt a time update */
			delta = ts - after;
		} else {
			delta = ts; /* The full time stamp will be in use */
		}
		if (ts != save_before) {
			/* slow path - Was interrupted between C and E */
			/* The update to write_stamp could have overwritten the update to
			 * it by the interrupting event, but before and after should be
			 * the same for all completed top events */
			after = local_read(write_stamp);
			if (save_before > after)
				local_cmpxchg(write_stamp, after, save_before);
		}
	} else {
		/* slow path - Interrupted between A and C */

		after = local_read(write_stamp);
		temp_ts = clock();
		barrier();
 [F]		if (write == local_read(write_tail) && after < temp_ts) {
			/* This was not interrupted since C and F
			 * The last write_stamp is still valid for the previous event
			 * in the buffer. */
			delta = temp_ts - after;
			/* OK to keep this new time stamp */
			ts = temp_ts;
		} else {
			/* Interrupted between C and F
			 * Well, there's no use to try to know what the time stamp
			 * is for the previous event. Just set delta to zero and
			 * be the same time as that event that interrupted us before
			 * the reservation of the buffer. */

			delta = 0;
		}
		/* No need to use full timestamps here */
		abs = 0;
	}

      tracing: Move pipe reference to trace array instead of current_tracer · 7ef282e0
      Steven Rostedt (VMware) authored 
      If a process has the trace_pipe open on a trace_array, the current tracer
for that trace array should not be changed. This was original enforced by a
global lock, but when instances were introduced, it was moved to the
current_trace. But this structure is shared by all instances, and a
trace_pipe is for a single instance. There's no reason that a process that
has trace_pipe open on one instance should prevent another instance from
changing its current tracer. Move the reference counter to the trace_array
instead.

This is marked as "Fixes" but is more of a clean up than a true fix.
Backport if you want, but its not critical.

 "This is the x86/entry urgent pile which has accumulated since the

  It is not the smallest but considering the almost complete entry core
  rewrite, the amount of fixes to follow is somewhat higher than usual,
  which is to be expected.

  Peter Zijlstra says:
   'These patches address a number of instrumentation issues that were
    found after the x86/entry overhaul. When combined with rcu/urgent
    and objtool/urgent, these patches make UBSAN/KASAN/KCSAN happy
    again.

    Part of making this all work is bumping the minimum GCC version for
    KASAN builds to gcc-8.3, the reason for this is that the
    __no_sanitize_address function attribute is broken in GCC releases
    before that.

    No known GCC version has a working __no_sanitize_undefined, however
    because the only noinstr violation that results from this happens
    when an UB is found, we treat it like WARN. That is, we allow it to
    violate the noinstr rules in order to get the warning out'"

      sched/cfs: change initial value of runnable_avg · e21cf434
      Vincent Guittot authored 
      Some performance regression on reaim benchmark have been raised with
  commit 070f5e86 ("sched/fair: Take into account runnable_avg to classify group")

The problem comes from the init value of runnable_avg which is initialized
with max value. This can be a problem if the newly forked task is finally
a short task because the group of CPUs is wrongly set to overloaded and
tasks are pulled less agressively.

Set initial value of runnable_avg equals to util_avg to reflect that there
is no waiting time so far.
