Return EMULATION_OK/FAILED consistently. Also treat instruction fetch errors, not restricted to X86EMUL_UNHANDLEABLE, as EMULATION_FAILED; although this cannot happen in practice, the current logic will continue the emulation even if the decoder fails to fetch the instruction. Signed-off-by:

Instead of passing ctxt->_eip from insn_fetch() call sites, get it from ctxt in do_insn_fetch_byte(). This is done by replacing the argument _eip of insn_fetch() with _ctxt, which should be better than letting the macro use ctxt silently in its body. Though this changes the place where ctxt->_eip is incremented from insn_fetch() to do_insn_fetch_byte(), this does not have any real effect. Signed-off-by:

Currently the method of dealing with an IO operation on a bus (PIO/MMIO) is to call the read or write callback for each device registered on the bus until we find a device which handles it. Since the number of devices on a bus can be significant due to ioeventfds and coalesced MMIO zones, this leads to a lot of overhead on each IO operation. Instead of registering devices, we now register ranges which points to a device. Lookup is done using an efficient bsearch instead of a linear search. Performance test was conducted by comparing exit count per second with 200 ioeventfds created on one byte and the guest is trying to access a different byte continuously (triggering usermode exits). Before the patch the guest has achieved 259k exits per second, after the patch the guest does 274k exits per second.

The vmexit tracepoints format the exit_reason to make it human-readable. Since the exit_reason depends on the instruction set (vmx or svm), formatting is handled with ftrace_print_symbols_seq() by referring to the appropriate exit reason table. However, the ftrace_print_symbols_seq() function is not meant to be used directly in tracepoints since it does not export the formatting table which userspace tools like trace-cmd and perf use to format traces. In practice perf dies when formatting vmexit-related events and trace-cmd falls back to printing the numeric value (with extra formatting code in the kvm plugin to paper over this limitation). Other userspace consumers of vmexit-related tracepoints would be in similar trouble. To avoid significant changes to the kvm_exit tracepoint, this patch moves the vmx and svm exit reason tables into arch/x86/kvm/trace.h and selects the right table with __print_symbolic() depending on the instruction set. Note that __print_symbolic() is designed for exporting the formatting table to userspace and allows trace-cmd and perf to work. Signed-off-by:

The kvm_exit tracepoint recently added the isa argument to aid decoding exit_reason. The semantics of exit_reason depend on the instruction set (vmx or svm) and the isa argument allows traces to be analyzed on other machines. Add the isa argument to kvm_nested_vmexit and kvm_nested_vmexit_inject so these tracepoints can also be self-describing. Signed-off-by:

Commit 0945d4b228 tried to fix the get_msr path for the HV_X64_MSR_APIC_ASSIST_PAGE msr, but was poorly tested. We should be returning 0 if the read succeeded, and passing the value back to the caller via the pdata out argument, not returning the value directly. Signed-off-by:

"get" support for the HV_X64_MSR_APIC_ASSIST_PAGE msr was missing, even though it is explicitly enumerated as something the vmm should save in msrs_to_save and reported to userland via the KVM_GET_MSR_INDEX_LIST ioctl. Add "get" support for HV_X64_MSR_APIC_ASSIST_PAGE. We simply return the guest visible value of this register, which seems to be correct as a set on the register is validated for us already.

This patch changes coalesced mmio to create one mmio device per zone instead of handling all zones in one device. Doing so enables us to take advantage of existing locking and prevents a race condition between coalesced mmio registration/unregistration and lookups. Suggested-by:

The patch raises the hard limit of VCPU count to 254. This will allow developers to easily work on scalability and will allow users to test high VCPU setups easily without patching the kernel. To prevent possible issues with current setups, KVM_CAP_NR_VCPUS now returns the recommended VCPU limit (which is still 64) - this should be a safe value for everybody, while a new KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPUS returns the hard limit which is now 254.

GCC often introduces new warnings with lots of false positives - breaking -Werror builds. WERROR=0 allows one to build perf without much fuss - while still encouraging people to send patches to avoid the fuss of having to type WERROR=0. Bisecting back to commits that produce a (mostly harmless) warning on some compilers is more difficult. With WERROR=0 one could bisect without worrying about harmless warnings.

Buildid can vary in size. According to the man page of ld, buildid can be 160 bits (sha1) or 128 bits (md5, uuid). Perf assumes buildid size of 20 bytes (160 bits) regardless. When dealing with md5 buildids, it would thus read more than needed and that would cause mismatches and samples without symbols. This patch fixes this by taking into account the actual buildid size as encoded int he section header. The leftover bytes are also cleared. This second version fixes a minor issue with the memset() base position. Cc: David S.

Currently, analyzing PPC data files on x86 the cpu field is always 0 and the tid and pid are backwards. For example, analyzing a PPC file on PPC the pid/tid fields show: rsyslogd 1210/1212 and analyzing the same PPC file using an x86 perf binary shows: rsyslogd 1212/1210 The problem is that the swap_op method for samples is perf_event__all64_swap which assumes all elements in the sample_data struct are u64s. cpu, tid and pid are u32s and need to be handled individually. Given that the swap is done before the sample is parsed, the simplest solution is to undo the 64-bit swap of those elements when the sample is parsed and do the proper swap. The RAW data field is generic and perf cannot have programmatic knowledge of how to treat that data. Instead a warning is given to the user. Thanks to Anton Blanchard for providing a data file for a mult-CPU PPC system so I could verify the fix for the CPU fields. v3 -> v4: - fixed use of WARN_ONCE v2 -> v3: - used WARN_ONCE for message regarding raw data - removed struct wrapper around union - fixed whitespace issues v1 -> v2: - added a union for undoing the byte-swap on u64 and redoing swap on u32's to address compiler errors (see git commit 65014ab3) Cc: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1315321946-16993-1-git-send-email-dsahern@gmail.comSigned-off-by:David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Signed-off-by:

I took a profile that suggested 60% of total CPU time was in the hypervisor: ... 60.20% [H] 0x33d43c 4.43% [k] ._spin_lock_irqsave 1.07% [k] ._spin_lock Using perf stat to get the user/kernel/hypervisor breakdown contradicted this. The problem is we merge all unresolved samples into the one unknown bucket. If add a comparison by sample type to sort__sym_cmp we get the real picture: ... 57.11% [.] 0x80fbf63c 4.43% [k] ._spin_lock_irqsave 1.07% [k] ._spin_lock 0.65% [H] 0x33d43c So it was almost all userspace, not hypervisor as the initial profile suggested. I found another issue while adding this. Symbol sorting sometimes shows multiple entries for the unknown bucket: ... 16.65% [.] 0x6cd3a8 7.25% [.] 0x422460 5.37% [.] yylex 4.79% [.] malloc 4.78% [.] _int_malloc 4.03% [.] _int_free 3.95% [.] hash_source_code_string 2.82% [.] 0x532908 2.64% [.] 0x36b538 0.94% [H] 0x8000000000e132a4 0.82% [H] 0x800000000000e8b0 This happens because we aren't consistent with our sorting. On one hand we check to see if both symbols match and for two unresolved samples sym is NULL so we match: if (left->ms.sym == right->ms.sym) return 0; On the other hand we use sample IP for unresolved samples when comparing against a symbol: ip_l = left->ms.sym ? left->ms.sym->start : left->ip; ip_r = right->ms.sym ? right->ms.sym->start : right->ip; This means unresolved samples end up spread across the rbtree and we can't merge them all. If we use cmp_null all unresolved samples will end up in the one bucket and the output makes more sense: ... 39.12% [.] 0x36b538 5.37% [.] yylex 4.79% [.] malloc 4.78% [.] _int_malloc 4.03% [.] _int_free 3.95% [.] hash_source_code_string 2.26% [H] 0x800000000000e8b0 Acked-by:Eric B Munson <emunson@mgebm.net> Cc: Eric B Munson <emunson@mgebm.net> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Ian Munsie <imunsie@au1.ibm.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20110831115145.4f598ab2@krytenSigned-off-by:

perf_event__synthesize_mmap_events does not create anonymous mmap events even though the kernel does. As a result an already running application with dynamically created code will not get profiled - all samples end up in the unknown bucket. This patch skips any entries with '[' in the name to avoid adding events for special regions (eg the vsyscall page). All other executable mmaps are assumed to be anonymous and an event is synthesized. Acked-by:

perf-record currently creates events enabled. When doing a system wide collection (-a arg) this causes data collection for perf's initialization activities -- eg., perf_event__synthesize_threads(). For some events (e.g., context switch S/W event or tracepoints like syscalls) perf's initialization causes a lot of events to be captured frequently generating "Check IO/CPU overload!" warnings on larger systems (e.g., 2 socket, quad core, hyperthreading). perf's initialization phase can be skipped by creating events disabled and then enabling them once the initialization is done.

kallsyms__parse assumes that /proc/kallsyms is sorted and sets the end of the previous symbol to the start of the current one. Unfortunately module symbols are not sorted, eg: ffffffffa0081f30 t e1000_clean_rx_irq [e1000e] ffffffffa00817a0 t e1000_alloc_rx_buffers [e1000e] Some symbols end up with a negative length and others have a length larger than they should. This results in confusing perf output. We already have a function to fixup the end of zero length symbols so use that instead.

Fix to call convert_variable() if previous call does not fail. To call convert_variable, it ensures "ret" is 0. However, since "ret" has the return value of synthesize_perf_probe_arg() which always returns positive value if it succeeded, perf probe doesn't call convert_variable(). This will cause a SEGV when we add an event with arguments. This has to be fixed as it ensures "ret" is greater than 0 (or not negative).
