This patch implements 64 bit counter support for IBS. The sampling period is no longer limited to the hw counter width. The functions perf_event_set_period() and perf_event_try_update() can be used as generic functions. They can replace similar code that is duplicate across architectures.

Add code to control the IBS pmu. We need to maintain per-cpu states. Since some states are used and changed by the nmi handler, access to these states must be atomic.

This patch implements code to handle ibs interrupts. If ibs data is available a raw perf_event data sample is created and sent back to the userland. This patch only implements the storage of ibs data in the raw sample, but this could be extended in a later patch by generating generic event data such as the rip from the ibs sampling data.

This patch implements perf configuration for AMD IBS. The IBS pmu is selected using the type attribute in sysfs. There are two types of ibs pmus, for instruction fetch (IBS_FETCH) and for instruction execution (IBS_OP): /sys/bus/event_source/devices/ibs_fetch/type /sys/bus/event_source/devices/ibs_op/type Except for the sample period IBS can only be set up with raw config values and raw data samples. The event attributes for the syscall should be programmed like this (IBS_FETCH): type = get_pmu_type("/sys/bus/event_source/devices/ibs_fetch/type"); memset(&attr, 0, sizeof(attr)); attr.type = type; attr.sample_type = PERF_SAMPLE_CPU | PERF_SAMPLE_RAW; attr.config = IBS_FETCH_CONFIG_DEFAULT; This implementation does not yet support 64 bit counters. It is limited to the hardware counter bit width which is 20 bits. 64 bit support can be added later.

Fix a bug in kprobes which can modify kernel code permanently at run-time. In the result, kernel can crash when it executes the modified code. This bug can happen when we put two probes enough near and the first probe is optimized. When the second probe is set up, it copies a byte which is already modified by the first probe, and executes it when the probe is hit. Even worse, the first probe and the second probe are removed respectively, the second probe writes back the copied (modified) instruction. To fix this bug, kprobes always recovers the original code and copies the first byte from recovered instruction.

Current probed-instruction recovery expects that only breakpoint instruction modifies instruction. However, since kprobes jump optimization can replace original instructions with a jump, that expectation is not enough. And it may cause instruction decoding failure on the function where an optimized probe already exists. This bug can reproduce easily as below: 1) find a target function address (any kprobe-able function is OK) $ grep __secure_computing /proc/kallsyms ffffffff810c19d0 T __secure_computing 2) decode the function $ objdump -d vmlinux --start-address=0xffffffff810c19d0 --stop-address=0xffffffff810c19eb vmlinux: file format elf64-x86-64 Disassembly of section .text: ffffffff810c19d0 <__secure_computing>: ffffffff810c19d0: 55 push %rbp ffffffff810c19d1: 48 89 e5 mov %rsp,%rbp ffffffff810c19d4: e8 67 8f 72 00 callq ffffffff817ea940 <mcount> ffffffff810c19d9: 65 48 8b 04 25 40 b8 mov %gs:0xb840,%rax ffffffff810c19e0: 00 00 ffffffff810c19e2: 83 b8 88 05 00 00 01 cmpl $0x1,0x588(%rax) ffffffff810c19e9: 74 05 je ffffffff810c19f0 <__secure_computing+0x20> 3) put a kprobe-event at an optimize-able place, where no call/jump places within the 5 bytes. $ su - # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # echo p __secure_computing+0x9 > kprobe_events 4) enable it and check it is optimized. # echo 1 > events/kprobes/p___secure_computing_9/enable # cat ../kprobes/list ffffffff810c19d9 k __secure_computing+0x9 [OPTIMIZED] 5) put another kprobe on an instruction after previous probe in the same function. # echo p __secure_computing+0x12 >> kprobe_events bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument # dmesg | tail -n 1 [ 1666.500016] Probing address(0xffffffff810c19e2) is not an instruction boundary. 6) however, if the kprobes optimization is disabled, it works. # echo 0 > /proc/sys/debug/kprobes-optimization # cat ../kprobes/list ffffffff810c19d9 k __secure_computing+0x9 # echo p __secure_computing+0x12 >> kprobe_events (no error) This is because kprobes doesn't recover the instruction which is overwritten with a relative jump by another kprobe when finding instruction boundary. It only recovers the breakpoint instruction. This patch fixes kprobes to recover such instructions. With this fix: # echo p __secure_computing+0x9 > kprobe_events # echo 1 > events/kprobes/p___secure_computing_9/enable # cat ../kprobes/list ffffffff810c1aa9 k __secure_computing+0x9 [OPTIMIZED] # echo p __secure_computing+0x12 >> kprobe_events # cat ../kprobes/list ffffffff810c1aa9 k __secure_computing+0x9 [OPTIMIZED] ffffffff810c1ab2 k __secure_computing+0x12 [DISABLED] Changes in v4: - Fix a bug to ensure optimized probe is really optimized by jump. - Remove kprobe_optready() dependency. - Cleanup code for preparing optprobe separation. Changes in v3: - Fix a build error when CONFIG_OPTPROBE=n. (Thanks, Ingo!) To fix the error, split optprobe instruction recovering path from kprobes path. - Cleanup comments/styles. Changes in v2: - Fix a bug to recover original instruction address in RIP-relative instruction fixup. - Moved on tip/master.

If perf_evsel__open() failed, the errno was set and returned properly. However since the perf_evlist__open() called close() on fd's for all of evsel x cpu x thread after the failure, the errno was overridden by other code (EBADF). So the caller of the function ended up seeing different error message and getting confused. Fit it by restoring original return value. Because one of caller of the function is in the python extension, and it uses system errno internally, it'd be better restoring the original value rather than using the return value of the function directly, IMHO (i.e. I'm not a python expert :) Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1329966816-23175-1-git-send-email-namhyung.kim@lge.comSigned-off-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung.kim@lge.com> Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

It turned out that a performance counter on AMD does not count at all when the GO or HO bit is set in the control register and SVM is disabled in EFER. This patch works around this issue by masking out the HO bit in the performance counter control register when SVM is not enabled. The GO bit is not touched because it is only set when the user wants to count in guest-mode only. So when SVM is disabled the counter should not run at all and the not-counting is the intended behaviour.

The 'perf probe' command allows kprobe to be inserted at any offset from a function start, which results in adding kprobes to unintended location. (example: perf probe do_fork+10000 is allowed even though size of do_fork is ~904). My previous patch https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/2/24/42 addressed the case where DWARF info was available for the kernel.

Merge tag 'stable/for-linus-fixes-3.3-rc5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen Two fixes to fix a memory corruption bug when WC pages never get converted back to WB but end up being recycled in the general memory pool as WC. There is a better way of fixing this, but there is not enough time to do the full benchmarking to pick one of the right options - so picking the one that favors stability for right now.
