perf sched replay: Use replay_repeat to calculate the runavg of cpu usage instead of the default value 10 Since sched->replay_repeat is set to 10 as default, the sched->run_avg, sched->runavg_cpu_usage, and sched->runavg_parent_cpu_usage all use 10 to calculate their value. However, the replay_repeat can be changed to other value by using -r option, so the calculation above should use replay_repeat to achieve more accurate results instead of the default value 10.

The soft maximum number of open files for a calling process is 1024, which is defined as INR_OPEN_CUR in include/uapi/linux/fs.h, and the hard maximum number of open files for a calling process is 4096, which is defined as INR_OPEN_MAX in include/uapi/linux/fs.h. Both INR_OPEN_CUR and INR_OPEN_MAX are used to limit the value of RLIMIT_NOFILE in include/asm-generic/resource.h. And the soft maximum number finally decides the limitation of the maximum files which are allowed to be opened. That is to say a process can use at most 1024 file descriptors for its o pened files, or an EMFILE error will happen. This error can be fixed by increasing the soft maximum number, under the constraint that the soft maximum number can not exceed the hard maximum number, or both soft and hard maximum number should be increased simultaneously with privilege. For perf sched replay, it uses sys_perf_event_open to create the file descriptor for each of the tasks in order to handle information of perf events. That is to say each task needs a unique file descriptor. In x86_64, there may be over 1024 or 4096 tasks correspoinding to the record in perf.data, which causes that no enough file descriptors can be used. As a result, EMFILE error happens and stops the replay process. To solve this problem, we adaptively increase the soft and hard maximum number of open files with a '-f' option. Example: Test environment: x86_64 with 160 cores $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max 163840 $ cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max 6815744 $ ulimit -Sn 1024 $ ulimit -Hn 4096 Before this patch: $ perf sched replay ... task 1549 ( :163132: 163132), nr_events: 1 task 1550 ( :163540: 163540), nr_events: 1 task 1551 ( <unknown>: 0), nr_events: 10 Error: sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with -1 (Too many open files) After this patch: $ perf sched replay ... task 1549 ( :163132: 163132), nr_events: 1 task 1550 ( :163540: 163540), nr_events: 1 task 1551 ( <unknown>: 0), nr_events: 10 Error: sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with -1 (Too many open files) Have a try with -f option $ perf sched replay -f ... task 1549 ( :163132: 163132), nr_events: 1 task 1550 ( :163540: 163540), nr_events: 1 task 1551 ( <unknown>: 0), nr_events: 10 ------------------------------------------------------------ #1 : 54.401, ravg: 54.40, cpu: 3285.21 / 3285.21 #2 : 199.548, ravg: 68.92, cpu: 4999.65 / 3456.66 #3 : 170.483, ravg: 79.07, cpu: 1349.94 / 3245.99 #4 : 192.034, ravg: 90.37, cpu: 1322.88 / 3053.67 #5 : 182.929, ravg: 99.62, cpu: 1406.51 / 2888.96 #6 : 152.974, ravg: 104.96, cpu: 1167.54 / 2716.82 #7 : 155.579, ravg: 110.02, cpu: 2992.53 / 2744.39 #8 : 130.557, ravg: 112.08, cpu: 1126.43 / 2582.59 #9 : 138.520, ravg: 114.72, cpu: 1253.22 / 2449.65 #10 : 134.328, ravg: 116.68, cpu: 1587.95 / 2363.48 Signed-off-by:

Since there is sem_wait for each task in the wait_for_tasks(), e.g. sem_wait(&task->work_done_sem). The sem_wait can continue only when work_done_sem is greater than 0, or it will be blocked. For perf sched replay, one task may sem_post the work_done_sem of another task, which causes the work_done_sem of that task processed in a reasonable sequence, e.g. sem_post, sem_wait, sem_wait, sem_post... This sequence simulates the sched process of the running tasks at the time when perf sched record runs. As a result, all the tasks are required and their threads must be successfully created. If any one (task A) of the tasks fails to create its thread, then another task (task B), whose work_done_sem needs sem_post from that failed task A, may likely block itself due to seg_wait. And this is a dead halt, since task B's thread_func cannot continue at all. To solve this problem, perf sched replay should exit once any task fails to create its thread. Example: Test environment: x86_64 with 160 cores Before this patch: $ perf sched replay ... Error: sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with -1 (Too many open files) ------------------------------------------------------------ <- dead halt After this patch: $ perf sched replay ... task 1551 ( <unknown>: 0), nr_events: 10 Error: sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with -1 (Too many open files) $ As shown above, perf sched replay finishes the process after printing an error message and does not block itself.

The pr_err in self_open_counters() prints error message to stderr. Unlike stdout, stderr uses memory buffer on the stack of each calling process. The pr_err in self_open_counters() works in a thread called thread_func created in function create_tasks, which concurrently creates sched->nr_tasks threads. If the error happens and pr_err prints the error message in each of these threads, the stack size of the perf process (default is 8192 kbytes) will quickly run out and the segmentation fault will happen then. To solve this problem, pr_err with self_open_counters() should be moved from newly created threads to the old main thread of the perf process. Then the pr_err can work in a stable situation without the strange segmentation fault problem. Example: Test environment: x86_64 with 160 cores Before this patch: $ perf sched replay ... task 1549 ( :163132: 163132), nr_events: 1 task 1550 ( :163540: 163540), nr_events: 1 task 1551 ( <unknown>: 0), nr_events: 10 Segmentation fault After this patch: $ perf sched replay ... task 1549 ( :163132: 163132), nr_events: 1 task 1550 ( :163540: 163540), nr_events: 1 task 1551 ( <unknown>: 0), nr_events: 10 ...

perf sched replay: Realloc the memory of pid_to_task stepwise to adapt to the different pid_max configurations Although the memory of pid_to_task can be allocated via calloc according to the value of /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max, it cannot handle the case when pid_max is changed after 'perf sched record' has created its perf.data. If the new pid_max configured in 'perf sched replay' is smaller than the old pid_max configured in 'perf sched record', then it will cause the assertion failure problem. To solve this problem, we realloc the memory of pid_to_task stepwise once the passed-in pid parameter in register_pid is larger than the current pid_max. Example: Test environment: x86_64 with 160 cores $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max 163840 $ perf sched record ls $ echo 5000 > /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max 5000 Before this patch: $ perf sched replay run measurement overhead: 221 nsecs sleep measurement overhead: 55356 nsecs the run test took 1000011 nsecs the sleep test took 1060940 nsecs perf: builtin-sched.c:337: register_pid: Assertion `!(pid >= (unsigned long)pid_max)' failed.

perf sched replay: Alloc the memory of pid_to_task dynamically to adapt to the unexpected change of pid_max The current memory allocation of struct task_desc *pid_to_task[MAX_PID] is in a permanent and preset way, and it has two problems: Problem 1: If the pid_max, which is the max number of pids in the system, is much smaller than MAX_PID (1024*1000), then it causes a waste of stack memory. This may happen in the case where the number of cpu cores is much smaller than 1000. Problem 2: If the pid_max is changed from the default value to a value larger than MAX_PID, then it will cause assertion failure problem. The maximum value of pid_max can be set to pid_max_max (see pidmap_init defined in kernel/pid.c), which equals to PID_MAX_LIMIT. In x86_64, PID_MAX_LIMIT is 4*1024*1024 (defined in include/linux/threads.h). This value is much larger than MAX_PID, and will take up 32768 Kbytes (4*1024*1024*8/1024) for memory allocation of pid_to_task, which is much larger than the default 8192 Kbytes of the stack size of calling process. Due to these two problems, we use calloc to allocate the memory of pid_to_task dynamically. Example: Test environment: x86_64 with 160 cores $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max 163840 $ echo 1025000 > /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max 1025000 Run some applications until the pid of some process is greater than the value of MAX_PID (1024*1000).

Current MAX_PID is only 65536, which will cause assertion failure problem when CPU cores are more than 64 in x86_64. This is because the pid_max value in x86_64 is at least PIDS_PER_CPU_DEFAULT * num_possible_cpus() (see function pidmap_init defined in kernel/pid.c), where PIDS_PER_CPU_DEFAULT is 1024 (defined in include/linux/threads.h). Thus for MAX_PID = 65536, the correspoinding CPU cores are 65536/1024=64. This is obviously not enough at all for x86_64, and will cause an assertion failure problem due to BUG_ON(pid >= MAX_PID) in the codes. We increase MAX_PID value from 65536 to 1024*1000, which can be used in x86_64 with 1000 cores. This number is finally decided according to the limitation of stack size of calling process. Use 'ulimit -a', the result shows the stack size of any process is 8192 Kbytes, which is defined in include/uapi/linux/resource.h (#define _STK_LIM (8*1024*1024)). Thus we choose a large enough value for MAX_PID, and make it satisfy to the limitation of the stack size, i.e., making the perf process take up a memory space just smaller than 8192 Kbytes. We have calculated and tested that 1024*1000 is OK for MAX_PID. This means perf sched replay can now be used with at most 1000 cores in x86_64 without any assertion failure problem. Example: Test environment: x86_64 with 160 cores $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max 163840 Before this patch: $ perf sched replay run measurement overhead: 240 nsecs sleep measurement overhead: 55379 nsecs the run test took 1000004 nsecs the sleep test took 1059424 nsecs perf: builtin-sched.c:330: register_pid: Assertion `!(pid >= 65536)' failed.

Currently it ignores operator priority and just sets processed args as a right operand. But it could result in priority inversion in case that the right operand is also a operator arg and its priority is lower. For example, following print format is from new kmem events. "page=%p", REC->pfn != -1UL ? (((struct page *)(0xffffea0000000000UL)) + (REC->pfn)) : ((void *)0) But this was treated as below: REC->pfn != ((null - 1UL) ? ((struct page *)0xffffea0000000000UL + REC->pfn) : (void *) 0) In this case, the right arg was '?' operator which has lower priority. But it just sets the whole arg so making the output confusing - page was always 0 or 1 since that's the result of logical operation. With this patch, it can handle it properly like following: ((REC->pfn != (null - 1UL)) ? ((struct page *)0xffffea0000000000UL + REC->pfn) : (void *) 0) Signed-off-by:

To solve this issue, I've introduced 2 changes. - Fix die_find_member() to track down the type-DIE if it is unnamed, and if it contains the specified member, returns the unnamed member. (note that we don't return found member, since unnamed member has the offset in the parent structure) - Fix convert_variable_fields() to track down the unnamed union/ structure (one-by-one).

The perf PMI currently does unnecessary MSR accesses when LBRs are enabled. We use LBR freezing, or when in callstack mode force the LBRs to only filter on ring 3. So there is no need to disable the LBRs explicitely in the PMI handler. Also we always unnecessarily rewrite LBR_SELECT in the LBR handler, even though it can never change. 5) | /* write_msr: MSR_LBR_SELECT(1c8), value 0 */ 5) | /* read_msr: MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR(1d9), value 1801 */ 5) | /* write_msr: MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR(1d9), value 1801 */ 5) | /* write_msr: MSR_CORE_PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL(38f), value 70000000f */ 5) | /* write_msr: MSR_CORE_PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL(38f), value 0 */ 5) | /* write_msr: MSR_LBR_SELECT(1c8), value 0 */ 5) | /* read_msr: MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR(1d9), value 1801 */ 5) | /* write_msr: MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR(1d9), value 1801 */ This patch: - Avoids disabling already frozen LBRs unnecessarily in the PMI - Avoids changing LBR_SELECT in the PMI Signed-off-by:

This patch disables the PMU HT bug when Hyperthreading (HT) is disabled. We cannot do this test immediately when perf_events is initialized. We need to wait until the topology information is setup properly. As such, we register a later initcall, check the topology and potentially disable the workaround. To do this, we need to ensure there is no user of the PMU. At this point of the boot, the only user is the NMI watchdog, thus we disable it during the switch and re-enable it right after. Having the workaround disabled when it is not needed provides some benefits by limiting the overhead is time and space. The workaround still ensures correct scheduling of the corrupting memory events (0xd0, 0xd1, 0xd2) when HT is off. Those events can only be measured on counters 0-3. Something else the current kernel did not handle correctly. Signed-off-by:

perf/x86/intel: Limit to half counters when the HT workaround is enabled, to avoid exclusive mode starvation This patch limits the number of counters available to each CPU when the HT bug workaround is enabled. This is necessary to avoid situation of counter starvation. Such can arise from configuration where one HT thread, HT0, is using all 4 counters with corrupting events which require exclusion the the sibling HT, HT1. In such case, HT1 would not be able to schedule any event until HT0 is done. To mitigate this problem, this patch artificially limits the number of counters to 2. That way, we can gurantee that at least 2 counters are not in exclusive mode and therefore allow the sibling thread to schedule events of the same type (system vs. per-thread). The 2 counters are not determined in advance. We simply set the limit to two events per HT. This helps mitigate starvation in case of events with specific counter constraints such a PREC_DIST. Note that this does not elimintate the starvation is all cases. But it is better than not having it. (Solution suggested by Peter Zjilstra.) Signed-off-by:
