Adding mem2node object to allow the easy lookup of the node for the physical address. It has following interface: int mem2node__init(struct mem2node *map, struct perf_env *env); void mem2node__exit(struct mem2node *map); int mem2node__node(struct mem2node *map, u64 addr); The mem2node__toolsinit initialize object from the perf data file MEM_TOPOLOGY feature data. Following calls to mem2node__node will return node number for given physical address. The mem2node__exit function frees the object. Signed-off-by:

When perf_group_dettach() is called on a group leader, it updates each sibling's group_leader field to point to that sibling, effectively upgrading each siblnig to a group leader. After perf_group_detach has completed, the caller may free the leader event. We only remove siblings from the group leader's sibling_list when the leader has a non-empty group_node. This was fine prior to commit: 8343aae6 ("perf/core: Remove perf_event::group_entry") ... as the sibling's sibling_list would be empty. However, now that we use the sibling_list field as both the list head and the list entry, this leaves each sibling with a non-empty sibling list, including the stale leader event. If perf_group_detach() is subsequently called on a sibling, it will appear to be a group leader, and we'll walk the sibling_list, potentially dereferencing these stale events. In 0day testing, this has been observed to result in kernel panics. Let's avoid this by always removing siblings from the sibling list when we promote them to leaders.

Mark noticed that the change to sibling_list changed some iteration semantics; because previously we used group_list as list entry, sibling events would always have an empty sibling_list. But because we now use sibling_list for both list head and list entry, siblings will report as having siblings. Fix this with a custom for_each_sibling_event() iterator.

Problem and motivation: Once a breakpoint perf event (PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT) is created, there is no flexibility to change the breakpoint type (bp_type), breakpoint address (bp_addr), or breakpoint length (bp_len). The only option is to close the perf event and configure a new breakpoint event. This inflexibility has a significant performance overhead. For example, sampling-based, lightweight performance profilers (and also concurrency bug detection tools), monitor different addresses for a short duration using PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT and change the address (bp_addr) to another address or change the kind of breakpoint (bp_type) from "write" to a "read" or vice-versa or change the length (bp_len) of the address being monitored. The cost of these modifications is prohibitive since it involves unmapping the circular buffer associated with the perf event, closing the perf event, opening another perf event and mmaping another circular buffer. Solution: The new ioctl flag for perf events, PERF_EVENT_IOC_MODIFY_ATTRIBUTES, introduced in this patch takes a pointer to a struct perf_event_attr as an argument to update an old breakpoint event with new address, type, and size. This facility allows retaining a previous mmaped perf events ring buffer and avoids having to close and reopen another perf event. This patch supports only changing PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT event type; future implementations can extend this feature. The patch replicates some of its functionality of modify_user_hw_breakpoint() in kernel/events/hw_breakpoint.c. modify_user_hw_breakpoint cannot be called directly since perf_event_ctx_lock() is already held in _perf_ioctl(). Evidence: Experiments show that the baseline (not able to modify an already created breakpoint) costs an order of magnitude (~10x) more than the suggested optimization (having the ability to dynamically modifying a configured breakpoint via ioctl). When the breakpoints typically do not trap, the speedup due to the suggested optimization is ~10x; even when the breakpoints always trap, the speedup is ~4x due to the suggested optimization. Testing: tests posted at https://github.com/linux-contrib/perf_event_modify_bp demonstrate the performance significance of this patch. Tests also check the functional correctness of the patch.

Adding test that: - detects the number of watch/break-points, skip test if any is missing - detects PERF_EVENT_IOC_MODIFY_ATTRIBUTES ioctl, skip test if it's missing - detects if watchpoints and breakpoints share same slots - create all possible watchpoints on cpu 0 - change one of it to breakpoint - in case wp and bp do not share slots, we create another watchpoint to ensure the slot accounting is correct Signed-off-by: -

And rename it to modify_user_hw_breakpoint_check(). We are about to use modify_user_hw_breakpoint_check() for user space breakpoints modification, we must be very strict to check only the fields we can change have changed. As Peter explained: "Suppose someone does: attr = malloc(sizeof(*attr)); // uninitialized memory attr->type = BP; attr->bp_addr = new_addr; attr->bp_type = bp_type; attr->bp_len = bp_len; ioctl(fd, PERF_IOC_MOD_ATTR, &attr); And feeds absolute shite for the rest of the fields. Then we later want to extend IOC_MOD_ATTR to allow changing attr::sample_type but we can't, because that would break the above application." I'm making this check optional because we already export modify_user_hw_breakpoint() and with this check we could break existing users. Suggested-by: -

There's two problems when installing cgroup events on CPUs: firstly list_update_cgroup_event() only tries to set cpuctx->cgrp for the first event, if that mismatches on @cgrp we'll not try again for later additions. Secondly, when we install a cgroup event into an active context, only issue an event reprogram when the event matches the current cgroup context. This avoids a pointless event reprogramming.

The event schedule order (as per perf_event_sched_in()) is: - cpu pinned - task pinned - cpu flexible - task flexible But perf_rotate_context() will unschedule cpu-flexible even if it doesn't need a rotation. Signed-off-by:
-
Peter Zijlstra authored
Similar to how first programming cpu=-1 and then cpu=# is wrong, so is rotating both. It was especially wrong when we were still programming the PMU in this same order, because in that scenario we might never actually end up running cpu=# events at all. Cure this by using the active_list to pick the rotation event; since at programming we already select the left-most event. Signed-off-by:

Scheduling in events with cpu=-1 before events with cpu=# changes semantics and is undesirable in that it would priorize these events. Given that groups->index is across all groups we actually have an inter-group ordering, meaning we can merge-sort two groups, which is just what we need to preserve semantics. Signed-off-by:

The above callchain does: perf_event_exit_task() perf_event_exit_task_context() task_ctx_sched_out() // INACTIVE perf_event_exit_event() perf_event_set_state(EXIT) // EXIT sync_child_event() perf_event_read_event() perf_output_read() perf_output_read_group() leader->pmu->read() Which results in doing a pmu::read() on an !ACTIVE event. I _think_ this is 'new' since we added attr.inherit_stat, which added the perf_event_read_event() to the exit path, without that perf_event_read_output() would only trigger from samples and for @event to trigger a sample, it's leader _must_ be ACTIVE too. Still, adding this check makes it consistent with the @sub case for the siblings. Reported-and-Tested-by:

Userspace RDPMC cannot possibly work for large PEBS, which was introduced in: b8241d20699e ("perf/x86/intel: Implement batched PEBS interrupt handling (large PEBS interrupt threshold)") When the PEBS interrupt threshold is larger than one, there is no way to get exact auto-reload times and value for userspace RDPMC. Disable the userspace RDPMC usage when large PEBS is enabled. The only exception is when the PEBS interrupt threshold is 1, in which case user-space RDPMC works well even with auto-reload events.

Auto-reload needs to be specially handled when reading event counts. Signed-off-by:

Kan Liang authored
There is a bug when reading event->count with large PEBS enabled. Here is an example: # ./read_count 0x71f0 0x122c0 0x1000000001c54 0x100000001257d 0x200000000bdc5 In fixed period mode, the auto-reload mechanism could be enabled for PEBS events, but the calculation of event->count does not take the auto-reload values into account. Anyone who reads event->count will get the wrong result, e.g x86_pmu_read(). This bug was introduced with the auto-reload mechanism enabled since commit: 851559e3 ("perf/x86/intel: Use the PEBS auto reload mechanism when possible") Introduce intel_pmu_save_and_restart_reload() to calculate the event->count only for auto-reload. Since the counter increments a negative counter value and overflows on the sign switch, giving the interval: [-period, 0] the difference between two consequtive reads is: A) value2 - value1; when no overflows have happened in between, B) (0 - value1) + (value2 - (-period)); when one overflow happened in between, C) (0 - value1) + (n - 1) * (period) + (value2 - (-period)); when @n overflows happened in between. Here A) is the obvious difference, B) is the extension to the discrete interval, where the first term is to the top of the interval and the second term is from the bottom of the next interval and C) the extension to multiple intervals, where the middle term is the whole intervals covered. The equation for all cases is: value2 - value1 + n * period Previously the event->count is updated right before the sample output. But for case A, there is no PEBS record ready. It needs to be specially handled. Remove the auto-reload code from x86_perf_event_set_period() since we'll not longer call that function in this case.

The PMU is disabled in intel_pmu_handle_irq(), but cpuc->enabled is not updated accordingly. This is fine in current usage because no-one checks it - but fix it for future code: for example, the drain_pebs() will be modified to fix an auto-reload bug. Properly save/restore the old PMU state.

Large fixed period values could be truncated on Broadwell, for example: perf record -e cycles -c 10000000000 Here the fixed period is 0x2540BE400, but the period which finally applied is 0x540BE400 - which is wrong. The reason is that x86_pmu::limit_period() uses an u32 parameter, so the high 32 bits of 'period' get truncated. This bug was introduced in: commit 294fe0f5 ("perf/x86/intel: Add INST_RETIRED.ALL workarounds") It's safe to use u64 instead of u32: - Although the 'left' is s64, the value of 'left' must be positive when calling limit_period(). - bdw_limit_period() only modifies the lowest 6 bits, it doesn't touch the higher 32 bits.
