perf tools: Add parse_events_error interface

Adding support to return error information from parse_events function.
Following struct will be populated by parse_events function on return:

  struct parse_events_error {
    int   idx;
    char *str;
    char *help;
  };

where 'idx' is the position in the string where the parsing failed,
'str' contains dynamically allocated error string describing the error
and 'help' is optional help string.

The change contains reporting function, which currently does not display
anything. The code changes to supply error data for specific event types
are coming in next patches. However this is what the expected output is:

  $ sudo perf record -e 'sched:krava' ls
  event syntax error: 'sched:krava'
                       \___ unknown tracepoint
  ...

  $ perf record -e 'cpu/even=0x1/' ls
  event syntax error: 'cpu/even=0x1/'
                           \___ unknown term

  valid terms: pc,any,inv,edge,cmask,event,in_tx,ldlat,umask,in_tx_cp,offcore_rsp,config,config1,config2,name,period,branch_type

  $ perf record -e cycles,cache-mises ls
  event syntax error: '..es,cache-mises'
                                 \___ parser error
  ...

The output functions cut the beginning of the event string so the error
starts up to 10th character and cut the end of the string of it crosses
the terminal width.

9 years agoperf script: Add field option 'flags' to print sample flags
Adrian Hunter [Thu, 9 Apr 2015 15:54:05 +0000 (18:54 +0300)]
perf script: Add field option 'flags' to print sample flags

Instruction tracing will typically have access to information about the
instruction being executed for a particular ip sample.  Some of that
information will be available in the 'flags' member of struct
perf_sample.

With the addition of transactions events synthesis to Instruction
Tracing options, there is a need to be able easily to see the flags
because they show whether the ip is at the start, commit or abort of a
tranasaction.

Consequently add an option to display the flags.

The flags are "bcrosyiABEx" which stand for branch, call, return,
conditional, system, asynchronous, interrupt, transaction abort, trace
begin, trace end, and in transaction, respectively.

Example using Intel PT:

Hook into session processing so that AUX area decoding can synthesize

The advantages of transparent decoding are that tools can be used
directly with perf.data files containing AUX area tracing data, which is
easier for the user and more efficient than having a separate decoding
tool.

This will work as follows:

1. Tools will feed auxtrace events to the decoder using
   perf_tool->auxtrace() (support for that still to come).

2. The decoder can process side-band events as needed due
   to the auxtrace->process_event() hook.

3. The decoder can deliver synthesized events into the
   event stream using perf_session__deliver_synth_event().

Note the expectation is that decoding will work on data that is

9 years agoperf auxtrace: Add support for AUX area recording

perf auxtrace: Add support for AUX area recording

Add support for reading from the AUX area tracing mmap and synthesizing
AUX area tracing events.

This patch introduces an abstraction for recording AUX area data.

Recording is initialized by auxtrace_record__init() which is a weak
function to be implemented by the architecture to provide recording
callbacks.

Recording is mainly handled by auxtrace_mmap__read() and
perf_event__synthesize_auxtrace() but there are callbacks for
miscellaneous needs including validating and processing user options,
populating private data in auxtrace_info_event, and freeing the
structure when finished.

perf data: Fix signedness of value

When converting int values, perf first extractes it to a ulonglong, then
feeds it to babeltrace as a signed value.

For negative 32 bit values (for example, return values of failed
syscalls), the extracted data should be something like 0xfffffffe (-2).
It becomes a large int64 value.

Babeltrace denies to insert it with bt_ctf_field_signed_integer_set_value()
because it is larger than 0x7fffffff, the largest positive value a
 32 bit int can be.

This patch introduces adjust_signedness(), which fills high bits of
ulonglong with 1 if the value is negative.

perf probe: Fix segfault when probe with lazy_line to file

The first argument passed to find_probe_point_lazy() should be CU die,

Currently, when we probe with lazy_line pattern to file without function
name, NULL pointer is passed and causes a segment fault.

perf kmem: Analyze page allocator events also

The perf kmem command records and analyze kernel memory allocation only
for SLAB objects.  This patch implement a simple page allocator analyzer
using kmem:mm_page_alloc and kmem:mm_page_free events.

It adds two new options of --slab and --page.  The --slab option is for
analyzing SLAB allocator and that's what perf kmem currently does.

The new --page option enables page allocator events and analyze kernel
memory usage in page unit.  Currently, 'stat --alloc' subcommand is
implemented only.

If none of these --slab nor --page is specified, --slab is implied.

First run 'perf kmem record' to generate a suitable perf.data file:

  # perf kmem record --page sleep 5

Then run 'perf kmem stat' to postprocess the perf.data file:

  # perf kmem stat --page --alloc --line 10

tracing, mm: Record pfn instead of pointer to struct page

The struct page is opaque for userspace tools, so it'd be better to save
pfn in order to identify page frames.

The textual output of $debugfs/tracing/trace file remains unchanged and
only raw (binary) data format is changed - but thanks to libtraceevent,
userspace tools which deal with the raw data (like perf and trace-cmd)
can parse the format easily.  So impact on the userspace will also be
minimal.

is a bit messy: for example the kfree(de_attrs) is entirely
superfluous.

Another problem is the inconsistent mixing of label based and
direct return error handling.

Add modern, label based error handling instead and clean up the code
a bit as well.

Note that we'll still do a kfree(NULL) in the normal case - this does
not matter as this is an init path and kfree() returns early if it
sees a NULL.

perf_event__exit_del_thread() releases thread wihout using

9 years agoperf sched replay: Fix the EMFILE error caused by the limitation of the maximum open...
Yunlong Song [Tue, 31 Mar 2015 13:46:34 +0000 (21:46 +0800)]
perf sched replay: Fix the EMFILE error caused by the limitation of the maximum open files

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

Yunlong Song [Tue, 31 Mar 2015 13:46:33 +0000 (21:46 +0800)]
perf sched replay: Handle the dead halt of sem_wait when create_tasks() fails for any task

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

 Error: sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with -1 (Too many open

 $

As shown above, perf sched replay finishes the process after printing an
error message and does not block itself.

perf sched replay: Fix the segmentation fault problem caused by pr_err in threads

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

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

the value of MAX_PID (1024*1000).

9 years agoperf sched replay: Increase the MAX_PID value to fix assertion failure problem
Yunlong Song [Tue, 31 Mar 2015 13:46:29 +0000 (21:46 +0800)]
perf sched replay: Increase the MAX_PID value to fix assertion failure problem

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

 # perf data convert --to-ctf=./ctf-data/
 File perf.data not owned by current user or root (use -f to override)
 # perf data convert --to-ctf=./ctf-data/ -f
   Error: unknown switch `f'

     -v, --verbose         be more verbose
     -i, --input <file>    input file name

Masami Hiramatsu [Thu, 2 Apr 2015 07:33:12 +0000 (16:33 +0900)]
perf probe: Fix to track down unnamed union/structure members

Fix 'perf probe' to track down unnamed union/structure members.

perf probe did not track down the tree of unnamed union/structure
members, since it just failed to find given "name" in a parent
structure/union.  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).

With this patch, perf probe can access unnamed fields:
  -----
  #./perf probe -nfx ./perf lock__delete ops 'locked_ops=ops->locked.ops'
  Added new event:
    probe_perf:lock__delete (on lock__delete in /home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux-3/tools/perf/perf with ops locked_ops=ops->locked.ops)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

          perf record -e probe_perf:lock__delete -aR sleep 1

9 years agoperf/x86/intel: Make the HT bug workaround conditional on HT enabled

perf/x86/intel: Make the HT bug workaround conditional on HT enabled

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.

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.)

9 years agoperf/x86/intel: Implement cross-HT corruption bug workaround
Maria Dimakopoulou [Mon, 17 Nov 2014 19:06:58 +0000 (20:06 +0100)]
perf/x86/intel: Implement cross-HT corruption bug workaround

This patch implements a software workaround for a HW erratum
on Intel SandyBridge, IvyBridge and Haswell processors
with Hyperthreading enabled. The errata are documented for
each processor in their respective specification update
documents:

  - SandyBridge: BJ122
  - IvyBridge: BV98
  - Haswell: HSD29

The bug causes silent counter corruption across hyperthreads only
when measuring certain memory events (0xd0, 0xd1, 0xd2, 0xd3).
Counters measuring those events may leak counts to the sibling
counter. For instance, counter 0, thread 0 measuring event 0xd0,
may leak to counter 0, thread 1, regardless of the event measured
there. The size of the leak is not predictible. It all depends on
the workload and the state of each sibling hyper-thread. The
corrupting events do undercount as a consequence of the leak. The
leak is compensated automatically only when the sibling counter measures
the exact same corrupting event AND the workload is on the two threads
is the same. Given, there is no way to guarantee this, a work-around
is necessary. Furthermore, there is a serious problem if the leaked count
is added to a low-occurrence event. In that case the corruption on
the low occurrence event can be very large, e.g., orders of magnitude.

There is no HW or FW workaround for this problem.

The bug is very easy to reproduce on a loaded system.
Here is an example on a Haswell client, where CPU0, CPU4
are siblings. We load the CPUs with a simple triad app
streaming large floating-point vector. We use 0x81d0
corrupting event (MEM_UOPS_RETIRED:ALL_LOADS) and
0x20cc (ROB_MISC_EVENTS:LBR_INSERTS). Given we are not
using the LBR, the 0x20cc event should be zero.

  $ taskset -c 0 triad &
  $ taskset -c 4 triad &
  $ perf stat -a -C 0 -e r81d0 sleep 100 &
  $ perf stat -a -C 4 -r20cc sleep 10
  Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
        139 277 291      r20cc
       10,000969126 seconds time elapsed

In this example, 0x81d0 and r20cc ar eusing sinling counters
on CPU0 and CPU4. 0x81d0 leaks into 0x20cc and corrupts it
from 0 to 139 millions occurrences.

This patch provides a software workaround to this problem by modifying the
way events are scheduled onto counters by the kernel. The patch forces
cross-thread mutual exclusion between counters in case a corrupting event
is measured by one of the hyper-threads. If thread 0, counter 0 is measuring
event 0xd0, then nothing can be measured on counter 0, thread 1. If no corrupting
event is measured on any hyper-thread, event scheduling proceeds as before.

The same example run with the workaround enabled, yield the correct answer:

  $ taskset -c 0 triad &
  $ taskset -c 4 triad &
  $ perf stat -a -C 0 -e r81d0 sleep 100 &
  $ perf stat -a -C 4 -r20cc sleep 10
  Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
        0 r20cc
       10,000969126 seconds time elapsed

The patch does provide correctness for all non-corrupting events. It does not
"repatriate" the leaked counts back to the leaking counter. This is planned
for a second patch series. This patch series makes this repatriation more
easy by guaranteeing the sibling counter is not measuring any useful event.

The patch introduces dynamic constraints for events. That means that events which
did not have constraints, i.e., could be measured on any counters, may now be
constrained to a subset of the counters depending on what is going on the sibling
thread. The algorithm is similar to a cache coherency protocol. We call it XSU
in reference to Exclusive, Shared, Unused, the 3 possible states of a PMU
counter.

As a consequence of the workaround, users may see an increased amount of event
multiplexing, even in situtations where there are fewer events than counters
measured on a CPU.

Patch has been tested on all three impacted processors. Note that when
HT is off, there is no corruption. However, the workaround is still enabled,
yet not costing too much. Adding a dynamic detection of HT on turned out to
be complex are requiring too much to code to be justified.

This patch addresses the issue when PEBS is not used. A subsequent patch
fixes the problem when PEBS is used.
