perf, powerpc: Handle events that raise an exception without overflowing

Events on POWER7 can roll back if a speculative event doesn't
eventually complete. Unfortunately in some rare cases they will
raise a performance monitor exception. We need to catch this to
ensure we reset the PMC. In all cases the PMC will be 256 or less
cycles from overflow.

13 years agoVFS: Fix the nfs sillyrename regression in kernel 2.6.38

VFS: Fix the nfs sillyrename regression in kernel 2.6.38

The new vfs locking scheme introduced in 2.6.38 breaks NFS sillyrename
because the latter relies on being able to determine the parent
directory of the dentry in the ->iput() callback in order to send the
appropriate unlink rpc call.

Looking at the code that cares about races with dput(), there doesn't
seem to be anything that specifically uses d_parent as a test for
whether or not there is a race:
  - __d_lookup_rcu(), __d_lookup() all test for d_hashed() after d_parent
  - shrink_dcache_for_umount() is safe since nothing else can rearrange
    the dentries in that super block.
  - have_submount(), select_parent() and d_genocide() can test for a
    deletion if we set the DCACHE_DISCONNECTED flag when the dentry
    is removed from the parent's d_subdirs list.

Al Viro [Sun, 13 Mar 2011 07:51:11 +0000 (03:51 -0400)]
New kind of open files - "location only".

New flag for open(2) - O_PATH.  Semantics:
* pathname is resolved, but the file itself is _NOT_ opened
as far as filesystem is concerned.
* almost all operations on the resulting descriptors shall
fail with -EBADF.  Exceptions are:
1) operations on descriptors themselves (i.e.
close(), dup(), dup2(), dup3(), fcntl(fd, F_DUPFD),
fcntl(fd, F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC, ...), fcntl(fd, F_GETFD),
fcntl(fd, F_SETFD, ...))
2) fcntl(fd, F_GETFL), for a common non-destructive way to
check if descriptor is open
3) "dfd" arguments of ...at(2) syscalls, i.e. the starting
points of pathname resolution
* closing such descriptor does *NOT* affect dnotify or
posix locks.
* permissions are checked as usual along the way to file;
no permission checks are applied to the file itself.  Of course,
giving such thing to syscall will result in permission checks (at
the moment it means checking that starting point of ....at() is
a directory and caller has exec permissions on it).

fget() and fget_light() return NULL on such descriptors; use of
fget_raw() and fget_raw_light() is needed to get them.  That protects
existing code from dealing with those things.

There are two things still missing (they come in the next commits):
one is handling of symlinks (right now we refuse to open them that
way; see the next commit for semantics related to those) and another
is descriptor passing via SCM_RIGHTS datagrams.

    ARM: 6205/1: perf: ensure counter delta is treated as unsigned

    Hardware performance counters on ARM are 32-bits wide but atomic64_t
    variables are used to represent counter data in the hw_perf_event structure.

    The armpmu_event_update function right-shifts a signed 64-bit delta variable
    and adds the result to the event count. This can lead to shifting in sign-bits
    if the MSB of the 32-bit counter value is set. This results in perf output
    such as:

     Performance counter stats for 'sleep 20':

    This patch ensures that the delta value is treated as unsigned so that the
    right shift sets the upper bits to zero.

    perf: Generalize some arch callchain code

    - Most archs use one callchain buffer per cpu, except x86 that needs
      to deal with NMIs. Provide a default perf_callchain_buffer()
      implementation that x86 overrides.

    - Centralize all the kernel/user regs handling and invoke new arch
      handlers from there: perf_callchain_user() / perf_callchain_kernel()
      That avoid all the user_mode(), current->mm checks and so...

    - Invert some parameters in perf_callchain_*() helpers: entry to the
      left, regs to the right, following the traditional (dst, src).

MIPS, Perf-events: Fix event check in validate_event()

Ignore events that are in off/error state or belong to a different PMU.

This patch originates from the following commit for ARM by Will Deacon:

65b4711ff513767341aa1915c822de6ec0de65cb
    ARM: 6352/1: perf: fix event validation

    The validate_event function in the ARM perf events backend has the
    following problems:

    1.) Events that are disabled count towards the cost.
    2.) Events associated with other PMUs [for example, software events or
        breakpoints] do not count towards the cost, but do fail validation,
        causing the group to fail.

    This patch changes validate_event so that it ignores events in the
    PERF_EVENT_STATE_OFF state or that are scheduled for other PMUs.

a4eaf7f14675cb512d69f0c928055e73d0c6d252
    perf: Rework the PMU methods

    Replace pmu::{enable,disable,start,stop,unthrottle} with
    pmu::{add,del,start,stop}, all of which take a flags argument.

    The new interface extends the capability to stop a counter while
    keeping it scheduled on the PMU. We replace the throttled state with
    the generic stopped state.

    This also allows us to efficiently stop/start counters over certain
    code paths (like IRQ handlers).

    It also allows scheduling a counter without it starting, allowing for
    a generic frozen state (useful for rotating stopped counters).

    The stopped state is implemented in two different ways, depending on
    how the architecture implemented the throttled state:

     1) We disable the counter:
        a) the pmu has per-counter enable bits, we flip that
        b) we program a NOP event, preserving the counter state

     2) We store the counter state and ignore all read/overflow events

For MIPSXX, the stopped state is implemented in the way of 1.b as above.

e360adbe29241a0194e10e20595360dd7b98a2b3
    irq_work: Add generic hardirq context callbacks

    Provide a mechanism that allows running code in IRQ context. It is
    most useful for NMI code that needs to interact with the rest of the
    system -- like wakeup a task to drain buffers.

    Perf currently has such a mechanism, so extract that and provide it as
    a generic feature, independent of perf so that others may also
    benefit.

    The IRQ context callback is generated through self-IPIs where
    possible, or on architectures like powerpc the decrementer (the
    built-in timer facility) is set to generate an interrupt immediately.

    Architectures that don't have anything like this get to do with a
    callback from the timer tick. These architectures can call
    irq_work_run() at the tail of any IRQ handlers that might enqueue such
    work (like the perf IRQ handler) to avoid undue latencies in
    processing the work.

For MIPSXX, we need to call irq_work_run() at the tail of the perf IRQ
handler as described above.

For MIPS, the 2nd argument of prepare_ftrace_return() is not really the

But set_graph_function of function graph tracer is an exception, it does
need the 2nd argument of prepare_ftrace_return() as 'selfpc', for it
will use 'selfpc' to match user's configuration of function graph

the 2nd argument of prepare_ftrace_return() is not important, the real

MIPS, Tracing: Speed up function graph tracer

This simply moves the "ip-=4" statement down to the end of the do { ...

subsequent memory loading and comparison.

perf script: Support custom field selection for output

Allow a user to select which fields to print to stdout for event data.
Options include comm (command name), tid (thread id), pid (process id),
time (perf timestamp), cpu, event (for event name), and trace (for
trace data).

Default is set to maintain compatibility with current output; this
feature does alter output format slightly -- no '-' between command
and pid/tid.

Thanks to Frederic Weisbecker for detailed suggestions on this approach.

Examples (output compressed)

1. trace, default format

perf record -ga -e sched:sched_switch

2. trace, custom format
