14 years agoperf probe: Add lazy line matching support
Masami Hiramatsu [Thu, 25 Feb 2010 13:36:12 +0000 (08:36 -0500)]
perf probe: Add lazy line matching support

Add lazy line matching support for specifying new probes.
This also changes the syntax of perf probe a bit. Now
perf probe accepts one of below probe event definitions.

1) Define event based on function name
 [EVENT=]FUNC[@SRC][:RLN|+OFF|%return|;PTN] [ARG ...]

2) Define event based on source file with line number
 [EVENT=]SRC:ALN [ARG ...]

3) Define event based on source file with lazy pattern
 [EVENT=]SRC;PTN [ARG ...]

- New lazy matching pattern(PTN) follows ';' (semicolon). And it
  must be put the end of the definition.
- So, @SRC is no longer the part which must be put at the end
  of the definition.

Note that ';' (semicolon) can be interpreted as the end of
a command by the shell. This means that you need to quote it.
(anyway you will need to quote the lazy pattern itself too,
because it may contains other sensitive characters, like
'[',']' etc.).

Lazy matching
-------------
The lazy line matching is similar to glob matching except
ignoring spaces in both of pattern and target.

e.g.
'a=*' can matches 'a=b', 'a = b', 'a == b' and so on.

This provides some sort of flexibility and robustness to
probe point definitions against minor code changes.
(for example, actual 10th line of schedule() can be changed
 easily by modifying schedule(), but the same line matching
 'rq=cpu_rq*' may still exist.)

Changes in v3:
 - Cast Dwarf_Addr to uintmax_t for printf-formats.

Changes in v2:
 - Cast Dwarf_Addr to unsigned long long for printf-formats.

kprobes/x86: Support kprobes jump optimization on x86

Introduce x86 arch-specific optimization code, which supports
both of x86-32 and x86-64.

This code also supports safety checking, which decodes whole of
a function in which probe is inserted, and checks following
conditions before optimization:
 - The optimized instructions which will be replaced by a jump instruction
   don't straddle the function boundary.
 - There is no indirect jump instruction, because it will jumps into
   the address range which is replaced by jump operand.
 - There is no jump/loop instruction which jumps into the address range
   which is replaced by jump operand.
 - Don't optimize kprobes if it is in functions into which fixup code will
   jumps.

This uses text_poke_multibyte() which doesn't support modifying
code on NMI/MCE handler. However, since kprobes itself doesn't
support NMI/MCE code probing, it's not a problem.

Changes in v9:
 - Use *_text_reserved() for checking the probe can be optimized.
 - Verify jump address range is in 2G range when preparing slot.
 - Backup original code when switching optimized buffer, instead of
   preparing buffer, because there can be int3 of other probes in
   preparing phase.
 - Check kprobe is disabled in arch_check_optimized_kprobe().
 - Strictly check indirect jump opcodes (ff /4, ff /5).

Changes in v6:
 - Split stop_machine-based jump patching code.
 - Update comments and coding style.

Changes in v5:
 - Introduce stop_machine-based jump replacing.

x86: Add text_poke_smp for SMP cross modifying code

This stop_machine() method is officially described at "7.1.3
Handling Self- and Cross-Modifying Code" on the intel's

Since stop_machine() can't protect code against NMI/MCE, this
function can not modify those handlers. And also, this function
is basically for modifying multibyte-single-instruction. For

kprobes: Introduce kprobes jump optimization

Introduce kprobes jump optimization arch-independent parts.
Kprobes uses breakpoint instruction for interrupting execution
flow, on some architectures, it can be replaced by a jump
instruction and interruption emulation code. This gains kprobs'
performance drastically.

To enable this feature, set CONFIG_OPTPROBES=y (default y if the
arch supports OPTPROBE).

Changes in v9:
 - Fix a bug to optimize probe when enabling.
 - Check nearby probes can be optimize/unoptimize when disarming/arming
   kprobes, instead of registering/unregistering. This will help
   kprobe-tracer because most of probes on it are usually disabled.

Changes in v6:
 - Cleanup coding style for readability.
 - Add comments around get/put_online_cpus().

Changes in v5:
 - Use get_online_cpus()/put_online_cpus() for avoiding text_mutex
   deadlock.

asked too, but then the kernel maps (just one, for vmlinux)
wasn't having its ->end field correctly set up, so symbols were
not being found for the vmlinux map because its range was 0-0.

14 years agoperf top: Fix annotate for userspace
Kirill Smelkov [Sun, 7 Feb 2010 13:46:15 +0000 (11:46 -0200)]
perf top: Fix annotate for userspace

First, for programs and prelinked libraries, annotate code was
fooled by objdump output IPs (src->eip in the code) being
wrongly converted to absolute IPs. In such case there were no
conversion needed, but in

   src->eip = strtoull(src->line, NULL, 16);
   src->eip = map->unmap_ip(map, src->eip); // = eip + map->start - map->pgoff

we were reading absolute address from objdump (e.g. 8048604) and
then almost doubling it, because eip & map->start are
approximately close for small programs.

Needless to say, that later, in record_precise_ip() there was no
matching with real runtime IPs.

And second, like with `perf annotate` the problem with
non-prelinked *.so was that we were doing rip -> objdump address
conversion wrong.

Also, because unlike `perf annotate`, `perf top` code does
annotation based on absolute IPs for performance reasons(*), new
helper for mapping objdump addresse to IP is introduced.

(*) we get samples info in absolute IPs, and since we do lots of
    hit-testing on absolute IPs at runtime in record_precise_ip(), it's
    better to convert objdump addresses to IPs once and do no conversion
    at runtime.

I also had to fix how objdump output is parsed (with hardcoded
8/16 characters format, which was inappropriate for ET_DYN dsos
with small addresses like '4ac')

Also note, that not all objdump output lines has associtated
IPs, e.g. look at source lines here:

    000004ac <my_strlen>:
    extern "C"
    int my_strlen(const char *s)
     4ac:   55                      push   %ebp
     4ad:   89 e5                   mov    %esp,%ebp
     4af:   83 ec 10                sub    $0x10,%esp
    {
        int len = 0;
     4b2:   c7 45 fc 00 00 00 00    movl   $0x0,-0x4(%ebp)
     4b9:   eb 08                   jmp    4c3 <my_strlen+0x17>

        while (*s) {
            ++len;
     4bb:   83 45 fc 01             addl   $0x1,-0x4(%ebp)
            ++s;
     4bf:   83 45 08 01             addl   $0x1,0x8(%ebp)

So we mark them with eip=0, and ignore such lines in annotate
lookup code.

perf annotate: Fix it for non-prelinked *.so

The problem was we were incorrectly calculating objdump
addresses for sym->start and sym->end, look:

For simple ET_DYN type DSO (*.so) with one function, objdump -dS
output is something like this:

    000004ac <my_strlen>:
    int my_strlen(const char *s)
     4ac:   55                      push   %ebp
     4ad:   89 e5                   mov    %esp,%ebp
     4af:   83 ec 10                sub    $0x10,%esp
    {

i.e. we have relative-to-dso-mapping IPs (=RIP) there.

For ET_EXEC type and probably for prelinked libs as well (sorry
can't test - I don't use prelink) objdump outputs absolute IPs,
e.g.

    08048604 <zz_strlen>:
    extern "C"

     8048607:       83 ec 10                sub    $0x10,%esp
    {

So, if sym->start is always relative to dso mapping(*), we'll
have to unmap it for ET_EXEC like cases, and leave as is for
ET_DYN cases.

(*) and it is - we've explicitely made it relative. Look for
    adjust_symbols handling in dso__load_sym()

Previously we were always unmapping sym->start and for ET_DYN
dsos resulting addresses were wrong, and so objdump output was
empty.

The end result was that perf annotate output for symbols from
non-prelinked *.so had always 0.00% percents only, which is
wrong.

To fix it, let's introduce a helper for converting rip to
objdump address, and also let's document what map_ip() and
unmap_ip() do -- I had to study sources for several hours to
understand it.

perf_events, x86: Improve x86 event scheduling

This patch improves event scheduling by maximizing the use of PMU
registers regardless of the order in which events are created in a group.

The algorithm takes into account the list of counter constraints for each
event. It assigns events to counters from the most constrained, i.e.,
works on only one counter, to the least constrained, i.e., works on any
counter.

Intel Fixed counter events and the BTS special event are also handled via
this algorithm which is designed to be fairly generic.

The patch also updates the validation of an event to use the scheduling
algorithm. This will cause early failure in perf_event_open().

The 2nd version of this patch follows the model used by PPC, by running
the scheduling algorithm and the actual assignment separately. Actual
assignment takes place in hw_perf_enable() whereas scheduling is
implemented in hw_perf_group_sched_in() and x86_pmu_enable().

Right now x86 and sh check that current is not NULL, which should never
happen so remove that too.

Idle task's exclusion must be performed from the core code, on top
