2006-03-26[PATCH] x86: kprobes-boosterMasami Hiramatsu
Current kprobe copies the original instruction at the probe point and replaces it with a breakpoint instruction (int3). When the kernel hits the probe point, kprobe handler is invoked. And the copied instruction is single-step executed on the copied buffer (not on the original address) by kprobe. After that, the kprobe checks registers and modify it (if need) as if the instructions was executed on the original address. My proposal is based on the fact there are many instructions which do NOT require the register modification after the single-step execution. When the copied instruction is a kind of them, kprobe just jumps back to the next instruction after single-step execution. If so, why don't we execute those instructions directly? With kprobe-booster patch, kprobes will execute a copied instruction directly and (if need) jump back to original code. This direct execution is executed when the kprobe don't have both post_handler and break_handler, and the copied instruction can be executed directly. I sorted instructions which can be executed directly or not; - Call instructions are NG(can not be executed directly). We should correct the return address pushed into top of stack. - Indirect instructions except for absolute indirect-jumps are NG. Those instructions changes EIP randomly. We should check EIP and correct it. - Instructions that change EIP beyond the range of the instruction buffer are NG. - Instructions that change EIP to tail 5 bytes of the instruction buffer (it is the size of a jump instruction). We must write a jump instruction which backs to original kernel code in the instruction buffer. - Break point instruction is NG. We should not touch EIP and pass to other handlers. - Absolute direct/indirect jumps are OK.- Conditional Jumps are NG. - Halt and software-interruptions are NG. Because it will stay on the instruction buffer of kprobes. - Prefixes are NG. - Unknown/reserved opcode is NG. - Other 1 byte instructions are OK. But those instructions need a jump back code. - 2 bytes instructions are mapped sparsely. So, in this release, this patch don't boost those instructions. >From Intel's IA-32 opcode map described in IA-32 Intel Architecture Software Developer's Manual Vol.2 B, I determined that following opcodes are not boostable. - 0FH (2byte escape) - 70H - 7FH (Jump on condition) - 9AH (Call) and 9CH (Pushf) - C0H-C1H (Grp 2: includes reserved opcode) - C6H-C7H (Grp11: includes reserved opcode) - CCH-CEH (Software-interrupt) - D0H-D3H (Grp2: includes reserved opcode) - D6H (Reserved) - D8H-DFH (Coprocessor) - E0H-E3H (loop/conditional jump) - E8H (Call) - F0H-F3H (Prefixes and reserved) - F4H (Halt) - F6H-F7H (Grp3: includes reserved opcode) - FEH-FFH(Grp4,5: includes reserved opcode) Kprobe-booster checks whether target instruction can be boosted (can be executed directly) at arch_copy_kprobe() function. If the target instruction can be boosted, it clears "boostable" flag. If not, it sets "boostable" flag -1. This is disabled status. In resume_execution() function, If "boostable" flag is cleared, kprobe-booster measures the size of the target instruction and sets "boostable" flag 1. In kprobe_handler(), kprobe checks the "boostable" flag. If the flag is 1, it resets current kprobe and executes instruction buffer directly instead of single stepping. When unregistering a boosted kprobe, it calls synchronize_sched() after "int3" is removed. So we can ensure followings after the synchronize_sched() called. - interrupt handlers are finished on all CPUs. - instruction buffer is not executed on all CPUs. And we can release the boosted kprobe safely. And also, on preemptible kernel, the booster is not enabled where the kernel preemption is enabled. So, there are no preempted threads on the instruction buffer. The description of kretprobe-booster: ==================================== In the normal operation, kretprobe make a target function return to trampoline code. And a kprobe (called trampoline_probe) have been inserted at the trampoline code. When the kernel hits this kprobe, it calls kretprobe's handler and it returns to original return address. Kretprobe-booster patch removes the trampoline_probe. It allows the trampoline code to call kretprobe's handler directly instead of invoking kprobe. And tranpoline code returns to original return address. This new trampoline code stores and restores registers, so the kretprobe handler is still able to access those registers. Current kprobe has about 1.3 usec/probe(*) overhead, and kprobe-booster patch reduces it to 0.6 usec/probe(*). Also current kretprobe has about 2.0 usec/probe(*) overhead. Kprobe-booster patch reduces it to 1.3 usec/probe(*), and the combination of both kprobe-booster patch and kretprobe-booster patch reduces it to 0.9 usec/probe(*). I expect the combination of both patches can reduce half of a probing overhead. Performance numbers strongly depend on the processor model. Andrew Morton wrote: > These preempt tricks look rather nasty. Can you please describe what the > problem is, precisely? And how this code avoids it? Perhaps we can find > something cleaner. The problem is how to remove the copied instructions of the kprobe *safely* on the preemptable kernel (CONFIG_PREEMPT=y). Kprobes basically executes the following actions; (1)int3 (2)preempt_disable() (3)kprobe_prehandler() (4)copied instructioin(single step) (5)kprobe_posthandler() (6)preempt_enable() (7)return to the original code During the execution of copied instruction, preemption is disabled (from step (2) to (6)). When unregistering the probes, Kprobe waits for RCU quiescent state by using synchronize_sched() after removing int3 instruction. Thus we can ensure the copied instruction is not executed. On the other hand, kprobe-booster executes the following actions; (1)int3 (2)preempt_disable() (3)kprobe_prehandler() (4)preempt_enable() <-- this one is added by my patch (5)copied instruction(direct execution) (6)jmp back to the original code The problem is that we have no way to prevent preemption on step (5) or (6). We cannot call preempt_disable() after step (6), because there are no rooms to do that. Thus, some other processes may be preempted at step(5) or (6) on preemptable kernel. And I couldn't find the easy way to ensure that other processes' stack do *not* have the address of them. (I thought some way to do that, but those are very costly.) So currently, I simply boost the kprobe only when the probe point is already preemption disabled. > Also, the patch adds a preempt_enable() but I don't see a corresponding > preempt_disable(). Am I missing something? It is corresponding to the preempt_disable() in the top of kprobe_handler(). I copied the code of kprobe_handler() here: static int __kprobes kprobe_handler(struct pt_regs *regs) { struct kprobe *p; int ret = 0; kprobe_opcode_t *addr = NULL; unsigned long *lp; struct kprobe_ctlblk *kcb; /* * We don't want to be preempted for the entire * duration of kprobe processing */ preempt_disable(); <-- HERE kcb = get_kprobe_ctlblk(); Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu <hiramatu@sdl.hitachi.co.jp> Cc: Prasanna S Panchamukhi <prasanna@in.ibm.com> Cc: Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli <ananth@in.ibm.com> Cc: Anil S Keshavamurthy <anil.s.keshavamurthy@intel.com> Cc: David S.

Change ext3_try_to_allocate() (called via ext3_new_blocks()) to try to allocate the requested number of blocks on a best effort basis: After allocated the first block, it will always attempt to allocate the next few(up to the requested size and not beyond the reservation window) adjacent blocks at the same time.

2006-03-26[PATCH] ext3_get_blocks: Mapping multiple blocks at a onceMingming Cao
Currently ext3_get_block() only maps or allocates one block at a time. This is quite inefficient for sequential IO workload. I have posted a early implements a simply multiple block map and allocation with current ext3. The basic idea is allocating the 1st block in the existing way, and attempting to allocate the next adjacent blocks on a best effort basis. More description about the implementation could be found here: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=ext2-devel&m=112162230003522&w=2 The following the latest version of the patch: break the original patch into 5 patches, re-worked some logicals, and fixed some bugs. The break ups are: [patch 1] Adding map multiple blocks at a time in ext3_get_blocks() [patch 2] Extend ext3_get_blocks() to support multiple block allocation [patch 3] Implement multiple block allocation in ext3-try-to-allocate (called via ext3_new_block()). [patch 4] Proper accounting updates in ext3_new_blocks() [patch 5] Adjust reservation window size properly (by the given number of blocks to allocate) before block allocation to increase the possibility of allocating multiple blocks in a single call. Tests done so far includes fsx,tiobench and dbench. The following numbers collected from Direct IO tests (1G file creation/read) shows the system time have been greatly reduced (more than 50% on my 8 cpu system) with the patches. 1G file DIO write: 2.6.15 2.6.15+patches real 0m31.275s 0m31.161s user 0m0.000s 0m0.000s sys 0m3.384s 0m0.564s 1G file DIO read: 2.6.15 2.6.15+patches real 0m30.733s 0m30.624s user 0m0.000s 0m0.004s sys 0m0.748s 0m0.380s Some previous test we did on buffered IO with using multiple blocks allocation and delayed allocation shows noticeable improvement on throughput and system time. This patch: Add support of mapping multiple blocks in one call. This is useful for DIO reads and re-writes (where blocks are already allocated), also is in line with Christoph's proposal of using getblocks() in mpage_readpage() or mpage_readpages().

2006-03-26[PATCH] 2TB files: change type of kstatfs entriesTakashi Sato
This fix was proposed by Trond Myklebust. He says: The type "sector_t" is heavily tied in to the block layer interface as an offset/handle to a block, and is subject to a supposedly block-specific configuration option: CONFIG_LBD. Despite this, it is used in struct kstatfs to save a couple of bytes on the stack whenever we call the filesystems' ->statfs(). So kstatfs's entries related to blocks are invalid on statfs64 for a network filesystem which has more than 2^32-1 blocks when CONFIG_LBD is disabled. - struct kstatfs Change the type of following entries from sector_t to u64. f_blocks f_bfree f_bavail f_files f_ffree Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com> Signed-off-by: Takashi Sato <sho@tnes.nec.co.jp> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-03-26[PATCH] 2TB files: add blkcnt_tTakashi Sato
Add blkcnt_t as the type of inode.i_blocks. This enables you to make the size of blkcnt_t either 4 bytes or 8 bytes on 32 bits architecture with CONFIG_LSF. - CONFIG_LSF Add new configuration parameter. - blkcnt_t On h8300, i386, mips, powerpc, s390 and sh that define sector_t, blkcnt_t is defined as u64 if CONFIG_LSF is enabled; otherwise it is defined as unsigned long. On other architectures, it is defined as unsigned long. - inode.i_blocks Change the type from sector_t to blkcnt_t.

2006-03-26[PATCH] 2TB files: st_blocks is invalid when calling stat64Takashi Sato
This patch series fixes the following problems on 32 bits architecture. o stat64 returns the lower 32 bits of blocks, although userland st_blocks has 64 bits, because i_blocks has only 32 bits. The ioctl with FIOQSIZE has the same problem. o As Dave Kleikamp said, making >2TB file on JFS results in writing an invalid block number to disk inode. The cause is the same as above too. o In generic quota code dquot_transfer(), the file usage is calculated from i_blocks via inode_get_bytes(). If the file is over 2TB, the change of usage is less than expected. The cause is the same as above too. o As Trond Myklebust said, statfs64's entries related to blocks are invalid on statfs64 for a network filesystem which has more than 2^32-1 blocks with CONFIG_LBD disabled. [PATCH 3/3] We made patches to fix problems that occur when handling a large filesystem and a large file. It was discussed on the mails titled "stat64 for over 2TB file returned invalid st_blocks".
