2010-01-21perf: Honour event state for aux stream dataPeter Zijlstra
Anton reported that perf record kept receiving events even after calling ioctl(PERF_EVENT_IOC_DISABLE). It turns out that FORK,COMM and MMAP events didn't respect the disabled state and kept flowing in.

2009-12-31perf: Fix NULL deref in inheritance codePeter Zijlstra
Liming found a NULL deref when a task has a perf context but no counters when it forks. This can occur in two cases, a race during construction where the fork hits after installing the context but before the first counter gets inserted, or more reproducably, a fork after the last counter is closed (which leaves the context around).

It seems a couple places such as arch/ia64/kernel/perfmon.c and drivers/infiniband/core/uverbs_main.c could use anon_inode_getfile() instead of a private pseudo-fs + alloc_file(), if only there were a way to get a read-only file.

2009-12-16perf events: Allow per-task-per-cpu countersPeter Zijlstra
In order to allow for per-task-per-cpu counters, useful for scalability when profiling task hierarchies, we allow installing events with event->cpu != -1 in task contexts. __perf_event_sched_in() already skips events where ->cpu mis-matches the current cpu, fix up __perf_install_in_context() and __perf_event_enable() to also respect this filter. This does lead to vary hard to interpret enabled/running times for such counters, but I don't see a simple solution for that.

2009-12-15perf_event: Fix incorrect range check on cpu numberPaul Mackerras
It is quite legitimate for CPUs to be numbered sparsely, meaning that it possible for an online CPU to have a number which is greater than the total count of possible CPUs. Currently find_get_context() has a sanity check on the cpu number where it checks it against num_possible_cpus(). This test can fail for a legitimate cpu number if the cpu_possible_mask is sparsely populated. This fixes the problem by checking the CPU number against nr_cpumask_bits instead, since that is the appropriate check to ensure that the cpu number is same to pass to cpu_isset() subsequently.

2009-12-09hw-breakpoints: Modify breakpoints without unregistering themFrederic Weisbecker
Currently, when ptrace needs to modify a breakpoint, like disabling it, changing its address, type or len, it calls modify_user_hw_breakpoint(). This latter will perform the heavy and racy task of unregistering the old breakpoint and registering a new one. This is racy as someone else might steal the reserved breakpoint slot under us, which is undesired as the breakpoint is only supposed to be modified, sometimes in the middle of a debugging workflow. We don't want our slot to be stolen in the middle. So instead of unregistering/registering the breakpoint, just disable it while we modify its breakpoint fields and re-enable it after if necessary.

2009-11-23perf_events: Restore sanity to scaling landPeter Zijlstra
It is quite possible to call update_event_times() on a context that isn't actually running and thereby confuse the thing. perf stat was reporting !100% scale values for software counters (2e2af50b perf_events: Disable events when we detach them, solved the worst of that, but there was still some left). The thing that happens is that because we are not self-reaping (we have a caring parent) there is a time between the last schedule (out) and having do_exit() called which will detach the events. This period would be accounted as enabled,!running because the event->state==INACTIVE, even though !event->ctx->is_active. Similar issues could have been observed by calling read() on a event while the attached task was not scheduled in. Solve this by teaching update_event_times() about ctx->is_active.

2009-11-23perf_events: Optimize the swcounter hotpathIngo Molnar
The structure init creates a bit memcpy, which shows up big time in perf annotate output: : ffffffff810a859d <__perf_sw_event>: 1.68 : ffffffff810a859d: 55 push %rbp 1.69 : ffffffff810a859e: 41 89 fa mov %edi,%r10d 0.01 : ffffffff810a85a1: 49 89 c9 mov %rcx,%r9 0.00 : ffffffff810a85a4: 31 c0 xor %eax,%eax 1.71 : ffffffff810a85a6: b9 16 00 00 00 mov $0x16,%ecx 0.00 : ffffffff810a85ab: 48 89 e5 mov %rsp,%rbp 0.00 : ffffffff810a85ae: 48 83 ec 60 sub $0x60,%rsp 1.52 : ffffffff810a85b2: 48 8d 7d a0 lea -0x60(%rbp),%rdi 85.20 : ffffffff810a85b6: f3 ab rep stos %eax,%es:(%rdi) None of the callees depends on the structure being pre-initialized, so only initialize ->addr.

2009-11-22perf_event: Remove redundant zero fillMárton Németh
The buffer is first zeroed out by memset(). Then strncpy() is used to fill the content. The strncpy() function also pads the string till the end of the specified length, which is redundant. The strncpy() does not ensures that the string will be properly closed with 0. Use strlcpy() instead. The semantic match that finds this kind of pattern is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @@ expression buffer; expression size; expression str; @@ memset(buffer, 0, size); ... - strncpy( + strlcpy( buffer, str, sizeof(buffer) ); @@ expression buffer; expression size; expression str; @@ memset(&buffer, 0, size); ... - strncpy( + strlcpy( &buffer, str, sizeof(buffer)); @@ expression buffer; identifier field; expression size; expression str; @@ memset(buffer, 0, size); ... - strncpy( + strlcpy( buffer->field, str, sizeof(buffer->field) ); @@ expression buffer; identifier field; expression size; expression str; @@ memset(&buffer, 0, size); ... - strncpy( + strlcpy( buffer.field, str, sizeof(buffer.field)); // </smpl> On strncpy() vs strlcpy() see http://www.gratisoft.us/todd/papers/strlcpy.html .

2009-11-22tracing: Use the perf recursion protection from trace eventFrederic Weisbecker
When we commit a trace to perf, we first check if we are recursing in the same buffer so that we don't mess-up the buffer with a recursing trace. But later on, we do the same check from perf to avoid commit recursion. The recursion check is desired early before we touch the buffer but we want to do this check only once. Then export the recursion protection from perf and use it from the trace events before submitting a trace. v2: Put appropriate Reported-by tag Reported-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@redhat.com> Cc: Jason Baron <jbaron@redhat.com> LKML-Reference: <1258864015-10579-1-git-send-email-fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2009-11-21perf_events: Fix default watermark calculationStephane Eranian
This patch fixes the default watermark value for the sampling buffer. With the existing calculation (watermark = max(PAGE_SIZE, max_size / 2)), no notification was ever received when the buffer was exactly 1 page. This was because you would never cross the threshold (there is no partial samples). In certain configuration, there was no possibilty detecting the problem because there was not enough space left to store the LOST record.In fact, there may be a more generic problem here. The kernel should ensure that there is alaways enough space to store one LOST record. This patch sets the default watermark to half the buffer size. With such limit, we are guaranteed to get a notification even with a single page buffer assuming no sample is bigger than a page.

Most sites updating ctx->time and event times do so under ctx->lock, make sure they all do. This was made possible by removing the __perf_event_read() call from __perf_event_sync_stat(), which already had this lock taken.

Remove an update_context_time() call from the perf_event_task_sched_out() path and into the branch its needed. The call was both superfluous, because __perf_event_sched_out() already does it, and wrong, because it was done without holding ctx->lock. Place it in perf_event_sync_stat(), which is the only place it is needed and which does already hold ctx->lock.

2009-11-21perf: Fix PERF_FORMAT_GROUP scale infoPeter Zijlstra
As Corey reported, the total_enabled and total_running times could occasionally be 0, even though there were events counted. It turns out this is because we record the times before reading the counter while the latter updates the times. This patch corrects that. While looking at this code I found that there is a lot of locking iffyness around, the following patches correct most of that.
