2012-03-05perf: Add generic taken branch sampling supportStephane Eranian
This patch adds the ability to sample taken branches to the perf_event interface. The ability to capture taken branches is very useful for all sorts of analysis. For instance, basic block profiling, call counts, statistical call graph. This new capability requires hardware assist and as such may not be available on all HW platforms. On Intel x86 it is implemented on top of the Last Branch Record (LBR) facility. To enable taken branches sampling, the PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK bit must be set in attr->sample_type. Sampled taken branches may be filtered by type and/or priv levels. The patch adds a new field, called branch_sample_type, to the perf_event_attr structure. It contains a bitmask of filters to apply to the sampled taken branches. Filters may be implemented in HW. If the HW filter does not exist or is not good enough, some arch may also implement a SW filter. The following generic filters are currently defined: - PERF_SAMPLE_USER only branches whose targets are at the user level - PERF_SAMPLE_KERNEL only branches whose targets are at the kernel level - PERF_SAMPLE_HV only branches whose targets are at the hypervisor level - PERF_SAMPLE_ANY any type of branches (subject to priv levels filters) - PERF_SAMPLE_ANY_CALL any call branches (may incl. syscall on some arch) - PERF_SAMPLE_ANY_RET any return branches (may incl. syscall returns on some arch) - PERF_SAMPLE_IND_CALL indirect call branches Obviously filter may be combined. The priv level bits are optional. If not provided, the priv level of the associated event are used. It is possible to collect branches at a priv level different from the associated event. Use of kernel, hv priv levels is subject to permissions and availability (hv). The number of taken branch records present in each sample may vary based on HW, the type of sampled branches, the executed code. Therefore each sample contains the number of taken branches it contains.

2012-02-28static keys: Inline the static_key_enabled() functionJason Baron
In the jump label enabled case, calling static_key_enabled() results in a function call. The function returns the results of a compare, so it really doesn't need the overhead of a full function call. Let's make it 'static inline' for both the jump label enabled and disabled cases.

If kzalloc() for TYPE_DATA failed on a given cpu, previous chunk of TYPE_INST will be leaked. Fix it. Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for suggesting this better solution.

2012-02-24epoll: introduce POLLFREE to flush ->signalfd_wqh before kfree()Oleg Nesterov
This patch is intentionally incomplete to simplify the review. It ignores ep_unregister_pollwait() which plays with the same wqh. See the next change. epoll assumes that the EPOLL_CTL_ADD'ed file controls everything f_op->poll() needs. In particular it assumes that the wait queue can't go away until eventpoll_release(). This is not true in case of signalfd, the task which does EPOLL_CTL_ADD uses its ->sighand which is not connected to the file. This patch adds the special event, POLLFREE, currently only for epoll. It expects that init_poll_funcptr()'ed hook should do the necessary cleanup. Perhaps it should be defined as EPOLLFREE in eventpoll. __cleanup_sighand() is changed to do wake_up_poll(POLLFREE) if ->signalfd_wqh is not empty, we add the new signalfd_cleanup() helper. ep_poll_callback(POLLFREE) simply does list_del_init(task_list). This make this poll entry inconsistent, but we don't care. If you share epoll fd which contains our sigfd with another process you should blame yourself. signalfd is "really special". I simply do not know how we can define the "right" semantics if it used with epoll. The main problem is, epoll calls signalfd_poll() once to establish the connection with the wait queue, after that signalfd_poll(NULL) returns the different/inconsistent results depending on who does EPOLL_CTL_MOD/signalfd_read/etc. IOW: apart from sigmask, signalfd has nothing to do with the file, it works with the current thread. In short: this patch is the hack which tries to fix the symptoms. It also assumes that nobody can take tasklist_lock under epoll locks, this seems to be true. Note: - we do not have wake_up_all_poll() but wake_up_poll() is fine, poll/epoll doesn't use WQ_FLAG_EXCLUSIVE. - signalfd_cleanup() uses POLLHUP along with POLLFREE, we need a couple of simple changes in eventpoll.c to make sure it can't be "lost".

2012-02-24static keys: Introduce 'struct static_key', static_key_true()/false() and ↵Ingo Molnar
static_key_slow_[inc|dec]() So here's a boot tested patch on top of Jason's series that does all the cleanups I talked about and turns jump labels into a more intuitive to use facility. It should also address the various misconceptions and confusions that surround jump labels. Typical usage scenarios: #include <linux/static_key.h> struct static_key key = STATIC_KEY_INIT_TRUE; if (static_key_false(&key)) do unlikely code else do likely code Or: if (static_key_true(&key)) do likely code else do unlikely code The static key is modified via: static_key_slow_inc(&key); ... static_key_slow_dec(&key); The 'slow' prefix makes it abundantly clear that this is an expensive operation. I've updated all in-kernel code to use this everywhere. Note that I (intentionally) have not pushed through the rename blindly through to the lowest levels: the actual jump-label patching arch facility should be named like that, so we want to decouple jump labels from the static-key facility a bit. On non-jump-label enabled architectures static keys default to likely()/unlikely() branches.

2012-02-22sched/events: Revert trace_sched_stat_sleeptime()Peter Zijlstra
Commit 1ac9bc69 ("sched/tracing: Add a new tracepoint for sleeptime") added a new sched:sched_stat_sleeptime tracepoint. It's broken: the first sample we get on a task might be bad because of a stale sleep_start value that wasn't reset at the last task switch because the tracepoint was not active. It also breaks the existing schedstat samples due to the side effects of: - se->statistics.sleep_start = 0; ... - se->statistics.block_start = 0; Nor do I see means to fix it without adding overhead to the scheduler fast path, which I'm not willing to for the sake of redundant instrumentation. Most importantly, sleep time information can already be constructed by tracing context switches and wakeups, and taking the timestamp difference between the schedule-out, the wakeup and the schedule-in.

2012-02-21ftrace, perf: Add filter support for function trace eventJiri Olsa
Adding support to filter function trace event via perf interface. It is now possible to use filter interface in the perf tool like: perf record -e ftrace:function --filter="(ip == mm_*)" ls The filter syntax is restricted to the the 'ip' field only, and following operators are accepted '==' '!=' '||', ending up with the filter strings like: ip == f1[, ]f2 ... || ip != f3[, ]f4 ... with comma ',' or space ' ' as a function separator. If the space ' ' is used as a separator, the right side of the assignment needs to be enclosed in double quotes '"', e.g.: perf record -e ftrace:function --filter '(ip == do_execve,sys_*,ext*)' ls perf record -e ftrace:function --filter '(ip == "do_execve,sys_*,ext*")' ls perf record -e ftrace:function --filter '(ip == "do_execve sys_* ext*")' ls The '==' operator adds trace filter with same effect as would be added via set_ftrace_filter file. The '!=' operator adds trace filter with same effect as would be added via set_ftrace_notrace file. The right side of the '!=', '==' operators is list of functions or regexp. to be added to filter separated by space. The '||' operator is used for connecting multiple filter definitions together. It is possible to have more than one '==' and '!=' operators within one filter string.

2012-02-21ftrace: Allow to specify filter field type for ftrace eventsJiri Olsa
Adding FILTER_TRACE_FN event field type for function tracepoint event, so it can be properly recognized within filtering code. Currently all fields of ftrace subsystem events share the common field type FILTER_OTHER. Since the function trace fields need special care within the filtering code we need to recognize it properly, hence adding the FILTER_TRACE_FN event type. Adding filter parameter to the FTRACE_ENTRY macro, to specify the filter field type for the event.

2012-02-21ftrace, perf: Add support to use function tracepoint in perfJiri Olsa
Adding perf registration support for the ftrace function event, so it is now possible to register it via perf interface. The perf_event struct statically contains ftrace_ops as a handle for function tracer. The function tracer is registered/unregistered in open/close actions. To be efficient, we enable/disable ftrace_ops each time the traced process is scheduled in/out (via TRACE_REG_PERF_(ADD|DELL) handlers). This way tracing is enabled only when the process is running. Intentionally using this way instead of the event's hw state PERF_HES_STOPPED, which would not disable the ftrace_ops. It is now possible to use function trace within perf commands like: perf record -e ftrace:function ls perf stat -e ftrace:function ls Allowed only for root.

2012-02-21ftrace: Add enable/disable ftrace_ops control interfaceJiri Olsa
Adding a way to temporarily enable/disable ftrace_ops. The change follows the same way as 'global' ftrace_ops are done. Introducing 2 global ftrace_ops - control_ops and ftrace_control_list which take over all ftrace_ops registered with FTRACE_OPS_FL_CONTROL flag. In addition new per cpu flag called 'disabled' is also added to ftrace_ops to provide the control information for each cpu. When ftrace_ops with FTRACE_OPS_FL_CONTROL is registered, it is set as disabled for all cpus. The ftrace_control_list contains all the registered 'control' ftrace_ops. The control_ops provides function which iterates ftrace_control_list and does the check for 'disabled' flag on current cpu. Adding 3 inline functions: ftrace_function_local_disable/ftrace_function_local_enable - enable/disable the ftrace_ops on current cpu ftrace_function_local_disabled - get disabled ftrace_ops::disabled value for current cpu Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1329317514-8131-2-git-send-email-jolsa@redhat.com Acked-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2012-02-21tracing: Don't use p->len field to determine output in __print_*() functionsSteven Rostedt
If more than one __print_*() function is used in a tracepoint (__print_flags(), __print_symbols(), etc), then the temp seq buffer will not be zero on entry. Using the temp seq buffer's length to know if data has been printed or not in the current function is incorrect and may produce incorrect results. Currently, no in-tree tracepoint causes this bug, but new ones may be created. Cc: Andrew Vagin <avagin@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2012-02-20tracing: Don't print an extra separator of flagsAndrey Vagin
If __print_flags() is used after another __print_*() function, the temp seq_file buffer will not be empty on entry, and the delimiter will be printed even though there's just one field. We get something like: |S instead of just: S This is because the length of the temp seq buffer is used to determine if the delimiter is printed or not. But this algorithm fails when the seq buffer is not empty on entry, and the delimiter will be printed because it thinks that a previous field was already printed.

2012-02-15genirq: Unmask oneshot irqs when thread was not wokenThomas Gleixner
When the primary handler of an interrupt which is marked IRQ_ONESHOT returns IRQ_HANDLED or IRQ_NONE, then the interrupt thread is not woken and the unmask logic of the interrupt line is never invoked. This keeps the interrupt masked forever. This was not noticed as most IRQ_ONESHOT users wake the thread unconditionally (usually because they cannot access the underlying device from hard interrupt context). Though this behaviour was nowhere documented and not necessarily intentional. Some drivers can avoid the thread wakeup in certain cases and run into the situation where the interrupt line s kept masked. Handle it gracefully.

2012-02-07perf: Fix double start/stop in x86_pmu_start()Stephane Eranian
The following patch fixes a bug introduced by the following commit: e050e3f0a71b ("perf: Fix broken interrupt rate throttling") The patch caused the following warning to pop up depending on the sampling frequency adjustments: ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: at arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perf_event.c:995 x86_pmu_start+0x79/0xd4() It was caused by the following call sequence: perf_adjust_freq_unthr_context.part() { stop() if (delta > 0) { perf_adjust_period() { if (period > 8*...) { stop() ... start() } } } start() } Which caused a double start and a double stop, thus triggering the assert in x86_pmu_start(). The patch fixes the problem by avoiding the double calls. We pass a new argument to perf_adjust_period() to indicate whether or not the event is already stopped. We can't just remove the start/stop from that function because it's called from __perf_event_overflow where the event needs to be reloaded via a stop/start back-toback call. The patch reintroduces the assertion in x86_pmu_start() which was removed by commit: 84f2b9b ("perf: Remove deprecated WARN_ON_ONCE()") In this second version, we've added calls to disable/enable PMU during unthrottling or frequency adjustment based on bug report of spurious NMI interrupts from Eric Dumazet.

2012-02-07block: strip out locking optimization in put_io_context()Tejun Heo
put_io_context() performed a complex trylock dancing to avoid deferring ioc release to workqueue. It was also broken on UP because trylock was always assumed to succeed which resulted in unbalanced preemption count. While there are ways to fix the UP breakage, even the most pathological microbench (forced ioc allocation and tight fork/exit loop) fails to show any appreciable performance benefit of the optimization. Strip it out. If there turns out to be workloads which are affected by this change, simpler optimization from the discussion thread can be applied later.

2012-02-04PM / Freezer: Thaw only kernel threads if freezing of kernel threads failsSrivatsa S. Bhat
If freezing of kernel threads fails, we are expected to automatically thaw tasks in the error recovery path. However, at times, we encounter situations in which we would like the automatic error recovery path to thaw only the kernel threads, because we want to be able to do some more cleanup before we thaw userspace. Something like: error = freeze_kernel_threads(); if (error) { /* Do some cleanup */ /* Only then thaw userspace tasks*/ thaw_processes(); } An example of such a situation is where we freeze/thaw filesystems during suspend/hibernation. There, if freezing of kernel threads fails, we would like to thaw the frozen filesystems before thawing the userspace tasks. So, modify freeze_kernel_threads() to thaw only kernel threads in case of freezing failure. And change suspend_freeze_processes() accordingly. (At the same time, let us also get rid of the rather cryptic usage of the conditional operator (:?) in that function.) [rjw: In fact, this patch fixes a regression introduced during the 3.3 merge window, because without it thaw_processes() may be called before swsusp_free() in some situations and that may lead to massive memory allocation failures.] Signed-off-by: Srivatsa S.

2012-02-03kprobes: fix a memory leak in function pre_handler_kretprobe()Jiang Liu
In function pre_handler_kretprobe(), the allocated kretprobe_instance object will get leaked if the entry_handler callback returns non-zero. This may cause all the preallocated kretprobe_instance objects exhausted. This issue can be reproduced by changing samples/kprobes/kretprobe_example.c to probe "mutex_unlock". And the fix is straightforward: just put the allocated kretprobe_instance object back onto the free_instances list.

The __raise_softirq_irqoff() contains a tracepoint. As tracepoints in headers can cause issues, and not to mention, bloats the kernel when they are in a static inline, it is best to move the function that contains the tracepoint out of the header and into softirq.c.

This fixes the race in process_vm_core found by Oleg (see http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1235667/ for details). This has been updated since I last sent it as the creation of the new mm_access() function did almost exactly the same thing as parts of the previous version of this patch did. In order to use mm_access() even when /proc isn't enabled, we move it to kernel/fork.c where other related process mm access functions already are.

2012-02-01PM / Hibernate: Thaw kernel threads in SNAPSHOT_CREATE_IMAGE ioctl pathSrivatsa S. Bhat
In the SNAPSHOT_CREATE_IMAGE ioctl, if the call to hibernation_snapshot() fails, the frozen tasks are not thawed. And in the case of success, if we happen to exit due to a successful freezer test, all tasks (including those of userspace) are thawed, whereas actually we should have thawed only the kernel threads at that point.

2012-01-29PM / Hibernate: Fix s2disk regression related to freezing workqueuesRafael J. Wysocki
Commit 2aede851ddf08666f68ffc17be446420e9d2a056 PM / Hibernate: Freeze kernel threads after preallocating memory introduced a mechanism by which kernel threads were frozen after the preallocation of hibernate image memory to avoid problems with frozen kernel threads not responding to memory freeing requests. However, it overlooked the s2disk code path in which the SNAPSHOT_CREATE_IMAGE ioctl was run directly after SNAPSHOT_FREE, which caused freeze_workqueues_begin() to BUG(), because it saw that worqueues had been already frozen. Although in principle this issue might be addressed by removing the relevant BUG_ON() from freeze_workqueues_begin(), that would reintroduce the very problem that commit 2aede851ddf08666f68ffc17be4 attempted to avoid into that particular code path. For this reason, to fix the issue at hand, introduce thaw_kernel_threads() and make the SNAPSHOT_FREE ioctl execute it. Special thanks to Srivatsa S. Bhat for detailed analysis of the problem.

2012-01-27sched/rt: Fix task stack corruption under __ARCH_WANT_INTERRUPTS_ON_CTXSWChanho Min
This issue happens under the following conditions: 1. preemption is off 2. __ARCH_WANT_INTERRUPTS_ON_CTXSW is defined 3. RT scheduling class 4. SMP system Sequence is as follows: 1.suppose current task is A. start schedule() 2.task A is enqueued pushable task at the entry of schedule() __schedule prev = rq->curr; ... put_prev_task put_prev_task_rt enqueue_pushable_task 4.pick the task B as next task. next = pick_next_task(rq); 3.rq->curr set to task B and context_switch is started. rq->curr = next; 4.At the entry of context_swtich, release this cpu's rq->lock. context_switch prepare_task_switch prepare_lock_switch raw_spin_unlock_irq(&rq->lock); 5.Shortly after rq->lock is released, interrupt is occurred and start IRQ context 6.try_to_wake_up() which called by ISR acquires rq->lock try_to_wake_up ttwu_remote rq = __task_rq_lock(p) ttwu_do_wakeup(rq, p, wake_flags); task_woken_rt 7.push_rt_task picks the task A which is enqueued before. task_woken_rt push_rt_tasks(rq) next_task = pick_next_pushable_task(rq) 8.At find_lock_lowest_rq(), If double_lock_balance() returns 0, lowest_rq can be the remote rq. (But,If preemption is on, double_lock_balance always return 1 and it does't happen.) push_rt_task find_lock_lowest_rq if (double_lock_balance(rq, lowest_rq)).. 9.find_lock_lowest_rq return the available rq. task A is migrated to the remote cpu/rq. push_rt_task ... deactivate_task(rq, next_task, 0); set_task_cpu(next_task, lowest_rq->cpu); activate_task(lowest_rq, next_task, 0); 10. But, task A is on irq context at this cpu. So, task A is scheduled by two cpus at the same time until restore from IRQ. Task A's stack is corrupted.
