We are taking a wrong regs snapshot when a trace event triggers. Either we use get_irq_regs(), which gives us the interrupted registers if we are in an interrupt, or we use task_pt_regs() which gives us the state before we entered the kernel, assuming we are lucky enough to be no kernel thread, in which case task_pt_regs() returns the initial set of regs when the kernel thread was started. What we want is different. We need a hot snapshot of the regs, so that we can get the instruction pointer to record in the sample, the frame pointer for the callchain, and some other things. Let's use the new perf_fetch_caller_regs() for that. Comparison with perf record -e lock: -R -a -f -g Before: perf [kernel] [k] __do_softirq | --- __do_softirq | |--55.16%-- __open | --44.84%-- __write_nocancel After: perf [kernel] [k] perf_tp_event | --- perf_tp_event | |--41.07%-- lock_acquire | | | |--39.36%-- _raw_spin_lock | | | | | |--7.81%-- hrtimer_interrupt | | | smp_apic_timer_interrupt | | | apic_timer_interrupt The old case was producing unreliable callchains. Now having right frame and instruction pointers, we have the trace we want. Also syscalls and kprobe events already have the right regs, let's use them instead of wasting a retrieval. v2: Follow the rename perf_save_regs() -> perf_fetch_caller_regs() Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: H.

Events that trigger overflows by interrupting a context can use get_irq_regs() or task_pt_regs() to retrieve the state when the event triggered. But this is not the case for some other class of events like trace events as tracepoints are executed in the same context than the code that triggered the event. It means we need a different api to capture the regs there, namely we need a hot snapshot to get the most important informations for perf: the instruction pointer to get the event origin, the frame pointer for the callchain, the code segment for user_mode() tests (we always use __KERNEL_CS as trace events always occur from the kernel) and the eflags for further purposes. v2: rename perf_save_regs to perf_fetch_caller_regs as per Masami's suggestion.

We were using the frame pointer based stack walker on every contexts in x86-32, but not in x86-64 where we only use the seven-league boots on the exception stacks. Use it also on irq and process stacks. This utterly accelerate the captures.

There are rcu locked read side areas in the path where we submit a trace event. And these rcu_read_(un)lock() trigger lock events, which create recursive events. One pair in do_perf_sw_event: __lock_acquire | |--96.11%-- lock_acquire | | | |--27.21%-- do_perf_sw_event | | perf_tp_event | | | | | |--49.62%-- ftrace_profile_lock_release | | | lock_release | | | | | | | |--33.85%-- _raw_spin_unlock Another pair in perf_output_begin/end: __lock_acquire |--23.40%-- perf_output_begin | | __perf_event_overflow | | perf_swevent_overflow | | perf_swevent_add | | perf_swevent_ctx_event | | do_perf_sw_event | | perf_tp_event | | | | | |--55.37%-- ftrace_profile_lock_acquire | | | lock_acquire | | | | | | | |--37.31%-- _raw_spin_lock The problem is not that much the trace recursion itself, as we have a recursion protection already (though it's always wasteful to recurse). But the trace events are outside the lockdep recursion protection, then each lockdep event triggers a lock trace, which will trigger two other lockdep events. Here the recursive lock trace event won't be taken because of the trace recursion, so the recursion stops there but lockdep will still analyse these new events: To sum up, for each lockdep events we have: lock_*() | trace lock_acquire | ----- rcu_read_lock() | | | lock_acquire() | | | trace_lock_acquire() (stopped) | | | lockdep analyze | ----- rcu_read_unlock() | lock_release | trace_lock_release() (stopped) | lockdep analyze And you can repeat the above two times as we have two rcu read side sections when we submit an event. This is fixed in this patch by moving the lock trace event under the lockdep recursion protection.

If -vv is used just the map table will be printed, -vvv will print the symbol table too, with it we can see that we have a bug where some samples are not being resolved to a map when we get them in the perf.data stream, but after we have it all processed, we can find the right map, some reordering probably is happening. Upcoming patches will provide ways to ask for most PERF_SAMPLE_ conditional samples to be taken for !PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE events too, then we'll be able to ask for PERF_SAMPLE_TIME and PERF_SAMPLE_CPU to help diagnose this.

Perf report does not handle multiple events being reported, even though perf record stores them properly on disk. This patch addresses that issue by adding the logic to perf report to use the event stream id that is saved by record and the new data structures to seperate the event streams and report them individually.

hw_perf_enable() would enable already enabled events. This causes problems with code that assumes that ->enable/->disable calls are balanced (like the LBR code does). What happens is that events that were already running and left in place would get enabled again. Avoid this by only enabling new events that match their previous assignment.

hw_perf_enable() would disable events that were not yet enabled. This causes problems with code that assumes that ->enable/->disable calls are balanced (like the LBR code does). What happens is that we disable newly added counters that match their previous assignment, even though they are not yet programmed on the hardware.

The smsgiucv_app driver registers a callback with the smsgiucv driver to receive z/VM CP special messages (SMSG) starting with "APP". When the callback is called for special messages, the driver creates an uevent for the received message. The uevent consists of additional environment data containing the message prefix ("APP"), message sender, and message content. udev rules can be used to trigger application specific actions through matching the content or sender of the special message.
