      perf: Take a hot regs snapshot for trace events · c530665c
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      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.

      perf: Introduce new perf_fetch_caller_regs() for hot regs snapshot · 5331d7b8
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      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

      lockdep: Move lock events under lockdep recursion protection · db2c4c77
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      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

      Another pair in perf_output_begin/end:
      
      __lock_acquire
            |--23.40%-- perf_output_begin
            |          |          __perf_event_overflow

      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.

      perf report: Print the map table just after samples for which no map was found · 65f2ed2b
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      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

      structures to seperate the event streams and report them

      perf, x86: Properly account n_added · 356e1f2e
      Peter Zijlstra authored
      Make sure n_added is properly accounted so that we can rely on the value
      to reflect the number of added counters. This is needed if its going to
      be used for more than a boolean check.

      perf, x86: Avoid double disable on throttle vs ioctl(PERF_IOC_DISABLE) · 71e2d282
      Peter Zijlstra authored
      Calling ioctl(PERF_EVENT_IOC_DISABLE) on a thottled counter would result
      in a double disable, cure this by using x86_pmu_{start,stop} for
      throttle/unthrottle and teach x86_pmu_stop() to check ->active_mask.

      There is no concurrency on these variables, so don't use LOCK'ed ops.
      
      As to the intel_pmu_handle_irq() status bit clean, nobody uses that so
      remove it all together.

      Pass the full perf_event into the x86_pmu functions so that those may
      make use of more than the hw_perf_event, and while doing this, remove the
      superfluous second argument.

      Currently we always call hw_perf_disable(), even if its already disabled,
      this seems superflous, esp. since it cannot be made NMI safe (see further

      perf: Rework and fix the arch CPU-hotplug hooks · 3f6da390
      Peter Zijlstra authored
      Remove the hw_perf_event_*() hotplug hooks in favour of per PMU hotplug
      notifiers. This has the advantage of reducing the static weak interface
      as well as exposing all hotplug actions to the PMU.
      
      Use this to fix x86 hotplug usage where we did things in ONLINE which
      should have been done in UP_PREPARE or STARTING.

      perf: Provide generic perf_sample_data initialization · dc1d628a
      Peter Zijlstra authored
      This makes it easier to extend perf_sample_data and fixes a bug on arm
      and sparc, which failed to set ->raw to NULL, which can cause crashes
      when combined with PERF_SAMPLE_RAW.
      
      It also optimizes PowerPC and tracepoint, because the struct
      initialization is forced to zero out the whole structure.
