Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events!
In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its
initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is
becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging,
monitoring, analysis facility.
Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem
'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending
code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and
less appropriate.
All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance
events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables
and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion)
The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes
it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well.
Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and
suggested a rename.
User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch
should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to
keep the size down.)
This patch has been generated via the following script:
FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')
sed -i \
-e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \
-e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \
-e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \
-e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \
-e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \
-e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \
$FILES
for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do
M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g')
mv $N $M
done
FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*)
sed -i \
-e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \
-e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \
-e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \
-e 's/counter/event/g' \
-e 's/Counter/Event/g' \
$FILES
... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be
used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts
a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this
change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches
is the smallest: the end of the merge window.
Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some
stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch.
( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal
with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit
over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but
in case there's something left where 'counter' would be
better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis
instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. )

This is in preparation of the big rename, but also makes sense
in a standalone way: 'list_entry' is a bad name as we already
have a list_entry() in list.h.
Also, the 'counter list' is too vague, it doesnt tell us the
purpose of that list.
Clarify these names to show that it's all about the group
hiearchy.

Currently the trace event profile buffer is allocated in the stack. But
this may be too much for the stack, as the events can have large
statically defined field size and can also grow with dynamic arrays.
Allocate two per cpu buffer for all profiled events. The first cpu
buffer is used to host every non-nmi context traces. It is protected
by disabling the interrupts while writing and committing the trace.
The second buffer is reserved for nmi. So that there is no race between
them and the first buffer.
The whole write/commit section is rcu protected because we release
these buffers while deactivating the last profiling trace event.
v2: Move the buffers from trace_event to be global, as pointed by
Steven Rostedt.
v3: Fix the syscall events to handle the profiling buffer races
by disabling interrupts, now that the buffers are globals.

The earlier approach required two scheduling-clock ticks to note an
preemptable-RCU quiescent state in the situation in which the
scheduling-clock interrupt is unlucky enough to always interrupt an
RCU read-side critical section.
With this change, the quiescent state is instead noted by the
outermost rcu_read_unlock() immediately following the first
scheduling-clock tick, or, alternatively, by the first subsequent
context switch. Therefore, this change also speeds up grace
periods.

Without this patch, tasks preempted in RCU read-side critical
sections can fail to block the grace period, given that
rnp->gpnum is used to determine which rnp->blocked_tasks[]
element the preempted task is enqueued on.
Before the patch, rnp->gpnum is always zero, so preempted tasks
are always enqueued on rnp->blocked_tasks[0], which is correct
only when the current CPU has not checked into the current
grace period and the grace-period number is even, or,
similarly, if the current CPU -has- checked into the current

that when we do not select either buddy in pick_next_entity()
because they are too far ahead of the left-most task, we do not
clear the buddies.
This means that as soon as we service the left-most task, these
same buddies will be tried again on the next schedule. Now if the
left-most task was a pure hog, it wouldn't have done any wakeups
and it wouldn't have set buddies of its own. That leads to the old
buddies dominating, which would lead to bad latencies.

future) if he defines new kprobe event via perf-tools, then new
events will mess up the frace buffer. Fix this to allow proper

Add the high level memory handler that poisons pages
that got corrupted by hardware (typically by a two bit flip in a DIMM
or a cache) on the Linux level. The goal is to prevent everyone
from accessing these pages in the future.
This done at the VM level by marking a page hwpoisoned
and doing the appropriate action based on the type of page
it is.
The code that does this is portable and lives in mm/memory-failure.c
To quote the overview comment:
High level machine check handler. Handles pages reported by the
hardware as being corrupted usually due to a 2bit ECC memory or cache
failure.
This focuses on pages detected as corrupted in the background.
When the current CPU tries to consume corruption the currently
running process can just be killed directly instead. This implies
that if the error cannot be handled for some reason it's safe to
just ignore it because no corruption has been consumed yet. Instead
when that happens another machine check will happen.
Handles page cache pages in various states. The tricky part
here is that we can access any page asynchronous to other VM
users, because memory failures could happen anytime and anywhere,
possibly violating some of their assumptions. This is why this code
has to be extremely careful. Generally it tries to use normal locking
rules, as in get the standard locks, even if that means the
error handling takes potentially a long time.
Some of the operations here are somewhat inefficient and have non
linear algorithmic complexity, because the data structures have not
been optimized for this case. This is in particular the case
for the mapping from a vma to a process. Since this case is expected
to be rare we hope we can get away with this.
There are in principle two strategies to kill processes on poison:
- just unmap the data and wait for an actual reference before
killing
- kill as soon as corruption is detected.
Both have advantages and disadvantages and should be used
in different situations. Right now both are implemented and can
be switched with a new sysctl vm.memory_failure_early_kill
The default is early kill.
The patch does some rmap data structure walking on its own to collect
processes to kill. This is unusual because normally all rmap data structure
knowledge is in rmap.c only. I put it here for now to keep
everything together and rmap knowledge has been seeping out anyways

This allows processes to override their early/late kill
behaviour on hardware memory errors.
Typically applications which are memory error aware is
better of with early kill (see the error as soon
as possible), all others with late kill (only
see the error when the error is really impacting execution)
There's a global sysctl, but this way an application
can set its specific policy.
We're using two bits, one to signify that the process
stated its intention and that
I also made the prctl future proof by enforcing
the unused arguments are 0.
The state is inherited to children.
Note this makes us officially run out of process flags
on 32bit, but the next patch can easily add another field.
Manpage patch will be supplied separately.

Add back FAIR_SLEEPERS and GENTLE_FAIR_SLEEPERS.
FAIR_SLEEPERS is the old logic: credit sleepers with their sleep time.
GENTLE_FAIR_SLEEPERS dampens this a bit: 50% of their sleep time gets
credited.
The hope here is to still give the benefits of fair-sleepers logic
(quick wakeups, etc.) while not allow them to have 100% of their
sleep time as if they were running.

On NOHZ systems the following timers,
- tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick (tick_sched_timer)
- hrtimer_start (tick_sched_timer)
are reprogramming the clock events device far more often than needed.
No specific test case was required to observe this effect. This
occurres because there was no check to see if the currently removed or
restarted hrtimer was:
1) the one which previously armed the clock events device.
2) going to be replaced by another timer which has the same expiry time.
Avoid the reprogramming in hrtimer_force_reprogram when the new expiry
value which is evaluated from the clock bases is equal to
cpu_base->expires_next. This results in faster application startup
time by ~4%.

Peter pointed out that this is better done via newidle_idx,
not via LB_BIAS, newidle balancing should look for where
there is load _now_, not where there was load 2 ticks ago.
Worst-case latencies are improved as well as no buddies
means less vruntime spread. (as per prior lkml discussions)
This change improves kbuild-peak parallelism as well.

The problem with wake_idle() is that is doesn't respect things like
cpu_power, which means it doesn't deal well with SMT nor the recent
RT interaction.
To cure this, it needs to do what sched_balance_self() does, which
leads to the possibility of merging select_task_rq_fair() and
sched_balance_self().
Modify sched_balance_self() to:
- update_shares() when walking up the domain tree,
(it only called it for the top domain, but it should
have done this anyway), which allows us to remove
this ugly bit from try_to_wake_up().
- do wake_affine() on the smallest domain that contains
both this (the waking) and the prev (the wakee) cpu for
WAKE invocations.
Then use the top-down balance steps it had to replace wake_idle().
This leads to the dissapearance of SD_WAKE_BALANCE and
SD_WAKE_IDLE_FAR, with SD_WAKE_IDLE replaced with SD_BALANCE_WAKE.
SD_WAKE_AFFINE needs SD_BALANCE_WAKE to be effective.
Touch all topology bits to replace the old with new SD flags --
platforms might need re-tuning, enabling SD_BALANCE_WAKE
conditionally on a NUMA distance seems like a good additional
feature, magny-core and small nehalem systems would want this
enabled, systems with slow interconnects would not.

We're going to want to drop rq->lock in try_to_wake_up() for a
longer period of time, however we also want to deal with concurrent
waking of the same task, which is currently handled by holding
rq->lock.
So introduce a new TASK state, namely TASK_WAKING, which indicates
someone is already waking the task (other wakers will fail p->state
& state).

The down rating of clock sources in the early boot process via the

Use for_each_populated_zone() instead of for_each_zone() in hibernation
code. This fixes a bug on s390, where we allow both config options
HIBERNATION and MEMORY_HOTPLUG, so that we also have a ZONE_MOVABLE
here. We only allow hibernation if no memory hotplug operation was
performed, so in fact both features can only be used exclusively, but
this way we don't need 2 differently configured (distribution) kernels.
If we have an unpopulated ZONE_MOVABLE, we allow hibernation but run
into a BUG_ON() in memory_bm_test/set/clear_bit() because hibernation
code iterates through all zones, not only the populated zones, in
several places. For example, swsusp_free() does for_each_zone() and
then checks for pfn_valid(), which is true even if the zone is not
populated, resulting in a BUG_ON() later because the pfn cannot be
found in the memory bitmap.
Replacing all occurences of for_each_zone() in hibernation code with
for_each_populated_zone() would fix this issue.

We want to avoid attempting to free too much memory too hard during
hibernation, so estimate the minimum size of the image to use as the
lower limit for preallocating memory.
The approach here is based on the (experimental) observation that we
can't free more page frames than the sum of:
* global_page_state(NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE)
* global_page_state(NR_ACTIVE_ANON)
* global_page_state(NR_INACTIVE_ANON)
* global_page_state(NR_ACTIVE_FILE)
* global_page_state(NR_INACTIVE_FILE)
minus
* global_page_state(NR_FILE_MAPPED)
Namely, if this number is subtracted from the number of saveable
pages in the system, we get a good estimate of the minimum reasonable
size of a hibernation image.

Since the hibernation code is now going to use allocations of memory
to make enough room for the image, it can also use the page frames
allocated at this stage as image page frames. The low-level
hibernation code needs to be rearranged for this purpose, but it
allows us to avoid freeing a great number of pages and allocating
these same pages once again later, so it generally is worth doing.

Rework swsusp_shrink_memory() so that it calls shrink_all_memory()
just once to make some room for the image and then allocates memory
to apply more pressure to the memory management subsystem, if
necessary.
Unfortunately, we don't seem to be able to drop shrink_all_memory()
entirely just yet, because that would lead to huge performance

grep "Testing event" dmesg.31git |wc -l

This is due to the testing of every syscall event when ftrace self
test is enabled. This adds a bit more time to kernel boot up and can
affect development by slowing down the time it takes between reboots.
This option makes the testing of the syscall events into a separate
config, to still be able to test most of ftrace internals at boot up
but not have to wait for all the syscall events to be tested.
The syscall event testing only tests the enabling and disabling of
the trace point, since the syscalls are not executed. What really needs
to be done is to somehow have a userspace tool test the syscall tracepoints
as well.

(__typeof__(*(ptr))) __cmpxchg((ptr), (unsigned long)_o_, \

This does a type check of *ptr to both o and n.
Unfortunately, the code in ring-buffer.c assigns longs to pointers
and pointers to longs and causes a warning on PowerPC:

The entries used by ftrace internal code (plugins) currently have their
formats manually exported to userspace. That is, the format files in
debugfs/tracing/events/ftrace/*/format are currently created by hand.
This is a maintenance nightmare, and can easily become out of sync
with what is actually shown.
This patch uses the methodology of the TRACE_EVENT macros to build
the structures so that their formats can be automated and this
will keep the structures in sync with what users can see.
This patch only changes the way the structures are created. Further

This borrows some code from NAPI and implements a polled completion
mode for block devices. The idea is the same as NAPI - instead of
doing the command completion when the irq occurs, schedule a dedicated
softirq in the hopes that we will complete more IO when the iopoll
handler is invoked. Devices have a budget of commands assigned, and will
stay in polled mode as long as they continue to consume their budget
from the iopoll softirq handler. If they do not, the device is set back
to interrupt completion mode.
This patch holds the core bits for blk-iopoll, device driver support
sold separately.

This allows user to assign unique name to each argument. For example,

This assigns dfd, filename, flags, and mode to 1st - 4th arguments
respectively. Trace buffer shows those names too.

Nikos Chantziaras and Jens Axboe reported that turning off
NEW_FAIR_SLEEPERS improves desktop interactivity visibly.
Nikos described his experiences the following way:
" With this setting, I can do "nice -n 19 make -j20" and
still have a very smooth desktop and watch a movie at
the same time. Various other annoyances (like the
"logout/shutdown/restart" dialog of KDE not appearing
at all until the background fade-out effect has finished)
are also gone. So this seems to be the single most
important setting that vastly improves desktop behavior,
at least here. "
Jens described it the following way, referring to a 10-seconds
xmodmap scheduling delay he was trying to debug:
" Then I tried switching NO_NEW_FAIR_SLEEPERS on, and then
I get:
Performance counter stats for 'xmodmap .xmodmap-carl':

1 CPU-migrations # 0.000 M/sec
315 page-faults # 0.035 M/sec

Woot! "
So disable it for now. In perf trace output i can see weird
delta timestamps:

That nsec field is not supposed to be that large. More digging
is needed - but lets turn it off while the real bug is found.

The wakeup tracer, when enabled, has its own function tracer.
It only traces the functions on the CPU where the task it is following
is on. If a task is woken on one CPU but then migrates to another CPU
before it wakes up, the latency tracer will then start tracing functions
on the other CPU.
To find which CPU the task is on, the wakeup function tracer performs
a task_cpu(wakeup_task). But to make sure the task does not disappear
it grabs the wakeup_lock, which is also taken when the task wakes up.
By taking this lock, the function tracer does not need to worry about
the task being freed as it checks its cpu.
Jan Blunck found a problem with this approach on his 32 CPU box. When
a task is being traced by the wakeup tracer, all functions take this
lock. That means that on all 32 CPUs, each function call is taking
this one lock to see if the task is on that CPU. This lock has just
serialized all functions on all 32 CPUs. Needless to say, this caused
major issues on that box. It would even lockup.
This patch changes the wakeup latency to insert a probe on the migrate task
tracepoint. When a task changes its CPU that it will run on, the
probe will take note. Now the wakeup function tracer no longer needs
to take the lock. It only compares the current CPU with a variable that
holds the current CPU the task is on. We don't worry about races since
it is OK to add or miss a function trace.

A fork/exec load is usually "pass the baton", so the child
should never be placed behind the parent. With START_DEBIT we
make room for the new task, but with child_runs_first, that
room comes out of the _parent's_ hide. There's nothing to say
that the parent wasn't ahead of min_vruntime at fork() time,
which means that the "baton carrier", who is essentially the
parent in drag, can gain time and increase scheduling latencies
for waiters.
With NEW_FAIR_SLEEPERS + START_DEBIT + child_runs_first
enabled, we essentially pass the sleeper fairness off to the
child, which is fine, but if we don't base placement on the
parent's updated vruntime, we can end up compounding latency
woes if the child itself then does fork/exec. The debit
incurred at fork doesn't hurt the parent who is then going to
sleep and maybe exit, but the child who acquires the error
harms all comers.
This improves latencies of make -j<n> kernel build workloads.

Currently the latency tracers reset the ring buffer. Unfortunately
if a commit is in process (due to a trace event), this can corrupt
the ring buffer. When this happens, the ring buffer will detect
the corruption and then permanently disable the ring buffer.
The bug does not crash the system, but it does prevent further tracing

Instead of reseting the trace buffers, the timestamp of the start of
the trace is used instead. The buffers will still contain the previous
data, but the output will not count any data that is before the
timestamp of the trace.
Note, this only affects the static trace output (trace) and not the
runtime trace output (trace_pipe). The runtime trace output does not
make sense for the latency tracers anyway.

The predicates of an event and their filter structure are allocated
when we create an event filter for the first time.
These objects must be created once but each time we come with a new
filter, we overwrite such pre-existing allocation, if any.
Thus, this patch checks if the filter has already been allocated
before going ahead.

The function tracing_reset is deprecated for outside use of trace.c.
The new function to reset the the buffers is tracing_reset_online_cpus.
The reason for this is that resetting the buffers while the event
trace points are active can corrupt the buffers, because they may
be writing at the time of reset. The tracing_reset_online_cpus disables
writes and waits for current writers to finish.
This patch replaces all users of tracing_reset except for the latency
tracers. Those changes require more work and will be removed in the
following patches.

Resetting the ring buffers while traces are happening can corrupt
the ring buffer and disable it (no kernel crash to worry about).
The safest thing to do is disable the ring buffers, call synchronize_sched()

When reading the tracer from the trace file, updating the max latency

latency while reading the trace file.
Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
During development of the tracer, we would copy information from
the live tracer to the max tracer with one memcpy. Since then we
added a generic ring buffer and we handle the copies differently now.
Unfortunately, we never copied the critical section information, and
we lost the output:
# => started at: kmem_cache_alloc
# => ended at: kmem_cache_alloc
This patch adds back the critical start and end copying as well as
removes the unused "trace_idx" and "overrun" fields of the
trace_array_cpu structure.

Currently the way RB_WARN_ON works, is to disable either the current
CPU buffer or all CPU buffers, depending on whether a ring_buffer or
ring_buffer_per_cpu struct was passed into the macro.
Most users of the RB_WARN_ON pass in the CPU buffer, so only the one
CPU buffer gets disabled but the rest are still active. This may
confuse users even though a warning is sent to the console.
This patch changes the macro to disable the entire buffer even if
the CPU buffer is passed in.

The latency tracers report the number of items in the trace buffer.
This uses the ring buffer data to calculate this. Because discarded
events are also counted, the numbers do not match the number of items
that are printed. The ring buffer also adds a "padding" item to the
end of each buffer page which also gets counted as a discarded item.
This patch decrements the counter to the page entries on a discard.
This allows us to ignore discarded entries while reading the buffer.
Decrementing the counter is still safe since it can only happen while
the committing flag is still set.
Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
The function ring_buffer_event_discard can be used on any item in the
ring buffer, even after the item was committed. This function provides
no safety nets and is very race prone.
An item may be safely removed from the ring buffer before it is committed
with the ring_buffer_discard_commit.
Since there are currently no users of this function, and because this
function is racey and error prone, this patch removes it altogether.
Note, removing this function also allows the counters to ignore
all discarded events (patches will follow).

When the ring buffer uses an iterator (static read mode, not on the
fly reading), when it crosses a page boundery, it will skip the first
entry on the next page. The reason is that the last entry of a page
is usually padding if the page is not full. The padding will not be
returned to the user.
The problem arises on ring_buffer_read because it also increments the
iterator. Because both the read and peek use the same rb_iter_peek,
the rb_iter_peak will return the padding but also increment to the next
item. This is because the ring_buffer_peek will not incerment it
itself.
The ring_buffer_read will increment it again and then call rb_iter_peek
again to get the next item. But that will be the second item, not the
first one on the page.
The reason this never showed up before, is because the ftrace utility
always calls ring_buffer_peek first and only uses ring_buffer_read
to increment to the next item. The ring_buffer_peek will always keep
the pointer to a valid item and not padding. This just hid the bug.
Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
The loops in the ring buffer that use cpu_relax are not dependent on
other CPUs. They simply came across some padding in the ring buffer and
are skipping over them. It is a normal loop and does not require a
cpu_relax.

Add a keyctl to install a process's session keyring onto its parent. This
replaces the parent's session keyring. Because the COW credential code does
not permit one process to change another process's credentials directly, the
change is deferred until userspace next starts executing again. Normally this
will be after a wait*() syscall.
To support this, three new security hooks have been provided:
cred_alloc_blank() to allocate unset security creds, cred_transfer() to fill in
the blank security creds and key_session_to_parent() - which asks the LSM if
the process may replace its parent's session keyring.
The replacement may only happen if the process has the same ownership details
as its parent, and the process has LINK permission on the session keyring, and
the session keyring is owned by the process, and the LSM permits it.
Note that this requires alteration to each architecture's notify_resume path.
This has been done for all arches barring blackfin, m68k* and xtensa, all of
which need assembly alteration to support TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME. This allows the
replacement to be performed at the point the parent process resumes userspace
execution.
This allows the userspace AFS pioctl emulation to fully emulate newpag() and
the VIOCSETTOK and VIOCSETTOK2 pioctls, all of which require the ability to
alter the parent process's PAG membership. However, since kAFS doesn't use
PAGs per se, but rather dumps the keys into the session keyring, the session
keyring of the parent must be replaced if, for example, VIOCSETTOK is passed
the newpag flag.
This can be tested with the following program:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <keyutils.h>
#define KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT 18
#define OSERROR(X, S) do { if ((long)(X) == -1) { perror(S); exit(1); } } while(0)
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
key_serial_t keyring, key;
long ret;
keyring = keyctl_join_session_keyring(argv[1]);
OSERROR(keyring, "keyctl_join_session_keyring");
key = add_key("user", "a", "b", 1, keyring);
OSERROR(key, "add_key");
ret = keyctl(KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT);
OSERROR(ret, "KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT");
return 0;
}
Compiled and linked with -lkeyutils, you should see something like:
[dhowells@andromeda ~]$ keyctl show
Session Keyring
-3 --alswrv 4043 4043 keyring: _ses
355907932 --alswrv 4043 -1 \_ keyring: _uid.4043
[dhowells@andromeda ~]$ /tmp/newpag
[dhowells@andromeda ~]$ keyctl show

Session Keyring
-3 --alswrv 4043 4043 keyring: hello
340417692 --alswrv 4043 4043 \_ user: a
Where the test program creates a new session keyring, sticks a user key named
'a' into it and then installs it on its parent.

Add a config option (CONFIG_DEBUG_CREDENTIALS) to turn on some debug checking
for credential management. The additional code keeps track of the number of
pointers from task_structs to any given cred struct, and checks to see that
this number never exceeds the usage count of the cred struct (which includes
all references, not just those from task_structs).
Furthermore, if SELinux is enabled, the code also checks that the security
pointer in the cred struct is never seen to be invalid.
This attempts to catch the bug whereby inode_has_perm() faults in an nfsd
kernel thread on seeing cred->security be a NULL pointer (it appears that the
credential struct has been previously released):

Add tracepoints which cover the life cycle of a hrtimer. The
tracepoints are integrated with the already existing debug_object
debug points as far as possible.
[ tglx: Fixed comments, made output conistent, easier to read and
parse. Fixed output for 32bit archs which do not use the
scalar representation of ktime_t. Hand current time to
trace_hrtimer_expiry_entry instead of calling get_time()
inside of the trace assignment. ]

Since lockdep has introduced BFS to avoid recursion, statistics
for recursion does not make any sense now. So remove them.
