The function graph tracer is currently the most invasive tracer
in the ftrace family. It can easily overflow the buffer even with
10megs per CPU. This means that events can often be lost.
On start up, or after events are lost, if the function return is
recorded but the function enter was lost, all we get to see is the
exiting '}'.
Here is how a typical trace output starts:
[tracing] cat trace
# tracer: function_graph
#
# CPU DURATION FUNCTION CALLS
# | | | | | | |
0) + 91.897 us | }
0) ! 567.961 us | }
0) <========== |
0) ! 579.083 us | _raw_spin_lock_irqsave();
0) 4.694 us | _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore();
0) ! 594.862 us | }
0) ! 603.361 us | }
0) ! 613.574 us | }
0) ! 623.554 us | }
0) 3.653 us | fget_light();
0) | sock_poll() {
There are a series of '}' with no matching "func() {". There's no information
to what functions these ending brackets belong to.
This patch adds a stack on the per cpu structure used in outputting
the function graph tracer to keep track of what function was outputted.
Then on a function exit event, it checks the depth to see if the
function exit has a matching entry event. If it does, then it only
prints the '}', otherwise it adds the function name after the '}'.
This allows function exit events to show what function they belong to
at trace output startup, when the entry was lost due to ring buffer
overflow, or even after a new task is scheduled in.
Here is what the above trace will look like after this patch:
[tracing] cat trace
# tracer: function_graph
#
# CPU DURATION FUNCTION CALLS
# | | | | | | |
0) + 91.897 us | } (irq_exit)

The hibernate memory preallocation code allocates memory to push some
user space data out of physical RAM, so that the hibernation image is
not too large. It allocates more memory than necessary for creating
the image, so it has to release some pages to make room for
allocations made while suspending devices and disabling nonboot CPUs,
or the system will hang due to the lack of free pages to allocate
from. Unfortunately, the function used for freeing these pages,
free_unnecessary_pages(), contains a bug that prevents it from doing
the job on all systems without highmem.
Fix this problem, which is a regression from the 2.6.30 kernel, by
using the right condition for the termination of the loop in
free_unnecessary_pages().

On platforms like dual socket quad-core platform, the scheduler load
balancer is not detecting the load imbalances in certain scenarios. This
is leading to scenarios like where one socket is completely busy (with
all the 4 cores running with 4 tasks) and leaving another socket
completely idle. This causes performance issues as those 4 tasks share
the memory controller, last-level cache bandwidth etc. Also we won't be
taking advantage of turbo-mode as much as we would like, etc.
Some of the comparisons in the scheduler load balancing code are
comparing the "weighted cpu load that is scaled wrt sched_group's
cpu_power" with the "weighted average load per task that is not scaled
wrt sched_group's cpu_power". While this has probably been broken for a
longer time (for multi socket numa nodes etc), the problem got aggrevated
via this recent change:

|
Also with this change, the sched group cpu power alone no longer reflects
the group capacity that is needed to implement MC, MT performance
(default) and power-savings (user-selectable) policies.
We need to use the computed group capacity (sgs.group_capacity, that is
computed using the SD_PREFER_SIBLING logic in update_sd_lb_stats()) to
find out if the group with the max load is above its capacity and how
much load to move etc.

This patch adds correct AMD NorthBridge event scheduling.
NB events are events measuring L3 cache, Hypertransport traffic. They are
identified by an event code >= 0xe0. They measure events on the
Northbride which is shared by all cores on a package. NB events are
counted on a shared set of counters. When a NB event is programmed in a
counter, the data actually comes from a shared counter. Thus, access to
those counters needs to be synchronized.
We implement the synchronization such that no two cores can be measuring
NB events using the same counters. Thus, we maintain a per-NB allocation
table. The available slot is propagated using the event_constraint
structure.

In certain situations, the kernel may need to stop and start the same
event rapidly. The current PMU callbacks do not distinguish between stop
and release (i.e., stop + free the resource). Thus, a counter may be
released, then it will be immediately re-acquired. Event scheduling will
again take place with no guarantee to assign the same counter. On some
processors, this may event yield to failure to assign the event back due
to competion between cores.
This patch is adding a new pair of callback to stop and restart a counter
without actually release the underlying counter resource. On stop, the
counter is stopped, its values saved and that's it. On start, the value
is reloaded and counter is restarted (on x86, actual restart is delayed
until perf_enable()).

Changes in v9:
- Fix a bug to optimize probe when enabling.
- Check nearby probes can be optimize/unoptimize when disarming/arming
kprobes, instead of registering/unregistering. This will help

GCC 4.5 introduces behavior that forces the alignment of structures to
use the largest possible value. The default value is 32 bytes, so if
some structures are defined with a 4-byte alignment and others aren't
declared with an alignment constraint at all - it will align at 32-bytes.
For things like the ftrace events, this results in a non-standard array.
When initializing the ftrace subsystem, we traverse the _ftrace_events
section and call the initialization callback for each event. When the
structures are misaligned, we could be treating another part of the
structure (or the zeroed out space between them) as a function pointer.
This patch forces the alignment for all the ftrace_event_call structures
to 4 bytes.
Without this patch, the kernel fails to boot very early when built with
gcc 4.5.
It's trivial to check the alignment of the members of the array, so it
might be worthwhile to add something to the build system to do that
automatically. Unfortunately, that only covers this case. I've asked one
of the gcc developers about adding a warning when this condition is seen.

Currently, rcu_needs_cpu() simply checks whether the current CPU
has an outstanding RCU callback, which means that the last CPU
to go into dyntick-idle mode might wait a few ticks for the
relevant grace periods to complete. However, if all the other
CPUs are in dyntick-idle mode, and if this CPU is in a quiescent
state (which it is for RCU-bh and RCU-sched any time that we are
considering going into dyntick-idle mode), then the grace period
is instantly complete.
This patch therefore repeatedly invokes the RCU grace-period
machinery in order to force any needed grace periods to complete
quickly. It does so a limited number of times in order to
prevent starvation by an RCU callback function that might pass
itself to call_rcu().
However, if any CPU other than the current one is not in
dyntick-idle mode, fall back to simply checking (with fix to bug
noted by Lai Jiangshan). Also, take advantage of last
grace-period forcing, the opportunity to do so noted by Steve
Rostedt. And apply simplified #ifdef condition suggested by
Frederic Weisbecker.

Inspection is proving insufficient to catch all RCU misuses,
which is understandable given that rcu_dereference() might be
protected by any of four different flavors of RCU (RCU, RCU-bh,
RCU-sched, and SRCU), and might also/instead be protected by any
of a number of locking primitives. It is therefore time to
enlist the aid of lockdep.
This set of patches is inspired by earlier work by Peter
Zijlstra and Thomas Gleixner, and takes the following approach:
o Set up separate lockdep classes for RCU, RCU-bh, and RCU-sched.
o Set up separate lockdep classes for each instance of SRCU.
o Create primitives that check for being in an RCU read-side
critical section. These return exact answers if lockdep is
fully enabled, but if unsure, report being in an RCU read-side
critical section. (We want to avoid false positives!)
The primitives are:
For RCU: rcu_read_lock_held(void)
For RCU-bh: rcu_read_lock_bh_held(void)
For RCU-sched: rcu_read_lock_sched_held(void)
For SRCU: srcu_read_lock_held(struct srcu_struct *sp)
o Add rcu_dereference_check(), which takes a second argument
in which one places a boolean expression based on the above
primitives and/or lockdep_is_held().
o A new kernel configuration parameter, CONFIG_PROVE_RCU, enables
rcu_dereference_check(). This depends on CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING,
and should be quite helpful during the transition period while
CONFIG_PROVE_RCU-unaware patches are in flight.
The existing rcu_dereference() primitive does no checking, but
upcoming patches will change that.
