git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm
Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
- Replace pcommit with ADR / directed-flushing.
The pcommit instruction, which has not shipped on any product, is
deprecated. Instead, the requirement is that platforms implement
either ADR, or provide one or more flush addresses per nvdimm.
ADR (Asynchronous DRAM Refresh) flushes data in posted write buffers
to the memory controller on a power-fail event.
Flush addresses are defined in ACPI 6.x as an NVDIMM Firmware
Interface Table (NFIT) sub-structure: "Flush Hint Address Structure".
A flush hint is an mmio address that when written and fenced assures
that all previous posted writes targeting a given dimm have been
flushed to media.
- On-demand ARS (address range scrub).
Linux uses the results of the ACPI ARS commands to track bad blocks
in pmem devices. When latent errors are detected we re-scrub the
media to refresh the bad block list, userspace can also request a
re-scrub at any time.
- Support for the Microsoft DSM (device specific method) command
format.
- Support for EDK2/OVMF virtual disk device memory ranges.
- Various fixes and cleanups across the subsystem.

After the previous patch, we can distinguish costly allocations that
should be really lightweight, such as THP page faults, with
__GFP_NORETRY. This means we don't need to recognize khugepaged
allocations via PF_KTHREAD anymore. We can also change THP page faults
in areas where madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE) was used to try as hard as
khugepaged, as the process has indicated that it benefits from THP's and
is willing to pay some initial latency costs.
We can also make the flags handling less cryptic by distinguishing
GFP_TRANSHUGE_LIGHT (no reclaim at all, default mode in page fault) from
GFP_TRANSHUGE (only direct reclaim, khugepaged default). Adding
__GFP_NORETRY or __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM is done where needed.
The patch effectively changes the current GFP_TRANSHUGE users as
follows:
* get_huge_zero_page() - the zero page lifetime should be relatively
long and it's shared by multiple users, so it's worth spending some
effort on it. We use GFP_TRANSHUGE, and __GFP_NORETRY is not added.
This also restores direct reclaim to this allocation, which was
unintentionally removed by commit e4a49efe4e7e ("mm: thp: set THP defrag
by default to madvise and add a stall-free defrag option")
* alloc_hugepage_khugepaged_gfpmask() - this is khugepaged, so latency
is not an issue. So if khugepaged "defrag" is enabled (the default), do
reclaim via GFP_TRANSHUGE without __GFP_NORETRY. We can remove the
PF_KTHREAD check from page alloc.
As a side-effect, khugepaged will now no longer check if the initial
compaction was deferred or contended. This is OK, as khugepaged sleep
times between collapsion attempts are long enough to prevent noticeable
disruption, so we should allow it to spend some effort.
* migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page() - already was masking out
__GFP_RECLAIM, so just convert to GFP_TRANSHUGE_LIGHT which is
equivalent.
* alloc_hugepage_direct_gfpmask() - vma's with VM_HUGEPAGE (via madvise)
are now allocating without __GFP_NORETRY. Other vma's keep using
__GFP_NORETRY if direct reclaim/compaction is at all allowed (by default
it's allowed only for madvised vma's). The rest is conversion to
GFP_TRANSHUGE(_LIGHT).

At present, when creating module's map, perf gets 'start' address by
parsing '/proc/modules', but it's the module base address, it isn't the
start address of the '.text' section.
In most arches, it's OK. But for s390, it places 'GOT' and 'PLT'
relocations before '.text' section. So there exists an offset between
module base address and '.text' section, which will incur wrong symbol
resolution for modules.
Fix this bug by getting 'start' address of module's map from parsing
'/sys/module/[module name]/sections/.text', not from '/proc/modules'.

Not needed at all, tools/perf/util/perf_regs.h, included via:
#include "perf_regs.h"
Should have a definition for PERF_REGS_MAX, and since this is dependent
on HAVE_PERF_REGS_SUPPORT, fixes the build on powerpc, noticed by trying
to cross compile this from ubuntu16.04 with a locally build libz &
elfutils pair, since those are not available in multilib packages.

Add support for Intel's AVX-512 instructions to perf tools instruction
decoder used by Intel PT. The kernel's instruction decoder was updated in
a previous patch.
AVX-512 instructions are documented in Intel Architecture Instruction Set
Extensions Programming Reference (February 2016).
AVX-512 instructions are identified by a EVEX prefix which, for the purpose
of instruction decoding, can be treated as though it were a 4-byte VEX
prefix.
Existing instructions which can now accept an EVEX prefix need not be
further annotated in the op code map (x86-opcode-map.txt). In the case of
new instructions, the op code map is updated accordingly.
Also add associated Mask Instructions that are used to manipulate mask
registers used in AVX-512 instructions.
A representative set of instructions is added to the perf tools new
instructions test in a subsequent patch.

Warn unmatched function filter correctly instead of warning
"symbol-loading error", since that can be a filter issue.
From the technical point of view, this adds a filter chech in map__load
and if there is a filter, it returns -2 (filter-out), instead of -1
(error), and perf-probe checks it and change message.
E.g. without this fix:
# perf probe -F rt_sp*
no symbols found in [kernel.kallsyms], maybe install a debug package?
Failed to load symbols in kernel
With this fix:
# perf probe -F rt_sp*
no symbols passed the given filter.
Failed to find symbols matched to "rt_sp*"
Error: Failed to show functions.

In some cases it's necessry to figure out the map-local index of a given
Linux logical CPU ID. Add a new helper, cpu_map__idx, to acquire this.
As the logic is largely the same as the existing cpu_map__has, this is
rewritten in terms of the new helper.
At the same time, add the inverse operation, cpu_map__cpu, which yields
the logical CPU id for a map-local index. While this can be performed
manually, wrapping this in a helper can make code more legible.

In create_perf_stat_counter, when a target CPU has not been provided, we
call __perf_evsel__open with empty_cpu_map, and open a single FD per
thread. However, in read_counter we assume that we opened events for the
product of threads and CPUs described in the evsel's cpu_map.
Thus, if an evsel has a cpu_map with more than one entry, we will
attempt to access FDs that we didn't open. This could result in a number
of problems (e.g. blocking while reading from STDIN if the fd memory
happened to be initialised to zero).
This is problematic for systems were a logical CPU PMU covers some
arbitrary subset of CPUs. The cpu_map of any evsel for that PMU will be
initialised based on the cpumask exposed through sysfs, even if the user
requests per-thread events.

When working with overwritable ring buffer there's a inconvenience
problem: if perf dumps data after a long period after it starts,
non-sample events may lost, which makes following 'perf report' unable
to identify proc name and mmap layout. For example:
# perf record -m 4 -e raw_syscalls:* -g --overwrite --switch-output \
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null
send SIGUSR2 after dd runs long enough. The resuling perf.data lost
correct comm and mmap events:
# perf script -i perf.data.2016061522374354
perf 24478 [004] 2581325.601789: raw_syscalls:sys_exit: NR 0 = 512

^^^^^^^^^^^^
Fail to unwind
This patch provides a '--tail-synthesize' option, allows perf to collect
system status when finalizing output file. In resuling output file, the
non-sample events reflect system status when dumping data.
After this patch:
# perf record -m 4 -e raw_syscalls:* -g --overwrite --switch-output --tail-synthesize \
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null
# perf script -i perf.data.2016061600544998

^^^^^
Correct unwind
This option doesn't aim to solve this problem completely. If a process
terminates before SIGUSR2, we still lost its COMM and MMAP events. For
example, we can't unwind correctly from the final perf.data we get from
the previous example, because when perf collects the final output file
(when we press C-c), 'dd' has been terminated so its '/proc/<pid>/mmap'
becomes empty.
However, this is a cheaper choice. To completely solve this problem we
need to continously output non-sample events. To satisify the
requirement of daemonization, we need to merge them periodically. It is
possible but requires much more code and cycles.
Automatically select --tail-synthesize when --overwrite is provided.

To avoid 'XX out of order events recorded' warning message (timestamps
of records is in reverse order when using write_backward), suppress the
warning message if write_backward is selected by at lease one event.

This patch allows following config terms and option:
Globally setting events to overwrite;
# perf record --overwrite ...
Set specific events to be overwrite or no-overwrite.
# perf record --event cycles/overwrite/ ...
# perf record --event cycles/no-overwrite/ ...
Add missing config terms and update the config term array size because
the longest string length has changed.
For overwritable events, it automatically selects attr.write_backward
since perf requires it to be backward for reading.
Test result:
# perf record --overwrite -e syscalls:*enter_nanosleep* usleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.011 MB perf.data (1 samples) ]

Introduce a bkw_mmap_state state machine to evlist:
.________________(forbid)_____________.
| V
NOTREADY --(0)--> RUNNING --(1)--> DATA_PENDING --(2)--> EMPTY
^ ^ | ^ |
| |__(forbid)____/ |___(forbid)___/|
| |
\_________________(3)_______________/
NOTREADY : Backward ring buffers are not ready
RUNNING : Backward ring buffers are recording
DATA_PENDING : We are required to collect data from backward ring buffers
EMPTY : We have collected data from backward ring buffers.
(0): Setup backward ring buffer
(1): Pause ring buffers for reading
(2): Read from ring buffers
(3): Resume ring buffers for recording
We can't avoid this complexity. Since we deliberately drop records from
overwritable ring buffer, there's no way for us to check remaining from
ring buffer itself (by checking head and old pointers). Therefore, we
need DATA_PENDING and EMPTY state to help us recording what we have done
to the ring buffer.
In record__mmap_read_evlist(), drive this state machine from DATA_PENDING
to EMPTY.
In perf_evlist__mmap_per_evsel(), drive this state machine from NOTREADY
to RUNNING when creating backward mmap.

Currently, the evlist mmap related helpers and APIs accept evlist and
idx, and dereference 'struct perf_mmap' by evlist->mmap[idx]. This is
unnecessary, and force each evlist contains only one mmap array.
Following commits are going to introduce multiple mmap arrays to a
evlist. This patch refators these APIs and helpers, introduces
functions accept perf_mmap pointer directly. New helpers and APIs are
decoupled with perf_evlist, and become perf_mmap functions (so they have
perf_mmap prefix).
Old functions are reimplemented with new functions. Some of them will be
removed in following commits.

evsel->overwrite indicator means an event should be put into
overwritable ring buffer. In current implementation, it equals to
evsel->attr.write_backward. To reduce compliexity, remove
evsel->overwrite, use evsel->attr.write_backward instead.
In addition, in __perf_evsel__open(), if kernel doesn't support
write_backward and user explicitly set it in evsel, don't fallback
like other missing feature, since it is meaningless to fall back to
a forward ring buffer in this case: we are unable to stably read
from an forward overwritable ring buffer.

that neither sysconf(_SC_LEVEL1_DCACHE_LINESIZE) nor

So far the cacheline_size is only useful for the "dcacheline" --sort
order, i.e. if that is not used, which is the norm, then the user
shouldn't care that he is running this, say, on an Android system where
sysconf(_SC_LEVEL1_DCACHE_LINESIZE) and the
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cache/index0/coherency_line_size sysfs file
isn't available.
An upcoming patch will emit an warning only for "--sort ...,dcacheline,...".

Support a special SDT probe format which can omit the '%' prefix only if
the SDT group name starts with "sdt_". So, for example both of
"%sdt_libc:setjump" and "sdt_libc:setjump" are acceptable for perf probe
--add.
E.g. without this:
# perf probe -a sdt_libc:setjmp
Semantic error :There is non-digit char in line number.
...
With this:
# perf probe -a sdt_libc:setjmp
Added new event:
sdt_libc:setjmp (on %setjmp in /usr/lib64/libc-2.20.so)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e sdt_libc:setjmp -aR sleep 1

Support @BUILDID or @FILE suffix for SDT events. This allows perf to add
probes on SDTs/pre-cached events on given FILE or the file which has
given BUILDID (also, this complements BUILDID.)
For example, both gcc and libstdc++ has same SDTs as below. If you
would like to add a probe on sdt_libstdcxx:catch on gcc, you can do as
below.
----
# perf list sdt | tail -n 6
sdt_libstdcxx:catch@/usr/bin/gcc(0cc207fc4b27) [SDT event]
sdt_libstdcxx:catch@/usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.20(91c7a88fdf49)

sdt_libstdcxx:throw@/usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.20(91c7a88fdf49)
# perf probe -a %sdt_libstdcxx:catch@0cc
Added new event:
sdt_libstdcxx:catch (on %catch in /usr/bin/gcc)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e sdt_libstdcxx:catch -aR sleep 1
----
Committer note:
Doing the full sequence of steps to get the results above:
With a clean build-id cache:
[root@jouet ~]# rm -rf ~/.debug/
[root@jouet ~]# perf list sdt
List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e):
[root@jouet ~]#
No events whatsoever, then, we can add all events in gcc to the build-id
cache, doing a --add + --dry-run:
[root@jouet ~]# perf probe --dry-run --cache -x /usr/bin/gcc --add %sdt_libstdcxx:\*
Added new events:
sdt_libstdcxx:throw (on %* in /usr/bin/gcc)
sdt_libstdcxx:rethrow (on %* in /usr/bin/gcc)
sdt_libstdcxx:catch (on %* in /usr/bin/gcc)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e sdt_libstdcxx:catch -aR sleep 1
[root@jouet ~]#
It really didn't add any events, it just cached them:
[root@jouet ~]# perf probe -l
[root@jouet ~]#
We can see that it was cached as:

Ok, now we can use 'perf probe' to refer to those cached entries as:
Humm, nope, doing as above we end up with:
[root@jouet ~]# perf probe -a %sdt_libstdcxx:catch
Semantic error :* is bad for event name -it must follow C symbol-naming rule.
Error: Failed to add events.
[root@jouet ~]#
But it worked at some point, lets try not using --dry-run:
Resetting everything:
# rm -rf ~/.debug/
# perf probe -d *:*
# perf probe -l
# perf list sdt
List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e):
#
Ok, now it cached everything, even things we haven't asked it to
(sdt_libgcc:unwind):
[root@jouet ~]# perf probe -x /usr/bin/gcc --add %sdt_libstdcxx:\*
Added new events:
sdt_libstdcxx:throw (on %* in /usr/bin/gcc)
sdt_libstdcxx:rethrow (on %* in /usr/bin/gcc)
sdt_libstdcxx:catch (on %* in /usr/bin/gcc)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e sdt_libstdcxx:catch -aR sleep 1
[root@jouet ~]# perf list sdt
List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e):
sdt_libgcc:unwind [SDT event]
sdt_libstdcxx:catch [SDT event]
sdt_libstdcxx:rethrow [SDT event]
sdt_libstdcxx:throw [SDT event]
[root@jouet ~]#
And we have the events in place:
[root@jouet ~]# perf probe -l
sdt_libstdcxx:catch (on execute_cfa_program+1551@../../../libgcc/unwind-dw2.c in /usr/bin/gcc)
sdt_libstdcxx:rethrow (on d_print_subexpr+280@libsupc++/cp-demangle.c in /usr/bin/gcc)
sdt_libstdcxx:throw (on d_print_subexpr+93@libsupc++/cp-demangle.c in /usr/bin/gcc)
[root@jouet ~]#
And trying to use them at least has 'perf trace --event sdt*:*' working.
Then, if we try to add the ones in libstdc++:
[root@jouet ~]# perf probe -x /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 -a %sdt_libstdcxx:\*
Error: event "catch" already exists.
Hint: Remove existing event by 'perf probe -d'
or force duplicates by 'perf probe -f'
or set 'force=yes' in BPF source.
Error: Failed to add events.
[root@jouet ~]#
Doesn't work, dups, but at least this served to, unbeknownst to the user, add
the SDT probes in /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6!
[root@jouet ~]# perf list sdt
List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e):
sdt_libgcc:unwind [SDT event]
sdt_libstdcxx:catch@/usr/bin/gcc(9a0730e2bcc6) [SDT event]
sdt_libstdcxx:catch@/usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.22(ef2b7066559a) [SDT event]

sdt_libstdcxx:throw@/usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.22(ef2b7066559a) [SDT event]
[root@jouet ~]#
Now we should be able to get to the original cset comment, if we remove all
SDTs events in place, not from the cache, from the kernel, where it was set up as:

Removed event: sdt_libstdcxx:throw
[root@jouet ~]#
Which caused:
[root@jouet ~]# ls -la /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sdt_libstdcxx/
ls: cannot access '/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sdt_libstdcxx/': No such file or directory
[root@jouet ~]#
Ok, now we can do:
[root@jouet ~]# perf list sdt_libstdcxx:catch
List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e):
sdt_libstdcxx:catch@/usr/bin/gcc(9a0730e2bcc6) [SDT event]
sdt_libstdcxx:catch@/usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.22(ef2b7066559a) [SDT event]
[root@jouet ~]#
So, these are not really 'pre-defined events', i.e. we can't use them with
'perf record --event':
[root@jouet ~]# perf record --event sdt_libstdcxx:catch*
event syntax error: 'sdt_libstdcxx:catch*'
\___ unknown tracepoint
Error: File /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sdt_libstdcxx/catch* not found.
Hint: Perhaps this kernel misses some CONFIG_ setting to enable this feature?.
<SNIP>
[root@jouet ~]#
To have it really pre-defined we must use perf probe to get its definition from
the cache and set it up in the kernel, creating the tracepoint to _then_ use it
with 'perf record --event':
[root@jouet ~]# perf probe -a sdt_libstdcxx:catch
Semantic error :There is non-digit char in line number.
<SNIP>
Oops, there is another gotcha here, we need that pesky '%' character:
[root@jouet ~]# perf probe -a %sdt_libstdcxx:catch
Added new events:
sdt_libstdcxx:catch (on %catch in /usr/bin/gcc)
sdt_libstdcxx:catch_1 (on %catch in /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.22)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e sdt_libstdcxx:catch_1 -aR sleep 1
[root@jouet ~]#
But then we added _two_ events, one with the name we expected, the other one
with a _ added, when doing the analysis we need to pay attention to who maps to
who.
And here is where we get to the point of this patch, which is to be able to
disambiguate those definitions for 'catch' in the build-id cache, but first we need
remove those events we just added:
[root@jouet ~]# perf probe -d %sdt_libstdcxx:catch
Oops, that didn't remove anything, we need to _remove_ that % char in this case:
[root@jouet ~]# perf probe -d sdt_libstdcxx:catch
Removed event: sdt_libstdcxx:catch
And we need to remove the other event added, i.e. I forgot to add a * at the end:
[root@jouet ~]# perf probe -d sdt_libstdcxx:catch*
Removed event: sdt_libstdcxx:catch_1
[root@jouet ~]#
Ok, disambiguating it using what is in this patch:
[root@jouet ~]# perf list sdt_libstdcxx:catch
List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e):
sdt_libstdcxx:catch@/usr/bin/gcc(9a0730e2bcc6) [SDT event]
sdt_libstdcxx:catch@/usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.22(ef2b7066559a) [SDT event]
[root@jouet ~]#
[root@jouet ~]# perf probe -a %sdt_libstdcxx:catch@9a07
Added new event:
sdt_libstdcxx:catch (on %catch in /usr/bin/gcc)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e sdt_libstdcxx:catch -aR sleep 1
[root@jouet ~]# perf probe -l
sdt_libstdcxx:catch (on execute_cfa_program+1551@../../../libgcc/unwind-dw2.c in /usr/bin/gcc)
[root@jouet ~]#
Yeah, it works! But we need to try and simplify this :-)
Update: Some aspects of this simplification take place in the following
patches.

Show SDT and pre-cached events by perf-list with "sdt". This also shows
the binary and build-id where the events are placed only when there are
same name events on different binaries.
e.g.:
# perf list sdt
List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e):
sdt_libc:lll_futex_wake [SDT event]
sdt_libc:lll_lock_wait_private [SDT event]
sdt_libc:longjmp [SDT event]
sdt_libc:longjmp_target [SDT event]
...
sdt_libstdcxx:rethrow@/usr/bin/gcc(0cc207fc4b27) [SDT event]
sdt_libstdcxx:rethrow@/usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.20(91c7a88fdf49)
sdt_libstdcxx:throw@/usr/bin/gcc(0cc207fc4b27) [SDT event]
sdt_libstdcxx:throw@/usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.20(91c7a88fdf49)
The binary path and build-id are shown in below format;
<GROUP>:<EVENT>@<PATH>(<BUILD-ID>)

Search SDT/cached event from all probe caches if user doesn't pass any
binary. With this, we don't have to specify target binary for SDT and
named cached events (which start with %).
E.g. without this, a target binary must be passed with -x.
# perf probe -x /usr/lib64/libc-2.20.so -a %sdt_libc:\*
With this change, we don't need it anymore.
# perf probe -a %sdt_libc:\*
