2020-05-05perf thread-stack: Add branch stack supportAdrian Hunter4-14/+108
Intel PT already has support for creating branch stacks for each context (per-cpu or per-thread). In the more common per-cpu case, the branch stack is not separated for different threads, instead being cleared in between each sample. That approach will not work very well for adding branch stacks to regular events. The branch stacks really need to be accumulated separately for each thread. As a start to accomplishing that, this patch adds support for putting branch stack support into the thread-stack. The advantages are: 1. the branches are accumulated separately for each thread 2. the branch stack is cleared only in between continuous traces This helps pave the way for adding branch stacks to regular events, not just synthesized events as at present.

SMT now could be disabled via "/sys/devices/system/cpu/smt/control". Status is shown in "/sys/devices/system/cpu/smt/active" simply as "0" / "1". If this knob isn't here then fallback to checking topology as before.

2020-05-05iocost: protect iocg->abs_vdebt with iocg->waitq.lockTejun Heo1-1/+6
abs_vdebt is an atomic_64 which tracks how much over budget a given cgroup is and controls the activation of use_delay mechanism. Once a cgroup goes over budget from forced IOs, it has to pay it back with its future budget. The progress guarantee on debt paying comes from the iocg being active - active iocgs are processed by the periodic timer, which ensures that as time passes the debts dissipate and the iocg returns to normal operation. However, both iocg activation and vdebt handling are asynchronous and a sequence like the following may happen. 1. The iocg is in the process of being deactivated by the periodic timer. 2. A bio enters ioc_rqos_throttle(), calls iocg_activate() which returns without anything because it still sees that the iocg is already active. 3. The iocg is deactivated. 4. The bio from #2 is over budget but needs to be forced. It increases abs_vdebt and goes over the threshold and enables use_delay. 5. IO control is enabled for the iocg's subtree and now IOs are attributed to the descendant cgroups and the iocg itself no longer issues IOs. This leaves the iocg with stuck abs_vdebt - it has debt but inactive and no further IOs which can activate it. This can end up unduly punishing all the descendants cgroups. The usual throttling path has the same issue - the iocg must be active while throttled to ensure that future event will wake it up - and solves the problem by synchronizing the throttling path with a spinlock. abs_vdebt handling is another form of overage handling and shares a lot of characteristics including the fact that it isn't in the hottest path. This patch fixes the above and other possible races by strictly synchronizing abs_vdebt and use_delay handling with iocg->waitq.lock.

2020-05-01selftests: fix kvm relocatable native/cross builds and installsShuah Khan1-1/+28
kvm test Makefile doesn't fully support cross-builds and installs. UNAME_M = $(shell uname -m) variable is used to define the target programs and libraries to be built from arch specific sources in sub-directories. For cross-builds to work, UNAME_M has to map to ARCH and arch specific directories and targets in this Makefile. UNAME_M variable to used to run the compiles pointing to the right arch directories and build the right targets for these supported architectures. TEST_GEN_PROGS and LIBKVM are set using UNAME_M variable. LINUX_TOOL_ARCH_INCLUDE is set using ARCH variable. x86_64 targets are named to include x86_64 as a suffix and directories for includes are in x86_64 sub-directory. s390x and aarch64 follow the same convention. "uname -m" doesn't result in the correct mapping for s390x and aarch64. Fix it to set UNAME_M correctly for s390x and aarch64 cross-builds. In addition, Makefile doesn't create arch sub-directories in the case of relocatable builds and test programs under s390x and x86_64 directories fail to build. This is a problem for native and cross-builds. Fix it to create all necessary directories keying off of TEST_GEN_PROGS. The following use-cases work with this change: Native x86_64: make O=/tmp/kselftest -C tools/testing/selftests TARGETS=kvm install \ INSTALL_PATH=$HOME/x86_64 arm64 cross-build: make O=$HOME/arm64_build/ ARCH=arm64 HOSTCC=gcc \ CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- defconfig make O=$HOME/arm64_build/ ARCH=arm64 HOSTCC=gcc \ CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- all make kselftest-install TARGETS=kvm O=$HOME/arm64_build ARCH=arm64 \ HOSTCC=gcc CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- s390x cross-build: make O=$HOME/s390x_build/ ARCH=s390 HOSTCC=gcc \ CROSS_COMPILE=s390x-linux-gnu- defconfig make O=$HOME/s390x_build/ ARCH=s390 HOSTCC=gcc \ CROSS_COMPILE=s390x-linux-gnu- all make kselftest-install TARGETS=kvm O=$HOME/s390x_build/ ARCH=s390 \ HOSTCC=gcc CROSS_COMPILE=s390x-linux-gnu- all No regressions in the following use-cases: make -C tools/testing/selftests TARGETS=kvm make kselftest-all TARGETS=kvm Signed-off-by: Shuah Khan <[email protected]>

Josh found this was the result of commit: 764eef4b109a ("objtool: Rewrite alt->skip_orig") Due to the early return in validate_branch() we no longer set insn->cfi of the original instruction stream (the NOPs at 0xf41 and 0xf42) and we'll end up with the above weirdness. In other discussions we realized alternatives should be ORC invariant; that is, due to there being only a single ORC table, it must be valid for all alternatives. The easiest way to ensure this is to not allow any stack modifications in alternatives. When we enforce this latter observation, we get the property that the whole alternative must have the same CFI, which we can employ to fix the former report.

2020-04-30perf metricgroups: Enhance JSON/metric infrastructure to handle "?"Kajol Jain8-27/+79
Patch enhances current metric infrastructure to handle "?" in the metric expression. The "?" can be use for parameters whose value not known while creating metric events and which can be replace later at runtime to the proper value. It also add flexibility to create multiple events out of single metric event added in JSON file. Patch adds function 'arch_get_runtimeparam' which is a arch specific function, returns the count of metric events need to be created. By default it return 1. This infrastructure needed for hv_24x7 socket/chip level events. "hv_24x7" chip level events needs specific chip-id to which the data is requested. Function 'arch_get_runtimeparam' implemented in header.c which extract number of sockets from sysfs file "sockets" under "/sys/devices/hv_24x7/interface/". With this patch basically we are trying to create as many metric events as define by runtime_param. For that one loop is added in function 'metricgroup__add_metric', which create multiple events at run time depend on return value of 'arch_get_runtimeparam' and merge that event in 'group_list'. To achieve that we are actually passing this parameter value as part of `expr__find_other` function and changing "?" present in metric expression with this value. As in our JSON file, there gonna be single metric event, and out of which we are creating multiple events. To understand which data count belongs to which parameter value, we also printing param value in generic_metric function. For example, command:# ./perf stat -M PowerBUS_Frequency -C 0 -I 1000 1.000101867 9,356,933 hv_24x7/pm_pb_cyc,chip=0/ # 2.3 GHz PowerBUS_Frequency_0 1.000101867 9,366,134 hv_24x7/pm_pb_cyc,chip=1/ # 2.3 GHz PowerBUS_Frequency_1 2.000314878 9,365,868 hv_24x7/pm_pb_cyc,chip=0/ # 2.3 GHz PowerBUS_Frequency_0 2.000314878 9,366,092 hv_24x7/pm_pb_cyc,chip=1/ # 2.3 GHz PowerBUS_Frequency_1 So, here _0 and _1 after PowerBUS_Frequency specify parameter value.

2020-04-30perf synthetic events: Remove use of sscanf from /proc readingIan Rogers1-52/+105
The synthesize benchmark, run on a single process and thread, shows perf_event__synthesize_mmap_events as the hottest function with fgets and sscanf taking the majority of execution time. fscanf performs similarly well. Replace the scanf call with manual reading of each field of the /proc/pid/maps line, and remove some unnecessary buffering. This change also addresses potential, but unlikely, buffer overruns for the string values read by scanf.

2020-04-30tools api: Add a lightweight buffered reading apiIan Rogers5-0/+422
The synthesize benchmark shows the majority of execution time going to fgets and sscanf, necessary to parse /proc/pid/maps. Add a new buffered reading library that will be used to replace these calls in a follow-up CL. Add tests for the library to perf test.
