* iscsi_tcp: propogate EAGAIN from sendpage to libiscsiMike Christie2009-06-211-5/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The net layer might return -EAGAIN because it could not get space/mem within the sock sndtimeo or becuase the tcp/ip connection was down. For the latter we do not want to retry because the conn/session should just be shutdown and restarted. libiscsi knows the state of the session recovery so propogate this error to that layer. It will either do iscsi recovery or have us retry the operation. Right now if we have partially sent a pdu we would always retry the IO xmit slowing down recovery.

* x86, 64-bit: Clean up user address maskingLinus Torvalds2009-06-204-12/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The discussion about using "access_ok()" in get_user_pages_fast() (see commit 7f8189068726492950bf1a2dcfd9b51314560abf: "x86: don't use 'access_ok()' as a range check in get_user_pages_fast()" for details and end result), made us notice that x86-64 was really being very sloppy about virtual address checking. So be way more careful and straightforward about masking x86-64 virtual addresses: - All the VIRTUAL_MASK* variants now cover half of the address space, it's not like we can use the full mask on a signed integer, and the larger mask just invites mistakes when applying it to either half of the 48-bit address space. - /proc/kcore's kc_offset_to_vaddr() becomes a lot more obvious when it transforms a file offset into a (kernel-half) virtual address. - Unify/simplify the 32-bit and 64-bit USER_DS definition to be based on TASK_SIZE_MAX. This cleanup and more careful/obvious user virtual address checking also uncovered a buglet in the x86-64 implementation of strnlen_user(): it would do an "access_ok()" check on the whole potential area, even if the string itself was much shorter, and thus return an error even for valid strings. Our sloppy checking had hidden this. So this fixes 'strnlen_user()' to do this properly, the same way we already handled user strings in 'strncpy_from_user()'. Namely by just checking the first byte, and then relying on fault handling for the rest. That always works, since we impose a guard page that cannot be mapped at the end of the user space address space (and even if we didn't, we'd have the address space hole).

This causes compiler warnings every time we print a __u64 value with %Lx. Rather than changing __u64, we define our own u64 to be unsigned long long on all architectures, and similarly s64 as signed long long. For consistency we also define u32, s32, u16, s16, u8 and s8. These definitions are put in a new header, types.h, because these definitions are needed in util/string.h and util/symbol.h. The main change here is the mechanical change of __[us]{64,32,16,8} to remove the "__". The other changes are: * Create types.h * Include types.h in perf.h, util/string.h and util/symbol.h * Add types.h to the LIB_H definition in Makefile * Added (u64) casts in process_overflow_event() and print_sym_table() to kill two remaining warnings.

Therefore we can return a locked object that can get freed the moment we release the rcu read lock. perf_pin_task_context() then increases the refcount and does an unlock on freed memory. That increased refcount will cause a double free, in case it started out with 0. Ammend this by including the get_ctx() functionality in perf_lock_task_context() (all users already did this later anyway), and return a NULL context when the found one is already dead.

These machines have 6 hardware counters with a unique set of events which can be counted on each counter, with some events being available on multiple counters. Raw event codes for these processors are (PMC << 8) + PMCSEL. If PMC is non-zero then the event is that selected by the given PMCSEL value for that PMC (hardware counter). If PMC is zero then the event selected is one of the low-numbered ones that are common to several PMCs. In this case PMCSEL must be <= 22 and the event is what that PMCSEL value would select on PMC1 (but it may be placed any other PMC that has the same event for that PMCSEL value). For events that count cycles or occurrences that exceed a threshold, the threshold requested can be specified in the 0x3f000 bits of the raw event codes. If the event uses the threshold multiplier bit and that bit should be set, that is indicated with the 0x40000 bit of the raw event code. This fills in some of the generic cache events. Unfortunately there are quite a few blank spaces in the table, partly because these processors tend to count cache hits rather than cache accesses.

This is going to become inconvenient as we add more processor-specific back-ends, so this inverts the order: now each back-end checks whether it applies to the current processor, and registers itself if so. Furthermore, instead of looking at the PVR, back-ends now check the cur_cpu_spec->oprofile_cpu_type string and match on that. Lastly, each back-end now specifies a name for itself so the core can print a nice message when a back-end registers itself. This doesn't provide any support for unregistering back-ends, but that wouldn't be hard to do and would allow back-ends to be modules.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This changes the powerpc perf_counter back-end to use unsigned long types for hardware register values and for the value/mask pairs used in checking whether a given set of events fit within the hardware constraints. This is in preparation for adding support for the PMU on some 32-bit powerpc processors. On 32-bit processors the hardware registers are only 32 bits wide, and the PMU structure is generally simpler, so 32 bits should be ample for expressing the hardware constraints. On 64-bit processors, unsigned long is 64 bits wide, so using unsigned long vs. u64 (unsigned long long) makes no actual difference. This makes some other very minor changes: adjusting whitespace to line things up in initialized structures, and simplifying some code in hw_perf_disable().

| * | perf_counter: powerpc: Enable use of software counters on 32-bit powerpcPaul Mackerras2009-06-186-7/+51
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This enables the perf_counter subsystem on 32-bit powerpc. Since we don't have any support for hardware counters on 32-bit powerpc yet, only software counters can be used. Besides selecting HAVE_PERF_COUNTERS for 32-bit powerpc as well as 64-bit, the main thing this does is add an implementation of set_perf_counter_pending(). This needs to arrange for perf_counter_do_pending() to be called when interrupts are enabled. Rather than add code to local_irq_restore as 64-bit does, the 32-bit set_perf_counter_pending() generates an interrupt by setting the decrementer to 1 so that a decrementer interrupt will become pending in 1 or 2 timebase ticks (if a decrementer interrupt isn't already pending). When interrupts are enabled, timer_interrupt() will be called, and some new code in there calls perf_counter_do_pending(). We use a per-cpu array of flags to indicate whether we need to call perf_counter_do_pending() or not. This introduces a couple of new Kconfig symbols: PPC_HAVE_PMU_SUPPORT, which is selected by processor families for which we have hardware PMU support (currently only PPC64), and PPC_PERF_CTRS, which enables the powerpc-specific perf_counter back-end.

This is done by accounting each (reliable) call-chain that chains back to a given system call to that system call function. [ So in the above example we can see that hackbench spends about 40% of its total time somewhere in sys_write() and 40% somewhere in sys_read(), the rest of the time is spent in user-space. The time is not spent in sys_write() _itself_ but in one of its many child functions. ] Or, a recording of a (source files are already in the page-cache) kernel build: $ perf record -g -m 512 -f -- make -j32 kernel $ perf report -s s --syscalls | grep '\[k\]' | grep -v nmi 4.14% [k] do_page_fault 1.20% [k] sys_write 1.10% [k] sys_open 0.63% [k] sys_exit_group 0.48% [k] smp_apic_timer_interrupt 0.37% [k] sys_read 0.37% [k] sys_execve 0.20% [k] sys_mmap 0.18% [k] sys_close 0.14% [k] sys_munmap 0.13% [k] sys_poll 0.09% [k] sys_newstat 0.07% [k] sys_clone 0.06% [k] sys_newfstat 0.05% [k] sys_access 0.05% [k] schedule Shows the true total cost of each syscall variant that gets used during a kernel build. This profile reveals it that pagefaults are the costliest, followed by read()/write(). An interesting detail: timer interrupts cost 0.5% - or 0.5 seconds per 100 seconds of kernel build-time. (this was done with HZ=1000) The summary is done in 'perf report', i.e. in the post-processing stage - so once we have a good call-graph recording, this type of non-trivial high-level analysis becomes possible.

Therefore use a GUP based approach to copy the stack frames over. We tried an alternative solution as well: we used a forward ported version of Mathieu Desnoyers's "NMI safe INT3 and Page Fault" patch that modifies the exception return path to use an open-coded IRET with explicit stack unrolling and TF checking. This didnt work as it interacted with faulting user-space instructions, causing them not to restart properly, which corrupts user-space registers. Solving that would probably involve disassembling those instructions and backtracing the RIP. But even without that, the code was deemed rather complex to the already non-trivial x86 entry assembly code, so instead we went for this GUP based method that does a software-walk of the pagetables.
