| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We currently log hw.sample_period for PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD, however this is incorrect. When we adjust the period, it will only take effect the next cycle but report it for the current cycle. So when we adjust the period for every cycle, we're always wrong.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Also employ the overflow handler to adjust the frequency, this results in a stable frequency in about 40~50 samples, instead of that many ticks. This also means we can start sampling at a sample period of 1 without running head-first into the throttle. It relies on sched_clock() to accurately measure the time difference between the overflow NMIs.

This is a 3-dimensional space: { L1-D, L1-I, L2, ITLB, DTLB, BPU } x { load, store, prefetch } x { accesses, misses } User-space passes in the 3 coordinates and the kernel provides a counter. (if the hardware supports that type and if the combination makes sense.) Combinations that make no sense produce a -EINVAL. Combinations that are not supported by the hardware produce -ENOTSUP. Extend the tools to deal with this, and rewrite the event symbol parsing code with various popular aliases for the units and access methods above. So 'l1-cache-miss' and 'l1d-read-ops' are both valid aliases. ( x86 is supported for now, with the Nehalem event table filled in, and with Core2 and Atom having placeholder tables. ) Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Corey Ashford <cjashfor@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> LKML-Reference: <new-submission> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Clean this up by creating a separate attr->type field. Also clean up the various similarly complex user-space bits all around counter attribute management. The net improvement is significant, and it will be easier to add a new major type (which is what triggered this cleanup). (This changes the ABI, all tools are adapted.) (PowerPC build-tested.)

What happens then is that we get into perf_counter_interrupt() with counter->hw.idx = 0 for the limited counters, leading to the "oops trying to read PMC0" error message being printed. This fixes the problem by making perf_counter_interrupt() robust against counter->hw.idx being zero (the counter is just ignored in that case) and also by changing write_mmcr0() to write MMCR0 initially with the counter overflow interrupt enable bits masked (set to 0). If the MMCR0 value requested by the caller has either of those bits set, we write MMCR0 again with the requested value of those bits after setting up the limited counters properly.

The effect is that we get extra, bogus event code alternatives on POWER5 and POWER5+, leading to error messages such as "oops compute_mmcr failed" being printed and counters not counting properly. This fixes it by using s64 for the return type of find_alternative_bdecode and for the local variable that the caller puts the value in. It also makes the event argument a u64 on POWER5+ for consistency.

Since we don't have individual count enable/disable or interrupt enable/disable controls per counter, this simply sets the hardware counter to 0, meaning that it will not interrupt again until it has counted 2^31 counts, which will take at least 2^30 cycles assuming a maximum of 2 counts per cycle. Also, we set counter->hw.period_left to the maximum possible value (2^63 - 1), so we won't report overflows for this counter for the forseeable future. The unthrottle operation restores counter->hw.period_left and the hardware counter so that we will once again report a counter overflow after counter->hw.irq_period counts.

The main reason for doing is this is to allow us to transfer a perf_counter_context from one task to another when we do lazy PMU switching in a later patch. This has a few side-benefits: the task_struct becomes a little smaller, we save some memory because only tasks that have perf_counters attached get a perf_counter_context allocated for them, and we can remove the inclusion of <linux/perf_counter.h> in sched.h, meaning that we don't end up recompiling nearly everything whenever perf_counter.h changes. The perf_counter_context structures are reference-counted and freed when the last reference is dropped. A context can have references from its task and the counters on its task. Counters can outlive the task so it is possible that a context will be freed well after its task has exited. Contexts are allocated on fork if the parent had a context, or otherwise the first time that a per-task counter is created on a task. In the latter case, we set the context pointer in the task struct locklessly using an atomic compare-and-exchange operation in case we raced with some other task in creating a context for the subject task. This also removes the task pointer from the perf_counter struct. The task pointer was not used anywhere and would make it harder to move a context from one task to another. Anything that needed to know which task a counter was attached to was already using counter->ctx->task. The __perf_counter_init_context function moves up in perf_counter.c so that it can be called from find_get_context, and now initializes the refcount, but is otherwise unchanged. We were potentially calling list_del_counter twice: once from __perf_counter_exit_task when the task exits and once from __perf_counter_remove_from_context when the counter's fd gets closed. This adds a check in list_del_counter so it doesn't do anything if the counter has already been removed from the lists. Since perf_counter_task_sched_in doesn't do anything if the task doesn't have a context, and leaves cpuctx->task_ctx = NULL, this adds code to __perf_install_in_context to set cpuctx->task_ctx if necessary, i.e. in the case where the current task adds the first counter to itself and thus creates a context for itself. This also adds similar code to __perf_counter_enable to handle a similar situation which can arise when the counters have been disabled using prctl; that also leaves cpuctx->task_ctx = NULL.

Since POWER6 uses different bit positions in MMCRA from earlier processors, this converts the struct power_pmu limited_pmc5_6 field, which only had 0/1 values, into a flags field and defines bit values for its previous use (PPMU_LIMITED_PMC5_6) and a new flag (PPMU_ALT_SIPR) to indicate that the processor uses the POWER6 bit positions rather than the earlier positions. It also adds definitions in reg.h for the new and old positions of the bit that indicates that the SIAR and SDAR values come from the same instruction. For the data address, the SDAR value is supplied if we are not doing instruction sampling. In that case there is no guarantee that the address given in the PERF_RECORD_ADDR subrecord will correspond to the instruction whose address is given in the PERF_RECORD_IP subrecord. If instruction sampling is enabled (e.g. because this counter is counting a marked instruction event), then we only supply the SDAR value for the PERF_RECORD_ADDR subrecord if it corresponds to the instruction whose address is in the PERF_RECORD_IP subrecord. Otherwise we supply 0.

This expands them to 64 bits so that we can add bits for specifying threshold start/stop events and instruction sampling modes later. This also corrects the return value of can_go_on_limited_pmc; we were returning an event code rather than just a 0/1 value in some circumstances. That didn't particularly matter while event codes were 32-bit, but now that event codes are 64-bit it might, so this fixes it.

Alas, this happened in testing so make this robust and emit a warning if it happens in the future. Also, clean up the IRQ handlers a bit.

The PMU had PMC0 set in MSR_CORE_PERF_GLOBAL_STATUS, but it was not possible to ack it via MSR_CORE_PERF_GLOBAL_OVF_CTRL, and the NMI loop got stuck infinitely.
