* bpf: Fix the build on BPF_SYSCALL=y && !CONFIG_TRACING kernels, make it more ↵Ingo Molnar2015-04-022-1/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | configurable So bpf_tracing.o depends on CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL - but that's not its only dependency, it also depends on the tracing infrastructure and on kprobes, without which it will fail to build with: In file included from kernel/trace/bpf_trace.c:14:0: kernel/trace/trace.h: In function ‘trace_test_and_set_recursion’: kernel/trace/trace.h:491:28: error: ‘struct task_struct’ has no member named ‘trace_recursion’ unsigned int val = current->trace_recursion; [...] It took quite some time to trigger this build failure, because right now BPF_SYSCALL is very obscure, depends on CONFIG_EXPERT. So also make BPF_SYSCALL more configurable, not just under CONFIG_EXPERT. If BPF_SYSCALL, tracing and kprobes are enabled then enable the bpf_tracing gateway as well. We might want to make this an interactive option later on, although I'd not complicate it unnecessarily: enabling BPF_SYSCALL is enough of an indicator that the user wants BPF support.

* tracing: Allow BPF programs to call bpf_trace_printk()Alexei Starovoitov2015-04-021-0/+78
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Debugging of BPF programs needs some form of printk from the program, so let programs call limited trace_printk() with %d %u %x %p modifiers only. Similar to kernel modules, during program load verifier checks whether program is calling bpf_trace_printk() and if so, kernel allocates trace_printk buffers and emits big 'this is debug only' banner.

* tracing, perf: Implement BPF programs attached to kprobesAlexei Starovoitov2015-04-025-1/+204
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | BPF programs, attached to kprobes, provide a safe way to execute user-defined BPF byte-code programs without being able to crash or hang the kernel in any way. The BPF engine makes sure that such programs have a finite execution time and that they cannot break out of their sandbox. The user interface is to attach to a kprobe via the perf syscall: struct perf_event_attr attr = { .type = PERF_TYPE_TRACEPOINT, .config = event_id, ... }; event_fd = perf_event_open(&attr,...); ioctl(event_fd, PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_BPF, prog_fd); 'prog_fd' is a file descriptor associated with BPF program previously loaded. 'event_id' is an ID of the kprobe created. Closing 'event_fd': close(event_fd); ... automatically detaches BPF program from it. BPF programs can call in-kernel helper functions to: - lookup/update/delete elements in maps - probe_read - wraper of probe_kernel_read() used to access any kernel data structures BPF programs receive 'struct pt_regs *' as an input ('struct pt_regs' is architecture dependent) and return 0 to ignore the event and 1 to store kprobe event into the ring buffer. Note, kprobes are a fundamentally _not_ a stable kernel ABI, so BPF programs attached to kprobes must be recompiled for every kernel version and user must supply correct LINUX_VERSION_CODE in attr.kern_version during bpf_prog_load() call.

* perf: Add per event clockid supportPeter Zijlstra2015-03-271-3/+74
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While thinking on the whole clock discussion it occurred to me we have two distinct uses of time: 1) the tracking of event/ctx/cgroup enabled/running/stopped times which includes the self-monitoring support in struct perf_event_mmap_page. 2) the actual timestamps visible in the data records. And we've been conflating them. The first is all about tracking time deltas, nobody should really care in what time base that happens, its all relative information, as long as its internally consistent it works. The second however is what people are worried about when having to merge their data with external sources. And here we have the discussion on MONOTONIC vs MONOTONIC_RAW etc.. Where MONOTONIC is good for correlating between machines (static offset), MONOTNIC_RAW is required for correlating against a fixed rate hardware clock. This means configurability; now 1) makes that hard because it needs to be internally consistent across groups of unrelated events; which is why we had to have a global perf_clock(). However, for 2) it doesn't really matter, perf itself doesn't care what it writes into the buffer. The below patch makes the distinction between these two cases by adding perf_event_clock() which is used for the second case. It further makes this configurable on a per-event basis, but adds a few sanity checks such that we cannot combine events with different clocks in confusing ways. And since we then have per-event configurability we might as well retain the 'legacy' behaviour as a default.

| | * perf/x86/intel: Support task events with Intel CQMMatt Fleming2015-02-251-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add support for task events as well as system-wide events. This change has a big impact on the way that we gather LLC occupancy values in intel_cqm_event_read(). Currently, for system-wide (per-cpu) events we defer processing to userspace which knows how to discard all but one cpu result per package. Things aren't so simple for task events because we need to do the value aggregation ourselves. To do this, we defer updating the LLC occupancy value in event->count from intel_cqm_event_read() and do an SMP cross-call to read values for all packages in intel_cqm_event_count(). We need to ensure that we only do this for one task event per cache group, otherwise we'll report duplicate values. If we're a system-wide event we want to fallback to the default perf_event_count() implementation. Refactor this into a common function so that we don't duplicate the code. Also, introduce PERF_TYPE_INTEL_CQM, since we need a way to track an event's task (if the event isn't per-cpu) inside of the Intel CQM PMU driver. This task information is only availble in the upper layers of the perf infrastructure. Other perf backends stash the target task in event->hw.*target so we need to do something similar. The task is used to determine whether events should share a cache group and an RMID.

Introduce a new optional ->count() accessor function that can be used to customize how values are collected. If a PMU driver doesn't provide a ->count() function, we fallback to the existing code. There is necessarily a window of staleness with this approach because the task that generated the counter value may not have been scheduled by the cpu recently. An alternative and more complex approach would be to use a hrtimer to periodically refresh the values from a more permissive scheduling context. So, we're trading off complexity for accuracy.

In particular: 1. cd is not ____cacheline_aligned, 2. struct clock_data does not distinguish between hotpath and coldpath data, reducing locality of reference in the hotpath, 3. Some hotpath data is missing from struct clock_data and is marked __read_mostly (which more or less guarantees it will not share a cache line with cd). This patch corrects these problems by extracting all hotpath data into a separate structure and using ____cacheline_aligned to ensure the hotpath uses a single (64 byte) cache line.

This gives the impression of safety during cursory review but achieves little. Note that this is likely to be a latent issue at present because sched_clock_register() is typically called before we enable interrupts, however the issue does risk bugs being needlessly introduced as the code evolves. This patch fixes the problem by increasing the scope of the read locking performed by sched_clock() to cover all data modified by sched_clock_register. We also improve clarity by moving writes to struct clock_data that do not impact sched_clock() outside of the critical section.

This prevents any useful analysis of why the skew occurred. Thus this patch tries to improve the output when we mark a clocksource as unstable, printing out the cycle last and now values for both the current clocksource and the watchdog clocksource. This will allow us to see if the result was due to a false positive caused by a problematic watchdog.

So this patch adds some warnings here. The flag variables used are not protected by locks, but since we can't print from the reading functions, just being able to say we saw an issue in the update interval is useful enough, and can be slightly racy without real consequence. The big complication is that we're only under a read seqlock, so the data could shift under us during our calculation to see if there was a problem. This patch avoids this issue by nesting another seqlock which allows us to snapshot the just required values atomically. So we shouldn't see false positives. I also added some basic rate-limiting here, since on one build machine w/ skewed TSCs it was fairly noisy at bootup.

The values are actually negative with respect to the clocksource mask value, not necessarily negative if cast to a s64, but we can check by checking the delta to see if it is a small (relative to the mask) negative value (again negative relative to the mask). If so, we assume we jumped backwards somehow and instead use zero for our delta.

| * | | | | timekeeping: Add checks to cap clocksource reads to the 'max_cycles' valueJohn Stultz2015-03-131-14/+35

This patch introduces infrastructure to allow a cap that limits the clocksource read delta value to the 'max_cycles' value, which is where an overflow would occur. Since this is in the hotpath, it adds the extra checking under CONFIG_DEBUG_TIMEKEEPING=y. There was some concern that capping time like this could cause problems as we may stop expiring timers, which could go circular if the timer that triggers time accumulation were mis-scheduled too far in the future, which would cause time to stop. However, since the mult overflow would result in a smaller time value, we would effectively have the same problem there.

Thus, this patch adds some extra infrastructure to add a check to update_wall_time() to print two new warnings: 1) if we see the call delayed beyond the 'max_cycles' overflow point, 2) or if we see the call delayed beyond the clocksource's 'max_idle_ns' value, which is currently 50% of the overflow point. This extra infrastructure is conditional on a new CONFIG_DEBUG_TIMEKEEPING option, also added in this patch - default off. Tested this a bit by halting qemu for specified lengths of time to trigger the warnings.

Most of these are 12% safety margins, but they are inconsistently applied and sometimes are applied on top of each other. Additionally, in the previous patch, we corrected an issue where we unintentionally in effect created a 50% safety margin, which these 12.5% margins where then added to. So to simplify the logic here, this patch removes the various 12.5% margins, and consolidates adding the margin in one place: clocks_calc_max_nsecs(). Additionally, Linus prefers a 50% safety margin, as it allows bad clock values to be more easily caught. This should really have no net effect, due to the corrected issue earlier which caused greater then 50% margins to be used w/o issue.

Since this is not in the hot path, just do the divide to make it easier to read. The previous implementation also had a subtle issue that it avoided overflows with signed 64-bit values, where as the intervals are always unsigned. This resulted in overly conservative intervals, which other safety margins were then added to, reducing the intended interval length.
