perf_event: Fix incorrect range check on cpu number

It is quite legitimate for CPUs to be numbered sparsely, meaning
that it possible for an online CPU to have a number which is
greater than the total count of possible CPUs.

Currently find_get_context() has a sanity check on the cpu
number where it checks it against num_possible_cpus().  This
test can fail for a legitimate cpu number if the
cpu_possible_mask is sparsely populated.

This fixes the problem by checking the CPU number against
nr_cpumask_bits instead, since that is the appropriate check to
ensure that the cpu number is same to pass to cpu_isset()
subsequently.

14 years agoperf trace/scripting: Add 'record' and 'report' options
Tom Zanussi [Tue, 15 Dec 2009 08:53:39 +0000 (02:53 -0600)]
perf trace/scripting: Add 'record' and 'report' options

Allow scripts to be recorded/executed by simply specifying the
script root name (the script name minus extension) along with
'record' or 'report' to 'perf trace'.

The script names shown by 'perf trace -l' can be directly used
to run the command-line contained within the corresponding
'-record' and '-report' versions of scripts in the scripts/*/bin
directories.

For example, to record the trace data needed to run the
wakeup-latency.pl script, the user can easily find the name of
the corresponding script from the script list and invoke it
using 'perf trace record', without having to remember the
details of how to do the same thing using the lower-level perf
trace command-line options:

root@tropicana:~# perf trace -l
List of available trace scripts:
  workqueue-stats                      workqueue stats (ins/exe/create/destroy)
  wakeup-latency                       system-wide min/max/avg wakeup latency
  rw-by-file <comm>                    r/w activity for a program, by file

[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.296 MB perf.data (~12931
samples) ]

To run the wakeup-latency.pl script using the captured data,
change 'record' to 'report' in the command-line:

root@tropicana:~# perf trace report wakeup-latency

wakeup_latency stats:

total_wakeups: 65
avg_wakeup_latency (ns): 22417
min_wakeup_latency (ns): 3470
max_wakeup_latency (ns): 223311

If the script takes options, thay can be simply added to the end
of the 'report' invocation:

    the list to a single line, the description should be limited to 40

    args)

  - if the comment line starts with "args:", the rest of the line
    names the args the script supports.  Required args should be

perf symbols: Allow lookups by symbol name too

Configurable via symbol_conf.sort_by_name, so that the cost of an
extra rb_node on all 'struct symbol' instances is not paid by tools
that only want to decode addresses.

How to use it:

symbol_conf.sort_by_name = true;
symbol_init(&symbol_conf);

struct map *map = map_groups__find_by_name(kmaps, MAP__VARIABLE, "[kernel.kallsyms]");

if (map == NULL) {
pr_err("couldn't find map!\n");
kernel_maps__fprintf(stdout);
} else {
struct symbol *sym = map__find_symbol_by_name(map, sym_filter, NULL);
if (sym == NULL)
pr_err("couldn't find symbol %s!\n", sym_filter);
else
pr_info("symbol %s: %#Lx-%#Lx \n", sym_filter, sym->start, sym->end);
}

Looking over the vmlinux/kallsyms is common enough that I'll add a
variable to the upcoming struct perf_session to avoid the need to
use map_groups__find_by_name to get the main vmlinux/kallsyms map.

The above example looks on the 'variable' symtab, but it is just
like that for the functions one.

Also the sort operation is done when we first use
map__find_symbol_by_name, in a lazy way.

perf sched: Fix for getting task's execution time

In current code, task's execute time is got by reading
'/proc/<pid>/sched' file, it's wrong if the task is created
by pthread_create(), because every thread task has same pid.

This way also has two demerits:

 1: 'perf sched replay' can't work if the kernel is not
    compiled with the 'CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG' option

 2: perf tool should depend on proc file system

So, this patch uses PERF_COUNT_SW_TASK_CLOCK to get task's
execution time instead of reading /proc file.

Changelog v2 -> v3:
use PERF_COUNT_SW_TASK_CLOCK instead of rusage() as Ingo's
suggestion

hw-breakpoints: Modify breakpoints without unregistering them

Currently, when ptrace needs to modify a breakpoint, like disabling
it, changing its address, type or len, it calls
modify_user_hw_breakpoint(). This latter will perform the heavy and
racy task of unregistering the old breakpoint and registering a new
one.

This is racy as someone else might steal the reserved breakpoint
slot under us, which is undesired as the breakpoint is only
supposed to be modified, sometimes in the middle of a debugging
workflow. We don't want our slot to be stolen in the middle.

So instead of unregistering/registering the breakpoint, just
disable it while we modify its breakpoint fields and re-enable it
after if necessary.

Fix add-probe command syntax without --add option.
perf-probe supports add-probe command without --add

e.g.

perf probe func arg1 arg2

hw-breakpoints: Fix task-bound breakpoint slot allocation

Whatever the context nature of a breakpoint, we always perform the
following constraint checks before allocating it a slot:

- Check the number of pinned breakpoint bound the concerned cpus
- Check the max number of task-bound breakpoints that are belonging
  to a task.
- Add both and see if we have a reamining slot for the new breakpoint

This is the right thing to do when we are about to register a cpu-only
bound breakpoint. But not if we are dealing with a task bound
breakpoint. What we want in this case is:

- Check the number of pinned breakpoint bound the concerned cpus
- Check the number of breakpoints that already belong to the task
  in which the breakpoint to register is bound to.
- Add both

This fixes a regression that makes the "firefox -g" command fail to

14 years agox86: Fixup wrong irq frame link in stacktraces
Frederic Weisbecker [Sun, 6 Dec 2009 04:34:27 +0000 (05:34 +0100)]
x86: Fixup wrong irq frame link in stacktraces

When we enter in irq, two things can happen to preserve the link
to the previous frame pointer:

- If we were in an irq already, we don't switch to the irq stack
  as we are inside. We just need to save the previous frame
  pointer and to link the new one to the previous.

- Otherwise we need another level of indirection. We enter the irq with
  the previous stack. We save the previous bp inside and make bp
  pointing to its saved address. Then we switch to the irq stack and
  push bp another time but to the new stack. This makes two levels to
  dereference instead of one.

In the second case, the current stacktrace code omits the second level
and loses the frame pointer accuracy. The stack that follows will then
be considered as unreliable.

Handling that makes the perf callchain happier.

14 years agox86: Fixup wrong debug exception frame link in stacktraces
Frederic Weisbecker [Sat, 5 Dec 2009 23:52:56 +0000 (00:52 +0100)]
x86: Fixup wrong debug exception frame link in stacktraces

While dumping a stacktrace, the end of the exception stack won't link
the frame pointer to the previous stack.

The interrupted stack will then be considered as unreliable and ignored
by perf, as the frame pointer is unreliable itself.

This happens because we overwrite the frame pointer that links to the
interrupted frame with the address of the exception stack. This is
done in order to reserve space inside.
But rbp has been chosen here only because it is not a scratch register,
so that the address of the exception stack remains in rbp after calling
do_debug(), we can then release the exception stack space without the
need to retrieve its address again.

But we can pick another non-scratch register to do that, so that we
preserve the link to the interrupted stack frame in the stacktraces.

Just randomly choose r12. Every registers are saved just before and
restored just after calling do_debug(). And r12 is not used in the
middle, which makes it a perfect candidate.
