Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo-

Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
User visible changes:
- Allow generate timestamped suffixed multiple perf.data files upon receiving
SIGUSR2 in 'perf record', to slice a long running monitoring session, allowing
to dump uninteresting sessions (Wang Nan)
- Handle ENOMEM for perf_event_max_stack + PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN
in perf_evsel__open_strerror(), showing a more informative
message when the request call stack depth can't be allocated by
the kernel (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
Infrastructure changes:
- Use strbuf for making strings in 'perf probe' (Masami Hiramatsu)
- Do not use sizeof on pointer type, not a problem since its a pointer to
pointer, fix none the less. Found by Coccinelle (Vaishali Thakkar)
Cleanups:
- Fix for Coverity found issues in the bpf feature build test (Florian Fainelli)

perf tests: Do not use sizeof on pointer type
Using sizeof on a malloced pointer type will return the wordsize which
can often cause one to allocate a buffer much smaller than it is needed.
So, here do not use sizeof on pointer type.
Note that this has no effect on runtime because 'dsos' is a pointer to a
pointer.
Problem found using Coccinelle.

perf record: Generate tracking events for process forked by perf
With 'perf record --switch-output' without -a, record__synthesize() in
record__switch_output() won't generate tracking events because there's
no thread_map in evlist. Which causes newly created perf.data doesn't
contain map and comm information.
This patch creates a fake thread_map and directly call
perf_event__synthesize_thread_map() for those events.

perf record: Disable buildid cache options by default in switch output mode
The cost of buildid cache processing is high: reading all events in
output perf.data, opening each elf file to read buildids then copying
them into ~/.debug directory. In switch output mode, these heavy works
block perf from receiving perf events for too long.
Enable no-buildid and no-buildid-cache by default if --switch-output is
provided. Still allow user use --no-no-buildid to explicitly enable

powercap, perf/x86/intel/rapl: Add PSys support
Skylake processor supports a new set of RAPL registers for controlling
entire SoC instead of just CPU package. This is useful for thermal
and power control when source of power/thermal is not just CPU/GPU.
This change adds a new platform domain (AKA PSys) to the current
power capping Intel RAPL driver.
PSys also supports PL1 (long term) and PL2 (short term) control like
package domain. This also follows same MSRs for energy and time
units as package domain.
Unlike package domain, PSys support requires more than just processor
level implementation. The other parts in the system need additional
implementation, which OEMs needs to support. So not all Skylake
systems will support PSys.

This patch fixes a bug which was introduced by:

In this patch, lbr_sel_mask is used to mask the lbr_select. But LBR_SEL_MASK
doesn't include the bit for LBR_CALL_STACK. So LBR call stack will never be
set in lbr_select.
This patch corrects the LBR_SEL_MASK by including all valid bits in
LBR_SELECT. Also, the LBR_CALL_STACK bit is different as other bit in
LBR_SELECT. It does not operate in suppress mode, so it needs to be
specially handled in intel_pmu_setup_hw_lbr_filter.

perf_install_in_context()

Fix this by wrapping lots of perf_event_open() in cred_guard_mutex.
This should be fine as perf_event_exit_task() is already called with

perf tools: Set the maximum allowed stack from /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_stack
There is an upper limit to what tooling considers a valid callchain,
and it was tied to the hardcoded value in the kernel,
PERF_MAX_STACK_DEPTH (127), now that this can be tuned via a sysctl,
make it read it and use that as the upper limit, falling back to
PERF_MAX_STACK_DEPTH for kernels where this sysctl isn't present.

perf core: Allow setting up max frame stack depth via sysctl
The default remains 127, which is good for most cases, and not even hit
most of the time, but then for some cases, as reported by Brendan, 1024+
deep frames are appearing on the radar for things like groovy, ruby.
And in some workloads putting a _lower_ cap on this may make sense. One
that is per event still needs to be put in place tho.
The new file is:
# cat /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_stack
127
Chaging it:
# echo 256 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_stack
# cat /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_stack
256
But as soon as there is some event using callchains we get:
# echo 512 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_stack
-bash: echo: write error: Device or resource busy
#
Because we only allocate the callchain percpu data structures when there
is a user, which allows for changing the max easily, its just a matter
of having no callchain users at that point.

perf trace: Read thread's COMM from /proc when not set
We get notifications for threads that gets created while we're tracing,
but for preexisting threads we may end not having synthesized them, like
when tracing a 'perf trace' session that will use '--pid' to trace some
other thread.
And besides we should probably stop synthesizing those records and
instead read thread information in a lazy way, i.e. just when we need,
like done in this patch:
Now the 'pid_t' argument in 'perf_event_open' gets translated to a COMM:
# perf trace -e perf_event_open perf stat -e cycles -p 31601
0.027 ( 0.027 ms): perf/23393 perf_event_open(attr_uptr: 0x2fdd0d8, pid: 31601 (abrt-dump-journ), cpu: -1, group_fd: -1, flags: FD_CLOEXEC)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
= 3
^C
And in other syscalls containing pid_t without thread->comm_set at the
time of the formatting.

a code that is INTEL_PT_ERR_MAX will cause the strlcpy to perform an out
of bounds array access on the intel_pt_err_msgs array.
Fix this with a >= comparison.

perf script: Fix segfault when printing callchains
This fixes a bug caused by an unitialized callchain cursor. The crash
frist appeared in:
6f736735e30f ("perf evsel: Require that callchains be resolved before
calling fprintf_{sym,callchain}")
The callchain cursor is a struct that contains pointers, that when
uninitialized will cause unpredictable behavior (usually a crash)
when trying to append to the callchain.
The existing implementation has the following issues:
1. The callchain cursor used is not initialized, resulting in
unpredictable behavior when used.
2. The cursor is declared on the stack. Even if it is properly initalized,
the implmentation will leak memory when the function returns,
since all the references to the callchain_nodes allocated by
callchain_cursor_append will be lost when the cursor goes out of
scope.
3. Storing the cursor on the stack is inefficient. Even if memory is
properly freed when it goes out of scope, a performance penalty
will be incurred due to reallocation of callchain nodes.
callchain_cursor_append is designed to avoid these reallocations
when an existing cursor is reused.
This patch fixes the crash by replacing cursor_callchain with a reference
to the global callchain_cursor which also resolves all 3 issues mentioned
above.
How to reproduce the crash:
$ perf record --call-graph=dwarf stress -t 1 -c 1

perf/core: Add ::write_backward attribute to perf event
This patch introduces 'write_backward' bit to perf_event_attr, which
controls the direction of a ring buffer. After set, the corresponding
ring buffer is written from end to beginning. This feature is design to
support reading from overwritable ring buffer.
Ring buffer can be created by mapping a perf event fd. Kernel puts event
records into ring buffer, user tooling like perf fetch them from
address returned by mmap(). To prevent racing between kernel and tooling,
they communicate to each other through 'head' and 'tail' pointers.
Kernel maintains 'head' pointer, points it to the next free area (tail
of the last record). Tooling maintains 'tail' pointer, points it to the
tail of last consumed record (record has already been fetched). Kernel
determines the available space in a ring buffer using these two
pointers to avoid overwrite unfetched records.
By mapping without 'PROT_WRITE', an overwritable ring buffer is created.
Different from normal ring buffer, tooling is unable to maintain 'tail'
pointer because writing is forbidden. Therefore, for this type of ring
buffers, kernel overwrite old records unconditionally, works like flight
recorder. This feature would be useful if reading from overwritable ring
buffer were as easy as reading from normal ring buffer. However,
there's an obscure problem.
The following figure demonstrates a full overwritable ring buffer. In
this figure, the 'head' pointer points to the end of last record, and a
long record 'E' is pending. For a normal ring buffer, a 'tail' pointer
would have pointed to position (X), so kernel knows there's no more
space in the ring buffer. However, for an overwritable ring buffer,
kernel ignore the 'tail' pointer.
(X) head
. |
. V
+------+-------+----------+------+---+
|A....A|B.....B|C........C|D....D| |
+------+-------+----------+------+---+
Record 'A' is overwritten by event 'E':
head
|
V
+--+---+-------+----------+------+---+
|.E|..A|B.....B|C........C|D....D|E..|
+--+---+-------+----------+------+---+
Now tooling decides to read from this ring buffer. However, none of these
two natural positions, 'head' and the start of this ring buffer, are
pointing to the head of a record. Even the full ring buffer can be
accessed by tooling, it is unable to find a position to start decoding.
The first attempt tries to solve this problem AFAIK can be found from
[1]. It makes kernel to maintain 'tail' pointer: updates it when ring
buffer is half full. However, this approach introduces overhead to
fast path. Test result shows a 1% overhead [2]. In addition, this method
utilizes no more tham 50% records.
Another attempt can be found from [3], which allows putting the size of
an event at the end of each record. This approach allows tooling to find
records in a backward manner from 'head' pointer by reading size of a
record from its tail. However, because of alignment requirement, it
needs 8 bytes to record the size of a record, which is a huge waste. Its
performance is also not good, because more data need to be written.
This approach also introduces some extra branch instructions to fast
path.
'write_backward' is a better solution to this problem.
Following figure demonstrates the state of the overwritable ring buffer
when 'write_backward' is set before overwriting:
head
|
V
+---+------+----------+-------+------+
| |D....D|C........C|B.....B|A....A|
+---+------+----------+-------+------+
and after overwriting:
head
|
V
+---+------+----------+-------+---+--+
|..E|D....D|C........C|B.....B|A..|E.|
+---+------+----------+-------+---+--+
In each situation, 'head' points to the beginning of the newest record.
From this record, tooling can iterate over the full ring buffer and fetch
records one by one.
The only limitation that needs to be considered is back-to-back reading.
Due to the non-deterministic of user programs, it is impossible to ensure
the ring buffer keeps stable during reading. Consider an extreme situation:
tooling is scheduled out after reading record 'D', then a burst of events
come, eat up the whole ring buffer (one or multiple rounds). When the
tooling process comes back, reading after 'D' is incorrect now.
To prevent this problem, we need to find a way to ensure the ring buffer
is stable during reading. ioctl(PERF_EVENT_IOC_PAUSE_OUTPUT) is
suggested because its overhead is lower than
ioctl(PERF_EVENT_IOC_ENABLE).
By carefully verifying 'header' pointer, reader can avoid pausing the
ring-buffer. For example:
/* A union of all possible events */
union perf_event event;
p = head = perf_mmap__read_head();
while (true) {
/* copy header of next event */
fetch(&event.header, p, sizeof(event.header));
/* read 'head' pointer */
head = perf_mmap__read_head();
/* check overwritten: is the header good? */
if (!verify(sizeof(event.header), p, head))
break;
/* copy the whole event */
fetch(&event, p, event.header.size);
/* read 'head' pointer again */
head = perf_mmap__read_head();
/* is the whole event good? */
if (!verify(event.header.size, p, head))
break;
p += event.header.size;
}
However, the overhead is high because:
a) In-place decoding is not safe.
Copying-verifying-decoding is required.
b) Fetching 'head' pointer requires additional synchronization.
(From Alexei Starovoitov:
Even when this trick works, pause is needed for more than stability of
reading. When we collect the events into overwrite buffer we're waiting
for some other trigger (like all cpu utilization spike or just one cpu
running and all others are idle) and when it happens the buffer has
valuable info from the past. At this point new events are no longer
interesting and buffer should be paused, events read and unpaused until
next trigger comes.)
This patch utilizes event's default overflow_handler introduced
previously. perf_event_output_backward() is created as the default
overflow handler for backward ring buffers. To avoid extra overhead to
fast path, original perf_event_output() becomes __perf_event_output()
and marked '__always_inline'. In theory, there's no extra overhead
introduced to fast path.
Performance testing:
Calling
3000000 times of 'close(-1)', use gettimeofday() to check
duration. Use 'perf record -o /dev/null -e raw_syscalls:*' to capture
system calls. In ns.
Testing environment:
CPU : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4790 CPU @ 3.60GHz
Kernel : v4.5.0
MEAN STDVAR
BASE 800214.950 2853.083
PRE1
2253846.700 9997.014
PRE2
2257495.540 8516.293
POST
2250896.100 8933.921
Where 'BASE' is pure performance without capturing. 'PRE1' is test
result of pure 'v4.5.0' kernel. 'PRE2' is test result before this
patch. 'POST' is test result after this patch. See [4] for the detailed
experimental setup.
Considering the stdvar, this patch doesn't introduce performance
overhead to the fast path.

perf/x86/intel: Add Goldmont CPU support
Add perf core PMU support for Intel Goldmont CPU cores:
- The init code is based on Silvermont.
- There is a new cache event list, based on the Silvermont cache event list.
- Goldmont has 32 LBR entries. It also uses new LBRv6 format, which
report the cycle information using upper 16-bit of the LBR_TO.
- It's recommended to use CPU_CLK_UNHALTED.CORE_P + NPEBS for precise cycles.

perf symbols: Allow loading kallsyms without considering kcore files
Before the support for using /proc/kcore was introduced, the kallsyms
routines used /proc/modules and the first 'perf test' entry expected
finding maps for each module in the system, which is not the case with
the kcore code. Provide a way to ignore kcore files so that the test can
have its expectations met.
Improving the test to cover kcore files as well needs to be done.

Pull perf/core improvements from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
User visible changes:
- Wire the callchain unwinding "max-stack" now to 'perf script --max-stack',
allowing to limit the depth of callchains, possibly reducing processing
time (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Ditto for 'perf trace --max-stack' (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Introduce a --min-stack filter for 'perf trace', to show syscalls that
had a userspace callchain leading to it at least min-stack deep (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Make 'perf trace' work with multiple threads and the --duration filter,
i.e. do not print the start of an interrupted syscall followed by ...
to print interrupts from other threads, as we need to wait the sys_exit
syscall tracepoint to calculate the duration, duh. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
System wide --duration now works as expected:
[root@jouet ~]# trace --duration 100
