12 years agotracing: Remove NR_CPUS array from trace_iterator
Steven Rostedt [Thu, 28 Jun 2012 00:46:14 +0000 (20:46 -0400)]
tracing: Remove NR_CPUS array from trace_iterator

Replace the NR_CPUS array of buffer_iter from the trace_iterator
with an allocated array. This will just create an array of
possible CPUS instead of the max number specified.

The use of NR_CPUS in that array caused allocation failures for
machines that were tight on memory. This did not cause any failures
to the system itself (no crashes), but caused unnecessary failures
for reading the trace files.

Added a helper function called 'trace_buffer_iter()' that returns
the buffer_iter item or NULL if it is not defined or the array was
not allocated. Some routines do not require the array
(tracing_open_pipe() for one).

12 years agotracing/kvm: Use __print_hex() for kvm_emulate_insn tracepoint
Namhyung Kim [Wed, 27 Jun 2012 00:41:39 +0000 (09:41 +0900)]
tracing/kvm: Use __print_hex() for kvm_emulate_insn tracepoint

The kvm_emulate_insn tracepoint used __print_insn()
for printing its instructions. However it makes the
format of the event hard to parse as it reveals TP
internals.

Fortunately, kernel provides __print_hex for almost
same purpose, we can use it instead of open coding
it. The user-space can be changed to parse it later.

That means raw kernel tracing will not be affected

perf/tool: Add support to reuse event grammar to parse out terms

The obvious reason is we dont need to add new code when there's
already support for this in event grammar.

Doing this by adding terms and event start entries into event
parse grammar. The grammar forks on the begining based on the
starting token, which is supplied via bison interface into the
lexer.  The lexer then returns the starting token as the first
token, thus making the grammar switch accordingly.

Currently 2 starting tokens/grammars are supported:

PE_START_TERMS, PE_START_EVENTS

The PE_START_TERMS related grammar uses 'event_config' part
of the grammar for term parsing.

"indefinitely" if register/unregister races with munmap/mmap
activity even if the number of mapping is bounded at any time.

With this patch register_for_each_vma() builds the list of
mm/vaddr structures only once and does install_breakpoint() for
each entry.

We do not care about the new mappings which can be created after
build_map_info() drops mapping->i_mmap_mutex, uprobe_mmap()
should do its work.

Note that we do not allocate map_info under i_mmap_mutex, this
can deadlock with page reclaim (but see the next patch). So we
use 2 lists, "curr" which we are going to return, and "prev"
which holds the already allocated memory. The main loop deques
the entry from "prev" (initially it is empty), and if "prev"
becomes empty again it counts the number of entries we need to
pre-allocate outside of i_mmap_mutex.

perf/x86: Fix broken LBR fixup code

I noticed that the LBR fixups were not working anymore
on programs where they used to. I tracked this down to
a recent change to copy_from_user_nmi():

 db0dc75d640 ("perf/x86: Check user address explicitly in copy_from_user_nmi()")

This commit added a call to __range_not_ok() to the
copy_from_user_nmi() routine. The problem is that the logic
of the test must be reversed. __range_not_ok() returns 0 if the
range is VALID. We want to return early from copy_from_user_nmi()
if the range is NOT valid.

12 years agoperf tools: Fix synthesizing tracepoint names from the perf.data headers

perf tools: Fix synthesizing tracepoint names from the perf.data headers

We need to use the per event info snapshoted at record time to
synthesize the events name, so do it just after reading the perf.data
headers, when we already processed the /sys events data, otherwise we'll
end up using the local /sys that only by sheer luck will have the same
tracepoint ID -> real event association.

Example:

  # uname -a
  Linux felicio.ghostprotocols.net 3.4.0-rc5+ #1 SMP Sat May 19 15:27:11 BRT 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
  # perf record -e sched:sched_switch usleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.015 MB perf.data (~648 samples) ]
  # cat /t/events/sched/sched_switch/id
  279
  # perf evlist -v
  sched:sched_switch: sample_freq=1, type: 2, config: 279, size: 80, sample_type: 1159, read_format: 7, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, enable_on_exec: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1
  #

So on the above machine the sched:sched_switch has tracepoint id 279, but on
the machine were we'll analyse it it has a different id:

  $ cat /t/events/sched/sched_switch/id
  56
  $ perf evlist -i /tmp/perf.data
  kmem:mm_balancedirty_writeout
  $ cat /t/events/kmem/mm_balancedirty_writeout/id
  279

With this fix:

  $ perf evlist -i /tmp/perf.data
  sched:sched_switch

perf stat: Fix default output file

The following commit:

commit 56f3bae70638b33477a6015fd362ccfe354fd3ee
Author: Jim Cromie <jim.cromie@gmail.com>
Date:   Wed Sep 7 17:14:00 2011 -0600

    perf stat: Add --log-fd <N> option to redirect stderr elsewhere

introduced a bug in the way perf stat outputs the results by default,
i.e., without the --log-fd or --output option. It would default to
writing to file descriptor 0, i.e., stdin. Writing to stdin is allowed
and is equivalent to writing to stdout. However, there is a major
difference for any script that was already capturing the output of perf
stat via redirection:

    perf stat >/tmp/log .... or perf stat 2>/tmp/log ....

They would not capture anything anymore. They would have to do:
    perf stat 0>/tmp/log ...

This breaks compatibility with existing scripts and does not look very
natural.

This patch fixes the problem by looking at output_fd only when it was
modified by user (> 0). It also checks that the value if positive.
Passing --log-fd 0 is ignored.

I would also argue that defaulting to stderr for the results is not the
right thing to do, though this patch does not address this specific
issue.

It incorrectly finds VGA connectors where none are attached, apparently
not noticing that nothing replied to the EDID queries, and happily using
the default EDID modes that have nothing to do with actual hardware.

That in turn then causes X to fall down to the lowest common

I'd suggest that if not relying on the HDP pin, the code should at least
check whether it gets valid EDID data back, rather than just assume
there's something on the VGA connector.

We're chasing an elusive bug that Dave Jones can apparently reproduce

other changes altohgether, including possibly just the fact that Dave
constantly is teachning his fuzzer new tricks.  So what appears to be a
new bug could in fact be an old one that just gets newly triggered, but
reverting these patches as "still under heavy discussion" is the right

To resolve this, I created a new #define,
register_nmi_handler_initonly, that tags the struct as
__initdata to resolve the mismatch.  This #define should only be
used in rare situations where the register/unregister is called

powerpc: Fix kernel panic during kernel module load

This fixes a problem which can causes kernel oopses while loading
a kernel module.

According to the PowerPC EABI specification, GPR r11 is assigned
the dedicated function to point to the previous stack frame.
In the powerpc-specific kernel module loader, do_plt_call()
(in arch/powerpc/kernel/module_32.c), GPR r11 is also used
to generate trampoline code.

This combination crashes the kernel, in the case where the compiler
chooses to use a helper function for saving GPRs on entry, and the
module loader has placed the .init.text section far away from the
.text section, meaning that it has to generate a trampoline for
functions in the .init.text section to call the GPR save helper.
Because the trampoline trashes r11, references to the stack frame
using r11 can cause an oops.

The fix just uses GPR r12 instead of GPR r11 for generating the
trampoline code.  According to the statements from Freescale, this is
safe from an EABI perspective.

I've tested the fix for kernel 2.6.33 on MPC8541.

It's horribly and utterly broken for at least the following reasons:

 - calling it *after* having done mmdrop() on it is doubly insane, since
   the mm struct may well be gone now.

 - testing mm against NULL before you call it is insane too, since a
NULL mm there would have caused oopses long before.

.. and those are just the three bugs I found before I decided to give up

Ext3 filesystems that are converted to use as many ext4 file system

These file systems will have a native ext3 layout of inode tables and

Unfortunately, in these cases, when first allocating a block in an
uninitialized block group, ext4 would incorrectly calculate the number
of free blocks in that block group, and then errorneously report that
the file system was corrupt:

EXT4-fs error (device vdd): ext4_mb_generate_buddy:741: group 30, 32254 clusters in bitmap, 32258 in gd

This problem can be reproduced via:

    mke2fs -q -t ext4 -O ^flex_bg /dev/vdd 5g
    mount -t ext4 /dev/vdd /mnt

mm: correctly synchronize rss-counters at exit/exec

mm->rss_stat counters have per-task delta: task->rss_stat.  Before
changing task->mm pointer the kernel must flush this delta with
sync_mm_rss().

do_exit() already calls sync_mm_rss() to flush the rss-counters before
committing the rss statistics into task->signal->maxrss, taskstats,
audit and other stuff.  Unfortunately the kernel does this before
calling mm_release(), which can call put_user() for processing
task->clear_child_tid.  So at this point we can trigger page-faults and
task->rss_stat becomes non-zero again.  As a result mm->rss_stat becomes
inconsistent and check_mm() will print something like this:

| BUG: Bad rss-counter state mm:ffff88020813c380 idx:1 val:-1
| BUG: Bad rss-counter state mm:ffff88020813c380 idx:2 val:1

This patch moves sync_mm_rss() into mm_release(), and moves mm_release()
out of do_exit() and calls it earlier.  After mm_release() there should
be no pagefaults.

12 years agobtree: catch NULL value before it does harm

btree: catch NULL value before it does harm

Storing NULL values in the btree is illegal and can lead to memory
corruption and possible other fun as well.  Catch it on insert, instead
of waiting for the inevitable.
