uprobes: Introduce uprobe->register_rwsem

Introduce uprobe->register_rwsem. It is taken for writing around
__uprobe_register/unregister.

Change handler_chain() to use this sem rather than consumer_rwsem.

The main reason for this change is that we have the nasty problem
with mmap_sem/consumer_rwsem dependency. filter_chain() needs to
protect uprobe->consumers like handler_chain(), but they can not
use the same lock. filter_chain() can be called under ->mmap_sem
(currently this is always true), but we want to allow ->handler()
to play with the probed task's memory, and this needs ->mmap_sem.

Alternatively we could use srcu, but synchronize_srcu() is very
slow and ->register_rwsem allows us to do more. In particular, we
can teach handler_chain() to do remove_breakpoint() if this bp is
"nacked" by all consumers, we know that we can't race with the
new consumer which does uprobe_register().

See also the next patches. uprobes_mutex[] is almost ready to die.

we need to install the previously nacked breakpoints.

- uprobes_mutex[] should die, what it actually protects is
  alloc_uprobe().

- UPROBE_RUN_HANDLER should die too, obviously it can't work
  unless uprobe has a single consumer. The consumer should
  serialize with _register/_unregister itself. Or this flag
  should live in uprobe_consumer->state.

- Perhaps we can do some optimizations later. For example, if
  filter_chain() never returns false uprobe can record this
  fact and avoid the unnecessary register_for_each_vma().

Until then it works as if any consumer returns true, this matches the
current behavior.

Change install_breakpoint() to call filter_chain() instead of checking
uprobe->consumers != NULL. We obviously need this, and this equally
closes the race with _unregister().

Change remove_breakpoint() to call this helper too. Currently this is

This is bizarre because the event has already been processed once --
before it was added to the samples queue -- and the event was found to
be sane at that time.

There seem to be 2 causes:

1. perf_evlist__mmap_read updates the read location even though there
are outstanding references to events sitting in the mmap buffers via the
ordered samples queue.

2. There is a single evlist->event_copy for all evlist entries.
event_copy is used to handle an event wrapping at the mmap buffer
boundary.

This patch addresses the second problem - making event_copy local to
each perf_mmap. With this change my highly repeatable use case no longer
fails.

The first problem is much more complicated and will be the subject of a
future patch.

  As you can see the Overhead column now contains both of ref-cycles and
  cycles and header line shows group information also - 'anon group {
  ref-cycles, cycles }'.  The output is sorted by period of group leader
  first.

  If perf.data file doesn't contain group information, this --group

    group = true

  It can be overridden with command line if you want:

perf: Add 'perf bench numa mem' NUMA performance measurement suite

Add a suite of NUMA performance benchmarks.

The goal was simulate the behavior and access patterns of real NUMA
workloads, via a wide range of parameters, so this tool goes well
beyond simple bzero() measurements that most NUMA micro-benchmarks use:

 - It processes the data and creates a chain of data dependencies,
   like a real workload would. Neither the compiler, nor the
   kernel (via KSM and other optimizations) nor the CPU can
   eliminate parts of the workload.

 - It randomizes the initial state and also randomizes the target
   addresses of the processing - it's not a simple forward scan
   of addresses.

 - It provides flexible options to set process, thread and memory
   relationship information: -G sets "global" memory shared between
   all test processes, -P sets "process" memory shared by all
   threads of a process and -T sets "thread" private memory.

 - There's a NUMA convergence monitoring and convergence latency
   measurement option via -c and -m.

 - Micro-sleeps and synchronization can be injected to provoke lock
   contention and scheduling, via the -u and -S options. This simulates
   IO and contention.

 - The -x option instructs the workload to 'perturb' itself artificially
   every N seconds, by moving to the first and last CPU of the system
   periodically. This way the stability of convergence equilibrium and
   the number of steps taken for the scheduler to reach equilibrium again
   can be measured.

 - The amount of work can be specified via the -l loop count, and/or
   via a -s seconds-timeout value.

 - CPU and node memory binding options, to test hard binding scenarios.
   THP can be turned on and off via madvise() calls.

 - Live reporting of convergence progress in an 'at glance' output format.
   Printing of convergence and deconvergence events.

The 'perf bench numa mem -a' option will start an array of about 30

11 years agotracing/fgraph: Adjust fgraph depth before calling trace return callback
Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) [Tue, 29 Jan 2013 22:30:31 +0000 (17:30 -0500)]
tracing/fgraph: Adjust fgraph depth before calling trace return callback

While debugging the virtual cputime with the function graph tracer
with a max_depth of 1 (most common use of the max_depth so far),
I found that I was missing kernel execution because of a race condition.

The code for the return side of the function has a slight race:

ftrace_pop_return_trace(&trace, &ret, frame_pointer);
trace.rettime = trace_clock_local();
ftrace_graph_return(&trace);
barrier();
current->curr_ret_stack--;

The ftrace_pop_return_trace() initializes the trace structure for
the callback. The ftrace_graph_return() uses the trace structure
for its own use as that structure is on the stack and is local
to this function. Then the curr_ret_stack is decremented which
is what the trace.depth is set to.

If an interrupt comes in after the ftrace_graph_return() but
before the curr_ret_stack, then the called function will get
a depth of 2. If max_depth is set to 1 this function will be
ignored.

The problem is that the trace has already been called, and the
timestamp for that trace will not reflect the time the function
was about to re-enter userspace. Calls to the interrupt will not
be traced because the max_depth has prevented this.

To solve this issue, the ftrace_graph_return() can safely be
moved after the current->curr_ret_stack has been updated.
This way the timestamp for the return callback will reflect
the actual time.

If an interrupt comes in after the curr_ret_stack update and
ftrace_graph_return(), it will be traced. It may look a little
confusing to see it within the other function, but at least
it will not be lost.

Only the trace_event code should use the tracepoint interface
directly and no new tracepoints should be added.

Besides, the example had a race condition with the use of the

Best just to remove the code so it wont be used by other developers.

So remove the script until it can be reworked using the new workqueue
tracepoints.

11 years agoperf script: hook up perf_scripting_context->pevent
Tom Zanussi [Fri, 18 Jan 2013 19:51:27 +0000 (13:51 -0600)]
perf script: hook up perf_scripting_context->pevent

Running the check-perf-trace scripts causes segfaults in both the Perl
and Python cases:

  # perf script record check-perf-trace
  # perf script -s libexec/perf-core/scripts/python/check-perf-trace.py
  trace_begin
  Segmentation fault (core dumped)

The reason is that the 'pevent' field was added to
perf_scripting_context but it wasn't hooked up with an actual pevent in
either case, so when one of the 'common' fields is accessed (in
util/trace-event-parse.c:get_common_fields()), pevent->events tries to
dereference a NULL pointer.

This sets the pevent field when the scripting context is set up.

11 years agoperf script: Don't display trace info when invoking scripts
Tom Zanussi [Fri, 18 Jan 2013 19:51:26 +0000 (13:51 -0600)]
perf script: Don't display trace info when invoking scripts

Only display the trace info if using the default event display.  When
invoking scripts we assume they have complete control of what's
displayed so we shouldn't unconditionally display the trace info, and
when generating scripts we don't expect to see trace info obscuring the
output message.
