perf_counter: powerpc: Fix race causing "oops trying to read PMC0" errors

When using interrupting counters and limited (non-interrupting)
counters at the same time, it's possible that we get an
interrupt in write_mmcr0() after writing MMCR0 but before we
have set up the counters using limited PMCs.  What happens then
is that we get into perf_counter_interrupt() with
counter->hw.idx = 0 for the limited counters, leading to the
"oops trying to read PMC0" error message being printed.

This fixes the problem by making perf_counter_interrupt()
robust against counter->hw.idx being zero (the counter is just
ignored in that case) and also by changing write_mmcr0() to
write MMCR0 initially with the counter overflow interrupt
enable bits masked (set to 0).  If the MMCR0 value requested by
the caller has either of those bits set, we write MMCR0 again
with the requested value of those bits after setting up the
limited counters properly.

Commit ef923214 ("perf_counter: powerpc: use u64 for event

function find_alternative_bdecode gets put into a u64 variable
and later tested to see if it is < 0.  The effect is that we
get extra, bogus event code alternatives on POWER5 and POWER5+,
leading to error messages such as "oops compute_mmcr failed"
being printed and counters not counting properly.

This fixes it by using s64 for the return type of
find_alternative_bdecode and for the local variable that the
caller puts the value in.  It also makes the event argument a
u64 on POWER5+ for consistency.

perf_counter: Fix cpu migration counter

This fixes the cpu migration software counter to count
correctly even when contexts get swapped from one task to
another.  Previously the cpu migration counts reported by perf
stat were bogus, ranging from negative to several thousand for
a single "lat_ctx 2 8 32" run.  With this patch the cpu
migration count reported for "lat_ctx 2 8 32" is almost always
between 35 and 44.

This fixes the problem by adding a call into the perf_counter
code from set_task_cpu when tasks are migrated.  This enables
us to use the generic swcounter code (with some modifications)
for the cpu migration counter.

This modifies the swcounter code to allow a NULL regs pointer
to be passed in to perf_swcounter_ctx_event() etc.  The cpu
migration counter does this because there isn't necessarily a
pt_regs struct for the task available.  In this case, the
counter will not have interrupt capability - but the migration
counter didn't have interrupt capability before, so this is no
loss.

perf_counter: Initialize per-cpu context earlier on cpu up

This arranges for perf_counter's notifier for cpu hotplug
operations to be called earlier than the migration notifier in
sched.c by increasing its priority to 20, compared to the 10
for the migration notifier.  The reason for doing this is that
a subsequent commit to convert the cpu migration counter to use
the generic swcounter infrastructure will add a call into the
perf_counter subsystem when tasks get migrated.  Therefore the
perf_counter subsystem needs a chance to initialize its per-cpu
data for the new cpu before it can get called from the
migration code.

This also adds a comment to the migration notifier noting that
its priority needs to be lower than that of the perf_counter
notifier.

15 years agoperf_counter: Allow software counters to count while task is not running
Paul Mackerras [Mon, 1 Jun 2009 07:49:14 +0000 (17:49 +1000)]
perf_counter: Allow software counters to count while task is not running

This changes perf_swcounter_match() so that per-task software
counters can count events that occur while their associated
task is not running.  This will allow us to use the generic
software counter code for counting task migrations, which can
occur while the task is not scheduled in.

To do this, we have to distinguish between the situations where
the counter is inactive because its task has been scheduled
out, and those where the counter is inactive because it is part
of a group that was not able to go on the PMU.  In the former
case we want the counter to count, but not in the latter case.
If the context is active, we have the latter case.  If the
context is inactive then we need to know whether the counter
was counting when the context was last active, which we can
determine by comparing its ->tstamp_stopped timestamp with the
context's timestamp.

This also folds three checks in perf_swcounter_match, checking
perf_event_raw(), perf_event_type() and perf_event_id()
individually, into a single 64-bit comparison on
counter->hw_event.config, as an optimization.

15 years agoperf_counter: Provide functions for locking and pinning the context for a task
Paul Mackerras [Mon, 1 Jun 2009 07:48:12 +0000 (17:48 +1000)]
perf_counter: Provide functions for locking and pinning the context for a task

This abstracts out the code for locking the context associated
with a task.  Because the context might get transferred from
one task to another concurrently, we have to check after
locking the context that it is still the right context for the
task and retry if not.  This was open-coded in
find_get_context() and perf_counter_init_task().

This adds a further function for pinning the context for a
task, i.e. marking it so it can't be transferred to another
task.  This adds a 'pin_count' field to struct
perf_counter_context to indicate that a context is pinned,
instead of the previous method of setting the parent_gen count
to all 1s.  Pinning the context with a pin_count is easier to
undo and doesn't require saving the parent_gen value.  This
also adds a perf_unpin_context() to undo the effect of
perf_pin_task_context() and changes perf_counter_init_task to
use it.

15 years agomm: account for MAP_SHARED mappings using VM_MAYSHARE and not VM_SHARED in hugetlbfs
Mel Gorman [Thu, 28 May 2009 21:34:40 +0000 (14:34 -0700)]
mm: account for MAP_SHARED mappings using VM_MAYSHARE and not VM_SHARED in hugetlbfs

Addresses http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13302

hugetlbfs reserves huge pages but does not fault them at mmap() time to
ensure that future faults succeed.  The reservation behaviour differs
depending on whether the mapping was mapped MAP_SHARED or MAP_PRIVATE.
For MAP_SHARED mappings, hugepages are reserved when mmap() is first
called and are tracked based on information associated with the inode.
Other processes mapping MAP_SHARED use the same reservation.  MAP_PRIVATE
track the reservations based on the VMA created as part of the mmap()
operation.  Each process mapping MAP_PRIVATE must make its own
reservation.

hugetlbfs currently checks if a VMA is MAP_SHARED with the VM_SHARED flag
and not VM_MAYSHARE.  For file-backed mappings, such as hugetlbfs,
VM_SHARED is set only if the mapping is MAP_SHARED and the file was opened
read-write.  If a shared memory mapping was mapped shared-read-write for
populating of data and mapped shared-read-only by other processes, then
hugetlbfs would account for the mapping as if it was MAP_PRIVATE.  This
causes processes to fail to map the file MAP_SHARED even though it should
succeed as the reservation is there.

This patch alters mm/hugetlb.c and replaces VM_SHARED with VM_MAYSHARE
when the intent of the code was to check whether the VMA was mapped
MAP_SHARED or MAP_PRIVATE.

15 years agox86: ignore VM_LOCKED when determining if hugetlb-backed page tables can be shared...
Mel Gorman [Thu, 28 May 2009 21:34:37 +0000 (14:34 -0700)]
x86: ignore VM_LOCKED when determining if hugetlb-backed page tables can be shared or not

Addresses http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13302

On x86 and x86-64, it is possible that page tables are shared beween
shared mappings backed by hugetlbfs.  As part of this,
page_table_shareable() checks a pair of vma->vm_flags and they must match
if they are to be shared.  All VMA flags are taken into account, including
VM_LOCKED.

The problem is that VM_LOCKED is cleared on fork().  When a process with a
shared memory segment forks() to exec() a helper, there will be shared
VMAs with different flags.  The impact is that the shared segment is
sometimes considered shareable and other times not, depending on what
process is checking.

What happens is that the segment page tables are being shared but the
count is inaccurate depending on the ordering of events.  As the page
tables are freed with put_page(), bad pmd's are found when some of the
children exit.  The hugepage counters also get corrupted and the Total and
Free count will no longer match even when all the hugepage-backed regions
are freed.  This requires a reboot of the machine to "fix".

This patch addresses the problem by comparing all flags except VM_LOCKED
when deciding if pagetables should be shared or not for hugetlbfs-backed
mapping.

mtd: MXC NAND driver fixes (v5)

The following patch fixes:
 - re-initialization of host->col_addr which is used as byte index
   between the successive READID flash commands.
 - compile error when CONFIG_PM is enabled
 - pass on the error code from clk_get()
 - return -ENOMEM in case of failed ioremap()
 - pass on the return value of platform_driver_probe() directly
 - remove excessive printk
 - let command line partition table parsing with mxc_nand name.
   The cmd_line parsing is done via <mtd-id> name that differs
   from mxc_nand by default and looks like "NAND 256MiB 1,8V 8-bit"

15 years agoperf_counter: Don't swap contexts containing locked mutex
Paul Mackerras [Fri, 29 May 2009 06:06:20 +0000 (16:06 +1000)]
perf_counter: Don't swap contexts containing locked mutex

Peter Zijlstra pointed out that under some circumstances, we can take
the mutex in a context or a counter and then swap that context or
counter to another task, potentially leading to lock order inversions
or the mutexes not protecting what they are supposed to protect.

This fixes the problem by making sure that we never take a mutex in a
context or counter which could get swapped to another task.  Most of
the cases where we take a mutex is on a top-level counter or context,
i.e. a counter which has an fd associated with it or a context that
contains such a counter.  This adds WARN_ON_ONCE statements to verify
that.

The two cases where we need to take the mutex on a context that is a
clone of another are in perf_counter_exit_task and
perf_counter_init_task.  The perf_counter_exit_task case is solved by
uncloning the context before starting to remove the counters from it.
The perf_counter_init_task is a little trickier; we temporarily
disable context swapping for the parent (forking) task by setting its
ctx->parent_gen to the all-1s value after locking the context, if it
is a cloned context, and restore the ctx->parent_gen value at the end
if the context didn't get uncloned in the meantime.

This also moves the increment of the context generation count to be
within the same critical section, protected by the context mutex, that
adds the new counter to the context.  That way, taking the mutex is
sufficient to ensure that both the counter list and the generation
count are stable.

perf_counter tools: Also display time-normalized stat results

Add new column that normalizes counter results by
'nanoseconds spent running' unit.

Before:

 Performance counter stats for '/home/mingo/hackbench':

   10469.403605  task clock ticks     (msecs)
          75502  context switches     (events)
           9501  CPU migrations       (events)
          36158  pagefaults           (events)
    31975676185  CPU cycles           (events)
    26257738659  instructions         (events)
      108740581  cache references     (events)
       54606088  cache misses         (events)

 Wall-clock time elapsed:   810.514504 msecs

After:

 Performance counter stats for '/home/mingo/hackbench':

   10469.403605  task clock ticks     (msecs)
          75502  context switches     #        0.007 M/sec
           9501  CPU migrations       #        0.001 M/sec
          36158  pagefaults           #        0.003 M/sec
    31975676185  CPU cycles           #     3054.202 M/sec
    26257738659  instructions         #     2508.045 M/sec
      108740581  cache references     #       10.387 M/sec
       54606088  cache misses         #        5.216 M/sec

 Wall-clock time elapsed:   810.514504 msecs

The advantage of that column is that it is characteristic of the
execution workflow, regardless of runtime. Hence 'hackbench 10'
will look similar to 'hackbench 15' - while the absolute counter
values are very different.
