perf: correct SNOOPX field offset

2020-10-30T09:38:26Z

[ Upstream commit f3d301c1f2f5676465cdf3259737ea19cc82731f ] perf_event.h has macros that define the field offsets in the data_src bitmask in perf records. The SNOOPX and REMOTE offsets were both 37. These are distinct fields, and the bitfield layout in perf_mem_data_src confirms that SNOOPX should be at offset 38.

perf/UAPI: Clearly mark __PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN_EARLY as internal use

2018-09-10T08:03:02Z

Vince noted that commit: 6cbc304f2f36 ("perf/x86/intel: Fix unwind errors from PEBS entries (mk-II)") 'leaked' __PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN_EARLY into the UAPI namespace. And while sys_perf_event_open() will error out if you try to use it, it is exposed. Clearly mark it for internal use only to avoid any confusion.

perf/x86/intel: Fix unwind errors from PEBS entries (mk-II)

2018-07-25T09:46:21Z

Vince reported the perf_fuzzer giving various unwinder warnings and Josh reported: > Deja vu. Most of these are related to perf PEBS, similar to the > following issue: > > b8000586c90b ("perf/x86/intel: Cure bogus unwind from PEBS entries") > > This is basically the ORC version of that. setup_pebs_sample_data() is > assembling a franken-pt_regs which ORC isn't happy about. RIP is > inconsistent with some of the other registers (like RSP and RBP). And where the previous unwinder only needed BP,SP ORC also requires IP. But we cannot spoof IP because then the sample will get displaced, entirely negating the point of PEBS. So cure the whole thing differently by doing the unwind early; this does however require a means to communicate we did the unwind early. We (ab)use an unused sample_type bit for this, which we set on events that fill out the data->callchain before the normal perf_prepare_sample().

perf/core: Store context switch out type in PERF_RECORD_SWITCH[_CPU_WIDE]

2018-04-17T12:47:39Z

Store preempting context switch out event into Perf trace as a part of PERF_RECORD_SWITCH[_CPU_WIDE] record. Percentage of preempting and non-preempting context switches help understanding the nature of workloads (CPU or IO bound) that are running on a machine; The event is treated as preemption one when task->state value of the thread being switched out is TASK_RUNNING. Event type encoding is implemented using PERF_RECORD_MISC_SWITCH_OUT_PREEMPT bit; Signed-off-by: Alexey Budankov Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: Alexander Shishkin Cc: Andi Kleen Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Namhyung Kim Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/9ff84e83-a0ca-dd82-a6d0-cb951689be74@linux.intel.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf/core: Implement fast breakpoint modification via _IOC_MODIFY_ATTRIBUTES

2018-03-13T14:24:02Z

Problem and motivation: Once a breakpoint perf event (PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT) is created, there is no flexibility to change the breakpoint type (bp_type), breakpoint address (bp_addr), or breakpoint length (bp_len). The only option is to close the perf event and configure a new breakpoint event. This inflexibility has a significant performance overhead. For example, sampling-based, lightweight performance profilers (and also concurrency bug detection tools), monitor different addresses for a short duration using PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT and change the address (bp_addr) to another address or change the kind of breakpoint (bp_type) from "write" to a "read" or vice-versa or change the length (bp_len) of the address being monitored. The cost of these modifications is prohibitive since it involves unmapping the circular buffer associated with the perf event, closing the perf event, opening another perf event and mmaping another circular buffer. Solution: The new ioctl flag for perf events, PERF_EVENT_IOC_MODIFY_ATTRIBUTES, introduced in this patch takes a pointer to a struct perf_event_attr as an argument to update an old breakpoint event with new address, type, and size. This facility allows retaining a previous mmaped perf events ring buffer and avoids having to close and reopen another perf event. This patch supports only changing PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT event type; future implementations can extend this feature. The patch replicates some of its functionality of modify_user_hw_breakpoint() in kernel/events/hw_breakpoint.c. modify_user_hw_breakpoint cannot be called directly since perf_event_ctx_lock() is already held in _perf_ioctl(). Evidence: Experiments show that the baseline (not able to modify an already created breakpoint) costs an order of magnitude (~10x) more than the suggested optimization (having the ability to dynamically modifying a configured breakpoint via ioctl). When the breakpoints typically do not trap, the speedup due to the suggested optimization is ~10x; even when the breakpoints always trap, the speedup is ~4x due to the suggested optimization. Testing: tests posted at https://github.com/linux-contrib/perf_event_modify_bp demonstrate the performance significance of this patch. Tests also check the functional correctness of the patch.

perf/core: Prepare perf_event.h for new types: 'perf_kprobe' and 'perf_uprobe'

2018-02-06T09:18:04Z

Two new perf types, perf_kprobe and perf_uprobe, will be added to allow creating [k,u]probe with perf_event_open. These [k,u]probe are associated with the file decriptor created by perf_event_open(), thus are easy to clean when the file descriptor is destroyed. kprobe_func and uprobe_path are added to union config1 for pointers to function name for kprobe or binary path for uprobe. kprobe_addr and probe_offset are added to union config2 for kernel address (when kprobe_func is NULL), or [k,u]probe offset.
