perf/ring-buffer: Use regular variables for nesting

2019-05-24T07:00:11Z

While the IRQ/NMI will nest, the nest-count will be invariant over the actual exception, since it will decrement equal to increment. This means we can -- carefully -- use a regular variable since the typical LOAD-STORE race doesn't exist (similar to preempt_count). This optimizes the ring-buffer for all LOAD-STORE architectures, since they need to use atomic ops to implement local_t.

perf/ring-buffer: Always use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() for rb->user_page data

2019-05-24T07:00:11Z

We must use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() on rb->user_page data such that concurrent usage will see whole values. A few key sites were missing this.

perf/ring_buffer: Add ordering to rb->nest increment

2019-05-24T07:00:10Z

Similar to how decrementing rb->next too early can cause data_head to (temporarily) be observed to go backward, so too can this happen when we increment too late. This barrier() ensures the rb->head load happens after the increment, both the one in the 'goto again' path, as the one from perf_output_get_handle() -- albeit very unlikely to matter for the latter.

perf/ring_buffer: Fix exposing a temporarily decreased data_head

2019-05-24T07:00:10Z

In perf_output_put_handle(), an IRQ/NMI can happen in below location and write records to the same ring buffer: ... local_dec_and_test(&rb->nest) ... <-- an IRQ/NMI can happen here rb->user_page->data_head = head; ... In this case, a value A is written to data_head in the IRQ, then a value B is written to data_head after the IRQ. And A > B. As a result, data_head is temporarily decreased from A to B. And a reader may see data_head < data_tail if it read the buffer frequently enough, which creates unexpected behaviors. This can be fixed by moving dec(&rb->nest) to after updating data_head, which prevents the IRQ/NMI above from updating data_head.

perf/ring_buffer: Fix AUX software double buffering

2019-05-03T10:46:10Z

This recent commit: 5768402fd9c6e87 ("perf/ring_buffer: Use high order allocations for AUX buffers optimistically") overlooked the fact that the previous one page granularity of the AUX buffer provided an implicit double buffering capability to the PMU driver, which went away when the entire buffer became one high-order page. Always make the full-trace mode AUX allocation at least two-part to preserve the previous behavior and allow the implicit double buffering to continue.

perf/ring_buffer: Fix AUX record suppression

2019-04-16T10:13:57Z

The following commit: 1627314fb54a33e ("perf: Suppress AUX/OVERWRITE records") has an unintended side-effect of also suppressing all AUX records with no flags and non-zero size, so all the regular records in the full trace mode. This breaks some use cases for people. Fix this by restoring "regular" AUX records.

perf/core: Fix perf_event_disable_inatomic() race

2019-04-12T06:55:55Z

Thomas-Mich Richter reported he triggered a WARN()ing from event_function_local() on his s390. The problem boils down to: CPU-A CPU-B perf_event_overflow() perf_event_disable_inatomic() @pending_disable = 1 irq_work_queue(); sched-out event_sched_out() @pending_disable = 0 sched-in perf_event_overflow() perf_event_disable_inatomic() @pending_disable = 1; irq_work_queue(); // FAILS irq_work_run() perf_pending_event() if (@pending_disable) perf_event_disable_local(); // WHOOPS The problem exists in generic, but s390 is particularly sensitive because it doesn't implement arch_irq_work_raise(), nor does it call irq_work_run() from it's PMU interrupt handler (nor would that be sufficient in this case, because s390 also generates perf_event_overflow() from pmu::stop). Add to that the fact that s390 is a virtual architecture and (virtual) CPU-A can stall long enough for the above race to happen, even if it would self-IPI. Adding a irq_work_sync() to event_sched_in() would work for all hardare PMUs that properly use irq_work_run() but fails for software PMUs. Instead encode the CPU number in @pending_disable, such that we can tell which CPU requested the disable. This then allows us to detect the above scenario and even redirect the IPI to make up for the failed queue.

perf/ring_buffer: Use high order allocations for AUX buffers optimistically

2019-03-09T13:10:30Z

Currently, the AUX buffer allocator will use high-order allocations for PMUs that don't support hardware scatter-gather chaining to ensure large contiguous blocks of pages, and always use an array of single pages otherwise. There is, however, a tangible performance benefit in using larger chunks of contiguous memory even in the latter case, that comes from not having to fetch the next page's address at every page boundary. In particular, a task running under Intel PT on an Atom CPU shows 1.5%-2% less runtime penalty with a single multi-page output region in snapshot mode (no PMI) than with multiple single-page output regions, from ~6% down to ~4%. For the snapshot mode it does make a difference as it is intended to run over long periods of time. For this reason, change the allocation policy to always optimistically start with the highest possible order when allocating pages for the AUX buffer, desceding until the allocation succeeds or order zero allocation fails.
