Wang Nan f6fcc1433a perf report: Don't call map__kmap if map is NULL.
report__warn_kptr_restrict() calls map__kmap(kernel_map) before checking
kernel_map againest NULL.

Which is dangerous, since map__kmap() will return a invalid and not NULL
address.

It will trigger a warning message in map__kmap() after the patch "perf:
kmaps: enforce usage of kmaps to protect futher bugs." was applied.

This patch fixes it by adding the missing checking.

Wang Nan f6c15621f0 perf probe: Fix ARM 32 building error
Commit 9b118acae3 ("perf probe: Fix to
handle aliased symbols in glibc") uses an absolute format '%lx' to
print u64 argument, which causes compiling error on ARM 32.

This patch replaces it with PRIx64.

Peter Zijlstra 2c5e8c52c6 perf tools: Merge all perf_event_attr print functions
Currently there's 3 (that I found) different and incomplete
implementations of printing perf_event_attr.

This is quite silly. Merge the lot.

While this patch does not retain the exact form all printing that I
found is debug output and thus it should not be critical.

Also, I cannot find a single print_event_desc() caller.

Peter Zijlstra 814c8c38e1 perf record: Add clockid parameter
Teach perf-record about the new perf_event_attr::{use_clockid, clockid}
fields. Add a simple parameter to set the clock (if any) to be used for
the events to be recorded into the data file.

Since we store the entire perf_event_attr in the EVENT_DESC section we
also already store the used clockid in the data file.

Yunlong Song ff5f3bbd40 perf sched replay: Use replay_repeat to calculate the runavg of cpu usage instead of the default value 10
Since sched->replay_repeat is set to 10 as default, the sched->run_avg,
sched->runavg_cpu_usage, and sched->runavg_parent_cpu_usage all use
10 to calculate their value.

However, the replay_repeat can be changed to other value by using -r
option, so the calculation above should use replay_repeat to achieve
more accurate results instead of the default value 10.

Yunlong Song 939cda521a perf sched replay: Fix the EMFILE error caused by the limitation of the maximum open files
The soft maximum number of open files for a calling process is 1024,
which is defined as INR_OPEN_CUR in include/uapi/linux/fs.h, and the
hard maximum number of open files for a calling process is 4096, which
is defined as INR_OPEN_MAX in include/uapi/linux/fs.h.

Both INR_OPEN_CUR and INR_OPEN_MAX are used to limit the value of
RLIMIT_NOFILE in include/asm-generic/resource.h.

And the soft maximum number finally decides the limitation of the
maximum files which are allowed to be opened.

That is to say a process can use at most 1024 file descriptors for its
o pened files, or an EMFILE error will happen.

This error can be fixed by increasing the soft maximum number, under the
constraint that the soft maximum number can not exceed the hard maximum
number, or both soft and hard maximum number should be increased
simultaneously with privilege.

For perf sched replay, it uses sys_perf_event_open to create the file
descriptor for each of the tasks in order to handle information of perf
events.

That is to say each task needs a unique file descriptor. In x86_64,
there may be over 1024 or 4096 tasks correspoinding to the record in
perf.data, which causes that no enough file descriptors can be used.

As a result, EMFILE error happens and stops the replay process. To solve
this problem, we adaptively increase the soft and hard maximum number of
open files with a '-f' option.

Example:

Test environment: x86_64 with 160 cores

 $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
 163840
 $ cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max
 6815744
 $ ulimit -Sn
 1024
 $ ulimit -Hn
 4096

Yunlong Song 1aff59be53 perf sched replay: Handle the dead halt of sem_wait when create_tasks() fails for any task
Since there is sem_wait for each task in the wait_for_tasks(), e.g.
sem_wait(&task->work_done_sem).

The sem_wait can continue only when work_done_sem is greater than 0, or
it will be blocked.

For perf sched replay, one task may sem_post the work_done_sem of
another task, which causes the work_done_sem of that task processed in a
reasonable sequence, e.g. sem_post, sem_wait, sem_wait, sem_post...

This sequence simulates the sched process of the running tasks at the
time when perf sched record runs.

As a result, all the tasks are required and their threads must be
successfully created.

If any one (task A) of the tasks fails to create its thread, then
another task (task B), whose work_done_sem needs sem_post from that
failed task A, may likely block itself due to seg_wait.

And this is a dead halt, since task B's thread_func cannot continue at
all.

To solve this problem, perf sched replay should exit once any task fails
to create its thread.

Example:

Test environment: x86_64 with 160 cores

Before this patch:

 $ perf sched replay
 ...
 Error: sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with -1 (Too many open
 files)
 ------------------------------------------------------------    <- dead halt

After this patch:

 $ perf sched replay
 ...
 task   1551 (           <unknown>:         0), nr_events: 10
 Error: sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with -1 (Too many open
 files)
 $

As shown above, perf sched replay finishes the process after printing an
error message and does not block itself.

Yunlong Song 08097abc11 perf sched replay: Fix the segmentation fault problem caused by pr_err in threads
The pr_err in self_open_counters() prints error message to stderr.
Unlike stdout, stderr uses memory buffer on the stack of each calling
process.

The pr_err in self_open_counters() works in a thread called thread_func
created in function create_tasks, which concurrently creates
sched->nr_tasks threads.

If the error happens and pr_err prints the error message in each of
these threads, the stack size of the perf process (default is 8192
kbytes) will quickly run out and the segmentation fault will happen
then.

To solve this problem, pr_err with self_open_counters() should be moved
from newly created threads to the old main thread of the perf process.
Then the pr_err can work in a stable situation without the strange
segmentation fault problem.

Example:

Test environment: x86_64 with 160 cores

Before this patch:

 $ perf sched replay
 ...
 task   1549 (             :163132:    163132), nr_events: 1

 task   1551 (           <unknown>:         0), nr_events: 10

After this patch:

 $ perf sched replay
 ...

 task   1551 (           <unknown>:         0), nr_events: 10
 ...

As shown above, the result continues without any segmentation fault.

to the value of /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max, it cannot handle the case when
pid_max is changed after 'perf sched record' has created its perf.data.

If the new pid_max configured in 'perf sched replay' is smaller than the
old pid_max configured in 'perf sched record', then it will cause the
assertion failure problem.

To solve this problem, we realloc the memory of pid_to_task stepwise
once the passed-in pid parameter in register_pid is larger than the
current pid_max.

Example:

Test environment: x86_64 with 160 cores

 $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
 163840
 $ perf sched record ls
 $ echo 5000 > /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
 $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
 5000

 the sleep test took 1060940 nsecs

Yunlong Song cb06ac256a perf sched replay: Alloc the memory of pid_to_task dynamically to adapt to the unexpected change of pid_max
The current memory allocation of struct task_desc *pid_to_task[MAX_PID]
is in a permanent and preset way, and it has two problems:

Problem 1: If the pid_max, which is the max number of pids in the
system, is much smaller than MAX_PID (1024*1000), then it causes a waste
of stack memory. This may happen in the case where the number of cpu
cores is much smaller than 1000.

Problem 2: If the pid_max is changed from the default value to a value
larger than MAX_PID, then it will cause assertion failure problem. The
maximum value of pid_max can be set to pid_max_max (see pidmap_init
defined in kernel/pid.c), which equals to PID_MAX_LIMIT. In x86_64,
PID_MAX_LIMIT is 4*1024*1024 (defined in include/linux/threads.h). This
value is much larger than MAX_PID, and will take up 32768 Kbytes
(4*1024*1024*8/1024) for memory allocation of pid_to_task, which is much
larger than the default 8192 Kbytes of the stack size of calling
process.

Due to these two problems, we use calloc to allocate the memory of
pid_to_task dynamically.

Example:

Test environment: x86_64 with 160 cores

 $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
 163840
 $ echo 1025000 > /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
 $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
 1025000

Run some applications until the pid of some process is greater than
the value of MAX_PID (1024*1000).

Yunlong Song a35e27d0e5 perf sched replay: Increase the MAX_PID value to fix assertion failure problem
Current MAX_PID is only 65536, which will cause assertion failure problem
when CPU cores are more than 64 in x86_64.

This is because the pid_max value in x86_64 is at least
PIDS_PER_CPU_DEFAULT * num_possible_cpus() (see function pidmap_init
defined in kernel/pid.c), where PIDS_PER_CPU_DEFAULT is 1024 (defined in
include/linux/threads.h).

Thus for MAX_PID = 65536, the correspoinding CPU cores are
65536/1024=64.  This is obviously not enough at all for x86_64, and will
cause an assertion failure problem due to BUG_ON(pid >= MAX_PID) in the
codes.

We increase MAX_PID value from 65536 to 1024*1000, which can be used in
x86_64 with 1000 cores.

This number is finally decided according to the limitation of stack size
of calling process.

Use 'ulimit -a', the result shows the stack size of any process is 8192
Kbytes, which is defined in include/uapi/linux/resource.h (#define
_STK_LIM (8*1024*1024)).

Thus we choose a large enough value for MAX_PID, and make it satisfy to
the limitation of the stack size, i.e., making the perf process take up
a memory space just smaller than 8192 Kbytes.

We have calculated and tested that 1024*1000 is OK for MAX_PID.

This means perf sched replay can now be used with at most 1000 cores in
x86_64 without any assertion failure problem.

Example:

Test environment: x86_64 with 160 cores

 $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
 163840

 $ perf sched replay
 run measurement overhead: 240 nsecs

Namhyung Kim 3201f0dc42 tools lib traceevent: Honor operator priority
Currently it ignores operator priority and just sets processed args as a
right operand.  But it could result in priority inversion in case that
the right operand is also a operator arg and its priority is lower.

For example, following print format is from new kmem events.

  "page=%p", REC->pfn != -1UL ? (((struct page *)(0xffffea0000000000UL)) + (REC->pfn)) : ((void *)0)

But this was treated as below:

  REC->pfn != ((null - 1UL) ? ((struct page *)0xffffea0000000000UL + REC->pfn) : (void *) 0)

In this case, the right arg was '?' operator which has lower priority.
But it just sets the whole arg so making the output confusing - page was
always 0 or 1 since that's the result of logical operation.

With this patch, it can handle it properly like following:

  ((REC->pfn != (null - 1UL)) ? ((struct page *)0xffffea0000000000UL + REC->pfn) : (void *) 0)

Yunlong Song 06af0f2c91 perf script: Support using -f to override perf.data file ownership
Enable perf script to use perf.data when it is not owned by current user
or root. Change the short option name of --fields to -F to avoid confusion
with --force.

Example:

 # perf record ls
 # chown Yunlong.Song:Yunlong.Song perf.data
 # ls -al perf.data
 -rw------- 1 Yunlong.Song Yunlong.Song 28360 Apr  2 14:53 perf.data
 # id
 uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root),64(pkcs11)

Before this patch:

 # perf script
 File perf.data not owned by current user or root (use -f to override)
 # perf script -f
   Error: switch `f' requires a value

  usage: perf script [<options>]
     or: perf script [<options>] record <script> [<record-options>] <command>
     or: perf script [<options>] report <script> [script-args]
     or: perf script [<options>] <script> [<record-options>] <command>
     or: perf script [<options>] <top-script> [script-args]

     -f, --fields <str>    comma separated output fields prepend with
     'type:'. Valid types: hw,sw,trace,raw. Fields:
     comm,tid,pid,time,cpu,event,trace,ip,sym,dso,addr,symoff,period

As shown above, the -f option does not work at all. And -f is already
taken up by --fields, which makes --force confused, so change the short
option name of --fields to -F like what other perf commands do (e.g.
perf report -F) and use -f as the short option name of --force.

After this patch:

Masami Hiramatsu c72738355b perf probe: Fix to track down unnamed union/structure members
Fix 'perf probe' to track down unnamed union/structure members.

perf probe did not track down the tree of unnamed union/structure
members, since it just failed to find given "name" in a parent
structure/union.  To solve this issue, I've introduced 2 changes.

- Fix die_find_member() to track down the type-DIE if it is
  unnamed, and if it contains the specified member, returns the
  unnamed member.
  (note that we don't return found member, since unnamed member
   has the offset in the parent structure)
- Fix convert_variable_fields() to track down the unnamed union/
  structure (one-by-one).

With this patch, perf probe can access unnamed fields:
  -----
  #./perf probe -nfx ./perf lock__delete ops 'locked_ops=ops->locked.ops'
  Added new event:
    probe_perf:lock__delete (on lock__delete in /home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux-3/tools/perf/perf with ops locked_ops=ops->locked.ops)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

          perf record -e probe_perf:lock__delete -aR sleep 1

Andi Kleen 1a78d93750 perf/x86/intel: Streamline LBR MSR handling in PMI
The perf PMI currently does unnecessary MSR accesses when
LBRs are enabled. We use LBR freezing, or when in callstack
mode force the LBRs to only filter on ring 3.

So there is no need to disable the LBRs explicitely in the
PMI handler.

Also we always unnecessarily rewrite LBR_SELECT in the LBR
handler, even though it can never change.

Stephane Eranian b37609c30e perf/x86/intel: Make the HT bug workaround conditional on HT enabled
This patch disables the PMU HT bug when Hyperthreading (HT)
is disabled. We cannot do this test immediately when perf_events
is initialized. We need to wait until the topology information
is setup properly. As such, we register a later initcall, check
the topology and potentially disable the workaround. To do this,
we need to ensure there is no user of the PMU. At this point of
the boot, the only user is the NMI watchdog, thus we disable
it during the switch and re-enable it right after.

Having the workaround disabled when it is not needed provides
some benefits by limiting the overhead is time and space.
The workaround still ensures correct scheduling of the corrupting
memory events (0xd0, 0xd1, 0xd2) when HT is off. Those events
can only be measured on counters 0-3. Something else the current
kernel did not handle correctly.

Stephane Eranian c02cdbf60b perf/x86/intel: Limit to half counters when the HT workaround is enabled, to avoid exclusive mode starvation
This patch limits the number of counters available to each CPU when
the HT bug workaround is enabled.

This is necessary to avoid situation of counter starvation. Such can
arise from configuration where one HT thread, HT0, is using all 4 counters
with corrupting events which require exclusion the the sibling HT, HT1.

In such case, HT1 would not be able to schedule any event until HT0
is done. To mitigate this problem, this patch artificially limits
the number of counters to 2.

That way, we can gurantee that at least 2 counters are not in exclusive
mode and therefore allow the sibling thread to schedule events of the
same type (system vs. per-thread). The 2 counters are not determined
in advance. We simply set the limit to two events per HT.

This helps mitigate starvation in case of events with specific counter
constraints such a PREC_DIST.

Note that this does not elimintate the starvation is all cases. But
it is better than not having it.

(Solution suggested by Peter Zjilstra.)

Maria Dimakopoulou e979121b1b perf/x86/intel: Implement cross-HT corruption bug workaround
This patch implements a software workaround for a HW erratum
on Intel SandyBridge, IvyBridge and Haswell processors
with Hyperthreading enabled. The errata are documented for
each processor in their respective specification update
documents:

  - SandyBridge: BJ122
  - IvyBridge: BV98
  - Haswell: HSD29

The bug causes silent counter corruption across hyperthreads only
when measuring certain memory events (0xd0, 0xd1, 0xd2, 0xd3).
Counters measuring those events may leak counts to the sibling
counter. For instance, counter 0, thread 0 measuring event 0xd0,
may leak to counter 0, thread 1, regardless of the event measured
there. The size of the leak is not predictible. It all depends on
the workload and the state of each sibling hyper-thread. The
corrupting events do undercount as a consequence of the leak. The
leak is compensated automatically only when the sibling counter measures
the exact same corrupting event AND the workload is on the two threads
is the same. Given, there is no way to guarantee this, a work-around
is necessary. Furthermore, there is a serious problem if the leaked count
is added to a low-occurrence event. In that case the corruption on
the low occurrence event can be very large, e.g., orders of magnitude.

There is no HW or FW workaround for this problem.

The bug is very easy to reproduce on a loaded system.
Here is an example on a Haswell client, where CPU0, CPU4
are siblings. We load the CPUs with a simple triad app
streaming large floating-point vector. We use 0x81d0
corrupting event (MEM_UOPS_RETIRED:ALL_LOADS) and
0x20cc (ROB_MISC_EVENTS:LBR_INSERTS). Given we are not
using the LBR, the 0x20cc event should be zero.

  $ taskset -c 0 triad &
  $ taskset -c 4 triad &
  $ perf stat -a -C 0 -e r81d0 sleep 100 &
  $ perf stat -a -C 4 -r20cc sleep 10
  Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
        139 277 291      r20cc
       10,000969126 seconds time elapsed

In this example, 0x81d0 and r20cc ar eusing sinling counters
on CPU0 and CPU4. 0x81d0 leaks into 0x20cc and corrupts it
from 0 to 139 millions occurrences.

This patch provides a software workaround to this problem by modifying the
way events are scheduled onto counters by the kernel. The patch forces
cross-thread mutual exclusion between counters in case a corrupting event
is measured by one of the hyper-threads. If thread 0, counter 0 is measuring
event 0xd0, then nothing can be measured on counter 0, thread 1. If no corrupting
event is measured on any hyper-thread, event scheduling proceeds as before.

The same example run with the workaround enabled, yield the correct answer:

  $ taskset -c 0 triad &
  $ taskset -c 4 triad &
  $ perf stat -a -C 0 -e r81d0 sleep 100 &
  $ perf stat -a -C 4 -r20cc sleep 10
  Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
        0 r20cc
       10,000969126 seconds time elapsed

The patch does provide correctness for all non-corrupting events. It does not
"repatriate" the leaked counts back to the leaking counter. This is planned
for a second patch series. This patch series makes this repatriation more
easy by guaranteeing the sibling counter is not measuring any useful event.

The patch introduces dynamic constraints for events. That means that events which
did not have constraints, i.e., could be measured on any counters, may now be
constrained to a subset of the counters depending on what is going on the sibling
thread. The algorithm is similar to a cache coherency protocol. We call it XSU
in reference to Exclusive, Shared, Unused, the 3 possible states of a PMU
counter.

As a consequence of the workaround, users may see an increased amount of event
multiplexing, even in situtations where there are fewer events than counters
measured on a CPU.

Patch has been tested on all three impacted processors. Note that when
HT is off, there is no corruption. However, the workaround is still enabled,
yet not costing too much. Adding a dynamic detection of HT on turned out to
be complex are requiring too much to code to be justified.

This patch addresses the issue when PEBS is not used. A subsequent patch
fixes the problem when PEBS is used.
