14 years agoperf test: Initial regression testing command
Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo [Thu, 29 Apr 2010 21:58:32 +0000 (18:58 -0300)]
perf test: Initial regression testing command

First an example with the first internal test:

[acme@doppio linux-2.6-tip]$ perf test
 1: vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms: Ok

So it run just one test, that is "vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms", and it was
successful.

If we run it in verbose mode, we'll see details about errors and extra warnings
for non-fatal problems:

[acme@doppio linux-2.6-tip]$ perf test -v
 1: vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms:
--- start ---
Looking at the vmlinux_path (5 entries long)
No build_id in vmlinux, ignoring it
No build_id in /boot/vmlinux, ignoring it
No build_id in /boot/vmlinux-2.6.34-rc4-tip+, ignoring it
Using /lib/modules/2.6.34-rc4-tip+/build/vmlinux for symbols
Maps only in vmlinux:
 ffffffff81cb81b1-ffffffff81e1149b 0 [kernel].init.text
 ffffffff81e1149c-ffffffff9fffffff 0 [kernel].exit.text
 ffffffffff600000-ffffffffff6000ff 0 [kernel].vsyscall_0
 ffffffffff600100-ffffffffff6003ff 0 [kernel].vsyscall_fn
 ffffffffff600400-ffffffffff6007ff 0 [kernel].vsyscall_1
 ffffffffff600800-ffffffffffffffff 0 [kernel].vsyscall_2
Maps in vmlinux with a different name in kallsyms:
 ffffffffff600000-ffffffffff6000ff 0 [kernel].vsyscall_0 in kallsyms as [kernel].0
 ffffffffff600100-ffffffffff6003ff 0 [kernel].vsyscall_fn in kallsyms as:
*ffffffffff600100-ffffffffff60012f 0 [kernel].2
 ffffffffff600400-ffffffffff6007ff 0 [kernel].vsyscall_1 in kallsyms as [kernel].6
 ffffffffff600800-ffffffffffffffff 0 [kernel].vsyscall_2 in kallsyms as [kernel].8
Maps only in kallsyms:
 ffffffffff600130-ffffffffff6003ff 0 [kernel].4
---- end ----
vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms: Ok
[acme@doppio linux-2.6-tip]$

In the above case we only know the name of the non contiguous kernel ranges in
the address space when reading the symbol information from the ELF symtab in
vmlinux.

The /proc/kallsyms file lack this, we only notice they are separate because
there are modules after the kernel and after that more kernel functions, so we
need to have a module rbtree backed by the module .ko path to get symtabs in
the vmlinux case.

The tool uses it to match by address to emit appropriate warning, but don't
considers this fatal.

The .init.text and .exit.text ines, of course, aren't in kallsyms, so I left
these cases just as extra info in verbose mode.

The end of the sections also aren't in kallsyms, so we the symbols layer does
another pass and sets the end addresses as the next map start minus one, which
sometimes pads, causing harmless mismatches.

But at least the symbols match, tested it by copying /proc/kallsyms to
/tmp/kallsyms and doing changes to see if they were detected.

This first test also should serve as a first stab at documenting the
symbol library by providing a self contained example that exercises it
together with comments about what is being done.

More tests to check if actions done on a monitored app, like doing mmaps, etc,
makes the kernel generate the expected events should be added next.

14 years agoperf: Generalize perf lock's sample event reordering to the session layer
Frederic Weisbecker [Fri, 23 Apr 2010 22:04:12 +0000 (00:04 +0200)]
perf: Generalize perf lock's sample event reordering to the session layer

The sample events recorded by perf record are not time ordered
because we have one buffer per cpu for each event (even demultiplexed
per task/per cpu for task bound events). But when we read trace events
we want them to be ordered by time because many state machines are
involved.

There are currently two ways perf tools deal with that:

- use -M to multiplex every buffers (perf sched, perf kmem)
  But this creates a lot of contention in SMP machines on
  record time.

- use a post-processing time reordering (perf timechart, perf lock)
  The reordering used by timechart is simple but doesn't scale well
  with huge flow of events, in terms of performance and memory use
  (unusable with perf lock for example).
  Perf lock has its own samples reordering that flushes its memory
  use in a regular basis and that uses a sorting based on the
  previous event queued (a new event to be queued is close to the
  previous one most of the time).

This patch proposes to export perf lock's samples reordering facility
to the session layer that reads the events. So if a tool wants to
get ordered sample events, it needs to set its
struct perf_event_ops::ordered_samples to true and that's it.

This prepares tracing based perf tools to get rid of the need to
use buffers multiplexing (-M) or to implement their own
reordering.

Also lower the flush period to 2 as it's sufficient already.

      2) acquire -> contended -> acquired -> release
      3) acquire (w/ try) -> release
      4) acquire (w/ read) -> release

The case of 4) is a little special.
Double acquire of read lock is allowed, so the state machine
counts read lock number, and permits double acquire and release.

But, things are not so simple. Something in my model is still wrong.
I counted the number of lock instances with bad sequence,
and ratio is like this (case of tracing whoami): bad:233, total:2279

version 2:
 * threads are now identified with tid, not pid
 * prepared SEQ_STATE_READ_ACQUIRED for read lock.
 * bunch of struct lock_seq_stat is now linked list
 * debug information enhanced (this have to be removed someday)
   e.g.
     | === output for debug===
     |
     | bad:233, total:2279
     | bad rate:0.000000
     | histogram of events caused bad sequence
     |     acquire: 165
     |    acquired: 0
     |   contended: 0
     |     release: 68

USB: put claimed interfaces in the "suspended" state

This patch (as1370) fixes a bug in the USB runtime power management
code.  When a driver claims an interface, it doesn't expect to need to
call usb_autopm_get_interface() or usb_autopm_put_interface() for
runtime PM to work.  Runtime PM can be controlled by the driver's
primary interface; the additional interfaces it claims shouldn't
interfere.  As things stand, the claimed interfaces will prevent the
device from autosuspending.

To fix this problem, the patch sets interfaces to the suspended state
when they are claimed.

Also, although in theory this shouldn't matter, the patch changes the
suspend code so that interfaces are suspended in reverse order from
detection and resuming.  This is how the PM core works, and we ought
to use the same approach.

USB: fix remote wakeup settings during system sleep

This patch (as1363) changes the way USB remote wakeup is handled
during system sleeps.  It won't be enabled unless an interface driver
specifically needs it.  Also, it won't be enabled during the FREEZE or
QUIESCE phases of hibernation, when the system doesn't respond to
wakeup events anyway.  Finally, if the device is already
runtime-suspended with remote wakeup enabled, but wakeup is supposed
to be disabled for the system sleep, the device gets woken up so that
it can be suspended again with the proper wakeup setting.

This will fix problems people have reported with certain USB webcams
that generate wakeup requests when they shouldn't, and as a result
cause system suspends to fail.  See

CRED: Fix a race in creds_are_invalid() in credentials debugging

creds_are_invalid() reads both cred->usage and cred->subscribers and then
compares them to make sure the number of processes subscribed to a cred struct
never exceeds the refcount of that cred struct.

The problem is that this can cause a race with both copy_creds() and
exit_creds() as the two counters, whilst they are of atomic_t type, are only
atomic with respect to themselves, and not atomic with respect to each other.

This means that if creds_are_invalid() can read the values on one CPU whilst
they're being modified on another CPU, and so can observe an evolving state in
which the subscribers count now is greater than the usage count a moment
before.

Switching the order in which the counts are read cannot help, so the thing to
do is to remove that particular check.

I had considered rechecking the values to see if they're in flux if the test
fails, but I can't guarantee they won't appear the same, even if they've
changed several times in the meantime.

Note that this can only happen if CONFIG_DEBUG_CREDENTIALS is enabled.

The problem is only likely to occur with multithreaded programs, and can be
tested by the tst-eintr1 program from glibc's "make check".  The symptoms look
like:
