12 years agoperf tools: Fix bug in raw sample parsing
Stephane Eranian [Sat, 17 Mar 2012 22:23:18 +0000 (23:23 +0100)]
perf tools: Fix bug in raw sample parsing

In perf_event__parse_sample(), the array variable was not incremented
by the amount of data used by the raw_data.

That was okay until we added PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK which depends on
the array variable pointing to the beginning of the branch stack data.

But that was not the case if branch stack was combined with raw mode
sampling. That led to bogus branch stack addresses and count.

The bug would show up with:
$ perf record -R -b foo

This patch fixes the problem by correctly moving the array pointer
forward for RAW samples.

perf tools: Fix display of first level of callchains

The callchain stdio mode display was written using a sorted by symbol
report. In this mode we have only one callchain root per hist so we
forgot to handle cases where we have multiple callchain root, as in per
dso sorting for example.

Fix this by handling these roots like any other branch, with the hist as
the parent.

Before:

     1.97%  libpthread-2.12.1.so
            |
            --- __libc_write
                create_worker
                bench_sched_messaging

                create_worker
                bench_sched_messaging
                cmd_bench
                run_builtin

            |          __libc_start_main
           ...

Single roots keep their entry without percentage because they have
the same overhead than the hist they refer to. ie: 100% in fractal
mode and the percentage of the hist in graph mode:

   the tooling side, on CPUs that support it.  (modern x86 Intel CPUs
   with the 'LBR' hardware feature currently.)

   This new feature is basically a sophisticated 'magnifying glass' for
   branch execution - something that is pretty difficult to extract from
   regular, function histogram centric profiles.

   The simplest mode is activated via 'perf record -b', and the result
   looks like this in perf report:

$ perf record -b any_call,u -e cycles:u branchy

$ perf report -b --sort=symbol
    52.34%  [.] main                   [.] f1

     0.01%  [k] main                   [k] __printf

   This output shows from/to branch columns and shows the highest
   percentage (from,to) jump combinations - i.e.  the most likely taken
   branches in the system.  "branches" can also include function calls
   and any other synchronous and asynchronous transitions of the
   instruction pointer that are not 'next instruction' - such as system
   calls, traps, interrupts, etc.

   This feature comes with (hopefully intuitive) flat ascii and TUI
   support in perf report.

 - Various 'perf annotate' visual improvements for us assembly junkies.
   It will now recognize function calls in the TUI and by hitting enter
   you can follow the call (recursively) and back, amongst other
   improvements.

 - Multiple threads/processes recording support in perf record, perf
   stat, perf top - which is activated via a comma-list of PIDs:

perf top -p 21483,21485
perf stat -p 21483,21485 -ddd
perf record -p 21483,21485

 - Support for per UID views, via the --uid paramter to perf top, perf
   report, etc.  For example 'perf top --uid mingo' will only show the
   tasks that I am running, excluding other users, root, etc.

 - Jump label restructurings and improvements - this includes the
   factoring out of the (hopefully much clearer) include/linux/static_key.h
   generic facility:

struct static_key key = STATIC_KEY_INIT_FALSE;

...

if (static_key_false(&key))
        do unlikely code
else
        do likely code

...
static_key_slow_inc();
...
static_key_slow_inc();
...

   The static_key_false() branch will be generated into the code with as
   little impact to the likely code path as possible.  the
   static_key_slow_*() APIs flip the branch via live kernel code patching.

   This facility can now be used more widely within the kernel to
   micro-optimize hot branches whose likelihood matches the static-key
   usage and fast/slow cost patterns.

 - SW function tracer improvements: perf support and filtering support.

 - Various hardenings of the perf.data ABI, to make older perf.data's
   smoother on newer tool versions, to make new features integrate more
   smoothly, to support cross-endian recording/analyzing workflows
   better, etc.

 - Restructuring of the kprobes code, the splitting out of 'optprobes',
   and a corner case bugfix.

 - Allow the tracing of kernel console output (printk).

 - Improvements/fixes to user-space RDPMC support, allowing user-space
   self-profiling code to extract PMU counts without performing any
   system calls, while playing nice with the kernel side.

effectively depend on the fact that on x86 we don't really ever have the

12 years agovfs: get rid of batshit-insane pointless dentry hash calculations
Linus Torvalds [Mon, 19 Mar 2012 23:19:53 +0000 (16:19 -0700)]
vfs: get rid of batshit-insane pointless dentry hash calculations

For some odd historical reason, the final mixing round for the dentry
cache hash table lookup had an insane "xor with big constant" logic.  In
two places.

The big constant that is being xor'ed is GOLDEN_RATIO_PRIME, which is a
fairly random-looking number that is designed to be *multiplied* with so
that the bits get spread out over a whole long-word.

But xor'ing with it is insane.  It doesn't really even change the hash -
it really only shifts the hash around in the hash table.  To make
matters worse, the insane big constant is different on 32-bit and 64-bit
builds, even though the name hash bits we use are always 32-bit (and the
bits from the pointer we mix in effectively are too).

It's all total voodoo programming, in other words.

Now, some testing and analysis of the hash chains shows that the rest of
the hash function seems to be fairly good.  It does pick the right bits
of the parent dentry pointer, for example, and while it's generally a
bad idea to use an xor to mix down the upper bits (because if there is a
repeating pattern, the xor can cause "destructive interference"), it
seems to not have been a disaster.

For example, replacing the hash with the normal "hash_long()" code (that
uses the GOLDEN_RATIO_PRIME constant correctly, btw) actually just makes
the hash worse.  The hand-picked hash knew which bits of the pointer had
the highest entropy, and hash_long() ends up mixing bits less optimally
at least in some trivial tests.

So the hash function overall seems fine, it just has that really odd
"shift result around by a constant xor".

So get rid of the silly xor, and replace the down-mixing of the bits
with an add instead of an xor that tends to not have the same kind of
destructive interference issues.  Some stats on the resulting hash
chains shows that they look statistically identical before and after,
but the code is simpler and no longer makes you go "WTF?".

Also, the incoming hash really is just "unsigned int", not a long, and
there's no real point to worry about the high 26 bits of the dentry
pointer for the 64-bit case, because they are all going to be identical
anyway.

So also change the hashing to be done in the more natural 'unsigned int'
that is the real size of the actual hashed data anyway.

allow an unlimited number of paths of depth 1. My current patch limits
it at 1000. And enforce the limits on paths that have a greater depth.

afs: Remote abort can cause BUG in rxrpc code

When writing files to afs I sometimes hit a BUG:

kernel BUG at fs/afs/rxrpc.c:179!

With a backtrace of:

afs_free_call
afs_make_call
afs_fs_store_data
afs_vnode_store_data
afs_write_back_from_locked_page
afs_writepages_region
afs_writepages

The cause is:

ASSERT(skb_queue_empty(&call->rx_queue));

Looking at a tcpdump of the session the abort happens because we
are exceeding our disk quota:

rx abort fs reply store-data error diskquota exceeded (32)

So the abort error is valid. We hit the BUG because we haven't
freed all the resources for the call.

By freeing any skbs in call->rx_queue before calling afs_free_call
we avoid hitting leaking memory and avoid hitting the BUG.

genirq: Remove paranoid warnons and bogus fixups

Alexander pointed out that the warnons in the regular exit path are
bogus and the thread_mask one actually could be triggered when
__setup_irq() hands out that thread_mask again after __free_irq()
dropped irq_desc->lock.

Thinking more about it, neither IRQTF_RUNTHREAD nor the bit in
thread_mask can be set as this is the regular exit path. We come here
due to:
__free_irq()
   remove action from desc
   synchronize_irq()
   kthread_stop()

So synchronize_irq() makes sure that the thread finished running and
cleaned up both the thread_active count and thread_mask. After that
point nothing can set IRQTF_RUNTHREAD on this action. So the warnons
and the cleanups are pointless.

This reverts commit d47a0ac7b6 (sch_sfq: dont put new flow at the end of
flows)

As Jesper found out, patch sounded great but has bad side effects.

In stress situation, pushing new flows in front of the queue can prevent
old flows doing any progress. Packets can stay in SFQ queue for
unlimited amount of time.

It's possible to add heuristics to limit this problem, but this would
add complexity outside of SFQ scope.

A more sensible answer to Dave Taht concerns (who reported the issued I
tried to solve in original commit) is probably to use a qdisc hierarchy
so that high prio packets dont enter a potentially crowded SFQ qdisc.

12 years agomemcg: free mem_cgroup by RCU to fix oops
Hugh Dickins [Thu, 15 Mar 2012 22:17:07 +0000 (15:17 -0700)]
memcg: free mem_cgroup by RCU to fix oops

After fixing the GPF in mem_cgroup_lru_del_list(), three times one
machine running a similar load (moving and removing memcgs while
swapping) has oopsed in mem_cgroup_zone_nr_lru_pages(), when retrieving
memcg zone numbers for get_scan_count() for shrink_mem_cgroup_zone():
this is where a struct mem_cgroup is first accessed after being chosen
by mem_cgroup_iter().

Just what protects a struct mem_cgroup from being freed, in between
mem_cgroup_iter()'s css_get_next() and its css_tryget()? css_tryget()
fails once css->refcnt is zero with CSS_REMOVED set in flags, yes: but
what if that memory is freed and reused for something else, which sets
"refcnt" non-zero? Hmm, and scope for an indefinite freeze if refcnt is
left at zero but flags are cleared.

It's tempting to move the css_tryget() into css_get_next(), to make it
really "get" the css, but I don't think that actually solves anything:
the same difficulty in moving from css_id found to stable css remains.

But we already have rcu_read_lock() around the two, so it's easily fixed
if __mem_cgroup_free() just uses kfree_rcu() to free mem_cgroup.

However, a big struct mem_cgroup is allocated with vzalloc() instead of
kzalloc(), and we're not allowed to vfree() at interrupt time: there
doesn't appear to be a general vfree_rcu() to help with this, so roll
our own using schedule_work().  The compiler decently removes
vfree_work() and vfree_rcu() when the config doesn't need them.

12 years agoperf tools: Incorrect use of snprintf results in SEGV
Anton Blanchard [Wed, 7 Mar 2012 00:42:49 +0000 (11:42 +1100)]
perf tools: Incorrect use of snprintf results in SEGV

I have a workload where perf top scribbles over the stack and we SEGV.
What makes it interesting is that an snprintf is causing this.

The workload is a c++ gem that has method names over 3000 characters
long, but snprintf is designed to avoid overrunning buffers. So what
went wrong?

The problem is we assume snprintf returns the number of characters
written:

    ret += repsep_snprintf(bf + ret, size - ret, "[%c] ", self->level);
...
    ret += repsep_snprintf(bf + ret, size - ret, "%s", self->ms.sym->name);

Unfortunately this is not how snprintf works. snprintf returns the
number of characters that would have been written if there was enough
space. In the above case, if the first snprintf returns a value larger
than size, we pass a negative size into the second snprintf and happily
scribble over the stack. If you have 3000 character c++ methods thats a
lot of stack to trample.

This patch fixes repsep_snprintf by clamping the value at size - 1 which
is the maximum snprintf can write before adding the NULL terminator.

I get the sinking feeling that there are a lot of other uses of snprintf
that have this same bug, we should audit them all.
