2009-06-08perf report: Add support for profiling JIT generated codePekka Enberg
This patch adds support for profiling JIT generated code to 'perf report'. A JIT compiler is required to generate a "/tmp/perf-$PID.map" symbols map that is parsed when looking and displaying symbols. Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for his help with this patch! Example "perf report" output with the Jato JIT: # # (40311 samples) # # Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol # ........ ................ ......................... ...... # 97.80% jato /tmp/perf-11915.map [.] Fibonacci.fib(I)I 0.56% jato 00000000b7fa023b 0x000000b7fa023b 0.45% jato /tmp/perf-11915.map [.] Fibonacci.main([Ljava/lang/String;)V 0.38% jato [kernel] [k] get_page_from_freelist 0.06% jato [kernel] [k] kunmap_atomic 0.05% jato ./jato [.] utf8Hash 0.04% jato ./jato [.] executeJava 0.04% jato ./jato [.] defineClass Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Pekka Enberg <penberg@cs.helsinki.fi> Cc: a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl Cc: acme@redhat.com LKML-Reference: <Pine.LNX.4.64.0906082111590.12407@melkki.cs.Helsinki.FI> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2009-06-08perf_counter: Add mmap event hooks to mprotect()Peter Zijlstra
Some JIT compilers allocate memory for generated code with posix_memalign() + mprotect() so we need to hook into mprotect() to make sure 'perf' is aware that we're executing code in anonymous memory.

2009-06-07perf top: Wait for a minimal set of events before reading first snapshotFrederic Weisbecker
The first snapshot reading often occur before any events have been read in the mapped perfcounter files. Just wait until we have at least one event before starting the snapshot, or the delay before the first set of entries to be displayed may be long in case of low refresh rate. Note: we could also use a semaphore to wait before "print_entries" number of eveents is reached, but again this value is tunable and we can't ensure we will even reach it. Also we could base on a default mimimum set of entries for the first refresh, say 15, but again, the minimal sample is tunable, and we could end up displaying nothing until we have a minimal default set of events, which can take some time in case of high samples filters. Hence this simple solution which partially covers the default case.

2009-06-06perf annotate: Automatically pick up vmlinux in the local directoryIngo Molnar
Right now kernel debug info does not get resolved by default, because we dont know where to look for the vmlinux. The -k option can be used for that - but if no option is given, pick up vmlinux files in the current directory - in case a kernel hacker runs profiling from the source directory that the kernel was built in. The real solution would be to embedd the location (and perhaps the date/timestamp) of the vmlinux file in /proc/kallsyms, so that tools can pick it up automatically.

2009-06-06perf_counter: Implement generalized cache event typesIngo Molnar
Extend generic event enumeration with the PERF_TYPE_HW_CACHE method. This is a 3-dimensional space: { L1-D, L1-I, L2, ITLB, DTLB, BPU } x { load, store, prefetch } x { accesses, misses } User-space passes in the 3 coordinates and the kernel provides a counter. (if the hardware supports that type and if the combination makes sense.) Combinations that make no sense produce a -EINVAL. Combinations that are not supported by the hardware produce -ENOTSUP. Extend the tools to deal with this, and rewrite the event symbol parsing code with various popular aliases for the units and access methods above. So 'l1-cache-miss' and 'l1d-read-ops' are both valid aliases. ( x86 is supported for now, with the Nehalem event table filled in, and with Core2 and Atom having placeholder tables. ) Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Corey Ashford <cjashfor@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> LKML-Reference: <new-submission> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2009-06-06perf_counter: Separate out attr->type from attr->configIngo Molnar
Counter type is a frequently used value and we do a lot of bit juggling by encoding and decoding it from attr->config. Clean this up by creating a separate attr->type field. Also clean up the various similarly complex user-space bits all around counter attribute management. The net improvement is significant, and it will be easier to add a new major type (which is what triggered this cleanup). (This changes the ABI, all tools are adapted.) (PowerPC build-tested.)

Turns out that neither PowerPC nor older x86 compilers know this switch ... and since it does not make a measurable difference, just omit it.

2009-06-05perf_counter: Fix lockup with interrupting countersPaul Mackerras
Commit 8e3747c1 ("perf_counter: Change data head from u32 to u64") changed the type of 'head' in struct perf_mmap_data from atomic_t to atomic_long_t, but missed converting one use of atomic_read on it to atomic_long_read. The effect of using atomic_read rather than atomic_long_read on powerpc (and other big-endian architectures) is that we get the high half of the 64-bit quantity, resulting in the cmpxchg retry loop in perf_output_begin spinning forever as soon as data->head becomes non-zero. On little-endian architectures such as x86 we would get the low half, resulting in a lockup once data->head becomes greater than 4G. This fixes it by using atomic_long_read rather than atomic_read.

2009-06-04drivers/char/mem.c: avoid OOM lockup during large reads from /dev/zeroSalman Qazi
While running 20 parallel instances of dd as follows: #!/bin/bash for i in `seq 1 20`; do dd if=/dev/zero of=/export/hda3/dd_$i bs=1073741824 count=1 & done wait on a 16G machine, we noticed that rather than just killing the processes, the entire kernel went down. Stracing dd reveals that it first does an mmap2, which makes 1GB worth of zero page mappings. Then it performs a read on those pages from /dev/zero, and finally it performs a write. The machine died during the reads. Looking at the code, it was noticed that /dev/zero's read operation had been changed by 557ed1fa2620dc119adb86b34c614e152a629a80 ("remove ZERO_PAGE") from giving zero page mappings to actually zeroing the page. The zeroing of the pages causes physical pages to be allocated to the process. But, when the process exhausts all the memory that it can, the kernel cannot kill it, as it is still in the kernel mode allocating more memory. Consequently, the kernel eventually crashes. To fix this, I propose that when a fatal signal is pending during /dev/zero read operation, we simply return and let the user process die.
