* ftrace/x86: Load ftrace_ops in parameter not the variable holding itSteven Rostedt2014-01-091-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Function tracing callbacks expect to have the ftrace_ops that registered it passed to them, not the address of the variable that holds the ftrace_ops that registered it. Use a mov instead of a lea to store the ftrace_ops into the parameter of the function tracing callback.

The reason for doing so is that accessing per-cpu variables is a lot cheaper than accessing thread_info variables. We still need to save/restore the actual preemption count due to PREEMPT_ACTIVE so we place the per-cpu __preempt_count variable in the same cache-line as the other hot __switch_to() variables such as current_task. NOTE: this save/restore is required even for !PREEMPT kernels as cond_resched() also relies on preempt_count's PREEMPT_ACTIVE to ignore task_struct::state. Also rename thread_info::preempt_count to ensure nobody is 'accidentally' still poking at it.

They provide good data about when the system has switched to kernel space and how it affects the currently running processes. There are some IRQ vectors which trigger the system into kernel space, which are not handled in generic IRQ handlers. Tracing such events gives us the information about IRQ interaction with other system events. The trace also tells where the system is spending its time. We want to know which cores are handling interrupts and how they are affecting other processes in the system. Also, the trace provides information about when the cores are idle and which interrupts are changing that state. <snip> On the other hand, my usecase is tracing just local timer event and getting a value of instruction pointer. I suggested to add an argument local timer event to get instruction pointer before. But there is another way to get it with external module like systemtap. So, I don't need to add any argument to irq vector tracepoints now. [Patch Description] Vaibhav's patch shared a trace point ,irq_vector_entry/irq_vector_exit, in all events. But there is an above use case to trace specific irq_vector rather than tracing all events. In this case, we are concerned about overhead due to unwanted events. So, add following tracepoints instead of introducing irq_vector_entry/exit. so that we can enable them independently. - local_timer_vector - reschedule_vector - call_function_vector - call_function_single_vector - irq_work_entry_vector - error_apic_vector - thermal_apic_vector - threshold_apic_vector - spurious_apic_vector - x86_platform_ipi_vector Also, introduce a logic switching IDT at enabling/disabling time so that a time penalty makes a zero when tracepoints are disabled. Detailed explanations are as follows. - Create trace irq handlers with entering_irq()/exiting_irq(). - Create a new IDT, trace_idt_table, at boot time by adding a logic to _set_gate(). It is just a copy of original idt table. - Register the new handlers for tracpoints to the new IDT by introducing macros to alloc_intr_gate() called at registering time of irq_vector handlers. - Add checking, whether irq vector tracing is on/off, into load_current_idt(). This has to be done below debug checking for these reasons. - Switching to debug IDT may be kicked while tracing is enabled. - On the other hands, switching to trace IDT is kicked only when debugging is disabled. In addition, the new IDT is created only when CONFIG_TRACING is enabled to avoid being used for other purposes.

* KVM: VMX: Register a new IPI for posted interruptYang Zhang2013-04-161-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Posted Interrupt feature requires a special IPI to deliver posted interrupt to guest. And it should has a high priority so the interrupt will not be blocked by others. Normally, the posted interrupt will be consumed by vcpu if target vcpu is running and transparent to OS. But in some cases, the interrupt will arrive when target vcpu is scheduled out. And host will see it. So we need to register a dump handler to handle it.

However, the copy of registers modified is exactly the one that is the part of pt_regs in the first NMI. This can change the behaviour of the first NMI. In particular, Google's arch_trigger_all_cpu_backtrace handler also prints regions of memory surrounding addresses appearing in registers. This results in handled exceptions, after which nested NMIs start coming in. These nested NMIs change the value of registers in pt_regs. This can cause the original NMI handler to produce incorrect output. We solve this problem by interchanging the position of the preserved copy of the iret registers ("saved") and the copy subject to being trampled by nested NMI ("copied").

McKenney: " The major features of this series are: 1. A first version of no-callbacks CPUs. This version prohibits offlining CPU 0, but only when enabled via CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU=y. Relaxing this constraint is in progress, but not yet ready for prime time. These commits were posted to LKML at https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/724, and are at branch rcu/nocb. 2. Changes to SRCU that allows statically initialized srcu_struct structures. These commits were posted to LKML at https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/296, and are at branch rcu/srcu. 3. Restructuring of RCU's debugfs output. These commits were posted to LKML at https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/341, and are at branch rcu/tracing. 4. Additional CPU-hotplug/RCU improvements, posted to LKML at https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/327, and are at branch rcu/hotplug. Note that the commit eliminating __stop_machine() was judged to be too-high of risk, so is deferred to 3.9. 5. Changes to RCU's idle interface, most notably a new module parameter that redirects normal grace-period operations to their expedited equivalents. These were posted to LKML at https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/739, and are at branch rcu/idle. 6. Additional diagnostics for RCU's CPU stall warning facility, posted to LKML at https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/315, and are at branch rcu/stall. The most notable change reduces the default RCU CPU stall-warning time from 60 seconds to 21 seconds, so that it once again happens sooner than the softlockup timeout. 7. Documentation updates, which were posted to LKML at https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/280, and are at branch rcu/doc. A couple of late-breaking changes were posted at https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/11/16/634 and https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/11/16/547. 8. Miscellaneous fixes, which were posted to LKML at https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/309, along with a late-breaking change posted at Fri, 16 Nov 2012 11:26:25 -0800 with message-ID <20121116192625.GA447@linux.vnet.ibm.com>, but which lkml.org seems to have missed. These are at branch rcu/fixes. 9. Finally, a fix for an lockdep-RCU splat was posted to LKML at https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/11/7/486. This is at rcu/next.

Strictly speaking reserved bits in EFLAGS should be read as written but in practise it is unlikely that EFLAGS could ever be extended in this way and the kernel alread clears any undefined flags early on. The equivalent 32 bit code simply hard codes 0x0202 as the new EFLAGS. This change makes 64 bit use the same mechanism to setup the initial EFLAGS on fork. Note that 64 bit resets EFLAGS before calling schedule_tail() as opposed to 32 bit which calls schedule_tail() first. Therefore the correct value for EFLAGS has opposite IF bit.

Most of the activity was on the tooling side. Higher level changes: - New 'perf kvm' analysis tool, from Xiao Guangrong. - New 'perf trace' system-wide tracing tool - uprobes fixes + cleanups from Oleg Nesterov. - Lots of patches to make perf build on Android out of box, from Irina Tirdea - Extend ftrace function tracing utility to be more dynamic for its users. It allows for data passing to the callback functions, as well as reading regs as if a breakpoint were to trigger at function entry. The main goal of this patch series was to allow kprobes to use ftrace as an optimized probe point when a probe is placed on an ftrace nop.

With mcount, frame pointers are forced with the -pg option and we get something like: <can_vma_merge_before>: 55 push %rbp 48 89 e5 mov %rsp,%rbp 53 push %rbx 41 51 push %r9 e8 fe 6a 39 00 callq ffffffff81483d00 <mcount> 31 c0 xor %eax,%eax 48 89 fb mov %rdi,%rbx 48 89 d7 mov %rdx,%rdi 48 33 73 30 xor 0x30(%rbx),%rsi 48 f7 c6 ff ff ff f7 test $0xfffffffff7ffffff,%rsi With -mfentry, frame pointers are no longer forced and the call looks like this: <can_vma_merge_before>: e8 33 af 37 00 callq ffffffff81461b40 <__fentry__> 53 push %rbx 48 89 fb mov %rdi,%rbx 31 c0 xor %eax,%eax 48 89 d7 mov %rdx,%rdi 41 51 push %r9 48 33 73 30 xor 0x30(%rbx),%rsi 48 f7 c6 ff ff ff f7 test $0xfffffffff7ffffff,%rsi This adds the ftrace hook at the beginning of the function before a frame is set up, and allows the function callbacks to be able to access parameters. As kprobes now can use function tracing (at least on x86) this speeds up the kprobe hooks that are at the beginning of the function.

| | | * | ftrace/x86: Add separate function to save regsSteven Rostedt2012-07-191-8/+86

If a ftrace_ops wants regs saved on the return, then have only the functions with ops registered to save regs. Functions registered by other ops would not be affected, unless the functions overlap. If one ftrace_ops registered functions A, B and C and another ops registered fucntions to save regs on A, and D, then only functions A and D would be saving regs. Function B and C would work as normal. Although A is registered by both ops: normal and saves regs; this is fine as saving the regs is needed to satisfy one of the ops that calls it but the regs are ignored by the other ops function. x86_64 implements the full regs saving, and i386 just passes a NULL for regs to satisfy the ftrace_ops passing. Where an arch must supply both regs and ftrace_ops parameters, even if regs is just NULL. It is OK for an arch to pass NULL regs. All function trace users that require regs passing must add the flag FTRACE_OPS_FL_SAVE_REGS when registering the ftrace_ops. If the arch does not support saving regs then the ftrace_ops will fail to register. The flag FTRACE_OPS_FL_SAVE_REGS_IF_SUPPORTED may be set that will prevent the ftrace_ops from failing to register. In this case, the handler may either check if regs is not NULL or check if ARCH_SUPPORTS_FTRACE_SAVE_REGS. If the arch supports passing regs it will set this macro and pass regs for ops that request them. All other archs will just pass NULL.

The application may then crash with SIGSEGV or a SIGILL or it may have subtly incorrect behaviour (depending on what instruction it returned to). The occurs because handle_signal() is incorrectly thinking that there is a system call that needs to restarted so it adjusts %eip and %eax to re-execute the system call instruction (even though user space had not done a system call). If %eax == -514 (-ERESTARTNOHAND (-514) or -ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK (-516) then handle_signal() only corrupted %eax (by setting it to -EINTR). This may cause the application to crash or have incorrect behaviour. handle_signal() assumes that regs->orig_ax >= 0 means a system call so any kernel entry point that is not for a system call must push a negative value for orig_ax. For example, for physical interrupts on bare metal the inverse of the vector is pushed and page_fault() sets regs->orig_ax to -1, overwriting the hardware provided error code. xen_hypervisor_callback() was incorrectly pushing 0 for orig_ax instead of -1. Classic Xen kernels pushed %eax which works as %eax cannot be both non-negative and -RESTARTSYS (etc.), but using -1 is consistent with other non-system call entry points and avoids some of the tests in handle_signal(). There were similar bugs in xen_failsafe_callback() of both 32 and 64-bit guests. If the fault was corrected and the normal return path was used then 0 was incorrectly pushed as the value for orig_ax.
