From 475113d937adfd150eb82b5e2c5507125a68e7af Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiri Olsa Date: Wed, 28 Dec 2016 14:31:03 +0100 Subject: perf/x86/intel: Account interrupts for PEBS errors It's possible to set up PEBS events to get only errors and not any data, like on SNB-X (model 45) and IVB-EP (model 62) via 2 perf commands running simultaneously: taskset -c 1 ./perf record -c 4 -e branches:pp -j any -C 10 This leads to a soft lock up, because the error path of the intel_pmu_drain_pebs_nhm() does not account event->hw.interrupt for error PEBS interrupts, so in case you're getting ONLY errors you don't have a way to stop the event when it's over the max_samples_per_tick limit: NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#22 stuck for 22s! [perf_fuzzer:5816] ... RIP: 0010:[] [] smp_call_function_single+0xe2/0x140 ... Call Trace: ? trace_hardirqs_on_caller+0xf5/0x1b0 ? perf_cgroup_attach+0x70/0x70 perf_install_in_context+0x199/0x1b0 ? ctx_resched+0x90/0x90 SYSC_perf_event_open+0x641/0xf90 SyS_perf_event_open+0x9/0x10 do_syscall_64+0x6c/0x1f0 entry_SYSCALL64_slow_path+0x25/0x25 Add perf_event_account_interrupt() which does the interrupt and frequency checks and call it from intel_pmu_drain_pebs_nhm()'s error path. We keep the pending_kill and pending_wakeup logic only in the __perf_event_overflow() path, because they make sense only if there's any data to deliver.
