perf tools: Don't clone maps from parent when synthesizing forks

2018-10-31T13:18:01+00:00

When synthesizing FORK events, we are trying to create thread objects for the already running tasks on the machine. Normally, for a kernel FORK event, we want to clone the parent's maps because that is what the kernel just did. But when synthesizing, this should not be done. If we do, we end up with overlapping maps as we process the sythesized MMAP2 events that get delivered shortly thereafter. Use the FORK event misc flags in an internal way to signal this situation, so we can elide the map clone when appropriate. Signed-off-by: David S.

perf/core: Store context switch out type in PERF_RECORD_SWITCH[_CPU_WIDE]

2018-04-17T12:47:39+00:00

Store preempting context switch out event into Perf trace as a part of PERF_RECORD_SWITCH[_CPU_WIDE] record. Percentage of preempting and non-preempting context switches help understanding the nature of workloads (CPU or IO bound) that are running on a machine; The event is treated as preemption one when task->state value of the thread being switched out is TASK_RUNNING. Event type encoding is implemented using PERF_RECORD_MISC_SWITCH_OUT_PREEMPT bit; Signed-off-by: Alexey Budankov Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: Alexander Shishkin Cc: Andi Kleen Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Namhyung Kim Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/9ff84e83-a0ca-dd82-a6d0-cb951689be74@linux.intel.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf/core: Implement fast breakpoint modification via _IOC_MODIFY_ATTRIBUTES

2018-03-13T14:24:02+00:00

Problem and motivation: Once a breakpoint perf event (PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT) is created, there is no flexibility to change the breakpoint type (bp_type), breakpoint address (bp_addr), or breakpoint length (bp_len). The only option is to close the perf event and configure a new breakpoint event. This inflexibility has a significant performance overhead. For example, sampling-based, lightweight performance profilers (and also concurrency bug detection tools), monitor different addresses for a short duration using PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT and change the address (bp_addr) to another address or change the kind of breakpoint (bp_type) from "write" to a "read" or vice-versa or change the length (bp_len) of the address being monitored. The cost of these modifications is prohibitive since it involves unmapping the circular buffer associated with the perf event, closing the perf event, opening another perf event and mmaping another circular buffer. Solution: The new ioctl flag for perf events, PERF_EVENT_IOC_MODIFY_ATTRIBUTES, introduced in this patch takes a pointer to a struct perf_event_attr as an argument to update an old breakpoint event with new address, type, and size. This facility allows retaining a previous mmaped perf events ring buffer and avoids having to close and reopen another perf event. This patch supports only changing PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT event type; future implementations can extend this feature. The patch replicates some of its functionality of modify_user_hw_breakpoint() in kernel/events/hw_breakpoint.c. modify_user_hw_breakpoint cannot be called directly since perf_event_ctx_lock() is already held in _perf_ioctl(). Evidence: Experiments show that the baseline (not able to modify an already created breakpoint) costs an order of magnitude (~10x) more than the suggested optimization (having the ability to dynamically modifying a configured breakpoint via ioctl). When the breakpoints typically do not trap, the speedup due to the suggested optimization is ~10x; even when the breakpoints always trap, the speedup is ~4x due to the suggested optimization. Testing: tests posted at https://github.com/linux-contrib/perf_event_modify_bp demonstrate the performance significance of this patch. Tests also check the functional correctness of the patch.
