Merge branch 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
"With over 300 commits it's been a busy cycle - with most of the work
concentrated on the tooling side (as it should).
The main kernel side enhancements were:
- Add per event callchain limit: Recently we introduced a sysctl to
tune the max-stack for all events for which callchains were
requested:
$ sysctl kernel.perf_event_max_stack
kernel.perf_event_max_stack = 127
Now this patch introduces a way to configure this per event, i.e.
this becomes possible:
$ perf record -e sched:*/max-stack=2/ -e block:*/max-stack=10/ -a
allowing finer tuning of how much buffer space callchains use.
This uses an u16 from the reserved space at the end, leaving
another u16 for future use.
There has been interest in even finer tuning, namely to control the
max stack for kernel and userspace callchains separately. Further
discussion is needed, we may for instance use the remaining u16 for
that and when it is present, assume that the sample_max_stack
introduced in this patch applies for the kernel, and the u16 left
is used for limiting the userspace callchain (Arnaldo Carvalho de
Melo)
- Optimize AUX event (hardware assisted side-band event) delivery
(Kan Liang)
- Rework Intel family name macro usage (this is partially x86 arch
work) (Dave Hansen)
- Refine and fix Intel LBR support (David Carrillo-Cisneros)
- Add support for Intel 'TopDown' events (Andi Kleen)
- Intel uncore PMU driver fixes and enhancements (Kan Liang)
- ... other misc changes.
Here's an incomplete list of the tooling enhancements (but there's
much more, see the shortlog and the git log for details):
- Support cross unwinding, i.e. collecting '--call-graph dwarf'
perf.data files in one machine and then doing analysis in another
machine of a different hardware architecture. This enables, for
instance, to do:
$ perf record -a --call-graph dwarf
on a x86-32 or aarch64 system and then do 'perf report' on it on a
x86_64 workstation (He Kuang)
- Allow reading from a backward ring buffer (one setup via
sys_perf_event_open() with perf_event_attr.write_backward = 1)
(Wang Nan)
- Finish merging initial SDT (Statically Defined Traces) support, see
cset comments for details about how it all works (Masami Hiramatsu)
- Support attaching eBPF programs to tracepoints (Wang Nan)
- Add demangling of symbols in programs written in the Rust language
(David Tolnay)
- Add support for tracepoints in the python binding, including an
example, that sets up and parses sched:sched_switch events,
tools/perf/python/tracepoint.py (Jiri Olsa)
- Introduce --stdio-color to set up the color output mode selection
in 'annotate' and 'report', allowing emit color escape sequences
when redirecting the output of these tools (Arnaldo Carvalho de
Melo)
- Add 'callindent' option to 'perf script -F', to indent the Intel PT
call stack, making this output more ftrace-like (Adrian Hunter,
Andi Kleen)
- Allow dumping the object files generated by llvm when processing
eBPF scriptlet events (Wang Nan)
- Add stackcollapse.py script to help generating flame graphs (Paolo
Bonzini)
- Add --ldlat option to 'perf mem' to specify load latency for loads
event (e.g. cpu/mem-loads/ ) (Jiri Olsa)
- Tooling support for Intel TopDown counters, recently added to the
kernel (Andi Kleen)"

objtool: Fix STACK_FRAME_NON_STANDARD macro checking for function symbols
Mathieu Desnoyers reported that the STACK_FRAME_NON_STANDARD macro wasn't working with the lttng_filter_interpret_bytecode() function in the lttng-modules code. Usually the relocation created by STACK_FRAME_NON_STANDARD creates a reference to a section symbol like this: Offset Type Value Addend Name 000000000000000000 X86_64_64 000000000000000000 +3136 .text But in this case it created a reference to a function symbol: Offset Type Value Addend Name 000000000000000000 X86_64_64 0x00000000000003a0 +0 lttng_filter_interpret_bytecode To be honest I have no idea what causes gcc to decide to do one over the other. But both are valid ELF, so add support for the function symbol.

objtool: Detect falling through to the next function
There are several cases in compiled C code where a function may not return at the end, and may instead fall through to the next function. That may indicate a bug in the code, or a gcc bug, or even an objtool bug. But in each case, objtool reports an unhelpful warning, something like: drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_attr.o: warning: objtool: qla2x00_get_fc_host_stats()+0x0: duplicate frame pointer save drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_attr.o: warning: objtool: qla2x00_get_fc_host_stats()+0x0: frame pointer state mismatch Detect this situation and print a more useful error message: drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_attr.o: warning: objtool: qla2x00_get_host_fabric_name() falls through to next function qla2x00_get_starget_node_name() Also add some information about this warning and its potential causes to the documentation.

objtool: Add workaround for GCC switch jump table bug
GCC has a rare quirk, currently only seen in three driver functions in the kernel, and only with certain obscure non-distro configs, which can cause objtool to produce "unreachable instruction" false positive warnings. As part of an optimization, GCC makes a copy of an existing switch jump table, modifies it, and then hard-codes the jump (albeit with an indirect jump) to use a single entry in the table. The rest of the jump table and some of its jump targets remain as dead code. In such a case we can just crudely ignore all unreachable instruction warnings for the entire object file. Ideally we would just ignore them for the function, but that would require redesigning the code quite a bit. And honestly that's just not worth doing: unreachable instruction warnings are of questionable value anyway, and this is a very rare issue. kbuild reports: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/201603231906.LWcVUpxm%25fengguang.wu@intel.com https://lkml.kernel.org/r/201603271114.K9i45biy%25fengguang.wu@intel.com https://lkml.kernel.org/r/201603291058.zuJ6ben1%25fengguang.wu@intel.com GCC bug: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=70604 Reported-by: kbuild test robot <fengguang.wu@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@redhat.com> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/700fa029bbb0feff34f03ffc69d666a3c3b57a61.1460663532.git.jpoimboe@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> |

objtool: Add several performance improvements
Use hash tables for instruction and rela lookups (and keep the linked lists around for sequential access). Also cache the section struct for the "__func_stack_frame_non_standard" section. With this change, "objtool check net/wireless/nl80211.o" goes from: real 0m1.168s user 0m1.163s sys 0m0.005s to: real 0m0.059s user 0m0.042s sys 0m0.017s for a 20x speedup. With the same object, it should be noted that the memory heap usage grew from 8MB to 62MB. Reducing the memory usage is on the TODO list.

objtool: Fix false positive warnings for functions with multiple switch statements
Ingo reported [1] some false positive objtool warnings: drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtlwifi/base.o: warning: objtool: rtlwifi_rate_mapping()+0x2e7: frame pointer state mismatch drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtlwifi/base.o: warning: objtool: rtlwifi_rate_mapping()+0x2f3: frame pointer state mismatch ... And so did the 0-day bot [2]: drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/cik.o: warning: objtool: cik_tiling_mode_table_init()+0x6ce: call without frame pointer save/setup drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/cik.o: warning: objtool: cik_tiling_mode_table_init()+0x72b: call without frame pointer save/setup ... Both sets of warnings involve functions which have multiple switch statements. When there's more than one switch statement in a function, objtool interprets all the switch jump tables as a single table. If the targets of one jump table assume a stack frame and the targets of another one don't, it prints false positive warnings. Fix the bug by detecting the size of each switch jump table. For multiple tables, each one ends where the next one begins.

objtool: Fix false positive warnings related to sibling calls
With some configs [1], objtool prints a bunch of false positive warnings like: arch/x86/events/core.o: warning: objtool: x86_del_exclusive()+0x0: frame pointer state mismatch For some reason this config has a bunch of sibling calls. When objtool follows a sibling call jump, it attempts to compare the frame pointer state. But it also accidentally compares the FENTRY state, resulting in a false positive warning.

objtool: Compile with debugging symbols
Compile objtool with debugging symbols ('-g') to help tools like perf

objtool: Prevent infinite recursion in noreturn detection
Ingo reported an infinite loop in objtool with a certain randconfig [1]. With the given config, two functions in crypto/ablkcipher.o contained sibling calls to each other, which threw the recursive call in dead_end_function() for a loop (literally!). Split the noreturn detection into two passes. In the first pass, check for return instructions. In the second pass, do the potentially recursive sibling call check. In most cases, the first pass will be good enough. In the rare case where a second pass is needed, recursion should hopefully no longer be possible.

objtool: Support CROSS_COMPILE
When building with CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION on a ppc64le host with an x86
cross-compiler, Stephen Rothwell saw the following objtool build errors:

compilation terminated.
objtool.c:28:19: fatal error: stdio.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
It fails to build because it tries to compile objtool with the
cross-compiler instead of the host compiler.
Ensure that it always uses the host compiler by ignoring CROSS_COMPILE.
In order to do that properly, the libsubcmd.a library needs to be built
in tools/objtool/ rather than tools/lib/subcmd/. The latter directory
contains the cross-compiled version which is needed for perf and
possibly other tools.
Note that cross-compiling for x86 on a _big_ endian system would result
in a bunch of false positive objtool warnings during the kernel build
because it isn't endian-aware. But that's generally a rare edge case
and there haven't been any reports of anybody needing that.

x86/asm/decoder: Use explicitly signed chars
When running objtool on a ppc64le host to analyze x86 binaries, it reports a lot of false warnings like: ipc/compat_mq.o: warning: objtool: compat_SyS_mq_open()+0x91: can't find jump dest instruction at .text+0x3a5 The warnings are caused by the x86 instruction decoder setting the wrong value for the jump instruction's immediate field because it assumes that "char == signed char", which isn't true for all architectures. When converting char to int, gcc sign-extends on x86 but doesn't sign-extend on ppc64le. According to the gcc man page, that's a feature, not a bug: > Each kind of machine has a default for what "char" should be. It is > either like "unsigned char" by default or like "signed char" by > default. > > Ideally, a portable program should always use "signed char" or > "unsigned char" when it depends on the signedness of an object. Conform to the "standards" by changing the "char" casts to "signed char". This results in no actual changes to the object code on x86. Note: the x86 decoder now lives in three different locations in the kernel tree, which are all kept in sync via makefile checks and warnings: in-kernel, perf, and objtool. This fixes all three locations. Eventually we should probably try to at least converge the two separate "tools" locations into a single shared location.

objtool: Add tool to perform compile-time stack metadata validation
This adds a host tool named objtool which has a "check" subcommand which
analyzes .o files to ensure the validity of stack metadata. It enforces
a set of rules on asm code and C inline assembly code so that stack
traces can be reliable.
For each function, it recursively follows all possible code paths and
validates the correct frame pointer state at each instruction.
It also follows code paths involving kernel special sections, like
.altinstructions, __jump_table, and __ex_table, which can add
alternative execution paths to a given instruction (or set of
instructions). Similarly, it knows how to follow switch statements, for
which gcc sometimes uses jump tables.
Here are some of the benefits of validating stack metadata:
a) More reliable stack traces for frame pointer enabled kernels
Frame pointers are used for debugging purposes. They allow runtime
code and debug tools to be able to walk the stack to determine the
chain of function call sites that led to the currently executing
code.
For some architectures, frame pointers are enabled by
CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER. For some other architectures they may be
required by the ABI (sometimes referred to as "backchain pointers").
For C code, gcc automatically generates instructions for setting up
frame pointers when the -fno-omit-frame-pointer option is used.
But for asm code, the frame setup instructions have to be written by
hand, which most people don't do. So the end result is that
CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is honored for C code but not for most asm code.
For stack traces based on frame pointers to be reliable, all
functions which call other functions must first create a stack frame
and update the frame pointer. If a first function doesn't properly
create a stack frame before calling a second function, the *caller*
of the first function will be skipped on the stack trace.
For example, consider the following example backtrace with frame
pointers enabled:
[<ffffffff81812584>] dump_stack+0x4b/0x63
[<ffffffff812d6dc2>] cmdline_proc_show+0x12/0x30
[<ffffffff8127f568>] seq_read+0x108/0x3e0
[<ffffffff812cce62>] proc_reg_read+0x42/0x70
[<ffffffff81256197>] __vfs_read+0x37/0x100
[<ffffffff81256b16>] vfs_read+0x86/0x130
[<ffffffff81257898>] SyS_read+0x58/0xd0
[<ffffffff8181c1f2>] entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x12/0x76
It correctly shows that the caller of cmdline_proc_show() is
seq_read().
If we remove the frame pointer logic from cmdline_proc_show() by
replacing the frame pointer related instructions with nops, here's
what it looks like instead:
[<ffffffff81812584>] dump_stack+0x4b/0x63
[<ffffffff812d6dc2>] cmdline_proc_show+0x12/0x30
[<ffffffff812cce62>] proc_reg_read+0x42/0x70
[<ffffffff81256197>] __vfs_read+0x37/0x100
[<ffffffff81256b16>] vfs_read+0x86/0x130
[<ffffffff81257898>] SyS_read+0x58/0xd0
[<ffffffff8181c1f2>] entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x12/0x76
Notice that cmdline_proc_show()'s caller, seq_read(), has been
skipped. Instead the stack trace seems to show that
cmdline_proc_show() was called by proc_reg_read().
The benefit of "objtool check" here is that because it ensures that
*all* functions honor CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER, no functions will ever[*]
be skipped on a stack trace.
[*] unless an interrupt or exception has occurred at the very
beginning of a function before the stack frame has been created,
or at the very end of the function after the stack frame has been
destroyed. This is an inherent limitation of frame pointers.
b) 100% reliable stack traces for DWARF enabled kernels
This is not yet implemented. For more details about what is planned,
see tools/objtool/Documentation/stack-validation.txt.
c) Higher live patching compatibility rate
This is not yet implemented. For more details about what is planned,
see tools/objtool/Documentation/stack-validation.txt.
To achieve the validation, "objtool check" enforces the following rules:
1. Each callable function must be annotated as such with the ELF
function type. In asm code, this is typically done using the
ENTRY/ENDPROC macros. If objtool finds a return instruction
outside of a function, it flags an error since that usually indicates
callable code which should be annotated accordingly.
This rule is needed so that objtool can properly identify each
callable function in order to analyze its stack metadata.
2. Conversely, each section of code which is *not* callable should *not*
be annotated as an ELF function. The ENDPROC macro shouldn't be used
in this case.
This rule is needed so that objtool can ignore non-callable code.
Such code doesn't have to follow any of the other rules.
3. Each callable function which calls another function must have the
correct frame pointer logic, if required by CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER or
the architecture's back chain rules. This can by done in asm code
with the FRAME_BEGIN/FRAME_END macros.
This rule ensures that frame pointer based stack traces will work as
designed. If function A doesn't create a stack frame before calling
function B, the _caller_ of function A will be skipped on the stack
trace.
4. Dynamic jumps and jumps to undefined symbols are only allowed if:
a) the jump is part of a switch statement; or
b) the jump matches sibling call semantics and the frame pointer has
the same value it had on function entry.
This rule is needed so that objtool can reliably analyze all of a
function's code paths. If a function jumps to code in another file,
and it's not a sibling call, objtool has no way to follow the jump
because it only analyzes a single file at a time.
5. A callable function may not execute kernel entry/exit instructions.
The only code which needs such instructions is kernel entry code,
which shouldn't be be in callable functions anyway.
This rule is just a sanity check to ensure that callable functions
return normally.
It currently only supports x86_64. I tried to make the code generic so
that support for other architectures can hopefully be plugged in
relatively easily.
On my Lenovo laptop with a i7-4810MQ 4-core/8-thread CPU, building the
kernel with objtool checking every .o file adds about three seconds of
total build time. It hasn't been optimized for performance yet, so
there are probably some opportunities for better build performance.
