Andre Przywara [Tue, 9 Oct 2012 15:38:35 +0000 (17:38 +0200)]
x86/perf: Fix virtualization sanity check

In check_hw_exists() we try to detect non-emulated MSR accesses
by writing an arbitrary value into one of the PMU registers
and check if it's value after a readout is still the same.
This algorithm silently assumes that the register does not contain
the magic value already, which is wrong in at least one situation.

Fix the algorithm to really do a read-modify-write cycle. This fixes
a warning under Xen under some circumstances on AMD family 10h CPUs.

The reasons in more details actually sound like a story from
Believe It or Not!:

First you need an AMD family 10h/12h CPU. These do not reset the
PERF_CTR registers on a reboot.
Now you boot bare metal Linux, which goes successfully through this
check, but leaves the magic value of 0xabcd in the register. You
don't use the performance counters, but do a reboot (warm reset).
Then you choose to boot Xen. The check will be triggered with a
recent Linux kernel as Dom0 again, trying to write 0xabcd into the
MSR. Xen silently drops the write (expected), but the subsequent read
will return the value in the register, which just happens to be the
expected magic value. Thus the test misleadingly succeeds, leaving
the kernel in the belief that the PMU is available. This will trigger
the following message:

Peter Zijlstra [Mon, 22 Oct 2012 18:15:40 +0000 (20:15 +0200)]
numa, sched: Implement slow start for working set sampling

Add a 1 second delay before starting to scan the working set of
a task and starting to balance it amongst nodes.

The theory is that short-run tasks benefit very little from NUMA
placement: they come and go, and they better stick to the node
they were started on. As tasks mature and rebalance to other CPUs
and nodes, so does their NUMA placement have to change and so
does it start to matter more and more.

In practice this change fixes an observable kbuild regression:

   # [ a perf stat --null --repeat 10 test of ten bzImage builds to /dev/shm ]

   !NUMA:
   45.291088843 seconds time elapsed                                          ( +-  0.40% )
   45.154231752 seconds time elapsed                                          ( +-  0.36% )

   +NUMA, no slow start:
   46.172308123 seconds time elapsed                                          ( +-  0.30% )
   46.343168745 seconds time elapsed                                          ( +-  0.25% )

   +NUMA, 1 sec slow start:
   45.224189155 seconds time elapsed                                          ( +-  0.25% )
   45.160866532 seconds time elapsed                                          ( +-  0.17% )

and it also fixes an observable perf bench (hackbench) regression:

   # perf stat --null --repeat 10 perf bench sched messaging

   -NUMA:

   -NUMA:                  0.246225691 seconds time elapsed                   ( +-  1.31% )
   +NUMA no slow start:    0.252620063 seconds time elapsed                   ( +-  1.13% )

   +NUMA 1sec delay:       0.248076230 seconds time elapsed                   ( +-  1.35% )

The implementation is simple and straightforward, most of the patch
deals with adding the /proc/sys/kernel/sched_numa_scan_delay_ms tunable
knob and with renaming task_period to scan_period.

x86, mm: Prevent gcc to re-read the pagetables

GCC is very likely to read the pagetables just once and cache them in
the local stack or in a register, but it is can also decide to re-read
the pagetables. The problem is that the pagetable in those places can
change from under gcc.

In the page fault we only hold the ->mmap_sem for reading and both the
page fault and MADV_DONTNEED only take the ->mmap_sem for reading and we
don't hold any PT lock yet.

In get_user_pages_fast() the TLB shootdown code can clear the pagetables
before firing any TLB flush (the page can't be freed until the TLB
flushing IPI has been delivered but the pagetables will be cleared well
before sending any TLB flushing IPI).

With THP/hugetlbfs the pmd (and pud for hugetlbfs giga pages) can
change as well under gup_fast, it won't just be cleared for the same
reasons described above for the pte in the page fault case.

11 years agomm: Check if PTE is already allocated during page fault
Mel Gorman [Wed, 12 Oct 2011 19:06:51 +0000 (21:06 +0200)]
mm: Check if PTE is already allocated during page fault

With transparent hugepage support, handle_mm_fault() has to be careful
that a normal PMD has been established before handling a PTE fault. To
achieve this, it used __pte_alloc() directly instead of pte_alloc_map
as pte_alloc_map is unsafe to run against a huge PMD. pte_offset_map()
is called once it is known the PMD is safe.

pte_alloc_map() is smart enough to check if a PTE is already present
before calling __pte_alloc but this check was lost. As a consequence,
PTEs may be allocated unnecessarily and the page table lock taken.
Thi useless PTE does get cleaned up but it's a performance hit which
is visible in page_test from aim9.

This patch simply re-adds the check normally done by pte_alloc_map to
check if the PTE needs to be allocated before taking the page table
lock. The effect is noticable in page_test from aim9.

 AIM9
                 2.6.38-vanilla 2.6.38-checkptenone
 creat-clo      446.10 ( 0.00%)   424.47 (-5.10%)

(While this affects 2.6.38, it is a performance rather than a
functional bug and normally outside the rules -stable. While the big
performance differences are to a microbench, the difference in fork
and exec performance may be significant enough that -stable wants to
consider the patch)

Luigi Semenzato [Tue, 21 Aug 2012 21:52:20 +0000 (14:52 -0700)]
perf tools: do not flush maps on COMM for perf report

This fixes a long-standing bug caused by the lack of separate COMM and EXEC
record types, which makes "perf report" lose track of symbols when a process
renames itself.

With this fix (suggested by Stephane Eranian), a COMM (rename) no longer
flushes the maps, which is the correct behavior.  An EXEC also no longer
flushes the maps, but this doesn't matter because as new mappings are created
(for the executable and the libraries) the old mappings are automatically
removed.  This is not by accident: the functionality is necessary because DLLs
can be explicitly loaded at any time with dlopen(), possibly on top of existing
text, so "perf report" handles correctly the clobbering of new mappings on top
of old ones.

An alternative patch (which I proposed earlier) would be to introduce a
separate PERF_RECORD_EXEC type, but it is a much larger change (about 300
lines) and is not necessary.

11 years agosched, numa, mm: Implement constant, per task Working Set Sampling (WSS) rate
Peter Zijlstra [Sun, 14 Oct 2012 14:59:13 +0000 (16:59 +0200)]
sched, numa, mm: Implement constant, per task Working Set Sampling (WSS) rate

Previously, to probe the working set of a task, we'd use
a very simple and crude method: mark all of its address
space PROT_NONE.

That method has various (obvious) disadvantages:

 - it samples the working set at dissimilar rates,
   giving some tasks a sampling quality advantage
   over others.

 - creates performance problems for tasks with very
   large working sets

 - over-samples processes with large address spaces but
   which only very rarely execute

Improve that method by keeping a rotating offset into the
address space that marks the current position of the scan,
and advance it by a constant rate (in a CPU cycles execution
proportional manner). If the offset reaches the last mapped
address of the mm then it then it starts over at the first
address.

The per-task nature of the working set sampling functionality
in this tree allows such constant rate, per task,
execution-weight proportional sampling of the working set,
with an adaptive sampling interval/frequency that goes from
once per 100 msecs up to just once per 1.6 seconds.
The current sampling volume is 256 MB per interval.

As tasks mature and converge their working set, so does the
sampling rate slow down to just a trickle, 256 MB per 1.6
seconds of CPU time executed.

This, beyond being adaptive, also rate-limits rarely
executing systems and does not over-sample on overloaded
systems.

[ In AutoNUMA speak, this patch deals with the effective sampling
  rate of the 'hinting page fault'. AutoNUMA's scanning is
  currently rate-limited, but it is also fundamentally
  single-threaded, executing in the knuma_scand kernel thread,
  so the limit in AutoNUMA is global and does not scale up with
  the number of CPUs, nor does it scan tasks in an execution
  proportional manner.

  So the idea of rate-limiting the scanning was first implemented
  in the AutoNUMA tree via a global rate limit. This patch goes
  beyond that by implementing an execution rate proportional
  working set sampling rate that is not implemented via a single
  global scanning daemon. ]

arm64: fix alignment padding in assembly code

An interesting effect of using the generic version of linkage.h
is that the padding is defined in terms of x86 NOPs, which can have
even more interesting effects when the assembly code looks like this:

ENTRY(func1)
mov x0, xzr
ENDPROC(func1)
// fall through
ENTRY(func2)
mov x0, #1
ret
ENDPROC(func2)

Admittedly, the code is not very nice. But having code from another
architecture doesn't look completely sane either.

The fix is to add arm64's version of linkage.h, which causes the insertion
of proper AArch64 NOPs.
