mm: discard __GFP_ATOMIC

2022-06-27T20:44:58+00:00

__GFP_ATOMIC serves little purpose. Its main effect is to set ALLOC_HARDER which adds a few little boosts to increase the chance of an allocation succeeding, one of which is to lower the water-mark at which it will succeed. It is *always* paired with __GFP_HIGH which sets ALLOC_HIGH which also adjusts this watermark. It is probable that other users of __GFP_HIGH should benefit from the other little bonuses that __GFP_ATOMIC gets. __GFP_ATOMIC also gives a warning if used with __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM. There is little point to this. We already get a might_sleep() warning if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is set. __GFP_ATOMIC allows the "watermark_boost" to be side-stepped. It is probable that testing ALLOC_HARDER is a better fit here. __GFP_ATOMIC is used by tegra-smmu.c to check if the allocation might sleep. This should test __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM instead. This patch: - removes __GFP_ATOMIC - causes __GFP_HIGH to set ALLOC_HARDER unless __GFP_NOMEMALLOC is set (as well as ALLOC_HIGH). - makes other adjustments as suggested by the above. The net result is not change to GFP_ATOMIC allocations. Other allocations that use __GFP_HIGH will benefit from a few different extra privileges. This affects: xen, dm, md, ntfs3 the vermillion frame buffer hibernation ksm swap all of which likely produce more benefit than cost if these selected allocation are more likely to succeed quickly.

perf stat: Enable ignore_missing_thread

2022-06-26T15:32:55+00:00

perf already support ignore_missing_thread for -p, but not yet applied to `perf stat -p `. This patch enables ignore_missing_thread for `perf stat -p `. Committer notes: And here is a refresher about the 'ignore_missing_thread' knob, from a previous patch using it: ca8000684ec4e66f ("perf evsel: Enable ignore_missing_thread for pid option") --- While monitoring a multithread process with pid option, perf sometimes may return sys_perf_event_open failure with 3(No such process) if any of the process's threads die before we open the event. However, we want perf continue monitoring the remaining threads and do not exit with error. --- Signed-off-by: Gang Li Cc: Alexander Shishkin Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Mark Rutland Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Peter Zijlstra Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220622030037.15005-1-ligang.bdlg@bytedance.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf inject: Adjust output data offset for backward compatibility

2022-06-26T15:32:55+00:00

When 'perf inject' creates a new file, it reuses the data offset from the input file. If there has been a change on the size of the header, as happened in v5.12 -> v5.13, the new offsets will be wrong, resulting in a corrupted output file. This change adds the function perf_session__data_offset to compute the data offset based on the current header size, and uses that instead of the offset from the original input file.

perf build-id: Fix caching files with a wrong build ID

2022-06-26T15:32:55+00:00

Build ID events associate a file name with a build ID. However, when using perf inject, there is no guarantee that the file on the current machine at the current time has that build ID. Fix by comparing the build IDs and skip adding to the cache if they are different. Example: $ echo "int main() {return 0;}" > prog.c $ gcc -o prog prog.c $ perf record --buildid-all ./prog [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.019 MB perf.data ] $ file-buildid() { file $1 | awk -F= '{print $2}' | awk -F, '{print $1}' ; } $ file-buildid prog 444ad9be165d8058a48ce2ffb4e9f55854a3293e $ file-buildid ~/.debug/$(pwd)/prog/444ad9be165d8058a48ce2ffb4e9f55854a3293e/elf 444ad9be165d8058a48ce2ffb4e9f55854a3293e $ echo "int main() {return 1;}" > prog.c $ gcc -o prog prog.c $ file-buildid prog 885524d5aaa24008a3e2b06caa3ea95d013c0fc5 Before: $ perf buildid-cache --purge $(pwd)/prog $ perf inject -i perf.data -o junk $ file-buildid ~/.debug/$(pwd)/prog/444ad9be165d8058a48ce2ffb4e9f55854a3293e/elf 885524d5aaa24008a3e2b06caa3ea95d013c0fc5 $ After: $ perf buildid-cache --purge $(pwd)/prog $ perf inject -i perf.data -o junk $ file-buildid ~/.debug/$(pwd)/prog/444ad9be165d8058a48ce2ffb4e9f55854a3293e/elf $ Fixes: 454c407ec17a0c63 ("perf: add perf-inject builtin") Signed-off-by: Adrian Hunter Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Tom Zanussi Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220621125144.5623-1-adrian.hunter@intel.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf tools: Rework prologue generation code

2022-06-24T20:36:23+00:00

Some functions we use for bpf prologue generation are going to be deprecated. This change reworks current code not to use them. We need to replace following functions/struct: bpf_program__set_prep bpf_program__nth_fd struct bpf_prog_prep_result Currently we use bpf_program__set_prep to hook perf callback before program is loaded and provide new instructions with the prologue. We replace this function/ality by taking instructions for specific program, attaching prologue to them and load such new ebpf programs with prologue using separate bpf_prog_load calls (outside libbpf load machinery). Before we can take and use program instructions, we need libbpf to actually load it. This way we get the final shape of its instructions with all relocations and verifier adjustments). There's one glitch though.. perf kprobe program already assumes generated prologue code with proper values in argument registers, so loading such program directly will fail in the verifier. That's where the fallback pre-load handler fits in and prepends the initialization code to the program. Once such program is loaded we take its instructions, cut off the initialization code and prepend the prologue. I know.. sorry ;-) To have access to the program when loading this patch adds support to register 'fallback' section handler to take care of perf kprobe programs. The fallback means that it handles any section definition besides the ones that libbpf handles. The handler serves two purposes: - allows perf programs to have special arguments in section name - allows perf to use pre-load callback where we can attach init code (zeroing all argument registers) to each perf program Suggested-by: Andrii Nakryiko Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa Signed-off-by: Andrii Nakryiko Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Acked-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Link: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20220616202214.70359-2-jolsa@kernel.org
