perf: Supply task information to sched_task()

2025-03-17T10:23:37Z

To save/restore LBR call stack data in system-wide mode, the task_struct information is required. Extend the parameters of sched_task() to supply task_struct information. When schedule in, the LBR call stack data for new task will be restored. When schedule out, the LBR call stack data for old task will be saved. Only need to pass the required task_struct information.

powerpc/perf: Fix ref-counting on the PMU 'vpa_pmu'

2025-03-07T14:45:49Z

Commit 176cda0619b6 ("powerpc/perf: Add perf interface to expose vpa counters") introduced 'vpa_pmu' to expose Book3s-HV nested APIv2 provided L1<->L2 context switch latency counters to L1 user-space via perf-events. However the newly introduced PMU named 'vpa_pmu' doesn't assign ownership of the PMU to the module 'vpa_pmu'. Consequently the module 'vpa_pmu' can be unloaded while one of the perf-events are still active, which can lead to kernel oops and panic of the form below on a Pseries-LPAR: BUG: Kernel NULL pointer dereference on read at 0x00000058 NIP [c000000000506cb8] event_sched_out+0x40/0x258 LR [c00000000050e8a4] __perf_remove_from_context+0x7c/0x2b0 Call Trace: [c00000025fc3fc30] [c00000025f8457a8] 0xc00000025f8457a8 (unreliable) [c00000025fc3fc80] [fffffffffffffee0] 0xfffffffffffffee0 [c00000025fc3fcd0] [c000000000501e70] event_function+0xa8/0x120 Kernel panic - not syncing: Aiee, killing interrupt handler! Fix this by adding the module ownership to 'vpa_pmu' so that the module 'vpa_pmu' is ref-counted and prevented from being unloaded when perf-events are initialized.

arch/powerpc/perf: Update get_mem_data_src function to use saved values of sier and mmcra regs

2025-02-11T06:03:11Z

During performance monitor interrupt handling, the regs are setup using perf_read_regs function. Here some of the pt_regs fields is overloaded. Samples Instruction Event Register (SIER) is loaded into pt_regs, overloading regs->dar. And regs->dsisr to store MMCRA (Monitor Mode Control Register A) so that we only need to read these once on each interrupt. Update the isa207_get_mem_data_src function to use regs->dar instead of reading from SPRN_SIER again. Also use regs->dsisr to read the mmcra value Signed-off-by: Athira Rajeev Signed-off-by: Madhavan Srinivasan Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250121131621.39054-2-atrajeev@linux.vnet.ibm.com

arch/powerpc/perf: Check the instruction type before creating sample with perf_mem_data_src

2025-02-11T06:03:11Z

perf mem report aborts as below sometimes (during some corner case) in powerpc: # ./perf mem report 1>out *** stack smashing detected ***: terminated Aborted (core dumped) The backtrace is as below: __pthread_kill_implementation () raise () abort () __libc_message __fortify_fail __stack_chk_fail hist_entry.lvl_snprintf __sort__hpp_entry __hist_entry__snprintf hists.fprintf cmd_report cmd_mem Snippet of code which triggers the issue from tools/perf/util/sort.c static int hist_entry__lvl_snprintf(struct hist_entry *he, char *bf, size_t size, unsigned int width) { char out[64]; perf_mem__lvl_scnprintf(out, sizeof(out), he->mem_info); return repsep_snprintf(bf, size, "%-*s", width, out); } The value of "out" is filled from perf_mem_data_src value. Debugging this further showed that for some corner cases, the value of "data_src" was pointing to wrong value. This resulted in bigger size of string and causing stack check fail. The perf mem data source values are captured in the sample via isa207_get_mem_data_src function. The initial check is to fetch the type of sampled instruction. If the type of instruction is not valid (not a load/store instruction), the function returns. Since 'commit e16fd7f2cb1a ("perf: Use sample_flags for data_src")', data_src field is not initialized by the perf_sample_data_init() function. If the PMU driver doesn't set the data_src value to zero if type is not valid, this will result in uninitailised value for data_src. The uninitailised value of data_src resulted in stack check fail followed by abort for "perf mem report". When requesting for data source information in the sample, the instruction type is expected to be load or store instruction. In ISA v3.0, due to hardware limitation, there are corner cases where the instruction type other than load or store is observed. In ISA v3.0 and before values "0" and "7" are considered reserved. In ISA v3.1, value "7" has been used to indicate "larx/stcx". Drop the sample if instruction type has reserved values for this field with a ISA version check. Initialize data_src to zero in isa207_get_mem_data_src if the instruction type is not load/store.

powerpc/perf: Add per-task/process monitoring to vpa_pmu driver

2024-11-19T03:11:30Z

Enhance the vpa_pmu driver with a feature to observe context switch latency event for both per-task (tid) and per-pid (pid) option. Couple of new helper functions are added to hide the abstraction of reading the context switch latency counter from kvm_vcpu_arch struct and these helper functions are defined in the "kvm/book3s_hv.c". "PERF_ATTACH_TASK" flag is used to decide whether to read the counter values from lppaca or kvm_vcpu_arch struct.
