This patch provides relative overhead percentage, in which each

The cumul hits are the number of hits of every childs of a node

computing of a branch.

Theses numbers are calculated during the sorting of the branches of
the callchain tree using a depth first postfix traversal, so that
cumulative hits are propagated in the right order.

But if we plan to implement percentages relative to the parent and not
absolute percentages (relative to the whole overhead), we need to know
the cumulative hits of the parent before computing the children
because the relative minimum acceptable number of entries (ie: minimum
rate against the cumulative hits from the parent) is the basis to
filter the children against a given rate.

Then we need to handle the cumul hits on the fly to prepare the
implementation of relative overhead rates.

Occasionally we get bugs where atomic_read or atomic_set are

generate warnings on x86 because atomic_read and atomic_set are
coded as macros rather than C functions, so we don't get any
type-checking on their arguments; similarly for atomic64_read
and atomic64_set in 64-bit kernels.

This converts them to C functions so that the arguments are
type-checked and bugs like this will get caught more easily. It
also converts atomic_cmpxchg and atomic_xchg, and
atomic64_cmpxchg and atomic64_xchg on 64-bit, so we get
type-checking on their arguments too.

Compiling a typical 64-bit x86 config, this generates no new

15 years agoperf report: Add support for callchain graph output
Frederic Weisbecker [Thu, 2 Jul 2009 15:58:21 +0000 (17:58 +0200)]
perf report: Add support for callchain graph output

Currently, the printing of callchains is done in a single
vertical level, this is the "flat" mode:

8.25%  [k] copy_user_generic_string
             4.19%

                do_sync_read

                system_call_fastpath

This patch introduces a new "graph" mode which provides a
hierarchical output of factorized paths recursively sorted:

 8.25%  [k] copy_user_generic_string
                |

                |          |
                |           --0.10%-- sys_write

The command line has then changed.

By providing the -c option, the callchain will output in the
flat mode by default.

But you can override it:

    perf report -c graph

or

    perf report -c flat

You can also pass the abreviated mode:

    perf report -c g

or

    perf report -c gra

will both make use of the graph mode.

perf_counter tools: Add new OPT_CALLBACK_DEFAULT option

There is no predefined macro to create an option that can have
a custom value or a default one if none is given.

This patch provides a new helper OPT_CALLBACK_DEFAULT() which
defines such kind of option.

For example, considering an option -c, we want to get the
default value in the following cases:

    perf command -c -d
    perf command -d -c

And the foo value when it's given:

    perf command -c foo -d
    perf command -d -c foo

That's also why PARSE_OPT_LASTARG_DEFAULT is extended here to
support default values whatever the position of the option, not
only in the end.

Should it now be renamed to PARSE_OPT_ARG_DEFAULT ?

perf_counter tools: Create new chain_for_each_child() iterator

Iterating through children of a node in the callchain tree
shows something that may be quite confusing at a first glance.
The head is the children field of the parent and the list nodes
are in the brothers field of the children.

This is because the childs are linked to the parent as a list
of "brothers" using the "children" list of the parent as a
head:

  ---------------
 | Parent (head) |-------------------------------------
  ---------------                                      |
     |                                                 |
  children                                             |
     |                                                 |
  -----------               -----------                |
 | 1st child |---brother---| 2nd child |---brother-----
  -----------               -----------

This makes the following strange pattern often occuring:

 list_for_each_entry(child, &parent->children, brothers) {
        // do something with children
 }

Abstract it to chain_for_each_child() to factorize and simplify
this pattern.

Paul Mackerras [Wed, 1 Jul 2009 03:04:34 +0000 (13:04 +1000)]
perf_counter tools: Rework event string parsing/syntax

This reworks the parser for event descriptors to make it more
consistent in what it accepts.  It is now structured as a
recursive descent parser for the following grammar:

events ::= event ( ("," | space) space* event )*
event ::= ( raw_event | numeric_event | symbolic_event |
      generic_hw_event ) [ event_modifier ]
raw_event ::= "r" hex_number
numeric_event ::= number ":" number
number ::= decimal_number | "0x" hex_number | "0" octal_number
symbolic_event ::= string_from_event_symbols_array
generic_hw_event::= cache_type ( "-" ( cache_op | cache_result ) )*
event_modifier ::= ":" ( "u" | "k" | "h" )+

with the extra restriction that you can have at most one
cache_op and at most one cache_result.

We pass the current string pointer by reference (i.e. as a
const char **) to the various parsing functions so that they
can advance the pointer to indicate how much they consumed.
They return 0 if they didn't recognize the thing at the pointer
or 1 if they did (and advance the pointer past it).

This also fixes parse_aliases to take the longest matching
alias from the table, not the first one.  Otherwise "l1-data"
would match the "l1-d" alias and the "ata" would not be
consumed.

This allows event modifiers indicating what processor modes to
count in to be applied to any event, not just numeric events,
and adds a ":h" modifier to indicate counting in hypervisor
mode.  Specifying ":u" now sets both exclude_kernel and
exclude_hv, and so on.  Multiple modes can be specified, e.g.
":uk" will count in user or hypervisor mode (i.e. only
exclude_kernel will be set).

The symbol resolving has of course revealed some bugs in the
callchain tree handling. This patch fixes some of them,
including:

- inherit the children from the parents while splitting a node
- fix list range moving
- fix indexes setting in callchains
- create a child on the current node if the path doesn't match in
  the existent children (was only done on the root)
- compare using symbols when possible so that we can match a function
  using any ip inside by referring to its start address.

The practical effects are:

- remove double callchains
- fix upside down or any random order of callchains
- fix wrong paths
- fix bad hits and percentage accounts

15 years agomm: prevent balance_dirty_pages() from doing too much work
Richard Kennedy [Tue, 30 Jun 2009 18:41:35 +0000 (11:41 -0700)]
mm: prevent balance_dirty_pages() from doing too much work

balance_dirty_pages can overreact and move all of the dirty pages to
writeback unnecessarily.

balance_dirty_pages makes its decision to throttle based on the number of
dirty plus writeback pages that are over the calculated limit,so it will
continue to move pages even when there are plenty of pages in writeback
and less than the threshold still dirty.

This allows it to overshoot its limits and move all the dirty pages to
writeback while waiting for the drives to catch up and empty the writeback
list.

A simple fio test easily demonstrates this problem.

fio --name=f1 --directory=/disk1 --size=2G -rw=write --name=f2 --directory=/disk2 --size=1G --rw=write --startdelay=10

This is the simplest fix I could find, but I'm not entirely sure that it
alone will be enough for all cases.  But it certainly is an improvement on
my desktop machine writing to 2 disks.

Do we need something more for machines with large arrays where
bdi_threshold * number_of_drives is greater than the dirty_ratio ?

ext2_iget() returns -ESTALE if invoked on a deleted inode, in order to

-ESTALE can be propagated to userspace if the filesystem is corrupted such

misleading error message - "Stale NFS file handle" - and confusion on the

link to an unused inode using debugfs, then mounting and attempting to ls
-l said link.

This patch thus changes ext2_lookup to return -EIO if it receives -ESTALE
from ext2_iget(), as ext2 does for other filesystem metadata corruption;
and also invokes the appropriate ext*_error functions when this case is

15 years agogcov: fix __ctors_start alignment
Heiko Carstens [Tue, 30 Jun 2009 18:41:13 +0000 (11:41 -0700)]
gcov: fix __ctors_start alignment

The ctors section for each object file is eight byte aligned (on 64 bit).
However the __ctors_start symbol starts at an arbitrary address dependent
on the size of the previous sections.

Therefore the linker may add some zeroes after __ctors_start to make sure
the ctors contents are properly aligned.  However the extra zeroes at the
beginning aren't expected by the code.  When walking the functions
pointers contained in there and extra zeroes are added this may result in
random jumps.  So make sure that the __ctors_start symbol is always
aligned as well.

Fixes this crash on an allyesconfig on s390:

eventfd: revised interface and cleanups

Change the eventfd interface to de-couple the eventfd memory context, from
the file pointer instance.

Without such change, there is no clean way to racely free handle the
POLLHUP event sent when the last instance of the file* goes away.  Also,
now the internal eventfd APIs are using the eventfd context instead of the
file*.

This patch is required by KVM's IRQfd code, which is still under
development.
