bpf: Fix the build on BPF_SYSCALL=y && !CONFIG_TRACING kernels, make it more configurable
So bpf_tracing.o depends on CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL - but that's not its only
dependency, it also depends on the tracing infrastructure and on kprobes,
without which it will fail to build with:
In file included from kernel/trace/bpf_trace.c:14:0:
kernel/trace/trace.h: In function ‘trace_test_and_set_recursion’:
kernel/trace/trace.h:491:28: error: ‘struct task_struct’ has no member named ‘trace_recursion’
unsigned int val = current->trace_recursion;
[...]
It took quite some time to trigger this build failure, because right now
BPF_SYSCALL is very obscure, depends on CONFIG_EXPERT. So also make BPF_SYSCALL
more configurable, not just under CONFIG_EXPERT.
If BPF_SYSCALL, tracing and kprobes are enabled then enable the bpf_tracing
gateway as well.
We might want to make this an interactive option later on, although
I'd not complicate it unnecessarily: enabling BPF_SYSCALL is enough of
an indicator that the user wants BPF support.

One BPF program attaches to kmem_cache_alloc_node() and
remembers all allocated objects in the map.
Another program attaches to kmem_cache_free() and deletes
corresponding object from the map.
User space walks the map every second and prints any objects
which are older than 1 second.
Usage:
$ sudo tracex4
Then start few long living processes. The 'tracex4' will print
something like this:
obj 0xffff880465928000 is 13sec old was allocated at ip ffffffff8105dc32
obj 0xffff88043181c280 is 13sec old was allocated at ip ffffffff8105dc32

obj 0xffff8804338bc280 is 15sec old was allocated at ip ffffffff8105dc32
$ addr2line -fispe vmlinux ffffffff8105dc32
do_fork at fork.c:1665
As soon as processes exit the memory is reclaimed and 'tracex4'
prints nothing.
Similar experiment can be done with the __kmalloc()/kfree() pair.

BPF C program attaches to
blk_mq_start_request()/blk_update_request() kprobe events to
calculate IO latency.
For every completed block IO event it computes the time delta
in nsec and records in a histogram map:
map[log10(delta)*10]++
User space reads this histogram map every 2 seconds and prints
it as a 'heatmap' using gray shades of text terminal. Black
spaces have many events and white spaces have very few events.
Left most space is the smallest latency, right most space is
the largest latency in the range.
Usage:
$ sudo ./tracex3
and do 'sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/null' in other terminal.
Observe IO latencies and how different activity (like 'make
kernel') affects it.
Similar experiments can be done for network transmit latencies,
syscalls, etc.
'-t' flag prints the heatmap using normal ascii characters:
samples/bpf: Add counting example for kfree_skb() function calls and the write() syscall
this example has two probes in one C file that attach to
different kprove events and use two different maps.
1st probe is x64 specific equivalent of dropmon. It attaches to
kfree_skb, retrevies 'ip' address of kfree_skb() caller and
counts number of packet drops at that 'ip' address. User space
prints 'location - count' map every second.
2nd probe attaches to kprobe:sys_write and computes a histogram
of different write sizes
samples/bpf: Add simple non-portable kprobe filter example
tracex1_kern.c - C program compiled into BPF.
It attaches to kprobe:netif_receive_skb()
When skb->dev->name == "lo", it prints sample debug message into
trace_pipe via bpf_trace_printk() helper function.
tracex1_user.c - corresponding user space component that:
- loads BPF program via bpf() syscall
- opens kprobes:netif_receive_skb event via perf_event_open()
syscall
- attaches the program to event via ioctl(event_fd,
PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_BPF, prog_fd);
- prints from trace_pipe
Note, this BPF program is non-portable. It must be recompiled
with current kernel headers. kprobe is not a stable ABI and
BPF+kprobe scripts may no longer be meaningful when kernel
internals change.
No matter in what way the kernel changes, neither the kprobe,
nor the BPF program can ever crash or corrupt the kernel,
assuming the kprobes, perf and BPF subsystem has no bugs.
The verifier will detect that the program is using
bpf_trace_printk() and the kernel will print 'this is a DEBUG
kernel' warning banner, which means that bpf_trace_printk()
should be used for debugging of the BPF program only.
tracing: Allow BPF programs to call bpf_trace_printk()
Debugging of BPF programs needs some form of printk from the
program, so let programs call limited trace_printk() with %d %u
%x %p modifiers only.
Similar to kernel modules, during program load verifier checks
whether program is calling bpf_trace_printk() and if so, kernel
allocates trace_printk buffers and emits big 'this is debug
only' banner.

tracing, perf: Implement BPF programs attached to kprobes
BPF programs, attached to kprobes, provide a safe way to execute
user-defined BPF byte-code programs without being able to crash or
hang the kernel in any way. The BPF engine makes sure that such
programs have a finite execution time and that they cannot break
out of their sandbox.
The user interface is to attach to a kprobe via the perf syscall:
'prog_fd' is a file descriptor associated with BPF program
previously loaded.
'event_id' is an ID of the kprobe created.
Closing 'event_fd':
close(event_fd);
... automatically detaches BPF program from it.
BPF programs can call in-kernel helper functions to:
- lookup/update/delete elements in maps
- probe_read - wraper of probe_kernel_read() used to access any
kernel data structures
BPF programs receive 'struct pt_regs *' as an input ('struct pt_regs' is
architecture dependent) and return 0 to ignore the event and 1 to store
kprobe event into the ring buffer.
Note, kprobes are a fundamentally _not_ a stable kernel ABI,
so BPF programs attached to kprobes must be recompiled for
every kernel version and user must supply correct LINUX_VERSION_CODE
in attr.kern_version during bpf_prog_load() call.

are used, like session->ordered_events->tool, to shorten function

needed for the ordered_events code, we need it there and might as well
use it for other perf_session needs.
This fixes a problem where 'perf script' had some condition that made
session->ordered_events not to be initialized even with its

looks like another bug and needs to be investigated further.
Always initializing session->ordered_events at least leaves the current

perf: Add per event clockid support
While thinking on the whole clock discussion it occurred to me we have
two distinct uses of time:
1) the tracking of event/ctx/cgroup enabled/running/stopped times
which includes the self-monitoring support in struct
perf_event_mmap_page.
2) the actual timestamps visible in the data records.
And we've been conflating them.
The first is all about tracking time deltas, nobody should really care
in what time base that happens, its all relative information, as long
as its internally consistent it works.
The second however is what people are worried about when having to
merge their data with external sources. And here we have the
discussion on MONOTONIC vs MONOTONIC_RAW etc..
Where MONOTONIC is good for correlating between machines (static
offset), MONOTNIC_RAW is required for correlating against a fixed rate
hardware clock.
This means configurability; now 1) makes that hard because it needs to
be internally consistent across groups of unrelated events; which is
why we had to have a global perf_clock().
However, for 2) it doesn't really matter, perf itself doesn't care
what it writes into the buffer.
The below patch makes the distinction between these two cases by
adding perf_event_clock() which is used for the second case. It
further makes this configurable on a per-event basis, but adds a few
sanity checks such that we cannot combine events with different clocks
in confusing ways.
And since we then have per-event configurability we might as well
retain the 'legacy' behaviour as a default.

perf/x86/intel: Add INST_RETIRED.ALL workarounds
On Broadwell INST_RETIRED.ALL cannot be used with any period
that doesn't have the lowest 6 bits cleared. And the period
should not be smaller than 128.
BDM11: When using a period < 100; we may get incorrect PEBS/PMI
interrupts and/or an invalid counter state.
BDM55: When bit0-5 of the period are !0 we may get redundant PEBS
records on overflow.
Add a new callback to enforce this, and set it for Broadwell.
How does this handle the case when an app requests a specific
period with some of the bottom bits set?
Short answer:
Any useful instruction sampling period needs to be 4-6 orders
of magnitude larger than 128, as an PMI every 128 instructions
would instantly overwhelm the system and be throttled.
So the +-64 error from this is really small compared to the
period, much smaller than normal system jitter.
Long answer (by Peterz):
IFF we guarantee perf_event_attr::sample_period >= 128.
Suppose we start out with sample_period=192; then we'll set period_left
to 192, we'll end up with left = 128 (we truncate the lower bits). We
get an interrupt, find that period_left = 64 (>0 so we return 0 and
don't get an overflow handler), up that to 128. Then we trigger again,
at n=256. Then we find period_left = -64 (<=0 so we return 1 and do get
an overflow). We increment with sample_period so we get left = 128. We
fire again, at n=384, period_left = 0 (<=0 so we return 1 and get an
overflow). And on and on.
So while the individual interrupts are 'wrong' we get then with
interval=256,128 in exactly the right ratio to average out at 192. And
this works for everything >=128.
So the num_samples*fixed_period thing is still entirely correct +- 127,
which is good enough I'd say, as you already have that error anyhow.
So no need to 'fix' the tools, al we need to do is refuse to create
INST_RETIRED:ALL events with sample_period < 128.

hotpath. In fact, once it is removed, we can remove the
conditional branches from sched_clock() and install a dummy
read_sched_clock function to suspend the clock.
The new master copy of the function pointer
(actual_read_sched_clock) is introduced and is used for all
reads of the clock hardware except those within sched_clock
itself.

timers, sched/clock: Optimize cache line usage
Currently sched_clock(), a very hot code path, is not optimized
to minimise its cache profile. In particular:
1. cd is not ____cacheline_aligned,
2. struct clock_data does not distinguish between hotpath and
coldpath data, reducing locality of reference in the hotpath,
3. Some hotpath data is missing from struct clock_data and is marked
__read_mostly (which more or less guarantees it will not share a
cache line with cd).
This patch corrects these problems by extracting all hotpath
data into a separate structure and using ____cacheline_aligned
to ensure the hotpath uses a single (64 byte) cache line.

timers, sched/clock: Match scope of read and write seqcounts
Currently the scope of the raw_write_seqcount_begin/end() in
sched_clock_register() far exceeds the scope of the read section
in sched_clock(). This gives the impression of safety during
cursory review but achieves little.
Note that this is likely to be a latent issue at present because
sched_clock_register() is typically called before we enable
interrupts, however the issue does risk bugs being needlessly
introduced as the code evolves.
This patch fixes the problem by increasing the scope of the read
locking performed by sched_clock() to cover all data modified by
sched_clock_register.
We also improve clarity by moving writes to struct clock_data
that do not impact sched_clock() outside of the critical
section.

Dave Chinner reported the following on https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/3/1/226
Across the board the 4.0-rc1 numbers are much slower, and the degradation
is far worse when using the large memory footprint configs. Perf points
straight at the cause - this is from 4.0-rc1 on the "-o bhash=101073" config:
This is showing excessive migration activity even though excessive
migrations are meant to get throttled. Normally, the scan rate is tuned
on a per-task basis depending on the locality of faults. However, if
migrations fail for any reason then the PTE scanner may scan faster if
the faults continue to be remote. This means there is higher system CPU
overhead and fault trapping at exactly the time we know that migrations
cannot happen. This patch tracks when migration failures occur and
slows the PTE scanner.

mm: numa: group related processes based on VMA flags instead of page table flags
These are three follow-on patches based on the xfsrepair workload Dave
Chinner reported was problematic in 4.0-rc1 due to changes in page table
management -- https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/3/1/226.
Much of the problem was reduced by commit 53da3bc2ba9e ("mm: fix up numa
read-only thread grouping logic") and commit ba68bc0115eb ("mm: thp:
Return the correct value for change_huge_pmd"). It was known that the
performance in 3.19 was still better even if is far less safe. This
series aims to restore the performance without compromising on safety.
For the test of this mail, I'm comparing 3.19 against 4.0-rc4 and the
three patches applied on top
Overall the system CPU usage is comparable and the test is naturally a
bit variable. The slowing of the scanner hurts numa01 but on this
machine it is an adverse workload and patches that dramatically help it
often hurt absolutely everything else.
Due to patch 2, the fault activity is interesting

Major Faults 362 450 365 364 365
Note the impact preserving the write bit across protection updates and
fault reduces faults.
Here the impact of slowing the PTE scanner on migratrion failures is
obvious as "NUMA base PTE updates" and "NUMA huge PMD updates" are
massively reduced even though the headline performance is very similar.
As xfsrepair was the reported workload here is the impact of the series
on it.
The really relevant lines as syst-xfsrepair which is the system CPU
usage when running xfsrepair. Note that on my machine the overhead was
45% higher on 4.0-rc4 which may be part of what Dave is seeing. Once we
preserve the write bit across faults, it's only 2.51% higher on average.
With the full series applied, system CPU usage is 24.6% lower on
average.
Again, the impact of preserving the write bit on minor faults is obvious
and the impact of slowing scanning after migration failures is obvious
on the PTE updates. Note also that the number of pages migrated is much
reduced even though the headline performance is comparable.

FWIW, I also checked SPECjbb in different configurations but it's
similar observations -- minor faults lower, PTE update activity lower
and performance is roughly comparable against 3.19.
This patch (of 3):
Threads that share writable data within pages are grouped together as
related tasks. This decision is based on whether the PTE is marked
dirty which is subject to timing races between the PTE scanner update
and when the application writes the page. If the page is file-backed,

unpredictable behaviour which is impossible to reason about so this

hfsplus: fix B-tree corruption after insertion at position 0
Fix B-tree corruption when a new record is inserted at position 0 in the
node in hfs_brec_insert(). In this case a hfs_brec_update_parent() is
called to update the parent index node (if exists) and it is passed
hfs_find_data with a search_key containing a newly inserted key instead
of the key to be updated. This results in an inconsistent index node.
The bug reproduces on my machine after an extents overflow record for
the catalog file (CNID=4) is inserted into the extents overflow B-tree.
Because of a low (reserved) value of CNID=4, it has to become the first
record in the first leaf node.
A change in hfs_brec_insert() makes hfs_brec_update_parent() work
correctly by preventing it from getting fd->record=-1 value from
__hfs_brec_find().
Along the way, I removed duplicate code with unification of the if
condition. The resulting code is equivalent to the original code
because node is never 0.
Also hfs_brec_update_parent() will now return an error after getting a
negative fd->record value. However, the return value of
hfs_brec_update_parent() is not checked anywhere in the file and I'm
leaving it unchanged by this patch. brec.c lacks error checking after
some other calls too, but this issue is of less importance than the one
being fixed by this patch.

mm/page_alloc.c: call kernel_map_pages in unset_migrateype_isolate
Commit 3c605096d315 ("mm/page_alloc: restrict max order of merging on

check the buddy allocator and explicitly call __free_pages to merge.
The page that is being freed in this path never had prep_new_page called
so set_page_refcounted is called explicitly but there is no call to
kernel_map_pages. With the default kernel_map_pages this is mostly
harmless but if kernel_map_pages does any manipulation of the page

mm/slub: fix lockups on PREEMPT && !SMP kernels
Commit 9aabf810a67c ("mm/slub: optimize alloc/free fastpath by removing
preemption on/off") introduced an occasional hang for kernels built with
CONFIG_PREEMPT && !CONFIG_SMP.
The problem is the following loop the patch introduced to
slab_alloc_node and slab_free:
do {
tid = this_cpu_read(s->cpu_slab->tid);
c = raw_cpu_ptr(s->cpu_slab);
} while (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PREEMPT) && unlikely(tid != c->tid));
GCC 4.9 has been observed to hoist the load of c and c->tid above the
loop for !SMP kernels (as in this case raw_cpu_ptr(x) is compile-time
constant and does not force a reload). On arm64 the generated assembly
looks like:
If the thread is preempted between the load of c->tid (into x1) and tid
(into x4), and an allocation or free occurs in another thread (bumping
the cpu_slab's tid), the thread will be stuck in the loop until
s->cpu_slab->tid wraps, which may be forever in the absence of
allocations/frees on the same CPU.
This patch changes the loop condition to access c->tid with READ_ONCE.
This ensures that the value is reloaded even when the compiler would
otherwise assume it could cache the value, and also ensures that the
load will not be torn.

The cause is the "memset(pgdat, 0, sizeof(*pgdat))" at the end of
try_offline_node, which will reset all the content of pgdat to 0, as the
pgdat is accessed lock-free, so that the users still using the pgdat
will panic, such as the vmstat_update routine.
process A: offline node XX:
vmstat_updat()
refresh_cpu_vm_stats()
for_each_populated_zone()
find online node XX
cond_resched()
offline cpu and memory, then try_offline_node()
node_set_offline(nid), and memset(pgdat, 0, sizeof(*pgdat))
zone = next_zone(zone)
pg_data_t *pgdat = zone->zone_pgdat; // here pgdat is NULL now
next_online_pgdat(pgdat)
next_online_node(pgdat->node_id); // NULL pointer access
So the solution here is postponing the reset of obsolete pgdat from
try_offline_node() to hotadd_new_pgdat(), and just resetting
pgdat->nr_zones and pgdat->classzone_idx to be 0 rather than the memset
0 to avoid breaking pointer information in pgdat.

mm/pagewalk.c: prevent positive return value of walk_page_test() from being passed to callers
walk_page_test() is purely pagewalk's internal stuff, and its positive
return values are not intended to be passed to the callers of pagewalk.
However, in the current code if the last vma in the do-while loop in
walk_page_range() happens to return a positive value, it leaks outside
walk_page_range(). So the user visible effect is invalid/unexpected
return value (according to the reporter, mbind() causes it.)
This patch fixes it simply by reinitializing the return value after
checked.
Another exposed interface, walk_page_vma(), already returns 0 for such
cases so no problem.

mm: fix anon_vma->degree underflow in anon_vma endless growing prevention
I have constantly stumbled upon "kernel BUG at mm/rmap.c:399!" after
upgrading to 3.19 and had no luck with 4.0-rc1 neither.
So, after looking into new logic introduced by commit 7a3ef208e662 ("mm:
prevent endless growth of anon_vma hierarchy"), I found chances are that
unlink_anon_vmas() is called without incrementing dst->anon_vma->degree
in anon_vma_clone() due to allocation failure. If dst->anon_vma is not
NULL in error path, its degree will be incorrectly decremented in
unlink_anon_vmas() and eventually underflow when exiting as a result of
another call to unlink_anon_vmas(). That's how "kernel BUG at
mm/rmap.c:399!" is triggered for me.
This patch fixes the underflow by dropping dst->anon_vma when allocation
fails. It's safe to do so regardless of original value of dst->anon_vma
because dst->anon_vma doesn't have valid meaning if anon_vma_clone()
fails. Besides, callers don't care dst->anon_vma in such case neither.
Also suggested by Michal Hocko, we can clean up vma_adjust() a bit as
anon_vma_clone() now does the work.

to load the symtab in the dso->load_errno member, and provide a

string with a short reason for the error while loading.
That can be just forwarding the dso__strerror_load() call to
strerror_r(), or, for a separate errno range providing a custom message.
