perf/core: Add ::write_backward attribute to perf event
This patch introduces 'write_backward' bit to perf_event_attr, which
controls the direction of a ring buffer. After set, the corresponding
ring buffer is written from end to beginning. This feature is design to
support reading from overwritable ring buffer.
Ring buffer can be created by mapping a perf event fd. Kernel puts event
records into ring buffer, user tooling like perf fetch them from
address returned by mmap(). To prevent racing between kernel and tooling,
they communicate to each other through 'head' and 'tail' pointers.
Kernel maintains 'head' pointer, points it to the next free area (tail
of the last record). Tooling maintains 'tail' pointer, points it to the
tail of last consumed record (record has already been fetched). Kernel
determines the available space in a ring buffer using these two
pointers to avoid overwrite unfetched records.
By mapping without 'PROT_WRITE', an overwritable ring buffer is created.
Different from normal ring buffer, tooling is unable to maintain 'tail'
pointer because writing is forbidden. Therefore, for this type of ring
buffers, kernel overwrite old records unconditionally, works like flight
recorder. This feature would be useful if reading from overwritable ring
buffer were as easy as reading from normal ring buffer. However,
there's an obscure problem.
The following figure demonstrates a full overwritable ring buffer. In
this figure, the 'head' pointer points to the end of last record, and a
long record 'E' is pending. For a normal ring buffer, a 'tail' pointer
would have pointed to position (X), so kernel knows there's no more
space in the ring buffer. However, for an overwritable ring buffer,
kernel ignore the 'tail' pointer.
(X) head
. |
. V
+------+-------+----------+------+---+
|A....A|B.....B|C........C|D....D| |
+------+-------+----------+------+---+
Record 'A' is overwritten by event 'E':
head
|
V
+--+---+-------+----------+------+---+
|.E|..A|B.....B|C........C|D....D|E..|
+--+---+-------+----------+------+---+
Now tooling decides to read from this ring buffer. However, none of these
two natural positions, 'head' and the start of this ring buffer, are
pointing to the head of a record. Even the full ring buffer can be
accessed by tooling, it is unable to find a position to start decoding.
The first attempt tries to solve this problem AFAIK can be found from
[1]. It makes kernel to maintain 'tail' pointer: updates it when ring
buffer is half full. However, this approach introduces overhead to
fast path. Test result shows a 1% overhead [2]. In addition, this method
utilizes no more tham 50% records.
Another attempt can be found from [3], which allows putting the size of
an event at the end of each record. This approach allows tooling to find
records in a backward manner from 'head' pointer by reading size of a
record from its tail. However, because of alignment requirement, it
needs 8 bytes to record the size of a record, which is a huge waste. Its
performance is also not good, because more data need to be written.
This approach also introduces some extra branch instructions to fast
path.
'write_backward' is a better solution to this problem.
Following figure demonstrates the state of the overwritable ring buffer
when 'write_backward' is set before overwriting:
head
|
V
+---+------+----------+-------+------+
| |D....D|C........C|B.....B|A....A|
+---+------+----------+-------+------+
and after overwriting:
head
|
V
+---+------+----------+-------+---+--+
|..E|D....D|C........C|B.....B|A..|E.|
+---+------+----------+-------+---+--+
In each situation, 'head' points to the beginning of the newest record.
From this record, tooling can iterate over the full ring buffer and fetch
records one by one.
The only limitation that needs to be considered is back-to-back reading.
Due to the non-deterministic of user programs, it is impossible to ensure
the ring buffer keeps stable during reading. Consider an extreme situation:
tooling is scheduled out after reading record 'D', then a burst of events
come, eat up the whole ring buffer (one or multiple rounds). When the
tooling process comes back, reading after 'D' is incorrect now.
To prevent this problem, we need to find a way to ensure the ring buffer
is stable during reading. ioctl(PERF_EVENT_IOC_PAUSE_OUTPUT) is
suggested because its overhead is lower than
ioctl(PERF_EVENT_IOC_ENABLE).
By carefully verifying 'header' pointer, reader can avoid pausing the
ring-buffer. For example:
/* A union of all possible events */
union perf_event event;
p = head = perf_mmap__read_head();
while (true) {
/* copy header of next event */
fetch(&event.header, p, sizeof(event.header));
/* read 'head' pointer */
head = perf_mmap__read_head();
/* check overwritten: is the header good? */
if (!verify(sizeof(event.header), p, head))
break;
/* copy the whole event */
fetch(&event, p, event.header.size);
/* read 'head' pointer again */
head = perf_mmap__read_head();
/* is the whole event good? */
if (!verify(event.header.size, p, head))
break;
p += event.header.size;
}
However, the overhead is high because:
a) In-place decoding is not safe.
Copying-verifying-decoding is required.
b) Fetching 'head' pointer requires additional synchronization.
(From Alexei Starovoitov:
Even when this trick works, pause is needed for more than stability of
reading. When we collect the events into overwrite buffer we're waiting
for some other trigger (like all cpu utilization spike or just one cpu
running and all others are idle) and when it happens the buffer has
valuable info from the past. At this point new events are no longer
interesting and buffer should be paused, events read and unpaused until
next trigger comes.)
This patch utilizes event's default overflow_handler introduced
previously. perf_event_output_backward() is created as the default
overflow handler for backward ring buffers. To avoid extra overhead to
fast path, original perf_event_output() becomes __perf_event_output()
and marked '__always_inline'. In theory, there's no extra overhead
introduced to fast path.
Performance testing:
Calling 3000000 times of 'close(-1)', use gettimeofday() to check
duration. Use 'perf record -o /dev/null -e raw_syscalls:*' to capture
system calls. In ns.
Testing environment:
CPU : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4790 CPU @ 3.60GHz
Kernel : v4.5.0
MEAN STDVAR
BASE 800214.950 2853.083
PRE1 2253846.700 9997.014
PRE2 2257495.540 8516.293
POST 2250896.100 8933.921
Where 'BASE' is pure performance without capturing. 'PRE1' is test
result of pure 'v4.5.0' kernel. 'PRE2' is test result before this
patch. 'POST' is test result after this patch. See [4] for the detailed
experimental setup.
Considering the stdvar, this patch doesn't introduce performance
overhead to the fast path.

virtio: add VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_NEEDS_RESET device status bit
The VIRTIO 1.0 specification added the DEVICE_NEEDS_RESET device status bit in "VIRTIO-98: Add DEVICE_NEEDS_RESET". This patch defines the device status bit in the uapi header file so that both the kernel and userspace applications can use it. The bit is currently unused by the virtio guest drivers and vhost. According to the spec "a good implementation will try to recover by issuing a reset". This is not attempted here because it requires auditing the virtio drivers to ensure there are no resource leaks or crashes if the device needs to be reset mid-operation. See "2.1 Device Status Field" in the VIRTIO 1.0 specification for details. Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com> |

perf/ring_buffer: Introduce new ioctl options to pause and resume the ring-buffer
Add new ioctl() to pause/resume ring-buffer output. In some situations we want to read from the ring-buffer only when we ensure nothing can write to the ring-buffer during reading. Without this patch we have to turn off all events attached to this ring-buffer to achieve this. This patch is a prerequisite to enable overwrite support for the perf ring-buffer support. Following commits will introduce new methods support reading from overwrite ring buffer. Before reading, caller must ensure the ring buffer is frozen, or the reading is unreliable.

bpf: make padding in bpf_tunnel_key explicit
Make the 2 byte padding in struct bpf_tunnel_key between tunnel_ttl
and tunnel_label members explicit. No issue has been observed, and
gcc/llvm does padding for the old struct already, where tunnel_label
was not yet present, so the current code works, but since it's part
of uapi, make sure we don't introduce holes in structs.
Therefore, add tunnel_ext that we can use generically in future
(f.e. to flag OAM messages for backends, etc). Also add the offset
to the compat tests to be sure should some compilers not padd the
tail of the old version of bpf_tunnel_key.

Pull more rdma updates from Doug Ledford:
"Round two of 4.6 merge window patches.
This is a monster pull request. I held off on the hfi1 driver updates
(the hfi1 driver is intimately tied to the qib driver and the new
rdmavt software library that was created to help both of them) in my
first pull request. The hfi1/qib/rdmavt update is probably 90% of
this pull request. The hfi1 driver is being left in staging so that
it can be fixed up in regards to the API that Al and yourself didn't
like. Intel has agreed to do the work, but in the meantime, this
clears out 300+ patches in the backlog queue and brings my tree and
their tree closer to sync.
This also includes about 10 patches to the core and a few to mlx5 to
create an infrastructure for configuring SRIOV ports on IB devices.
That series includes one patch to the net core that we sent to netdev@
and Dave Miller with each of the three revisions to the series. We
didn't get any response to the patch, so we took that as implicit
approval.
Finally, this series includes Intel's new iWARP driver for their x722
cards. It's not nearly the beast as the hfi1 driver. It also has a
linux-next merge issue, but that has been resolved and it now passes
just fine.
Summary:
- A few minor core fixups needed for the next patch series
- The IB SRIOV series. This has bounced around for several versions.
Of note is the fact that the first patch in this series effects the
net core. It was directed to netdev and DaveM for each iteration
of the series (three versions total). Dave did not object, but did
not respond either. I've taken this as permission to move forward
with the series.
- The new Intel X722 iWARP driver
- A huge set of updates to the Intel hfi1 driver. Of particular
interest here is that we have left the driver in staging since it
still has an API that people object to. Intel is working on a fix,
but getting these patches in now helps keep me sane as the upstream
and Intel's trees were over 300 patches apart"

kernel: add kcov code coverage
kcov provides code coverage collection for coverage-guided fuzzing (randomized testing). Coverage-guided fuzzing is a testing technique that uses coverage feedback to determine new interesting inputs to a system. A notable user-space example is AFL (http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/afl/). However, this technique is not widely used for kernel testing due to missing compiler and kernel support. kcov does not aim to collect as much coverage as possible. It aims to collect more or less stable coverage that is function of syscall inputs. To achieve this goal it does not collect coverage in soft/hard interrupts and instrumentation of some inherently non-deterministic or non-interesting parts of kernel is disbled (e.g. scheduler, locking). Currently there is a single coverage collection mode (tracing), but the API anticipates additional collection modes. Initially I also implemented a second mode which exposes coverage in a fixed-size hash table of counters (what Quentin used in his original patch). I've dropped the second mode for simplicity. This patch adds the necessary support on kernel side. The complimentary compiler support was added in gcc revision 231296. We've used this support to build syzkaller system call fuzzer, which has found 90 kernel bugs in just 2 months: https://github.com/google/syzkaller/wiki/Found-Bugs We've also found 30+ bugs in our internal systems with syzkaller. Another (yet unexplored) direction where kcov coverage would greatly help is more traditional "blob mutation". For example, mounting a random blob as a filesystem, or receiving a random blob over wire. Why not gcov. Typical fuzzing loop looks as follows: (1) reset coverage, (2) execute a bit of code, (3) collect coverage, repeat. A typical coverage can be just a dozen of basic blocks (e.g. an invalid input). In such context gcov becomes prohibitively expensive as reset/collect coverage steps depend on total number of basic blocks/edges in program (in case of kernel it is about 2M). Cost of kcov depends only on number of executed basic blocks/edges. On top of that, kernel requires per-thread coverage because there are always background threads and unrelated processes that also produce coverage. With inlined gcov instrumentation per-thread coverage is not possible. kcov exposes kernel PCs and control flow to user-space which is insecure. But debugfs should not be mapped as user accessible. Based on a patch by Quentin Casasnovas.

net/core: Add support for configuring VF GUIDs
Add two new NLAs to support configuration of Infiniband node or port GUIDs. New applications can choose to use this interface to configure GUIDs with iproute2 with commands such as: ip link set dev ib0 vf 0 node_guid 00:02:c9:03:00:21:6e:70 ip link set dev ib0 vf 0 port_guid 00:02:c9:03:00:21:6e:78 A new ndo, ndo_sef_vf_guid is introduced to notify the net device of the request to change the GUID.

Merge tag 'xfs-for-linus-4.6-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dgc/linux-xfs
Pull xfs updates from Dave Chinner:
"There's quite a lot in this request, and there's some cross-over with
ext4, dax and quota code due to the nature of the changes being made.
As for the rest of the XFS changes, there are lots of little things
all over the place, which add up to a lot of changes in the end.
The major changes are that we've reduced the size of the struct
xfs_inode by ~100 bytes (gives an inode cache footprint reduction of
>10%), the writepage code now only does a single set of mapping tree
lockups so uses less CPU, delayed allocation reservations won't
overrun under random write loads anymore, and we added compile time
verification for on-disk structure sizes so we find out when a commit
or platform/compiler change breaks the on disk structure as early as
possible.
Change summary:
- error propagation for direct IO failures fixes for both XFS and
ext4
- new quota interfaces and XFS implementation for iterating all the
quota IDs in the filesystem
- locking fixes for real-time device extent allocation
- reduction of duplicate information in the xfs and vfs inode, saving
roughly 100 bytes of memory per cached inode.
- buffer flag cleanup
- rework of the writepage code to use the generic write clustering
mechanisms
- several fixes for inode flag based DAX enablement
- rework of remount option parsing
- compile time verification of on-disk format structure sizes
- delayed allocation reservation overrun fixes
- lots of little error handling fixes
- small memory leak fixes
- enable xfsaild freezing again"
