2009-04-07x86, ds: support Core i7Markus Metzger1-7/+62
Add debug store support for Core i7. Core i7 adds a reset value for each performance counter and a new PEBS record format.

Add a warning in case a debug store context is not removed before the task it is attached to is freed. Remove the old warning at thread exit. It is too early. Declare the debug store context field in thread_struct unconditionally. Remove ds_copy_thread() and ds_exit_thread() and do the work directly in process*.c.

2009-04-07x86, bts, hw-branch-tracer: add _noirq variants to the debug store interfaceMarkus Metzger1-107/+367
The hw-branch-tracer uses debug store functions from an on_each_cpu() context, which is simply wrong since the functions may sleep. Add _noirq variants for most functions, which may be called with interrupts disabled. Separate per-cpu and per-task tracing and allow per-cpu tracing to be controlled from any cpu. Make the hw-branch-tracer use the new debug store interface, synchronize with hotplug cpu event using get/put_online_cpus(), and remove the unnecessary spinlock. Make the ptrace bts and the ds selftest code use the new interface. Defer the ds selftest.

2009-04-07x86, bts: fix race between per-task and per-cpu branch tracingMarkus Metzger1-31/+41
Per-task branch tracing installs a debug store context with the traced task. This immediately results in the branch trace control bits to be cleared for the next context switch of that task, if not set before. Either per-cpu or per-task tracing are allowed at the same time. An active per-cpu tracing would be disabled even if the per-task tracing request is rejected and the task debug store context removed. Check the tracing type (per-cpu or per-task) before installing a task debug store context.

2009-04-07x86, bts: wait until traced task has been scheduled outMarkus Metzger1-4/+19
In order to stop branch tracing for a running task, we need to first clear the branch tracing control bits before we may free the tracing buffer. If the traced task is running, the cpu might still trace that task after the branch trace control bits have cleared. Wait until the traced task has been scheduled out before proceeding. A similar problem affects the task debug store context. We first remove the context, then we need to wait until the task has been scheduled out before we can free the context memory.

2009-04-07x86, bts: fix race when bts tracer is removedMarkus Metzger1-21/+37
When the bts tracer is removed while the traced task is running, the write to clear the bts tracer pointer races with context switch code. Read the tracer once during a context switch. When a new tracer is installed, the bts tracer is set in the ds context before the tracer is initialized in order to claim the context for that tracer. This may result in write accesses using an uninitialized trace configuration when scheduling timestamps have been requested. Store active tracing flags separately and only set active flags after the tracing configuration has been initialized.

Rename a variable to denote that size to reflect that it only covers the pointer-type fields. Add more boot-time diagnostics giving the detected size and the sizes of BTS and PEBS records.

2009-03-06x86, bts: remove bad warningMarkus Metzger1-1/+0
In case a ptraced task is reaped (while the tracer is still attached), ds_exit_thread() is called before ptrace_exit(). The latter will release the bts_tracer and remove the thread's ds_ctx. The former will WARN() if the context is not NULL. Oleg Nesterov submitted patches that move ptrace_exit() before exit_thread() and thus reverse the order of the above calls. Remove the bad warning. I will add it again when Oleg's changes are in.

Impact: introduce new ptrace facility Add arch_ptrace_untrace() function that is called when the tracer detaches (either voluntarily or when the tracing task dies); ptrace_disable() is only called on a voluntary detach. Add ptrace_fork() and arch_ptrace_fork(). They are called when a traced task is forked. Clear DS and BTS related fields on fork. Release DS resources and reclaim memory in ptrace_untrace().

Impact: restructure DS memory allocation to be done by the usage site of DS Require pre-allocated buffers in ds.h. Move the BTS buffer allocation for ptrace into ptrace.c.

Impact: generalize the DS code to shared buffers Change the in-kernel ds.h interface to identify the tracer via a handle returned on ds_request_~(). Tracers used to be identified via their task_struct. The changes are required to allow DS to be shared between different tasks, which is needed for perfmon2 and for ftrace. For ptrace, the handle is stored in the traced task's task_struct. This should probably go into a (arch-specific) ptrace context some time.

2008-05-12x86, ptrace: PEBS supportMarkus Metzger1-277/+676
Polish the ds.h interface and add support for PEBS. Ds.c is meant to be the resource allocator for per-thread and per-cpu BTS and PEBS recording. It is used by ptrace/utrace to provide execution tracing of debugged tasks. It will be used by profilers (e.g. perfmon2). It may be used by kernel debuggers to provide a kernel execution trace. Changes in detail: - guard DS and ptrace by CONFIG macros - separate DS and BTS more clearly - simplify field accesses - add functions to manage PEBS buffers - add simple protection/allocation mechanism - added support for Atom Opens: - buffer overflow handling Currently, only circular buffers are supported. This is all we need for debugging. Profilers would want an overflow notification.
