Mostly just a rebase against latest upstream

Please tell me if you are ok with this set.

Thanks.

* [PATCH 1/6] hw_breakpoints: Split hardware breakpoints config

The hardware breakpoint config is only made of an ability. An
arch that support this feature selects HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINT. If so,
the feature is definetly built-in, the user can't decide to turn
it off. As hw_breakpoints depend on perf, it also makes perf
a mandatory feature. The whole is quite a piece of code and
may not be desired on some embedded systems.

In order to prepare to make this optable by the user, split the
config into the more traditional couple (ability, user choice) by
providing a new HW_BREAKPOINT config. It is default on and depends
on CONFIG_EXPERT because breakpoint ptrace requests are part of the
usual user ABI. The user must know what he's doing before turning
that off.

For now, only the archs that already implemented a conditional
HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINT can turn off HW_BREAKPOINT. x86 and sh have it
always selected because they need more background work to support
this new modularity.

* [PATCH 4/6] hw_breakpoints: Breakpoints arch ability don't need perf events

The breakpoint support ability in an arch is not related
to the fact perf events is built or not. HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINT
only shows an ability so this dependency makes no sense
anymore. Archs that select HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINT already
ensure that perf event is built.

Remove that dependency.

Previously, arch were forced to always build perf events if they
supported hw_breakpoints.

Now that the user can choose not to build hw_breakpoints, let
only force perf events if hw_breakpoints are selected.

Powerpc and Arm select breakpoint support ability only if
Perf is built. This is not necessary anymore now that we
enable perf once breakpoints support is selected.

Making the hardware breakpoint patches modular has always been a goal.
I've looked at the PowerPC parts of the code and they look harmless.

Making the hardware breakpoint patches modular has always been a goal.
I've looked at the PowerPC parts of the code and they look harmless.

Just a thought you might want to consider...

The need to keep the ability (HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINT) and the user-choice to
enable hardware breakpoints (through HW_BREAKPOINT) in separate config
options isn't very clear to me (and is a bit confusing with very similar
names).

Why not make HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINT selectable by the user (which in turn
would turn on PERF_EVENTS) for a given architecture?

Thanks,
K.Prasad

But then how kconfig knows if the allows that? You need to know if the
arch has the ability to support breakpoints.

This is a commin pattern in Linux Kconfig. Things are often seperated between
ability (some constant value provided by the arch) and the user choice that
depends on that ability.
The advantage of doing this is that you can centralize the generic dependencies,
help menu, etc... into a single place.

Meanwhile, I was testing hardware breakpoints through perf and found
that monitoring a given address fails when using 'perf record' (returns
-ENOSPC) while 'perf stat' and watchpoint through gdb works fine (see
logs below).

Has this behaviour been reported for other perf counters?

Thanks,

Nope I haven't anything like that. What I reported privately to you a
few ago was actually due to a mistake of mine. Otherwise I haven't seen
other problems.

-ENOSPC is likely related to the breakpoint slot reservation, in kernel/events/hw_breakpoint.c

That would still require a big chunk of perf.

I actually don't think it's working well. What we have with the current
design is the dependency to perf as a big midlayer that is apparently
convenient but actually induce some nasty things.

Just look how we need those ptrace_get_breakpoints() protection to deal
with perf exit path implementation for example. Or the need for archs
to translate arch ptrace breakpoint info into generic perf attrs.

I think we had to try the current design just to see if that could plug
nicely. But now that we have this for several releases, I can only conclude
that we should revert back to the design Prasad proposed, consisting in
having breakpoints a service used by perf but not the opposite.

For ptrace, all it takes is a generic hook in the preempt notifiers to
activate/deactivate breakpoints. I much prefer that to a big dependency
on a perf core midlayer.

Its working, maybe, working well is pushing it. The whole breakpoint
muck is a horrid mess, it side-steps all of the resource scheduling
stuff of perf and does it itself.

Now part of that is because ptrace requires it, but whichever way you
look at it its damn ugly.

What we could indeed do is to separate out a 'core perf' portion that 
is necessary for hw-breakpoints to work fine, thus allowing for 
example the PMU drivers to be disabled.

Otherwise we have expressed hw breakpoint APIs via perf events and 
that model is working well. Making hw-breakpoints a separate 
subsystem again with isolated (and partly duplicated) infrastructure 
would be a step back really.

Thanks,

I know and that's a long term goal. I believe Will Deacon is currently working
on breakpoints to avoid archs to translate ptrace user arch input into perf generic
information (which afterward is eventually translated back to arch information).
This is a necessary first step to have a ptrace breakpoint implementation independant of
perf. Once we'll have that and all archs are converted to that new mode, we can work
toward having breakpoints not requiring perf to work.

Until we reach that point, it's still nice to have optable breakpoints. I think
it is a desired feature given the feedbacks I get from Prasad for example.
If that makes it possible to try a kernel without perf in x86, good too.

But this is not intended to be a solution of the breakpoint - perf dependency. That
dependency was a design mistake that needs more to be fixed.
We want to be able to have breakpoints without perf in the end. This just requires
deeper and longer term work that is currently in progress.

Well, it's like systems that don't care about having BUG(), sysctl, futexes, etc...
support in the kernel, or whatever standard feature that makes sense most of the time
but sometimes you simply don't need it.

Also consider that as a first step to be able to build a !CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS
kernel. If people show strong interest in beeing able to build a kernel
with breakpoints but without perf events, then I'll invest more efforts in
breaking the dependency.

For development yeah, but is it needed for production evironments?

May be sometimes. But even though, the main functionalities of
ptrace are still available since instruction breakpoints are
implemented through int3 and not debugreg in ptrace. Only data
breakpoints would be unusable, but I believe they are a minor use compared
to instruction breakpoints. I rarely make use of them for debugging
personally.

That's really deemed for specific cases where people know what
they are doing.

Right, so it should be fine for embedded environment to disable breakpoints.
It depends on CONFIG_EXPERT now.

It really is very bad... without breakpoints, you lose almost all
debugging support.

That started when we implemented breakpoints as counters. Then we realized that
ptrace had its own scheduling that was somehow duplicating what perf was doing.
So we have finally unified that under perf. The good point is that archs don't need
to care much about ptrace breakpoints tracking, just the interface.

But yeah the bad point is that dependency.

Another advantage is the ability to disable these features for kernel 
bringup on new targets and kernel versions. Recently in v2.6.38 
hw_breakpoints were broken in ARM. A change like this would have saved 
me a hack to the Kconfig at the least.

That's pretty significant, because if you can disable breakpoints,
then you can disable perf. Together they make quite a chunk.

breakpoints + perf:

   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
1567422	 348628	 511680	2427730	 250b52	vmlinux


none:

   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
1478031	 333220	 508256	2319507	 236493	vmlinux

So that hw_breakpoints and perf can be not built on
specific embedded systems.
