[PATCH 0/2] perf: measure page fault duration in perf trace

[PATCH 0/2] perf: measure page fault duration in perf trace

[Alexis Berlemont]

Hi,

Here are 2 small patches which try to fulfill a point in the perf todo
list:

* Forward port the page fault tracepoints and use it in 'trace'.
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/acme/linux.git;a=commitdiff;h=d53b11976093b6d8afeb8181db53aaffc754920d;hp=32ba4abf60ae1b710d22a75725491815de649bc5

There are some questionable points:

* With luck I think I found the patch related with the todo item (the
  link in the todo wiki page is broken); I hope I am not wrong...
* In the patch mentioned above, I found only changes related with
  tracepoints creations and calls; the tracepoints were declared
  generic (in include/trace/events/kmem.h) but were only called in x86
  (arch/x86/mm/fault.c); as in x86, the tracepoint
  "mm_pagefault_start" looks fairly like "page_fault_user" and
  "page_fault_kernel", I decided to only create one x86-specific
  tracepoint: "page_fault_exit"; maybe, you would prefer declaring
  generic tracepoints;
* No option has been added for activating page-fault duration
  calculation: if the needed tracepoints are available, durations will
  be printed; maybe, that was not what you were looking for.

The patches were generated against tip/perf/core.

Alexis.

Aside from my general hatred of tracepoint, it bugs me that its not
symmetric like the irq vector ones. But I'll leave that to x86 people.

Yeah, please add one explaining why we want this, how we can use it, for
example, in 'perf trace', to measure how long each page fault took,
examples of it in use, etc.

What is the simmetry problem, you think we should have:

  exceptions:page_fault_kernel_exit
  exceptions:page_fault_user_exit

To be counterparts of:

[root@jouet ~]# perf list exceptions:*

List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e):

  exceptions:page_fault_kernel                       [Tracepoint event]
  exceptions:page_fault_user                         [Tracepoint event]

[root@jouet ~]# 

? 

For perf usage yeah, the good thing would be to have just
exceptions:page_fault_entry and exceptions:page_fault_exit, and then use
perf_event_attr fields to filter what kind was desired, with a
header.misc stating where it took place, just like with other events,
but by now we have two for entry, so two for exit?

Look at arch/x86/include/asm/trace/irq_vectors.h and

$ git grep "trace.*_VECTOR"

The entry and exit tracepoints are fully symmetric and generate from a
single macro.

[PATCH v2] perf, x86-mm: declare page-faults tracepoints like irq-vectors ones

[Alexis Berlemont]

So, would you be OK with the following patch ? 

There is a symmetry just like irq_vectors tracepoints:

# perf list | grep -E "exception|irq_vectors"
  exceptions:page_fault_kernel_entry                 [Tracepoint event]
  exceptions:page_fault_kernel_exit                  [Tracepoint event]
  exceptions:page_fault_user_entry                   [Tracepoint event]
  exceptions:page_fault_user_exit                    [Tracepoint event]
  irq_vectors:call_function_entry                    [Tracepoint event]
  irq_vectors:call_function_exit                     [Tracepoint event]
...

Maybe 2 tracepoints (instead of 4) should have been enough; however,
there were already 1 tracepoint per mode before.

Alexis.

The tracepoints "exceptions:page_fault_(user|kernel)" were renamed
"exceptions:page_fault_(user|kernel)_entry". Two more tracepoints were
added: "exceptions:page_fault_(user|kernel)_exit". These events are
called right before and after __do_page_fault().

[PATCH v3 0/2] perf: measure page fault duration in perf trace

[Alexis Berlemont]

Hi,

Here is another attempt to make the perf-trace subcommand print the
page fault durations.

This solution is based on static tracepoints and it was necessary to
add 2 more tracepoints. I understood that adding tracepoints is a
questionable solution; I can try something else if someone has another
idea.

Alexis.

I have to test this, and review PeterZ latest comment about it, to see
if all is well with him by now, Peter?

[PATCH v3 2/2] perf: add page fault duration measures in perf trace

[Alexis Berlemont]

Thanks to the tracepoints exceptions:page_fault_kernel_exit and
exceptions:page_fault_user_exit, the subcommand perf-trace can now
print the duration of page-fault exception handling just like it is
done for syscalls.

Here is the result; the page fault durations are indicated in
parenthesis (like syscalls):

Here is an example; the durations are indicated in parenthesis just
like with syscalls:

 0.053 ( 0.053 ms): ls/152 minfault [__clear_user+0x25] => 0x694e7e (?k)
 0.114 ( 0.027 ms): ls/152 minfault [__clear_user+0x25] => 0x7fb912eaafc0 (?k)
 0.201 ( 0.030 ms): ls/152 minfault [_start+0x0] => /lib/ld-2.23.so@0xc70 (x.)
