[PATCH v13 0/3]trace,x86: irq vector tracepoint support

[Seiji Aguchi]

Change log
 v12 -> v13
 - Rebase to 3.10-rc3
 - Patch 2/3
   - Separate a patch introducing entering/exiting_irq() from patch-v12 3/3.
 - Patch 3/3
   - Introduce write_trace_idt_entry() to remove "ifdef CONFIG_TRACING"
     from _set_gate().
   - Change DEFINE_IRQ_VECTOR_EVENT to save on repeat code.
   - Add a path of irq_vector.h to Makefile.
   - Introduce current_idt_descr_ptr and load_current_idt() to switch
     IDT in a generic way with handling Debug traps/NMI and cpu hotplug.

 v11 -> v12
 - Rebase to 3.9-rc5

 v10 -> v11
 - Rebase to 3.9-rc2
 - Add a modification for hyperv_callback vector. (patch 2/3)
 - Change a way to switch idt to check the table in use instead of saving/restoring it,
   because saving/restoring functions will break if we have to add another one. (patch 2/3)

 v9 -> v10
 - Add an explanation the reason why tracepoints has to place inside irq enter/exit handling. (patch 3/3)

 v8 -> v9
 - Rebase to 3.8-rc6
 - Add Steven's email address at the top of the message and 
   move my signed-off-by below Steven's one because it is
   originally created by Steven. (patch 1/3)
 - Introduce a irq_vector_mutex to avoid a race at registering/unregistering
   time. (patch 2/3)
 - Use a per_cpu data to orig_idt_descr because IDT descritor is needed to each cpu

 - Rebase to 3.8-rc4
 - Add a patch 1 introducing DEFINE_EVENT_FN() macro.
 - Rename original patches 1 and 2 to 2 and 3.

 - Move entering_irq()/exiting_irq() to arch/x86/include/asm/apic.h (patch 3)

 v6 -> v7
 - Divide into two patches to make a code review easier.
   Summery of each patch is as follows.
    - Patch 1/2
      - Add an irq_vector tracing infrastructure.

        manageable and readable.

 v5 -> v6
 - Rebased to 3.7

 v4 -> v5
 - Rebased to 3.6.0

 - Introduce a logic switching IDT at enabling/disabling TP time 
   so that a time penalty makes a zero when tracepoints are disabled.
   This IDT is created only when CONFIG_TRACEPOINTS is enabled.

   so that we can add each tracepoint in a generic way.
   - error_apic_vector
   - thermal_apic_vector

   - x86_platform_ipi_vector

 - Drop nmi tracepoints to begin with apic interrupts and discuss a logic switching
   IDT first.

 - Move irq_vectors.h in the directory of arch/x86/include/asm/trace because
   I'm not sure if a logic switching IDT is sharable with other architectures.

 v2 -> v3
 - Remove an invalidate_tlb_vector event because it was replaced by a call function vector
   in a following commit.
   http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git;a=commit;h=52aec3308db85f4e9f5c8b9f5dc4fbd0138c6fa4

[Purpose of this patch]

As Vaibhav explained in the thread below, tracepoints for irq vectors are useful.

http://www.spinics.net/lists/mm-commits/msg85707.html

<snip>
The current interrupt traces from irq_handler_entry and irq_handler_exit provide
when an interrupt is handled.  
They provide good data about when the system has switched to kernel space and 
how it affects the currently running processes.

There are some IRQ vectors which trigger the system into kernel space, which are 
not handled in generic IRQ handlers.  
Tracing such events gives us the information about IRQ interaction with other 
system events.

The trace also tells where the system is spending its time.  We want to know which
cores are handling interrupts and 
how they are affecting other processes in the system.  Also, the trace provides
information about when the cores are 
idle and which interrupts are changing that state.
<snip>

On the other hand, my usecase is tracing just local timer event and getting
 a value of instruction pointer.

I suggested to add an argument local timer event to get instruction pointer before.
But there is another way to get it with external module like systemtap.
So, I don't need to add any argument to irq vector tracepoints now.

[Patch Description]

Vaibhav's patch shared a trace point ,irq_vector_entry/irq_vector_exit, in all events.
But there is an above use case to trace specific irq_vector rather than tracing all events.
In this case, we are concerned about overhead due to unwanted events.

This patch adds following tracepoints instead of introducing irq_vector_entry/exit.
so that we can enable them independently.
   - local_timer_vector
   - reschedule_vector
   - call_function_vector
   - call_function_single_vector 
   - irq_work_entry_vector
   - error_apic_vector
   - thermal_apic_vector
   - threshold_apic_vector
   - spurious_apic_vector
   - x86_platform_ipi_vector

Please see descriptions in each patch.

[PATCH v13 1/3] tracing: Add DEFINE_EVENT_FN() macro

[Seiji Aguchi]

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

Each TRACE_EVENT() adds several helper functions. If two or more trace events
share the same structure and print format, they can also share most of these
helper functions and save a lot of space from duplicate code. This is why the
DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS() and DEFINE_EVENT() were created.

Some events require a trigger to be called at registering and unregistering of
the event and to do so they use TRACE_EVENT_FN().

If multiple events require a trigger, they currently have no choice but to use
TRACE_EVENT_FN() as there's no DEFINE_EVENT_FN() available. This unfortunately
causes a lot of wasted duplicate code created.

By adding a DEFINE_EVENT_FN(), these events can still use a
DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS() and then define their own triggers.

[PATCH v13 2/3] trace,x86: Introduce entering/exiting_irq()

[Seiji Aguchi]

When implementing tracepoints in interrupt handers, if the tracepoints are
simply added in the performance sensitive path of interrupt handers,
it may cause potential performance problem due to the time penalty.

To solve the problem, an idea is to prepare non-trace/trace irq handers and 
switch their IDTs at the enabling/disabling time.

To do this, this patch introduces entering_irq()/exiting_irq() for pre/post-
processing of each irq handler.

A way to use them is as follows.

Non-trace irq handler:
smp_irq_handler()
{
	entering_irq(); /* pre-processing of this handler */
	__smp_irq_handler(); /*
                          * common logic between non-trace and trace handlers
                          * in a vector.
                          */
	exiting_irq(); /* post-processing of this handler */

}

Trace irq_handler:
smp_trace_irq_handler()
{
	entering_irq(); /* pre-processing of this handler */
	trace_irq_entry(); /* tracepoint for irq entry */
	__smp_irq_handler(); /*
                          * common logic between non-trace and trace handlers
                          * in a vector.
                          */
	trace_irq_exit(); /* tracepoint for irq exit */
	exiting_irq(); /* post-processing of this handler */

}

If tracepoints can place outside entering_irq()/exiting_irq() as follows, 
it looks cleaner.

smp_trace_irq_handler()
{
	trace_irq_entry();
	smp_irq_handler();
	trace_irq_exit();
}

But it doesn't work.
The problem is with irq_enter/exit() being called. They must be called before
trace_irq_enter/exit(),  because of the rcu_irq_enter() must be called before 
any tracepoints are used, as tracepoints use  rcu to synchronize.

As a possible alternative, we may be able to call irq_enter() first as follows
if irq_enter() can nest.

smp_trace_irq_hander()
{
	irq_entry();
	trace_irq_entry();
	smp_irq_handler();
	trace_irq_exit();
	irq_exit();
}

But it doesn't work, either.
If irq_enter() is nested, it may have a time penalty because it has to check if it
was already called or not. The time penalty is not desired in performance sensitive
paths even if it is tiny.

[PATCH v13 3/3] trace,x86: Add irq vector tracepoints

[Seiji Aguchi]

[Purpose of this patch]

As Vaibhav explained in the thread below, tracepoints for irq vectors
are useful.

http://www.spinics.net/lists/mm-commits/msg85707.html

<snip>
The current interrupt traces from irq_handler_entry and irq_handler_exit
provide when an interrupt is handled.  They provide good data about when
the system has switched to kernel space and how it affects the currently
running processes.

There are some IRQ vectors which trigger the system into kernel space,
which are not handled in generic IRQ handlers.  Tracing such events gives
us the information about IRQ interaction with other system events.

The trace also tells where the system is spending its time.  We want to
know which cores are handling interrupts and how they are affecting other
processes in the system.  Also, the trace provides information about when
the cores are idle and which interrupts are changing that state.
<snip>

On the other hand, my usecase is tracing just local timer event and
getting a value of instruction pointer.

I suggested to add an argument local timer event to get instruction pointer before.
But there is another way to get it with external module like systemtap.
So, I don't need to add any argument to irq vector tracepoints now.

[Patch Description]

Vaibhav's patch shared a trace point ,irq_vector_entry/irq_vector_exit, in all events.
But there is an above use case to trace specific irq_vector rather than tracing all events.
In this case, we are concerned about overhead due to unwanted events.

This patch adds following tracepoints instead of introducing irq_vector_entry/exit.
so that we can enable them independently.
   - local_timer_vector
   - reschedule_vector
   - call_function_vector
   - call_function_single_vector
   - irq_work_entry_vector
   - error_apic_vector
   - thermal_apic_vector
   - threshold_apic_vector
   - spurious_apic_vector
   - x86_platform_ipi_vector

Also, it introduces a logic switching IDT at enabling/disabling time so that a time penalty
makes a zero when tracepoints are disabled. Detailed explanations are as follows.
 - Create non-trace and trace irq handlers with entering_irq()/exiting_irq().
 - Create a new IDT, trace_idt_table, at boot time by adding a logic to
   _set_gate(). It is just a copy of original idt table.
 - Registering the new handers for tracpoints to the new IDT by introducing
   macros to alloc_intr_gate() called at regstering time of irq_vector handlers.
 - Switch IDT to new one at enabling TP time.
 - Restore to an original IDT at disabling TP time.
The new IDT is created only when CONFIG_TRACING is enabled to avoid being used for other purposes.

Also, we should probably add here:
		unsigned long new_idt = atomic_long_read(&current_idt_descr_ptr);

		if (WARN_ON_ONCE(!validate_idt(new_idt))
			return;
		load_idt((const struct desc_ptr *)new_idt);

Then have 

bool validate_idt(unsigned long idt)
{
	switch(idt) {
	case (unsigned long)&trace_idt_descr:
	case (unsigned long)&idt_descr:
		return 0;
	}
	return -1;
}

This way we wont be opening up any easy root holes where if a process
finds a way to modify some arbitrary kernel memory, we can prevent it
from modifying the current_idt_descr_ptr and have a nice way to exploit
the IDT. Sure, one can argue that if they can modify arbitrary kernel
memory, we may already be lost, but lets not make it easier for them
than need be.

I will introduce set_current_idt() as follows.

set_current_idt(unsigned long idt)
{
	If (WARN_ON_ONCE(in_interrupt()))
		return;

	atomic_long_set(idt);

}

The important thing is not "called by interrupt context" but "called with interrupt disabled"
to avoid races.
Actually, load_current_idt() is called in process context in irq_vector_{reg/unreg}func().
In next patch, I will rewrite the comment.

I will introduce the validate_idt() as above in a next patch.

I don't like current_idt_descr_ptr if we can avoid it.  It is a direct
proxy for reading and writing the original IDT, in other words, it
really hasn't really addressed the issue.

What I'm thinking we really should have is a function that returns the
IDT that we currently should be using, based on the current state.  If
that state is, say, tracing on/off and NMI on/off, then that can be
indicated by bits in a state vector.

The point is that the IDT address itself should not be mutable state if
it can be at all avoided.

The NMI on/off may be a bit trickier, as it is also a debug state as
well. When we go into a nested debug or NMI state we use the same IDT.

Hmm, maybe we can do it. Have two counters, a debug_idt_ctr and a
trace_idt_ctr, then have a function that basically does this:

	if (this_cpu_read(debug_idt_ctr))
		load_idt(&nmi_idt_descr); /* probably should rename to debug_idt_descr) */
	else if (trace_idt_ctr)
		load_idt(&trace_idt_descr);
	else
		load_idt(&idt_descr);

Then all modifications of the idt would call this function.

I think it will work.

I think we can use "debug_stack_use_ctr"  for the checking.
Is it correct?
Or, do I need to introduce a new debug_idt_ctr?

No, it's the same variable. I was thinking we should rename it too, as
debug_stack_use_ctr, doesn't really describe what is happening anymore.

OK, I will rename  debug_stack_use_ctr to debug_idt_ctr.
