We can still see that a majority of the time is spent hashing task pointers:
...
16.98% [kernel] [k] rhashtable_jhash2
...
Doing the bookkeeping in toggle_bp_slots() is currently O(#cpus),
calling task_bp_pinned() for each CPU, even if task_bp_pinned() is
CPU-independent. The reason for this is to update the per-CPU
'tsk_pinned' histogram.
To optimize the CPU-independent case to O(1), keep a separate
CPU-independent 'tsk_pinned_all' histogram.
The major source of complexity are transitions between "all
CPU-independent task breakpoints" and "mixed CPU-independent and
CPU-dependent task breakpoints". The code comments list all cases that
require handling.
After this optimization:
| $> perf bench -r 100 breakpoint thread -b 4 -p 128 -t 512
| # Running 'breakpoint/thread' benchmark:
| # Created/joined 100 threads with 4 breakpoints and 128 parallelism

1.45% [kernel] [k] find_next_bit
1.21% [kernel] [k] flush_tlb_func_common
1.01% [kernel] [k] arch_install_hw_breakpoint
Showing that the time spent hashing keys has become insignificant.
With the given benchmark parameters, that's an improvement of 12%
compared with the old O(#cpus) version.
And finally, using the less aggressive parameters from the preceding
changes, we now observe:
| $> perf bench -r 30 breakpoint thread -b 4 -p 64 -t 64
| # Running 'breakpoint/thread' benchmark:
| # Created/joined 30 threads with 4 breakpoints and 64 parallelism
| Total time: 0.067 [sec]
|
| 35.292187 usecs/op
| 2258.700000 usecs/op/cpu
Which is an improvement of 12% compared to without the histogram
optimizations (baseline is 40 usecs/op). This is now on par with the
theoretical ideal (constraints disabled), and only 12% slower than no
breakpoints at all.

We can see that a majority of the time is now spent hashing task

Obtaining the max_bp_pinned_slots() for CPU-independent task targets
currently is O(#cpus), and calls task_bp_pinned() for each CPU, even if
the result of task_bp_pinned() is CPU-independent.
The loop in max_bp_pinned_slots() wants to compute the maximum slots
across all CPUs. If task_bp_pinned() is CPU-independent, we can do so by
obtaining the max slots across all CPUs and adding task_bp_pinned().
To do so in O(1), use a bp_slots_histogram for CPU-pinned slots.

While optimizing task_bp_pinned()'s runtime complexity to O(1) on
average helps reduce time spent in the critical section, we still suffer
due to serializing everything via 'nr_bp_mutex'. Indeed, a profile shows
that now contention is the biggest issue:
95.93% [kernel] [k] osq_lock
0.70% [kernel] [k] mutex_spin_on_owner
0.22% [kernel] [k] smp_cfm_core_cond
0.18% [kernel] [k] task_bp_pinned
0.18% [kernel] [k] rhashtable_jhash2
0.15% [kernel] [k] queued_spin_lock_slowpath
when running the breakpoint benchmark with (system with 256 CPUs):
| $> perf bench -r 30 breakpoint thread -b 4 -p 64 -t 64
| # Running 'breakpoint/thread' benchmark:
| # Created/joined 30 threads with 4 breakpoints and 64 parallelism
| Total time: 0.207 [sec]

| 6929.100000 usecs/op/cpu
The main concern for synchronizing the breakpoint constraints data is
that a consistent snapshot of the per-CPU and per-task data is observed.
The access pattern is as follows:
1. If the target is a task: the task's pinned breakpoints are counted,
checked for space, and then appended to; only bp_cpuinfo::cpu_pinned
is used to check for conflicts with CPU-only breakpoints;
bp_cpuinfo::tsk_pinned are incremented/decremented, but otherwise
unused.
2. If the target is a CPU: bp_cpuinfo::cpu_pinned are counted, along
with bp_cpuinfo::tsk_pinned; after a successful check, cpu_pinned is
incremented. No per-task breakpoints are checked.
Since rhltable safely synchronizes insertions/deletions, we can allow
concurrency as follows:
1. If the target is a task: independent tasks may update and check the
constraints concurrently, but same-task target calls need to be
serialized; since bp_cpuinfo::tsk_pinned is only updated, but not
checked, these modifications can happen concurrently by switching
tsk_pinned to atomic_t.
2. If the target is a CPU: access to the per-CPU constraints needs to
be serialized with other CPU-target and task-target callers (to
stabilize the bp_cpuinfo::tsk_pinned snapshot).
We can allow the above concurrency by introducing a per-CPU constraints
data reader-writer lock (bp_cpuinfo_sem), and per-task mutexes (reuses
task_struct::perf_event_mutex):
1. If the target is a task: acquires perf_event_mutex, and acquires
bp_cpuinfo_sem as a reader. The choice of percpu-rwsem minimizes
contention in the presence of many read-lock but few write-lock
acquisitions: we assume many orders of magnitude more task target
breakpoints creations/destructions than CPU target breakpoints.
2. If the target is a CPU: acquires bp_cpuinfo_sem as a writer.
With these changes, contention with thousands of tasks is reduced to the
point where waiting on locking no longer dominates the profile:

3.75% [kernel] [k] smp_cfm_core_cond
3.48% [kernel] [k] bcmp
On this particular setup that's a speedup of 2.7x.
We're also getting closer to the theoretical ideal performance through
optimizations in hw_breakpoint.c -- constraints accounting disabled:

| Total time: 0.067 [sec]
|
| 35.286458 usecs/op
| 2258.333333 usecs/op/cpu
Which means the current implementation is ~12% slower than the
theoretical ideal.
For reference, performance without any breakpoints:
| $> bench -r 30 breakpoint thread -b 0 -p 64 -t 64
| # Running 'breakpoint/thread' benchmark:
| # Created/joined 30 threads with 0 breakpoints and 64 parallelism

|
| 31.365625 usecs/op
| 2007.400000 usecs/op/cpu
On a system with 256 CPUs, the theoretical ideal is only ~12% slower
than no breakpoints at all; the current implementation is ~28% slower.

Flexible breakpoints have never been implemented, with
bp_cpuinfo::flexible always being 0. Unfortunately, they still occupy 4
bytes in each bp_cpuinfo and bp_busy_slots, as well as computing the max
flexible count in fetch_bp_busy_slots().
This again causes suboptimal code generation, when we always know that
`!!slots.flexible` will be 0.
Just get rid of the flexible "placeholder" and remove all real code
related to it. Make a note in the comment related to the constraints
algorithm but don't remove them from the algorithm, so that if in future
flexible breakpoints need supporting, it should be trivial to revive
them (along with reverting this change).

Due to being a __weak function, hw_breakpoint_weight() will cause the
compiler to always emit a call to it. This generates unnecessarily bad
code (register spills etc.) for no good reason; in fact it appears in
profiles of `perf bench -r 100 breakpoint thread -b 4 -p 128 -t 512`:
...
0.70% [kernel] [k] hw_breakpoint_weight
...
While a small percentage, no architecture defines its own
hw_breakpoint_weight() nor are there users outside hw_breakpoint.c,
which makes the fact it is currently __weak a poor choice.
Change hw_breakpoint_weight()'s definition to follow a similar protocol
to hw_breakpoint_slots(), such that if <asm/hw_breakpoint.h> defines
hw_breakpoint_weight(), we'll use it instead.
The result is that it is inlined and no longer shows up in profiles.

On a machine with 256 CPUs, running the recently added perf breakpoint
benchmark results in:
| $> perf bench -r 30 breakpoint thread -b 4 -p 64 -t 64
| # Running 'breakpoint/thread' benchmark:
| # Created/joined 30 threads with 4 breakpoints and 64 parallelism
| Total time: 236.418 [sec]
|
| 123134.794271 usecs/op
| 7880626.833333 usecs/op/cpu
The benchmark tests inherited breakpoint perf events across many
threads.
Looking at a perf profile, we can see that the majority of the time is
spent in various hw_breakpoint.c functions, which execute within the
'nr_bp_mutex' critical sections which then results in contention on that
mutex as well:
37.27% [kernel] [k] osq_lock
34.92% [kernel] [k] mutex_spin_on_owner
12.15% [kernel] [k] toggle_bp_slot
11.90% [kernel] [k] __reserve_bp_slot
The culprit here is task_bp_pinned(), which has a runtime complexity of
O(#tasks) due to storing all task breakpoints in the same list and
iterating through that list looking for a matching task. Clearly, this
does not scale to thousands of tasks.
Instead, make use of the "rhashtable" variant "rhltable" which stores
multiple items with the same key in a list. This results in average
runtime complexity of O(1) for task_bp_pinned().
With the optimization, the benchmark shows:
| $> perf bench -r 30 breakpoint thread -b 4 -p 64 -t 64
| # Running 'breakpoint/thread' benchmark:
| # Created/joined 30 threads with 4 breakpoints and 64 parallelism
| Total time: 0.208 [sec]
|
| 108.422396 usecs/op
| 6939.033333 usecs/op/cpu
On this particular setup that's a speedup of ~1135x.
While one option would be to make task_struct a breakpoint list node,
this would only further bloat task_struct for infrequently used data.
Furthermore, after all optimizations in this series, there's no evidence
it would result in better performance: later optimizations make the time
spent looking up entries in the hash table negligible (we'll reach the
theoretical ideal performance i.e. no constraints).

With Book3s DAWR, ptrace and perf watchpoints on powerpc behaves
differently. Ptrace watchpoint works in one-shot mode and generates
signal before executing instruction. It's ptrace user's job to
single-step the instruction and re-enable the watchpoint. OTOH, in
case of perf watchpoint, kernel emulates/single-steps the instruction
and then generates event. If perf and ptrace creates two events with
same or overlapping address ranges, it's ambiguous to decide who
should single-step the instruction. Because of this issue, don't
allow perf and ptrace watchpoint at the same time if their address
range overlaps.

Currently we enable the breakpoint back only if the breakpoint
modification was successful. If it fails we can leave the breakpoint in
disabled state with attr->disabled == 0.
We can safely enable the breakpoint back for both the fail and success
paths by checking the bp->attr.disabled, which either holds the new
'requested' disabled state or the original breakpoint state.

We need to change the breakpoint even if the attr with new fields has
disabled set to true.
Current code prevents following user code to change the breakpoint
address:
ptrace(PTRACE_POKEUSER, child, offsetof(struct user, u_debugreg[0]), addr_1)
ptrace(PTRACE_POKEUSER, child, offsetof(struct user, u_debugreg[0]), addr_2)
ptrace(PTRACE_POKEUSER, child, offsetof(struct user, u_debugreg[7]), dr7)
The first PTRACE_POKEUSER creates the breakpoint with attr.disabled set
to true:
ptrace_set_breakpoint_addr(nr = 0)
struct perf_event *bp = t->ptrace_bps[nr];
ptrace_register_breakpoint(..., disabled = true)
ptrace_fill_bp_fields(..., disabled)
register_user_hw_breakpoint
So the second PTRACE_POKEUSER will be omitted:
ptrace_set_breakpoint_addr(nr = 0)
struct perf_event *bp = t->ptrace_bps[nr];
struct perf_event_attr attr = bp->attr;
modify_user_hw_breakpoint(bp, &attr)

We soon won't be able to rely on bp->attr anymore to get the new
type of the modifying breakpoint because the new attributes are going
to be copied only once we successfully modified the breakpoint slot.
This will fix the current misdesigned layout where the new attr are
copied to the modifying breakpoint before we actually know if the
modification will be validated.
In order to prepare for that, allow modify_breakpoint_slot() to take
the new breakpoint type.

We can't pass the breakpoint directly on arch_check_bp_in_kernelspace()
anymore because its architecture internal datas (struct arch_hw_breakpoint)
are not yet filled by the time we call the function, and most
implementation need this backend to be up to date. So arrange the
function to take the probing struct instead.

arch_validate_hwbkpt_settings() mixes up attribute check and commit into
a single code entity. Therefore the validation may return an error due to
incorrect atributes while still leaving halfway modified architecture
breakpoint data.
This is harmless when we deal with a new breakpoint but it becomes a
problem when we modify an existing breakpoint.
Split attribute parse and commit to fix that. The architecture is
passed a "struct arch_hw_breakpoint" to fill on top of the new attr
and the core takes care about copying the backend data once it's fully
validated. The architectures then need to implement the new API.

Problem and motivation: Once a breakpoint perf event (PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT)
is created, there is no flexibility to change the breakpoint type
(bp_type), breakpoint address (bp_addr), or breakpoint length (bp_len). The
only option is to close the perf event and configure a new breakpoint
event. This inflexibility has a significant performance overhead. For
example, sampling-based, lightweight performance profilers (and also
concurrency bug detection tools), monitor different addresses for a short
duration using PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT and change the address (bp_addr) to
another address or change the kind of breakpoint (bp_type) from "write" to
a "read" or vice-versa or change the length (bp_len) of the address being
monitored. The cost of these modifications is prohibitive since it involves
unmapping the circular buffer associated with the perf event, closing the
perf event, opening another perf event and mmaping another circular buffer.
Solution: The new ioctl flag for perf events,
PERF_EVENT_IOC_MODIFY_ATTRIBUTES, introduced in this patch takes a pointer
to a struct perf_event_attr as an argument to update an old breakpoint
event with new address, type, and size. This facility allows retaining a
previous mmaped perf events ring buffer and avoids having to close and
reopen another perf event.
This patch supports only changing PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT event type; future
implementations can extend this feature. The patch replicates some of its
functionality of modify_user_hw_breakpoint() in
kernel/events/hw_breakpoint.c. modify_user_hw_breakpoint cannot be called
directly since perf_event_ctx_lock() is already held in _perf_ioctl().
Evidence: Experiments show that the baseline (not able to modify an already
created breakpoint) costs an order of magnitude (~10x) more than the
suggested optimization (having the ability to dynamically modifying a
configured breakpoint via ioctl). When the breakpoints typically do not
trap, the speedup due to the suggested optimization is ~10x; even when the
breakpoints always trap, the speedup is ~4x due to the suggested
optimization.
Testing: tests posted at
https://github.com/linux-contrib/perf_event_modify_bp demonstrate the
performance significance of this patch. Tests also check the functional
correctness of the patch.

And rename it to modify_user_hw_breakpoint_check().
We are about to use modify_user_hw_breakpoint_check() for user space
breakpoints modification, we must be very strict to check only the
fields we can change have changed. As Peter explained:
"Suppose someone does:
attr = malloc(sizeof(*attr)); // uninitialized memory
attr->type = BP;
attr->bp_addr = new_addr;
attr->bp_type = bp_type;
attr->bp_len = bp_len;
ioctl(fd, PERF_IOC_MOD_ATTR, &attr);
And feeds absolute shite for the rest of the fields.
Then we later want to extend IOC_MOD_ATTR to allow changing
attr::sample_type but we can't, because that would break the
above application."
I'm making this check optional because we already export
modify_user_hw_breakpoint() and with this check we could
break existing users.

between loading ctx->task and getting to the remote_function(),
ctx->task can already have been changed.

This patch simply moves all per-cpu variables into the new
single per-cpu "struct bp_cpuinfo".
To me this looks more logical and clean, but this can also
simplify the further potential changes. In particular, I do not
think this memory should be per-cpu, it is never used "locally".
After this change it is trivial to turn it into, say,
bootmem[nr_cpu_ids].

The enable/disable logic in toggle_bp_slot() is not symmetrical
and imho very confusing. "old_count" in toggle_bp_task_slot() is
actually new_count because this bp was already removed from the
list.
Change toggle_bp_slot() to always call list_add/list_del after
toggle_bp_task_slot(). This way old_idx is task_bp_pinned() and
this entry should be decremented, new_idx is +/-weight and we
need to increment this element. The code/logic looks obvious.

slot") in arch_install_hw_breakpoint() but the problem is not
arch-specific.
The problem is, task_bp_pinned(cpu) checks "cpu == iter->cpu"
but this doesn't account the "all cpus" events with iter->cpu <
0.
This means that, say, register_user_hw_breakpoint(tsk) can
happily create the arbitrary number > HBP_NUM of breakpoints
which can not be activated. toggle_bp_task_slot() is equally
wrong by the same reason and nr_task_bp_pinned[] can have
negative entries.
Simple test:
# perl -e 'sleep 1 while 1' &
# perf record -e mem:0x10,mem:0x10,mem:0x10,mem:0x10,mem:0x10 -p `pidof perl`
Before this patch this triggers the same problem/WARN_ON(),
after the patch it correctly fails with -ENOSPC.

The hw breakpoint pmu 'add' function is missing the
period_left update needed for SW events.
The perf HW breakpoint events use the SW events framework
to process the overflow, so it needs to be properly initialized
in the PMU 'add' method.

Obviously this is a typo and could result in memory leaks if kzalloc
fails on a given cpu.

I've been trying to get hardware breakpoints with perf to work
on POWER7 but I'm getting the following:
% perf record -e mem:0x10000000 true
Error: sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 28 (No space left on device). /bin/dmesg may provide additional information.
Fatal: No CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS=y kernel support configured?
true: Terminated
(FWIW adding -a and it works fine)
Debugging it seems that __reserve_bp_slot() is returning ENOSPC
because it thinks there are no free breakpoint slots on this
CPU.
I have a 2 CPUs, so perf userspace is doing two perf_event_open
syscalls to add a counter to each CPU [1]. The first syscall
succeeds but the second is failing.
On this second syscall, fetch_bp_busy_slots() sets slots.pinned
to be 1, despite there being no breakpoint on this CPU. This is
because the call the task_bp_pinned, checks all CPUs, rather
than just the current CPU. POWER7 only has one hardware
breakpoint per CPU (ie. HBP_NUM=1), so we return ENOSPC.
The following patch fixes this by checking the associated CPU
for each breakpoint in task_bp_pinned. I'm not familiar with
this code, so it's provided as a reference to the above issue.

While debugging a warning message on PowerPC while using hardware
breakpoints, it was discovered that when perf_event_disable is invoked
through hw_breakpoint_handler function with interrupts disabled, a
subsequent IPI in the code path would trigger a WARN_ON_ONCE message in
smp_call_function_single function.
This patch calls __perf_event_disable() when interrupts are already
disabled, instead of perf_event_disable().
