Subject: [PATCH 4.18 104/228] perf/x86/intel/lbr: Fix incomplete LBR call stack
4.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@...ux.intel.com>
[ Upstream commit 0592e57b24e7e05ec1f4c50b9666c013abff7017 ]
LBR has a limited stack size. If a task has a deeper call stack than
LBR's stack size, only the overflowed part is reported. A complete call
stack may not be reconstructed by perf tool.
Current code doesn't access all LBR registers. It only read the ones
below the TOS. The LBR registers above the TOS will be discarded
unconditionally.
When a CALL is captured, the TOS is incremented by 1 , modulo max LBR
stack size. The LBR HW only records the call stack information to the
register which the TOS points to. It will not touch other LBR
registers. So the registers above the TOS probably still store the valid
call stack information for an overflowed call stack, which need to be
reported.
To retrieve complete call stack information, we need to start from TOS,
read all LBR registers until an invalid entry is detected.
0s can be used to detect the invalid entry, because:
- When a RET is captured, the HW zeros the LBR register which TOS points
to, then decreases the TOS.
- The LBR registers are reset to 0 when adding a new LBR event or
scheduling an existing LBR event.
- A taken branch at IP 0 is not expected
The context switch code is also modified to save/restore all valid LBR
registers. Furthermore, the LBR registers, which don't have valid call
stack information, need to be reset in restore, because they may be
polluted while swapped out.
Here is a small test program, tchain_deep.
Its call stack is deeper than 32.
noinline void f33(void)
{
int i;
for (i = 0; i < 10000000;) {
if (i%2)
i++;
else
i++;
}
}
noinline void f32(void)
{
f33();
}
noinline void f31(void)
{
f32();
}
... ...
noinline void f1(void)
{
f2();
}
int main()
{
f1();
}
Here is the test result on SKX. The max stack size of SKX is 32.
Without the patch:
$ perf record -e cycles --call-graph lbr -- ./tchain_deep
$ perf report --stdio
#
# Children Self Command Shared Object Symbol
# ........ ........ ........... ................ .................
#
100.00% 99.99% tchain_deep tchain_deep [.] f33
|
--99.99%--f30
f31
f32
f33
With the patch:
$ perf record -e cycles --call-graph lbr -- ./tchain_deep
$ perf report --stdio
# Children Self Command Shared Object Symbol
# ........ ........ ........... ................ ..................
#
99.99% 0.00% tchain_deep tchain_deep [.] f1
