perf: callchain feature on ARM - question about libunwind API

by Jean Pihet

Hi! I am looking for info and help on the libunwind API. What I am trying to achieve is to allow the callchain feature on perf for ARM (v7 to start with, then ARMv8), from the DWARF info found in the .debug_frame section. >From the source code in tools/perf I have added the call to dwarf_find_debug_frame to load and parse the debug info from .debug_frame. This works correctly, all IP ranges are found from the debug code (test program and libraries). Then at some point I get an assertion: 'perf: dwarf/Gparser.c:459: fetch_proc_info: Assertion `c->pi.unwind_info' failed.' At that point c->pi is NULL. Cf. below for more info. It looks like I am not using the libunwind API as it should, so that the perf code apparently builds a list of IP ranges to resolve but cannot use it later on to gather statistics on the runtime info. Any idea on how to progress? I am also looking at the *_proc_info API of libunwind. Here is the patch I am using below.

[PATCH 00/16] cpufreq: create & use cpufreq_generic_get() routine

by Viresh Kumar

CPUFreq drivers that use clock frameworks interface,i.e. clk_get_rate(), to get CPUs clk rate, has similar sort of code used for most of them. This patchset adds a generic ->get() which will do the same thing for them. All those drivers are required to now is to set .get to cpufreq_generic_get() and set their clk pointer in policy->clk during ->init(). Later part of this patchset fixes 17 drivers with this change. That's part 7 of my generic cleanups for CPUFreq core, first six are here: 1: cpufreq: Introduce cpufreq_table_validate_and_show() https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/8/8/263 2: cpufreq: define generic routines for cpufreq drivers https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/8/10/48 3.

[RESEND RFC 0/2] ARM: mm: HugeTLB + THP support for non-LPAE

by Steve Capper

Hello, I'm resending this series to try and provoke some discussion. -- The following patches bring both HugeTLB support and Transparent HugePage (THP) support to ARM for 2 levels of paging (i.e. without LPAE). This code has been tested on an Arndale board (Exynos 5250), and is based on 3.11-rc1, with the hugepage simplification patch: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2013-July/184117.html HugeTLB and THP support for LPAE has already been merged in 3.11-rc1. Hugepages can give nice performance boosts to workloads that put pressure on the TLBs. I've observed uplifts of ~5% to some tasks just by enabling hugepages via the libhugetlbfs tools. Other people have observed decent performance boosts when huge pages are enabled: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2013-February/148835.… I would appreciate any discussion on these patches, as there are people who have an interest in having huge page support in non-LPAE kernels.

[PATCH v8 0/2] Introduce buffer synchronization framework

by Inki Dae

Hi all, This patch set introduces a buffer synchronization framework based on DMA BUF[1] and based on ww-mutexes[2] for lock mechanism, and has been rebased on linux-next. The purpose of this framework is to provide not only buffer access control to CPU and CPU, and CPU and DMA, and DMA and DMA but also easy-to-use interfaces for device drivers and user application. In addtion, this patch set suggests a way for enhancing performance. Changelog v8: Consider the write-and-then-read ordering pointed out by David Herrmann, - The ordering issue means that a task don't take a lock to the dmabuf so this task would be stalled even though this task requested a lock to the dmabuf between other task unlocked and tries to lock the dmabuf again. For this, we have added a wait event mechanism using only generic APIs, wait_event_timeout and wake_up functions. The below is how to handle the ordering issue using this mechanism: 1. Check if there is a sync object added prior to current task's one. 2. If exists, it unlocks the dmabuf so that other task can take a lock to the dmabuf first. 3. Wait for the wake up event from other task: current task will be waked up when other task unlocks the dmabuf. 4. Take a lock to the dmabuf again. - Code cleanups. Changelog v7: Fix things pointed out by Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk, - Use EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL instead of EXPORT_SYMBOL. - Make sure to unlock and unreference all dmabuf objects when dmabuf_sync_fini() is called. - Add more comments. - Code cleanups. Changelog v6: - Fix sync lock to multiple reads. - Add select system call support. . Wake up poll_wait when a dmabuf is unlocked. - Remove unnecessary the use of mutex lock. - Add private backend ops callbacks. . This ops has one callback for device drivers to clean up their sync object resource when the sync object is freed. For this, device drivers should implement the free callback properly. - Update document file. Changelog v5: - Rmove a dependence on reservation_object: the reservation_object is used to hook up to ttm and dma-buf for easy sharing of reservations across devices. However, the dmabuf sync can be used for all dma devices; v4l2 and drm based drivers, so doesn't need the reservation_object anymore. With regared to this, it adds 'void *sync' to dma_buf structure. - All patches are rebased on mainline, Linux v3.10. Changelog v4: - Add user side interface for buffer synchronization mechanism and update descriptions related to the user side interface. Changelog v3: - remove cache operation relevant codes and update document file. Changelog v2: - use atomic_add_unless to avoid potential bug. - add a macro for checking valid access type. - code clean. For generic user mode interface, we have used fcntl and select system call[3]. As you know, user application sees a buffer object as a dma-buf file descriptor. So fcntl() call with the file descriptor means to lock some buffer region being managed by the dma-buf object. And select() call means to wait for the completion of CPU or DMA access to the dma-buf without locking. For more detail, you can refer to the dma-buf-sync.txt in Documentation/ There are some cases user-space process needs this buffer synchronization framework. One of which is to primarily enhance GPU rendering performance in case that 3D app draws somthing in a buffer using CPU, and other process composes the buffer with its own backbuffer using GPU. In case of 3D app, the app calls glFlush to submit 3d commands to GPU driver instead of glFinish for more performance. The reason, we call glFlush, is that glFinish blocks caller's task until the execution of the 3d commands is completed. So that makes GPU and CPU more idle. As a result, 3d rendering performance with glFinish is quite lower than glFlush. However, the use of glFlush has one issue that the the buffer shared with GPU could be broken when CPU accesses the buffer just after glFlush because CPU cannot be aware of the completion of GPU access to the buffer. Of course, the app can be aware of that time using eglWaitGL but this function is valid only in case of the same context. The below summarizes how app's window is displayed on Tizen[4] platform: 1. X client requests a window buffer to Xorg. 2. X client draws something in the window buffer using CPU. 3. X client requests SWAP to Xorg. 4. Xorg notifies a damage event to Composite Manager. 5. Composite Manager gets the window buffer (front buffer) through DRI2GetBuffers. 6. Composite Manager composes the window buffer and its own back buffer using GPU. At this time, eglSwapBuffers is called: internally, 3d commands are flushed to gpu driver. 7. Composite Manager requests SWAP to Xorg. 8. Xorg performs drm page flip. At this time, the window buffer is displayed on screen. Web app based on HTML5 also has the same issue. Web browser and Web app are different process. The Web app can draw something in its own buffer using CPU, and then the Web Browser can compose the buffer with its own back buffer. Thus, in such cases, a shared buffer could be broken as one process draws something in a buffer using CPU, when other process composes the buffer with its own buffer using GPU without any locking mechanism. That is why we need user land locking interface, fcntl system call. And last one is a deferred page flip issue. This issue is that a window buffer rendered can be displayed on screen in about 32ms in worst case: assume that the gpu rendering is completed within 16ms. That can be incurred when compositing a pixmap buffer with a window buffer using GPU and when vsync is just started. At this time, Xorg waits for a vblank event to get a window buffer so 3d rendering will be delayed up to about 16ms. As a result, the window buffer would be displayed in about two vsyncs (about 32ms) and in turn, that would show slow responsiveness. For this, we could enhance the responsiveness with locking mechanism: skipping one vblank wait. I guess Android, Chrome OS, and other platforms are using their own locking mechanisms with similar reason; Android sync driver, KDS, and DMA fence. The below shows the deferred page flip issue in worst case: |------------ <- vsync signal |<------ DRI2GetBuffers | | | |------------ <- vsync signal |<------ Request gpu rendering time | | |<------ Request page flip (deferred) |------------ <- vsync signal |<------ Displayed on screen | | | |------------ <- vsync signal Thanks, Inki Dae References: [1] http://lwn.net/Articles/470339/ [2] https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/2625361/ [3] http://linux.die.net/man/2/fcntl [4] https://www.tizen.org/ Inki Dae (2): dmabuf-sync: Add a buffer synchronization framework dma-buf: Add user interfaces for dmabuf sync support Documentation/dma-buf-sync.txt | 286 ++++++++++++ drivers/base/Kconfig | 7 + drivers/base/Makefile | 1 + drivers/base/dma-buf.c | 85 ++++ drivers/base/dmabuf-sync.c | 943 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ include/linux/dma-buf.h | 16 + include/linux/dmabuf-sync.h | 257 +++++++++++ 7 files changed, 1595 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) create mode 100644 Documentation/dma-buf-sync.txt create mode 100644 drivers/base/dmabuf-sync.c create mode 100644 include/linux/dmabuf-sync.h -- 1.7.5.4
