[PATCH v2] perf_counter: powerpc: Add callchain support

From: Paul Mackerras
Date: Thu Aug 06 2009 - 00:59:07 EST


This adds support for tracing callchains for powerpc, both 32-bit
and 64-bit, and both in the kernel and userspace, from PMU interrupt
context.

The first three entries stored for each callchain are the NIP (next
instruction pointer), LR (link register), and the contents of the LR
save area in the second stack frame (the first is ignored because the
ABI convention on powerpc is that functions save their return address
in their caller's stack frame). Because functions don't have to save
their return address (LR value) and don't have to establish a stack
frame, it's possible for either or both of LR and the second stack
frame's LR save area to have valid return addresses in them. This
is basically impossible to disambiguate without either reading the
code or looking at auxiliary information such as CFI tables. Since
we don't want to do that at interrupt time, we store both LR and the
second stack frame's LR save area.

Once we get past the second stack frame, there is no ambiguity; all
return addresses we get are reliable.

For kernel traces, we check whether they are valid kernel instruction
addresses and store zero instead if they are not (rather than
omitting them, which would make it impossible for userspace to know
which was which). We also store zero instead of the second stack
frame's LR save area value if it is the same as LR.

For kernel traces, we check for interrupt frames, and for user traces,
we check for signal frames. In each case, since we're starting a new
trace, we store a PERF_CONTEXT_KERNEL/USER marker so that userspace
knows that the next three entries are NIP, LR and the second stack frame
for the interrupted context.

We read user memory with __get_user_inatomic. On 64-bit, if this
PMU interrupt occurred while interrupts are soft-disabled, and
there is no MMU hash table entry for the page, we will get an
-EFAULT return from __get_user_inatomic even if there is a valid
Linux PTE for the page, since hash_page isn't reentrant. Thus we
have code here to read the Linux PTE and access the page via the
kernel linear mapping. Since 64-bit doesn't use (or need) highmem
there is no need to do kmap_atomic. On 32-bit, we don't do soft
interrupt disabling, so this complication doesn't occur and there
is no need to fall back to reading the Linux PTE, since hash_page
will get called automatically if necessary.

Note that we cannot get PMU interrupts in the interval during
context switch between switch_mm (which switches the user address
space) and switch_to (which actually changes current to the new
process). On 64-bit this is because interrupts are hard-disabled
in switch_mm and stay hard-disabled until they are soft-enabled
later, after switch_to has returned. So there is no possibility
of trying to do a user stack trace when the user address space is
not current's address space.
