可以通过perf list命令来查看系统中的software event：

# simpleperf list sw
List of software events:
  cpu-clock
  task-clock
  page-faults
  context-switches
  cpu-migrations
  minor-faults
  major-faults
  alignment-faults
  emulation-faults

1、原理介绍：

software pmu的trace数据抓取分为两类：“cpu-clock”、“task-clock”为采样法，其他为插桩法。

enum perf_sw_ids {
    PERF_COUNT_SW_CPU_CLOCK         = 0,
    PERF_COUNT_SW_TASK_CLOCK        = 1,
    PERF_COUNT_SW_PAGE_FAULTS       = 2,
    PERF_COUNT_SW_CONTEXT_SWITCHES      = 3,
    PERF_COUNT_SW_CPU_MIGRATIONS        = 4,
    PERF_COUNT_SW_PAGE_FAULTS_MIN       = 5,
    PERF_COUNT_SW_PAGE_FAULTS_MAJ       = 6,
    PERF_COUNT_SW_ALIGNMENT_FAULTS      = 7,
    PERF_COUNT_SW_EMULATION_FAULTS      = 8,
    PERF_COUNT_SW_DUMMY         = 9,
    PERF_COUNT_SW_BPF_OUTPUT        = 10,

    PERF_COUNT_SW_MAX,          /* non-ABI */
};

1.1、插桩法

插桩法的software event和tracepoint event本质上是一样的，只是tracepoint event是复用trace_event，而software event是重新创建的插桩点。

  • 1、“page-faults”的插桩点：

el0_sync() -> el0_da() -> do_mem_abort() -> do_mem_abort() -> do_page_fault():

static int __kprobes do_page_fault(unsigned long addr, unsigned int esr,
                   struct pt_regs *regs)
{

    /* “context-switches”的插桩点，被命中时上报数据 */
    perf_sw_event(PERF_COUNT_SW_PAGE_FAULTS, 1, regs, addr);

}
  • 2、“context-switches”的插桩点：

context_switch() -> prepare_task_switch() -> perf_event_task_sched_out():

static inline void perf_event_task_sched_out(struct task_struct *prev,
                         struct task_struct *next)
{
    /* “context-switches”的插桩点，被命中时上报数据 */
    perf_sw_event_sched(PERF_COUNT_SW_CONTEXT_SWITCHES, 1, 0);

    if (static_key_false(&perf_sched_events.key))
        __perf_event_task_sched_out(prev, next);
}
  • 3、“cpu-migrations”的插桩点：

context_switch() -> finish_task_switch() -> perf_event_task_sched_in():

static inline void perf_event_task_sched_in(struct task_struct *prev,
                        struct task_struct *task)
{
    if (static_key_false(&perf_sched_events.key))
        __perf_event_task_sched_in(prev, task);

    /* “cpu-migrations”的插桩点，被命中时上报数据 */
    if (perf_sw_migrate_enabled() && task->sched_migrated) {
        struct pt_regs *regs = this_cpu_ptr(&__perf_regs[0]);

        perf_fetch_caller_regs(regs);
        ___perf_sw_event(PERF_COUNT_SW_CPU_MIGRATIONS, 1, regs, 0);
        task->sched_migrated = 0;
    }
}
  • 4、“minor-faults”&“major-faults”的插桩点：

el0_sync() -> el0_da() -> do_mem_abort() -> do_mem_abort() -> do_page_fault():

static int __kprobes do_page_fault(unsigned long addr, unsigned int esr,
                   struct pt_regs *regs)
{

    perf_sw_event(PERF_COUNT_SW_PAGE_FAULTS, 1, regs, addr);
    if (mm_flags & FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY) {
        if (fault & VM_FAULT_MAJOR) {
            tsk->maj_flt++;
            /* “major-faults”的插桩点，被命中时上报数据 */
            perf_sw_event(PERF_COUNT_SW_PAGE_FAULTS_MAJ, 1, regs,
                      addr);
        } else {
            tsk->min_flt++;
            /* “minor-faults”的插桩点，被命中时上报数据 */
            perf_sw_event(PERF_COUNT_SW_PAGE_FAULTS_MIN, 1, regs,
                      addr);
        }
        if (fault & VM_FAULT_RETRY) {
            /*
             * Clear FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY to avoid any risk of
             * starvation.
             */
            mm_flags &= ~FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY;
            mm_flags |= FAULT_FLAG_TRIED;
            goto retry;
        }
    }

}
  • 5、“alignment-faults”的插桩点：

arm64没有插桩点

  • 6、“emulation-faults”的插桩点：

cp15barrier_handler():

static int cp15barrier_handler(struct pt_regs *regs, u32 instr)
{
    perf_sw_event(PERF_COUNT_SW_EMULATION_FAULTS, 1, regs, regs->pc);

}

1.2、采样法

采样法是间隔多少事件去采样，事件可以是指令数、时间、cache miss次数等。一般使用专门的硬件pmu来采样，“cpu-clock”、“task-clock”使用软件的hrtimer来采样。

在硬件PMU不支持的情况下，也可以参考hrtimer的采样值。

2、event init

2.1、”software”

static struct pmu perf_swevent = {
    .task_ctx_nr    = perf_sw_context,

    .capabilities   = PERF_PMU_CAP_NO_NMI,

    .event_init = perf_swevent_init,
    .add        = perf_swevent_add,
    .del        = perf_swevent_del,
    .start      = perf_swevent_start,
    .stop       = perf_swevent_stop,
    .read       = perf_swevent_read,

    .events_across_hotplug = 1,
};

对应初始化函数：

static int perf_swevent_init(struct perf_event *event)
{
    u64 event_id = event->attr.config;

    if (event->attr.type != PERF_TYPE_SOFTWARE)
        return -ENOENT;

    /*
     * no branch sampling for software events
     */
    if (has_branch_stack(event))
        return -EOPNOTSUPP;

    switch (event_id) {
    case PERF_COUNT_SW_CPU_CLOCK:
    case PERF_COUNT_SW_TASK_CLOCK:
        return -ENOENT;

    default:
        break;
    }

    if (event_id >= PERF_COUNT_SW_MAX)
        return -ENOENT;

    if (!event->parent) {
        int err;

        /* (1) 确保per_cpu的hash表已经创建 */
        err = swevent_hlist_get(event);
        if (err)
            return err;

        /* (2) 打开event_id对应event的开关 */
        static_key_slow_inc(&perf_swevent_enabled[event_id]);
        event->destroy = sw_perf_event_destroy;
    }

    return 0;
}

↓

static int swevent_hlist_get(struct perf_event *event)
{
    int err;
    int cpu, failed_cpu;

    get_online_cpus();
    for_each_possible_cpu(cpu) {
        err = swevent_hlist_get_cpu(event, cpu);
        if (err) {
            failed_cpu = cpu;
            goto fail;
        }
    }
    put_online_cpus();

    return 0;
fail:
    for_each_possible_cpu(cpu) {
        if (cpu == failed_cpu)
            break;
        swevent_hlist_put_cpu(event, cpu);
    }

    put_online_cpus();
    return err;
}

↓

static int swevent_hlist_get_cpu(struct perf_event *event, int cpu)
{
    struct swevent_htable *swhash = &per_cpu(swevent_htable, cpu);
    int err = 0;

    mutex_lock(&swhash->hlist_mutex);

    /* (1.1) 确保per_cpu的hash表已经分配 */
    if (!swevent_hlist_deref(swhash) && cpu_online(cpu)) {
        struct swevent_hlist *hlist;

        hlist = kzalloc(sizeof(*hlist), GFP_KERNEL);
        if (!hlist) {
            err = -ENOMEM;
            goto exit;
        }
        rcu_assign_pointer(swhash->swevent_hlist, hlist);
    }

    /* (1.2) 增加对hash表的引用 */
    swhash->hlist_refcount++;
exit:
    mutex_unlock(&swhash->hlist_mutex);

    return err;
}

这里的核心是一个默认256大小的hash链表，稍后会根据(type+config)的hash键值把event链接进去。

#define SWEVENT_HLIST_BITS      8
#define SWEVENT_HLIST_SIZE      (1 << SWEVENT_HLIST_BITS)

struct swevent_hlist {
    struct hlist_head       heads[SWEVENT_HLIST_SIZE];
    struct rcu_head         rcu_head;
};

2.2、“cpu-clock”

static struct pmu perf_cpu_clock = {
    .task_ctx_nr    = perf_sw_context,

    .capabilities   = PERF_PMU_CAP_NO_NMI,

    .event_init = cpu_clock_event_init,
    .add        = cpu_clock_event_add,
    .del        = cpu_clock_event_del,
    .start      = cpu_clock_event_start,
    .stop       = cpu_clock_event_stop,
    .read       = cpu_clock_event_read,

    .events_across_hotplug = 1,
};

对应初始化函数：

static int cpu_clock_event_init(struct perf_event *event)
{
    if (event->attr.type != PERF_TYPE_SOFTWARE)
        return -ENOENT;

    if (event->attr.config != PERF_COUNT_SW_CPU_CLOCK)
        return -ENOENT;

    /*
     * no branch sampling for software events
     */
    if (has_branch_stack(event))
        return -EOPNOTSUPP;

    perf_swevent_init_hrtimer(event);

    return 0;
}

↓

static void perf_swevent_init_hrtimer(struct perf_event *event)
{
    struct hw_perf_event *hwc = &event->hw;

    if (!is_sampling_event(event))
        return;

    /* (1) 初始化对应hrtimer */
    hrtimer_init(&hwc->hrtimer, CLOCK_MONOTONIC, HRTIMER_MODE_REL);
    hwc->hrtimer.function = perf_swevent_hrtimer;

    /*
     * Since hrtimers have a fixed rate, we can do a static freq->period
     * mapping and avoid the whole period adjust feedback stuff.
     */
    /* (2) 如果是freq模式，根据freq计算period 
        在这种模式下->period_left不为负，等于->sample_period
     */
    if (event->attr.freq) {
        long freq = event->attr.sample_freq;

        event->attr.sample_period = NSEC_PER_SEC / freq;
        hwc->sample_period = event->attr.sample_period;
        local64_set(&hwc->period_left, hwc->sample_period);
        hwc->last_period = hwc->sample_period;
        event->attr.freq = 0;
    }
}

2.3、“task-clock”

static struct pmu perf_task_clock = {
    .task_ctx_nr    = perf_sw_context,

    .capabilities   = PERF_PMU_CAP_NO_NMI,

    .event_init = task_clock_event_init,
    .add        = task_clock_event_add,
    .del        = task_clock_event_del,
    .start      = task_clock_event_start,
    .stop       = task_clock_event_stop,
    .read       = task_clock_event_read,

    .events_across_hotplug = 1,
};

对应初始化函数：

static int task_clock_event_init(struct perf_event *event)
{
    if (event->attr.type != PERF_TYPE_SOFTWARE)
        return -ENOENT;

    if (event->attr.config != PERF_COUNT_SW_TASK_CLOCK)
        return -ENOENT;

    /*
     * no branch sampling for software events
     */
    if (has_branch_stack(event))
        return -EOPNOTSUPP;

    perf_swevent_init_hrtimer(event);

    return 0;
}

3、event add/del

在上一章“perf_event内核框架”中已经阐明，task维度的perf_event需要和task一起调度，其回调函数最后控制的就是perf_event的启动和停止。

  • start函数调用路径：context_switch() -> finish_task_switch() -> perf_event_task_sched_in() -> __perf_event_task_sched_in() -> perf_event_context_sched_in() -> perf_event_sched_in() -> ctx_sched_in() -> ctx_pinned_sched_in()/ctx_flexible_sched_in() -> group_sched_in() -> event_sched_in() -> pmu->add(event, PERF_EF_START) -> xxx_add():

  • stop函数调用路径：context_switch() -> prepare_task_switch() -> perf_event_task_sched_out() -> __perf_event_task_sched_out() -> perf_event_context_sched_out() -> ctx_sched_out() -> group_sched_out() -> event_sched_out() -> pmu->del() -> xxx_del():

3.1、”software”

这里写图片描述

这种模式下，控制”software”event的启动和停止，实际上就是把event加入/移除到hash链表上。

  • perf_swevent_add():
static int perf_swevent_add(struct perf_event *event, int flags)
{
    struct swevent_htable *swhash = this_cpu_ptr(&swevent_htable);
    struct hw_perf_event *hwc = &event->hw;
    struct hlist_head *head;

    /* (1) 重新计算period参数 */
    if (is_sampling_event(event)) {
        hwc->last_period = hwc->sample_period;
        perf_swevent_set_period(event);
    }

    hwc->state = !(flags & PERF_EF_START);

    /* (2) 根据event的(type+config)计算在hash表中的链表head */
    head = find_swevent_head(swhash, event);
    if (WARN_ON_ONCE(!head))
        return -EINVAL;

    /* (3) 将event加入链表 */
    hlist_add_head_rcu(&event->hlist_entry, head);
    perf_event_update_userpage(event);

    return 0;
}
  • perf_swevent_del():
static void perf_swevent_del(struct perf_event *event, int flags)
{
    /* (1) 将event从链表中移除 */
    hlist_del_rcu(&event->hlist_entry);
}

3.2、“cpu-clock”

每个event一个独立的hrtimer，所有就没有什么链表之类的了。

  • cpu_clock_event_add():
static int cpu_clock_event_add(struct perf_event *event, int flags)
{
    if (flags & PERF_EF_START)
        cpu_clock_event_start(event, flags);
    perf_event_update_userpage(event);

    return 0;
}

↓

static void cpu_clock_event_start(struct perf_event *event, int flags)
{
    /* (1) 记下当前的cpu time值 */
    local64_set(&event->hw.prev_count, local_clock());

    /* (2) 启动hrtimer */
    perf_swevent_start_hrtimer(event);
}

↓

static void perf_swevent_start_hrtimer(struct perf_event *event)
{
    struct hw_perf_event *hwc = &event->hw;
    s64 period;

    if (!is_sampling_event(event))
        return;

    /* (2.1) hrtimer的周期为10ms和->sample_period两者中的较大值 */
    period = local64_read(&hwc->period_left);
    if (period) {
        if (period < 0)
            period = 10000;

        local64_set(&hwc->period_left, 0);
    } else {
        period = max_t(u64, 10000, hwc->sample_period);
    }
    hrtimer_start(&hwc->hrtimer, ns_to_ktime(period),
              HRTIMER_MODE_REL_PINNED);
}

hrtimer到期后的执行函数为perf_swevent_hrtimer()，它会定期的上报sample数据。

static enum hrtimer_restart perf_swevent_hrtimer(struct hrtimer *hrtimer)
{
    enum hrtimer_restart ret = HRTIMER_RESTART;
    struct perf_sample_data data;
    struct pt_regs *regs;
    struct perf_event *event;
    u64 period;

    event = container_of(hrtimer, struct perf_event, hw.hrtimer);

    if (event->state != PERF_EVENT_STATE_ACTIVE)
        return HRTIMER_NORESTART;

    event->pmu->read(event);

    perf_sample_data_init(&data, 0, event->hw.last_period);
    regs = get_irq_regs();

    if (regs && !perf_exclude_event(event, regs)) {
        if (!(event->attr.exclude_idle && is_idle_task(current)))
            if (__perf_event_overflow(event, 1, &data, regs))
                ret = HRTIMER_NORESTART;
    }

    period = max_t(u64, 10000, event->hw.sample_period);
    hrtimer_forward_now(hrtimer, ns_to_ktime(period));

    return ret;
}
  • cpu_clock_event_del()：
static void cpu_clock_event_del(struct perf_event *event, int flags)
{
    cpu_clock_event_stop(event, flags);
}

↓

static void cpu_clock_event_stop(struct perf_event *event, int flags)
{
    /* (1) 停止hrtimer */
    perf_swevent_cancel_hrtimer(event);

    /* (2) 计算cpu time的差值，用来更新event的count值 */
    cpu_clock_event_update(event);
}

↓

static void cpu_clock_event_update(struct perf_event *event)
{
    s64 prev;
    u64 now;

    now = local_clock();
    prev = local64_xchg(&event->hw.prev_count, now);

    /* (2.1) 使用差值来更新count值 */
    local64_add(now - prev, &event->count);
}

3.3、“task-clock”

“task-clock”和“cpu-clock”基本一致，只是它计算的count值是event所在context time的差值。

  • task_clock_event_add():
static int task_clock_event_add(struct perf_event *event, int flags)
{
    if (flags & PERF_EF_START)
        task_clock_event_start(event, flags);
    perf_event_update_userpage(event);

    return 0;
}

↓

static void task_clock_event_start(struct perf_event *event, int flags)
{
    local64_set(&event->hw.prev_count, event->ctx->time);
    perf_swevent_start_hrtimer(event);
}
  • task_clock_event_del():
static void task_clock_event_del(struct perf_event *event, int flags)
{
    task_clock_event_stop(event, PERF_EF_UPDATE);
}

↓

static void task_clock_event_stop(struct perf_event *event, int flags)
{
    perf_swevent_cancel_hrtimer(event);
    task_clock_event_update(event, event->ctx->time);
}

↓

static void task_clock_event_update(struct perf_event *event, u64 now)
{
    u64 prev;
    s64 delta;

    prev = local64_xchg(&event->hw.prev_count, now);
    delta = now - prev;
    local64_add(delta, &event->count);
}

4、event 数据采集

4.1、”software”

在插桩点被触发后，累加count数据，并且上报sample数据。以“context-switches”为例：

context_switch() -> prepare_task_switch() -> perf_event_task_sched_out():

static inline void perf_event_task_sched_out(struct task_struct *prev,
                         struct task_struct *next)
{
    /* (1) “context-switches”的插桩点，被命中时上报数据 */
    perf_sw_event_sched(PERF_COUNT_SW_CONTEXT_SWITCHES, 1, 0);

    if (static_key_false(&perf_sched_events.key))
        __perf_event_task_sched_out(prev, next);
}

↓

static __always_inline void
perf_sw_event_sched(u32 event_id, u64 nr, u64 addr)
{
    /* (1.1) event开关在init时被使能 */
    if (static_key_false(&perf_swevent_enabled[event_id])) {
        struct pt_regs *regs = this_cpu_ptr(&__perf_regs[0]);

        perf_fetch_caller_regs(regs);
        ___perf_sw_event(event_id, nr, regs, addr);
    }
}

↓

void ___perf_sw_event(u32 event_id, u64 nr, struct pt_regs *regs, u64 addr)
{
    struct perf_sample_data data;

    if (WARN_ON_ONCE(!regs))
        return;

    perf_sample_data_init(&data, addr, 0);
    do_perf_sw_event(PERF_TYPE_SOFTWARE, event_id, nr, &data, regs);
}

↓

static void do_perf_sw_event(enum perf_type_id type, u32 event_id,
                    u64 nr,
                    struct perf_sample_data *data,
                    struct pt_regs *regs)
{
    struct swevent_htable *swhash = this_cpu_ptr(&swevent_htable);
    struct perf_event *event;
    struct hlist_head *head;

    rcu_read_lock();

    /* (1.1.1) 找出pmu在hash表中的event链表 */
    head = find_swevent_head_rcu(swhash, type, event_id);
    if (!head)
        goto end;

    /* (1.1.2) 逐个向event发送数据 */
    hlist_for_each_entry_rcu(event, head, hlist_entry) {

        /* (1.1.3) 因为key(type+config)在hash中可能重复，再进行精确判断 */
        if (perf_swevent_match(event, type, event_id, data, regs))
            perf_swevent_event(event, nr, data, regs);
    }
end:
    rcu_read_unlock();
}

↓

static void perf_swevent_event(struct perf_event *event, u64 nr,
                   struct perf_sample_data *data,
                   struct pt_regs *regs)

    struct hw_perf_event *hwc = &event->hw;

    local64_add(nr, &event->count);

4.2、“cpu-clock”

  • 在del()操作时，计算count差值：

cpu_clock_event_del() -> cpu_clock_event_stop() -> cpu_clock_event_update():

static void cpu_clock_event_update(struct perf_event *event)
{
    s64 prev;
    u64 now;

    now = local_clock();
    prev = local64_xchg(&event->hw.prev_count, now);

    /* 增加count值 */
    local64_add(now - prev, &event->count);
}
  • 在hrtimer中，定时上报sample数据：
static enum hrtimer_restart perf_swevent_hrtimer(struct hrtimer *hrtimer)
{
    enum hrtimer_restart ret = HRTIMER_RESTART;
    struct perf_sample_data data;
    struct pt_regs *regs;
    struct perf_event *event;
    u64 period;

    event = container_of(hrtimer, struct perf_event, hw.hrtimer);

    if (event->state != PERF_EVENT_STATE_ACTIVE)
        return HRTIMER_NORESTART;

    event->pmu->read(event);

    perf_sample_data_init(&data, 0, event->hw.last_period);
    regs = get_irq_regs();

    if (regs && !perf_exclude_event(event, regs)) {
        if (!(event->attr.exclude_idle && is_idle_task(current)))

            /* 上报sample值 */
            if (__perf_event_overflow(event, 1, &data, regs))
                ret = HRTIMER_NORESTART;
    }

    period = max_t(u64, 10000, event->hw.sample_period);
    hrtimer_forward_now(hrtimer, ns_to_ktime(period));

    return ret;
}

4.3、“task-clock”

在del()操作时，计算count差值：

task_clock_event_del() -> task_clock_event_stop() -> task_clock_event_update():

static void task_clock_event_update(struct perf_event *event, u64 now)
{
    u64 prev;
    s64 delta;

    prev = local64_xchg(&event->hw.prev_count, now);
    delta = now - prev;

    /* 增加count值 */
    local64_add(delta, &event->count);
}

在hrtimer中，定时上报sample数据：

static enum hrtimer_restart perf_swevent_hrtimer(struct hrtimer *hrtimer)
{
    enum hrtimer_restart ret = HRTIMER_RESTART;
    struct perf_sample_data data;
    struct pt_regs *regs;
    struct perf_event *event;
    u64 period;

    event = container_of(hrtimer, struct perf_event, hw.hrtimer);

    if (event->state != PERF_EVENT_STATE_ACTIVE)
        return HRTIMER_NORESTART;

    event->pmu->read(event);

    perf_sample_data_init(&data, 0, event->hw.last_period);
    regs = get_irq_regs();

    if (regs && !perf_exclude_event(event, regs)) {
        if (!(event->attr.exclude_idle && is_idle_task(current)))

            /* 上报sample值 */
            if (__perf_event_overflow(event, 1, &data, regs))
                ret = HRTIMER_NORESTART;
    }

    period = max_t(u64, 10000, event->hw.sample_period);
    hrtimer_forward_now(hrtimer, ns_to_ktime(period));

    return ret;
}
