@palmer-dabbelt this can be merged as is to enable at least SW perf infrastructure.

HW perf counters will take some time

NonerKao commented Feb 9, 2018

We are currently working on the perf port as well, and our goal in this stage is to make cycle, instret, and time register visible as HW events. Maybe we can have some discussion on the implementation decisions?

Thanks.

Sure, let's discuss.

My plan is to add SBI calls to use configurable HW perf counters.

Thanks. I've pulled this into riscv-all.

Sure, for the write access to performance counters in machine mode, we will need a SBI for this.

Also, I am interested in the implementation paradigm for riscv/kernel/perf_event.c, by which I mean the ways other architectures have implemented perf. Some of them utilize platform driver framework (arm, arm64) , some connect to the pmc unit (powerpc, s390, tile), and some just call perf_pmu_register with "cpu" and TYPE_RAW (mips).

All those method works, but they treat distinct PMUs in different ways. I suppose we need to come up with a consensus on which paradigm we are going to apply, because in the foreseeable future, there will be at least three PMUs:

  • Base system, simulators like spike and qemu: only instret, cycle and time counters are supported.
  • Sifive family: Hifive Unleashed dev-board, and others in the future.
  • Andes family: AndesCore N25 and NX25, and others in the future.

As I mentioned previously, our goal is to make cycle, instret, and time register visible as HW events when using perf program, which is a general part for all RISC-V platforms. We estimate this goal to be done in two weeks, and currently we are trying the pmc paradigm. But considering that you may have done far more than us, it is good for the whole RISC-V community to exchange some implementation ideas at this early stage of the perf port.

Thanks and sorry for the late reply, since we were enjoying our traditional lunar new year holiday during the past week. I hope this discussion can minimize our duplication of work in implementing perf.

…on()

Fix the following slab-out-of-bounds kasan report in
ndisc_fill_redirect_hdr_option when the incoming ipv6 packet is not
linear and the accessed data are not in the linear data region of orig_skb.

[ 1503.159964] Disabling lock debugging due to kernel taint

The test scenario to trigger the issue consists of 4 devices:
- H0: data sender, connected to LAN0
- H1: data receiver, connected to LAN1
- GW0 and GW1: routers between LAN0 and LAN1. Both of them have an
  ethernet connection on LAN0 and LAN1
On H{0,1} set GW0 as default gateway while on GW0 set GW1 as next hop for
data from LAN0 to LAN1.
Moreover create an ip6ip6 tunnel between H0 and H1 and send 3 concurrent
data streams (TCP/UDP/SCTP) from H0 to H1 through ip6ip6 tunnel (send
buffer size is set to 16K). While data streams are active flush the route
cache on HA multiple times.
I have not been able to identify a given commit that introduced the issue
since, using the reproducer described above, the kasan report has been
triggered from 4.14 and I have not gone back further.
