Hi,
We request that the following patch for additional kernel event
notifications be included in the upcoming 2.6.x kernel.
The current profiling hooks provide notifications at the end of a task's
lifetime (i.e., task exit, mmap exit, and exec unmap). We would like to
have additional notifications on the start of a task (i.e., fork,
execve, kernel image loads, and user image loads).
We believe that profiling tools such as Oprofile, Perfmon, and VTune
would benefit from the additional hooks by improving the accuracy and
completeness of the performance data, especially when working in
environments that can dynamically create and destroy executable code
(such as Java). Furthermore, these hooks could be used to measure
different types of performance data (e.g., "forks per second") which are
currently not available any other way.
Our patch follows the conventions used by the current profiling hooks,
and is relatively small.
We would appreciate comments/feedback on our proposal.
Regards,
Juan Villacis

Any chance of this getting into 2.6? I for one would like to see it so
that the performance monitoring tools can work properly without having
to resort to syscall table patching. I've inlined the diffstat and
patch for easy reading.
Thanks,
Jesse

If the code which uses these hooks is included in the kernel.org tree, yes.
If the code which needs the hooks is not in the kernel.org tree then people
can patch the core kernel at the same time as adding the performance
analysis patch.
If the code which needs these hooks is not appropriately licensed then
these hooks basically constitute a GPL bypass and that is not a direction
we wish to be heading in.

Hi,
Our sampling driver kernel module which uses these hooks is GPL
and could be included in the kernel.org tree.
The current version of the driver (also GPL, but which hooks the
sys_call_table for 2.4.x-based kernels) is posted at,
http://www.intel.com/software/products/opensource/vdk/
We plan to post our new driver for kernel 2.6.0-test5 (with the
event notification patch applied) on both IA-32 and IA-64 to the
above site early next week.

Ah, OK.
That code seems to have a lot of infrastructure for buffering samples,
transferring it to userspace, etc.
Have you looked into using the infrastructure in drivers/oprofile/ for
this? In other words: is it possible to augment the kernel's existing
oprofile capabilities so they meet VTune requirements?

I think Juan simply wants to remove the ugly hack that hooks
sys_call_table.
Constituting a GPL bypass is not his purpose of adding the hooks.
Several similar hooks are already there.
Probably what's missing is value of adding those hooks in the kernel.org
tree. I guess there is a user-level command available that runs on Linux
(other than GUI-based), to analyze user/kernel performance in a detailed
fashion.
Thanks,
Jun

We are not trying to change the current profiling infrastructure. We
are trying to enhance the existing event notification scheme to handle
more events.

The current event notifications used by tools like Oprofile, while quite
useful, are not sufficient. The additional event notifications we
propose can provide a more complete picture for performance tuning on
Linux, particularly for dynamically generated code (such as found in
Java).
In addition to allowing for the enhancement of current performance
tools, it also enables creation of new tools to gather measurements that
were previously difficult to obtain (e.g., "image loads per second").

You are answering a question I did not ask. Let me rephrase.
Have you considered interfacing vtune userspace to oprofilefs and enhancing
oprofilefs to meet vtune requirements, thus removing the need for the vtune
kernel module, and its device node and ioctl interface?

We have considered the option of using Oprofile's mechanisms for VTune,
but Oprofile and VTune do different things in different ways. For
example,
both tools capture performance data, but Oprofile was designed with
aggregation in mind whereas VTune was designed to collect all the data
and then post-process it.
We are open to putting the VTune driver into the kernel source tree.
However, is consolidation of the performance tools a requirement for
getting the four additional event notifications into the kernel?

Can you explain why profiling dynamically generated code needs kernel
support? The kernel should not know anything about this.
The original oprofile patch also added similar hooks, but they were
not merged. Instead the "dcookies" mechanism was added to assign samples to
specific executables. Why can't you use the same mechanism?
There is not more information in the kernel than what dcookies
already provide.

It would help a huge amount if you explained how you do :
EIP -> java source line / symbol
This is the exact transformation that oprofile *doesn't* do, and I never
managed to get a clear explanation of what you need and why for that to
happen.
In particular, your userspace must be doing some sort of communication
with the running Java VM, and the question remains open as to whether
it's possible to do that in an oprofile manner instead of a VTune 2.4 /
OProfile 2.4 manner.
I still suspect we have significant amounts of code that can be merged
between us. This would be a significant benefit to the poor saps such as
akpm who have to care about the kernel as a whole.
You also mentioned performance issues with the current OProfile code -
have we discussed the new design at all (basically: keep task structs
hanging around, remove the horrific buffer_sem)

Could you please explain why you cant build on top of oprofile? If arch
specific profilers start going in, we are going to have 5 different ways
of doing the same thing.
We really need to work together on this. We for example have a bunch of
ppc64 profiling stuff but throwing that into the kernel to create yet
another profiler is not the answer.

In some cases, a profiler can figure out information regarding
Dynamically Generate Code (DGC) with help from the generator of the
code, but in other cases it cannot.
In the case of Java jitted code, our userspace tools obtain sufficient
information through JVMPI, when it is implemented by the JVM. However,
for DGC which does not have such userspace support, it is important to
be able to spot and accurately attribute samples to DGC. The 4
additional profiling hooks we proposed can be used for such purposes.

If the generator of DGC frees memory used for DGC that subsequently gets
a loaded image (or reuses memory that may have once had an executable
image), you can mis-attribute samples so that instead of attributing the
samples to the DGC, you will attribute the samples to an image. The
dcookie mechanism will indicate information about an image, but doesn't
help prevent mis-attribution of samples if DGC is intermixed with images
that are loaded/unloaded in the same memory region.

The patch we submitted adds 4 generic hooks to the existing set of
profiling hooks. These additional hooks can be used to help performance
tools such as Oprofile and VTune to not mis-attribute performance data.

We are open to the possibility of including the VTune driver into the
base kernel, perhaps in an architecture-dependent area. It could
complement existing profilers.

I would argue that any JVM that doesn't yet implement
JVMPI_EVENT_COMPILED_METHOD_LOAD is broken - JVMPI has been around for a
long time now.
I don't see why the kernel is the correct place to fix such lacking
functionality.

Please be specific about which *actual* cases you're worried about, and
why they shouldn't be fixed in userspace.

Simply flush the sample buffer by echo 1 >/dev/oprofile/dump when you
receive a COMPILED_METHOD_LOAD/UNLOAD that conflicts with a previous
mapping.

There are several languages and tools besides Java which can jit code.
Perl6 (using interpreters like Parrot) and Python (using interpreters
like Psycho) are examples of this and it is not yet clear what
interfaces they will provide to allow for JVMPI like functionality. We
would like to be able to profile applications using these interpreters
(as well as others). If userspace interpreters, for whatever reason, do
not provide functionality for tracking jitted code, would it not be
useful to provide help in the kernel to allow profilers to be able to
track this?
Although we understand your belief that a DGC generator that doesn't
provide hooks for determining the DGC information may not be optimal, we
would still like to be able to provide something useful to the users of
those environments. Perhaps this philosophical discussion is better
handled offline per an earlier suggestion.

As long as there exists a userspace API similar to the JVMPI for a
particular DGC generator, and as long as the profiling tool is using
that API, then yes, it seems like this method would work. But this
isn't the case we are worried about.

First, "we might need it" is not generally considered a good enough
rationale for extra code by the kernel people.
Second, if there is no help from a runtime for tracking JITted code
memory -> source lines, I do not see how your hooks could possibly help.
Either way you need help from the VM of the target program (be it
Parrot, Python or whatever).

Correct.
But we're talking about making oprofile useful for your purposes - that
can and will involve changes. In particular it's trivial to add an
option to oprofile to output the raw EIP is no dentry could be matched.

I hate to be a pain, but I'm still missing a concrete explanation of an
*actual* case you are worried about. It's rather difficult to discuss
this stuff in the abstract.
