Hi Jiri,

Thanks for testing.

> stacktool: drivers/scsi/hpsa.o: hpsa_scsi_do_simple_cmd.constprop.106()+0x79: call without frame pointer save/setup

This seems like a real frame pointer bug caused by the following line in
arch/x86/include/asm/preempt.h:

  # define __preempt_schedule() asm ("call ___preempt_schedule")

The asm statement doesn't have the stack pointer as an output operand,
so gcc doesn't skips the frame pointer setup before calling.

However, I suspect the "bug" is intentional for optimization purposes.

These staging driver issues are caused by stacktool getting confused by
gcc optimizations related to noreturn functions.  I have it on the TODO
list to make the noreturn function detection more intelligent.

These are all the same "call ___preempt_schedule" issue from above.
I'll need to look into it to figure out if it's a real bug or if it's a
"feature" we should ignore.

The purpose there is that:

	preempt_enable();

turns into:

	decl	__percpu_prefix:__preempt_count
	jnz	1f:
	call	___preempt_schedule
1:

Sorry, s/preempt_enable/preempt_schedule/ on that last sentence.

Sorry, I'm kind of confused.  Do you mean that's what preempt_enable()
would turn into *without* the above define?

What I actually see in the listing is:

 	decl	__percpu_prefix:__preempt_count
 	je	1f:
	....
 1:
 	call	___preempt_schedule

So it puts the "call ___preempt_schedule" in the slow path.

I also don't see how that would be related to the use of the asm
statement in the __preempt_schedule() macro.  Doesn't the use of
unlikely() in preempt_enable() put the call in the slow path?

  #define preempt_enable() \
  do { \
	  barrier(); \
	  if (unlikely(preempt_count_dec_and_test())) \
		  preempt_schedule(); \
  } while (0)

Also, why is the thunk needed?  Any reason why preempt_enable() can't be
called directly from C?

Ah yes indeed. Same difference though.

Sadly no, unlikely() and asm_goto don't work well together. But the slow
path or not isn't the reason we do the asm call thing.

That would make the call-site save registers and increase the size of
every preempt_enable(). By using the thunk we can do callee saved
registers and avoid blowing up the call site.

So is the goal to optimize for size?  If I replace the calls to
__preempt_schedule[_notrace]() with real C calls and remove the thunks,
it only adds about 2k to vmlinux.

There are two ways to fix the warnings:

1. get rid of the thunks and call the C functions directly; or

2. add the stack pointer to the asm() statement output operand list to
ensure a stack frame gets created in the caller function before the
call.  (Note this still allows the thunks to do callee saved registers.)

I like #1 better, but maybe I'm still missing the point of the thunks.

General performance impact of preempt_enable().

That's less than I had expected, but probably still worth it.

And is that added text purely in the slow path? We really want to avoid
putting any more register pressure on the preempt_enable() call sites.
The single memop and Jcc is about as fast we can get and we spend quite
a bit of effort getting there.

It does already for static functions in 5.x (with -fipa-ra).
And with LTO it can be used even somewhat globally.

Even older version supported it, for only for x86->SSE on 32bit, which
is useless for the kernel. But the new IPA-RA propagates which registers
are clobbered.

That said it will probably be a long time until we can drop support for
older compilers.  So for now the manual method is still needed.

Oddly, this change (see patch below) actually seems to make things
faster in a lot of cases.  For many smaller functions it causes the
stack frame creation to get moved out of the common path and into the
unlikely path.

For example, here's the original cyc2ns_read_end():

  ffffffff8101f8c0 <cyc2ns_read_end>:
  ffffffff8101f8c0:	55                   	push   %rbp

  ffffffff8101f8dd:	e8 1e 37 fe ff       	callq  ffffffff81003000 <___preempt_schedule>

  ffffffff8101f8eb:	00 00 00 00 00 

And here's the same function with the patch:

  ffffffff8101f8c0 <cyc2ns_read_end>:
  ffffffff8101f8c0:	83 6f 10 01          	subl   $0x1,0x10(%rdi)

  ffffffff8101f8ea:	84 00 00 00 00 00 

Notice that it moved the frame pointer setup code to the unlikely
___preempt_schedule() call path.  Going through a sampling of the
differences in the asm, that's the most common change I see.

Otherwise it has no real effect on callers which already have stack
frames (though it does change the ordering of some 'mov's).

And it has the intended effect of fixing the following warnings by
ensuring these call sites have stack frames:

  stacktool: drivers/scsi/hpsa.o: hpsa_scsi_do_simple_cmd.constprop.106()+0x79: call without frame pointer save/setup
  stacktool: fs/mbcache.o: mb_cache_entry_find_first()+0x70: call without frame pointer save/setup
  stacktool: fs/mbcache.o: mb_cache_entry_find_first()+0x92: call without frame pointer save/setup
  stacktool: fs/mbcache.o: mb_cache_entry_free()+0xff: call without frame pointer save/setup
  stacktool: fs/mbcache.o: mb_cache_entry_free()+0xf5: call without frame pointer save/setup
  stacktool: fs/mbcache.o: mb_cache_entry_free()+0x11a: call without frame pointer save/setup
  stacktool: fs/mbcache.o: mb_cache_entry_get()+0x225: call without frame pointer save/setup
  stacktool: kernel/locking/percpu-rwsem.o: percpu_up_read()+0x27: call without frame pointer save/setup
  stacktool: kernel/profile.o: do_profile_hits.isra.5()+0x139: call without frame pointer save/setup
  stacktool: lib/nmi_backtrace.o: nmi_trigger_all_cpu_backtrace()+0x2b6: call without frame pointer save/setup
  stacktool: net/rds/ib_cm.o: rds_ib_cq_comp_handler_recv()+0x58: call without frame pointer save/setup
  stacktool: net/rds/ib_cm.o: rds_ib_cq_comp_handler_send()+0x58: call without frame pointer save/setup
  stacktool: net/rds/ib_recv.o: rds_ib_attempt_ack()+0xc1: call without frame pointer save/setup
  stacktool: net/rds/iw_recv.o: rds_iw_attempt_ack()+0xc1: call without frame pointer save/setup
  stacktool: net/rds/iw_recv.o: rds_iw_recv_cq_comp_handler()+0x55: call without frame pointer save/setup

So that only adds a stack frame to 15 call sites out of ~5000 calls to
___preempt_schedule[_notrace].  All the others already had stack frames.

Any idea for a good benchmark to run with the patch?

I think that would be problematic for our goal of making stack traces of
sleeping tasks reliable.  If preempt_enable()'s caller doesn't first
create a stack frame, the caller of the caller will get skipped in the
stack trace.

#1337586 — [PATCH] sched/x86: Add stack frame dependency to __preempt_schedule[_notrace]

FromJosh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@redhat.com>

Subject[PATCH] sched/x86: Add stack frame dependency to __preempt_schedule[_notrace]
Message-ID<r3ASf-CA-25@gated-at.bofh.it>
In reply to#1334784
If __preempt_schedule() or __preempt_schedule_notrace() is referenced at
the beginning of a function, gcc can insert the asm inline "call
___preempt_schedule[_notrace]" instruction before setting up a stack
frame, which breaks frame pointer convention if CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is
enabled and can result in bad stack traces.

Force a stack frame to be created if CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is enabled by
listing the stack pointer as an output operand for the inline asm
statements.

Specifically this fixes the following stacktool warnings:

  stacktool: drivers/scsi/hpsa.o: hpsa_scsi_do_simple_cmd.constprop.106()+0x79: call without frame pointer save/setup
  stacktool: fs/mbcache.o: mb_cache_entry_find_first()+0x70: call without frame pointer save/setup
  stacktool: fs/mbcache.o: mb_cache_entry_find_first()+0x92: call without frame pointer save/setup

  stacktool: fs/mbcache.o: mb_cache_entry_free()+0xf5: call without frame pointer save/setup
  stacktool: fs/mbcache.o: mb_cache_entry_free()+0x11a: call without frame pointer save/setup

  stacktool: kernel/locking/percpu-rwsem.o: percpu_up_read()+0x27: call without frame pointer save/setup
  stacktool: kernel/profile.o: do_profile_hits.isra.5()+0x139: call without frame pointer save/setup
  stacktool: lib/nmi_backtrace.o: nmi_trigger_all_cpu_backtrace()+0x2b6: call without frame pointer save/setup
  stacktool: net/rds/ib_cm.o: rds_ib_cq_comp_handler_recv()+0x58: call without frame pointer save/setup
  stacktool: net/rds/ib_cm.o: rds_ib_cq_comp_handler_send()+0x58: call without frame pointer save/setup
  stacktool: net/rds/ib_recv.o: rds_ib_attempt_ack()+0xc1: call without frame pointer save/setup
  stacktool: net/rds/iw_recv.o: rds_iw_attempt_ack()+0xc1: call without frame pointer save/setup
  stacktool: net/rds/iw_recv.o: rds_iw_recv_cq_comp_handler()+0x55: call without frame pointer save/setup

This patch and adding lbug_with_loc to global_noreturns makes all
stacktool warnings go away here.
