perf(1) ======= NAME ---- perf - Performance analysis tools for Linux SYNOPSIS -------- [verse] 'perf' [--version] [--help] [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS] OPTIONS ------- --debug:: Setup debug variable (see list below) in value range (0, 10). Use like: --debug verbose # sets verbose = 1 --debug verbose=2 # sets verbose = 2 List of debug variables allowed to set: verbose - general debug messages ordered-events - ordered events object debug messages data-convert - data convert command debug messages --buildid-dir:: Setup buildid cache directory. It has higher priority than buildid.dir config file option. -v:: --version:: Display perf version. -h:: --help:: Run perf help command. DESCRIPTION ----------- Performance counters for Linux are a new kernel-based subsystem that provide a framework for all things performance analysis. It covers hardware level (CPU/PMU, Performance Monitoring Unit) features and software features (software counters, tracepoints) as well.

drm/i915: Check for NULL i915_vma in intel_unpin_fb_obj()
I've seen this trigger twice now, where the i915_gem_object_to_ggtt() call in intel_unpin_fb_obj() returns NULL, resulting in an oops immediately afterwards as the (inlined) call to i915_vma_unpin_fence() tries to dereference it. It seems to be some race condition where the object is going away at shutdown time, since both times happened when shutting down the X server. The call chains were different: - VT ioctl(KDSETMODE, KD_TEXT): intel_cleanup_plane_fb+0x5b/0xa0 [i915] drm_atomic_helper_cleanup_planes+0x6f/0x90 [drm_kms_helper] intel_atomic_commit_tail+0x749/0xfe0 [i915] intel_atomic_commit+0x3cb/0x4f0 [i915] drm_atomic_commit+0x4b/0x50 [drm] restore_fbdev_mode+0x14c/0x2a0 [drm_kms_helper] drm_fb_helper_restore_fbdev_mode_unlocked+0x34/0x80 [drm_kms_helper] drm_fb_helper_set_par+0x2d/0x60 [drm_kms_helper] intel_fbdev_set_par+0x18/0x70 [i915] fb_set_var+0x236/0x460 fbcon_blank+0x30f/0x350 do_unblank_screen+0xd2/0x1a0 vt_ioctl+0x507/0x12a0 tty_ioctl+0x355/0xc30 do_vfs_ioctl+0xa3/0x5e0 SyS_ioctl+0x79/0x90 entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x13/0x94 - i915 unpin_work workqueue: intel_unpin_work_fn+0x58/0x140 [i915] process_one_work+0x1f1/0x480 worker_thread+0x48/0x4d0 kthread+0x101/0x140 and this patch purely papers over the issue by adding a NULL pointer check and a WARN_ON_ONCE() to avoid the oops that would then generally make the machine unresponsive. Other callers of i915_gem_object_to_ggtt() seem to also check for the returned pointer being NULL and warn about it, so this clearly has happened before in other places. [ Reported it originally to the i915 developers on Jan 8, applying the ugly workaround on my own now after triggering the problem for the second time with no feedback. This is likely to be the same bug reported as https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=98829 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99134 which has a patch for the underlying problem, but it hasn't gotten to me, so I'm applying the workaround. ] Cc: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@intel.com> Cc: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@linux.intel.com> Cc: Ville Syrjälä <ville.syrjala@linux.intel.com> Cc: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Cc: Maarten Lankhorst <maarten.lankhorst@linux.intel.com> Cc: Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin@intel.com> Cc: Imre Deak <imre.deak@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
