[PATCH 0/5] Enable some configs in loongson3_defconfig
Posted by Tiezhu Yang 9 months, 2 weeks ago
This is a small patchset based on 6.15-rc4, each patch is a
single logical change to better describe the problem and make
it easier to review.

If the changes make sense, all of them can be squashed into one
single patch, I think that would be fine as well, let us see if
other people have concern about it.

By the way, I received many compile-time error reports about tools,
most are related with configs, this is the motivation of this series.

Additionally, I also received one run-time bug report about uprobe,
but it works fine on my test environment. If somebody can reproduce
it, please let me know, maybe I am missing something.

1. How to reproduce

(1) Compile and install Tongsuo

git clone https://github.com/Tongsuo-Project/Tongsuo.git
cd Tongsuo && ./config --prefix=/opt/tongsuo -Wl,-rpath,/opt/tongsuo/lib
make && sudo make install

https://www.tongsuo.net/docs/compilation/source-compilation

(2) Compile and update kernel

Apply this series based on 6.15-rc4, then use the loongson3_defconfig,
CONFIG_UPROBE_EVENTS is already set.

(3) Probe "openssl speed sm2"

cd tools/perf && make
sudo ./perf probe -x /usr/lib64/libcrypto.so BN_mod_mul_montgomery
sudo ./perf stat -e probe_libcrypto:BN_mod_mul_montgomery /opt/tongsuo/bin/openssl speed sm2

2. My test results

fedora@linux:~/uprobe.git/tools/perf$ sudo ./perf probe -x /usr/lib64/libcrypto.so BN_mod_mul_montgomery
Added new event:
  probe_libcrypto:BN_mod_mul_montgomery (on BN_mod_mul_montgomery in /usr/lib64/libcrypto.so.3.2.2)

You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

	perf record -e probe_libcrypto:BN_mod_mul_montgomery -aR sleep 1

fedora@linux:~/uprobe.git/tools/perf$ sudo ./perf stat -e probe_libcrypto:BN_mod_mul_montgomery /opt/tongsuo/bin/openssl speed sm2
Doing 256 bits sign CurveSM2's for 10s: 7463 256 bits CurveSM2 signs in 10.00s 
Doing 256 bits verify CurveSM2's for 10s: 9681 256 bits CurveSM2 verify in 9.98s
...
                              sign    verify    sign/s verify/s
 256 bits SM2 (CurveSM2)   0.0013s   0.0010s    746.3    970.0

 Performance counter stats for '/opt/tongsuo/bin/openssl speed sm2':

                 0      probe_libcrypto:BN_mod_mul_montgomery                                      

      20.007539877 seconds time elapsed

      19.990010000 seconds user
       0.000000000 seconds sys

Hi, Tiezhu,

When I enable these options:
CONFIG_FTRACE=y
CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER=y
CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER=y
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE=y
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS=y
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_DIRECT_CALLS=y
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS=y
CONFIG_KPROBES=y
CONFIG_UPROBES=y
CONFIG_KPROBE_EVENTS=y
CONFIG_UPROBE_EVENTS=y

Then your above commands will hang (or get a SIGTRAP), which options I
am missing?

I haven't tried your patches, maybe it works, but I want to know the
exactly needed options.

Have you investigated this? I have tried your patchset, but still get
a SIGTRAP or system hang.

I think I know why your tests "success":

sudo ./perf probe -x /usr/lib64/libcrypto.so BN_mod_mul_montgomery
sudo ./perf stat -e probe_libcrypto:BN_mod_mul_montgomery
/opt/tongsuo/bin/openssl speed sm2

In the first step you probe the OpenSSL library, and in the second
step you are running "Tongsuo".

Have you tried (both OpenSSL)

sudo ./perf probe -x /usr/lib64/libcrypto.so BN_mod_mul_montgomery
sudo ./perf stat -e probe_libcrypto:BN_mod_mul_montgomery openssl speed sm2

or (both Tongsuo)

sudo ./perf probe -x /opt/tongsuo/lib/libcrypto.so BN_mod_mul_montgomery
sudo ./perf stat -e probe_libcrypto:BN_mod_mul_montgomery
/opt/tongsuo/bin/openssl speed sm2

and still success?

I tried, and both got a SIGTRAP or system hang.

I can reproduce it now and have a draft patch to fix it.

I am busy with some emergency stuff recently and will send
the formal patch as soon as I have some free time to make
a proper commit message.

I recommend putting all the config changes in one patch so it is
easier to review change and test, I have to look through each patch to
see what config changed.

This series is probably a RFC and I will not apply.
1) The motivation of this series is to solve an uprobes hang issue,
but as I mentioned above I still don't know why it hangs. Maybe due to
config options but I'm not sure.
2) Don't mix the kernel defconfig and distribution config. A
distribution config tries to enable as many features as possible, and
different distributions have different preferences. The kernel
defconfig is probably a bootable config, plus some widely used
features. Take x86 as an example, it doesn't even enable NUMA
Balancing, THP and BPF which are already widely used in morden
systems, let alone a large set of tracers.
3) About the cleanup, as I explained before (but not in this thread),
though CONFIG_LOONGARCH, CONFIG_64BIT, CONFIG_MACH_LOONGSON64,
CONFIG_PAGE_SIZE_16KB=y, CONFIG_HZ_250=y, CONFIG_DMI=y, CONFIG_EFI=y,
CONFIG_SMP=y, CONFIG_ACPI=y and some other similar options are
implicitly selected so they will disappear during "make
savedefconfig". I still want to keep them in the defconfig, just
because I hope we can easily know what is fundamentally needed by
LoongArch via reading the defconfig file.
