      perf ctf: Convert invalid chars in a string before set value · 5ea5888b
      Wang Nan authored 
      We observed some crazy apps on Android set their comm to unprintable
string. For example:

  # cat /proc/10607/task/*/comm
  tencent.qqmusic
  ...
  Binder_2
  日志输出线  <-- Chinese word 'log output thread'
  WifiManager
  ...

'perf data convert' fails to convert perf.data with such string to CTF format.

For example:

  # cat << EOF > ./badguy.c
  #include <sys/prctl.h>
  int main(int argc, char *argv[])
  {
         prctl(PR_SET_NAME, "\xe6\x97\xa5\xe5\xbf\x97\xe8\xbe\x93\xe5\x87\xba\xe7\xba\xbf");
         while(1)
                 sleep(1);
         return 0;
  }
  EOF
  # gcc ./badguy.c
  # perf record -e sched:* ./a.out
  # perf data convert --to-ctf ./bad.ctf
  CTF stream 4 flush failed
  [ perf data convert: Converted 'perf.data' into CTF data './bad.ctf' ]
  [ perf data convert: Converted and wrote 0.008 MB (78 samples)  ]
  # babeltrace ./bad.ctf/

This patch converts unprintable characters to hexadecimal word.

After applying this patch the above test works correctly:

  # ~/perf data convert --to-ctf ./good.ctf
  [ perf data convert: Converted 'perf.data' into CTF data './good.ctf' ]
  [ perf data convert: Converted and wrote 0.008 MB (78 samples) ]
  # babeltrace ./good.ctf

Committer note:

To build perf with libabeltrace, use:

  $ mkdir -p /tmp/build/perf
  $ make LIBBABELTRACE=1 LIBBABELTRACE_DIR=/usr/local O=/tmp/build/perf -C tools/perf install-bin

Or equivalent (no O=, fixup LIBBABELTRACE_DIR, etc).

      perf record: Fix crash when kptr is restricted · 3dc6c1d5
      Wang Nan authored 
      Before this patch, a simple 'perf record' could fail if kptr_restrict is
set to 1 (for normal user) or 2 (for root):

  # perf record ls
  WARNING: Kernel address maps (/proc/{kallsyms,modules}) are restricted,
  check /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict.

  Samples in kernel functions may not be resolved if a suitable vmlinux
  file is not found in the buildid cache or in the vmlinux path.

  Samples in kernel modules won't be resolved at all.

  If some relocation was applied (e.g. kexec) symbols may be misresolved
  even with a suitable vmlinux or kallsyms file.

  Segmentation fault (core dumped)

This patch skips perf_event__synthesize_kernel_mmap() when kptr is not
available.

      perf symbols: Check kptr_restrict for root · 38272dc4
      Wang Nan authored 
      If kptr_restrict is set to 2, even root is not allowed to see pointers.
This patch checks kptr_restrict even if euid == 0. For root, report

      Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo-20160523' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/urgent

Pull perf/core improvements from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

User visible changes:

- Add "srcline_from" and "srcline_to" branch sort keys to 'perf top' and
  'perf report' (Andi Kleen)

Infrastructure changes:

- Make 'perf trace' auto-attach fd->name and ptr->name beautifiers based
  on the name of syscall arguments, this way new syscalls that have
  'const char * (path,pathname,filename)' will use the fd->name beautifier
  (vfs_getname perf probe, if in place) and the 'fd->name' (vfs_getname
  or via /proc/PID/fd/) (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Infrastructure to read from a ring buffer in backward write mode (Wang Nan)
