      perf symbols: Accept zero as the kernel base address · 4b1303d0
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      Which is the case in S/390, where symbols were not being resolved
      because machine__get_kernel_start was only setting machine->kernel_start
      when the just successfully loaded kernel symtab had its map->start set
      to !0, when it was left at (1ULL << 63) assuming a partitioning of the
      address space for user/kernel, which is not the case in S/390 nor in
      Sparc.
      
      So just check if map__load() was successfull and set
      machine->kernel_start to zero, fixing kernel symbol resolution on S/390.

        I like this patch. I have done a new build and removed all my debug output to start
        from scratch. Without your patch I get this:

      perf unwind: Do not fail due to missing unwind support · 1934adf7
      Jiri Olsa authored
      We currently fail the MMAP event processing if we don't have the MMAP
      event's specific arch unwind support compiled in.
      
      That's wrong and can lead to unresolved mmaps in report output for 32bit
      binaries on 64bit server, like in this example on x86_64 server:
      
        $ cat ex.c
        int main(int argc, char **argv)
        {
                while (1) {}
        }
        $ gcc -o ex -m32 ex.c
        $ perf record ./ex
        ^C[ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ]
        [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.371 MB perf.data (9322 samples) ]
      
      Before:
        $ perf report --stdio
      
        SNIP
      
        # Overhead  Command  Shared Object     Symbol
        # ........  .......  ................  ......................
        #
           100.00%  ex       [unknown]         [.] 0x00000000080483de
             0.00%  ex       [unknown]         [.] 0x00000000f76dba4f
             0.00%  ex       [unknown]         [.] 0x00000000f76e4c11
             0.00%  ex       [unknown]         [.] 0x00000000f76daa30
      
      After:
        $ perf report --stdio
      
        SNIP
      
        # Overhead  Command  Shared Object  Symbol
        # ........  .......  .............  ...............
        #
           100.00%  ex       ex             [.] main
             0.00%  ex       ld-2.24.so     [.] _dl_start
             0.00%  ex       ld-2.24.so     [.] do_lookup_x
             0.00%  ex       ld-2.24.so     [.] _start
      
      The fix is not to fail, just warn if there's not unwind support compiled
      in.

      perf evsel: Set attr.exclude_kernel when probing max attr.precise_ip · 97365e81
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      We should set attr.exclude_kernel when probing for attr.precise_ip
      level, otherwise !CAP_SYS_ADMIN users will not default to skidless
      samples in capable hardware.
      
      The increase in the paranoid level in commit 0161028b ("perf/core:
      Change the default paranoia level to 2") broke this, fix it by excluding
      kernel samples when probing.
      
      Before:
      
        $ perf record usleep 1
        [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
        [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.018 MB perf.data (6 samples) ]
        $ perf evlist -v
        cycles:u: sample_freq: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|PERIOD, exclude_kernel: 1
      
      After:
      
        $ perf record usleep 1
        [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
        [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.018 MB perf.data (8 samples) ]
        $ perf evlist -v
        cycles:ppp: sample_freq: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|PERIOD, exclude_kernel: 1, precise_ip: 3
                                                                                           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
                                                                                           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
                                                                                           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
        $
      
      To further clarify: we always set .exclude_kernel when non !CAP_SYS_ADMIN
      users profile, its just on the attr.precise_ip probing that we weren't doing
      so, fix it.
