Change uprobe_trace_print() and uprobe_perf_print() to check is_ret_probe() and fill ring_buffer_event accordingly. Also change uprobe_trace_func() and uprobe_perf_func() to not _print() if is_ret_probe() is true. Note that we keep ->handler() nontrivial even for uretprobe, we need this for filtering and for other potential extensions. Signed-off-by:

Create the new functions we need to support uretprobes, and change alloc_trace_uprobe() to initialize consumer.ret_handler if the new "is_ret" argument is true. Curently this argument is always false, so the new code is never called and is_ret_probe(tu) is false too. Signed-off-by:

Extract the output code from uprobe_trace_func() and uprobe_perf_func() into the new helpers, they will be used by ->ret_handler() too. We also add the unused "unsigned long func" argument in advance, to simplify the next changes. Signed-off-by:

struct uprobe_trace_entry_head has a single member for reporting, "unsigned long ip". If we want to support uretprobes we need to create another struct which has "func" and "ret_ip" and duplicate a lot of functions, like trace_kprobe.c does. To avoid this copy-and-paste horror we turn ->ip into ->vaddr[] and add couple of trivial helpers to calculate sizeof/data. This uglifies the code a bit, but this allows us to avoid a lot more complications later, when we add the support for ret-probes. Signed-off-by:

Enclose return probes implementation. Signed-off-by:
-
Anton Arapov authored
Unlike the kretprobes we can't trust userspace, thus must have protection from user space attacks. User-space have "unlimited" stack, and this patch limits the return probes nestedness as a simple remedy for it. Note that this implementation leaks return_instance on siglongjmp until exit()/exec(). The intention is to have KISS and bare minimum solution for the initial implementation in order to not complicate the uretprobes code. In the future we may come up with more sophisticated solution that remove this depth limitation. It is not easy task and lays beyond this patchset. Signed-off-by:

Uretprobe handlers are invoked when the trampoline is hit, on completion the trampoline is replaced with the saved return address and the uretprobe instance deleted. TODO: handle_trampoline() assumes that ->return_instances is always valid. We should teach it to handle longjmp() which can invalidate the pending return_instance's. This is nontrivial, we will try to do this in a separate series. Signed-off-by:

When a uprobe with return probe consumer is hit, prepare_uretprobe() function is invoked. It creates return_instance, hijacks return address and replaces it with the trampoline. * Return instances are kept as stack per uprobed task. * Return instance is chained, when the original return address is trampoline's page vaddr (e.g. recursive call of the probed function).

Allocate trampoline page, as the very first one in uprobed task xol area, and fill it with breakpoint opcode. Also introduce get_trampoline_vaddr() helper, to wrap the trampoline address extraction from area->vaddr. That removes confusion and eases the debug experience in case ->vaddr notion will be changed.

prepare_uprobe() already checks if the underlying unstruction (on file) is a trap variant. We don't need to check this again. Signed-off-by:
-
Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli authored
Powerpc has many trap variants that could be used by entities like gdb. Currently, running gdb on a program being traced by uprobes causes an endless loop since uprobes doesn't understand that the trap was inserted by some other entity and a SIGTRAP needs to be delivered. Teach uprobes to ignore breakpoints that do not belong to it. Signed-off-by:
-
Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli authored
Some architectures like powerpc have multiple variants of the trap instruction. Introduce an additional helper is_trap_insn() for run-time handling of non-uprobe traps on such architectures. While there, change is_swbp_at_addr() to is_trap_at_addr() for reading clarity. With this change, the uprobe registration path will supercede any trap instruction inserted at the requested location, while taking care of delivering the SIGTRAP for cases where the trap notification came in for an address without a uprobe. See [1] for a more detailed explanation. [1] https://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2013-March/104771.html This change was suggested by Oleg Nesterov. Signed-off-by:

Cleanup. Now that we have f_inode/file_inode() we can use it instead of vm_file->f_mapping->host. This should not make any difference for uprobes, but in theory this change is more correct. We use this inode as a key, to compare it with uprobe->inode set by uprobe_register(inode), and the caller uses d_inode. Signed-off-by:

Now that the map browser shares the input routine with the hists browser, there is no need for using any libnewt routine, so remove all traces except for honouring NO_NEWT=1 on the makefile command line as an indication that TUI support is not needed, in fact it just sets NO_SLANG=1.

Aborted (core dumped) [root@sandy linux]# Further investigation is needed to check that even with machine__remove_thread() not really deleting the thread referenced in the PERF_RECORD_EXIT (it goes to machine->dead_threads, because references may still exist to them in things like hist, etc) some event later comes for this dead thread and then machine__findnew_thread() will create a new thead instance that will not be the same as the one referenced by work_atoms->thread in thread_atoms_search().

This patch adds the sorting and histogram support functions to enable profiling of memory accesses. The following sorting orders are added: - symbol_daddr: data address symbol (or raw address) - dso_daddr: data address shared object - locked: access uses locked transaction - tlb : TLB access - mem : memory level of the access (L1, L2, L3, RAM, ...) - snoop: access snoop mode Signed-off-by:

perf record has a new option -W that enables weightened sampling. Add sorting support in top/report for the average weight per sample and the total weight sum. This allows to both compare relative cost per event and the total cost over the measurement period. Add the necessary glue to perf report, record and the library. v2: Merge with new hist refactoring. v3: Fix manpage. Remove value check. Rename global_weight to weight and weight to local_weight. v4: Readd sort keys to manpage v5: Move weight to end v6: Move weight to template v7: Rename weight key. Original patch from Andi modified by Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> to include ONLY the weight supporting code and apply to pristine 3.8.0-rc4. Signed-off-by:

Type of mapping was lost and made it hard for a tool to distinguish code vs. data mmaps. Perf has the ability to distinguish the two. Use a bit in the header->misc bitmask to keep track of the mmap type. If PERF_RECORD_MISC_MMAP_DATA is set then the mapping is not executable (!VM_EXEC). If not set, then the mapping is executable.
