There's no field for the cgroup, let's add one. To do that, users need to specify --all-cgroup option for perf record to capture the cgroup info. $ perf record --all-cgroups -- true $ perf script -F comm,pid,cgroup true 337112 /user.slice/user-657345.slice/user@657345.service/... true 337112 /user.slice/user-657345.slice/user@657345.service/... true 337112 /user.slice/user-657345.slice/user@657345.service/... true 337112 /user.slice/user-657345.slice/user@657345.service/... If it's recorded without the --all-cgroups, it'd complain. $ perf script -F comm,pid,cgroup Samples for 'cycles:u' event do not have CGROUP attribute set. Cannot print 'cgroup' field. Hint: run 'perf record --all-cgroups ...'

The canonical location for the tracefs filesystem is at /sys/kernel/tracing. But, from Documentation/trace/ftrace.rst: Before 4.1, all ftrace tracing control files were within the debugfs file system, which is typically located at /sys/kernel/debug/tracing. For backward compatibility, when mounting the debugfs file system, the tracefs file system will be automatically mounted at: /sys/kernel/debug/tracing A few spots in the perf docs still refer to this older debugfs path, so let's update them to avoid confusion.

Unknown address packet indexes are not an error as the Arm architecture can (and has with SPEv1.2) define new ones and implementation defined ones are also allowed. The error message for every occurrence of the packet is needlessly noisy as well. Change the message to print just once for each unknown index. Reviewed-by:

This problem was encountered on an arm64 system with a lot of memory. Without kernel debug symbols installed, and with both kcore and kallsyms available, perf managed to get confused and returned "unknown" for all of the kernel symbols that it tried to look up. On this system, stext fell within the vmalloc segment. The kcore symbol matching code tries to find the first segment that contains stext and uses that to replace the segment generated from just the kallsyms information. In this case, however, there were two: a very large vmalloc segment, and the text segment. This caused perf to get confused because multiple overlapping segments were inserted into the RB tree that holds the discovered segments. However, that alone wasn't sufficient to cause the problem. Even when we could find the segment, the offsets were adjusted in such a way that the newly generated symbols didn't line up with the instruction addresses in the trace. The most obvious solution would be to consult which segment type is text from kcore, but this information is not exposed to users. Instead, select the smallest matching segment that contains stext instead of the first matching segment. This allows us to match the text segment instead of vmalloc, if one is contained within the other. Reviewed-by:

While parsing the tracepoint events in parse_events_add_tracepoint() function, code checks for HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT support. This is needed since libtraceevent is necessary for tracepoint. But while adding probe points, check for LIBTRACEEVENT is not done in case of perf probe. Hence, in environment with missing libtraceevent-devel, it is observed that adding a probe point shows below message though it can't be used via perf record. Example: Adding probe point: ./perf probe 'vfs_getname=getname_flags:72 pathname=result->name:string' Added new event: probe:vfs_getname (on getname_flags:72 with pathname=result->name:string) You can now use it in all perf tools, such as: perf record -e probe:vfs_getname -aR sleep 1 But trying perf record: ./perf record -e probe:vfs_getname -aR sleep 1 event syntax error: 'probe:vfs_getname' \___ unsupported tracepoint libtraceevent is necessary for tracepoint support Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events The builtin tool like perf record needs libtraceevent to parse tracefs. But still the probe can be used by enabling via tracefs. Patch fixes the probe usage message to the user based on presence of libtraceevent. With the fix, # ./perf probe 'pmu:myprobe=schedule' Added new event: pmu:myprobe (on schedule) perf is not linked with libtraceevent, to use the new probe you can use tracefs: cd /sys/kernel/tracing/ echo 1 > events/pmu/myprobe/enable echo 1 > tracing_on cat trace_pipe Before removing the probe, echo 0 > events/pmu/myprobe/enable Signed-off-by:

For x86_64, determine a symbol for .plt.got entries. That requires computing the target offset and finding that in .rela.dyn, which in turn means .rela.dyn needs to be sorted by offset.

For x86, .plt.got is used, for example, when the address is taken of a dynamically linked function. Start adding support by synthesizing a symbol for each entry. A subsequent patch will attempt to get a better name for the symbol.

For x86, with the addition of IFUNCs, relocation information becomes disordered with respect to plt. Correct that by sorting the relocations by offset.

The section .plt.sec was originally added for MPX and was first called .plt.bnd. While MPX has been deprecated, .plt.sec is now also used for IBT. On x86_64, IBT may be enabled by default, but can be switched off using gcc option -fcf-protection=none, or switched on by -z ibt or -z ibtplt. On 32-bit, option -z ibt or -z ibtplt will enable IBT. With .plt.sec, calls are made into .plt.sec instead of .plt, so it makes more sense to put the symbols there instead of .plt. A notable difference is that .plt.sec does not have a header entry. For x86, when synthesizing symbols for plt, use offset and entry size of .plt.sec instead of .plt when there is a .plt.sec section.

In 32-bit executables the .plt entry size can be set to 4 when it is really 16. In fact the only sizes used for x86 (32 or 64 bit) are 8 or 16, so check for those and, if not, use the alignment to choose which it is.

build_id__init() only copies the buildid data up to size leaving the rest of the data array uninitialized. Copying the full array during synthesis means the written event contains uninitialized memory. Ensure the size is less that the buffer size and only copy the bytes that were initialized. This was detected by the Clang/LLVM memory sanitizer. v2. Avoids the potential for copying too much as suggested by Arnaldo. Suggested-by:

Make the sink error message more similar to the event error message that reminds about missing kernel support. The available sinks are also determined by the hardware so mention that too. Also, usually it's not necessary to specify the sink, so add that as a hint. Now the error for a made up sink looks like this: $ perf record -e cs_etm/@abc/ Couldn't find sink "abc" on event cs_etm/@abc/. Missing kernel or device support? Hint: An appropriate sink will be picked automatically if one isn't is specified. For any error other than ENOENT, the same message as before is displayed. Signed-off-by:

The statement above about the result being incorrect looks weird, and it is due to that particular perf build missing commit 3e11300c ("perf test: Fix bpf test sample mismatch reporting"). In reality, due to commit 4b04e0de ("perf test: Fix basic bpf filtering test"), perf expects there to be 56*3 samples. However, the number of samples we receive is going to be dependent on where the probes are installed, which is dependent on where do_epoll_wait gets inlined. On s390x, it looks like probes at all the inlined locations are hit. But, that is not the case on ppc64le. Fix this by switching the test to instead use the syscall tracepoint. This ensures that we will only ever install a single event enabling us to reliably determine the sample count. Reported-by:

There are some edge cases around estimated timestamps that can result in them going backwards. One is that after a discontinuity, the last used timestamp is set to 0. The duration of the next range is then subtracted which could result in an earlier timestamp than the last instruction. Fix this by not resetting the last timestamp used on a discontinuity, and make sure that new estimated timestamps are clamped to be later than that. Another case is that estimated timestamps could compound over time to end up being more than the next real timestamp in the trace. Fix this by clamping the estimates in cs_etm_decoder__do_soft_timestamp() to be no later than it. cs_etm_decoder__do_soft_timestamp() also updated next_cs_timestamp, which meant that the next real timestamp was lost and not stored anywhere. Fix that by only updating cs_timestamp for estimates and keep next_cs_timestamp untouched. Finally, use next_cs_timestamp to signify if a timestamp has been received previously. Because cs_timestamp has the first range subtracted, it could technically go to 0 which would break the logic. Testing ======= It can be verified that timestamps don't go backwards when tracing on a single core with the following commands. Across multiple cores it's expected that timestamps are interleaved: $ perf record -e cs_etm/@tmc_etr0/k -C 4 taskset -c 4 sleep 1 $ perf script --itrace=i1ns --ns -Fcomm,tid,pid,time,cpu,event,ip,sym,addr,symoff,flags,callindent > itrace $ sed 's/://g' itrace | awk -F ' ' ' { print $4 } ' | awk '{ if ($1 < prev) { print "line:" NR " " $0 } {prev=$1}}' Reported-by:Tanmay Jagdale <tanmay@marvell.com> Signed-off-by:

Read the value of ts_source exposed by the driver and store it in the ETMv4 and ETE header. If the interface doesn't exist (such as in older Kernels), defaults to a safe value of -1. Signed-off-by:

Previously, adding a new parameter at the end of ETMv4 meant adding it somewhere in the middle of ETE, which is not supported by the current header version. Reviewed-by:

Remove some code that duplicates existing methods. Copy strings where const strings are required. No functional changes. Committer notes: Add a stub for erf_pmu__scan_file() in tools/perf/util/python.c not to drag tools/perf/util/pmu.c into the python binding. This fixes 'perf test python' at this point in this patchset. Reviewed-by:

James Clark authored
The pattern for accessing EVENT_SOURCE_DEVICE_PATH is duplicated in a few places, so add two utility functions to cover it. Also just use perf_pmu__scan_file() instead of pmu_type() which already does the same thing. No functional changes. Reviewed-by:
