This patch removes the "const" qualifier from kvm_events_tp declaration to account for the fact that some architectures may need to update this variable dynamically. For instance, powerpc will need to update this variable dynamically depending on the machine type. Signed-off-by:

Its better to remove the dependency on uapi/kvm_perf.h to allow dynamic discovery of kvm events (if its needed). To do this, some extern variables have been introduced with which we can keep the generic functions generic. Signed-off-by:

Will Deacon [1] has some question on patch [2]. This patch improves test__bp_signal so we can test: 1. A watchpoint and a breakpoint that fire on the same instruction 2. Nested signals Test result: On x86_64 and ARM64 (result are similar with patch [2] on ARM64): # ./perf test -v signal 17: Test breakpoint overflow signal handler : --- start --- test child forked, pid 10213 count1 1, count2 3, count3 2, overflow 3, overflows_2 3 test child finished with 0 ---- end ---- Test breakpoint overflow signal handler: Ok So at least 2 cases Will doubted are handled correctly.

Copying perf to old kernel system results: # perf test bpf 37: Test BPF filter : 37.1: Test basic BPF filtering : FAILED! 37.2: Test BPF prologue generation : Skip However, in case when kernel doesn't support a test case it should return 'Skip', 'FAILED!' should be reserved for kernel tests for when the kernel supports a feature that then fails to work as advertised. This patch checks environment before real testcase. Signed-off-by:

There is a nasty confusion that, for kernel module, dso->kernel is not necessary to be DSO_TYPE_KERNEL or DSO_TYPE_GUEST_KERNEL. These two enums are for vmlinux. See thread [1]. We tried to fix this part but it is costy. Code machine__write_buildid_table() is another unfortunate function fall into this trap that, when issuing buildid event for a kernel module, cpumode it gives to the event is PERF_RECORD_MISC_USER, not PERF_RECORD_MISC_KERNEL. However, even with this bug, most of the time it doesn't causes real problem. I find this issue when trying to use a perf before commit 3d39ac53 ("perf machine: No need to have two DSOs lists") to parse a perf.data generated by newest perf.

As such adding a "struct perf_evlist *" parameter, which should contain all the required information. Also adjusting the existing client of the interface to take the new parameter into account.

The 'tools/perf/test/make' makefile has in its default, 'all' target builds that will pollute the source code directory, i.e. that will not use O= variable. The 'build-test' should be run as often as possible, preferrably after each non strictly non-code commit, so speed it up by selecting just the O= targets. Furthermore it tests both the Makefile.perf file, that is normally driven by the main Makefile, and the Makefile, reduce the time in half by having just MK=Makefile, the most usual, tested by 'build-test'. Please run: make -C tools/perf -f tests/make from time to time for testing also the in-place build tests.

To prevent the feature check tests to run repeately, one time per 'tests/make' target/test, this patch utilizes the previously introduced 'feature-dump' make target and FEATURES_DUMP variable, making sure that the feature checkers run only once when doing build-test for normal test cases. However, since standard users doesn't reuse features dump result, we'd better give an option to check their behaviors. The above feature should be used to make build-test faster only. Only utilize it for build-test. Signed-off-by:

'make feature-dump' should give a stable result, so even 'NO_SOMETHING=1' is given (for babeltrace, if LIBBABELTRACE=1 is not given), we should try to detect those feature and {C,LD}FLAGS. Build or not should be controled independent. Signed-off-by:

I see problem with test-all case speedup, because it does not comprise checks for 32bits compilations, fix it. The problem could be noticed by calling: make -C tools/perf feature-dump That would end up misdetecting the feature-compile-x32, that, building using 'gcc -mx32' needs stub headers not present in a fedora 23 devel machine and thus fail to compile, but ended up appearing as detected, i.e. present in tools/perf/FEATURE-DUMP as 'feature-compile-x32=1'. With this fix it correctly appears as 'feature-compile-x32=0' and if we uninstall the libc devel files for 32 bits (glibc-devel.i686), then the relevant variable is flipped from 'feature-compile-32=1' to 'feature-compile-32=0'. The same things happened for bionic and libbabeltrace, that were misdetected because the are no tested in test-all.c Reported-and-Tested-by:

An i386 binary can be linked correctly even without correct headers. Which causes problem. For exmaple: $ mv /tmp/oxygen_root/usr/include/gnu/stubs-32.h{,.bak} $ make tools/perf Auto-detecting system features: ... dwarf: [ on ] [SNIP] GEN common-cmds.h CC perf-read-vdso32 In file included from /tmp/oxygen_root/usr/include/features.h:388:0, from /tmp/oxygen_root/usr/include/stdio.h:27, from perf-read-vdso.c:1: /tmp/oxygen_root/usr/include/gnu/stubs.h:7:27: fatal error: gnu/stubs-32.h: No such file or directory # include <gnu/stubs-32.h> ^ compilation terminated. ... In this patch we checks not only compiler and linker, but also basic headers in test-compile test case, make it fail on a platform lacking correct headers. Signed-off-by:

Libbpf should check the target section before doing relocation to ensure the relocation is correct. If not, a bug in LLVM causes an error. See [1]. Also, if an incorrect BPF script uses both global variable and map, global variable whould be treated as map and be relocated without error. This patch saves the id of the map section into obj->efile and compare target section of a relocation symbol against it during relocation. Previous patch introduces a test case about this problem. After this patch: # ~/perf test BPF 37: Test BPF filter : 37.1: Test basic BPF filtering : Ok 37.2: Test BPF prologue generation : Ok 37.3: Test BPF relocation checker : Ok # perf test -v BPF ... 37.3: Test BPF relocation checker : ... libbpf: loading object '[bpf_relocation_test]' from buffer libbpf: section .strtab, size 126, link 0, flags 0, type=3 libbpf: section .text, size 0, link 0, flags 6, type=1 libbpf: section .data, size 0, link 0, flags 3, type=1 libbpf: section .bss, size 0, link 0, flags 3, type=8 libbpf: section func=sys_write, size 104, link 0, flags 6, type=1 libbpf: found program func=sys_write libbpf: section .relfunc=sys_write, size 16, link 10, flags 0, type=9 libbpf: section maps, size 16, link 0, flags 3, type=1 libbpf: maps in [bpf_relocation_test]: 16 bytes libbpf: section license, size 4, link 0, flags 3, type=1 libbpf: license of [bpf_relocation_test] is GPL libbpf: section version, size 4, link 0, flags 3, type=1 libbpf: kernel version of [bpf_relocation_test] is 40400 libbpf: section .symtab, size 144, link 1, flags 0, type=2 libbpf: map 0 is "my_table" libbpf: collecting relocating info for: 'func=sys_write' libbpf: Program 'func=sys_write' contains non-map related relo data pointing to section 65522 bpf: failed to load buffer Compile BPF program failed. test child finished with 0 ---- end ---- Test BPF filter subtest 2: Ok [1] https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=26243Signed-off-by:

There's a bug in LLVM that it can generate unneeded relocation information. See [1] and [2]. Libbpf should check the target section of a relocation symbol. This patch adds a testcase which references a global variable (BPF doesn't support global variables). Before fixing libbpf, the new test case can be loaded into kernel, the global variable acts like the first map. It is incorrect.

Now that we check more strictly what each of the menu entries need, we can stop bailing out when 'sym' is not in the --sort order, instead we let each option be added if what it needs is present. This way, for instance, we can run scripts on all samples, see DSO map details when 'dso' is in the --sort provided, etc. Signed-off-by:
