The write_event() function in builtin-record.c writes out all mmap()'d DSOs including non-ELF files like GNOME resource files and such. Therefore, check for ELF_K_ELF in filename__read_build_id() before attempting to read the ELF header with gelf_getehdr(). Fixes the following error messages when running "perf kmem record": penberg@penberg-laptop:~/src/linux/tools/perf$ perf kmem record ^C[ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.753 MB perf.data (~32885 samples) ] filename__read_build_id: cannot get elf header. filename__read_build_id: cannot get elf header. filename__read_build_id: cannot get elf header. filename__read_build_id: cannot get elf header. filename__read_build_id: cannot get elf header. filename__read_build_id: cannot get elf header. filename__read_build_id: cannot get elf header. filename__read_build_id: cannot get elf header. filename__read_build_id: cannot get elf header.

This patch adds support for "--sort hit" and "--sort frag" to the "perf kmem" tool. The former was already mentioned in the help text and the latter is useful for finding call-sites that exhibit worst case behavior for SLAB allocators. Signed-off-by:

The buffer is first zeroed out by memset(). Then strncpy() is used to fill the content. The strncpy() function also pads the string till the end of the specified length, which is redundant. The strncpy() does not ensures that the string will be properly closed with 0. Use strlcpy() instead. The semantic match that finds this kind of pattern is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @@ expression buffer; expression size; expression str; @@ memset(buffer, 0, size); ... - strncpy( + strlcpy( buffer, str, sizeof(buffer) ); @@ expression buffer; expression size; expression str; @@ memset(&buffer, 0, size); ... - strncpy( + strlcpy( &buffer, str, sizeof(buffer)); @@ expression buffer; identifier field; expression size; expression str; @@ memset(buffer, 0, size); ... - strncpy( + strlcpy( buffer->field, str, sizeof(buffer->field) ); @@ expression buffer; identifier field; expression size; expression str; @@ memset(&buffer, 0, size); ... - strncpy( + strlcpy( buffer.field, str, sizeof(buffer.field)); // </smpl> On strncpy() vs strlcpy() see http://www.gratisoft.us/todd/papers/strlcpy.html .

We are never in an NMI context when we commit a syscall trace to perf. So just forget about the nmi buffer there. Signed-off-by:
-
Frederic Weisbecker authored
When we commit a trace to perf, we first check if we are recursing in the same buffer so that we don't mess-up the buffer with a recursing trace. But later on, we do the same check from perf to avoid commit recursion. The recursion check is desired early before we touch the buffer but we want to do this check only once. Then export the recursion protection from perf and use it from the trace events before submitting a trace. v2: Put appropriate Reported-by tag Reported-by:

It better propagate errors, also if we do a simple: [root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]# perf record -R -a -f sleep 3s ; perf trace [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.182 MB perf.data (~7972 samples) ] Fatal: not an trace data file [root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]# That is what is expected, right? I.e. as we didn't specify any tracepoint event via -e, it should gracefully bail out and not SEGFAULT. Signed-off-by:

We better call this routine after both the kernel and modules are loaded, because as it was if there weren't modules it would not be called, resulting in kernel_map->end remaining at zero, so no map would be found and consequently the kernel symtab wouldn't get loaded, i.e. no kernel symbols would be resolved. Also this fixes another case, that is when we _have_ modules, but the last map would have its ->end address not set before we loaded its symbols, which would never happen because ->end was not set.

This patch fixes the default watermark value for the sampling buffer. With the existing calculation (watermark = max(PAGE_SIZE, max_size / 2)), no notification was ever received when the buffer was exactly 1 page. This was because you would never cross the threshold (there is no partial samples). In certain configuration, there was no possibilty detecting the problem because there was not enough space left to store the LOST record.In fact, there may be a more generic problem here. The kernel should ensure that there is alaways enough space to store one LOST record. This patch sets the default watermark to half the buffer size. With such limit, we are guaranteed to get a notification even with a single page buffer assuming no sample is bigger than a page. Signed-off-by:

Most sites updating ctx->time and event times do so under ctx->lock, make sure they all do. This was made possible by removing the __perf_event_read() call from __perf_event_sync_stat(), which already had this lock taken. Signed-off-by:

Remove an update_context_time() call from the perf_event_task_sched_out() path and into the branch its needed. The call was both superfluous, because __perf_event_sched_out() already does it, and wrong, because it was done without holding ctx->lock. Place it in perf_event_sync_stat(), which is the only place it is needed and which does already hold ctx->lock. Signed-off-by:

As Corey reported, the total_enabled and total_running times could occasionally be 0, even though there were events counted. It turns out this is because we record the times before reading the counter while the latter updates the times. This patch corrects that. While looking at this code I found that there is a lot of locking iffyness around, the following patches correct most of that. Reported-by:

Remove a rcu_read_{,un}lock() pair and a few conditionals. We can remove the rcu_read_lock() by increasing the scope of one in the calling function. We can do away with the system_state check if the machine still boots after this patch (seems to be the case). We can do away with the list_empty() check because the bare list_for_each_entry_rcu() reduces to that now that we've removed everything else. Signed-off-by: -

E.g.: [root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]# perf top -v --vmlinux ../build/tip/vmlinux > /dev/null build_id in vmlinux is e96699725a47413a50c231864a8e7a8ced40a31b while expected is 18e7cc53db62a7d35e9d6f6c9ddc23017d38ee9a, ignoring it I.e. perf top was told to use a vmlinux file that is not the one currently running on the machine, it ignores it and falls back to using /proc/kallsyms. This solves many, at first, mysterious results when people have a stale vmlinux file while keeping the default of trying to use the vmlinux file in the current directory in things like 'perf annotate' where the DWARF info is required and thus we can't use just /proc/kallsyms. Modules buildids are already being checked as of the previous changeset in this series, because we are using the default dso__load routine, that will look at a series of places looking for the best file with a matching buildid, starting in the -debuginfo directories.

Just like we do with the other DSOs. This also simplifies the kernel_maps setup process, now all that the tools need to do is to call kernel_maps__init and the maps for the modules and kernel will be created, then, later, when kernel_maps__find_symbol() is used, it will also call maps__find_symbol that already checks if the symtab was loaded, loading it if needed. Now if one does 'perf top --hide_kernel_symbols' we won't pay the price of loading the (many) symbols in /proc/kallsyms or vmlinux. Signed-off-by:

In the kernel we have more than one notes section, so the linker script combines all and puts them into a ".notes" combined section. So we need to look at both sections and also traverse them looking at multiple GElf_Nhdr entries till we find the one we want, with the build_id. Signed-off-by:

It should just load kernel symbols, not load the list of modules. There are more stuff to move to other routines, but lets do it in several steps. End goal is to be able to defer symbol table loading till we find a hit for that map address range. So that the kernel & modules are handled just like all the other DSOs in the system. Signed-off-by:
