      perf tests: Add breakpoint accounting/modify test · 032db28e
      Jiri Olsa authored
      Adding test that:
      
        - detects the number of watch/break-points,
          skip test if any is missing
        - detects PERF_EVENT_IOC_MODIFY_ATTRIBUTES ioctl,
          skip test if it's missing
        - detects if watchpoints and breakpoints share
          same slots
        - create all possible watchpoints on cpu 0
        - change one of it to breakpoint
        - in case wp and bp do not share slots,
          we create another watchpoint to ensure
          the slot accounting is correct

      License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license · b2441318
      Greg Kroah-Hartman authored
      Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
      makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
      
      By default all files without license information are under the default
      license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
      
      Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
      SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
      shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
      
      This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
      Philippe Ombredanne.
      
      How this work was done:
      
      Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
      the use cases:
       - file had no licensing information it it.
       - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
       - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
      
      Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
      where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
      had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
      
      The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
      a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
      output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
      tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
      base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
      
      The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
      assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
      results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
      to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
      immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
      
      Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
       - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
       - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
         lines of source
       - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
         lines).
      
      All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
      
      The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
      identifiers to apply.
      
       - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
         considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
         COPYING file license applied.
      
         For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
      
         SPDX license identifier                            # files
         ---------------------------------------------------|-------
         GPL-2.0                                              11139
      
         and resulted in the first patch in this series.
      
         If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
         Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:
      
         SPDX license identifier                            # files
         ---------------------------------------------------|-------
         GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930
      
         and resulted in the second patch in this series.
      
       - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
         of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
         any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
         it (per prior point).  Results summary:
      
         SPDX license identifier                            # files
         ---------------------------------------------------|------
         GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
         GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
         LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
         GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
         ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
         LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
         LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1
      
         and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
      
       - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
         the concluded license(s).
      
       - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
         license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
         licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
      
       - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
         resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
         which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
      
       - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
         confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
      
       - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
         the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
         in time.
      
      In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
      spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
      source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
      by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
      
      Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
      FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
      disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
      Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
      they are related.
      
      Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
      for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
      files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
      in about 15000 files.
      
      In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
      copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
      correct identifier.
      
      Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
      inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
      version early this week with:
       - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
         license ids and scores
       - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
         files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
       - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
         was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
         SPDX license was correct
      
      This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
      worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
      different types of files to be modified.
      
      These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
      parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
      format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
      based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
      distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
      comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
      generate the patches.

      perf test: Add infrastructure to run shell based tests · 1209b273
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      To allow testing by directly using perf tools in scripts, checking that
      the effects on the system are the ones expected and that the output
      produced is as well the desired one.
      
      For instance, adding a probe at a well known location with 'perf probe',
      then checking that the results from using that probe to record are the
      desired ones, etc.
      
      The next csets will introduce tests using this new testing
      infrastructure.
      
      The scripts should return 0 for Ok, 1 for FAIL and 2 for SKIP.

      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      This way we'll be able to pass more test specific parameters without
      having to change this function signature.
      
      Will be used by the upcoming 'shell tests', shell scripts that will
      call perf tools and check if they work as expected, comparing its
      effects on the system (think 'perf probe foo') the output produced, etc.

      perf tools: Add a simple expression parser for JSON · 07516736
      Andi Kleen authored
      Add a simple expression parser good enough to parse JSON relation
      expressions. The parser is implemented using bison.
      
      This is just intended as an simple parser for internal usage in the
      event lists, not the beginning of a "perf scripting language"
      
      v2: Use expr__ prefix instead of expr_
          Support multiple free variables for parser
      
      Committer note:
      
      The v2 patch had:
      
        %define api.pure full
      
      In expr.y, that is a feature introduced in bison 2.7, to have reentrant
      parsers, not using global variables, which would make tools/perf stop
      building with the bison version shipped in older distros, so Andi
      realised that the other parsers (e.g. parse-events.y) were using:
      
        %pure-parser
      
      Which is present in older versions of bison and fits the bill.
      
      I added:
      
        CFLAGS_expr-bison.o += -DYYENABLE_NLS=0 -DYYLTYPE_IS_TRIVIAL=0 -w
      
      To finally make it build, copying what was there for pmu-bison.o,
      another parser.

      perf clang: Add builtin clang support ant test case · 00b86691
      Wang Nan authored
      Add basic clang support in clang.cpp and test__clang() testcase. The
      first testcase checks if builtin clang is able to generate LLVM IR.
      
      tests/clang.c is a proxy. Real testcase resides in
      utils/c++/clang-test.cpp in c++ and exports C interface to perf test
      subsystem.
      
      Test result:
      
         $ perf test -v clang
         51: builtin clang support                               :
         51.1: Test builtin clang compile C source to IR              :
         --- start ---
         test child forked, pid 13215
         test child finished with 0
         ---- end ----
         Test builtin clang support subtest 0: Ok
      
      Committer note:
      
      Make sure you've enabled CLANG and LLVM builtin support by setting
      the LIBCLANGLLVM variable on the make command line, e.g.:
      
        make LIBCLANGLLVM=1 O=/tmp/build/perf -C tools/perf install-bin
      
      Otherwise you'll get this when trying to do the 'perf test' call above:
      
        # perf test clang
        51: builtin clang support                      : Skip (not compiled in)

      perf tools: Introduce perf hooks · a074865e
      Wang Nan authored
      Perf hooks allow hooking user code at perf events. They can be used for
      manipulation of BPF maps, taking snapshot and reporting results. In this
      patch two perf hook points are introduced: record_start and record_end.
      
      To avoid buggy user actions, a SIGSEGV signal handler is introduced into
      'perf record'. It turns off perf hook if it causes a segfault and report
      an error to help debugging.
      
      A test case for perf hook is introduced.
      
      Test result:
        $ ./buildperf/perf test -v hook
        50: Test perf hooks                                          :

      perf tests: Pass the subtest index to each test routine · 721a1f53
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      Some tests have sub-tests we want to run, so allow passing this.
      
      Wang tried to avoid having to touch all tests, but then, having the
      test.func in an anonymous union makes the build fail on older compilers,
      like the one in RHEL6, where:
      
        test a = {
      	.func = foo,
        };
      
      fails.
      
      To fix it leave the func pointer in the main structure and pass the subtest
      index to all tests, end result function is the same, but we have just one
      function pointer, not two, with and without the subtest index as an argument.

      perf tools: Add a test for decoding of new x86 instructions · 98e4619f
      Adrian Hunter authored
      Add a new test titled:
      
      	Test x86 instruction decoder - new instructions
      
      The purpose of this test is to check the instruction decoder after new
      instructions have been added.  Initially, MPX instructions are tested
      which are already supported, but the definitions in x86-opcode-map.txt
      will be tweaked in a subsequent patch, after which this test can be run
      to verify those changes.
      
      The data for the test comes from assembly language instructions in
      insn-x86-dat-src.c which is converted into bytes by the scripts
      gen-insn-x86-dat.sh and gen-insn-x86-dat.awk, and included into the test
      program insn-x86.c as insn-x86-dat-32.c and insn-x86-dat-64.c.
      
      The conversion is not done as part of the perf tools build because the
      test data must be under (git) change control in order for the test to be
      repeatably-correct.  Also it may require a recent version of binutils.

      perf tests: Add LLVM test for eBPF on-the-fly compiling · 9bc898c7
      Wang Nan authored
      Previous patches introduce llvm__compile_bpf() to compile source file to
      eBPF object. This patch adds testcase to test it. It also tests libbpf
      by opening generated object after applying next patch which introduces
      HAVE_LIBBPF_SUPPORT option.
      
      Since llvm__compile_bpf() prints long messages which users who don't
      explicitly test llvm doesn't care, this patch set verbose to -1 to
      suppress all debug, warning and error message, and hint user use 'perf
      test -v' to see the full output.
      
      For the same reason, if clang is not found in PATH and there's no [llvm]
      section in .perfconfig, skip this test.

      perf tests: Show refcounting broken expectations in thread-mg-share test · 8f196013

        [acme@zoo linux]$
      
      This is under investigation, the thread__delete() calls were replaced
      with thread__put(), and those cause mismatches because now we need to be
      more judicious with the thread lifetime management.
      
      I.e. previously the thread__delete() would drop the map_group refcount,
      but now since thread__put doesn't call thread__delete() necessarily.
      because we have other refcount holders, the map_group refcount will not
      be as we expected when this test was implemented.
      
      Will be fixed soon...

      perf tools: Add kmod_path__parse function · 3c8a67f5
      Jiri Olsa authored
      Provides united way of parsing kernel module path
      into several components.
      
      The new kmod_path__parse function and few defines:
      
        int __kmod_path__parse(struct kmod_path *m, const char *path,
                               bool alloc_name, bool alloc_ext);
      
        #define kmod_path__parse(__m, __p)      __kmod_path__parse(__m, __p, false, false)
        #define kmod_path__parse_name(__m, __p) __kmod_path__parse(__m, __p, true , false)
        #define kmod_path__parse_ext(__m, __p)  __kmod_path__parse(__m, __p, false, true)
      
      parse kernel module @path and updates @M argument like:
      
        @comp - true if @path contains supported compression suffix,
                false otherwise
        @kmod - true if @path contains '.ko' suffix in right position,
                false otherwise
        @name - if (@alloc_name && @kmod) is true, it contains strdup-ed base name
                of the kernel module without suffixes, otherwise strudup-ed
                base name of @path
        @ext  - if (@alloc_ext && @comp) is true, it contains strdup-ed string
                the compression suffix
      
      It returns 0 if there's no strdup error, -ENOMEM otherwise.
