          with 'perf buildid-list --with-hits' (Adrian Hunter)

        - Make 'perf buildid-list' request event ordering, as it needs to
          first get the mmap events to be able to mark wich DSOs had hits

      perf probe: Clear probe_trace_event when add_probe_trace_event() fails · 092b1f0b
      Wang Nan authored
      When probing with a glob, errors in add_probe_trace_event() won't be
      passed to debuginfo__find_trace_events() because it would be modified by
      probe_point_search_cb(). It causes a segfault if perf fails to find an
      argument for a probe point matched by the glob. For example:
      
        # ./perf probe -v -n 'SyS_dup? oldfd'
        probe-definition(0): SyS_dup? oldfd
        symbol:SyS_dup? file:(null) line:0 offset:0 return:0 lazy:(null)

      This patch ensures that add_probe_trace_event() doesn't touches
      tf->ntevs and tf->tevs if those functions fail.
      
      After the patch:
      
        # perf probe  'SyS_dup? oldfd'
        Failed to find 'oldfd' in this function.
        Added new events:
          probe:SyS_dup3       (on SyS_dup? with oldfd)
          probe:SyS_dup3_1     (on SyS_dup? with oldfd)
          probe:SyS_dup2       (on SyS_dup? with oldfd)
      
        You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

      Fix memory leaking on the debuginfo__find_trace_events() failure path

      allocated sub-structures and strings.
      
      So, before doing zfree(tevs), clear all the array elements which may

      perf buildid-list: Requires ordered events · 1216b65c
      Adrian Hunter authored
      'perf buildid-list' processes events to determine hits (i.e. with-hits
      option).  That may not work if events are not sorted in order. i.e. MMAP
      events must be processed before the samples that depend on them so that
      sample processing can 'hit' the DSO to which the MMAP refers.

      perf symbols: Fix dso lookup by long name and missing buildids · e266a753
      Adrian Hunter authored
      Commit 4598a0a6 ("perf symbols: Improve DSO long names lookup speed
      with rbtree") Added a tree to lookup dsos by long name.  That tree gets
      corrupted whenever a dso long name is changed because the tree is not
      updated.
      
      One effect of that is buildid-list does not work with the 'with-hits'
      option because dso lookup fails and results in two structs for the same
      dso.  The first has the buildid but no hits, the second has hits but no
      buildid. e.g.

      The fix is to record the root of the tree on the dso so that
      dso__set_long_name() can update the tree when the long name changes.

      perf test: Add 'perf test BPF' · ba1fae43
      Wang Nan authored
      This patch adds BPF testcase for testing BPF event filtering.
      
      By utilizing the result of 'perf test LLVM', this patch compiles the
      eBPF sample program then test its ability. The BPF script in 'perf test
      LLVM' lets only 50% samples generated by epoll_pwait() to be captured.
      This patch runs that system call for 111 times, so the result should
      contain 56 samples.

      perf test: Enhance the LLVM test: update basic BPF test program · b31de018
      Wang Nan authored
      This patch replaces the original toy BPF program with the previously
      introduced bpf-script-example.c. Dynamically embeddeding it into
      'llvm-src-base.c'.
      
      The newly introduced BPF program attaches a BPF program to
      'sys_epoll_pwait()'. perf itself never use that syscall, so further test
      can verify their result with it. The program would generate 1 sample in
      every 2 calls of epoll_pwait() system call.
      
      Since the resulting BPF object is useful per se for further tests,
      test_llvm__fetch_bpf_obj() is introduced for creating BPF objects from
      source. The LLVM test was rewritten to use it.

      perf bpf: Improve BPF related error messages · d3e0ce39
      Wang Nan authored
      A series of bpf loader related error codes were introduced to help error
      reporting. Functions were improved to return these new error codes.
      
      Functions which return pointers were adjusted to encode error codes into
      return value using the ERR_PTR() interface.
      
      bpf_loader_strerror() was improved to convert these error messages to
      strings. It checks the error codes and calls libbpf_strerror() and
      strerror_r() accordingly, so caller don't need to consider checking the
      range of the error code.
      
      In bpf__strerror_load(), print kernel version of running kernel and the
      object's 'version' section to notify user how to fix his/her program.
      
      v1 -> v2:
       Use macro for error code.
      
       Fetch error message based on array index, eliminate for-loop.
      
       Print version strings.
      
      Before:
      
        # perf record -e ./test_kversion_nomatch_program.o sleep 1
        event syntax error: './test_kversion_nomatch_program.o'
                             \___ Failed to load program: Validate your program and check 'license'/'version' sections in your object
        SKIP
      
        After:
      
        # perf record -e ./test_kversion_nomatch_program.o ls
        event syntax error: './test_kversion_nomatch_program.o'
                             \___ 'version' (4.4.0) doesn't match running kernel (4.3.0)

      There are 2 places in llvm-utils.c which find kernel version information
      through uname. This patch extracts the uname related code into a
      fetch_kernel_version() function and puts it into util.h so it can be
      reused.

      bpf tools: Improve libbpf error reporting · 6371ca3b
      Wang Nan authored
      In this patch, a series of libbpf specific error numbers and
      libbpf_strerror() are introduced to help reporting errors.
      
      Functions are updated to pass correct the error number through the
      CHECK_ERR() macro.
      
      All users of bpf_object__open{_buffer}() and bpf_program__title() in
      perf are modified accordingly. In addition, due to the error codes
      changing, bpf__strerror_load() is also modified to use them.
      
      bpf__strerror_head() is also changed accordingly so it can parse libbpf
      errors. bpf_loader_strerror() is introduced for that purpose, and will
      be improved by the following patch.
      
      load_program() is improved not to dump log buffer if it is empty. log
      buffer is also used to deduce whether the error was caused by an invalid
      program or other problem.
      
      v1 -> v2:
      
       - Using macro for error code.
      
       - Fetch error message based on array index, eliminate for-loop.
      
       - Use log buffer to detect the reason of failure. 3 new error code
         are introduced to replace LIBBPF_ERRNO__LOAD.
      
      In v1:
      
        # perf record -e ./test_ill_program.o ls
        event syntax error: './test_ill_program.o'
                             \___ Failed to load program: Validate your program and check 'license'/'version' sections in your object

      perf probe: Cleanup find_perf_probe_point_from_map to reduce redundancy · 0a62f686
      Masami Hiramatsu authored
      In find_perf_probe_point_from_map(), the 'ret' variable is initialized
      with -ENOENT but overwritten by the return code of
      kernel_get_symbol_address_by_name(), and after that it is re-initialized
      with -ENOENT again.
      
      Setting ret=-ENOENT twice looks a bit redundant. This avoids the
      overwriting and just returns -ENOENT if some error happens to simplify
      the code.

      perf annotate: Inform the user about objdump failures in --stdio · 62ec9b3f
      Andi Kleen authored
      When the browser fails to annotate it is difficult for users to find out
      what went wrong.
      
      Add some errors for objdump failures that are displayed in the UI.
      
      Note it would be even better to handle these errors smarter, like
      falling back to the binary when the debug info is somehow corrupted. But
      for now just giving a better error is an improvement.
      
      Committer note:
      
      This works for --stdio, where errors just scroll by the screen:
      
        # perf annotate --stdio intel_idle
        Failure running objdump  --start-address=0xffffffff81418290 --stop-address=0xffffffff814183ae -l -d --no-show-raw -S -C /root/.debug/.build-id/28/2777c262e6b3c0451375163c9a81c893218ab1 2>/dev/null|grep -v /root/.debug/.build-id/28/2777c262e6b3c0451375163c9a81c893218ab1|expand
         Percent |      Source code & Disassembly of vmlinux for cycles:pp
        ------------------------------------------------------------------
      
      And with that one can use that command line to try to find out more about what
      happened instead of getting a blank screen, an improvement.
      
      We need tho to improve this further to get it to work with other UIs, like
      --tui and --gtk, where it continues showing a blank screen, no messages, as
      the pr_err() used is enough just for --stdio.
