      perf symbols: Remove incorrect open-coded container_of() · 02a9d037
      Rabin Vincent authored 
      At least on ARM, padding is inserted between rb_node and sym in struct
symbol_name_rb_node, causing "((void *)sym) - sizeof(struct rb_node)" to
point inside rb_node rather than to the symbol_name_rb_node.  Fix this
by converting the code to use container_of().

      perf record: Handle restrictive permissions in /proc/{kallsyms,modules} · c1a3a4b9
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored 
      The 59365d13 commit, even being reverted by 33e0d57, showed a non robust
behavior in 'perf record': it really should just warn the user that some
functionality will not be available.

The new behavior then becomes:

	[acme@felicio linux]$ ls -la /proc/{kallsyms,modules}
	-r-------- 1 root root 0 Nov 22 12:19 /proc/kallsyms
	-r-------- 1 root root 0 Nov 22 12:19 /proc/modules
	[acme@felicio linux]$ perf record ls -R > /dev/null
	Couldn't record kernel reference relocation symbol
	Symbol resolution may be skewed if relocation was used (e.g. kexec).
	Check /proc/kallsyms permission or run as root.
	[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
	[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.004 MB perf.data (~161 samples) ]
	[acme@felicio linux]$ perf report --stdio
	[kernel.kallsyms] with build id 77b05e00e64e4de1c9347d83879779b540d69f00 not found, continuing without symbols

It still has the build-ids for DSOs in the maps with hits:

[acme@felicio linux]$ perf buildid-list
77b05e00e64e4de1c9347d83879779b540d69f00 [kernel.kallsyms]
09c4a431a4a8b648fcfc2c2bdda70f56050ddff1 /bin/ls
af75ea9ad951d25e0f038901a11b3846dccb29a4 /lib64/libc-2.12.90.so
[acme@felicio linux]$

That can be used in another machine to resolve kernel symbols.

      perf stat: Change and clean up sys_perf_event_open error handling · d9cf837e
      Corey Ashford authored 
      This patch makes several changes to "perf stat":

- "perf stat" will no longer go ahead and run the application when one or
more of the specified events could not be opened.
- Use error() and die() instead of pr_err() so that the output is more
consistent with "perf top" and "perf record".
- Handle permission errors in a more robust way, and in a similar way to
"perf record" and "perf top".

In addition, the sys_perf_event_open() error handling of "perf top" and "perf
record" is made more consistent and adds the following phrase when an event
doesn't open (with something ther than an access or permission error):

"/bin/dmesg may provide additional information."

This is added because kernel code doesn't have a good way of expressing
detailed errors to user space, so its only avenue is to use printk's.  However,
many users may not think of looking at dmesg to find out why an event is being
rejected.
