During a "perf buildid-cache --add" command, the section ".note.stapsdt" of the "added" binary is scanned in order to list the available SDT markers available in a binary. The parts containing the probes arguments were left unscanned. The whole section is now parsed; the probe arguments are extracted for later use.

On old perf, when using 'perf probe -d' to delete an inexistent event, it returns errno, eg, -bash-4.3# perf probe -d xxx || echo $? Info: Event "*:xxx" does not exist. Error: Failed to delete events. 255 But now perf_del_probe_events() will always set ret = 0, different from previous del_perf_probe_events(). After this, it returns errno again, eg, -bash-4.3# ./perf probe -d xxx || echo $? "xxx" does not hit any event. Error: Failed to delete events. 254 And it is more appropriate to return -ENOENT instead of -EPERM.

There are many SDT markers in powerpc whose uprobe definition goes beyond current MAX_CMDLEN, especially when target filename is long and sdt marker has long list of arguments. For example, definition of sdt marker method__compile__end: 8@17 8@9 8@10 -4@8 8@7 -4@6 8@5 -4@4 1@37(28) from file /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.91-2.b14.fc22.ppc64/jre/lib/ppc64/server/libjvm.so is p:sdt_hotspot/method__compile__end /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-\ 1.8.0.91-2.b14.fc22.ppc64/jre/lib/ppc64/server/libjvm.so:0x4c4e00\ arg1=%gpr17:u64 arg2=%gpr9:u64 arg3=%gpr10:u64 arg4=%gpr8:s32\ arg5=%gpr7:u64 arg6=%gpr6:s32 arg7=%gpr5:u64 arg8=%gpr4:s32\ arg9=+37(%gpr28):u8 'perf probe' fails with segfault for such markers.

This patch decodes the 'partial' flag in AUX records and prints a warning to the user, so that they don't have to guess why their PT traces contain gaps (or missing altogether): Warning: AUX data had gaps in it 8 times out of 8! Are you running a KVM guest in the background? Trying to be even more helpful, we will detect if the user's kvm driver sets up exclusive VMX root mode for the entire lifespan of the kvm process: Reloading kvm_intel module with vmm_exclusive=0 will reduce the gaps to only guest's timeslices. Note however, that you'll still have gaps in cpu-wide traces even with vmm_exclusive=0, but the number of gaps will be below 100% (as opposed to the above example). Currently this is the only reason for partial records.

Implement printing instruction sequences as hex dump for branch stacks. This relies on the x86 instruction decoder used by the PT decoder to find the lengths of instructions to dump them individually. This is good enough for pattern matching. This allows to study hot paths for individual samples, together with branch misprediction and cycle count / IPC information if available (on Skylake systems). % perf record -b ... % perf script -F brstackinsn ... read_hpet+67: ffffffff9905b843 insn: 74 ea # PRED ffffffff9905b82f insn: 85 c9 ffffffff9905b831 insn: 74 12 ffffffff9905b833 insn: f3 90 ffffffff9905b835 insn: 48 8b 0f ffffffff9905b838 insn: 48 89 ca ffffffff9905b83b insn: 48 c1 ea 20 ffffffff9905b83f insn: 39 f2 ffffffff9905b841 insn: 89 d0 ffffffff9905b843 insn: 74 ea # PRED Only works when no special branch filters are specified. Occasionally the path does not reach up to the sample IP, as the LBRs may be frozen before executing a final jump. In this case we print a special message. The instruction dumper piggy backs on the existing infrastructure from the IP PT decoder. An earlier iteration of this patch relied on a disassembler, but this version only uses the existing instruction decoder.

Since commit: 1c5ac21a ("perf/x86/intel/pt: Don't die on VMXON") ... PT events depend on re-scheduling to get enabled after a VMX session has taken place. This is, in particular, a problem for CPU context events, which don't normally get re-scheduled, unless there is a reason. This patch changes the VMX handling so that PT event gets re-enabled when VMX root mode exits. Also, notify the user when there's a gap in PT data due to VMX root mode by flagging AUX records as partial. In combination with vmm_exclusive=0 parameter of the kvm_intel driver, this will result in trace gaps only for the duration of the guest's timeslices.

The Intel PT driver needs to be able to communicate partial AUX transactions, that is, transactions with gaps in data for reasons other than no room left in the buffer (i.e. truncated transactions). Therefore, this condition does not imply a wakeup for the consumer. To this end, add a new "partial" AUX flag.

This patch significantly improves the execution time of perf_event__synthesize_mmap_events() when running perf record on systems where processes have lots of threads. It just happens that cat /proc/pid/maps support uses a O(N^2) algorithm to generate each map line in the maps file. If you have 1000 threads, then you have necessarily 1000 stacks. For each vma, you need to check if it corresponds to a thread's stack. With a large number of threads, this can take a very long time. I have seen latencies >> 10mn. As of today, perf does not use the fact that a mapping is a stack, therefore we can work around the issue by using /proc/pid/tasks/pid/maps. This entry does not try to map a vma to stack and is thus much faster with no loss of functonality. The proc-map-timeout logic is kept in case users still want some upper limit. In V2, we fix the file path from /proc/pid/tasks/pid/maps to actual /proc/pid/task/pid/maps, tasks -> task. Thanks Arnaldo for catching this.

perf specifies an offset from _text and since this offset is fed directly into the arch-specific helper, kprobes tracer rejects installation of kretprobes through perf. Fix this by looking up the actual offset from a function for the specified sym+offset. Refactor and reuse existing routines to limit code duplication -- we repurpose kprobe_addr() for determining final kprobe address and we split out the function entry offset determination into a separate generic helper.

Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo-4.12-20170314' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/core Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo: New features: - Add PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES so that the kernel can record information required to associate samples to namespaces, helping in container problem characterization. Now the 'perf record has a --namespace' option to ask for such info, and when present, it can be used, initially, via a new sort order, 'cgroup_id', allowing histogram entry bucketization by a (device, inode) based cgroup identifier (Hari Bathini) - Add --next option to 'perf sched timehist', showing what is the next thread to run (Brendan Gregg) Fixes: - Fix segfault with basic block 'cycles' sort dimension (Changbin Du) - Add c2c to command-list.txt, making it appear in the 'perf help' output (Changbin Du) - Fix zeroing of 'abs_path' variable in the perf hists browser switch file code (Changbin Du) - Hide tips messages when -q/--quiet is given to 'perf report' (Namhyung Kim) Infrastructure changes: - Use ref_reloc_sym + offset to setup kretprobes (Naveen Rao) - Ignore generated files pmu-events/{jevents,pmu-events.c} for git (Changbin Du) Documentation changes: - Document +field style argument support for --field option (Changbin Du) - Clarify 'perf c2c --stats' help message (Namhyung Kim) Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

Commit 88ffbf3e switches to using rhashtables for glocks, hashing over the entire struct lm_lockname instead of its individual fields. On some architectures, struct lm_lockname contains a hole of uninitialized memory due to alignment rules, which now leads to incorrect hash values. Get rid of that hole.

Pull percpu fixes from Tejun Heo: - the allocation path was updating pcpu_nr_empty_pop_pages without the required locking which can lead to incorrect handling of empty chunks (e.g. keeping too many around), which is buggy but shouldn't lead to critical failures.

Yuval Mintz says: ==================== qed: Fixes series This address several different issues in qed. The more significant portions: Patch #1 would cause timeout when qedr utilizes the highest CIDs availble for it [or when future qede adapters would utilize queues in some constellations]. Patch #4 fixes a leak of mapped addresses; When iommu is enabled, offloaded storage protocols might eventually run out of resources and fail to map additional buffers. Patches #6,#7 were missing in the initial iSCSI infrastructure submissions, and would hamper qedi's stability when it reaches out-of-order scenarios. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
