It should be useful to allow 'perf probe' probe at absolute offset of a target. For example, when (u)probing at a instruction of a shared object in a embedded system where debuginfo is not avaliable but we know the offset of that instruction by manually digging. This patch enables following perf probe command syntax: # perf probe 0xffffffff811e6615 And # perf probe /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc-2.19.so 0xeb860 In the above example, we don't need a anchor symbol, so it is possible to compute absolute addresses using other methods and then use 'perf probe' to create the probing points. v1 -> v2: Drop the leading '+' in cmdline; Allow uprobing at offset 0x0; Improve 'perf probe -l' result when uprobe at area without debuginfo. v2 -> v3: Split bugfix to a separated patch. Test result: # perf probe 0xffffffff8119d175 %ax # perf probe sys_write %ax # perf probe /lib64/libc-2.18.so 0x0 %ax # perf probe /lib64/libc-2.18.so 0x5 %ax # perf probe /lib64/libc-2.18.so 0xd8e40 %ax # perf probe /lib64/libc-2.18.so __write %ax # perf probe /lib64/libc-2.18.so 0xd8e49 %ax # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events p:probe_libc/abs_0 /lib64/libc-2.18.so:0x (null) arg1=%ax p:probe_libc/abs_5 /lib64/libc-2.18.so:0x0000000000000005 arg1=%ax p:probe_libc/abs_d8e40 /lib64/libc-2.18.so:0x00000000000d8e40 arg1=%ax p:probe_libc/__write /lib64/libc-2.18.so:0x00000000000d8e40 arg1=%ax p:probe_libc/abs_d8e49 /lib64/libc-2.18.so:0x00000000000d8e49 arg1=%ax # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events p:probe/abs_ffffffff8119d175 0xffffffff8119d175 arg1=%ax p:probe/sys_write _text+1692016 arg1=%ax # perf probe -l Failed to find debug information for address 5 probe:abs_ffffffff8119d175 (on sys_write+5 with arg1) probe:sys_write (on sys_write with arg1) probe_libc:__write (on @unix/syscall-template.S:81 in /lib64/libc-2.18.so with arg1) probe_libc:abs_0 (on 0x0 in /lib64/libc-2.18.so with arg1) probe_libc:abs_5 (on 0x5 in /lib64/libc-2.18.so with arg1) probe_libc:abs_d8e40 (on @unix/syscall-template.S:81 in /lib64/libc-2.18.so with arg1) probe_libc:abs_d8e49 (on __GI___libc_write+9 in /lib64/libc-2.18.so with arg1) Signed-off-by: -

This patch fixes a bug that, when offset is provided but function is lost, parse_perf_probe_point() will give a "" string as function name, so the checking code at the end of parse_perf_probe_point() become useless. For example: # perf probe +0x1234 Failed to find symbol in kernel Error: Failed to add events. After this patch: # perf probe +0x1234 Semantic error :Offset requires an entry function. Error: Command Parse Error. Signed-off-by: -

When manually added uprobe point with zero address, 'perf probe -l' reports error. For example: # echo p:probe_libc/abs_0 /path/to/lib.bin:0x0 arg1=%ax > \ /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events # perf probe -l Error: Failed to show event list. Probing at 0x0 is possible and useful when lib.bin is not a normal shared object but is manually mapped. However, in this case kernel report: # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events p:probe_libc/abs_0 /path/to/lib.bin:0x (null) arg1=%ax This patch supports the above kernel output. Signed-off-by: -

'perf probe -l' reports error if it is unable find symbol through address. Here is an example. # echo 'p:probe_libc/abs_5 /lib64/libc.so.6:0x5' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events p:probe_libc/abs_5 /lib64/libc.so.6:0x0000000000000005 # perf probe -l Error: Failed to show event list Also, this situation triggers a logical inconsistency in convert_to_perf_probe_point() that, it returns ENOMEM but actually it never try strdup(). This patch removes !tp->module && !is_kprobe condition, so it always uses address to build function name if symbol not found. Test result: # perf probe -l probe_libc:abs_5 (on 0x5 in /lib64/libc.so.6) Signed-off-by: -

For example: # echo 'p:probe/abs_ffffffff811e6615 0xffffffff811e6615' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events # perf probe -l Segmentation fault (core dumped) This patch fix this problem by considering the situation that "tp->symbol == NULL" in find_perf_probe_point_from_dwarf() and find_perf_probe_point_from_map().

CYC packets are a new Intel PT feature. CYC packets provide even finer grain timestamp information than MTC and TSC packets. A CYC packet contains the number of CPU cycles since the last CYC packet. Unlike MTC and TSC packets, CYC packets are only sent when another packet is also sent. Support for this feature is indicated by: /sys/bus/event_source/devices/intel_pt/caps/psb_cyc which contains "1" if the feature is supported and "0" otherwise. CYC packets can be requested using a PMU config term e.g. perf record -e intel_pt/cyc/u sleep 1 The frequency of CYC packets can also be specified. e.g. perf record -e intel_pt/cyc,cyc_thresh=2/u sleep 1 CYC packets are not requested by default. Valid cyc_thresh values are given by: /sys/bus/event_source/devices/intel_pt/caps/cycle_thresholds which contains a hexadecimal value, the bits of which represent valid values e.g. bit 2 set means value 2 is valid. The value represents the minimum number of CPU cycles that must have passed before a CYC packet can be sent. The number of CPU cycles is: 2 ^ (value - 1) e.g. value 4 means 8 CPU cycles must pass before a CYC packet can be sent. Note a CYC packet is still only sent when another packet is sent, not at, e.g. every 8 CPU cycles. If an invalid value is entered, the error message will give a list of valid values e.g. $ perf record -e intel_pt/cyc,cyc_thresh=15/u uname Invalid cyc_thresh for intel_pt. Valid values are: 0-12 tools/perf/Documentation/intel-pt.txt is updated in a later patch as there are a number of new features being added.

CYC packets provide even finer grain timestamp information than MTC and TSC packets. A CYC packet contains the number of CPU cycles since the last CYC packet. This patch just adds decoder support. The CPU frequency can be related to TSC using the Maximum Non-Turbo Ratio in combination with the CBR (core-to-bus ratio) packet. However more accuracy is achieved by simply interpolating the number of cycles between other timing packets like MTC or TSC. This patch takes the latter approach. Support for a default value and validation of values is provided by a later patch. Also documentation is updated in a separate patch.

Valid values are given by: /sys/bus/event_source/devices/intel_pt/caps/mtc_periods which contains a hexadecimal value, the bits of which represent valid values e.g. bit 2 set means value 2 is valid. The value is converted to the MTC frequency as: CTC-frequency / (2 ^ value) e.g. value 3 means one eighth of CTC-frequency Where CTC is the hardware crystal clock, the frequency of which can be related to TSC via values provided in cpuid leaf 0x15. If an invalid value is entered, the error message will give a list of valid values e.g. $ perf record -e intel_pt/mtc_period=15/u uname Invalid mtc_period for intel_pt.

New features have been added to Intel PT which include a number of new packet definitions. This patch adds packet definitions for new packets: TMA, MTC, CYC, VMCS, TRACESTOP and MNT. Also another bit in PIP is defined. This patch only adds support for the definitions. Later patches add support for decoding TMA, MTC, CYC and TRACESTOP which is where those packets are explained. VMCS and the newly defined bit in PIP are used with virtualization which is not supported yet. MNT is a maintenance packet which the decoder should ignore.

The PSB packet is a synchronization packet that provides a starting point for decoding or recovery from errors. This patch adds support for a new Intel PT feature that allows the frequency of PSB packets to be specified. Support for this feature is indicated by /sys/bus/event_source/devices/intel_pt/caps/psb_cyc which contains "1" if the feature is supported and "0" otherwise. The PSB period can be specified as a PMU config term e.g. perf record -e intel_pt/psb_period=2/u sleep 1 The default value is 3 or the nearest lower value that is supported. 0 is always supported. Valid values are given by: /sys/bus/event_source/devices/intel_pt/caps/psb_periods which contains a hexadecimal value, the bits of which represent valid values e.g. bit 2 set means value 2 is valid. The value is converted to the approximate number of trace bytes between PSB packets as: 2 ^ (value + 11) e.g. value 3 means 16KiB bytes between PSBs If an invalid value is entered, the error message will give a list of valid values e.g. $ perf record -e intel_pt/psb_period=15/u uname Invalid psb_period for intel_pt.

Error: Failed to add events. Reason: No such file or directory (Code: -2) The reason is caused by libdw that, if libdw is statically linked, it can't load libebl_{arch}.so reliable. In this case it is still possible to get the address from /proc/kalksyms. However, perf tries that only when libdw returns -EBADF. This patch gives it another chance to utilize symbol table, even if libdw returns an error code other than -EBADF.

Map clone was written before we introduced reference counts for maps and dsos, so all that was needed was just a copy and then we would insert it into the new map_groups instance. Fix it by, after copying, initializing the map->refcnt, grabbing a struct dso refcount and resetting pointers that may be used to determine if a map, when deleted, is in a rb_tree.

Intel BTS support fits within the new auxtrace infrastructure. Recording is supporting by identifying the Intel BTS PMU, parsing options and setting up events. Decoding is supported by queuing up trace data by thread and then decoding synchronously delivering synthesized event samples into the session processing for tools to consume.

That is, code that found the issue reported the first problem, but because it did not exit out of the functions smoothly, it caused the other warning to appear and not only that, it later caused the SIGSEGV.

Events that don't sample the timestamp have a timestamp value of -1. Intel PT processing wasn't taking that into account. This is particularly noticeable with Intel BTS because timestamps are not requested by default. Then, if the conversion of -1 to TSC results in a small number, the processing is unaffected. However if the conversion results in a big number, then the data is processed prematurely before relevant sideband data like mmap events, which in turn results in samples with unknown dsos. Commiter note: Since BTS wasn't upstream, I split the patch to fold the BTS part with the patch introducing it, to avoid having this bug in the commit history. PT was already upstream, so this patch contains that part. Signed-off-by:

The "/proc/kcore requires CAP_SYS_RAWIO" message comes up all the time for 'perf script' if vmlinux is not found and the user isn't root, even when the kernel is not being traced and even though the message is only really relevant for annotation. Change it to pr_debug and instead put a note in the message displayed if annotation is not possible. Also, the file being accessed might not be /proc/kcore. Tools can be directed to a different location using the --kallsyms option in which case kcore is expected to be in the same directory. Adjust the message so it is not misleading in that case.

Patch "perf script: Don't assume evsel position of tracking events" changed 'perf script' to use 'perf_evlist__id2evsel()'. That results in a segfault if there is more than 1 event and there are synthesized mmap events e.g. $ perf record -e cycles,instructions -p$$ sleep 1 $ perf script --show-mmap-events Segmentation fault (core dumped) That happens because these synthesized events have an 'id' of zero which does not match any 'evsel'. Currently, these synthesized events use the sample type of the first evsel. Change 'perf_evlist__id2evsel()' to reflect that which also makes it consistent with 'perf_evlist__event2evsel()'.

When processing a fork event, the tools lookup the parent thread by its tid. In a couple of cases, it is possible for that thread to have the wrong pid. That can happen if the data is being processed out of order, or if the (fork) event that would have removed the erroneous thread was lost. Assume the latter case, print a dump message, remove the erroneous thread, create a new one with the correct pid, and keep going. Reported-by:
