      perf tools: Stop fallbacking to kallsyms for vdso symbols lookup · edeb0c90

      David reports that:

<quote>
Perf has this hack where it uses the kernel symbol map as a backup when
a symbol can't be found in the user's symbol table(s).

This causes problems because the tests driving this code path use
machine__kernel_ip(), and that is completely meaningless on Sparc.  On
sparc64 the kernel and user live in physically separate virtual address
spaces, rather than a shared one.  And the kernel lives at a virtual
address that overlaps common userspace addresses.  So this test passes
almost all the time when a user symbol lookup fails.

The consequence of this is that, if the unfound user virtual address in
the sample doesn't match up to a kernel symbol either, we trigger things
like this code in builtin-top.c:

	if (al.sym == NULL && al.map != NULL) {
		const char *msg = "Kernel samples will not be resolved.\n";
		/*
		 * As we do lazy loading of symtabs we only will know if the
		 * specified vmlinux file is invalid when we actually have a
		 * hit in kernel space and then try to load it. So if we get
		 * here and there are _no_ symbols in the DSO backing the
		 * kernel map, bail out.
		 *
		 * We may never get here, for instance, if we use -K/
		 * --hide-kernel-symbols, even if the user specifies an
		 * invalid --vmlinux ;-)
		 */
		if (!machine->kptr_restrict_warned && !top->vmlinux_warned &&
		    __map__is_kernel(al.map) && map__has_symbols(al.map)) {
			if (symbol_conf.vmlinux_name) {
				char serr[256];
				dso__strerror_load(al.map->dso, serr, sizeof(serr));
				ui__warning("The %s file can't be used: %s\n%s",
					    symbol_conf.vmlinux_name, serr, msg);
			} else {
				ui__warning("A vmlinux file was not found.\n%s",
					    msg);
			}

			if (use_browser <= 0)
				sleep(5);
			top->vmlinux_warned = true;
		}
	}

When I fire up a compilation on sparc, this triggers immediately.

I'm trying to figure out what the "backup to kernel map" code is
accomplishing.

I see some language in the current code and in the changes that have
happened in this area talking about vdso.  Does that really happen?

The vdso is mapped into userspace virtual addresses, not kernel ones.

More history.  This didn't cause problems on sparc some time ago,
because the kernel IP check used to be "ip < 0" :-) Sparc kernel
addresses are not negative.  But now with machine__kernel_ip(), which
works using the symbol table determined kernel address range, it does
trigger.

What it all boils down to is that on architectures like sparc,
machine__kernel_ip() should always return false in this scenerio, and
therefore this kind of logic:

		if (cpumode == PERF_RECORD_MISC_USER && machine &&
		    mg != &machine->kmaps &&
		    machine__kernel_ip(machine, al->addr)) {

is basically invalid.  PERF_RECORD_MISC_USER implies no kernel address
can possibly match for the sample/event in question (no matter how
hard you try!) :-)
</>

So, I thought something had changed and in the past we would somehow
find that address in the kallsyms, but I couldn't find anything to back
that up, the patch introducing this is over a decade old, lots of things
changed, so I was just thinking I was missing something.

I tried a gtod busy loop to generate vdso activity and added a 'perf
probe' at that branch, on x86_64 to see if it ever gets hit:

Made thread__find_map() noinline, as 'perf probe' in lines of inline
functions seems to not be working, only at function start. (Masami?)

  # perf probe -x ~/bin/perf -L thread__find_map:57
  <thread__find_map@/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/util/event.c:57>
     57                 if (cpumode == PERF_RECORD_MISC_USER && machine &&
     58                     mg != &machine->kmaps &&
     59                     machine__kernel_ip(machine, al->addr)) {
     60                         mg = &machine->kmaps;
     61                         load_map = true;
     62                         goto try_again;
                        }
                } else {
                        /*
                         * Kernel maps might be changed when loading
                         * symbols so loading
                         * must be done prior to using kernel maps.
                         */
     69                 if (load_map)
     70                         map__load(al->map);
     71                 al->addr = al->map->map_ip(al->map, al->addr);

  # perf probe -x ~/bin/perf thread__find_map:60
  Added new event:
    probe_perf:thread__find_map (on thread__find_map:60 in /home/acme/bin/perf)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

	perf record -e probe_perf:thread__find_map -aR sleep 1

  #

  Then used this to see if, system wide, those probe points were being hit:

  # perf trace -e *perf:thread*/max-stack=8/
  ^C[root@jouet ~]#

  No hits when running 'perf top' and:

  # cat gtod.c
  #include <sys/time.h>

  int main(void)
  {
	struct timeval tv;

	while (1)
		gettimeofday(&tv, 0);

	return 0;
  }
  [root@jouet c]# ./gtod
  ^C

  Pressed 'P' in 'perf top' and the [vdso] samples are there:

  I added a 'perf probe' to thread__find_map:69, and that surely got tons
  of hits, i.e. for every map found, just to make sure the 'perf probe'
  command was really working.

  In the process I noticed a bug, we're only have records for '[vdso]' for
  pre-existing commands, i.e. ones that are running when we start 'perf top',
  when we will generate the PERF_RECORD_MMAP by looking at /perf/PID/maps.

  I.e. like this, for preexisting processes with a vdso map, again,
  tracing for all the system, only pre-existing processes get a [vdso] map
  (when having one):

  [root@jouet ~]# perf probe -x ~/bin/perf __machine__addnew_vdso
  Added new event:
  probe_perf:__machine__addnew_vdso (on __machine__addnew_vdso in /home/acme/bin/perf)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

	perf record -e probe_perf:__machine__addnew_vdso -aR sleep 1

  [root@jouet ~]# perf trace -e probe_perf:__machine__addnew_vdso/max-stack=8/
     0.000 probe_perf:__machine__addnew_vdso:(568eb3)
                                       __machine__addnew_vdso (/home/acme/bin/perf)
                                       map__new (/home/acme/bin/perf)
                                       machine__process_mmap2_event (/home/acme/bin/perf)
                                       machine__process_event (/home/acme/bin/perf)
                                       perf_event__process (/home/acme/bin/perf)
                                       perf_tool__process_synth_event (/home/acme/bin/perf)
                                       perf_event__synthesize_mmap_events (/home/acme/bin/perf)
                                       __event__synthesize_thread (/home/acme/bin/perf)

The kernel is generating a PERF_RECORD_MMAP for vDSOs, but somehow
'perf top' is not getting those records while 'perf record' is:

  #

The patch is the obvious one and with it we also continue to resolve
vdso symbols for pre-existing processes in 'perf top' and for all
processes in 'perf record' + 'perf report/script'.

      When the function name for an inline frame is invalid, we must not try
to demangle this symbol, otherwise we crash with:

      at util/srcline.c:358

So instead handle the case where we get invalid function names for
inlined frames and use a fallback '??' function name instead.

While this crash was originally reported by Hadrien for rust code, I can
now also reproduce it with trivial C++ code. Indeed, it seems like
libbfd fails to interpret the debug information for the inline frame
symbol name:

  $ addr2line -e /home/milian/.debug/.build-id/f7/186d14bb94f3c6161c010926da66033d24fce5/elf -if b48

      perf/x86/intel: Export mem events only if there's PEBS support · d4ae5529
      Jiri Olsa authored 
      Memory events depends on PEBS support and access to LDLAT MSR, but we
display them in /sys/devices/cpu/events even if the CPU does not
provide those, like for KVM guests.

That brings the false assumption that those events should be
available, while they fail event to open.

Separating the mem-* events attributes and merging them with
cpu_events only if there's PEBS support detected.

We could also check if LDLAT MSR is available, but the PEBS check
seems to cover the need now.

      perf tools: Fix tracing_path_mount proper path · c458a620
      Jiri Olsa authored 
      If there's no tracefs (RHEL7) support the tracing_path_mount
returns debugfs path which results in following fail:

  # perf probe sys_write
  kprobe_events file does not exist - please rebuild kernel with CONFIG_KPROBE_EVENTS.
  Error: Failed to add events.

In tracing_path_debugfs_mount function we need to return the
'tracing' path instead of just the mount to make it work:

  # perf probe sys_write
  Added new event:
    probe:sys_write      (on sys_write)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

          perf record -e probe:sys_write -aR sleep 1

Adding the 'return tracing_path;' also to tracing_path_tracefs_mount
function just for consistency with tracing_path_debugfs_mount.

Upstream keeps working, because it has the tracefs support.

      perf tools: Fix use of alternatives to find JDIR · 36b8d462
      Jarod Wilson authored 
      When a build is run from something like a cron job, the user's $PATH is
rather minimal, of note, not including /usr/sbin in my own case. Because
of that, an automated rpm package build ultimately fails to find
libperf-jvmti.so, because somewhere within the build, this happens...

  /bin/sh: alternatives: command not found
  /bin/sh: alternatives: command not found
  Makefile.config:849: No openjdk development package found, please install
  JDK package, e.g. openjdk-8-jdk, java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel

...and while the build continues, libperf-jvmti.so isn't built, and
things fall down when rpm tries to find all the %files specified. Exact
same system builds everything just fine when the job is launched from a
login shell instead of a cron job, since alternatives is in $PATH, so
openjdk is actually found.

The test required to get into this section of code actually specifies
the full path, as does a block just above it, so let's do that here too.

      John reported crash when recording on an event under PMU with cpumask defined:

We synthesize an update event that needs to touch the evsel id array, which is
not defined at that time. Fixing this by forcing the id allocation for events
with their own cpus.

      afs: Fix clearance of reply · f0a7d188
      David Howells authored 
      The recent patch to fix the afs_server struct leak didn't actually fix the
bug, but rather fixed some of the symptoms.  The problem is that an
asynchronous call that holds a resource pointed to by call->reply[0] will
find the pointer cleared in the call destructor, thereby preventing the
resource from being cleaned up.

In the case of the server record leak, the afs_fs_get_capabilities()
function in devel code sets up a call with reply[0] pointing at the server
record that should be altered when the result is obtained, but this was
being cleared before the destructor was called, so the put in the
destructor does nothing and the record is leaked.

Commit f014ffb0 removed the additional ref obtained by
afs_install_server(), but the removal of this ref is actually used by the
garbage collector to mark a server record as being defunct after the record
has expired through lack of use.

The offending clearance of call->reply[0] upon completion in
afs_process_async_call() has been there from the origin of the code, but
none of the asynchronous calls actually use that pointer currently, so it
should be safe to remove (note that synchronous calls don't involve this
function).

Fix this by the following means:

 (1) Revert commit f014ffb0.

 (2) Remove the clearance of reply[0] from afs_process_async_call().

Without this, afs_manage_servers() will suffer an assertion failure if it
sees a server record that didn't get used because the usage count is not 1.

Fixes: f014ffb0 ("afs: Fix afs_server struct leak")
Fixes: 08e0e7c8 ("[AF_RXRPC]: Make the in-kernel AFS filesystem use AF_RXRPC.")

      sparc64: Set %l4 properly on trap return after handling signals. · d1f1f98c
      David S. Miller authored 
      If we did some signal processing, we have to reload the pt_regs
tstate register because it's value may have changed.

In doing so we also have to extract the %pil value contained in there
anre load that into %l4.

This value is at bit 20 and thus needs to be shifted down before we
later write it into the %pil register.

Most of the time this is harmless as we are returning to userspace
and the %pil is zero for that case.
