This patch adds correct AMD NorthBridge event scheduling. NB events are events measuring L3 cache, Hypertransport traffic. They are identified by an event code >= 0xe0. They measure events on the Northbride which is shared by all cores on a package. NB events are counted on a shared set of counters. When a NB event is programmed in a counter, the data actually comes from a shared counter. Thus, access to those counters needs to be synchronized. We implement the synchronization such that no two cores can be measuring NB events using the same counters. Thus, we maintain a per-NB allocation table. The available slot is propagated using the event_constraint structure. Signed-off-by:

In certain situations, the kernel may need to stop and start the same event rapidly. The current PMU callbacks do not distinguish between stop and release (i.e., stop + free the resource). Thus, a counter may be released, then it will be immediately re-acquired. Event scheduling will again take place with no guarantee to assign the same counter. On some processors, this may event yield to failure to assign the event back due to competion between cores. This patch is adding a new pair of callback to stop and restart a counter without actually release the underlying counter resource. On stop, the counter is stopped, its values saved and that's it. On start, the value is reloaded and counter is restarted (on x86, actual restart is delayed until perf_enable()). Signed-off-by:

DaveM reported that currently perf interprets the pgoff value reported by the MMAP events as a byte range, but the kernel reports it as a page offset. Since its broken (and unusable) anyway, change the kernel behaviour (ABI) to report bytes indeed, avoiding the need for userspace to deal with PAGE_SIZE things. Reported-by:

This only removes the '-report' shell script, so although it doesn't appear in the listing, the '-record' shell script and the check perf trace perl script itself is still available and can still be run manually as such: $ libexec/perf-core/scripts/perl/bin/check-perf-trace-record $ perf trace -s libexec/perf-core/scripts/perl/check-perf-trace.pl Signed-off-by:

'perf trace -s list' prints a list of the supported scripting languages. One problem with it is that it falls through and prints the trace as well. The use of 'list' for this also makes it easy to confuse with 'perf trace -l', used for listing available scripts. So change 'perf trace -s list' to 'perf trace -s lang' and fixes the fall-through problem. Signed-off-by:

First, for programs and prelinked libraries, annotate code was fooled by objdump output IPs (src->eip in the code) being wrongly converted to absolute IPs. In such case there were no conversion needed, but in src->eip = strtoull(src->line, NULL, 16); src->eip = map->unmap_ip(map, src->eip); // = eip + map->start - map->pgoff we were reading absolute address from objdump (e.g. 8048604) and then almost doubling it, because eip & map->start are approximately close for small programs. Needless to say, that later, in record_precise_ip() there was no matching with real runtime IPs. And second, like with `perf annotate` the problem with non-prelinked *.so was that we were doing rip -> objdump address conversion wrong. Also, because unlike `perf annotate`, `perf top` code does annotation based on absolute IPs for performance reasons(*), new helper for mapping objdump addresse to IP is introduced. (*) we get samples info in absolute IPs, and since we do lots of hit-testing on absolute IPs at runtime in record_precise_ip(), it's better to convert objdump addresses to IPs once and do no conversion at runtime. I also had to fix how objdump output is parsed (with hardcoded 8/16 characters format, which was inappropriate for ET_DYN dsos with small addresses like '4ac') Also note, that not all objdump output lines has associtated IPs, e.g. look at source lines here: 000004ac <my_strlen>: extern "C" int my_strlen(const char *s) 4ac: 55 push %ebp 4ad: 89 e5 mov %esp,%ebp 4af: 83 ec 10 sub $0x10,%esp { int len = 0; 4b2: c7 45 fc 00 00 00 00 movl $0x0,-0x4(%ebp) 4b9: eb 08 jmp 4c3 <my_strlen+0x17> while (*s) { ++len; 4bb: 83 45 fc 01 addl $0x1,-0x4(%ebp) ++s; 4bf: 83 45 08 01 addl $0x1,0x8(%ebp) So we mark them with eip=0, and ignore such lines in annotate lookup code.

We cannot assume that because hwc->idx == assign[i], we can avoid reprogramming the counter in hw_perf_enable(). The event may have been scheduled out and another event may have been programmed into this counter. Thus, we need a more robust way of verifying if the counter still contains config/data related to an event. This patch adds a generation number to each counter on each cpu. Using this mechanism we can verify reliabilty whether the content of a counter corresponds to an event. Signed-off-by:

Introducing *_text_reserved functions for checking the text address range is partially reserved or not. This patch provides checking routines for x86 smp alternatives and dynamic ftrace. Since both functions modify fixed pieces of kernel text, they should reserve and protect those from other dynamic text modifier, like kprobes. This will also be extended when introducing other subsystems which modify fixed pieces of kernel text. Dynamic text modifiers should avoid those. Signed-off-by:

By relying on logic in dso__load_kernel_sym(), we can automatically load vmlinux. The only thing which needs to be adjusted, is how --sym-annotate option is handled - now we can't rely on vmlinux been loaded until full successful pass of dso__load_vmlinux(), but that's not the case if we'll do sym_filter_entry setup in symbol_filter(). So move this step right after event__process_sample() where we know the whole dso__load_kernel_sym() pass is done. By the way, though conceptually similar `perf top` still can't annotate userspace - see next patches with fixes. Signed-off-by:
