perf db-export: Add calls parent_id to enable creation of call trees · f435887e

Adrian Hunter authored Feb 28, 2019

The call_path can be used to find the parent symbol for a call but not
the exact parent call. To do that add parent_id to the call_return
export. This enables the creation of a call tree from the exported data.

perf intel-pt: Fix divide by zero when TSC is not available · 07633387

Adrian Hunter authored Mar 01, 2019

When TSC is not available, "timeless" decoding is used but a divide by
zero occurs if perf_time_to_tsc() is called.

Ensure the divisor is not zero.

perf auxtrace: Improve address filter error message when there is no DSO · c1c49204

Adrian Hunter authored Mar 01, 2019

The message does not indicate the possibility that the symbol is not
found because the file does not exist.

Before:

  $ perf record -e intel_pt//u --filter 'filter strcmp / strcpy @ foo ' ls
  Symbol 'strcmp' not found.
  Note that symbols must be functions.
  Failed to parse address filter: 'filter strcmp / strcpy @ foo '
  Filter format is: filter|start|stop|tracestop <start symbol or address> [/ <end symbol or size>] [@<file name>]
  Where multiple filters are separated by space or comma.

After:

  $ perf record -e intel_pt//u --filter 'filter strcmp / strcpy @ foo ' ls
  File 'foo' not found or has no symbols.
  Symbol 'strcmp' not found.
  Note that symbols must be functions.
  Failed to parse address filter: 'filter strcmp / strcpy @ foo '
  Filter format is: filter|start|stop|tracestop <start symbol or address> [/ <end symbol or size>] [@<file name>]
  Where multiple filters are separated by space or comma.

perf time-utils: Refactor time range parsing code · 284c4e18

Jin Yao authored Mar 01, 2019

Jiri points out that we don't need any time checking and time string
parsing if the --time option is not set. That makes sense.

This patch refactors the time range parsing code, move the duplicated
code from perf report and perf script to time_utils and check if --time
option is set before parsing the time string. This patch is no logic
change expected. So the usage of --time is same as before.

For example:

Select the first and second 10% time slices:
  perf report --time 10%/1,10%/2
  perf script --time 10%/1,10%/2

Select the slices from 0% to 10% and from 30% to 40%:
  perf report --time 0%-10%,30%-40%
  perf script --time 0%-10%,30%-40%

Select the time slices from timestamp 3971 to 3973
  perf report --time 3971,3973
  perf script --time 3971,3973

Committer testing:

Using the above examples, check before and after to see if it remains
the same:

  $ perf record -F 10000 -- find . -name "*.[ch]" -exec cat {} + > /dev/null
  [ perf record: Woken up 3 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.626 MB perf.data (42392 samples) ]
  $
  $ perf report --time 10%/1,10%/2 > /tmp/report.before.1
  $ perf script --time 10%/1,10%/2 > /tmp/script.before.1
  $ perf report --time 0%-10%,30%-40% > /tmp/report.before.2
  $ perf script --time 0%-10%,30%-40% > /tmp/script.before.2
  $ perf report --time 180457.375844,180457.377717 > /tmp/report.before.3
  $ perf script --time 180457.375844,180457.377717 > /tmp/script.before.3

For example, the 3rd test produces this slice:

  $ cat /tmp/script.before.3
        cat  3147 180457.375844:   2143 cycles:uppp:      7f79362590d9 cfree@GLIBC_2.2.5+0x9 (/usr/lib64/libc-2.28.so)

perf: Mark expected switch fall-through · 10c3405f

Gustavo A. R. Silva authored Feb 12, 2019

In preparation to enabling -Wimplicit-fallthrough, mark switch cases
where we are expecting to fall through.

This patch fixes the following warning:

  kernel/events/core.c: In function ‘perf_event_parse_addr_filter’:
  kernel/events/core.c:9154:11: warning: this statement may fall through [-Wimplicit-fallthrough=]
      kernel = 1;
      ~~~~~~~^~~
  kernel/events/core.c:9156:3: note: here
     case IF_SRC_FILEADDR:
     ^~~~

Warning level 3 was used: -Wimplicit-fallthrough=3

This patch is part of the ongoing efforts to enable -Wimplicit-fallthrough.

Fix buffer overflow observed when running perf test.

The overflow is when trying to evaluate "1ULL << (64 - 1)" which is
resulting in -9223372036854775808 which overflows the 20 character
buffer.

If is possible this bug has been reported before but I still don't see

perf probe: Clarify error message about not finding kernel modules debuginfo · 4d6101f5

'perf probe' supports using just the kernel module name, but that will

pointer args payloads that uses BPF maps for pid and syscall filtering,
but will in time have features similar to 'perf stat' --interval-print,
--interval-clear, ways to signal from a BPF event that a specific

histogram, etc.
