      Prevent weirdly small window size.
      
      Committer testing:
      
      Seems to work, but even before this patch, on my system, it always
      started with:
      
      xwininfo: Window id: 0x1e00002 "Call Graph: pt_example"
      <SNIP>
        Width: 800

      perf scripts python: call-graph-from-sql.py: Provide better default column sizes · 1d865c06
      Adrian Hunter authored
      Set initial column sizes to improve initial display.
      
      Committer testing:
      
      Extended instructions on testing this, using the sqlite variant:
      
      Make sure you have the SQLite glue for python+Qt installed, on fedora 27
      I used:
      
        # dnf install python-pyside
      
      Collect some PT samples, say 5-secs worth, system wide:
      
        # perf record -r 10 -e intel_pt//u -a sleep 5
        [ perf record: Woken up 49 times to write data ]
        [ perf record: Captured and wrote 96.131 MB perf.data ]
      
      This results in this perf.data file:
      
        # ls -larth perf.data
        -rw-------. 1 root root 97M Oct 23 10:11 perf.data
      
      With the following attributes:
      
        # perf evlist -v
        intel_pt//u: type: 8, size: 112, config: 0x300e601, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 1, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|CPU|IDENTIFIER, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, exclude_kernel: 1, exclude_hv: 1, sample_id_all: 1
        dummy:u: type: 1, size: 112, config: 0x9, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 1, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|CPU|IDENTIFIER, read_format: ID, inherit: 1, exclude_kernel: 1, exclude_hv: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1, context_switch: 1
        #
      
      Then generate the "pt_example" tables using:
      
        # perf script -s ~/libexec/perf-core/scripts/python/export-to-sqlite.py pt_example branches calls

        [root@seventh perf]# ls -lah pt_example
        -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 6.6G Oct 23 11:25 pt_example
        #
      
      Then use this python script to use that db and provide a GUI:
      
        $ python tools/perf/scripts/python/call-graph-from-sql.py pt_example branches calls
      
      I compared the column widths before this patch and after applying it,
      the visual results match the patch intent.

      perf script: Flush output stream after events in verbose mode · 7ee40678
      Milian Wolff authored
      When the perf script output is written to a terminal stream, the normal
      output of `perf script` would get buffered, but its debug output would
      be written directly. This made it quite hard to figure out where a given
      debug output is coming from.
      
      We can improve on this by flushing the output buffer after processing an
      event. To see the value, compare the following output for a `perf script
      -v` run:
      
      Before this patch:
      ```
      unwind: reg 16, val 7faf7dfdc000
      unwind: reg 7, val 7ffc80811e30
      unwind: find_proc_info dso /usr/lib/ld-2.28.so

      unwind: reg 16, val 7faf7dfdc000
      unwind: reg 7, val 7ffc80811e30
      unwind: find_proc_info dso /usr/lib/ld-2.28.so
      unwind: reg 6, val 0
      unwind: _start:ip = 0x7faf7dfdc000 (0x2000)
      unwind: reg 16, val 7faf7dfdc000
      unwind: reg 7, val 7ffc80811e30
      unwind: find_proc_info dso /usr/lib/ld-2.28.so
      unwind: reg 6, val 0
      unwind: _start:ip = 0x7faf7dfdc000 (0x2000)
      unwind: reg 16, val 7faf7dfdc000

      ```
      
      After this patch:
      ```
      ...

      unwind: reg 7, val 7ffc80811e30

      unwind: find_proc_info dso /usr/lib/ld-2.28.so
      unwind: reg 6, val 0
      unwind: _start:ip = 0x7faf7dfdc000 (0x2000)
      cpp-inlining 24617 90229.122043974:          1 cycles:uppp:
                  7faf7dfdc000 _start+0x0 (/usr/lib/ld-2.28.so)
      ...
      ```
      
      This new output format makes it much easier to use perf script output
      for debugging purposes, e.g. to investigate broken dwarf unwinding.

      perf script: Allow extended console debug output · c1c9b969
      Milian Wolff authored
      The script tool isn't using a browser, yet use_browser wasn't set
      explicitly to zero. This in turn lead to confusing output such as:
      
        ```
        $ perf script -vvv ...
        ...
        overlapping maps in /home/milian/foobar (disable tui for more info)
        ...
        ```
      
      Explicitly set use_browser to 0 now, which gives us the extended
      debug information now in perf script as expected.

      perf trace: Drop addr_location refcounts · 4291bf5c
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      When we use machine__resolve() we grab a reference to
      addr_location.thread (and in the future to other elements there) via
      machine__findnew_thread(), so we must pair that with
      addr_location__put(), else we'll never drop that thread when it exits
      and no other remaining data structures have pointers to it. Fix it.

      Because there may be more such events in the ring buffer that should be
      discarded when an app decides to stop considering them.
      
      At some point we'll do this with eBPF, this way we stop them at origin,
      before they are placed in the ring buffer.

      perf evsel: Introduce per event max_events property · 2fda5ada
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      This simply adds the field to 'struct perf_evsel' and allows setting
      it via the event parser, to test it lets trace trace:
      
      First look at where in a function that receives an evsel we can put a probe
      to read how evsel->max_events was setup:
      
        # perf probe -x ~/bin/perf -L trace__event_handler
        <trace__event_handler@/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/builtin-trace.c:0>
              0  static int trace__event_handler(struct trace *trace, struct perf_evsel *evsel,
                                                union perf_event *event __maybe_unused,
                                                struct perf_sample *sample)
              3  {
              4         struct thread *thread = machine__findnew_thread(trace->host, sample->pid, sample->tid);
              5         int callchain_ret = 0;
      
              7         if (sample->callchain) {
              8                 callchain_ret = trace__resolve_callchain(trace, evsel, sample, &callchain_cursor);
              9                 if (callchain_ret == 0) {
             10                         if (callchain_cursor.nr < trace->min_stack)
             11                                 goto out;
             12                         callchain_ret = 1;
                                }
                        }
      
      See what variables we can probe at line 7:
      
        # perf probe -x ~/bin/perf -V trace__event_handler:7
        Available variables at trace__event_handler:7
                @<trace__event_handler+89>
                        int     callchain_ret
                        struct perf_evsel*      evsel
                        struct perf_sample*     sample
                        struct thread*  thread
                        struct trace*   trace
                        union perf_event*       event
      
      Add a probe at that line asking for evsel->max_events to be collected and named
      as "max_events":
      
        # perf probe -x ~/bin/perf trace__event_handler:7 'max_events=evsel->max_events'
        Added new event:
          probe_perf:trace__event_handler (on trace__event_handler:7 in /home/acme/bin/perf with max_events=evsel->max_events)
      
        You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
      
        	perf record -e probe_perf:trace__event_handler -aR sleep 1
      
      Now use 'perf trace', here aliased to just 'trace' and trace trace, i.e.
      the first 'trace' is tracing just that 'probe_perf:trace__event_handler' event,
      while the traced trace is tracing all scheduler tracepoints, will stop at two
      events (--max-events 2) and will just set evsel->max_events for all the sched
      tracepoints to 9, we will see the output of both traces intermixed:
      
        # trace -e *perf:*event_handler trace --max-events 2 -e sched:*/nr=9/
             0.000 :0/0 sched:sched_waking:comm=rcu_sched pid=10 prio=120 target_cpu=000
             0.009 :0/0 sched:sched_wakeup:comm=rcu_sched pid=10 prio=120 target_cpu=000
             0.000 trace/23949 probe_perf:trace__event_handler:(48c34a) max_events=0x9
             0.046 trace/23949 probe_perf:trace__event_handler:(48c34a) max_events=0x9
        #
      
      Now, if the traced trace sends its output to /dev/null, we'll see just
      what the first level trace outputs: that evsel->max_events is indeed
      being set to 9:
      
        # trace -e *perf:*event_handler trace -o /dev/null --max-events 2 -e sched:*/nr=9/
             0.000 trace/23961 probe_perf:trace__event_handler:(48c34a) max_events=0x9
             0.030 trace/23961 probe_perf:trace__event_handler:(48c34a) max_events=0x9
        #
      
      Now that we can set evsel->max_events, we can go to the next step, honour that
      per-event property in 'perf trace'.

      perf trace: Introduce --max-events · 5067a8cd
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      Allow stopping tracing after a number of events take place, considering
      strace-like syscalls formatting as one event per enter/exit pair or when
      in a multi-process tracing session a syscall is interrupted and printed
      ending with '...'.
      
      Examples included in the documentation:
      
      Trace the first 4 open, openat or open_by_handle_at syscalls (in the future more syscalls may match here):
      
        $ perf trace -e open* --max-events 4
        [root@jouet perf]# trace -e open* --max-events 4
        2272.992 ( 0.037 ms): gnome-shell/1370 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: /proc/self/stat) = 31
        2277.481 ( 0.139 ms): gnome-shell/3039 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: /proc/self/stat) = 65
        3026.398 ( 0.076 ms): gnome-shell/3039 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: /proc/self/stat) = 65
        4294.665 ( 0.015 ms): sed/15879 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: /etc/ld.so.cache, flags: CLOEXEC) = 3

      <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

                               * 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);

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

        ^C[root@jouet ~]#
      
        No hits when running 'perf top' and:

        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__process_event (/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:

      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

      The size of the resulting cpu map can be smaller than a multiple of
      sizeof(u64), resulting in SIGBUS on cpus like Sparc as the next event

      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.

      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")

      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.
