      perf/scripts: Add syscall tracing scripts · 4d161f03
      Tom Zanussi authored
      Adds a set of scripts that aggregate system call totals and system
      call errors.  Most are Python scripts that also test basic
      functionality of the new Python engine, but there's also one Perl
      script added for comparison and for reference in some new
      Documentation contained in a later patch.

      perf/scripts: Remove check-perf-trace from listed scripts · 266fe2f2
      Tom Zanussi authored
      The check-perf-trace script only checks Perl functionality, and
      doesn't really need to be listed as as user script anyway.
      
      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

      perf/scripts: Fix supported language listing option · f526d68b
      Tom Zanussi authored
      '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.

      perf top: Use address pattern in lookup_sym_source · 5f485364
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      Because we may have aliases, like __GI___strcoll_l in
      /lib64/libc-2.10.2.so that appears in objdump as:
      
      $ objdump --start-address=0x0000003715a86420 \
                 --stop-address=0x0000003715a872dc -dS /lib64/libc-2.10.2.so
      
      0000003715a86420 <__strcoll_l>:
        3715a86420:	55                   	push   %rbp
        3715a86421:	48 89 e5             	mov    %rsp,%rbp

      [root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]#
      
      So look for the address exactly at the start of the line instead
      so that annotation can work for in these cases.

      perf top: Fix annotate for userspace · ee11b90b
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      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.

      Since mcount function can be called from everywhere,
      it should be blacklisted. Moreover, the "mcount" symbol

      perf_events, x86: Fix bug in hw_perf_enable() · 447a194b
      Stephane Eranian authored
      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.

      ftrace/alternatives: Introducing *_text_reserved functions · 2cfa1978
      Masami Hiramatsu authored
      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.

      perf top: Teach it to autolocate vmlinux · 6cff0e8d
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      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.

      perf annotate: Fix it for non-prelinked *.so · 7a2b6209
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      The problem was we were incorrectly calculating objdump
      addresses for sym->start and sym->end, look:
      
      For simple ET_DYN type DSO (*.so) with one function, objdump -dS
      output is something like this:
      
          000004ac <my_strlen>:
          int my_strlen(const char *s)
           4ac:   55                      push   %ebp
           4ad:   89 e5                   mov    %esp,%ebp
           4af:   83 ec 10                sub    $0x10,%esp
          {
      
      i.e. we have relative-to-dso-mapping IPs (=RIP) there.
      
      For ET_EXEC type and probably for prelinked libs as well (sorry
      can't test - I don't use prelink) objdump outputs absolute IPs,
      e.g.
      
          08048604 <zz_strlen>:
          extern "C"
          int zz_strlen(const char *s)
           8048604:       55                      push   %ebp
           8048605:       89 e5                   mov    %esp,%ebp
           8048607:       83 ec 10                sub    $0x10,%esp
          {
      
      So, if sym->start is always relative to dso mapping(*), we'll
      have to unmap it for ET_EXEC like cases, and leave as is for
      ET_DYN cases.
      
      (*) and it is - we've explicitely made it relative. Look for
          adjust_symbols handling in dso__load_sym()
      
      Previously we were always unmapping sym->start and for ET_DYN
      dsos resulting addresses were wrong, and so objdump output was
      empty.
      
      The end result was that perf annotate output for symbols from
      non-prelinked *.so had always 0.00% percents only, which is
      wrong.
      
      To fix it, let's introduce a helper for converting rip to
      objdump address, and also let's document what map_ip() and
      unmap_ip() do -- I had to study sources for several hours to
      understand it.

      perf symbols: Remove perf_session usage in symbols layer · 9de89fe7
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      I noticed while writing the first test in 'perf regtest' that to
      just test the symbol handling routines one needs to create a
      perf session, that is a layer centered on a perf.data file,
      events, etc, so I untied these layers.
      
      This reduces the complexity for the users as the number of
      parameters to most of the symbols and session APIs now was
      reduced while not adding more state to all the map instances by
      only having data that is needed to split the kernel (kallsyms
      and ELF symtab sections) maps and do vmlinux relocation on the
      main kernel map.
