Add support to display group output for if non grouped events are detected and user forces --group option. Now for non-group events recorded like: $ perf record -e 'cycles,instructions' ls you can still get group output by using --group option in report: $ perf report --group --stdio ... # Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol # ................ ....... ................ ...................... # 17.67% 0.00% ls libc-2.25.so [.] _IO_do_write@@GLIB 15.59% 25.94% ls ls [.] calculate_columns 15.41% 31.35% ls libc-2.25.so [.] __strcoll_l ... Committer note: We should improve on this by making sure that the first line states that this is not a group, but since the user doesn't have to force group view when really using grouped events (e.g. '{cycles,instructions}'), the user better know what is being done...

When we strip the perf binary, dwarf unwind test stop to work. The reason is that strip will remove static function symbols, which we need to check for unwind. This change will keep this test working in cases where the global symbols are put into dynamic symbol table, which is the case on x86. It still won't work on powerpc. Making those 5 local functions global, and adding 'test_dwarf_unwind__' to their names.

Improve error handling when disarming ftrace-based kprobes. Like with arm_kprobe_ftrace(), propagate any errors from disarm_kprobe_ftrace() so that we do not disable/unregister kprobes that are still armed. In other words, unregister_kprobe() and disable_kprobe() should not report success if the kprobe could not be disarmed. disarm_all_kprobes() keeps its current behavior and attempts to disarm all kprobes. It returns the last encountered error and gives a warning if not all probes could be disarmed. This patch is based on Petr Mladek's original patchset (patches 2 and 3) back in 2015, which improved kprobes error handling, found here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/2/26/452 However, further work on this had been paused since then and the patches were not upstreamed.

Improve error handling when arming ftrace-based kprobes. Specifically, if we fail to arm a ftrace-based kprobe, register_kprobe()/enable_kprobe() should report an error instead of success. Previously, this has lead to confusing situations where register_kprobe() would return 0 indicating success, but the kprobe would not be functional if ftrace registration during the kprobe arming process had failed. We should therefore take any errors returned by ftrace into account and propagate this error so that we do not register/enable kprobes that cannot be armed. This can happen if, for example, register_ftrace_function() finds an IPMODIFY conflict (since kprobe_ftrace_ops has this flag set) and returns an error. Such a conflict is possible since livepatches also set the IPMODIFY flag for their ftrace_ops. arm_all_kprobes() keeps its current behavior and attempts to arm all kprobes. It returns the last encountered error and gives a warning if not all probes could be armed. This patch is based on Petr Mladek's original patchset (patches 2 and 3) back in 2015, which improved kprobes error handling, found here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/2/26/452 However, further work on this had been paused since then and the patches were not upstreamed.

Kan Liang authored
perf_top__mmap_read() has a severe performance issue in the Knights Landing/Mill platform, when monitoring heavy load systems. It costs several minutes to finish, which is unacceptable. Currently, 'perf top' uses the non overwrite mode. For non overwrite mode, it tries to read everything in the ringbuffer and doesn't pause it. Once there are lots of samples delivered persistently, the processing time could be very long. Also, the latest samples could be lost when the ringbuffer is full. For overwrite mode, it takes a snapshot for the system by pausing the ringbuffer, which could significantly reduce the processing time. Also, the overwrite mode always keep the latest samples. Considering the real time requirement for 'perf top', the overwrite mode is more suitable for it. Actually, 'perf top' was overwrite mode. It is changed to non overwrite mode since commit 93fc64f1 ("perf top: Switch to non overwrite mode"). It's better to change it back to overwrite mode by default. For the kernel which doesn't support overwrite mode, it will fall back to non overwrite mode. There would be some records lost in overwrite mode because of pausing the ringbuffer. It has little impact for the accuracy of the snapshot and can be tolerated. For overwrite mode, unconditionally wait 100 ms before each snapshot. It also reduces the overhead caused by pausing ringbuffer, especially on light load system. Signed-off-by:

Per-event overwrite term is not forbidden in 'perf top', which can bring problems. Because 'perf top' only support non-overwrite mode now. Add new rules and check regarding to overwrite term for 'perf top'. - All events either have same per-event term or don't have per-event mode setting. Otherwise, it will error out. - Per-event overwrite term should be consistent as opts->overwrite. If not, updating the opts->overwrite according to per-event term. Make it possible to support either non-overwrite or overwrite mode. The overwrite mode is forbidden now, which will be removed when the overwrite mode is supported later. Signed-off-by:

Except for 'perf record', the other perf tools read events one by one from the ring buffer using perf_mmap__read_forward(). But it only supports non-overwrite mode. Introduce perf_mmap__read_event() to support both non-overwrite and overwrite mode. Usage: perf_mmap__read_init() while(event = perf_mmap__read_event()) { //process the event perf_mmap__consume() } perf_mmap__read_done() It cannot use perf_mmap__read_backward(). Because it always reads the stale buffer which is already processed. Furthermore, the forward and backward concepts have been removed. The perf_mmap__read_backward() will be replaced and discarded later. Signed-off-by: -

In perf_mmap__push(), the 'size' need to be recalculated, otherwise the invalid data might be pushed to the record in overwrite mode. The issue is introduced by commit 7fb4b407 ("perf mmap: Don't discard prev in backward mode"). When the ring buffer is full in overwrite mode, backward_rb_find_range() will be called to recalculate the 'start' and 'end'. The 'size' needs to be recalculated accordingly. Unconditionally recalculate the 'size', not just for full ring buffer in overwrite mode. Because: - There is no harmful to recalculate the 'size' for other cases. - The code of calculating 'start' and 'end' will be factored out later. The new function does not need to return 'size'.

Josh Poimboeuf noticed the following bug: "The paranoid exit code only restores the saved CR3 when it switches back to the user GS. However, even in the kernel GS case, it's possible that it needs to restore a user CR3, if for example, the paranoid exception occurred in the syscall exit path between SWITCH_TO_USER_CR3_STACK and SWAPGS." Josh also confirmed via targeted testing that it's possible to hit this bug. Fix the bug by also restoring CR3 in the paranoid_exit_no_swapgs branch. The reason we haven't seen this bug reported by users yet is probably because "paranoid" entry points are limited to the following cases: idtentry double_fault do_double_fault has_error_code=1 paranoid=2 idtentry debug do_debug has_error_code=0 paranoid=1 shift_ist=DEBUG_STACK idtentry int3 do_int3 has_error_code=0 paranoid=1 shift_ist=DEBUG_STACK idtentry machine_check do_mce has_error_code=0 paranoid=1 Amongst those entry points only machine_check is one that will interrupt an IRQS-off critical section asynchronously - and machine check events are rare. The other main asynchronous entries are NMI entries, which can be very high-freq with perf profiling, but they are special: they don't use the 'idtentry' macro but are open coded and restore user CR3 unconditionally so don't have this bug.

Currently, x86_cache_size is of type int, which makes no sense as we will never have a valid cache size equal or less than 0. So instead of initializing this variable to -1, it can perfectly be initialized to 0 and use it as an unsigned variable instead. Suggested-by:
