      perf probe: Search both .eh_frame and .debug_frame sections for probe location · 270bde1e
      Hemant Kumar authored 
      'perf probe' through debuginfo__find_probes() in util/probe-finder.c
checks for the functions' frame descriptions in either .eh_frame section
of an ELF or the .debug_frame.

The check is based on whether either one of these sections is present.
Depending on distro, toolchain defaults, architetcutre, build flags,
etc., CFI might be found in either .eh_frame and/or .debug_frame.
Sometimes, it may happen that, .eh_frame, even if present, may not be
complete and may miss some descriptions.

Therefore, to be sure, to find the CFI covering an address we will
always have to investigate both if available.

For e.g., in powerpc, this may happen:
  $ gcc -g bin.c -o bin

  $ objdump --dwarf ./bin
  <1><145>: Abbrev Number: 7 (DW_TAG_subprogram)
     <146> DW_AT_external   : 1
     <146> DW_AT_name       : (indirect string, offset: 0x9e): main
     <14a> DW_AT_decl_file  : 1
     <14b> DW_AT_decl_line  : 39
     <14c> DW_AT_prototyped : 1
     <14c> DW_AT_type       : <0x57>
     <150> DW_AT_low_pc     : 0x100007b8

If the .eh_frame and .debug_frame are checked for the same binary, we
will find that, .eh_frame (although present) doesn't contain a
description for "main" function.

But, .debug_frame has a description:

  000000d8 00000024 00000000 FDE cie=00000000 pc=100007b8..10000838
    DW_CFA_advance_loc: 16 to 100007c8
    DW_CFA_def_cfa_offset: 144
    DW_CFA_offset_extended_sf: r65 at cfa+16
  ...

Due to this (since, perf checks whether .eh_frame is present and goes on
searching for that address inside that frame), perf is unable to process
the probes:

  # perf probe -x ./bin main
    Failed to get call frame on 0x100007b8
    Error: Failed to add events.

To avoid this issue, we need to check both the sections (.eh_frame and
.debug_frame), which is done in this patch.

Note that, we can always force everything into both .eh_frame and
.debug_frame by:

  $ gcc bin.c -fasynchronous-unwind-tables  -fno-dwarf2-cfi-asm -g -o bin

      perf tools: Fix thread lifetime related segfaut in intel_pt · 3a4acda1
      Adrian Hunter authored 
      intel_pt_process_auxtrace_info() creates a pt->unknown_thread thread
that eventually needs to be freed by the last thread__put() on it, when
its refcount hits zero, which may happen in
intel_pt_process_auxtrace_info() error handling path and triggers the
following segfault, which would happen as well at intel_pt_free, when
tools using this intel_pt codebase frees up resources:

  # perf record -I -e intel_pt/tsc=1,noretcomp=1/u /bin/ls
  0  a  anaconda-ks.cfg  bin   perf.data	perf.data.old  perf-f23-bringup.todo
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.217 MB perf.data ]
  #
  # perf script -F event,comm,pid,tid,time,addr,ip,sym,dso,iregs
  Samples for 'instructions:u' event do not have IREGS attribute set. Cannot print 'iregs' field.
  intel_pt_synth_events: failed to synthesize 'instructions' event type
  Segmentation fault (core dumped)
  #

The problem is: there's a union in 'struct thread' combines a list_head
and a rb_node. The standard life cycle of a thread is: init rb_node in
the constructor, insert it into machine->threads rbtree using rb_node,
move it to machine->dead_threads using list_head, clean in the last
thread__put: list_del_init(&thread->node).

In the above command, it clean a thread before adding it into list,
causes the above segfault.

Since pt->unknown_thread will never live in an rbtree, initialize its
list node so that when list_del_init() is done on it we don't segfault.

After this patch:

  # perf script -F event,comm,pid,tid,time,addr,ip,sym,dso,iregs
  Samples for 'instructions:u' event do not have IREGS attribute set. Cannot print 'iregs' field.
  intel_pt_synth_events: failed to synthesize 'instructions' event type

      perf hists browser: Fix percent display in callchains · 59c624e2
      Namhyung Kim authored 
      When there's only a single callchain, perf doesn't print its percentage
in front of the symbols.  This is because it assumes that the percentage
is same as parents.  But if a percent limit is applied, it's possible
that there are actually a couple of child nodes but only one of them is
shown.  In this case it should display the percent to prevent
misunderstanding of its percentage is same as the parent's.

For example, let's see the following callchain.

  $ perf report --no-children --percent-limit 0.01 --tui
  ...
  -    0.06%  sleep    [kernel.vmlinux]    [k] kmem_cache_alloc_trace
       kmem_cache_alloc_trace
     - perf_event_mmap
        - 0.04% mmap_region
             do_mmap_pgoff
           - vm_mmap_pgoff
              + 0.02% sys_mmap_pgoff
              + 0.02% vm_mmap
           + 0.02% mprotect_fixup

Current code omits the percent if 'mmap_region' becomes the only node
when percent limit is set to 0.03%, its percent is not 0.06% but users
will assume it incorrectly.

Before:

  $ perf report --no-children --percent-limit 0.03 --tui
  ...
     0.06%  sleep    [kernel.vmlinux]    [k] kmem_cache_alloc_trace
       kmem_cache_alloc_trace
     - perf_event_mmap
        - mmap_region
          do_mmap_pgoff
          vm_mmap_pgoff

After:

  $ perf report --no-children --percent-limit 0.03 --tui
  ...
     0.06%  sleep    [kernel.vmlinux]    [k] kmem_cache_alloc_trace
       kmem_cache_alloc_trace
     - perf_event_mmap
        - 0.04% mmap_region
             do_mmap_pgoff
             vm_mmap_pgoff

      The commit 8c430a34 ("perf hists browser: Support folded

To fix that, factor out callchain printing code and rename the existing
function which prints graph-style callchain.
