If the kernel is compiled with gcc 4.6.0 which supports -mfentry, then use that instead of mcount. With mcount, frame pointers are forced with the -pg option and we get something like: <can_vma_merge_before>: 55 push %rbp 48 89 e5 mov %rsp,%rbp 53 push %rbx 41 51 push %r9 e8 fe 6a 39 00 callq ffffffff81483d00 <mcount> 31 c0 xor %eax,%eax 48 89 fb mov %rdi,%rbx 48 89 d7 mov %rdx,%rdi 48 33 73 30 xor 0x30(%rbx),%rsi 48 f7 c6 ff ff ff f7 test $0xfffffffff7ffffff,%rsi With -mfentry, frame pointers are no longer forced and the call looks like this: <can_vma_merge_before>: e8 33 af 37 00 callq ffffffff81461b40 <__fentry__> 53 push %rbx 48 89 fb mov %rdi,%rbx 31 c0 xor %eax,%eax 48 89 d7 mov %rdx,%rdi 41 51 push %r9 48 33 73 30 xor 0x30(%rbx),%rsi 48 f7 c6 ff ff ff f7 test $0xfffffffff7ffffff,%rsi This adds the ftrace hook at the beginning of the function before a frame is set up, and allows the function callbacks to be able to access parameters. As kprobes now can use function tracing (at least on x86) this speeds up the kprobe hooks that are at the beginning of the function.

The function graph has a test to check if the frame pointer is corrupted, which can happen with various options of gcc with mcount. But this is not an issue with -mfentry as -mfentry does not need nor use frame pointers for function graph tracing. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20120807194059.773895870@goodmis.orgAcked-by: H.

Thanks to Andi Kleen, gcc 4.6.0 now supports -mfentry for x86 (and hopefully soon for other archs). What this does is to have the function profiler start at the beginning of the function instead of after the stack is set up. As plain -pg (mcount) is called after the stack is set up, and in some cases can have issues with the function graph tracer. It also requires frame pointers to be enabled. The -mfentry now calls __fentry__ at the beginning of the function. This allows for compiling without frame pointers and even has the ability to access parameters if needed. If the architecture and the compiler both support -mfentry then use that instead. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20120807194059.392617243@goodmis.orgAcked-by: H.

With gcc 4.6.0 the -mfentry feature places the function profiling call at the start of the function. When this is used, the call is to __fentry__ and not mcount. Change recordmcount.c to record both callers to __fentry__ and mcount. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20120807194058.990674363@goodmis.orgAcked-by: H.

It allows for data passing to the callback functions, as well as reading regs as if a breakpoint were to trigger at function entry. The main goal of this patch series was to allow kprobes to use ftrace as an optimized probe point when a probe is placed on an ftrace nop. With lots of help from Masami Hiramatsu, and going through lots of iterations, we finally came up with a good solution. " Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

Ben Hutchings authored
When we use a separate output directory, we add util/ to the include path for the generated C files. However, this is currently added to the end of the path, behind /usr/include/slang and /usr/include/gtk-2.0 if use of the respective libraries is enabled. Thus the '#include "../perf.h"' in util/parse-events.l can actually include /usr/include/perf.h if it exists. Move '-Iutil/' ahead of all the other preprocessor options.

Use same type for ids everywhere. In case of writing to perf.data the size is u32. In pipe mode it is limited to header.size (less than u16). Adding a size check here.

This patch adds a functionality that allows to create event groups based on the way they are specified on the command line. Adding functionality to the '{}' group syntax introduced in earlier patch. The current '--group/-g' option behaviour remains intact. If you specify it for record/stat/top command, all the specified events become members of a single group with the first event as a group leader. With the new '{}' group syntax you can create group like: # perf record -e '{cycles,faults}' ls resulting in single event group containing 'cycles' and 'faults' events, with cycles event as group leader. All groups are created with regards to threads and cpus. Thus recording an event group within a 2 threads on server with 4 CPUs will create 8 separate groups. Examples (first event in brackets is group leader): # 1 group (cpu-clock,task-clock) perf record --group -e cpu-clock,task-clock ls perf record -e '{cpu-clock,task-clock}' ls # 2 groups (cpu-clock,task-clock) (minor-faults,major-faults) perf record -e '{cpu-clock,task-clock},{minor-faults,major-faults}' ls # 1 group (cpu-clock,task-clock,minor-faults,major-faults) perf record --group -e cpu-clock,task-clock -e minor-faults,major-faults ls perf record -e '{cpu-clock,task-clock,minor-faults,major-faults}' ls # 2 groups (cpu-clock,task-clock) (minor-faults,major-faults) perf record -e '{cpu-clock,task-clock} -e '{minor-faults,major-faults}' \ -e instructions ls # 1 group # (cpu-clock,task-clock,minor-faults,major-faults,instructions) perf record --group -e cpu-clock,task-clock \ -e minor-faults,major-faults -e instructions ls perf record -e '{cpu-clock,task-clock,minor-faults,major-faults,instructions}' ls It's possible to use standard event modifier for a group, which spans over all events in the group and updates each event modifier settings, for example: # perf record -r '{faults:k,cache-references}:p' resulting in ':kp' modifier being used for 'faults' and ':p' modifier being used for 'cache-references' event.

Adding support to update already defined event's attribute with event modifier. This change will allow to use group modifier as an update to the existing event modifiers. Adding 'add' parameter to the parse_events__modifier_event function. Calling it with 'add' = false/true, the event modifier is initialized/updated respectively. Added exclude_GH flag to evsel struct, because we need to remember if one of 'GH' modifiers was used for event. The reason is that the default settings for exclude_guest is 1 and during the group modifier processing we have no other way of knowing if it was set by default or by event modifier. Keeping the current behaviour, that any event/group modifier reset the defaults for exclude_host (0) and exclude_guest (1).

Adding scanner/parser bits to parse event groups. The grammar for group is: groups: groups ',' group | group group: group_name '{' events '}' group_mod group_name: name | empty group_mod: ':' group_mods | empty group_mods: event_mod It's possible to use standard event modifier as a modifier for group. It'll be used as an update to existing event modifiers. It's necessary to use quoting ("'\) when specifying group on command line, since {} characters are interpreted by most of the shells. It is now possible to specify groups in event syntax like: '{cycles,faults}' - anonymous group 'group1{cycles,faults} - group with name 'group1' '{cycles,faults}:k - anonymous group with event modifier 'k' '{cpu-clock,task-clock},{minor-faults,major-faults}' - two anonymous groups The grouping functionality itself is coming shortly.

We keep both a 'runtime' elf image as well as a 'debug' elf image around and generate symbols by looking at both of these. This eliminates the need for the want_symtab/goto restart mechanism combined with iterating over and reopening the elf images a second time. Also give dso__synthsize_plt_symbols() the runtime image (which has dynsyms) instead of the symbol image (which may only have a symtab and no dynsyms). Previously if a debug image was found all runtime images were ignored. This fixes 2 issues: - Symbol resolution to failure on PowerPC systems with debug symbols installed, as the debug images lack a '.opd' section which contains function descriptors. - On all archs, plt synthesis failed when a debug image was loaded and that debug image lacks a dynsym section while a runtime image has a dynsym section. Assumptions: - If a .opd section exists, it is contained in the highest priority image with a dynsym section. - This generally implies that the debug image lacks a dynsym section (ie: it is marked as NO_BITS).

To properly handle platforms with an opd section, both a runtime image (which contains the opd section but possibly lacks symbols) and a symbol image (which probably lacks an opd section but has symbols). The next patch ("perf symbol: use both runtime and debug images") adjusts the callsite in dso__load() to take advantage of being able to pass both runtime & debug images. Assumptions made here: - The opd section, if it exists in the runtime image, has headers in both the runtime image and the debug/syms image. - The index of the opd section (again, only if it exists in the runtime image) is the same in both the runtime and debug/symbols image. Both of these are true on RHEL, but it is unclear how accurate they are in general (on platforms with function descriptors in opd sections).

Only one callsite of dso__load_sym() uses the want_symtab functionality, so place the logic at the callsite instead of within dso__load_sym(). This sets us up for removal of want_symtab completely once we keep multiple elf handles (within symsrc's) around.

In certain cases, dso__load requires dso->symbol_type to be set prior to calling it. With the introduction of symsrc*, the symtab_type is now stored in a symsrc which is then passed to dso__load_sym(). Change dso__load_sym() to use the symtab_type from them symsrc (setting dso->symtab_type as well).

Factors opening of certain sections & tracking certain elf info into an external structure. The goal here is to keep multiple elfs (and their looked up sections/indexes) around during the symbol generation process (in dso__load()). We need this to properly resolve symbols on PPC due to the use of function descriptors & the .opd section (ie: symbols which are functions don't point to their actual location, they point to their function descriptor in .opd which contains their actual location. It would be possible to just keep the (Elf *) around, but then we'd end up with duplicate code for looking up the same sections and checking for the existence of an important section wouldn't be as clean (and we need to keep the Elf stuff confined to symtab-elf.c).

If we call elf_section_by_name() with a truncated elf image (ie: the file header indicates that the section headers are placed past the end of the file), elf_strptr() causes a segfault within libelf. Avoid this by checking that we can access the section string table properly. Should really be fixed in libelf/elfutils.
