      perf tools: Fix buildid cache handling of kallsyms with kcore · 5b6a42fc
      Adrian Hunter authored
      When kallsyms is used with kcore the dso long_name becomes the kcore
      file name.  That prevents the buildid cache from caching kallsyms.
      (There is no support at present for caching kcore).  Fix by changing it
      so that the kallsyms name is used in that case instead.

      perf annotate: Fix objdump line parsing offset validation · 886b37ba
      Adrian Hunter authored
      When parsing lines from objdump a line containing source code starting
      with a numeric label is mistaken for a line of disassembly starting with
      a memory address.
      
      Current validation fails to recognise that the "memory address" is out
      of range and calculates an invalid offset which later causes this
      segfault:
      
      Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

      perf/x86: Fix uncore PCI fixed counter handling · dbc33f70
      Stephane Eranian authored
      There was a bug in the handling of SNB-EP/IVB-EP uncore PCI
      fixed counters, e.g., IMC.
      
      It would cause erratic values to be returned for the IMC
      clockticks event. This was due to a bogus hwc->config value
      which was then written to PCI config space.
      
      The erratic values can be seen via:
      
        $ perf stat -a -C 0 -e uncore_imc_0/clockticks/ -I 1000 sleep 10
      
      The fixed counter has most fields marked as reserved with
      hw reset values of 0. Yet the kernel was defaulting to a
      hwc->config = ~0 and that was causing the issues.
      
      This patch sets the hwc->config values for fixed uncore event
      to 0. Now, the values of IMC clockticks is correct.

      uprobes: Fix utask->depth accounting in handle_trampoline() · 878b5a6e
      Oleg Nesterov authored
      Currently utask->depth is simply the number of allocated/pending
      return_instance's in uprobe_task->return_instances list.
      
      handle_trampoline() should decrement this counter every time we
      handle/free an instance, but due to typo it does this only if
      ->chained == T. This means that in the likely case this counter
      is never decremented and the probed task can't report more than
      MAX_URETPROBE_DEPTH events.

      perf/x86: Add constraint for IVB CYCLE_ACTIVITY:CYCLES_LDM_PENDING · 6113af14
      Stephane Eranian authored
      The IvyBridge event CYCLE_ACTIVITY:CYCLES_LDM_PENDING can only
      be measured on counters 0-3 when HT is off. When HT is on, you
      only have counters 0-3.
      
      If you program it on the eight counters for 1s on a 3GHz
      IVB laptop running a noploop, you see:
      
                 2 747 527 CYCLE_ACTIVITY:CYCLES_LDM_PENDING
                 2 747 527 CYCLE_ACTIVITY:CYCLES_LDM_PENDING
                 2 747 527 CYCLE_ACTIVITY:CYCLES_LDM_PENDING
                 2 747 527 CYCLE_ACTIVITY:CYCLES_LDM_PENDING
             3 280 563 608 CYCLE_ACTIVITY:CYCLES_LDM_PENDING

             3 280 563 608 CYCLE_ACTIVITY:CYCLES_LDM_PENDING
      
      Clearly the last 4 values are bogus.

      Ingo Molnar authored
      Merge tag 'perf-urgent-for-mingo' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/urgent
      
      Pull perf/urgent fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
      
       * Handle perf.data files with no tracepoints in 'perf trace', fixing a
         segfault.
      
       * Fix up MMAP2 buffer space reservation, a problem that was caught via
         'perf test' consistency tests.
      
       * Add attr->mmap2 support in the tools, a patch that should've been merged
         together with the kernel counterpart:
      
           13d7a241 "perf: Add attr->mmap2 attribute to an event".
      
         Merging it allowed us to catch the MMAP buffer space reservation problem via
         'perf test'. From Stephane Eranian.
      
         The tools deals with older kernels by disabling this feature, resetting the
         perf_event_attr.mmap2 bit, when -EINVAL is returned by perf_event_open, just
         like with perf_event_attr.{sample_id_all,exclude_{guest,host}}.
      
         When such fallback happens the perf_missing_features.mmap2 flag is set to
         true and can be used by tooling that strictly needs this feature to check
         for its availability on the running kernel.
      
       * Make sure we can find PERF_SAMPLE_ID in the variable part of PERF_RECORD_
         ring buffer records in 'perf kvm', where direct manipulation of sample_type
         was being done.

      perf: Fix up MMAP2 buffer space reservation · d008d525
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      The ino_generation field was added in the PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 record in
      the 13d7a241 cset but no space for it was allocated, corrupting the
      PERF_FORMAT_{TIME,CPU,TID,etc} area (sample_type/sample_id_all), fix it.
      
      Detected with one of the regression tests done by 'perf test':

      perf tools: Add attr->mmap2 support · 5c5e854b
      Stephane Eranian authored
      This patch adds support for the new PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 record type
      exposed by the kernel. This is an extended PERF_RECORD_MMAP record.
      
      It adds for each file-backed mapping the device major, minor number and
      the inode number and generation.
      
      This triplet uniquely identifies the source of a file-backed mapping. It
      can be used to detect identical virtual mappings between processes, for
      instance.
      
      The patch will prefer MMAP2 over MMAP.

      Pull perf/urgent fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
      
       * Fix parsing with no sample_id_all bit set, this regression prevents perf
         from reading old perf.data files generated in systems where
         perf_event_attr.sample_id_all isn't available, from Adrian Hunter.
      
       * Add signal checking to the inner 'perf trace' event processing loop, allowing
         faster response to control+C.
      
       * Fix formatting of long symbol names removing the hardcoding of a buffer
         size used to format histogram entries, which was truncating the lines.
      
       * Separate progress bar update when processing events, reducing potentially big
         overhead in not needed TUI progress bar screen updates, from Jiri Olsa.
      
       * Fix 'perf trace' build in architectures where MAP_32BIT is not defined, from
         Kyle McMartin.

      Merge branches 'perf-urgent-for-linus' and 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
      
      Pull perf changes from Ingo Molnar:
       "As a first remark I'd like to point out that the obsolete '-f'
        (--force) option, which has not done anything for several releases,
        has been removed from 'perf record' and related utilities.  Everyone
        please update muscle memory accordingly! :-)
      
        Main changes on the perf kernel side:
      
         - Performance optimizations:
              . for trace events, by Steve Rostedt.
              . for time values, by Peter Zijlstra
      
         - New hardware support:
              . for Intel Silvermont (22nm Atom) CPUs, by Zheng Yan
              . for Intel SNB-EP uncore PMUs, by Zheng Yan
      
         - Enhanced hardware support:
              . for Intel uncore PMUs: add filter support for QPI boxes, by Zheng Yan
      
         - Core perf events code enhancements and fixes:
              . for full-nohz feature handling, by Frederic Weisbecker
              . for group events, by Jiri Olsa
              . for call chains, by Frederic Weisbecker
              . for event stream parsing, by Adrian Hunter
      
         - New ABI details:
              . Add attr->mmap2 attribute, by Stephane Eranian
              . Add PERF_EVENT_IOC_ID ioctl to return event ID, by Jiri Olsa
              . Export u64 time_zero on the mmap header page to allow TSC
                calculation, by Adrian Hunter
              . Add dummy software event, by Adrian Hunter.
              . Add a new PERF_SAMPLE_IDENTIFIER to make samples always
                parseable, by Adrian Hunter.
              . Make Power7 events available via sysfs, by Runzhen Wang.
      
         - Code cleanups and refactorings:
              . for nohz-full, by Frederic Weisbecker
              . for group events, by Jiri Olsa
      
         - Documentation updates:
              . for perf_event_type, by Peter Zijlstra
      
        Main changes on the perf tooling side (some of these tooling changes
        utilize the above kernel side changes):
      
         - Lots of 'perf trace' enhancements:
      
              . Make 'perf trace' command line arguments consistent with
                'perf record', by David Ahern.
      
              . Allow specifying syscalls a la strace, by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.
      
              . Add --verbose and -o/--output options, by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.
      
              . Support ! in -e expressions, to filter a list of syscalls,
                by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.
      
              . Arg formatting improvements to allow masking arguments in
                syscalls such as futex and open, where the some arguments are
                ignored and thus should not be printed depending on other args,
                by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.
      
              . Beautify futex open, openat, open_by_handle_at, lseek and futex
                syscalls, by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.
      
              . Add option to analyze events in a file versus live, so that
                one can do:
      
                 [root@zoo ~]# perf record -a -e raw_syscalls:* sleep 1
                 [ perf record: Woken up 0 times to write data ]
                 [ perf record: Captured and wrote 25.150 MB perf.data (~1098836 samples) ]
                 [root@zoo ~]# perf trace -i perf.data -e futex --duration 1
                    17.799 ( 1.020 ms): 7127 futex(uaddr: 0x7fff3f6c6674, op: 393, val: 1, utime: 0x7fff3f6c6470, ua
                   113.344 (95.429 ms): 7127 futex(uaddr: 0x7fff3f6c6674, op: 393, val: 1, utime: 0x7fff3f6c6470, uaddr2: 0x7fff3f6c6648, val3: 4294967
                   133.778 ( 1.042 ms): 18004 futex(uaddr: 0x7fff3f6c6674, op: 393, val: 1, utime: 0x7fff3f6c6470, uaddr2: 0x7fff3f6c6648, val3: 429496
                 [root@zoo ~]#
      
                By David Ahern.
      
              . Honor target pid / tid options when analyzing a file, by David Ahern.
      
              . Introduce better formatting of syscall arguments, including so
                far beautifiers for mmap, madvise, syscall return values,
                by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.
      
              . Handle HUGEPAGE defines in the mmap beautifier, by David Ahern.
      
         - 'perf report/top' enhancements:
      
              . Do annotation using /proc/kcore and /proc/kallsyms when
                available, removing the forced need for a vmlinux file kernel
                assembly annotation. This also improves this use case because
                vmlinux has just the initial kernel image, not what is actually
                in use after various code patchings by things like alternatives.
                By Adrian Hunter.
      
              . Add --ignore-callees=<regex> option to collapse undesired parts
                of call graphs, by Greg Price.
      
              . Simplify symbol filtering by doing it at machine class level,
                by Adrian Hunter.
      
              . Add support for callchains in the gtk UI, by Namhyung Kim.
      
              . Add --objdump option to 'perf top', by Sukadev Bhattiprolu.
      
         - 'perf kvm' enhancements:
      
              . Add option to print only events that exceed a specified time
                duration, by David Ahern.
      
              . Improve stack trace printing, by David Ahern.
      
              . Update documentation of the live command, by David Ahern
      
              . Add perf kvm stat live mode that combines aspects of 'perf kvm
                stat' record and report, by David Ahern.
      
              . Add option to analyze specific VM in perf kvm stat report, by
                David Ahern.
      
              . Do not require /lib/modules/* on a guest, by Jason Wessel.
      
         - 'perf script' enhancements:
      
              . Fix symbol offset computation for some dsos, by David Ahern.
      
              . Fix named threads support, by David Ahern.
      
              . Don't install scripting files files when perl/python support
                is disabled, by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.
      
         - 'perf test' enhancements:
      
              . Add various improvements and fixes to the "vmlinux matches
                kallsyms" 'perf test' entry, related to the /proc/kcore
                annotation feature. By Adrian Hunter.
      
              . Add sample parsing test, by Adrian Hunter.
      
              . Add test for reading object code, by Adrian Hunter.
      
              . Add attr record group sampling test, by Jiri Olsa.
      
              . Misc testing infrastructure improvements and other details,
                by Jiri Olsa.
      
         - 'perf list' enhancements:
      
              . Skip unsupported hardware events, by Namhyung Kim.
      
              . List pmu events, by Andi Kleen.
      
         - 'perf diff' enhancements:
      
              . Add support for more than two files comparison, by Jiri Olsa.
      
         - 'perf sched' enhancements:
      
              . Various improvements, including removing reliance on some
                scheduler tracepoints that provide the same information as the
                PERF_RECORD_{FORK,EXIT} events. By David Ahern.
      
              . Remove odd build stall by moving a large struct initialization
                from a local variable to a global one, by Namhyung Kim.
      
         - 'perf stat' enhancements:
      
              . Add --initial-delay option to skip measuring for a defined
                startup phase, by Andi Kleen.
      
         - Generic perf tooling infrastructure/plumbing changes:
      
              . Tidy up sample parsing validation, by Adrian Hunter.
      
              . Fix up jobserver setup in libtraceevent Makefile.
                by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.

                by David Ahern.
      
              . Improve robustness of the topology parsing code,
                by Stephane Eranian.
      
              . Add group leader sampling, that allows just one event in a group
                to sample while the other events have just its values read,
                by Jiri Olsa.
      
              . Add support for a new modifier "D", which requests that the
                event, or group of events, be pinned to the PMU.
                By Michael Ellerman.
      
              . Support callchain sorting based on addresses, by Andi Kleen
      
              . Prep work for multi perf data file storage, by Jiri Olsa.
      
              . libtraceevent cleanups, by Namhyung Kim.
      
        And lots and lots of other fixes and code reorganizations that did not
        make it into the list, see the shortlog, diffstat and the Git log for
        details!"
