2016-02-02perf probe: Search both .eh_frame and .debug_frame sections for probe locationHemant Kumar
'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 Signed-off-by: Hemant Kumar <hemant@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Acked-by: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@hitachi.com> Cc: linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org Cc: Mark Wielaard <mjw@redhat.com> Cc: Naveen N.

2016-02-02perf tools: Fix thread lifetime related segfaut in intel_ptAdrian Hunter
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.

2016-02-01perf hists: Update hists' total period when adding entriesNamhyung Kim
Currently the hist entry addition path doesn't update total_period of hists and it's calculated during 'resort' path. But the resort path needs to know the total period before doing its job because it's used for calculating percent limit of callchains in hist entries. So this patch update the total period during the addition path. It makes the percent limit of callchains working (again).

Fix by checking before using. Committer note: This doesn't take place in a kernel that supports perf_event_attr.context_switch, that is the default way that will be used for tracking context switches, only in older kernels, like 4.2, in a machine with Intel PT (e.g. Broadwell) for non-priviledged users. Further info from a similar patch by Wang: The error is in tracepoint_error: it assumes the 'e' parameter is valid.

2016-01-29perf kvm/powerpc: Port perf kvm stat to powerpcHemant Kumar
perf kvm can be used to analyze guest exit reasons. This support already exists in x86. Hence, porting it to powerpc. - To trace KVM events : perf kvm stat record If many guests are running, we can track for a specific guest by using --pid as in : perf kvm stat record --pid <pid> - To see the results : perf kvm stat report The result shows the number of exits (from the guest context to host/hypervisor context) grouped by their respective exit reasons with their frequency. Since, different powerpc machines have different KVM tracepoints, this patch discovers the available tracepoints dynamically and accordingly looks for them. If any single tracepoint is not present, this support won't be enabled for reporting. To record, this will fail if any of the events we are looking to record isn't available. Right now, its only supported on PowerPC Book3S_HV architectures. To analyze the different exits, group them and present them (in a slight descriptive way) to the user, we need a mapping between the "exit code" (dumped in the kvm_guest_exit tracepoint data) and to its related Interrupt vector description (exit reason). This patch adds this mapping in book3s_hv_exits.h. It records on two available KVM tracepoints for book3s_hv: "kvm_hv:kvm_guest_exit" and "kvm_hv:kvm_guest_enter". Here is a sample o/p: # pgrep qemu 19378 60515 2 Guests are running on the host. # perf kvm stat record -a ^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 4.153 MB perf.data.guest (39624 samples) ] # perf kvm stat report -p 60515 Analyze events for pid(s) 60515, all VCPUs: VM-EXIT Samples Samples% Time% MinTime MaxTime Avg time SYSCALL 9141 63.67% 7.49% 1.26us 5782.39us 9.87us (+- 6.46%) H_DATA_STORAGE 4114 28.66% 5.07% 1.72us 4597.68us 14.84us (+-20.06%) HV_DECREMENTER 418 2.91% 4.26% 0.70us 30002.22us 122.58us (+-70.29%) EXTERNAL 392 2.73% 0.06% 0.64us 104.10us 1.94us (+-18.83%) RETURN_TO_HOST 287 2.00% 83.11% 1.53us 124240.15us 3486.52us (+-16.81%) H_INST_STORAGE 5 0.03% 0.00% 1.88us 3.73us 2.39us (+-14.20%) Total Samples:14357, Total events handled time:1203918.42us.

2016-01-29perf buildid: Fix cpumode of buildid eventWang Nan
There is a nasty confusion that, for kernel module, dso->kernel is not necessary to be DSO_TYPE_KERNEL or DSO_TYPE_GUEST_KERNEL. These two enums are for vmlinux. See thread [1]. We tried to fix this part but it is costy. Code machine__write_buildid_table() is another unfortunate function fall into this trap that, when issuing buildid event for a kernel module, cpumode it gives to the event is PERF_RECORD_MISC_USER, not PERF_RECORD_MISC_KERNEL. However, even with this bug, most of the time it doesn't causes real problem. I find this issue when trying to use a perf before commit 3d39ac538629 ("perf machine: No need to have two DSOs lists") to parse a perf.data generated by newest perf.

2016-01-15perf kvm record/report: 'unprocessable sample' error while ↵Ravi Bangoria
recording/reporting guest data While recording guest samples in host using perf kvm record, it will populate unprocessable sample error, though samples will be recorded properly. While generating report using perf kvm report, no samples will be processed and same error will populate. We have seen this behaviour with upstream perf(4.4-rc3) on x86 and ppc64 hardware. Reason behind this failure is, when it tries to fetch machine from rb_tree of machines, it fails. As a part of tracing a bug, we figured out that this code was incorrectly refactored in commit 54245fdc3576 ("perf session: Remove wrappers to machines__find"). This patch will change the functionality such that if it can't fetch machine in first trial, it will create one node of machine and add that to rb_tree. So next time when it tries to fetch same machine from rb_tree, it won't fail. Actually it was the case before refactoring of code in aforementioned commit. This patch is generated from acme perf/core branch. Below I've mention an example that demonstrate the behaviour before and after applying patch.

Fallback to lookup the source directory for those poor guys. :) Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1452334589-8782-4-git-send-email-namhyung@kernel.org [ Make perf_tip() return NULL for ENOENT, making the fallback to really take place ] Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
2016-01-12perf tools: Add file_only config option to strlistNamhyung Kim
If strlist_config.dirname is present, the strlist__new() tries to load stirngs from dirname/list file first but if it failes it falls back to add 'list' as string. But sometimes it's not desired so adds new file_only field to prevent it.

2016-01-12perf tools: Fix mmap2 event allocation in synthesize codeWang Nan
perf_event__synthesize_mmap_events() issues mmap2 events, but the memory of that event is allocated using: mmap_event = malloc(sizeof(mmap_event->mmap) + machine->id_hdr_size); If path of mmap source file is long (near PATH_MAX), random crash would happen. Should use sizeof(mmap_event->mmap2). Fix two memory allocations.

2016-01-08perf evlist: Add --trace-fields option to show trace fieldsNamhyung Kim
