2016-04-25perf intel-pt: Fix off-by-one comparison on maximum codeColin Ian King
The check for the maximum code is off-by-one; the current comparison of a code that is INTEL_PT_ERR_MAX will cause the strlcpy to perform an out of bounds array access on the intel_pt_err_msgs array. Fix this with a >= comparison.

2016-03-03x86/asm/decoder: Use explicitly signed charsJosh Poimboeuf
When running objtool on a ppc64le host to analyze x86 binaries, it reports a lot of false warnings like: ipc/compat_mq.o: warning: objtool: compat_SyS_mq_open()+0x91: can't find jump dest instruction at .text+0x3a5 The warnings are caused by the x86 instruction decoder setting the wrong value for the jump instruction's immediate field because it assumes that "char == signed char", which isn't true for all architectures. When converting char to int, gcc sign-extends on x86 but doesn't sign-extend on ppc64le. According to the gcc man page, that's a feature, not a bug: > Each kind of machine has a default for what "char" should be. It is > either like "unsigned char" by default or like "signed char" by > default. > > Ideally, a portable program should always use "signed char" or > "unsigned char" when it depends on the signedness of an object. Conform to the "standards" by changing the "char" casts to "signed char". This results in no actual changes to the object code on x86. Note: the x86 decoder now lives in three different locations in the kernel tree, which are all kept in sync via makefile checks and warnings: in-kernel, perf, and objtool. This fixes all three locations. Eventually we should probably try to at least converge the two separate "tools" locations into a single shared location.

2015-09-28perf intel-pt: Fix potential loop foreverAdrian Hunter
TSC packets contain only 7 bytes of TSC. The 8th byte is assumed to change so infrequently that its value can be inferred. However the logic must cater for a 7 byte wraparound, which it does by adding 1 to the top byte. The existing code was doing that with a while loop even though the addition should only need to be done once. That logic won't work (will loop forever) if TSC wraps around at the 8th byte. Theoretically that would take at least 10 years, unless something else went wrong. And what else could go wrong. Well, if the chunks of trace data are processed out of order, it will make it look like the 7-byte TSC has gone backwards (i.e. wrapped). If that happens 256 times then stuck in the while loop it will be. Fix that by getting rid of the unnecessary while loop.

2015-09-04x86/insn: perf tools: Pedantically tweak opcode map for MPX instructionsAdrian Hunter
The MPX instructions are presently not described in the SDM opcode maps, and there are not encoding characters for bnd registers, address method or operand type. So the kernel opcode map is using 'Gv' for bnd registers and 'Ev' for everything else. That is fine because the instruction decoder does not use that information anyway, except as an indication that there is a ModR/M byte. Nevertheless, in some cases the 'Gv' and 'Ev' are the wrong way around, BNDLDX and BNDSTX have 2 operands not 3, and it wouldn't hurt to identify the mandatory prefixes. This has no effect on the decoding of valid instructions, but the addition of the mandatory prefixes will cause some invalid instructions to error out that wouldn't have previously. Note that perf tools has a copy of the instruction decoder and provides a test for new instructions which includes MPX instructions e.g. $ perf test "x86 ins" 39: Test x86 instruction decoder - new instructions : Ok Or to see the details: $ perf test -v "x86 ins" Commiter notes: And to see these MPX instructions specifically: $ perf test -v "x86 ins" 2>&1 | grep bndldx | head -3 Decoded ok: 0f 1a 00 bndldx (%eax),%bnd0 Decoded ok: 0f 1a 05 78 56 34 12 bndldx 0x12345678,%bnd0 Decoded ok: 0f 1a 18 bndldx (%eax),%bnd3 $ perf test -v "x86 ins" 2>&1 | grep bndstx | head -3 Decoded ok: 0f 1b 00 bndstx %bnd0,(%eax) Decoded ok: 0f 1b 05 78 56 34 12 bndstx %bnd0,0x12345678 Decoded ok: 0f 1b 18 bndstx %bnd3,(%eax) $ Signed-off-by: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Acked-by: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@hitachi.com> Cc: "H.

2015-09-04perf tools: Display build warning if x86 instruction decoder differs from kernelAdrian Hunter
perf tools has a copy of the x86 instruction decoder used by the kernel. The expectation is that the copy will be kept more-or-less in-synch with the kernel version. Consequently it is helpful to know if there are differences. This patch adds a check into the perf tools build so that a diff is done on the sources, and a warning is printed if they are different. Note that the warning is not fatal and the build continues as normal. The check is done as part of building the instruction decoder, so, like a compiler warning, it is not seen unless the instruction decoder has to be re-compiled. e.g. $ make -C tools/perf >/dev/null $ echo "/* blah */" >> tools/perf/util/intel-pt-decoder/inat_types.h $ make -C tools/perf >/dev/null Warning: Intel PT: x86 instruction decoder differs from kernel $ make -C tools/perf >/dev/null $ Signed-off-by: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Acked-by: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@hitachi.com> Cc: "H.

CYC packets provide even finer grain timestamp information than MTC and TSC packets. A CYC packet contains the number of CPU cycles since the last CYC packet. This patch just adds decoder support. The CPU frequency can be related to TSC using the Maximum Non-Turbo Ratio in combination with the CBR (core-to-bus ratio) packet. However more accuracy is achieved by simply interpolating the number of cycles between other timing packets like MTC or TSC. This patch takes the latter approach. Support for a default value and validation of values is provided by a later patch. Also documentation is updated in a separate patch.
