<title>perf record: Fix module size on s390</title>

<id>0a9e41e27659430bf64828d7a7d8f57956bece08</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 12a6d2940b5f02b4b9f71ce098e3bb02bc24a9ea upstream.

On s390 the modules loaded in memory have the text segment located after
the GOT and Relocation table. This can be seen with this output:

  [root@m35lp76 perf]# fgrep qeth /proc/modules
  qeth 151552 1 qeth_l2, Live 0x000003ff800b2000
  ...
  [root@m35lp76 perf]# cat /sys/module/qeth/sections/.text
  0x000003ff800b3990
  [root@m35lp76 perf]#

There is an offset of 0x1990 bytes. The size of the qeth module is
151552 bytes (0x25000 in hex).

The location of the GOT/relocation table at the beginning of a module is
unique to s390.

commit 203d8a4aa6ed ("perf s390: Fix 'start' address of module's map")
adjusts the start address of a module in the map structures, but does
not adjust the size of the modules. This leads to overlapping of module
maps as this example shows:

[root@m35lp76 perf] # ./perf report -D
     0 0 0xfb0 [0xa0]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP -1/0: [0x3ff800b3990(0x25000)
          @ 0]:  x /lib/modules/.../qeth.ko.xz
     0 0 0x1050 [0xb0]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP -1/0: [0x3ff800d85a0(0x8000)
          @ 0]:  x /lib/modules/.../ip6_tables.ko.xz

The module qeth.ko has an adjusted start address modified to b3990, but
its size is unchanged and the module ends at 0x3ff800d8990.  This end
address overlaps with the next modules start address of 0x3ff800d85a0.

When the size of the leading GOT/Relocation table stored in the
beginning of the text segment (0x1990 bytes) is subtracted from module
qeth end address, there are no overlaps anymore:

   0x3ff800d8990 - 0x1990 = 0x0x3ff800d7000

which is the same as

   0x3ff800b2000 + 0x25000 = 0x0x3ff800d7000.

To fix this issue, also adjust the modules size in function
arch__fix_module_text_start(). Add another function parameter named size
and reduce the size of the module when the text segment start address is
changed.

Output after:
     0 0 0xfb0 [0xa0]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP -1/0: [0x3ff800b3990(0x23670)
          @ 0]:  x /lib/modules/.../qeth.ko.xz

<title>perf annotate: Fix s390 gap between kernel end and module start</title>

commit b9c0a64901d5bdec6eafd38d1dc8fa0e2974fccb upstream.

During execution of command 'perf top' the error message:

   Not enough memory for annotating '__irf_end' symbol!)

is emitted from this call sequence:
  __cmd_top
    perf_top__mmap_read
      perf_top__mmap_read_idx
        perf_event__process_sample
          hist_entry_iter__add
            hist_iter__top_callback
              perf_top__record_precise_ip
                hist_entry__inc_addr_samples
                  symbol__inc_addr_samples
                    symbol__get_annotation
                      symbol__alloc_hist

In this function the size of symbol __irf_end is calculated. The size of
a symbol is the difference between its start and end address.

When the symbol was read the first time, its start and end was set to:

   symbol__new: __irf_end 0xe954d0-0xe954d0

which is correct and maps with /proc/kallsyms:

   root@s8360046:~/linux-4.15.0/tools/perf# fgrep _irf_end /proc/kallsyms
   0000000000e954d0 t __irf_end
   root@s8360046:~/linux-4.15.0/tools/perf#

In function symbol__alloc_hist() the end of symbol __irf_end is

  symbol__alloc_hist sym:__irf_end start:0xe954d0 end:0x3ff80045a8

which is identical with the first module entry in /proc/kallsyms

This results in a symbol size of __irf_req for histogram analyses of
70334140059072 bytes and a malloc() for this requested size fails.

The root cause of this is function
  __dso__load_kallsyms()
  +-&gt; symbols__fixup_end()

Function symbols__fixup_end() enlarges the last symbol in the kallsyms
map:

   # fgrep __irf_end /proc/kallsyms
   0000000000e954d0 t __irf_end
   #

to the start address of the first module:
   # cat /proc/kallsyms | sort  | egrep ' [tT] '
   ....
   0000000000e952d0 T __security_initcall_end
   0000000000e954d0 T __initramfs_size
   0000000000e954d0 t __irf_end
   000003ff800045a8 T fc_get_event_number       [scsi_transport_fc]
   000003ff800045d0 t store_fc_vport_disable    [scsi_transport_fc]
   000003ff800046a8 T scsi_is_fc_rport  [scsi_transport_fc]
   000003ff800046d0 t fc_target_setup   [scsi_transport_fc]

On s390 the kernel is located around memory address 0x200, 0x10000 or
0x100000, depending on linux version. Modules however start some- where
around 0x3ff xxxx xxxx.

This is different than x86 and produces a large gap for which histogram
allocation fails.

Fix this by detecting the kernel's last symbol and do no adjustment for
it. Introduce a weak function and handle s390 specifics.

[ Upstream commit e45c48a9a4d20ebc7b639a62c3ef8f4b08007027 ]

This patch adds the necessary intelligence to properly compute the value
of 'old' and 'head' when operating in snapshot mode.  That way we can
get the latest information in the AUX buffer and be compatible with the
generic AUX ring buffer mechanic.

Tester notes:

&gt; Leo, have you had the chance to test/review this one? Suzuki?

Sure.  I applied this patch on the perf/core branch (with latest
commit 3e4fbf36c1e3 'perf augmented_raw_syscalls: Move reading
filename to the loop') and passed testing with below steps:

  # perf record -e cs_etm/@tmc_etr0/ -S -m,64 --per-thread ./sort &amp;

[ Upstream commit e45c48a9a4d20ebc7b639a62c3ef8f4b08007027 ]

This patch adds the necessary intelligence to properly compute the value
of 'old' and 'head' when operating in snapshot mode.  That way we can
get the latest information in the AUX buffer and be compatible with the
generic AUX ring buffer mechanic.

Tester notes:

&gt; Leo, have you had the chance to test/review this one? Suzuki?

Sure.  I applied this patch on the perf/core branch (with latest
commit 3e4fbf36c1e3 'perf augmented_raw_syscalls: Move reading
filename to the loop') and passed testing with below steps:

  # perf record -e cs_etm/@tmc_etr0/ -S -m,64 --per-thread ./sort &amp;

<title>perf record: Fix s390 missing module symbol and warning for non-root users</title>

[ Upstream commit 6738028dd57df064b969d8392c943ef3b3ae705d ]

Command 'perf record' and 'perf report' on a system without kernel
debuginfo packages uses /proc/kallsyms and /proc/modules to find
addresses for kernel and module symbols. On x86 this works for root and
non-root users.

On s390, when invoked as non-root user, many of the following warnings
are shown and module symbols are missing:

    proc/{kallsyms,modules} inconsistency while looking for
        "[sha1_s390]" module!

Command 'perf record' creates a list of module start addresses by
parsing the output of /proc/modules and creates a PERF_RECORD_MMAP
record for the kernel and each module. The following function call
sequence is executed:

  machine__create_kernel_maps
    machine__create_module
      modules__parse
        machine__create_module --&gt; for each line in /proc/modules
          arch__fix_module_text_start

Function arch__fix_module_text_start() is s390 specific. It opens
file /sys/module/&lt;name&gt;/sections/.text to extract the module's .text
section start address. On s390 the module loader prepends a header
before the first section, whereas on x86 the module's text section
address is identical the the module's load address.

However module section files are root readable only. For non-root the
read operation fails and machine__create_module() returns an error.
Command perf record does not generate any PERF_RECORD_MMAP record
for loaded modules. Later command perf report complains about missing
module maps.

To fix this function arch__fix_module_text_start() always returns
success. For root users there is no change, for non-root users
the module's load address is used as module's text start address
(the prepended header then counts as part of the text section).

This enable non-root users to use module symbols and avoid the
warning when perf report is executed.

Output before:

  [tmricht@m83lp54 perf]$ ./perf report -D | fgrep MMAP
  0 0x168 [0x50]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP ... x [kernel.kallsyms]_text

Output after:

  [tmricht@m83lp54 perf]$ ./perf report -D | fgrep MMAP
  0 0x168 [0x50]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP ... x [kernel.kallsyms]_text

[ Upstream commit 4787eff3fa88f62fede6ed7afa06477ae6bf984d ]

The tool perf is useful for the performance analysis on the Hygon Dhyana
platform. But right now there is no Hygon support for it to analyze the
KVM guest os data. So add Hygon Dhyana support to it by checking vendor
string to share the code path of AMD.

[ Upstream commit 1c6f709b9f96366cc47af23c05ecec9b8c0c392d ]

Users should never use 'pt=0', but if they do it may give a meaningless
error:

	$ perf record -e intel_pt/pt=0/u uname
	Error:
	The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 22 (Invalid argument) for

Fix that by forcing 'pt=1'.

Committer testing:

  # perf record -e intel_pt/pt=0/u uname
  Error:
  The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 22 (Invalid argument) for event (intel_pt/pt=0/u).
  /bin/dmesg | grep -i perf may provide additional information.

commit ec1891afae740be581ecf5abc8bda74c4549203f upstream.

Some architectures have a single address space for kernel and user
addresses, which makes it possible to determine if an address is in
kernel space or user space. Some don't, e.g.: sparc.

Cache that info in perf_env so that, for instance, code needing to
fallback failed symbol lookups at the kernel space in single address
space arches can lookup at userspace.
