perf script: Fix --reltime with --time

2020-01-23T07:23:01+00:00

[ Upstream commit b3509b6ed7a79ec49f6b64e4f3b780f259a2a468 ]

My earlier patch to just enable --reltime with --time was a little too
optimistic.  The --time parsing would accept absolute time, which is
very confusing to the user.

Support relative time in --time parsing too. This only works with recent
perf record that records the first sample time. Otherwise we error out.

perf script: Allow --time with --reltime

2020-01-23T07:23:00+00:00

commit 3714437d3fcc7956cabcb0077f2a506b61160a56 upstream.

The original --reltime patch forbid --time with --reltime.

But it turns out --time doesn't really care about --reltime, because the
relative time is only used at final output, while the time filtering
always works earlier on absolute time.

So just remove the check and allow combining the two options.

perf script: Fix brstackinsn for AUXTRACE

2020-01-04T18:18:27+00:00

[ Upstream commit 0cd032d3b5fcebf5454315400ab310746a81ca53 ]

brstackinsn must be allowed to be set by the user when AUX area data has
been captured because, in that case, the branch stack might be
synthesized on the fly. This fixes the following error:

perf script: Fix invalid LBR/binary mismatch error

2019-12-13T07:43:31+00:00

[ Upstream commit 5172672da02e483d9b3c4d814c3482d0c8ffb1a6 ]

The 'len' returned by grab_bb() includes an extra MAXINSN bytes to allow
for the last instruction, so the the final 'offs' will not be 'len'.
Fix the error condition logic accordingly.

perf script brstackinsn: Fix recovery from LBR/binary mismatch

2019-09-30T20:29:52+00:00

When the LBR data and the instructions in a binary do not match the loop
printing instructions could get confused and print a long stream of
bogus  instructions.

The problem was that if the instruction decoder cannot decode an
instruction it ilen wasn't initialized, so the loop going through the
basic block would continue with the previous value.

Harden the code to avoid such problems:

- Make sure ilen is always freshly initialized and is 0 for bad
  instructions.

- Do not overrun the code buffer while printing instructions

- Print a warning message if the final jump is not on an instruction
  boundary.

perf evsel: Introduce evsel_fprintf.h

2019-09-25T19:26:34+00:00

We already had evsel_fprintf.c, add its counterpart, so that we can
reduce evsel.h a bit more.

We needed a new perf_event_attr_fprintf.c file so as to have a separate
object to link with the python binding in tools/perf/util/python-ext-sources
and not drag symbol_conf, etc into the python binding.

perf session: Return error code for perf_session__new() function on failure

2019-09-20T18:58:11+00:00

This patch is to return error code of perf_new_session function on
failure instead of NULL.

Test Results:

Before Fix:

  $ perf c2c report -input
  failed to open nput: No such file or directory

  $ echo $?
  0
  $

After Fix:

  $ perf c2c report -input
  failed to open nput: No such file or directory

  $ echo $?
  254
  $

Committer notes:

Fix 'perf tests topology' case, where we use that TEST_ASSERT_VAL(...,
session), i.e. we need to pass zero in case of failure, which was the
case before when NULL was returned by perf_session__new() for failure,
but now we need to negate the result of IS_ERR(session) to respect that
TEST_ASSERT_VAL) expectation of zero meaning failure.
