perf test: Fix test trace+probe_libc_inet_pton.sh for s390x

2018-02-15T12:57:47+00:00

On Intel test case trace+probe_libc_inet_pton.sh succeeds and the
output is:

[root@f27 perf]# ./perf trace --no-syscalls

              main (/usr/bin/ping)

The kernel stack unwinder is used, it is specified implicitly
as call-graph=fp (frame pointer).

On s390x only dwarf is available for stack unwinding. It is also
done in user space. This requires different parameter setup
and result checking for s390x and Intel.

This patch adds separate perf trace setup and result checking
for Intel and s390x. On s390x specify this command line to
get a call-graph and handle the different call graph result
checking:

perf tools: Get rid of unused 'swapped' parameter from perf_event__synthesize_sample()

2018-01-18T12:01:23+00:00

There is never a need to synthesize a 'swapped' sample, so all callers
to perf_event__synthesize_sample() pass 'false' as the value to
'swapped'. So get rid of the unused 'swapped' parameter.

perf unwind: Do not look just at the global callchain_param.record_mode

2018-01-17T13:23:32+00:00

When setting up DWARF callchains on specific events, without using
'record' or 'trace' --call-graph, but instead doing it like:

	perf trace -e cycles/call-graph=dwarf/

The unwind__prepare_access() call in thread__insert_map() when we
process PERF_RECORD_MMAP(2) metadata events were not being performed,
precluding us from using per-event DWARF callchains, handling them just
when we asked for all events to be DWARF, using "--call-graph dwarf".

We do it in the PERF_RECORD_MMAP because we have to look at one of the
executable maps to figure out the executable type (64-bit, 32-bit) of
the DSO laid out in that mmap. Also to look at the architecture where
the perf.data file was recorded.

All this probably should be deferred to when we process a sample for
some thread that has callchains, so that we do this processing only for
the threads with samples, not for all of them.

For now, fix using DWARF on specific events.

perf test bpf: Hook on epoll_pwait()

2018-01-08T14:11:57+00:00

The 'perf test bpf' was hooking a eBPF program on the SyS_epoll_wait()
kernel function, that was what the epoll_wait() glibc function ended up
calling, but since at least glibc 2.26, the one that comes with, for
instance, Fedora 27, glibc ends up calling SyS_epoll_pwait() when
epoll_wait() is used, causing this 'perf test' entry to fail.

So switch to using epoll_pwait() and hook the eBPF program to the
SyS_epoll_pwait() kernel function to make it work on a wider range of
glibc and kernel versions.

perf test bpf: Improve message about expected samples

When failing on one of the BPF tests we were just stating:

  BPF filter result incorrect

Add some more info to help figuring out the problem:

 BPF filter result incorrect, expected 56, got 0 samples

This came out while investigating this failure, first seen after
updating the kernel to the 4.15.0-rc6 tag:

perf test shell: Fix check open filename arg using 'perf trace'

2017-12-27T15:15:56+00:00

Commit f231af789b11 ("perf test shell: Fix check open filename arg using
'perf trace' on s390x") added an exception for s390x to use openat()
instead of open() in the test that intercepts a open syscall to look for
the filename argument as obtained by the vfs_getname 'perf probe' it
puts in place at the getname_flags kernel function.

Its not just s390x that uses openat() instead of open(), so use 'perf
list' to look for the syscall:sys_enter_open(at)? present in the system
being tested instead of checking if the system is s390x.

In fact Namhyung pointed out that glibc 2.26 changed this behaviour, as
described in https://lwn.net/Articles/738694/, so systems where glibc is
>= 2.26 will need this patch for this test to work, which already took
place in some distros for architectures such as s390x, while Fedora 26
x86_64 is at glibc 2.25, i.e. still uses open().
