<id>4d94b30f55709b6dca93896db0789f719ec005a1</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
     0 0 0x1050 [0xb0]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP -1/0: [0x3ff800d85a0(0x7a60)

<title>perf machine: Update kernel map address and re-order properly</title>

<id>977c7a6d1e263ff1d755f28595b99e4bc0c48a9f</id>
<content type='text'>
Since commit 1fb87b8e9599 ("perf machine: Don't search for active kernel
start in __machine__create_kernel_maps"), the __machine__create_kernel_maps()
just create a map what start and end are both zero. Though the address will be
updated later, the order of map in the rbtree may be incorrect.

The commit ee05d21791db ("perf machine: Set main kernel end address properly")
fixed the logic in machine__create_kernel_maps(), but it's still wrong in
function machine__process_kernel_mmap_event().

To reproduce this issue, we need an environment which the module address
is before the kernel text segment. I tested it on an aarch64 machine with
kernel 4.19.25:

  [root@localhost hulk]# grep _stext /proc/kallsyms
  ffff000008081000 T _stext
  [root@localhost hulk]# grep _etext /proc/kallsyms

Several places were using definitions found in symbols.h but not
including it, getting it by sheer luck from some other headers that now
are in the process of removing that include because they don't need it
or because simply having struct forward declarations is enough, fix it.

Several places were using definitions found in symbols.h but not
including it, getting it by sheer luck from some other headers that now
are in the process of removing that include because they don't need it
or because simply having struct forward declarations is enough, fix it.

<title>perf machine: Use cached rbtrees</title>

At the cost of an extra pointer, we can avoid the O(logN) cost of
finding the first element in the tree (smallest node), which is
something required for nearly every operation dealing with
machine-&gt;guests and threads-&gt;entries.

The conversion is straightforward, however, it's worth noticing that the
rb_erase_init() calls have been replaced by rb_erase_cached() which has
no _init() flavor, however, the node is explicitly cleared next anyway,
which was redundant until now.

<id>45178a928a4b7c6093f6621e627d09909e81cc13</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch adds basic handling of PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT.  Tracking of
PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT is OFF by default. Option --bpf-event is added to
turn it on.

Committer notes:

Add dummy machine__process_bpf_event() variant that returns zero for
systems without HAVE_LIBBPF_SUPPORT, such as Alpine Linux, unbreaking
the build in such systems.

Remove the needless include &lt;machine.h&gt; from bpf-&gt;event.h, provide just
forward declarations for the structs and unions in the parameters, to
reduce compilation time and needless rebuilds when machine.h gets
changed.

Committer testing:

When running with:

 # perf record --bpf-event

On an older kernel where PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT and PERF_RECORD_KSYMBOL
is not present, we fallback to removing those two bits from
perf_event_attr, making the tool to continue to work on older kernels:

  perf_event_attr:

And then proceeds to work without those two features.

As passing --bpf-event is an explicit action performed by the user, perhaps we
should emit a warning telling that the kernel has no such feature, but this can
be done on top of this patch.

Now with a kernel that supports these events, start the 'record --bpf-event -a'
and then run 'perf trace sleep 10000' that will use the BPF
augmented_raw_syscalls.o prebuilt (for another kernel version even) and thus
should generate PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT events:

<title>perf tools: Handle PERF_RECORD_KSYMBOL</title>

<id>9aa0bfa370b278a539077002b3c660468d66b5e7</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch handles PERF_RECORD_KSYMBOL in perf record/report.
Specifically, map and symbol are created for ksymbol register, and
removed for ksymbol unregister.

This patch also sets perf_event_attr.ksymbol properly. The flag is ON by
default.

Committer notes:

Use proper inttypes.h for u64, fixing the build in some environments
like in the android NDK r15c targetting ARM 32-bit.

I.e. fixing this build error:

  util/event.c: In function 'perf_event__fprintf_ksymbol':
  util/event.c:1489:10: error: format '%lx' expects argument of type 'long unsigned int', but argument 3 has type 'u64' [-Werror=format=]
            event-&gt;ksymbol_event.flags, event-&gt;ksymbol_event.name);
            ^
  cc1: all warnings being treated as errors

<title>perf report: Fix wrong iteration count in --branch-history</title>
<updated>2019-01-04T15:54:49+00:00</updated>

<id>a3366db06bb656cef2e03f30f780d93059bcc594</id>
<content type='text'>
By calculating the removed loops, we can get the iteration count.

But the iteration count could be reported incorrectly, reporting
impossibly high counts.

That's because previous code uses the number of removed LBR entries for
the iteration count. That's not good. Fix this by increasing the
iteration count when a loop is detected.

When matching the chain, the iteration count would be added up, finally we need
to compute the average value when printing out.

For example,

  $ perf report --branch-history --stdio --no-children

Before:

  ---f2 +0
     |
     |--33.62%--f1 +9 (cycles:1)
     |          f1 +0
     |          main +22 (cycles:1)
     |          main +17
     |          main +38 (cycles:1)
     |          main +27
     |          f1 +26 (cycles:1)
     |          f1 +24
     |          f2 +27 (cycles:7)
     |          f2 +0
     |          f1 +19 (cycles:1)
     |          f1 +14
     |          f2 +27 (cycles:11)
     |          f2 +0
     |          f1 +9 (cycles:1 iter:2968 avg_cycles:3)
     |          f1 +0
     |          main +22 (cycles:1 iter:2968 avg_cycles:3)
     |          main +17
     |          main +38 (cycles:1 iter:2968 avg_cycles:3)

2968 is an impossible high iteration count and avg_cycles is too small.

After:

  ---f2 +0
     |
     |--33.62%--f1 +9 (cycles:1)
     |          f1 +0
     |          main +22 (cycles:1)
     |          main +17
     |          main +38 (cycles:1)
     |          main +27
     |          f1 +26 (cycles:1)
     |          f1 +24
     |          f2 +27 (cycles:7)
     |          f2 +0
     |          f1 +19 (cycles:1)
     |          f1 +14
     |          f2 +27 (cycles:11)
     |          f2 +0
     |          f1 +9 (cycles:1 iter:1 avg_cycles:23)
     |          f1 +0
     |          main +22 (cycles:1 iter:1 avg_cycles:23)
     |          main +17
     |          main +38 (cycles:1 iter:1 avg_cycles:23)

avg_cycles:23 is the average cycles of this iteration.

The default timeout of 500ms for parsing /proc/&lt;pid&gt;/maps files is too
short for profiling many of our services.

This can be overridden by passing --proc-map-timeout to the relevant
command but it'd be nice to globally increase our default value.

This patch permits setting a different default with the
core.proc-map-timeout config file parameter.
