perf thread: Add fallback functions for cases where cpumode is insufficient

2019-01-09T16:45:56+00:00

commit 8e80ad9983caeee09c3a0a1a37e05bff93becce4 upstream.

For branch stacks or branch samples, the sample cpumode might not be
correct because it applies only to the sample 'ip' and not necessary to
'addr' or branch stack addresses. Add fallback functions that can be
used to deal with those cases

perf machine: Record if a arch has a single user/kernel address space

2019-01-09T16:45:56+00:00

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.

tools lib traceevent, perf tools: Rename pevent_set_* APIs

2018-08-13T18:22:10+00:00

In order to make libtraceevent into a proper library, variables, data
structures and functions require a unique prefix to prevent name space
conflicts. That prefix will be "tep_" and not "pevent_". This changes
APIs: pevent_set_file_bigendian, pevent_set_flag,
pevent_set_function_resolver, pevent_set_host_bigendian,
pevent_set_long_size, pevent_set_page_size and pevent_get_long_size

perf machine: Create maps for x86 PTI entry trampolines

2018-05-23T13:24:08+00:00

Create maps for x86 PTI entry trampolines, based on symbols found in
kallsyms. It is also necessary to keep track of whether the trampolines
have been mapped particularly when the kernel dso is kcore.

perf machine: Workaround missing maps for x86 PTI entry trampolines

2018-05-22T13:54:22+00:00

On x86_64 the PTI entry trampolines are not in the kernel map created by
perf tools. That results in the addresses having no symbols and prevents
annotation.  It also causes Intel PT to have decoding errors at the
trampoline addresses.

Workaround that by creating maps for the trampolines.

At present the kernel does not export information revealing where the
trampolines are.  Until that happens, the addresses are hardcoded.

2018-04-30T15:20:54+00:00

Since we do not have split symtabs anymore, no need to have explicit
find_kernel_function variants, use the find_kernel_symbol ones.

perf symbols: Unify symbol maps

2018-04-27T13:47:06+00:00

Remove the split of symbol tables for data (MAP__VARIABLE) and for
functions (MAP__FUNCTION), its unneeded and there were various places
doing two lookups to find a symbol, so simplify this.

We still will consider only the symbols that matched the filters in
place, i.e. see the (elf_(sec,sym)|symbol_type)__filter() routines in
the patch, just so that we consider only the same symbols as before,
to reduce the possibility of regressions.

All the tests on 50-something build environments, in varios versions
of lots of distros and cross build environments were performed without
build regressions, as usual with all pull requests the other tests were
also performed: 'perf test' and 'make -C tools/perf build-test'.

Also this was done at a great granularity so that regressions can be
bisected more easily.

perf machine: Remove needless map_type from machine__load_vmlinux_path()

2018-04-26T16:47:11+00:00

Since it uses machine__kernel_map() and this function always returns the
MAP__FUNCTION map, it doesn't make sense to call it with MAP__VARIABLE.

And also this is a step in the direction of nuking the MAP__{FUNCTION,VARIABLE}
split.
