perf tools: Move event synthesizing routines to separate .c file

2019-09-20T13:28:21+00:00

For better grouping, in time we may end up making most of these static,
i.e. generalizing the 'perf record' synthesizing code so that based on
the target it can do the right thing and call the needed synthesizers.

libperf: Rename the PERF_RECORD_ structs to have a "perf" suffix

2019-08-26T22:39:11+00:00

Even more, to have a "perf_record_" prefix, so that they match the
PERF_RECORD_ enum they map to.

perf tools: Restore proper cwd on return from mnt namespace

2018-11-19T20:12:26+00:00

When reporting on 'record' server we try to retrieve/use the mnt
namespace of the profiled tasks. We use following API with cookie to
hold the return namespace, roughly:

  nsinfo__mountns_enter(struct nsinfo *nsi, struct nscookie *nc)
    setns(newns, 0);
  ...
  new ns related open..
  ...
  nsinfo__mountns_exit(struct nscookie *nc)
    setns(nc->oldns)

Once finished we setns to old namespace, which also sets the current
working directory (cwd) to "/", trashing the cwd we had.

This is mostly fine, because we use absolute paths almost everywhere,
but it screws up 'perf diff':

  # perf diff
  failed to open perf.data: No such file or directory  (try 'perf record' first)
  ...

Adding the current working directory to be part of the cookie and
restoring it in the nsinfo__mountns_exit call.

perf tools: Check for null when copying nsinfo.

2018-08-13T18:39:09+00:00

The argument to nsinfo__copy() was assumed to be valid, but some code paths
exist that will lead to NULL being passed.

In particular, running 'perf script -D' on a perf.data file containing an
PERF_RECORD_MMAP event associating the '[vdso]' dso with pid 0 earlier in
the event stream will lead to a segfault.

Since all calling code is already checking for a non-null return value,
just return NULL for this case as well.

perf tools: Make copyfile_offset() static

2017-09-13T12:49:16+00:00

There are no usage outside util.c and this is the only remaining reason
for fcntl.h to be included in util.h, to get the loff_t definition in
Alpine Linux, so make it static.

perf probe: Allow placing uprobes in alternate namespaces.

2017-07-19T02:14:10+00:00

Teaches perf how to place a uprobe on a file that's in a different mount
namespace.  The user must add the probe using the --target-ns argument
to perf probe.  Once it has been placed, it may be recorded against
without further namespace-specific commands.

perf maps: Lookup maps in both intitial mountns and inner mountns.

2017-07-19T02:14:09+00:00

If a process is in a mountns and has symbols in /tmp/perf-.map,
look first in the namespace using the tgid for the pidns that the
process might be in.  If the map isn't found there, try looking in the
mountns where perf is running, and use the tgid that's appropriate for
perf's pid namespace.  If all else fails, use the original pid.

This allows us to locate a symbol map file in the mount namespace, if it
was generated there.  However, we also try the tool's /tmp in case it's
there instead.
