perf diff: Fix duplicated output column

2016-05-19T01:35:11+00:00

commit e9d848cb65d5f6f7731d12bd1b6d994bfdbcc94f upstream.

The commit b97511c5bc94 ("perf tools: Add overhead/overhead_children
keys defaults via string") moved initialization of column headers but it
missed to check the sort__mode.  As 'perf diff' doesn't call
perf_hpp__init(), the setup_overhead() also should not be called.

commit 89fee59b504f86925894fcc9ba79d5c933842f93 upstream.

Steam frequently puts game binaries in folders with spaces.

Note: "(deleted)" markers are now treated as part of the file name.

perf tools: Fix perf script python database export crash

2016-05-04T21:49:12+00:00

commit 616df645d7238e45d3b369933a30fee4e4e305e2 upstream.

Remove the union in evsel so that the database id and priv pointer can
be used simultainously without conflicting and crashing.

Detailed Description for the fixed bug follows:

perf script crashes with a segmentation fault on user space tool version
4.5.rc7.ge2857b when using the python database export API. It works
properly in 4.4 and prior versions.

the crash fist appeared in:

cfc8874a4859 ("perf script: Process cpu/threads maps")

How to reproduce the bug:

Remove any temporary files left over from a previous crash (if you have
already attemped to reproduce the bug):

  $ rm -r test_db-perf-data
  $ dropdb test_db

  $ perf record timeout 1 yes >/dev/null
  $ perf script -s scripts/python/export-to-postgresql.py test_db

  Stack Trace:
  Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

perf evlist: Reference count the cpu and thread maps at set_maps()

2016-05-04T21:49:12+00:00

commit a55e5663761366fb883f6f25375dd68bc958b9db upstream.

We were dropping the reference we possibly held but not obtaining one
for the new maps, which we will drop at perf_evlist__delete(), fix it.

This was caught by Steven Noonan in some of the machines which would
produce this output when caught by glibc debug mechanisms:

Further investigation using valgrind led to the reference count imbalance fixed
in this patch.

perf intel-pt: Fix segfault tracing transactions

Caused by checking the 'callchain' flag when it should have been the
'last_branch' flag.  Fix that.

perf tools: Fix python extension build

2016-04-12T14:33:13+00:00

commit 67d5268908283c187e0a460048a423256c2fb288 upstream.

The util/python-ext-sources file contains source files required to build
the python extension relative to $(srctree)/tools/perf,

Such a file path $(FILE).c is handed over to the python extension build
system, which builds the final object in the
$(PYTHON_EXTBUILD)/tmp/$(FILE).o path.

After the build is done all files from $(PYTHON_EXTBUILD)lib/ are
carried as the result binaries.

Above system fails when we add source file relative to ../lib, which we
do for:

  ../lib/bitmap.c
  ../lib/find_bit.c
  ../lib/hweight.c
  ../lib/rbtree.c

All above objects will be built like:

  $(PYTHON_EXTBUILD)/tmp/../lib/bitmap.c
  $(PYTHON_EXTBUILD)/tmp/../lib/find_bit.c
  $(PYTHON_EXTBUILD)/tmp/../lib/hweight.c
  $(PYTHON_EXTBUILD)/tmp/../lib/rbtree.c

which accidentally happens to be final library path:

  $(PYTHON_EXTBUILD)/lib/

Changing setup.py to pass full paths of source files to Extension build
class and thus keep all built objects under $(PYTHON_EXTBUILD)tmp
directory.

perf tools: Dont stop PMU parsing on alias parse error

2016-04-12T14:33:12+00:00

commit 940db6dcd3f4659303fdf6befe7416adc4d24118 upstream.

When an error happens during alias parsing currently the complete
parsing of all attributes of the PMU is stopped. This is breaks old perf
on a newer kernel that may have not-yet-know alias attributes (such as
.scale or .per-pkg).

Continue when some attribute is unparseable.

This is IMHO a stable candidate and should be backported to older
versions to avoid problems with newer kernels.

v2: Print warnings when something goes wrong.
v3: Change warning to debug output

Pull perf/urgent fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

 - tracepoint_error() can receive e=NULL, robustify it, fixes a problem noticed
   with a very specific combination: Machine with Intel PT (e.g. Broadwell),
   kernel with no perf_event_attr.context_switch feature (e.g. 4.2) and unreadable
   tracefs (for instance !root users), making the fallback from
   perf_event_attr.context_switch to the sched:sched_switch tracepoint to fail
   reading its info from tracefs, fix it. (Adrian Hunter)

 - Fix segfault in intel PT, by making it follow the 'struct thread' lifetime cycle
   checking expectations, noticed for instance, when processing perf.data files with
   Intel PT data using 'perf script' and when exiting 'perf report' (Adrian Hunter)

 - Fix CFI usage from .eh_frame and .debug_frame, which sometimes requires that we
   fallback from .eh_frame to .debug_frame in architectures such as PowerPC (Hemant Kumar)
