perf hists: Fix column length on --hierarchy

2016-11-26T08:56:57+00:00

commit c72ab446cac1d6c9551fd26c4cfef1b2fc5041fd upstream.

Markus reported that there's a weird behavior on perf top --hierarchy
regarding the column length.

Looking at the code, I found a dubious code which affects the symptoms.
When --hierarchy option is used, the last column length might be
inaccurate since it skips to update the length on leaf entries.

I cannot remember why it did and looks like a leftover from previous
version during the development.

Anyway, updating the column length often is not harmful.  So let's move
the code out.

perf symbols: Fixup symbol sizes before picking best ones

2016-10-31T11:02:13+00:00

commit 432746f8e0b6a82ba832b771afe31abd51af6752 upstream.

When we call symbol__fixup_duplicate() we use algorithms to pick the
"best" symbols for cases where there are various functions/aliases to an
address, and those check zero size symbols, which, before calling
symbol__fixup_end() are _all_ symbols in a just parsed kallsyms file.

So first fixup the end, then fixup the duplicates.

Found while trying to figure out why 'perf test vmlinux' failed, see the
output of 'perf test -v vmlinux' to see cases where the symbols picked
as best for vmlinux don't match the ones picked for kallsyms.

perf symbols: Check symbol_conf.allow_aliases for kallsyms loading too

2016-10-31T11:02:13+00:00

commit c97b40e4d15f13a36cd037d598e45cbe9e1e5757 upstream.

We can allow aliases to be kept, but we were checking this just when
loading vmlinux files, be consistent, do it for any symbol table loading
code that calls symbol__fixup_duplicate() by making this function check
.allow_aliases instead.

perf data: Fix building in 32 bit platform with libbabeltrace

2016-10-31T11:02:13+00:00

commit f2c8852e6e990fcab0d9e68de9d86e5fbea0b5dc upstream.

perf intel-pt: Fix MTC timestamp calculation for large MTC periods

2016-10-28T07:45:20+00:00

commit 3bccbe20f6d188ce7b00326e776b745cfd35b10a upstream.

The MTC packet provides a 8-bit slice of CTC which is related to TSC by
the TMA packet, however the TMA packet only provides the lower 16 bits
of CTC.  If mtc_shift > 8 then some of the MTC bits are not in the CTC
provided by the TMA packet. Fix-up the last_mtc calculated from the TMA
packet by copying the missing bits from the current MTC assuming the
least difference between the two, and that the current MTC comes after
last_mtc.

perf intel-pt: Fix estimated timestamps for cycle-accurate mode

2016-10-28T07:45:20+00:00

commit 51ee6481fa8e879cc942bcc1b0af713e158b7a98 upstream.

In cycle-accurate mode, timestamps can be calculated from CYC packets.
The decoder also estimates timestamps based on the number of
instructions since the last timestamp. For that to work in
cycle-accurate mode, the instruction count needs to be reset to zero
when a timestamp is calculated from a CYC packet, but that wasn't
happening, so fix it.

perf intel-pt: Fix snapshot overlap detection decoder errors

2016-10-28T07:45:20+00:00

commit 810c398bc09b2f2dfde52a7d2483a710612c5fb8 upstream.

Fix occasional decoder errors decoding trace data collected in snapshot
mode.

Snapshot mode can take successive snapshots of trace which might overlap.
The decoder checks whether there is an overlap but only looks at the
current and previous buffer. However buffers that do not contain
synchronization (i.e. PSB) packets cannot be decoded or used for overlap
checking. That means the decoder actually needs to check overlaps between
the current buffer and the previous buffer that contained usable data.
Make that change.

perf evsel: Do not access outside hw cache name arrays

2016-08-18T19:39:46+00:00

We have to check if the values are >= *_MAX, not just >, fix it.

From the bugzilla report:

''In file /tools/perf/util/evsel.c  function __perf_evsel__hw_cache_name
it appears that there is a bug that reads beyond the end of the buffer.
The statement "if (type > PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_MAX)" allows type to be
equal to the maximum value. Later, when statement "if
(!perf_evsel__is_cache_op_valid(type, op))" is executed, the function
can access array perf_evsel__hw_cache_stat[type] beyond the end of the
buffer.

It appears to me that the statement "if (type > PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_MAX)"
should be "if (type >= PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_MAX)"

Bug found with Coverity and manual code review. No attempts were made to
execute the code with a maximum type value.''

perf unwind: Use addr_location::addr instead of ip for entries
