perf events parse: Use just one parse events state struct

2017-11-26T13:50:20+00:00

commit d17d0878f456c8227345b6c76b918ec068fa0abd upstream.

Andi reported problems when parse errors were detected with vendor
events (json), because in the yyparse/parse_events_parse function we
dereferenced the _data parameter to two different structs, with
different layouts, which ended up making parse_events_evlist->error to
point to random stack addresses.

Fix it by making _data to always be struct parse_events_state, changing
the only place where 'struct parse_events_term' was used in
parse_events.y.

perf events parse: Rename parsing state struct to clearer name

2017-11-26T13:50:20+00:00

commit 5d369a75eda5855d64981668a1d60cfac00d52e9 upstream.

Rename it from 'parse_events_evlist' to 'parse_events_state' to better
state that this is parsing state that has to be passed around.

perf script: Fix outdated comment for perf-trace-python

commit c76132dc5182776b98e946d674cb41c421661ea9 upstream.

Script generated by the '--gen-script' option contains an outdated
comment. It mentions a 'perf-trace-python' document while it has been
renamed to 'perf-script-python'. Fix it.

perf symbols: Fix symbols__fixup_end heuristic for corner cases

2017-07-18T17:40:19+00:00

commit e7ede72a6d40cb3a30c087142d79381ca8a31dab upstream.

The current symbols__fixup_end() heuristic for the last entry in the rb
tree is suboptimal as it leads to not being able to recognize the symbol
in the call graph in a couple of corner cases, for example:

 i) If the symbol has a start address (f.e. exposed via kallsyms)
    that is at a page boundary, then the roundup(curr->start, 4096)
    for the last entry will result in curr->start == curr->end with
    a symbol length of zero.

ii) If the symbol has a start address that is shortly before a page
    boundary, then also here, curr->end - curr->start will just be
    very few bytes, where it's unrealistic that we could perform a
    match against.

Instead, change the heuristic to roundup(curr->start, 4096) + 4096, so
that we can catch such corner cases and have a better chance to find
that specific symbol. It's still just best effort as the real end of the
symbol is unknown to us (and could even be at a larger offset than the
current range), but better than the current situation.

Alexei reported that he recently run into case i) with a JITed eBPF
program (these are all page aligned) as the last symbol which wasn't
properly shown in the call graph (while other eBPF program symbols in
the rb tree were displayed correctly). Since this is a generic issue,
lets try to improve the heuristic a bit.

perf scripting: Avoid leaking the scripting_context variable

perf symbols: Fixup symbol sizes before picking best ones

2017-02-23T03:53:56+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.

commit f47822078dece7189cad0a5f472f148e5e916736 upstream.

exceeds what can be represented in an integer bitmask. Ensure we
generate the proper bitmask on such platforms.

perf tools: Dont stop PMU parsing on alias parse error

2016-04-30T22:05:49+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.
