perf symbols: Robustify reading of build-id from sysfs

2017-09-10T20:35:56+00:00

[ Upstream commit 7934c98a6e04028eb34c1293bfb5a6b0ab630b66 ]

Markus reported that perf segfaults when reading /sys/kernel/notes from
a kernel linked with GNU gold, due to what looks like a gold bug, so do
some bounds checking to avoid crashing in that case.

perf pmu: Fix misleadingly indented assignment (whitespace)

perf tools: Use readdir() instead of deprecated readdir_r()

2017-07-31T17:37:53+00:00

[ Upstream commit 7093b4c963cc4e344e490c774924a180602a7092 ]

The readdir() function is thread safe as long as just one thread uses a
DIR, which is the case when synthesizing events for pre-existing threads
by traversing /proc, so, to avoid breaking the build with glibc-2.23.90
(upcoming 2.24), use it instead of readdir_r().

See: http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/readdir.3.html

"However, in modern implementations (including the glibc implementation),
concurrent calls to readdir() that specify different directory streams
are thread-safe.  In cases where multiple threads must read from the
same directory stream, using readdir() with external synchronization is
still preferable to the use of the deprecated readdir_r(3) function."

Noticed while building on a Fedora Rawhide docker container.

perf thread_map: Correctly size buffer used with dirent->dt_name

[ Upstream commit bdf23a9a190d7ecea092fd5c4aabb7d4bd0a9980 ]

The size of dirent->dt_name is NAME_MAX + 1, but the size for the 'path'
buffer is hard coded at 256, which may truncate it because we also
prepend "/proc/", so that all that into account and thank gcc 7 for this

perf tools: Dont stop PMU parsing on alias parse error

2016-04-18T12:50:38+00:00

[ Upstream commit 940db6dcd3f4659303fdf6befe7416adc4d24118 ]

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.

perf kvm record/report: 'unprocessable sample' error while recording/reporting guest data

2016-02-03T21:23:16+00:00

[ Upstream commit 3caeaa562733c4836e61086ec07666635006a787 ]

While recording guest samples in host using perf kvm record, it will
populate unprocessable sample error, though samples will be recorded
properly. While generating report using perf kvm report, no samples will
be processed and same error will populate. We have seen this behaviour
with upstream perf(4.4-rc3) on x86 and ppc64 hardware.

Reason behind this failure is, when it tries to fetch machine from
rb_tree of machines, it fails. As a part of tracing a bug, we figured
out that this code was incorrectly refactored in commit 54245fdc3576
("perf session: Remove wrappers to machines__find").

This patch will change the functionality such that if it can't fetch
machine in first trial, it will create one node of machine and add that to
rb_tree. So next time when it tries to fetch same machine from rb_tree,
it won't fail. Actually it was the case before refactoring of code in
aforementioned commit.

This patch is generated from acme perf/core branch.

Below I've mention an example that demonstrate the behaviour before and
after applying patch.

Before applying patch:
[Note: One needs to run guest before recording data in host]
