perf header: Fix use of unitialized value warning

2019-08-25T08:52:59+00:00

[ Upstream commit 20f9781f491360e7459c589705a2e4b1f136bee9 ]

When building our local version of perf with MSAN (Memory Sanitizer) and
running the perf record command, MSAN throws a use of uninitialized
value warning in "tools/perf/util/util.c:333:6".

This warning stems from the "buf" variable being passed into "write".
It originated as the variable "ev" with the type union perf_event*
defined in the "perf_event__synthesize_attr" function in
"tools/perf/util/header.c".

In the "perf_event__synthesize_attr" function they allocate space with a malloc
call using ev, then go on to only assign some of the member variables before
passing "ev" on as a parameter to the "process" function therefore "ev"
contains uninitialized memory. Changing the malloc call to zalloc to initialize
all the members of "ev" which gets rid of the warning.

To reproduce this warning, build perf by running:
make -C tools/perf CLANG=1 CC=clang EXTRA_CFLAGS="-fsanitize=memory\
 -fsanitize-memory-track-origins"

(Additionally, llvm might have to be installed and clang might have to
be specified as the compiler - export CC=/usr/bin/clang)

then running:
tools/perf/perf record -o - ls / | tools/perf/perf --no-pager annotate\
 -i - --stdio

Please see the cover letter for why false positive warnings may be
generated.

perf header: Fix divide by zero error if f_header.attr_size==0

2019-08-25T08:52:59+00:00

[ Upstream commit 7622236ceb167aa3857395f9bdaf871442aa467e ]

So I have been having lots of trouble with hand-crafted perf.data files
causing segfaults and the like, so I have started fuzzing the perf tool.

First issue found:

If f_header.attr_size is 0 in the perf.data file, then perf will crash
with a divide-by-zero error.

Committer note:

Added a pr_err() to tell the user why the command failed.

perf db-export: Fix thread__exec_comm()

2019-08-25T08:52:44+00:00

commit 3de7ae0b2a1d86dbb23d0cb135150534fdb2e836 upstream.

Threads synthesized from /proc have comms with a start time of zero, and
not marked as "exec". Currently, there can be 2 such comms. The first is
created by processing a synthesized fork event and is set to the
parent's comm string, and the second by processing a synthesized comm
event set to the thread's current comm string.

In the absence of an "exec" comm, thread__exec_comm() picks the last
(oldest) comm, which, in the case above, is the parent's comm string.
For a main thread, that is very probably wrong. Use the second-to-last
in that case.

This affects only db-export because it is the only user of
thread__exec_comm().

Example:

  $ sudo perf record -a -o pt-a-sleep-1 -e intel_pt//u -- sleep 1
  $ sudo chown ahunter pt-a-sleep-1

Before:

  $ perf script -i pt-a-sleep-1 --itrace=bep -s tools/perf/scripts/python/export-to-sqlite.py pt-a-sleep-1.db branches calls

perf evsel: Make perf_evsel__name() accept a NULL argument

2019-08-04T07:34:46+00:00

[ Upstream commit fdbdd7e8580eac9bdafa532746c865644d125e34 ]

In which case it simply returns "unknown", like when it can't figure out
the evsel->name value.

This makes this code more robust and fixes a problem in 'perf trace'
where a NULL evsel was being passed to a routine that only used the
evsel for printing its name when a invalid syscall id was passed.

perf intel-pt: Fix sample timestamp wrt non-taken branches

2019-06-11T10:23:47+00:00

commit 1b6599a9d8e6c9f7e9b0476012383b1777f7fc93 upstream.

The sample timestamp is updated to ensure that the timestamp represents
the time of the sample and not a branch that the decoder is still
walking towards. The sample timestamp is updated when the decoder
returns, but the decoder does not return for non-taken branches. Update
the sample timestamp then also.

Note that commit 3f04d98e972b5 ("perf intel-pt: Improve sample
timestamp") was also a stable fix and appears, for example, in v4.4
stable tree as commit a4ebb58fd124 ("perf intel-pt: Improve sample

perf intel-pt: Fix improved sample timestamp

2019-06-11T10:23:47+00:00

commit 61b6e08dc8e3ea80b7485c9b3f875ddd45c8466b upstream.

The decoder uses its current timestamp in samples. Usually that is a
timestamp that has already passed, but in some cases it is a timestamp
for a branch that the decoder is walking towards, and consequently
hasn't reached.

The intel_pt_sample_time() function decides which is which, but was not
handling TNT packets exactly correctly.

In the case of TNT, the timestamp applies to the first branch, so the
decoder must first walk to that branch.

That means intel_pt_sample_time() should return true for TNT, and this
patch makes that change. However, if the first branch is a non-taken
branch (i.e. a 'N'), then intel_pt_sample_time() needs to return false
for subsequent taken branches in the same TNT packet.

To handle that, introduce a new state INTEL_PT_STATE_TNT_CONT to
distinguish the cases.

Note that commit 3f04d98e972b5 ("perf intel-pt: Improve sample
timestamp") was also a stable fix and appears, for example, in v4.4
stable tree as commit a4ebb58fd124 ("perf intel-pt: Improve sample

perf intel-pt: Fix instructions sampling rate

2019-06-11T10:23:46+00:00

commit 7ba8fa20e26eb3c0c04d747f7fd2223694eac4d5 upstream.

The timestamp used to determine if an instruction sample is made, is an
estimate based on the number of instructions since the last known
timestamp. A consequence is that it might go backwards, which results in
extra samples. Change it so that a sample is only made when the
timestamp goes forwards.

Note this does not affect a sampling period of 0 or sampling periods
specified as a count of instructions.

His patch took care of evsel->prev_raw_counts, but the above backtraces
are about evsel->counts, so fix that instead.

perf intel-pt: Fix TSC slip

2019-04-03T04:23:28+00:00

commit f3b4e06b3bda759afd042d3d5fa86bea8f1fe278 upstream.

A TSC packet can slip past MTC packets so that the timestamp appears to
go backwards. One estimate is that can be up to about 40 CPU cycles,
which is certainly less than 0x1000 TSC ticks, but accept slippage an
order of magnitude more to be on the safe side.
