Revert "perf tools: Decompress kernel module when reading DSO data"

2018-04-29T09:31:57+00:00

This reverts commit e2d054998b151e85b6305aa72264f67097bd78e9 which is
commit 1d6b3c9ba756a5134fd7ad1959acac776d17404b upstream.

It breaks the build, so obviously none of us actually tested it :(

perf intel-pt: Fix timestamp following overflow

2018-04-20T06:20:41+00:00

commit 91d29b288aed3406caf7c454bf2b898c96cfd177 upstream.

timestamp_insn_cnt is used to estimate the timestamp based on the number of
instructions since the last known timestamp.

If the estimate is not accurate enough decoding might not be correctly
synchronized with side-band events causing more trace errors.

However there are always timestamps following an overflow, so the
estimate is not needed and can indeed result in more errors.

Suppress the estimate by setting timestamp_insn_cnt to zero.

perf intel-pt: Fix error recovery from missing TIP packet

2018-04-20T06:20:41+00:00

commit 1c196a6c771c47a2faa63d38d913e03284f73a16 upstream.

When a TIP packet is expected but there is a different packet, it is an
error. However the unexpected packet might be something important like a
TSC packet, so after the error, it is necessary to continue from there,
rather than the next packet. That is achieved by setting pkt_step to
zero.

perf intel-pt: Fix sync_switch

2018-04-20T06:20:41+00:00

commit 63d8e38f6ae6c36dd5b5ba0e8c112e8861532ea2 upstream.

sync_switch is a facility to synchronize decoding more closely with the
point in the kernel when the context actually switched.

The flag when sync_switch is enabled was global to the decoding, whereas
it is really specific to the CPU.

The trace data for different CPUs is put on different queues, so add
sync_switch to the intel_pt_queue structure and use that in preference
to the global setting in the intel_pt structure.

That fixes problems decoding one CPU's trace because sync_switch was
disabled on a different CPU's queue.

perf intel-pt: Fix overlap detection to identify consecutive buffers correctly

2018-04-20T06:20:41+00:00

commit 117db4b27bf08dba412faf3924ba55fe970c57b8 upstream.

Overlap detection was not not updating the buffer's 'consecutive' flag.
Marking buffers consecutive has the advantage that decoding begins from
the start of the buffer instead of the first PSB. Fix overlap detection
to identify consecutive buffers correctly.

perf tools: Fix copyfile_offset update of output offset

2018-04-13T17:48:31+00:00

[ Upstream commit fa1195ccc0af2d121abe0fe266a1caee8c265eea ]

We need to increase output offset in each iteration, not decrease it as
we currently do.

I guess we were lucky to finish in most cases in first iteration, so the
bug never showed. However it shows a lot when working with big (~4GB)
size data.

Currently perf decompresses kernel modules when loading the symbol table
but it missed to do it when reading raw data.

perf report: Ensure the perf DSO mapping matches what libdw sees

2018-04-13T17:48:20+00:00

[ Upstream commit 2538b9e2450ae255337c04356e9e0f8cb9ec48d9 ]

In some situations the libdw unwinder stopped working properly.  I.e.
with libunwind we see:

~~~~~
heaptrack_gui  2228 135073.400112:     641314 cycles:
	            e8ed _dl_fixup (/usr/lib/ld-2.25.so)
	           15f06 _dl_runtime_resolve_sse_vex (/usr/lib/ld-2.25.so)
	           ed94c KDynamicJobTracker::KDynamicJobTracker (/home/milian/projects/compiled/kf5/lib64/libKF5KIOWidgets.so.5.35.0)
	           608f3 _GLOBAL__sub_I_kdynamicjobtracker.cpp (/home/milian/projects/compiled/kf5/lib64/libKF5KIOWidgets.so.5.35.0)
	            f199 call_init.part.0 (/usr/lib/ld-2.25.so)
	            f2a5 _dl_init (/usr/lib/ld-2.25.so)
	             db9 _dl_start_user (/usr/lib/ld-2.25.so)
~~~~~

But with libdw and without this patch this sample is not properly
unwound:

~~~~~
heaptrack_gui  2228 135073.400112:     641314 cycles:
	            e8ed _dl_fixup (/usr/lib/ld-2.25.so)
	           15f06 _dl_runtime_resolve_sse_vex (/usr/lib/ld-2.25.so)
	           ed94c KDynamicJobTracker::KDynamicJobTracker (/home/milian/projects/compiled/kf5/lib64/libKF5KIOWidgets.so.5.35.0)
~~~~~

Debug output showed me that libdw found a module for the last frame
address, but it thinks it belongs to /usr/lib/ld-2.25.so. This patch
double-checks what libdw sees and what perf knows. If the mappings
mismatch, we now report the elf known to perf. This fixes the situation
above, and the libdw unwinder produces the same stack as libunwind.

perf header: Set proper module name when build-id event found

2018-04-13T17:48:20+00:00

[ Upstream commit 1deec1bd96ccd8beb04d2112a6d12fe20505c3a6 ]

When perf processes build-id event, it creates DSOs with the build-id.
But it didn't set the module short name (like '[module-name]') so when
processing a kernel mmap event of the module, it cannot found the DSO as
it only checks the short names.

That leads for perf to create a same DSO without the build-id info and
it'll lookup the system path even if the DSO is already in the build-id
cache.  After kernel was updated, perf cannot find the DSO  and cannot
show symbols in it anymore.

You can see this if you have an old data file (w/ old kernel version):

  $ perf report -i perf.data.old -v |& grep scsi_mod
  build id event received for /lib/modules/3.19.2-1-ARCH/kernel/drivers/scsi/scsi_mod.ko.gz : cafe1ce6ca13a98a5d9ed3425cde249e57a27fc1
  Failed to open /lib/modules/3.19.2-1-ARCH/kernel/drivers/scsi/scsi_mod.ko.gz, continuing without symbols
  ...

The second message didn't show the build-id.  With this patch:

  $ perf report -i perf.data.old -v |& grep scsi_mod
  build id event received for /lib/modules/3.19.2-1-ARCH/kernel/drivers/scsi/scsi_mod.ko.gz: cafe1ce6ca13a98a5d9ed3425cde249e57a27fc1
  /lib/modules/3.19.2-1-ARCH/kernel/drivers/scsi/scsi_mod.ko.gz with build id cafe1ce6ca13a98a5d9ed3425cde249e57a27fc1 not found, continuing without symbols
  ...

Now it shows the build-id but still cannot load the symbol table.  This
is a different problem which will be fixed in the next patch.

perf probe: Add warning message if there is unexpected event name

2018-04-13T17:48:08+00:00

[ Upstream commit 9f5c6d8777a2d962b0eeacb2a16f37da6bea545b ]

This improve the error message so that user can know event-name error
before writing new events to kprobe-events interface.

E.g.
   ======
   #./perf probe -x /lib64/libc-2.25.so malloc_get_state*
   Internal error: "malloc_get_state@GLIBC_2" is an invalid event name.
     Error: Failed to add events.
