perf symbols: Filter out hidden symbols from labels

2019-02-04T18:50:38+00:00

When perf is built with the annobin plugin (RHEL8 build) extra symbols
are added to its binary:

  # nm perf | grep annobin | head -10
  0000000000241100 t .annobin_annotate.c
  0000000000326490 t .annobin_annotate.c
  0000000000249255 t .annobin_annotate.c_end
  00000000003283a8 t .annobin_annotate.c_end
  00000000001bce18 t .annobin_annotate.c_end.hot
  00000000001bce18 t .annobin_annotate.c_end.hot
  00000000001bc3e2 t .annobin_annotate.c_end.unlikely
  00000000001bc400 t .annobin_annotate.c_end.unlikely
  00000000001bce18 t .annobin_annotate.c.hot
  00000000001bce18 t .annobin_annotate.c.hot
  ...

Those symbols have no use for report or annotation and should be
skipped.  Moreover they interfere with the DWARF unwind test on the PPC
arch, where they are mixed with checked symbols and then the test fails:

  # perf test dwarf -v
  59: Test dwarf unwind                                     :
  --- start ---
  test child forked, pid 8515
  unwind: .annobin_dwarf_unwind.c:ip = 0x10dba40dc (0x2740dc)
  ...
  got: .annobin_dwarf_unwind.c 0x10dba40dc, expecting test__arch_unwind_sample
  unwind: failed with 'no error'

The annobin symbols are defined as NOTYPE/LOCAL/HIDDEN:

  # readelf -s ./perf | grep annobin | head -1
    40: 00000000001bce4f     0 NOTYPE  LOCAL  HIDDEN    13 .annobin_init.c

They can still pass the check for the label symbol. Adding check for
HIDDEN and INTERNAL (as suggested by Nick below) visibility and filter
out such symbols.

>   symbols then you should probably also ignore STV_INTERNAL ones
>   as well...  Annobin does not generate them, but you never know,

perf symbols: Add fallback definitions for GELF_ST_VISIBILITY()

2019-02-04T18:50:37+00:00

Those aren't present in Alpine Linux 3.4 to edge, so provide fallback
defines to get the next patch building there keeping the build
bisectable.

perf mem/c2c: Fix perf_mem_events to support powerpc

2019-02-04T14:32:14+00:00

PowerPC hardware does not have a builtin latency filter (--ldlat) for
the "mem-load" event and perf_mem_events by default includes
"/ldlat=30/" which is causing a failure on PowerPC. Refactor the code to
support "perf mem/c2c" on PowerPC.

This patch depends on kernel side changes done my Madhavan:

perf tools: Handle TOPOLOGY headers with no CPU

2019-01-21T14:28:56+00:00

This patch fixes an issue in cpumap.c when used with the TOPOLOGY
header. In some configurations, some NUMA nodes may have no CPU (empty
cpulist). Yet a cpumap map must be created otherwise perf abort with an
error. This patch handles this case by creating a dummy map.

  Before:

  $ perf record -o - -e cycles noploop 2 | perf script -i -
  0x6e8 [0x6c]: failed to process type: 80

  After:

  $ perf record -o - -e cycles noploop 2 | perf script -i -
  noploop for 2 seconds

perf python: Remove -fstack-clash-protection when building with some clang versions

2019-01-18T14:38:09+00:00

These options are not present in some (all?) clang versions, so when we
build for a distro that has a gcc new enough to have these options and
that the distro python build config settings use them but clang doesn't
support, b00m.

This is the case with fedora rawhide (now gearing towards f30), so check
if clang has the  and remove the missing ones from CFLAGS.

perf ordered_events: Fix crash in ordered_events__free

2019-01-17T14:07:00+00:00

Song Liu reported crash in 'perf record':

  > #0  0x0000000000500055 in ordered_events(float, long double,...)(...) ()
  > #1  0x0000000000500196 in ordered_events.reinit ()
  > #2  0x00000000004fe413 in perf_session.process_events ()

  > #4  0x00000000004a439f in run_builtin ()
  > #5  0x000000000042b3e5 in main ()"

This can happen when we get out of buffers during event processing.

The subsequent ordered_events__free() call assumes oe->buffer != NULL
and crashes. Add a check to prevent that.

perf symbols: Add 'arch_cpu_idle' to the list of kernel idle symbols

2019-01-09T19:21:15+00:00

When testing 'perf top' on a armhf system (32-bit, Orange Pi Zero), I
noticed that 'arch_cpu_idle' dominated, add it to the list of idle
symbols, so that we can see what is that being done when not idle.

perf tools: Make find_vdso_map() more modular

2019-01-08T16:28:13+00:00

In preparation for checking that the vectors page on the ARM
architecture, refactor the find_vdso_map() function to accept finding an
arbitrary string and create a dedicated helper function for that under
util/find-map.c and update the filename to find-map.c and all references
to it: perf-read-vdso.c and util/vdso.c.
