commit 5b596e0ff0e1852197d4c82d3314db5e43126bf7 upstream.

To avoid breaking the build on arches where this is not wired up, at
least all the other features should be made available and when using
this specific routine, the "unknown" should point the user/developer to
the need to wire this up on this particular hardware architecture.

<title>perf probe: Skip overlapped location on searching variables</title>

commit dee36a2abb67c175265d49b9a8c7dfa564463d9a upstream.

Since debuginfo__find_probes() callback function can be called with  the
location which already passed, the callback function must filter out
such overlapped locations.

add_probe_trace_event() has already done it by commit 1a375ae7659a
("perf probe: Skip same probe address for a given line"), but
add_available_vars() doesn't. Thus perf probe -v shows same address
repeatedly as below:

  # perf probe -V vfs_read:18
  Available variables at vfs_read:18
          @&lt;vfs_read+217&gt;
                  char*   buf
                  loff_t* pos
                  ssize_t ret
                  struct file*    file
          @&lt;vfs_read+217&gt;
                  char*   buf
                  loff_t* pos
                  ssize_t ret
                  struct file*    file
          @&lt;vfs_read+226&gt;
                  char*   buf
                  loff_t* pos
                  ssize_t ret
                  struct file*    file

With this fix, perf probe -V shows it correctly:

  # perf probe -V vfs_read:18
  Available variables at vfs_read:18
          @&lt;vfs_read+217&gt;
                  char*   buf
                  loff_t* pos
                  ssize_t ret
                  struct file*    file
          @&lt;vfs_read+226&gt;
                  char*   buf
                  loff_t* pos
                  ssize_t ret
                  struct file*    file

commit 86c0bf8539e7f46d91bd105e55eda96e0064caef upstream.

Fix to show calling lines of inlined functions (where an inline function
is called).

die_walk_lines() filtered out the lines inside inlined functions based
on the address. However this also filtered out the lines which call
those inlined functions from the target function.

To solve this issue, check the call_file and call_line attributes and do
not filter out if it matches to the line information.

Without this fix, perf probe -L doesn't show some lines correctly.
(don't see the lines after 17)

  # perf probe -L vfs_read
  &lt;vfs_read@/home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux/fs/read_write.c:0&gt;
        0  ssize_t vfs_read(struct file *file, char __user *buf, size_t count, loff_t *pos)
        1  {
        2         ssize_t ret;

        4         if (!(file-&gt;f_mode &amp; FMODE_READ))
                          return -EBADF;
        6         if (!(file-&gt;f_mode &amp; FMODE_CAN_READ))
                          return -EINVAL;
        8         if (unlikely(!access_ok(buf, count)))
                          return -EFAULT;

       11         ret = rw_verify_area(READ, file, pos, count);
       12         if (!ret) {
       13                 if (count &gt; MAX_RW_COUNT)
                                  count =  MAX_RW_COUNT;
       15                 ret = __vfs_read(file, buf, count, pos);
       16                 if (ret &gt; 0) {
                                  fsnotify_access(file);

                          }

commit da6cb952a89efe24bb76c4971370d485737a2d85 upstream.

Filter out instances except for inlined_subroutine and subprogram DIE in
die_walk_instances() and die_is_func_instance().

This fixes an issue that perf probe sets some probes on calling address
instead of a target function itself.

When perf probe walks on instances of an abstruct origin (a kind of
function prototype of inlined function), die_walk_instances() can also
pass a GNU_call_site (a GNU extension for call site) to callback. Since
it is not an inlined instance of target function, we have to filter out
when searching a probe point.

Without this patch, perf probe sets probes on call site address too.This
can happen on some function which is marked "inlined", but has actual
symbol. (I'm not sure why GCC mark it "inlined"):

  # perf probe -D vfs_read
  p:probe/vfs_read _text+2500017
  p:probe/vfs_read_1 _text+2499468
  p:probe/vfs_read_2 _text+2499563
  p:probe/vfs_read_3 _text+2498876
  p:probe/vfs_read_4 _text+2498512
  p:probe/vfs_read_5 _text+2498627

With this patch:

Slightly different results, similar tho:

  # perf probe -D vfs_read

<title>perf probe: Skip end-of-sequence and non statement lines</title>

commit f4d99bdfd124823a81878b44b5e8750b97f73902 upstream.

Skip end-of-sequence and non-statement lines while walking through lines
list.

The "end-of-sequence" line information means:

 "the current address is that of the first byte after the
  end of a sequence of target machine instructions."
 (DWARF version 4 spec 6.2.2)

This actually means out of scope and we can not probe on it.

On the other hand, the statement lines (is_stmt) means:

 "the current instruction is a recommended breakpoint location.
  A recommended breakpoint location is intended to “represent”
  a line, a statement and/or a semantically distinct subpart
  of a statement."

 (DWARF version 4 spec 6.2.2)

So, non-statement line info also should be skipped.

These can reduce unneeded probe points and also avoid an error.

E.g. without this patch:

  # perf probe -a "clear_tasks_mm_cpumask:1"
  Added new events:
    probe:clear_tasks_mm_cpumask (on clear_tasks_mm_cpumask:1)
    probe:clear_tasks_mm_cpumask_1 (on clear_tasks_mm_cpumask:1)
    probe:clear_tasks_mm_cpumask_2 (on clear_tasks_mm_cpumask:1)
    probe:clear_tasks_mm_cpumask_3 (on clear_tasks_mm_cpumask:1)
    probe:clear_tasks_mm_cpumask_4 (on clear_tasks_mm_cpumask:1)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

  	perf record -e probe:clear_tasks_mm_cpumask_4 -aR sleep 1

  #

This puts 5 probes on one line, but acutally it's not inlined function.
This is because there are many non statement instructions at the
function prologue.

With this patch:

  # perf probe -a "clear_tasks_mm_cpumask:1"
  Added new event:
    probe:clear_tasks_mm_cpumask (on clear_tasks_mm_cpumask:1)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

  	perf record -e probe:clear_tasks_mm_cpumask -aR sleep 1

  #

Now perf-probe skips unneeded addresses.

Committer testing:

Slightly different results, but similar:

  # perf probe -l
    probe:clear_tasks_mm_cpumask (on clear_tasks_mm_cpumask@kernel/cpu.c)

commit 18e21eb671dc87a4f0546ba505a89ea93598a634 upstream.

Fix 'perf probe --line' option to show inlined function callsite lines
even if the function DIE has only ranges.

  # perf probe -L amd_put_event_constraints

commit 18e21eb671dc87a4f0546ba505a89ea93598a634 upstream.

Fix 'perf probe --line' option to show inlined function callsite lines
even if the function DIE has only ranges.

Without this:

  # perf probe -L amd_put_event_constraints
  ...
      2  {
      3         if (amd_has_nb(cpuc) &amp;&amp; amd_is_nb_event(&amp;event-&gt;hw))
                        __amd_put_nb_event_constraints(cpuc, event);
      5  }

With this patch:

  # perf probe -L amd_put_event_constraints
  ...
      2  {
      3         if (amd_has_nb(cpuc) &amp;&amp; amd_is_nb_event(&amp;event-&gt;hw))
      4                 __amd_put_nb_event_constraints(cpuc, event);
      5  }

Committer testing:

Before:

  [root@quaco ~]# perf probe -L amd_put_event_constraints
  &lt;amd_put_event_constraints@/usr/src/debug/kernel-5.2.fc30/linux-5.2.18-200.fc30.x86_64/arch/x86/events/amd/core.c:0&gt;
        0  static void amd_put_event_constraints(struct cpu_hw_events *cpuc,
                                                struct perf_event *event)
        2  {
        3         if (amd_has_nb(cpuc) &amp;&amp; amd_is_nb_event(&amp;event-&gt;hw))
                          __amd_put_nb_event_constraints(cpuc, event);
        5  }

           PMU_FORMAT_ATTR(event, "config:0-7,32-35");
           PMU_FORMAT_ATTR(umask, "config:8-15"   );

  [root@quaco ~]#

After:

  [root@quaco ~]# perf probe -L amd_put_event_constraints
  &lt;amd_put_event_constraints@/usr/src/debug/kernel-5.2.fc30/linux-5.2.18-200.fc30.x86_64/arch/x86/events/amd/core.c:0&gt;

        2  {
        3         if (amd_has_nb(cpuc) &amp;&amp; amd_is_nb_event(&amp;event-&gt;hw))
        4                 __amd_put_nb_event_constraints(cpuc, event);
        5  }

           PMU_FORMAT_ATTR(event, "config:0-7,32-35");
           PMU_FORMAT_ATTR(umask, "config:8-15"   );

  [root@quaco ~]# perf probe amd_put_event_constraints:4
  Added new event:
    probe:amd_put_event_constraints (on amd_put_event_constraints:4)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

  	perf record -e probe:amd_put_event_constraints -aR sleep 1

  [root@quaco ~]#

  [root@quaco ~]# perf probe -l
    probe:amd_put_event_constraints (on amd_put_event_constraints:4@arch/x86/events/amd/core.c)
    probe:clear_tasks_mm_cpumask (on clear_tasks_mm_cpumask@kernel/cpu.c)
  [root@quaco ~]#

Using it:

  [root@quaco ~]# perf trace -e probe:*
  ^C[root@quaco ~]#

Ok, Intel system here... :-)

commit 3895534dd78f0fd4d3f9e05ee52b9cdd444a743e upstream.

Since debuginfo__find_probe_point() uses dwarf_entrypc() for finding the
entry address of the function on which a probe is, it will fail when the
function DIE has only ranges attribute.

To fix this issue, use die_entrypc() instead of dwarf_entrypc().

Without this fix, perf probe -l shows incorrect offset:

  # perf probe -l
    probe:clear_tasks_mm_cpumask (on clear_tasks_mm_cpumask+18446744071579263632@work/linux/linux/kernel/cpu.c)
    probe:clear_tasks_mm_cpumask_1 (on clear_tasks_mm_cpumask+18446744071579263752@work/linux/linux/kernel/cpu.c)

With this:

  # perf probe -l
    probe:clear_tasks_mm_cpumask (on clear_tasks_mm_cpumask@work/linux/linux/kernel/cpu.c)
    probe:clear_tasks_mm_cpumask_1 (on clear_tasks_mm_cpumask:21@work/linux/linux/kernel/cpu.c)

commit eb6933b29d20bf2c3053883d409a53f462c1a3ac upstream.

Fix perf probe to probe an inlne function which has no entry pc
or low pc but only has ranges attribute.

This seems very rare case, but I could find a few examples, as
same as probe_point_search_cb(), use die_entrypc() to get the
entry address in probe_point_inline_cb() too.

Without this patch:

  # perf probe -D __amd_put_nb_event_constraints

commit 5d16dbcc311d91267ddb45c6da4f187be320ecee upstream.

Fix 'perf probe' to probe a function which has no entry pc or low pc but
only has ranges attribute.

probe_point_search_cb() uses dwarf_entrypc() to get the probe address,
but that doesn't work for the function DIE which has only ranges
attribute. Use die_entrypc() instead.

Without this fix:

  # perf probe -k ../build-x86_64/vmlinux -D clear_tasks_mm_cpumask:0
  Probe point 'clear_tasks_mm_cpumask' not found.
    Error: Failed to add events.

With this:

  # perf probe -k ../build-x86_64/vmlinux -D clear_tasks_mm_cpumask:0
  p:probe/clear_tasks_mm_cpumask clear_tasks_mm_cpumask+0

Committer testing:

Before:

  [root@quaco ~]# perf probe clear_tasks_mm_cpumask:0
  Probe point 'clear_tasks_mm_cpumask' not found.
    Error: Failed to add events.

After:

  [root@quaco ~]# perf probe clear_tasks_mm_cpumask:0
  Added new event:
    probe:clear_tasks_mm_cpumask (on clear_tasks_mm_cpumask)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

  [root@quaco ~]#

Using it with 'perf trace':

  [root@quaco ~]# perf trace -e probe:clear_tasks_mm_cpumask

Doesn't seem to be used in x86_64:

commit 07d369857808b7e8e471bbbbb0074a6718f89b31 upstream.

Since there are some DIE which has only ranges instead of the
combination of entrypc/highpc, address verification must use
dwarf_haspc() instead of dwarf_entrypc/dwarf_highpc.

Also, the ranges only DIE will have a partial code in different section
(e.g. unlikely code will be in text.unlikely as "FUNC.cold" symbol). In
that case, we can not use dwarf_entrypc() or die_entrypc(), because the
offset from original DIE can be a minus value.

Instead, this simply gets the symbol and offset from symtab.

Without this patch;

  # perf probe -D clear_tasks_mm_cpumask:1
  Failed to get entry address of clear_tasks_mm_cpumask
    Error: Failed to add events.

And with this patch:

  # perf probe -D clear_tasks_mm_cpumask:1
  p:probe/clear_tasks_mm_cpumask clear_tasks_mm_cpumask+0
  p:probe/clear_tasks_mm_cpumask_1 clear_tasks_mm_cpumask+5
  p:probe/clear_tasks_mm_cpumask_2 clear_tasks_mm_cpumask+8
  p:probe/clear_tasks_mm_cpumask_3 clear_tasks_mm_cpumask+16
  p:probe/clear_tasks_mm_cpumask_4 clear_tasks_mm_cpumask+82

Committer testing:

I managed to reproduce the above:

  [root@quaco ~]# perf probe -D clear_tasks_mm_cpumask:1
  p:probe/clear_tasks_mm_cpumask _text+919968
  p:probe/clear_tasks_mm_cpumask_1 _text+919973
  p:probe/clear_tasks_mm_cpumask_2 _text+919976
  [root@quaco ~]#

But then when trying to actually put the probe in place, it fails if I
use :0 as the offset:

  [root@quaco ~]# perf probe -L clear_tasks_mm_cpumask | head -5

commit 07d369857808b7e8e471bbbbb0074a6718f89b31 upstream.

Since there are some DIE which has only ranges instead of the
combination of entrypc/highpc, address verification must use
dwarf_haspc() instead of dwarf_entrypc/dwarf_highpc.

Also, the ranges only DIE will have a partial code in different section
(e.g. unlikely code will be in text.unlikely as "FUNC.cold" symbol). In
that case, we can not use dwarf_entrypc() or die_entrypc(), because the
offset from original DIE can be a minus value.

Instead, this simply gets the symbol and offset from symtab.

Without this patch;

  # perf probe -D clear_tasks_mm_cpumask:1
  Failed to get entry address of clear_tasks_mm_cpumask
    Error: Failed to add events.

And with this patch:

  # perf probe -D clear_tasks_mm_cpumask:1
  p:probe/clear_tasks_mm_cpumask clear_tasks_mm_cpumask+0
  p:probe/clear_tasks_mm_cpumask_1 clear_tasks_mm_cpumask+5
  p:probe/clear_tasks_mm_cpumask_2 clear_tasks_mm_cpumask+8
  p:probe/clear_tasks_mm_cpumask_3 clear_tasks_mm_cpumask+16
  p:probe/clear_tasks_mm_cpumask_4 clear_tasks_mm_cpumask+82

Committer testing:

I managed to reproduce the above:

  [root@quaco ~]# perf probe -D clear_tasks_mm_cpumask:1
  p:probe/clear_tasks_mm_cpumask _text+919968
  p:probe/clear_tasks_mm_cpumask_1 _text+919973
  p:probe/clear_tasks_mm_cpumask_2 _text+919976
  [root@quaco ~]#

But then when trying to actually put the probe in place, it fails if I
use :0 as the offset:

  [root@quaco ~]# perf probe -L clear_tasks_mm_cpumask | head -5
  &lt;clear_tasks_mm_cpumask@/usr/src/debug/kernel-5.2.fc30/linux-5.2.18-200.fc30.x86_64/kernel/cpu.c:0&gt;
        0  void clear_tasks_mm_cpumask(int cpu)
        1  {
        2  	struct task_struct *p;

  [root@quaco ~]# perf probe clear_tasks_mm_cpumask:0
  Probe point 'clear_tasks_mm_cpumask' not found.
    Error: Failed to add events.
  [root@quaco
