perf symbols: Fixup symbol sizes before picking best ones

2017-02-23T03:53:56+00:00

commit 432746f8e0b6a82ba832b771afe31abd51af6752 upstream.

When we call symbol__fixup_duplicate() we use algorithms to pick the
"best" symbols for cases where there are various functions/aliases to an
address, and those check zero size symbols, which, before calling
symbol__fixup_end() are _all_ symbols in a just parsed kallsyms file.

So first fixup the end, then fixup the duplicates.

Found while trying to figure out why 'perf test vmlinux' failed, see the
output of 'perf test -v vmlinux' to see cases where the symbols picked
as best for vmlinux don't match the ones picked for kallsyms.

perf tools: Fix perf regs mask generation

2016-08-22T21:37:58+00:00

commit f47822078dece7189cad0a5f472f148e5e916736 upstream.

On some architectures (powerpc in particular), the number of registers
exceeds what can be represented in an integer bitmask. Ensure we
generate the proper bitmask on such platforms.

perf stat: Document --detailed option

2016-04-30T22:05:54+00:00

commit f594bae08183fb6b57db55387794ece3e1edf6f6 upstream.

I'm surprised this remained undocumented since at least 2011. And it is
actually a very useful switch, as Steve and I came to realize recently.

Add the text from

  2cba3ffb9a9d ("perf stat: Add -d -d and -d -d -d options to show more CPU events")

which added the incrementing aspect to -d.

perf tools: Dont stop PMU parsing on alias parse error

2016-04-30T22:05:49+00:00

commit 940db6dcd3f4659303fdf6befe7416adc4d24118 upstream.

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 tools: handle spaces in file names obtained from /proc/pid/maps

commit 89fee59b504f86925894fcc9ba79d5c933842f93 upstream.

Steam frequently puts game binaries in folders with spaces.

Note: "(deleted)" markers are now treated as part of the file name.

perf pmu: Fix misleadingly indented assignment (whitespace)

2016-04-30T22:05:44+00:00

commit d85ce830eef6c10d1e9617172dea4681f02b8424 upstream.

One line in perf_pmu__parse_unit() is indented wrongly, leading to a
warning (=> error) from gcc 6:

  util/pmu.c:156:3: error: statement is indented as if it were guarded by... [-Werror=misleading-indentation]

    sret = read(fd, alias->unit, UNIT_MAX_LEN);

perf trace: Fix documentation for -i

2015-12-13T17:49:43+00:00

commit 956959f6b7a982b2e789a7a8fa1de437074a5eb9 upstream.

The -i flag was incorrectly listed as a short flag for --no-inherit.  It
should have only been listed as a short flag for --input.

This documentation error has existed since the --input flag was
introduced in 6810fc915f7a89d8134edb3996dbbf8eac386c26 (perf trace: Add

perf tools: Fix copying of /proc/kcore

2015-10-19T13:31:37+00:00

commit b5cabbcbd157a4bf5a92dfc85134999a3b55342d upstream.

A copy of /proc/kcore containing the kernel text can be made to the
buildid cache. e.g.

	perf buildid-cache -v -k /proc/kcore

To workaround objdump limitations, a copy is also made when annotating
against /proc/kcore.

The copying process stops working from libelf about v1.62 onwards (the
problem was found with v1.63).

The cause is that a call to gelf_getphdr() in kcore__add_phdr() fails
because additional validation has been added to gelf_getphdr().

The use of gelf_getphdr() is a misguided attempt to get default
initialization of the Gelf_Phdr structure.  That should not be
necessary because every member of the Gelf_Phdr structure is
subsequently assigned.  So just remove the call to gelf_getphdr().

Similarly, a call to gelf_getehdr() in gelf_kcore__init() can be
removed also.

Committer notes:

Note to stable@kernel.org, from Adrian in the cover letter for this
patchkit:

The "Fix copying of /proc/kcore" problem goes back to v3.13 if you think
it is important enough for stable.
