perf symbols: Fix symbols__fixup_end heuristic for corner cases

2017-12-20T09:01:31+00:00

[ Upstream commit e7ede72a6d40cb3a30c087142d79381ca8a31dab ]

The current symbols__fixup_end() heuristic for the last entry in the rb
tree is suboptimal as it leads to not being able to recognize the symbol
in the call graph in a couple of corner cases, for example:

 i) If the symbol has a start address (f.e. exposed via kallsyms)
    that is at a page boundary, then the roundup(curr->start, 4096)
    for the last entry will result in curr->start == curr->end with
    a symbol length of zero.

ii) If the symbol has a start address that is shortly before a page
    boundary, then also here, curr->end - curr->start will just be
    very few bytes, where it's unrealistic that we could perform a
    match against.

Instead, change the heuristic to roundup(curr->start, 4096) + 4096, so
that we can catch such corner cases and have a better chance to find
that specific symbol. It's still just best effort as the real end of the
symbol is unknown to us (and could even be at a larger offset than the
current range), but better than the current situation.

Alexei reported that he recently run into case i) with a JITed eBPF
program (these are all page aligned) as the last symbol which wasn't
properly shown in the call graph (while other eBPF program symbols in
the rb tree were displayed correctly). Since this is a generic issue,
lets try to improve the heuristic a bit.

perf test attr: Fix ignored test case result

2017-12-09T17:29:47+00:00

[ Upstream commit 22905582f6dd4bbd0c370fe5732c607452010c04 ]

Command perf test -v 16 (Setup struct perf_event_attr test) always
reports success even if the test case fails.  It works correctly if you
also specify -F (for don't fork).

   root@s35lp76 perf]# ./perf test -v 16

   FAILED './tests/attr/test-record-no-delay' - match failure

   ---- end ----
   Setup struct perf_event_attr: Ok

The reason for the wrong error reporting is the return value of the
system() library call. It is called in run_dir() file tests/attr.c and
returns the exit status, in above case 0xff00.

This value is given as parameter to the exit() function which can only
handle values 0-0xff.

The child process terminates with exit value of 0 and the parent does
not detect any error.

This patch corrects the error reporting and prints the correct test
result.

perf annotate: Fix broken arrow at row 0 connecting jmp instruction to its target

2017-07-27T22:03:28+00:00

commit 80f62589fa52f530cffc50e78c0b5a2ae572d61e upstream.

When the jump instruction is displayed at the row 0 in annotate view,
the arrow is broken. An example:

 16.86 │   ┌──je     82
  0.01 │      movsd  (%rsp),%xmm0
       │      movsd  0x8(%rsp),%xmm4

       │      divsd  %xmm4,%xmm0
       │      divsd  %xmm3,%xmm1
       │      movsd  (%rsp),%xmm2
       │      addsd  %xmm1,%xmm0
       │      addsd  %xmm2,%xmm0
       │      movsd  %xmm0,(%rsp)
       │82:   sub    $0x1,%ebx
 83.03 │    ↑ jne    38
       │      add    $0x10,%rsp
       │      xor    %eax,%eax
       │      pop    %rbx
       │    ← retq

The patch increments the row number before checking with 0.

Add the text from

perf tools: Dont stop PMU parsing on alias parse error

[ Upstream commit 940db6dcd3f4659303fdf6befe7416adc4d24118 ]

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 header: Fixup reading of HEADER_NRCPUS feature

2015-10-28T02:12:57+00:00

[ Upstream commit caa470475d9b59eeff093ae650800d34612c4379 ]

The original patch introducing this header wrote the number of CPUs available
and online in one order and then swapped those values when reading, fix it.

Before:

  # perf record usleep 1
  # perf report --header-only | grep 'nrcpus \(online\|avail\)'
  # nrcpus online : 4
  # nrcpus avail : 4
  # echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu2/online
  # perf record usleep 1
  # perf report --header-only | grep 'nrcpus \(online\|avail\)'
  # nrcpus online : 4
  # nrcpus avail : 3
  # echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
  # perf record usleep 1
  # perf report --header-only | grep 'nrcpus \(online\|avail\)'
  # nrcpus online : 4
  # nrcpus avail : 2

After the fix, bringing back the CPUs online:

  # perf report --header-only | grep 'nrcpus \(online\|avail\)'
  # nrcpus online : 2
  # nrcpus avail : 4
  # echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu2/online
  # perf record usleep 1
  # perf report --header-only | grep 'nrcpus \(online\|avail\)'
  # nrcpus online : 3
  # nrcpus avail : 4
  # echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
  # perf record usleep 1
  # perf report --header-only | grep 'nrcpus \(online\|avail\)'
  # nrcpus online : 4
  # nrcpus avail : 4

perf stat: Get correct cpu id for print_aggr

2015-10-28T02:12:56+00:00

[ Upstream commit 601083cffb7cabdcc55b8195d732f0f7028570fa ]

print_aggr() fails to print per-core/per-socket statistics after commit
582ec0829b3d ("perf stat: Fix per-socket output bug for uncore events")
if events have differnt cpus. Because in print_aggr(), aggr_get_id needs
index (not cpu id) to find core/pkg id. Also, evsel cpu maps should be
used to get aggregated id.

Here is an example:

Counting events cycles,uncore_imc_0/cas_count_read/. (Uncore event has
cpumask 0,18)

  $ perf stat -e cycles,uncore_imc_0/cas_count_read/ -C0,18 --per-core sleep 2

Without this patch, it failes to get CPU 18 result.

   Performance counter stats for 'CPU(s) 0,18':

  S0-C0           1            7526851      cycles
  S0-C0           1               1.05 MiB  uncore_imc_0/cas_count_read/
  S1-C0           0            cycles
  S1-C0           0       MiB  uncore_imc_0/cas_count_read/

With this patch, it can get both CPU0 and CPU18 result.

   Performance counter stats for 'CPU(s) 0,18':

  S0-C0           1            6327768      cycles
  S0-C0           1               0.47 MiB  uncore_imc_0/cas_count_read/
  S1-C0           1             330228      cycles

perf report: Add support for srcfile sort key

2015-10-28T02:12:56+00:00

[ Upstream commit 31191a85fb875cf123cea56bbfd34f4b941f3c79 ]

In some cases it's useful to characterize samples by file. This is
useful to get a higher level categorization, for example to map cost to
subsystems.

Add a srcfile sort key to perf report. It builds on top of the existing
srcline support.

Commiter notes:

E.g.:

  # perf record -F 10000 usleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.016 MB perf.data (13 samples) ]
  [root@zoo ~]# perf report -s srcfile --stdio
  # Total Lost Samples: 0
  #
  # Samples: 13  of event 'cycles'
  # Event count (approx.): 869878
  #
  # Overhead  Source File
  # ........  ...........
      60.99%  .
      20.62%  paravirt.h
      14.23%  rmap.c
       4.04%  signal.c
       0.11%  msr.h

  #

The first line is collecting all the files for which srcfiles couldn't somehow
get resolved to:

  # perf report -s srcfile,dso --stdio
  # Total Lost Samples: 0
  #
  # Samples: 13  of event 'cycles'
  # Event count (approx.): 869878
  #
  # Overhead  Source File  Shared Object
  # ........  ...........  ................
      40.97%  .            ld-2.20.so
      20.62%  paravirt.h   [kernel.vmlinux]
      20.02%  .            libc-2.20.so
      14.23%  rmap.c       [kernel.vmlinux]
       4.04%  signal.c     [kernel.vmlinux]

perf tools: Fix copying of /proc/kcore

2015-10-28T02:12:55+00:00

[ Upstream commit b5cabbcbd157a4bf5a92dfc85134999a3b55342d ]

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.
