perf tools: Fix trigger class trigger_on()

2018-03-06T14:31:14+00:00

trigger_on() means that the trigger is available but not ready, however
trigger_on() was making it ready. That can segfault if the signal comes
before trigger_ready(). e.g. (USR2 signal delivery not shown)

  $ perf record -e intel_pt//u -S sleep 1
  perf: Segmentation fault

perf stat: Fix CVS output format for non-supported counters

2018-03-06T13:53:52+00:00

When printing stats in CSV mode, 'perf stat' appends extra separators
when a counter is not supported:

,,L1-dcache-store-misses,mesos/bd442f34-2b4a-47df-b966-9b281f9f56fc,0,100.00,,,,

Which causes a failure when parsing fields. The numbers of separators
should be the same for each line, no matter if the counter is or not
supported.

perf record: Fix crash in pipe mode

2018-03-05T14:52:41+00:00

Currently we can crash perf record when running in pipe mode, like:

  $ perf record ls | perf report
  # To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options.
  #
  perf: Segmentation fault
  Error:
  The - file has no samples!

The callstack of the crash is:

    0x0000000000515242 in perf_event__synthesize_event_update_name
  3513            ev = event_update_event__new(len + 1, PERF_EVENT_UPDATE__NAME, evsel->id[0]);
  (gdb) bt
  #0  0x0000000000515242 in perf_event__synthesize_event_update_name
  #1  0x00000000005158a4 in perf_event__synthesize_extra_attr
  #2  0x0000000000443347 in record__synthesize
  #3  0x00000000004438e3 in __cmd_record
  #4  0x000000000044514e in cmd_record
  #5  0x00000000004cbc95 in run_builtin
  #6  0x00000000004cbf02 in handle_internal_command
  #7  0x00000000004cc054 in run_argv
  #8  0x00000000004cc422 in main

The reason of the crash is that the evsel does not have ids array
allocated and the pipe's synthesize code tries to access it.

We don't force evsel ids allocation when we have single event, because
it's not needed. However we need it when we are in pipe mode even for
single event as a key for evsel update event.

Fixing this by forcing evsel ids allocation event for single event, when
we are in pipe mode.

perf annotate browser: Be more robust when drawing jump arrows

2018-03-05T14:50:15+00:00

This first happened with a gcc function, _cpp_lex_token, that has the
usual jumps:

 │1159e6c: ↓ jne    115aa32 <_cpp_lex_token@@Base+0xf92>

I.e. jumps to a label inside that function (_cpp_lex_token), and those
works, but also this kind:

 │1159e8b: ↓ jne    c469be 

I.e. jumps to another function, outside _cpp_lex_token, which are not
being correctly handled generating as a side effect references to
ab->offset[] entries that are set to NULL, so to make this code more
robust, check that here.

A proper fix for will be put in place, looking at the function name
right after the '<' token and probably treating this like a 'call'
instruction.

For now just don't draw the arrow.

perf top: Fix annoying fallback message on older kernels

2018-03-05T14:48:56+00:00

On older (e.g. v4.4) kernels, an annoying fallback message can be
observed in 'perf top':

	┌─Warning:──────────────────────┐
	│fall back to non-overwrite mode│
	│                               │
	│                               │
	│Press any key...               │
	└───────────────────────────────┘

The 'perf top' utility has been changed to overwrite mode since commit
ebebbf082357 ("perf top: Switch default mode to overwrite mode").

For older kernels which don't have overwrite mode support, 'perf top'
will fall back to non-overwrite mode and print out the fallback message
using ui__warning(), which needs user's input to close.

The fallback message is not critical for end users. Turning it to debug
message which is printed when running with -vv.

perf kallsyms: Fix the usage on the man page

2018-03-05T14:48:37+00:00

First, all man pages highlight only perf and subcommands except 'perf
kallsyms', which includes the full usage. Fix it for commands to
monopolize underlines.

Second, options can be ommited when executing 'perf kallsyms', so add
square brackets between

tools: fix cross-compile var clobbering

2018-02-21T23:35:42+00:00

Currently a number of Makefiles break when used with toolchains that
pass extra flags in CC and other cross-compile related variables (such
as --sysroot).

Thus we get this error when we use a toolchain that puts --sysroot in
the CC var:

  ~/src/linux/tools$ make iio
  [snip]
  iio_event_monitor.c:18:10: fatal error: unistd.h: No such file or directory
    #include 
             ^~~~~~~~~~

This occurs because we clobber several env vars related to
cross-compiling with lines like this:

  CC = $(CROSS_COMPILE)gcc

Although this will point to a valid cross-compiler, we lose any extra
flags that might exist in the CC variable, which can break toolchains
that rely on them (for example, those that use --sysroot).

This easily shows up using a Yocto SDK:

  $ . [snip]/sdk/environment-setup-cortexa8hf-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi

  $ echo $CC
  arm-poky-linux-gnueabi-gcc -march=armv7-a -mfpu=neon -mfloat-abi=hard
  -mcpu=cortex-a8
  --sysroot=[snip]/sdk/sysroots/cortexa8hf-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi

  $ echo $CROSS_COMPILE
  arm-poky-linux-gnueabi-

  $ echo ${CROSS_COMPILE}gcc
  krm-poky-linux-gnueabi-gcc

Although arm-poky-linux-gnueabi-gcc is a cross-compiler, we've lost the
--sysroot and other flags that enable us to find the right libraries to
link against, so we can't find unistd.h and other libraries and headers.
Normally with the --sysroot flag we would find unistd.h in the sdk
directory in the sysroot:

  $ find [snip]/sdk/sysroots -path '*/usr/include/unistd.h'
  [snip]/sdk/sysroots/cortexa8hf-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi/usr/include/unistd.h

The perf Makefile adds CC = $(CROSS_COMPILE)gcc if and only if CC is not
already set, and it compiles correctly with the above toolchain.

So, generalize the logic that perf uses in the common Makefile and
remove the manual CC = $(CROSS_COMPILE)gcc lines from each Makefile.

Note that this patch does not fix cross-compile for all the tools (some
have other bugs), but it does fix it for all except usb and acpi, which
still have other unrelated issues.

I tested both with and without the patch on native and cross-build and
there appear to be no regressions.

perf s390: Rework system call table creation by using syscall.tbl

2018-02-15T13:06:08+00:00

Recently, s390 uses a syscall.tbl input file to generate its system call
table and unistd uapi header files.  Hence, update mksyscalltbl to use
it as input to create the system table for perf.
