perf probe: Use existing routine to look for a kernel module by dso->short_name

2015-10-22T21:49:15+00:00

commit 266fa2b22294909ddf6e7d2f8acfe07adf9fd978 upstream.

We have map_groups__find_by_name() to look at the list of modules that
are in place for a given machine, so use it instead of traversing the
machine dso list, which also includes DSOs for userspace.

When merging the user and kernel DSO lists a bug was introduced where
'perf probe' stopped being able to add probes to modules using its short
name:

  # perf probe -m usbnet --add usbnet_start_xmit
  usbnet_start_xmit is out of .text, skip it.
    Error: Failed to add events.
  #

With this fix it works again:

  # perf probe -m usbnet --add usbnet_start_xmit
  Added new event:
    probe:usbnet_start_xmit (on usbnet_start_xmit in usbnet)

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

  	perf record -e probe:usbnet_start_xmit -aR sleep 1

perf header: Fixup reading of HEADER_NRCPUS feature

2015-10-22T21:49:15+00:00

commit caa470475d9b59eeff093ae650800d34612c4379 upstream.

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

Following commit changed parse_events_add_pmu interface:

perf tools: Add empty Build files for architectures lacking them

2015-10-22T21:49:15+00:00

commit 93df8a1ed6231727c5db94a80b1a6bd5ee67cec3 upstream.

perf currently fails to build on MIPS as there is no
tools/perf/arch/mips/Build file.  Adding an empty file fixes this as
there are no MIPS-specific sources to build.

It looks like the same is needed for Alpha and PA-RISC, though I
haven't been able to test those.

perf stat: Get correct cpu id for print_aggr

2015-10-22T21:49:15+00:00

commit 601083cffb7cabdcc55b8195d732f0f7028570fa upstream.

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 hists: Update the column width for the "srcline" sort key

2015-10-22T21:49:15+00:00

commit e8e6d37e73e6b950c891c780745460b87f4755b6 upstream.

When we introduce a new sort key, we need to update the
hists__calc_col_len() function accordingly, otherwise the width
will be limited to strlen(header).

We can't update it when obtaining a line value for a column (for
instance, in sort__srcline_cmp()), because we reset it all when doing a
resort (see hists__output_recalc_col_len()), so we need to, from what is
in the hist_entry fields, set each of the column widths.

perf tools: Fix copying of /proc/kcore

2015-10-22T21:49:15+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.

perf top: Show backtrace when handling a SIGSEGV on --stdio mode

2015-08-19T18:16:08+00:00

It was just freezing instead of informing about the SEGV, fix it and
also print a backtrace, just like in the TUI mode and in 'perf trace'.

perf tools: Fix buildid processing

2015-08-19T17:15:26+00:00

After recording, 'perf record' post-processes the data to determine
which buildids are needed.

That processing must process the data in time order, if possible,
because otherwise dependent events, like forks and mmaps, will not make
sense.
