perf symbols: Fix symbols__fixup_end heuristic for corner cases

2017-12-20T09:04:56+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

2017-12-09T17:42:41+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
   15: Setup struct perf_event_attr               :
   --- start ---
   running './tests/attr/test-record-no-delay'

   [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.002 MB /tmp/tmp4E1h7R/perf.data
     (1 samples) ]

   FAILED './tests/attr/test-record-no-delay' - match failure
   test child finished with 0
   ---- 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 tools: Fix build failure on perl script context

2017-11-08T09:06:28+00:00

commit b581c01fff646b5075d65359c8667de9c667da9e upstream.

On my Archlinux machine, perf faild to build like below:

    CC       scripts/perl/Perf-Trace-Util/Context.o
  In file included from /usr/lib/perl5/core/perl/CORE/perl.h:3905:0,

         AV *av;
             ^~

What I did to fix is adding '-Wno-shadow' as the error message said it's
the cause of the failure.  Since it's from the perl (not perf) code
base, we don't have the control so I just wanted to ignore the warning
when compiling perl scripting code.

Committer note:

This also fixes the build on Fedora Rawhide.

perf symbols: Robustify reading of build-id from sysfs

2017-08-07T02:19:46+00:00

[ Upstream commit 7934c98a6e04028eb34c1293bfb5a6b0ab630b66 ]

Markus reported that perf segfaults when reading /sys/kernel/notes from
a kernel linked with GNU gold, due to what looks like a gold bug, so do
some bounds checking to avoid crashing in that case.

Those are binaries as well, so should be installed by:

  make -C tools/perf install-bin'

too.

perf intel-pt: Ensure never to set 'last_ip' when packet 'count' is zero

2017-08-07T02:19:40+00:00

commit f952eaceb089b691eba7c4e13686e742a8f26bf5 upstream.

Intel PT uses IP compression based on the last IP. For decoding purposes,
'last IP' is not updated when a branch target has been suppressed, which is
indicated by IPBytes == 0. IPBytes is stored in the packet 'count', so
ensure never to set 'last_ip' when packet 'count' is zero.

perf intel-pt: Use FUP always when scanning for an IP

2017-08-07T02:19:40+00:00

commit 622b7a47b843c78626f40c1d1aeef8483383fba2 upstream.

The decoder will try to use branch packets to find an IP to start decoding
or to recover from errors. Currently the FUP packet is used only in the
case of an overflow, however there is no reason for that to be a special
case. So just use FUP always when scanning for an IP.

perf intel-pt: Fix last_ip usage

2017-08-07T02:19:40+00:00

commit ee14ac0ef6827cd6f9a572cc83dd0191ea17812c upstream.

Intel PT uses IP compression based on the last IP. For decoding
purposes, 'last IP' is considered to be reset to zero whenever there is
a synchronization packet (PSB). The decoder wasn't doing that, and was
treating the zero value to mean that there was no last IP, whereas
compression can be done against the zero value. Fix by setting last_ip
to zero when a PSB is received and keep track of have_last_ip.

perf intel-pt: Fix ip compression

2017-08-07T02:19:40+00:00

commit e1717e0485af4f47fc4da1e979ac817f9ad61b0f upstream.

The June 2015 Intel SDM introduced IP Compression types 4 and 6. Refer
to section 36.4.2.2 Target IP (TIP) Packet - IP Compression.

Existing Intel PT packet decoder did not support type 4, and got type 6
wrong.  Because type 3 and type 4 have the same number of bytes, the
packet 'count' has been changed from being the number of ip bytes to
being the type code.  That allows the Intel PT decoder to correctly
decide whether to sign-extend or use the last ip.  However that also
meant the code had to be adjusted in a number of places.

Currently hardware is not using the new compression types, so this fix
has no effect on existing hardware.
