perf intel-pt: Fix TSC slip

2019-04-03T04:27:37+00:00

commit f3b4e06b3bda759afd042d3d5fa86bea8f1fe278 upstream.

A TSC packet can slip past MTC packets so that the timestamp appears to
go backwards. One estimate is that can be up to about 40 CPU cycles,
which is certainly less than 0x1000 TSC ticks, but accept slippage an
order of magnitude more to be on the safe side.

perf pmu: Fix parser error for uncore event alias

2019-04-03T04:27:37+00:00

commit e94d6b7f615e6dfbaf9fba7db6011db561461d0c upstream.

Perf fails to parse uncore event alias, for example:

  # perf stat -e unc_m_clockticks -a --no-merge sleep 1
  event syntax error: 'unc_m_clockticks'
                       \___ parser error

Current code assumes that the event alias is from one specific PMU.

To find the PMU, perf strcmps the PMU name of event alias with the real
PMU name on the system.

However, the uncore event alias may be from multiple PMUs with common
prefix. The PMU name of uncore event alias is the common prefix.

For example, UNC_M_CLOCKTICKS is clock event for iMC, which include 6
PMUs with the same prefix "uncore_imc" on a skylake server.

The real PMU names on the system for iMC are uncore_imc_0 ...
uncore_imc_5.

The strncmp is used to only check the common prefix for uncore event
alias.

With the patch:

  # perf stat -e unc_m_clockticks -a --no-merge sleep 1
  Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

       723,594,722      unc_m_clockticks [uncore_imc_5]
       724,001,954      unc_m_clockticks [uncore_imc_3]
       724,042,655      unc_m_clockticks [uncore_imc_1]
       724,161,001      unc_m_clockticks [uncore_imc_4]
       724,293,713      unc_m_clockticks [uncore_imc_2]
       724,340,901      unc_m_clockticks [uncore_imc_0]

perf probe: Fix getting the kernel map

2019-03-27T05:17:55+00:00

commit eaeffeb9838a7c0dec981d258666bfcc0fa6a947 upstream.

Since commit 4d99e4136580 ("perf machine: Workaround missing maps for
x86 PTI entry trampolines"), perf tools has been creating more than one
kernel map, however 'perf probe' assumed there could be only one.

Fix by using machine__kernel_map() to get the main kernel map.

perf intel-pt: Fix divide by zero when TSC is not available

2019-03-23T19:11:38+00:00

commit 076333870c2f5bdd9b6d31e7ca1909cf0c84cbfa upstream.

When TSC is not available, "timeless" decoding is used but a divide by
zero occurs if perf_time_to_tsc() is called.

Ensure the divisor is not zero.

perf tools: Fix split_kallsyms_for_kcore() for trampoline symbols

2019-03-23T19:11:37+00:00

commit d6d457451eb94fa747dc202765592eb8885a7352 upstream.

Kallsyms symbols do not have a size, so the size becomes the distance to
the next symbol.

Consequently the recently added trampoline symbols end up with large
sizes because the trampolines are some distance from one another and the
main kernel map.

However, symbols that end outside their map can disrupt the symbol tree
because, after mapping, it can appear incorrectly that they overlap
other symbols.

Add logic to truncate symbol size to the end of the corresponding map.

perf intel-pt: Fix CYC timestamp calculation after OVF

2019-03-23T19:11:37+00:00

commit 03997612904866abe7cdcc992784ef65cb3a4b81 upstream.

CYC packet timestamp calculation depends upon CBR which was being
cleared upon overflow (OVF). That can cause errors due to failing to
synchronize with sideband events. Even if a CBR change has been lost,
the old CBR is still a better estimate than zero. So remove the clearing
of CBR.

perf script python: Add Python3 support to tests/attr.py

2019-02-05T13:31:08+00:00

Support both Python 2 and Python 3 in tests/attr.py

now v2.6

  $ make -C tools/perf PYTHON3=python install-bin

perf trace: Support multiple "vfs_getname" probes

2019-02-04T18:50:38+00:00

With a suitably defined "probe:vfs_getname" probe, 'perf trace' can
"beautify" its output, so syscalls like open() or openat() can print the
"filename" argument instead of just its hex address, like:

  $ perf trace -e open -- touch /dev/null
  [...]
       0.590 ( 0.014 ms): touch/18063 open(filename: /dev/null, flags: CREAT|NOCTTY|NONBLOCK|WRONLY, mode: IRUGO|IWUGO) = 3
  [...]

The output without such beautifier looks like:

     0.529 ( 0.011 ms): touch/18075 open(filename: 0xc78cf288, flags: CREAT|NOCTTY|NONBLOCK|WRONLY, mode: IRUGO|IWUGO) = 3

However, when the vfs_getname probe expands to multiple probes and it is
not the first one that is hit, the beautifier fails, as following:

     0.326 ( 0.010 ms): touch/18072 open(filename: , flags: CREAT|NOCTTY|NONBLOCK|WRONLY, mode: IRUGO|IWUGO) = 3

Fix it by hooking into all the expanded probes (inlines), now, for instance:

  [root@quaco ~]# perf probe -l
    probe:vfs_getname    (on getname_flags:73@fs/namei.c with pathname)
    probe:vfs_getname_1  (on getname_flags:73@fs/namei.c with pathname)
  [root@quaco ~]# perf trace -e open* sleep 1
       0.010 ( 0.005 ms): sleep/5588 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: /etc/ld.so.cache, flags: RDONLY|CLOEXEC)   = 3
       0.029 ( 0.006 ms): sleep/5588 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: /lib64/libc.so.6, flags: RDONLY|CLOEXEC)   = 3
       0.194 ( 0.008 ms): sleep/5588 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive, flags: RDONLY|CLOEXEC) = 3
  [root@quaco ~]#

Works, further verified with:

  [root@quaco ~]# perf test vfs
  65: Use vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames   : Ok
  66: Add vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames   : Ok
  67: Check open filename arg using perf trace + vfs_getname: Ok
  [root@quaco ~]#
