perf symbols: Fixup symbol sizes before picking best ones

2017-02-23T03:53:56+00:00

commit 432746f8e0b6a82ba832b771afe31abd51af6752 upstream.

When we call symbol__fixup_duplicate() we use algorithms to pick the
"best" symbols for cases where there are various functions/aliases to an
address, and those check zero size symbols, which, before calling
symbol__fixup_end() are _all_ symbols in a just parsed kallsyms file.

So first fixup the end, then fixup the duplicates.

Found while trying to figure out why 'perf test vmlinux' failed, see the
output of 'perf test -v vmlinux' to see cases where the symbols picked
as best for vmlinux don't match the ones picked for kallsyms.

tools/vm/slabinfo: fix an unintentional printf

commit 2d6a4d64812bb12dda53704943b61a7496d02098 upstream.

The curly braces are missing here so we print stuff unintentionally.

perf tools: Fix perf regs mask generation

2016-08-22T21:37:58+00:00

commit f47822078dece7189cad0a5f472f148e5e916736 upstream.

On some architectures (powerpc in particular), the number of registers
exceeds what can be represented in an integer bitmask. Ensure we
generate the proper bitmask on such platforms.

tools lib traceevent: Do not reassign parg after collapse_tree()

2016-06-15T20:29:32+00:00

commit 106b816cb46ebd87408b4ed99a2e16203114daa6 upstream.

At the end of process_filter(), collapse_tree() was changed to update
the parg parameter, but the reassignment after the call wasn't removed.

What happens is that the "current_op" gets modified and freed and parg
is assigned to the new allocated argument. But after the call to
collapse_tree(), parg is assigned again to the just freed "current_op",
and this causes the tool to crash.

The current_op variable must also be assigned to NULL in case of error,
otherwise it will cause it to be free()ed twice.

perf stat: Document --detailed option

2016-04-30T22:05:54+00:00

commit f594bae08183fb6b57db55387794ece3e1edf6f6 upstream.

I'm surprised this remained undocumented since at least 2011. And it is
actually a very useful switch, as Steve and I came to realize recently.

Add the text from

  2cba3ffb9a9d ("perf stat: Add -d -d and -d -d -d options to show more CPU events")

which added the incrementing aspect to -d.

perf tools: Dont stop PMU parsing on alias parse error

2016-04-30T22:05:49+00:00

commit 940db6dcd3f4659303fdf6befe7416adc4d24118 upstream.

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 pmu: Fix misleadingly indented assignment (whitespace)

commit d85ce830eef6c10d1e9617172dea4681f02b8424 upstream.

One line in perf_pmu__parse_unit() is indented wrongly, leading to a

efi: Make efivarfs entries immutable by default

2016-03-24T10:01:20+00:00

commit ed8b0de5a33d2a2557dce7f9429dca8cb5bc5879 upstream.

"rm -rf" is bricking some peoples' laptops because of variables being
used to store non-reinitializable firmware driver data that's required
to POST the hardware.

These are 100% bugs, and they need to be fixed, but in the mean time it
shouldn't be easy to *accidentally* brick machines.

We have to have delete working, and picking which variables do and don't
work for deletion is quite intractable, so instead make everything
immutable by default (except for a whitelist), and make tools that
aren't quite so broad-spectrum unset the immutable flag.
