perf tools: Fix build with ARCH=x86_64

2017-06-14T18:44:29+00:00

With commit: 0a943cb10ce78 (tools build: Add HOSTARCH Makefile variable)
when building for ARCH=x86_64, ARCH=x86_64 is passed to perf instead of
ARCH=x86, so the perf build process searchs header files from
tools/arch/x86_64/include, which doesn't exist.

The following build failure is seen:

  In file included from util/event.c:2:0:
    tools/include/uapi/linux/mman.h:4:27: fatal error: uapi/asm/mman.h: No such file or directory
    compilation terminated.

Fix this issue by using SRCARCH instead of ARCH in perf, just like the
main kernel Makefile and tools/objtool's.

perf annotate: Add missing powerpc triplet

2017-06-05T17:18:02+00:00

On an Ubuntu xenial system, 'perf annotate' says to install powerpc
objdump on a system that already has binutils-powerpc-linux-gnu
installed.  Make perf aware of the missing triplet for the
powerpc-linux-gnu target.

perf annotate: Fix AArch64 comment char

2017-05-04T13:03:00+00:00

The commit 0fcb1da4aba "perf annotate: AArch64 support" blindly copied
the comment character from the original:

            https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/5/19/461

whereas that same commit shows objdump output utilizing the C++ style
"//" as the comment delimeter.  Since '/' doesn't occur elsewhere in
objdump output, we retain the single character check, but fix it to be
'/'.

perf symbols: Allow user probes on versioned symbols

2017-05-02T21:23:11+00:00

Symbol versioning, as in glibc, results in symbols being defined as:

  @[@]

(Note that "@@" identifies a default symbol, if the symbol name is
repeated.)

perf is currently unable to deal with this, and is unable to create user
probes at such symbols:

  --
  $ nm /lib/powerpc64le-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 | grep pthread_create
  0000000000008d30 t __pthread_create_2_1
  0000000000008d30 T pthread_create@@GLIBC_2.17
  $ /usr/bin/sudo perf probe -v -x /lib/powerpc64le-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 pthread_create
  probe-definition(0): pthread_create
  symbol:pthread_create file:(null) line:0 offset:0 return:0 lazy:(null)
  0 arguments
  Open Debuginfo file: /usr/lib/debug/lib/powerpc64le-linux-gnu/libpthread-2.19.so
  Try to find probe point from debuginfo.
  Probe point 'pthread_create' not found.
     Error: Failed to add events. Reason: No such file or directory (Code: -2)
  --

One is not able to specify the fully versioned symbol, either, due to
syntactic conflicts with other uses of "@" by perf:

  --
  $ /usr/bin/sudo perf probe -v -x /lib/powerpc64le-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 pthread_create@@GLIBC_2.17
  probe-definition(0): pthread_create@@GLIBC_2.17
  Semantic error :SRC@SRC is not allowed.
  0 arguments
     Error: Command Parse Error. Reason: Invalid argument (Code: -22)
  --

This patch ignores versioning for default symbols, thus allowing probes to be
created for these symbols:

  --
  $ /usr/bin/sudo ./perf probe -x /lib/powerpc64le-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 pthread_create
  Added new event:
     probe_libpthread:pthread_create (on pthread_create in /lib/powerpc64le-linux-gnu/libpthread-2.19.so)

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

           perf record -e probe_libpthread:pthread_create -aR sleep 1

  $ /usr/bin/sudo ./perf record -e probe_libpthread:pthread_create -aR ./test 2
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.052 MB perf.data (2 samples) ]
  $ /usr/bin/sudo ./perf script
               test  2915 [000] 19124.260729: probe_libpthread:pthread_create: (3fff99248d38)
               test  2916 [000] 19124.260962: probe_libpthread:pthread_create: (3fff99248d38)
  $ /usr/bin/sudo ./perf probe --del=probe_libpthread:pthread_create
  Removed event: probe_libpthread:pthread_create
  --

Committer note:

Change the variable storing the result of strlen() to 'int', to fix the build
on debian:experimental-x-mipsel, fedora:24-x-ARC-uClibc, ubuntu:16.04-x-arm,
etc:

  util/symbol.c: In function 'symbol__match_symbol_name':
  util/symbol.c:422:11: error: comparison between signed and unsigned integer expressions [-Werror=sign-compare]
     if (len < versioning - name)
             ^

perf tools: Include errno.h where needed

2017-04-19T16:01:51+00:00

Removing it from util.h, part of an effort to disentangle the includes
hell, that makes changes to util.h or something included by it to cause
a complete rebuild of the tools.
