perf tests: Fix compile when libunwind's unwind.h is available

2017-09-12T15:34:02+00:00

When cross compiling perf and I want to link against a self-compiled
libunwind, I usually make the custom path where the libunwind headers
exist visible by adding the libunwind prefix to the include path when
compiling perf, i.e.:

~~~~~
$ ls $HOME/projects/compiled/other/include/
libunwind-coredump.h  libunwind.h         libunwind-x86_64.h
libunwind-common.h  libunwind-dynamic.h   libunwind-ptrace.h
unwind.h
$ make EXTRA_CFLAGS="-I$HOME/projects/compiled/other/include/
~~~~~~

Note the `unwind.h` header from libunwind which leads to compile
errors when compiling tests/dwarf-unwind.c, since it shadows perf's
util/unwind.h:

~~~~~
tests/dwarf-unwind.c:41:32: error: ‘struct unwind_entry’ declared inside parameter list will not be visible outside of this definition or declaration [-Werror]
 static int unwind_entry(struct unwind_entry *entry, void *arg)
                                ^~~~~~~~~~~~
tests/dwarf-unwind.c: In function ‘unwind_entry’:
tests/dwarf-unwind.c:44:22: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type ‘struct unwind_entry’
  char *symbol = entry->sym ? entry->sym->name : NULL;
                      ^~
tests/dwarf-unwind.c: In function ‘unwind_thread’:
tests/dwarf-unwind.c:92:8: error: implicit declaration of function ‘unwind__get_entries’; did you mean ‘unwind_entry’? [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
  err = unwind__get_entries(unwind_entry, &cnt, thread,
        ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        unwind_entry
tests/dwarf-unwind.c:92:8: error: nested extern declaration of ‘unwind__get_entries’ [-Werror=nested-externs]
~~~~~~

Fix this compile error by specificing an explicit include of perf's
unwind.h in the util folder.

perf test powerpc: Fix 'Object code reading' test

2017-09-01T17:45:59+00:00

'Object code reading' test always fails on powerpc guest. Two reasons
for the failure are:

1. When elf section is too big (size beyond 'unsigned int' max value).
objdump fails to disassemble from such section. This was fixed with
commit 0f6329bd7fc ("binutils/objdump: Fix disassemble for huge elf
sections") in binutils.

2. When the sample is from hypervisor. Hypervisor symbols can not be
resolved within guest and thus thread__find_addr_map() fails for such
symbols. Fix this by ignoring hypervisor symbols in the test.

perf test: Add test cases for new data source encoding

2017-08-22T16:23:10+00:00

Add some simple tests to perf test to test data source printing.

v2: Make the tests actually checked for the correct name of Forward
v3: Adjust to new encoding

Committer notes:

Avoid the in place declaration to make this build with older compilers,
for instance, in Debian 7 we get:

  tests/mem.c: In function 'test__mem':
  tests/mem.c:30:5: error: missing initializer [-Werror=missing-field-initializers]
  tests/mem.c:30:5: error: (near initialization for '(anonymous)..mem_snoop') [-Werror=missing-field-initializers]

So just zero a struct, then go on building the unions as needed,
reusing settings from the previous test, i.e. local -> remote, etc.

perf tools: Expression parser enhancements for metrics

2017-08-22T15:15:53+00:00

Enhance the expression parser for more complex metric formulas.

- Support python style IF ELSE operators
- Add an #SMT_On magic variable for formulas that depend on the SMT
status.

Example: 4 *( CPU_CLK_UNHALTED.THREAD_ANY / 2 ) if #SMT_on else cycles

- Support MIN/MAX operations

Example: min(1 , IDQ.MITE_UOPS / ( UPI * 16 * ( ICACHE.HIT + ICACHE.MISSES ) / 4.0 ) )

This is useful to fix up problems caused by multiplexing.

- Support | & ^ operators
- Minor cleanups and fixes
- Support an \ escape for operators. This allows to specify event names
like c2-residency
- Support @ as an alternative for / to be able to specify pmus without
conflicts with operators (like msr/tsc/ as msr@tsc@)

Example: (cstate_core@c3\\-residency@ / msr@tsc@) * 100

The event is allocated with cpus == 1, but freed with cpus == real number
When the evsel close function walks the file descriptors it exceeds the
fd xyarray boundaries and reads random memory.

v2:

Now that xyarrays save their original dimensions we can use these to
iterate the two dimensional fd arrays. Fix some users (close, ioctl) in
evsel.c to use these fields directly. This allows simplifying the code
and dropping quite a few function arguments. Adjust all callers by
removing the unneeded arguments.

The actual perf event reading still uses the original values from the
evsel list.

perf bpf: Fix endianness problem when loading parameters in prologue

2017-08-16T13:31:11+00:00

Perf's BPF prologue generator unconditionally fetches 8 bytes for
function parameters, which causes problems on big endian machines. Thomas
gives a detailed analysis for this problem:

 http://lkml.kernel.org/r/968ebda5-abe4-8830-8d69-49f62529d151@linux.vnet.ibm.com

 ---- 8< ----
  I investigated perf test BPF for s390x and have a question regarding
  the 38.3 subtest (bpf-prologue test) which fails on s390x.

  When I turn on trace_printk in tests/bpf-script-test-prologue.c
  I see this output in /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace:

  [root@s8360047 perf]# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace

  perf-30229 [000] d..2 170161.535841: : f_mode 6001f00000000 offset:4 orig:0

  [...]

  There are 3 parameters the eBPF program tests/bpf-script-test-prologue.c
  accesses: f_mode (member of struct file at offset 140) offset and orig.  They
  are parameters of the lseek() system call triggered in this test case in
  function llseek_loop().

  What is really strange is the value of f_mode. It is an 8 byte value, whereas
  in the probe event it is defined as a 4 byte value.  The lower 4 bytes are all
  zero and do not belong to member f_mode.  The correct value should be 2001d for
  read-only and 6001f for read-write open mode.

  Here is the output of the 'perf test -vv bpf' trace:
  Try to find probe point from debuginfo.

This patch parses the type of each argument and converts data from memory to
expected type.

Now the test runs successfully on 4.13.0-rc5:
