perf parse: Fix potential memory leak when handling tracepoint errors

2019-11-22T13:48:14+00:00

An error may be in place when tracepoint_error is called, use
parse_events__handle_error to avoid a memory leak and to capture the
first and last error. Error detected by LLVM's libFuzzer using the
following event:

$ perf stat -e 'msr/event/,f:e'
event syntax error: 'msr/event/,f:e'
                     \___ can't access trace events

Error:  No permissions to read /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/f/e
Hint:   Try 'sudo mount -o remount,mode=755 /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/'

Initial error:
event syntax error: 'msr/event/,f:e'
                                \___ no value assigned for term
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events

 Usage: perf stat [] []

    -e, --event    event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events

perf pmu: When using default config, record which bits of config were changed by the user

2019-11-22T13:48:13+00:00

Default config for a PMU is defined before selected events are parsed.
That allows the user-entered config to override the default config.

However that does not allow for changing the default config based on
other options.

For example, if the user chooses AUX area sampling mode, in the case of
Intel PT, the psb_period needs to be small for sampling, so there is a
need to set the default psb_period to 0 (2 KiB) in that case. However
that should not override a value set by the user. To allow for that,
when using default config, record which bits of config were changed by
the user.

perf record: Add aux-sample-size config term

2019-11-22T13:48:13+00:00

To allow individual events to be selected for AUX area sampling, add
aux-sample-size config term. attr.aux_sample_size is updated by
auxtrace_parse_sample_options() so that the existing validation will see
the value. Any event that has a non-zero aux_sample_size will cause AUX
area sampling to be configured, irrespective of the --aux-sample option.

perf parse: Add a deep delete for parse event terms

perf parse: Ensure config and str in terms are unique

2019-11-06T18:49:40+00:00

Make it easier to release memory associated with parse event terms by
duplicating the string for the config name and ensuring the val string
is a duplicate.

Currently the parser may memory leak terms and this is addressed in a
later patch.

perf parse: Add parse events handle error

2019-11-06T18:49:40+00:00

Parse event error handling may overwrite one error string with another
creating memory leaks. Introduce a helper routine that warns about
multiple error messages as well as avoiding the memory leak.

A reproduction of this problem can be seen with:

  perf stat -e c/c/

After this change this produces:
WARNING: multiple event parsing errors
event syntax error: 'c/c/'
                       \___ unknown term

valid terms: event,filter_rem,filter_opc0,edge,filter_isoc,filter_tid,filter_loc,filter_nc,inv,umask,filter_opc1,tid_en,thresh,filter_all_op,filter_not_nm,filter_state,filter_nm,config,config1,config2,name,period,percore

perf tools: Splice events onto evlist even on error

2019-11-06T18:49:39+00:00

If event parsing fails the event list is leaked, instead splice the list
onto the out result and let the caller cleanup.

An example input for parse_events found by libFuzzer that reproduces
this memory leak is 'm{'.

perf list: Hide deprecated events by default

2019-10-19T18:35:01+00:00

There are some deprecated events listed by perf list. But we can't
remove them from perf list with ease because some old scripts may use
them.

Deprecated events are old names of renamed events.  When an event gets
renamed the old name is kept around for some time and marked with
Deprecated. The newer Intel event lists in the tree already have these
headers.

So we need to keep them in the event list, but provide a new option to
show them. The new option is "--deprecated".

With this patch, the deprecated events are hidden by default but they
can be displayed when option "--deprecated" is enabled.
