perf symbols: Define EM_AARCH64 for older OSes

2015-02-25T20:39:17+00:00

4886f2ca19f6f added an arm-64 check, but the EM_AARCH64 macro is not
defined in older releases (e.g., RHEL6). Define if it is not defined.

perf top: Fix SIGBUS on sparc64

2015-02-25T20:37:44+00:00

perf-top is terminating due to SIGBUS on sparc64. git bisect points to:

        perf evlist: Refcount mmaps

        We need to know how many fds are using a perf mmap via
        PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT, so that we can know when to ditch an mmap,
        refcount it.

This commit added 'int refcnt' to struct perf_mmap and the addition makes the
event_copy element no longer 8-byte aligned.

Fix by adding __attribute__((aligned(8))) to the event_copy struct
member.

perf tools: Fix probing for PERF_FLAG_FD_CLOEXEC flag

2015-02-25T19:40:13+00:00

Commit f6edb53c4993ffe92ce521fb449d1c146cea6ec2 converted the probe to
a CPU wide event first (pid == -1). For kernels that do not support
the PERF_FLAG_FD_CLOEXEC flag the probe fails with EINVAL. Since this
errno is not handled pid is not reset to 0 and the subsequent use of
pid = -1 as an argument brings in an additional failure path if
perf_event_paranoid > 0:

$ perf record -- sleep 1
perf_event_open(..., 0) failed unexpectedly with error 13 (Permission denied)
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.007 MB /tmp/perf.data (11 samples) ]

Also, ensure the fd of the confirmation check is closed and comment why
pid = -1 is used.

Needs to go to 3.18 stable tree as well.

perf symbols: Convert lseek + read to pread

2015-01-29T20:02:01+00:00

When dso_cache__read() is called, it reads data from the given offset
using lseek + normal read syscall.  It can be combined to a single pread
syscall.

perf symbols: Support to read compressed module from build-id cache

2015-01-29T19:56:54+00:00

The commit c00c48fc6e6e ("perf symbols: Preparation for compressed
kernel module support") added support for compressed kernel modules but
it only supports system path DSOs.  When a dso is read from build-id
cache, its filename doesn't end with ".gz" but has build-id.  In this
case, we should fallback to the original dso->name.

perf evsel: Set attr.task bit for a tracking event

2015-01-29T19:54:59+00:00

The perf_event_attr.task bit is to track task (fork and exit) events but
it missed to be set by perf_evsel__config().  While it was not a problem
in practice since setting other bits (comm/mmap) ended up being in same
result, it'd be good to set it explicitly anyway.

The attr->task is to track task related events (fork/exit) only but
other meta events like comm and mmap[2] also needs the task events.  So
setting attr->comm and/or attr->mmap causes the kernel emits the task
events anyway.  So the attr->task is only meaningful when other bits are
off but I'd like to set it for completeness.

perf header: Set header version correctly

2015-01-29T19:53:11+00:00

When check_magic_endian() is called, it checks the magic number in the
perf data file to determine version and endianness.  But if it uses a
same endian the verison number wasn't updated and makes confusion.

perf tools: Do not use __perf_session__process_events() directly

2015-01-29T19:36:32+00:00

It's only used for perf record to process build-id because its file size
it's not fixed at this time due to remaining header features.

However data offset and size is available so that we can use the
perf_session__process_events() once we set the file size as the current
offset like for now.

perf callchain: Cache eh/debug frame offset for dwarf unwind

2015-01-29T19:20:42+00:00

When libunwind tries to resolve callchains it needs to know the offset
of .eh_frame_hdr or .debug_frame to access the dso.

Since it will always return the same result for a given DSO, just cache
the result as an optimization.

perf evsel: Don't rely on malloc working for sz 0

2015-01-28T15:43:32+00:00

When running perf on ARC (uClibc based userspace), ran into this issue
   ------------->8----------------
	[ARCLinux]$ ./perf record ls
	bin             etc             perf            sys
	debug           init            perf.data       tmp
	[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
	[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.001 MB perf.data (~24 samples) ]

	[ARCLinux]$ ./perf report
	incompatible file format (rerun with -v to learn more)
   ------------->8----------------

The problem happens in the following call stack when zalloc is called
with size zero

glibc default / uClibc with MALLOC_GLIBC_COMPAT are OK, but not if that
config option is not enabled.

  cmd_report
     perf_session__new
	perf_session__open
	    perf_session__read_header
		read_attr(fd, header, &f_attr)
		nr_ids = f_attr.ids.size / sizeof(u64); <-- 0
		perf_evsel__alloc_id(vsel, 1, nr_ids)
			zalloc(ncpus * nthreads * sizeof(u64)) <-- 0

header.c: read_attr()

(gdb) p *f_attr
$17 = {
  attr = {
    type = 0,
    size = 96,
    config = 0,
    {
      sample_period = 4000,
      sample_freq = 4000
    },
...
  ids = {
    offset = 104,
    size = 0      <------
  }
}
