perf tools: Make sparc64 arch point to sparc

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

The recent build changes cause perf to not compile for sparc64 since the
arch/sparc64/Build file does not exist:

/home/dahern/kernels/linux.git/tools/build/Makefile.build:40: arch/sparc64/Build: No such file or directory

Fix by converting the sparc64 RAW_ARCH to sparc ARCH -- similar to what
is done for x86_64.

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

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 tools: Fix pthread_attr_setaffinity_np build error

2015-02-25T15:18:03+00:00

Feature detection for pthread_attr_setaffinity_np was failing, producing
this error:

  In file included from bench/futex-hash.c:17:0:
  bench/futex.h:73:19: error: conflicting types for ‘pthread_attr_setaffinity_np’
   static inline int pthread_attr_setaffinity_np(pthread_attr_t *attr,
                   ^
  In file included from bench/futex.h:72:0,
                   from bench/futex-hash.c:17:

            ^
  make[3]: *** [bench/futex-hash.o] Error 1
  make[2]: *** [bench] Error 2
  make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

  This was because compiling test-pthread-attr-setaffinity-np.c
  failed due to the function arguments:

  test-pthread-attr-setaffinity-np.c: In function ‘main’:
  test-pthread-attr-setaffinity-np.c:11:2: warning: null argument where non-null required (argument 3) [-Wnonnull]
    ret = pthread_attr_setaffinity_np(&thread_attr, 0, NULL);
    ^
  So fix the arguments.

perf tools: Define _GNU_SOURCE on pthread_attr_setaffinity_np feature check

2015-02-25T15:17:38+00:00

The man page for pthread_attr_set_affinity_np states that _GNU_SOURCE
must be defined before pthread.h is included in order to get the proper
function declaration.  Define this in the Makefile.

Without this defined, the feature check fails on a Fedora system with
gcc5 and then the perf build later fails with conflicting prototypes for
the function.

perf bench: Fix order of arguments to memcpy_alloc_mem

2015-02-23T02:10:56+00:00

This was causing the destination instead of the source to be filled.  As
a result, the source was typically all mapped to one zero page, and
hence very cacheable.

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 tools: Use perf_data_file__fd() consistently

Do not reference file->fd directly since we want hide the

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.
