<id>830fadfd954c6782b7a8a2461c76a568c7153b9a</id>
<content type='text'>
When validating kcore modules the do_validate_kcore_modules function
checks on every kernel module dso against modules record. The
__map__is_kmodule check is used to get only kernel module dso objects
through.

Currently the bpf images are slipping through the check and making the
validation to fail, so report falls back from kcore usage to kallsyms.

Adding __map__is_bpf_image check for bpf image and adding it to
__map__is_kmodule check.

Fixes: 3c29d4483e85 ("perf annotate: Add basic support for bpf_image")

Event modifiers are not mentioned in the perf record or perf stat
manpages.  Add them to orient new users more effectively by pointing
them to the perf list manpage for details.

<title>perf bench: The do_run_multi_threaded() function must use IS_ERR(perf_session__new())</title>

<id>e4d71f79cf5c10fa8bc6f5d3bebea570c9c438f1</id>
<content type='text'>
In case of error, the function perf_session__new() returns ERR_PTR() and
never returns NULL. The NULL test in the return value check should be
replaced with IS_ERR()

Committer notes:

This wasn't compiling due to an extraneous '{' not matched by a '}', fix
it.

<title>perf stat: Turn off summary for interval mode by default</title>
<updated>2020-09-03T18:48:41+00:00</updated>

<id>ee6a961432e75393bd69bf70ba70bad90396fa82</id>
<content type='text'>
There's a risk that outputting interval mode summaries by default breaks
CSV consumers. It already broke pmu-tools/toplev.

So now we turn off the summary by default but we create a new option
'--summary' to enable the summary. This is active even when not using
CSV mode.

There's a risk that outputting interval mode summaries by default breaks
CSV consumers. It already broke pmu-tools/toplev.

So now we turn off the summary by default but we create a new option
'--summary' to enable the summary. This is active even when not using
CSV mode.

The new string should have enough space for the original string and the
back slashes IMHO.

Disable ordered_events for report raw dump, because for raw dump we want
to see events as they are stored in the perf.data file, not sorted by
time.

Commit 42bbabed09ce6208 ("perf tools: Add hw_idx in struct branch_stack")
changed the format of branch stacks in perf samples. When samples use
this new format, a flag must be set in the corresponding event.

Synthesized branch stacks generated from Intel PT were using the new
format, but not setting the event attribute, leading to consumers
seeing corrupt data. This patch fixes the issue by setting the event
attribute to indicate use of the new format.

<title>perf top/report: Fix infinite loop in the TUI for grouped events</title>

For a while we need to have a dummy event for doing things like
receiving PERF_RECORD_COMM, PERF_RECORD_EXEC, etc for threads being
created and dying while we synthesize the pre-existing ones at tool
start.

This 'dummy' event is needed for keeping track of thread lifetime events
early in the session but are uninteresting otherwise, i.e. no need to
have it in a initial events menu for the non-grouped case, i.e. for:

 # perf top -e cycles,instructions

or even for plain:

 # perf top

When 'cycles' and that 'dummy' event are in place.

The code to remove that 'dummy' event ended up creating an endless loop
for the grouped case, i.e.:

 # perf top -e '{cycles,instructions}'

Fix it.
