perf: Disable PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 support

2013-10-17T19:27:14+00:00

For now, we disable the extended MMAP record support (MMAP2).

We have identified cases where it would not report the correct mapping
information, clone(VM_CLONE) but with separate pids.  We will revisit
the support once we find a solution for this case.

The patch changes the kernel to return EINVAL if attr->mmap2 is set. The
patch also modifies the perf tool to use regular PERF_RECORD_MMAP for
synthetic events and it also prevents the tool from requesting
attr->mmap2 mode because the kernel would reject it.

The support will be revisited once the kenrel interface is updated.

In V2, we reduce the patch to the strict minimum.

In V3, we avoid calling perf_event_open() with mmap2 set because we know
it will fail and require fallback retry.

perf probe: Fix to initialize fname always before use it

2013-10-15T17:37:38+00:00

Fix perf probe --list to initialize fname local var always before
use it. This may cause a SEGV if there is a probe which is in
the function body but not in any inline function.

perf session: Fix infinite loop on invalid perf.data file

2013-10-04T18:17:46+00:00

perf-record updates the header in the perf.data file at termination.
Without this update perf-report (and other processing built-ins) it
caused an infinite loop when perf report (or something like) called.

This is because the algorithm in __perf_session__process_events()
depends on the data_size which is read from file header.  Use file size
directly instead in this case to do the best-effort processing.

perf tools: Fix installation of libexec components

2013-10-04T18:16:05+00:00

Doing a fresh install on a user home directory needs to first make sure
that the ~/libexec/perf-core/ directory is present so that
'perf-archive' like scripts, 'perf test' attr config files and 'perf
script' scripts can be installed.

perf probe: Fix to find line information for probe list

2013-10-04T18:16:05+00:00

Fix to find the correct (as much as possible) line information for
listing probes. Without this fix, perf probe --list action will show
incorrect line information as below;

  probe:getname_flags  (on getname_flags@ksrc/linux-3/fs/namei.c)
  probe:getname_flags_1 (on getname:-89@x86/include/asm/current.h)
  probe:getname_flags_2 (on user_path_at_empty:-2054@x86/include/asm/current.h)

The minus line number is obviously wrong, and current.h is not related
to the probe point. Deeper investigation discovered that there were 2
issues related to this bug, and minor typos too.

The 1st issue is the rack of considering about nested inlined functions,
which causes the wrong (relative) line number.

The 2nd issue is that the dwarf line info is not correct at those
points. It points 14th line of current.h.

Since it seems that the line info includes somewhat unreliable
information, this fixes perf to try to find correct line information
from both of debuginfo and line info as below.

1) Probe address is the entry of a function instance

  In this case, the line is set as the function declared line.

2) Probe address is the entry of an expanded inline function block

  In this case, the line is set as the function call-site line.
  This means that the line number is relative from the entry line
  of caller function (which can be an inlined function if nested)

3) Probe address is inside a function instance or an expanded
   inline function block

  In this case, perf probe queries the line number from lineinfo
  and verify the function declared file is same as the file name
  queried from lineinfo.

  If the file name is different, it is a failure case. The probe
  address is shown as symbol+offset.

4) Probe address is not in the any function instance

  This is a failure case, the probe address is shown as
  symbol+offset.

With this fix, perf probe -l shows correct probe lines as below;

  probe:getname_flags  (on getname_flags@ksrc/linux-3/fs/namei.c)
  probe:getname_flags_1 (on getname:2@ksrc/linux-3/fs/namei.c)
  probe:getname_flags_2 (on user_path_at_empty:4@ksrc/linux-3/fs/namei.c)

Changes at v2:
 - Fix typos in the function comments. (Thanks to Namhyung Kim)
 - Use die_find_top_inlinefunc instead of die_find_inlinefunc_next.

perf tools: Fix libaudit test

2013-10-04T18:16:05+00:00

In ubuntu systems the libaudit test was always failing due to the
newline in the printf call not being escaped, which somehow didn't
prevented the test from working as expected on other systems, such
as fedora18.

Fix it by removing the newline, as this is just a test, that program is
just a compile test.

The error messages, obtained using 'make V=1':

    CHK libaudit
: In function ‘main’:
:5:9: error: missing terminating " character [-Werror]
:5:2: error: missing terminating " character
:6:1: error: missing terminating " character [-Werror]
:6:1: error: missing terminating " character
:7:2: error: expected expression before ‘return’
:8:1: error: expected ‘;’ before ‘}’ token
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
config/Makefile:241: No libaudit.h found, disables 'trace' tool, please install audit-libs-devel or libaudit-dev

After this change the test works as expected in all systems tested and the
'trace' tool is built when the needed devel packages are installed.
