perf kvm: Finding struct machine fails for PERF_RECORD_MMAP

2012-04-11T14:45:12+00:00

Running 'perf kvm --host --guest --guestmount /tmp/guestmount record -a -g -- sleep 2'

Was resulting in a segfault. For event type PERF_RECORD_MMAP,
event->ip.pid is being used in perf_session__find_machine_for_cpumode,
which is not correct.

The event->ip.pid field happens to be 0 in this case and results in
returning a NULL machine object. Finally, access to self->pid in
machine__mmap_name, results in a segfault later.

For PERF_RECORD_MMAP type, pass event->mmap.pid.

perf annotate: Validate addr in symbol__inc_addr_samples

2012-04-05T22:51:14+00:00

This routine was checking only if the provided address was after
sym->end, not if it was before sym->start.

Fix that by checking for both and return in both cases -ERANGE, so that
tools can communicate this to the user properly, or if they chose so, to
abort.

This problem was reported previously but the fixes involved either doing
what was being done for the > end case, i.e. silently drop the sample,
returning 0, or aborting at this function, which is in a lib (or better,
is slated to be at some point) and shouldn't abort.

The 'report' tool already checks this value and uses pr_debug to warn
the user.

This patch makes the 'top' tool check it too and warn once per map where
such range problem takes place.

perf hists browser: Fix NULL deref in hists browsing code

2012-04-05T21:58:45+00:00

If there's an event with no samples in data file, the perf report
command can segfault after entering the event details menu.

Following steps reproduce the issue:

 # ./perf record -e syscalls:sys_enter_kexec_load,syscalls:sys_enter_mmap ls
 # ./perf report
 # enter '0 syscalls:sys_enter_kexec_load' menu
 # pres ENTER twice

Above steps are valid assuming ls wont run kexec.. ;)

The check for sellection to be NULL is missing. The fix makes sure it's
being check. Above steps now endup with menu being displayed allowing
'Exit' as the only option.

perf hists: Catch and handle out-of-date hist entry maps.

2012-04-05T21:53:47+00:00

When a process exec()'s, all the maps are retired, but we keep the hist
entries around which hold references to those outdated maps.

If the same library gets mapped in for which we have hist entries, a new
map will be created.  But when we take a perf entry hit within that map,
we'll find the existing hist entry with the older map.

This causes symbol translations to be done incorrectly.  For example,
the perf entry processing will lookup the correct uptodate map entry and
use that to calculate the symbol and DSO relative address.  But later
when we update the histogram we'll translate the address using the
outdated map file instead leading to conditions such as out-of-range
offsets in symbol__inc_addr_samples().

Therefore, update the map of the hist_entry dynamically at lookup/
creation time.

perf annotate: Fix hist decay

2012-04-05T21:49:18+00:00

We were only decaying the entries for the offsets that were associated
with an objdump line.

That way, when we accrued the whole instruction addr range, more than
100% was appearing in some cases in the live annotation TUI.

Fix it by not traversing the source code line at all, just iterate thru
the complete addr range decaying each one.

Merge branch 'perf-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

2012-03-31T20:34:04+00:00

Pull perf updates and fixes from Ingo Molnar:
 "It's mostly fixes, but there's also two late items:

   - preliminary GTK GUI support for perf report
   - PMU raw event format descriptors in sysfs, to be parsed by tooling

  The raw event format in sysfs is a new ABI.  For example for the 'CPU'
  PMU we have:

    aldebaran:~> ll /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/*
    -r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Mar 31 10:29 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/any
    -r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Mar 31 10:29 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/cmask
    -r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Mar 31 10:29 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/edge
    -r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Mar 31 10:29 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/event
    -r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Mar 31 10:29 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/inv
    -r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Mar 31 10:29 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/offcore_rsp
    -r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Mar 31 10:29 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/pc
    -r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Mar 31 10:29 /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/umask

  those lists of fields contain a specific format:

    aldebaran:~> cat /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/offcore_rsp
    config1:0-63

  So, those who wish to specify raw events can now use the following
  event format:

    -e cpu/cmask=1,event=2,umask=3

  Most people will not want to specify any events (let alone raw
  events), they'll just use whatever default event the tools use.

  But for more obscure PMU events that have no cross-architecture
  generic events the above syntax is more usable and a bit more
  structured than specifying hex numbers."
