perf intel-pt: Fix occasional decoding errors when tracing system-wide

2016-08-15T21:11:18+00:00

In order to successfully decode Intel PT traces, context switch events
are needed from the moment the trace starts. Currently that is ensured
by using the 'immediate' flag which enables the switch event when it is
opened.

However, since commit 86c2786994bd ("perf intel-pt: Add support for
PERF_RECORD_SWITCH") that might not always happen. When tracing
system-wide the context switch event is added to the tracking event
which was not set as 'immediate'. Change that so it is.

tools: Sync kvm related header files for arm64 and s390

2016-08-15T21:11:17+00:00

From a quick look nothing stands out as requiring changes to kvm tools
such as tools/perf/arch/s390/util/kvm-stat.c.

Silences these header checking warnings:

  $ make -C tools/perf
  make: Entering directory '/home/acme/git/linux/tools/perf'
    BUILD:   Doing 'make -j4' parallel build
  Warning: tools/arch/s390/include/uapi/asm/kvm.h differs from kernel

perf probe: Check for dup and fdopen failures

2016-08-15T20:06:19+00:00

dup and fdopen can potentially fail, so add some extra
error handling checks rather than assuming they always work.

perf symbols: Fix annotation of objects with debuginfo files

2016-08-15T19:49:57+00:00

Commit 73cdf0c6ea9c ("perf symbols: Record text offset in dso
to calculate objdump address") started storing the offset of
the text section for all DSOs:

       if (elf_section_by_name(elf, &ehdr, &tshdr, ".text", NULL))
               dso->text_offset = tshdr.sh_addr - tshdr.sh_offset;

Unfortunately this breaks debuginfo files, because we need to calculate
the offset of the text section in the associated executable file. As a
result perf annotate returns junk for all debuginfo files.

Fix this by using runtime_ss->elf which should point at the executable
when parsing a debuginfo file.

perf script: Don't disable use_callchain if input is pipe

2016-08-15T16:23:49+00:00

Because perf data from pipe do not have a header with evsel attr, we
should not check that and disable symbol_conf.use_callchain. Otherwise,
perf script won't show callchains even if the data stream contains
callchain.

  $ perf record -g -o - uname |perf script

perf script: Show proper message when failed list scripts

2016-08-15T16:17:10+00:00

Perf shows the usage message when perf scripts folder failed to open,
which misleads users to let them think the command is being mistyped.

This patch shows a proper message and guides users to check the
PERF_EXEC_PATH environment variable in that case.

Before:

  $ perf script --list

  Usage: perf script []
   or: perf script [] record
