2015-06-17perf tools: Move libtraceevent dynamic list to separated LDFLAGS variableWang Nan
Commit e3d09ec8126fe2c9a3ade661e2126e215ca27a80 ("tools lib traceevent: Export dynamic symbols used by traceevent plugins") adds libtraceevent dynamic list directly into LDFLAGS, which makes all targets depend on that list through LDFLAGS. This is not good since some of targets like libgtk.so doesn't use plugin at all, but require the existance of that list because of linker options. This patch isolates the -Xlink option into LIBTRACEEVENT_DYNAMIC_LIST_LDFLAGS, makes only perf and perf.so use it.

2015-06-17perf tools: Fix a problem when opening old perf.data with different byte orderWang Nan
Following error occurs when trying to use 'perf report' on x86_64 to cross analysis a perf.data generated by an old perf on a big-endian machine: # perf report *** Error in `/home/w00229757/perf': free(): invalid next size (fast): 0x00000000032c99f0 *** ======= Backtrace: ========= /lib64/libc.so.6(+0x6eeef)[0x7ff6ff7e2eef] /lib64/libc.so.6(+0x78cae)[0x7ff6ff7eccae] /lib64/libc.so.6(+0x79987)[0x7ff6ff7ed987] /path/to/perf[0x4ac734] /path/to/perf[0x4ac829] /path/to/perf(perf_header__process_sections+0x129)[0x4ad2c9] /path/to/perf(perf_session__read_header+0x2e1)[0x4ad9e1] /path/to/perf(perf_session__new+0x168)[0x4bd458] /path/to/perf(cmd_report+0xfa0)[0x43eb70] /path/to/perf[0x47adc3] /path/to/perf(main+0x5f6)[0x42fd06] /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf5)[0x7ff6ff795bd5] /path/to/perf[0x42fe35] ======= Memory map: ======== [SNIP] The bug is in perf_event__attr_swap(). It swaps all fields in 'struct perf_event_attr' without checking whether the swapped field exist or not. In addition, in read_event_desc() allocs memory for attr according to size read from perf.data. Therefore, if the perf.data is collected by an old perf (without aux_watermark, for example), when perf_event__attr_swap() swaping attr->aux_watermark it destroy malloc's metadata. This patch introduces boundary checking in perf_event__attr_swap(). It adds macros bswap_field_64 and bswap_field_32 into perf_event__attr_swap() to make it only swap exist fields.

2015-06-16perf probe: Fix to return error if no probe is addedMasami Hiramatsu
Fix perf probe to return an error if no probe is added due to the given probe point being on the blacklist. To fix this problem, this moves the blacklist checking to right after finding symbols/probe-points and marks them as skipped. If all the symbols are skipped, "perf probe" returns an error as it fails to find the corresponding probe address. E.g. currently if a blacklisted probe is given: # perf probe do_trap && echo 'succeed' Added new event: Warning: Skipped probing on blacklisted function: sync_regs succeed No! It must fail! With this patch, it correctly fails: # perf probe do_trap && echo 'succeed' do_trap is blacklisted function, skip it. Probe point 'do_trap' not found. Error: Failed to add events.

2015-06-10perf tools: Avoid possible race condition in copyfile()Milos Vyletel
Use unique temporary files when copying to buildid dir to prevent races in case multiple instances are trying to copy same file. This is done by - creating template in form <path>/.<filename>.XXXXXX where the suffix is used by mkstemp() to create unique file - change file mode - copy content - if successful link temp file to target file - unlink temp file At this point the only file left at target path should be the desired one either created by us or other instance if we raced. This should also prevent not yet fully copied files to be visible to to other perf instances that could try to parse them. On top of that slow_copyfile no longer needs to deal with file mode when creating file since temporary file is already created and mode is set. Succesfully tested by myself by running perf record, archive and reading the data on other system and by running perf buildid-cache on perf binary itself. I also did revert fix from 0635b0f that to exposes previously fixed race with EEXIST and recreator test passed sucessfully.

This has a different model than the 'thread' and 'map' struct lifetimes: there is not a definitive "don't use this DSO anymore" event, i.e. we may get many 'struct map' holding references to the '/usr/lib64/libc-2.20.so' DSO but then at some point some DSO may have no references but we still don't want to straight away release its resources, because "soon" we may get a new 'struct map' that needs it and we want to reuse its symtab or other resources. So we need some way to garbage collect it when crossing some memory usage threshold, which is left for anoter patch, for now it is sufficient to release it when calling dsos__exit(), i.e. when deleting the whole list as part of deleting the 'struct machine' containing it, which will leave only referenced objects being used.

2015-06-08perf machine: Fix up some more method namesArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Calling the function 'machine__new_module' implies a new 'module' will be allocated, when in fact what is returned is a 'struct map' instance, that not necessarily will be instantiated, as if one already exists with the given module name, it will be returned instead. So be consistent with other "find and if not there, create" like functions, like machine__findnew_thread, machine__findnew_dso, etc, and rename it to machine__findnew_module_map(), that in turn will call machine__findnew_module_dso().

Traceevent plugins need dynamic symbols exported from libtraceevent.a, otherwise a dlopen error will occur during plugins loading. This patch uses dynamic-list-file to export dynamic symbols which will be used in plugins to perf executable. The problem is covered up if feature-libpython is enabled, because PYTHON_EMBED_LDOPTS contains '-Xlinker --export-dynamic' which adds all symbols to the dynamic symbol table.

2015-06-07perf/x86/intel: Implement batched PEBS interrupt handling (large PEBS ↵Yan, Zheng
interrupt threshold) PEBS always had the capability to log samples to its buffers without an interrupt. Traditionally perf has not used this but always set the PEBS threshold to one. For frequently occurring events (like cycles or branches or load/store) this in term requires using a relatively high sampling period to avoid overloading the system, by only processing PMIs. This in term increases sampling error. For the common cases we still need to use the PMI because the PEBS hardware has various limitations. The biggest one is that it can not supply a callgraph. It also requires setting a fixed period, as the hardware does not support adaptive period. Another issue is that it cannot supply a time stamp and some other options. To supply a TID it requires flushing on context switch. It can however supply the IP, the load/store address, TSX information, registers, and some other things. So we can make PEBS work for some specific cases, basically as long as you can do without a callgraph and can set the period you can use this new PEBS mode. The main benefit is the ability to support much lower sampling period (down to -c 1000) without extensive overhead. One use cases is for example to increase the resolution of the c2c tool. Another is double checking when you suspect the standard sampling has too much sampling error. Some numbers on the overhead, using cycle soak, comparing the elapsed time from "kernbench -M -H" between plain (threshold set to one) and multi (large threshold). The test command for plain: "perf record --time -e cycles:p -c $period -- kernbench -M -H" The test command for multi: "perf record --no-time -e cycles:p -c $period -- kernbench -M -H" ( The only difference of test command between multi and plain is time stamp options. Since time stamp is not supported by large PEBS threshold, it can be used as a flag to indicate if large threshold is enabled during the test. ) period plain(Sec) multi(Sec) Delta 10003 32.7 16.5 16.2 20003 30.2 16.2 14.0 40003 18.6 14.1 4.5 80003 16.8 14.6 2.2 100003 16.9 14.1 2.8 800003 15.4 15.7 -0.3 1000003 15.3 15.2 0.2 2000003 15.3 15.1 0.1 With periods below 100003, plain (threshold one) cause much more overhead.

2015-06-07perf/x86/intel: Handle multiple records in the PEBS bufferYan, Zheng
When the PEBS interrupt threshold is larger than one record and the machine supports multiple PEBS events, the records of these events are mixed up and we need to demultiplex them. Demuxing the records is hard because the hardware is deficient. The hardware has two issues that, when combined, create impossible scenarios to demux. The first issue is that the 'status' field of the PEBS record is a copy of the GLOBAL_STATUS MSR at PEBS assist time. To see why this is a problem let us first describe the regular PEBS cycle: A) the CTRn value reaches 0: - the corresponding bit in GLOBAL_STATUS gets set - we start arming the hardware assist < some unspecified amount of time later -- this could cover multiple events of interest > B) the hardware assist is armed, any next event will trigger it C) a matching event happens: - the hardware assist triggers and generates a PEBS record this includes a copy of GLOBAL_STATUS at this moment - if we auto-reload we (re)set CTRn - we clear the relevant bit in GLOBAL_STATUS Now consider the following chain of events: A0, B0, A1, C0 The event generated for counter 0 will include a status with counter 1 set, even though its not at all related to the record. A similar thing can happen with a !PEBS event if it just happens to overflow at the right moment. The second issue is that the hardware will only emit one record for two or more counters if the event that triggers the assist is 'close'. The 'close' can be several cycles. In some cases even the complete assist, if the event is something that doesn't need retirement. For instance, consider this chain of events: A0, B0, A1, B1, C01 Where C01 is an event that triggers both hardware assists, we will generate but a single record, but again with both counters listed in the status field. This time the record pertains to both events. Note that these two cases are different but undistinguishable with the data as generated. Therefore demuxing records with multiple PEBS bits (we can safely ignore status bits for !PEBS counters) is impossible. Furthermore we cannot emit the record to both events because that might cause a data leak -- the events might not have the same privileges -- so what this patch does is discard such events. The assumption/hope is that such discards will be rare. Here lists some possible ways you may get high discard rate. - when you count the same thing multiple times. But it is not a useful configuration. - you can be unfortunate if you measure with a userspace only PEBS event along with either a kernel or unrestricted PEBS event. Imagine the event triggering and setting the overflow flag right before entering the kernel. Then all kernel side events will end up with multiple bits set.

When a fixed period is specified, this patch makes perf use the PEBS auto reload mechanism. This makes normal profiling faster, because it avoids one costly MSR write in the PMI handler. However, the reset value will be loaded by hardware assist. There is a small delay compared to the previous non-auto-reload mechanism. The delay time is arbitrary, but very small. The assist cost is 400-800 cycles, assuming common cases with everything cached. The minimum period the patch currently uses is 10000. In that extreme case it can be ~10% if cycles are used.

2015-06-07perf record: Add support for sampling indirect jumpsStephane Eranian
This patch adds a new branch sampling type support for indirect jumps: perf record -j ind_jmp ....... It enables analysis of indirect jumps targets. It requires kernel and possibly hardware support to operate correctly.

2015-06-07perf: add new PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_IND_JUMP branch sample typeStephane Eranian
This patch adds a new branch_sample_type flag to enable filtering branch sampling to indirect jumps. The support is subject to hardware or kernel software support on each architecture. Filtering on indirect jump is useful to study the targets of the jump.
