perf powerpc: Fix callchain ip filtering

2018-09-26T06:39:25Z

[ Upstream commit c715fcfda5a08edabaa15508742be926b7ee51db ] For powerpc64, redundant entries in the callchain are filtered out by determining the state of the return address and the stack frame using DWARF debug information. For making these filtering decisions we must analyze the debug information for the location corresponding to the program counter value, i.e. the first entry in the callchain, and not the LR value; otherwise, perf may filter out either the second or the third entry in the callchain incorrectly. This can be observed on a powerpc64le system running Fedora 27 as shown below. Case 1 - Attaching a probe at inet_pton+0x8 (binary offset 0x15af28). Return address is still in LR and a new stack frame is not yet allocated. The LR value, i.e. the second entry, should not be filtered out. # objdump -d /usr/lib64/libc-2.26.so | less ... 000000000010eb10 : ... 10fa48: 78 bb e4 7e mr r4,r23 10fa4c: 0a 00 60 38 li r3,10 10fa50: d9 b4 04 48 bl 15af28 10fa54: 00 00 00 60 nop 10fa58: ac f4 ff 4b b 10ef04 ... 0000000000110450 : ... 1105a8: 54 00 ff 38 addi r7,r31,84 1105ac: 58 00 df 38 addi r6,r31,88 1105b0: 69 e5 ff 4b bl 10eb18 1105b4: 78 1b 71 7c mr r17,r3 1105b8: 50 01 7f e8 ld r3,336(r31) ... 000000000015af20 : 15af20: 0b 00 4c 3c addis r2,r12,11 15af24: e0 c1 42 38 addi r2,r2,-15904 15af28: a6 02 08 7c mflr r0 15af2c: f0 ff c1 fb std r30,-16(r1) 15af30: f8 ff e1 fb std r31,-8(r1) ... # perf probe -x /usr/lib64/libc-2.26.so -a inet_pton+0x8 # perf record -e probe_libc:inet_pton -g ping -6 -c 1 ::1 # perf script Before: ping 4507 [002] 514985.546540: probe_libc:inet_pton: (7fffa7dbaf28) 7fffa7dbaf28 __GI___inet_pton+0x8 (/usr/lib64/libc-2.26.so) 7fffa7d705b4 getaddrinfo+0x164 (/usr/lib64/libc-2.26.so) 13fb52d70 _init+0xbfc (/usr/bin/ping) 7fffa7c836a0 generic_start_main.isra.0+0x140 (/usr/lib64/libc-2.26.so) 7fffa7c83898 __libc_start_main+0xb8 (/usr/lib64/libc-2.26.so) 0 [unknown] ([unknown]) After: ping 4507 [002] 514985.546540: probe_libc:inet_pton: (7fffa7dbaf28) 7fffa7dbaf28 __GI___inet_pton+0x8 (/usr/lib64/libc-2.26.so) 7fffa7d6fa54 gaih_inet.constprop.7+0xf44 (/usr/lib64/libc-2.26.so) 7fffa7d705b4 getaddrinfo+0x164 (/usr/lib64/libc-2.26.so) 13fb52d70 _init+0xbfc (/usr/bin/ping) 7fffa7c836a0 generic_start_main.isra.0+0x140 (/usr/lib64/libc-2.26.so) 7fffa7c83898 __libc_start_main+0xb8 (/usr/lib64/libc-2.26.so) 0 [unknown] ([unknown]) Case 2 - Attaching a probe at _int_malloc+0x180 (binary offset 0x9cf10).

perf powerpc: Fix callchain ip filtering when return address is in a register

2018-09-26T06:39:25Z

[ Upstream commit 9068533e4f470daf2b0f29c71d865990acd8826e ] For powerpc64, perf will filter out the second entry in the callchain, i.e. the LR value, if the return address of the function corresponding to the probed location has already been saved on its caller's stack. The state of the return address is determined using debug information. At any point within a function, if the return address is already saved somewhere, a DWARF expression can tell us about its location. If the return address in still in LR only, no DWARF expression would exist. Typically, the instructions in a function's prologue first copy the LR value to R0 and then pushes R0 on to the stack. If LR has already been copied to R0 but R0 is yet to be pushed to the stack, we can still get a DWARF expression that says that the return address is in R0. This is indicating that getting a DWARF expression for the return address does not guarantee the fact that it has already been saved on the stack. This can be observed on a powerpc64le system running Fedora 27 as shown below. # objdump -d /usr/lib64/libc-2.26.so | less ... 000000000015af20 : 15af20: 0b 00 4c 3c addis r2,r12,11 15af24: e0 c1 42 38 addi r2,r2,-15904 15af28: a6 02 08 7c mflr r0 15af2c: f0 ff c1 fb std r30,-16(r1) 15af30: f8 ff e1 fb std r31,-8(r1) 15af34: 78 1b 7f 7c mr r31,r3 15af38: 78 23 83 7c mr r3,r4 15af3c: 78 2b be 7c mr r30,r5 15af40: 10 00 01 f8 std r0,16(r1) 15af44: c1 ff 21 f8 stdu r1,-64(r1) 15af48: 28 00 81 f8 std r4,40(r1) ... # readelf --debug-dump=frames-interp /usr/lib64/libc-2.26.so | less ... 00027024 0000000000000024 00027028 FDE cie=00000000 pc=000000000015af20..000000000015af88 LOC CFA r30 r31 ra 000000000015af20 r1+0 u u u 000000000015af34 r1+0 c-16 c-8 r0 000000000015af48 r1+64 c-16 c-8 c+16 000000000015af5c r1+0 c-16 c-8 c+16 000000000015af78 r1+0 u u ... # perf probe -x /usr/lib64/libc-2.26.so -a inet_pton+0x18 # perf record -e probe_libc:inet_pton -g ping -6 -c 1 ::1 # perf script Before: ping 2829 [005] 512917.460174: probe_libc:inet_pton: (7fff7e2baf38) 7fff7e2baf38 __GI___inet_pton+0x18 (/usr/lib64/libc-2.26.so) 7fff7e2705b4 getaddrinfo+0x164 (/usr/lib64/libc-2.26.so) 12f152d70 _init+0xbfc (/usr/bin/ping) 7fff7e1836a0 generic_start_main.isra.0+0x140 (/usr/lib64/libc-2.26.so) 7fff7e183898 __libc_start_main+0xb8 (/usr/lib64/libc-2.26.so) 0 [unknown] ([unknown]) After: ping 2829 [005] 512917.460174: probe_libc:inet_pton: (7fff7e2baf38) 7fff7e2baf38 __GI___inet_pton+0x18 (/usr/lib64/libc-2.26.so) 7fff7e26fa54 gaih_inet.constprop.7+0xf44 (/usr/lib64/libc-2.26.so) 7fff7e2705b4 getaddrinfo+0x164 (/usr/lib64/libc-2.26.so) 12f152d70 _init+0xbfc (/usr/bin/ping) 7fff7e1836a0 generic_start_main.isra.0+0x140 (/usr/lib64/libc-2.26.so) 7fff7e183898 __libc_start_main+0xb8 (/usr/lib64/libc-2.26.so) 0 [unknown] ([unknown]) Reported-by: Ravi Bangoria Signed-off-by: Sandipan Das Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Maynard Johnson Cc: Naveen N.

perf probe powerpc: Fix trace event post-processing

2018-09-15T07:46:51Z

[ Upstream commit 354b064b8ebc1e1ede58550ca9e08bfa81e6af43 ] In some cases, a symbol may have multiple aliases. Attempting to add an entry probe for such symbols results in a probe being added at an incorrect location while it fails altogether for return probes. This is only applicable for binaries with debug information. During the arch-dependent post-processing, the offset from the start of the symbol at which the probe is to be attached is determined and added to the start address of the symbol to get the probe's location. In case there are multiple aliases, this offset gets added multiple times for each alias of the symbol and we end up with an incorrect probe location. This can be verified on a powerpc64le system as shown below. $ nm /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build/vmlinux | grep "sys_open$" ... c000000000414290 T __se_sys_open c000000000414290 T sys_open $ objdump -d /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build/vmlinux | grep -A 10 "<__se_sys_open>:" c000000000414290 <__se_sys_open>: c000000000414290: 19 01 4c 3c addis r2,r12,281 c000000000414294: 70 c4 42 38 addi r2,r2,-15248 c000000000414298: a6 02 08 7c mflr r0 c00000000041429c: e8 ff a1 fb std r29,-24(r1) c0000000004142a0: f0 ff c1 fb std r30,-16(r1) c0000000004142a4: f8 ff e1 fb std r31,-8(r1) c0000000004142a8: 10 00 01 f8 std r0,16(r1) c0000000004142ac: c1 ff 21 f8 stdu r1,-64(r1) c0000000004142b0: 78 23 9f 7c mr r31,r4 c0000000004142b4: 78 1b 7e 7c mr r30,r3 For both the entry probe and the return probe, the probe location should be _text+4276888 (0xc000000000414298).

perf thread: Introduce thread__find_symbol()

2018-04-26T16:47:07Z

Out of thread__find_addr_location(..., MAP__FUNCTION, ...), idea here is to continue removing references to MAP__{FUNCTION,VARIABLE} ahead of getting both types of symbols in the same rbtree, as various places do two lookups, looking first at MAP__FUNCTION, then at MAP__VARIABLE. So thread__find_symbol() will eventually do just that, and 'struct symbol' will have the symbol type, for code that cares about that.

E.g. ===== # ./perf probe -x /lib64/libc-2.25.so malloc_get_state Failed to find symbol malloc_get_state in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so Error: Failed to add events. ===== This solves above issue by improving perf-probe symbol search function, as below. ===== # ./perf probe -x /lib64/libc-2.25.so malloc_get_state Added new event: probe_libc:malloc_get_state (on malloc_get_state in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so) You can now use it in all perf tools, such as: perf record -e probe_libc:malloc_get_state -aR sleep 1 # ./perf probe -l probe_libc:malloc_get_state (on malloc_get_state@GLIBC_2.2.5 in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so) ===== Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu Reviewed-by: Thomas Richter Acked-by: Ravi Bangoria Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: Paul Clarke Cc: bhargavb Cc: linux-rt-users@vger.kernel.org Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/151275049269.24652.1639103455496216255.stgit@devbox Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf pmu: Pass pmu as a parameter to get_cpuid_str()

2017-12-05T13:24:33Z

The cpuid string will not be same on all CPUs on heterogeneous platforms like ARM's big.LITTLE, adding provision(using pmu->cpus) to find cpuid string from associated CPUs of PMU CORE device. Also optimise arguments to function pmu_add_cpu_aliases.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

2017-11-02T10:10:55Z

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches. Reviewed-by: Kate Stewart Reviewed-by: Philippe Ombredanne Reviewed-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

perf probe: Allow placing uprobes in alternate namespaces.

2017-07-19T02:14:10Z

Teaches perf how to place a uprobe on a file that's in a different mount namespace. The user must add the probe using the --target-ns argument to perf probe. Once it has been placed, it may be recorded against without further namespace-specific commands.
