perf symbols: Allow user probes on versioned symbols

2017-05-02T21:23:11Z

Symbol versioning, as in glibc, results in symbols being defined as: @[@] (Note that "@@" identifies a default symbol, if the symbol name is repeated.) perf is currently unable to deal with this, and is unable to create user probes at such symbols: -- $ nm /lib/powerpc64le-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 | grep pthread_create 0000000000008d30 t __pthread_create_2_1 0000000000008d30 T pthread_create@@GLIBC_2.17 $ /usr/bin/sudo perf probe -v -x /lib/powerpc64le-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 pthread_create probe-definition(0): pthread_create symbol:pthread_create file:(null) line:0 offset:0 return:0 lazy:(null) 0 arguments Open Debuginfo file: /usr/lib/debug/lib/powerpc64le-linux-gnu/libpthread-2.19.so Try to find probe point from debuginfo.

perf tools: Include errno.h where needed

2017-04-19T16:01:51Z

Removing it from util.h, part of an effort to disentangle the includes hell, that makes changes to util.h or something included by it to cause a complete rebuild of the tools.

Both do the same thing, the later is the one we get from linux/stringify.h, i.e. we now use the same function name/practice as the kernel sources.

perf powerpc: Choose local entry point with kretprobes

2017-03-14T18:17:39Z

perf now uses an offset from _text/_stext for kretprobes if the kernel supports it, rather than the actual function name. As such, let's choose the LEP for powerpc ABIv2 so as to ensure the probe gets hit. Do it only if the kernel supports specifying offsets with kretprobes. Signed-off-by: Naveen N.

2016-09-29T14:18:21Z

The user stack dump feature was recently added for powerpc. But there was no test case available to test it. This test works same as on other architectures by preparing a stack frame on the perf test thread and comparing each frame by unwinding it. $ ./perf test 50 50: Test dwarf unwind : Ok User stack dump for powerpc: https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/4/28/482 Signed-off-by: Ravi Bangoria Acked-by: Jiri Olsa Cc: Alexander Shishkin Cc: Anju T Sudhakar Cc: Josh Poimboeuf Cc: Masami Hiramatsu Cc: Matt Fleming Cc: Michael Ellerman Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Wang Nan Cc: linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1474267100-31079-1-git-send-email-ravi.bangoria@linux.vnet.ibm.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
