perf symbols: Accept symbols starting at address 0

2017-05-02T21:23:04Z

That is the case of _text on s390, and we have some functions that return an address, using address zero to report problems, oops. This would lead the symbol loading routines to not use "_text" as the reference relocation symbol, or the first symbol for the kernel, but use instead "_stext", that is at the same address on x86_64 and others, but not on s390: [acme@localhost perf-4.11.0-rc6]$ head -15 /proc/kallsyms 0000000000000000 T _text 0000000000000418 t iplstart 0000000000000800 T start 000000000000080a t .base 000000000000082e t .sk8x8 0000000000000834 t .gotr 0000000000000842 t .cmd 0000000000000846 t .parm 000000000000084a t .lowcase 0000000000010000 T startup 0000000000010010 T startup_kdump 0000000000010214 t startup_kdump_relocated 0000000000011000 T startup_continue 00000000000112a0 T _ehead 0000000000100000 T _stext [acme@localhost perf-4.11.0-rc6]$ Which in turn would make 'perf test vmlinux' to fail because it wouldn't find the symbols before "_stext" in kallsyms. Fix it by using the return value only for errors and storing the address, when the symbol is successfully found, in a provided pointer arg.

perf tools: Move event prototypes from util.h to event.h

2017-04-25T18:30:47Z

More needs to be done to have the actual functions and variables in a smaller .c file that can then be included in the python binding, avoiding dragging more stuff into it. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-uecxz7cqkssouj7tlxrkqpl4@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf tools: Add the right header to obtain PERF_ALIGN()

2017-04-24T16:43:34Z

The util/event.h header needs PERF_ALIGN(), but wasn't including linux/kernel.h, where it is defined, instead it was getting it by luck by including map.h, which it doesn't need at all.

perf tools: Handle partial AUX records and print a warning

2017-03-17T14:52:18Z

This patch decodes the 'partial' flag in AUX records and prints a warning to the user, so that they don't have to guess why their PT traces contain gaps (or missing altogether): Warning: AUX data had gaps in it 8 times out of 8! Are you running a KVM guest in the background? Trying to be even more helpful, we will detect if the user's kvm driver sets up exclusive VMX root mode for the entire lifespan of the kvm process: Reloading kvm_intel module with vmm_exclusive=0 will reduce the gaps to only guest's timeslices. Note however, that you'll still have gaps in cpu-wide traces even with vmm_exclusive=0, but the number of gaps will be below 100% (as opposed to the above example). Currently this is the only reason for partial records.

perf record: Synthesize namespace events for current processes

2017-03-14T18:16:09Z

Synthesize PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES events for processes that were running prior to invocation of perf record. The data for this is taken from /proc/$PID/ns. These changes make way for analyzing events with regard to namespaces. Committer notes: Check if 'tool' is NULL in perf_event__synthesize_namespaces(), as in the test__mmap_thread_lookup case, i.e. 'perf test Lookup mmap thread".

perf tools: Add PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES to include namespaces related info

2017-03-14T14:38:23Z

Introduce a new option to record PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES events emitted by the kernel when fork, clone, setns or unshare are invoked. And update perf-record documentation with the new option to record namespace events. Committer notes: Combined it with a later patch to allow printing it via 'perf report -D' and be able to test the feature introduced in this patch. Had to move here also perf_ns__name(), that was introduced in another later patch. Also used PRIu64 and PRIx64 to fix the build in some enfironments wrt: util/event.c:1129:39: error: format '%lx' expects argument of type 'long unsigned int', but argument 6 has type 'long long unsigned int' [-Werror=format=] ret += fprintf(fp, "%u/%s: %lu/0x%lx%s", idx ^ Testing it: # perf record --namespaces -a ^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.083 MB perf.data (423 samples) ] # # perf report -D 3 2028902078892 0x115140 [0xa0]: PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES 14783/14783 - nr_namespaces: 7 [0/net: 3/0xf0000081, 1/uts: 3/0xeffffffe, 2/ipc: 3/0xefffffff, 3/pid: 3/0xeffffffc, 4/user: 3/0xeffffffd, 5/mnt: 3/0xf0000000, 6/cgroup: 3/0xeffffffb] 0x1151e0 [0x30]: event: 9 . . ... raw event: size 48 bytes . 0000: 09 00 00 00 02 00 30 00 c4 71 82 68 0c 7f 00 00 ......0..q.h.... . 0010: a9 39 00 00 a9 39 00 00 94 28 fe 63 d8 01 00 00 .9...9...(.c.... . 0020: 03 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ce c4 02 00 00 00 00 00 ................

perf intel-pt/bts: Report instruction bytes and length in sample

2016-10-24T13:31:32Z

Change Intel PT and BTS to pass up the length and the instruction bytes of the decoded or sampled instruction in the perf sample. The decoder already knows this information, we just need to pass it up. Since it is only a couple of movs it is not very expensive. Handle instruction cache too. Make sure ilen is always initialized. Used in the next patch.

Revert "perf tools: event.h needs asm/perf_regs.h"

2016-07-25T14:58:56Z

This reverts commit e083a21fcac9311ca425e600a15332f4792c56cc. Not needed at all, tools/perf/util/perf_regs.h, included via: #include "perf_regs.h" Should have a definition for PERF_REGS_MAX, and since this is dependent on HAVE_PERF_REGS_SUPPORT, fixes the build on powerpc, noticed by trying to cross compile this from ubuntu16.04 with a locally build libz & elfutils pair, since those are not available in multilib packages.
