perf probe: Use return of map__get() to make code more compact

2018-06-04T13:28:50Z

The __get() idiom returns a reference count for the object passed, i.e. all functions of this type return the object passed, so take advantage of that to make the code more compact.

perf machine: Ditch find_kernel_function variants

2018-04-30T15:20:54Z

Since we do not have split symtabs anymore, no need to have explicit find_kernel_function variants, use the find_kernel_symbol ones.

perf symbols: Unify symbol maps

2018-04-27T13:47:06Z

Remove the split of symbol tables for data (MAP__VARIABLE) and for functions (MAP__FUNCTION), its unneeded and there were various places doing two lookups to find a symbol, so simplify this. We still will consider only the symbols that matched the filters in place, i.e. see the (elf_(sec,sym)|symbol_type)__filter() routines in the patch, just so that we consider only the same symbols as before, to reduce the possibility of regressions. All the tests on 50-something build environments, in varios versions of lots of distros and cross build environments were performed without build regressions, as usual with all pull requests the other tests were also performed: 'perf test' and 'make -C tools/perf build-test'. Also this was done at a great granularity so that regressions can be bisected more easily.

perf machine: Introduce machine__kernel_maps()

2018-04-26T16:47:10Z

That returns the a data structure contained the ordered list of kernel modules + the main kernel maps, one more step in removing the MAP__{FUNCTION,VARIABLE} split.

perf map: Shorten map_groups__find_by_name() signature

2018-04-26T16:47:09Z

Another step in the road to elliminate the MAP_{FUNCTION,VARIABLE} separation, reducing the exposure to these details in the tools using the symbol APIs.

perf probe: Support escaped character in parser

2017-12-27T15:15:55Z

Support the special characters escaped by '\' in parser. This allows user to specify versions directly like below. ===== # ./perf probe -x /lib64/libc-2.25.so malloc_get_state\\@GLIBC_2.2.5 Added new event: probe_libc:malloc_get_state (on malloc_get_state@GLIBC_2.2.5 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 ===== Or, you can use separators in source filename, e.g. ===== # ./perf probe -x /opt/test/a.out foo+bar.c:3 Semantic error :There is non-digit character in offset. Error: Command Parse Error. ===== Usually "+" in source file cause parser error, but ===== # ./perf probe -x /opt/test/a.out foo\\+bar.c:4 Added new event: probe_a:main (on @foo+bar.c:4 in /opt/test/a.out) You can now use it in all perf tools, such as: perf record -e probe_a:main -aR sleep 1 ===== escaped "\+" allows you to specify that.

perf probe: Find versioned symbols from map

2017-12-27T15:15:54Z

Commit d80406453ad4 ("perf symbols: Allow user probes on versioned symbols") allows user to find default versioned symbols (with "@@") in map. However, it did not enable normal versioned symbol (with "@") for perf-probe. 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 probe: Add __return suffix for return events

2017-12-27T15:15:54Z

Add __return suffix for function return events automatically. Without this, user have to give --force option and will see the number suffix for each event like "function_1", which is not easy to recognize. Instead, this adds __return suffix to it automatically. E.g. ===== # ./perf probe -x /lib64/libc-2.25.so 'malloc*%return' Added new events: probe_libc:malloc_printerr__return (on malloc*%return in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so) probe_libc:malloc_consolidate__return (on malloc*%return in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so) probe_libc:malloc_check__return (on malloc*%return in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so) probe_libc:malloc_hook_ini__return (on malloc*%return in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so) probe_libc:malloc__return (on malloc*%return in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so) probe_libc:malloc_trim__return (on malloc*%return in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so) probe_libc:malloc_usable_size__return (on malloc*%return in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so) probe_libc:malloc_stats__return (on malloc*%return in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so) probe_libc:malloc_info__return (on malloc*%return in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so) probe_libc:mallochook__return (on malloc*%return in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so) probe_libc:malloc_get_state__return (on malloc*%return in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so) probe_libc:malloc_set_state__return (on malloc*%return in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so) You can now use it in all perf tools, such as: perf record -e probe_libc:malloc_set_state__return -aR sleep 1 ===== Reported-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu Acked-by: Ravi Bangoria Reviewed-by: Thomas Richter Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: Paul Clarke Cc: bhargavb Cc: linux-rt-users@vger.kernel.org Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/151275046418.24652.6696011972866498489.stgit@devbox Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf probe: Cut off the version suffix from event name

2017-12-27T15:15:53Z

Cut off the version suffix (e.g. @GLIBC_2.2.5 etc.) from automatic generated event name. This fixes wildcard event adding like below case; ===== # perf probe -x /lib64/libc-2.25.so malloc* Internal error: "malloc_get_state@GLIBC_2" is wrong event name.
