2016-11-29perf tools: Introduce perf hooksWang Nan
Perf hooks allow hooking user code at perf events. They can be used for manipulation of BPF maps, taking snapshot and reporting results. In this patch two perf hook points are introduced: record_start and record_end. To avoid buggy user actions, a SIGSEGV signal handler is introduced into 'perf record'. It turns off perf hook if it causes a segfault and report an error to help debugging. A test case for perf hook is introduced. Test result: $ ./buildperf/perf test -v hook 50: Test perf hooks : --- start --- test child forked, pid 10311 SIGSEGV is observed as expected, try to recover. Fatal error (SEGFAULT) in perf hook 'test' test child finished with 0 ---- end ---- Test perf hooks: Ok Signed-off-by: Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com> Cc: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@fb.com> Cc: He Kuang <hekuang@huawei.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Joe Stringer <joe@ovn.org> Cc: Zefan Li <lizefan@huawei.com> Cc: pi3orama@163.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20161126070354.141764-5-wangnan0@huawei.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

2016-11-25perf record: Fix segfault when running with suid and kptr_restrict is 1Wang Nan
Before this patch perf panics if kptr_restrict is set to 1 and perf is owned by root with suid set: $ whoami wangnan $ ls -l ./perf -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 19781908 Sep 21 19:29 /home/wangnan/perf $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict 1 $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid -1 $ ./perf record -a Segmentation fault (core dumped) $ The reason is that perf assumes it is allowed to read kptr from /proc/kallsyms when euid is root, but in fact the kernel doesn't allow reading kptr when euid and uid do not match with each other: $ cp /bin/cat . $ sudo chown root:root ./cat $ sudo chmod u+s ./cat $ cat /proc/kallsyms | grep do_fork 0000000000000000 T _do_fork <--- kptr is hidden even euid is root $ sudo cat /proc/kallsyms | grep do_fork ffffffff81080230 T _do_fork See lib/vsprintf.c for kernel side code. This patch fixes this problem by checking both uid and euid.

2016-11-25perf tools: Fix kernel version error in ubuntuWang Nan
On ubuntu the internal kernel version code is different from what can be retrived from uname: $ uname -r 4.4.0-47-generic $ cat /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h #define LINUX_VERSION_CODE 263192 #define KERNEL_VERSION(a,b,c) (((a) << 16) + ((b) << 8) + (c)) $ cat /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/include/generated/utsrelease.h #define UTS_RELEASE "4.4.0-47-generic" #define UTS_UBUNTU_RELEASE_ABI 47 $ cat /proc/version_signature Ubuntu 4.4.0-47.68-generic 4.4.24 The macro LINUX_VERSION_CODE is set to 4.4.24 (263192 == 0x40418), but `uname -r` reports 4.4.0. This mismatch causes LINUX_VERSION_CODE macro passed to BPF script become an incorrect value, results in magic failure in BPF loading: $ sudo ./buildperf/perf record -e ./tools/perf/tests/bpf-script-example.c ls event syntax error: './tools/perf/tests/bpf-script-example.c' \___ Failed to load program for unknown reason According to Ubuntu document (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/FAQ), the correct kernel version can be retrived through /proc/version_signature, which is ubuntu specific. This patch checks the existance of /proc/version_signature, and returns version number through parsing this file instead of uname. Version string is untouched (value returns from uname) because `uname -r` is required to be consistence with path of kbuild directory in /lib/module.

Some arches may want to dynamically populate the table using regular expressions on the instruction names to associate them with a set of parsing/formatting/etc functions (struct ins_ops), so provide a fallback for when the ins__find() method fails. That fall back will be able to resize the arch->instructions, setting arch->nr_instructions appropriately, helper functions to associate an ins_ops to an instruction name, growing the arch->instructions if needed and resorting it are provided, all the arch specific callback needs to do is to decide if the missing instruction should be added to arch->instructions with a ins_ops association.

2016-11-25perf annotate: Remove duplicate 'name' field from disasm_lineArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
The disasm_line::name field is always equal to ins::name, being used just to locate the instruction's ins_ops from the per-arch instructions table. Eliminate this duplication, nuking that field and instead make ins__find() return an ins_ops, store it in disasm_line::ins.ops, and keep just in disasm_line::ins.name what was in disasm_line::name, this way we end up not keeping a reference to entries in the per-arch instructions table. This in turn will help supporting multiple ways to manage the per-arch instructions table, allowing resorting that array, for instance, when the entries will move after references to its addresses were made. The same problem is avoided when one grows the array with realloc. So architectures simply keeping a constant array will work as well as architectures building the table using regular expressions or other logic that involves resorting the table.

2016-11-14perf report: Add branch flag to callchain cursor nodeJin Yao
Since the branch ip has been added to call stack for easier browsing, this patch adds more branch information. For example, add a flag to indicate if this ip is a branch, and also add with the branch flag. Then we can know if the cursor node represents a branch and know what the branch flag it has. The branch history code has a loop detection pass that removes loops. It would be nice for knowing how many loops were removed then in next steps, we can compute out the average number of iterations. For example: Before remove_loops(), entry0: from = 0x100, to = 0x200 entry1: from = 0x300, to = 0x250 entry2: from = 0x300, to = 0x250 entry3: from = 0x300, to = 0x250 entry4: from = 0x700, to = 0x800 After remove_loops() entry0: from = 0x100, to = 0x200 entry1: from = 0x300, to = 0x250 entry2: from = 0x700, to = 0x800 The original entry2 and entry3 are removed. So the number of iterations (from = 0x300, to = 0x250) is equal to removed number + 1 (2 + 1). iterations = removed number + 1; average iteractions = Sum(iteractions) / number of samples This formula ignores other cases, for example, iterations cross multiple buffers and one buffer contains 2+ loops. Because in practice, it's good enough.

2016-10-28perf tools: Introduce timestamp__scnprintf_usec()Namhyung Kim
Joonwoo reported that there's a mismatch between timestamps in script and sched commands. This was because of difference in printing the timestamp. Factor out the code and share it so that they can be in sync. Also I found that sched map has similar problem, fix it too. Committer notes: Fixed the max_lat_at bug introduced by Namhyung's original patch, as pointed out by Joonwoo, and made it a function following the scnprintf() model, i.e. returning the number of bytes formatted, and receiving as the first parameter the object from where the data to the formatting is obtained, renaming it from: char *timestamp_in_usec(char *bf, size_t size, u64 timestamp) to int timestamp__scnprintf_usec(u64 timestamp, char *bf, size_t size) Reported-by: Joonwoo Park <joonwoop@codeaurora.org> Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20161024020246.14928-3-namhyung@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

2016-10-24perf jit: Generate .eh_frame/.eh_frame_hdr in DSOStefano Sanfilippo
When the jit_buf_desc contains unwinding information, it is emitted as eh_frame unwinding sections in the DSOs generated by perf inject. The unwinding information is required to unwind of JITed code which do not maintain the frame pointer register during function calls. It can be emitted by V8 / Chromium when the --perf_prof_unwinding_info is passed to V8. The eh_frame and eh_frame_hdr sections are emitted immediately after the .text. The .eh_frame is aligned at a 8-byte boundary, and .eh_frame_hdr at a 4-byte one. Since size of the .eh_frame is required to be a multiple of the word size, which means there will never be additional padding between it and the .eh_frame_hdr on machines where the word size is 4 or 8 bytes. However, additional padding might be inserted between .text and .eh_frame to reach the correct alignment, which will always be 8 bytes, also on 32bit machines. The reasoning behind this choice is that 4 extra bytes of padding worst case are not a large cost for the advantage of removing word-size dependent offset calculations when emitting the jitdump.

2016-10-24perf jit: Add unwinding supportStefano Sanfilippo
This record is intended to provide unwinding information in the eh_frame format. This is required to unwind JITed code which does not maintain the frame pointer register during function calls. The eh_frame unwinding information can be emitted by V8 / Chromium when the --perf_prof_unwinding_info is passed. A record of type jr_code_unwinding_info comes before the jr_code_load it referred to and contains both the .eh_frame and .eh_frame_hdr. The fields in the header have the following meaning: * unwinding_size: size of the eh_frame and eh_frame_hdr, necessary for distinguishing the content from the padding. * eh_frame_hdr_size: as the name says. * mapped_size: size of the payload that was in memory at runtime. typically unwinding_size if the .eh_frame_hdr and .eh_frame were mapped, or 0 if they weren't. It should always be the former case, since the .eh_frame is guaranteed to be mapped in memory. However, certain JITs might want to inject an .eh_frame_hdr with an empty LUT to trigger fp-based unwinding fallback in libunwind. The only part of the .eh_frame_hdr that libunwind reads from remote memory is the LUT, and since there is none, mapping the unwinding info in memory is not necessary, and 0 in this field signifies that it wasn't. This practical hack allows to save bytes in code memory for those JIT compilers that might or might not maintain a valid frame pointer. The payload that follows is assumed to contain first the .eh_frame and then the .eh_header_hdr, with no padding between the two.

2016-10-24perf jit: Make perf skip unknown recordsStefano Sanfilippo
The behavior before this commit was to skip the remaining portion of the jitdump in case an unknown record was found, including those records that perf could handle. With this change, parsing a record with an unknown id will cause a warning to be emitted, the record will be skipped and parsing will resume from the next (valid) one.
