      perf tools: No need to cache the PMUs in ARM SPE auxtrace init routine · 3e43d79d
      Wei Li authored 
      - auxtrace_record__init() is called only once, so there is no point in
  using a static variable to cache the results of
  find_all_arm_spe_pmus(), make it local and free the results after use.

- Another reason is, even though SPE is micro-architecture dependent,
  but so far it only supports "statistical-profiling-extension-v1" and
  we have no chance to use multiple SPE's PMU events in Perf command.

So remove the useless check code to make it clear.

      perf tools: Fix record failure when mixed with ARM SPE event · 31e81e0b
      Wei Li authored 
      When recording with cache-misses and arm_spe_x event, I found that it
will just fail without showing any error info if i put cache-misses
after 'arm_spe_x' event.

  [root@localhost 0620]# perf record -e cache-misses \
				-e arm_spe_0/ts_enable=1,pct_enable=1,pa_enable=1,load_filter=1,jitter=1,store_filter=1,min_latency=0/ sleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.067 MB perf.data ]
  [root@localhost 0620]#
  [root@localhost 0620]# perf record -e arm_spe_0/ts_enable=1,pct_enable=1,pa_enable=1,load_filter=1,jitter=1,store_filter=1,min_latency=0/ \
				     -e  cache-misses sleep 1
  [root@localhost 0620]#

The current code can only work if the only event to be traced is an
'arm_spe_x', or if it is the last event to be specified. Otherwise the
last event type will be checked against all the arm_spe_pmus[i]->types,
none will match and an out of bound 'i' index will be used in
arm_spe_recording_init().

We don't support concurrent multiple arm_spe_x events currently, that
is checked in arm_spe_recording_options(), and it will show the relevant
info. So add the check and record of the first found 'arm_spe_pmu' to
fix this issue here.

      perf bench: Add basic syscall benchmark · c2a08203
      Davidlohr Bueso authored 
      The usefulness of having a standard way of testing syscall performance
has come up from time to time[0]. Furthermore, some of our testing
machinery (such as 'mmtests') already makes use of a simplified version
of the microbenchmark. This patch mainly takes the same idea to measure
syscall throughput compatible with 'perf-bench' via getppid(2), yet
without any of the additional template stuff from Ingo's version (based
on numa.c). The code is identical to what mmtests uses.

[0] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20160201074156.GA27156@gmail.com/

Committer notes:

Add mising stdlib.h and unistd.h to get the prototypes for exit() and
getppid().

      perf probe: Warn if the target function is a GNU indirect function · 3de2bf9d
      Masami Hiramatsu authored 
      Warn if the probe target function is a GNU indirect function (GNU_IFUNC)
because it may not be what the user wants to probe.

The GNU indirect function ( https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/GNU_IFUNC )
is the dynamic symbol solved at runtime. An IFUNC function is a selector
which is invoked from the ELF loader, but the symbol address of the
function which will be modified by the IFUNC is the same as the IFUNC in
the symbol table. This can confuse users trying to probe such functions.

For example, memcpy is an IFUNC.

  probe_libc:memcpy    (on __new_memcpy_ifunc@x86_64/multiarch/memcpy.c in /usr/lib64/libc-2.30.so)

the probe is put on an IFUNC.

  perf  1742 [000] 26201.715632: probe_libc:memcpy: (7fdaa53824c0)
              7fdaa53824c0 __new_memcpy_ifunc+0x0 (inlined)
              7fdaa5d4a980 elf_machine_rela+0x6c0 (inlined)
              7fdaa5d4a980 elf_dynamic_do_Rela+0x6c0 (inlined)
              7fdaa5d4a980 _dl_relocate_object+0x6c0 (/usr/lib64/ld-2.30.so)
              7fdaa5d42155 dl_main+0x1cc5 (/usr/lib64/ld-2.30.so)
              7fdaa5d5831a _dl_sysdep_start+0x54a (/usr/lib64/ld-2.30.so)
              7fdaa5d3ffeb _dl_start_final+0x25b (inlined)
              7fdaa5d3ffeb _dl_start+0x25b (/usr/lib64/ld-2.30.so)
              7fdaa5d3f117 .annobin_rtld.c+0x7 (inlined)

And the event is invoked from the ELF loader instead of the target
program's main code.

Moreover, at this moment, we can not probe on the function which will
be selected by the IFUNC, because it is determined at runtime. But
uprobe will be prepared before running the target binary.

Thus, I decided to warn user when 'perf probe' detects that the probe
point is on an GNU IFUNC symbol. Someone who wants to probe an IFUNC
symbol to debug the IFUNC function can ignore this warning.

Committer notes:

I.e., this warning will be emitted if the probe point is an IFUNC:

  "Warning: The probe function (%s) is a GNU indirect function.\n"
  "Consider identifying the final function used at run time and set the probe directly on that.\n"

Complete set of steps:

  # readelf -sW /lib64/libc-2.29.so  | grep IFUNC | tail
   22196: 0000000000109a80   183 IFUNC   GLOBAL DEFAULT   14 __memcpy_chk

   22336: 000000000008b690    60 IFUNC   GLOBAL DEFAULT   14 memchr
   22350: 000000000008b9b0    89 IFUNC   GLOBAL DEFAULT   14 __stpcpy

   22675: 000000000008ba70    76 IFUNC   WEAK   DEFAULT   14 strcasecmp
  #
  # perf probe -x /lib64/libc-2.29.so strlen
  Warning: The probe function (strlen) is a GNU indirect function.
  Consider identifying the final function used at run time and set the probe directly on that.
  Added new event:
    probe_libc:strlen    (on strlen in /usr/lib64/libc-2.29.so)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

  	perf record -e probe_libc:strlen -aR sleep 1

      perf probe: Fix memory leakage when the probe point is not found · 12d572e7
      Masami Hiramatsu authored 
      Fix the memory leakage in debuginfo__find_trace_events() when the probe
point is not found in the debuginfo. If there is no probe point found in
the debuginfo, debuginfo__find_probes() will NOT return -ENOENT, but 0.

Thus the caller of debuginfo__find_probes() must check the tf.ntevs and
release the allocated memory for the array of struct probe_trace_event.

The current code releases the memory only if the debuginfo__find_probes()
hits an error but not checks tf.ntevs. In the result, the memory allocated
on *tevs are not released if tf.ntevs == 0.

This fixes the memory leakage by checking tf.ntevs == 0 in addition to
ret < 0.
