      perf trace: Skip unknown syscalls when expanding strace like syscall groups · 04c41bcb
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored 
      We have $INSTALL_DIR/share/perf-core/strace/groups/string files with
syscalls that should be selected when 'string' is used, meaning, in this
case, syscalls that receive as one of its arguments a string, like a
pathname.

But those were first selected and tested on x86_64, and end up failing
in architectures where some of those syscalls are not available, like
the 'access' syscall on arm64, which makes using 'perf trace -e string'
in such archs to fail.

Since this the routine doing the validation is used only when reading
such files, do not fail when some syscall is not found in the
syscalltbl, instead just use pr_debug() to register that in case people
are suspicious of problems.

Now using 'perf trace -e string' should work on arm64, selecting only
the syscalls that have a string and are available on that architecture.

      perf report: Support s390 diag event display on x86 · 180ca71c
      Thomas Richter authored 
      Perf report fails to display s390 specific event numbered bd000
on an x86 platform. For example on s390 this works without error:

[root@m35lp76 perf]# uname -m
s390x
[root@m35lp76 perf]# ./perf record -e rbd000 -- find / >/dev/null
[ perf record: Woken up 3 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.549 MB perf.data ]
[root@m35lp76 perf]# ./perf report -D --stdio  > /dev/null
[root@m35lp76 perf]#

Transfering this perf.data file to an x86 platform and executing
the same report command produces:

[root@f29 perf]# uname -m
x86_64
[root@f29 perf]# ./perf report -i ~/perf.data.m35lp76 --stdio
interpreting bpf_prog_info from systems with endianity is not yet supported
interpreting btf from systems with endianity is not yet supported
0x8c890 [0x8]: failed to process type: 68
Error:
failed to process sample

Event bd000 generates auxiliary data which is stored in big endian
format in the perf data file.
This error is caused by missing endianess handling on the x86 platform
when the data is displayed. Fix this by handling s390 auxiliary event
data depending on the local platform endianness.

Output after on x86:

[root@f29 perf]# ./perf report -D -i ~/perf.data.m35lp76 --stdio > /dev/null
interpreting bpf_prog_info from systems with endianity is not yet supported
interpreting btf from systems with endianity is not yet supported
[root@f29 perf]#

Committer notes:

Fix build breakage on older systems, such as CentOS:6 where using
nesting calls to the endian.h macros end up redefining local variables:

  util/s390-cpumsf.c: In function 's390_cpumsf_trailer_show':
  util/s390-cpumsf.c:333: error: declaration of '__v' shadows a previous local
  util/s390-cpumsf.c:333: error: shadowed declaration is here
  util/s390-cpumsf.c:333: error: declaration of '__x' shadows a previous local
  util/s390-cpumsf.c:333: error: shadowed declaration is here
  util/s390-cpumsf.c:334: error: declaration of '__v' shadows a previous local
  util/s390-cpumsf.c:334: error: shadowed declaration is here
  util/s390-cpumsf.c:334: error: declaration of '__x' shadows a previous local
  util/s390-cpumsf.c:334: error: shadowed declaration is here

  [perfbuilder@455a63ef60dc perf]$ gcc -v |& tail -1
  gcc version 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-23) (GCC)
  [perfbuilder@455a63ef60dc perf]$

Since there are several uses of

  be64toh(te->flags)

Introduce a variable to hold that and then use it, avoiding this case
that causes the above problems:

  -       local.bsdes = be16toh((be64toh(te->flags) >> 16 & 0xffff));
  +       local.bsdes = be16toh((flags >> 16 & 0xffff));

Its the same construct used in s390_cpumsf_diag_show() where we have a
'word' variable that is used just once, s390_cpumsf_basic_show() has
lots of uses and also uses a variable to hold the result of be16toh().

Some of those temp variables needed to be converted from 'unsigned long'
to 'unsigned long long' so as to build on 32-bit arches such as
debian:experimental-x-mipsel, the android NDK ones and
fedora:24-x-ARC-uClibc.

      perf report: Fix OOM error in TUI mode on s390 · 8a07aa4e
      Thomas Richter authored 
      Debugging a OOM error using the TUI interface revealed this issue
on s390:

[tmricht@m83lp54 perf]$ cat /proc/kallsyms |sort
....
00000001119b7158 B radix_tree_node_cachep
00000001119b8000 B __bss_stop
00000001119b8000 B _end
000003ff80002850 t autofs_mount	[autofs4]
000003ff80002868 t autofs_show_options	[autofs4]
000003ff80002a98 t autofs_evict_inode	[autofs4]
....

There is a huge gap between the last kernel symbol
__bss_stop/_end and the first kernel module symbol
autofs_mount (from autofs4 module).

After reading the kernel symbol table via functions:

 dso__load()
 +--> dso__load_kernel_sym()
      +--> dso__load_kallsyms()
	   +--> __dso_load_kallsyms()
	        +--> symbols__fixup_end()

the symbol __bss_stop has a start address of 1119b8000 and
an end address of 3ff80002850, as can be seen by this debug statement:

  symbols__fixup_end __bss_stop start:0x1119b8000 end:0x3ff80002850

The size of symbol __bss_stop is 0x3fe6e64a850 bytes!
It is the last kernel symbol and fills up the space until
the first kernel module symbol.

This size kills the TUI interface when executing the following
code:

  process_sample_event()
    hist_entry_iter__add()
      hist_iter__report_callback()
        hist_entry__inc_addr_samples()
          symbol__inc_addr_samples(symbol = __bss_stop)
            symbol__cycles_hist()
               annotated_source__alloc_histograms(...,
				                symbol__size(sym),
		                                ...)

This function allocates memory to save sample histograms.
The symbol_size() marco is defined as sym->end - sym->start, which
results in above value of 0x3fe6e64a850 bytes and
the call to calloc() in annotated_source__alloc_histograms() fails.

The histgram memory allocation might fail, make this failure
no-fatal and continue processing.

Output before:
[tmricht@m83lp54 perf]$ ./perf --debug stderr=1 report -vvvvv \
					      -i ~/slow.data 2>/tmp/2
[tmricht@m83lp54 perf]$ tail -5 /tmp/2

[tmricht@m83lp54 perf]$

There is no error about failed memory allocation and the TUI interface
shows all entries.

      perf test 6: Fix missing kvm module load for s390 · 53fe307d
      Thomas Richter authored 
      Command

   # perf test -Fv 6

fails with error

   running test 100 'kvm-s390:kvm_s390_create_vm' failed to parse
    event 'kvm-s390:kvm_s390_create_vm', err -1, str 'unknown tracepoint'
    event syntax error: 'kvm-s390:kvm_s390_create_vm'
                         \___ unknown tracepoint

when the kvm module is not loaded or not built in.

Fix this by adding a valid function which tests if the module
is loaded. Loaded modules (or builtin KVM support) have a
directory named
  /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kvm-s390
for this tracepoint.

Check for existence of this directory.

      perf time-utils: Add support for multiple explicit time intervals · a77a05e2
      Adrian Hunter authored 
      Currently only a single explicit time range is accepted. Add support for
multiple ranges separated by spaces, which requires the string to be
quoted. Update the time utils test accordingly.
