Commit 73cdf0c6 ("perf symbols: Record text offset in dso to calculate objdump address") started storing the offset of the text section for all DSOs: if (elf_section_by_name(elf, &ehdr, &tshdr, ".text", NULL)) dso->text_offset = tshdr.sh_addr - tshdr.sh_offset; Unfortunately this breaks debuginfo files, because we need to calculate the offset of the text section in the associated executable file. As a result perf annotate returns junk for all debuginfo files. Fix this by using runtime_ss->elf which should point at the executable when parsing a debuginfo file. Signed-off-by:

arch__post_process_probe_trace_events() calls get_target_map() to prepare symbol table. get_target_map() is defined inside util/probe-event.c. probe-event.c will only get included in perf binary if CONFIG_LIBELF is set. Hence arch__post_process_probe_trace_events() needs to be defined inside #ifdef HAVE_LIBELF_SUPPORT to solve compilation error. Reported-and-Tested-by:

The June 2015 Intel SDM introduced IP Compression types 4 and 6. Refer to section 36.4.2.2 Target IP (TIP) Packet - IP Compression. Existing Intel PT packet decoder did not support type 4, and got type 6 wrong. Because type 3 and type 4 have the same number of bytes, the packet 'count' has been changed from being the number of ip bytes to being the type code. That allows the Intel PT decoder to correctly decide whether to sign-extend or use the last ip. However that also meant the code had to be adjusted in a number of places. Currently hardware is not using the new compression types, so this fix has no effect on existing hardware. Signed-off-by:

There are bug reports about miscounting uncore counters on some client machines like Sandybridge, Broadwell and Skylake. It is very likely to be observed on idle systems. This issue is caused by a hardware issue. PERF_GLOBAL_CTL could be cleared after Package C7, and nothing will be count. The related errata (HSD 158) could be found in: www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/specification-updates/4th-gen-core-family-desktop-specification-update.pdf This patch tries to work around this issue by re-enabling PERF_GLOBAL_CTL in ->enable_box(). The workaround does not cover all cases. It helps for new events after returning from C7. But it cannot prevent C7, it will still miscount if a counter is already active. There is no drawback in leaving it enabled, so it does not need disable_box() here. Signed-off-by:

Some uncore boxes' num_counters value for Haswell server and Broadwell server are not correct (too large, off by one). This issue was found by comparing the code with the document. Although there is no bug report from users yet, accessing non-existent counters is dangerous and the behavior is undefined: it may cause miscounting or even crashes. This patch makes them consistent with the uncore document. Reported-by:

Since instruction decoder now supports EVEX-encoded instructions, two fixes are needed to correctly handle them in uprobes. Extended bits for MODRM.rm field need to be sanitized just like we do it for VEX3, to avoid encoding wrong register for register-relative access. EVEX has _two_ extended bits: b and x. Theoretically, EVEX.x should be ignored by the CPU (since GPRs go only up to 15, not 31), but let's be paranoid here: proper encoding for register-relative access should have EVEX.x = 1. Secondly, we should fetch vex.vvvv for EVEX too. This is now super easy because instruction decoder populates vex_prefix.bytes[2] for all flavors of (e)vex encodings, even for VEX2. Signed-off-by:

There's a perf stat bug easy to observer on a machine with only one cgroup: $ perf stat -e cycles -I 1000 -C 0 -G / # time counts unit events 1.000161699 <not counted> cycles / 2.000355591 <not counted> cycles / 3.000565154 <not counted> cycles / 4.000951350 <not counted> cycles / We'd expect some output there. The underlying problem is that there is an optimization in perf_cgroup_sched_{in,out}() that skips the switch of cgroup events if the old and new cgroups in a task switch are the same. This optimization interacts with the current code in two ways that cause a CPU context's cgroup (cpuctx->cgrp) to be NULL even if a cgroup event matches the current task. These are: 1. On creation of the first cgroup event in a CPU: In current code, cpuctx->cpu is only set in perf_cgroup_sched_in, but due to the aforesaid optimization, perf_cgroup_sched_in will run until the next cgroup switches in that CPU. This may happen late or never happen, depending on system's number of cgroups, CPU load, etc. 2. On deletion of the last cgroup event in a cpuctx: In list_del_event, cpuctx->cgrp is set NULL. Any new cgroup event will not be sched in because cpuctx->cgrp == NULL until a cgroup switch occurs and perf_cgroup_sched_in is executed (updating cpuctx->cgrp). This patch fixes both problems by setting cpuctx->cgrp in list_add_event, mirroring what list_del_event does when removing a cgroup event from CPU context, as introduced in: commit 68cacd29 ("perf_events: Fix stale ->cgrp pointer in update_cgrp_time_from_cpuctx()") With this patch, cpuctx->cgrp is always set/clear when installing/removing the first/last cgroup event in/from the CPU context. With cpuctx->cgrp correctly set, event_filter_match works as intended when events are sched in/out. After the fix, the output is as expected: $ perf stat -e cycles -I 1000 -a -G / # time counts unit events 1.004699159 627342882 cycles / 2.007397156 615272690 cycles / 3.010019057 616726074 cycles / Signed-off-by:David Carrillo-Cisneros <davidcc@google.com> Signed-off-by:

Merge tag 'perf-urgent-for-mingo-20160809' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/urgent Pull perf/urgent fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo: User visible fixes: - Fix the lookup for a kernel module in 'perf probe', fixing for instance, the erroneous return of "[raid10]" when looking for "[raid1]" (Konstantin Khlebnikov) - Disable counters in a group before reading them in 'perf stat', to avoid skew (Mark Rutland) - Fix adding probes to function aliases in systems using kaslr (Masami Hiramatsu) - Trip libtraceevent trace_seq buffers, removing unnecessary memory usage that could bring a system using tracepoint events with 'perf top' to a crawl, as the trace_seq buffers start at a whooping 4 KB, which is very rarely used in perf's usecases, so realloc it to the really used space as a last measure after using libtraceevent functions to format the fields of tracepoint events (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - Fix 'perf probe' location when using DWARF on ppc64le (Ravi Bangoria) - Allow specifying signedness casts to a 'perf probe' variable, to shorten the number of steps to see signed values that otherwise would always appear as hex values (Naohiro Aota) Documentation fixes: - Add 'bpf-output' field to 'perf script' usage message (Brendan Gregg) Infrastructure fixes: - Sync kernel header files: cpufeatures.h, {disabled,required}-features.h, bpf.h and vmx.h, so that we get a clean build, without warnings about files being different from the kernel counterparts. A verification of the need or desirability of changes in tools/ based on what was done in the kernel changesets was made and documented in the respective file sync changesets (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) Signed-off-by:

Powerpc has Global Entry Point and Local Entry Point for functions. LEP catches call from both the GEP and the LEP. Symbol table of ELF contains GEP and Offset from which we can calculate LEP, but debuginfo does not have LEP info. Currently, perf prioritize symbol table over dwarf to probe on LEP for ppc64le. But when user tries to probe with function parameter, we fall back to using dwarf(i.e. GEP) and when function called via LEP, probe will never hit. For example: $ objdump -d vmlinux ... do_sys_open(): c0000000002eb4a0: e8 00 4c 3c addis r2,r12,232 c0000000002eb4a4: 60 00 42 38 addi r2,r2,96 c0000000002eb4a8: a6 02 08 7c mflr r0 c0000000002eb4ac: d0 ff 41 fb std r26,-48(r1) $ sudo ./perf probe do_sys_open $ sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events p:probe/do_sys_open _text+3060904 $ sudo ./perf probe 'do_sys_open filename:string' $ sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events p:probe/do_sys_open _text+3060896 filename_string=+0(%gpr4):string For second case, perf probed on GEP. So when function will be called via LEP, probe won't hit. $ sudo ./perf record -a -e probe:do_sys_open ls [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.195 MB perf.data ] To resolve this issue, let's not prioritize symbol table, let perf decide what it wants to use. Perf is already converting GEP to LEP when it uses symbol table. When perf uses debuginfo, let it find LEP offset form symbol table. This way we fall back to probe on LEP for all cases. After patch: $ sudo ./perf probe 'do_sys_open filename:string' $ sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events p:probe/do_sys_open _text+3060904 filename_string=+0(%gpr4):string $ sudo ./perf record -a -e probe:do_sys_open ls [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.197 MB perf.data (11 samples) ] Signed-off-by:Ravi Bangoria <ravi.bangoria@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Acked-by:

The way we're using kernel headers in tools/ now, with a copy that is made to the same path prefixed by "tools/" plus checking if that copy got stale, i.e. if the kernel counterpart changed, helps in keeping track with new features that may be useful for tools to exploit. For instance, looking at all the changes to bpf.h since it was last copied to tools/include brings this to toolers' attention: Need to investigate this one to check how to run a program via perf, setting up a BPF event, that will take advantage of the way perf already calls clang/LLVM, sets up the event and runs the workload in a single command line, helping in debugging such semi cooperative programs: 96ae5227 ("bpf: Add bpf_probe_write_user BPF helper to be called in tracers") This one needs further investigation about using the feature it improves in 'perf trace' to do some tcpdumpin' mixed with syscalls, tracepoints, probe points, callgraphs, etc: 555c8a86 ("bpf: avoid stack copy and use skb ctx for event output") Add tracing just packets that are related to some container to that mix: 4a482f34 ("cgroup: bpf: Add bpf_skb_in_cgroup_proto") 4ed8ec52 ("cgroup: bpf: Add BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGROUP_ARRAY") Definetely needs to have example programs accessing task_struct from a bpf proggie started from 'perf trace': 606274c5 ("bpf: introduce bpf_get_current_task() helper") Core networking related, XDP: 6ce96ca3 ("bpf: add XDP_TX xdp_action for direct forwarding") 6a773a15 ("bpf: add XDP prog type for early driver filter") 13c5c240 ("bpf: add bpf_get_hash_recalc helper") d2485c42 ("bpf: add bpf_skb_change_type helper") 6578171a ("bpf: add bpf_skb_change_proto helper") Changes detected by the tools build system: $ make -C tools/perf O=/tmp/build/perf install-bin make: Entering directory '/home/acme/git/linux/tools/perf' BUILD: Doing 'make -j4' parallel build Warning: tools/include/uapi/linux/bpf.h differs from kernel INSTALL GTK UI CC /tmp/build/perf/bench/mem-memcpy-x86-64-asm.o <SNIP> $ Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@fb.com> Cc: Brenden Blanco <bblanco@plumgrid.com> Cc: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: David S.

The 'perf probe' tool detects a variable's type and use the detected type to add a new probe. Then, kprobes prints its variable in hexadecimal format if the variable is unsigned and prints in decimal if it is signed. We sometimes want to see unsigned variable in decimal format (i.e. sector_t or size_t). In that case, we need to investigate the variable's size manually to specify just signedness. This patch add signedness casting support. By specifying "s" or "u" as a type, perf-probe will investigate variable size as usual and use the specified signedness. E.g. without this: $ perf probe -a 'submit_bio bio->bi_iter.bi_sector' Added new event: probe:submit_bio (on submit_bio with bi_sector=bio->bi_iter.bi_sector) You can now use it in all perf tools, such as: perf record -e probe:submit_bio -aR sleep 1 $ cat trace_pipe|head dbench-9692 [003] d..1 971.096633: submit_bio: (submit_bio+0x0/0x140) bi_sector=0x3a3d00 dbench-9692 [003] d..1 971.096685: submit_bio: (submit_bio+0x0/0x140) bi_sector=0x1a3d80 dbench-9692 [003] d..1 971.096687: submit_bio: (submit_bio+0x0/0x140) bi_sector=0x3a3d80 ... // need to investigate the variable size $ perf probe -a 'submit_bio bio->bi_iter.bi_sector:s64' Added new event: probe:submit_bio (on submit_bio with bi_sector=bio->bi_iter.bi_sector:s64) You can now use it in all perf tools, such as: perf record -e probe:submit_bio -aR sleep 1 With this: // just use "s" to cast its signedness $ perf probe -v -a 'submit_bio bio->bi_iter.bi_sector:s' Added new event: probe:submit_bio (on submit_bio with bi_sector=bio->bi_iter.bi_sector:s) You can now use it in all perf tools, such as: perf record -e probe:submit_bio -aR sleep 1 $ cat trace_pipe|head dbench-9689 [001] d..1 1212.391237: submit_bio: (submit_bio+0x0/0x140) bi_sector=128 dbench-9689 [001] d..1 1212.391252: submit_bio: (submit_bio+0x0/0x140) bi_sector=131072 dbench-9697 [006] d..1 1212.398611: submit_bio: (submit_bio+0x0/0x140) bi_sector=30208 This commit also update perf-probe.txt to describe "types".

When we don't have a tracee (i.e. we're attaching to a task or CPU), counters can still be running after our workload finishes, and can still be running as we read their values. As we read events one-by-one, there can be arbitrary skew between values of events, even within a group. This means that ratios within an event group are not reliable. This skew can be seen if measuring a group of identical events, e.g: # perf stat -a -C0 -e '{cycles,cycles}' sleep 1 To avoid this, we must stop groups from counting before we read the values of any constituent events. This patch adds and makes use of a new disable_counters() helper, which disables group leaders (and thus each group as a whole). This mirrors the use of enable_counters() for starting event groups in the absence of a tracee. Closing a group leader splits the group, and without a disabled group leader the newly split events will begin counting. Thus to ensure counts are reliable we must defer closing group leaders until all counts have been read. To do so this patch removes the event closing logic from the read_counters() helper, explicitly closes the events using perf_evlist__close(), which also aids legibility.

When I initially added the unsafe_[get|put]_user() helpers in commit 5b24a7a2 ("Add 'unsafe' user access functions for batched accesses"), I made the mistake of modeling the interface on our traditional __[get|put]_user() functions, which return zero on success, or -EFAULT on failure. That interface is fairly easy to use, but it's actually fairly nasty for good code generation, since it essentially forces the caller to check the error value for each access. In particular, since the error handling is already internally implemented with an exception handler, and we already use "asm goto" for various other things, we could fairly easily make the error cases just jump directly to an error label instead, and avoid the need for explicit checking after each operation. So switch the interface to pass in an error label, rather than checking the error value in the caller. Best do it now before we start growing more users (the signal handling code in particular would be a good place to use the new interface). So rather than if (unsafe_get_user(x, ptr)) ... handle error .. the interface is now unsafe_get_user(x, ptr, label); where an error during the user mode fetch will now just cause a jump to 'label' in the caller. Right now the actual _implementation_ of this all still ends up being a "if (err) goto label", and does not take advantage of any exception label tricks, but for "unsafe_put_user()" in particular it should be fairly straightforward to convert to using the exception table model. Note that "unsafe_get_user()" is much harder to convert to a clever exception table model, because current versions of gcc do not allow the use of "asm goto" (for the exception) with output values (for the actual value to be fetched). But that is hopefully not a limitation in the long term. [ Also note that it might be a good idea to switch unsafe_get_user() to actually _return_ the value it fetches from user space, but this commit only changes the error handling semantics ] Signed-off-by:

Since commit 63a4cc24, bio->bi_rw contains flags in the lower portion and the op code in the higher portions. This means that old code that relies on manually setting bi_rw is most likely going to be broken. Instead of letting that brokeness linger, rename the member, to force old and out-of-tree code to break at compile time instead of at runtime. No intended functional changes in this commit.

Jens Axboe authored
Commit abf54548 changed it from an 'rw' flags type to the newer ops based interface, but now we're effectively leaking some bdev internals to the rest of the kernel. Since we only care about whether it's a read or a write at that level, just pass in a bool 'is_write' parameter instead. Then we can also move op_is_write() and friends back under CONFIG_BLOCK protection. Reviewed-by:
