SIGILL after the failed arch_uprobe_post_xol() should only be used as a last resort, we should try to restart the probed insn if possible. Currently only adjust_ret_addr() can fail, and this can only happen if another thread unmapped our stack after we executed "call" out-of-line. Most probably the application if buggy, but even in this case it can have a handler for SIGSEGV/etc. And in theory it can be even correct and do something non-trivial with its memory. Of course we can't restart unconditionally, so arch_uprobe_post_xol() does this only if ->post_xol() returns -ERESTART even if currently this is the only possible error. default_post_xol_op(UPROBE_FIX_CALL) can always restart, but as Jim pointed out it should not forget to pop off the return address pushed by this insn executed out-of-line. Note: this is not "perfect", we do not want the extra handler_chain() after restart, but I think this is the best solution we can realistically do without too much uglifications. Signed-off-by:

Currently the error from arch_uprobe_post_xol() is silently ignored. This doesn't look good and this can lead to the hard-to-debug problems. 1. Change handle_singlestep() to loudly complain and send SIGILL. Note: this only affects x86, ppc/arm can't fail. 2. Change arch_uprobe_post_xol() to call arch_uprobe_abort_xol() and avoid TF games if it is going to return an error. This can help to to analyze the problem, if nothing else we should not report ->ip = xol_slot in the core-file. Note: this means that handle_riprel_post_xol() can be called twice, but this is fine because it is idempotent. Signed-off-by:

arch_uprobe_analyze_insn() calls handle_riprel_insn() at the start, but only "0xff" and "default" cases need the UPROBE_FIX_RIP_ logic. Move the callsite into "default" case and change the "0xff" case to fall-through. We are going to add the various hooks to handle the rip-relative jmp/call instructions (and more), we need this change to enforce the fact that the new code can not conflict with is_riprel_insn() logic which, after this change, can only be used by default_xol_ops. Note: arch_uprobe_abort_xol() still calls handle_riprel_post_xol() directly. This is fine unless another _xol_ops we may add later will need to reuse "UPROBE_FIX_RIP_AX|UPROBE_FIX_RIP_CX" bits in ->fixup. In this case we can add uprobe_xol_ops->abort() hook, which (perhaps) we will need anyway in the long term. Signed-off-by:

Introduce arch_uprobe->ops pointing to the "struct uprobe_xol_ops", move the current UPROBE_FIX_{RIP*,IP,CALL} code into the default set of methods and change arch_uprobe_pre/post_xol() accordingly. This way we can add the new uprobe_xol_ops's to handle the insns which need the special processing (rip-relative jmp/call at least). Signed-off-by: -

No functional changes. Preparation to simplify the review of the next change. Just reorder the code in arch_uprobe_pre/post_xol() functions so that UPROBE_FIX_{RIP_*,IP,CALL} logic goes to the end. Also change arch_uprobe_pre_xol() to use utask instead of autask, to make the code more symmetrical with arch_uprobe_post_xol(). Signed-off-by:Srikar Dronamraju <srikar@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Cosmetic. Move pre_xol_rip_insn() and handle_riprel_post_xol() up to the closely related handle_riprel_insn(). This way it is simpler to read and understand this code, and this lessens the number of ifdef's. While at it, update the comment in handle_riprel_post_xol() as Jim suggested. TODO: rename them somehow to make the naming consistent. Signed-off-by:

Kill the "mm->context.ia32_compat" check in handle_riprel_insn(), if it is true insn_rip_relative() must return false. validate_insn_bits() passed "ia32_compat" as !x86_64 to insn_init(), and insn_rip_relative() checks insn->x86_64. Also, remove the no longer needed "struct mm_struct *mm" argument and the unnecessary "return" at the end. Signed-off-by:

No functional changes, preparation. Shift the code from prepare_fixups() to arch_uprobe_analyze_insn() with the following modifications: - Do not call insn_get_opcode() again, it was already called by validate_insn_bits(). - Move "case 0xea" up. This way "case 0xff" can fall through to default case. - change "case 0xff" to use the nested "switch (MODRM_REG)", this way the code looks a bit simpler. - Make the comments look consistent. While at it, kill the initialization of rip_rela_target_address and ->fixups, we can rely on kzalloc(). We will add the new members into arch_uprobe, it would be better to assume that everything is zero by default. TODO: cleanup/fix the mess in validate_insn_bits() paths: - validate_insn_64bits() and validate_insn_32bits() should be unified. - "ifdef" is not used consistently; if good_insns_64 depends on CONFIG_X86_64, then probably good_insns_32 should depend on CONFIG_X86_32/EMULATION - the usage of mm->context.ia32_compat looks wrong if the task is TIF_X32.

UPROBE_COPY_INSN, UPROBE_SKIP_SSTEP, and uprobe->flags must die. This patch kills UPROBE_SKIP_SSTEP. I never understood why it was added; not only it doesn't help, it harms. It can only help to avoid arch_uprobe_skip_sstep() if it was already called before and failed. But this is ugly, if we want to know whether we can emulate this instruction or not we should do this analysis in arch_uprobe_analyze_insn(), not when we hit this probe for the first time. And in fact this logic is simply wrong. arch_uprobe_skip_sstep() can fail or not depending on the task/register state, if this insn can be emulated but, say, put_user() fails we need to xol it this time, but this doesn't mean we shouldn't try to emulate it when this or another thread hits this bp next time. And this is the actual reason for this change. We need to emulate the "call" insn, but push(return-address) can obviously fail. Per-arch notes: x86: __skip_sstep() can only emulate "rep;nop". With this change it will be called every time and most probably for no reason. This will be fixed by the next changes. We need to change this suboptimal code anyway. arm: Should not be affected. It has its own "bool simulate" flag checked in arch_uprobe_skip_sstep(). ppc: Looks like, it can emulate almost everything. Does it actually need to record the fact that emulate_step() failed? Hopefully not. But if yes, it can add the ppc- specific flag into arch_uprobe. TODO: rename arch_uprobe_skip_sstep() to arch_uprobe_emulate_insn(), Signed-off-by:

The --percentage option is for controlling overhead percentage displayed. It can only receive either of "relative" or "absolute". "relative" means it's relative to filtered entries only so that the sum of shown entries will be always 100%. "absolute" means it retains the original value before and after the filter is applied. $ perf report -s comm # Overhead Command # ........ ............ # 74.19% cc1 7.61% gcc 6.11% as 4.35% sh 4.14% make 1.13% fixdep ... $ perf report -s comm -c cc1,gcc --percentage absolute # Overhead Command # ........ ............ # 74.19% cc1 7.61% gcc $ perf report -s comm -c cc1,gcc --percentage relative # Overhead Command # ........ ............ # 90.69% cc1 9.31% gcc Note that it has zero effect if no filter was applied.

When filtering by thread, dso or symbol on TUI it also update total period so that the output shows different result than no filter - the percentage changed to relative to filtered entries only. Sometimes this is not desired since users might expect same results with filter. So new filtered_* fields to hists->stats to count them separately. They'll be controlled/used by user later.

perf stat did initialize the stats structure used to compute stddev etc. incorrectly. It merely zeroes it. But one member (min) needs to be set to a non zero value. This causes min to be not computed at all. Call init_stats() correctly. It doesn't matter for stat currently because it doesn't use min, but it's still better to do it correctly. The other users of statistics are already correct. Signed-off-by:

The dwarf_getcfi() only checks .debug_frame section for CFI, but as most binaries only have .eh_frame it'd return NULL and it makes some variables inaccessible. Using dwarf_getcfi_elf (along with dwarf_getelf()) allows to show and add probe to more variables. Signed-off-by:

As Namhyung reported(https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/1/89), current perf-probe -L option doesn't handle errors in line-range searching correctly. It causes a SEGV if an error occured in the line-range searching. ---- $ perf probe -x ./perf -v -L map__load Open Debuginfo file: /home/namhyung/project/linux/tools/perf/perf fname: util/map.c, lineno:153 New line range: 153 to 2147483647 path: (null) Segmentation fault (core dumped) ---- This is because line_range_inline_cb() ignores errors from find_line_range_by_line() which means that lr->path is already freed on the error path in find_line_range_by_line(). As a result, get_real_path() accesses the lr->path and it causes a NULL pointer exception. This fixes line_range_inline_cb() to handle the error correctly, and report it to the caller. Anyway, this just fixes a possible SEGV bug, Namhyung's patch is also required. Reported-by:

The commit 5a62257a ("perf probe: Replace line_list with intlist") replaced line_list to intlist but it has a problem that if a same line was added again, it'd return -EEXIST rather than 1. Since line_range_walk_cb() only checks the result being negative, it resulted in failure or segfault sometimes. Signed-off-by:
