Now that we dynamicly add entries on the timer we need to not only traverse all entries when the user zooms into threads and/or DSOs, but as well after that apply it to the new batches of hist entries in hists__collapse_resort. Reported-by:

Since with dynamic addition of new hist entries we need to apply those filters as we merge new batches of hist_entry instances, for instance in perf top.

The selection and scroll bar are really needed only when the user starts navigating, before that it just provide distractions. This also brings the initial screen to look more like the stdio UI, which more people are used to. The new code is flexible enough that menu like browsers can opt out and start with those UI elements.

When compiling an i386_defconfig kernel with gcc-4.6.1-9.fc15.i686, I noticed a warning about the asm operand for test_bit in kprobes' can_boost. I discovered that this caused only the first long of twobyte_is_boostable[] to be output. Jakub filed and fixed gcc PR50571 to correct the warning and this output issue. But to solve it for less current gcc, we can make kprobes' twobyte_is_boostable[] volatile, and it won't be optimized out.

With underlying dynamic data structures we need to invalidate pointers to them after a timer, as that entry may have vanished (decayed in top, for instance). I forgot about browser_ui->top. Fix it by resetting it to null after a timer. The seek operation from SEEK_SET will then set it to a valid entry because it starts from rb_first(&hists->entries). Reported-by:

The trace_pipe_raw handler holds a cached page from the time the file is opened to the time it is closed. The cached page is used to handle the case of the user space buffer being smaller than what was read from the ring buffer. The left over buffer is held in the cache so that the next read will continue where the data left off. After EOF is returned (no more data in the buffer), the index of the cached page is set to zero. If a user app reads the page again after EOF, the check in the buffer will see that the cached page is less than page size and will return the cached page again. This will cause reading the trace_pipe_raw again after EOF to return duplicate data, making the output look like the time went backwards but instead data is just repeated. The fix is to not reset the index right after all data is read from the cache, but to reset it after all data is read and more data exists in the ring buffer.

When using multiple events the 'top' and 'report' tools will first present the user with a menu to choose the event to browse. After that the user can either press <- to go back to the menu and choose another event or instead press TAB to go the next event without having to go back to the menu or shift-TAB (UNTAB) to go the previous event, useful to quickly visually see if multiple events are correlated. The handling of each hists browser return was broken by the ed7e5662, that combined both switches, the first that was for choosing the event and the second that was for checking if switching to the next event without passing thru the events menu. Repeat with me: Don't be clever like that. Fix it by moving the switch to right after the call to the hists browser, making abundantly clear that the two switches are unrelated. This also fixes a compiler warning about the 'pos' variable being possibly used unitialized. Reported-by:

In browsers that access dynamic underlying data structures, like in the hists browser and its hist_entry rb_tree, we need to revalidate any reference to the underlying data structure, because they can have gone away, decayed. This fixes a problem where after a while the top entries get behind the top of the screen, i.e. the top_idx stays at 0, which means it is at the first entry in the rb_tree when in fact it wasn't because the browser->top didn't got revalidated after the timer ran and the underlying data structure got updated.

When doing intense tracing, the kmalloc inside trace_marker can introduce side effects to what is being traced. As trace_marker() is used by userspace to inject data into the kernel ring buffer, it needs to do so with the least amount of intrusion to the operations of the kernel or the user space application. As the ring buffer is designed to write directly into the buffer without the need to make a temporary buffer, and userspace already went through the hassle of knowing how big the write will be, we can simply pin the userspace pages and write the data directly into the buffer. This improves the impact of tracing via trace_marker tremendously! Thanks to Peter Zijlstra and Thomas Gleixner for pointing out the use of get_user_pages_fast() and kmap_atomic(). Suggested-by:

As the function tracer is very intrusive, lots of self checks are performed on the tracer and if something is found to be strange it will shut itself down keeping it from corrupting the rest of the kernel. This shutdown may still allow functions to be traced, as the tracing only stops new modifications from happening. Trying to stop the function tracer itself can cause more harm as it requires code modification. Although a WARN_ON() is executed, a user may not notice it. To help the user see that something isn't right with the tracing of the system a big warning is added to the output of the tracer that lets the user know that their data may be incomplete.

Fix kprobe-tracer not to delete a probe if the probe is in use. In that case, delete operation will return -EBUSY. This bug can cause a kernel panic if enabled probes are deleted during perf record. (Add some probes on functions) sh-4.2# perf probe --del probe:\* sh-4.2# exit (kernel panic) This is originally reported on the fedora bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=742383 I've also checked that this problem doesn't happen on tracepoints when module removing because perf event locks target module. $ sudo ./perf record -e xfs:\* -aR sh sh-4.2# rmmod xfs ERROR: Module xfs is in use sh-4.2# exit [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.203 MB perf.data (~8862 samples) ] Signed-off-by:
