      perf tools: Fix trigger class trigger_on() · de19e5c3
      Adrian Hunter authored
      trigger_on() means that the trigger is available but not ready, however
      trigger_on() was making it ready. That can segfault if the signal comes
      before trigger_ready(). e.g. (USR2 signal delivery not shown)
      
        $ perf record -e intel_pt//u -S sleep 1
        perf: Segmentation fault
        Obtained 16 stack frames.

      perf stat: Fix CVS output format for non-supported counters · 40c21898
      Ilya Pronin authored
      When printing stats in CSV mode, 'perf stat' appends extra separators
      when a counter is not supported:
      
      <not supported>,,L1-dcache-store-misses,mesos/bd442f34-2b4a-47df-b966-9b281f9f56fc,0,100.00,,,,
      
      Which causes a failure when parsing fields. The numbers of separators
      should be the same for each line, no matter if the counter is or not
      supported.

      Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo-4.17-20180305' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/core
      
      Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
      
      - Be more robust when drawing arrows in the annotation TUI, avoiding a
        segfault when jump instructions have as a target addresses in functions
        other that the one currently being annotated. The full fix will come in
        the following days, when jumping to other functions will work as call
        instructions (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
      
      - Allow asking for the maximum allowed sample rate in 'top' and
        'record', i.e. 'perf record -F max' will read the
        kernel.perf_event_max_sample_rate sysctl and use it (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
      
      - When the user specifies a freq above kernel.perf_event_max_sample_rate,
        Throttle it down to that max freq, and warn the user about it, add as
        well --strict-freq so that the previous behaviour of not starting the
        session when the desired freq can't be used can be selected (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
      
      - Find 'call' instruction target symbol at parsing time, used so far in
        the TUI, part of the infrastructure changes that will end up allowing
        for jumps to navigate to other functions, just like 'call'
        instructions. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
      
      - Use xyarray dimensions to iterate fds in 'perf stat' (Andi Kleen)
      
      - Ignore threads for which the current user hasn't permissions when
        enabling system-wide --per-thread (Jin Yao)
      
      - Fix some backtrace perf test cases to use 'perf record' + 'perf script'
        instead, till 'perf trace' starts using ordered_events or equivalent
        to avoid symbol resolving artifacts due to reordering of
        PERF_RECORD_MMAP events (Jiri Olsa)
      
      - Fix crash in 'perf record' pipe mode, it needs to allocate the ID
        array even for a single event, unlike non-pipe mode (Jiri Olsa)
      
      - Make annoying fallback message on older kernels with newer 'perf top'
        binaries trying to use overwrite mode and that not being present
        in the older kernels (Kan Liang)
      
      - Switch last users of old APIs to the newer perf_mmap__read_event()
        one, then discard those old mmap read forward APIs (Kan Liang)
      
      - Fix the usage on the 'perf kallsyms' man page (Sangwon Hong)
      
      - Simplify cgroup arguments when tracking multiple events (weiping zhang)

      perf record: Fix crash in pipe mode · cfacbabd
      Jiri Olsa authored
      Currently we can crash perf record when running in pipe mode, like:
      
        $ perf record ls | perf report
        # To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options.
        #
        perf: Segmentation fault
        Error:
        The - file has no samples!
      
      The callstack of the crash is:
      
          0x0000000000515242 in perf_event__synthesize_event_update_name
        3513            ev = event_update_event__new(len + 1, PERF_EVENT_UPDATE__NAME, evsel->id[0]);
        (gdb) bt
        #0  0x0000000000515242 in perf_event__synthesize_event_update_name
        #1  0x00000000005158a4 in perf_event__synthesize_extra_attr
        #2  0x0000000000443347 in record__synthesize
        #3  0x00000000004438e3 in __cmd_record
        #4  0x000000000044514e in cmd_record
        #5  0x00000000004cbc95 in run_builtin
        #6  0x00000000004cbf02 in handle_internal_command
        #7  0x00000000004cc054 in run_argv
        #8  0x00000000004cc422 in main
      
      The reason of the crash is that the evsel does not have ids array
      allocated and the pipe's synthesize code tries to access it.
      
      We don't force evsel ids allocation when we have single event, because
      it's not needed. However we need it when we are in pipe mode even for
      single event as a key for evsel update event.
      
      Fixing this by forcing evsel ids allocation event for single event, when
      we are in pipe mode.

      perf annotate browser: Be more robust when drawing jump arrows · 9cf195f8
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      This first happened with a gcc function, _cpp_lex_token, that has the
      usual jumps:
      
       │1159e6c: ↓ jne    115aa32 <_cpp_lex_token@@Base+0xf92>
      
      I.e. jumps to a label inside that function (_cpp_lex_token), and those
      works, but also this kind:
      
       │1159e8b: ↓ jne    c469be <cpp_named_operator2name@@Base+0xa72>
      
      I.e. jumps to another function, outside _cpp_lex_token, which are not
      being correctly handled generating as a side effect references to
      ab->offset[] entries that are set to NULL, so to make this code more
      robust, check that here.
      
      A proper fix for will be put in place, looking at the function name
      right after the '<' token and probably treating this like a 'call'
      instruction.
      
      For now just don't draw the arrow.

      perf top: Fix annoying fallback message on older kernels · 626af862
      Kan Liang authored
      On older (e.g. v4.4) kernels, an annoying fallback message can be
      observed in 'perf top':
      
      	┌─Warning:──────────────────────┐
      	│fall back to non-overwrite mode│
      	│                               │

      	│Press any key...               │
      	└───────────────────────────────┘
      
      The 'perf top' utility has been changed to overwrite mode since commit
      ebebbf08 ("perf top: Switch default mode to overwrite mode").
      
      For older kernels which don't have overwrite mode support, 'perf top'
      will fall back to non-overwrite mode and print out the fallback message
      using ui__warning(), which needs user's input to close.
      
      The fallback message is not critical for end users. Turning it to debug
      message which is printed when running with -vv.
