To improve 'perf diff', implement a --cpu filter option. Multiple CPUs can be provided as a comma-separated list with no space: 0,1. Ranges of CPUs are specified with -: 0-2. Default is to report samples on all CPUs. For example, perf diff --cpu 0,1 It only diff the samples for CPU0 and CPU1.

To improve 'perf diff', implement a --time filter option to diff the samples within given time window. It supports time percent with multiple time ranges. The time string format is 'a%/n,b%/m,...' or 'a%-b%,c%-%d,...'. For example: Select the second 10% time slice to diff: perf diff --time 10%/2 Select from 0% to 10% time slice to diff: perf diff --time 0%-10% Select the first and the second 10% time slices to diff: perf diff --time 10%/1,10%/2 Select from 0% to 10% and 30% to 40% slices to diff: perf diff --time 0%-10%,30%-40% It also supports analysing samples within a given time window <start>,<stop>. Times have the format seconds.microseconds. If 'start' is not given (i.e., time string is ',x.y') then analysis starts at the beginning of the file. If the stop time is not given (i.e, time string is 'x.y,') then analysis goes to end of file. Time string is 'a1.b1,c1.d1:a2.b2,c2.d2'. Use ':' to separate timestamps for different perf.data files. For example, we get the timestamp information from perf script. perf script -i perf.data.old mgen 13940 [000] 3946.361400: ... perf script -i perf.data mgen 13940 [000] 3971.150589 ... perf diff --time 3946.361400,:3971.150589, It analyzes the perf.data.old from the timestamp 3946.361400 to the end of perf.data.old and analyzes the perf.data from the timestamp 3971.150589 to the end of perf.data. v4: --- Update abstime_str_dup(), let it return error if strdup is failed, and update __cmd_diff() accordingly.

Add a utility function to fetch executable code. Convert one user over to it. There are more places doing that, but they do significantly different actions, so they are not easy to fit into a single library function. Committer changes: . No need to cast around, make 'buf' be a void pointer. . Rename it to thread__memcpy() to reflect the fact it is about copying a chunk of memory from a thread, i.e. from its address space. . No need to have it in a separate object file, move it to thread.[ch] . Check the return of map__load(), the original code didn't do it, but since we're moving this around, check that as well.

The libbpf loader expects that some __btf_map_<MAP_NAME> structs be in place with the keys and values types of maps so that one can store the struct definitions and have them sent to the kernel via sys_bpf(fd, cmd = BTF_LOAD) and then later be retrievable via sys_bpf(fd, cmd = BPF_OBJ_GET_INFO_BY_FD) for use by tools such as 'bpftool map dump id MAP_ID'. Since we already have this for defining maps in 'perf trace' BPF events: bpf_map(name, _type, type_key, type_val, _max_entries) As used in the tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.c: --- 8< --- struct syscall { bool enabled; }; bpf_map(syscalls, ARRAY, int, struct syscall, 512); --- 8< --- All we need is to get all that already available info, piggyback on the 'bpf_map' define in tools/perf/include/bpf/bpf.h, that is included by 'perf trace' BPF programs and do that without requiring changes to the BPF programs already defining maps using 'bpf_map()'. So this is what we have before this patch: 1) With this in ~/.perfconfig to dump .c events as .o, aka save a copy so that we can use the .o later as a pre-compiled BPF bytecode: # grep '\[llvm\]' -A2 ~/.perfconfig [llvm] dump-obj = true clang-opt = -g # # clang --version clang version 9.0.0 (https://git.llvm.org/git/clang.git/ 7906282d3afec5dfdc2b27943fd6c0309086c507) (https://git.llvm.org/git/llvm.git/ a1b5de1ff8ae8bc79dc8e86e1f82565229bd0500) Target: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu Thread model: posix InstalledDir: /opt/llvm/bin 2) Note the -g there so that we get clang to generate debuginfo, and since the target is 'bpf' it will generate the BTF info in this clang version (9.0). 3) Run a simple 'perf record' specifiying as an event the augmented_raw_syscalls.c source code: # perf record -e /home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.c sleep 1 LLVM: dumping /home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.o [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.025 MB perf.data ] # file /home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.o /home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.o: ELF 64-bit LSB relocatable, eBPF, version 1 (SYSV), with debug_info, not stripped 4) Look at the BTF structs encoded in it: # pahole -F btf --sizes /home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.o syscall_enter_args 64 0 augmented_filename 264 0 syscall 1 0 syscall_exit_args 24 0 bpf_map 28 0 # # pahole -F btf -C syscalls /home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.o # pahole -F btf -C syscall /home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.o struct syscall { bool enabled; /* 0 1 */ /* size: 1, cachelines: 1, members: 1 */ /* last cacheline: 1 bytes */ }; # 5) Ok, with just this we don't have the markers expected by the libbpf loader and when we run with this BPF bytecode, because we have: # grep '\[trace\]' -A1 ~/.perfconfig [trace] add_events = /home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.o # 6) Lets do a 'perf trace' system wide session using this BPF program: # perf trace -e *mmsg,open* Cache2 I/O/6885 openat(AT_FDCWD, "/home/acme/.cache/mozilla/firefox/ina67tev.default/cache2/entries/BA220AB2914006A7AE96D27BE6EA13DD77519FCA", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, S_IRUSR|S_IWUSR) = 106 Cache2 I/O/6885 openat(AT_FDCWD, "/proc/self/mountinfo", O_RDONLY) = 121 Cache2 I/O/6885 openat(AT_FDCWD, "/proc/self/mountinfo", O_RDONLY) = 121 Cache2 I/O/6885 openat(AT_FDCWD, "/proc/self/mountinfo", O_RDONLY) = 121 Cache2 I/O/6885 openat(AT_FDCWD, "/proc/self/mountinfo", O_RDONLY) = 121 DNS Res~ver #3/23340 openat(AT_FDCWD, "/etc/hosts", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 106 DNS Res~ver #3/23340 sendmmsg(106<socket:[3482690]>, 0x7f252f1fcaf0, 2, MSG_NOSIGNAL) = 2 Cache2 I/O/6885 openat(AT_FDCWD, "/home/acme/.cache/mozilla/firefox/ina67tev.default/cache2/entries/BA220AB2914006A7AE96D27BE6EA13DD77519FCA", O_RDWR) = 106 lighttpd/18915 openat(AT_FDCWD, "/proc/loadavg", O_RDONLY) = 12 7) While it runs lets see the maps that 'perf trace' + libbpf's BPF loader loaded into the kernel via sys_bpf(fd, BPF_BTF_LOAD, ...): # bpftool map list | tail -6 149: perf_event_array name __augmented_sys flags 0x0 key 4B value 4B max_entries 8 memlock 4096B 150: array name syscalls flags 0x0 key 4B value 1B max_entries 512 memlock 8192B 151: hash name pids_filtered flags 0x0 key 4B value 1B max_entries 64 memlock 8192B # 8) Dump the "pids_filtered", map, that will have one entry per PID that 'perf trace' wants filtered, which includes its own, to avoid a tracing feedback loop (perf trace shows the syscalls it does which generates more syscalls that it has to show that...), it also auto-filters the 'gnome-terminal' and 'sshd' parent PIDs, for the same reason: # bpftool map dump id 151 key: a5 0c 00 00 value: 01 key: 14 63 00 00 value: 01 Found 2 elements # 9) Since there is no BTF info available, it does a generic hex dump :-\ 10) Now, with this patch applied, we'll do steps 3 to 6 again and look with pahole if there are extra structs encoded in BTF: # pahole -F btf --sizes /home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.o syscall_enter_args 64 0 augmented_filename 264 0 syscall 1 0 syscall_exit_args 24 0 bpf_map 28 0 ____btf_map___augmented_syscalls__ 8 0 ____btf_map_syscalls 8 0 ____btf_map_pids_filtered 8 0 # 11) Yes, those __btf_map_ + the map names, lets see how they look like: # pahole -F btf -C ____btf_map_syscalls /home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.o struct ____btf_map_syscalls { int key; /* 0 4 */ struct syscall value; /* 4 1 */ /* size: 8, cachelines: 1, members: 2 */ /* padding: 3 */ /* last cacheline: 8 bytes */ }; # 12) Lets repeat step 7 to get the new map ids: # bpftool map list | tail -6 155: perf_event_array name __augmented_sys flags 0x0 key 4B value 4B max_entries 8 memlock 4096B 156: array name syscalls flags 0x0 key 4B value 1B max_entries 512 memlock 8192B 157: hash name pids_filtered flags 0x0 key 4B value 1B max_entries 64 memlock 8192B # 13) And finally lets dump the 'pids_filtered': # bpftool map dump id 157 [{ "key": 3237, "value": true },{ "key": 26435, "value": true } ] # Looks much better! BTF info was used to interpret the key as an integer and the value as a struct with just one boolean member, so to make it more compact, show just the 'true' value where we saw '01'. Now to make 'perf trace --dump-map' to use BTF!

Jiri points out that we don't need any time checking and time string parsing if the --time option is not set. That makes sense. This patch refactors the time range parsing code, move the duplicated code from perf report and perf script to time_utils and check if --time option is set before parsing the time string. This patch is no logic change expected. So the usage of --time is same as before. For example: Select the first and second 10% time slices: perf report --time 10%/1,10%/2 perf script --time 10%/1,10%/2 Select the slices from 0% to 10% and from 30% to 40%: perf report --time 0%-10%,30%-40% perf script --time 0%-10%,30%-40% Select the time slices from timestamp 3971 to 3973 perf report --time 3971,3973 perf script --time 3971,3973 Committer testing: Using the above examples, check before and after to see if it remains the same: $ perf record -F 10000 -- find . -name "*.[ch]" -exec cat {} + > /dev/null [ perf record: Woken up 3 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.626 MB perf.data (42392 samples) ] $ $ perf report --time 10%/1,10%/2 > /tmp/report.before.1 $ perf script --time 10%/1,10%/2 > /tmp/script.before.1 $ perf report --time 0%-10%,30%-40% > /tmp/report.before.2 $ perf script --time 0%-10%,30%-40% > /tmp/script.before.2 $ perf report --time 180457.375844,180457.377717 > /tmp/report.before.3 $ perf script --time 180457.375844,180457.377717 > /tmp/script.before.3 For example, the 3rd test produces this slice: $ cat /tmp/script.before.3 cat 3147 180457.375844: 2143 cycles:uppp: 7f79362590d9 cfree@GLIBC_2.2.5+0x9 (/usr/lib64/libc-2.28.so) cat 3147 180457.375986: 2245 cycles:uppp: 558b70f3d86e [unknown] (/usr/bin/cat) cat 3147 180457.376012: 2164 cycles:uppp: 7f7936257430 _int_malloc+0x8c0 (/usr/lib64/libc-2.28.so) cat 3147 180457.376140: 2921 cycles:uppp: 558b70f3a554 [unknown] (/usr/bin/cat) cat 3147 180457.376296: 2844 cycles:uppp: 7f7936258abe malloc+0x4e (/usr/lib64/libc-2.28.so) cat 3147 180457.376431: 2717 cycles:uppp: 558b70f3b0ca [unknown] (/usr/bin/cat) cat 3147 180457.376667: 2630 cycles:uppp: 558b70f3d86e [unknown] (/usr/bin/cat) cat 3147 180457.376795: 2442 cycles:uppp: 7f79362bff55 read+0x15 (/usr/lib64/libc-2.28.so) cat 3147 180457.376927: 2376 cycles:uppp: ffffffff9aa00163 [unknown] ([unknown]) cat 3147 180457.376954: 2307 cycles:uppp: 7f7936257438 _int_malloc+0x8c8 (/usr/lib64/libc-2.28.so) cat 3147 180457.377116: 3091 cycles:uppp: 7f7936258a70 malloc+0x0 (/usr/lib64/libc-2.28.so) cat 3147 180457.377362: 2945 cycles:uppp: 558b70f3a3b0 [unknown] (/usr/bin/cat) cat 3147 180457.377517: 2727 cycles:uppp: 558b70f3a9aa [unknown] (/usr/bin/cat) $ Install 'coreutils-debuginfo' to see cat's guts (symbols), but then, the above chunk translates into this 'perf report' output: $ cat /tmp/report.before.3 # To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options. # # # Total Lost Samples: 0 # # Samples: 13 of event 'cycles:uppp' (time slices: 180457.375844,180457.377717) # Event count (approx.): 33552 # # Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol # ........ ....... ................ ...................... # 17.69% cat libc-2.28.so [.] malloc 14.53% cat cat [.] 0x000000000000586e 13.33% cat libc-2.28.so [.] _int_malloc 8.78% cat cat [.] 0x00000000000023b0 8.71% cat cat [.] 0x0000000000002554 8.13% cat cat [.] 0x00000000000029aa 8.10% cat cat [.] 0x00000000000030ca 7.28% cat libc-2.28.so [.] read 7.08% cat [unknown] [k] 0xffffffff9aa00163 6.39% cat libc-2.28.so [.] cfree@GLIBC_2.2.5 # # (Tip: Order by the overhead of source file name and line number: perf report -s srcline) # $ Now lets see after applying this patch, nothing should change: $ perf report --time 10%/1,10%/2 > /tmp/report.after.1 $ perf script --time 10%/1,10%/2 > /tmp/script.after.1 $ perf report --time 0%-10%,30%-40% > /tmp/report.after.2 $ perf script --time 0%-10%,30%-40% > /tmp/script.after.2 $ perf report --time 180457.375844,180457.377717 > /tmp/report.after.3 $ perf script --time 180457.375844,180457.377717 > /tmp/script.after.3 $ diff -u /tmp/report.before.1 /tmp/report.after.1 $ diff -u /tmp/script.before.1 /tmp/script.after.1 $ diff -u /tmp/report.before.2 /tmp/report.after.2 --- /tmp/report.before.2 2019-03-01 11:01:53.526094883 -0300 +++ /tmp/report.after.2 2019-03-01 11:09:18.231770467 -0300 @@ -352,5 +352,5 @@ # -# (Tip: Generate a script for your data: perf script -g <lang>) +# (Tip: Treat branches as callchains: perf report --branch-history) # $ diff -u /tmp/script.before.2 /tmp/script.after.2 $ diff -u /tmp/report.before.3 /tmp/report.after.3 --- /tmp/report.before.3 2019-03-01 11:03:08.890045588 -0300 +++ /tmp/report.after.3 2019-03-01 11:09:40.660224002 -0300 @@ -22,5 +22,5 @@ # -# (Tip: Order by the overhead of source file name and line number: perf report -s srcline) +# (Tip: List events using substring match: perf list <keyword>) # $ diff -u /tmp/script.before.3 /tmp/script.after.3 $ Cool, just the 'perf report' tips changed, QED.

When a cell with a volume location server list is added manually by echoing the details into /proc/net/afs/cells, a record is added but the flag saying it has been looked up isn't set. This causes the VL server rotation code to wait forever, with the top of /proc/pid/stack looking like: afs_select_vlserver+0x3a6/0x6f3 afs_vl_lookup_vldb+0x4b/0x92 afs_create_volume+0x25/0x1b9 ... with the thread stuck in afs_start_vl_iteration() waiting for AFS_CELL_FL_NO_LOOKUP_YET to be cleared.

Linus Torvalds authored
This reverts commit 9da3f2b7. It was well-intentioned, but wrong. Overriding the exception tables for instructions for random reasons is just wrong, and that is what the new code did. It caused problems for tracing, and it caused problems for strncpy_from_user(), because the new checks made perfectly valid use cases break, rather than catch things that did bad things. Unchecked user space accesses are a problem, but that's not a reason to add invalid checks that then people have to work around with silly flags (in this case, that 'kernel_uaccess_faults_ok' flag, which is just an odd way to say "this commit was wrong" and was sprinked into random places to hide the wrongness). The real fix to unchecked user space accesses is to get rid of the special "let's not check __get_user() and __put_user() at all" logic. Make __{get|put}_user() be just aliases to the regular {get|put}_user() functions, and make it impossible to access user space without having the proper checks in places. The raison d'être of the special double-underscore versions used to be that the range check was expensive, and if you did multiple user accesses, you'd do the range check up front (like the signal frame handling code, for example). But SMAP (on x86) and PAN (on ARM) have made that optimization pointless, because the _real_ expense is the "set CPU flag to allow user space access". Do let's not break the valid cases to catch invalid cases that shouldn't even exist. Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Cc: Tobin C.

This can cause errors when some field is missing in the perf.data This patch tracks the actually user set fields separately, so that we don't error out in this case. Before: % perf record true % perf script -F +metric Samples for 'cycles:ppp' event do not have CPU attribute set. Cannot print 'cpu' field. % After: 5 perf record true % perf script -F +metric perf 28936 278636.237688: 1 cycles:ppp: ffffffff8117da99 perf_event_exec+0x59 (/lib/modules/4.20.0-odilo/build/vmlinux) ... % Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Acked-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190224153722.27020-2-andi@firstfloor.orgSigned-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
