Spurious NMIs will be observed with the following command: while :; do perf record -bae "cpu/umask=0x01,event=0xcd,ldlat=0x80/pp" -e "cpu/umask=0x03,event=0x0/" -e "cpu/umask=0x02,event=0x0/" -e cycles,branches,cache-misses -e cache-references -- sleep 10 done The bug was introduced by commit: 8077eca0 ("perf/x86/pebs: Add workaround for broken OVFL status on HSW+") That commit clears the status bits for the counters used for PEBS events, by masking the whole 64 bits pebs_enabled. However, only the low 32 bits of both status and pebs_enabled are reserved for PEBS-able counters. For status bits 32-34 are fixed counter overflow bits. For pebs_enabled bits 32-34 are for PEBS Load Latency. In the test case, the PEBS Load Latency event and fixed counter event could overflow at the same time. The fixed counter overflow bit will be cleared by mistake. Once it is cleared, the fixed counter overflow never be processed, which finally trigger spurious NMI. Correct the PEBS enabled mask by ignoring the non-PEBS bits. Signed-off-by:Kan Liang <kan.liang@intel.com> Signed-off-by:

In https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/2/2/16 I reported a build error that I believed was caused by wrong uapi includes. The synthom was fixed by Arnaldo in: commit 2f7db555 ("perf tools: Fix include of linux/mman.h") but I was wrong attributing the problem to the uapi include. The root cause was that I was using ARCH=x86_64, hence using the wrong uapi include path. This explains why no one else ran into this build problem. Signed-off-by:

This change is a follow up of https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/2/2/16 The patch above avoided redefining CC, CXX and PKG_CONFIG in feature detection. The patch was not merged due to a unsolved concern with the -MD flag. Later, commit c8c18867 ("tools build: Use the same CC for feature detection and actual build") did the change for CC and CXX but not PKG_CONFIG. This patch makes PKG_CONFIG consistent with CC and CXX and moves the -MD to CFLAGS, as suggested by Jiri in the thread above. Signed-off-by:

perf trace supports --no-syscalls option but it's not listed in the man page. (Though, I see an example using --no-syscalls in EXAMPLES section.) Committer note: The --no-syscalls option tells 'perf trace' not to automagically ask for raw_syscalls:sys_{enter,exit} to then format it in a strace like way. This become more used as 'perf trace' got support for arbitrary events, such as tracepoints, so more and more we use: # perf trace --no-syscalls -e nmi:* 0.000 nmi:nmi_handler:perf_event_nmi_handler() delta_ns: 36649 handled: 1) 0.019 nmi:nmi_handler:nmi_cpu_backtrace_handler() delta_ns: 2907 handled: 0) 0.676 nmi:nmi_handler:perf_event_nmi_handler() delta_ns: 9401 handled: 1) 0.680 nmi:nmi_handler:nmi_cpu_backtrace_handler() delta_ns: 288 handled: 0) 0.701 nmi:nmi_handler:perf_event_nmi_handler() delta_ns: 4977 handled: 1) 0.703 nmi:nmi_handler:nmi_cpu_backtrace_handler() delta_ns: 67 handled: 0) 0.736 nmi:nmi_handler:perf_event_nmi_handler() delta_ns: 8549 handled: 1) ^C# Signed-off-by:Ravi Bangoria <ravi.bangoria@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Alexis Berlemont <alexis.berlemont@gmail.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1492063332-5745-1-git-send-email-ravi.bangoria@linux.vnet.ibm.comSigned-off-by:

(This is a patch has been sitting in the Intel CQM/CMT driver series for a while, despite not depend on it. Sending it now independently since the series is being discarded.) When an event is in error state, read() returns 0 instead of sizeof() buffer. In certain modes, such as interval printing, ignoring the 0 return value may cause bogus count deltas to be computed and thus invalid results printed. This patch fixes this problem by modifying read_counters() to mark the event as not scaled (scaled = -1) to force the printout routine to show <NOT COUNTED>. Signed-off-by:

( This is a rebased version of https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/2/7/662 ) Python's CC and link Makefile variables were not passed to feature detection, causing feature detection to use system's Python rather than PYTHON_CONFIG's one. This created a mismatch between the detected Python support and the one actually used by perf when PYTHON_CONFIG is specified. Fix it by moving Python's variable initialization to before feature detection and pass FLAGS_PYTHON_EMBED to Python's feature detection's build target. Signed-off-by:

Consolidate x86 instruction decoder users on the path of copying original code for kprobes. Kprobes decodes the same instruction a maximum of 3 times when preparing the instruction buffer: - The first time for getting the length of the instruction, - the 2nd for adjusting displacement, - and the 3rd for checking whether the instruction is boostable or not. For each time, the actual decoding target address is slightly different (1st is original address or recovered instruction buffer, 2nd and 3rd are pointing to the copied buffer), but all have the same instruction. Thus, this patch also changes the target address to the copied buffer at first and reuses the decoded "insn" for displacement adjusting and checking boostability. Signed-off-by:

__perf_session__process_pipe_events reuses the same memory buffer to process all events in the pipe. When reordering is needed (e.g. -b option), events are not immediately flushed, but kept around until reordering is possible, causing memory corruption. The problem is usually observed by a "Unknown sample error" output. It can easily be reproduced by: perf record -o - noploop | perf inject -b > output Committer testing: Before: $ perf record -o - stress -t 2 -c 2 | perf inject -b > /dev/null stress: info: [8297] dispatching hogs: 2 cpu, 0 io, 0 vm, 0 hdd stress: info: [8297] successful run completed in 2s [ perf record: Woken up 3 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.000 MB - ] Warning: Found 1 unknown events!

The kernel has a special check for a specific irq_vectors trace event. TRACE_EVENT_PERF_PERM(irq_work_exit, is_sampling_event(p_event) ? -EPERM : 0); The perf-record fails for this irq_vectors event when it is present, like when using a wildcard: root@skl:/tmp# perf record -a -e irq_vectors:* sleep 2 Error: You may not have permission to collect system-wide stats. Consider tweaking /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid, which controls use of the performance events system by unprivileged users (without CAP_SYS_ADMIN). The current value is 2: -1: Allow use of (almost) all events by all users >= 0: Disallow raw tracepoint access by users without CAP_IOC_LOCK >= 1: Disallow CPU event access by users without CAP_SYS_ADMIN >= 2: Disallow kernel profiling by users without CAP_SYS_ADMIN To make this setting permanent, edit /etc/sysctl.conf too, e.g.: kernel.perf_event_paranoid = -1 This patch prints out the exact sub event that failed with EPERM for wildcards to help in understanding what went wrong when this event is present: After the patch: root@skl:/tmp# perf record -a -e irq_vectors:* sleep 2 Error: No permission to enable irq_vectors:irq_work_exit event.
