      perf tests: Add APX and other new instructions to x86 instruction decoder test · fcd094e5
      Adrian Hunter authored 
      Add samples of APX and other new instructions to the 'x86 instruction
decoder - new instructions' test.

Note the test is only available if the perf tool has been built with
EXTRA_TESTS=1.

Example:

  $ make EXTRA_TESTS=1 -C tools/perf
  $ tools/perf/perf test -F -v 'new ins' |& grep -i 'jmpabs\|popp\|pushp'
  Decoded ok: d5 00 a1 ef cd ab 90 78 56 34 12    jmpabs $0x1234567890abcdef
  Decoded ok: d5 08 53                    pushp  %rbx
  Decoded ok: d5 18 50                    pushp  %r16
  Decoded ok: d5 19 57                    pushp  %r31
  Decoded ok: d5 19 5f                    popp   %r31
  Decoded ok: d5 18 58                    popp   %r16
  Decoded ok: d5 08 5b                    popp   %rbx

      perf intel pt: Add new JMPABS instruction to the Intel PT instruction decoder · a44abd2c
      Adrian Hunter authored 
      JMPABS is 64-bit absolute direct jump instruction, encoded with a mandatory
REX2 prefix. JMPABS is designed to be used in the procedure linkage table
(PLT) to replace indirect jumps, because it has better performance. In that
case the jump target will be amended at run time. To enable Intel PT to
follow the code, a TIP packet is always emitted when JMPABS is traced under
Intel PT.

Refer to the Intel Advanced Performance Extensions (Intel APX) Architecture
Specification for details.

Decode JMPABS as an indirect jump, because it has an associated TIP packet
the same as an indirect jump and the control flow should follow the TIP
packet payload, and not assume it is the same as the on-file object code
JMPABS target address.

      perf test: Check output of the probe ... --funcs command · abc0f0c4
      Chaitanya S Prakash authored 
      Test "perf probe of function from different CU" only checks if the perf
command has failed and doesn't test the --funcs output. In the issue
reported in the previous commit, the garbage output of the --funcs
command was being ignored by the test when it could have been caught.

The script first makes use of --funcs option with the perf probe command
to check if the function "foo" exists in the testfile before adding a
probe to it in the next command. The output of probe...--funcs command
is redirected to stdout, therefore, add '| grep "foo"' to validate the
result.

      tools/perf: Fix parallel-perf python script to replace new python syntax ":=" usage · 7d49ced8
      Athira Rajeev authored 
      perf test "perf script tests" fails as below in systems
with python 3.6

	File "/home/athira/linux/tools/perf/tests/shell/../../scripts/python/parallel-perf.py", line 442
	if line := p.stdout.readline():
             ^
	SyntaxError: invalid syntax
	--- Cleaning up ---
	---- end(-1) ----
	92: perf script tests: FAILED!

This happens because ":=" is a new syntax that assigns values
to variables as part of a larger expression. This is introduced
from python 3.8 and hence fails in setup with python 3.6
Address this by splitting the large expression and check the
value in two steps:
Previous line: if line := p.stdout.readline():
Current change:
	line = p.stdout.readline()
	if line:

With patch

	./perf test "perf script tests"
	 93: perf script tests:  Ok

      tools/perf: Use is_perf_pid_map_name helper function to check dso's of pattern /tmp/perf-%d.map · b9241f15
      Athira Rajeev authored 
      commit 80d496be ("perf report: Add support for profiling JIT
generated code") added support for profiling JIT generated code.
This patch handles dso's of form "/tmp/perf-$PID.map".

Some of the references doesn't check exactly for same pattern.
some uses "if (!strncmp(dso_name, "/tmp/perf-", 10))". Fix
this by using helper function perf_pid_map_tid and
is_perf_pid_map_name which looks for proper pattern of
form: "/tmp/perf-$PID.map" for these checks.

      tools/perf: Fix the string match for "/tmp/perf-$PID.map" files in dso__load · b0979f00
      Athira Rajeev authored 
      Perf test for perf probe of function from different CU fails
as below:

	./perf test -vv "test perf probe of function from different CU"
	116: test perf probe of function from different CU:
	--- start ---
	test child forked, pid 2679
	Failed to find symbol foo in /tmp/perf-uprobe-different-cu-sh.Msa7iy89bx/testfile
	  Error: Failed to add events.
	--- Cleaning up ---
	"foo" does not hit any event.
	  Error: Failed to delete events.
	---- end(-1) ----
	116: test perf probe of function from different CU                   : FAILED!

The test does below to probe function "foo" :

	# gcc -g -Og -flto -c /tmp/perf-uprobe-different-cu-sh.XniNxNEVT7/testfile-foo.c
	-o /tmp/perf-uprobe-different-cu-sh.XniNxNEVT7/testfile-foo.o
	# gcc -g -Og -c /tmp/perf-uprobe-different-cu-sh.XniNxNEVT7/testfile-main.c
	-o /tmp/perf-uprobe-different-cu-sh.XniNxNEVT7/testfile-main.o
	# gcc -g -Og -o /tmp/perf-uprobe-different-cu-sh.XniNxNEVT7/testfile
	/tmp/perf-uprobe-different-cu-sh.XniNxNEVT7/testfile-foo.o
	/tmp/perf-uprobe-different-cu-sh.XniNxNEVT7/testfile-main.o

	# ./perf probe -x /tmp/perf-uprobe-different-cu-sh.XniNxNEVT7/testfile foo
	Failed to find symbol foo in /tmp/perf-uprobe-different-cu-sh.XniNxNEVT7/testfile
	   Error: Failed to add events.

Perf probe fails to find symbol foo in the executable placed in
/tmp/perf-uprobe-different-cu-sh.XniNxNEVT7

Simple reproduce:

 # mktemp -d /tmp/perf-checkXXXXXXXXXX
   /tmp/perf-checkcWpuLRQI8j

 # gcc -g -o test test.c
 # cp test /tmp/perf-checkcWpuLRQI8j/
 # nm /tmp/perf-checkcWpuLRQI8j/test | grep foo
   00000000100006bc T foo

 # ./perf probe -x /tmp/perf-checkcWpuLRQI8j/test foo
   Failed to find symbol foo in /tmp/perf-checkcWpuLRQI8j/test
      Error: Failed to add events.

But it works with any files like /tmp/perf/test. Only for
patterns with "/tmp/perf-", this fails.

Further debugging, commit 80d496be ("perf report: Add support
for profiling JIT generated code") added support for profiling JIT
generated code. This patch handles dso's of form
"/tmp/perf-$PID.map" .

The check used "if (strncmp(self->name, "/tmp/perf-", 10) == 0)"
to match "/tmp/perf-$PID.map". With this commit, any dso in
/tmp/perf- folder will be considered separately for processing
(not only JIT created map files ). Fix this by changing the
string pattern to check for "/tmp/perf-%d.map". Add a helper
function is_perf_pid_map_name to do this check. In "struct dso",
dso->long_name holds the long name of the dso file. Since the
/tmp/perf-$PID.map check uses the complete name, use dso___long_name for
the string name.

With the fix,
	# ./perf test "test perf probe of function from different CU"
	117: test perf probe of function from different CU                   : Ok

Fixes: 56cbeacf ("perf probe: Add test for regression introduced by switch to die_get_decl_file()")
