      perf tools: Improve error reporting · ffa91880
      Adrien BAK authored
      In the current version, when using perf record, if something goes
      wrong in tools/perf/builtin-record.c:375
        session = perf_session__new(file, false, NULL);
      
      The error message:
      "Not enough memory for reading per file header"
      
      is issued. This error message seems to be outdated and is not very
      helpful. This patch proposes to replace this error message by
      "Perf session creation failed"
      
      I believe this issue has been brought to lkml:
      https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/24/458
      although this patch only tackles a (small) part of the issue.
      
      Additionnaly, this patch improves error reporting in
      tools/perf/util/data.c open_file_write.
      
      Currently, if the call to open fails, the user is unaware of it.
      This patch logs the error, before returning the error code to
      the caller.

      perf tools: Adjust symbols in VDSO · 922d0e4d
      Vladimir Nikulichev authored
      pert-report doesn't resolve function names in VDSO:
      
      $ perf report --stdio -g flat,0.0,15,callee --sort pid
      ...
                  8.76%
                     0x7fff6b1fe861
                     __gettimeofday
                     ACE_OS::gettimeofday()
      ...
      
      In this case symbol values should be adjusted the same way as for executables,
      relocatable objects and prelinked libraries.
      
      After fix:
      
      $ perf report --stdio -g flat,0.0,15,callee --sort pid
      ...

      perf kvm: Fix 'Min time' counting in report command · acb61fc8
      Alexander Yarygin authored
      Every event in the perf-kvm has a 'stats' structure, which contains
      max/min/average/etc times of handling this event.
      The problem is that the 'perf-kvm stat report' command always shows
      that 'min time' is 0us for every event. Example:
      
       # perf kvm stat report
      
       Analyze events for all VCPUs:
      
          VM-EXIT    Samples  Samples%     Time%   Min Time   Max Time Avg time
        [..]
        0xB2 MSCH         12     0.07%     0.00%        0us        8us 7.31us ( +-   2.11% )
        0xB2 CHSC         12     0.07%     0.00%        0us       18us 9.39us ( +-   9.49% )
        0xB2 STPX          8     0.05%     0.00%        0us        2us 1.88us ( +-   7.18% )
        0xB2 STSI          7     0.04%     0.00%        0us       44us 16.49us ( +-  38.20% )
        [..]
      
      This happens because the 'stats' structure is not initialized and
      stats->min equals to 0. Lets initialize the structure for every
      event after its allocation using init_stats() function. This initializes
      stats->min to -1 and makes 'Min time' statistics counting work:
      
       # perf kvm stat report
      
       Analyze events for all VCPUs:
      
          VM-EXIT    Samples  Samples%     Time%   Min Time   Max Time Avg time
        [..]
        0xB2 MSCH         12     0.07%     0.00%        6us        8us 7.31us ( +-   2.11% )

      coredump: fix va_list corruption · 404ca80e
      Eric Dumazet authored
      A va_list needs to be copied in case it needs to be used twice.
      
      Thanks to Hugh for debugging this issue, leading to various panics.
      
      Tested:
      
        lpq84:~# echo "|/foobar12345 %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h" >/proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
      
      'produce_core' is simply : main() { *(int *)0 = 1;}
      
        lpq84:~# ./produce_core
        Segmentation fault (core dumped)
        lpq84:~# dmesg | tail -1
        [  614.352947] Core dump to |/foobar12345 lpq84 lpq84 lpq84 lpq84 lpq84 lpq84 lpq84 lpq84 lpq84 lpq84 lpq84 lpq84 lpq84 lpq84 lpq84 lpq84 lpq84 lpq84 lpq84 (null) pipe failed
      
      Notice the last argument was replaced by a NULL (we were lucky enough to
      not crash, but do not try this on your production machine !)
      
      After fix :
      
        lpq83:~# echo "|/foobar12345 %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h %h" >/proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
