      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 This error message seems to be outdated and is not very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
...
            8.76%
               __vdso_gettimeofday
               __gettimeofday
               ACE_OS::gettimeofday()

      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% )
  0xB2 CHSC         12     0.07%     0.00%        7us       18us 9.39us ( +-   9.49% )
  0xB2 STPX          8     0.05%     0.00%        1us        2us 1.88us ( +-   7.18% )
  0xB2 STSI          7     0.04%     0.00%        1us       44us 16.49us ( +-  38.20% )

      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

  Segmentation fault
