The --max-stack option value does not ensure now the limit for number of callchain_cursor nodes, so the cumulative iter code will allocate smaller array than it's actually needed and cause above corruption. I think the --max-stack limit does not apply here anyway, because we add callchain data as normal hist entries, while the --max-stack control the limit of single entry callchain depth. Using the callchain_cursor.nr as he_cache array count to fix this. Also removing struct hist_entry_iter::max_stack, because there's no longer any use for it. We need more fixes to ensure that the branch stack code follows properly the logic of --max-stack, which is not the case at the moment. Original-patch-by:

While applying this I first tested it on a Broadwell class machine and couldn't get those columns, will add code to the annotate browser to warn the user about that, i.e. you have branch records, but no cycles, use a more recent hardware to get the cycles and IPC columns.

There may be discontinuities in the ETM trace stream due to overflows or ETM configuration for selective trace. This patch emits an instruction sample with the pending branch stack when a TRACE ON packet occurs indicating a discontinuity in the trace data. A new packet type CS_ETM_TRACE_ON is added, which is emitted by the low level decoder when a TRACE ON occurs. The higher level decoder flushes the branch stack when this packet is emitted.

Added user space perf functionality to translate CoreSight traces into instruction events with branch stack. To invoke the new functionality, use the perf inject tool with --itrace=il. For example, to translate the ETM trace from perf.data into last branch records in a new inj.data file: $ perf inject --itrace=i100000il128 -i perf.data -o perf.data.new The 'i' parameter to itrace generates periodic instruction events. The period between instruction events can be specified as a number of instructions suffixed by i (default 100000). The parameter to 'l' specifies the number of entries in the branch stack attached to instruction events. The 'b' parameter to itrace generates events on taken branches. This patch also fixes the contents of the branch events used in perf report - previously branch events were generated for each contiguous range of instructions executed. These are fixed to generate branch events between the last address of a range ending in an executed branch instruction and the start address of the next range. Based on patches by Sebastian Pop <s.pop@samsung.com> with additional fixes and support for specifying the instruction period. Originally-by:Sebastian Pop <s.pop@samsung.com> Signed-off-by:

When working natively on arm64 the compiler gets pesky and complains that variable 'i' is uninitialised, something that breaks the compilation. Here no further checks are needed since variable 'found_spe' can only be true if variable 'i' has been initialised as part of the for loop. Signed-off-by:

Mathieu Poirier reports issue in commit ("73c0ca1e perf thread_map: Enumerate all threads from /proc") that it has negative impact on 'perf record --per-thread'. It has the effect of creating a kernel event for each thread in the system for 'perf record --per-thread'. Mathieu Poirier's patch ("perf util: Do not reuse target->per_thread flag") can fix this issue by creating a new target->all_threads flag. This patch is based on Mathieu Poirier's patch but it doesn't use a new target->all_threads flag. This patch just uses 'target->per_thread && target->system_wide' as a condition to check for all threads case. Signed-off-by: -

The symbol search called by machine__find_kernel_symbol_by_name is using internally arch__compare_symbol_names function to compare 2 symbol names, because different archs have different ways of comparing symbols. Mostly for skipping '.' prefixes and similar. In test 1 when we try to find matching symbols in kallsyms and vmlinux, by address and by symbol name. When either is found we compare the pair symbol names by simple strcmp, which is not good enough for reasons explained in previous paragraph. On powerpc this can cause lockup, because even thought we found the pair, the compared names are different and don't match simple strcmp. Following code path is executed, that leads to lockup: - we find the pair in kallsyms by sym->start next_pair: - we compare the names and it fails - we find the pair by sym->name - the pair addresses match so we call goto next_pair because we assume the names match in this case Signed-off-by:Naveen N.

There's no need for kernel maps to be allocated at this point - sample processing. We search for kernel maps using the kernel map_groups in machine::kmaps which is static. If vmlinux maps for any reason still don't exist, the search correctly fails because they are not in the map group. Signed-off-by:

We should not search for the kernel start address in __machine__create_kernel_maps(), because it's being used in the 'report' code path, where we are interested in kernel MMAP data address (the one recorded via 'perf record', possibly on another machine, or an older or newer kernel on the same machine where analysis is being performed) instead of in current kernel address. The __machine__create_kernel_maps() function serves purely for creating the machines kernel maps and setting up the kmap group. The report code path then sets the address based on the data from kernel MMAP event in the machine__set_kernel_mmap() function. The kallsyms search address logic is used for test code, that calls machine__create_kernel_maps() to get current maps and calls machine__get_running_kernel_start() to get kernel starting address. Use machine__set_kernel_mmap() to set the kernel maps start address and moving map_groups__fixup_end to be call when all maps are in place. Also make __machine__create_kernel_maps static, because there's no external user. Signed-off-by:

The current code in dso__load() calls is_regular_file(), but it checks its return value only after calling symsrc__init(). That can make symsrc__init() block in elf_* functions on reading the file if the file happens to be device and not regular one. Call symsrc__init() only for regular files. Also remove the symsrc__destroy() cleanup, which is not needed now, because we call symsrc__init() only for regular files. Signed-off-by:

Introduce a new option to print counts after N milliseconds and update 'perf stat' documentation accordingly. Show below is the output of the new option for perf stat. $ perf stat --time 2000 -e cycles -a Performance counter stats for 'system wide': 157,260,423 cycles 2.003060766 seconds time elapsed We can print the count deltas after N milliseconds with this new introduced option. This option is not supported with "-I" option. In addition, according to Kangliang's patch(19afd104), the monitoring overhead for system-wide core event could be very high if the interval-print parameter was below 100ms, and the limitation value is 10ms. So the same warning will be displayed when the time is set between 10ms to 100ms, and the minimal time is limited to 10ms. Users can make a decision according to their spcific cases. Committer notes: This actually stops the workload after the specified time, then prints the counts. So I renamed the option to --timeout and updated the documentation to state that it will not just print the counts after the specified time, but will really stop the 'perf stat' session and print the counts. The rename from 'time' to 'timeout' also fixes the build in systems where 'time' is used by glibc and can't be used as a name of a variable, such as centos:5 and centos:6. Changes since v3: - none. Changes since v2: - modify the time check in __run_perf_stat func to keep some consistency with the workload case. - add the warning when the time is set between 10ms to 100ms. - add the pr_err when the time is set below 10ms. Changes since v1: - none. Signed-off-by:yuzhoujian <yuzhoujian@didichuxing.com> Acked-by:

Add support to display group output for if non grouped events are detected and user forces --group option.

When we strip the perf binary, dwarf unwind test stop to work. The reason is that strip will remove static function symbols, which we need to check for unwind. This change will keep this test working in cases where the global symbols are put into dynamic symbol table, which is the case on x86. It still won't work on powerpc.

Improve error handling when disarming ftrace-based kprobes. Like with arm_kprobe_ftrace(), propagate any errors from disarm_kprobe_ftrace() so that we do not disable/unregister kprobes that are still armed. In other words, unregister_kprobe() and disable_kprobe() should not report success if the kprobe could not be disarmed. disarm_all_kprobes() keeps its current behavior and attempts to disarm all kprobes. It returns the last encountered error and gives a warning if not all probes could be disarmed. This patch is based on Petr Mladek's original patchset (patches 2 and 3) back in 2015, which improved kprobes error handling, found here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/2/26/452 However, further work on this had been paused since then and the patches were not upstreamed.

Improve error handling when arming ftrace-based kprobes. Specifically, if we fail to arm a ftrace-based kprobe, register_kprobe()/enable_kprobe() should report an error instead of success. Previously, this has lead to confusing situations where register_kprobe() would return 0 indicating success, but the kprobe would not be functional if ftrace registration during the kprobe arming process had failed. We should therefore take any errors returned by ftrace into account and propagate this error so that we do not register/enable kprobes that cannot be armed. This can happen if, for example, register_ftrace_function() finds an IPMODIFY conflict (since kprobe_ftrace_ops has this flag set) and returns an error. Such a conflict is possible since livepatches also set the IPMODIFY flag for their ftrace_ops. arm_all_kprobes() keeps its current behavior and attempts to arm all kprobes. It returns the last encountered error and gives a warning if not all probes could be armed. This patch is based on Petr Mladek's original patchset (patches 2 and 3) back in 2015, which improved kprobes error handling, found here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/2/26/452 However, further work on this had been paused since then and the patches were not upstreamed.

Recently, s390 uses a syscall.tbl input file to generate its system call table and unistd uapi header files. Hence, update mksyscalltbl to use it as input to create the system table for perf. Signed-off-by:

On s390x only dwarf is available for stack unwinding. It is also done in user space. This requires different parameter setup and result checking for s390x and Intel. This patch adds separate perf trace setup and result checking for Intel and s390x.
