Remove unneeded symbol check for --list option. This code actually checks whether the given symbol exists in the kernel. But this is incorrect for online kernel/module and offline module too: - For online kernel/module, the kprobes itself already ensured the symbol exist in the kernel. - For offline module, this code can't access the offlined modules. Ignore it. Signed-off-by:

Some perf-probe commands do symbol_init() but doesn't do exit call. This fixes that to call symbol_exit() and releases machine if needed. This also merges init_vmlinux() and init_user_exec() because both of them are doing similar things. (init_user_exec() just skips init vmlinux related symbol maps) Changes from v2: - Not to set symbol_conf.try_vmlinux_path in init_symbol_maps() (Thanks to Namhyung Kim!) Signed-off-by:

This was needed at the time before e66eed65 ("list: remove prefetching from regular list iterators") where the list iterators did prefetch elements. This turned out to be counter-productive and hurt performance and they were removed. Which makes the prefetch.h header unused so drop it. Signed-off-by:

Making perf_reg_value function global (formely reg_value), because it's going to be used globaly across all code providing the dwarf post unwind feature. Changing its prototype to be generic: -int reg_value(unw_word_t *valp, struct regs_dump *regs, int id) +int perf_reg_value(u64 *valp, struct regs_dump *regs, int id); Changing the valp type from libunwind specific 'unw_word_t' to u64.

Adding dwarf unwind test, that setups live machine data over the perf test thread and does the remote unwind. At this moment this test fails due to bug in the max_stack processing in unwind__get_entries function. This is fixed in following patch. Need to use -fno-optimize-sibling-calls for test compilation, otherwise 'krava_*' function calls are optimized into jumps and ommited from the stack unwind. So far it's enabled only for x86.

Supporting decoding the ioctl 'request' parameter needs more work to properly support more architectures, the current approach doesn't work on at least powerpc and sparc, as reported by Ben Hutchings in http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1391593985.3003.48.camel@deadeye.wl.decadent.org.uk . Work around that by making it to be ifdefed for the architectures known to work with the current, limited approach, i386 and x86_64 till better code is written. Reported-by:

"perf list" listing of hardware events doesn't work on older ARM devices. The change enabling event detection: commit b41f1cec Author: Namhyung Kim <namhyung.kim@lge.com> Date: Tue Aug 27 11:41:53 2013 +0900 perf list: Skip unsupported events uses the following code in tools/perf/util/parse-events.c: struct perf_event_attr attr = { .type = type, .config = config, .disabled = 1, .exclude_kernel = 1, }; On ARM machines pre-dating the Cortex-A15 this doesn't work, as these machines don't support .exclude_kernel. So starting with 3.12 "perf list" does not report any hardware events at all on older machines (seen on Rasp-Pi, Pandaboard, Beagleboard, etc). This version of the patch makes changes suggested by Namhyung Kim to check for EACCESS and retry (instead of just dropping the exclude_kernel) so we can properly handle machines where /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid is set to 2.

Fix perf-probe not to add offset value twice to uprobe probe address when post processing. The tevs[i].point.address struct member is the address of symbol+offset, but current perf-probe adjusts the point.address by adding the offset. As a result, the probe address becomes symbol+offset+offset. This may cause unexpected code corruption. Urgent fix is needed. Without this fix: --- # ./perf probe -x ./perf dso__load_vmlinux+4 # ./perf probe -l probe_perf:dso__load_vmlinux (on 0x000000000006d2b8) # nm ./perf.orig | grep dso__load_vmlinux\$ 000000000046d0a0 T dso__load_vmlinux --- You can see the given offset is 3 but the actual probed address is dso__load_vmlinux+8. With this fix: --- # ./perf probe -x ./perf dso__load_vmlinux+4 # ./perf probe -l probe_perf:dso__load_vmlinux (on 0x000000000006d2b4) --- Now the problem is fixed.

A bunch of unknown NMIs have popped up on a Pentium4 recently when booting into a kdump kernel. This was exposed because the watchdog timer went from 60 seconds down to 10 seconds (increasing the ability to reproduce this problem). What is happening is on boot up of the second kernel (the kdump one), the previous nmi_watchdogs were enabled on thread 0 and thread 1. The second kernel only initializes one cpu but the perf counter on thread 1 still counts. Normally in a kdump scenario, the other cpus are blocking in an NMI loop, but more importantly their local apics have the performance counters disabled (iow LVTPC is masked). So any counters that fire are masked and never get through to the second kernel. However, on a P4 the local apic is shared by both threads and thread1's PMI (despite being configured to only interrupt thread1) will generate an NMI on thread0. Because thread0 knows nothing about this NMI, it is seen as an unknown NMI. This would be fine because it is a kdump kernel, strange things happen what is the big deal about a single unknown NMI. Unfortunately, the P4 comes with another quirk: clearing the overflow bit to prevent a stream of NMIs. This is the problem. The kdump kernel can not execute because of the endless NMIs that happen. To solve this, I instrumented the p4 perf init code, to walk all the counters and zero them out (just like a normal reset would). Now when the counters go off, they do not generate anything and no unknown NMIs are seen. I tested this on a P4 we have in our lab. After two or three crashes, I could normally reproduce the problem. Now after 10 crashes, everything continues to boot correctly. Signed-off-by:

On a P4 box stressing perf with: ./perf record -o perf.data ./perf stat -v ./perf bench all it was noticed that a slew of unknown NMIs would pop out rather quickly. Painfully debugging this ancient platform, led me to notice cross cpu counter corruption. The P4 machine is special in that it has 18 counters, half are used for cpu0 and the other half is for cpu1 (or all 18 if hyperthreading is disabled). But the splitting of the counters has to be actively managed by the software. In this particular bug, one of the cpu0 specific counters was being used by cpu1 and caused all sorts of random unknown nmis. I am not entirely sure on the corruption path, but what happens is: o perf schedules a group with p4_pmu_schedule_events() o inside p4_pmu_schedule_events(), it notices an hwc pointer is being reused but for a different cpu, so it 'swaps' the config bits and returns the updated 'assign' array with a _new_ index. o perf schedules another group with p4_pmu_schedule_events() o inside p4_pmu_schedule_events(), it notices an hwc pointer is being reused (the same one as above) but for the _same_ cpu [BUG!!], so it updates the 'assign' array to use the _old_ (wrong cpu) index because the _new_ index is in an earlier part of the 'assign' array (and hasn't been committed yet). o perf commits the transaction using the wrong index and corrupts the other cpu The [BUG!!] is because the 'hwc->config' is updated but not the 'hwc->idx'. So the check for 'p4_should_swap_ts()' is correct the first time around but incorrect the second time around (because hwc->config was updated in between). I think the spirit of perf was to not modify anything until all the transactions had a chance to 'test' if they would succeed, and if so, commit atomically. However, P4 breaks this spirit by touching the hwc->config element. So my fix is to continue the un-perf like breakage, by assigning hwc->idx to -1 on swap to tell follow up group scheduling to find a new index. Of course if the transaction fails rolling this back will be difficult, but that is not different than how the current code works. :-) And I wasn't sure how much effort to cleanup the code I should do for a platform that is almost 10 years old by now. Hence the lazy fix. Signed-off-by:
