It was using the first variation on producing a string representation for a binary flag, one that used the copy of uapi/linux/sched.h with preprocessor tricks that had to be updated everytime a new flag was introduced. Use the more recent scrape script + strarray + strarray__scnprintf_flags() combo. $ tools/perf/trace/beauty/clone.sh | head -5 static const char *clone_flags[] = { [ilog2(0x00000100) + 1] = "VM", [ilog2(0x00000200) + 1] = "FS", [ilog2(0x00000400) + 1] = "FILES", [ilog2(0x00000800) + 1] = "SIGHAND", $ Now we can move uapi/linux/sched.h from tools/include/, that is used for building perf to the scrape only directory tools/perf/trace/beauty/include.

In some cases, it was able to find a type or location info (for per-cpu variable) but cannot match because of invalid offset or missing global information. In those cases, it's meaningless to go to the outer scope and retry because there will be no additional information. Let's change the return type of find_matching_type() and bail out if it returns -1 for the cases. Signed-off-by:

When the stack protector is enabled, compiler would generate code to check stack overflow with a special value called 'stack carary' at runtime. On x86_64, GCC hard-codes the stack canary as %gs:40. While there's a definition of fixed_percpu_data in asm/processor.h, it seems that the header is not included everywhere and many places it cannot find the type info. As it's in the well-known location (at %gs:40), let's add a pseudo stack canary type to handle it specially. Signed-off-by:

There are different patterns for percpu variable access using a constant value added to the base. 2aeb: mov -0x7da0f7e0(,%rax,8),%r14 # r14 = __per_cpu_offset[cpu] 2af3: mov $0x34740,%rax # rax = address of runqueues * 2afa: add %rax,%r14 # r14 = &per_cpu(runqueues, cpu) 2bfd: cmpl $0x0,0x10(%r14) # cpu_rq(cpu)->has_blocked_load 2b03: je 0x2b36 At the first instruction, r14 has the __per_cpu_offset. And then rax has an immediate value and then added to r14 to calculate the address of a per-cpu variable. So it needs to track the immediate values and ADD instructions. Similar but a little different case is to use "this_cpu_off" instead of "__per_cpu_offset" for the current CPU. This time the variable address comes with PC-rel addressing. 89: mov $0x34740,%rax # rax = address of runqueues * 90: add %gs:0x7f015f60(%rip),%rax # 19a78 <this_cpu_off> 98: incl 0xd8c(%rax) # cpu_rq(cpu)->sched_count Signed-off-by:

This is to support per-cpu variable access often without a matching DWARF entry. For some reason, I cannot find debug info of per-cpu variables sometimes. They have more complex pattern to calculate the address of per-cpu variables like below. 2b7d: mov -0x1e0(%rbp),%rax ; rax = cpu 2b84: mov -0x7da0f7e0(,%rax,8),%rcx ; rcx = __per_cpu_offset[cpu] * 2b8c: mov 0x34870(%rcx),%rax ; *(__per_cpu_offset[cpu] + 0x34870) Let's assume the rax register has a number for a CPU at 2b7d. The next instruction is to get the per-cpu offset' for that cpu. The offset -0x7da0f7e0 is 0xffffffff825f0820 in u64 which is the address of the '__per_cpu_offset' array in my system. So it'd get the actual offset of that CPU's per-cpu region and save it to the rcx register. Then, at 2b8c, accesses using rcx can be handled same as the global variable access. To handle this case, it should check if the offset of the instruction matches to the address of '__per_cpu_offset'. Signed-off-by:

Like global variables, this per-cpu variables should be tracked correctly. Factor our get_global_var_type() to handle both global and per-cpu (for this cpu) variables in the same manner. Signed-off-by:

On x86, the kernel gets the current task using the current macro like below: #define current get_current() static __always_inline struct task_struct *get_current(void) { return this_cpu_read_stable(pcpu_hot.current_task); } So it returns the current_task field of struct pcpu_hot which is the first member. On my build, it's located at 0x32940. $ nm vmlinux | grep pcpu_hot 0000000000032940 D pcpu_hot And the current macro generates the instructions like below: mov %gs:0x32940, %rcx So the %gs segment register points to the beginning of the per-cpu region of this cpu and it points the variable with a constant. Let's update the instruction location info to have a segment register and handle %gs in kernel to look up a global variable. Pretend it as a global variable by changing the register number to DWARF_REG_PC. Signed-off-by: -

If it failed to find a variable for the location directly, it might be due to a missing variable in the source code. For example, accessing pointer variables in a chain can result in the case like below: struct foo *foo = ...; int i = foo->bar->baz; The DWARF debug information is created for each variable so it'd have one for 'foo'. But there's no variable for 'foo->bar' and then it cannot know the type of 'bar' and 'baz'. The above source code can be compiled to the follow x86 instructions: mov 0x8(%rax), %rcx mov 0x4(%rcx), %rdx <=== PMU sample mov %rdx, -4(%rbp) Let's say 'foo' is located in the %rax and it has a pointer to struct foo. But perf sample is captured in the second instruction and there is no variable or type info for the %rcx. It'd be great if compiler could generate debug info for %rcx, but we should handle it on our side. So this patch implements the logic to iterate instructions and update the type table for each location. As it already collected a list of scopes including the target instruction, we can use it to construct the type table smartly. +---------------- scope[0] subprogram | | +-------------- scope[1] lexical_block | | | | +------------ scope[2] inlined_subroutine | | | | | | +---------- scope[3] inlined_subroutine | | | | | | | | +-------- scope[4] lexical_block | | | | | | | | | | *** target instruction ... Image the target instruction has 5 scopes, each scope will have its own variables and parameters. Then it can start with the innermost scope (4). So it'd search the shortest path from the start of scope[4] to the target address and build a list of basic blocks. Then it iterates the basic blocks with the variables in the scope and update the table. If it finds a type at the target instruction, then returns it. Otherwise, it moves to the upper scope[3]. Now it'd search the shortest path from the start of scope[3] to the start of scope[4]. Then connect it to the existing basic block list. Then it'd iterate the blocks with variables for both scopes. It can repeat this until it finds a type at the target instruction or reaches to the top scope[0]. As the basic blocks contain the shortest path, it won't worry about branches and can update the table simply. The final check will be done by find_matching_type() in the next patch. Signed-off-by:

When updating instruction states, the call instruction should play a role since it changes the register states. For simplicity, mark some registers as caller-saved registers (should be arch-dependent), and invalidate them all after a function call. If the function returns something, the designated register (ret_reg) will have the type info. Signed-off-by:

When updating the instruction states, it also needs to handle global variable accesses. Same as it does for PC-relative addressing, it can look up the type by address (if it's defined in the same file), or by name after finding the symbol by address (for declarations). Signed-off-by:

Accessing global variable is common when it tracks execution later. Factor out the common code into a function for later use. It adds thread and cpumode to struct data_loc_info to find (global) symbols if needed. Also remove var_name as it's retrieved in the helper function. Signed-off-by:

The update_insn_state() function is to update the type state table after processing each instruction. For now, it handles MOV (on x86) insn to transfer type info from the source location to the target. The location can be a register or a stack slot. Check carefully when memory reference happens and fetch the type correctly. It basically ignores write to a memory since it doesn't change the type info. One exception is writes to (new) stack slots for register spilling. Signed-off-by:

As it collected basic block and variable information in each scope, it now can build a state table to find matching variable at the location. The struct type_state is to keep the type info saved in each register and stack slot. The update_var_state() updates the table when it finds variables in the current address. It expects die_collect_vars() filled a list of variables with type info and starting address. Signed-off-by:

We want to track type states as instructions are executed. Each instruction can access compound types like struct or union and load/ store its members to a different location. The die_deref_ptr_type() is to find a type of memory access with a pointer variable. If it points to a compound type like struct, the target memory is a member in the struct. The access will happen with an offset indicating which member it refers. Let's follow the DWARF info to figure out the type of the pointer target. For example, say we have the following code. struct foo { int a; int b; }; struct foo *p = malloc(sizeof(*p)); p->b = 0; The last pointer access should produce x86 asm like below: mov 0x0, 4(%rbx) And we know %rbx register has a pointer to struct foo. Then offset 4 should return the debug info of member 'b'. Also variables of compound types can be accessed directly without a pointer. The die_get_member_type() is to handle a such case.

If the --itrace option is used more than once, the options are combined, but "i" and "y" (sub-)options can be corrupted because itrace_do_parse_synth_opts() incorrectly overwrites the period type and period with default values. For example, with: --itrace=i0ns --itrace=e The processing of "--itrace=e", resets the "i" period from 0 nanoseconds to the default 100 microseconds. Fix by performing the default setting of period type and period only if "i" or "y" are present in the currently processed --itrace value.
