The reason for this is in the python interface, that allows a script to pass arbitrary cpu number, which is then used to access struct perf_evlist::mmap array. That's obviously wrong and works only when if all cpus are available and fails if some cpu is missing, like in the example above. This patch makes pyrf_evlist__read_on_cpu() search the evlist's maps array for the proper map to access. It's linear search at the moment. Based on the way how is the read_on_cpu used, I don't think we need to be fast in here. But we could add some hash in the middle to make it fast/er. We don't allow python interface to set write_backward event attribute, so it's safe to check only evlist's mmaps. Reported-by:

Add is_compressed callback to the compressions array, that returns 0 if the file is compressed or != 0 if not. The new callback is used to recognize the situation when we have a 'compressed' object, like: /lib/modules/.../drivers/net/ethernet/intel/igb/igb.ko.xz but we need to read its debug data from debuginfo files, which might not be compressed, like: /root/.debug/.build-id/d6/...c4b301f/debug So even for a 'compressed' object we read debug data from a plain uncompressed object. To keep this transparent, we detect this in decompress_kmodule() and return the file descriptor to the uncompressed file. Signed-off-by:

We will add a compression check in the following patch and it makes it easier if the file processing is done in a single place. It also makes the current code simpler. The decompress_kmodule function now returns the fd of the uncompressed file and the file name in the pathname arg, if it's provided. Signed-off-by:

Store a decompression ID in 'struct kmod_path', so it can be later stored in 'struct dso'. Switch 'struct kmod_path's 'comp' from 'bool' to 'int' to return the compressions array index. Add 0 index item into compressions array, so that the comp usage stays as it was: 0 - no compression, != 0 compression index. Update the kmod_path tests.

This is the second version of a patch that improves the error message of the perf events parser when the PMU hardware does not support address filters. Previously, the perf returned the following error: $ perf record -e intel_pt// --filter 'filter sys_write' --filter option should follow a -e tracepoint or HW tracer option This implies there is some syntax error present in the command line, which is not true. Rather, notify the user that the CPU does not have support for this feature. For example, Intel chips based on the Broadwell micro-archticture have the Intel PT PMU, but do not support address filtering. Now, perf prints the following error message: $ perf record -e intel_pt// --filter 'filter sys_write' This CPU does not support address filtering Signed-off-by:

The Yocto build system does a 'make clean' when rebuilding due to changed dependencies, and that consistently fails for me (causing the whole BSP build to fail) with errors such as | find: '[...]/perf/1.0-r9/perf-1.0/plugin_mac80211.so': No such file or directory | find: '[...]/perf/1.0-r9/perf-1.0/plugin_mac80211.so': No such file or directory | find: find: '[...]/perf/1.0-r9/perf-1.0/libtraceevent.a''[...]/perf/1.0-r9/perf-1.0/libtraceevent.a': No such file or directory: No such file or directory | [...] | find: cannot delete '/mnt/xfs/devel/pil/yocto/tmp-glibc/work/wandboard-oe-linux-gnueabi/perf/1.0-r9/perf-1.0/util/.pstack.o.cmd': No such file or directory Apparently (despite the comment), 'make clean' ends up launching multiple sub-makes that all want to remove the same things - perhaps this only happens in combination with a O=... parameter. In any case, we don't lose much by explicitly disabling the parallelism for the clean target, and it makes automated builds much more reliable. Signed-off-by:

Represent that by giving the corresponding program headers in kcore the same offset. This has the benefit that, when perf tools uses /proc/kcore as a source for kernel object code, samples from different CPU trampolines are aggregated together. Note, such aggregation is normal for profiling i.e. people want to profile the object code, not every different virtual address the object code might be mapped to (across different processes for example). Notes by PeterZ: This also adds the KCORE_REMAP functionality. Signed-off-by:Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Acked-by:

These options are not present in older clang versions, so when we build for a distro that has a gcc new enough to have these options and that the distro python build config settings use them but clang doesn't support, b00m. This is the case with fedora 28 and rawhide, so check if clang has the options and remove the missing ones from CFLAGS.

Pull x86 PTI updates from Thomas Gleixner: "The Speck brigade sadly provides yet another large set of patches destroying the perfomance which we carefully built and preserved - PTI support for 32bit PAE. The missing counter part to the 64bit PTI code implemented by Joerg. - A set of fixes for the Global Bit mechanics for non PCID CPUs which were setting the Global Bit too widely and therefore possibly exposing interesting memory needlessly. - Protection against userspace-userspace SpectreRSB - Support for the upcoming Enhanced IBRS mode, which is preferred over IBRS. Unfortunately we dont know the performance impact of this, but it's expected to be less horrible than the IBRS hammering. - Cleanups and simplifications" * 'x86/pti' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (60 commits) x86/mm/pti: Move user W+X check into pti_finalize() x86/relocs: Add __end_rodata_aligned to S_REL x86/mm/pti: Clone kernel-image on PTE level for 32 bit x86/mm/pti: Don't clear permissions in pti_clone_pmd() x86/mm/pti: Fix 32 bit PCID check x86/mm/init: Remove freed kernel image areas from alias mapping x86/mm/init: Add helper for freeing kernel image pages x86/mm/init: Pass unconverted symbol addresses to free_init_pages() mm: Allow non-direct-map arguments to free_reserved_area() x86/mm/pti: Clear Global bit more aggressively x86/speculation: Support Enhanced IBRS on future CPUs x86/speculation: Protect against userspace-userspace spectreRSB x86/kexec: Allocate 8k PGDs for PTI Revert "perf/core: Make sure the ring-buffer is mapped in all page-tables" x86/mm: Remove in_nmi() warning from vmalloc_fault() x86/entry/32: Check for VM86 mode in slow-path check perf/core: Make sure the ring-buffer is mapped in all page-tables x86/pti: Check the return value of pti_user_pagetable_walk_pmd() x86/pti: Check the return value of pti_user_pagetable_walk_p4d() x86/entry/32: Add debug code to check entry/exit CR3 ... -

Pull x86 cache QoS (RDT/CAR) updates from Thomas Gleixner: "Add support for pseudo-locked cache regions. Cache Allocation Technology (CAT) allows on certain CPUs to isolate a region of cache and 'lock' it. Cache pseudo-locking builds on the fact that a CPU can still read and write data pre-allocated outside its current allocated area on cache hit. With cache pseudo-locking data can be preloaded into a reserved portion of cache that no application can fill, and from that point on will only serve cache hits. The cache pseudo-locked memory is made accessible to user space where an application can map it into its virtual address space and thus have a region of memory with reduced average read latency. The locking is not perfect and gets totally screwed by WBINDV and similar mechanisms, but it provides a reasonable enhancement for certain types of latency sensitive applications. The implementation extends the current CAT mechanism and provides a generally useful exclusive CAT mode on which it builds the extra pseude-locked regions" * 'x86-cache-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (45 commits) x86/intel_rdt: Disable PMU access x86/intel_rdt: Fix possible circular lock dependency x86/intel_rdt: Make CPU information accessible for pseudo-locked regions x86/intel_rdt: Support restoration of subset of permissions x86/intel_rdt: Fix cleanup of plr structure on error x86/intel_rdt: Move pseudo_lock_region_clear() x86/intel_rdt: Limit C-states dynamically when pseudo-locking active x86/intel_rdt: Support L3 cache performance event of Broadwell x86/intel_rdt: More precise L2 hit/miss measurements x86/intel_rdt: Create character device exposing pseudo-locked region x86/intel_rdt: Create debugfs files for pseudo-locking testing x86/intel_rdt: Create resctrl debug area x86/intel_rdt: Ensure RDT cleanup on exit x86/intel_rdt: Resctrl files reflect pseudo-locked information x86/intel_rdt: Support creation/removal of pseudo-locked region x86/intel_rdt: Pseudo-lock region creation/removal core x86/intel_rdt: Discover supported platforms via prefetch disable bits x86/intel_rdt: Add utilities to test pseudo-locked region possibility x86/intel_rdt: Split resource group removal in two x86/intel_rdt: Enable entering of pseudo-locksetup mode ...
