Coming in v3.16, trace events will be able to save bitmasks in raw format in the ring buffer and output it with the __get_bitmask() macro. In order for userspace tools to parse this, it must be able to handle the __get_bitmask() call and be able to convert the data that's in the ring buffer into a nice bitmask format. The output is similar to what the kernel uses to print bitmasks, with a comma separator every 4 bytes (8 characters). This allows for cpumasks to also be saved efficiently. The first user is the thermal:thermal_power_limit event which has the following output: thermal_power_limit: cpus=0000000f freq=1900000 cdev_state=0 power=5252 Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20140506132238.22e136d1@gandalf.local.homeSuggested-by:

The traceevent plugins allows developers to have their events print out information that is more advanced than what can be achieved by the trace event format files. As these plugins are used on the userspace side of the tracing tools, it is only logical that the tools should be able to produce different types of output for the events. The types of events still need to be defined by the plugins thus we need a way to pass information from the tool to the plugin to specify what type of information to be shown. Not only does the information need to be passed by the tool to plugin, but the plugin also requires a way to notify the tool of what options it can provide. This builds the plugin option infrastructure that is taken from trace-cmd that is used to allow plugins to produce different output based on the options specified by the tool. Signed-off-by:

Add a flag to pevent that will let the callers be able to set it and keep the system, and perhaps even normal plugins from being loaded. This is useful when plugins might hide certain information and seeing the raw events shows what may be going on. Signed-off-by:

perf tools like 'perf report' can aggregate samples by comm strings, which generally works. However, there are other potential use-cases. For example, to pair up 'calls' with 'returns' accurately (from branch events like Intel BTS) it is necessary to identify whether the process has exec'd. Although a comm event is generated when an 'exec' happens it is also generated whenever the comm string is changed on a whim (e.g. by prctl PR_SET_NAME). This patch adds a flag to the comm event to differentiate one case from the other. In order to determine whether the kernel supports the new flag, a selection bit named 'exec' is added to struct perf_event_attr. The bit does nothing but will cause perf_event_open() to fail if the bit is set on kernels that do not have it defined. Signed-off-by:

perf_event_comm() assumes that set_task_comm() is only called on exec(), and in particular that its only called on current. Neither are true, as Dave reported a WARN triggered by set_task_comm() being called on !current. Separate the exec() hook from the comm hook. Reported-by:

tmpfs is widely used but as Denys reports shmem_aops doesn't have ->readpage() and thus you can't probe a binary on this filesystem. As Hugh suggested we can use shmem_read_mapping_page() in this case, just we need to check shmem_mapping() if ->readpage == NULL. Reported-by:

copy_insn() fails with -EIO if ->readpage == NULL, but this error is not propagated unless uprobe_register() path finds ->mm which already mmaps this file. In this case (say) "perf record" does not actually install the probe, but the user can't know about this. Move this check into uprobe_register() so that this problem can be detected earlier and reported to user. Note: this is still not perfect, - copy_insn() and arch_uprobe_analyze_insn() should be called by uprobe_register() but this is not simple, we need vm_file for read_mapping_page() (although perhaps we can pass NULL), and we need ->mm for is_64bit_mm() (although this logic is broken anyway). - uprobe_register() should be called by create_trace_uprobe(), not by probe_event_enable(), so that an error can be detected at "perf probe -x" time. This also needs more changes in the core uprobe code, uprobe register/unregister interface was poorly designed from the very beginning. Reported-by:

While that mutex should guard the elements, it doesn't guard against the use-after-free that's from list_for_each_entry_rcu(). __perf_event_exit_task() can actually free the event. And because list addition/deletion is guarded by both ctx->mutex and ctx->lock, holding ctx->mutex is sufficient for reading the list, so we don't actually need the rcu list iteration.

Fix perf probe to find correct variable DIE which has location or external instance by tracking down the lexical blocks. Current die_find_variable() expects that the all variable DIEs which has DW_TAG_variable have a location. However, since recent dwarf information may have declaration variable DIEs at the entry of function (subprogram), die_find_variable() returns it. To solve this problem, it must track down the DIE tree to find a DIE which has an actual location or a reference for external instance. e.g. finding a DIE which origin is <0xdc73>; <1><11496>: Abbrev Number: 95 (DW_TAG_subprogram) <11497> DW_AT_abstract_origin: <0xdc42> <1149b> DW_AT_low_pc : 0x1850 [...] <2><114cc>: Abbrev Number: 119 (DW_TAG_variable) <- this is a declaration <114cd> DW_AT_abstract_origin: <0xdc73> <2><114d1>: Abbrev Number: 119 (DW_TAG_variable) [...] <3><115a7>: Abbrev Number: 105 (DW_TAG_lexical_block) <115a8> DW_AT_ranges : 0xaa0 <4><115ac>: Abbrev Number: 96 (DW_TAG_variable) <- this has a location <115ad> DW_AT_abstract_origin: <0xdc73> <115b1> DW_AT_location : 0x486c (location list) Signed-off-by:Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@kernel.org> Acked-by:

Fix a segfault bug by asking for variable it doesn't find. Since the convert_variable() didn't handle error code returned from convert_variable_location(), it just passed an incomplete variable field and then a segfault was occurred when formatting the field. This fixes that bug by handling success code correctly in convert_variable(). Other callers of convert_variable_location() are correctly checking the return code. This bug was introduced by following commit. But another hidden erroneous error handling has been there previously (-ENOMEM case). commit 3d918a12Signed-off-by:

Currently 'make help' message has such hint: use "make prefix=<path> <install target>" to install to a particular path like make prefix=/usr/local install install-doc But this is misleading, when I specify "prefix=/usr/local", it has got no respect at all. This is because that, "DESTDIR" is considered first. In this case, "DESTDIR" has an empty value, so "prefix" is honored. However, "prefix" is unconditionally assigned to $HOME, regardless of what it is set to from command line. So our "prefix" setting got no respect and the actual destination falls back to $HOME. This patch fixes this issue and corrects the help message. Signed-off-by:Jianyu Zhan <nasa4836@gmail.com> Acked-by:

If the perf record command is interrupted in record__mmap_read_all function, the 'done' is set and err has the latest poll return value, which is most likely positive number (= number of pollfds ready to read). This 'positive err' is then propagated to the exit code, resulting in not finishing the perf.data header properly, causing following error in report: # perf record -F 50000 -a --- make the system real busy, so there's more chance to interrupt perf in event writing code --- ^C[ perf record: Woken up 16 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 30.292 MB perf.data (~1323468 samples) ] # perf report --stdio > /dev/null WARNING: The perf.data file's data size field is 0 which is unexpected. Was the 'perf record' command properly terminated? Fixing this by checking for positive poll return value and setting err to 0. Acked-by:

After output/sort fields refactoring, it's expensive to check the elide bool in its current location inside the 'struct sort_entry'. The perf_hpp__should_skip function gets highly noticable in workloads with high number of output/sort fields, like for: $ perf report -i perf-test.data -F overhead,sample,period,comm,pid,dso,symbol,cpu --stdio Performance report: 9.70% perf [.] perf_hpp__should_skip Moving the elide bool into the 'struct perf_hpp_fmt', which makes the perf_hpp__should_skip just single struct read. Got speedup of around 22% for my test perf.data workload. The change should not harm any other workload types.
