      perf tools: No need to cache the PMUs in ARM SPE auxtrace init routine · 3e43d79d
      Wei Li authored
      - auxtrace_record__init() is called only once, so there is no point in
        using a static variable to cache the results of
        find_all_arm_spe_pmus(), make it local and free the results after use.
      
      - Another reason is, even though SPE is micro-architecture dependent,
        but so far it only supports "statistical-profiling-extension-v1" and
        we have no chance to use multiple SPE's PMU events in Perf command.
      
      So remove the useless check code to make it clear.

      perf tools: Fix record failure when mixed with ARM SPE event · 31e81e0b
      Wei Li authored
      When recording with cache-misses and arm_spe_x event, I found that it
      will just fail without showing any error info if i put cache-misses
      after 'arm_spe_x' event.
      
        [root@localhost 0620]# perf record -e cache-misses \
      				-e arm_spe_0/ts_enable=1,pct_enable=1,pa_enable=1,load_filter=1,jitter=1,store_filter=1,min_latency=0/ sleep 1
        [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
        [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.067 MB perf.data ]
        [root@localhost 0620]#
        [root@localhost 0620]# perf record -e arm_spe_0/ts_enable=1,pct_enable=1,pa_enable=1,load_filter=1,jitter=1,store_filter=1,min_latency=0/ \
      				     -e  cache-misses sleep 1
        [root@localhost 0620]#
      
      The current code can only work if the only event to be traced is an
      'arm_spe_x', or if it is the last event to be specified. Otherwise the
      last event type will be checked against all the arm_spe_pmus[i]->types,
      none will match and an out of bound 'i' index will be used in
      arm_spe_recording_init().
      
      We don't support concurrent multiple arm_spe_x events currently, that
      is checked in arm_spe_recording_options(), and it will show the relevant
      info. So add the check and record of the first found 'arm_spe_pmu' to
      fix this issue here.

      perf bench: Add basic syscall benchmark · c2a08203
      Davidlohr Bueso authored
      The usefulness of having a standard way of testing syscall performance
      has come up from time to time[0]. Furthermore, some of our testing
      machinery (such as 'mmtests') already makes use of a simplified version
      of the microbenchmark. This patch mainly takes the same idea to measure
      syscall throughput compatible with 'perf-bench' via getppid(2), yet
      without any of the additional template stuff from Ingo's version (based
      on numa.c). The code is identical to what mmtests uses.

      perf probe: Warn if the target function is a GNU indirect function · 3de2bf9d
      Masami Hiramatsu authored
      Warn if the probe target function is a GNU indirect function (GNU_IFUNC)
      because it may not be what the user wants to probe.
      
      The GNU indirect function ( https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/GNU_IFUNC )
      is the dynamic symbol solved at runtime. An IFUNC function is a selector
      which is invoked from the ELF loader, but the symbol address of the
      function which will be modified by the IFUNC is the same as the IFUNC in
      the symbol table. This can confuse users trying to probe such functions.
      
      For example, memcpy is an IFUNC.
      
        probe_libc:memcpy    (on __new_memcpy_ifunc@x86_64/multiarch/memcpy.c in /usr/lib64/libc-2.30.so)
      
      the probe is put on an IFUNC.
      
        perf  1742 [000] 26201.715632: probe_libc:memcpy: (7fdaa53824c0)
                    7fdaa53824c0 __new_memcpy_ifunc+0x0 (inlined)
                    7fdaa5d4a980 elf_machine_rela+0x6c0 (inlined)
                    7fdaa5d4a980 elf_dynamic_do_Rela+0x6c0 (inlined)
                    7fdaa5d4a980 _dl_relocate_object+0x6c0 (/usr/lib64/ld-2.30.so)
                    7fdaa5d42155 dl_main+0x1cc5 (/usr/lib64/ld-2.30.so)
                    7fdaa5d5831a _dl_sysdep_start+0x54a (/usr/lib64/ld-2.30.so)
                    7fdaa5d3ffeb _dl_start_final+0x25b (inlined)
                    7fdaa5d3ffeb _dl_start+0x25b (/usr/lib64/ld-2.30.so)
                    7fdaa5d3f117 .annobin_rtld.c+0x7 (inlined)
      
      And the event is invoked from the ELF loader instead of the target
      program's main code.
      
      Moreover, at this moment, we can not probe on the function which will
      be selected by the IFUNC, because it is determined at runtime. But
      uprobe will be prepared before running the target binary.
      
      Thus, I decided to warn user when 'perf probe' detects that the probe
      point is on an GNU IFUNC symbol. Someone who wants to probe an IFUNC
      symbol to debug the IFUNC function can ignore this warning.
      
      Committer notes:
      
      I.e., this warning will be emitted if the probe point is an IFUNC:
      
        "Warning: The probe function (%s) is a GNU indirect function.\n"
        "Consider identifying the final function used at run time and set the probe directly on that.\n"
      
      Complete set of steps:

      perf probe: Fix memory leakage when the probe point is not found · 12d572e7
      Masami Hiramatsu authored
      Fix the memory leakage in debuginfo__find_trace_events() when the probe
      point is not found in the debuginfo. If there is no probe point found in
      the debuginfo, debuginfo__find_probes() will NOT return -ENOENT, but 0.
      
      Thus the caller of debuginfo__find_probes() must check the tf.ntevs and
      release the allocated memory for the array of struct probe_trace_event.
      
      The current code releases the memory only if the debuginfo__find_probes()
      hits an error but not checks tf.ntevs. In the result, the memory allocated
      on *tevs are not released if tf.ntevs == 0.
      
      This fixes the memory leakage by checking tf.ntevs == 0 in addition to
      ret < 0.

      perf probe: Fix wrong variable warning when the probe point is not found · 11fd3eb8
      Masami Hiramatsu authored
      Fix a wrong "variable not found" warning when the probe point is not
      found in the debuginfo.
      
      Since the debuginfo__find_probes() can return 0 even if it does not find
      given probe point in the debuginfo, fill_empty_trace_arg() can be called
      with tf.ntevs == 0 and it can emit a wrong warning.  To fix this, reject
      ntevs == 0 in fill_empty_trace_arg().
      
      E.g. without this patch;
      
        # perf probe -x /lib64/libc-2.30.so -a "memcpy arg1=%di"
        Failed to find the location of the '%di' variable at this address.
         Perhaps it has been optimized out.
         Use -V with the --range option to show '%di' location range.

      You can see that perf tried to write completely the same probe
      definition twice, which caused an error.
      
      To fix this issue, check the symbol list and drop duplicated symbols
      (which has the same symbol name and address) from it.
      
      With this patch:
      
        # perf probe -x /lib64/libc-2.30.so -a "memcpy arg1=%di"
        Failed to find the location of the '%di' variable at this address.
         Perhaps it has been optimized out.
         Use -V with the --range option to show '%di' location range.
        Added new events:
          probe_libc:memcpy    (on memcpy in /usr/lib64/libc-2.30.so with arg1=%di)
          probe_libc:memcpy    (on memcpy in /usr/lib64/libc-2.30.so with arg1=%di)
      
        You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
      
        	perf record -e probe_libc:memcpy -aR sleep 1

      'perf sched' is similar in implementation and avoids the problem by
      passing additional arguments to 'perf record'.
      
      This change makes 'perf kmem' parse command line options consistently
      with 'perf sched', although neither actually list that -o is a supported
      option.

      perf parse-events: Report BPF errors · 5f634c8e
      Ian Rogers authored
      Setting the parse_events_error directly doesn't increment num_errors
      causing the error message not to be displayed. Use the
      parse_events__handle_error function that sets num_errors and handle
      multiple errors.

      perf script: Show text poke address symbol · 7eeb9855
      Adrian Hunter authored
      It is generally more useful to show the symbol with an address. In this
      case, the print function requires the 'machine' which means changing
      callers to provide it as a parameter. It is optional because most events
      do not need it and the callers that matter can provide it.
      
      Committer notes:
      
      Made 'union perf_event' continue to be the first parameter to the
      perf_event__fprintf() and perf_event__fprintf_text_poke() events.

      perf script: Add option --show-text-poke-events · 92ecf3a6
      Adrian Hunter authored
      Consistent with other new events, add an option to perf script to
      display text poke events and ksymbol events. Both text poke events and
      ksymbol events are displayed because some text pokes (e.g. ftrace
      trampolines) have corresponding ksymbol events.

      perf annotate: Fix non-null terminated buffer returned by readlink() · b39730a6
      Numfor Mbiziwo-Tiapo authored
      Our local MSAN (Memory Sanitizer) build of perf throws a warning that
      comes from the "dso__disassemble_filename" function in
      "tools/perf/util/annotate.c" when running perf record.
      
      The warning stems from the call to readlink, in which "build_id_path"
      was being read into "linkname". Since readlink does not null terminate,
      an uninitialized memory access would later occur when "linkname" is
      passed into the strstr function. This is simply fixed by
      null-terminating "linkname" after the call to readlink.
      
      To reproduce this warning, build perf by running:
      
        $ make -C tools/perf CLANG=1 CC=clang EXTRA_CFLAGS="-fsanitize=memory -fsanitize-memory-track-origins"
      
      (Additionally, llvm might have to be installed and clang might have to
      be specified as the compiler - export CC=/usr/bin/clang)
      
      Then running:
      
        tools/perf/perf record -o - ls / | tools/perf/perf --no-pager annotate -i - --stdio
      
      Please see the cover letter for why false positive warnings may be
      generated.

      perf inject jit: Remove //anon mmap events · c8f6ae1f
      Steve MacLean authored
      **perf-<pid>.map and jit-<pid>.dump designs:
      
      When a JIT generates code to be executed, it must allocate memory and
      mark it executable using an mmap call.
      
      *** perf-<pid>.map design
      
      The perf-<pid>.map assumes that any sample recorded in an anonymous
      memory page is JIT code. It then tries to resolve the symbol name by
      looking at the process' perf-<pid>.map.
      
      *** jit-<pid>.dump design
      
      The jit-<pid>.dump mechanism takes a different approach. It requires a
      JIT to write a `<path>/jit-<pid>.dump` file. This file must also be
      mmapped so that perf inject -jit can find the file. The JIT must also
      add JIT_CODE_LOAD records for any functions it generates. The records
      are timestamped using a clock which can be correlated to the perf record
      clock.
      
      After perf record,  the `perf inject -jit` pass parses the recording
      looking for a `<path>/jit-<pid>.dump` file. When it finds the file, it
      parses it and for each JIT_CODE_LOAD record:
      * creates an elf file `<path>/jitted-<pid>-<code_index>.so
      * injects a new mmap record mapping the new elf file into the process.
      
      *** Coexistence design
      
      The kernel and perf support both of these mechanisms. We need to make
      sure perf works on an app supporting either or both of these mechanisms.
      Both designs rely on mmap records to determine how to resolve an ip
      address.
      
      The mmap records of both techniques by definition overlap. When the JIT
      compiles a method, it must:
      
      * allocate memory (mmap)
      * add execution privilege (mprotect or mmap. either will
      generate an mmap event form the kernel to perf)
      * compile code into memory
      * add a function record to perf-<pid>.map and/or jit-<pid>.dump
      
      Because the jit-<pid>.dump mechanism supports greater capabilities, perf
      prefers the symbols from jit-<pid>.dump. It implements this based on
      timestamp ordering of events. There is an implicit ASSUMPTION that the
      JIT_CODE_LOAD record timestamp will be after the // anon mmap event that
      was generated during memory allocation or adding the execution privilege setting.
      
      *** Problems with the ASSUMPTION
      
      The ASSUMPTION made in the Coexistence design section above is violated
      in the following scenario.
      
      *** Scenario
      
      While a JIT is jitting code it will eventually need to commit more
      pages and change these pages to executable permissions. Typically the
      JIT will want these collocated to minimize branch displacements.
      
      The kernel will coalesce these anonymous mapping with identical
      permissions before sending an MMAP event for the new pages. The address
      range of the new mmap will not be just the most recently mmap pages.
      It will include the entire coalesced mmap region.
      
      See mm/mmap.c
      
      unsigned long mmap_region(struct file *file, unsigned long addr,
                      unsigned long len, vm_flags_t vm_flags, unsigned long pgoff,
                      struct list_head *uf)
      {
      ...
              /*
               * Can we just expand an old mapping?
               */
      ...
              perf_event_mmap(vma);
      ...
      }
      
      *** Symptoms
      
      The coalesced // anon mmap event will be timestamped after the
      JIT_CODE_LOAD records. This means it will be used as the most recent
      mapping for that entire address range. For remaining events it will look
      at the inferior perf-<pid>.map for symbols.
      
      If both mechanisms are supported, the symbol will appear twice with
      different module names. This causes weird behavior in reporting.
      
      If only jit-<pid>.dump is supported, the symbol will no longer be resolved.
      
      ** Implemented solution
      
      This patch solves the issue by removing // anon mmap events for any
      process which has a valid jit-<pid>.dump file.
      
      It tracks on a per process basis to handle the case where some running
      apps support jit-<pid>.dump, but some only support perf-<pid>.map.
      
      It adds new assumptions:
      * // anon mmap events are only required for perf-<pid>.map support.
      * An app that uses jit-<pid>.dump, no longer needs
      perf-<pid>.map support. It assumes that any perf-<pid>.map info is
      inferior.
      
      *** Details
      
      Use thread->priv to store whether a jitdump file has been processed
      
      During "perf inject --jit", discard "//anon*" mmap events for any pid which
      has sucessfully processed a jitdump file.
      
      ** Testing:
      
      // jitdump case
      
        perf record <app with jitdump>
        perf inject --jit --input perf.data --output perfjit.data
      
      // verify mmap "//anon" events present initially
      
        perf script --input perf.data --show-mmap-events | grep '//anon'
      
      // verify mmap "//anon" events removed
      
        perf script --input perfjit.data --show-mmap-events | grep '//anon'
      
      // no jitdump case
      
        perf record <app without jitdump>
        perf inject --jit --input perf.data --output perfjit.data
      
      // verify mmap "//anon" events present initially
      
        perf script --input perf.data --show-mmap-events | grep '//anon'
      
      // verify mmap "//anon" events not removed
      
        perf script --input perfjit.data --show-mmap-events | grep '//anon'
      
      ** Repro:
      
      This issue was discovered while testing the initial CoreCLR jitdump
      implementation. https://github.com/dotnet/coreclr/pull/26897.
      
      ** Alternate solutions considered
      
      These were also briefly considered:
      
      * Change kernel to not coalesce mmap regions.
      
      * Change kernel reporting of coalesced mmap regions to perf. Only
      include newly mapped memory.
      
      * Only strip parts of // anon mmap events overlapping existing
      jitted-<pid>-<code_index>.so mmap events.
