uprobes/x86: Cleanup the single-stepping code · 4dc316c6

Oleg Nesterov authored Oct 28, 2012

No functional changes.

Now that default arch_uprobe_enable/disable_step() helpers do nothing,
x86 has no reason to reimplement them. Change arch_uprobe_*_xol() hooks
to do the necessary work and remove the x86-specific hooks.

uprobes/powerpc: Do not use arch_uprobe_*_step() helpers · 65b2c8f0

Oleg Nesterov authored Oct 28, 2012

No functional changes.

powerpc is the only user of arch_uprobe_enable/disable_step() helpers,
but they should die. They can not be used correctly, every arch needs
its own implementation (like x86 does). And they do not really help
even as initial-and-almost-working code, arch_uprobe_*_xol() hooks can
easily use user_enable/disable_single_step() directly.

Change arch_uprobe_*_step() to do nothing, and convert powerpc to use
ptrace helpers. This is equally wrong, powerpc needs the arch-specific
fixes.

Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo' of... · 6ca2a9c6

Ingo Molnar authored Oct 25, 2012

Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/core

Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

 * Align the 'Ok'/'FAILED!' test results in 'perf test.

 * Support interrupted syscalls in 'trace'

 * Add an event duration column and filter in 'trace'.

 * There are references to the man pages in some tools, so try to build
   Documentation when installing, warning the user if that is not possible,
   from Borislav Petkov.

 * Give user better message if precise is not supported, from David Ahern.

 * Try to find cross-built objdump path by using the session environment
   information in the perf.data file header, from Irina Tirdea, original
   patch and idea by Namhyung Kim.

 * Diplays more output on features check for make V=1, so that one can figure
   out what is happening by looking at gcc output, etc. From Jiri Olsa.

 * Account the nr_entries in rblist properly, fix by Suzuki K. Poulose.

perf tools: Try to build Documentation when installing · af3df2cf

Borislav Petkov authored Sep 28, 2012

There's a portion in the "perf list" output refering to the exact
specification of raw hardware events.

Since this description is in the perf-list manpage, try to build and
install the man pages, warning the user when that is not possible
due to missing packages (xmlto and asciidoc).

perf trace: Print the name of a syscall when failing to read its info · 814d7a4d

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored Oct 24, 2012

When failing to read the tracepoint event format, like currently with
sys_execve, that is not defined via SYSCALL_DEFINE macros and thus
doesn't have an entry in:

For now the timestamp and duration are always on, will be selectable.

Also if multiple threads are being monitored, its tid will appear.

The ret output continues to be interpreted a la strace.

perf tools: Give user better message if precise is not supported · 2305c82f

David Ahern authored Sep 13, 2012

Platforms (e.g., VM's) without support for precise mode get a confusing
error message. e.g.,
$ perf record -e cycles:p -a -- sleep 1

  Error: sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 95 (Operation not
  supported).  /bin/dmesg may provide additional information.

  No hardware sampling interrupt available. No APIC? If so then you can
  boot the kernel with the "lapic" boot parameter to force-enable it.
  sleep: Terminated

which is not clear that precise mode might be the root problem. With this
patch:

$ perf record -e cycles:p -fo /tmp/perf.data -- sleep 1
  Error:
  'precise' request may not be supported. Try removing 'p' modifier
  sleep: Terminated
