      perf trace: Beautify sched_[gs]et_attr return value · f0bbd602
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored 
      Both return errno, show the string associated then.

More work needed to capture the sched_attr arg to beautify it in turn,
probably using BPF.

Before:

     0.210 ( 0.001 ms): sched_setattr(uattr: 0x7ffc684f02b0) = -22

After the patch, for this sched_attr, all other parms are zero, so not
shown:

        struct sched_attr attr = {
                .size           = sizeof(attr),
                .sched_policy   = SCHED_DEADLINE,
                .sched_runtime  = 10 * USECS_PER_SEC,
                .sched_period   = 30 * USECS_PER_SEC,
                .sched_deadline = attr.sched_period,
        };

     0.321 ( 0.002 ms): sched_setattr(uattr: 0x7ffc44116da0) = -1 EINVAL Invalid argument

  [root@jouet c]# perf trace -e sched_setattr ./sched_deadline
  Couldn't negotiate deadline: Invalid argument
     0.229 ( 0.003 ms): sched_setattr(uattr: 0x7ffd8dcd8df0) = -1 EINVAL Invalid argument
  [root@jouet c]#

Now to figure out the reason for this EINVAL.

      perf tools: Fix MMAP event synthesis broken by MAP_HUGETLB change · 973186ca
      Adrian Hunter authored 
      Patch "perf record: Mark MAP_HUGETLB when synthesizing mmap events") breaks
MMAP event synthesis.  The executable name comparison will match any name
if the length is zero, resulting in all the user space maps becoming
anonymous.  This is particularly noticeable with system-wide traces.
Example:

	perf record -a sleep 1
	perf script --show-mmap-events

Committer note:

That is not the case when, say, one has a qemu instance and libvirt actually
mounts hugetlbfs. To test this I had to first umount it:

[root@jouet ~]# mount | grep hugetlbfs
hugetlbfs on /dev/hugepages type hugetlbfs (rw,relatime,seclabel)
[root@jouet ~]#

After unmount it the error fixed by this patch manifests itself:

  # perf record -a sleep 1
  # perf script --show-mmap-events | grep PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 | head -5

  architectures that don't have the same mappings as x86_64 (Wang Nan)

- Resolve 'call' operands in 'annotate', that when using /proc/kcore
  were appearing just as hexadecimal addresses, to function names
  (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Fix width computation for srcline sort entry (Jiri Olsa)

- Do not ignore call instruction with indirect target in 'annotate'
  (Ravi Bangoria)

- Handle MADV_FREE in the madvise 'trace' beautifier (Wang Nan)

Infrastructure changes:

- Add infrastructure for PMU specific configuration, allowing to pass
  config variables directly to the kernel PMU driver, prefixing those
  variables with a '@', part of a larger series to support Coresight (Mathieu Poirier)

Full testing instructions:

1) Record with an event group:

2) Use report in hierarchy mode, to get a few expanded trees on

      perf annotate: Resolve 'call' operands to function names · 5f62d4fd
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored 
      Before this patch the '_raw_spin_lock_irqsave' and 'update_rq_clock' operands
were appearing just as hexadecimal numbers:

  update_blocked_averages  /proc/kcore
       │       push   %r12
       │       push   %rbx
       │       and    $0xfffffffffffffff0,%rsp
       │       sub    $0x40,%rsp
       │       add    -0x662cac00(,%rdi,8),%rax
       │       mov    %rax,%rbx
       │       mov    %rax,%rdi
       │       mov    %rax,0x38(%rsp)
       │     → callq  _raw_spin_lock_irqsave
       │       mov    %rbx,%rdi
       │       mov    %rax,0x30(%rsp)
       │     → callq  update_rq_clock
       │       mov    0x8d0(%rbx),%rax
       │       lea    0x8d0(%rbx),%r11

To check that all is right one can always use the 'o' hotkey and see
the original objdump -dS output, that for this case is:

  update_blocked_averages  /proc/kcore
       │ffffffff990d5489:   push   %r12
       │ffffffff990d548b:   push   %rbx
       │ffffffff990d548c:   and    $0xfffffffffffffff0,%rsp
       │ffffffff990d5490:   sub    $0x40,%rsp
       │ffffffff990d5494:   add    -0x662cac00(,%rdi,8),%rax
       │ffffffff990d549c:   mov    %rax,%rbx
       │ffffffff990d549f:   mov    %rax,%rdi
       │ffffffff990d54a2:   mov    %rax,0x38(%rsp)
       │ffffffff990d54a7: → callq  0xffffffff997eb7a0
       │ffffffff990d54ac:   mov    %rbx,%rdi
       │ffffffff990d54af:   mov    %rax,0x30(%rsp)
       │ffffffff990d54b4: → callq  0xffffffff990c7720
       │ffffffff990d54b9:   mov    0x8d0(%rbx),%rax
       │ffffffff990d54c0:   lea    0x8d0(%rbx),%r11

Use the 'h' hotkey to see a list of available hotkeys.

More work needed to cover operands for other instructions, such as 'mov',
that can resolve variable names, etc.

      perf annotate: Do not ignore call instruction with indirect target · 88a7fcf9
      Ravi Bangoria authored 
      Do not ignore call instruction with indirect target when its already
identified as a call. This is an extension of commit e8ea1561 ("perf
annotate: Use raw form for register indirect call instructions") to
generalize annotation for all instructions with indirect calls.

This is needed for certain powerpc call instructions that use address in
a register (such as bctrl, btarl, ...).

Apart from that, when kcore is used to disassemble function, all call
instructions were ignored. This patch will fix it as a side effect by
not ignoring them. For example,

Before (with kcore):
       mov    %r13,%rdi
       callq  0xffffffff811a7e70
     ^ jmpq   64
       mov    %gs:0x7ef41a6e(%rip),%al

After (with kcore):
       mov    %r13,%rdi
     > callq  0xffffffff811a7e70
     ^ jmpq   64
       mov    %gs:0x7ef41a6e(%rip),%al

      perf hists: Fix width computation for srcline sort entry · f666ac0d
      Jiri Olsa authored 
      Adding header size to width computation for srcline sort entry,
because it's possible to get empty data with ':0' which set width
of 2 which is lower than width needed to display column header.

      perf/x86/intel/bts: Make sure debug store is valid · f1e1c9e5
      Sebastian Andrzej Siewior authored 
      Since commit 4d4c4741 ("perf/x86/intel/bts: Fix BTS PMI detection")
my box goes boom on boot:

| .... node  #0, CPUs:      #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7
| BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000018
| IP: [<ffffffff8100c463>] intel_bts_interrupt+0x43/0x130
| Call Trace:
|  <NMI> d [<ffffffff8100b341>] intel_pmu_handle_irq+0x51/0x4b0
|  [<ffffffff81004d47>] perf_event_nmi_handler+0x27/0x40

This happens because the code introduced in this commit dereferences the
debug store pointer unconditionally. The debug store is not guaranteed to
be available, so a NULL pointer check as on other places is required.

      perf/x86/intel/pt: Add support for PTWRITE and power event tracing · 8ee83b2a
      Alexander Shishkin authored 
      The Intel PT facility grew some new functionality:

  * PTWRITE packet carries the payload of the new PTWRITE instruction
    that can be used to instrument Intel PT traces with user-supplied
    data. Packets of this type are only generated if 'ptwrite' capability
    is set and PTWEn bit is set in the event attribute's config. Flow
    update packets (FUP) can be generated on PTWRITE packets if FUPonPTW
    config bit is set. Setting these bits is not allowed if 'ptwrite'
    capability is not set.

  * PWRE, PWRX, MWAIT, EXSTOP packets communicate core power management
    events. These depend on 'power_event_tracing' capability and are
    enabled by setting PwrEvtEn bit in the event attribute.

Extend the driver capabilities and provide the proper sanity checks in the
event validation function.
