Show the branch speculation info if provided by the branch recording hardware feature. This can be useful for optimizing code further. The speculation info is appended to the end of the list of fields so any existing tools that use "/" as a delimiter for access fields via an index remain unaffected. Also show "-" instead of "N/A" when speculation info is unavailable because "/" is used as the field separator. E.g. $ perf record -j any,u,save_type ./test_branch $ perf script --fields brstacksym Before: [...] check_match+0x60/strcmp+0x0/P/-/-/0/CALL do_lookup_x+0x3c5/check_match+0x0/P/-/-/0/CALL [...] After: [...] check_match+0x60/strcmp+0x0/P/-/-/0/CALL/NON_SPEC_CORRECT_PATH do_lookup_x+0x3c5/check_match+0x0/P/-/-/0/CALL/NON_SPEC_CORRECT_PATH [...] The bitfield swapping scheme used duing sample parsing has changed because of the addition of new branch flags, namely "spec", "new_type" and "priv". Earlier, these were all part of the "reserved" field but now, each of these fields get swapped separately. Change the expected flag values accordingly for the test to pass. E.g. $ perf test -v 27 Before: 27: Sample parsing : --- start --- test child forked, pid 61979 parsing failed for sample_type 0x800 test child finished with -1 ---- end ---- Sample parsing: FAILED! After: 27: Sample parsing : --- start --- test child forked, pid 63293 test child finished with 0 ---- end ---- Sample parsing: Ok Signed-off-by:

In the current code, there is only a basic syscall benchmark via getppid, this is not enough. Introduce bench_syscall_common() so that we can add more syscalls to benchmark. This is preparation for later patch, no functionality change. Signed-off-by:

As detailed in https://www.shellcheck.net/wiki/SC2006: The use of `...` is legacy syntax with several issues: 1. It has a series of undefined behaviors related to quoting in POSIX. 2. It imposes a custom escaping mode with surprising results. 3. It's exceptionally hard to nest. $(...) command substitution has none of these problems, and is therefore strongly encouraged.

The current display code for perf stat iterates given cpus and build the aggr map to collect the event data for the aggregation mode. But uncore events have their own cpu maps and it won't guarantee that it'd match to the aggr map. For example, per-package uncore events would generate a single value for each socket. When user asks per-core aggregation mode, the output would contain 0 values for other cores. Thus it needs to check the uncore PMU's cpumask and if it matches to the current aggregation id. Before: $ sudo ./perf stat -a --per-core -e power/energy-pkg/ sleep 1 Performance counter stats for 'system wide': S0-D0-C0 1 3.73 Joules power/energy-pkg/ S0-D0-C1 0 <not counted> Joules power/energy-pkg/ S0-D0-C2 0 <not counted> Joules power/energy-pkg/ S0-D0-C3 0 <not counted> Joules power/energy-pkg/ 1.001404046 seconds time elapsed Some events weren't counted. Try disabling the NMI watchdog: echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog perf stat ... echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog The core 1, 2 and 3 should not be printed because the event is handled in a cpu in the core 0 only. With this change, the output becomes like below.

The -S/--callstack-filter is to limit display entries having the given string in the callstack (not only in the caller in the output). The following example shows lock contention results if the callstack has 'net' substring somewhere. Note that the caller '__dev_queue_xmit' does not match to it, but it has 'inet6_csk_xmit' in the callstack. This applies even if you don't use -v option to show the full callstack. $ sudo ./perf lock con -abv -S net sleep 1 ... contended total wait max wait avg wait type caller 5 70.20 us 16.13 us 14.04 us spinlock __dev_queue_xmit+0xb6d 0xffffffffa5dd1c60 _raw_spin_lock+0x30 0xffffffffa5b8f6ed __dev_queue_xmit+0xb6d 0xffffffffa5cd8267 ip6_finish_output2+0x2c7 0xffffffffa5cdac14 ip6_finish_output+0x1d4 0xffffffffa5cdb477 ip6_xmit+0x457 0xffffffffa5d1fd17 inet6_csk_xmit+0xd7 0xffffffffa5c5f4aa __tcp_transmit_skb+0x54a 0xffffffffa5c6467d tcp_keepalive_timer+0x2fd Signed-off-by: -

There's no field for the cgroup, let's add one. To do that, users need to specify --all-cgroup option for perf record to capture the cgroup info. $ perf record --all-cgroups -- true $ perf script -F comm,pid,cgroup true 337112 /user.slice/user-657345.slice/user@657345.service/... true 337112 /user.slice/user-657345.slice/user@657345.service/... true 337112 /user.slice/user-657345.slice/user@657345.service/... true 337112 /user.slice/user-657345.slice/user@657345.service/... If it's recorded without the --all-cgroups, it'd complain. $ perf script -F comm,pid,cgroup Samples for 'cycles:u' event do not have CGROUP attribute set. Cannot print 'cgroup' field.

The canonical location for the tracefs filesystem is at /sys/kernel/tracing. But, from Documentation/trace/ftrace.rst: Before 4.1, all ftrace tracing control files were within the debugfs file system, which is typically located at /sys/kernel/debug/tracing. For backward compatibility, when mounting the debugfs file system, the tracefs file system will be automatically mounted at: /sys/kernel/debug/tracing A few spots in the perf docs still refer to this older debugfs path, so let's update them to avoid confusion.

Unknown address packet indexes are not an error as the Arm architecture can (and has with SPEv1.2) define new ones and implementation defined ones are also allowed. The error message for every occurrence of the packet is needlessly noisy as well. Change the message to print just once for each unknown index. Reviewed-by:

This problem was encountered on an arm64 system with a lot of memory. Without kernel debug symbols installed, and with both kcore and kallsyms available, perf managed to get confused and returned "unknown" for all of the kernel symbols that it tried to look up. On this system, stext fell within the vmalloc segment. The kcore symbol matching code tries to find the first segment that contains stext and uses that to replace the segment generated from just the kallsyms information. In this case, however, there were two: a very large vmalloc segment, and the text segment. This caused perf to get confused because multiple overlapping segments were inserted into the RB tree that holds the discovered segments. However, that alone wasn't sufficient to cause the problem. Even when we could find the segment, the offsets were adjusted in such a way that the newly generated symbols didn't line up with the instruction addresses in the trace. The most obvious solution would be to consult which segment type is text from kcore, but this information is not exposed to users. Instead, select the smallest matching segment that contains stext instead of the first matching segment. This allows us to match the text segment instead of vmalloc, if one is contained within the other. Reviewed-by:

While parsing the tracepoint events in parse_events_add_tracepoint() function, code checks for HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT support. This is needed since libtraceevent is necessary for tracepoint. But while adding probe points, check for LIBTRACEEVENT is not done in case of perf probe. Hence, in environment with missing libtraceevent-devel, it is observed that adding a probe point shows below message though it can't be used via perf record. Example: Adding probe point: ./perf probe 'vfs_getname=getname_flags:72 pathname=result->name:string' Added new event: probe:vfs_getname (on getname_flags:72 with pathname=result->name:string) You can now use it in all perf tools, such as: perf record -e probe:vfs_getname -aR sleep 1 But trying perf record: ./perf record -e probe:vfs_getname -aR sleep 1 event syntax error: 'probe:vfs_getname' \___ unsupported tracepoint libtraceevent is necessary for tracepoint support Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events The builtin tool like perf record needs libtraceevent to parse tracefs. But still the probe can be used by enabling via tracefs. Patch fixes the probe usage message to the user based on presence of libtraceevent. With the fix, # ./perf probe 'pmu:myprobe=schedule' Added new event: pmu:myprobe (on schedule) perf is not linked with libtraceevent, to use the new probe you can use tracefs: cd /sys/kernel/tracing/ echo 1 > events/pmu/myprobe/enable echo 1 > tracing_on cat trace_pipe Before removing the probe, echo 0 > events/pmu/myprobe/enable Signed-off-by:

For x86_64, determine a symbol for .plt.got entries. That requires computing the target offset and finding that in .rela.dyn, which in turn means .rela.dyn needs to be sorted by offset.

For x86, .plt.got is used, for example, when the address is taken of a dynamically linked function. Start adding support by synthesizing a symbol for each entry.

A statically linked executable can have a .plt due to IFUNCs, in which case .symtab is used not .dynsym. Check the section header link to see if that is the case, and then use symtab instead. Example: Before: $ cat tstifunc.c #include <stdio.h> void thing1(void) { printf("thing1\n"); } void thing2(void) { printf("thing2\n"); } typedef void (*thing_fn_t)(void); thing_fn_t thing_ifunc(void) { int x; if (x & 1) return thing2; return thing1; } void thing(void) __attribute__ ((ifunc ("thing_ifunc"))); int main() { thing(); return 0; } $ gcc --version gcc (Ubuntu 11.3.0-1ubuntu1~22.04) 11.3.0 Copyright (C) 2021 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

A static executable can have a .plt due to the presence of IFUNCs. In that case the .plt does not have a header. Check for whether there is a header by comparing the number of entries to the number of relocation entries. Reviewed-by:

For x86_64, the GNU linker is putting IFUNC information in the relocation addend, so use it to try to find a symbol for plt entries that refer to IFUNCs.

The section .plt.sec was originally added for MPX and was first called .plt.bnd. While MPX has been deprecated, .plt.sec is now also used for IBT. On x86_64, IBT may be enabled by default, but can be switched off using gcc option -fcf-protection=none, or switched on by -z ibt or -z ibtplt. On 32-bit, option -z ibt or -z ibtplt will enable IBT. With .plt.sec, calls are made into .plt.sec instead of .plt, so it makes more sense to put the symbols there instead of .plt. A notable difference is that .plt.sec does not have a header entry. For x86, when synthesizing symbols for plt, use offset and entry size of .plt.sec instead of .plt when there is a .plt.sec section.

In 32-bit executables the .plt entry size can be set to 4 when it is really 16. In fact the only sizes used for x86 (32 or 64 bit) are 8 or 16, so check for those and, if not, use the alignment to choose which it is.

Test “Use vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames” fails in environment with missing libtraceevent support as below: 82: Use vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames : --- start --- test child forked, pid 304726 Recording open file: event syntax error: 'probe:vfs_getname*' \___ unsupported tracepoint libtraceevent is necessary for tracepoint support Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events Usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>] or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>] -e, --event <event> event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events test child finished with -1 ---- end ---- Use vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames: FAILED! The environment has debuginfo but is missing the libtraceevent devel. Hence perf is compiled without libtraceevent support. The test tries to add probe “probe:vfs_getname” and then uses it with “perf record”. This fails at function “parse_events_add_tracepoint" due to missing libtraceevent. Similarly "probe libc's inet_pton & backtrace it with ping" test slso fails with same reason. Add a function in 'perf test shell' library to check if perf record with —dry-run reports any error on missing support for libtraceevent. Update both the tests to use this new function “skip_no_probe_record_support” before proceeding With using probe point via perf builtin record.

The "probe libc's inet_pton & backtrace it with ping" test installs a uprobe and uses perf record/script to check the backtrace. Currently even if the "perf record" fails, the test reports success.

OpenCSD version 1.4 is released with support for FEAT_ITE. This adds a new packet type, with associated output element ID in the packet type enum - OCSD_GEN_TRC_ELEM_INSTRUMENTATION. As we just ignore this packet in perf, add to the switch statement to avoid the "enum not handled in switch error", but conditionally so as not to break the perf build for older OpenCSD installations.

build_id__init() only copies the buildid data up to size leaving the rest of the data array uninitialized. Copying the full array during synthesis means the written event contains uninitialized memory. Ensure the size is less that the buffer size and only copy the bytes that were initialized. This was detected by the Clang/LLVM memory sanitizer. v2. Avoids the potential for copying too much as suggested by Arnaldo. Suggested-by:

Make the sink error message more similar to the event error message that reminds about missing kernel support. The available sinks are also determined by the hardware so mention that too. Also, usually it's not necessary to specify the sink, so add that as a hint. Now the error for a made up sink looks like this: $ perf record -e cs_etm/@abc/ Couldn't find sink "abc" on event cs_etm/@abc/. Missing kernel or device support? Hint: An appropriate sink will be picked automatically if one isn't is specified. For any error other than ENOENT, the same message as before is displayed. Signed-off-by:

The statement above about the result being incorrect looks weird, and it is due to that particular perf build missing commit 3e11300c ("perf test: Fix bpf test sample mismatch reporting"). In reality, due to commit 4b04e0de ("perf test: Fix basic bpf filtering test"), perf expects there to be 56*3 samples. However, the number of samples we receive is going to be dependent on where the probes are installed, which is dependent on where do_epoll_wait gets inlined. On s390x, it looks like probes at all the inlined locations are hit. But, that is not the case on ppc64le. Fix this by switching the test to instead use the syscall tracepoint. This ensures that we will only ever install a single event enabling us to reliably determine the sample count. Reported-by:
