      perf tools: Deal with kernel module names in '[]' correctly · 1f121b03
      Wang Nan authored 
      Before patch ba92732e ('perf kmaps: Check kmaps to make code more
robust'), 'perf report' and 'perf annotate' will segfault if trace data
contains kernel module information like this:

 # perf report -D -i ./perf.data
 ...
 0 0 0x188 [0x50]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP -1/0: [0xffffffbff1018000(0xf068000) @ 0]: x [test_module]
 ...

 # perf report -i ./perf.data --objdump=/path/to/objdump --kallsyms=/path/to/kallsyms

 perf: Segmentation fault

 /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf4)[0x7fb201f23bd4]
 /path/to/perf[0x42dfc4]

This is because __kmod_path__parse treats '[' leading names as kernel
name instead of names of kernel module.

If perf.data contains build information and the buildid of such modules
can be found, the dso->kernel of it will be set to DSO_TYPE_KERNEL by
__event_process_build_id(), not kernel module.

It will then be passed to dso__load() -> dso__load_kernel_sym() ->
dso__load_kcore() if --kallsyms is provided.

The refered patch adds NULL pointer checker to avoid segfault. However,
such kernel modules are still processed incorrectly.

This patch fixes __kmod_path__parse, makes it treat names like
'[test_module]' as kernel modules.

kmod-path.c is also update to reflect the above changes.

      perf probe: Fix segfault when glob matching function without debuginfo · 6bb536cc
      Wang Nan authored 
      Commit 4c859351 ("perf probe: Support
glob wildcards for function name") introduces segfault problems when
debuginfo is not available:

 # perf probe 'sys_w*'
  Added new events:
  Segmentation fault

The first problem resides in find_probe_trace_events_from_map(). In
that function, find_probe_functions() is called to match each symbol
against glob to find the number of matching functions, but still use
map__for_each_symbol_by_name() to find 'struct symbol' for matching
functions. Unfortunately, map__for_each_symbol_by_name() does
exact matching by searching in an rbtree.

It doesn't know glob matching, and not easy for it to support it because
it use rbtree based binary search, but we are unable to ensure all names
matched by the glob (any glob passed by user) reside in one subtree.

This patch drops map__for_each_symbol_by_name(). Since there is no
rbtree again, re-matching all symbols costs a lot. This patch avoid it
by saving all matching results into an array (syms).

The second problem is the lost of tp->realname. In
__add_probe_trace_events(), if pev->point.function is glob, the event
name should be set to tev->point.realname. This patch ensures its
existence by strdup sym->name instead of leaving a NULL pointer there.

After this patch:

 # perf probe 'sys_w*'
 Added new events:
   probe:sys_waitid     (on sys_w*)
   probe:sys_wait4      (on sys_w*)
   probe:sys_waitpid    (on sys_w*)
   probe:sys_write      (on sys_w*)
   probe:sys_writev     (on sys_w*)

 You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

         perf record -e probe:sys_writev -aR sleep 1

  Try again after reducing the number of events.

Now:

      perf tools: Reference count struct map · 84c2cafa
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored 
      We have pointers to struct map instances in several places, like in the
hist_entry instances, so we need a way to know when we can destroy them,
otherwise we may either keep leaking them or end up referencing deleted
instances.

Start fixing it by reference counting them.

This patch puts the reference count for struct map in place, replacing
direct map__delete() calls with map__put() ones and then grabbing a
reference count when adding it to the maps struct where maps for a
struct thread are kept.

Next we'll grab reference counts when setting pointers to struct map
instances, in places like in the hist_entry code.

      That for now has the maps rbtree and the list for the dead maps, that
may be still referenced from some hist_entry, etc.

This paves the way for protecting the rbtree with a lock, then refcount
the maps and finally remove the removed_maps list, as it'll not ne
anymore needed.

      perf probe: Fix an error when deleting probes successfully · dddc7ee3
      Masami Hiramatsu authored 
      Fix a bug in del_perf_probe_events() which returns an error (-ENOENT)
even if the probes are successfully deleted.

This happens only if the probes are on user-apps and not on kernel,
simply because it doesn't clear the previous error.

So, without this fix, we get an error even though events are being
successfully removed.

  ------
  # ./perf probe -x ./perf del_perf_probe_events
  Added new event:
    probe_perf:del_perf_probe_events (on del_perf_probe_events in ...

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

          perf record -e probe_perf:del_perf_probe_events -aR sleep 1

  # ./perf probe -d \*:\*

    Error: Failed to delete events.

By default any PMU is selectable as an event but until the tools have

After the change:

      perf sched: Add option to merge like comms to lat output · 2f80dd44
      Josef Bacik authored 
      Sometimes when debugging large multi-threaded applications it is helpful
to collate all of the latency numbers into one bulk record to get an
idea of what is going on.

This patch does this by merging any entries that belong to the same comm
into one entry and then spits out those totals.

I've also slightly changed the output so you can see how many threads
were merged in the processing.  Here is the new default output format
