      perf tools: Fix compilation on powerpc · ee3d2504
      Paul Mackerras authored
      Currently, perf fails to compile on powerpc with this error:
      
           CC util/header.o
       In file included from util/../perf.h:17,
                        from util/header.c:9:
       util/../../../arch/powerpc/include/asm/unistd.h:360:27: error:
       linux/linkage.h: No such file or directory make: ***
       [util/header.o] Error 1
      
      The reason is that we still have a #define __KERNEL__ in effect
      at the point where <asm/unistd.h> gets included, which means we
      get extra stuff that we don't need or want.
      
      This fixes the problem by undefining __KERNEL__ once we have
      included the file for which we need __KERNEL__ defined.

      perf symbols: Look for vmlinux in more places · cc612d81
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      Now that we can check the buildid to see if it really matches,
      this can be done safely:
      
        vmlinux
        /boot/vmlinux
        /boot/vmlinux-<uts.release>
        /lib/modules/<uts.release>/build/vmlinux
        /usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/%s/vmlinux
      
      More can be added - if you know about distros that put the
      vmlinux somewhere else please let us know.

      perf tools: Add support for breakpoint events in perf tools · 1b290d67
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      Add the breakpoint events support with this new sysnopsis:
      
        mem:addr[:access]
      
      Where addr is a raw addr value in the kernel and access can be
      either [r][w][x]
      
      Example to profile tasklist_lock:
      
      	$ grep tasklist_lock /proc/kallsyms
      	ffffffff8189c000 D tasklist_lock
      
      	$ perf record -e mem:0xffffffff8189c000:rw -a -f -c 1
      	$ perf report
      
      	# Samples: 62
      	#
      	# Overhead          Command  Shared Object  Symbol
      	# ........  ...............  .............  ......
      	#
      	    29.03%          swapper  [kernel]       [k] _raw_read_trylock
      	    29.03%          swapper  [kernel]       [k] _raw_read_unlock
      	    19.35%             init  [kernel]       [k] _raw_read_trylock
      	    19.35%             init  [kernel]       [k] _raw_read_unlock
      	     1.61%         events/0  [kernel]       [k] _raw_read_trylock
      	     1.61%         events/0  [kernel]       [k] _raw_read_unlock
      
      Coming soon:
      
       - Support for symbols in the event definition.
      
       - Default period to 1 for breakpoint events because these are
         not high frequency events. The same thing is needed for trace
         events.

      perf: Add kernel side syscall events support for breakpoints · f5ffe02e
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      Add the remaining necessary bits to support breakpoints created
      through perf syscall.
      
      We don't use the software counter interface as:
      
      - We don't need to check against recursion, this is already done
        in hardware breakpoints arch level.
      
      - We already know the perf event we are dealing with when the
        event is to be committed.

      hw-breakpoints: Check the breakpoint params from perf tools · fdf6bc95
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      Perf tools create perf events as disabled in the beginning.
      Breakpoints are then considered like ptrace temporary
      breakpoints, only meant to reserve a breakpoint slot until we
      get all the necessary informations from the user.
      
      In this case, we don't check the address that is breakpointed as
      it is NULL in the ptrace case.
      
      But perf tools don't have the same purpose, events are created
      disabled to wait for all events to be created before enabling
      all of them. We want to check the breakpoint parameters in this
      case.

      perf_events: Restore sanity to scaling land · acd1d7c1
      Peter Zijlstra authored
      It is quite possible to call update_event_times() on a context
      that isn't actually running and thereby confuse the thing.
      
      perf stat was reporting !100% scale values for software counters
      (2e2af50b perf_events: Disable events when we detach them,
      solved the worst of that, but there was still some left).
      
      The thing that happens is that because we are not self-reaping
      (we have a caring parent) there is a time between the last
      schedule (out) and having do_exit() called which will detach the
      events.
      
      This period would be accounted as enabled,!running because the
      event->state==INACTIVE, even though !event->ctx->is_active.
      
      Similar issues could have been observed by calling read() on a
      event while the attached task was not scheduled in.
      
      Solve this by teaching update_event_times() about
      ctx->is_active.

      perf_events: Update the context time on exit · 5e942bb3
      Peter Zijlstra authored
      It appeared we did call update_event_times() on exit, but we
      failed to update the context time, which renders the former
      moot.
      
      Locking is a bit iffy, we call update_event_times under
      ctx->mutex instead of ctx->lock - the next patch fixes this.

      None of the callees depends on the structure being pre-initialized,
      so only initialize ->addr. This gets rid of the memcpy overhead.

      perf_event: Remove redundant zero fill · 96b02d78
      Márton Németh authored
      The buffer is first zeroed out by memset(). Then strncpy() is
      used to fill the content. The strncpy() function also pads the
      string till the end of the specified length, which is redundant.
      The strncpy() does not ensures that the string will be properly
      closed with 0. Use strlcpy() instead.
      
      The semantic match that finds this kind of pattern is as
      follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

      hw-breakpoints: Separate the kernel part from breakpoint headers · 5093ebad
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      So that we can include this header from userspace tools, like
      perf tools, to get the breakpoint types and len definitions.

      tracing: Forget about the NMI buffer for syscall events · 28889bf9

      We are never in an NMI context when we commit a syscall trace to
      perf. So just forget about the nmi buffer there.

      tracing: Use the perf recursion protection from trace event · ce71b9df
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      When we commit a trace to perf, we first check if we are
      recursing in the same buffer so that we don't mess-up the buffer
      with a recursing trace. But later on, we do the same check from
      perf to avoid commit recursion. The recursion check is desired
      early before we touch the buffer but we want to do this check
      only once.
      
      Then export the recursion protection from perf and use it from
      the trace events before submitting a trace.
