      x86, mpx: Fix potential performance issue on unmaps · c922228e
      Dave Hansen authored 
      The 3.19 merge window saw some TLB modifications merged which caused a
performance regression. They were fixed in commit 045bbb9fa.

Once that fix was applied, I also noticed that there was a small
but intermittent regression still present.  It was not present
consistently enough to bisect reliably, but I'm fairly confident
that it came from (my own) MPX patches.  The source was reading
a relatively unused field in the mm_struct via arch_unmap.

I also noted that this code was in the main instruction flow of
do_munmap() and probably had more icache impact than we want.

This patch does two things:
1. Adds a static (via Kconfig) and dynamic (via cpuid) check
   for MPX with cpu_feature_enabled().  This keeps us from
   reading that cacheline in the mm and trades it for a check
   of the global CPUID variables at least on CPUs without MPX.
2. Adds an unlikely() to ensure that the MPX call ends up out
   of the main instruction flow in do_munmap().  I've added
   a detailed comment about why this was done and why we want
   it even on systems where MPX is present.

      x86, mpx: Explicitly disable 32-bit MPX support on 64-bit kernels · 814564a0
      Dave Hansen authored 
      We had originally planned on submitting MPX support in one patch
set.  We eventually broke it up in to two pieces for easier
review.  One of the features that didn't make the first round
was supporting 32-bit binaries on 64-bit kernels.

Once we split the set up, we never added code to restrict 32-bit
binaries from _using_ MPX on 64-bit kernels.

The 32-bit bounds tables are a different format than the 64-bit
ones.  Without this patch, the kernel will try to read a 32-bit
binary's tables as if they were the 64-bit version.  They will
likely be noticed as being invalid rather quickly and the app
will get killed, but that's kinda mean.

This patch adds an explicit check, and will make a 64-bit kernel
essentially behave as if it has no MPX support when called from
a 32-bit binary.

      perf tools: Fix segfault for symbol annotation on TUI · 813ccd15
      Namhyung Kim authored 
      Currently the symbol structure is allocated with symbol_conf.priv_size
to carry sideband information like annotation, map browser on TUI and
sort-by-name tree node.  So retrieving these information from symbol
needs to care about the details of such placement.

However the annotation code just assumes that the symbol is placed after
the struct annotation.  But actually there's other info between them.
So accessing those struct will lead to an undefined behavior (usually a
crash) after they write their info to the same location.

To reproduce the problem, please follow the steps below:

  1. run perf report (TUI of course) with -v option
  2. open map browser (by pressing right arrow key for any entry)
  3. search any function (by pressing '/' key and input whatever..)
  4. return to the hist browser (by pressing 'q' or left arrow key)
  5. open annotation window for the same entry (by pressing 'a' key)

      perf test: Fix dwarf unwind using libunwind. · b93b0967
      Wang Nan authored 
      Perf tool fails to unwind user stack if the event raises in a shared
object. This patch improves tests/dwarf-unwind.c to demonstrate the
problem by utilizing commonly used glibc function "bsearch". If perf is
not statically linked, the testcase will try to unwind a mixed call
trace.

By debugging libunwind I found that there is a bug in unwind-libunwind:
it always passes 0 as segbase to libunwind, cause libunwind unable to
locate debug_frame entry fir first level ip address (I add some more
debugging output into libunwind to make things clear):

               >_Uarm_dwarf_find_debug_frame: start_ip = 10be98, end_ip = 10c2a4
               >_Uarm_dwarf_find_debug_frame: found debug_frame table `/lib/libc-2.18.so': segbase=0x0, len=7, gp=0x0, table_data=0x449388
               >_Uarm_dwarf_search_unwind_table: call lookup:ip = b6cd3bcc, segbase = 0, rel_ip = b6cd3bcc
               >lookup: e->start_ip_offset = bcf18 (rel_ip = b6cd3bcc)
               >lookup: e->start_ip_offset = 6d314 (rel_ip = b6cd3bcc)
               >lookup: e->start_ip_offset = 33d0c (rel_ip = b6cd3bcc)
                ...
               >lookup: e->start_ip_offset = 15d0c (rel_ip = b6cd3bcc)
               >lookup: e->start_ip_offset = 15c40 (rel_ip = b6cd3bcc)
 >_Uarm_dwarf_search_unwind_table: IP b6cd3bcc inside range b6c12000-b6d4c000, but no explicit unwind info found
                >put_rs_cache: unmasking signals/interrupts and releasing lock
               >_Uarm_dwarf_step: returning -10
 >_Uarm_step: dwarf_step()=-10

This patch passes map->start as segbase to dwarf_find_debug_frame(), so
di will be initialized correctly.

In addition, dso and executable are different when setting segbase. This
patch first check whether the elf is executable, and pass segbase only
for shared object.
