      perf symbols: Fix handling of zero-length symbols. · 9c7b37cd
      Chris Phlipot authored 
      This change introduces a fix to symbols__find, so that it is able to
find symbols of length zero (where start == end).

The current code has the following problem:

- The current implementation of symbols__find is unable to find any symbols
  of length zero.

- The db-export framework explicitly creates zero length symbols at
  locations where no symbol currently exists.

The combination of the two above behaviors results in behavior similar
to the example below.

1. addr_location is created for a sample, but symbol is unable to be
   resolved.

2. db export creates an "unknown" symbol of length zero at that address
   and inserts it into the dso.

3. A new sample comes in at the same address, but symbol__find is unable
   to find the zero length symbol, so it is still unresolved.

4. db export sees the symbol is unresolved, and allocated a duplicate
   symbol, even though it already did this in step 2.

This behavior continues every time an address without symbol information
is seen, which causes a very large number of these symbols to be
allocated.

The effect of this fix can be observed by looking at the contents of an
exported database before/after the fix (generated with
scripts/python/export-to-postgresql.py)

Ex.
BEFORE THE CHANGE:

  example_db=# select count(*) from symbols;
   count
  --------
   900213
  (1 row)

  example_db=# select count(*) from symbols where symbols.name='unknown';
   count
  --------
   897355
  (1 row)

  example_db=# select count(*) from symbols where symbols.name!='unknown';
   count
  -------
    2858
  (1 row)

AFTER THE CHANGE:

  example_db=# select count(*) from symbols;
   count
  -------
   25217
  (1 row)

  example_db=# select count(*) from symbols where name='unknown';
   count
  -------
   22359
  (1 row)

  example_db=# select count(*) from symbols where name!='unknown';
   count
  -------
    2858

      perf tests: Add test to check backward ring buffer · ee74701e
      Wang Nan authored 
      This test checks reading from backward ring buffer.

Test result:

  # ~/perf test 'ring buffer'
  45: Test backward reading from ring buffer                   : Ok

The test case is a while loop which calls prctl(PR_SET_NAME) multiple
times.  Each prctl should issue 2 events: one PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE, one
PERF_RECORD_COMM.

The first round creates a relative large ring buffer (256 pages). It can
afford all events. Read from it and check the count of each type of
events.

The second round creates a small ring buffer (1 page) and makes it
overwritable. Check the correctness of the buffer.

      perf tools: Support reading from backward ring buffer · e24c7520
      Wang Nan authored 
      perf_evlist__mmap_read_backward() is introduced for reading backward
ring buffer. Since direction for reading such ring buffer is different
from the direction kernel writing to it, and since user need to fetch
most recent record from it, a perf_evlist__mmap_read_catchup() is
introduced to move the reading pointer to the end of the buffer.

      compiler-gcc: require gcc 4.8 for powerpc __builtin_bswap16() · 8634de6d
      Josh Poimboeuf authored 
      gcc support for __builtin_bswap16() was supposedly added for powerpc in
gcc 4.6, and was then later added for other architectures in gcc 4.8.

However, Stephen Rothwell reported that attempting to use it on powerpc
in gcc 4.6 fails with:

  lib/vsprintf.c:160:2: error: initializer element is not constant
  lib/vsprintf.c:160:2: error: (near initialization for 'decpair[0]')
  lib/vsprintf.c:160:2: error: initializer element is not constant
  lib/vsprintf.c:160:2: error: (near initialization for 'decpair[1]')
  ...

I'm not entirely sure what those errors mean, but I don't see them on
gcc 4.8.  So let's consider gcc 4.8 to be the official starting point
for __builtin_bswap16().

Arnd Bergmann adds:
 "I found the commit in gcc-4.8 that replaced the powerpc-specific
  implementation of __builtin_bswap16 with an architecture-independent
  one.  Apparently the powerpc version (gcc-4.6 and 4.7) just mapped to
  the lhbrx/sthbrx instructions, so it ended up not being a constant,
  though the intent of the patch was mainly to add support for the
  builtin to x86:

    https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=52624

  has the patch that went into gcc-4.8 and more information."

      Andi Kleen authored 
      Scale values by unit before passing them to the metrics printing
functions.  This is needed for TopDown, because it needs to scale the
slots correctly by pipeline width / SMTness.

For existing metrics it shouldn't make any difference, as those
generally use events that don't have any units.

net/mlx5e: Kconfig fixes for VxLAN

Reposting to net the build errors fixes posted by Arnd last week.

Originally Arnd posted those fixes to net-next, while the issue
is also seen in net.  For net-next a different approach is required
for fixing the issue as VXLAN and Device Drivers are no longer
dependent, but there is no harm for those fixes to get into net-next.

Optionally, once net is merged into net-next we can
Revert "net/mlx5e: make VXLAN support conditional" as the
CONFIG_MLX5_CORE_EN_VXLAN will no longer be required.

      VXLAN can be disabled at compile-time or it can be a loadable
module while mlx5 is built-in, which leads to a link error:

drivers/net/built-in.o: In function `mlx5e_create_netdev':
ntb_netdev.c:(.text+0x106de4): undefined reference to `vxlan_get_rx_port'

This avoids the link error and makes the vxlan code optional,
like the other ethernet drivers do as well.
