      Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/urgent

Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

Fixes:

  - libbpf error reporting improvements, using a strerror interface to
    more precisely tell the user about problems with the provided
    scriptlet, be it in C or as a ready made object file (Wang Nan)

  - Do not be case sensitive when searching for matching 'perf test'
    entries (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

  - Inform the user about objdump failures in 'perf annotate' (Andi Kleen)

Infrastructure changes:

  - Improve the LLVM 'perf test' entry, introduce a new ones for
    BPF and kbuild tests to check the environment used by clang to
    compile .c scriptlets (Wang Nan)

      perf test: Add 'perf test BPF' · ba1fae43
      Wang Nan authored 
      This patch adds BPF testcase for testing BPF event filtering.

By utilizing the result of 'perf test LLVM', this patch compiles the
eBPF sample program then test its ability. The BPF script in 'perf test
LLVM' lets only 50% samples generated by epoll_pwait() to be captured.
This patch runs that system call for 111 times, so the result should
contain 56 samples.

      perf test: Enhance the LLVM test: update basic BPF test program · b31de018
      Wang Nan authored 
      This patch replaces the original toy BPF program with the previously
introduced bpf-script-example.c. Dynamically embeddeding it into
'llvm-src-base.c'.

The newly introduced BPF program attaches a BPF program to
'sys_epoll_pwait()'. perf itself never use that syscall, so further test
can verify their result with it. The program would generate 1 sample in
every 2 calls of epoll_pwait() system call.

Since the resulting BPF object is useful per se for further tests,
test_llvm__fetch_bpf_obj() is introduced for creating BPF objects from
source. The LLVM test was rewritten to use it.

Committer note:

      perf bpf: Improve BPF related error messages · d3e0ce39
      Wang Nan authored 
      A series of bpf loader related error codes were introduced to help error
reporting. Functions were improved to return these new error codes.

Functions which return pointers were adjusted to encode error codes into
return value using the ERR_PTR() interface.

bpf_loader_strerror() was improved to convert these error messages to
strings. It checks the error codes and calls libbpf_strerror() and
strerror_r() accordingly, so caller don't need to consider checking the
range of the error code.

In bpf__strerror_load(), print kernel version of running kernel and the
object's 'version' section to notify user how to fix his/her program.

v1 -> v2:
 Use macro for error code.

 Fetch error message based on array index, eliminate for-loop.

 Print version strings.

Before:

  # perf record -e ./test_kversion_nomatch_program.o sleep 1
  event syntax error: './test_kversion_nomatch_program.o'
                       \___ Failed to load program: Validate your program and check 'license'/'version' sections in your object
  SKIP

  After:

  # perf record -e ./test_kversion_nomatch_program.o ls
  event syntax error: './test_kversion_nomatch_program.o'
                       \___ 'version' (4.4.0) doesn't match running kernel (4.3.0)

      bpf tools: Improve libbpf error reporting · 6371ca3b
      Wang Nan authored 
      In this patch, a series of libbpf specific error numbers and
libbpf_strerror() are introduced to help reporting errors.

Functions are updated to pass correct the error number through the
CHECK_ERR() macro.

All users of bpf_object__open{_buffer}() and bpf_program__title() in
perf are modified accordingly. In addition, due to the error codes
changing, bpf__strerror_load() is also modified to use them.

bpf__strerror_head() is also changed accordingly so it can parse libbpf
errors. bpf_loader_strerror() is introduced for that purpose, and will
be improved by the following patch.

load_program() is improved not to dump log buffer if it is empty. log
buffer is also used to deduce whether the error was caused by an invalid
program or other problem.

v1 -> v2:

 - Using macro for error code.

 - Fetch error message based on array index, eliminate for-loop.

 - Use log buffer to detect the reason of failure. 3 new error code
   are introduced to replace LIBBPF_ERRNO__LOAD.

In v1:

  # perf record -e ./test_ill_program.o ls
  event syntax error: './test_ill_program.o'
                       \___ Failed to load program: Validate your program and check 'license'/'version' sections in your object
  SKIP

  # perf record -e ./test_kversion_nomatch_program.o ls

                       \___ Failed to load program: Validate your program and check 'license'/'version' sections in your object
  SKIP

  # perf record -e ./test_big_program.o ls
  event syntax error: './test_big_program.o'
                       \___ Failed to load program: Validate your program and check 'license'/'version' sections in your object
  SKIP

  In v2:

  # perf record -e ./test_ill_program.o ls
  event syntax error: './test_ill_program.o'
                       \___ Kernel verifier blocks program loading
  SKIP

  # perf record -e ./test_kversion_nomatch_program.o
  event syntax error: './test_kversion_nomatch_program.o'
                       \___ Incorrect kernel version
  SKIP
  (Will be further improved by following patches)

  # perf record -e ./test_big_program.o
  event syntax error: './test_big_program.o'
                       \___ Program too big

      perf probe: Cleanup find_perf_probe_point_from_map to reduce redundancy · 0a62f686
      Masami Hiramatsu authored 
      In find_perf_probe_point_from_map(), the 'ret' variable is initialized
with -ENOENT but overwritten by the return code of
kernel_get_symbol_address_by_name(), and after that it is re-initialized
with -ENOENT again.

Setting ret=-ENOENT twice looks a bit redundant. This avoids the
overwriting and just returns -ENOENT if some error happens to simplify
the code.

      perf annotate: Inform the user about objdump failures in --stdio · 62ec9b3f
      Andi Kleen authored 
      When the browser fails to annotate it is difficult for users to find out
what went wrong.

Add some errors for objdump failures that are displayed in the UI.

Note it would be even better to handle these errors smarter, like
falling back to the binary when the debug info is somehow corrupted. But
for now just giving a better error is an improvement.

Committer note:

This works for --stdio, where errors just scroll by the screen:

  # perf annotate --stdio intel_idle
  Failure running objdump  --start-address=0xffffffff81418290 --stop-address=0xffffffff814183ae -l -d --no-show-raw -S -C /root/.debug/.build-id/28/2777c262e6b3c0451375163c9a81c893218ab1 2>/dev/null|grep -v /root/.debug/.build-id/28/2777c262e6b3c0451375163c9a81c893218ab1|expand
   Percent |      Source code & Disassembly of vmlinux for cycles:pp
  ------------------------------------------------------------------

And with that one can use that command line to try to find out more about what
happened instead of getting a blank screen, an improvement.

We need tho to improve this further to get it to work with other UIs, like
--tui and --gtk, where it continues showing a blank screen, no messages, as
the pr_err() used is enough just for --stdio.
