      perf evsel: Allow unresolved symbol names to be printed as addresses · fd4be130
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      The fprintf_sym() and fprintf_callchain() methods now allow users to
      change the existing behaviour of showing "[unknown]" as the name of
      unresolved symbols to instead show "[0x123456]", i.e. its address.
      
      The current patch doesn't change tools to use this facility, the results
      from 'perf trace' and 'perf script' cotinue like:
      
      70.109 ( 0.001 ms): qemu-system-x8/10153 poll(ufds: 0x7f2d93ffe870, nfds: 1) = 0 Timeout
                                         [unknown] (/usr/lib64/libc-2.22.so)
                                         [unknown] (/usr/lib64/libspice-server.so.1.10.0)
                                         [unknown] (/usr/lib64/libspice-server.so.1.10.0)
                                         [unknown] (/usr/lib64/libspice-server.so.1.10.0)
                                         start_thread+0xca (/usr/lib64/libpthread-2.22.so)
                                         __clone+0x6d (/usr/lib64/libc-2.22.so)
      
      The next patch will make 'perf trace' use the new formatting.

      perf trace: Make "--call-graph" affect just "raw_syscalls:sys_exit" · fde54b78
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      We don't need the callchains at the syscall enter tracepoint, just when
      finishing it at syscall exit, so reduce the overhead by asking for
      callchains just at syscall exit.

      perf evsel: Rename config_callgraph() to config_callchain() and make it public · 01e0d50c
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      The rename is for consistency with the parameter name.
      
      Make it public for fine grained control of which evsels should have
      callchains enabled, like, for instance, will be done in the next
      changesets in 'perf trace', to enable callchains just on the
      "raw_syscalls:sys_exit" tracepoint.

      perf evsel: Do not use globals in config() · e68ae9cf
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      Instead receive a callchain_param pointer to configure callchain
      aspects, not doing so if NULL is passed.
      
      This will allow fine grained control over which evsels in an evlist
      gets callchains enabled.

      perf evsel: Introduce fprintf_callchain() method out of fprintf_sym() · ea453965

      In 'perf trace' we're just interested in printing callchains, and we
      don't want to use the symbol_conf.use_callchain, so move the callchain
      part to a new method.

      As it receives a FILE, and its more than just the IP, which can even be
      requested not to be printed.
      
      For consistency with other similar methods in tools/perf/, name it as
      perf_evsel__fprintf_sym() and make it return the number of bytes
      printed, just like 'fprintf(3)'

      perf trace: Add support for printing call chains on sys_exit events. · 566a0885
      Milian Wolff authored
      Now, one can print the call chain for every encountered sys_exit event,
      e.g.:
      
          $ perf trace -e nanosleep --call-graph dwarf path/to/ex_sleep
          1005.757 (1000.090 ms): ex_sleep/13167 nanosleep(...) = 0
                                                   syscall_slow_exit_work ([kernel.kallsyms])
                                                   syscall_return_slowpath ([kernel.kallsyms])
                                                   int_ret_from_sys_call ([kernel.kallsyms])
                                                   __nanosleep (/usr/lib/libc-2.23.so)
                                                   [unknown] (/usr/lib/libQt5Core.so.5.6.0)
                                                   QThread::sleep (/usr/lib/libQt5Core.so.5.6.0)
                                                   main (path/to/ex_sleep)
                                                   __libc_start_main (/usr/lib/libc-2.23.so)
                                                   _start (path/to/ex_sleep)
      
      Note that it is advised to increase the number of mmap pages to prevent
      event losses when using this new feature. Often, adding `-m 10M` to the
      `perf trace` invocation is enough.
      
      This feature is also available in strace when built with libunwind via
      `strace -k`. Performance wise, this solution is much better:
      
          $ time find path/to/linux &> /dev/null
      
          real    0m0.051s
          user    0m0.013s
          sys     0m0.037s
      
          $ time perf trace -m 800M --call-graph dwarf find path/to/linux &> /dev/null
      
          real    0m2.624s
          user    0m1.203s
          sys     0m1.333s
      
          $ time strace -k find path/to/linux  &> /dev/null
      
          real    0m35.398s
          user    0m10.403s
          sys     0m23.173s
      
      Note that it is currently not possible to configure the print output.
      Adding such a feature, similar to what is available in `perf script` via
      its `--fields` knob can be added later on.

      perf bpf: Automatically create bpf-output event __bpf_stdout__ · 72c08098
      Wang Nan authored
      This patch removes the need to set a bpf-output event in cmdline.  By
      referencing a map named '__bpf_stdout__', perf automatically creates an
      event for it.
      
      For example:
      
        # perf record -e ./test_bpf_trace.c usleep 100000

        [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.012 MB perf.data (2 samples) ]

      perf bpf: Clone bpf stdout events in multiple bpf scripts · d7888573
      Wang Nan authored
      This patch allows cloning bpf-output event configuration among multiple
      bpf scripts. If there exist a map named '__bpf_output__' and not
      configured using 'map:__bpf_output__.event=', this patch clones the
      configuration of another '__bpf_stdout__' map. For example, following
      command:
      
        # perf trace --ev bpf-output/no-inherit,name=evt/ \
                     --ev ./test_bpf_trace.c/map:__bpf_stdout__.event=evt/ \
                     --ev ./test_bpf_trace2.c usleep 100000
      
      equals to:
      
        # perf trace --ev bpf-output/no-inherit,name=evt/ \
                     --ev ./test_bpf_trace.c/map:__bpf_stdout__.event=evt/  \
                     --ev ./test_bpf_trace2.c/map:__bpf_stdout__.event=evt/ \

      perf symbols: Adjust symbol for shared objects · 99e87f7b
      Wang Nan authored
      He Kuang reported a problem that perf fails to get correct symbol on
      Android platform in [1]. The problem can be reproduced on normal x86_64
      platform. I will describe the reproducing steps in detail at the end of
      commit message.
      
      The reason of this problem is the missing of symbol adjustment for normal
      shared objects. In most of the cases skipping adjustment is okay. However,
      when '.text' section have different 'address' and 'offset' the result is wrong.
      I checked all shared objects in my working platform, only wine dll objects and
      debug objects (in .debug) have this problem. However, it is common on Android.
      For example:
      
       $ readelf -S ./libsurfaceflinger.so | grep \.text
         [10] .text             PROGBITS         0000000000029030  00012030
      
      This patch enables symbol adjustment for dynamic objects so the symbol
      address got from elfutils would be adjusted correctly.
      
      Now nearly all types of ELF files should adjust symbols. Makes
      ss->adjust_symbols default to true.
      
      Steps to reproduce the problem:
      
        $ cat ./Makefile
        PWD := $(shell pwd)
        LDFLAGS += "-Wl,-rpath=$(PWD)"
        CFLAGS += -g
        main: main.c libbuggy.so
        libbuggy.so: buggy.c
      	gcc -g -shared -fPIC -Wl,-Ttext-segment=0x200000 $< -o $@
        clean:
      	rm -rf main libbuggy.so *.o
      
        $ cat ./buggy.c
        int fib(int x)
        {
            return (x == 0) ? 1 : (x == 1) ? 1 : fib(x - 1) + fib(x - 2);
        }
      
        $ cat ./main.c
        #include <stdio.h>
      
        extern int fib(int x);
        int main()
        {
           int i;
      
           for (i = 0; i < 40; i++)
               printf("%d\n", fib(i));
           return 0;
       }
      
       $ make
       $ perf record ./main
       ...
       $ perf report --stdio
       # Overhead  Command  Shared Object      Symbol

       #

      perf symbols: Record text offset in dso to calculate objdump address · a58f7033
      Wang Nan authored
      In this patch, the offset of '.text' section is stored into dso
      and used here to re-calculate address to objdump.
      
      In most of the cases, executable code is in '.text' section, so the
      adjustment made to a symbol in dso__load_sym (using
      sym.st_value -= shdr.sh_addr - shdr.sh_offset) should equal to
      'sym.st_value -= dso->text_offset'. Therefore, adding text_offset back
      get objdump address from symbol address (rip). However, it is not true
      for kernel and kernel module since there could be multiple executable
      sections with different offset. Exclude kernel for this reason.
      
      After this patch, even dso->adjust_symbols is set to true for shared
      objects, map__rip_2objdump() and map__objdump_2mem() would return
      correct result, so perf behavior of annotate won't be changed.

      perf tools: Build syscall table .c header from kernel's syscall_64.tbl · 1b700c99
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      We used libaudit to map ids to syscall names and vice-versa, but that
      imposes a delay in supporting new syscalls, having to wait for libaudit
      to get those new syscalls on its tables.
      
      To remove that delay, for x86_64 initially, grab a copy of
      arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscall_64.tbl and use it to generate those
      tables.
      
      Syscalls currently not available in audit-libs:
      
        # trace -e copy_file_range,membarrier,mlock2,pread64,pwrite64,timerfd_create,userfaultfd

      perf tools: Allow generating per-arch syscall table arrays · 5af56fab
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      Tools should use a mechanism similar to arch/x86/entry/syscalls/ to
      generate a header file with the definitions for two variables:
      
        static const char *syscalltbl_x86_64[] = {
      	[0] = "read",
      	[1] = "write",
        <SNIP>
      	[324] = "membarrier",
      	[325] = "mlock2",
      	[326] = "copy_file_range",
        };
        static const int syscalltbl_x86_64_max_id = 326;
      
      In a per arch file that should then be included in
      tools/perf/util/syscalltbl.c.
      
      First one will be for x86_64.

      perf trace: Move syscall table id <-> name routines to separate class · fd0db102
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      We're using libaudit for doing name to id and id to syscall name
      translations, but that makes 'perf trace' to have to wait for newer
      libaudit versions supporting recently added syscalls, such as
      "userfaultfd" at the time of this changeset.
      
      We have all the information right there, in the kernel sources, so move
      this code to a separate place, wrapped behind functions that will
      progressively use the kernel source files to extract the syscall table
      for use in 'perf trace'.

      When reading the syscall tracepoint /format file, look for arguments of type
      "mode_t" and attach a beautifier:

      Now lets see if check by using the tracepoint for that specific syscall,
      instead of raw_syscalls:sys_enter as 'trace' does for its strace fu:
      
        # trace --no-inherit --ev syscalls:sys_enter_fchmodat -e fchmodat chmod 666 x
           0.255 (         ): syscalls:sys_enter_fchmodat:dfd: 0xffffffffffffff9c, filename: 0x55db32a3f0f0, mode: 0x000001b6)
           0.268 ( 0.012 ms): fchmodat(dfd: CWD, filename: x, mode: IRUGO|IWUGO                     ) = 0
        #
      
      Perfect, 0x1bc == 0666.

      perf script: Process event update events · 91daee30
      Jiri Olsa authored
      Andreas reported following command produces no output:
      
        # cat test.py
        #!/usr/bin/env python
      
        def stat__krava(cpu, thread, time, val, ena, run):
            print "event %s cpu %d, thread %d, time %d, val %d, ena %d, run %d" % \
                  ("krava", cpu, thread, time, val, ena, run)
        # perf stat -a -I 1000 -e cycles,"cpu/config=0x6530160,name=krava/" record | perf script -s test.py
        ^C
        #
      
      The reason is that 'perf script' does not process event update events and
      will never get the event name update thus the python callback is never
      called.
      
      The fix is just to add already existing callback we use in 'perf stat
      report'.
      
      Committer note:
      
      After the patch:
      
        # perf stat -a -I 1000 -e cycles,"cpu/config=0x6530160,name=krava/" record | perf script -s test.py

      perf tools: Add dedicated unwind addr_space member into thread struct · e583d70c
      Jiri Olsa authored
      Milian reported issue with thread::priv, which was double booked by perf
      trace and DWARF unwind code. So using those together is impossible at
      the moment.
      
      Moving DWARF unwind private data into separate variable so perf trace
      can keep using thread::priv.

      When reading the syscall tracepoint /format file, look for arguments
      of type "pid_t" and attach the PID beautifier, that will do a lookup

      perf bpf: Add sample types for 'bpf-output' event · d37ba880
      Wang Nan authored
      Before this patch we can see very large time in the events before the
      'bpf-output' event. For example:
      
        # perf trace -vv -T --ev sched:sched_switch \
                            --ev bpf-output/no-inherit,name=evt/ \
                            --ev ./test_bpf_trace.c/map:channel.event=evt/ \
                            usleep 10
        ...
        18446744073709.551 (18446564645918.480 ms): usleep/4157 nanosleep(rqtp: 0x7ffd3f0dc4e0) ...
        18446744073709.551 (         ): evt:Raise a BPF event!..)
        179427791.076 (         ): perf_bpf_probe:func_begin:(ffffffff810eb9a0))
        179427791.081 (         ): sched:sched_switch:usleep:4157 [120] S ==> swapper/2:0 [120])
        ...
      
      We can also see the differences between bpf-output events and
      breakpoint events:
      
      For bpf output event:
         sample_type                    IP|TID|RAW|IDENTIFIER
      
      For tracepoint events:
         sample_type                    IP|TID|TIME|CPU|PERIOD|RAW|IDENTIFIER
      
      This patch fix this differences by adding more sample type for
      bpf-output events.
      
      After this patch:
      
        # perf trace -vv -T --ev sched:sched_switch \
                            --ev bpf-output/no-inherit,name=evt/ \
                            --ev ./test_bpf_trace.c/map:channel.event=evt/ \
                            usleep 10
        ...
        179877370.878 ( 0.003 ms): usleep/5336 nanosleep(rqtp: 0x7ffff866c450) ...
        179877370.878 (         ): evt:Raise a BPF event!..)
        179877370.878 (         ): perf_bpf_probe:func_begin:(ffffffff810eb9a0))
        179877370.882 (         ): sched:sched_switch:usleep:5336 [120] S ==> swapper/4:0 [120])
        179877370.945 (         ): evt:Raise a BPF event!..)
        ...
      
        # ./perf trace -vv -T --ev sched:sched_switch \
                              --ev bpf-output/no-inherit,name=evt/ \
                              --ev ./test_bpf_trace.c/map:channel.event=evt/ \
                              usleep 10 2>&1 | grep sample_type
        sample_type                      IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD|RAW
        sample_type                      IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD|RAW
        sample_type                      IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD|RAW
        sample_type                      IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD|RAW
        sample_type                      IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD|RAW
        sample_type                      IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD|RAW
      
      The 'IDENTIFIER' info is not required because all events have the same
      sample_type.
