When introducing the possibility for selecting if the common prefix to options such as the waitid ones, i.e. all 'waitid' options start with 'W', so, to make it make it more compact if configured to suppress it, 'perf trace' will do so, other examples include mmap's PROT_ prefix for its 'prot' argument, etc, which, when showing the syscall argument name ends up producing duplicated info that clutters the screen, i.e.: # perf trace -e mmap --max-events 2 sleep 1 0.000 ( 0.014 ms): sleep/20886 mmap(len: 112595, prot: PROT_READ, flags: MAP_PRIVATE, fd: 3) = 0x7f3e986d2000 0.041 ( 0.005 ms): sleep/20886 mmap(len: 8192, prot: PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, flags: MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS) = 0x7f3e986d0000 # So it is possible to suppress that and make it more compact by having this in your ~/.perfconfig: # cat ~/.perfconfig [trace] show_prefix = no # # perf trace -e mmap --max-events 2 sleep 1 0.000 ( 0.014 ms): sleep/8009 mmap(len: 112595, prot: READ, flags: PRIVATE, fd: 3) = 0x7ff2373de000 0.040 ( 0.005 ms): sleep/8009 mmap(len: 8192, prot: READ|WRITE, flags: PRIVATE|ANONYMOUS) = 0x7ff2373dc000 # To have it look more like strace's output, we instead want to suppress the arg name and show the prefix, so use: # cat ~/.perfconfig [trace] show_prefix = yes show_arg_names = no # # perf trace -e mmap --max-events 2 sleep 1 0.000 ( 0.006 ms): sleep/15513 mmap(NULL, 112595, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, 3, 0) = 0x7f7a9b6d3000 0.020 ( 0.002 ms): sleep/15513 mmap(NULL, 8192, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS) = 0x7f7a9b6d1000 # When this logic was introduced a bug came with it when processing the waitid 'option' arg that ended up expecting 3 strings when just two were being provided, fix it.

Since we get all the tests in a single .c file for a first test, tools/build/feature/test-all.c, if individual tests set that define and fail to undef it at its end, then it the test-all.c build will fail due to defining _GNU_SOURCE multiple times, getting us to the slow path, so undef it at the end in tests that define it.

On IBM z13 machine types 2964 and 2965 the descriptor sizes for sampling and diagnostic sampling entries might be missing in the trailer entry and are set to zero. This leads to a perf report failure when processing diagnostic sampling entries. This patch adds missing descriptor sizes when the trailer entry contains zero for these fields.

Andi Kleen authored
KVM added a workaround for PEBS events leaking into guests with commit: 26a4f3c0 ("perf/x86: disable PEBS on a guest entry.") This uses the VT entry/exit list to add an extra disable of the PEBS_ENABLE MSR. Intel also added a fix for this issue to microcode updates on Haswell/Broadwell/Skylake. It turns out using the MSR entry/exit list makes VM exits significantly slower. The list is only needed for disabling PEBS, because the GLOBAL_CTRL change gets optimized by KVM into changing the VMCS. Check for the microcode updates that have the microcode fix for leaking PEBS, and disable the extra entry/exit list entry for PEBS_ENABLE. In addition we always clear the GLOBAL_CTRL for the PEBS counter while running in the guest, which is enough to make them never fire at the wrong side of the host/guest transition. The overhead for VM exits with the filtering active with the patch is reduced from 8% to 4%. The microcode patch has already been merged into future platforms. This patch is one-off thing. The quirks is used here. For other old platforms which doesn't have microcode patch and quirks, extra disable of the PEBS_ENABLE MSR is still required. Signed-off-by:

For bug workarounds or checks, it is useful to check for specific microcode revisions. Add a new generic function to match the CPU with stepping. Add the other function to check the min microcode revisions for the matched CPU. A new table format is introduced to facilitate the quirk to fill the related information. This does not change the existing x86_cpu_id because it's an ABI shared with modules, and also has quite different requirements, as in no wildcards, but everything has to be matched exactly.

CYC packet timestamp calculation depends upon CBR which was being cleared upon overflow (OVF). That can cause errors due to failing to synchronize with sideband events. Even if a CBR change has been lost, the old CBR is still a better estimate than zero. So remove the clearing of CBR. Signed-off-by:

The compiler might optimize a call/ret combination by making it a jmp. However the thread-stack does not presently cater for that, so that such control flow is not visible in the call graph. Make it visible by recording on the stack a branch to the start of a different symbol. Note, that means when a ret pops the stack, all jmps must be popped off first. Example: $ cat jmp-to-fn.c __attribute__((noinline)) int bar(void) { return -1; } __attribute__((noinline)) int foo(void) { return bar() + 1; } int main() { return foo(); } $ gcc -ggdb3 -Wall -Wextra -O2 -o jmp-to-fn jmp-to-fn.c $ objdump -d jmp-to-fn <SNIP> 0000000000001040 <main>: 1040: 31 c0 xor %eax,%eax 1042: e9 09 01 00 00 jmpq 1150 <foo> <SNIP> 0000000000001140 <bar>: 1140: b8 ff ff ff ff mov $0xffffffff,%eax 1145: c3 retq <SNIP> 0000000000001150 <foo>: 1150: 31 c0 xor %eax,%eax 1152: e8 e9 ff ff ff callq 1140 <bar> 1157: 83 c0 01 add $0x1,%eax 115a: c3 retq <SNIP> $ perf record -o jmp-to-fn.perf.data -e intel_pt/cyc/u ./jmp-to-fn [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0,017 MB jmp-to-fn.perf.data ] $ perf script -i jmp-to-fn.perf.data --itrace=be -s ~/libexec/perf-core/scripts/python/export-to-sqlite.py jmp-to-fn.db branches calls 2019-01-08 13:24:58.783069 Creating database... 2019-01-08 13:24:58.794650 Writing records... 2019-01-08 13:24:59.008050 Adding indexes 2019-01-08 13:24:59.015802 Done $ ~/libexec/perf-core/scripts/python/exported-sql-viewer.py jmp-to-fn.db Before: main -> bar After: main -> foo -> bar Committer testing: Install the python2-pyside package, then select these menu options on the GUI: "Reports" "Context sensitive callgraphs" Then go on expanding the symbols, to get, full picture when doing this on a fedora:29 with gcc version 8.2.1 20181215 (Red Hat 8.2.1-6) (GCC): jmp-to-fn PID:TID _start (ld-2.28.so) __libc_start_main main foo bar To verify that indeed, this fixes the problem.

Kallsyms symbols do not have a size, so the size becomes the distance to the next symbol. Consequently the recently added trampoline symbols end up with large sizes because the trampolines are some distance from one another and the main kernel map. However, symbols that end outside their map can disrupt the symbol tree because, after mapping, it can appear incorrectly that they overlap other symbols. Add logic to truncate symbol size to the end of the corresponding map. Signed-off-by:

When return from exception, we need to distinguish if it's system call return or for other type exceptions for setting sample flags. Due to the exception return packet doesn't contain exception number, so we cannot decide sample flags based on exception number. On the other hand, the exception return packet is followed by an instruction range packet; this range packet deliveries the start address after exception handling, we can check if it is a SVC instruction just before the start address. If there has one SVC instruction is found ahead the return address, this means it's an exception return for system call; otherwise it is an normal return for other exceptions. This patch is to set sample flags for exception return packet, firstly it simply set sample flags as PERF_IP_FLAG_INTERRUPT for all exception returns since at this point it doesn't know what's exactly the exception type. We will defer to decide if it's an exception return for system call when the next instruction range packet comes, it checks if there has one SVC instruction prior to the start address and if so we will change sample flags to PERF_IP_FLAG_SYSCALLRET for system call return.

The exception taken and returning are typical flow for instruction jump but it needs to be handled with exception packets. This patch is to set sample flags for exception packet. Since the exception packet contains the exception number, according to the exception number this patch makes decision for belonging to which exception types. The decoder have defined different exception number for ETMv3 and ETMv4 separately, hence this patch needs firstly decide the ETM version by using the metadata magic number, and this patch adds helper function cs_etm__get_magic() for easily getting magic number. Based on different ETM version, the exception packet contains the exception number, according to the exception number this patch makes decision for the exception belonging to which exception types. In this patch, it introduces helper function cs_etm__is_svc_instr(); for ETMv4 CS_ETMV4_EXC_CALL covers SVC, SMC and HVC cases in the single exception number, thus need to use cs_etm__is_svc_instr() to decide an exception taken for system call.

If packet processing wants to know the packet is bound with which ETM version, it needs to access metadata to decide that based on metadata magic number; but we cannot simply to use CPU logic ID number as index to access metadata sequential array, especially when system have hotplugged off CPUs, the metadata array are only allocated for online CPUs but not offline CPUs, so the CPU logic number doesn't match with its index in the array. This patch is to change tuple from traceID-CPU# to traceID-metadata, thus it can use the tuple to retrieve metadata pointer according to traceID. For safe accessing metadata fields, this patch provides helper function cs_etm__get_cpu() which is used to return CPU number according to traceID; cs_etm_decoder__buffer_packet() is the first consumer for this helper function.

When an exception packet comes, it contains the information for exception number; the exception number indicates the exception types, so from it we can know if the exception is taken for interrupt, system call or other traps, etc. This patch simply adds a field in cs_etm_packet struct, it records exception number for exception packet that will then be used to properly identify exception types to the perf synthesize mechanic.
