      perf trace/scripting: Fix compile error when libperl not installed · 3a9a0beb
      Tom Zanussi authored
      When I added the xs callbacks into perf, I forgot to re-check
      the no-libperl case. This patch fixes the undefined reference
      error for that.

      perf: Make common SAMPLE_EVENT parser · 180f95e2
      OGAWA Hirofumi authored
      Currently, sample event data is parsed for each commands, and it
      is assuming that the data is not including other data. (E.g.
      timechart, trace, etc. can't parse the event if it has
      PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN)
      
      So, even if we record the superset data for multiple commands at
      a time, commands can't parse. etc.
      
      To fix it, this makes common sample event parser, and use it to
      parse sample event correctly. (PERF_SAMPLE_READ is unsupported
      for now though, it seems to be not using.)

      Update "struct trace_entry" to match with current one. And
      remove "size" field from it.
      
      If it has "size", it become cause of alignment mismatch of

      x86: Fixup wrong irq frame link in stacktraces · af2d8289
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      When we enter in irq, two things can happen to preserve the link
      to the previous frame pointer:
      
      - If we were in an irq already, we don't switch to the irq stack
        as we are inside. We just need to save the previous frame
        pointer and to link the new one to the previous.
      
      - Otherwise we need another level of indirection. We enter the irq with
        the previous stack. We save the previous bp inside and make bp
        pointing to its saved address. Then we switch to the irq stack and
        push bp another time but to the new stack. This makes two levels to
        dereference instead of one.
      
      In the second case, the current stacktrace code omits the second level
      and loses the frame pointer accuracy. The stack that follows will then
      be considered as unreliable.
      
      Handling that makes the perf callchain happier.

      x86: Fixup wrong debug exception frame link in stacktraces · b625b3b3
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      While dumping a stacktrace, the end of the exception stack won't link
      the frame pointer to the previous stack.
      
      The interrupted stack will then be considered as unreliable and ignored
      by perf, as the frame pointer is unreliable itself.
      
      This happens because we overwrite the frame pointer that links to the
      interrupted frame with the address of the exception stack. This is
      done in order to reserve space inside.
      But rbp has been chosen here only because it is not a scratch register,
      so that the address of the exception stack remains in rbp after calling
      do_debug(), we can then release the exception stack space without the
      need to retrieve its address again.
      
      But we can pick another non-scratch register to do that, so that we
      preserve the link to the interrupted stack frame in the stacktraces.
      
      Just randomly choose r12. Every registers are saved just before and
      restored just after calling do_debug(). And r12 is not used in the
      middle, which makes it a perfect candidate.
      
      Example: perf record -g -a -c 1 -f -e mem:$(tasklist_lock_addr):rw

      We are infected with all the debug stack. Like the nmi stack, the debug
      stack is undesired as it is part of the profiling path, not helpful for
      the user.
      
      Ignore it.

      hw-breakpoints: Use overflow handler instead of the event callback · b326e956
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      struct perf_event::event callback was called when a breakpoint
      triggers. But this is a rather opaque callback, pretty
      tied-only to the breakpoint API and not really integrated into perf
      as it triggers even when we don't overflow.
      
      We prefer to use overflow_handler() as it fits into the perf events
      rules, being called only when we overflow.
