      perf powerpc: Fix callchain ip filtering when return address is in a register · 9068533e
      Sandipan Das authored
      For powerpc64, perf will filter out the second entry in the callchain,
      i.e. the LR value, if the return address of the function corresponding
      to the probed location has already been saved on its caller's stack.
      
      The state of the return address is determined using debug information.
      At any point within a function, if the return address is already saved
      somewhere, a DWARF expression can tell us about its location. If the
      return address in still in LR only, no DWARF expression would exist.
      
      Typically, the instructions in a function's prologue first copy the LR
      value to R0 and then pushes R0 on to the stack. If LR has already been
      copied to R0 but R0 is yet to be pushed to the stack, we can still get a
      DWARF expression that says that the return address is in R0. This is
      indicating that getting a DWARF expression for the return address does
      not guarantee the fact that it has already been saved on the stack.
      
      This can be observed on a powerpc64le system running Fedora 27 as shown
      below.

      perf powerpc: Fix callchain ip filtering · c715fcfd
      Sandipan Das authored
      For powerpc64, redundant entries in the callchain are filtered out by
      determining the state of the return address and the stack frame using
      DWARF debug information.
      
      For making these filtering decisions we must analyze the debug
      information for the location corresponding to the program counter value,
      i.e. the first entry in the callchain, and not the LR value; otherwise,
      perf may filter out either the second or the third entry in the
      callchain incorrectly.
      
      This can be observed on a powerpc64le system running Fedora 27 as shown
      below.
      
      Case 1 - Attaching a probe at inet_pton+0x8 (binary offset 0x15af28).
               Return address is still in LR and a new stack frame is not yet
               allocated. The LR value, i.e. the second entry, should not be
      	 filtered out.

      perf kvm: Fix subcommands on s390 · 8a95c899
      Thomas Richter authored
      With commit eca0fa28 ("perf record: Provide detailed information on
      s390 CPU") s390 platform provides detailed type/model/capacity
      information in the CPU identifier string instead of just "IBM/S390".
      
      This breaks 'perf kvm' support which uses hard coded string IBM/S390 to
      compare with the CPU identifier string. Fix this by changing the
      comparison.

      perf stat: Add transaction flag (-T) support for s390 · 742d92ff
      Thomas Richter authored
      The 'perf stat' command line flag -T to display transaction counters is
      currently supported for x86 only.
      
      Add support for s390. It is based on the metrics flag -M transaction
      using the architecture dependent JSON files. This requires a metric
      named "transaction" in the JSON files for the platform.
      
      Introduce a new function metricgroup__has_metric() to check for the
      existence of a metric_name transaction.
      
      As suggested by Andi Kleen, this is the new approach to support
      transactions counters. Other architectures will follow.
      
      Output before:
      
        [root@p23lp27 perf]# ./perf stat -T -- sleep 1
        Cannot set up transaction events

      The code dereferences event before checking the STARTED bit. Patch
      below should cure the issue.
      
      The warning should not trigger, if I analyzed the thing correctly.
      (And Paul's testing confirms this.)
