Currently we can crash perf record when running in pipe mode, like: $ perf record ls | perf report # To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options. # perf: Segmentation fault Error: The - file has no samples! The callstack of the crash is: 0x0000000000515242 in perf_event__synthesize_event_update_name 3513 ev = event_update_event__new(len + 1, PERF_EVENT_UPDATE__NAME, evsel->id[0]); (gdb) bt #0 0x0000000000515242 in perf_event__synthesize_event_update_name #1 0x00000000005158a4 in perf_event__synthesize_extra_attr #2 0x0000000000443347 in record__synthesize #3 0x00000000004438e3 in __cmd_record #4 0x000000000044514e in cmd_record #5 0x00000000004cbc95 in run_builtin #6 0x00000000004cbf02 in handle_internal_command #7 0x00000000004cc054 in run_argv #8 0x00000000004cc422 in main The reason of the crash is that the evsel does not have ids array allocated and the pipe's synthesize code tries to access it. We don't force evsel ids allocation when we have single event, because it's not needed. However we need it when we are in pipe mode even for single event as a key for evsel update event. Fixing this by forcing evsel ids allocation event for single event, when we are in pipe mode.

There's a problem with relying on backtrace data from 'perf trace' the way the trace+probe_libc_inet_pton does. This test inserts uprobe within ping binary and checks that it gets its sample using 'perf trace'. It also checks it gets proper backtrace from sample and that's where the issue is. The 'perf trace' does not sort events (by definition) so it can happen that it processes the event sample before the ping binary memory map event. This can (very rarely) happen as proved by this events dump output (from custom added debug output): ... 7680/7680: [0x7f4e29718000(0x204000) @ 0 fd:00 33611321 4230892504]: r-xp /usr/lib64/libdl-2.17.so 7680/7680: [0x7f4e29502000(0x216000) @ 0 fd:00 33617257 2606846872]: r-xp /usr/lib64/libz.so.1.2.7 (IP, 0x2): 7680/7680: 0x7f4e29c2ed60 period: 1 addr: 0 7680/7680: [0x564842ef0000(0x233000) @ 0 fd:00 83 1989280200]: r-xp /usr/bin/ping 7680/7680: [0x7f4e2aca2000(0x224000) @ 0 fd:00 33611308 1219144940]: r-xp /usr/lib64/ld-2.17.so ... In this case 'perf trace' fails to resolve the last callchain IP (within the ping binary) because it does not know about the ping binary memory map yet and the test fails like this: PING ::1(::1) 56 data bytes 64 bytes from ::1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.037 ms --- ::1 ping statistics --- 1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.037/0.037/0.037/0.000 ms 0.000 probe_libc:inet_pton:(7f4e29c2ed60)) __GI___inet_pton (/usr/lib64/libc-2.17.so) getaddrinfo (/usr/lib64/libc-2.17.so) [0] ([unknown]) FAIL: expected backtrace entry 8 ".*\(.*/bin/ping.*\)$" got "[0] ([unknown])" Switching the test to use 'perf record' and 'perf script' instead of 'perf trace'.

This first happened with a gcc function, _cpp_lex_token, that has the usual jumps: │1159e6c: ↓ jne 115aa32 <_cpp_lex_token@@Base+0xf92> I.e. jumps to a label inside that function (_cpp_lex_token), and those works, but also this kind: │1159e8b: ↓ jne c469be <cpp_named_operator2name@@Base+0xa72> I.e. jumps to another function, outside _cpp_lex_token, which are not being correctly handled generating as a side effect references to ab->offset[] entries that are set to NULL, so to make this code more robust, check that here. A proper fix for will be put in place, looking at the function name right after the '<' token and probably treating this like a 'call' instruction. For now just don't draw the arrow. Reported-by:

If we execute 'perf stat --per-thread' with non-root account (even set kernel.perf_event_paranoid = -1 yet), it reports the error: jinyao@skl:~$ perf stat --per-thread Error: You may not have permission to collect system-wide stats. Consider tweaking /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid, which controls use of the performance events system by unprivileged users (without CAP_SYS_ADMIN). The current value is 2: -1: Allow use of (almost) all events by all users Ignore mlock limit after perf_event_mlock_kb without CAP_IPC_LOCK >= 0: Disallow ftrace function tracepoint by users without CAP_SYS_ADMIN Disallow raw tracepoint access by users without CAP_SYS_ADMIN >= 1: Disallow CPU event access by users without CAP_SYS_ADMIN >= 2: Disallow kernel profiling by users without CAP_SYS_ADMIN To make this setting permanent, edit /etc/sysctl.conf too, e.g.: kernel.perf_event_paranoid = -1 Perhaps the ptrace rule doesn't allow to trace some processes. But anyway the global --per-thread mode had better ignore such errors and continue working on other threads. This patch will record the index of error thread in perf_evsel__open() and remove this thread before retrying. For example (run with non-root, kernel.perf_event_paranoid isn't set): jinyao@skl:~$ perf stat --per-thread ^C Performance counter stats for 'system wide': vmstat-3458 6.171984 cpu-clock:u (msec) # 0.000 CPUs utilized perf-3670 0.515599 cpu-clock:u (msec) # 0.000 CPUs utilized vmstat-3458 1,163,643 cycles:u # 0.189 GHz perf-3670 40,881 cycles:u # 0.079 GHz vmstat-3458 1,410,238 instructions:u # 1.21 insn per cycle perf-3670 3,536 instructions:u # 0.09 insn per cycle vmstat-3458 288,937 branches:u # 46.814 M/sec perf-3670 936 branches:u # 1.815 M/sec vmstat-3458 15,195 branch-misses:u # 5.26% of all branches perf-3670 76 branch-misses:u # 8.12% of all branches 12.651675247 seconds time elapsed Signed-off-by:Jin Yao <yao.jin@linux.intel.com> Acked-by:

On older (e.g. v4.4) kernels, an annoying fallback message can be observed in 'perf top': ┌─Warning:──────────────────────┐ │fall back to non-overwrite mode│ │ │ │ │ │Press any key... │ └───────────────────────────────┘ The 'perf top' utility has been changed to overwrite mode since commit ebebbf08 ("perf top: Switch default mode to overwrite mode"). For older kernels which don't have overwrite mode support, 'perf top' will fall back to non-overwrite mode and print out the fallback message using ui__warning(), which needs user's input to close. The fallback message is not critical for end users. Turning it to debug message which is printed when running with -vv. Reported-by:

When using -G with one cgroup and -e with multiple events, only the first event gets the correct cgroup setting, all events from the second onwards will track system-wide events. If the user wants to track multiple events for a specific cgroup, the user must give parameters like the following: $ perf stat -e e1 -e e2 -e e3 -G test,test,test This patch simplify this case, just type one cgroup: $ perf stat -e e1 -e e2 -e e3 -G test $ mkdir -p /sys/fs/cgroup/perf_event/empty_cgroup $ perf stat -e cycles -e cache-misses -a -I 1000 -G empty_cgroup Before: 1.001007226 <not counted> cycles empty_cgroup 1.001007226 7,506 cache-misses After: 1.000834097 <not counted> cycles empty_cgroup 1.000834097 <not counted> cache-misses empty_cgroup Signed-off-by:weiping zhang <zhangweiping@didichuxing.com> Acked-by:

Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo-4.17-20180220' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/core Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo: - Initial support for linking with python3, by explicitely setting the PYTHON Makefile variable, python2 remains supported, more work needed to test the shipped python scripts used with 'perf script' (Jaroslav Škarvada) - Make twatch.py, an example python script that sets up evlists and evsels to then parse events from mmap, to work with both python2 and python3 (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - Fix setting 'perf ftrace' function filter when using a non-existent function, which should result in an error instead of simply not setting the filter and showing all functions (Changbin Du) - Fix paranoid check in machine__set_kernel_mmap(), problem introduced in previous perf/core batch (Namhyung Kim) - Fix reading cpuid model information in s/390, ditto, also introduced in the previous perf/core batch (Thomas Richter) Signed-off-by:

Added Python 3 support while keeping Python 2.7 compatibility. Committer notes: This doesn't make it to auto detect python 3, one has to explicitely ask it to build with python 3 devel files, here are the instructions provided by Jaroslav: --- $ cp -a tools/perf tools/python3-perf $ make V=1 prefix=/usr -C tools/perf PYTHON=/usr/bin/python2 all $ make V=1 prefix=/usr -C tools/python3-perf PYTHON=/usr/bin/python3 all $ make V=1 prefix=/usr -C tools/python3-perf PYTHON=/usr/bin/python3 DESTDIR=%{buildroot} install-python_ext $ make V=1 prefix=/usr -C tools/perf PYTHON=/usr/bin/python2 DESTDIR=%{buildroot} install-python_ext --- We need to make this automatic, just like the existing tests for checking if the python2 devel files are in place, allowing the build with python3 if available, fallbacking to python2 and then just disabling it if none are available. So, using the PYTHON variable to build it using O= we get: Before this patch: $ rpm -q python3 python3-devel python3-3.6.4-7.fc27.x86_64 python3-devel-3.6.4-7.fc27.x86_64 $ rm -rf /tmp/build/perf/ ; mkdir -p /tmp/build/perf ; make O=/tmp/build/perf PYTHON=/usr/bin/python3 -C tools/perf install-bin make: Entering directory '/home/acme/git/linux/tools/perf' <SNIP> Makefile.config:670: Python 3 is not yet supported; please set Makefile.config:671: PYTHON and/or PYTHON_CONFIG appropriately.

Before this change, the '--graph-funcs', '--nograph-funcs' and '--trace-funcs' options didn't work as expected when the <func> doesn't exist. Because the kernel side hid possible errors. $ sudo ./perf ftrace -a --graph-depth 1 --graph-funcs abcdefg 0) 0.140 us | rcu_all_qs(); 3) 0.304 us | mutex_unlock(); 0) 0.153 us | find_vma(); 3) 0.088 us | __fsnotify_parent(); 0) 6.145 us | handle_mm_fault(); 3) 0.089 us | fsnotify(); 3) 0.161 us | __sb_end_write(); 3) 0.710 us | SyS_close(); 3) 7.848 us | exit_to_usermode_loop(); On the example above, I specified the function filter 'abcdefg' but all functions are enabled. The expected result is for all functions to be filtered, since there is no such function ('abcdefg') The original fix is to make the kernel support '\0' as end of string: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/1/16/116 But above fix cannot be compatible with old kernels. Then Namhyung Kim suggest adding a space after function name. This patch will append an '\n' when write tracing file. After this fix, the perf will report correct error state. Also let it print an error if reset_tracing_files() fails.

The machine__set_kernel_mmap() is to setup addresses of the kernel map using external info. But it has a check when the address is given from an incorrect input which should have the start and end address of 0 (i.e. machine__process_kernel_mmap_event). But we also use the end address of 0 for a valid input so change it to check both start and end addresses. Signed-off-by:

In some situations the vfs_getname is being added both as requested and with a _1 suffix (inlines?): probe:vfs_getname_1 (on getname_flags:63@acme/git/linux/fs/namei.c with pathname) This ends up making the cleanup to miss that one, as it removes just 'probe:vfs_getname', which makes the second test to use this probe point to fail, since it finds that leftover from the first test, use a wildcard to remove both.

Using Fedora 27 and latest Linux kernel the test case trace+probe_libc_inet_pton.sh fails again on s390. This time is the inlining of functions which does not match.

On s390 perf can be executed on a LPAR with support for hardware events (i. e. cycles) or on a z/VM or KVM guest where no hardware events are supported. In this environment use software event named cpu-clock for this test case.

The function get_cpuid_str() is called by perf_pmu__getcpuid() and on s390 returns a complete description of the CPU and its capabilities, which is a comma separated list. To map the CPU type with the value defined in the pmu-events/arch/s390/mapfile.csv, introduce an architecture specific cpuid compare function named strcmp_cpuid_str() The currently used regex algorithm is defined as the weak default and will be used if no platform specific one is defined.

The --max-stack option value does not ensure now the limit for number of callchain_cursor nodes, so the cumulative iter code will allocate smaller array than it's actually needed and cause above corruption. I think the --max-stack limit does not apply here anyway, because we add callchain data as normal hist entries, while the --max-stack control the limit of single entry callchain depth. Using the callchain_cursor.nr as he_cache array count to fix this. Also removing struct hist_entry_iter::max_stack, because there's no longer any use for it. We need more fixes to ensure that the branch stack code follows properly the logic of --max-stack, which is not the case at the moment. Original-patch-by:

While applying this I first tested it on a Broadwell class machine and couldn't get those columns, will add code to the annotate browser to warn the user about that, i.e. you have branch records, but no cycles, use a more recent hardware to get the cycles and IPC columns.

There may be discontinuities in the ETM trace stream due to overflows or ETM configuration for selective trace. This patch emits an instruction sample with the pending branch stack when a TRACE ON packet occurs indicating a discontinuity in the trace data. A new packet type CS_ETM_TRACE_ON is added, which is emitted by the low level decoder when a TRACE ON occurs. The higher level decoder flushes the branch stack when this packet is emitted.

Added user space perf functionality to translate CoreSight traces into instruction events with branch stack. To invoke the new functionality, use the perf inject tool with --itrace=il. For example, to translate the ETM trace from perf.data into last branch records in a new inj.data file: $ perf inject --itrace=i100000il128 -i perf.data -o perf.data.new The 'i' parameter to itrace generates periodic instruction events. The period between instruction events can be specified as a number of instructions suffixed by i (default 100000). The parameter to 'l' specifies the number of entries in the branch stack attached to instruction events. The 'b' parameter to itrace generates events on taken branches. This patch also fixes the contents of the branch events used in perf report - previously branch events were generated for each contiguous range of instructions executed. These are fixed to generate branch events between the last address of a range ending in an executed branch instruction and the start address of the next range. Based on patches by Sebastian Pop <s.pop@samsung.com> with additional fixes and support for specifying the instruction period. Originally-by:Sebastian Pop <s.pop@samsung.com> Signed-off-by:

First, 'perf kmem' has a '--force' option, but didn't document it on the man page. So add it. Second, the '--time' option has to get a value, but isn't documented on the man page. Describe it. Signed-off-by:
