      perf probe: Fix segfault when probe with lazy_line to file · f19e80c6
      He Kuang authored
      The first argument passed to find_probe_point_lazy() should be CU die,
      which will be passed to die_walk_lines() when lazy_line matches.
      Currently, when we probe with lazy_line pattern to file without function
      name, NULL pointer is passed and causes a segment fault.
      
      Can be reproduced as following:
      
        $ perf probe -k vmlinux --add='fs/super.c;s->s_count=1;'
        [ 1958.984658] perf[1020]: segfault at 10 ip 00007fc6e10d8c71 sp
        00007ffcbfaaf900 error 4 in libdw-0.161.so[7fc6e10ce000+34000]
        Segmentation fault
      
      After this patch:
      
        $ perf probe -k vmlinux --add='fs/super.c;s->s_count=1;'
        Added new event:
        probe:_stext         (on @fs/super.c)
      
        You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
          perf record -e probe:_stext -aR sleep 1

      perf probe: Find compilation directory path for lazy matching · 09ed8975
      Naohiro Aota authored
      If we use lazy matching, it failed to open a souce file if perf command
      is invoked outside of compilation directory:
      
      $ perf probe -a '__schedule;clear_*'
      Failed to open kernel/sched/core.c: No such file or directory
        Error: Failed to add events. (-2)
      
      OTOH, other commands like "probe -L" can solve the souce directory by
      themselves. Let's make it possible for lazy matching too!

      perf probe: Set retprobe flag when probe in address-based alternative mode · 9d7b45c5
      He Kuang authored
      When perf probe searched in a debuginfo file and failed, it tried with
      an alternative, in function get_alternative_probe_event():
      
              memcpy(tmp, &pev->point, sizeof(*tmp));
              memset(&pev->point, 0, sizeof(pev->point));
      
      In this case, it drops the retprobe flag and forgets to set it back in
      find_alternative_probe_point(), so the problem occurs.
      
      Can be reproduced as following:
      
        $ perf probe -v -k vmlinux --add='sys_write%return'
        ...
        Added new event:
        Writing event: p:probe/sys_write _stext+1584952
          probe:sys_write      (on sys_write%return)
      
        $ cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
        p:probe/sys_write _stext+1584952
      
      After this patch:

      perf kmem: Analyze page allocator events also · 0d68bc92
      Namhyung Kim authored
      The perf kmem command records and analyze kernel memory allocation only
      for SLAB objects.  This patch implement a simple page allocator analyzer
      using kmem:mm_page_alloc and kmem:mm_page_free events.
      
      It adds two new options of --slab and --page.  The --slab option is for
      analyzing SLAB allocator and that's what perf kmem currently does.
      
      The new --page option enables page allocator events and analyze kernel
      memory usage in page unit.  Currently, 'stat --alloc' subcommand is
      implemented only.
      
      If none of these --slab nor --page is specified, --slab is implied.
      
      First run 'perf kmem record' to generate a suitable perf.data file:
      
        # perf kmem record --page sleep 5
      
      Then run 'perf kmem stat' to postprocess the perf.data file:
      
        # perf kmem stat --page --alloc --line 10

      tracing, mm: Record pfn instead of pointer to struct page · 9fdd8a87
      Namhyung Kim authored
      The struct page is opaque for userspace tools, so it'd be better to save
      pfn in order to identify page frames.
      
      The textual output of $debugfs/tracing/trace file remains unchanged and
      only raw (binary) data format is changed - but thanks to libtraceevent,
      userspace tools which deal with the raw data (like perf and trace-cmd)
      can parse the format easily.  So impact on the userspace will also be
      minimal.

      perf report: Don't call map__kmap if map is NULL. · f6fcc143
      Wang Nan authored
      report__warn_kptr_restrict() calls map__kmap(kernel_map) before checking
      kernel_map againest NULL.
      
      Which is dangerous, since map__kmap() will return a invalid and not NULL
      address.
      
      It will trigger a warning message in map__kmap() after the patch "perf:
      kmaps: enforce usage of kmaps to protect futher bugs." was applied.
      
      This patch fixes it by adding the missing checking.

      Commit 9b118aca ("perf probe: Fix to
      handle aliased symbols in glibc") uses an absolute format '%lx' to
      print u64 argument, which causes compiling error on ARM 32.
      
      This patch replaces it with PRIx64.

      perf tools: Merge all perf_event_attr print functions · 2c5e8c52
      Peter Zijlstra authored
      Currently there's 3 (that I found) different and incomplete
      implementations of printing perf_event_attr.
      
      This is quite silly. Merge the lot.
      
      While this patch does not retain the exact form all printing that I
      found is debug output and thus it should not be critical.
      
      Also, I cannot find a single print_event_desc() caller.

      perf record: Add clockid parameter · 814c8c38
      Peter Zijlstra authored
      Teach perf-record about the new perf_event_attr::{use_clockid, clockid}
      fields. Add a simple parameter to set the clock (if any) to be used for
      the events to be recorded into the data file.
      
      Since we store the entire perf_event_attr in the EVENT_DESC section we
      also already store the used clockid in the data file.

      perf sched replay: Use replay_repeat to calculate the runavg of cpu usage... · ff5f3bbd
      Yunlong Song authored
      perf sched replay: Use replay_repeat to calculate the runavg of cpu usage instead of the default value 10
      
      Since sched->replay_repeat is set to 10 as default, the sched->run_avg,
      sched->runavg_cpu_usage, and sched->runavg_parent_cpu_usage all use
      10 to calculate their value.
      
      However, the replay_repeat can be changed to other value by using -r
      option, so the calculation above should use replay_repeat to achieve
      more accurate results instead of the default value 10.

      perf sched replay: Support using -f to override perf.data file ownership · f0dd330f
      Yunlong Song authored
      Enable to use perf.data when it is not owned by current user or root.
      
      Example:

      perf sched replay: Fix the EMFILE error caused by the limitation of the maximum open files · 939cda52
      Yunlong Song authored
      The soft maximum number of open files for a calling process is 1024,
      which is defined as INR_OPEN_CUR in include/uapi/linux/fs.h, and the
      hard maximum number of open files for a calling process is 4096, which
      is defined as INR_OPEN_MAX in include/uapi/linux/fs.h.
      
      Both INR_OPEN_CUR and INR_OPEN_MAX are used to limit the value of
      RLIMIT_NOFILE in include/asm-generic/resource.h.
      
      And the soft maximum number finally decides the limitation of the
      maximum files which are allowed to be opened.
      
      That is to say a process can use at most 1024 file descriptors for its
      o pened files, or an EMFILE error will happen.
      
      This error can be fixed by increasing the soft maximum number, under the
      constraint that the soft maximum number can not exceed the hard maximum
      number, or both soft and hard maximum number should be increased
      simultaneously with privilege.
      
      For perf sched replay, it uses sys_perf_event_open to create the file
      descriptor for each of the tasks in order to handle information of perf
      events.
      
      That is to say each task needs a unique file descriptor. In x86_64,
      there may be over 1024 or 4096 tasks correspoinding to the record in
      perf.data, which causes that no enough file descriptors can be used.
      
      As a result, EMFILE error happens and stops the replay process. To solve
      this problem, we adaptively increase the soft and hard maximum number of
      open files with a '-f' option.
      
      Example:
      
      Test environment: x86_64 with 160 cores
      
       $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
       163840
       $ cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max

       $ ulimit -Sn
       1024
       $ ulimit -Hn

      perf sched replay: Handle the dead halt of sem_wait when create_tasks() fails for any task · 1aff59be
      Yunlong Song authored
      Since there is sem_wait for each task in the wait_for_tasks(), e.g.
      sem_wait(&task->work_done_sem).
      
      The sem_wait can continue only when work_done_sem is greater than 0, or
      it will be blocked.
      
      For perf sched replay, one task may sem_post the work_done_sem of
      another task, which causes the work_done_sem of that task processed in a
      reasonable sequence, e.g. sem_post, sem_wait, sem_wait, sem_post...
      
      This sequence simulates the sched process of the running tasks at the
      time when perf sched record runs.
      
      As a result, all the tasks are required and their threads must be
      successfully created.
      
      If any one (task A) of the tasks fails to create its thread, then
      another task (task B), whose work_done_sem needs sem_post from that
      failed task A, may likely block itself due to seg_wait.
      
      And this is a dead halt, since task B's thread_func cannot continue at
      all.
      
      To solve this problem, perf sched replay should exit once any task fails
      to create its thread.
      
      Example:
      
      Test environment: x86_64 with 160 cores
      
      Before this patch:

      perf sched replay: Fix the segmentation fault problem caused by pr_err in threads · 08097abc
      Yunlong Song authored
      The pr_err in self_open_counters() prints error message to stderr.
      Unlike stdout, stderr uses memory buffer on the stack of each calling
      process.
      
      The pr_err in self_open_counters() works in a thread called thread_func
      created in function create_tasks, which concurrently creates
      sched->nr_tasks threads.
      
      If the error happens and pr_err prints the error message in each of
      these threads, the stack size of the perf process (default is 8192
      kbytes) will quickly run out and the segmentation fault will happen
      then.
      
      To solve this problem, pr_err with self_open_counters() should be moved
      from newly created threads to the old main thread of the perf process.
      Then the pr_err can work in a stable situation without the strange
      segmentation fault problem.
      
      Example:
      
      Test environment: x86_64 with 160 cores
      
      Before this patch:
      
       $ perf sched replay
       ...
       task   1549 (             :163132:    163132), nr_events: 1
       task   1550 (             :163540:    163540), nr_events: 1
       task   1551 (           <unknown>:         0), nr_events: 10
       Segmentation fault
      
      After this patch:
      
       $ perf sched replay
       ...
       task   1549 (             :163132:    163132), nr_events: 1
       task   1550 (             :163540:    163540), nr_events: 1
       task   1551 (           <unknown>:         0), nr_events: 10
       ...
      
      As shown above, the result continues without any segmentation fault.

      perf sched replay: Realloc the memory of pid_to_task stepwise to adapt to the different pid_max configurations
      
      Although the memory of pid_to_task can be allocated via calloc according
      to the value of /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max, it cannot handle the case when
      pid_max is changed after 'perf sched record' has created its perf.data.
      
      If the new pid_max configured in 'perf sched replay' is smaller than the
      old pid_max configured in 'perf sched record', then it will cause the
      assertion failure problem.
      
      To solve this problem, we realloc the memory of pid_to_task stepwise
      once the passed-in pid parameter in register_pid is larger than the
      current pid_max.
      
      Example:
      
      Test environment: x86_64 with 160 cores
      
       $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
       163840
       $ perf sched record ls
       $ echo 5000 > /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
       $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
       5000

      perf sched replay: Alloc the memory of pid_to_task dynamically to adapt to the unexpected change of pid_max
      
      The current memory allocation of struct task_desc *pid_to_task[MAX_PID]
      is in a permanent and preset way, and it has two problems:
      
      Problem 1: If the pid_max, which is the max number of pids in the
      system, is much smaller than MAX_PID (1024*1000), then it causes a waste
      of stack memory. This may happen in the case where the number of cpu
      cores is much smaller than 1000.
      
      Problem 2: If the pid_max is changed from the default value to a value
      larger than MAX_PID, then it will cause assertion failure problem. The
      maximum value of pid_max can be set to pid_max_max (see pidmap_init
      defined in kernel/pid.c), which equals to PID_MAX_LIMIT. In x86_64,
      PID_MAX_LIMIT is 4*1024*1024 (defined in include/linux/threads.h). This
      value is much larger than MAX_PID, and will take up 32768 Kbytes
      (4*1024*1024*8/1024) for memory allocation of pid_to_task, which is much
      larger than the default 8192 Kbytes of the stack size of calling
      process.
      
      Due to these two problems, we use calloc to allocate the memory of
      pid_to_task dynamically.
      
      Example:
      
      Test environment: x86_64 with 160 cores
      
       $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
       163840
       $ echo 1025000 > /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
       $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
       1025000
      
      Run some applications until the pid of some process is greater than
      the value of MAX_PID (1024*1000).

      perf sched replay: Increase the MAX_PID value to fix assertion failure problem · a35e27d0
      Yunlong Song authored
      Current MAX_PID is only 65536, which will cause assertion failure problem
      when CPU cores are more than 64 in x86_64.
      
      This is because the pid_max value in x86_64 is at least
      PIDS_PER_CPU_DEFAULT * num_possible_cpus() (see function pidmap_init
      defined in kernel/pid.c), where PIDS_PER_CPU_DEFAULT is 1024 (defined in
      include/linux/threads.h).
      
      Thus for MAX_PID = 65536, the correspoinding CPU cores are
      65536/1024=64.  This is obviously not enough at all for x86_64, and will
      cause an assertion failure problem due to BUG_ON(pid >= MAX_PID) in the
      codes.
      
      We increase MAX_PID value from 65536 to 1024*1000, which can be used in
      x86_64 with 1000 cores.
      
      This number is finally decided according to the limitation of stack size
      of calling process.
      
      Use 'ulimit -a', the result shows the stack size of any process is 8192
      Kbytes, which is defined in include/uapi/linux/resource.h (#define
      _STK_LIM (8*1024*1024)).
      
      Thus we choose a large enough value for MAX_PID, and make it satisfy to
      the limitation of the stack size, i.e., making the perf process take up
      a memory space just smaller than 8192 Kbytes.
      
      We have calculated and tested that 1024*1000 is OK for MAX_PID.
      
      This means perf sched replay can now be used with at most 1000 cores in
      x86_64 without any assertion failure problem.
      
      Example:
      
      Test environment: x86_64 with 160 cores
      
       $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
       163840

      tools lib traceevent: Honor operator priority · 3201f0dc
      Namhyung Kim authored
      Currently it ignores operator priority and just sets processed args as a
      right operand.  But it could result in priority inversion in case that
      the right operand is also a operator arg and its priority is lower.
      
      For example, following print format is from new kmem events.
      
        "page=%p", REC->pfn != -1UL ? (((struct page *)(0xffffea0000000000UL)) + (REC->pfn)) : ((void *)0)
      
      But this was treated as below:
      
        REC->pfn != ((null - 1UL) ? ((struct page *)0xffffea0000000000UL + REC->pfn) : (void *) 0)
      
      In this case, the right arg was '?' operator which has lower priority.
      But it just sets the whole arg so making the output confusing - page was
      always 0 or 1 since that's the result of logical operation.
      
      With this patch, it can handle it properly like following:
      
        ((REC->pfn != (null - 1UL)) ? ((struct page *)0xffffea0000000000UL + REC->pfn) : (void *) 0)
