      perf evlist: Send the errno in the signal when workload fails · f33cbe72
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored 
      When a tool uses perf_evlist__start_workload and the supplied workload
fails (e.g.: its binary wasn't found), perror was being used to print
the error reason.

This is undesirable, as the caller may be a GUI, when it wants to have
total control of the error reporting process.

So move to using sigaction(SA_SIGINFO) + siginfo_t->sa_value->sival_int
to communicate to the caller the errno and let it print it using the UI
of its choosing.

      perf stat: Don't show counter information when workload fails · 6af206fd
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored 
      When starting a workload 'stat' wasn't using prepare_workload evlist
method's signal based exec() error reporting mechanism.

Use it so that the we don't report 'not counted' counters.

Before:

  [acme@zoo linux]$ perf stat dfadsfa
  dfadsfa: No such file or directory

   Performance counter stats for 'dfadsfa':

       <not counted>      task-clock
       <not counted>      context-switches

      Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/core

Pull perf updates from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

User visible changes:

Improvements:

 * Support showing source code, asking for variables to be collected
   at probe time and other 'perf probe' operations that use DWARF information.

   This supports only binaries with debugging information at this time, detached
   debuginfo (aka debuginfo packages) support should come in later patches.
   (Masami Hiramatsu)

 * Add a perf.data file header window in the 'perf report' TUI, associated
   with the 'i' hotkey, providing a counterpart to the --header option in the
   stdio UI. (Namhyung Kim)

 * Guest related improvements to 'perf kvm', including allowing to
   specify a directory with guest specific /proc information. (Dongsheng Yang)

 * Print session information only if --stdio is given (Namhyung Kim)

Developer stuff:

Fixes:

 * Get rid of a duplicate va_end() in error reporting (Namhyung Kim)

 * If a hist entry doesn't have symbol information, compare it with its
   address. Affects upcoming new feature (--cumulate) (Namhyung Kim)

Improvements:

 * Make libtraceevent install target quieter (Jiri Olsa)

 * Make tests/make output more compact (Jiri Olsa)

 * Ignore generated files in feature-checks (Chunwei Chen)

New APIs:

 * Introduce pevent_filter_strerror() in libtraceevent, similar in
   purpose to libc's strerror() function. (Namhyung Kim)

Refactorings:

 * Use perf_data_file methods to write output file in 'record' and
   'inject' (Jiri Olsa)

 * Use pr_*() functions where applicable in 'report' (Namhyumg Kim)

 * Add 'machine' 'addr_location' struct to have full picture (machine,
   thread, map, symbol, addr) for a (partially) resolved address, reducing
   function signatures (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

 * Reduce code duplication in the histogram entry creation/insertion. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

 * Auto allocate annotation histogram data structures, (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

 * No need to test against NULL before calling free, also set
   freed memory in struct pointers to NULL, to help fixing use after
   free bugs. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo>

      perf: Introduce a flag to enable close-on-exec in perf_event_open() · a21b0b35
      Yann Droneaud authored 
      Unlike recent modern userspace API such as:

  epoll_create1 (EPOLL_CLOEXEC), eventfd (EFD_CLOEXEC),
  fanotify_init (FAN_CLOEXEC), inotify_init1 (IN_CLOEXEC),
  signalfd (SFD_CLOEXEC), timerfd_create (TFD_CLOEXEC),
  or the venerable general purpose open (O_CLOEXEC),

perf_event_open() syscall lack a flag to atomically set FD_CLOEXEC
(eg. close-on-exec) flag on file descriptor it returns to userspace.

The present patch adds a PERF_FLAG_FD_CLOEXEC flag to allow
perf_event_open() syscall to atomically set close-on-exec.

Having this flag will enable userspace to remove the file descriptor
from the list of file descriptors being inherited across exec,
without the need to call fcntl(fd, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) and the
associated race condition between the current thread and another
thread calling fork(2) then execve(2).

      perf/x86/intel: Add Intel RAPL PP1 energy counter support · f228c5b8
      Stephane Eranian authored 
      This patch adds support for the Intel RAPL energy counter
PP1 (Power Plane 1).

On client processors, it usually corresponds to the
energy consumption of the builtin graphic card. That
is why the sysfs event is called energy-gpu.

New event:
 - name: power/energy-gpu/
 - code: event=0x4
 - unit: 2^-32 Joules

On processors without graphics, this should count 0.
The patch only enables this event on client processors.

      perf/x86: Fix active_entry initialization · f3ae75de
      Stephane Eranian authored 
      This patch fixes a problem with the initialization of the
struct perf_event active_entry field. It is defined inside
an anonymous union and was initialized in perf_event_alloc()
using INIT_LIST_HEAD(). However at that time, we do not know
whether the event is going to use active_entry or hlist_entry (SW).
Or at last, we don't want to make that determination there.
The problem is that hlist and list_head are not initialized
the same way. One is okay with NULL (from kzmalloc), the other
needs to pointers to point to self.

This patch resolves this problem by dropping the union.
This will avoid problems later on, if someone starts using
active_entry or hlist_entry without verifying that they
actually overlap. This also solves the initialization
problem.

      perf probe: Support basic dwarf-based operations on uprobe events · fb7345bb
      Masami Hiramatsu authored 
      Support basic dwarf(debuginfo) based operations for uprobe events.  With
this change, perf probe can analyze debuginfo of user application binary
to set up new uprobe event.

This allows perf-probe --add(with local variables, line numbers) and
--line works with -x option.  (Actually, --vars has already accepted -x
option)

For example, the following command shows the probe-able lines of a given
user space function. Something that so far was only available in the
'perf probe' tool for kernel space functions:

  # ./perf probe -x perf --line map__load
  <map__load@/home/fedora/ksrc/linux-2.6/tools/perf/util/map.c:0>
        0  int map__load(struct map *map, symbol_filter_t filter)
        1  {
        2         const char *name = map->dso->long_name;
                  int nr;

        5         if (dso__loaded(map->dso, map->type))
        6                 return 0;

        8         nr = dso__load(map->dso, map, filter);
        9         if (nr < 0) {
       10                 if (map->dso->has_build_id) {

And this shows the available variables at the given line of the
function.

  # ./perf probe -x perf --vars map__load:8
  Available variables at map__load:8
          @<map__load+96>
                  char*   name
                  struct map*     map
                  symbol_filter_t filter
          @<map__find_symbol+112>
                  char*   name
                  symbol_filter_t filter
          @<map__find_symbol_by_name+136>
                  char*   name
                  symbol_filter_t filter
          @<map_groups__find_symbol_by_name+176>
                  char*   name
                  struct map*     map
                  symbol_filter_t filter

And lastly, we can now define probe(s) with all available
variables on the given line:

  # ./perf probe -x perf --add 'map__load:8 $vars'

  Added new events:
    probe_perf:map__load (on map__load:8 with $vars)
    probe_perf:map__load_1 (on map__load:8 with $vars)
    probe_perf:map__load_2 (on map__load:8 with $vars)
    probe_perf:map__load_3 (on map__load:8 with $vars)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

          perf record -e probe_perf:map__load_3 -aR sleep 1

  Changes from previous version:
   - Add examples in the patch description.
   - Use .text section start address and dwarf symbol address
     for calculating the offset of given symbol, instead of
     searching the symbol in symtab again.
     With this change, we can safely handle multiple local
     function instances (e.g. scnprintf in perf).

      perf probe: Expand given path to absolute path · 8a613d40
      Masami Hiramatsu authored 
      Expand given path to absolute path in the option parser, except for a
module name.

Since realpath at later stage in processing several probe point, can be
called several times (even if currently doesn't, it can happen when we
expands the feature), it is waste of the performance.

Processing it once at the early stage can avoid that.

Changes from previous one:
 - Fix not to print null string.
 - Allocate memory for given path/module name everytime.
