perf evlist: Explicititely initialize input_name

It was a global variable, so it was initialized, implicitely, to zero by
being placed in the bss.

Now it is just a local variable that is then passed to the __cmd_evlist
routine, so it must be explicitely set to NULL.

The problem manifested on a Fedora 17 system, using:

 gcc version 4.7.0 20120507 (Red Hat 4.7.0-5) (GCC)

But not on several other systems, by luck.

12 years agoRevert "sched, perf: Use a single callback into the scheduler"
Jiri Olsa [Wed, 23 May 2012 11:13:02 +0000 (13:13 +0200)]
Revert "sched, perf: Use a single callback into the scheduler"

This reverts commit cb04ff9ac424 ("sched, perf: Use a single
callback into the scheduler").

Before this change was introduced, the process switch worked
like this (wrt. to perf event schedule):

     schedule (prev, next)
       - schedule out all perf events for prev
       - switch to next
       - schedule in all perf events for current (next)

After the commit, the process switch looks like:

     schedule (prev, next)
       - schedule out all perf events for prev
       - schedule in all perf events for (next)
       - switch to next

The problem is, that after we schedule perf events in, the pmu
is enabled and we can receive events even before we make the
switch to next - so "current" still being prev process (event
SAMPLE data are filled based on the value of the "current"
process).

Thats exactly what we see for test__PERF_RECORD test. We receive
SAMPLES with PID of the process that our tracee is scheduled
from.

Discussed with Peter Zijlstra:

 > Bah!, yeah I guess reverting is the right thing for now. Sad
 > though.
 >
 > So by having the two hooks we have a black-spot between them

perf buildid-list: Work better with pipe mode

In order for perf buildid-list to work with pipe-mode files, it needs to
process buildids and event attr structs.

$ perf record -o - noploop 2 | ./perf inject -b | perf buildid-list -i - -H
noploop for 2 seconds
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]

3a0d0629efe74a8da3eeba372cdbd74ad9b8f5d5 /usr/local/bin/noploop

The reason [kernel.kallsyms] shows a 0 build-id comes from the
way buildids are injected in the stream.

The buildid for the kernel is provided by a BUILD_ID record. The
[kernel.kallsyms] is provided by a MMAP record. There is no clean and
obvious way to link the two, unfortunately.

In regular mode, the kernel buildid is generated from reading the ELF
image or kallsyms and perf knows to associate [kernel.kallsyms] to it.
Later on, when perf processes the [kernel.kallsyms] MMAP record, it will
already have a dso for it.

So for now, make sure perf buildid-list shows the buildids for
everything but the kernel image.

perf tools: Fix piped mode read code

In __perf_session__process_pipe_events(), there was a risk we would read
more than what a union perf_event struct can hold. this could happen in
case, perf is reading a file which contains new record types it does not
know about and which are larger than anything it knows about.

In general, perf is supposed to skip records it does not understand, but
in pipe mode, those have to be read and ignored.  The fixed size header
contains the size of the record, but that size may be larger than union
perf_event, yet it was used as the backing to the read in:

  union perf_event event;
  void *p;

  size = event->header.size;

  p = &event;
  p += sizeof(struct perf_event_header);
  if (size - sizeof(struct perf_event_header)) {
    err = readn(self->fd, p, size - sizeof(struct perf_event_header));

We fix this by allocating a buffer based on the size reported in the
header. We reuse the buffer as much as we can. We realloc in case it
becomes too small. In the  common case, the performance impact is
negligible.

perf inject: Fix broken perf inject -b

perf inject -b was broken. It would not inject any build_id into the
stream. Furthermore, it would strip samples from the stream.

The reason was a missing initialization of the event attribute
structure. The perf_tool.tool.attr() callback was pointing to a simple
repipe. But there was no initialization of the internal data structures
to keep track of events and event ids. That later caused event id
lookups to fail, and sample would get removed.

The patch simply adds back the call to perf_event__process_attr() to
initialize the evlist structure and now build_ids are again injected.

perf tools: Carry perf_event_attr bitfield throught different endians

When the perf data file is read cross architectures, the
perf_event__attr_swap function takes care about endianness of all the
struct fields except the bitfield flags.

The bitfield flags need to be transformed as well, since the bitfield
binary storage differs for both endians.

ABI says:
  Bit-fields are allocated from right to left (least to most significant)
  on little-endian implementations and from left to right (most to least
  significant) on big-endian implementations.

The above seems to be byte specific, so we need to reverse each byte of
the bitfield. 'Internet' also says this might be implementation specific
and we probably need proper fix and carry perf_event_attr bitfield flags
in separate data file FEAT_ section. Thought this seems to work for now.

Note, running following to test perf endianity handling:
test 1)
  - origin system:
    # perf record -a -- sleep 10 (any perf record will do)
    # perf report > report.origin
    # perf archive perf.data

  - copy the perf.data, report.origin and perf.data.tar.bz2
    to a target system and run:
    # tar xjvf perf.data.tar.bz2 -C ~/.debug
    # perf report > report.target
    # diff -u report.origin report.target

  - the diff should produce no output
    (besides some white space stuff and possibly different
     date/TZ output)

test 2)
  - origin system:
    # perf record -ag -fo /tmp/perf.data -- sleep 1
  - mount origin system root to the target system on /mnt/origin

ftrace: Remove selecting FRAME_POINTER with FUNCTION_TRACER

The function tracer will enable the -pg option with gcc, which requires
that frame pointers. When FRAME_POINTER is defined in the kernel config
it adds the gcc option -fno-omit-frame-pointer which causes some problems
on some architectures. For those architectures, the FRAME_POINTER select
was not set.

When FUNCTION_TRACER was selected on these architectures that can not have
-fno-omit-frame-pointer, the -pg option is still set. But when
FRAME_POINTER is not selected, the kernel config would add the gcc option
-fomit-frame-pointer. Adding this option is incompatible with -pg
even on archs that do not need frame pointers with -pg.

The answer to this was to just not add either -fno-omit-frame-pointer
or -fomit-frame-pointer on these archs that want function tracing
but do not set FRAME_POINTER.

As it turns out, for archs that require frame pointers for function
tracing, the same can be used. If gcc requires frame pointers with
-pg, it will simply add it. The best thing to do is not select FRAME_POINTER
when function tracing is selected, and let gcc add it if needed.

Only add the -fno-omit-frame-pointer when something else selects
FRAME_POINTER, but do not add -fomit-frame-pointer if function tracing
is selected.

two counting modes to count either cycles or micro-ops. If the
corresponding performance counter events (hw events) are setup with
the precise flag set, the request is redirected to the ibs pmu:

 perf record -a -e cpu-cycles:p ...    # use ibs op counting cycle count

 perf record -a -e r0C1:p ...          # use ibs op counting micro-ops

Each ibs sample contains a linear address that points to the
instruction that was causing the sample to trigger. With ibs we have
skid 0. Thus, ibs supports precise levels 1 and 2. Samples are marked
with the PERF_EFLAGS_EXACT flag set. In rare cases the rip is invalid
when IBS was not able to record the rip correctly. Then the
PERF_EFLAGS_EXACT flag is cleared and the rip is taken from pt_regs.
