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

...
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

getaddrinfo (/usr/lib64/libc-2.17.so)

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.

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.

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
ebebbf0823 ("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

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:

Currently a number of Makefiles break when used with toolchains that
pass extra flags in CC and other cross-compile related variables (such
as --sysroot).
Thus we get this error when we use a toolchain that puts --sysroot in
the CC var:
~/src/linux/tools$ make iio
[snip]
iio_event_monitor.c:18:10: fatal error: unistd.h: No such file or directory
#include <unistd.h>
^~~~~~~~~~
This occurs because we clobber several env vars related to
cross-compiling with lines like this:
CC = $(CROSS_COMPILE)gcc
Although this will point to a valid cross-compiler, we lose any extra
flags that might exist in the CC variable, which can break toolchains
that rely on them (for example, those that use --sysroot).
This easily shows up using a Yocto SDK:
$ . [snip]/sdk/environment-setup-cortexa8hf-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi
$ echo $CC
arm-poky-linux-gnueabi-gcc -march=armv7-a -mfpu=neon -mfloat-abi=hard
-mcpu=cortex-a8
--sysroot=[snip]/sdk/sysroots/cortexa8hf-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi
$ echo $CROSS_COMPILE
arm-poky-linux-gnueabi-
$ echo ${CROSS_COMPILE}gcc
krm-poky-linux-gnueabi-gcc
Although arm-poky-linux-gnueabi-gcc is a cross-compiler, we've lost the
--sysroot and other flags that enable us to find the right libraries to
link against, so we can't find unistd.h and other libraries and headers.
Normally with the --sysroot flag we would find unistd.h in the sdk
directory in the sysroot:
$ find [snip]/sdk/sysroots -path '*/usr/include/unistd.h'
[snip]/sdk/sysroots/cortexa8hf-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi/usr/include/unistd.h
The perf Makefile adds CC = $(CROSS_COMPILE)gcc if and only if CC is not
already set, and it compiles correctly with the above toolchain.
So, generalize the logic that perf uses in the common Makefile and
remove the manual CC = $(CROSS_COMPILE)gcc lines from each Makefile.
Note that this patch does not fix cross-compile for all the tools (some
have other bugs), but it does fix it for all except usb and acpi, which
still have other unrelated issues.
I tested both with and without the patch on native and cross-build and
there appear to be no regressions.

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) 0.161 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.
Committer testing:
Now it prints:
# perf ftrace -a --graph-depth 1 --graph-funcs abcdefg
failed to set tracing filters

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.

To map the CPU type with the value defined in the

For the cumulative output, we allocate the he_cache array based on the
--max-stack option value and populate it with data from 'callchain_cursor'.
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.

The jump arrow in above example is not correct. It should add the
width of IPC and Cycle.
With this patch, the result is:

Committer notes:
Please note that only from LBRv5 (according to Jiri) onwards, i.e. >=
Skylake is that we'll have the cycles counts in each branch record
entry, so to see the Cycles and IPC columns, and be able to test this
patch, one need a capable hardware.
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.

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.

Mathieu Poirier reports issue in commit ("73c0ca1eee3d perf thread_map:
Enumerate all threads from /proc") that it has negative impact on 'perf
record --per-thread'. It has the effect of creating a kernel event for
each thread in the system for 'perf record --per-thread'.
Mathieu Poirier's patch ("perf util: Do not reuse target->per_thread flag")
can fix this issue by creating a new target->all_threads flag.
This patch is based on Mathieu Poirier's patch but it doesn't use a new
target->all_threads flag. This patch just uses 'target->per_thread &&
target->system_wide' as a condition to check for all threads case.

The symbol search called by machine__find_kernel_symbol_by_name is using
internally arch__compare_symbol_names function to compare 2 symbol
names, because different archs have different ways of comparing symbols.
Mostly for skipping '.' prefixes and similar.
In test 1 when we try to find matching symbols in kallsyms and vmlinux,
by address and by symbol name. When either is found we compare the pair
symbol names by simple strcmp, which is not good enough for reasons
explained in previous paragraph.
On powerpc this can cause lockup, because even thought we found the
pair, the compared names are different and don't match simple strcmp.
Following code path is executed, that leads to lockup:
- we find the pair in kallsyms by sym->start
next_pair:
- we compare the names and it fails
- we find the pair by sym->name
- the pair addresses match so we call goto next_pair
because we assume the names match in this case

We should not search for the kernel start address in
__machine__create_kernel_maps(), because it's being used in the 'report'
code path, where we are interested in kernel MMAP data address (the one
recorded via 'perf record', possibly on another machine, or an older or
newer kernel on the same machine where analysis is being performed)
instead of in current kernel address.
The __machine__create_kernel_maps() function serves purely for creating
the machines kernel maps and setting up the kmap group. The report code
path then sets the address based on the data from kernel MMAP event in
the machine__set_kernel_mmap() function.
The kallsyms search address logic is used for test code, that calls
machine__create_kernel_maps() to get current maps and calls
machine__get_running_kernel_start() to get kernel starting address.
Use machine__set_kernel_mmap() to set the kernel maps start address and
moving map_groups__fixup_end to be call when all maps are in place.
Also make __machine__create_kernel_maps static, because there's no
external user.

The current code in dso__load() calls is_regular_file(), but it checks
its return value only after calling symsrc__init().
That can make symsrc__init() block in elf_* functions on reading
the file if the file happens to be device and not regular one.
Call symsrc__init() only for regular files. Also remove the
symsrc__destroy() cleanup, which is not needed now, because we call
symsrc__init() only for regular files.

Introduce a new option to print counts after N milliseconds and update
'perf stat' documentation accordingly.
Show below is the output of the new option for perf stat.
$ perf stat --time 2000 -e cycles -a
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
157,260,423 cycles
2.003060766 seconds time elapsed
We can print the count deltas after N milliseconds with this new
introduced option. This option is not supported with "-I" option.
In addition, according to Kangliang's patch(19afd10410), the
monitoring overhead for system-wide core event could be very high if the
interval-print parameter was below 100ms, and the limitation value is
10ms.
So the same warning will be displayed when the time is set between 10ms
to 100ms, and the minimal time is limited to 10ms. Users can make a
decision according to their spcific cases.
Committer notes:
This actually stops the workload after the specified time, then prints
the counts.
So I renamed the option to --timeout and updated the documentation to
state that it will not just print the counts after the specified time,
but will really stop the 'perf stat' session and print the counts.
The rename from 'time' to 'timeout' also fixes the build in systems
where 'time' is used by glibc and can't be used as a name of a variable,
such as centos:5 and centos:6.
Changes since v3:
- none.
Changes since v2:
- modify the time check in __run_perf_stat func to keep some consistency
with the workload case.
- add the warning when the time is set between 10ms to 100ms.
- add the pr_err when the time is set below 10ms.
Changes since v1:
- none.
