This way the print routine merely does printing, not requiring access to
the resolving machinery, which helps disentangling the object files and
easing creating subsets with a limited functionality set.

The recent perf_evsel__fprintf_callchain() move to evsel.c added several
new symbol requirements to the python binding, for instance:
# perf test -v python
16: Try 'import perf' in python, checking link problems :
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 18030
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: /tmp/build/perf/python/perf.so: undefined symbol:
callchain_cursor
test child finished with -1
---- end ----
Try 'import perf' in python, checking link problems: FAILED!
#
This would require linking against callchain.c to access to the global
callchain_cursor variables.
Since lots of functions already receive as a parameter a
callchain_cursor struct pointer, make that be the case for some more
function so that we can start phasing out usage of yet another global
variable.

ordered_events__free() leaves linked lists and timestamps not cleared,

after 'perf record' supports generating multiple perf.data output and

- Automagically create a 'bpf-output' event, easing the setup of BPF
C "scripts" that produce output via the perf ring buffer. Now it is
just a matter of calling any perf tool, such as 'trace', with a C
source file that references the __bpf_stdout__ output channel and
that channel will be created and connected to the script:
# trace -e nanosleep --event test_bpf_stdout.c usleep 1
0.013 ( 0.013 ms): usleep/2818 nanosleep(rqtp: 0x7ffcead45f40 ) ...

0.262 ( ): perf_bpf_probe:func_end:(ffffffff81112460 <- ffffffff81003d92))
0.264 ( 0.264 ms): usleep/2818 ... [continued]: nanosleep()) = 0
#
Further work is needed to reduce the number of lines in a perf bpf C source
file, this being the part where we greatly reduce the command line setup (Wang Nan)
- 'perf trace' now supports callchains, with 'trace --call-graph dwarf' using
libunwind, just like 'perf top', to ask the kernel for stack dumps for CFI
processing. This reduces the overhead by asking just for userspace callchains
and also only for the syscall exit tracepoint (raw_syscalls:sys_exit)
(Milian Wolff, Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
Try it with, for instance:
# perf trace --call dwarf ping 127.0.0.1
An excerpt of a system wide 'perf trace --call dwarf" session is at:
https://fedorapeople.org/~acme/perf/perf-trace--call-graph-dwarf--all-cpus.txt
You may need to bump the number of mmap pages, using -m/--mmap-pages,
but on a Broadwell machine the defaults allowed system wide tracing to
work without losing that many records, experiment with just some
syscalls, like:
# perf trace --call dwarf -e nanosleep,futex
All the targets available for 'perf record', 'perf top' (--pid, --tid, --cpu,
etc) should work. Also --duration may be interesting to try.
To get filenames from in various syscalls pointer args (open, ettc), add this
to the mix:
# perf probe 'vfs_getname=getname_flags:72 pathname=filename:string'
Making this work is next in line:
# trace --call dwarf --ev sched:sched_switch/call-graph=fp/ usleep 1
I.e. honouring per-tracepoint callchains in 'perf trace' in addition to

This patch allows cloning bpf-output event configuration among multiple
bpf scripts. If there exist a map named '__bpf_output__' and not
configured using 'map:__bpf_output__.event=', this patch clones the
configuration of another '__bpf_stdout__' map. For example, following
command:
# perf trace --ev bpf-output/no-inherit,name=evt/ \
--ev ./test_bpf_trace.c/map:__bpf_stdout__.event=evt/ \
--ev ./test_bpf_trace2.c usleep 100000
equals to:
# perf trace --ev bpf-output/no-inherit,name=evt/ \
--ev ./test_bpf_trace.c/map:__bpf_stdout__.event=evt/ \
--ev ./test_bpf_trace2.c/map:__bpf_stdout__.event=evt/ \
usleep 100000

The readdir() function is thread safe as long as just one thread uses a
DIR, which is the case when parsing tracepoint event definitions, to
avoid breaking the build with glibc-2.23.90 (upcoming 2.24), use it
instead of readdir_r().
See: http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/readdir.3.html
"However, in modern implementations (including the glibc implementation),
concurrent calls to readdir() that specify different directory streams
are thread-safe. In cases where multiple threads must read from the
same directory stream, using readdir() with external synchronization is
still preferable to the use of the deprecated readdir_r(3) function."

He Kuang reported a problem that perf fails to get correct symbol on
Android platform in [1]. The problem can be reproduced on normal x86_64
platform. I will describe the reproducing steps in detail at the end of
commit message.
The reason of this problem is the missing of symbol adjustment for normal
shared objects. In most of the cases skipping adjustment is okay. However,
when '.text' section have different 'address' and 'offset' the result is wrong.
I checked all shared objects in my working platform, only wine dll objects and
debug objects (in .debug) have this problem. However, it is common on Android.
For example:
$ readelf -S ./libsurfaceflinger.so | grep \.text
[10] .text PROGBITS 0000000000029030 00012030
This patch enables symbol adjustment for dynamic objects so the symbol
address got from elfutils would be adjusted correctly.
Now nearly all types of ELF files should adjust symbols. Makes
ss->adjust_symbols default to true.
Steps to reproduce the problem:
$ cat ./Makefile
PWD := $(shell pwd)
LDFLAGS += "-Wl,-rpath=$(PWD)"
CFLAGS += -g
main: main.c libbuggy.so
libbuggy.so: buggy.c
gcc -g -shared -fPIC -Wl,-Ttext-segment=0x200000 $< -o $@
clean:
rm -rf main libbuggy.so *.o
$ cat ./buggy.c
int fib(int x)
{
return (x == 0) ? 1 : (x == 1) ? 1 : fib(x - 1) + fib(x - 2);
}
$ cat ./main.c
#include <stdio.h>
extern int fib(int x);
int main()
{
int i;
for (i = 0; i < 40; i++)
printf("%d\n", fib(i));
return 0;
}
$ make
$ perf record ./main
...
$ perf report --stdio
# Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol
# ........ ....... ................. ...............................
#
14.97% main libbuggy.so [.] 0x000000000000066c
8.68% main libbuggy.so [.] 0x00000000000006aa

5.35% main libbuggy.so [.] 0x0000000000000678

The correct result should be (after this patch):

In this patch, the offset of '.text' section is stored into dso
and used here to re-calculate address to objdump.
In most of the cases, executable code is in '.text' section, so the
adjustment made to a symbol in dso__load_sym (using
sym.st_value -= shdr.sh_addr - shdr.sh_offset) should equal to
'sym.st_value -= dso->text_offset'. Therefore, adding text_offset back
get objdump address from symbol address (rip). However, it is not true
for kernel and kernel module since there could be multiple executable
sections with different offset. Exclude kernel for this reason.
After this patch, even dso->adjust_symbols is set to true for shared
objects, map__rip_2objdump() and map__objdump_2mem() would return
correct result, so perf behavior of annotate won't be changed.

We used libaudit to map ids to syscall names and vice-versa, but that
imposes a delay in supporting new syscalls, having to wait for libaudit
to get those new syscalls on its tables.
To remove that delay, for x86_64 initially, grab a copy of
arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscall_64.tbl and use it to generate those
tables.
Syscalls currently not available in audit-libs:
# trace -e copy_file_range,membarrier,mlock2,pread64,pwrite64,timerfd_create,userfaultfd
Error: Invalid syscall copy_file_range, membarrier, mlock2, pread64, pwrite64, timerfd_create, userfaultfd
Hint: try 'perf list syscalls:sys_enter_*'
Hint: and: 'man syscalls'

Tools should use a mechanism similar to arch/x86/entry/syscalls/ to
generate a header file with the definitions for two variables:
static const char *syscalltbl_x86_64[] = {
[0] = "read",
[1] = "write",
<SNIP>
[324] = "membarrier",
[325] = "mlock2",
[326] = "copy_file_range",
};
static const int syscalltbl_x86_64_max_id = 326;
In a per arch file that should then be included in
tools/perf/util/syscalltbl.c.
First one will be for x86_64.

We're using libaudit for doing name to id and id to syscall name
translations, but that makes 'perf trace' to have to wait for newer
libaudit versions supporting recently added syscalls, such as
"userfaultfd" at the time of this changeset.
We have all the information right there, in the kernel sources, so move
this code to a separate place, wrapped behind functions that will
progressively use the kernel source files to extract the syscall table
for use in 'perf trace'.

Intel PT uses the time members from the perf_event_mmap_page to convert
between TSC and perf time.
Due to a lack of foresight when Intel PT was implemented, those time
members were recorded in the (implementation dependent) AUXTRACE_INFO
event, the structure of which is generally inaccessible outside of the
Intel PT decoder. However now the conversion between TSC and perf time
is needed when processing a jitdump file when Intel PT has been used for
tracing.
So add a user event to record the time members. 'perf record' will
synthesize the event if the information is available. And session
processing will put a copy of the event on the session so that tools
like 'perf inject' can easily access it.

for __BYTE_ORDER == __BIG_ENDIAN.
The PowerPC checks were also incorrect, they do not match what gcc
emits. We should first look for __powerpc64__, then __powerpc__.

When using 'perf script' to look at PT traces it is often useful to
ignore the initialization code at the beginning.
On larger traces which may have many millions of instructions in
initialization code doing that in a pipeline can be very slow, with perf
script spending a lot of CPU time calling printf and writing data.
This patch adds an extension to the --itrace argument that skips 'n'
events (instructions, branches or transactions) at the beginning. This
is much more efficient.
v2:
Add support for BTS (Adrian Hunter)
Document in itrace.txt
Fix branch check
Check transactions and instructions too
Committer note:
To test intel_pt one needs to make sure VT-x isn't active, i.e.
stopping KVM guests on the test machine, as described by Andi Kleen

We have some infrastructure to use perl or python to analyze logs
generated by perf. Prior to this patch, only the python tools had
access to backtrace information. This patch makes this information
available to perl scripts as well. Example:
Let's look at malloc() calls made by the seq utility. First we
create a probe point:
$ perf probe -x /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 malloc
Added new events:
...
Now we run seq, while monitoring malloc() calls with perf
$ perf record --call-graph=dwarf -e probe_libc:malloc seq 5
1
2
3
4
5
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.064 MB perf.data (6 samples) ]
We can use perf to look at its log to see the malloc calls and the backtrace
$ perf script
seq 14195 [000] 1927993.748254: probe_libc:malloc: (7f9ff8edd320) bytes=0x22
7f9ff8edd320 malloc (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc-2.22.so)
7f9ff8e8eab0 set_binding_values.part.0 (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc-2.22.so)
7f9ff8e8eda1 __bindtextdomain (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc-2.22.so)
401b22 main (/usr/bin/seq)
7f9ff8e82610 __libc_start_main (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc-2.22.so)
402799 _start (/usr/bin/seq)
...
We can also use the scripting facilities. We create a skeleton perl
script that simply prints out the events
$ perf script -g perl
generated Perl script: perf-script.pl
We can then use this script to see the malloc() calls with a
backtrace. Prior to this patch, the backtrace was not available to
the perl scripts.
$ perf script -s perf-script.pl
probe_libc::malloc 0 1927993.748254260 14195 seq __probe_ip=140325052863264, bytes=34
[7f9ff8edd320] malloc

[7f9ff8e8eda1] __bindtextdomain
[401b22] main
[7f9ff8e82610] __libc_start_main
