The function prologue prepares stack and registers before executing
function logic.
When target program is compiled without optimization, function parameter
information is only valid after the prologue.
When we probe entrypc of the function, and try to record a function
parameter, it contains a garbage value.
For example:
$ vim test.c
#include <stdio.h>
void foo(int i)
{
printf("i: %d\n", i);
}
int main()
{
foo(42);
return 0;
}
$ gcc -g test.c -o test
$ objdump -dl test | less
foo():
/home/ravi/test.c:4
400536: 55 push %rbp
400537: 48 89 e5 mov %rsp,%rbp
40053a: 48 83 ec 10 sub -bashx10,%rsp
40053e: 89 7d fc mov %edi,-0x4(%rbp)
/home/ravi/test.c:5
400541: 8b 45 fc mov -0x4(%rbp),%eax
...
...
main():
/home/ravi/test.c:9
400558: 55 push %rbp
400559: 48 89 e5 mov %rsp,%rbp
/home/ravi/test.c:10
40055c: bf 2a 00 00 00 mov -bashx2a,%edi
400561: e8 d0 ff ff ff callq 400536 <foo>
$ perf probe -x ./test 'foo i'
$ cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events
p:probe_test/foo /home/ravi/test:0x0000000000000536 i=-12(%sp):s32
$ perf record -e probe_test:foo ./test
$ perf script
test 5778 [001] 4918.562027: probe_test:foo: (400536) i=0
Here variable 'i' is passed via stack which is pushed on stack at
0x40053e. But we are probing at 0x400536.
To resolve this issues, we need to probe on next instruction after
prologue. gdb and systemtap also does same thing. I've implemented this
patch based on approach systemtap has used.
After applying patch:
$ perf probe -x ./test 'foo i'
$ cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events
p:probe_test/foo /home/ravi/test:0x0000000000000541 i=-4(%bp):s32
$ perf record -e probe_test:foo ./test
$ perf script
test 6300 [001] 5877.879327: probe_test:foo: (400541) i=42
No need to skip prologue for optimized case since debug info is correct
for each instructions for -O2 -g. For more details please visit:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=612253#c6
Changes in v2:
- Skipping prologue only when any ARG is either C variable, $params or
$vars.
- Probe on line(:1) may not be always possible. Recommend only address
to force probe on function entry.
Committer notes:
Testing it with 'perf trace':
# perf probe -x ./test foo i
Added new event:
probe_test:foo (on foo in /home/acme/c/test with i)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe_test:foo -aR sleep 1
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events
p:probe_test/foo /home/acme/c/test:0x0000000000000526 i=-12(%sp):s32
# trace --no-sys --event probe_*:* ./test
i: 42
0.000 probe_test:foo:(400526) i=0)
#
After the patch:
# perf probe -d *:*
Removed event: probe_test:foo
# perf probe -x ./test foo i
Target program is compiled without optimization. Skipping prologue.
Probe on address 0x400526 to force probing at the function entry.
Added new event:
probe_test:foo (on foo in /home/acme/c/test with i)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe_test:foo -aR sleep 1

Introduce helper function instead of inline code and replace hardcoded
strings "$vars" and "$params" with their corresponding macros.
perf_probe_with_var() is not declared as static since it will be called

When we call symbol__fixup_duplicate() we use algorithms to pick the
"best" symbols for cases where there are various functions/aliases to an
address, and those check zero size symbols, which, before calling
symbol__fixup_end() are _all_ symbols in a just parsed kallsyms file.
So first fixup the end, then fixup the duplicates.
Found while trying to figure out why 'perf test vmlinux' failed, see the
output of 'perf test -v vmlinux' to see cases where the symbols picked
as best for vmlinux don't match the ones picked for kallsyms.

Support probing on offline cross-architecture binary by adding getting
the target machine arch from ELF and choose correct register string for
the machine.
Here is an example:
-----
$ perf probe --vmlinux=./vmlinux-arm --definition 'do_sys_open $params'
p:probe/do_sys_open do_sys_open+0 dfd=%r5:s32 filename=%r1:u32 flags=%r6:s32 mode=%r3:u16
-----
Here, we can get probe/do_sys_open from above and append it to to the target
machine's tracing/kprobe_events file in the tracefs mountput, usually
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events (or /sys/kernel/tracing/kprobe_events).

Ignore the buildid of running kernel when both of --definition and
--vmlinux is given because that kernel should be off-line.
This also skips post-processing of kprobe event for relocating symbol
and checking blacklist, because it can not be done on off-line kernel.
E.g. without this fix perf shows an error as below
----
$ perf probe --vmlinux=./vmlinux-arm --definition do_sys_open
./vmlinux-arm with build id 7a1f76dd56e9c4da707cd3d6333f50748141434b not found, continuing without symbols
Failed to find symbol do_sys_open in kernel

The symbols in the synthesized @plt entries where not demangled before,
i.e. we could end up with entries such as:
$ perf report

Children Self Command Shared Object Symbol
- 93.63% 28.89% lab_mandelbrot lab_mandelbrot [.] main

- 33.57% hypot
27.76% __hypot_finite
15.97% __muldc3
2.90% __muldc3@plt
2.40% _ZNK6QImage6heightEv@plt
+ 2.14% QColor::rgb
1.94% _ZNK6QImage5widthEv@plt
1.92% cabs@plt
This patch remedies this issue by also applying demangling to the
synthesized symbols. The output for the above is now:

We need to initializa some fields (right now just a mutex) when we
allocate the per symbol annotation struct, so do it at the symbol
constructor instead of (ab)using the filter mechanism for that.
This way we remove one of the few cases we have for that symbol filter,
which will eventually led to removing it.

We have to check if the values are >= *_MAX, not just >, fix it.
From the bugzilla report:
''In file /tools/perf/util/evsel.c function __perf_evsel__hw_cache_name
it appears that there is a bug that reads beyond the end of the buffer.
The statement "if (type > PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_MAX)" allows type to be
equal to the maximum value. Later, when statement "if
(!perf_evsel__is_cache_op_valid(type, op))" is executed, the function
can access array perf_evsel__hw_cache_stat[type] beyond the end of the
buffer.
It appears to me that the statement "if (type > PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_MAX)"
should be "if (type >= PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_MAX)"
Bug found with Coverity and manual code review. No attempts were made to
execute the code with a maximum type value.''

Commit 73cdf0c6ea9c ("perf symbols: Record text offset in dso
to calculate objdump address") started storing the offset of
the text section for all DSOs:
if (elf_section_by_name(elf, &ehdr, &tshdr, ".text", NULL))
dso->text_offset = tshdr.sh_addr - tshdr.sh_offset;
Unfortunately this breaks debuginfo files, because we need to calculate
the offset of the text section in the associated executable file. As a
result perf annotate returns junk for all debuginfo files.
Fix this by using runtime_ss->elf which should point at the executable
when parsing a debuginfo file.

The June 2015 Intel SDM introduced IP Compression types 4 and 6. Refer
to section 36.4.2.2 Target IP (TIP) Packet - IP Compression.
Existing Intel PT packet decoder did not support type 4, and got type 6
wrong. Because type 3 and type 4 have the same number of bytes, the
packet 'count' has been changed from being the number of ip bytes to
being the type code. That allows the Intel PT decoder to correctly
decide whether to sign-extend or use the last ip. However that also
meant the code had to be adjusted in a number of places.
Currently hardware is not using the new compression types, so this fix
has no effect on existing hardware.

Powerpc has Global Entry Point and Local Entry Point for functions. LEP
catches call from both the GEP and the LEP. Symbol table of ELF contains
GEP and Offset from which we can calculate LEP, but debuginfo does not
have LEP info.
Currently, perf prioritize symbol table over dwarf to probe on LEP for
ppc64le. But when user tries to probe with function parameter, we fall
back to using dwarf(i.e. GEP) and when function called via LEP, probe
will never hit.
For example:
$ objdump -d vmlinux
...
do_sys_open():
c0000000002eb4a0: e8 00 4c 3c addis r2,r12,232
c0000000002eb4a4: 60 00 42 38 addi r2,r2,96
c0000000002eb4a8: a6 02 08 7c mflr r0
c0000000002eb4ac: d0 ff 41 fb std r26,-48(r1)
$ sudo ./perf probe do_sys_open
$ sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
p:probe/do_sys_open _text+3060904
$ sudo ./perf probe 'do_sys_open filename:string'
$ sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
p:probe/do_sys_open _text+3060896 filename_string=+0(%gpr4):string
For second case, perf probed on GEP. So when function will be called via
LEP, probe won't hit.
$ sudo ./perf record -a -e probe:do_sys_open ls
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.195 MB perf.data ]
To resolve this issue, let's not prioritize symbol table, let perf
decide what it wants to use. Perf is already converting GEP to LEP when
it uses symbol table. When perf uses debuginfo, let it find LEP offset
form symbol table. This way we fall back to probe on LEP for all cases.
After patch:
$ sudo ./perf probe 'do_sys_open filename:string'
$ sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
p:probe/do_sys_open _text+3060904 filename_string=+0(%gpr4):string
$ sudo ./perf record -a -e probe:do_sys_open ls
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]

The 'perf probe' tool detects a variable's type and use the detected
type to add a new probe. Then, kprobes prints its variable in
hexadecimal format if the variable is unsigned and prints in decimal if
it is signed.
We sometimes want to see unsigned variable in decimal format (i.e.
sector_t or size_t). In that case, we need to investigate the variable's
size manually to specify just signedness.
This patch add signedness casting support. By specifying "s" or "u" as a
type, perf-probe will investigate variable size as usual and use the
specified signedness.
E.g. without this:
$ perf probe -a 'submit_bio bio->bi_iter.bi_sector'
Added new event:
probe:submit_bio (on submit_bio with bi_sector=bio->bi_iter.bi_sector)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:submit_bio -aR sleep 1
$ cat trace_pipe|head
dbench-9692 [003] d..1 971.096633: submit_bio: (submit_bio+0x0/0x140) bi_sector=0x3a3d00
dbench-9692 [003] d..1 971.096685: submit_bio: (submit_bio+0x0/0x140) bi_sector=0x1a3d80
dbench-9692 [003] d..1 971.096687: submit_bio: (submit_bio+0x0/0x140) bi_sector=0x3a3d80
...
// need to investigate the variable size
$ perf probe -a 'submit_bio bio->bi_iter.bi_sector:s64'
Added new event:
probe:submit_bio (on submit_bio with bi_sector=bio->bi_iter.bi_sector:s64)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:submit_bio -aR sleep 1
With this:
// just use "s" to cast its signedness
$ perf probe -v -a 'submit_bio bio->bi_iter.bi_sector:s'
Added new event:
probe:submit_bio (on submit_bio with bi_sector=bio->bi_iter.bi_sector:s)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:submit_bio -aR sleep 1
$ cat trace_pipe|head
dbench-9689 [001] d..1 1212.391237: submit_bio: (submit_bio+0x0/0x140) bi_sector=128

dbench-9697 [006] d..1 1212.398611: submit_bio: (submit_bio+0x0/0x140) bi_sector=30208
This commit also update perf-probe.txt to describe "types". Most parts
are based on existing documentation: Documentation/trace/kprobetrace.txt

When we use libtraceevent to format trace event fields into printable
strings to use in hist entries it is important to trim it from the
default 4 KiB it starts with to what is really used, to reduce the
memory footprint, so use realloc(seq.buffer, seq.len + 1) when returning
the seq.buffer formatted with the fields contents.

If dso__build_id_filename(..., NULL, ...) returns !NULL its because it
allocated it, so, when reaching the 'if (dso__is_kcore()) test, we
already checked that and were just "fallbacking" to using
dso->long_name, but without freeing filename, thus leaking it.
Fix it by adding the dso__is_kcore() test to the 'or' group just after
it, the one containing the full fallback code, including freeing the
filename.

We were just using pr_error() which makes it difficult for non stdio UIs
to provide errors using its widgets, as they need to somehow catch what
was passed to pr_error().
Fix it by introducing a __strerror() interface like the ones used
elsewhere, for instance target__strerror().
This is just the initial step, more work will be done, but first some
error handling bugs noticed while working on this need to be dealt with.

This function will not annotate anything, it will just disassembly the
given map->dso and symbol.
It currently does this by parsing the output of 'objdump --disassemble',
but this could conceivably be done using a library or an offshot of
the kernel's instruction decoder (arch/x86/lib/inat.c), etc.

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
- Replace pcommit with ADR / directed-flushing.
The pcommit instruction, which has not shipped on any product, is
deprecated. Instead, the requirement is that platforms implement
either ADR, or provide one or more flush addresses per nvdimm.
ADR (Asynchronous DRAM Refresh) flushes data in posted write buffers
to the memory controller on a power-fail event.
Flush addresses are defined in ACPI 6.x as an NVDIMM Firmware
Interface Table (NFIT) sub-structure: "Flush Hint Address Structure".
A flush hint is an mmio address that when written and fenced assures
that all previous posted writes targeting a given dimm have been
flushed to media.
- On-demand ARS (address range scrub).
Linux uses the results of the ACPI ARS commands to track bad blocks
in pmem devices. When latent errors are detected we re-scrub the
media to refresh the bad block list, userspace can also request a
re-scrub at any time.
- Support for the Microsoft DSM (device specific method) command
format.
- Support for EDK2/OVMF virtual disk device memory ranges.
- Various fixes and cleanups across the subsystem.
