git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/urgent
Pull perf/urgent fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
- tracepoint_error() can receive e=NULL, robustify it, fixes a problem noticed
with a very specific combination: Machine with Intel PT (e.g. Broadwell),
kernel with no perf_event_attr.context_switch feature (e.g. 4.2) and unreadable
tracefs (for instance !root users), making the fallback from
perf_event_attr.context_switch to the sched:sched_switch tracepoint to fail
reading its info from tracefs, fix it. (Adrian Hunter)
- Fix segfault in intel PT, by making it follow the 'struct thread' lifetime cycle
checking expectations, noticed for instance, when processing perf.data files with
Intel PT data using 'perf script' and when exiting 'perf report' (Adrian Hunter)
- Fix CFI usage from .eh_frame and .debug_frame, which sometimes requires that we
fallback from .eh_frame to .debug_frame in architectures such as PowerPC (Hemant Kumar)

We broke interval data displays with commit:
3f416f22d1e2 ("perf stat: Do not clean event's private stats")
This commit removed stats cleaning, which is important for '-r' option
to carry counters data over the whole run. But it's necessary to clean
it for interval mode, otherwise the displayed value is avg of all
previous values.
Before:
$ perf stat -e cycles -a -I 1000 record
# time counts unit events
1.000240796 75,216,287 cycles
2.000512791 107,823,524 cycles
$ perf stat report
# time counts unit events
1.000240796 75,216,287 cycles
2.000512791 91,519,906 cycles
Now:
$ perf stat report
# time counts unit events
1.000240796 75,216,287 cycles
2.000512791 107,823,524 cycles
Notice the second value being bigger (91,.. < 107,..).
This could be easily verified by using perf script which displays raw
stat data:
$ perf script
CPU THREAD VAL ENA RUN TIME EVENT
0 -1 23855779 1000209530 1000209530 1000240796 cycles
1 -1 33340397 1000224964 1000224964 1000240796 cycles
2 -1 15835415 1000226695 1000226695 1000240796 cycles
3 -1 2184696 1000228245 1000228245 1000240796 cycles
0 -1 97014312 2000514533 2000514533 2000512791 cycles
1 -1 46121497 2000543795 2000543795 2000512791 cycles
2 -1 32269530 2000543566 2000543566 2000512791 cycles
3 -1 7634472 2000544108 2000544108 2000512791 cycles
The sum of the first 4 values is the first interval aggregated value:
23855779 + 33340397 + 15835415 + 2184696 = 75,216,287
The sum of the second 4 values minus first value is the second interval
aggregated value:
97014312 + 46121497 + 32269530 + 7634472 - 75216287 = 107,823,524

- Improve context detection when offering options in the hists browser,

'perf probe' through debuginfo__find_probes() in util/probe-finder.c
checks for the functions' frame descriptions in either .eh_frame section
of an ELF or the .debug_frame.
The check is based on whether either one of these sections is present.
Depending on distro, toolchain defaults, architetcutre, build flags,
etc., CFI might be found in either .eh_frame and/or .debug_frame.
Sometimes, it may happen that, .eh_frame, even if present, may not be
complete and may miss some descriptions.
Therefore, to be sure, to find the CFI covering an address we will
always have to investigate both if available.
For e.g., in powerpc, this may happen:
$ gcc -g bin.c -o bin
$ objdump --dwarf ./bin
<1><145>: Abbrev Number: 7 (DW_TAG_subprogram)
<146> DW_AT_external : 1
<146> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x9e): main
<14a> DW_AT_decl_file : 1
<14b> DW_AT_decl_line : 39
<14c> DW_AT_prototyped : 1
<14c> DW_AT_type : <0x57>
<150> DW_AT_low_pc : 0x100007b8
If the .eh_frame and .debug_frame are checked for the same binary, we
will find that, .eh_frame (although present) doesn't contain a
description for "main" function.
But, .debug_frame has a description:
000000d8 00000024 00000000 FDE cie=00000000 pc=100007b8..10000838
DW_CFA_advance_loc: 16 to 100007c8
DW_CFA_def_cfa_offset: 144
DW_CFA_offset_extended_sf: r65 at cfa+16
...
Due to this (since, perf checks whether .eh_frame is present and goes on
searching for that address inside that frame), perf is unable to process
the probes:
# perf probe -x ./bin main
Failed to get call frame on 0x100007b8
Error: Failed to add events.
To avoid this issue, we need to check both the sections (.eh_frame and
.debug_frame), which is done in this patch.
Note that, we can always force everything into both .eh_frame and
.debug_frame by:
$ gcc bin.c -fasynchronous-unwind-tables -fno-dwarf2-cfi-asm -g -o bin

intel_pt_process_auxtrace_info() creates a pt->unknown_thread thread
that eventually needs to be freed by the last thread__put() on it, when
its refcount hits zero, which may happen in
intel_pt_process_auxtrace_info() error handling path and triggers the
following segfault, which would happen as well at intel_pt_free, when
tools using this intel_pt codebase frees up resources:
# perf record -I -e intel_pt/tsc=1,noretcomp=1/u /bin/ls
0 a anaconda-ks.cfg bin perf.data perf.data.old perf-f23-bringup.todo
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.217 MB perf.data ]
#
# perf script -F event,comm,pid,tid,time,addr,ip,sym,dso,iregs
Samples for 'instructions:u' event do not have IREGS attribute set. Cannot print 'iregs' field.
intel_pt_synth_events: failed to synthesize 'instructions' event type
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
#
The problem is: there's a union in 'struct thread' combines a list_head
and a rb_node. The standard life cycle of a thread is: init rb_node in
the constructor, insert it into machine->threads rbtree using rb_node,
move it to machine->dead_threads using list_head, clean in the last
thread__put: list_del_init(&thread->node).
In the above command, it clean a thread before adding it into list,
causes the above segfault.
Since pt->unknown_thread will never live in an rbtree, initialize its
list node so that when list_del_init() is done on it we don't segfault.
After this patch:
# perf script -F event,comm,pid,tid,time,addr,ip,sym,dso,iregs
Samples for 'instructions:u' event do not have IREGS attribute set. Cannot print 'iregs' field.
intel_pt_synth_events: failed to synthesize 'instructions' event type
0x248 [0x88]: failed to process type: 70

When all callchains of a hist entry is percent-limited, do not add a
blank line at the end. It makes the entry look like it doesn't have
callchains.

When there's only a single callchain, perf doesn't print its percentage
in front of the symbols. This is because it assumes that the percentage
is same as parents. But if a percent limit is applied, it's possible
that there are actually a couple of child nodes but only one of them is
shown. In this case it should display the percent to prevent
misunderstanding of its percentage is same as the parent's.
For example, let's see the following callchain.
$ perf report --no-children --percent-limit 0.01 --tui
...
- 0.06% sleep [kernel.vmlinux] [k] kmem_cache_alloc_trace
kmem_cache_alloc_trace
- perf_event_mmap
- 0.04% mmap_region
do_mmap_pgoff
- vm_mmap_pgoff
+ 0.02% sys_mmap_pgoff
+ 0.02% vm_mmap
+ 0.02% mprotect_fixup
Current code omits the percent if 'mmap_region' becomes the only node
when percent limit is set to 0.03%, its percent is not 0.06% but users
will assume it incorrectly.
Before:
$ perf report --no-children --percent-limit 0.03 --tui
...
0.06% sleep [kernel.vmlinux] [k] kmem_cache_alloc_trace
kmem_cache_alloc_trace
- perf_event_mmap
- mmap_region
do_mmap_pgoff
vm_mmap_pgoff
After:
$ perf report --no-children --percent-limit 0.03 --tui
...
0.06% sleep [kernel.vmlinux] [k] kmem_cache_alloc_trace
kmem_cache_alloc_trace
- perf_event_mmap
- 0.04% mmap_region
do_mmap_pgoff
vm_mmap_pgoff
