__perf_session__process_pipe_events reuses the same memory buffer to
process all events in the pipe.
When reordering is needed (e.g. -b option), events are not immediately
flushed, but kept around until reordering is possible, causing
memory corruption.
The problem is usually observed by a "Unknown sample error" output. It
can easily be reproduced by:
perf record -o - noploop | perf inject -b > output
Committer testing:
Before:
$ perf record -o - stress -t 2 -c 2 | perf inject -b > /dev/null
stress: info: [8297] dispatching hogs: 2 cpu, 0 io, 0 vm, 0 hdd
stress: info: [8297] successful run completed in 2s
[ perf record: Woken up 3 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.000 MB - ]
Warning:

Is this an older tool processing a perf.data file generated by a more recent tool?
If that is not the case, consider reporting to linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org.

since 4.10 perf annotate exits on s390 with an "unknown error -95".
Turns out that commit 786c1b5184 ("perf annotate: Start supporting
cross arch annotation") added a hard requirement for architecture
support when objdump is used but only provided x86 and arm support.
Meanwhile power was added so lets add s390 as well.
While at it make sure to implement the branch and jump types.

The kernel has a special check for a specific irq_vectors trace event.
TRACE_EVENT_PERF_PERM(irq_work_exit,
is_sampling_event(p_event) ? -EPERM : 0);
The perf-record fails for this irq_vectors event when it is present,
like when using a wildcard:
root@skl:/tmp# perf record -a -e irq_vectors:* sleep 2
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
>= 0: Disallow raw tracepoint access by users without CAP_IOC_LOCK
>= 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
This patch prints out the exact sub event that failed with EPERM for
wildcards to help in understanding what went wrong when this event is
present:
After the patch:
root@skl:/tmp# perf record -a -e irq_vectors:* sleep 2
Error:
No permission to enable irq_vectors:irq_work_exit event.
You may not have permission to collect system-wide stats.
......
Committer notes:
So we have a lot of irq_vectors events:
[root@jouet ~]# perf list irq_vectors:*
List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e):
irq_vectors:call_function_entry [Tracepoint event]
irq_vectors:call_function_exit [Tracepoint event]
irq_vectors:call_function_single_entry [Tracepoint event]
irq_vectors:call_function_single_exit [Tracepoint event]
irq_vectors:deferred_error_apic_entry [Tracepoint event]
irq_vectors:deferred_error_apic_exit [Tracepoint event]
irq_vectors:error_apic_entry [Tracepoint event]
irq_vectors:error_apic_exit [Tracepoint event]
irq_vectors:irq_work_entry [Tracepoint event]
irq_vectors:irq_work_exit [Tracepoint event]
irq_vectors:local_timer_entry [Tracepoint event]
irq_vectors:local_timer_exit [Tracepoint event]
irq_vectors:reschedule_entry [Tracepoint event]
irq_vectors:reschedule_exit [Tracepoint event]
irq_vectors:spurious_apic_entry [Tracepoint event]
irq_vectors:spurious_apic_exit [Tracepoint event]
irq_vectors:thermal_apic_entry [Tracepoint event]
irq_vectors:thermal_apic_exit [Tracepoint event]
irq_vectors:threshold_apic_entry [Tracepoint event]
irq_vectors:threshold_apic_exit [Tracepoint event]
irq_vectors:x86_platform_ipi_entry [Tracepoint event]
irq_vectors:x86_platform_ipi_exit [Tracepoint event]
#
And some may be sampled:
[root@jouet ~]# perf record -e irq_vectors:local* sleep 20s
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.020 MB perf.data (2 samples) ]
[root@jouet ~]# perf report -D | egrep 'stats:|events:'
Aggregated stats:
TOTAL events: 155
MMAP events: 144
COMM events: 2
EXIT events: 1
SAMPLE events: 2
MMAP2 events: 4
FINISHED_ROUND events: 1
TIME_CONV events: 1
irq_vectors:local_timer_entry stats:
TOTAL events: 1
SAMPLE events: 1
irq_vectors:local_timer_exit stats:
TOTAL events: 1
SAMPLE events: 1
[root@jouet ~]#
But, as shown in the tracepoint definition at the start of this message,
some, like "irq_vectors:irq_work_exit", may not be sampled, just counted,
i.e. if we try to sample, as when using 'perf record', we get an error:
[root@jouet ~]# perf record -e irq_vectors:irq_work_exit
Error:
You may not have permission to collect system-wide stats.
Consider tweaking /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid,
<SNIP>
The error message is misleading, this patch will help in pointing out
what is the event causing such an error, but the error message needs
improvement, i.e. we need to figure out a way to check if a tracepoint
is counting only, like this one, when all we can do is to count it with
'perf stat', at most printing the delta using interval printing, as in:
[root@jouet ~]# perf stat -I 5000 -e irq_vectors:irq_work_*
# time counts unit events
5.000168871 0 irq_vectors:irq_work_entry
5.000168871 0 irq_vectors:irq_work_exit
10.000676730 0 irq_vectors:irq_work_entry
10.000676730 0 irq_vectors:irq_work_exit
15.001122415 0 irq_vectors:irq_work_entry
15.001122415 0 irq_vectors:irq_work_exit
20.001298051 0 irq_vectors:irq_work_entry
20.001298051 0 irq_vectors:irq_work_exit
25.001485020 1 irq_vectors:irq_work_entry
25.001485020 1 irq_vectors:irq_work_exit
30.001658706 0 irq_vectors:irq_work_entry
30.001658706 0 irq_vectors:irq_work_exit
^C 32.045711878 0 irq_vectors:irq_work_entry
32.045711878 0 irq_vectors:irq_work_exit
[root@jouet ~]#
But at least, when we use a wildcard, this patch helps a bit.

The option 'show-total-period' works fine without a option '-l'. But if
running 'perf annotate --stdio -l --show-total-period', you can see a
problem showing only zero '0' for number of samples.
Before:
$ perf annotate --stdio -l --show-total-period
...
0 : 400816: push %rbp
0 : 400817: mov %rsp,%rbp
0 : 40081a: mov %edi,-0x24(%rbp)
0 : 40081d: mov %rsi,-0x30(%rbp)
0 : 400821: mov -0x24(%rbp),%eax

0 : 400828: mov (%rdx),%esi
0 : 40082a: mov $0x0,%edx
...
The reason is it was missed to set number of samples of
source_line_samples, so set it ordinarily.
After:
$ perf annotate --stdio -l --show-total-period

Currently we fail in the following case:
$ unset HOME
$ ./perf record ls
$ echo $?
255
It's because the config code init fails due to a missing HOME variable
value. Fix this by skipping the user config init if there's no HOME
variable value.

For some platforms, for example Broadwell, it doesn't support cycles
for LBR. But the perf always prints cycles:0, it's not necessary.
The patch refactors the LBR info print code and drops the cycles:0.
For example: perf report --branch-history --no-children --stdio
On Broadwell:
--0.91%--__random_r random_r.c:394 (iterations:2)
__random_r random_r.c:360 (predicted:0.0%)
__random_r random_r.c:380 (predicted:0.0%)

On Skylake:

It is wrong way to read link name from a build-id file. Because a
build-id file is not anymore a symbolic link but build-id directory of
it is symbolic link, so fix it.
For example, if build-id file name gotten from
dso__build_id_filename() is as below,
/root/.debug/.build-id/4f/75c7d197c951659d1c1b8b5fd49bcdf8f3f8b1/elf
To correctly read link name of build-id, use the build-id dir path that
is a symbolic link, instead of the above build-id file name like below.
/root/.debug/.build-id/4f/75c7d197c951659d1c1b8b5fd49bcdf8f3f8b1

Often it is interesting to know how costly a given source line is in
total. Previously, one had to build these sums manually based on all
addresses that pointed to the same source line. This patch introduces
srcline as a sort key, which will do the aggregation for us.
Paired with the recent addition of showing inline frames, this makes
perf report much more useful for many C++ work loads.
The following shows the new feature in action. First, let's show the
status quo output when we sort by address. The result contains many hist
entries that generate the same output:

It would be useful for perf to support a mode to query the inline stack
for a given callgraph address. This would simplify finding the right
code in code that does a lot of inlining.
The srcline.c has contained the code which supports to translate the
address to filename:line_nr. This patch just extends the function to let
it support getting the inline stacks.
It introduces the inline_list which will store the inline function
result (filename:line_nr and funcname).
If BFD lib is not supported, the result is only filename:line_nr.

Introduce dso__name() and filename_split() out of existing code because
these codes will be used in several places in next patch.
For filename_split(), it may also solve a potential memory leak in
existing code. In existing addr2line(),
sep = strchr(filename, ':');
if (sep) {
*sep++ = '\0';
*file = filename;
*line_nr = strtoul(sep, NULL, 0);
ret = 1;
}
out:
pclose(fp);
return ret;
If sep is NULL, filename is not freed or returned via file.

Add generic infrastructure to perf stat to output ratios for
"MetricExpr" entries in the event lists. Many events are more useful as
ratios than in raw form, typically some count in relation to total
ticks.
Transfer the MetricExpr information from the alias to the evsel.
We mark the events that need to be collected for MetricExpr, and also
link the events using them with a pointer. The code is careful to always
prefer the right event in the same group to minimize multiplexing
errors. At the moment only a single relation is supported.
Then add a rblist to the stat shadow code that remembers stats based on
the cpu and context.
Then finally update and retrieve and print these values similarly to the
existing hardcoded perf metrics. We use the simple expression parser
added earlier to evaluate the expression.
Normally we just output the result without further commentary, but for
--metric-only this would lead to empty columns. So for this case use the
original event as description.
There is no attempt to automatically add the MetricExpr event, if it is
missing, however we suggest it to the user, because the user tool
doesn't have enough information to reliably construct a group that is
guaranteed to schedule. So we leave that to the user.

Add a simple expression parser good enough to parse JSON relation
expressions. The parser is implemented using bison.
This is just intended as an simple parser for internal usage in the
event lists, not the beginning of a "perf scripting language"
v2: Use expr__ prefix instead of expr_
Support multiple free variables for parser
Committer note:
The v2 patch had:
%define api.pure full
In expr.y, that is a feature introduced in bison 2.7, to have reentrant
parsers, not using global variables, which would make tools/perf stop
building with the bison version shipped in older distros, so Andi
realised that the other parsers (e.g. parse-events.y) were using:
%pure-parser
Which is present in older versions of bison and fits the bill.
I added:
CFLAGS_expr-bison.o += -DYYENABLE_NLS=0 -DYYLTYPE_IS_TRIVIAL=0 -w
To finally make it build, copying what was there for pmu-bison.o,
another parser.

When the user specifies a pmu directly, expand it automatically with a
prefix match for all available PMUs, similar as we do for the normal
aliases now.
This allows to specify attributes for duplicated boxes quickly. For
example uncore_cbox_{0,6}/.../ can be now specified as uncore_cbox/.../
and it gets automatically expanded for all boxes.
This generally makes it more concise to write uncore specifications, and
also avoids the need to know the exact topology of the system.

The uncore PMU has a lot of duplicated PMUs for different subsystems.
When expanding an uncore alias we usually end up with a large
number of identically named aliases, which makes perf stat
output difficult to read.
Automatically sum them up in perf stat, unless --no-merge is specified.
This can be default because only the uncores generally have duplicated
aliases. Other PMUs have unique names.

The source code line number (lineno) needs to be kept in accross calls
to symbol__parse_objdump_line() when parsing the output of 'objdump -l
-dS', so that it can associate it with the instructions till the next
line.
See disasm_line__new() and struct disasm_line::line_nr.

The 'grep -v "filename"' applied to the objdump command output cause a
side effect eliminating filename:linenr of output of 'objdump -l' if the
object file name and source file name are the same, fix it.
E.g. the output of the following objdump command in symbol__disassemble():
$ objdump -l -d -S -C /home/taeung/hello --start-address=...
/home/taeung/hello: file format elf64-x86-64
Disassembly of section .text:
0000000000400526 <main>:
main():
/home/taeung/hello.c:4
void main()
{
400526: 55 push %rbp
400527: 48 89 e5 mov %rsp,%rbp
/home/taeung/hello.c:5
...
But it uses grep -v "filename" e.g. "/home/taeung/hello" in the objdump
command to remove the first line containing file name and file format
("/home/taeung/hello: file format elf64-x86-64"):
Before:
$ objdump -l -d -S -C /home/taeung/hello | grep /home/taeung/hello
But this causes a side effect, removing filename:linenr too, because the
object file and source file have the same name e.g. "/home/taueng/hello",
"/home/taeung/hello.c"
So more do a better match by using grep -v as below to correctly remove
that first line:
"/home/taeung/hello: file format elf64-x86-64"
After:
$ objdump -l -d -S -C /home/taeung/hello | grep /home/taeung/hello:

An sdt probe can be associated with arguments but they were not passed
to the user probe tracing interface (uprobe_events); this patch adapts
the sdt argument descriptors according to the uprobe input format.
As the uprobe parser does not support scaled address mode, perf will
skip arguments which cannot be adapted to the uprobe format.
Here are the results:
$ perf buildid-cache -v --add test_sdt
$ perf probe -x test_sdt sdt_libfoo:table_frob
$ perf probe -x test_sdt sdt_libfoo:table_diddle
$ perf record -e sdt_libfoo:table_frob -e sdt_libfoo:table_diddle test_sdt
$ perf script
test_sdt ... 666.255678: sdt_libfoo:table_frob: (4004d7) arg0=0 arg1=0
test_sdt ... 666.255683: sdt_libfoo:table_diddle: (40051a) arg0=0 arg1=0

of the "added" binary is scanned in order to list the available SDT
markers available in a binary. The parts containing the probes arguments
were left unscanned.
The whole section is now parsed; the probe arguments are extracted for

There are many SDT markers in powerpc whose uprobe definition goes
beyond current MAX_CMDLEN, especially when target filename is long and
sdt marker has long list of arguments. For example, definition of sdt
marker
method__compile__end: 8@17 8@9 8@10 -4@8 8@7 -4@6 8@5 -4@4 1@37(28)
from file
/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.91-2.b14.fc22.ppc64/jre/lib/ppc64/server/libjvm.so
is
p:sdt_hotspot/method__compile__end /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-\
1.8.0.91-2.b14.fc22.ppc64/jre/lib/ppc64/server/libjvm.so:0x4c4e00\
arg1=%gpr17:u64 arg2=%gpr9:u64 arg3=%gpr10:u64 arg4=%gpr8:s32\
arg5=%gpr7:u64 arg6=%gpr6:s32 arg7=%gpr5:u64 arg8=%gpr4:s32\
arg9=+37(%gpr28):u8
'perf probe' fails with segfault for such markers. As the uprobe_events
file accepts definitions up to 4094 characters(4096 - 2 (\n\0)),
increase value of MAX_CMDLEN match that.

'*ntevs' contains number of elements present in 'tevs' array. If there
are no elements in array, 'tevs2' can be directly assigned to 'tevs'
without allocating more space. So the condition should be '*ntevs == 0'

This patch decodes the 'partial' flag in AUX records and prints
a warning to the user, so that they don't have to guess why their
PT traces contain gaps (or missing altogether):
Warning:
AUX data had gaps in it 8 times out of 8!
Are you running a KVM guest in the background?
Trying to be even more helpful, we will detect if the user's kvm driver sets up
exclusive VMX root mode for the entire lifespan of the kvm process:
Reloading kvm_intel module with vmm_exclusive=0
will reduce the gaps to only guest's timeslices.
Note however, that you'll still have gaps in cpu-wide traces even with
vmm_exclusive=0, but the number of gaps will be below 100% (as opposed to the
above example).
Currently this is the only reason for partial records.

The current symbols__fixup_end() heuristic for the last entry in the rb
tree is suboptimal as it leads to not being able to recognize the symbol
in the call graph in a couple of corner cases, for example:
i) If the symbol has a start address (f.e. exposed via kallsyms)
that is at a page boundary, then the roundup(curr->start, 4096)
for the last entry will result in curr->start == curr->end with
a symbol length of zero.
ii) If the symbol has a start address that is shortly before a page
boundary, then also here, curr->end - curr->start will just be
very few bytes, where it's unrealistic that we could perform a
match against.
Instead, change the heuristic to roundup(curr->start, 4096) + 4096, so
that we can catch such corner cases and have a better chance to find
that specific symbol. It's still just best effort as the real end of the
symbol is unknown to us (and could even be at a larger offset than the
current range), but better than the current situation.
Alexei reported that he recently run into case i) with a JITed eBPF
program (these are all page aligned) as the last symbol which wasn't
properly shown in the call graph (while other eBPF program symbols in
the rb tree were displayed correctly). Since this is a generic issue,
lets try to improve the heuristic a bit.
