perf tests: Add dwarf unwind test for powerpc

2016-09-29T14:18:21+00:00

The user stack dump feature was recently added for powerpc. But there
was no test case available to test it.

This test works same as on other architectures by preparing a stack
frame on the perf test thread and comparing each frame by unwinding it.

  $ ./perf test 50
    50: Test dwarf unwind    : Ok

perf symbols: Remove symbol_filter_t machinery

2016-09-05T14:14:50+00:00

We're not using it anymore, few users were, but we really could do
without it, simplify lots of functions by removing it.

perf test vmlinux: Remove dead symbol_filter_t code

2016-09-05T14:14:50+00:00

We don't need to initialize that area as we're not using it afterwards,
leftover, ditch it.

perf test vmlinux: Tolerate symbol aliases

2016-09-01T15:42:23+00:00

The algorithms used to prune aliases in symbols__fixup_duplicate() uses
information available on ELF symtabs that are not present on
/proc/kallsyms, so it picks different aliases as "best" for vmlinux and
kallsyms.

We could probably improve a bit this by having a list of aliases for the
"best" symbols picked, instead of throwing this info, but that is left
for when we find a real need.

With this, 'perf test vmlinux' passes:

  # perf test -F 1
   1: vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms: Ok
  #

When we ask for verbose mode, we can see those warning:

  # perf test -F -v 1
   1: vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms:

perf tests bpf: Use SyS_epoll_wait alias

2016-08-03T22:40:48+00:00

Something made the sys_epoll_wait() function alias not to be found in
the vmlinux DWARF info, being found only in /proc/kallsyms, which made
the BPF perf tests to fail:

  [root@jouet ~]# perf test BPF
  37: Test BPF filter                                          :
  37.1: Test basic BPF filtering                               : FAILED!
  37.2: Test BPF prologue generation                           : Skip
  37.3: Test BPF relocation checker                            : Skip
  [root@jouet ~]#

Using -v we can see it is failing to find DWARF info for the probed function,
sys_epoll_wait, which we can find in /proc/kallsyms but not in vmlinux with
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO:

  [root@jouet ~]# grep -w sys_epoll_wait /proc/kallsyms
  ffffffffbd295b50 T sys_epoll_wait
  [root@jouet ~]#

  [root@jouet ~]# readelf -wi /lib/modules/4.7.0+/build/vmlinux | grep -w sys_epoll_wait
  [root@jouet ~]#

If we try to use perf probe:

[root@jouet ~]# perf probe sys_epoll_wait
Failed to find debug information for address ffffffffbd295b50
Probe point 'sys_epoll_wait' not found.
  Error: Failed to add events.
[root@jouet ~]#

It all works if we use SyS_epoll_wait, that is just an alias to the probed
function:

  [root@jouet ~]# grep -i sys_epoll_wait /proc/kallsyms
  ffffffffbd295b50 T SyS_epoll_wait
  ffffffffbd295b50 T sys_epoll_wait
  [root@jouet ~]#

So use it:

  [root@jouet ~]# perf test BPF
  37: Test BPF filter                                          :
  37.1: Test basic BPF filtering                               : Ok
  37.2: Test BPF prologue generation                           : Ok
  37.3: Test BPF relocation checker                            : Ok
  [root@jouet ~]#

Further info:

  [root@jouet ~]# gcc --version
  gcc (GCC) 6.1.1 20160621 (Red Hat 6.1.1-3)
  [acme@jouet linux]$ cat /etc/fedora-release
  Fedora release 24 (Twenty Four)

Investigation as to why it fails is still underway, but it was always
going from sys_epoll_wait to SyS_epoll_wait when looking up the DWARF
info in vmlinux, and this is what is breaking now.

Switching to use SyS_epoll_wait allows this test to proceed and test the
BPF code it was designed for, so lets have this in to allow passing this
test while we fix the root cause.

perf tests: objdump output can contain multi byte chunks

2016-08-02T19:42:51+00:00

objdump's raw insn output can vary across architectures on the number of
bytes per chunk (bpc) displayed and their endianness.

The code-reading test relied on reading objdump output as 1 bpc. Kaixu
Xia reported test failure on ARM64, where objdump displays 4 bpc:

  70c48:        f90027bf         str        xzr, [x29,#72]
  70c4c:        91224000         add        x0, x0, #0x890
  70c50:        f90023a0         str        x0, [x29,#64]

This patch adds support to read raw insn output for any bpc length.
In case of 2+ bpc it also guesses objdump's display endian.
