perf probe: Fix segfault if passed with ''.

2015-05-05T15:26:52+00:00

Since parse_perf_probe_point() deals with a user passed argument, we
should not assume it to be a valid string.

Without this patch, if pass '' to perf probe, a segfault raises:

 $ perf probe -a ''
 Segmentation fault

This patch checks argument of parse_perf_probe_point() before
string processing.

After this patch:

 $ perf probe -a ''

  usage: perf probe [] 'PROBEDEF' ['PROBEDEF' ...]
     or: perf probe [] --add 'PROBEDEF' [--add 'PROBEDEF' ...]
     ...

perf probe: Fix bug with global variables handling

2015-04-27T16:57:29+00:00

There are missing curly braces which causes find_variable() return wrong
value when probing with global variables.

This problem can be reproduced as following:

  $ perf probe -v --add='generic_perform_write global_variable_for_test'
  ...
  Try to find probe point from debuginfo.
  Probe point found: generic_perform_write+0
  Searching 'global_variable_for_test' variable in context.
  An error occurred in debuginfo analysis (-2).
    Error: Failed to add events. Reason: No such file or directory (Code: -2)

After this patch:

  $ perf probe -v --add='generic_perform_write global_variable_for_test'
  ...
  Converting variable global_variable_for_test into trace event.
  global_variable_for_test type is int.
  Found 1 probe_trace_events.
  Opening /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events write=1
  Added new event:
  Writing event: p:probe/generic_perform_write _stext+1237464
  global_variable_for_test=@global_variable_for_test+0:s32
    probe:generic_perform_write (on generic_perform_write with
    global_variable_for_test)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

      perf record -e probe:generic_perform_write -aR sleep 1

   - a late coming 'perf kmem' tool update that enables it to also
     analyze page allocation data.  Note, this comes with MM tracepoint
     changes that we believe to not break anything: because it changes
     the formerly opaque 'struct page *' field that uniquely identifies
     pages to 'pfn' which identifies pages uniquely too, but isn't as
     opaque and can be used for other purposes as well"

Pull perf changes from Ingo Molnar:
 "Core kernel changes:

   - One of the more interesting features in this cycle is the ability
     to attach eBPF programs (user-defined, sandboxed bytecode executed
     by the kernel) to kprobes.

     This allows user-defined instrumentation on a live kernel image
     that can never crash, hang or interfere with the kernel negatively.
     (Right now it's limited to root-only, but in the future we might
     allow unprivileged use as well.)

     (Alexei Starovoitov)

   - Another non-trivial feature is per event clockid support: this
     allows, amongst other things, the selection of different clock
     sources for event timestamps traced via perf.

     This feature is sought by people who'd like to merge perf generated
     events with external events that were measured with different
     clocks:

       - cluster wide profiling

       - for system wide tracing with user-space events,

       - JIT profiling events

     etc.  Matching perf tooling support is added as well, available via
     the -k, --clockid  parameter to perf record et al.

     (Peter Zijlstra)

  Hardware enablement kernel changes:

   - x86 Intel Processor Trace (PT) support: which is a hardware tracer
     on steroids, available on Broadwell CPUs.

     The hardware trace stream is directly output into the user-space
     ring-buffer, using the 'AUX' data format extension that was added
     to the perf core to support hardware constraints such as the
     necessity to have the tracing buffer physically contiguous.

     This patch-set was developed for two years and this is the result.
     A simple way to make use of this is to use BTS tracing, the PT
     driver emulates BTS output - available via the 'intel_bts' PMU.
     More explicit PT specific tooling support is in the works as well -
     will probably be ready by 4.2.

     (Alexander Shishkin, Peter Zijlstra)

   - x86 Intel Cache QoS Monitoring (CQM) support: this is a hardware
     feature of Intel Xeon CPUs that allows the measurement and
     allocation/partitioning of caches to individual workloads.

     These kernel changes expose the measurement side as a new PMU
     driver, which exposes various QoS related PMU events.  (The
     partitioning change is work in progress and is planned to be merged
     as a cgroup extension.)

     (Matt Fleming, Peter Zijlstra; CPU feature detection by Peter P
     Waskiewicz Jr)

   - x86 Intel Haswell LBR call stack support: this is a new Haswell
     feature that allows the hardware recording of call chains, plus
     tooling support.  To activate this feature you have to enable it
     via the new 'lbr' call-graph recording option:

        perf record --call-graph lbr
        perf report

     or:

        perf top --call-graph lbr

     This hardware feature is a lot faster than stack walk or dwarf
     based unwinding, but has some limitations:

       - It reuses the current LBR facility, so LBR call stack and
         branch record can not be enabled at the same time.

       - It is only available for user-space callchains.

     (Yan, Zheng)

   - x86 Intel Broadwell CPU support and various event constraints and
     event table fixes for earlier models.

     (Andi Kleen)

   - x86 Intel HT CPUs event scheduling workarounds.  This is a complex
     CPU bug affecting the SNB,IVB,HSW families that results in counter
     value corruption.  The mitigation code is automatically enabled and
     is transparent.

     (Maria Dimakopoulou, Stephane Eranian)

  The perf tooling side had a ton of changes in this cycle as well, so
  I'm only able to list the user visible changes here, in addition to
  the tooling changes outlined above:

  User visible changes affecting all tools:

      - Improve support of compressed kernel modules (Jiri Olsa)
      - Save DSO loading errno to better report errors (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
      - Bash completion for subcommands (Yunlong Song)
      - Add 'I' event modifier for perf_event_attr.exclude_idle bit (Jiri Olsa)
      - Support missing -f to override perf.data file ownership. (Yunlong Song)
      - Show the first event with an invalid filter (David Ahern, Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

  User visible changes in individual tools:

    'perf data':

        New tool for converting perf.data to other formats, initially
        for the CTF (Common Trace Format) from LTTng (Jiri Olsa,
        Sebastian Siewior)

    'perf diff':

        Add --kallsyms option (David Ahern)

    'perf list':

        Allow listing events with 'tracepoint' prefix (Yunlong Song)

        Sort the output of the command (Yunlong Song)

    'perf kmem':

        Respect -i option (Jiri Olsa)

        Print big numbers using thousands' group (Namhyung Kim)

        Allow -v option (Namhyung Kim)

        Fix alignment of slab result table (Namhyung Kim)

    'perf probe':

        Support multiple probes on different binaries on the same command line (Masami Hiramatsu)

        Support unnamed union/structure members data collection. (Masami Hiramatsu)

        Check kprobes blacklist when adding new events. (Masami Hiramatsu)

    'perf record':

        Teach 'perf record' about perf_event_attr.clockid (Peter Zijlstra)

        Support recording running/enabled time (Andi Kleen)

    'perf sched':

        Improve the performance of 'perf sched replay' on high CPU core count machines (Yunlong Song)

    'perf report' and 'perf top':

        Allow annotating entries in callchains in the hists browser (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

        Indicate which callchain entries are annotated in the
        TUI hists browser (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

        Add pid/tid filtering to 'report' and 'script' commands (David Ahern)

        Consider PERF_RECORD_ events with cpumode == 0 in 'perf top', removing one
        cause of long term memory usage buildup, i.e. not processing PERF_RECORD_EXIT
        events (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

    'perf stat':

        Report unsupported events properly (Suzuki K. Poulose)

        Output running time and run/enabled ratio in CSV mode (Andi Kleen)

    'perf trace':

        Handle legacy syscalls tracepoints (David Ahern, Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

        Only insert blank duration bracket when tracing syscalls (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

        Filter out the trace pid when no threads are specified (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

        Dump stack on segfaults (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

        No need to explicitely enable evsels for workload started from perf, let it
        be enabled via perf_event_attr.enable_on_exec, removing some events that take
        place in the 'perf trace' before a workload is really started by it.
        (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

        Allow mixing with tracepoints and suppressing plain syscalls. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

  There's also been a ton of infrastructure work done, such as the
  split-out of perf's build system into tools/build/ and other changes -

perf probe: Fix segfault when probe with lazy_line to file

2015-04-13T23:12:21+00:00

The first argument passed to find_probe_point_lazy() should be CU die,
which will be passed to die_walk_lines() when lazy_line matches.
Currently, when we probe with lazy_line pattern to file without function
name, NULL pointer is passed and causes a segment fault.

Can be reproduced as following:

  $ perf probe -k vmlinux --add='fs/super.c;s->s_count=1;'
  [ 1958.984658] perf[1020]: segfault at 10 ip 00007fc6e10d8c71 sp
  00007ffcbfaaf900 error 4 in libdw-0.161.so[7fc6e10ce000+34000]
  Segmentation fault

After this patch:

  $ perf probe -k vmlinux --add='fs/super.c;s->s_count=1;'
  Added new event:
  probe:_stext         (on @fs/super.c)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
    perf record -e probe:_stext -aR sleep 1

perf probe: Find compilation directory path for lazy matching

2015-04-13T23:11:05+00:00

If we use lazy matching, it failed to open a souce file if perf command
is invoked outside of compilation directory:

$ perf probe -a '__schedule;clear_*'
Failed to open kernel/sched/core.c: No such file or directory
  Error: Failed to add events. (-2)

OTOH, other commands like "probe -L" can solve the souce directory by
themselves. Let's make it possible for lazy matching too!

perf probe: Set retprobe flag when probe in address-based alternative mode

2015-04-13T20:25:22+00:00

When perf probe searched in a debuginfo file and failed, it tried with
an alternative, in function get_alternative_probe_event():

        memcpy(tmp, &pev->point, sizeof(*tmp));
        memset(&pev->point, 0, sizeof(pev->point));

In this case, it drops the retprobe flag and forgets to set it back in
find_alternative_probe_point(), so the problem occurs.

Can be reproduced as following:

  $ perf probe -v -k vmlinux --add='sys_write%return'
  ...
  Added new event:
  Writing event: p:probe/sys_write _stext+1584952
    probe:sys_write      (on sys_write%return)

  $ cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
  p:probe/sys_write _stext+1584952

After this patch:

  $ perf probe -v -k vmlinux --add='sys_write%return'
  Added new event:
  Writing event: r:probe/sys_write SyS_write+0
    probe:sys_write      (on sys_write%return)
