perf script: perf script tests fails with segfault

This script sets `perf_db_export_mode = True`. With `perf_db_export_mode` enabled, if a sample originates from a hypervisor, perf doesn't set maps for "[H]" sample in the code. Consequently, `al->maps` remains NULL when `maps__machine(al->maps)` is called from `db_export__sample`. As al->maps can be NULL in case of Hypervisor samples , use thread->maps because even for Hypervisor sample, machine should exist. If we don't have machine for some reason, return -1 to avoid segmentation fault.

perf sample: Make user_regs and intr_regs optional

2025-02-13T04:06:11+00:00

The struct dump_regs contains 512 bytes of cache_regs, meaning the two values in perf_sample contribute 1088 bytes of its total 1384 bytes size. Initializing this much memory has a cost reported by Tavian Barnes as about 2.5% when running `perf script --itrace=i0`: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/d841b97b3ad2ca8bcab07e4293375fb7c32dfce7.1736618095.git.tavianator@tavianator.com/ Adrian Hunter replied that the zero initialization was necessary and couldn't simply be removed. This patch aims to strike a middle ground of still zeroing the perf_sample, but removing 79% of its size by make user_regs and intr_regs optional pointers to zalloc-ed memory. To support the allocation accessors are created for user_regs and intr_regs. To support correct cleanup perf_sample__init and perf_sample__exit functions are created and added throughout the code base.

Currently the libtraceevent's found by pkg-config, which give the include path as: [root@localhost tmp]# pkg-config --cflags libtraceevent -I/usr/local/include/traceevent So we should include the libtraceevent headers directly without "traceevent/" prefix.

perf script cs_etm: Add map_pgoff to python dictionary

2024-11-09T06:42:56+00:00

Extract map_pgoff parameter from the dictionary, and adjust start/end range passed to objdump based on the value. A zero start_addr is filtered to prevent output of dso address range check failures. This script repeatedly sees a zero value passed in for start_addr = cpu_data[str(cpu) + 'addr'] These zero values are not a new problem. The start_addr/stop_addr warning clutters the instruction trace output, hence this change.

perf script python: Avoid buffer overflow in python PEBS register interface

2024-09-06T14:44:58+00:00

Running a script that processes PEBS records gives buffer overflows in valgrind. The problem is that the allocation of the register string doesn't include the terminating 0 byte. Fix this. I also replaced the very magic "28" with a more reasonable larger buffer that should fit all registers.
