perf session: Don't rely on evlist in pipe mode

2018-03-22T08:17:51+00:00

[ Upstream commit 0973ad97c187e06aece61f685b9c3b2d93290a73 ] Session sets a number parameters that rely on evlist. These parameters are not used in pipe-mode and should not be set, since evlist is unavailable. Fix that.

perf inject: Copy events when reordering events in pipe mode

2018-03-22T08:17:51+00:00

[ Upstream commit 1e0d4f0200e4dbdfc38d818f329d8a0955f7c6f5 ] __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: Found 1 unknown events! 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. $ After: $ perf record -o - stress -t 2 -c 2 | perf inject -b > /dev/null stress: info: [9027] dispatching hogs: 2 cpu, 0 io, 0 vm, 0 hdd stress: info: [9027] successful run completed in 2s [ perf record: Woken up 3 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.000 MB - ] no symbols found in /usr/bin/stress, maybe install a debug package? no symbols found in /usr/bin/stress, maybe install a debug package? $ Signed-off-by: David Carrillo-Cisneros Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Acked-by: Jiri Olsa Cc: Alexander Shishkin Cc: Andi Kleen Cc: He Kuang Cc: Masami Hiramatsu Cc: Paul Turner Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Simon Que Cc: Stephane Eranian Cc: Wang Nan Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170410201432.24807-3-davidcc@google.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

perf session: Don't warn about out of order event if write_backward is used

2016-07-15T20:27:51+00:00

If write_backward attribute is set, records are written into kernel ring buffer from end to beginning, but read from beginning to end. To avoid 'XX out of order events recorded' warning message (timestamps of records is in reverse order when using write_backward), suppress the warning message if write_backward is selected by at lease one event. Result: Before this patch: # perf record -m 1 -e raw_syscalls:sys_exit/overwrite/ \ -e raw_syscalls:sys_enter \ dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null count=300 300+0 records in 300+0 records out 153600 bytes (154 kB) copied, 0.000601617 s, 255 MB/s [ perf record: Woken up 5 times to write data ] Warning: 40 out of order events recorded.

perf evlist: Rename for_each() macros to for_each_entry()

2016-06-23T14:26:15+00:00

To match the semantics for list.h in the kernel, that are used to implement those macros.

And do nothing, just like free(), to avoid having to test it in callers, usually in error paths.
