perf tools: handle spaces in file names obtained from /proc/pid/maps

2016-05-04T21:48:53+00:00

commit 89fee59b504f86925894fcc9ba79d5c933842f93 upstream. Steam frequently puts game binaries in folders with spaces. Note: "(deleted)" markers are now treated as part of the file name.

perf evlist: Reference count the cpu and thread maps at set_maps()

2016-05-04T21:48:52+00:00

commit a55e5663761366fb883f6f25375dd68bc958b9db upstream. We were dropping the reference we possibly held but not obtaining one for the new maps, which we will drop at perf_evlist__delete(), fix it. This was caught by Steven Noonan in some of the machines which would produce this output when caught by glibc debug mechanisms: $ sudo perf test 21 21: Test object code reading :*** Error in `perf': corrupted double-linked list: 0x00000000023ffcd0 *** ======= Backtrace: ========= /usr/lib/libc.so.6(+0x72055)[0x7f25be0f3055] /usr/lib/libc.so.6(+0x779b6)[0x7f25be0f89b6] /usr/lib/libc.so.6(+0x7a0ed)[0x7f25be0fb0ed] /usr/lib/libc.so.6(__libc_calloc+0xba)[0x7f25be0fceda] perf(parse_events_lex_init_extra+0x38)[0x4cfff8] perf(parse_events+0x55)[0x4a0615] perf(perf_evlist__config+0xcf)[0x4eeb2f] perf[0x479f82] perf(test__code_reading+0x1e)[0x47ad4e] perf(cmd_test+0x5dd)[0x46452d] perf[0x47f4e3] perf(main+0x603)[0x42c723] /usr/lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf0)[0x7f25be0a1610] perf(_start+0x29)[0x42c859] Further investigation using valgrind led to the reference count imbalance fixed in this patch.

perf tools: Fix python extension build

2016-04-12T16:08:35+00:00

commit 67d5268908283c187e0a460048a423256c2fb288 upstream. The util/python-ext-sources file contains source files required to build the python extension relative to $(srctree)/tools/perf, Such a file path $(FILE).c is handed over to the python extension build system, which builds the final object in the $(PYTHON_EXTBUILD)/tmp/$(FILE).o path. After the build is done all files from $(PYTHON_EXTBUILD)lib/ are carried as the result binaries. Above system fails when we add source file relative to ../lib, which we do for: ../lib/bitmap.c ../lib/find_bit.c ../lib/hweight.c ../lib/rbtree.c All above objects will be built like: $(PYTHON_EXTBUILD)/tmp/../lib/bitmap.c $(PYTHON_EXTBUILD)/tmp/../lib/find_bit.c $(PYTHON_EXTBUILD)/tmp/../lib/hweight.c $(PYTHON_EXTBUILD)/tmp/../lib/rbtree.c which accidentally happens to be final library path: $(PYTHON_EXTBUILD)/lib/ Changing setup.py to pass full paths of source files to Extension build class and thus keep all built objects under $(PYTHON_EXTBUILD)tmp directory.

perf tools: Dont stop PMU parsing on alias parse error

2016-04-12T16:08:35+00:00

commit 940db6dcd3f4659303fdf6befe7416adc4d24118 upstream. When an error happens during alias parsing currently the complete parsing of all attributes of the PMU is stopped. This is breaks old perf on a newer kernel that may have not-yet-know alias attributes (such as .scale or .per-pkg). Continue when some attribute is unparseable. This is IMHO a stable candidate and should be backported to older versions to avoid problems with newer kernels. v2: Print warnings when something goes wrong. v3: Change warning to debug output Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen Cc: Jiri Olsa Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1455749095-18358-1-git-send-email-andi@firstfloor.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

perf stat: Do not clean event's private stats

commit 3f416f22d1e21709a631189ba169f76fd267b374 upstream. Mel reported stddev reporting was broken due to following commit: 106a94a0f8c2 ("perf stat: Introduce read_counters function") This commit merged interval and overall counters reading into single read_counters function. The old interval code cleaned the stddev data for some reason (it's never displayed in interval mode) and the mentioned commit kept on cleaning the stddev data in merged function, which resulted in the stddev not being displayed. Removing the wrong stddev data cleanup init_stats call.

perf kvm record/report: 'unprocessable sample' error while recording/reporting guest data

2016-02-25T20:01:20+00:00

commit 3caeaa562733c4836e61086ec07666635006a787 upstream. While recording guest samples in host using perf kvm record, it will populate unprocessable sample error, though samples will be recorded properly. While generating report using perf kvm report, no samples will be processed and same error will populate. We have seen this behaviour with upstream perf(4.4-rc3) on x86 and ppc64 hardware. Reason behind this failure is, when it tries to fetch machine from rb_tree of machines, it fails. As a part of tracing a bug, we figured out that this code was incorrectly refactored in commit 54245fdc3576 ("perf session: Remove wrappers to machines__find"). This patch will change the functionality such that if it can't fetch machine in first trial, it will create one node of machine and add that to rb_tree. So next time when it tries to fetch same machine from rb_tree, it won't fail. Actually it was the case before refactoring of code in aforementioned commit. This patch is generated from acme perf/core branch. Below I've mention an example that demonstrate the behaviour before and after applying patch. Before applying patch: [Note: One needs to run guest before recording data in host] ravi@ravi-bangoria:~$ ./perf kvm record -a Warning: 5903 unprocessable samples recorded.

Fix by checking before using. Committer note: This doesn't take place in a kernel that supports perf_event_attr.context_switch, that is the default way that will be used for tracking context switches, only in older kernels, like 4.2, in a machine with Intel PT (e.g. Broadwell) for non-priviledged users. Further info from a similar patch by Wang: The error is in tracepoint_error: it assumes the 'e' parameter is valid. However, there are many situation a parse_event() can be called without parse_events_error.
