perf script: Skip aggregation for stat events

2023-05-24T16:30:22+00:00

commit 2fe6575924612f1014a0539ab3053b106aded926 upstream. The script command does not support aggregation modes by itself although that can be achieved using post-processing scripts. Because of this, it does not allocate memory for aggregated event values. Upon running perf stat record, the aggregation mode is set in the perf data file. If the mode is AGGR_GLOBAL, the aggregated event values are accessed and this leads to a segmentation fault since these were never allocated to begin with. Set the mode to AGGR_NONE explicitly to avoid this. E.g. $ perf stat record -e cycles true $ perf script Before: Segmentation fault (core dumped) After: CPU THREAD VAL ENA RUN TIME EVENT -1 231919 162831 362069 362069 935289 cycles:u Fixes: 8b76a3188b85724f ("perf stat: Remove unused perf_counts.aggr field") Signed-off-by: Sandipan Das Acked-by: Namhyung Kim Cc: Adrian Hunter Cc: Alexander Shishkin Cc: Ananth Narayan Cc: Ian Rogers Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Mark Rutland Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Nick Terrell Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Ravi Bangoria Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v6.2+ Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/83d6c6c05c54bf00c5a9df32ac160718efca0c7a.1683280603.git.sandipan.das@amd.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

perf stat: Separate bperf from bpf_profiler

2023-05-17T12:01:51+00:00

[ Upstream commit ecc68ee216c6c5b2f84915e1441adf436f1b019b ] It seems that perf stat -b doesn't produce any results: $ perf stat -e cycles -b 4 -I 10000 -vvv Control descriptor is not initialized cycles: 0 0 0 time counts unit events 10.007641640 cycles Looks like this happens because fentry/fexit progs are getting loaded, but the corresponding perf event is not enabled and not added into the events bpf map. I think there is some mixing up between two type of bpf support, one for bperf and one for bpf_profiler. Both are identified via evsel__is_bpf, based on which perf events are enabled, but for the latter (bpf_profiler) a perf event is required. Using evsel__is_bperf to check only bperf produces expected results: $ perf stat -e cycles -b 4 -I 10000 -vvv Control descriptor is not initialized ------------------------------------------------------------ perf_event_attr: size 136 sample_type IDENTIFIER read_format TOTAL_TIME_ENABLED|TOTAL_TIME_RUNNING disabled 1 exclude_guest 1 ------------------------------------------------------------ sys_perf_event_open: pid -1 cpu 0 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 = 3 ------------------------------------------------------------ [...perf_event_attr for other CPUs...] ------------------------------------------------------------ cycles: 309426 169009 169009 time counts unit events 10.010091271 309426 cycles The final numbers correspond (at least in the level of magnitude) to the same metric obtained via bpftool.

perf cs-etm: Fix timeless decode mode detection

2023-05-17T12:01:50+00:00

[ Upstream commit 449067f3fc9f340da54e383738286881e6634d0b ] In this context, timeless refers to the trace data rather than the perf event data. But when detecting whether there are timestamps in the trace data or not, the presence of a timestamp flag on any perf event is used. Since commit f42c0ce573df ("perf record: Always get text_poke events with --kcore option") timestamps were added to a tracking event when --kcore is used which breaks this detection mechanism. Fix it by detecting if trace timestamps exist by looking at the ETM config flags. This would have always been a more accurate way of doing it anyway. This fixes the following error message when using --kcore with Coresight: $ perf record --kcore -e cs_etm// --per-thread $ perf report The perf.data/data data has no samples!

perf map: Delete two variable initialisations before null pointer checks in sort__sym_from_cmp()

2023-05-17T12:01:50+00:00

[ Upstream commit c160118a90d4acf335993d8d59b02ae2147a524e ] Addresses of two data structure members were determined before corresponding null pointer checks in the implementation of the function “sort__sym_from_cmp”. Thus avoid the risk for undefined behaviour by removing extra initialisations for the local variables “from_l” and “from_r” (also because they were already reassigned with the same value behind this pointer check). This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

perf vendor events power9: Remove UTF-8 characters from JSON files
