      perf: Fix argument of perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs · 5cfaf214
      Nobuhiro Iwamatsu 提交于
      "struct regs" was set to argument of perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs
      off-case. It should be "struct pt_regs".
      
      This fixes various build errors in archs that have CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS=y
      but no overriden implementation of perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs.

      hw_breakpoints: Fix per task breakpoint tracking · 45a73372
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      Freeing a perf event can happen in several ways. A task
      calls perf_event_exit_task() right before exiting. This helper
      will detach all the events from the task context and queue their
      removal through free_event() if they are child tasks. The task
      also loses its context reference there.
      
      Releasing the breakpoint slot from the constraint table is made
      from free_event() that calls release_bp_slot(). We count the number
      of breakpoints this task is running by looking at the task's
      perf_event_ctxp and iterating through its attached events.
      But at this time, the reference to this context has been cleaned up
      already.
      
      So looking at the event->ctx instead of task->perf_event_ctxp
      to count the remaining breakpoints should solve the problem.
      At least it would for child breakpoints, but not for parent ones.
      If the parent exits before the child, it will remove all its
      events from the context but free_event() will be called later,
      on fd release time. And checking the number of breakpoints the
      task has attached to its context at this time is unreliable as all
      events have been removed from the context.
      
      To solve this, we keep track of the list of per task breakpoints.
      On top of it, we maintain our array of numbers of breakpoints used
      by the tasks. We use the context address as a task id.
      
      So, instead of looking at the number of events attached to a context,
      we walk through our list of per task breakpoints and count the number
      of breakpoints that use the same ctx than the one to be reserved or
      released from the constraint table, and update the count on top of this
      result.
      
      In the meantime it solves a bad refcounting, it also solves a warning,
      reported by Paul.

      perf probe: Add kernel source path option · 9ed7e1b8
      Chase Douglas 提交于
      The probe plugin requires access to the source code for some operations.  The
      source code must be in the exact same location as specified by the DWARF tags,
      but sometimes the location is an absolute path that cannot be replicated by a
      normal user. This change adds the -s|--source option to allow the user to
      specify the root of the kernel source tree.

      perf record: Add option to avoid updating buildid cache · a1ac1d3c
      Stephane Eranian 提交于
      There are situations where there is enough information in the perf.data
      to process the samples. Updating the buildid cache may add unecessary
      overhead in terms of disk space and time (copying large elf images).
      
      A persistent option to do this already exists via the perfconfig file,
      simply do:
      
      [buildid]
      dir = /dev/null
      
      This patch provides a way to suppress builid cache updates on a per-run
      basis.  It addds a new option, -N, to perf record. Buildids are still
      generated in the perf.data file.

      perf symbols: Function descriptor symbol lookup · 70c3856b
      Eric B Munson 提交于
      Currently symbol resolution does not work for 64-bit programs on architectures
      that use function descriptors such as ppc64.
      
      The problem is that a symbol doesn't point to a text address, it points to a
      data area that contains (amongst other things) a pointer to the text address.
      
      We look for a section called ".opd" which is the function descriptor area. To
      create the full symbol table, when we see a symbol in the function descriptor
      section we load the first pointer and use that as the text address.

      perf record: Avoid synthesizing mmap() for all processes in per-thread mode · cf103a14
      Stephane Eranian 提交于
      A bug was introduced by commit c45c6ea2.
      
      Perf record was scanning /proc/PID to create synthetic PERF_RECOR_MMAP
      entries even though it was running in per-thread mode. There was a bogus
      check to select what mmaps to synthesize. We only need all processes in
      system-wide mode.
