      perf session: Don't rely on evlist in pipe mode · 0973ad97
      由 David Carrillo-Cisneros 提交于 
      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 · 1e0d4f02
      由 David Carrillo-Cisneros 提交于 
      __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

      perf tools: Handle partial AUX records and print a warning · 05a1f47e
      由 Alexander Shishkin 提交于 
      This patch decodes the 'partial' flag in AUX records and prints
a warning to the user, so that they don't have to guess why their
PT traces contain gaps (or missing altogether):

  Warning:
  AUX data had gaps in it 8 times out of 8!

  Are you running a KVM guest in the background?

Trying to be even more helpful, we will detect if the user's kvm driver sets up
exclusive VMX root mode for the entire lifespan of the kvm process:

  Reloading kvm_intel module with vmm_exclusive=0
  will reduce the gaps to only guest's timeslices.

Note however, that you'll still have gaps in cpu-wide traces even with
vmm_exclusive=0, but the number of gaps will be below 100% (as opposed to the
above example).

Currently this is the only reason for partial records.

      perf tools: Add PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES to include namespaces related info · f3b3614a
      由 Hari Bathini 提交于 
      Introduce a new option to record PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES events emitted
by the kernel when fork, clone, setns or unshare are invoked. And update
perf-record documentation with the new option to record namespace
events.

Committer notes:

Combined it with a later patch to allow printing it via 'perf report -D'
and be able to test the feature introduced in this patch. Had to move
here also perf_ns__name(), that was introduced in another later patch.

Also used PRIu64 and PRIx64 to fix the build in some enfironments wrt:

  util/event.c:1129:39: error: format '%lx' expects argument of type 'long unsigned int', but argument 6 has type 'long long unsigned int' [-Werror=format=]

      perf session: Don't warn about out of order event if write_backward is used · f06149c0

      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.

      perf tools: Add time conversion event · 46bc29b9
      由 Adrian Hunter 提交于 
      Intel PT uses the time members from the perf_event_mmap_page to convert
between TSC and perf time.

Due to a lack of foresight when Intel PT was implemented, those time
members were recorded in the (implementation dependent) AUXTRACE_INFO
event, the structure of which is generally inaccessible outside of the
Intel PT decoder.  However now the conversion between TSC and perf time
is needed when processing a jitdump file when Intel PT has been used for
tracing.

So add a user event to record the time members.  'perf record' will
synthesize the event if the information is available.  And session
processing will put a copy of the event on the session so that tools
like 'perf inject' can easily access it.

      perf kvm record/report: 'unprocessable sample' error while recording/reporting guest data · 3caeaa56
      由 Ravi Bangoria 提交于 
      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 54245fdc
("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:

Also, in perf_session__register_idle_thread() failure path,
the thread should be put before returning.

Refcnt debugger shows that the perf_session__register_idle_thread
gets the returned thread, but the caller (__cmd_top) does not
put the returned idle thread.

      perf record: Avoid infinite loop at buildid processing with no samples · 381c02f6
      由 Mark Rutland 提交于 
      If a session contains no events, we can get stuck in an infinite loop in
__perf_session__process_events, with a non-zero file_size and data_offset, but
a zero data_size.

In this case, we can mmap the entirety of the file (consisting of the file and
attribute headers), and fetch_mmaped_event will correctly refuse to read any
(unmapped and non-existent) event headers. This causes
__perf_session__process_events to unmap the file and retry with the exact same
parameters, getting stuck in an infinite loop.

This has been observed to result in an exit-time hang when counting
rare/unschedulable events with perf record, and can be triggered artificially
with the script below:

  ----
  #!/bin/sh
  printf "REPRO: launching perf\n";
  ./perf record -e software/config=9/ sleep 1 &
  PERF_PID=$!;
  sleep 0.002;
  kill -2 $PERF_PID;
  printf "REPRO: waiting for perf (%d) to exit...\n" "$PERF_PID";
  wait $PERF_PID;
  printf "REPRO: perf exited\n";
  ----

To avoid this, have __perf_session__process_events bail out early when
the file has no data (i.e. it has no events).

Commiter note:

I only managed to reproduce this when setting
/proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict to '1' and changing the code to
purposefully not process any samples and no synthesized samples, i.e.
kptr_restrict prevents 'record' from synthesizing the kernel mmaps for
vmlinux + modules and since it is a workload started from perf, we don't
synthesize mmap/comm records for existing threads.

Adrian Hunter managed to reproduce it in his environment tho.
