In debian/ubuntu, libc.so is located at a different place,
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc-2.23.so, so it outputs like this when testing:

  PING ::1(::1) 56 data bytes
  64 bytes from ::1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.040 ms

Fix up the libc path to make sure this test works in more OSes.

Committer testing:

When this test fails one can use 'perf test -v', i.e. in verbose mode, where
it'll show the expected backtrace, so, after applying this test:

In current xyarray code, xyarray__max_x() returns max_y, and xyarray__max_y()
returns max_x.

It's confusing and for code logic it looks not correct.

Error happens when closing evsel fd. Let's see this scenario:

1. Allocate an fd (pseudo-code)

  perf_evsel__alloc_fd(struct perf_evsel *evsel, int ncpus, int nthreads)
  {
	evsel->fd = xyarray__new(ncpus, nthreads, sizeof(int));
  }

  xyarray__new(int xlen, int ylen, size_t entry_size)
  {
	size_t row_size = ylen * entry_size;
	struct xyarray *xy = zalloc(sizeof(*xy) + xlen * row_size);

	xy->entry_size = entry_size;
	xy->row_size   = row_size;
	xy->entries    = xlen * ylen;
	xy->max_x      = xlen;
	xy->max_y      = ylen;
	......
  }

So max_x is ncpus, max_y is nthreads and row_size = nthreads * 4.

2. Use perf syscall and get the fd

  int perf_evsel__open(struct perf_evsel *evsel, struct cpu_map *cpus,
		     struct thread_map *threads)
  {
	for (cpu = 0; cpu < cpus->nr; cpu++) {

		for (thread = 0; thread < nthreads; thread++) {
			int fd, group_fd;

			fd = sys_perf_event_open(&evsel->attr, pid, cpus->map[cpu],
						 group_fd, flags);

			FD(evsel, cpu, thread) = fd;
	}
  }

  static inline void *xyarray__entry(struct xyarray *xy, int x, int y)
  {
	return &xy->contents[x * xy->row_size + y * xy->entry_size];
  }

These codes don't have issues. The issue happens in the closing of fd.

3. Close fd.

  void perf_evsel__close_fd(struct perf_evsel *evsel)
  {
	int cpu, thread;

	for (cpu = 0; cpu < xyarray__max_x(evsel->fd); cpu++)
		for (thread = 0; thread < xyarray__max_y(evsel->fd); ++thread) {
			close(FD(evsel, cpu, thread));
			FD(evsel, cpu, thread) = -1;
		}
  }

  Since xyarray__max_x() returns max_y (nthreads) and xyarry__max_y()
  returns max_x (ncpus), so above code is actually to be:

        for (cpu = 0; cpu < nthreads; cpu++)
                for (thread = 0; thread < ncpus; ++thread) {
                        close(FD(evsel, cpu, thread));
                        FD(evsel, cpu, thread) = -1;
                }

  It's not correct!

This change is introduced by "475fb533" ("perf evsel: Fix buffer overflow
while freeing events")

This fix is to let xyarray__max_x() return max_x (ncpus) and
let xyarry__max_y() return max_y (nthreads)

Committer note:

Thomas reported that 'perf buildid-list' gets a SEGFAULT due to NULL
pointer deref when he ran it on a data with namespace events.  It was
because the buildid_id__mark_dso_hit_ops lacks the namespace event
handler and perf_too__fill_default() didn't set it.

Fix it by adding a stub event handler for namespace event.

Committer testing:

Further clarifying, plain using 'perf buildid-list' will not end up in a
SEGFAULT when processing a perf.data file with namespace info:

It is only when one asks for checking what of those entries actually had
samples, i.e. when we use either -H or --with-hits, that we will process
all the PERF_RECORD_ events, and since tools/perf/builtin-buildid-list.c
neither explicitely set a perf_tool.namespaces() callback nor the
default stub was set that we end up, when processing a
PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACE record, causing a SEGFAULT:

Adding the check wether the eBPF file exists, to consider it
as eBPF input file. This way we can differentiate eBPF events
from events that end up with same suffix as eBPF file.

Before:

  $ perf stat -e 'cpu/uops_executed.core/'  true
  bpf: builtin compilation failed: -95, try external compiler
  WARNING:        unable to get correct kernel building directory.
  Hint:   Set correct kbuild directory using 'kbuild-dir' option in [llvm]

          detection.

and show following warning:

Du Changbin reported crash [1] when calling perf_hpp__reset_output_field()
after unregistering field via perf_hpp__column_unregister().

This ends up in calling following list_del* sequence on
the same format:

  perf_hpp__column_unregister:
    list_del(&format->list);
  perf_hpp__reset_output_field:
    list_del_init(&fmt->list);

where the later list_del_init might touch already freed formats.

Fixing this by replacing list_del() with list_del_init() in
perf_hpp__column_unregister().

Currently, perf record is broken on arm/arm64 systems when the PMU is
specified explicitly as part of the event, e.g.

$ ./perf record -e armv8_cortex_a53/cpu_cycles/u true

In such cases, perf record fails to open events unless
perf_event_paranoid is set to -1, even if the PMU in question supports
mode exclusion. Further, even when perf_event_paranoid is toggled, no
samples are recorded.

This is an unintended side effect of commit:

  e3ba76de ("perf tools: Force uncore events to system wide monitoring)

... which assumes that if a PMU has an associated cpu_map, it is an
uncore PMU, and forces events for such PMUs to be system-wide.

This is not true for arm/arm64 systems, which can have heterogeneous
CPUs. To account for this, multiple CPU PMUs are exposed, each with a
"cpus" field under sysfs, which the perf tool parses into a cpu_map. ARM
PMUs do not have a "cpumask" file, and only have a "cpus" file. For the
gory details as to why, see commit:

 7e3fcffe ("perf pmu: Support alternative sysfs cpumask")

Given all of this, we can instead identify uncore PMUs by explicitly
checking for a "cpumask" file, and restore arm/arm64 PMU support back to
a working state. This patch does so, adding a new perf_pmu::is_uncore
field, and splitting the existing cpumask parsing so that it can be
reused.

Prior to commit 55b9b508 ("perf script: Support -F brstack,dso and
brstacksym,dso"), we were printing a space before the brstack data. It
seems that this space was important.  Without it, parsing is difficult.

Very sorry for the mistake.

Notice here how the "ip" and "brstack" run together:

$ perf script -F ip,brstack | head -n 1
          22e18c40x22e19e2/0x22e190b/P/-/-/0 0x22e19a1/0x22e19d0/P/-/-/0 0x22e195d/0x22e1990/P/-/-/0 0x22e18e9/0x22e1943/P/-/-/0 0x22e1a69/0x22e18c0/P/-/-/0 0x22e19f7/0x22e1a20/P/-/-/0 0x22e1910/0x22e19ee/P/-/-/0 0x22e19e2/0x22e190b/P/-/-/0 0x22e19a1/0x22e19d0/P/-/-/0 0x22e195d/0x22e1990/P/-/-/0 0x22e18e9/0x22e1943/P/-/-/0 0x22e1a69/0x22e18c0/P/-/-/0 0x22e19f7/0x22e1a20/P/-/-/0 0x22e1910/0x22e19ee/P/-/-/0 0x22e19e2/0x22e190b/P/-/-/0 0x22e19a1/0x22e19d0/P/-/-/0

Two functions from different binaries can have same start address. Thus,
comparing only start address in match_chain() leads to inconsistent

With --call-graph option, perf report can display call chains using
type, min percent threshold, optional print limit and order. And the
default call-graph parameter is 'graph,0.5,caller,function,percent'.

Before this patch, 'perf report --call-graph' shows incorrect debug
messages as below:

  # perf report --call-graph
  Invalid callchain mode: 0.5
  Invalid callchain order: 0.5
  Invalid callchain sort key: 0.5
  Invalid callchain config key: 0.5
  Invalid callchain mode: caller
  Invalid callchain mode: function
  Invalid callchain order: function
  Invalid callchain mode: percent
  Invalid callchain order: percent
  Invalid callchain sort key: percent

That is because in function __parse_callchain_report_opt(),each field of
the call-graph parameter is passed to parse_callchain_{mode,order,
sort_key,value} in turn until it meets the matching value.

For example, the order field "caller" is passed to
parse_callchain_mode() firstly and obviously it doesn't match any mode
field. Therefore parse_callchain_mode() will shows the debug message
"Invalid callchain mode: caller", which could confuse users.

The patch fixes this issue by moving the warning out of the function
parse_callchain_{mode,order,sort_key,value}.

Yet another fix for probing the max attr.precise_ip setting: it is not
enough settting attr.exclude_kernel for !root users, as they _can_
profile the kernel if the kernel.perf_event_paranoid sysctl is set to
-1, so check that as well.

Testing it:

As non root:

  $ sysctl kernel.perf_event_paranoid
  kernel.perf_event_paranoid = 2
  $ perf record sleep 1
  $ perf evlist -v
  cycles:uppp: ..., exclude_kernel: 1, ... precise_ip: 3, ...

Now as non-root, but with kernel.perf_event_paranoid set set to the
most permissive value, -1:

  $ sysctl kernel.perf_event_paranoid
  kernel.perf_event_paranoid = -1
  $ perf record sleep 1
  $ perf evlist -v
  cycles:ppp: ..., exclude_kernel: 0, ... precise_ip: 3, ...
  $

I.e. non-root, default kernel.perf_event_paranoid: :uppp modifier = not allowed to sample the kernel,
     non-root, most permissible kernel.perf_event_paranoid: :ppp = allowed to sample the kernel.

In both cases, use the highest available precision: attr.precise_ip = 3.

Now that I'm switching the container builds from using a local volume
pointing to the kernel repository with the perf sources, instead getting
a detached tarball to be able to use a container cluster, some places
broke because I forgot to put some of the required files in
tools/perf/MANIFEST, namely some bitsperlong.h files.

So, to fix it do the same as for tools/build/ and pack the whole
tools/arch/ directory.

GFP_TEMPORARY was introduced by commit e12ba74d ("Group short-lived
and reclaimable kernel allocations") along with __GFP_RECLAIMABLE.  It's
primary motivation was to allow users to tell that an allocation is
short lived and so the allocator can try to place such allocations close
together and prevent long term fragmentation.  As much as this sounds
like a reasonable semantic it becomes much less clear when to use the
highlevel GFP_TEMPORARY allocation flag.  How long is temporary? Can the
context holding that memory sleep? Can it take locks? It seems there is
no good answer for those questions.

The current implementation of GFP_TEMPORARY is basically GFP_KERNEL |
__GFP_RECLAIMABLE which in itself is tricky because basically none of
the existing caller provide a way to reclaim the allocated memory.  So
this is rather misleading and hard to evaluate for any benefits.

I have checked some random users and none of them has added the flag
with a specific justification.  I suspect most of them just copied from
other existing users and others just thought it might be a good idea to
use without any measuring.  This suggests that GFP_TEMPORARY just
motivates for cargo cult usage without any reasoning.

I believe that our gfp flags are quite complex already and especially
those with highlevel semantic should be clearly defined to prevent from
confusion and abuse.  Therefore I propose dropping GFP_TEMPORARY and
replace all existing users to simply use GFP_KERNEL.  Please note that
SLAB users with shrinkers will still get __GFP_RECLAIMABLE heuristic and
so they will be placed properly for memory fragmentation prevention.

I can see reasons we might want some gfp flag to reflect shorterm
allocations but I propose starting from a clear semantic definition and
only then add users with proper justification.

This was been brought up before LSF this year by Matthew [1] and it
turned out that GFP_TEMPORARY really doesn't have a clear semantic.  It
seems to be a heuristic without any measured advantage for most (if not
all) its current users.  The follow up discussion has revealed that
opinions on what might be temporary allocation differ a lot between
developers.  So rather than trying to tweak existing users into a
semantic which they haven't expected I propose to simply remove the flag
and start from scratch if we really need a semantic for short term
allocations.

Previously the part behind "perf-" was interpreted as an internal perf
command. If the suffix could not be handled, the execution was stopped.
This makes it impossible to launch perf binaries that got renamed to
have the `perf-` prefix. This is e.g. the case for appimages (e.g.
"perf-x86_64.AppImage"), but would also apply to all other scenarios
where users symlink or rename perf themselves:

Status quo with the broken behavior:

  $ ln -s ./perf ./perf-custom-suffix
  $ ./perf-custom-suffix list
  cannot handle custom-suffix internally$

Also note the missing newline at the end of the error message.

With this patch applied, the above works properly:

  $ ./perf-custom-suffix list

We currently update the 'next' variable only with a single step value.
But it's possible the 'adv' update is bigger than single 'step' value.

Unlikely, but we could have ui_progress__init being called with total <

unnecessary ui_progress__ops->update calls because 'next' would never

When cross compiling perf and I want to link against a self-compiled
libunwind, I usually make the custom path where the libunwind headers
exist visible by adding the libunwind prefix to the include path when
compiling perf, i.e.:

~~~~~
$ ls $HOME/projects/compiled/other/include/
libunwind-coredump.h  libunwind.h         libunwind-x86_64.h

unwind.h
$ make EXTRA_CFLAGS="-I$HOME/projects/compiled/other/include/

Note the `unwind.h` header from libunwind which leads to compile
errors when compiling tests/dwarf-unwind.c, since it shadows perf's
util/unwind.h:

PMU aliases with the same name that introduced this coalescing,
restoring the previous behaviour for the explicit case:

  # perf stat -e cycles -e cycles -e cycles usleep 1

   Performance counter stats for 'usleep 1':

         1,472,837      cycles
         1,472,837      cycles
         1,472,837      cycles

Some POWER PMU event names have multiple/alternate event codes. These
alternate event codes were listed in the POWER9 JSON files for
reference.

But the perf tool does not seem to handle duplicates cleanly. 'perf
list' shows such duplicate events only once, but 'perf stat' ends up
counting the first event code twice, multiplexing if necessary and we
end up with double the event counts.

Remove the duplicate event codes from the JSON files for now.

configuration items must be in 'key = value' format, otherwise the
following error message occurs:

Changing to assigning a value to the key 'mispred-all' fixes the issue:

'Object code reading' test always fails on powerpc guest. Two reasons
for the failure are:

1. When elf section is too big (size beyond 'unsigned int' max value).
objdump fails to disassemble from such section. This was fixed with
commit 0f6329bd7fc ("binutils/objdump: Fix disassemble for huge elf
sections") in binutils.

2. When the sample is from hypervisor. Hypervisor symbols can not be
resolved within guest and thus thread__find_addr_map() fails for such
symbols. Fix this by ignoring hypervisor symbols in the test.

So now we can use:

  # perf trace -e pkey_*
   532.784 ( 0.006 ms): pkey/16018 pkey_alloc(init_val: DISABLE_WRITE) = -1 EINVAL Invalid argument
   532.795 ( 0.004 ms): pkey/16018 pkey_mprotect(start: 0x7f380d0a6000, len: 4096, prot: READ|WRITE, pkey: -1) = 0

  ^C[root@jouet ~]#

Or '-e epoll*', '-e *msg*', etc.

Combining syscall names with perf events, tracepoints, etc, continues to
be valid, i.e. this is possible:

  # perf probe -L sys_nanosleep
  <SyS_nanosleep@/home/acme/git/linux/kernel/time/hrtimer.c:0>
      0  SYSCALL_DEFINE2(nanosleep, struct timespec __user *, rqtp,
                        struct timespec __user *, rmtp)
         {
                struct timespec64 tu;

      5         if (get_timespec64(&tu, rqtp))
      6                 return -EFAULT;

                if (!timespec64_valid(&tu))
      9                 return -EINVAL;

     11         current->restart_block.nanosleep.type = rmtp ? TT_NATIVE : TT_NONE;
     12         current->restart_block.nanosleep.rmtp = rmtp;
     13         return hrtimer_nanosleep(&tu, HRTIMER_MODE_REL, CLOCK_MONOTONIC);
         }

  # perf probe my_probe="sys_nanosleep:12 rmtp"
  Added new event:
    probe:my_probe       (on sys_nanosleep:12 with rmtp)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

	perf record -e probe:my_probe -aR sleep 1

  #

With two new methods, one to find the first match, returning its syscall
id and its index in whatever internal database it keeps the syscall
into, then one to find the next match, if any.

Implemented only on arches where we actually read the syscall table from
the kernel sources, i.e. x86-64 for now, all the others use the libaudit
method for which this returns -1, i.e. just stubs were added, with the
actual implementation using whatever libaudit functions for matching
that may be available.

The branch history code has a loop detection function. With this, we can
get the number of iterations by calculating the removed loops.

While it would be nice for knowing the average cycles of iterations.
This patch adds up the cycles in branch entries of removed loops and
save the result to the next branch entry (e.g. branch entry A).

Finally it will display the iteration number and average cycles at the
"from" of branch entry A.

For example:
perf record -g -j any,save_type ./div
perf report --branch-history --no-children --stdio

--22.63%--main div.c:42 (RET CROSS_2M)
          compute_flag div.c:28 (cycles:2 iter:173115 avg_cycles:2)

           --10.73%--compute_flag div.c:27 (RET CROSS_2M)

On x86, the plt header size is as same as the plt entry size, and can be
identified from shdr's sh_entsize of the plt.

But we can't assume that the sh_entsize of the plt shdr is always the
plt entry size in all architecture, and the plt header size may be not
as same as the plt entry size in some architecure.

On ARM, the plt header size is 20 bytes and the plt entry size is 12
bytes (don't consider the FOUR_WORD_PLT case) that refer to the binutils
implementation. The plt section is as follows:

On AARCH64, the plt header size is 32 bytes and the plt entry size is 16
bytes.  The plt section is as follows:

The commit 9aaf5a5f ("perf probe: Check kprobes blacklist when
adding new events"), 'perf probe' supports checking the blacklist of the
fuctions which can not be probed.  But the checking condition is wrong,
that the end_addr of the symbol which is the start_addr of the next
symbol can't be included.

Committer notes:

IOW make it match its kernel counterpart in kernel/kprobes.c:

  bool within_kprobe_blacklist(unsigned long addr)

Each entry have as its end address not its end address, but the first
address _outside_ that symbol, which for related functions, is the first
address of the next symbol, like these from kernel/trace/trace_probe.c:

0xffffffffbd198df0-0xffffffffbd198e40	print_type_u8
0xffffffffbd198e40-0xffffffffbd198e90	print_type_u16
0xffffffffbd198e90-0xffffffffbd198ee0	print_type_u32
0xffffffffbd198ee0-0xffffffffbd198f30	print_type_u64
0xffffffffbd198f30-0xffffffffbd198f80	print_type_s8
0xffffffffbd198f80-0xffffffffbd198fd0	print_type_s16
0xffffffffbd198fd0-0xffffffffbd199020	print_type_s32
0xffffffffbd199020-0xffffffffbd199070	print_type_s64
0xffffffffbd199070-0xffffffffbd1990c0	print_type_x8
0xffffffffbd1990c0-0xffffffffbd199110	print_type_x16
0xffffffffbd199110-0xffffffffbd199160	print_type_x32
0xffffffffbd199160-0xffffffffbd1991b0	print_type_x64

But not always:

Reuse 'mprotect' beautifiers for 'pkey_mprotect'.

System wide tracing pkey_alloc, pkey_free and pkey_mprotect calls, with
backtraces:

                                       pkey_free (/home/acme/c/pkey)

The tools/include/uapi/asm-generic/mman-common.h file is used to find
the access rights defines for the pkey_alloc syscall second argument.

Since we have the detector of changes for the tools/include header files
versus its kernel origin (include/uapi/asm-generic/mman-common.h), we'll
get whatever new flag appears for that argument automatically.

This method should be used in other cases where it is easy to generate
those flags tables because the header has properly namespaced defines
like PKEY_DISABLE_ACCESS and PKEY_DISABLE_WRITE.
