      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
  stress: info: [9027] dispatching hogs: 2 cpu, 0 io, 0 vm, 0 hdd
  stress: info: [9027] successful run completed in 2s
  [ perf record: Woken up 3 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.000 MB - ]

      perf session: Add option to copy events when queueing · 54bf53b1
      由 Alexander Yarygin 提交于 
      When processing events the session code has an ordered samples queue
which is used to time-sort events coming in across multiple mmaps. At a
later point in time samples on the queue are flushed up to some
timestamp at which point the event is actually processed.

When analyzing events live (ie., record/analysis path in the same
command) there is a race that leads to corrupted events and parse errors
which cause perf to terminate. The problem is that when the event is
placed in the ordered samples queue it is only a reference to the event
which is really sitting in the mmap buffer. Even though the event is
queued for later processing the mmap tail pointer is updated which
indicates to the kernel that the event has been processed. The race is
flushing the event from the queue before it gets overwritten by some
other event. For commands trying to process events live (versus just
writing to a file) and processing a high rate of events this leads to
parse failures and perf terminates.

Examples hitting this problem are 'perf kvm stat live', especially with
nested VMs which generate 100,000+ traces per second, and a command
processing scheduling events with a high rate of context switching --
e.g., running 'perf bench sched pipe'.

This patch offers live commands an option to copy the event when it is
placed in the ordered samples queue.
