      perf report: Fix some option handling on --stdio · 4fd113b5
      由 Namhyung Kim 提交于 
      There's a bug that perf report sometimes ignore some options on --stdio
output.  This bug is triggered only if a related config variable is set.
For example, let's assume we have a following config file.

  $ cat ~/.perfconfig
  [call-graph]
    print-type = graph
  [hist]
    percentage = absolute

Then, following perf config will not honor some options.

  $ perf record -ag sleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.199 MB perf.data (77 samples) ]

  $ perf report -g none --stdio
  # To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options.
  #
  # Samples: 77  of event 'cycles'
  # Event count (approx.): 25425383
  #
  # Overhead  Command          Shared Object            Symbol

      16.34%  swapper          [kernel.vmlinux]         [k] intel_idle
                      |
                      ---intel_idle
                         cpuidle_enter_state
                         cpuidle_enter
                         cpu_startup_entry
   ...

With '-g none' option, it should not show callchains, but it still shows
callchains.  However it works as expected on --tui output.

Similarly, '--percentage relative' option is not work and still shows a
absolute percentage values.

Looking at the source, I found that those setting were overwritten by
config variables when setup_pager() called.  The setup_pager() is to
start a pager process so that it can manage long lines of output on the
stdio mode.  But as it calls the perf_config() after parsing arguments,
the settings were overwritten regardless of command line options.

The reason it calls perf_config() is to find the 'pager_program' which
might be set by a config variable, I guess.  However current perf code
does not provide the config variable for it, so it's just meaningless
IMHO.  Eliminating the call makes the option working as expected.

      perf probe: Ignore tail calls to probed functions · d4c537e6

      perf probe currently errors out if there are any tail calls to probed

Fix this by teaching perf to ignore tail calls.

[Ignore the error about failure to write event - this kernel is missing

The reason to ignore tail calls is that the address does not belong to
any function frame. In the example above, the address in SyS_clone is
0xc0000000000bc27c, but looking at the debug-info:

 <1><830081>: Abbrev Number: 133 (DW_TAG_subprogram)
    <830083>   DW_AT_external    : 1
    <830083>   DW_AT_name        : (indirect string, offset: 0x3cea3): SyS_clone
    <830087>   DW_AT_decl_file   : 7

    <830150>   DW_AT_GNU_tail_call: 1
    <830150>   DW_AT_abstract_origin: <0x82e7e1>

The frame ends at 0xc0000000000bc27c. I suppose this is why this
particular call is a "tail" call. FWIW, systemtap seems to ignore these
as well and requires users to explicitly place probes at these call
sites if necessary. I print out the caller so that users know.

      Since it is all associated with the refcount for keeping the thread
in the rbtree, it is excessive and unecessarily complex to hold a
refcont when changing machine->last_match.

      perf probe: Show better error message when failed to find variable · 7d5eaba9

      Indicate to check variable location range in error message when we got
failed to find the variable.

Before this patch:

  $ perf probe --add 'generic_perform_write+118 bytes'
  Failed to find the location of bytes at this address.
   Perhaps, it has been optimized out.
    Error: Failed to add events.

After this patch:

  $ perf probe --add 'generic_perform_write+118 bytes'
  Failed to find the location of the 'bytes' variable at this address.
   Perhaps it has been optimized out.
   Use -V with the --range option to show 'bytes' location range.

      perf probe: Add --range option to show a variable's location range · 349e8d26
      由 He Kuang 提交于 
      It is not easy for users to get the accurate byte offset or the line
number where a local variable can be probed.

With '--range' option, local variables in the scope of the probe point
are showed with a byte offset range, and can be added according to this
range information.

For example, there are some variables in the function
generic_perform_write():

  <generic_perform_write@mm/filemap.c:0>
  0  ssize_t generic_perform_write(struct file *file,
  1                                 struct iov_iter *i, loff_t pos)
  2  {
  3          struct address_space *mapping = file->f_mapping;
  4          const struct address_space_operations *a_ops = mapping->a_ops;
  ...
  42                 status = a_ops->write_begin(file, mapping, pos, bytes, flags,
                                               &page, &fsdata);
  44                 if (unlikely(status < 0))

But we fail when we try to probe the variable 'a_ops' at line 42 or 44.

  $ perf probe --add 'generic_perform_write:42 a_ops'
  Failed to find the location of a_ops at this address.
    Perhaps, it has been optimized out.

This is because the source code do not match the assembly, so a variable
may not be available in the source code line where it appears.

After this patch, we can lookup the accurate byte offset range of a
variable, 'INV' indicates that this variable is not valid at the given
point, but available in the scope:

  $ perf probe --vars 'generic_perform_write:42' --range
  Available variables at generic_perform_write:42
    @<generic_perform_write+141>
       [INV] ssize_t written @<generic_perform_write+[324-331]>
       [INV] struct address_space_operations*        a_ops   @<generic_perform_write+[55-61,170-176,223-246]>
       [VAL] (unknown_type)  fsdata  @<generic_perform_write+[70-307,346-411]>
       [VAL] loff_t  pos     @<generic_perform_write+[0-286,286-336,346-411]>
       [VAL] long int        status  @<generic_perform_write+[83-342,346-411]>
       [VAL] long unsigned int       bytes   @<generic_perform_write+[122-311,320-338,346-403,403-411]>
       [VAL] struct address_space*   mapping @<generic_perform_write+[35-344,346-411]>
       [VAL] struct iov_iter*        i       @<generic_perform_write+[0-340,346-411]>
       [VAL] struct page*    page    @<generic_perform_write+[70-307,346-411]>

Then it is more clear for us to add a probe with this variable:

  $ perf probe --add 'generic_perform_write+170 a_ops'
  Added new event:
    probe:generic_perform_write (on generic_perform_write+170 with a_ops)
