      perf probe: Fix module probe issue if no dwarf support · c61fb959
      由 Ravi Bangoria 提交于 
      Perf is not able to register probe in kernel module when dwarf supprt
is not there(and so it goes for symtab). Perf passes full path of
module where only module name is required which is causing the problem.
This patch fixes this issue.

Before applying patch:

  $ dpkg -s libdw-dev
  dpkg-query: package 'libdw-dev' is not installed and no information is...

  $ sudo ./perf probe -m /linux/samples/kprobes/kprobe_example.ko kprobe_init
  Added new event:
    probe:kprobe_init (on kprobe_init in /linux/samples/kprobes/kprobe_example.ko)

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

  perf record -e probe:kprobe_init -aR sleep 1

  $ sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
  p:probe/kprobe_init /linux/samples/kprobes/kprobe_example.ko:kprobe_init

      perf probe: Fix offline module name missmatch issue · 63a29613
      由 Ravi Bangoria 提交于 
      Perf can add a probe on kernel module which has not been loaded yet.

The current implementation finds the module name from path. But if the
filename is different from the actual module name then perf fails to
register a probe while loading module because of mismatch in the names.

For example, samples/kobject/kobject-example.ko is loaded as
kobject_example.

Before applying patch:

  $ sudo ./perf probe -m /linux/samples/kobject/kobject-example.ko foo_show
    Added new event:
      probe:foo_show       (on foo_show in kobject-example)

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

    perf record -e probe:foo_show -aR sleep 1

  $ cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events

  $ insmod kobject-example.ko

      perf bpf: Allow BPF program config probing options · 03e01f56
      由 Wang Nan 提交于 
      By extending the syntax of BPF object section names, this patch allows users to
config probing options like what they can do in 'perf probe'.

The error message in 'perf probe' is also updated.

Test result:

For following BPF file test_probe_glob.c:

  # cat test_probe_glob.c
  __attribute__((section("inlines=no;func=SyS_dup?"), used))

  int func(void *ctx)
  {
	  return 1;
  }

  char _license[] __attribute__((section("license"), used)) = "GPL";
  int _version __attribute__((section("version"), used)) = 0x40300;
  #
  # ./perf record  -e ./test_probe_glob.c ls /
  ...
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.013 MB perf.data ]
  # ./perf evlist
  perf_bpf_probe:func_1
  perf_bpf_probe:func

After changing "inlines=no" to "inlines=yes":

  # ./perf record  -e ./test_probe_glob.c ls /
  ...
  [ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.013 MB perf.data ]
  # ./perf evlist
  perf_bpf_probe:func_3
  perf_bpf_probe:func_2
  perf_bpf_probe:func_1
  perf_bpf_probe:func

Then test 'force':

Use following program:

  # cat test_probe_force.c
  __attribute__((section("func=sys_write"), used))

  int funca(void *ctx)
  {
	  return 1;
  }

  __attribute__((section("force=yes;func=sys_write"), used))

  int funcb(void *ctx)
  {
  	return 1;
  }

  char _license[] __attribute__((section("license"), used)) = "GPL";
  int _version __attribute__((section("version"), used)) = 0x40300;
  #

  # perf record -e ./test_probe_force.c usleep 1
  Error: event "func" already exists.
   Hint: Remove existing event by 'perf probe -d'
       or force duplicates by 'perf probe -f'
       or set 'force=yes' in BPF source.
  event syntax error: './test_probe_force.c'
                       \___ Probe point exist. Try 'perf probe -d "*"' and set 'force=yes'

  (add -v to see detail)
  ...

Then replace 'force=no' to 'force=yes':

  # vim test_probe_force.c
  # perf record -e ./test_probe_force.c usleep 1

  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.017 MB perf.data ]

      perf probe: Use existing routine to look for a kernel module by dso->short_name · 266fa2b2
      由 Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 提交于 
      We have map_groups__find_by_name() to look at the list of modules that
are in place for a given machine, so use it instead of traversing the
machine dso list, which also includes DSOs for userspace.

When merging the user and kernel DSO lists a bug was introduced where
'perf probe' stopped being able to add probes to modules using its short
name:

  # perf probe -m usbnet --add usbnet_start_xmit
  usbnet_start_xmit is out of .text, skip it.
    Error: Failed to add events.
  #

With this fix it works again:

  # perf probe -m usbnet --add usbnet_start_xmit
  Added new event:
    probe:usbnet_start_xmit (on usbnet_start_xmit in usbnet)

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

  	perf record -e probe:usbnet_start_xmit -aR sleep 1

      perf probe: Support probing at absolute address · da15bd9d
      由 Wang Nan 提交于 
      It should be useful to allow 'perf probe' probe at absolute offset of a
target. For example, when (u)probing at a instruction of a shared object
in a embedded system where debuginfo is not avaliable but we know the
offset of that instruction by manually digging.

This patch enables following perf probe command syntax:

  # perf probe 0xffffffff811e6615

And

  # perf probe /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc-2.19.so 0xeb860

In the above example, we don't need a anchor symbol, so it is possible
to compute absolute addresses using other methods and then use 'perf
probe' to create the probing points.

v1 -> v2:
  Drop the leading '+' in cmdline;
  Allow uprobing at offset 0x0;
  Improve 'perf probe -l' result when uprobe at area without debuginfo.

v2 -> v3:
  Split bugfix to a separated patch.

Test result:

      perf probe: Fix list result when address is zero · be07afe9
      由 Wang Nan 提交于 
      When manually added uprobe point with zero address, 'perf probe -l'
reports error. For example:

  # echo p:probe_libc/abs_0 /path/to/lib.bin:0x0 arg1=%ax > \

  # perf probe -l
  Error: Failed to show event list.

Probing at 0x0 is possible and useful when lib.bin is not a normal
shared object but is manually mapped. However, in this case kernel
report:

  # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events
  p:probe_libc/abs_0 /path/to/lib.bin:0x          (null) arg1=%ax

This patch supports the above kernel output.

      'perf probe -l' reports error if it is unable find symbol through

  # echo 'p:probe_libc/abs_5 /lib64/libc.so.6:0x5' >

Also, this situation triggers a logical inconsistency in
convert_to_perf_probe_point() that, it returns ENOMEM but actually it
never try strdup().

This patch removes !tp->module && !is_kprobe condition, so it always
uses address to build function name if symbol not found.

 An error occurred in debuginfo analysis (-2).

The reason is caused by libdw that, if libdw is statically linked, it
can't load libebl_{arch}.so reliable.

In this case it is still possible to get the address from
/proc/kalksyms.  However, perf tries that only when libdw returns
-EBADF.

This patch gives it another chance to utilize symbol table, even if
libdw returns an error code other than -EBADF.

 Open Debuginfo file: /lib/modules/4.2.0-rc1+/build/vmlinux
 Try to find probe point from debuginfo.
 Symbol sys_epoll_pwait address found : ffffffff8122bd40
 Matched function: SyS_epoll_pwait
 Failed to get call frame on 0xffffffff8122bd40
 An error occurred in debuginfo analysis (-2).

 Added new event:
 Writing event: p:probe/sys_epoll_pwait _text+2276672
   probe:sys_epoll_pwait (on sys_epoll_pwait)

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

 	perf record -e probe:sys_epoll_pwait -aR sleep 1

Although libdw returns an error (Failed to get call frame), perf tries
symbol table and finally gets correct address.

      perf probe: Fix failure to probe events on arm · 7c31bb8c
      由 He Kuang 提交于 
      Fix failure to probe events on arm, the problem was introduced by commit
5a51fcd1 ("perf probe: Skip kernel symbols which is out of .text").

For some architectures, the '_etext' label is not in the .text section
(in the .notes section for arm/arm64).  Labels out of the .text section
are not loaded as symbols and we get a zero value when looking up its
addresses, which causes all events to be wrongly skipped.

This patch skips checking the text address range when failing to get the
address of '_etext' and thus fixes the problem.

The problem can be reproduced on arm as follows:

  # perf probe --add='generic_perform_write'
  generic_perform_write+0 is out of .text, skip it.
  Probe point 'generic_perform_write' not found.
    Error: Failed to add events.

After this patch:

  # perf probe --add='generic_perform_write'
  Added new event:
    probe:generic_perform_write (on generic_perform_write)

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

    perf record -e probe:generic_perform_write -aR sleep 1
