libperf: evlist: Fix --cpu argument on hybrid platform

2024-12-11T17:19:44Z

Since the linked fixes: commit, specifying a CPU on hybrid platforms results in an error because Perf tries to open an extended type event on "any" CPU which isn't valid. Extended type events can only be opened on CPUs that match the type. Before (working): $ perf record --cpu 1 -- true [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 2.385 MB perf.data (7 samples) ] After (not working): $ perf record -C 1 -- true WARNING: A requested CPU in '1' is not supported by PMU 'cpu_atom' (CPUs 16-27) for event 'cycles:P' Error: The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 22 (Invalid argument) for event (cpu_atom/cycles:P/). /bin/dmesg | grep -i perf may provide additional information. (Ignore the warning message, that's expected and not particularly relevant to this issue). This is because perf_cpu_map__intersect() of the user specified CPU (1) and one of the PMU's CPUs (16-27) correctly results in an empty (NULL) CPU map. However for the purposes of opening an event, libperf converts empty CPU maps into an any CPU (-1) which the kernel rejects. Fix it by deleting evsels with empty CPU maps in the specific case where user requested CPU maps are evaluated.

tools/perf: Correctly calculate sample period for inherited SAMPLE_READ values

2024-10-02T21:58:03Z

Sample period calculation in deliver_sample_value is updated to calculate the per-thread period delta for events that are inherit + PERF_SAMPLE_READ. When the sampling event has this configuration, the read_format.id is used with the tid from the sample to lookup the storage of the previously accumulated counter total before calculating the delta. All existing valid configurations where read_format.value represents some global value continue to use just the read_format.id to locate the storage of the previously accumulated total. perf_sample_id is modified to support tracking per-thread values, along with the existing global per-id values. In the per-thread case, values are stored in a hash by tid within the perf_sample_id, and are dynamically allocated as the number is not known ahead of time.

libperf: Explicitly specify install-html dependencies

2024-09-26T22:45:48Z

install_doc of tools/lib/perf/Makefile invokes install-man, install-html, and install-examples of tools/lib/perf/Documentation/Makefile at once. This invocation succeeds when make runs in serial but can fail when make runs in parallel because while install-man of tools/lib/perf/Documentation/Makefile depends on all, install-html depends on nothing and can run ahead of all. Explicitly specify the dependencies of install-html to ensure that they are resolved before install-html.

libperf cpumap: Ensure empty cpumap is NULL from alloc

2024-03-21T13:41:28Z

Potential corner cases could cause a cpumap to be allocated with size 0, but an empty cpumap should be represented as NULL. Add a path in perf_cpu_map__alloc() to ensure this.

libperf evlist: Avoid out-of-bounds access

Parallel testing appears to show a race between allocating and setting evsel ids. As there is a bounds check on the xyarray it yields a segv like: ``` AddressSanitizer:DEADLYSIGNAL ================================================================= ==484408==ERROR: AddressSanitizer: SEGV on unknown address 0x000000000010 ==484408==The signal is caused by a WRITE memory access. ==484408==Hint: address points to the zero page. #0 0x55cef5d4eff4 in perf_evlist__id_hash tools/lib/perf/evlist.c:256 #1 0x55cef5d4f132 in perf_evlist__id_add tools/lib/perf/evlist.c:274 #2 0x55cef5d4f545 in perf_evlist__id_add_fd tools/lib/perf/evlist.c:315 #3 0x55cef5a1923f in store_evsel_ids util/evsel.c:3130 #4 0x55cef5a19400 in evsel__store_ids util/evsel.c:3147 #5 0x55cef5888204 in __run_perf_stat tools/perf/builtin-stat.c:832 #6 0x55cef5888c06 in run_perf_stat tools/perf/builtin-stat.c:960 #7 0x55cef58932db in cmd_stat tools/perf/builtin-stat.c:2878 ... ``` Avoid this crash by early exiting the perf_evlist__id_add_fd and perf_evlist__id_add is the access is out-of-bounds.
