perf tests bpf: Use SyS_epoll_wait alias

2016-08-03T22:40:48Z

Something made the sys_epoll_wait() function alias not to be found in the vmlinux DWARF info, being found only in /proc/kallsyms, which made the BPF perf tests to fail: [root@jouet ~]# perf test BPF 37: Test BPF filter : 37.1: Test basic BPF filtering : FAILED! 37.2: Test BPF prologue generation : Skip 37.3: Test BPF relocation checker : Skip [root@jouet ~]# Using -v we can see it is failing to find DWARF info for the probed function, sys_epoll_wait, which we can find in /proc/kallsyms but not in vmlinux with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO: [root@jouet ~]# grep -w sys_epoll_wait /proc/kallsyms ffffffffbd295b50 T sys_epoll_wait [root@jouet ~]# [root@jouet ~]# readelf -wi /lib/modules/4.7.0+/build/vmlinux | grep -w sys_epoll_wait [root@jouet ~]# If we try to use perf probe: [root@jouet ~]# perf probe sys_epoll_wait Failed to find debug information for address ffffffffbd295b50 Probe point 'sys_epoll_wait' not found. Error: Failed to add events. [root@jouet ~]# It all works if we use SyS_epoll_wait, that is just an alias to the probed function: [root@jouet ~]# grep -i sys_epoll_wait /proc/kallsyms ffffffffbd295b50 T SyS_epoll_wait ffffffffbd295b50 T sys_epoll_wait [root@jouet ~]# So use it: [root@jouet ~]# perf test BPF 37: Test BPF filter : 37.1: Test basic BPF filtering : Ok 37.2: Test BPF prologue generation : Ok 37.3: Test BPF relocation checker : Ok [root@jouet ~]# Further info: [root@jouet ~]# gcc --version gcc (GCC) 6.1.1 20160621 (Red Hat 6.1.1-3) [acme@jouet linux]$ cat /etc/fedora-release Fedora release 24 (Twenty Four) Investigation as to why it fails is still underway, but it was always going from sys_epoll_wait to SyS_epoll_wait when looking up the DWARF info in vmlinux, and this is what is breaking now. Switching to use SyS_epoll_wait allows this test to proceed and test the BPF code it was designed for, so lets have this in to allow passing this test while we fix the root cause.

perf tests: objdump output can contain multi byte chunks

2016-08-02T19:42:51Z

objdump's raw insn output can vary across architectures on the number of bytes per chunk (bpc) displayed and their endianness. The code-reading test relied on reading objdump output as 1 bpc. Kaixu Xia reported test failure on ARM64, where objdump displays 4 bpc: 70c48: f90027bf str xzr, [x29,#72] 70c4c: 91224000 add x0, x0, #0x890 70c50: f90023a0 str x0, [x29,#64] This patch adds support to read raw insn output for any bpc length. In case of 2+ bpc it also guesses objdump's display endian.

perf tools: Enable overwrite settings

2016-07-15T20:27:51Z

This patch allows following config terms and option: Globally setting events to overwrite; # perf record --overwrite ... Set specific events to be overwrite or no-overwrite. # perf record --event cycles/overwrite/ ... # perf record --event cycles/no-overwrite/ ... Add missing config terms and update the config term array size because the longest string length has changed. For overwritable events, it automatically selects attr.write_backward since perf requires it to be backward for reading. Test result: # perf record --overwrite -e syscalls:*enter_nanosleep* usleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.011 MB perf.data (1 samples) ] # perf evlist -v syscalls:sys_enter_nanosleep: type: 2, size: 112, config: 0x134, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 1, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|CPU|PERIOD|RAW, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, enable_on_exec: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1, write_backward: 1 # Tip: use 'perf evlist --trace-fields' to show fields for tracepoint events Signed-off-by: Wang Nan Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Acked-by: Jiri Olsa Cc: Masami Hiramatsu Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Nilay Vaish Cc: Zefan Li Cc: pi3orama@163.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1468485287-33422-14-git-send-email-wangnan0@huawei.com Signed-off-by: He Kuang Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf evlist: Drop evlist->backward

2016-07-15T20:27:49Z

Now there's no real user of evlist->backward. Drop it. We are going to use evlist->backward_mmap as a container for backward ring buffer.

perf evlist: Drop redundant evsel->overwrite indicator

2016-07-15T16:38:06Z

evsel->overwrite indicator means an event should be put into overwritable ring buffer. In current implementation, it equals to evsel->attr.write_backward. To reduce compliexity, remove evsel->overwrite, use evsel->attr.write_backward instead. In addition, in __perf_evsel__open(), if kernel doesn't support write_backward and user explicitly set it in evsel, don't fallback like other missing feature, since it is meaningless to fall back to a forward ring buffer in this case: we are unable to stably read from an forward overwritable ring buffer.

Add a basic test case for SDT event support. This test scans an SDT event in perftools and check whether the SDT event is correctly stored into the buildid cache.
