perf annotate s390: Fix perf annotate error -95 (4.10 regression)

2017-04-07T15:33:10Z

since 4.10 perf annotate exits on s390 with an "unknown error -95". Turns out that commit 786c1b51844d ("perf annotate: Start supporting cross arch annotation") added a hard requirement for architecture support when objdump is used but only provided x86 and arm support. Meanwhile power was added so lets add s390 as well. While at it make sure to implement the branch and jump types.

perf symbols: Fix symbols__fixup_end heuristic for corner cases

2017-03-17T13:30:22Z

The current symbols__fixup_end() heuristic for the last entry in the rb tree is suboptimal as it leads to not being able to recognize the symbol in the call graph in a couple of corner cases, for example: i) If the symbol has a start address (f.e. exposed via kallsyms) that is at a page boundary, then the roundup(curr->start, 4096) for the last entry will result in curr->start == curr->end with a symbol length of zero. ii) If the symbol has a start address that is shortly before a page boundary, then also here, curr->end - curr->start will just be very few bytes, where it's unrealistic that we could perform a match against. Instead, change the heuristic to roundup(curr->start, 4096) + 4096, so that we can catch such corner cases and have a better chance to find that specific symbol. It's still just best effort as the real end of the symbol is unknown to us (and could even be at a larger offset than the current range), but better than the current situation. Alexei reported that he recently run into case i) with a JITed eBPF program (these are all page aligned) as the last symbol which wasn't properly shown in the call graph (while other eBPF program symbols in the rb tree were displayed correctly). Since this is a generic issue, lets try to improve the heuristic a bit.

2017-02-28T05:41:08Z

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo: "Several noteworthy changes. - Parav's rdma controller is finally merged. It is very straight forward and can limit the abosolute numbers of common rdma constructs used by different cgroups. - kernel/cgroup.c got too chubby and disorganized. Created kernel/cgroup/ subdirectory and moved all cgroup related files under kernel/ there and reorganized the core code. This hurts for backporting patches but was long overdue. - cgroup v2 process listing reimplemented so that it no longer depends on allocating a buffer large enough to cache the entire result to sort and uniq the output. v2 has always mangled the sort order to ensure that users don't depend on the sorted output, so this shouldn't surprise anybody. This makes the pid listing functions use the same iterators that are used internally, which have to have the same iterating capabilities anyway. - perf cgroup filtering now works automatically on cgroup v2. This patch was posted a long time ago but somehow fell through the cracks. - misc fixes asnd documentation updates" * 'for-4.11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup: (27 commits) kernfs: fix locking around kernfs_ops->release() callback cgroup: drop the matching uid requirement on migration for cgroup v2 cgroup, perf_event: make perf_event controller work on cgroup2 hierarchy cgroup: misc cleanups cgroup: call subsys->*attach() only for subsystems which are actually affected by migration cgroup: track migration context in cgroup_mgctx cgroup: cosmetic update to cgroup_taskset_add() rdmacg: Fixed uninitialized current resource usage cgroup: Add missing cgroup-v2 PID controller documentation. rdmacg: Added documentation for rdmacg IB/core: added support to use rdma cgroup controller rdmacg: Added rdma cgroup controller cgroup: fix a comment typo cgroup: fix RCU related sparse warnings cgroup: move namespace code to kernel/cgroup/namespace.c cgroup: rename functions for consistency cgroup: move v1 mount functions to kernel/cgroup/cgroup-v1.c cgroup: separate out cgroup1_kf_syscall_ops cgroup: refactor mount path and clearly distinguish v1 and v2 paths cgroup: move cgroup v1 specific code to kernel/cgroup/cgroup-v1.c ...
