perf tools beauty ioctl: Support new ISO7816 commands

2018-11-19T20:38:50Z

Introduced in: ad8c0eaa0a41 ("tty/serial_core: add ISO7816 infrastructure") Now 'perf trace' will be able to pretty-print the 'cmd' ioctl arg when used in capable systems with software emitting those commands.

perf tools: Restore proper cwd on return from mnt namespace

2018-11-19T20:12:26Z

When reporting on 'record' server we try to retrieve/use the mnt namespace of the profiled tasks. We use following API with cookie to hold the return namespace, roughly: nsinfo__mountns_enter(struct nsinfo *nsi, struct nscookie *nc) setns(newns, 0); ... new ns related open.. ... nsinfo__mountns_exit(struct nscookie *nc) setns(nc->oldns) Once finished we setns to old namespace, which also sets the current working directory (cwd) to "/", trashing the cwd we had. This is mostly fine, because we use absolute paths almost everywhere, but it screws up 'perf diff': # perf diff failed to open perf.data: No such file or directory (try 'perf record' first) ... Adding the current working directory to be part of the cookie and restoring it in the nsinfo__mountns_exit call.

tools build feature: Check if get_current_dir_name() is available

2018-11-19T20:12:17Z

As the namespace support code will use this, which is not available in some non _GNU_SOURCE libraries such as Android's bionic used in my container build tests (r12b and r15c at the moment).

perf tools: Fix crash on synthesizing the unit

2018-11-12T16:37:49Z

Adam reported a record command crash for simple session like: $ perf record -e cpu-clock ls with following backtrace: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 3543 ev = event_update_event__new(size + 1, PERF_EVENT_UPDATE__UNIT, evsel->id[0]); (gdb) bt #0 perf_event__synthesize_event_update_unit #1 0x000000000051e469 in perf_event__synthesize_extra_attr #2 0x00000000004445cb in record__synthesize #3 0x0000000000444bc5 in __cmd_record ... We synthesize an update event that needs to touch the evsel id array, which is not defined at that time. Fix this by forcing the id allocation for events with their unit defined. Reflecting possible read_format ID bit in the attr tests.

perf tools: Do not zero sample_id_all for group members

2018-11-06T11:29:56Z

Andi reported following malfunction: # perf record -e '{ref-cycles,cycles}:S' -a sleep 1 # perf script non matching sample_id_all That's because we disable sample_id_all bit for non-sampling group members. We can't do that, because it needs to be the same over the whole event list. This patch keeps it untouched again.

perf tools: Fix undefined symbol scnprintf in libperf-jvmti.so

2018-11-05T19:28:00Z

Currently jvmti agent can not be used because function scnprintf is not present in the agent libperf-jvmti.so. As a result the JVM when using such agent to record JITed code profiling information will fail on looking up scnprintf: java: symbol lookup error: lib/libperf-jvmti.so: undefined symbol: scnprintf This commit fixes that by reverting to the use of snprintf, that can be looked up, instead of scnprintf, adding a proper check for the returned value in order to print a better error message when the jitdump file pathname is too long. Checking the returned value also helps to comply with some recent gcc versions, like gcc8, which will fail due to truncated writing checks related to the -Werror=format-truncation= flag.

perf intel-pt: Add MTC and CYC timestamps to debug log

2018-11-05T17:53:54Z
