perf ctf: Convert invalid chars in a string before set value

2016-05-27T15:08:40Z

We observed some crazy apps on Android set their comm to unprintable string. For example: # cat /proc/10607/task/*/comm tencent.qqmusic ... Binder_2 日志输出线 <-- Chinese word 'log output thread' WifiManager ... 'perf data convert' fails to convert perf.data with such string to CTF format. For example: # cat << EOF > ./badguy.c #include int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { prctl(PR_SET_NAME, "\xe6\x97\xa5\xe5\xbf\x97\xe8\xbe\x93\xe5\x87\xba\xe7\xba\xbf"); while(1) sleep(1); return 0; } EOF # gcc ./badguy.c # perf record -e sched:* ./a.out # perf data convert --to-ctf ./bad.ctf CTF stream 4 flush failed [ perf data convert: Converted 'perf.data' into CTF data './bad.ctf' ] [ perf data convert: Converted and wrote 0.008 MB (78 samples) ] # babeltrace ./bad.ctf/ [error] Packet size (18446744073709551615 bits) is larger than remaining file size (262144 bits).

perf record: Fix crash when kptr is restricted

2016-05-27T12:41:39Z

Before this patch, a simple 'perf record' could fail if kptr_restrict is set to 1 (for normal user) or 2 (for root): # perf record ls WARNING: Kernel address maps (/proc/{kallsyms,modules}) are restricted, check /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict. Samples in kernel functions may not be resolved if a suitable vmlinux file is not found in the buildid cache or in the vmlinux path. Samples in kernel modules won't be resolved at all. If some relocation was applied (e.g. kexec) symbols may be misresolved even with a suitable vmlinux or kallsyms file. Segmentation fault (core dumped) This patch skips perf_event__synthesize_kernel_mmap() when kptr is not available.

perf symbols: Check kptr_restrict for root

2016-05-27T12:41:23Z

perf record: Rename variable to make code clear

2016-05-23T21:22:47Z

record__mmap_read() writes data from ring buffer into perf.data. 'head' is maintained by the kernel, points to the last written record. 'old' is maintained by perf, points to the record read in previous round. record__mmap_read() saves data from 'old' to 'head' to perf.data. The names of these variables are not very intutive. In addition, when dealing with backward writing ring buffer, the md->prev pointer should point to 'head' instead of the last byte it got. Add 'start' and 'end' pointer to make code clear and set md->prev to 'head' instead of the moved 'old' pointer. This patch doesn't change behavior since: buf = &data[old & md->mask]; size = head - old; old += size; <--- Here, old == head Signed-off-by: Wang Nan Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Masami Hiramatsu Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Zefan Li Cc: pi3orama@163.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1463987628-163563-4-git-send-email-wangnan0@huawei.com Signed-off-by: He Kuang Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf record: Prevent reading invalid data in record__mmap_read

2016-05-23T21:22:46Z

When record__mmap_read() requires data more than the size of ring buffer, drop those data to avoid accessing invalid memory. This can happen when reading from overwritable ring buffer, which should be avoided. However, check this for robustness.
