<id>urn:sha1:a9ffd0484eb4426e6befd07e7be6c01108716302</id>
<content type='text'>
Since some gcc generates a broken DWARF which lacks DW_AT_declaration
attribute from the subprogram DIE of function prototype.
(https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=97060)

So, in addition to the DW_AT_declaration check, we also check the
subprogram DIE has DW_AT_inline or actual entry pc.

Committer testing:

  # cat /etc/fedora-release
  Fedora release 33 (Thirty Three)
  #

Before:

  # perf test vfs_getname
  78: Use vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames             : FAILED!
  79: Check open filename arg using perf trace + vfs_getname          : FAILED!
  81: Add vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames             : FAILED!
  #

After:

  # perf test vfs_getname
  78: Use vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames             : Ok
  79: Check open filename arg using perf trace + vfs_getname          : Ok
  81: Add vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames             : Ok

Fix die_entrypc() to return error correctly if the DIE has no
DW_AT_ranges attribute. Since dwarf_ranges() will treat the case as an
empty ranges and return 0, we have to check it by ourselves.

<title>perf stat: Use proper cpu for shadow stats</title>
<updated>2020-11-27T17:31:37Z</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.shady.money/linux/commit/?id=c0ee1d5ae8c8650031badcfca6483a28c0f94f38'/>
<id>urn:sha1:c0ee1d5ae8c8650031badcfca6483a28c0f94f38</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently perf stat shows some metrics (like IPC) for defined events.
But when no aggregation mode is used (-A option), it shows incorrect
values since it used a value from a different cpu.

Before:

  $ perf stat -aA -e cycles,instructions sleep 1

   Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

  CPU0      116,057,380      cycles
  CPU1       86,084,722      cycles
  CPU2       99,423,125      cycles
  CPU3       98,272,994      cycles
  CPU0       53,369,217      instructions      #    0.46  insn per cycle
  CPU1       33,378,058      instructions      #    0.29  insn per cycle
  CPU2       58,150,086      instructions      #    0.50  insn per cycle
  CPU3       40,029,703      instructions      #    0.34  insn per cycle

       1.001816971 seconds time elapsed

So the IPC for CPU1 should be 0.38 (= 33,378,058 / 86,084,722)
but it was 0.29 (= 33,378,058 / 116,057,380) and so on.

After:

  $ perf stat -aA -e cycles,instructions sleep 1

   Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

  CPU0      109,621,384      cycles
  CPU1      159,026,454      cycles
  CPU2       99,460,366      cycles
  CPU3      124,144,142      cycles
  CPU0       44,396,706      instructions      #    0.41  insn per cycle
  CPU1      120,195,425      instructions      #    0.76  insn per cycle
  CPU2       44,763,978      instructions      #    0.45  insn per cycle
  CPU3       69,049,079      instructions      #    0.56  insn per cycle

       1.001910444 seconds time elapsed

<title>perf record: Synthesize cgroup events only if needed</title>

<content type='text'>
It didn't check the tool-&gt;cgroup_events bit which is set when the
--all-cgroups option is given.  Without it, samples will not have cgroup
info so no reason to synthesize.

We can check the PERF_RECORD_CGROUP records after running perf record
*WITHOUT* the --all-cgroups option:

Before:

  $ perf report -D | grep CGROUP
  0 0 0x8430 [0x38]: PERF_RECORD_CGROUP cgroup: 1 /
          CGROUP events:          1
          CGROUP events:          0
          CGROUP events:          0

After:

  $ perf report -D | grep CGROUP
          CGROUP events:          0
          CGROUP events:          0
          CGROUP events:          0

Committer testing:

Before:

  # perf record -a sleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 2.208 MB perf.data (10003 samples) ]
  # perf report -D | grep "CGROUP events"
            CGROUP events:        146
            CGROUP events:          0
            CGROUP events:          0
  #

After:

  # perf record -a sleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 2.208 MB perf.data (10448 samples) ]
  # perf report -D | grep "CGROUP events"
            CGROUP events:          0
            CGROUP events:          0
            CGROUP events:          0
  #

With all-cgroups:

  # perf record --all-cgroups -a sleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 2.374 MB perf.data (11526 samples) ]
  # perf report -D | grep "CGROUP events"

To pick the changes in:

  7a078d2d18801bba ("libbpf, hashmap: Fix undefined behavior in hash_bits")

That don't entail any changes in tools/perf.

This addresses this perf build warning:

  Warning: Kernel ABI header at 'tools/perf/util/hashmap.h' differs from latest version at 'tools/lib/bpf/hashmap.h'
  diff -u tools/perf/util/hashmap.h tools/lib/bpf/hashmap.h

Not a kernel ABI, its just that this uses the mechanism in place for
checking kernel ABI files drift.

<title>perf test: Avoid an msan warning in a copied stack.</title>

This fix is for a failure that occurred in the DWARF unwind perf test.

Stack unwinders may probe memory when looking for frames.

Memory sanitizer will poison and track uninitialized memory on the
stack, and on the heap if the value is copied to the heap.

This can lead to false memory sanitizer failures for the use of an
uninitialized value.

Avoid this problem by removing the poison on the copied stack.

The full msan failure with track origins looks like:

<title>perf inject: Fix file corruption due to event deletion</title>

<id>urn:sha1:1c756cd429d8f3da33d31f2a970284b9d5260534</id>
<content type='text'>
"perf inject" can create corrupt files when synthesizing sample events from AUX
data. This happens when in the input file, the first event (for the AUX data)
has a different sample_type from the second event (generally dummy).

Specifically, they differ in the bits that indicate the standard fields
appended to perf records in the mmap buffer. "perf inject" deletes the first
event and moves up the second event to first position.

The problem is with the synthetic PERF_RECORD_MMAP (etc.) events created
by "perf record".

Since these are synthetic versions of events which are normally produced
by the kernel, they have to have the standard fields appended as
described by sample_type.

"perf record" fills these in with zeroes, including the IDENTIFIER
field; perf readers interpret records with zero IDENTIFIER using the
descriptor for the first event in the file.

Since "perf inject" changes the first event, these synthetic records are
then processed with the wrong value of sample_type, and the perf reader
reads bad data, reports on incorrect length records etc.

Mismatching sample_types are seen with "perf record -e cs_etm//", where the AUX
event has TID|TIME|CPU|IDENTIFIER and the dummy event has TID|TIME|IDENTIFIER.

Perhaps they could be the same, but it isn't normally a problem if they aren't
- perf has no problems reading the file.

The sample_types have to agree on the position of IDENTIFIER, because
that's how perf finds the right event descriptor in the first place, but
they don't normally have to agree on other fields, and perf doesn't
check that they do.

The problem is specific to the way "perf inject" reorganizes the events
and the way synthetic MMAP events are recorded with a zero identifier. A
simple solution is to stop "perf inject" deleting the tracing event.

Committer testing

Removed the now unused 'evsel' variable, update the comment about the
evsel removal not being performed anymore, and apply the patch manually
as it failed with this warning:

  warning: Patch sent with format=flowed; space at the end of lines might be lost.

Testing it with:

<title>perf test: Update branch sample pattern for cs-etm</title>

<id>urn:sha1:dd94ac807a5e10e0b25b68397c473276905cca73</id>
<content type='text'>
Since the commit 943b69ac1884 ("perf parse-events: Set exclude_guest=1
for user-space counting"), 'exclude_guest=1' is set for user-space
counting; and the branch sample's modifier has been altered, the sample
event name has been changed from "branches:u:" to "branches:uH:", which
gives out info for "user-space and host counting".

But the cs-etm testing's regular expression cannot match the updated
branch sample event and leads to test failure.

This patch updates the branch sample pattern by using a more flexible
expression '.*' to match branch sample's modifiers, so that allows the
testing to work as expected.
