Pull perf/urgent fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo: - Fix buildid processing done at the end of a 'perf record' session, a problem that happened in workloads involving lots of small short-lived processes. That code was not asking the perf_session layer to order the events. Make the code more robust to handle some of the problems with such out-of-order events and fix 'perf record' to ask for ordered events on systems where we have perf_event_attr.sample_id_all. (Adrian Hunter) - Show backtrace when handling a SIGSEGV in 'perf top --stdio' (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

perf top: Show backtrace when handling a SIGSEGV on --stdio mode

2015-08-19T18:16:08Z

It was just freezing instead of informing about the SEGV, fix it and also print a backtrace, just like in the TUI mode and in 'perf trace'.

perf tools: Fix buildid processing

2015-08-19T17:15:26Z

After recording, 'perf record' post-processes the data to determine which buildids are needed. That processing must process the data in time order, if possible, because otherwise dependent events, like forks and mmaps, will not make sense.

perf tools: Make fork event processing more resilient

2015-08-19T17:15:25Z

When processing a fork event, the tools lookup the parent thread by its tid. In a couple of cases, it is possible for that thread to have the wrong pid. That can happen if the data is being processed out of order, or if the (fork) event that would have removed the erroneous thread was lost. Assume the latter case, print a dump message, remove the erroneous thread, create a new one with the correct pid, and keep going.

perf tools: Avoid deadlock when map_groups are broken

2015-08-19T17:15:09Z

Attempting to clone map groups onto themselves will deadlock. It only happens because of other bugs, but the code should protect itself anyway.

perf tools: Fix test build error when bindir contains double slash

2015-07-28T16:03:49Z

When building with a prefix ending with a slash, for example: $ make prefix=/usr/local/ one of the perf tests fail to compile due to BUILD_STR macro mishandling bindir_SQ string containing with two slashes: -DBINDIR="BUILD_STR(/usr/local//bin)" with the following error: CC tests/attr.o tests/attr.c: In function ‘test__attr’: tests/attr.c:168:50: error: expected ‘)’ before ‘;’ token snprintf(path_perf, PATH_MAX, "%s/perf", BINDIR); ^ tests/attr.c:176:1: error: expected ‘;’ before ‘}’ token } ^ tests/attr.c:176:1: error: control reaches end of non-void function [-Werror=return-type] } ^ cc1: all warnings being treated as errors This patch works around the problem by "cleaning" the bindir string using make's abspath function.

perf stat: Fix transaction lenght metrics

2015-07-28T15:05:04Z

The transaction length metrics in perf stat -T broke recently. It would not match the metric correctly and always print K/sec. This was caused by a incorrect update of the cycles_in_tx statistics. Update the correct variable. Also the check for zero division was reversed, which resulted in K/sec being printed for no transactions. Fix this also up.

selftests/futex: Fix futex_cmp_requeue_pi() error handling

2015-07-21T00:29:38Z

An earlier (pre-kernel-integration) refactoring of this code mistakenly replaced the error condition, <, with a >. Use < to detect an error as opposed to a successful requeue or signal race. Reported-by: David Binderman Cc: Shuah Khan Signed-off-by: Darren Hart Signed-off-by: Shuah Khan
