perf report powerpc: Fix crash if callchain is empty

2018-08-24T11:06:50Z

[ Upstream commit 143c99f6ac6812d23254e80844d6e34be897d3e1 ] For some cases, the callchain provided by the kernel may be empty. So, the callchain ip filtering code will cause a crash if we do not check whether the struct ip_callchain pointer is NULL before accessing any members. This can be observed on a powerpc64le system running Fedora 27 as shown below. # perf record -b -e cycles:u ls Before: # perf report --branch-history perf: Segmentation fault -------- backtrace -------- perf[0x1027615c] linux-vdso64.so.1(__kernel_sigtramp_rt64+0x0)[0x7fff856304d8] perf(arch_skip_callchain_idx+0x44)[0x10257c58] perf[0x1017f2e4] perf(thread__resolve_callchain+0x124)[0x1017ff5c] perf(sample__resolve_callchain+0xf0)[0x10172788] ...

perf probe: Find versioned symbols from map

2017-12-27T15:15:54Z

Commit d80406453ad4 ("perf symbols: Allow user probes on versioned symbols") allows user to find default versioned symbols (with "@@") in map. However, it did not enable normal versioned symbol (with "@") for perf-probe. E.g. ===== # ./perf probe -x /lib64/libc-2.25.so malloc_get_state Failed to find symbol malloc_get_state in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so Error: Failed to add events. ===== This solves above issue by improving perf-probe symbol search function, as below. ===== # ./perf probe -x /lib64/libc-2.25.so malloc_get_state Added new event: probe_libc:malloc_get_state (on malloc_get_state in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so) You can now use it in all perf tools, such as: perf record -e probe_libc:malloc_get_state -aR sleep 1 # ./perf probe -l probe_libc:malloc_get_state (on malloc_get_state@GLIBC_2.2.5 in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so) ===== Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu Reviewed-by: Thomas Richter Acked-by: Ravi Bangoria Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: Paul Clarke Cc: bhargavb Cc: linux-rt-users@vger.kernel.org Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/151275049269.24652.1639103455496216255.stgit@devbox Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

2017-11-02T10:10:55Z

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches. Reviewed-by: Kate Stewart Reviewed-by: Philippe Ombredanne Reviewed-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

perf probe: Allow placing uprobes in alternate namespaces.

Teaches perf how to place a uprobe on a file that's in a different mount namespace. The user must add the probe using the --target-ns argument to perf probe.

perf unwind: Support for powerpc

2017-06-21T14:35:42Z

Porting PPC to libdw only needs an architecture-specific hook to move the register state from perf to libdw. The ARM and x86 architectures already use libdw, and it is useful to have as much common code for the unwinder as possible. Mark Wielaard has contributed a frame-based unwinder to libdw, so that unwinding works even for binaries that do not have CFI information. In addition, libunwind is always preferred to libdw by the build machinery so this cannot introduce regressions on machines that have both libunwind and libdw installed.

perf symbols: Allow user probes on versioned symbols
