perf buildid-cache: Support binary objects from other namespaces

2017-07-19T02:14:11Z

Teach buildid-cache how to add, remove, and update binary objects from other mount namespaces. Allow probe events tracing binaries in different namespaces to add their objects to the probe and build-id caches too. As a handy side effect, this also lets us access SDT probes in binaries from alternate mount namespaces.

perf probe: Allow placing uprobes in alternate namespaces.

2017-07-19T02:14:10Z

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. Once it has been placed, it may be recorded against without further namespace-specific commands.

perf tools: Remove unused 'prefix' from builtin functions

2017-03-27T14:58:09Z

We got it from the git sources but never used it for anything, with the place where this would be somehow used remaining: static int run_builtin(struct cmd_struct *p, int argc, const char **argv) { prefix = NULL; if (p->option & RUN_SETUP) prefix = NULL; /* setup_perf_directory(); */ Ditch it.

perf probe: Return errno when not hitting any event

2017-03-21T13:45:02Z

On old perf, when using 'perf probe -d' to delete an inexistent event, it returns errno, eg, -bash-4.3# perf probe -d xxx || echo $? Info: Event "*:xxx" does not exist. Error: Failed to delete events. 255 But now perf_del_probe_events() will always set ret = 0, different from previous del_perf_probe_events(). After this, it returns errno again, eg, -bash-4.3# ./perf probe -d xxx || echo $? "xxx" does not hit any event. Error: Failed to delete events. 254 And it is more appropriate to return -ENOENT instead of -EPERM.

perf probe: Add option --symfs

perf probe makes use of debug symbols, so add --symfs as the other commands have.

perf probe: Ignore vmlinux Build-id when offline vmlinux given

2016-09-01T15:42:22Z

Ignore vmlinux build-id when user gives offline vmlinux if the command does not affect running kernel. perf-probe has several actions some of them does not change the running kernel, like --lines, --vars, and --funcs. e.g. ----- $ ./perf probe -k ./vmlinux-arm -V do_sys_open:14 Available variables at do_sys_open:14 @ char* filename int dfd int fd int flags struct filename* tmp struct open_flags op umode_t mode ----- Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Peter Zijlstra Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/147222347320.5088.2582658035296667520.stgit@devbox Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf probe: Ignore vmlinux buildid if offline kernel is given

2016-09-01T12:44:14Z

Ignore the buildid of running kernel when both of --definition and --vmlinux is given because that kernel should be off-line. This also skips post-processing of kprobe event for relocating symbol and checking blacklist, because it can not be done on off-line kernel. E.g. without this fix perf shows an error as below ---- $ perf probe --vmlinux=./vmlinux-arm --definition do_sys_open ./vmlinux-arm with build id 7a1f76dd56e9c4da707cd3d6333f50748141434b not found, continuing without symbols Failed to find symbol do_sys_open in kernel Error: Failed to add events. ---- with this fix, we can get the definition ---- $ perf probe --vmlinux=./vmlinux-arm --definition do_sys_open p:probe/do_sys_open do_sys_open+0 ---- Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Peter Zijlstra Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/147214228193.23638.12581984840822162131.stgit@devbox Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf probe: Show trace event definition

2016-09-01T12:44:13Z

Add --definition/-D option for showing the trace-event definition in stdout. This can be useful in debugging or combined with a shell script. e.g. ---- # perf probe --definition 'do_sys_open $params' p:probe/do_sys_open _text+2261728 dfd=%di:s32 filename=%si:u64 flags=%dx:s32 mode=%cx:u16 ---- Suggested-and-Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Peter Zijlstra Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/147214226712.23638.2240534040014013658.stgit@devbox Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
