pref tools: Add missing map.h includes

2019-02-06T13:00:38Z

Lots of places get the map.h file indirectly, and since we're going to remove it from machine.h, then those need to include it directly, do it now, before we remove that dep.

perf report: Fix wrong iteration count in --branch-history

2019-01-04T15:54:49Z

By calculating the removed loops, we can get the iteration count. But the iteration count could be reported incorrectly, reporting impossibly high counts. That's because previous code uses the number of removed LBR entries for the iteration count. That's not good. Fix this by increasing the iteration count when a loop is detected. When matching the chain, the iteration count would be added up, finally we need to compute the average value when printing out. For example, $ perf report --branch-history --stdio --no-children Before: ---f2 +0 | |--33.62%--f1 +9 (cycles:1) | f1 +0 | main +22 (cycles:1) | main +17 | main +38 (cycles:1) | main +27 | f1 +26 (cycles:1) | f1 +24 | f2 +27 (cycles:7) | f2 +0 | f1 +19 (cycles:1) | f1 +14 | f2 +27 (cycles:11) | f2 +0 | f1 +9 (cycles:1 iter:2968 avg_cycles:3) | f1 +0 | main +22 (cycles:1 iter:2968 avg_cycles:3) | main +17 | main +38 (cycles:1 iter:2968 avg_cycles:3) 2968 is an impossible high iteration count and avg_cycles is too small. After: ---f2 +0 | |--33.62%--f1 +9 (cycles:1) | f1 +0 | main +22 (cycles:1) | main +17 | main +38 (cycles:1) | main +27 | f1 +26 (cycles:1) | f1 +24 | f2 +27 (cycles:7) | f2 +0 | f1 +19 (cycles:1) | f1 +14 | f2 +27 (cycles:11) | f2 +0 | f1 +9 (cycles:1 iter:1 avg_cycles:23) | f1 +0 | main +22 (cycles:1 iter:1 avg_cycles:23) | main +17 | main +38 (cycles:1 iter:1 avg_cycles:23) avg_cycles:23 is the average cycles of this iteration.

perf unwind: Do not look just at the global callchain_param.record_mode

2018-01-17T13:23:32Z

When setting up DWARF callchains on specific events, without using 'record' or 'trace' --call-graph, but instead doing it like: perf trace -e cycles/call-graph=dwarf/ The unwind__prepare_access() call in thread__insert_map() when we process PERF_RECORD_MMAP(2) metadata events were not being performed, precluding us from using per-event DWARF callchains, handling them just when we asked for all events to be DWARF, using "--call-graph dwarf". We do it in the PERF_RECORD_MMAP because we have to look at one of the executable maps to figure out the executable type (64-bit, 32-bit) of the DSO laid out in that mmap. Also to look at the architecture where the perf.data file was recorded. All this probably should be deferred to when we process a sample for some thread that has callchains, so that we do this processing only for the threads with samples, not for all of them. For now, fix using DWARF on specific events.

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 callchain: Fix double mapping al->addr for children without self period

2017-10-31T19:14:50Z

Milian Wolff found a problem he described in [1] and that for him would get fixed: "Note how most of the large offset values are now gone. Most notably, we get proper srcline resolution for the random.h and complex headers." Then Namhyung found the root cause: "I looked into it and found a bug handling cumulative (children) entries. For children entries that have no self period, the al->addr (so he->ip) ends up having an doubly-mapped address. It seems to be there from the beginning but only affects entries that have no srclines - finding srcline itself is done using a different address but it will show the invalid address if no srcline was found. I think we should fix the commit c7405d85d7a3 ("perf tools: Update cpumode for each cumulative entry")."
