perf intel-pt: Fix "Unexpected indirect branch" error

2018-07-03T09:27:06Z

commit 9fb523363f6e3984457fee95bb7019395384ffa7 upstream. Some Atom CPUs can produce FUP packets that contain NLIP (next linear instruction pointer) instead of CLIP (current linear instruction pointer). That will result in "Unexpected indirect branch" errors. Fix by comparing IP to NLIP in that case.

perf intel-pt: Fix sync_switch INTEL_PT_SS_NOT_TRACING

2018-07-03T09:27:06Z

commit dbcb82b93f3e8322891e47472c89e63058b81e99 upstream. sync_switch is a facility to synchronize decoding more closely with the point in the kernel when the context actually switched. In one case, INTEL_PT_SS_NOT_TRACING state was not correctly transitioning to INTEL_PT_SS_TRACING state due to a missing case clause. Add it.

perf intel-pt: Remove a check for sampling mode

2018-03-08T13:05:58Z

Intel PT code already has some preparation for AUX area sampling mode. However the implementation has changed from the first proposal and one of the side-effects is that it will not be impossible to support snapshot mode and sampling mode at the same time. Although there are no plans to support it, let validation (not yet implemented) control whether it is allowed rather than low-level functions.

perf intel-pt: Tidy old_buffer handling in intel_pt_get_trace()

2018-03-08T13:05:57Z

intel_pt_get_trace() fixes overlaps between the current buffer and the previous buffer ('old_buffer'). However the previous buffer might not have had usable data (no PSB) so the comparison must be made against the previous buffer that had usable data. Tidy that by keeping a pointer for that purpose in struct intel_pt_queue.

With the new way sampling support will be implemented, intel_pt_use_buffer_pid_tid() will not be needed. Get rid of it. Signed-off-by: Adrian Hunter Cc: Jiri Olsa Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1520431349-30689-7-git-send-email-adrian.hunter@intel.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf intel-pt: Fix sync_switch

2018-03-08T13:05:55Z

sync_switch is a facility to synchronize decoding more closely with the point in the kernel when the context actually switched. The flag when sync_switch is enabled was global to the decoding, whereas it is really specific to the CPU. The trace data for different CPUs is put on different queues, so add sync_switch to the intel_pt_queue structure and use that in preference to the global setting in the intel_pt structure. That fixes problems decoding one CPU's trace because sync_switch was disabled on a different CPU's queue.

perf intel-pt: Fix overlap detection to identify consecutive buffers correctly

2018-03-08T13:05:54Z

Overlap detection was not not updating the buffer's 'consecutive' flag. Marking buffers consecutive has the advantage that decoding begins from the start of the buffer instead of the first PSB. Fix overlap detection to identify consecutive buffers correctly.

perf tools: Get rid of unused 'swapped' parameter from perf_event__synthesize_sample()

2018-01-18T12:01:23Z

There is never a need to synthesize a 'swapped' sample, so all callers to perf_event__synthesize_sample() pass 'false' as the value to 'swapped'. So get rid of the unused 'swapped' parameter.

perf intel-pt/bts: Do not swap when synthesizing samples

2018-01-18T12:00:16Z

Both 'perf inject' and internal tools consume cpu endian samples, so there is never a need to do any swapping when synthesizing samples.
