perf report: Fix switching to another perf.data file

2018-04-13T13:00:04Z

In the TUI the 's' hotkey can be used to switch to another perf.data file in the current directory, but that got broken in Fixes: b01141f4f59c ("perf annotate: Initialize the priv are in symbol__new()"), that would show this once another file was chosen: ┌─Fatal Error─────────────────────────────────────┐ │Annotation needs to be init before symbol__init()│ │ │ │ │ │Press any key... │ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ Fix it by just silently bailing out if symbol__annotation_init() was already called, just like is done with symbol__init(), i.e. they are done just once at session start, not when switching to a new perf.data file.

perf tools: Add refcnt into struct mem_info

2018-03-08T14:30:44Z

It's passed along several hists entries in --hierarchy mode, so it's better we keep track of it. The current fail I see is that it gets removed in hierarchy --mem-mode mode, where it's shared in the different hierarchies, but removed from the template hist entry, so the report crashes.

perf machine: Move kernel mmap name into struct machine

2018-02-16T17:25:57Z

It simplifies and centralizes the code. The kernel mmap name is set for machine type, which we know from the beginning, so there's no reason to generate it every time we need it.

perf symbols: Check if we read regular file in dso__load()

2018-02-16T17:25:56Z

The current code in dso__load() calls is_regular_file(), but it checks its return value only after calling symsrc__init(). That can make symsrc__init() block in elf_* functions on reading the file if the file happens to be device and not regular one. Call symsrc__init() only for regular files. Also remove the symsrc__destroy() cleanup, which is not needed now, because we call symsrc__init() only for regular files.

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 util: Enable handling of inlined frames by default

perf tools: Provide mutex wrappers for pthreads rwlocks

2017-09-21T16:28:06Z

Andi reported a performance drop in single threaded perf tools such as 'perf script' due to the growing number of locks being put in place to allow for multithreaded tools, so wrap the POSIX threads rwlock routines with the names used for such kinds of locks in the Linux kernel and then allow for tools to ask for those locks to be used or not. I.e. a tool may have a multithreaded phase and then switch to single threaded, like the upcoming patches for the synthesizing of PERF_RECORD_{FORK,MMAP,etc} for pre-existing processes to then switch to single threaded mode in 'perf top'. The init routines will not be conditional, this way starting as single threaded to then move to multi threaded mode should be possible.

perf record: Fix wrong size in perf_record_mmap for last kernel module

2017-08-11T19:06:32Z

During work on perf report for s390 I ran into the following issue: 0 0x318 [0x78]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP -1/0: [0x3ff804d6990(0xfffffc007fb2966f) @ 0]: x /lib/modules/4.12.0perf1+/kernel/drivers/s390/net/qeth_l2.ko This is a PERF_RECORD_MMAP entry of the perf.data file with an invalid module size for qeth_l2.ko (the s390 ethernet device driver). Even a mainframe does not have 0xfffffc007fb2966f bytes of main memory. It turned out that this wrong size is created by the perf record command. What happens is this function call sequence from __cmd_record(): perf_session__new(): perf_session__create_kernel_maps(): machine__create_kernel_maps(): machine__create_modules(): Creates map for all loaded kernel modules. modules__parse(): Reads /proc/modules and extracts module name and load address (1st and last column) machine__create_module(): Called for every module found in /proc/modules. Creates a new map for every module found and enters module name and start address into the map. Since the module end address is unknown it is set to zero. This ends up with a kernel module map list sorted by module start addresses. All module end addresses are zero. Last machine__create_kernel_maps() calls function map_groups__fixup_end(). This function iterates through the maps and assigns each map entry's end address the successor map entry start address. The last entry of the map group has no successor, so ~0 is used as end to consume the remaining memory. Later __cmd_record calls function record__synthesize() which in turn calls perf_event__synthesize_kernel_mmap() and perf_event__synthesize_modules() to create PERF_REPORT_MMAP entries into the perf.data file. On s390 this results in the last module qeth_l2.ko (which has highest start address, see module table: [root@s8360047 perf]# cat /proc/modules qeth_l2 86016 1 - Live 0x000003ff804d6000 qeth 266240 1 qeth_l2, Live 0x000003ff80296000 ccwgroup 24576 1 qeth, Live 0x000003ff80218000 vmur 36864 0 - Live 0x000003ff80182000 qdio 143360 2 qeth_l2,qeth, Live 0x000003ff80002000 [root@s8360047 perf]# ) to be the last entry and its map has an end address of ~0. When the PERF_RECORD_MMAP entry is created for kernel module qeth_l2.ko its start address and length is written. The length is calculated in line: event->mmap.len = pos->end - pos->start; and results in 0xffffffffffffffff - 0x3ff804d6990(*) = 0xfffffc007fb2966f (*) On s390 the module start address is actually determined by a __weak function named arch__fix_module_text_start() in machine__create_module(). I think this improvable. We can use the module size (2nd column of /proc/modules) to get each loaded kernel module size and calculate its end address. Only for map entries which do not have a valid end address (end is still zero) we can use the heuristic we have now, that is use successor start address or ~0.
