perf probe: Fix to return error if no probe is added · b031220d

Masami Hiramatsu authored Jun 16, 2015



Fix perf probe to return an error if no probe is added due to the given
probe point being on the blacklist.

To fix this problem, this moves the blacklist checking to right after
finding symbols/probe-points and marks them as skipped.

If all the symbols are skipped, "perf probe"  returns an error as it
fails to find the corresponding probe address.

E.g. currently if a blacklisted probe is given:

  # perf probe do_trap && echo 'succeed'
  Added new event:
  Warning: Skipped probing on blacklisted function: sync_regs
  succeed

No! It must fail! With this patch, it correctly fails:

  # perf probe do_trap && echo 'succeed'
  do_trap is blacklisted function, skip it.
  Probe point 'do_trap' not found.
    Error: Failed to add events.

perf probe: List probes in stdout · ba7ecb02

Masami Hiramatsu authored Jun 13, 2015

Since commit 5e17b28f

 ("perf probe: Add --quiet option to
suppress output result message") have replaced printf with pr_info,
perf probe -l outputs its result in stderr. However, that is not
what the commit expected.

E.g.:

  # perf probe -l > /dev/null
    probe:vfs_read       (on vfs_read@ksrc/linux-3/fs/read_write.c)

With this fix:

  # perf probe -l > list
  # cat list
    probe:vfs_read       (on vfs_read@ksrc/linux-3/fs/read_write.c)

Of course, --quiet(-q) still works on --add/--del.

  # perf probe -q vfs_write
  # perf probe -l
    probe:vfs_read       (on vfs_read@ksrc/linux-3/fs/read_write.c)
    probe:vfs_write      (on vfs_write@ksrc/linux-3/fs/read_write.c)

perf probe: Cut off the gcc optimization postfixes from function name · 35a23ff9

Masami Hiramatsu authored Jun 12, 2015



Cut off the postfixes which gcc added for optimized routines from the
event name automatically generated from symbol name, since *probe-events
doesn't accept it.  Those symbols will be used if we don't use debuginfo
to find target functions.

E.g. without this fix;
  -----
  # perf probe -va alloc_buf.isra.23
  probe-definition(0): alloc_buf.isra.23
  symbol:alloc_buf.isra.23 file:(null) line:0 offset:0 return:0 lazy:(null)
  [...]
  Opening /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events write=1
  Added new event:
  Writing event: p:probe/alloc_buf.isra.23 _text+4869328
  Failed to write event: Invalid argument
    Error: Failed to add events. Reason: Invalid argument (Code: -22)
  -----
With this fix;
  -----
  perf probe -va alloc_buf.isra.23
  probe-definition(0): alloc_buf.isra.23
  symbol:alloc_buf.isra.23 file:(null) line:0 offset:0 return:0 lazy:(null)
  [...]
  Opening /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events write=1
  Added new event:
  Writing event: p:probe/alloc_buf _text+4869328
    probe:alloc_buf      (on alloc_buf.isra.23)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

  	perf record -e probe:alloc_buf -aR sleep 1

perf tools: Avoid possible race condition in copyfile() · d7c72606

Milos Vyletel authored Jun 08, 2015

Use unique temporary files when copying to buildid dir to prevent races
in case multiple instances are trying to copy same file. This is done by

- creating template in form <path>/.<filename>.XXXXXX where the suffix is
  used by mkstemp() to create unique file
- change file mode
- copy content
- if successful link temp file to target file
- unlink temp file

At this point the only file left at target path should be the desired
one either created by us or other instance if we raced. This should also
prevent not yet fully copied files to be visible to to other perf
instances that could try to parse them.

On top of that slow_copyfile no longer needs to deal with file mode when
creating file since temporary file is already created and mode is set.

Succesfully tested by myself by running perf record, archive and reading
the data on other system and by running perf buildid-cache on perf
binary itself. I also did revert fix from 0635b0f7

 that to exposes
previously fixed race with EEXIST and recreator test passed sucessfully.

perf tools: Reference count struct dso · d3a7c489

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored Jun 02, 2015

This has a different model than the 'thread' and 'map' struct lifetimes:
there is not a definitive "don't use this DSO anymore" event, i.e. we may
get many 'struct map' holding references to the '/usr/lib64/libc-2.20.so'
DSO but then at some point some DSO may have no references but we still
don't want to straight away release its resources, because "soon" we may
get a new 'struct map' that needs it and we want to reuse its symtab or
other resources.

So we need some way to garbage collect it when crossing some memory
usage threshold, which is left for anoter patch, for now it is
sufficient to release it when calling dsos__exit(), i.e. when deleting
the whole list as part of deleting the 'struct machine' containing it,
which will leave only referenced objects being used.

perf tools: Protect accesses the dso rbtrees/lists with a rw lock · e8807844

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored Jun 01, 2015

To allow concurrent access, next step: refcount struct dso instances, so
that we can ditch unused them when the last map pointing to it goes
away.

perf machine: Fix up some more method names · 9f2de315

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored Jun 01, 2015

Calling the function 'machine__new_module' implies a new 'module' will
be allocated, when in fact what is returned is a 'struct map' instance,
that not necessarily will be instantiated, as if one already exists with
the given module name, it will be returned instead.

So be consistent with other "find and if not there, create" like
functions, like machine__findnew_thread, machine__findnew_dso, etc, and
rename it to machine__findnew_module_map(), that in turn will call
machine__findnew_module_dso().

perf record: Fix perf.data size in no-buildid mode · 457ae94a

He Kuang authored May 28, 2015



The size of perf.data is missing update in no-buildid mode, which gives
wrong output result.

Before this patch:

  $ perf.perf record -B -e syscalls:sys_enter_open uname
  Linux
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to  write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.000 MB perf.data ]

After this patch:

  $ perf.perf record -B -e syscalls:sys_enter_open uname
  Linux
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.001 MB perf.data ]

tools lib traceevent: Export dynamic symbols used by traceevent plugins · e3d09ec8

He Kuang authored May 28, 2015



Traceevent plugins need dynamic symbols exported from libtraceevent.a,
otherwise a dlopen error will occur during plugins loading.

This patch uses dynamic-list-file to export dynamic symbols which will
be used in plugins to perf executable.

The problem is covered up if feature-libpython is enabled, because
PYTHON_EMBED_LDOPTS contains '-Xlinker --export-dynamic' which adds all
symbols to the dynamic symbol table. So we should reproduce the problem
by setting NO_LIBPYTHON=1.
