      perf script: Flush output stream after events in verbose mode · 7ee40678
      Milian Wolff authored 
      

When the perf script output is written to a terminal stream, the normal
output of `perf script` would get buffered, but its debug output would
be written directly. This made it quite hard to figure out where a given
debug output is coming from.

We can improve on this by flushing the output buffer after processing an
event. To see the value, compare the following output for a `perf script
-v` run:

Before this patch:
```
unwind: reg 16, val 7faf7dfdc000
unwind: reg 7, val 7ffc80811e30
unwind: find_proc_info dso /usr/lib/ld-2.28.so
unwind: reg 6, val 0
unwind: _start:ip = 0x7faf7dfdc000 (0x2000)
unwind: reg 16, val 7faf7dfdc000
unwind: reg 7, val 7ffc80811e30
unwind: find_proc_info dso /usr/lib/ld-2.28.so
unwind: reg 6, val 0
unwind: _start:ip = 0x7faf7dfdc000 (0x2000)
unwind: reg 16, val 7faf7dfdc000
unwind: reg 7, val 7ffc80811e30
unwind: find_proc_info dso /usr/lib/ld-2.28.so
unwind: reg 6, val 0
unwind: _start:ip = 0x7faf7dfdc000 (0x2000)
unwind: reg 16, val 7faf7dfdc000
unwind: reg 7, val 7ffc80811e30
... lots and lots of verbose debug output
cpp-inlining 24617 90229.122036534:          1 cycles:uppp:
            7faf7dfdc000 _start+0x0 (/usr/lib/ld-2.28.so)

cpp-inlining 24617 90229.122043974:          1 cycles:uppp:
            7faf7dfdc000 _start+0x0 (/usr/lib/ld-2.28.so)
...
```

After this patch:
```
...
unwind: reg 16, val 7faf7dfdc000
unwind: reg 7, val 7ffc80811e30
unwind: find_proc_info dso /usr/lib/ld-2.28.so
unwind: reg 6, val 0
unwind: _start:ip = 0x7faf7dfdc000 (0x2000)
cpp-inlining 24617 90229.122036534:          1 cycles:uppp:
            7faf7dfdc000 _start+0x0 (/usr/lib/ld-2.28.so)

unwind: reg 16, val 7faf7dfdc000
unwind: reg 7, val 7ffc80811e30
unwind: find_proc_info dso /usr/lib/ld-2.28.so
unwind: reg 6, val 0
unwind: _start:ip = 0x7faf7dfdc000 (0x2000)
cpp-inlining 24617 90229.122043974:          1 cycles:uppp:
            7faf7dfdc000 _start+0x0 (/usr/lib/ld-2.28.so)
...
```

This new output format makes it much easier to use perf script output
for debugging purposes, e.g. to investigate broken dwarf unwinding.

      perf evsel: Introduce per event max_events property · 2fda5ada
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored 
      This simply adds the field to 'struct perf_evsel' and allows setting
it via the event parser, to test it lets trace trace:

First look at where in a function that receives an evsel we can put a probe
to read how evsel->max_events was setup:

  # perf probe -x ~/bin/perf -L trace__event_handler
  <trace__event_handler@/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/builtin-trace.c:0>
        0  static int trace__event_handler(struct trace *trace, struct perf_evsel *evsel,
                                          union perf_event *event __maybe_unused,
                                          struct perf_sample *sample)
        3  {
        4         struct thread *thread = machine__findnew_thread(trace->host, sample->pid, sample->tid);
        5         int callchain_ret = 0;

        7         if (sample->callchain) {
        8                 callchain_ret = trace__resolve_callchain(trace, evsel, sample, &callchain_cursor);
        9                 if (callchain_ret == 0) {
       10                         if (callchain_cursor.nr < trace->min_stack)
       11                                 goto out;
       12                         callchain_ret = 1;
                          }
                  }

See what variables we can probe at line 7:

  # perf probe -x ~/bin/perf -V trace__event_handler:7
  Available variables at trace__event_handler:7
          @<trace__event_handler+89>
                  int     callchain_ret
                  struct perf_evsel*      evsel
                  struct perf_sample*     sample
                  struct thread*  thread
                  struct trace*   trace
                  union perf_event*       event

Add a probe at that line asking for evsel->max_events to be collected and named
as "max_events":

  # perf probe -x ~/bin/perf trace__event_handler:7 'max_events=evsel->max_events'
  Added new event:
    probe_perf:trace__event_handler (on trace__event_handler:7 in /home/acme/bin/perf with max_events=evsel->max_events)

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

  	perf record -e probe_perf:trace__event_handler -aR sleep 1

Now use 'perf trace', here aliased to just 'trace' and trace trace, i.e.
the first 'trace' is tracing just that 'probe_perf:trace__event_handler' event,
while the traced trace is tracing all scheduler tracepoints, will stop at two
events (--max-events 2) and will just set evsel->max_events for all the sched
tracepoints to 9, we will see the output of both traces intermixed:

  # trace -e *perf:*event_handler trace --max-events 2 -e sched:*/nr=9/
       0.000 :0/0 sched:sched_waking:comm=rcu_sched pid=10 prio=120 target_cpu=000
       0.009 :0/0 sched:sched_wakeup:comm=rcu_sched pid=10 prio=120 target_cpu=000
       0.000 trace/23949 probe_perf:trace__event_handler:(48c34a) max_events=0x9
       0.046 trace/23949 probe_perf:trace__event_handler:(48c34a) max_events=0x9
  #

Now, if the traced trace sends its output to /dev/null, we'll see just
what the first level trace outputs: that evsel->max_events is indeed
being set to 9:

  # trace -e *perf:*event_handler trace -o /dev/null --max-events 2 -e sched:*/nr=9/
       0.000 trace/23961 probe_perf:trace__event_handler:(48c34a) max_events=0x9
       0.030 trace/23961 probe_perf:trace__event_handler:(48c34a) max_events=0x9
  #

Now that we can set evsel->max_events, we can go to the next step, honour that
per-event property in 'perf trace'.

      Allow stopping tracing after a number of events take place, considering
strace-like syscalls formatting as one event per enter/exit pair or when
in a multi-process tracing session a syscall is interrupted and printed
ending with '...'.

Examples included in the documentation:

Trace the first 4 open, openat or open_by_handle_at syscalls (in the future more syscalls may match here):

  $ perf trace -e open* --max-events 4

- Stop falling back to kallsyms for vDSO symbols lookup, this wasn't

  CPUs like Sparc (David Miller)

- Fix use of alternatives to find JDIR (Jarod Wilson)

- Store IDs for events with their own CPUs when synthesizing user
  level event details (scale, unit, etc) events, fixing a crash
  when recording a PMU event with a cpumask defined (Jiri Olsa)

- Fix wrong filter_band* values for uncore Intel vendor events (Jiri Olsa)

- Fix detection of tracefs path in systems without tracefs, where
  that path should be the debugfs mountpoint plus "/tracing/" (Jiri Olsa)

      perf tools: Stop fallbacking to kallsyms for vdso symbols lookup · edeb0c90
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored 
      

David reports that:

<quote>
Perf has this hack where it uses the kernel symbol map as a backup when
a symbol can't be found in the user's symbol table(s).

This causes problems because the tests driving this code path use
machine__kernel_ip(), and that is completely meaningless on Sparc.  On
sparc64 the kernel and user live in physically separate virtual address
spaces, rather than a shared one.  And the kernel lives at a virtual
address that overlaps common userspace addresses.  So this test passes
almost all the time when a user symbol lookup fails.

The consequence of this is that, if the unfound user virtual address in
the sample doesn't match up to a kernel symbol either, we trigger things
like this code in builtin-top.c:

	if (al.sym == NULL && al.map != NULL) {
		const char *msg = "Kernel samples will not be resolved.\n";
		/*
		 * As we do lazy loading of symtabs we only will know if the
		 * specified vmlinux file is invalid when we actually have a
		 * hit in kernel space and then try to load it. So if we get
		 * here and there are _no_ symbols in the DSO backing the
		 * kernel map, bail out.
		 *
		 * We may never get here, for instance, if we use -K/
		 * --hide-kernel-symbols, even if the user specifies an
		 * invalid --vmlinux ;-)
		 */
		if (!machine->kptr_restrict_warned && !top->vmlinux_warned &&
		    __map__is_kernel(al.map) && map__has_symbols(al.map)) {
			if (symbol_conf.vmlinux_name) {
				char serr[256];
				dso__strerror_load(al.map->dso, serr, sizeof(serr));
				ui__warning("The %s file can't be used: %s\n%s",
					    symbol_conf.vmlinux_name, serr, msg);
			} else {
				ui__warning("A vmlinux file was not found.\n%s",
					    msg);
			}

			if (use_browser <= 0)
				sleep(5);
			top->vmlinux_warned = true;
		}
	}

When I fire up a compilation on sparc, this triggers immediately.

I'm trying to figure out what the "backup to kernel map" code is
accomplishing.

I see some language in the current code and in the changes that have
happened in this area talking about vdso.  Does that really happen?

The vdso is mapped into userspace virtual addresses, not kernel ones.

More history.  This didn't cause problems on sparc some time ago,
because the kernel IP check used to be "ip < 0" :-) Sparc kernel
addresses are not negative.  But now with machine__kernel_ip(), which
works using the symbol table determined kernel address range, it does
trigger.

What it all boils down to is that on architectures like sparc,
machine__kernel_ip() should always return false in this scenerio, and
therefore this kind of logic:

		if (cpumode == PERF_RECORD_MISC_USER && machine &&
		    mg != &machine->kmaps &&
		    machine__kernel_ip(machine, al->addr)) {

is basically invalid.  PERF_RECORD_MISC_USER implies no kernel address
can possibly match for the sample/event in question (no matter how
hard you try!) :-)
</>

So, I thought something had changed and in the past we would somehow
find that address in the kallsyms, but I couldn't find anything to back
that up, the patch introducing this is over a decade old, lots of things
changed, so I was just thinking I was missing something.

I tried a gtod busy loop to generate vdso activity and added a 'perf
probe' at that branch, on x86_64 to see if it ever gets hit:

Made thread__find_map() noinline, as 'perf probe' in lines of inline
functions seems to not be working, only at function start. (Masami?)

  # perf probe -x ~/bin/perf -L thread__find_map:57
  <thread__find_map@/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/util/event.c:57>
     57                 if (cpumode == PERF_RECORD_MISC_USER && machine &&
     58                     mg != &machine->kmaps &&
     59                     machine__kernel_ip(machine, al->addr)) {
     60                         mg = &machine->kmaps;
     61                         load_map = true;
     62                         goto try_again;
                        }
                } else {
                        /*
                         * Kernel maps might be changed when loading
                         * symbols so loading
                         * must be done prior to using kernel maps.
                         */
     69                 if (load_map)
     70                         map__load(al->map);
     71                 al->addr = al->map->map_ip(al->map, al->addr);

  # perf probe -x ~/bin/perf thread__find_map:60
  Added new event:
    probe_perf:thread__find_map (on thread__find_map:60 in /home/acme/bin/perf)

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

	perf record -e probe_perf:thread__find_map -aR sleep 1

  #

  Then used this to see if, system wide, those probe points were being hit:

  # perf trace -e *perf:thread*/max-stack=8/
  ^C[root@jouet ~]#

  No hits when running 'perf top' and:

  # cat gtod.c
  #include <sys/time.h>

  int main(void)
  {
	struct timeval tv;

	while (1)
		gettimeofday(&tv, 0);

	return 0;
  }

  I added a 'perf probe' to thread__find_map:69, and that surely got tons
  of hits, i.e. for every map found, just to make sure the 'perf probe'
  command was really working.

  In the process I noticed a bug, we're only have records for '[vdso]' for
  pre-existing commands, i.e. ones that are running when we start 'perf top',
  when we will generate the PERF_RECORD_MMAP by looking at /perf/PID/maps.

  I.e. like this, for preexisting processes with a vdso map, again,
  tracing for all the system, only pre-existing processes get a [vdso] map
  (when having one):

  [root@jouet ~]# perf probe -x ~/bin/perf __machine__addnew_vdso
  Added new event:
  probe_perf:__machine__addnew_vdso (on __machine__addnew_vdso in /home/acme/bin/perf)

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

	perf record -e probe_perf:__machine__addnew_vdso -aR sleep 1

  [root@jouet ~]# perf trace -e probe_perf:__machine__addnew_vdso/max-stack=8/
     0.000 probe_perf:__machine__addnew_vdso:(568eb3)
                                       __machine__addnew_vdso (/home/acme/bin/perf)
                                       map__new (/home/acme/bin/perf)
                                       machine__process_mmap2_event (/home/acme/bin/perf)
                                       machine__process_event (/home/acme/bin/perf)
                                       perf_event__process (/home/acme/bin/perf)
                                       perf_tool__process_synth_event (/home/acme/bin/perf)
                                       perf_event__synthesize_mmap_events (/home/acme/bin/perf)
                                       __event__synthesize_thread (/home/acme/bin/perf)

The kernel is generating a PERF_RECORD_MMAP for vDSOs, but somehow
'perf top' is not getting those records while 'perf record' is:

  # perf record ~acme/c/gtod
  ^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]

  #

The patch is the obvious one and with it we also continue to resolve
vdso symbols for pre-existing processes in 'perf top' and for all
processes in 'perf record' + 'perf report/script'.

So the extra user build flags are propagated to libtraceevent.

      perf report: Don't crash on invalid inline debug information · d4046e8e
      Milian Wolff authored 
      When the function name for an inline frame is invalid, we must not try
to demangle this symbol, otherwise we crash with:

  #0  0x0000555555895c01 in bfd_demangle ()

      at util/srcline.c:358

So instead handle the case where we get invalid function names for
inlined frames and use a fallback '??' function name instead.

While this crash was originally reported by Hadrien for rust code, I can
now also reproduce it with trivial C++ code. Indeed, it seems like
libbfd fails to interpret the debug information for the inline frame
symbol name:

  $ addr2line -e /home/milian/.debug/.build-id/f7/186d14bb94f3c6161c010926da66033d24fce5/elf -if b48

  /usr/include/c++/8.2.1/complex:685
  main
  /home/milian/projects/kdab/rnd/hotspot/tests/test-clients/cpp-inlining/main.cpp:39

I've reported this bug upstream and also attached a patch there which
should fix this issue:
