perf tools: Add time out to force stop proc map processing

PERF_RECORD_MISC_PROC_MAP_PARSE_TIME_OUT is introduced to indicate that

The problem seems to be a race condition, when the application has just
exited.  Some/all fds associated with the perf-events (tracepoints) go
into a POLLHUP/ POLLERR state and the mmap region associated with those
events are unmapped (in perf_evlist__filter_pollfd()).

But we go back and do a perf_evlist__mmap_read() which assumes that the
mmaps are still valid and we hit the crash.

If the mapping for an event is released, its refcnt is 0 (and ->base
is NULL), so ensure we have non-zero refcount before accessing the map.

Note that perf-record has a similar logic but unlike perf-trace, the
record__mmap_read_all() checks the evlist->mmap[i].base before accessing
the map.

those are skipped and perf probe doesn't show usage examples.  This
fixes it to show the example even if the last part of event list is
skipped.

E.g. without this patch, events are added, but suddenly end:

  # perf probe vfs_*
  vfs_caches_init_early is out of .text, skip it.
  vfs_caches_init is out of .text, skip it.
  Added new events:
    probe:vfs_fallocate  (on vfs_*)
    probe:vfs_open       (on vfs_*)
  ...
    probe:vfs_dentry_acceptable (on vfs_*)
    probe:vfs_load_quota_inode (on vfs_*)
  #

With this fix:

  # perf probe vfs_*
  vfs_caches_init_early is out of .text, skip it.
  vfs_caches_init is out of .text, skip it.
  Added new events:
    probe:vfs_fallocate  (on vfs_*)
  ...
    probe:vfs_load_quota_inode (on vfs_*)

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

perf record -e probe:vfs_load_quota_inode -aR sleep 1

Note that this can be reproduced ONLY IF the vfs_caches_init* is the
last part of matched symbol list. I've checked this happens on
"3.19.0-generic #18-Ubuntu" kernel binary.

Export dynamic symbols used by traceevent plugins") adds libtraceevent
dynamic list directly into LDFLAGS, which makes all targets depend on
that list through LDFLAGS.

This is not good since some of targets like libgtk.so doesn't use plugin
at all, but require the existance of that list because of linker
options.

This patch isolates the -Xlink option into LIBTRACEEVENT_DYNAMIC_LIST_LDFLAGS,
makes only perf and perf.so use it.

perf tools: Fix a problem when opening old perf.data with different byte order

Following error occurs when trying to use 'perf report' on x86_64 to

 ======= Memory map: ========

The bug is in perf_event__attr_swap(). It swaps all fields in 'struct
perf_event_attr' without checking whether the swapped field exist or
not. In addition, in read_event_desc() allocs memory for attr according
to size read from perf.data.

Therefore, if the perf.data is collected by an old perf (without
aux_watermark, for example), when perf_event__attr_swap() swaping
attr->aux_watermark it destroy malloc's metadata.

This patch introduces boundary checking in perf_event__attr_swap(). It
adds macros bswap_field_64 and bswap_field_32 into
perf_event__attr_swap() to make it only swap exist fields.

To fix this problem, this moves the blacklist checking to right after

perf tools: Avoid possible race condition in copyfile()

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 0635b0f that to exposes
previously fixed race with EEXIST and recreator test passed sucessfully.

there is not a definitive "don't use this DSO anymore" event, i.e. 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

perf/x86/intel: Implement batched PEBS interrupt handling (large PEBS interrupt threshold)

PEBS always had the capability to log samples to its buffers without
an interrupt. Traditionally perf has not used this but always set the
PEBS threshold to one.

For frequently occurring events (like cycles or branches or load/store)
this in term requires using a relatively high sampling period to avoid
overloading the system, by only processing PMIs. This in term increases
sampling error.

For the common cases we still need to use the PMI because the PEBS
hardware has various limitations. The biggest one is that it can not
supply a callgraph. It also requires setting a fixed period, as the
hardware does not support adaptive period. Another issue is that it
cannot supply a time stamp and some other options. To supply a TID it
requires flushing on context switch. It can however supply the IP, the
load/store address, TSX information, registers, and some other things.

So we can make PEBS work for some specific cases, basically as long as
you can do without a callgraph and can set the period you can use this
new PEBS mode.

The main benefit is the ability to support much lower sampling period
(down to -c 1000) without extensive overhead.

One use cases is for example to increase the resolution of the c2c tool.
Another is double checking when you suspect the standard sampling has
too much sampling error.

Some numbers on the overhead, using cycle soak, comparing the elapsed
time from "kernbench -M -H" between plain (threshold set to one) and
multi (large threshold).

The test command for plain:
  "perf record --time -e cycles:p -c $period -- kernbench -M -H"

The test command for multi:
  "perf record --no-time -e cycles:p -c $period -- kernbench -M -H"

( The only difference of test command between multi and plain is time
  stamp options. Since time stamp is not supported by large PEBS
  threshold, it can be used as a flag to indicate if large threshold is
  enabled during the test. )

period    plain(Sec)  multi(Sec)  Delta
10003     32.7        16.5        16.2
20003     30.2        16.2        14.0
40003     18.6        14.1        4.5

1000003   15.3        15.2        0.2
2000003   15.3        15.1        0.1

With periods below 100003, plain (threshold one) cause much more
overhead. With 10003 sampling period, the Elapsed Time for multi is
even 2X faster than plain.

9 years agoperf/x86/intel: Handle multiple records in the PEBS buffer
Yan, Zheng [Wed, 6 May 2015 19:33:49 +0000 (15:33 -0400)]
perf/x86/intel: Handle multiple records in the PEBS buffer

When the PEBS interrupt threshold is larger than one record and the
machine supports multiple PEBS events, the records of these events are
mixed up and we need to demultiplex them.

Demuxing the records is hard because the hardware is deficient. The
hardware has two issues that, when combined, create impossible
scenarios to demux.

The first issue is that the 'status' field of the PEBS record is a copy
of the GLOBAL_STATUS MSR at PEBS assist time. To see why this is a
problem let us first describe the regular PEBS cycle:

A) the CTRn value reaches 0:
  - the corresponding bit in GLOBAL_STATUS gets set
  - we start arming the hardware assist
  < some unspecified amount of time later -- this could cover multiple
    events of interest >

B) the hardware assist is armed, any next event will trigger it

C) a matching event happens:
  - the hardware assist triggers and generates a PEBS record
    this includes a copy of GLOBAL_STATUS at this moment
  - if we auto-reload we (re)set CTRn
  - we clear the relevant bit in GLOBAL_STATUS

Now consider the following chain of events:

  A0, B0, A1, C0

The event generated for counter 0 will include a status with counter 1
set, even though its not at all related to the record. A similar thing
can happen with a !PEBS event if it just happens to overflow at the
right moment.

The second issue is that the hardware will only emit one record for two
or more counters if the event that triggers the assist is 'close'. The
'close' can be several cycles. In some cases even the complete assist,
if the event is something that doesn't need retirement.

For instance, consider this chain of events:

  A0, B0, A1, B1, C01

Where C01 is an event that triggers both hardware assists, we will
generate but a single record, but again with both counters listed in the
status field.

This time the record pertains to both events.

Note that these two cases are different but undistinguishable with the
data as generated. Therefore demuxing records with multiple PEBS bits
(we can safely ignore status bits for !PEBS counters) is impossible.

Furthermore we cannot emit the record to both events because that might
cause a data leak -- the events might not have the same privileges -- so
what this patch does is discard such events.

The assumption/hope is that such discards will be rare.

Here lists some possible ways you may get high discard rate.

  - when you count the same thing multiple times. But it is not a useful
    configuration.
  - you can be unfortunate if you measure with a userspace only PEBS
    event along with either a kernel or unrestricted PEBS event. Imagine
    the event triggering and setting the overflow flag right before
    entering the kernel. Then all kernel side events will end up with
    multiple bits set.

perf probe: Fix segfault when glob matching function without debuginfo

Commit 4c859351226c920b227fec040a3b447f0d482af3 ("perf probe: Support
glob wildcards for function name") introduces segfault problems when
debuginfo is not available:

 # perf probe 'sys_w*'
  Added new events:
  Segmentation fault

The first problem resides in find_probe_trace_events_from_map(). In
that function, find_probe_functions() is called to match each symbol
against glob to find the number of matching functions, but still use
map__for_each_symbol_by_name() to find 'struct symbol' for matching
functions. Unfortunately, map__for_each_symbol_by_name() does
exact matching by searching in an rbtree.

It doesn't know glob matching, and not easy for it to support it because
it use rbtree based binary search, but we are unable to ensure all names
matched by the glob (any glob passed by user) reside in one subtree.

This patch drops map__for_each_symbol_by_name(). Since there is no
rbtree again, re-matching all symbols costs a lot. This patch avoid it
by saving all matching results into an array (syms).

The second problem is the lost of tp->realname. In
__add_probe_trace_events(), if pev->point.function is glob, the event
name should be set to tev->point.realname. This patch ensures its
existence by strdup sym->name instead of leaving a NULL pointer there.

After this patch:

 # perf probe 'sys_w*'
 Added new events:
   probe:sys_waitid     (on sys_w*)
   probe:sys_wait4      (on sys_w*)
   probe:sys_waitpid    (on sys_w*)
   probe:sys_write      (on sys_w*)
   probe:sys_writev     (on sys_w*)

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

         perf record -e probe:sys_writev -aR sleep 1

It was inconvenient that perf cannot be quit with SIGINT during
processing samples on TUI especially for large data files.

This was because the first argument of SLang_init_tty(), abort_char,
being 0.  The manual says it's the ascii value of the control character
that will be used to generate the interrupt signal [1].  Passing -1
means to use the default value (Ctrl-C).

However, after processing samples, Ctrl-C was used to in other cases as
well - like stepping back from annotate.  So recover the original
behavior after processing.

perf machine: Fix up vdso methods names

For instance:

 struct dso *vdso__new(struct machine *machine, const char *short_name,
        const char *long_name)

Becomes:

 struct dso *machine__addnew_vdso(struct machine *machine, const
  char *short_name, const char *long_name)

Because:

1) There is no 'struct vdso' for us to have vdso__ prefixed routines.

2) Because it will not really just create a new instance of 'struct
   dso', it'll call dso__new() but it will also insert it into the
   DSO's list/rbtree, and we have a method name for that: 'addnew',
   just like we have dsos__addnew().

3) So it is really a 'struct machine' operation, it is the first
   argument, etc.

This way the place where this is used gets consistent:

                if (vdso) {
                        pgoff = 0;

9 years agoperf tools: Disallow PMU events intel_pt and intel_bts until there is support

perf tools: Disallow PMU events intel_pt and intel_bts until there is support

Disallow PMU events intel_pt and intel_bts until the tools support them.

By default any PMU is selectable as an event but until the tools have
intel_pt and intel_bts support using them would result in no data being
recorded without any indication as to why.

Before the change:

    $ perf record -e intel_bts// sleep 1
    [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
    [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.008 MB perf.data ]
    $ perf report --stdio
    Error:
    The perf.data file has no samples!

After the change:

    $ perf record -e intel_bts// sleep 1
    invalid or unsupported event: 'intel_bts//'
    Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events
