perf tools: Add time out to force stop proc map processing
System wide sampling like 'perf top' or 'perf record -a' read all
threads /proc/xxx/maps before sampling. If there are any threads which
generating a keeping growing huge maps, perf will do infinite loop
during synthesizing. Nothing will be sampled.
This patch fixes this issue by adding per-thread timeout to force stop
this kind of endless proc map processing.
PERF_RECORD_MISC_PROC_MAP_PARSE_TIME_OUT is introduced to indicate that
the mmap record are truncated by time out. User will get warning
notification when truncated mmap records are detected.

sort__sym_cmp was causing the hist_entry in the annotate part of a

The thread-stack represents a thread's current stack. When a thread
exits there can still be many functions on the stack e.g. exit() can be
called many levels deep, so all the callers will never return. To get
that information output, the thread-stack must be flushed.
Previously it was assumed the thread-stack would be flushed when the
struct thread was deleted. With thread ref-counting it is no longer
clear when that will be, if ever. So instead explicitly flush all the
thread-stacks at the end of a session.

- Cut off the gcc optimization postfixes from

one, i.e. going from dynamic analysis to a static one,
returning to a dynamic one is possible, to toogle the
modes, just press CTRL+z. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Fix 'perf trace' race condition at the end of started

Infrastructure changes:
- Replace map->referenced & maps->removed_maps with
map->refcnt. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Introduce the xyarray__reset() function. (Jiri Olsa)
Now it is possible to press CTRL+z at anytime and that will disable the
events being monitored, essentially turning 'top' into 'report', with
pressing CTRL+z again making it enable the events again, returning to
the 'top' behaviour, i.e. dynamic + decaying of older samples.
One may want, for instance, play with:
-d, --delay <n> number of seconds to delay between refreshes
and:
-z, --zero zero history across updates
Plus CTRL+z to see only the events since last zeroing, etc.

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.

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.

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

- 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

prevent not yet fully copied files to be visible to to other perf

On top of that slow_copyfile no longer needs to deal with file mode when

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.

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().

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. )
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.

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/x86/intel: Use the PEBS auto reload mechanism when possible
When a fixed period is specified, this patch makes perf use the PEBS
auto reload mechanism. This makes normal profiling faster, because
it avoids one costly MSR write in the PMI handler.
However, the reset value will be loaded by hardware assist. There is a
small delay compared to the previous non-auto-reload mechanism. The
delay time is arbitrary, but very small. The assist cost is 400-800
cycles, assuming common cases with everything cached. The minimum period
the patch currently uses is 10000. In that extreme case it can be ~10%
if cycles are used.

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*'

perf tools: Make Ctrl-C stop processing on TUI
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 build: Do not fail on missing Build file
Allow nesting into directories without Build file. Currently we force
include of the Build file, which fails the build when the Build file is
missing.
We already support empty *-in.o' objects if there's nothing in the
directory to be compiled, so we can just use it for missing Build file
cases.
Also adding this case under tests.

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:

perf tests: Aename open*.c to openat*.c
Since the test being tested is now openat rather than open, rename the
files to make it explicit. The patch is separeted from the first to make
it simpler to deal with any potential conflicts in the Makefile
Multiple perf tests fail on arm64 due to missing open syscall:
2: detect open syscall event : FAILED!
open(2) is a legacy syscall, replaced with openat(2) since 2.6.16. Thus
new architectures in kernel, such as arm64, don't implement these legacy
syscalls.
The patch replaces all sys_enter_open events with sys_enter_openat,
renames the related tests and test output to avoid confusion.

We have pointers to struct map instances in several places, like in the
hist_entry instances, so we need a way to know when we can destroy them,
otherwise we may either keep leaking them or end up referencing deleted
instances.
Start fixing it by reference counting them.
This patch puts the reference count for struct map in place, replacing
direct map__delete() calls with map__put() ones and then grabbing a
reference count when adding it to the maps struct where maps for a
struct thread are kept.
Next we'll grab reference counts when setting pointers to struct map
instances, in places like in the hist_entry code.
