Masami Hiramatsu 1e032f7cfa perf-probe: Add user memory access attribute support
Add user memory access attribute for kprobe event arguments.
If a given 'local variable' is in user-space, User can
specify memory access method by '@user' suffix. This is
not only for string but also for data structure.

If we access a field of data structure in user memory from
kernel on some arch, it will fail. e.g.

 perf probe -a "sched_setscheduler param->sched_priority"

This will fail to access the "param->sched_priority" because
the param is __user pointer. Instead, we can now specify
@user suffix for such argument.

 perf probe -a "sched_setscheduler param->sched_priority@user"

Note that kernel memory access with "@user" must always fail
on any arch.

Masami Hiramatsu c588d15812 perf probe: Support escaped character in parser
Support the special characters escaped by '\' in parser.  This allows
user to specify versions directly like below.

  =====
  # ./perf probe -x /lib64/libc-2.25.so malloc_get_state\\@GLIBC_2.2.5
  Added new event:
    probe_libc:malloc_get_state (on malloc_get_state@GLIBC_2.2.5 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

  =====

Or, you can use separators in source filename, e.g.

  =====
  # ./perf probe -x /opt/test/a.out foo+bar.c:3
  Semantic error :There is non-digit character in offset.
    Error: Command Parse Error.
  =====

Usually "+" in source file cause parser error, but

  =====
  # ./perf probe -x /opt/test/a.out foo\\+bar.c:4
  Added new event:
    probe_a:main         (on @foo+bar.c:4 in /opt/test/a.out)

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

	  perf record -e probe_a:main -aR sleep 1
  =====

escaped "\+" allows you to specify that.

Masami Hiramatsu e63c625a1e perf probe: Add __return suffix for return events
Add __return suffix for function return events automatically. Without
this, user have to give --force option and will see the number suffix
for each event like "function_1", which is not easy to recognize.
Instead, this adds __return suffix to it automatically.  E.g.

  =====
  # ./perf probe -x /lib64/libc-2.25.so 'malloc*%return'
  Added new events:
    probe_libc:malloc_printerr__return (on malloc*%return in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so)
    probe_libc:malloc_consolidate__return (on malloc*%return in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so)
    probe_libc:malloc_check__return (on malloc*%return in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so)
    probe_libc:malloc_hook_ini__return (on malloc*%return in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so)
    probe_libc:malloc__return (on malloc*%return in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so)
    probe_libc:malloc_trim__return (on malloc*%return in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so)
    probe_libc:malloc_usable_size__return (on malloc*%return in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so)
    probe_libc:malloc_stats__return (on malloc*%return in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so)
    probe_libc:malloc_info__return (on malloc*%return in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so)
    probe_libc:mallochook__return (on malloc*%return in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so)
    probe_libc:malloc_get_state__return (on malloc*%return in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so)
    probe_libc:malloc_set_state__return (on malloc*%return in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so)

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

	  perf record -e probe_libc:malloc_set_state__return -aR sleep 1

Krister Johansen f045b8c4b3 perf buildid-cache: Support binary objects from other namespaces
Teach buildid-cache how to add, remove, and update binary objects from
other mount namespaces.  Allow probe events tracing binaries in
different namespaces to add their objects to the probe and build-id
caches too.  As a handy side effect, this also lets us access SDT probes
in binaries from alternate mount namespaces.

Masami Hiramatsu 428aff82e9 perf probe: Ignore vmlinux buildid if offline kernel is given
Ignore the buildid of running kernel when both of --definition and
--vmlinux is given because that kernel should be off-line.

This also skips post-processing of kprobe event for relocating symbol
and checking blacklist, because it can not be done on off-line kernel.

E.g. without this fix perf shows an error as below
  ----
  $ perf probe --vmlinux=./vmlinux-arm --definition do_sys_open
  ./vmlinux-arm with build id 7a1f76dd56e9c4da707cd3d6333f50748141434b not found, continuing without symbols
  Failed to find symbol do_sys_open in kernel
    Error: Failed to add events.
  ----
with this fix, we can get the definition

Change kprobe/uprobe-tracer to show the arguments type-casted
with u8/u16/u32/u64 in decimal digits instead of hexadecimal.

To minimize compatibility issue, the arguments without type
casting are typed by x64 (or x32 for 32bit arch) by default.

Note: all arguments set by old perf probe without types are
shown in decimal by default.

Naohiro Aota 19f00b0117 perf probe: Support signedness casting
The 'perf probe' tool detects a variable's type and use the detected
type to add a new probe. Then, kprobes prints its variable in
hexadecimal format if the variable is unsigned and prints in decimal if
it is signed.

We sometimes want to see unsigned variable in decimal format (i.e.
sector_t or size_t). In that case, we need to investigate the variable's
size manually to specify just signedness.

This patch add signedness casting support. By specifying "s" or "u" as a
type, perf-probe will investigate variable size as usual and use the
specified signedness.

E.g. without this:

  $ perf probe -a 'submit_bio bio->bi_iter.bi_sector'
  Added new event:
    probe:submit_bio     (on submit_bio with bi_sector=bio->bi_iter.bi_sector)
  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
          perf record -e probe:submit_bio -aR sleep 1
  $ cat trace_pipe|head
          dbench-9692  [003] d..1   971.096633: submit_bio: (submit_bio+0x0/0x140) bi_sector=0x3a3d00

...
  // need to investigate the variable size
  $ perf probe -a 'submit_bio bio->bi_iter.bi_sector:s64'
  Added new event:
    probe:submit_bio     (on submit_bio with bi_sector=bio->bi_iter.bi_sector:s64)
  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
        perf record -e probe:submit_bio -aR sleep 1

  With this:

  // just use "s" to cast its signedness
  $ perf probe -v -a 'submit_bio bio->bi_iter.bi_sector:s'
  Added new event:
    probe:submit_bio     (on submit_bio with bi_sector=bio->bi_iter.bi_sector:s)
  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
          perf record -e probe:submit_bio -aR sleep 1
  $ cat trace_pipe|head
          dbench-9689  [001] d..1  1212.391237: submit_bio: (submit_bio+0x0/0x140) bi_sector=128

Masami Hiramatsu 7e9fca51fb perf probe: Support a special SDT probe format
Support a special SDT probe format which can omit the '%' prefix only if
the SDT group name starts with "sdt_". So, for example both of
"%sdt_libc:setjump" and "sdt_libc:setjump" are acceptable for perf probe
--add.

E.g. without this:

  # perf probe -a sdt_libc:setjmp
  Semantic error :There is non-digit char in line number.
  ...

With this:

  # perf probe -a sdt_libc:setjmp
  Added new event:
    sdt_libc:setjmp      (on %setjmp in /usr/lib64/libc-2.20.so)

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

  	perf record -e sdt_libc:setjmp -aR sleep 1

Masami Hiramatsu 36a009fe07 perf probe: Accept %sdt and %cached event name
To improve usability, support %[PROVIDER:]SDTEVENT format to add new
probes on SDT and cached events.

e.g.
  ----
  # perf probe -x /lib/libc-2.17.so  %lll_lock_wait_private
  Added new event:
    sdt_libc:lll_lock_wait_private (on %lll_lock_wait_private in /usr/lib/libc-2.17.so)

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

          perf record -e sdt_libc:lll_lock_wait_private -aR sleep 1

  # perf probe -l | more
    sdt_libc:lll_lock_wait_private (on __lll_lock_wait_private+21 in /usr/lib/libc-2.17.so)
  ----

Note that this is not only for SDT events, but also normal
events with event-name.

e.g. define "myevent" on cache (-n doesn't add the real probe)
  ----
  # perf probe -x ./perf --cache -n --add 'myevent=dso__load $params'
  ----
  Reuse the "myevent" from cache as below.
  ----
  # perf probe -x ./perf %myevent
  ----

Masami Hiramatsu 8d993d9690 perf probe: Add group name support
Allow user to set group name for adding new event.  Note that user must
ensure that the group name doesn't conflict with existing group name
carefully.

E.g. Existing group name can conflict with other events.  Especially,
using the group name reserved for kernel modules can hide kernel
embedded events when loading modules.

Masami Hiramatsu 4a0f65c102 perf probe: Remove caches when --cache is given
'perf probe --del' removes caches when '--cache' is given.  Note that
the delete pattern is not the same as for normal events.

If you cached probes with event name, --del "eventname" works as
expected. However, if you skipped it, the cached probes doesn't have
actual event name. In that case --del "probe-desc" is required (wildcard
is acceptable).  For example a cache entry has the probe-desc "vfs_read
$params", you can remove it with --del 'vfs_read*'.

Masami Hiramatsu 14a8fd7cee perf probe: Support adding probes on offline kernel modules
Support adding probes on offline kernel modules. This enables
perf-probe to trace kernel-module init functions via perf-probe.
If user gives the path of module with -m option, perf-probe
expects the module is offline.
This feature works with --add, --funcs, and --vars.

E.g)
 # perf probe -m /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/fs/btrfs/btrfs.ko \
   -a "extent_io_init:5 extent_state_cache"
 Add new events:
   probe:extent_io_init (on extent_io_init:5 with extent_state_cache)
   probe:extent_io_init_1 (on extent_io_init:5 with extent_state_cache)

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

         perf record -e probe:extent_io_init_1 -aR sleep 1

Masami Hiramatsu 469b9b8848 perf probe: Add basic module support
Add basic module probe support on perf probe. This introduces "--module
<MODNAME>" option to perf probe for putting probes and showing lines and
variables in the given module.

Currently, this supports only probing on running modules.  Supporting off-line
module probing is the next step.

e.g.)
[show lines]
 # ./perf probe --module drm -L drm_vblank_info
<drm_vblank_info:0>
      0  int drm_vblank_info(struct seq_file *m, void *data)
      1  {
                struct drm_info_node *node = (struct drm_info_node *) m->private
      3         struct drm_device *dev = node->minor->dev;
 ...
[show vars]
 # ./perf probe --module drm -V drm_vblank_info:3
Available variables at drm_vblank_info:3
        @<drm_vblank_info+20>
                (unknown_type)  data
                struct drm_info_node*   node
                struct seq_file*        m
[put a probe]
 # ./perf probe --module drm drm_vblank_info:3 node m
Add new event:
  probe:drm_vblank_info (on drm_vblank_info:3 with node m)

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

        perf record -e probe:drm_vblank_info -aR sleep 1

Masami Hiramatsu 2a9c8c3609 perf probe: Add lazy line matching support
Add lazy line matching support for specifying new probes.
This also changes the syntax of perf probe a bit. Now
perf probe accepts one of below probe event definitions.

1) Define event based on function name
 [EVENT=]FUNC[@SRC][:RLN|+OFF|%return|;PTN] [ARG ...]

2) Define event based on source file with line number
 [EVENT=]SRC:ALN [ARG ...]

3) Define event based on source file with lazy pattern
 [EVENT=]SRC;PTN [ARG ...]

- New lazy matching pattern(PTN) follows ';' (semicolon). And it
  must be put the end of the definition.
- So, @SRC is no longer the part which must be put at the end
  of the definition.

Note that ';' (semicolon) can be interpreted as the end of
a command by the shell. This means that you need to quote it.
(anyway you will need to quote the lazy pattern itself too,
because it may contains other sensitive characters, like
'[',']' etc.).

Lazy matching
-------------
The lazy line matching is similar to glob matching except
ignoring spaces in both of pattern and target.

e.g.
'a=*' can matches 'a=b', 'a = b', 'a == b' and so on.

This provides some sort of flexibility and robustness to
probe point definitions against minor code changes.
(for example, actual 10th line of schedule() can be changed
 easily by modifying schedule(), but the same line matching
 'rq=cpu_rq*' may still exist.)

Changes in v3:
 - Cast Dwarf_Addr to uintmax_t for printf-formats.

Changes in v2:
 - Cast Dwarf_Addr to unsigned long long for printf-formats.

Masami Hiramatsu 631c9def80 perf probe: Support --line option to show probable source-code lines
Add --line option to support showing probable source-code lines.

  perf probe --line SRC:LN[-LN|+NUM]
   or
  perf probe --line FUNC[:LN[-LN|+NUM]]

This option shows source-code with line number if the line can
be probed. Lines without line number (and blue color) means that
the line can not be probed, because debuginfo doesn't have the
information of those lines.

The argument specifies the range of lines, "source.c:100-120"
shows lines between 100th to l20th in source.c file. And
"func:10+20" shows 20 lines from 10th line of func function.

e.g.
 # ./perf probe --line kernel/sched.c:1080
 <kernel/sched.c:1080>
          *
          * called with rq->lock held and irqs disabled
          */
         static void hrtick_start(struct rq *rq, u64 delay)
         {
                struct hrtimer *timer = &rq->hrtick_timer;
   1086         ktime_t time = ktime_add_ns(timer->base->get_time(), delay);

                hrtimer_set_expires(timer, time);

   1090         if (rq == this_rq()) {
   1091                 hrtimer_restart(timer);
   1092         } else if (!rq->hrtick_csd_pending) {
   1093                 __smp_call_function_single(cpu_of(rq), &rq->hrtick_csd,
   1094                 rq->hrtick_csd_pending = 1;

If you specifying function name, this shows function-relative
line number.

 # ./perf probe --line schedule
 <schedule:0>
         asmlinkage void __sched schedule(void)
      1  {
                struct task_struct *prev, *next;
                unsigned long *switch_count;
                struct rq *rq;
                int cpu;

         need_resched:
                preempt_disable();
      9         cpu = smp_processor_id();
     10         rq = cpu_rq(cpu);
     11         rcu_sched_qs(cpu);
     12         prev = rq->curr;
     13         switch_count = &prev->nivcsw;
