Chris Phlipot 9c7b37cd63 perf symbols: Fix handling of zero-length symbols.
This change introduces a fix to symbols__find, so that it is able to
find symbols of length zero (where start == end).

The current code has the following problem:

- The current implementation of symbols__find is unable to find any symbols
  of length zero.

- The db-export framework explicitly creates zero length symbols at
  locations where no symbol currently exists.

The combination of the two above behaviors results in behavior similar
to the example below.

1. addr_location is created for a sample, but symbol is unable to be
   resolved.

2. db export creates an "unknown" symbol of length zero at that address
   and inserts it into the dso.

3. A new sample comes in at the same address, but symbol__find is unable
   to find the zero length symbol, so it is still unresolved.

4. db export sees the symbol is unresolved, and allocated a duplicate
   symbol, even though it already did this in step 2.

This behavior continues every time an address without symbol information
is seen, which causes a very large number of these symbols to be
allocated.

The effect of this fix can be observed by looking at the contents of an
exported database before/after the fix (generated with
scripts/python/export-to-postgresql.py)

Ex.
BEFORE THE CHANGE:

  example_db=# select count(*) from symbols;
   count
  --------
   900213
  (1 row)

  example_db=# select count(*) from symbols where symbols.name='unknown';
   count
  --------
   897355
  (1 row)

  example_db=# select count(*) from symbols where symbols.name!='unknown';
   count
  -------
    2858
  (1 row)

AFTER THE CHANGE:

  example_db=# select count(*) from symbols;
   count
  -------
   25217
  (1 row)

  example_db=# select count(*) from symbols where name='unknown';
   count
  -------
   22359
  (1 row)

  example_db=# select count(*) from symbols where name!='unknown';
   count
  -------
    2858

Wang Nan ee74701ed8 perf tests: Add test to check backward ring buffer
This test checks reading from backward ring buffer.

Test result:

  # ~/perf test 'ring buffer'
  45: Test backward reading from ring buffer                   : Ok

The test case is a while loop which calls prctl(PR_SET_NAME) multiple
times.  Each prctl should issue 2 events: one PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE, one
PERF_RECORD_COMM.

The first round creates a relative large ring buffer (256 pages). It can
afford all events. Read from it and check the count of each type of
events.

The second round creates a small ring buffer (1 page) and makes it
overwritable. Check the correctness of the buffer.

Chris Phlipot 3521f3bc9d perf script: Update export-to-postgresql to support callchain export
Update the export-to-postgresql.py to support the newly introduced
callchain export.

callchains are added into the existing call_paths table and can now
be associated with samples when the "callpaths" commandline option
is used with the script.

Ex.:

  $ perf script -s export-to-postgresql.py example_db all callchains

Includes the following changes to enable callchain export via the python export
APIs:

- Add the "callchains" commandline option, which is used to enable
  callchain export by setting the perf_db_export_callchains global
- Add perf_db_export_callchains checks for call_path table creation
  and population.
- Add call_path_id to samples_table to conform with the new API

example usage and output using a small test app:

  test_app.c:

	volatile int x = 0;
	void inc_x_loop()
	{
		int i;
		for(i=0; i<100000000; i++)
			x++;
	}

	void a()
	{
		inc_x_loop();
	}

	void b()
	{
		inc_x_loop();
	}

	int main()
	{
		a();
		b();
		return 0;
	}

example usage:

  $ gcc -g -O0 test_app.c
  $ perf record --call-graph=dwarf ./a.out
  [ perf record: Woken up 77 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 19.373 MB perf.data (2404 samples) ]

  $ perf script -s scripts/python/export-to-postgresql.py
	example_db all callchains

  $ psql example_db

  example_db=#
  SELECT
  (SELECT name FROM symbols WHERE id = cps.symbol_id) as symbol,
  (SELECT name FROM symbols WHERE id =
	(SELECT symbol_id from call_paths where id = cps.parent_id))
	as parent_symbol,
  sum(period) as event_count
  FROM samples join call_paths as cps on call_path_id = cps.id
  GROUP BY cps.id,evsel_id
  ORDER BY event_count DESC
  LIMIT 5;

        symbol      |      parent_symbol       | event_count
  ------------------+--------------------------+-------------
   inc_x_loop       | a                        |   734250982
   inc_x_loop       | b                        |   731028057
   unknown          | unknown                  |     1335858
   task_tick_fair   | scheduler_tick           |     1238842
   update_wall_time | tick_do_update_jiffies64 |      650373
  (5 rows)

The above data shows total "self time" in cycles for each call path that was
sampled. It is intended to demonstrate how it accounts separately for the two
ways to reach the "inc_x_loop" function(via "a" and "b").  Recursive common
table expressions can be used as well to get cumulative time spent in a
function as well, but that is beyond the scope of this basic example.

Chris Phlipot 2c15f5eb04 perf script: Expose usage of the callchain db export via the python api
This change allows python scripts to be able to utilize the recent
changes to the db export api allowing the export of call_paths derived
from sampled callchains. These call paths are also now associated with
the samples from which they were derived.

- This feature is enabled by setting "perf_db_export_callchains" to true

- When enabled, samples that have callchain information will have the
  callchains exported via call_path_table

- The call_path_id field is added to sample_table to enable association of
  samples with the corresponding callchain stored in the call paths
  table. A call_path_id of 0 will be exported if there is no
  corresponding callchain.

- When "perf_db_export_callchains" and "perf_db_export_calls" are both
  set to True, the call path root data structure will be shared. This
  prevents duplicating of data and call path ids that would result from
  building two separate call path trees in memory.

- The call_return_processor structure definition was relocated to the header
  file to make its contents visible to db-export.c. This enables the
  sharing of call path trees between the two features, as mentioned
  above.

This change is visible to python scripts using the python db export api.

The change is backwards compatible with scripts written against the
previous API, assuming that the scripts model the sample_table function
after the one in export-to-postgresql.py script by allowing for
additional arguments to be added in the future. ie. using *x as the
final argument of the sample_table function.

Chris Phlipot 568850eaad perf script: Add call path id to exported sample in db export
The exported sample now contains a reference to the call_path_id that
represents its callchain.

While callchains themselves are nice to have, being able to associate
them with samples makes them much more useful, and can allow for such
things as determining how much cumulative time is spent in a particular
function. This information is normally possible to get from the call
return processor. However, when doing normal sampling, call/return
information is not available, thus necessitating the need for
associating samples directly with call paths.

This commit include changes to db-export layer to make this information
available for subsequent patches in this change set, but by itself, does
not make any changes visible to the user.

Chris Phlipot 0a3eba3ad6 perf script: Enable db export to output sampled callchains
This change enables the db export api to export callchains. This is
accomplished by adding callchains obtained from samples to the
call_path_root structure and exporting them via the current call path
export API.

While the current API does support exporting call paths, this is not
supported when sampling. This commit addresses that missing feature by
allowing the export of call paths when callchains are present in
samples.

Summary:

- This feature is activated by initializing the call_path_root member
  inside the db_export structure to a non-null value.

- Callchains are resolved with thread__resolve_callchain() and then stored
  and exported by adding a call path under call path root.
- Symbol and DSO for each callchain node are exported via db_ids_from_al()

This commit puts in place infrastructure to be used by subsequent commits,
and by itself, does not introduce any user-visible changes.

Summary:

- Create call-path.c and call-path.h and add them to the build.

- Move all call path related code out of thread-stack.c and thread-stack.h
  and into call-path.c and call-path.h.

- A small subset of structures and functions are now visible through
  call-path.h, which is required for thread-stack.c to continue to

Chris Phlipot 9919a65ec5 perf callchain: Fix incorrect ordering of entries
The existing implementation of thread__resolve_callchain, under certain
circumstances, can assemble callchain entries in the incorrect order.

The callchain entries are resolved incorrectly for a sample when all of
the following conditions are met:

1. callchain_param.order is set to ORDER_CALLER

2. thread__resolve_callchain_sample is able to resolve callchain entries
   for the sample.

3. unwind__get_entries is also able to resolve callchain entries for the
   sample.

The fix is accomplished by reversing the order in which
thread__resolve_callchain_sample and unwind__get_entries are called when
callchain_param.order is set to ORDER_CALLER.

Unwind specific code from thread__resolve_callchain is also moved into a
new static function to improve readability of the fix.

How to Reproduce the Existing Bug:

Modifying perf script to print call trees in the opposite order or
applying the remaining patches from this series and comparing the
results output from export-to-postgtresql.py are the easiest ways to see
the bug, however it can still be seen in current builds using perf
report.

Here is how i can reproduce the bug using perf report:

  # perf record --call-graph=dwarf stress -c 1 -t 5

when i run this command:

  # perf report --call-graph=flat,0,0,callee

This callchain, containing kernel (handle_irq_event, etc) and userspace
samples (__libc_start_main, etc) is contained in the output, which looks
correct (callee order):

                gen8_irq_handler
                handle_irq_event_percpu
                handle_irq_event
                handle_edge_irq
                handle_irq
                do_IRQ
                ret_from_intr
                __random
                rand
                0x558f2a04dded
                0x558f2a04c774
                __libc_start_main
                0x558f2a04dcd9

Now run this command using caller order:

  # perf report --call-graph=flat,0,0,caller

It is expected to see the exact reverse of the above when using caller
order (with "0x558f2a04dcd9" at the top and "gen8_irq_handler" at the
bottom) in the output, but it is nowhere to be found.

instead you see this:

                ret_from_intr
                do_IRQ
                handle_irq
                handle_edge_irq
                handle_irq_event
                handle_irq_event_percpu
                gen8_irq_handler
                0x558f2a04dcd9
                __libc_start_main
                0x558f2a04c774
                0x558f2a04dded
                rand
                __random

Notice how internally the kernel symbols are reversed and the user space
symbols are reversed, but the kernel symbols still appear above the user
space symbols.

if this patch is applied and perf script is re-run, you will see the
expected output (with "0x558f2a04dcd9" at the top and "gen8_irq_handler"
at the bottom):

                0x558f2a04dcd9
                __libc_start_main
                0x558f2a04c774
                0x558f2a04dded
                rand
                __random
                ret_from_intr
                do_IRQ
                handle_irq
                handle_edge_irq
                handle_irq_event
                handle_irq_event_percpu

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 4c4d6e5190 perf trace: Do not print raw args list for syscalls with no args
The test to check if the arg format had been read from the
syscall:sys_enter_name/format file was looking at the list of non-commom
fields, and if that is empty, it would think it had failed to read it,
because it doesn't exist, for instance, for the clone() syscall.

So instead before dumping the raw syscall args list check
IS_ERR(sc->tp_format), if that is true, then an attempt was made to read
the format file and failed, in which case dump the raw arg list values.

Wang Nan b6b85dad30 perf evlist: Rename variable in perf_mmap__read()
In perf_mmap__read(), give better names to pointers. Original name 'old'
and 'head' directly related to pointers in ring buffer control page. For
backward ring buffer, the meaning of 'head' point is not 'the first byte
of free space', but 'the first byte of the last record'. To reduce
confusion, rename 'old' to 'start', 'head' to 'end'.  'start' -> 'end'
is the direction the records should be read from.

Change parameter order.

Change 'overwrite' to 'check_messup'. When reading from 'head', no need
to check messup for for backward ring buffer.

Naveen N. Rao 0b3c2264ae perf symbols: Fix kallsyms perf test on ppc64le
ppc64le functions have a Global Entry Point (GEP) and a Local Entry
Point (LEP). While placing a probe, we always prefer the LEP since it
catches function calls through both the GEP and the LEP. In order to do
this, we fixup the function entry points during elf symbol table lookup
to point to the LEPs. This works, but breaks 'perf test kallsyms' since
the symbols loaded from the symbol table (pointing to the LEP) do not
match the symbols in kallsyms.

To fix this, we do not adjust all the symbols during symbol table load.
Instead, we note down st_other in a newly introduced arch-specific
member of perf symbol structure, and later use this to adjust the probe
trace point.

Naveen N. Rao 239aeba764 perf powerpc: Fix kprobe and kretprobe handling with kallsyms on ppc64le
So far, we used to treat probe point offsets as being offset from the
LEP. However, userspace applications (objdump/readelf) always show
disassembly and offsets from the function GEP. This is confusing to the
user as we will end up probing at an address different from what the
user expects when looking at the function disassembly with
readelf/objdump. Fix this by changing how we modify probe address with
perf.

If only the function name is provided, we assume the user needs the LEP.
Otherwise, if an offset is specified, we assume that the user knows the
exact address to probe based on function disassembly, and so we just
place the probe from the GEP offset.

Finally, kretprobe was also broken with kallsyms as we were trying to
specify an offset. This patch also fixes that issue.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo f58c253564 perf tools: Add template for generating rbtree resort class
Sometimes we want to sort an existing rbtree by a different key,
introduce a template for that, that needs only to be provided the
rbtree root and the number of entries in it.

To do that a new rbtree will be created with extra space for each entry,
where possibly pre-calculated keys will be stored to be used in the
resort process and also later, when using the newly sorted rbtree.

Please check the following two changesets to see it in use for resorting
stats for threads and its syscalls in 'perf trace --summary'.

Vaishali Thakkar ca7ce82a28 perf tests: Do not use sizeof on pointer type
Using sizeof on a malloced pointer type will return the wordsize which
can often cause one to allocate a buffer much smaller than it is needed.
So, here do not use sizeof on pointer type.

Note that this has no effect on runtime because 'dsos' is a pointer to a
pointer.

Problem found using Coccinelle.

Wang Nan be7b0c9e37 perf record: Generate tracking events for process forked by perf
With 'perf record --switch-output' without -a, record__synthesize() in
record__switch_output() won't generate tracking events because there's
no thread_map in evlist. Which causes newly created perf.data doesn't
contain map and comm information.

This patch creates a fake thread_map and directly call
perf_event__synthesize_thread_map() for those events.

Wang Nan 0c1d46a879 perf record: Disable buildid cache options by default in switch output mode
The cost of buildid cache processing is high: reading all events in
output perf.data, opening each elf file to read buildids then copying
them into ~/.debug directory. In switch output mode, these heavy works
block perf from receiving perf events for too long.

Enable no-buildid and no-buildid-cache by default if --switch-output is
provided. Still allow user use --no-no-buildid to explicitly enable
buildid in this case.

States and transits:

 OFF--(on)--> READY --(hit)--> HIT
		^               |
		|            (ready)
		|               |
		 \_____________/

is_hit and is_ready are two key functions to query the state of a
trigger. is_hit means the event already happen; is_ready means the
trigger is waiting for the event.

When the kernel allows tweaking perf_event_max_stack and the event being
setup has PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN in its perf_event_attr.sample_type, tell
the user that tweaking /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_stack may solve
the problem.

Before:

  # echo 32000 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_stack
  # perf record -g usleep 1
  Error:
  The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 12 (Cannot allocate memory) for event (cycles:ppp).
  /bin/dmesg may provide additional information.
  No CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS=y kernel support configured?

  #

After:

  # echo 64000 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_stack
  # perf record -g usleep 1
  Error:
  Not enough memory to setup event with callchain.
  Hint: Try tweaking /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_stack
