There's a problem with relying on backtrace data from 'perf trace' the
way the trace+probe_libc_inet_pton does. This test inserts uprobe within
ping binary and checks that it gets its sample using 'perf trace'.
It also checks it gets proper backtrace from sample and that's where the
issue is.
The 'perf trace' does not sort events (by definition) so it can happen
that it processes the event sample before the ping binary memory map
event. This can (very rarely) happen as proved by this events dump
output (from custom added debug output):
...
7680/7680: [0x7f4e29718000(0x204000) @ 0 fd:00 33611321 4230892504]: r-xp /usr/lib64/libdl-2.17.so
7680/7680: [0x7f4e29502000(0x216000) @ 0 fd:00 33617257 2606846872]: r-xp /usr/lib64/libz.so.1.2.7
(IP, 0x2): 7680/7680: 0x7f4e29c2ed60 period: 1 addr: 0
7680/7680: [0x564842ef0000(0x233000) @ 0 fd:00 83 1989280200]: r-xp /usr/bin/ping

...
In this case 'perf trace' fails to resolve the last callchain IP (within
the ping binary) because it does not know about the ping binary memory
map yet and the test fails like this:
PING ::1(::1) 56 data bytes
64 bytes from ::1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.037 ms

FAIL: expected backtrace entry 8 ".*\(.*/bin/ping.*\)$" got "[0] ([unknown])"
Switching the test to use 'perf record' and 'perf script' instead of
'perf trace'.

This first happened with a gcc function, _cpp_lex_token, that has the
usual jumps:
│1159e6c: ↓ jne 115aa32 <_cpp_lex_token@@Base+0xf92>
I.e. jumps to a label inside that function (_cpp_lex_token), and those
works, but also this kind:
│1159e8b: ↓ jne c469be <cpp_named_operator2name@@Base+0xa72>
I.e. jumps to another function, outside _cpp_lex_token, which are not
being correctly handled generating as a side effect references to
ab->offset[] entries that are set to NULL, so to make this code more
robust, check that here.
A proper fix for will be put in place, looking at the function name
right after the '<' token and probably treating this like a 'call'
instruction.
For now just don't draw the arrow.

If we execute 'perf stat --per-thread' with non-root account (even set
kernel.perf_event_paranoid = -1 yet), it reports the error:
jinyao@skl:~$ perf stat --per-thread
Error:
You may not have permission to collect system-wide stats.
Consider tweaking /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid,
which controls use of the performance events system by
unprivileged users (without CAP_SYS_ADMIN).
The current value is 2:
-1: Allow use of (almost) all events by all users
Ignore mlock limit after perf_event_mlock_kb without CAP_IPC_LOCK
>= 0: Disallow ftrace function tracepoint by users without CAP_SYS_ADMIN
Disallow raw tracepoint access by users without CAP_SYS_ADMIN
>= 1: Disallow CPU event access by users without CAP_SYS_ADMIN
>= 2: Disallow kernel profiling by users without CAP_SYS_ADMIN
To make this setting permanent, edit /etc/sysctl.conf too, e.g.:
kernel.perf_event_paranoid = -1
Perhaps the ptrace rule doesn't allow to trace some processes. But anyway
the global --per-thread mode had better ignore such errors and continue
working on other threads.
This patch will record the index of error thread in perf_evsel__open()
and remove this thread before retrying.
For example (run with non-root, kernel.perf_event_paranoid isn't set):
jinyao@skl:~$ perf stat --per-thread

On older (e.g. v4.4) kernels, an annoying fallback message can be
observed in 'perf top':
┌─Warning:──────────────────────┐
│fall back to non-overwrite mode│
│ │
│ │
│Press any key... │
└───────────────────────────────┘
The 'perf top' utility has been changed to overwrite mode since commit
ebebbf0823 ("perf top: Switch default mode to overwrite mode").
For older kernels which don't have overwrite mode support, 'perf top'
will fall back to non-overwrite mode and print out the fallback message
using ui__warning(), which needs user's input to close.
The fallback message is not critical for end users. Turning it to debug
message which is printed when running with -vv.

When using -G with one cgroup and -e with multiple events, only the
first event gets the correct cgroup setting, all events from the second
onwards will track system-wide events.
If the user wants to track multiple events for a specific cgroup, the
user must give parameters like the following:
$ perf stat -e e1 -e e2 -e e3 -G test,test,test
This patch simplify this case, just type one cgroup:
$ perf stat -e e1 -e e2 -e e3 -G test
$ mkdir -p /sys/fs/cgroup/perf_event/empty_cgroup
$ perf stat -e cycles -e cache-misses -a -I 1000 -G empty_cgroup

Before this change, the '--graph-funcs', '--nograph-funcs' and
'--trace-funcs' options didn't work as expected when the <func> doesn't
exist. Because the kernel side hid possible errors.
$ sudo ./perf ftrace -a --graph-depth 1 --graph-funcs abcdefg
0) 0.140 us | rcu_all_qs();
3) 0.304 us | mutex_unlock();
0) 0.153 us | find_vma();
3) 0.088 us | __fsnotify_parent();
0) 6.145 us | handle_mm_fault();
3) 0.089 us | fsnotify();
3) 0.161 us | __sb_end_write();
3) 0.710 us | SyS_close();
3) 7.848 us | exit_to_usermode_loop();
On the example above, I specified the function filter 'abcdefg' but all
functions are enabled. The expected result is for all functions to be
filtered, since there is no such function ('abcdefg')
The original fix is to make the kernel support '\0' as end of string:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/1/16/116
But above fix cannot be compatible with old kernels. Then Namhyung Kim
suggest adding a space after function name.
This patch will append an '\n' when write tracing file. After this fix,
the perf will report correct error state. Also let it print an error if
reset_tracing_files() fails.
Committer testing:
Now it prints:
# perf ftrace -a --graph-depth 1 --graph-funcs abcdefg
failed to set tracing filters
#
And for an existing function:
# perf ftrace -a --graph-depth 1 --graph-funcs SyS_open
3) | SyS_open() {
3) ! 494.899 us | }
0) + 23.910 us | SyS_open();
1) + 17.115 us | SyS_open();
1) + 13.900 us | SyS_open();

The machine__set_kernel_mmap() is to setup addresses of the kernel map
using external info. But it has a check when the address is given from
an incorrect input which should have the start and end address of 0
(i.e. machine__process_kernel_mmap_event).
But we also use the end address of 0 for a valid input so change it to
check both start and end addresses.

now when one uses 'perf report --group' on a perf.data file
recorded without explicitly grouping events with {} (e.g.
"perf record -e '{cycles,instructions}'" get the same output

In some situations the vfs_getname is being added both as requested and
with a _1 suffix (inlines?):
probe:vfs_getname_1 (on getname_flags:63@acme/git/linux/fs/namei.c with pathname)
This ends up making the cleanup to miss that one, as it removes just
'probe:vfs_getname', which makes the second test to use this probe point
to fail, since it finds that leftover from the first test, use a
wildcard to remove both.

Using Fedora 27 and latest Linux kernel the test case

The function get_cpuid_str() is called by perf_pmu__getcpuid() and on
s390 returns a complete description of the CPU and its capabilities,
which is a comma separated list.
To map the CPU type with the value defined in the
pmu-events/arch/s390/mapfile.csv, introduce an architecture specific
cpuid compare function named strcmp_cpuid_str()
The currently used regex algorithm is defined as the weak default and
will be used if no platform specific one is defined. This matches the

For the cumulative output, we allocate the he_cache array based on the
--max-stack option value and populate it with data from 'callchain_cursor'.
The --max-stack option value does not ensure now the limit for number of
callchain_cursor nodes, so the cumulative iter code will allocate smaller array
than it's actually needed and cause above corruption.
I think the --max-stack limit does not apply here anyway, because we add
callchain data as normal hist entries, while the --max-stack control the limit
of single entry callchain depth.
Using the callchain_cursor.nr as he_cache array count to fix this. Also
removing struct hist_entry_iter::max_stack, because there's no longer any use
for it.
We need more fixes to ensure that the branch stack code follows properly the
logic of --max-stack, which is not the case at the moment.

Committer notes:
Please note that only from LBRv5 (according to Jiri) onwards, i.e. >=
Skylake is that we'll have the cycles counts in each branch record
entry, so to see the Cycles and IPC columns, and be able to test this
patch, one need a capable hardware.
While applying this I first tested it on a Broadwell class machine and
couldn't get those columns, will add code to the annotate browser to
warn the user about that, i.e. you have branch records, but no cycles,
use a more recent hardware to get the cycles and IPC columns.

A new packet type CS_ETM_TRACE_ON is added, which is emitted by the low

Added user space perf functionality to translate CoreSight traces into
instruction events with branch stack.
To invoke the new functionality, use the perf inject tool with
--itrace=il. For example, to translate the ETM trace from perf.data into
last branch records in a new inj.data file:
$ perf inject --itrace=i100000il128 -i perf.data -o perf.data.new
The 'i' parameter to itrace generates periodic instruction events. The
period between instruction events can be specified as a number of
instructions suffixed by i (default 100000).
The parameter to 'l' specifies the number of entries in the branch stack
attached to instruction events.
The 'b' parameter to itrace generates events on taken branches.
This patch also fixes the contents of the branch events used in perf
report - previously branch events were generated for each contiguous
range of instructions executed. These are fixed to generate branch
events between the last address of a range ending in an executed branch
instruction and the start address of the next range.
Based on patches by Sebastian Pop <s.pop@samsung.com> with additional fixes
and support for specifying the instruction period.

Mathieu Poirier reports issue in commit ("73c0ca1eee3d perf thread_map:

each thread in the system for 'perf record --per-thread'.
Mathieu Poirier's patch ("perf util: Do not reuse target->per_thread flag")
can fix this issue by creating a new target->all_threads flag.
This patch is based on Mathieu Poirier's patch but it doesn't use a new
target->all_threads flag. This patch just uses 'target->per_thread &&

The symbol search called by machine__find_kernel_symbol_by_name is using
internally arch__compare_symbol_names function to compare 2 symbol
names, because different archs have different ways of comparing symbols.
Mostly for skipping '.' prefixes and similar.
In test 1 when we try to find matching symbols in kallsyms and vmlinux,
by address and by symbol name. When either is found we compare the pair
symbol names by simple strcmp, which is not good enough for reasons
explained in previous paragraph.
On powerpc this can cause lockup, because even thought we found the
pair, the compared names are different and don't match simple strcmp.
Following code path is executed, that leads to lockup:
- we find the pair in kallsyms by sym->start
next_pair:
- we compare the names and it fails
- we find the pair by sym->name
- the pair addresses match so we call goto next_pair
because we assume the names match in this case

There's no need for kernel maps to be allocated at this point - sample
processing.
We search for kernel maps using the kernel map_groups in machine::kmaps
which is static. If vmlinux maps for any reason still don't exist, the
search correctly fails because they are not in the map group.

The current machine__load_kallsyms() function has no caller, so replace
it directly with __machine__load_kallsyms(). Also remove the no_kcore
argument as it was always called with a 'true' value.

We should not search for the kernel start address in
__machine__create_kernel_maps(), because it's being used in the 'report'
code path, where we are interested in kernel MMAP data address (the one
recorded via 'perf record', possibly on another machine, or an older or
newer kernel on the same machine where analysis is being performed)
instead of in current kernel address.
The __machine__create_kernel_maps() function serves purely for creating
the machines kernel maps and setting up the kmap group. The report code
path then sets the address based on the data from kernel MMAP event in
the machine__set_kernel_mmap() function.
The kallsyms search address logic is used for test code, that calls
machine__create_kernel_maps() to get current maps and calls
machine__get_running_kernel_start() to get kernel starting address.
Use machine__set_kernel_mmap() to set the kernel maps start address and
moving map_groups__fixup_end to be call when all maps are in place.
Also make __machine__create_kernel_maps static, because there's no
external user.

So it could be called without event object, just with start and end
values. It will be used in following patch.

It simplifies and centralizes the code. The kernel mmap name is set for
machine type, which we know from the beginning, so there's no reason to
generate it every time we need it.

The current code in dso__load() calls is_regular_file(), but it checks
its return value only after calling symsrc__init().
That can make symsrc__init() block in elf_* functions on reading
the file if the file happens to be device and not regular one.
Call symsrc__init() only for regular files. Also remove the
symsrc__destroy() cleanup, which is not needed now, because we call
symsrc__init() only for regular files.

Adding check on failed attempt to parse the address and skip the line
parsing early in that case.
The address can be replaced with '(null)' string in case user don't have
enough permissions, like:
$ cat /proc/kallsyms
(null) A irq_stack_union
(null) A __per_cpu_start
...
