perf report powerpc: Fix crash if callchain is empty

2018-08-28T05:21:35Z

[ Upstream commit 143c99f6ac6812d23254e80844d6e34be897d3e1 ] For some cases, the callchain provided by the kernel may be empty. So, the callchain ip filtering code will cause a crash if we do not check whether the struct ip_callchain pointer is NULL before accessing any members. This can be observed on a powerpc64le system running Fedora 27 as shown below. # perf record -b -e cycles:u ls Before: # perf report --branch-history perf: Segmentation fault -------- backtrace -------- perf[0x1027615c] linux-vdso64.so.1(__kernel_sigtramp_rt64+0x0)[0x7fff856304d8] perf(arch_skip_callchain_idx+0x44)[0x10257c58] perf[0x1017f2e4] perf(thread__resolve_callchain+0x124)[0x1017ff5c] perf(sample__resolve_callchain+0xf0)[0x10172788] ...

perf report: Ensure the perf DSO mapping matches what libdw sees

This patch double-checks what libdw sees and what perf knows. If the mappings mismatch, we now report the elf known to perf. This fixes the situation above, and the libdw unwinder produces the same stack as libunwind.

perf trace: Add mmap alias for s390

2018-04-13T17:52:17Z

[ Upstream commit 54265664c15a68905d8d67d19205e9a767636434 ] The s390 architecture maps sys_mmap (nr 90) into sys_old_mmap. For this reason perf trace can't find the proper syscall event to get args format from and displays it wrongly as 'continued'. To fix that fill the "alias" field with "old_mmap" for trace's mmap record to get the correct translation.

perf inject: Copy events when reordering events in pipe mode

2018-03-22T08:37:15Z

[ Upstream commit 1e0d4f0200e4dbdfc38d818f329d8a0955f7c6f5 ] __perf_session__process_pipe_events reuses the same memory buffer to process all events in the pipe. When reordering is needed (e.g. -b option), events are not immediately flushed, but kept around until reordering is possible, causing memory corruption. The problem is usually observed by a "Unknown sample error" output. It can easily be reproduced by: perf record -o - noploop | perf inject -b > output Committer testing: Before: $ perf record -o - stress -t 2 -c 2 | perf inject -b > /dev/null stress: info: [8297] dispatching hogs: 2 cpu, 0 io, 0 vm, 0 hdd stress: info: [8297] successful run completed in 2s [ perf record: Woken up 3 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.000 MB - ] Warning: Found 1 unknown events!

perf tools: Make perf_event__synthesize_mmap_events() scale

2018-03-22T08:37:12Z

[ Upstream commit 88b897a30c525c2eee6e7f16e1e8d0f18830845e ] This patch significantly improves the execution time of perf_event__synthesize_mmap_events() when running perf record on systems where processes have lots of threads. It just happens that cat /proc/pid/maps support uses a O(N^2) algorithm to generate each map line in the maps file. If you have 1000 threads, then you have necessarily 1000 stacks. For each vma, you need to check if it corresponds to a thread's stack. With a large number of threads, this can take a very long time. I have seen latencies >> 10mn. As of today, perf does not use the fact that a mapping is a stack, therefore we can work around the issue by using /proc/pid/tasks/pid/maps. This entry does not try to map a vma to stack and is thus much faster with no loss of functonality. The proc-map-timeout logic is kept in case users still want some upper limit. In V2, we fix the file path from /proc/pid/tasks/pid/maps to actual /proc/pid/task/pid/maps, tasks -> task. Thanks Arnaldo for catching this. Committer note: This problem seems to have been elliminated in the kernel since commit : b18cb64ead40 ("fs/proc: Stop trying to report thread stacks").
