perf list: Robustify event printing routine

2015-12-16T19:43:10Z

When a43eec304259 ("bpf: introduce bpf_perf_event_output() helper") added PERF_COUNT_SW_BPF_OUTPUT we ended up with a new entry in the event_symbols_sw array that wasn't initialized, thus set to NULL, fix print_symbol_events() to check for that case so that we don't crash if this happens again.

perf list: Add support for PERF_COUNT_SW_BPF_OUT

2015-12-16T19:43:10Z

When PERF_COUNT_SW_BPF_OUTPUT was added to the kernel we should've added it to tools/perf, where it is used just to list events. This ended up causing a segfault in commands like "perf list stall". Fix it by adding that new software counter. A patch to robustify perf to not segfault when the next counter gets added in the kernel will follow this one.

tools/virtio: fix byteswap logic

2015-12-07T15:28:10Z

commit cf561f0d2eb74574ad9985a2feab134267a9d298 ("virtio: introduce virtio_is_little_endian() helper") changed byteswap logic to skip feature bit checks for LE platforms, but didn't update tools/virtio, so vring_bench started failing. Update the copy under tools/virtio/ (TODO: find a way to avoid this code duplication). Cc: Greg Kurz Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin

perf hists browser: Fix segfault if use symbol filter in cmdline

2015-12-07T15:02:35Z

If feed perf a symbol filter in cmdline and the result is empty, pressing 'Enter' in the hist browser causes crash: # ./perf report perf.data <-- Common mistake for beginners Then press 'Enter': perf: Segmentation fault -------- backtrace -------- /home/wangnan/perf[0x53e578] /lib64/libc.so.6(+0x3545f)[0x7f76bafe045f] /home/wangnan/perf[0x539dd4] /home/wangnan/perf(perf_evlist__tui_browse_hists+0x96)[0x53d216] /home/wangnan/perf(cmd_report+0x1b9f)[0x442c7f] /home/wangnan/perf[0x47efa2] /home/wangnan/perf(main+0x5f5)[0x432fa5] /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf4)[0x7f76bafccbd4] /home/wangnan/perf[0x4330d4] This is because 'perf.data' is interpreted as a symbol filter, and the result is empty, so selection is empty. However, hist_browser__toggle_fold() forgets to check it. This patch simply return false when selection is NULL.

perf hists browser: Reset selection when refresh

2015-12-07T15:02:12Z

With the following steps: Step 1: perf report Step 2: Use UP/DOWN to select an entry, don't press 'ENTER' Step 3: Use '/' to filter symbols, use a filter which returns empty result Step 4: Press 'ENTER' We see that, even if we have filtered all the symbols (and the main interface is empty), pressing 'ENTER' still selects one symbol. This behavior surprises the user. This patch resets browser->{he_,}selection in hist_browser__refresh() and lets it choose default selection. In this case browser->{he_,}selection keeps NULL so user won't see annotation item in menu.

perf hists browser: Add NULL pointer check to prevent crash

2015-12-07T15:02:11Z

Before this patch we can trigger a segfault by following steps: Step 0: Use 'perf record' to generate a perf.data without callchain Step 1: perf report Step 2: Use UP/DOWN to select an entry, don't press 'ENTER' Step 3: Use '/' to filter symbols, use a filter which returns empty result Step 4: Press 'ENTER' (notice here that the old selection is still there. This is another problem) Step 5: Press 'ENTER' to annotate that symbol Step 6: Press 'LEFT' to go out. Result: segfault: perf: Segmentation fault -------- backtrace -------- /home/wangnan/perf[0x53e568] /lib64/libc.so.6(+0x3545f)[0x7fba75d3245f] /home/wangnan/perf[0x537516] /home/wangnan/perf[0x533fef] /home/wangnan/perf[0x53b347] /home/wangnan/perf(perf_evlist__tui_browse_hists+0x96)[0x53d206] /home/wangnan/perf(cmd_report+0x1b9f)[0x442c7f] /home/wangnan/perf[0x47efa2] /home/wangnan/perf(main+0x5f5)[0x432fa5] /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf4)[0x7fba75d1ebd4] /home/wangnan/perf[0x4330d4] This is because in this case 'nd' could be NULL in ui_browser__hists_seek(), but that function never checks it. This patch adds checker for potential NULL pointer in that function. After this patch the above steps won't segfault.

perf buildid-list: Fix return value of perf buildid-list -k

2015-12-07T15:02:10Z

The buildid string length is returned by perf buildid-list -k command. Since a non-zero return value means an error, perf buildid-list -k cmd should return 0 when successful instead.

perf buildid-list: Show running kernel build id fix

2015-12-07T15:02:10Z

The --kernel option of perf buildid-list tool should show the running kernel buildid. The functionality has been lost during other changes of the related code. The build_id__sprintf() function should return length of the build-id string, but it was the length of the build-id raw data instead. Due to that, some return value checking caused that the final string was not printed out. With this patch the build_id__sprintf() returns the correct value, so the --kernel option works again.
