GCC often introduces new warnings with lots of false positives -
breaking -Werror builds. WERROR=0 allows one to build perf without much
fuss - while still encouraging people to send patches to avoid the fuss
of having to type WERROR=0.
Bisecting back to commits that produce a (mostly harmless) warning on
some compilers is more difficult. With WERROR=0 one could bisect without
worrying about harmless warnings.

The 'perf top' tool came from the kernel where we had each DSO (vmlinux,
modules) loaded just once at a time.
But userspace may have DSOs loaded in multiple addresses (shared
libraries), requiring that we use the just resolved map instead of the
first one found.

Buildid can vary in size. According to the man page of ld, buildid can
be 160 bits (sha1) or 128 bits (md5, uuid). Perf assumes buildid size of
20 bytes (160 bits) regardless. When dealing with md5 buildids, it would
thus read more than needed and that would cause mismatches and samples
without symbols.
This patch fixes this by taking into account the actual buildid size as
encoded int he section header. The leftover bytes are also cleared.
This second version fixes a minor issue with the memset() base position.

Currently, analyzing PPC data files on x86 the cpu field is always 0 and
the tid and pid are backwards. For example, analyzing a PPC file on PPC
the pid/tid fields show:
rsyslogd 1210/1212
and analyzing the same PPC file using an x86 perf binary shows:
rsyslogd 1212/1210
The problem is that the swap_op method for samples is
perf_event__all64_swap which assumes all elements in the sample_data
struct are u64s. cpu, tid and pid are u32s and need to be handled
individually. Given that the swap is done before the sample is parsed,
the simplest solution is to undo the 64-bit swap of those elements when
the sample is parsed and do the proper swap.
The RAW data field is generic and perf cannot have programmatic knowledge
of how to treat that data. Instead a warning is given to the user.
Thanks to Anton Blanchard for providing a data file for a mult-CPU
PPC system so I could verify the fix for the CPU fields.
v3 -> v4:
- fixed use of WARN_ONCE
v2 -> v3:
- used WARN_ONCE for message regarding raw data
- removed struct wrapper around union
- fixed whitespace issues
v1 -> v2:
- added a union for undoing the byte-swap on u64 and redoing swap on
u32's to address compiler errors (see git commit 65014ab3)

I took a profile that suggested 60% of total CPU time was in the
hypervisor:
...
60.20% [H] 0x33d43c
4.43% [k] ._spin_lock_irqsave
1.07% [k] ._spin_lock
Using perf stat to get the user/kernel/hypervisor breakdown contradicted
this.
The problem is we merge all unresolved samples into the one unknown
bucket. If add a comparison by sample type to sort__sym_cmp we get the
real picture:
...
57.11% [.] 0x80fbf63c
4.43% [k] ._spin_lock_irqsave
1.07% [k] ._spin_lock
0.65% [H] 0x33d43c
So it was almost all userspace, not hypervisor as the initial profile
suggested.
I found another issue while adding this. Symbol sorting sometimes shows
multiple entries for the unknown bucket:
...
16.65% [.] 0x6cd3a8
7.25% [.] 0x422460
5.37% [.] yylex
4.79% [.] malloc
4.78% [.] _int_malloc
4.03% [.] _int_free
3.95% [.] hash_source_code_string
2.82% [.] 0x532908
2.64% [.] 0x36b538
0.94% [H] 0x8000000000e132a4
0.82% [H] 0x800000000000e8b0
This happens because we aren't consistent with our sorting. On
one hand we check to see if both symbols match and for two unresolved
samples sym is NULL so we match:
if (left->ms.sym == right->ms.sym)
return 0;
On the other hand we use sample IP for unresolved samples when
comparing against a symbol:
ip_l = left->ms.sym ? left->ms.sym->start : left->ip;
ip_r = right->ms.sym ? right->ms.sym->start : right->ip;
This means unresolved samples end up spread across the rbtree and we
can't merge them all.
If we use cmp_null all unresolved samples will end up in the one bucket
and the output makes more sense:
...
39.12% [.] 0x36b538
5.37% [.] yylex
4.79% [.] malloc
4.78% [.] _int_malloc
4.03% [.] _int_free
3.95% [.] hash_source_code_string
2.26% [H] 0x800000000000e8b0

perf_event__synthesize_mmap_events does not create anonymous mmap events
even though the kernel does. As a result an already running application
with dynamically created code will not get profiled - all samples end up
in the unknown bucket.
This patch skips any entries with '[' in the name to avoid adding events
for special regions (eg the vsyscall page). All other executable mmaps
are assumed to be anonymous and an event is synthesized.

perf-record currently creates events enabled. When doing a system wide
collection (-a arg) this causes data collection for perf's
initialization activities -- eg., perf_event__synthesize_threads().
For some events (e.g., context switch S/W event or tracepoints like
syscalls) perf's initialization causes a lot of events to be captured
frequently generating "Check IO/CPU overload!" warnings on larger
systems (e.g., 2 socket, quad core, hyperthreading).
perf's initialization phase can be skipped by creating events
disabled and then enabling them once the initialization is done.

kallsyms__parse assumes that /proc/kallsyms is sorted and sets the end
of the previous symbol to the start of the current one.
Unfortunately module symbols are not sorted, eg:
ffffffffa0081f30 t e1000_clean_rx_irq [e1000e]
ffffffffa00817a0 t e1000_alloc_rx_buffers [e1000e]
Some symbols end up with a negative length and others have a length
larger than they should. This results in confusing perf output.
We already have a function to fixup the end of zero length symbols so
use that instead.

Fix to call convert_variable() if previous call does not fail.
To call convert_variable, it ensures "ret" is 0. However, since
"ret" has the return value of synthesize_perf_probe_arg() which
always returns positive value if it succeeded, perf probe doesn't
call convert_variable(). This will cause a SEGV when we add an
event with arguments.
This has to be fixed as it ensures "ret" is greater than 0
(or not negative).
This regression has been introduced by my previous patch, f182e3e1.

There was a problem with the parse_events() code not printing the

The source of the problem was the way raw notation was parsed.
Without the patch:
$ perf stat -e retired_foo
invalid event modifier: 'tired_foo'
With the patch:
$ perf stat -e retired_foo

This also covers the case where the name of the event was not printed at

setting the symbolic name for the event. Perf top worked simply because
it was reconstructing the name from the event code. But it should not
have to do this. This patch initializes the evsel->name field properly.

call_file (data1) 2 ; call line and file
call_line (data2) 847 ; are same as above
Those redundant instances leads unwilling results;
e.g. find probe points inside of functions even if we specify
a function entry as below;
$ perf probe -V add_timer
Available variables at add_timer
@<add_timer+0>
struct timer_list* timer
@<add_timer+15>
(No matched variables)
So, this filters out those redundant instances based on call-site and
decl-site information.

gcc 4.6 generates a concrete out-of-line instance when there is a
function which is implicitly inlined somewhere but also has its own
instance. The concrete out-of-line instance means that it has an
abstract origin of the function which is referred by not only
inlined-subroutines but also a concrete subprogram.
Since current dwarf_func_inline_instances() can find only instances of
inlined-subroutines, this introduces new die_walk_instances() to find
both of subprogram and inlined-subroutines.
e.g. without this,
Available variables at sched_group_rt_period
@<cpu_rt_period_read_uint+9>
struct task_group* tg
perf probe failed to find actual subprogram instance of

Fix variable searching logic to search one in inner than local scope or
global(CU) scope. In the other words, skip searching in intermediate
scopes.
e.g., in the following code,
int var1;
void inline infunc(int i)
{
i++; <--- [A]
}
void func(void)
{
int var1, var2;
infunc(var2);
}
At [A], "var1" should point the global variable "var1", however, if user
mis-typed as "var2", variable search should be failed. However, current
logic searches variable infunc() scope, global scope, and then func()
scope. Thus, it can find "var2" variable in func() scope. This may not
be what user expects.
So, it would better not search outer scopes except outermost (compile
unit) scope which contains only global variables, when it failed to find
given variable in local scope.
E.g.
Without this:
$ perf probe -V pre_schedule --externs > without.vars
With this:
$ perf probe -V pre_schedule --externs > with.vars
Check the diff:

Fix perf probe to search local variables in appropriate local inlined
function scope. For example, pre_schedule() has only 2 local variables,
as below;
$ perf probe -L pre_schedule
<pre_schedule@/home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux-2.6/kernel/sched.c:0>
0 static inline void pre_schedule(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *prev)
{
2 if (prev->sched_class->pre_schedule)
3 prev->sched_class->pre_schedule(rq, prev);
}
However, current perf probe shows 4 local variables on pre_schedule(),
because it searches variables in the caller(schedule()) scope.
$ perf probe -V pre_schedule
Available variables at pre_schedule
@<schedule+445>
int cpu
long unsigned int* switch_count
struct rq* rq
struct task_struct* prev
This patch fixes this issue by searching variables in the local scope of
the instance of inlined function. Here is the result.
$ perf probe -V pre_schedule
Available variables at pre_schedule
@<schedule+445>
struct rq* rq
struct task_struct* prev

Fix line-range collector to walk all instances of inlined function,
because some execution paths can be optimized out depending on the
function argument of instances.
E.g.)
inline_func (arg) {
if (arg)
do_something;
else
do_another;
}
func_A() {
inline_func(1)
}
func_B() {
inline_func(0)
}
In this case, func_A may have only do_something code and func_B may have
only do_another.

Fix perf probe to walk through the lines of all nested inlined function
call sites and declared lines when a whole CU is passed to the line
walker.
The die_walk_lines() can have two different type of DIEs, subprogram (or
inlined-subroutine) DIE and CU DIE.
If a caller passes a subprogram DIE, this means that the walker walk on
lines of given subprogram. In this case, it just needs to search on
direct children of DIE tree for finding call-site information of inlined
function which directly called from given subprogram.
On the other hand, if a caller passes a CU DIE to the walker, this means
that the walker have to walk on all lines in the source files included
in given CU DIE. In this case, it has to search whole DIE trees of all
subprograms to find the call-site information of all nested inlined
functions.
Without this patch:
$ perf probe --line kernel/cpu.c:151-157
</home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux-2.6/kernel/cpu.c:151>
static int cpu_notify(unsigned long val, void *v)
{
154 return __cpu_notify(val, v, -1, NULL);
}
With this:
$ perf probe --line kernel/cpu.c:151-157
</home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux-2.6/kernel/cpu.c:151>
152 static int cpu_notify(unsigned long val, void *v)
{
154 return __cpu_notify(val, v, -1, NULL);
}
As you can see, --line option with source line range shows the declared
lines as probe-able.

Fix line walker to check whether a given DIE is CU or not.
Actually this function accepts CU, subprogram and inlined_subroutine
DIEs.
Without this fix, perf probe always fails to analyze lines on inlined
functions;
$ perf probe -L pre_schedule
Debuginfo analysis failed. (-2)
Error: Failed to show lines. (-2)
This fixes that bug, as below.
$ perf probe -L pre_schedule
<pre_schedule@/home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux-2.6/kernel/sched.c:0>
0 static inline void pre_schedule(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *prev

3 prev->sched_class->pre_schedule(rq, prev);
}
/* rq->lock is NOT held, but preemption is disabled */

If we bring the recorded perf data together with kernel binary from another
machine using:
on server A:
perf archive
on server B:
tar xjvf perf.data.tar.bz2 -C ~/.debug
the build_id kernel dso is not properly recognized during the "perf report"
command on server B.
The reason is, that build_id dsos are added during the session initialization,
while the kernel maps are created during the sample event processing.
The machine__create_kernel_maps functions ends up creating new dso object for
kernel, but it does not check if we already have one added by build_id
processing.
Also the build_id reading ABI quirk added in commit:
- commit b25114817a
perf build-id: Add quirk to deal with perf.data file format breakage
populates the "struct build_id_event::pid" with 0, which
is later interpreted as DEFAULT_GUEST_KERNEL_ID.
This is not always correct, so it's better to guess the pid
value based on the "struct build_id_event::header::misc" value.
- Tested with data generated on x86 kernel version v2.6.34
and reported back on x86_64 current kernel.
- Not tested for guest kernel case.
Note the problem stays for PERF_RECORD_MMAP events recorded by perf that
does not use proper pid (HOST_KERNEL_ID/DEFAULT_GUEST_KERNEL_ID). They are
misinterpreted within the current perf code. Probably there's not much we
can do about that.

and follows the DESTDIR variable settings.
Also moving python extension build output into '$(O)python_ext_build'

Keeping the '$(O)python/perf.so' file, so it could be used for testing
as of until now.
