Back in January I posted patches to create function based events. These were
the events that you suggested I make to allow developers to easily create
events in code where no trace event exists. After posting those changes for
review, it was suggested that we implement this instead with kprobes.
The problem with kprobes is that the interface is too complex and needs to
be simplified. Masami Hiramatsu posted patches in March and I've been
playing with them a bit. There's been a bit of clean up in the kprobe code
that was inspired by the function based event patches, and a couple of
enhancements to the kprobe event interface.
- If the arch supports it (we added support for x86), you can place a
kprobe event at the start of a function and use $arg1, $arg2, etc
to reference the arguments of a function. (Before you needed to know
what register or where on the stack the argument was).
- The second is a way to see array of events. For example, if you reference
a mac address, you can add:
echo 'p:mac ip_rcv perm_addr=+574($arg2):x8[6]' > kprobe_events
And this will produce:
mac: (ip_rcv+0x0/0x140) perm_addr={0x52,0x54,0x0,0xc0,0x76,0xec}
Other changes include
- Exporting trace_dump_stack to modules
- Have the stack tracer trace the entire stack (stop trying to remove
tracing itself, as we keep removing too much).
- Added support for SDT in uprobes

Currently, on x86-64, perf uses LFENCE and MFENCE (rmb() and mb(),
respectively) when processing events from the perf ring buffer which
is unnecessarily expensive as we can do more lightweight in particular
given this is critical fast-path in perf.
According to Peter rmb()/mb() were added back then via a94d342b9c
("tools/perf: Add required memory barriers") at a time where kernel
still supported chips that needed it, but nowadays support for these
has been ditched completely, therefore we can fix them up as well.
While for x86-64, replacing rmb() and mb() with smp_*() variants would
result in just a compiler barrier for the former and LOCK + ADD for
the latter (__sync_synchronize() uses slower MFENCE by the way), Peter
suggested we can use smp_{load_acquire,store_release}() instead for
architectures where its implementation doesn't resolve in slower smp_mb().
Thus, e.g. in x86-64 we would be able to avoid CPU barrier entirely due
to TSO. For architectures where the latter needs to use smp_mb() e.g.
on arm, we stick to cheaper smp_rmb() variant for fetching the head.
This work adds helpers ring_buffer_read_head() and ring_buffer_write_tail()
for tools infrastructure that either switches to smp_load_acquire() for
architectures where it is cheaper or uses READ_ONCE() + smp_rmb() barrier
for those where it's not in order to fetch the data_head from the perf
control page, and it uses smp_store_release() to write the data_tail.
Latter is smp_mb() + WRITE_ONCE() combination or a cheaper variant if
architecture allows for it. Those that rely on smp_rmb() and smp_mb() can
further improve performance in a follow up step by implementing the two
under tools/arch/*/include/asm/barrier.h such that they don't have to
fallback to rmb() and mb() in tools/include/asm/barrier.h.
Switch perf to use ring_buffer_read_head() and ring_buffer_write_tail()
so it can make use of the optimizations. Later, we convert libbpf as
well to use the same helpers.
Side note [0]: the topic has been raised of whether one could simply use
the C11 gcc builtins [1] for the smp_load_acquire() and smp_store_release()
instead:
__atomic_load_n(ptr, __ATOMIC_ACQUIRE);
__atomic_store_n(ptr, val, __ATOMIC_RELEASE);
Kernel and (presumably) tooling shipped along with the kernel has a
minimum requirement of being able to build with gcc-4.6 and the latter
does not have C11 builtins. While generally the C11 memory models don't
align with the kernel's, the C11 load-acquire and store-release alone
/could/ suffice, however. Issue is that this is implementation dependent
on how the load-acquire and store-release is done by the compiler and
the mapping of supported compilers must align to be compatible with the
kernel's implementation, and thus needs to be verified/tracked on a
case by case basis whether they match (unless an architecture uses them
also from kernel side). The implementations for smp_load_acquire() and
smp_store_release() in this patch have been adapted from the kernel side
ones to have a concrete and compatible mapping in place.

<quote>
Perf has this hack where it uses the kernel symbol map as a backup when
a symbol can't be found in the user's symbol table(s).
This causes problems because the tests driving this code path use
machine__kernel_ip(), and that is completely meaningless on Sparc. On
sparc64 the kernel and user live in physically separate virtual address
spaces, rather than a shared one. And the kernel lives at a virtual
address that overlaps common userspace addresses. So this test passes
almost all the time when a user symbol lookup fails.
The consequence of this is that, if the unfound user virtual address in
the sample doesn't match up to a kernel symbol either, we trigger things
like this code in builtin-top.c:
if (al.sym == NULL && al.map != NULL) {
const char *msg = "Kernel samples will not be resolved.\n";
/*
* As we do lazy loading of symtabs we only will know if the
* specified vmlinux file is invalid when we actually have a
* hit in kernel space and then try to load it. So if we get
* here and there are _no_ symbols in the DSO backing the
* kernel map, bail out.
*
* We may never get here, for instance, if we use -K/
* --hide-kernel-symbols, even if the user specifies an
* invalid --vmlinux ;-)
*/
if (!machine->kptr_restrict_warned && !top->vmlinux_warned &&
__map__is_kernel(al.map) && map__has_symbols(al.map)) {
if (symbol_conf.vmlinux_name) {
char serr[256];
dso__strerror_load(al.map->dso, serr, sizeof(serr));
ui__warning("The %s file can't be used: %s\n%s",
symbol_conf.vmlinux_name, serr, msg);
} else {
ui__warning("A vmlinux file was not found.\n%s",
msg);
}
if (use_browser <= 0)
sleep(5);
top->vmlinux_warned = true;
}
}
When I fire up a compilation on sparc, this triggers immediately.
I'm trying to figure out what the "backup to kernel map" code is
accomplishing.
I see some language in the current code and in the changes that have
happened in this area talking about vdso. Does that really happen?
The vdso is mapped into userspace virtual addresses, not kernel ones.
More history. This didn't cause problems on sparc some time ago,
because the kernel IP check used to be "ip < 0" :-) Sparc kernel
addresses are not negative. But now with machine__kernel_ip(), which
works using the symbol table determined kernel address range, it does
trigger.
What it all boils down to is that on architectures like sparc,
machine__kernel_ip() should always return false in this scenerio, and
therefore this kind of logic:
if (cpumode == PERF_RECORD_MISC_USER && machine &&
mg != &machine->kmaps &&
machine__kernel_ip(machine, al->addr)) {
is basically invalid. PERF_RECORD_MISC_USER implies no kernel address
can possibly match for the sample/event in question (no matter how
hard you try!) :-)
</>
So, I thought something had changed and in the past we would somehow
find that address in the kallsyms, but I couldn't find anything to back
that up, the patch introducing this is over a decade old, lots of things
changed, so I was just thinking I was missing something.
I tried a gtod busy loop to generate vdso activity and added a 'perf
probe' at that branch, on x86_64 to see if it ever gets hit:
Made thread__find_map() noinline, as 'perf probe' in lines of inline
functions seems to not be working, only at function start. (Masami?)
# perf probe -x ~/bin/perf -L thread__find_map:57
<thread__find_map@/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/util/event.c:57>
57 if (cpumode == PERF_RECORD_MISC_USER && machine &&
58 mg != &machine->kmaps &&
59 machine__kernel_ip(machine, al->addr)) {
60 mg = &machine->kmaps;
61 load_map = true;
62 goto try_again;
}
} else {
/*
* Kernel maps might be changed when loading
* symbols so loading
* must be done prior to using kernel maps.
*/
69 if (load_map)
70 map__load(al->map);
71 al->addr = al->map->map_ip(al->map, al->addr);
# perf probe -x ~/bin/perf thread__find_map:60
Added new event:
probe_perf:thread__find_map (on thread__find_map:60 in /home/acme/bin/perf)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe_perf:thread__find_map -aR sleep 1
#
Then used this to see if, system wide, those probe points were being hit:
# perf trace -e *perf:thread*/max-stack=8/
^C[root@jouet ~]#
No hits when running 'perf top' and:
# cat gtod.c

I added a 'perf probe' to thread__find_map:69, and that surely got tons
of hits, i.e. for every map found, just to make sure the 'perf probe'
command was really working.
In the process I noticed a bug, we're only have records for '[vdso]' for
pre-existing commands, i.e. ones that are running when we start 'perf top',
when we will generate the PERF_RECORD_MMAP by looking at /perf/PID/maps.
I.e. like this, for preexisting processes with a vdso map, again,
tracing for all the system, only pre-existing processes get a [vdso] map
(when having one):
[root@jouet ~]# perf probe -x ~/bin/perf __machine__addnew_vdso
Added new event:
probe_perf:__machine__addnew_vdso (on __machine__addnew_vdso in /home/acme/bin/perf)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe_perf:__machine__addnew_vdso -aR sleep 1
[root@jouet ~]# perf trace -e probe_perf:__machine__addnew_vdso/max-stack=8/
0.000 probe_perf:__machine__addnew_vdso:(568eb3)
__machine__addnew_vdso (/home/acme/bin/perf)
map__new (/home/acme/bin/perf)
machine__process_mmap2_event (/home/acme/bin/perf)
machine__process_event (/home/acme/bin/perf)
perf_event__process (/home/acme/bin/perf)
perf_tool__process_synth_event (/home/acme/bin/perf)
perf_event__synthesize_mmap_events (/home/acme/bin/perf)
__event__synthesize_thread (/home/acme/bin/perf)
The kernel is generating a PERF_RECORD_MMAP for vDSOs, but somehow
'perf top' is not getting those records while 'perf record' is:

So instead handle the case where we get invalid function names for
inlined frames and use a fallback '??' function name instead.
While this crash was originally reported by Hadrien for rust code, I can
now also reproduce it with trivial C++ code. Indeed, it seems like
libbfd fails to interpret the debug information for the inline frame
symbol name:
$ addr2line -e /home/milian/.debug/.build-id/f7/186d14bb94f3c6161c010926da66033d24fce5/elf -if b48

When a build is run from something like a cron job, the user's $PATH is
rather minimal, of note, not including /usr/sbin in my own case. Because
of that, an automated rpm package build ultimately fails to find
libperf-jvmti.so, because somewhere within the build, this happens...
/bin/sh: alternatives: command not found
/bin/sh: alternatives: command not found
Makefile.config:849: No openjdk development package found, please install
JDK package, e.g. openjdk-8-jdk, java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel
...and while the build continues, libperf-jvmti.so isn't built, and
things fall down when rpm tries to find all the %files specified. Exact
same system builds everything just fine when the job is launched from a
login shell instead of a cron job, since alternatives is in $PATH, so
openjdk is actually found.
The test required to get into this section of code actually specifies
the full path, as does a block just above it, so let's do that here too.

Michael reported that he could not stat following event:

event syntax error: '..e_1200mhz_cycles'
\___ value too big for format, maximum is 255
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events
The event is unwrapped into:
uncore_pcu/event=0xb,filter_band0=1200/
where filter_band0 format says it's one byte only:
# cat uncore_pcu/format/filter_band0
config1:0-7
while JSON files specifies bigger number:
"Filter": "filter_band0=1200",
all the filter_band* formats show 1 byte width:
# cat uncore_pcu/format/filter_band1
config1:8-15
# cat uncore_pcu/format/filter_band2
config1:16-23
# cat uncore_pcu/format/filter_band3
config1:24-31
The reason of the issue is that filter_band* values are supposed to be
in 100Mhz units.. it's stated in the JSON help for the events, like:
filter_band3=XXX, with XXX in 100Mhz units
This patch divides the filter_band* values by 100, plus there's couple
of changes that actually change the number completely, like:
- "Filter": "edge=1,filter_band2=4000",
+ "Filter": "edge=1,filter_band2=30",

This reverts commit ac0e2cd555.
Michael reported an issue with oversized terms values assignment
and I noticed there was actually a misunderstanding of the max
value check in the past.
The above commit's changelog says:
If bit 21 is set, there is parsing issues as below.
$ perf stat -a -e uncore_qpi_0/event=0x200002,umask=0x8/
event syntax error: '..pi_0/event=0x200002,umask=0x8/'
\___ value too big for format, maximum is 511
But there's no issue there, because the event value is distributed
along the value defined by the format. Even if the format defines
separated bit, the value is treated as a continual number, which
should follow the format definition.
In above case it's 9-bit value with last bit separated:
$ cat uncore_qpi_0/format/event
config:0-7,21
Hence the value 0x200002 is correctly reported as format violation,
because it exceeds 9 bits. It should have been 0x102 instead, which
sets the 9th bit - the bit 21 of the format.
$ perf stat -vv -a -e uncore_qpi_0/event=0x102,umask=0x8/

Currently we use two bits in the vcpu pending_exceptions bitmap to
indicate that an external interrupt is pending for the guest, one
for "one-shot" interrupts that are cleared when delivered, and one
for interrupts that persist until cleared by an explicit action of
the OS (e.g. an acknowledge to an interrupt controller). The
BOOK3S_IRQPRIO_EXTERNAL bit is used for one-shot interrupt requests
and BOOK3S_IRQPRIO_EXTERNAL_LEVEL is used for persisting interrupts.
In practice BOOK3S_IRQPRIO_EXTERNAL never gets used, because our
Book3S platforms generally, and pseries in particular, expect
external interrupt requests to persist until they are acknowledged
at the interrupt controller. That combined with the confusion
introduced by having two bits for what is essentially the same thing
makes it attractive to simplify things by only using one bit. This
patch does that.
With this patch there is only BOOK3S_IRQPRIO_EXTERNAL, and by default
it has the semantics of a persisting interrupt. In order to avoid
breaking the ABI, we introduce a new "external_oneshot" flag which
preserves the behaviour of the KVM_INTERRUPT ioctl with the
KVM_INTERRUPT_SET argument.

So that we reduce the difference of tools/include/linux/bitops.h to the
original kernel file, include/linux/bitops.h, trying to remove the need
to define BITS_PER_LONG, to avoid clashes with asm/bitsperlong.h.
And the things removed from tools/include/linux/bitops.h are really in
linux/bits.h, so that we can have a copy and then
tools/perf/check_headers.sh will tell us when new stuff gets added to
linux/bits.h so that we can check if it is useful and if any adjustment
needs to be done to the tools/{include,arch}/ copies.

Only use the mapped IP to find inline frames, but keep using the
unmapped IP for the callchain cursor. This ensures we properly show the
unmapped IP when displaying a frame we received via the
dso__parse_addr_inlines API for a module which does not contain
sufficient debug symbols to show the srcline.
