perf probe: Support probing on offline cross-arch binary

2016-09-01T15:41:09+00:00

Support probing on offline cross-architecture binary by adding getting
the target machine arch from ELF and choose correct register string for
the machine.

Here is an example:
  -----
  $ perf probe --vmlinux=./vmlinux-arm --definition 'do_sys_open $params'
  p:probe/do_sys_open do_sys_open+0 dfd=%r5:s32 filename=%r1:u32 flags=%r6:s32 mode=%r3:u16
  -----

Here, we can get probe/do_sys_open from above and append it to to the target
machine's tracing/kprobe_events file in the tracefs mountput, usually
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events (or /sys/kernel/tracing/kprobe_events).

perf dwarf: Fix potential array out of bounds access

2015-09-01T14:33:48+00:00

There is a problem in the dwarf-regs.c files for sh, sparc and x86 where
it is possible to make an out-of-bounds array access when searching for
register names.

This patch fixes it by replacing '<=' to '<', so when register (number
== XXX_MAX_REGS), get_arch_regstr() will return NULL.

perf build: Add arch x86 objects building

2015-02-12T16:12:01+00:00

Move the x86 arch objects building under build framework to be included
in the libperf build object.

Adding also arch/$(ARCH)/Build files for the rest of the archs. The
reason for this is that in arch/Build we now do:

  +libperf-y += $(ARCH)/

which would make the build to fail on other architectures, because the
build framework requires 'Build' file in nested directories and this
patch adds it only for x86.

perf tools: Fix build on non-glibc systems due to libio.h absence

2013-03-15T16:05:13+00:00

Including libio.h causes build failures on uClibc systems (which lack
libio.h).

It appears that libio.h was only included to pull in a definition for
NULL, so it has been replaced by stddef.h.

On powerpc, libio.h was conditionally included, but could be removed
completely as it is unneeded. Also, the included of stdlib.h was changed
to stddef.h (as again, only NULL is needed).

perf tools: Add DWARF register lookup for SH

2010-07-12T14:25:10+00:00

Implement get_arch_regstr() for SH so that, given a DWARF register number, the
corresponding symbolic name of that register can be looked up.
