perf probe: Fix dwarf regs table for x86_64

2016-09-12T13:37:07+00:00

In 293d5b439483 ("perf probe: Support probing on offline cross-arch binary")
DWARF register tables were introduced for many architectures, with the one for
the "dx" register being broken for x86_64, which got noticed by the 'perf test
bpf' testcase, that has this difference from a successful run to one that
fails, with the aforementioned patch:

  -Writing event: p:perf_bpf_probe/func _text+5197232 f_mode=+68(%di):x32 offset=%si:s64 orig=dx:s32
  -Failed to write event: Invalid argument
  -bpf_probe: failed to apply perf probe eventsFailed to add events selected by BPF
  +Writing event: p:perf_bpf_probe/func _text+5197232 f_mode=+68(%di):x32 offset=%si:s64 orig=%dx:s32

Add the missing '%' to '%dx' to fix this.

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 tests: Pass the subtest index to each test routine

2015-11-19T16:19:15+00:00

Some tests have sub-tests we want to run, so allow passing this.

Wang tried to avoid having to touch all tests, but then, having the
test.func in an anonymous union makes the build fail on older compilers,
like the one in RHEL6, where:

  test a = {
	.func = foo,
  };

fails.

To fix it leave the func pointer in the main structure and pass the subtest
index to all tests, end result function is the same, but we have just one
function pointer, not two, with and without the subtest index as an argument.

perf tests: Add Intel CQM test

2015-10-05T19:56:07+00:00

Peter reports that it's possible to trigger a WARN_ON_ONCE() in the
Intel CQM code by combining a hardware event and an Intel CQM
(software) event into a group. Unfortunately, the perf tools are not
able to create this bundle and we need to manually construct a test
case.

For posterity, record Peter's proof of concept test case in tools/perf
so that it presents a model for how we can perform architecture
specific tests, or "arch tests", in perf in the future.

The particular issue triggered in the test case is that when the
counter for the hardware event overflows and triggers a PMI we'll read
both the hardware event and the software event counters.
Unfortunately, for CQM that involves performing an IPI to read the CQM
event counters on all sockets, which in NMI context triggers the
WARN_ON_ONCE().

perf tests: Move x86 tests into arch directory

2015-10-05T19:55:43+00:00

Move out the x86-specific tests into tools/perf/arch/x86/tests and
define an 'arch_tests' array, which is the list of tests that only apply
to the build architecture.

We can also now begin to get rid of some of the #ifdef code that is
present in the generic perf tests.

perf tests: Add arch tests

2015-10-05T19:55:38+00:00

Tests that only make sense for some architectures currently live in
the same place as the generic tests. Move out the x86-specific tests
into tools/perf/arch/x86/tests and define an 'arch_tests' array, which
is the list of tests that only apply to the build architecture.

The main idea is to encourage developers to add arch tests to build
out perf's test coverage, without dumping everything in
tools/perf/tests.

perf tests x86: Add dwarf unwind test

2014-02-18T12:34:47+00:00

Adding dwarf unwind test, that setups live machine data over the perf
test thread and does the remote unwind.

At this moment this test fails due to bug in the max_stack processing in
unwind__get_entries function.  This is fixed in following patch.

Need to use -fno-optimize-sibling-calls for test compilation, otherwise
'krava_*' function calls are optimized into jumps and ommited from the
stack unwind.

So far it's enabled only for x86.

perf tests x86: Introduce perf_regs_load function

2014-02-18T12:34:47+00:00

Introducing perf_regs_load function, which is going to be used for dwarf
unwind test in following patches.

It takes single argument as a pointer to the regs dump buffer and
populates it with current registers values.
