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 tools: Configurable per thread proc map processing time out

2015-06-19T21:27:13+00:00

The time out to limit the individual proc map processing was hard code
to 500ms. This patch introduce a new option --proc-map-timeout to make
the time limit configurable.

perf machine: Protect the machine->threads with a rwlock

2015-05-08T19:19:27+00:00

In addition to using refcounts for the struct thread lifetime
management, we need to protect access to machine->threads from
concurrent access.

That happens in 'perf top', where a thread processes events, inserting
and deleting entries from that rb_tree while another thread decays
hist_entries, that end up dropping references and ultimately deleting
threads from the rb_tree and releasing its resources when no further
hist_entry (or other data structures, like in 'perf sched') references
it.

So the rule is the same for refcounts + protected trees in the kernel,
get the tree lock, find object, bump the refcount, drop the tree lock,
return, use object, drop the refcount if no more use of it is needed,
keep it if storing it in some other data structure, drop when releasing
that data structure.

I.e. pair "t = machine__find(new)_thread()" with a "thread__put(t)", and
"perf_event__preprocess_sample(&al)" with "addr_location__put(&al)".

The addr_location__put() one is because as we return references to
several data structures, we may end up adding more reference counting
for the other data structures and then we'll drop it at
addr_location__put() time.

perf test: Fix dwarf unwind using libunwind.

2015-01-16T20:49:29+00:00

Perf tool fails to unwind user stack if the event raises in a shared
object. This patch improves tests/dwarf-unwind.c to demonstrate the
problem by utilizing commonly used glibc function "bsearch". If perf is
not statically linked, the testcase will try to unwind a mixed call
trace.

By debugging libunwind I found that there is a bug in unwind-libunwind:
it always passes 0 as segbase to libunwind, cause libunwind unable to
locate debug_frame entry fir first level ip address (I add some more
debugging output into libunwind to make things clear):

               >_Uarm_dwarf_find_debug_frame: start_ip = 10be98, end_ip = 10c2a4
               >_Uarm_dwarf_find_debug_frame: found debug_frame table `/lib/libc-2.18.so': segbase=0x0, len=7, gp=0x0, table_data=0x449388
               >_Uarm_dwarf_search_unwind_table: call lookup:ip = b6cd3bcc, segbase = 0, rel_ip = b6cd3bcc
               >lookup: e->start_ip_offset = bcf18 (rel_ip = b6cd3bcc)
               >lookup: e->start_ip_offset = 6d314 (rel_ip = b6cd3bcc)
               >lookup: e->start_ip_offset = 33d0c (rel_ip = b6cd3bcc)
                ...
               >lookup: e->start_ip_offset = 15d0c (rel_ip = b6cd3bcc)
               >lookup: e->start_ip_offset = 15c40 (rel_ip = b6cd3bcc)
 >_Uarm_dwarf_search_unwind_table: IP b6cd3bcc inside range b6c12000-b6d4c000, but no explicit unwind info found
                >put_rs_cache: unmasking signals/interrupts and releasing lock
               >_Uarm_dwarf_step: returning -10
 >_Uarm_step: dwarf_step()=-10

This patch passes map->start as segbase to dwarf_find_debug_frame(), so
di will be initialized correctly.

In addition, dso and executable are different when setting segbase. This
patch first check whether the elf is executable, and pass segbase only
for shared object.

perf callchains: Use thread->mg->machine

2014-10-29T12:32:46+00:00

The unwind__get_entries() already receives the thread parameter, from where it can
obtain the matching machine structure, shorten the signature.

perf report: Set callchain_param.record_mode for future use

2014-10-15T19:20:03+00:00

Normally the callchain_param.record_mode is used only for record path.
But as it might need to prepare something for dwarf unwinding, setup
this info for perf report too.

Revert "perf: Disable PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 support"

2014-06-09T11:34:46+00:00

This reverts commit 3090ffb5a2515990182f3f55b0688a7817325488.

Re-enable the mmap2 interface as we will have a user soon.

Since things have changed since perf disabled mmap2, small tweaks
to the revert had to be done:

o commit 9d4ecc88 forced (n!=8) to become (n<7)
o a new libunwind test needed updating to use mmap2 interface

Forcing the code to always search thread by pid/tid pair.

The PID value will be needed in future to determine the process thread

perf callchain: Add mask into struct regs_dump

2014-02-18T12:34:48+00:00

Adding mask info into struct regs_dump to make the registers information
compact.

The mask was always passed along, so logically the mask info fits more
into the struct regs_dump.
