perf probe: Fix to probe on gcc generated functions in modules

2017-01-16T18:43:04+00:00

Fix to probe on gcc generated functions on modules. Since
probing on a module is based on its symbol name, it should
be adjusted on actual symbols.

E.g. without this fix, perf probe shows probe definition
on non-exist symbol as below.

  $ perf probe -m build-x86_64/net/netfilter/nf_nat.ko -F in_range*
  in_range.isra.12
  $ perf probe -m build-x86_64/net/netfilter/nf_nat.ko -D in_range
  p:probe/in_range nf_nat:in_range+0

With this fix, perf probe correctly shows a probe on
gcc-generated symbol.

  $ perf probe -m build-x86_64/net/netfilter/nf_nat.ko -D in_range
  p:probe/in_range nf_nat:in_range.isra.12+0

This also fixes same problem on online module as below.

  $ perf probe -m i915 -D assert_plane
  p:probe/assert_plane i915:assert_plane.constprop.134+0

perf probe: Add error checks to offline probe post-processing

2017-01-16T18:35:25+00:00

Add error check codes on post processing and improve it for offline
probe events as:

 - post processing fails if no matched symbol found in map(-ENOENT)
   or strdup() failed(-ENOMEM).

 - Even if the symbol name is the same, it updates symbol address
   and offset.

perf probe: Fix to probe on gcc generated symbols for offline kernel

2017-01-04T14:44:22+00:00

Fix perf-probe to show probe definition on gcc generated symbols for
offline kernel (including cross-arch kernel image).

gcc sometimes optimizes functions and generate new symbols with suffixes
such as ".constprop.N" or ".isra.N" etc. Since those symbol names are
not recorded in DWARF, we have to find correct generated symbols from
offline ELF binary to probe on it (kallsyms doesn't correct it).  For
online kernel or uprobes we don't need it because those are rebased on
_text, or a section relative address.

E.g. Without this:

  $ perf probe -k build-arm/vmlinux -F __slab_alloc*
  __slab_alloc.constprop.9
  $ perf probe -k build-arm/vmlinux -D __slab_alloc
  p:probe/__slab_alloc __slab_alloc+0

If you put above definition on target machine, it should fail
because there is no __slab_alloc in kallsyms.

With this fix, perf probe shows correct probe definition on
__slab_alloc.constprop.9:

  $ perf probe -k build-arm/vmlinux -D __slab_alloc
  p:probe/__slab_alloc __slab_alloc.constprop.9+0

perf probe: Fix --funcs to show correct symbols for offline module

2017-01-04T14:15:09+00:00

Fix --funcs (-F) option to show correct symbols for offline module.
Since previous perf-probe uses machine__findnew_module_map() for offline
module, even if user passes a module file (with full path) which is for
other architecture, perf-probe always tries to load symbol map for
current kernel module.

This fix uses dso__new_map() to load the map from given binary as same
as a map for user applications.

perf probe: Fix to get correct modname from elf header

2017-01-02T17:09:17+00:00

Since 'perf probe' supports cross-arch probes, it is possible to analyze
different arch kernel image which has different bits-per-long.

In that case, it fails to get the module name because it uses the
MOD_NAME_OFFSET macro based on the host machine bits-per-long, instead
of the target arch bits-per-long.

This fixes above issue by changing modname-offset based on the target
archs bit width. This is ok because linux kernel uses LP64 model on
64bit arch.

E.g. without this (on x86_64, and target module is arm32):

  $ perf probe -m build-arm/fs/configfs/configfs.ko -D configfs_lookup
  p:probe/configfs_lookup :configfs_lookup+0
                          ^-Here is an empty module name.

With this fix, you can see correct module name:

  $ perf probe -m build-arm/fs/configfs/configfs.ko -D configfs_lookup
  p:probe/configfs_lookup configfs:configfs_lookup+0

perf probe: Check if *ptr2 is zero and not ptr2

Static anaylsis with cppcheck[1] detected an incorrect comparison:
[tools/perf/util/probe-event.c:216]: (warning) Char literal compared
with pointer 'ptr2'. Did you intend to dereference it?

Dereference ptr2 for the comparison to fix this.

perf probe: Fix to cut off incompatible chars from group name

2016-09-29T14:17:08+00:00

Cut off the characters which can not use for group name of uprobes
when making it based on executable filename.

For example, if the exec name is libstdc++.so, without this fix
perf probe generates "probe_libstdc++" as the group name, but
it is failed to set because '+' can not be used for group name.

With this fix perf accepts only alphabet, number or '_' for group
name, thus perf generates "probe_libstdc" as the group name.

E.g. with this fix, you can see the event name has no "+".

Committer note:

Before this fix:

  # perf probe -x /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 is_open
  Failed to write event: Invalid argument
    Error: Failed to add events.
  #

After the fix:

  # perf probe -x /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 is_open
  Added new events:
    probe_libstdc:is_open (on is_open in /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.22)
    probe_libstdc:is_open_1 (on is_open in /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.22)
    probe_libstdc:is_open_2 (on is_open in /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.22)
    probe_libstdc:is_open_3 (on is_open in /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.22)
    probe_libstdc:is_open_4 (on is_open in /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.22)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

	  perf record -e probe_libstdc:is_open_4 -aR sleep 1

  # perf probe -l probe_libstdc:*
    probe_libstdc:is_open (on is_open@libstdc++-v3/include/fstream in /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.22)
    probe_libstdc:is_open_1 (on is_open@libstdc++-v3/include/fstream in /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.22)
    probe_libstdc:is_open_2 (on is_open@libstdc++-v3/include/fstream in /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.22)
    probe_libstdc:is_open_3 (on is_open@src/c++98/basic_file.cc in /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.22)

perf probe: Add helper function to check if probe with variable

2016-09-01T15:42:25+00:00

Introduce helper function instead of inline code and replace hardcoded
strings "$vars" and "$params" with their corresponding macros.

perf_probe_with_var() is not declared as static since it will be called
from different file in subsequent patch.

perf probe: Ignore vmlinux buildid if offline kernel is given

2016-09-01T12:44:14+00:00

Ignore the buildid of running kernel when both of --definition and
--vmlinux is given because that kernel should be off-line.

This also skips post-processing of kprobe event for relocating symbol
and checking blacklist, because it can not be done on off-line kernel.

E.g. without this fix perf shows an error as below
  ----
  $ perf probe --vmlinux=./vmlinux-arm --definition do_sys_open
  ./vmlinux-arm with build id 7a1f76dd56e9c4da707cd3d6333f50748141434b not found, continuing without symbols
  Failed to find symbol do_sys_open in kernel
    Error: Failed to add events.
  ----
with this fix, we can get the definition
  ----
  $ perf probe --vmlinux=./vmlinux-arm --definition do_sys_open
  p:probe/do_sys_open do_sys_open+0
