perf probe: Increase debug level of SDT debug messages

2016-09-29T14:17:02+00:00

Two SDT debug messages can occur for every DSO which is too noisy.
Consequently, increase debug level of SDT messages.

perf probe: Check for dup and fdopen failures

2016-08-15T20:06:19+00:00

dup and fdopen can potentially fail, so add some extra
error handling checks rather than assuming they always work.

perf probe: Allow wildcard for cached events

2016-07-14T02:09:07+00:00

Allo glob wildcard for reusing cached/SDT events. E.g.

  # perf probe -x /usr/lib64/libc-2.20.so -a %sdt_libc:\*

This example adds probes for all SDT in libc.
Note that the SDTs must have been scanned by perf buildid-cache.

Committer note:

Using it to check what of those SDT probes would take place when doing
a cargo run (rust):

  # trace --no-sys --event sdt_libc:* cargo run
     0.000 sdt_libc:setjmp:(7f326b69c4d1))
    28.423 sdt_libc:setjmp:(7f4b0a5364d1))
    29.000 sdt_libc:setjmp:(7f4b0a5364d1))
    88.597 sdt_libc:setjmp:(7fc01fd414d1))
    89.220 sdt_libc:setjmp:(7fc01fd414d1))
    95.501 sdt_libc:setjmp:(7f326b69c4d1))
     Running `target/debug/hello_world`
    97.110 sdt_libc:setjmp:(7f95e09234d1))
  Hello, world!

perf probe: Make --list show only available cached events

2016-07-14T02:09:05+00:00

Make "perf probe --cache --list" show only available cached events by
checking build-id validity.

E.g. without this patch:
  ----
  $ ./perf probe --cache --add oldevent=cmd_probe
  $ make #(to update ./perf)
  $ ./perf probe --cache --add newevent=cmd_probe
  $ ./perf probe --cache --list
  /home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux/tools/perf/perf (061e90539bac69
  probe_perf:newevent=cmd_probe
  /home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux/tools/perf/perf (c2e44d614e33e1
  probe_perf:oldevent=cmd_probe
  ----
It shows both of old and new events but user can not use old one.
With this;
  ----
  $ ./perf probe --cache -l
  /home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux/tools/perf/perf (061e90539bac69
  probe_perf:newevent=cmd_probe
  ----

This shows only new events which are on the existing binary.

perf probe: Accept %sdt and %cached event name

2016-07-14T02:09:05+00:00

To improve usability, support %[PROVIDER:]SDTEVENT format to add new
probes on SDT and cached events.

e.g.
  ----
  # perf probe -x /lib/libc-2.17.so  %lll_lock_wait_private
  Added new event:
    sdt_libc:lll_lock_wait_private (on %lll_lock_wait_private in /usr/lib/libc-2.17.so)

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

          perf record -e sdt_libc:lll_lock_wait_private -aR sleep 1

  # perf probe -l | more
    sdt_libc:lll_lock_wait_private (on __lll_lock_wait_private+21 in /usr/lib/libc-2.17.so)
  ----

Note that this is not only for SDT events, but also normal
events with event-name.

e.g. define "myevent" on cache (-n doesn't add the real probe)
  ----
  # perf probe -x ./perf --cache -n --add 'myevent=dso__load $params'
  ----
  Reuse the "myevent" from cache as below.
  ----
  # perf probe -x ./perf %myevent
  ----

perf tools: Add feature detection for gelf_getnote()

2016-07-12T18:20:41+00:00

That is not present on some libelf implementations, such as the one used
in Alpine Linux: libelf-0.8.13.

This ends up disabling the SDT code, that relies on this function.

One alternative would be to provide an weak fallback implementation or
the open coded variant used by the buildid sysfs notes reading code.
