perf bpf: Improve BPF related error messages

2015-11-06T20:14:20+00:00

A series of bpf loader related error codes were introduced to help error
reporting. Functions were improved to return these new error codes.

Functions which return pointers were adjusted to encode error codes into
return value using the ERR_PTR() interface.

bpf_loader_strerror() was improved to convert these error messages to
strings. It checks the error codes and calls libbpf_strerror() and
strerror_r() accordingly, so caller don't need to consider checking the
range of the error code.

In bpf__strerror_load(), print kernel version of running kernel and the
object's 'version' section to notify user how to fix his/her program.

v1 -> v2:
 Use macro for error code.

 Fetch error message based on array index, eliminate for-loop.

 Print version strings.

Before:

  # perf record -e ./test_kversion_nomatch_program.o sleep 1
  event syntax error: './test_kversion_nomatch_program.o'
                       \___ Failed to load program: Validate your program and check 'license'/'version' sections in your object
  SKIP

  After:

  # perf record -e ./test_kversion_nomatch_program.o ls
  event syntax error: './test_kversion_nomatch_program.o'
                       \___ 'version' (4.4.0) doesn't match running kernel (4.3.0)
  SKIP

perf tools: Make fetch_kernel_version() publicly available

2015-11-06T18:57:18+00:00

There are 2 places in llvm-utils.c which find kernel version information
through uname. This patch extracts the uname related code into a
fetch_kernel_version() function and puts it into util.h so it can be
reused.

perf test: Suppress libtraceevent warnings

2015-10-19T17:58:10+00:00

Currently libtraceevent emits warning on unsupported event formats.
However it'd be better to see them only -v option is given.  To do that,
it needs to override the warning() function which is used in the
libtracevent.  Thus add set_warning_routine() same as set_die_routine()
and check the verbose flag in our warning routine.

Before:
  # perf test 5
   5: parse events tests                                       :
    Warning: [kvmmmu:kvm_mmu_get_page] bad op token {
    Warning: [kvmmmu:kvm_mmu_sync_page] bad op token {
    Warning: [kvmmmu:kvm_mmu_unsync_page] bad op token {
    Warning: [kvmmmu:kvm_mmu_prepare_zap_page] bad op token {
    Warning: [kvmmmu:fast_page_fault] function is_writable_pte not defined
    ...
   Ok

After:
  # perf test 5
   5: parse events tests                                       : Ok

tools lib api fs: Move tracing_path interface into api/fs/tracing_path.c

2015-09-04T15:00:45+00:00

Moving tracing_path interface into api/fs/tracing_path.c out of util.c.
It seems generic enough to be used by others, and I couldn't think of
better place.

perf tools: Move tracing_path stuff under same namespace

2015-09-02T19:30:47+00:00

Renaming all functions touching tracing_path under same namespace. New
interface is:

  char tracing_path[];
  - tracing mount path

  char tracing_events_path[];
  - tracing mount/events path

  void tracing_path_set(const char *mountpoint);
  - setting directly tracing_path(_events), used by --debugfs-dir option

  const char *tracing_path_mount(void);
  - initial setup of tracing_(events)_path, called from perf.c
    mounts debugfs/tracefs if needed and possible

  char *get_tracing_file(const char *name);
  void put_tracing_file(char *file);
  - get/put tracing file path

perf tools: Always use non inlined file name for 'srcfile' sort key

2015-09-02T19:30:46+00:00

When profiling the kernel with the 'srcfile' sort key it's common to
"get stuck" in include. For example a lot of code uses current or other
inlines, so they get accounted to some random include file. This is not
very useful as a high level categorization.

For example just profiling the idle loop usually shows mostly inlines,
so you never see the actual cpuidle file.

This patch changes the 'srcfile' sort key to always unwind the inline
stack using BFD/DWARF. So we always account to the base function that
called the inline.

In a few cases include is still shown (for example for MSR accesses),
but that is because they get inlining expanded as part of assigning to a
global function pointer. For the majority it works fine though.

v2: Use simpler while loop. Add maximum iteration count.

perf tools: Add tracing_path and remove unneeded functions

2015-08-28T17:53:51+00:00

There's no need for find_tracing_dir, because perf already searches for
debugfs/tracefs mount on start and populate tracing_events_path.

Adding tracing_path to carry tracing dir string to be used in
get_tracing_file instead of calling find_tracing_dir.

perf tools: Support full source file paths for srcline

2015-08-10T14:58:05+00:00

For perf report/script srcline currently only the base file name of the
source file is printed. This is a good default because it usually fits
on the screen.

But in some cases we want to know the full file name, for example to
aggregate hits per file.

In the later case we need more than the base file name to resolve file
naming collisions: for example the kernel source has ~70 files named
"core.c"

It's also useful as input to post processing tools which want to point
to the right file.

Add a flag to allow full file name output.

Add an option to perf report/script to enable this option.
