perf session: Do not fail on processing out of order event

2015-01-16T14:59:03+00:00

commit f61ff6c06dc8f32c7036013ad802c899ec590607 upstream.

Linus reported perf report command being interrupted due to processing
of 'out of order' event, with following error:

  Timestamp below last timeslice flush
  0x5733a8 [0x28]: failed to process type: 3

I could reproduce the issue and in my case it was caused by one CPU
(mmap) being behind during record and userspace mmap reader seeing the
data after other CPUs data were already stored.

This is expected under some circumstances because we need to limit the
number of events that we queue for reordering when we receive a
PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND or when we force flush due to memory
pressure.

[zhangzhiqiang: backport to 3.10:
 - adjust context
 - commit f61ff6c06d struct events_stats was defined in tools/perf/util/event.h
   while 3.10 stable defined in tools/perf/util/hist.h.
 - 3.10 stable there is no pr_oe_time() which used for debug.
 - After the above adjustments, becomes same to the original patch:

perf kvm: Fix kvm report without guestmount.

2014-02-06T19:08:15+00:00

commit ad85ace07a05062ef6b59c35a5e80b6eaee1eee6 upstream.

Currently, if we use perf kvm --guestkallsyms --guestmodules report, we
can not get the perf information from perf data file. All sample are
shown as unknown.

Reproducing steps:
	# perf kvm --guestkallsyms /tmp/kallsyms --guestmodules /tmp/modules record -a sleep 1
	[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
	[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.624 MB perf.data.guest (~27260 samples) ]
	# perf kvm --guestkallsyms /tmp/kallsyms --guestmodules /tmp/modules report |grep %
	   100.00%  [guest/6471]  [unknown]         [g] 0xffffffff8164f330

This bug was introduced by 207b57926 (perf kvm: Fix regression with guest machine creation).
In original code, it uses perf_session__find_machine(), it means we deliver symbol to machine
which has the same pid, if no machine found, deliver it to *default* guest. But if we use
perf_session__findnew_machine() here, if no machine was found, new machine with pid will be built
and added. Then the default guest which with pid == 0 will never get a symbol.

And because the new machine initialized here has no kernel map created, the symbol delivered to
it will be marked as "unknown".

This patch here is to revert commit 207b57926 and fix the SEGFAULT bug in another way.

Verification steps:
	# ./perf kvm --guestkallsyms /home/kallsyms --guestmodules /home/modules record -a sleep 1
	[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
	[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.651 MB perf.data.guest (~28437 samples) ]
	# ./perf kvm --guestkallsyms /home/kallsyms --guestmodules /home/modules report |grep %
	    22.64%    :6471  [guest.kernel.kallsyms]  [g] update_rq_clock.part.70
	    19.99%    :6471  [guest.kernel.kallsyms]  [g] d_free

perf tools: Remove cast of non-variadic function to variadic

2013-12-04T18:55:49+00:00

commit 53805eca3d89b095062c11a6798689bb0af09216 upstream.

The 4fb71074a570 (perf ui/hist: Consolidate hpp helpers) cset introduced
a cast of percent_color_snprintf to a function pointer type with
varargs.  Change percent_color_snprintf to be variadic and remove the
cast.

The symptom of this was all percentages being reported as 0.00% in perf
report --stdio output on the armhf arch.

perf tools: Remove dependency on libnewt

2013-04-01T15:23:21+00:00

Now that the map browser shares the input routine with the hists
browser, there is no need for using any libnewt routine, so remove all
traces except for honouring NO_NEWT=1 on the makefile command line as an
indication that TUI support is not needed, in fact it just sets
NO_SLANG=1.

perf tools: Fix output of symbol_daddr offset

2013-04-01T15:22:15+00:00

The symbol addresses in a dso have relative offsets from the start of a
mapping.  So in order to ouput correct offset value from @ip, one of
them should be converted.

perf tools: Add new mem command for memory access profiling

2013-04-01T15:21:44+00:00

This new command is a wrapper on top of perf record and perf report to
make it easier to configure for memory access profiling.

To record loads:
$ perf mem -t load rec .....

To record stores:
$ perf mem -t store rec .....

To get the report:
$ perf mem -t load rep
