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 kmem: Make it work again on non NUMA machines

2014-10-05T21:54:14+00:00

commit 4921e320244e099bdf237fd10428594ce5f5b87d upstream.

The commit '2814eb0 perf kmem: Remove die() calls' disabled 'perf kmem'
command for machines without numa support. It made the command fail if
'/sys/devices/system/node' dir wasn't found.

Skipping the numa based initialization in case the directory is not
found and continue execution.

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: Revert regression in configuration of Python support

2013-08-04T08:51:17+00:00

commit a363a9da65d253fa7354ce5fd630f4f94df934cc upstream.

Among other things, the following:

  commit 31160d7feab786c991780d7f0ce2755a469e0e5e
  Date:   Tue Jan 8 16:22:36 2013 -0500
  perf tools: Fix GNU make v3.80 compatibility issue

attempts to aid the user by tapping into an existing error message,
as described in the commit message:

  ... Also fix an issue where _get_attempt was called with only
  one argument. This prevented the error message from printing
  the name of the variable that can be used to fix the problem.

or more precisely:

  -$(if $($(1)),$(call _ge_attempt,$($(1)),$(1)),$(call _ge_attempt,$(2)))
  +$(if $($(1)),$(call _ge_attempt,$($(1)),$(1)),$(call _ge_attempt,$(2),$(1)))

However, The "missing" argument was in fact missing on purpose; it's
absence is a signal that the error message should be skipped, because
the failure would be due to the default value, not any user-supplied
value.  This can be seen in how `_ge_attempt' uses `gea_err' (in the
config/utilities.mak file):

  _ge_attempt = $(if $(get-executable),$(get-executable),$(_gea_warn)$(call _gea_err,$(2)))
  _gea_warn = $(warning The path '$(1)' is not executable.)
  _gea_err  = $(if $(1),$(error Please set '$(1)' appropriately))

That is, because the argument is no longer missing, the value `$(1)'
(associated with `_gea_err') always evaluates to true, thus always
triggering the error condition that is meant to be reserved for
only the case when a user explicitly supplies an invalid value.

Concretely, the result is a regression in the Makefile's configuration
of python support; rather than gracefully disable support when the
relevant executables cannot be found according to default values, the
build process halts in error as though the user explicitly supplied
the values.

This new commit simply reverts the offending one-line change.
