perf session: Fix infinite loop on invalid perf.data file

2013-10-04T18:17:46+00:00

perf-record updates the header in the perf.data file at termination.
Without this update perf-report (and other processing built-ins) it
caused an infinite loop when perf report (or something like) called.

This is because the algorithm in __perf_session__process_events()
depends on the data_size which is read from file header.  Use file size
directly instead in this case to do the best-effort processing.

perf tools: Fix installation of libexec components

2013-10-04T18:16:05+00:00

Doing a fresh install on a user home directory needs to first make sure
that the ~/libexec/perf-core/ directory is present so that
'perf-archive' like scripts, 'perf test' attr config files and 'perf
script' scripts can be installed.

perf probe: Fix to find line information for probe list

2013-10-04T18:16:05+00:00

Fix to find the correct (as much as possible) line information for
listing probes. Without this fix, perf probe --list action will show
incorrect line information as below;

  probe:getname_flags  (on getname_flags@ksrc/linux-3/fs/namei.c)
  probe:getname_flags_1 (on getname:-89@x86/include/asm/current.h)
  probe:getname_flags_2 (on user_path_at_empty:-2054@x86/include/asm/current.h)

The minus line number is obviously wrong, and current.h is not related
to the probe point. Deeper investigation discovered that there were 2
issues related to this bug, and minor typos too.

The 1st issue is the rack of considering about nested inlined functions,
which causes the wrong (relative) line number.

The 2nd issue is that the dwarf line info is not correct at those
points. It points 14th line of current.h.

Since it seems that the line info includes somewhat unreliable
information, this fixes perf to try to find correct line information
from both of debuginfo and line info as below.

1) Probe address is the entry of a function instance

  In this case, the line is set as the function declared line.

2) Probe address is the entry of an expanded inline function block

  In this case, the line is set as the function call-site line.
  This means that the line number is relative from the entry line
  of caller function (which can be an inlined function if nested)

3) Probe address is inside a function instance or an expanded
   inline function block

  In this case, perf probe queries the line number from lineinfo
  and verify the function declared file is same as the file name
  queried from lineinfo.

  If the file name is different, it is a failure case. The probe
  address is shown as symbol+offset.

4) Probe address is not in the any function instance

  This is a failure case, the probe address is shown as
  symbol+offset.

With this fix, perf probe -l shows correct probe lines as below;

  probe:getname_flags  (on getname_flags@ksrc/linux-3/fs/namei.c)
  probe:getname_flags_1 (on getname:2@ksrc/linux-3/fs/namei.c)
  probe:getname_flags_2 (on user_path_at_empty:4@ksrc/linux-3/fs/namei.c)

Changes at v2:
 - Fix typos in the function comments. (Thanks to Namhyung Kim)
 - Use die_find_top_inlinefunc instead of die_find_inlinefunc_next.

perf tools: Fix libaudit test

2013-10-04T18:16:05+00:00

In ubuntu systems the libaudit test was always failing due to the
newline in the printf call not being escaped, which somehow didn't
prevented the test from working as expected on other systems, such
as fedora18.

Fix it by removing the newline, as this is just a test, that program is
just a compile test.

The error messages, obtained using 'make V=1':

    CHK libaudit
: In function ‘main’:
:5:9: error: missing terminating " character [-Werror]
:5:2: error: missing terminating " character
:6:1: error: missing terminating " character [-Werror]
:6:1: error: missing terminating " character
:7:2: error: expected expression before ‘return’
:8:1: error: expected ‘;’ before ‘}’ token
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
config/Makefile:241: No libaudit.h found, disables 'trace' tool, please install audit-libs-devel or libaudit-dev

After this change the test works as expected in all systems tested and the
'trace' tool is built when the needed devel packages are installed.

Revert "perf symbols: Demangle cloned functions"

2013-09-29T14:12:54+00:00

This reverts commit de95ab53645a2f0015e0f68ee723f18dce2b8b51.

Markus Trippelsdorf reported that this commit broke 'perf top':

 > I just see a gray screen with no text at all. Sometimes the
 > following error messages are printed:
 >
 >  *** Error in `perf': invalid fastbin entry (free): 0x00000000029b18c0
 >  ***
 >  *** Error in `perf': malloc(): memory corruption (fast): 0x0000000000ee0b10 ***

While this code is fixable, the commit itself fails on several levels:

 - it should have been a separate helper function
 - why the heck does it do strchr() twice
 - it casts a const char * over into char *
 - sloppy style
 - it's not even a regression fix!

So lets revert it and re-try the patch in v3.13.

perf symbols: Demangle cloned functions

2013-09-25T15:58:21+00:00

The libbfd C++ demangler doesn't seem to deal with cloned functions,
like symbol.clone.NUM.

Just strip the dot part before demangling and add it back later.
