perf callchain: Reference count maps

2017-02-02T14:39:09+00:00

If dso__load_kcore frees all of the existing maps, but one has already
been attached to a callchain cursor node, then we can get a SIGSEGV in
any function that happens to try to use this invalid cursor.  Use the
existing map refcount mechanism to forestall cleanup of a map until the
cursor iterates past the node.

perf diff: Fix -o/--order option behavior (again)

2017-02-02T14:39:09+00:00

Commit 21e6d8428664 ("perf diff: Use perf_hpp__register_sort_field
interface") changed list_add() to perf_hpp__register_sort_field().

This resulted in a behavior change since the field was added to the tail
instead of the head.  So the -o option is mostly ignored due to its
order in the list.

This patch fixes it by adding perf_hpp__prepend_sort_field().

perf diff: Fix segfault on 'perf diff -o N' option

2017-02-02T14:39:04+00:00

The -o/--order option is to select column number to sort a diff result.

It does the job by adding a hpp field at the beginning of the sort list.
But it should not be added to the output field list as it has no
callbacks required by a output field.

During the setup_sorting(), the perf_hpp__setup_output_field() appends
the given sort keys to the output field if it's not there already.

Originally it was checked by fmt->list being non-empty.  But commit
3f931f2c4274 ("perf hists: Make hpp setup function generic") changed it
to check the ->equal callback.

Anyways, we don't need to add the pseudo hpp field to the output field
list since it won't be used for output.  So just skip fields if they
have no ->color or ->entry callbacks.

perf probe: Fix to probe on gcc generated functions in modules

2017-01-16T18:43:04+00:00

Fix to probe on gcc generated functions on modules. Since
probing on a module is based on its symbol name, it should
be adjusted on actual symbols.

E.g. without this fix, perf probe shows probe definition
on non-exist symbol as below.

  $ perf probe -m build-x86_64/net/netfilter/nf_nat.ko -F in_range*
  in_range.isra.12
  $ perf probe -m build-x86_64/net/netfilter/nf_nat.ko -D in_range
  p:probe/in_range nf_nat:in_range+0

With this fix, perf probe correctly shows a probe on
gcc-generated symbol.

  $ perf probe -m build-x86_64/net/netfilter/nf_nat.ko -D in_range
  p:probe/in_range nf_nat:in_range.isra.12+0

This also fixes same problem on online module as below.

  $ perf probe -m i915 -D assert_plane
  p:probe/assert_plane i915:assert_plane.constprop.134+0

perf probe: Add error checks to offline probe post-processing

2017-01-16T18:35:25+00:00

Add error check codes on post processing and improve it for offline
probe events as:

 - post processing fails if no matched symbol found in map(-ENOENT)
   or strdup() failed(-ENOMEM).

 - Even if the symbol name is the same, it updates symbol address
   and offset.

perf probe: Fix to show correct locations for events on modules

2017-01-16T18:14:06+00:00

Fix to show correct locations for events on modules by relocating given
address instead of retrying after failure.

This happens when the module text size is big enough, bigger than
sh_addr, because the original code retries with given address + sh_addr
if it failed to find CU DIE at the given address.

Any address smaller than sh_addr always fails and it retries with the
correct address, but addresses bigger than sh_addr will get a CU DIE
which is on the given address (not adjusted by sh_addr).

In my environment(x86-64), the sh_addr of ".text" section is 0x10030.
Since i915 is a huge kernel module, we can see this issue as below.

  $ grep "[Tt] .*\[i915\]" /proc/kallsyms | sort | head -n1
  ffffffffc0270000 t i915_switcheroo_can_switch	[i915]

ffffffffc0270000 + 0x10030 = ffffffffc0280030, so we'll check
symbols cross this boundary.

  $ grep "[Tt] .*\[i915\]" /proc/kallsyms | grep -B1 ^ffffffffc028\
  | head -n 2
  ffffffffc027ff80 t haswell_init_clock_gating	[i915]
  ffffffffc0280110 t valleyview_init_clock_gating	[i915]

So setup probes on both function and see what happen.

  $ sudo ./perf probe -m i915 -a haswell_init_clock_gating \
        -a valleyview_init_clock_gating
  Added new events:
    probe:haswell_init_clock_gating (on haswell_init_clock_gating in i915)
    probe:valleyview_init_clock_gating (on valleyview_init_clock_gating in i915)

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

  	perf record -e probe:valleyview_init_clock_gating -aR sleep 1

  $ sudo ./perf probe -l
    probe:haswell_init_clock_gating (on haswell_init_clock_gating@gpu/drm/i915/intel_pm.c in i915)
    probe:valleyview_init_clock_gating (on i915_vga_set_decode:4@gpu/drm/i915/i915_drv.c in i915)

As you can see, haswell_init_clock_gating is correctly shown,
but valleyview_init_clock_gating is not.

With this patch, both events are shown correctly.

  $ sudo ./perf probe -l
    probe:haswell_init_clock_gating (on haswell_init_clock_gating@gpu/drm/i915/intel_pm.c in i915)
    probe:valleyview_init_clock_gating (on valleyview_init_clock_gating@gpu/drm/i915/intel_pm.c in i915)

Committer notes:

In my case:

  # perf probe -m i915 -a haswell_init_clock_gating -a valleyview_init_clock_gating
  Added new events:
    probe:haswell_init_clock_gating (on haswell_init_clock_gating in i915)
    probe:valleyview_init_clock_gating (on valleyview_init_clock_gating in i915)

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

	  perf record -e probe:valleyview_init_clock_gating -aR sleep 1

  # perf probe -l
    probe:haswell_init_clock_gating (on i915_getparam+432@gpu/drm/i915/i915_drv.c in i915)
    probe:valleyview_init_clock_gating (on __i915_printk+240@gpu/drm/i915/i915_drv.c in i915)
  #

  # readelf -SW /lib/modules/4.9.0+/build/vmlinux | egrep -w '.text|Name'
   [Nr] Name   Type      Address          Off    Size   ES Flg Lk Inf Al
   [ 1] .text  PROGBITS  ffffffff81000000 200000 822fd3 00  AX  0   0 4096
  #

  So both are b0rked, now with the fix:

  # perf probe -m i915 -a haswell_init_clock_gating -a valleyview_init_clock_gating
  Added new events:
    probe:haswell_init_clock_gating (on haswell_init_clock_gating in i915)
    probe:valleyview_init_clock_gating (on valleyview_init_clock_gating in i915)

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

	perf record -e probe:valleyview_init_clock_gating -aR sleep 1

  # perf probe -l
    probe:haswell_init_clock_gating (on haswell_init_clock_gating@gpu/drm/i915/intel_pm.c in i915)
    probe:valleyview_init_clock_gating (on valleyview_init_clock_gating@gpu/drm/i915/intel_pm.c in i915)
  #

Both looks correct.

mm: get rid of __GFP_OTHER_NODE

2017-01-11T02:31:55+00:00

The flag was introduced by commit 78afd5612deb ("mm: add
__GFP_OTHER_NODE flag") to allow proper accounting of remote node
allocations done by kernel daemons on behalf of a process - e.g.
khugepaged.

After "mm: fix remote numa hits statistics" we do not need and actually
use the flag so we can safely remove it because all allocations which
are satisfied from their "home" node are accounted properly.
