perf script: Fix error when printing 'weight' field

2022-02-23T00:17:55+00:00

In SPE traces the 'weight' field can't be printed in 'perf script'
because the 'dummy:u' event doesn't have the WEIGHT attribute set.

Use evsel__do_check_stype(..) to check this field, as it's done with
other fields such as "phys_addr".

Before:

  $ perf record -e arm_spe_0// -- sleep 1
  $ perf script -F event,ip,weight
  Samples for 'dummy:u' event do not have WEIGHT attribute set. Cannot print 'weight' field.

After:

  $ perf script -F event,ip,weight
     l1d-access:               12 ffffaf629d4cb320
     tlb-access:               12 ffffaf629d4cb320

perf data: Fix double free in perf_session__delete()

2022-02-22T20:34:16+00:00

When perf_data__create_dir() fails, it calls close_dir(), but
perf_session__delete() also calls close_dir() and since dir.version and
dir.nr were initialized by perf_data__create_dir(), a double free occurs.

This patch moves the initialization of dir.version and dir.nr after
successful initialization of dir.files, that prevents double freeing.
This behavior is already implemented in perf_data__open_dir().

perf evlist: Fix failed to use cpu list for uncore events

2022-02-18T12:59:26+00:00

The 'perf record' and 'perf stat' commands have supported the option
'-C/--cpus' to count or collect only on the list of CPUs provided.

Commit 1d3351e631fc34d7 ("perf tools: Enable on a list of CPUs for
hybrid") add it to be supported for hybrid. For hybrid support, it
checks the cpu list are available on hybrid PMU. But when we test only
uncore events(or events not in cpu_core and cpu_atom), there is a bug:

Before:

 # perf stat -C0  -e uncore_clock/clockticks/ sleep 1
   failed to use cpu list 0

In this case, for uncore event, its pmu_name is not cpu_core or
cpu_atom, so in evlist__fix_hybrid_cpus, perf_pmu__find_hybrid_pmu
should return NULL,both events_nr and unmatched_count should be 0 ,then
the cpu list check function evlist__fix_hybrid_cpus return -1 and the
error "failed to use cpu list 0" will happen. Bypass "events_nr=0" case
then the issue is fixed.

After:

 # perf stat -C0  -e uncore_clock/clockticks/ sleep 1

 Performance counter stats for 'CPU(s) 0':

       195,476,873      uncore_clock/clockticks/

       1.004518677 seconds time elapsed

When testing with at least one core event and uncore events, it has no
issue.

 # perf stat -C0  -e cpu_core/cpu-cycles/,uncore_clock/clockticks/ sleep 1

 Performance counter stats for 'CPU(s) 0':

         5,993,774      cpu_core/cpu-cycles/
       301,025,912      uncore_clock/clockticks/

       1.003964934 seconds time elapsed

perf test: Skip failing sigtrap test for arm+aarch64

2022-02-18T12:54:50+00:00

Skip the Sigtrap test for arm + arm64, same as was done for s390 in
commit a840974e96fd ("perf test: Test 73 Sig_trap fails on s390"). For
this, reuse BP_SIGNAL_IS_SUPPORTED - meaning that the arch can use BP to
generate signals - instead of BP_ACCOUNT_IS_SUPPORTED, which is
appropriate.

As described by Will at [0], in the test we get stuck in a loop of
handling the HW breakpoint exception and never making progress. GDB
handles this by stepping over the faulting instruction, but with perf
the kernel is expected to handle the step (which it doesn't for arm).

Dmitry made an attempt to get this work, also mentioned in the same
thread as [0], which was appreciated. But the best thing to do is skip
the test for now.

perf test: Fix arm64 perf_event_attr tests wrt --call-graph initialization

perf cs-etm: Fix corrupt inject files when only last branch option is enabled

2022-02-16T16:49:25+00:00

'perf inject' with Coresight data generates files that cannot be opened
when only the last branch option is specified:

  perf inject -i perf.data --itrace=l -o inject.data
  perf script -i inject.data
  0x33faa8 [0x8]: failed to process type: 9 [Bad address]

This is because cs_etm__synth_instruction_sample() is called even when
the sample type for instructions hasn't been setup. Last branch records
are attached to instruction samples so it doesn't make sense to generate
them when --itrace=i isn't specified anyway.

This change disables all calls of cs_etm__synth_instruction_sample()
unless --itrace=i is specified, resulting in a file with no samples if
only --itrace=l is provided, rather than a bad file.

perf cs-etm: No-op refactor of synth opt usage

2022-02-16T16:49:25+00:00

sample_branches and sample_instructions are already saved in the
synth_opts struct. Other usages like synth_opts.last_branch don't save a
value, so make this more consistent by always going through synth_opts
and not saving duplicate values.

perf trace: Avoid early exit due SIGCHLD from non-workload processes

2022-02-16T16:47:12+00:00

The function trace__symbols_init() runs "perf-read-vdso32" and that ends up
with a SIGCHLD delivered to 'perf'. And this SIGCHLD make perf exit early.

'perf trace' should exit only if the SIGCHLD is from our workload process.
So let's use sigaction() instead of signal() to match such condition.

Committer notes:

Use memset to zero the 'struct sigaction' variable as the '= { 0 }'
method isn't accepted in many compiler versions, e.g.:
