lguest: fix occasional crash in example launcher.

2012-10-12T20:46:55+00:00

commit ca16f580a5db7e60bfafe59a50bb133bd3347491 upstream.

We usually got away with ->next on the final entry being NULL, but it
finally bit me.

kbuild: Fix gcc -x syntax

2012-10-12T20:46:52+00:00

commit b1e0d8b70fa31821ebca3965f2ef8619d7c5e316 upstream.

The correct syntax for gcc -x is "gcc -x assembler", not
"gcc -xassembler". Even though the latter happens to work, the former
is what is documented in the manual page and thus what gcc wrappers
such as icecream do expect.

This isn't a cosmetic change. The missing space prevents icecream from
recognizing compilation tasks it can't handle, leading to silent kernel
miscompilations.

Besides me, credits go to Michael Matz and Dirk Mueller for
investigating the miscompilation issue and tracking it down to this
incorrect -x parameter syntax.

tools/hv: Check for read/write errors

2012-10-07T15:35:53+00:00

commit 436473bc2173499ae274d0f50111d1e355006caf upstream.

hv_kvp_daemon currently does not check whether fread() or fwrite()
succeed.  Add the necessary checks.  Also, remove the incorrect use of
feof() before fread().

tools/hv: Fix exit() error code

2012-10-07T15:35:53+00:00

commit 6bb22fea25624ab593eee376fa5fb82d1b13f45a upstream.

Linux native exit codes are 8-bit unsigned values.  exit(-1) results
in an exit code of 255, which is usually reserved for shells reporting
'command not found'.  Use the portable value EXIT_FAILURE.  (Not that
this matters much for a daemon.)

perf kvm: Fix segfault with report and mixed guestmount use

2012-07-02T17:03:50+00:00

Using the guestmount option on record:
    $ perf kvm --guest --host --guestmount=/tmp/guest-mount record -ag

But not the subsequent report:
    $ perf kvm report

causes a SEGFAULT in the usual place:
(gdb) bt
0  0x0000000000470356 in machine__mmap_name (self=0x0, bf=0x7fffffffbdb0 " z\370\367\377\177", size=

...

The MMAP events in this case already contain the full path to the
module. No need to require it for the report path to.

perf kvm: Fix regression with guest machine creation

2012-07-02T14:08:17+00:00

Commit 743eb868657bdb1b26c7b24077ca21c67c82c777 reworked when the
machines were created. Prior to this commit guest machines could be
created in perf_event__process_kernel_mmap() while processing kernel
MMAP events. This commit assumes that the machines exist by the time
perf_session_deliver_event is called (e.g., during processing of build
id events) - which is not always correct.

One example is the use of default guest args (--guestkallsyms and
--guestmodules) for short times where no samples hit within a guest
module. For this case no build id is added to the file header. No build
id == no machine created. That leads to the next example -- the use of
no-buildid (-B) on the record for all perf-kvm invocations. In both
cases perf report dies with a SEGFAULT of the form:

(gdb) bt

Fix by allowing the machine to be created in perf_session_deliver_event.

Tested with --guestmount option and default guest args, with and without
-B arg on record for both and for short (10 seconds) and long (10
minutes) windows.

perf script: Fix format regression due to libtraceevent merge

2012-07-02T14:08:11+00:00

Consider the commands:
    perf record -e sched:sched_switch -fo /tmp/perf.data  -a -- sleep 1
    perf script -i /tmp/perf.data

In v3.4 the output has the form (lines wrapped here)
    perf 29214 [005] 821043.582596: sched_switch:
prev_comm=perf prev_pid=29214 prev_prio=120
prev_state=S ==> next_comm=swapper/5 next_pid=0 next_prio=120

In 3.5 that same line has become:
    perf 29214 [005] 821043.582596: sched_switch:
<...>-29214 [005]     0.000000000: sched_switch:
prev_comm=perf prev_pid=29214 prev_prio=120
prev_state=S ==> next_comm=swapper/5 next_pid=0 next_prio=120

Note the duplicates in the output -- pid, cpu, event name. With
this patch the v3.4 output is restored:
    perf 29214 [005] 821043.582596: sched_switch:
prev_comm=perf prev_pid=29214 prev_prio=120
prev_state=S ==> next_comm=swapper/5 next_pid=0 next_prio=120

v3:
Remove that pesky newline too. Output now matches v3.4 (pre-libtracevent).

v2:
Change print_trace_event function local to perf per Steve's comments.

perf tools: Fix synthesizing tracepoint names from the perf.data headers

2012-06-12T14:28:09+00:00

We need to use the per event info snapshoted at record time to
synthesize the events name, so do it just after reading the perf.data
headers, when we already processed the /sys events data, otherwise we'll
end up using the local /sys that only by sheer luck will have the same
tracepoint ID -> real event association.

Example:

  # uname -a
  Linux felicio.ghostprotocols.net 3.4.0-rc5+ #1 SMP Sat May 19 15:27:11 BRT 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
  # perf record -e sched:sched_switch usleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.015 MB perf.data (~648 samples) ]
  # cat /t/events/sched/sched_switch/id
  279
  # perf evlist -v
  sched:sched_switch: sample_freq=1, type: 2, config: 279, size: 80, sample_type: 1159, read_format: 7, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, enable_on_exec: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1
  #

So on the above machine the sched:sched_switch has tracepoint id 279, but on
the machine were we'll analyse it it has a different id:

  $ cat /t/events/sched/sched_switch/id
  56
  $ perf evlist -i /tmp/perf.data
  kmem:mm_balancedirty_writeout
  $ cat /t/events/kmem/mm_balancedirty_writeout/id
  279

With this fix:

  $ perf evlist -i /tmp/perf.data
  sched:sched_switch
