perf tools: Handle JITed code in shared memory

2013-10-01T16:10:52Z

commit 89365e6c9ad4c0e090e4c6a4b67a3ce319381d89 upstream. Need to check for /dev/zero. Most likely more strings are missing too.

perf tools: Add anonymous huge page recognition

2013-08-15T05:57:08Z

commit d0528b5d71faf612014dd7672e44225c915344b2 upstream. Judging anonymous memory's vm_area_struct, perf_mmap_event's filename will be set to "//anon" indicating this vma belongs to anonymous memory. Once hugepage is used, vma's vm_file points to hugetlbfs. In this way, this vma will not be regarded as anonymous memory by is_anon_memory() in perf user space utility.

perf: net_dropmonitor: Fix symbol-relative addresses

2013-06-07T19:49:12Z

commit 5a1e99dd2028e00998d42029be86835d8ef4a46e upstream. The comparison between traced and symbol addresses is backwards: if the traced address doesn't exactly match a symbol (which we don't expect it to), we'll show the next symbol and the offset to it, whereas we should show the previous symbol and the offset from it.

perf: net_dropmonitor: Fix trace parameter order

2013-06-07T19:49:12Z

commit 140c3c6a2bcd2c31e2f7f5a8d59689724776c8e5 upstream. This works much better if we don't treat protocol numbers as addresses. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings Signed-off-by: David S. Miller Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

perf tools: Fix build with bison 2.3 and older.

2013-03-03T22:06:45Z

commit 85df3b3769222894e9692b383c7af124b7721086 upstream. The %name-prefix "prefix" syntax is not available on bison 2.3 and older. Substitute with the -p "prefix" command-line option for compatibility with older versions of bison. This patch fixes this build error with older versions of bison.

perf test: fix a build error on builtin-test

2012-12-17T18:37:46Z

commit 12f8f74b2a4d26c4facfa7ef99487cf0930f6ef7 upstream. Recently I build perf and get a build error on builtin-test.c. The error is as following: $ make CC perf.o CC builtin-test.o cc1: warnings being treated as errors builtin-test.c: In function ‘sched__get_first_possible_cpu’: builtin-test.c:977: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘CPU_ALLOC’ builtin-test.c:977: warning: nested extern declaration of ‘CPU_ALLOC’ builtin-test.c:977: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast builtin-test.c:978: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘CPU_ALLOC_SIZE’ builtin-test.c:978: warning: nested extern declaration of ‘CPU_ALLOC_SIZE’ builtin-test.c:979: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘CPU_ZERO_S’ builtin-test.c:979: warning: nested extern declaration of ‘CPU_ZERO_S’ builtin-test.c:982: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘CPU_FREE’ builtin-test.c:982: warning: nested extern declaration of ‘CPU_FREE’ builtin-test.c:992: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘CPU_ISSET_S’ builtin-test.c:992: warning: nested extern declaration of ‘CPU_ISSET_S’ builtin-test.c:998: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘CPU_CLR_S’ builtin-test.c:998: warning: nested extern declaration of ‘CPU_CLR_S’ make: *** [builtin-test.o] Error 1 This problem is introduced in 3e7c439a. CPU_ALLOC and related macros are missing in sched__get_first_possible_cpu function. In 54489c18, commiter mentioned that CPU_ALLOC has been removed. So CPU_ALLOC calls in this function are removed to let perf to be built.

kbuild: Fix gcc -x syntax

2012-10-12T20:38:37Z

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.

perf stat: handle ENXIO error for perf_event_open

2012-05-09T17:14:41Z

perf stat on PPC currently fails to run: $ perf stat -- sleep 1 Error: open_counter returned with 6 (No such device or address). /bin/dmesg may provide additional information. Fatal: Not all events could be opened. The problem is that until 2.6.37 (behavior changed with commit b0a873e) perf on PPC returns ENXIO when hw_perf_event_init() fails. With this patch we get the expected behavior: $ perf stat -v -- sleep 1 cycles event is not supported by the kernel. stalled-cycles-frontend event is not supported by the kernel. stalled-cycles-backend event is not supported by the kernel. instructions event is not supported by the kernel. branches event is not supported by the kernel. branch-misses event is not supported by the kernel. ...

perf: Turn off compiler warnings for flex and bison generated files

2012-05-07T08:03:01Z

We don't know what types of warnings different versions of flex and bison combined with different versions of gcc is going to generate, so just punt and don't warn about anything. This fixes the build of perf for me on an openSUSE 12.1 system.

perf stat: Fix case where guest/host monitoring is not supported by kernel

2012-05-01T17:20:00Z

By default, perf stat sets exclude_guest = 1. But when you run perf on a kernel which does not support host/guest filtering, then you get an error saying the event in unsupported. This comes from the fact that when the perf_event_attr struct passed by the user is larger than the one known to the kernel there is safety check which ensures that all unknown bits are zero. But here, exclude_guest is 1 (part of the unknown bits) and thus the perf_event_open() syscall return EINVAL. To my surprise, running perf record on the same kernel did not exhibit the problem. The reason is that perf record handles the problem by catching the error and retrying with guest/host excludes set to zero. For some reason, this was not done with perf stat. This patch fixes this problem.
