perf auxtrace arm64: Add support for HiSilicon PCIe Tune and Trace device driver

2022-10-15T13:13:16Z

HiSilicon PCIe tune and trace device (PTT) could dynamically tune the PCIe link's events, and trace the TLP headers). This patch add support for PTT device in perf tool, so users could use 'perf record' to get TLP headers trace data.

perf pmu: Add pmu_events_map__find() function to find the common PMU map for the system

2021-04-08T17:24:14Z

Add a function to find the common PMU map for the system. For arm64, a special variant is added. This is because arm64 supports heterogeneous CPU systems. As such, it cannot be guaranteed that the cpumap is same for all CPUs. So in case of heterogeneous systems, don't return a cpumap. Reviewed-by: Kajol Jain Signed-off-by: John Garry Tested-by: Paul A.

perf symbols: Fix arm64 gap between kernel start and module end

2020-04-03T12:37:55Z

During execution of command 'perf report' in my arm64 virtual machine, this error message is showed: failed to process sample __symbol__inc_addr_samples(860): ENOMEM! sym->name=__this_module, start=0x1477100, addr=0x147dbd8, end=0x80002000, func: 0 The error is caused with path: cmd_report __cmd_report perf_session__process_events __perf_session__process_events ordered_events__flush __ordered_events__flush oe->deliver (ordered_events__deliver_event) perf_session__deliver_event machines__deliver_event perf_evlist__deliver_sample tool->sample (process_sample_event) hist_entry_iter__add iter->add_entry_cb(hist_iter__report_callback) hist_entry__inc_addr_samples symbol__inc_addr_samples __symbol__inc_addr_samples h = annotated_source__histogram(src, evidx) (NULL) annotated_source__histogram failed is caused with path: ... hist_entry__inc_addr_samples symbol__inc_addr_samples symbol__hists annotated_source__alloc_histograms src->histograms = calloc(nr_hists, sizeof_sym_hist) (failed) Calloc failed as the symbol__size(sym) is too huge. As show in error message: start=0x1477100, end=0x80002000, size of symbol is about 2G. This is the same problem as 'perf annotate: Fix s390 gap between kernel end and module start (b9c0a64901d5bd)'. Perf gets symbol information from /proc/kallsyms in __dso__load_kallsyms. A part of symbol in /proc/kallsyms from my virtual machine is as follows: #cat /proc/kallsyms | sort ... ffff000001475080 d rpfilter_mt_reg [ip6t_rpfilter] ffff000001475100 d $d [ip6t_rpfilter] ffff000001475100 d __this_module [ip6t_rpfilter] ffff000080080000 t _head ffff000080080000 T _text ffff000080080040 t pe_header ... Take line 'ffff000001475100 d __this_module [ip6t_rpfilter]' as example. The start and end of symbol are both set to ffff000001475100 in dso__load_all_kallsyms. Then symbols__fixup_end will set the end of symbol to next big address to ffff000001475100 in /proc/kallsyms, ffff000080080000 in this example. Then sizeof of symbol will be about 2G and cause the problem. The start of module in my machine is ffff000000a62000 t $x [dm_mod] The start of kernel in my machine is ffff000080080000 t _head There is a big gap between end of module and begin of kernel if a samll amount of memory is used by module. And the last symbol in module will have a large address range as caotaining the big gap. Give that the module and kernel text segment sequence may change in the future, fix this by limiting range of last symbol in module and kernel to 4K in arch arm64.

perf symbols: Consolidate symbol fixup issue

2020-03-23T14:08:29Z

After copying Arm64's perf archive with object files and perf.data file to x86 laptop, the x86's perf kernel symbol resolution fails. It outputs 'unknown' for all symbols parsing. This issue is root caused by the function elf__needs_adjust_symbols(), x86 perf tool uses one weak version, Arm64 (and powerpc) has rewritten their own version. elf__needs_adjust_symbols() decides if need to parse symbols with the relative offset address; but x86 building uses the weak function which misses to check for the elf type 'ET_DYN', so that it cannot parse symbols in Arm DSOs due to the wrong result from elf__needs_adjust_symbols(). The DSO parsing should not depend on any specific architecture perf building; e.g. x86 perf tool can parse Arm and Arm64 DSOs, vice versa. And confirmed by Naveen N. Rao that powerpc64 kernels are not being built as ET_DYN anymore and change to ET_EXEC. This patch removes the arch specific functions for Arm64 and powerpc and changes elf__needs_adjust_symbols() as a common function. In the common elf__needs_adjust_symbols(), it checks an extra condition 'ET_DYN' for elf header type. With this fixing, the Arm64 DSO can be parsed properly with x86's perf tool.

perf tools: Avoid 'sample_reg_masks' being const + weak

2019-10-10T12:29:33Z

Being const + weak breaks with some compilers that constant-propagate from the weak symbol. This behavior is outside of the specification, but in LLVM is chosen to match GCC's behavior. LLVM's implementation was set in this patch: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/f49573d1eedcf1e44893d5a062ac1b72c8419646 A const + weak symbol is set to be weak_odr: https://llvm.org/docs/LangRef.html ODR is one definition rule, and given there is one constant definition constant-propagation is possible. It is possible to get this code to miscompile with LLVM when applying link time optimization. As compilers become more aggressive, this is likely to break in more instances. Move the definition of sample_reg_masks to the conditional part of perf_regs.h and guard usage with HAVE_PERF_REGS_SUPPORT. This avoids the weak symbol. Fix an issue when HAVE_PERF_REGS_SUPPORT isn't defined from patch v1. In v3, add perf_regs.c for architectures that HAVE_PERF_REGS_SUPPORT but don't declare sample_regs_masks. Further notes: Jiri asked: "Is this just a precaution or you actualy saw some breakage?" Ian answered: "We saw a breakage with clang with thinlto enabled for linking. Our compiler team had recently seen, and were surprised by, a similar issue and were able to dig out the weak ODR issue."
