2016-02-02perf probe: Search both .eh_frame and .debug_frame sections for probe locationHemant Kumar1-25/+37
'perf probe' through debuginfo__find_probes() in util/probe-finder.c checks for the functions' frame descriptions in either .eh_frame section of an ELF or the .debug_frame. The check is based on whether either one of these sections is present. Depending on distro, toolchain defaults, architetcutre, build flags, etc., CFI might be found in either .eh_frame and/or .debug_frame. Sometimes, it may happen that, .eh_frame, even if present, may not be complete and may miss some descriptions. Therefore, to be sure, to find the CFI covering an address we will always have to investigate both if available. For e.g., in powerpc, this may happen: $ gcc -g bin.c -o bin $ objdump --dwarf ./bin <1><145>: Abbrev Number: 7 (DW_TAG_subprogram) <146> DW_AT_external : 1 <146> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x9e): main <14a> DW_AT_decl_file : 1 <14b> DW_AT_decl_line : 39 <14c> DW_AT_prototyped : 1 <14c> DW_AT_type : <0x57> <150> DW_AT_low_pc : 0x100007b8 If the .eh_frame and .debug_frame are checked for the same binary, we will find that, .eh_frame (although present) doesn't contain a description for "main" function. But, .debug_frame has a description: 000000d8 00000024 00000000 FDE cie=00000000 pc=100007b8..10000838 DW_CFA_advance_loc: 16 to 100007c8 DW_CFA_def_cfa_offset: 144 DW_CFA_offset_extended_sf: r65 at cfa+16 ... Due to this (since, perf checks whether .eh_frame is present and goes on searching for that address inside that frame), perf is unable to process the probes: # perf probe -x ./bin main Failed to get call frame on 0x100007b8 Error: Failed to add events. To avoid this issue, we need to check both the sections (.eh_frame and .debug_frame), which is done in this patch. Note that, we can always force everything into both .eh_frame and .debug_frame by: $ gcc bin.c -fasynchronous-unwind-tables -fno-dwarf2-cfi-asm -g -o bin Signed-off-by: Hemant Kumar <hemant@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Acked-by: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@hitachi.com> Cc: linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org Cc: Mark Wielaard <mjw@redhat.com> Cc: Naveen N.

2015-11-25perf probe: Fix to free temporal Dwarf_Frame correctlyMasami Hiramatsu1-7/+6
The commit 05c8d802fa52 ("perf probe: Fix to free temporal Dwarf_Frame") tried to fix the memory leak of Dwarf_Frame, but it released the frame at wrong point. Since the dwarf_frame_cfa(frame, &pf->fb_ops, &nops) can return an address inside the frame data structure to pf->fb_ops, we can not release the frame before using pf->fb_ops. This reverts the commit and releases the frame afterwards (right before returning from call_probe_finder) correctly.

2015-11-13perf probe: Clear probe_trace_event when add_probe_trace_event() failsWang Nan1-6/+14
When probing with a glob, errors in add_probe_trace_event() won't be passed to debuginfo__find_trace_events() because it would be modified by probe_point_search_cb(). It causes a segfault if perf fails to find an argument for a probe point matched by the glob.

2015-08-26perf probe: Support probing at absolute addressWang Nan1-18/+3
It should be useful to allow 'perf probe' probe at absolute offset of a target. For example, when (u)probing at a instruction of a shared object in a embedded system where debuginfo is not avaliable but we know the offset of that instruction by manually digging. This patch enables following perf probe command syntax: # perf probe 0xffffffff811e6615 And # perf probe /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc-2.19.so 0xeb860 In the above example, we don't need a anchor symbol, so it is possible to compute absolute addresses using other methods and then use 'perf probe' to create the probing points. v1 -> v2: Drop the leading '+' in cmdline; Allow uprobing at offset 0x0; Improve 'perf probe -l' result when uprobe at area without debuginfo. v2 -> v3: Split bugfix to a separated patch. Test result: # perf probe 0xffffffff8119d175 %ax # perf probe sys_write %ax # perf probe /lib64/libc-2.18.so 0x0 %ax # perf probe /lib64/libc-2.18.so 0x5 %ax # perf probe /lib64/libc-2.18.so 0xd8e40 %ax # perf probe /lib64/libc-2.18.so __write %ax # perf probe /lib64/libc-2.18.so 0xd8e49 %ax # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events p:probe_libc/abs_0 /lib64/libc-2.18.so:0x (null) arg1=%ax p:probe_libc/abs_5 /lib64/libc-2.18.so:0x0000000000000005 arg1=%ax p:probe_libc/abs_d8e40 /lib64/libc-2.18.so:0x00000000000d8e40 arg1=%ax p:probe_libc/__write /lib64/libc-2.18.so:0x00000000000d8e40 arg1=%ax p:probe_libc/abs_d8e49 /lib64/libc-2.18.so:0x00000000000d8e49 arg1=%ax # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events p:probe/abs_ffffffff8119d175 0xffffffff8119d175 arg1=%ax p:probe/sys_write _text+1692016 arg1=%ax # perf probe -l Failed to find debug information for address 5 probe:abs_ffffffff8119d175 (on sys_write+5 with arg1) probe:sys_write (on sys_write with arg1) probe_libc:__write (on @unix/syscall-template.S:81 in /lib64/libc-2.18.so with arg1) probe_libc:abs_0 (on 0x0 in /lib64/libc-2.18.so with arg1) probe_libc:abs_5 (on 0x5 in /lib64/libc-2.18.so with arg1) probe_libc:abs_d8e40 (on @unix/syscall-template.S:81 in /lib64/libc-2.18.so with arg1) probe_libc:abs_d8e49 (on __GI___libc_write+9 in /lib64/libc-2.18.so with arg1) Signed-off-by: Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com> Acked-by: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@hitachi.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Zefan Li <lizefan@huawei.com> Cc: pi3orama@163.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1440586666-235233-7-git-send-email-wangnan0@huawei.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

2015-06-08perf tools: Reference count struct dsoArnaldo Carvalho de Melo1-1/+1
This has a different model than the 'thread' and 'map' struct lifetimes: there is not a definitive "don't use this DSO anymore" event, i.e. we may get many 'struct map' holding references to the '/usr/lib64/libc-2.20.so' DSO but then at some point some DSO may have no references but we still don't want to straight away release its resources, because "soon" we may get a new 'struct map' that needs it and we want to reuse its symtab or other resources. So we need some way to garbage collect it when crossing some memory usage threshold, which is left for anoter patch, for now it is sufficient to release it when calling dsos__exit(), i.e. when deleting the whole list as part of deleting the 'struct machine' containing it, which will leave only referenced objects being used.

2015-05-12perf probe: Add --range option to show a variable's location rangeHe Kuang1-13/+44
It is not easy for users to get the accurate byte offset or the line number where a local variable can be probed. With '--range' option, local variables in the scope of the probe point are showed with a byte offset range, and can be added according to this range information. For example, there are some variables in the function generic_perform_write(): <generic_perform_write@mm/filemap.c:0> 0 ssize_t generic_perform_write(struct file *file, 1 struct iov_iter *i, loff_t pos) 2 { 3 struct address_space *mapping = file->f_mapping; 4 const struct address_space_operations *a_ops = mapping->a_ops; ... 42 status = a_ops->write_begin(file, mapping, pos, bytes, flags, &page, &fsdata); 44 if (unlikely(status < 0)) But we fail when we try to probe the variable 'a_ops' at line 42 or 44. $ perf probe --add 'generic_perform_write:42 a_ops' Failed to find the location of a_ops at this address. Perhaps, it has been optimized out. This is because the source code do not match the assembly, so a variable may not be available in the source code line where it appears.

Pull perf changes from Ingo Molnar: "Core kernel changes: - One of the more interesting features in this cycle is the ability to attach eBPF programs (user-defined, sandboxed bytecode executed by the kernel) to kprobes. This allows user-defined instrumentation on a live kernel image that can never crash, hang or interfere with the kernel negatively. (Right now it's limited to root-only, but in the future we might allow unprivileged use as well.) (Alexei Starovoitov) - Another non-trivial feature is per event clockid support: this allows, amongst other things, the selection of different clock sources for event timestamps traced via perf. This feature is sought by people who'd like to merge perf generated events with external events that were measured with different clocks: - cluster wide profiling - for system wide tracing with user-space events, - JIT profiling events etc. Matching perf tooling support is added as well, available via the -k, --clockid <clockid> parameter to perf record et al. (Peter Zijlstra) Hardware enablement kernel changes: - x86 Intel Processor Trace (PT) support: which is a hardware tracer on steroids, available on Broadwell CPUs. The hardware trace stream is directly output into the user-space ring-buffer, using the 'AUX' data format extension that was added to the perf core to support hardware constraints such as the necessity to have the tracing buffer physically contiguous. This patch-set was developed for two years and this is the result. A simple way to make use of this is to use BTS tracing, the PT driver emulates BTS output - available via the 'intel_bts' PMU. More explicit PT specific tooling support is in the works as well - will probably be ready by 4.2. (Alexander Shishkin, Peter Zijlstra) - x86 Intel Cache QoS Monitoring (CQM) support: this is a hardware feature of Intel Xeon CPUs that allows the measurement and allocation/partitioning of caches to individual workloads. These kernel changes expose the measurement side as a new PMU driver, which exposes various QoS related PMU events. (The partitioning change is work in progress and is planned to be merged as a cgroup extension.) (Matt Fleming, Peter Zijlstra; CPU feature detection by Peter P Waskiewicz Jr) - x86 Intel Haswell LBR call stack support: this is a new Haswell feature that allows the hardware recording of call chains, plus tooling support. To activate this feature you have to enable it via the new 'lbr' call-graph recording option: perf record --call-graph lbr perf report or: perf top --call-graph lbr This hardware feature is a lot faster than stack walk or dwarf based unwinding, but has some limitations: - It reuses the current LBR facility, so LBR call stack and branch record can not be enabled at the same time. - It is only available for user-space callchains. (Yan, Zheng) - x86 Intel Broadwell CPU support and various event constraints and event table fixes for earlier models. (Andi Kleen) - x86 Intel HT CPUs event scheduling workarounds. This is a complex CPU bug affecting the SNB,IVB,HSW families that results in counter value corruption. The mitigation code is automatically enabled and is transparent. (Maria Dimakopoulou, Stephane Eranian) The perf tooling side had a ton of changes in this cycle as well, so I'm only able to list the user visible changes here, in addition to the tooling changes outlined above: User visible changes affecting all tools: - Improve support of compressed kernel modules (Jiri Olsa) - Save DSO loading errno to better report errors (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - Bash completion for subcommands (Yunlong Song) - Add 'I' event modifier for perf_event_attr.exclude_idle bit (Jiri Olsa) - Support missing -f to override perf.data file ownership. (Yunlong Song) - Show the first event with an invalid filter (David Ahern, Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) User visible changes in individual tools: 'perf data': New tool for converting perf.data to other formats, initially for the CTF (Common Trace Format) from LTTng (Jiri Olsa, Sebastian Siewior) 'perf diff': Add --kallsyms option (David Ahern) 'perf list': Allow listing events with 'tracepoint' prefix (Yunlong Song) Sort the output of the command (Yunlong Song) 'perf kmem': Respect -i option (Jiri Olsa) Print big numbers using thousands' group (Namhyung Kim) Allow -v option (Namhyung Kim) Fix alignment of slab result table (Namhyung Kim) 'perf probe': Support multiple probes on different binaries on the same command line (Masami Hiramatsu) Support unnamed union/structure members data collection.

2015-04-02perf probe: Fix to track down unnamed union/structure membersMasami Hiramatsu1-1/+7
Fix 'perf probe' to track down unnamed union/structure members. perf probe did not track down the tree of unnamed union/structure members, since it just failed to find given "name" in a parent structure/union. To solve this issue, I've introduced 2 changes. - Fix die_find_member() to track down the type-DIE if it is unnamed, and if it contains the specified member, returns the unnamed member. (note that we don't return found member, since unnamed member has the offset in the parent structure) - Fix convert_variable_fields() to track down the unnamed union/ structure (one-by-one). With this patch, perf probe can access unnamed fields: ----- #./perf probe -nfx ./perf lock__delete ops 'locked_ops=ops->locked.ops' Added new event: probe_perf:lock__delete (on lock__delete in /home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux-3/tools/perf/perf with ops locked_ops=ops->locked.ops) You can now use it in all perf tools, such as: perf record -e probe_perf:lock__delete -aR sleep 1 ----- Reported-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@kernel.org> Report-Link: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/3/5/431 Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@hitachi.com> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20150402073312.14482.37942.stgit@localhost.localdomain Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

Fix an error message when failed to find given address in --vars mode. Without this fix, perf probe -V doesn't show the final "Error" message if it fails to find given source line. Moreover, it tells it fails to find "variables" instead of the source line. ----- # perf probe -V foo@bar Failed to find variables at foo@bar (0) ----- The result also shows mysterious error code.

Fix a segfault bug by asking for variable it doesn't find. Since the convert_variable() didn't handle error code returned from convert_variable_location(), it just passed an incomplete variable field and then a segfault was occurred when formatting the field. This fixes that bug by handling success code correctly in convert_variable(). Other callers of convert_variable_location() are correctly checking the return code. This bug was introduced by following commit.

2014-04-14perf probe: Fix to handle errors in line_range searchingMasami Hiramatsu1-3/+4
As Namhyung reported(https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/1/89), current perf-probe -L option doesn't handle errors in line-range searching correctly. It causes a SEGV if an error occured in the line-range searching. ---- $ perf probe -x ./perf -v -L map__load Open Debuginfo file: /home/namhyung/project/linux/tools/perf/perf fname: util/map.c, lineno:153 New line range: 153 to 2147483647 path: (null) Segmentation fault (core dumped) ---- This is because line_range_inline_cb() ignores errors from find_line_range_by_line() which means that lr->path is already freed on the error path in find_line_range_by_line(). As a result, get_real_path() accesses the lr->path and it causes a NULL pointer exception. This fixes line_range_inline_cb() to handle the error correctly, and report it to the caller. Anyway, this just fixes a possible SEGV bug, Namhyung's patch is also required.

2014-02-18perf probe: Find given address from offline dwarfMasami Hiramatsu1-86/+0
Find the given address from offline dwarfs instead of online kernel dwarfs. On the KASLR enabled kernel, the kernel text section is loaded with random offset, and the debuginfo__new_online_kernel can't handle it. So let's move to the offline dwarf loader instead of using the online dwarf loader. As a result, since we don't need debuginfo__new_online_kernel any more, this also removes the functions related to that. Without this change; # ./perf probe -l probe:t_show (on _stext+901288 with m v) probe:t_show_1 (on _stext+939624 with m v t) probe:t_show_2 (on _stext+980296 with m v fmt) probe:t_show_3 (on _stext+1014392 with m v file) With this change; # ./perf probe -l probe:t_show (on t_show@linux-3/kernel/trace/ftrace.c with m v) probe:t_show_1 (on t_show@linux-3/kernel/trace/trace.c with m v t) probe:t_show_2 (on t_show@kernel/trace/trace_printk.c with m v fmt) probe:t_show_3 (on t_show@kernel/trace/trace_events.c with m v file) Changes from v2: - Instead of retrying, directly opens offline dwarf. - Remove debuginfo__new_online_kernel and related functions. - Refer map->reloc to get the correct address of a symbol. - Add a special case for handling ref_reloc_sym based address.

2013-12-26perf probe: Support basic dwarf-based operations on uprobe eventsMasami Hiramatsu1-0/+1
Support basic dwarf(debuginfo) based operations for uprobe events. With this change, perf probe can analyze debuginfo of user application binary to set up new uprobe event. This allows perf-probe --add(with local variables, line numbers) and --line works with -x option. (Actually, --vars has already accepted -x option) For example, the following command shows the probe-able lines of a given user space function. Something that so far was only available in the 'perf probe' tool for kernel space functions: # ./perf probe -x perf --line map__load <map__load@/home/fedora/ksrc/linux-2.6/tools/perf/util/map.c:0> 0 int map__load(struct map *map, symbol_filter_t filter) 1 { 2 const char *name = map->dso->long_name; int nr; 5 if (dso__loaded(map->dso, map->type)) 6 return 0; 8 nr = dso__load(map->dso, map, filter); 9 if (nr < 0) { 10 if (map->dso->has_build_id) { And this shows the available variables at the given line of the function. # ./perf probe -x perf --vars map__load:8 Available variables at map__load:8 @<map__load+96> char* name struct map* map symbol_filter_t filter @<map__find_symbol+112> char* name symbol_filter_t filter @<map__find_symbol_by_name+136> char* name symbol_filter_t filter @<map_groups__find_symbol_by_name+176> char* name struct map* map symbol_filter_t filter And lastly, we can now define probe(s) with all available variables on the given line: # ./perf probe -x perf --add 'map__load:8 $vars' Added new events: probe_perf:map__load (on map__load:8 with $vars) probe_perf:map__load_1 (on map__load:8 with $vars) probe_perf:map__load_2 (on map__load:8 with $vars) probe_perf:map__load_3 (on map__load:8 with $vars) You can now use it in all perf tools, such as: perf record -e probe_perf:map__load_3 -aR sleep 1 Changes from previous version: - Add examples in the patch description. - Use .text section start address and dwarf symbol address for calculating the offset of given symbol, instead of searching the symbol in symtab again. With this change, we can safely handle multiple local function instances (e.g. scnprintf in perf).

They convey no information, perhaps I was bitten by some snake at some point, complete the detox by naming the last of those arguments more sensibly.
