Test results:

The first ones are container (docker) based builds of tools/perf with and without libelf support, objtool where it is supported and samples/bpf/, ditto. Where clang is available, it is also used to build perf with/without libelf.

Several are cross builds, the ones with -x-ARCH, and the android one, and those may not have all the features built, due to lack of multi-arch devel packages, available and being used so far on just a few, like debian:experimental-x-{arm64,mipsel}.

The 'perf test' one will perform a variety of tests exercising tools/perf/util/, tools/lib/{bpf,traceevent,etc}, as well as run perf commands with a variety of command line event specifications to then intercept the sys_perf_event syscall to check that the perf_event_attr fields are set up as expected, among a variety of other unit tests.

The 'perf test' also runs shell scripts exercising the tools, checking if they affect the system in certain ways, like setting up kprobes and uprobes, request callchains for well known programs and check that they are the expected ones, see if 'perf trace' beautifies system call arguments correctly, etc.

Additionally, a new set of tests, script based, runs the tools in a live system, setting probes in place that then gets used by 'perf trace', with its output compared against expected results.

Then there is the 'make -C tools/perf build-test' ones, that build tools/perf/ with a variety of feature sets, exercising the build with an incomplete set of features as well as with a complete one. It is planned to have it run on each of the containers mentioned above, using some container orchestration infrastructure. Get in contact if interested in helping having this in place.

As defined in tools/perf/util/pmu.c, the EVENT_SOURCE_DEVICE_PATH is /sys/bus/event_source/devices/ (no traling 's' in event_source)

This patch corrects the path in the perf stat documentation

We can't pass --dynamic-list list into static build anymore, because compilers starts to scream about that. Fedora 26 started to fail build with following error:

  $ make LDFLAGS=-static
  ...
  /usr/bin/ld: dynamic STT_GNU_IFUNC symbol `strcmp' with pointer equality in `/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/7/../../../../lib64/libc.a(strcmp.o
+)' can not be used when making an executable; recompile with -fPIE and relink with -pie

There's no sense for --dynamic-list in static build, because there's no .dynsym table in static binary. Consequently the traceevent plugins have never worked with static build, but it was quietly passed by.

To fix this in future I think we should add support to compile plugins within the perf binary directly for static build.

Skylake introduced new mem_remote bit in union perf_mem_data_src [1]. It applies to any other memory level to express Remote unknown level, as is reported by Skylake.

Adding this extra check to c2c_decode_stats to properly decode remote HITMs on Skylake.

Adding dump_read function to gather all the dump output of read function. Adding output of enabled and running times and id if enabled (3 new lines with '...' prefix below).

  $ perf record -s ...
  $ perf report -D

... time running : 958358313731
... id : 80

Committer note:

Do not use 'read' as a variable name as it breaks the build on older systems, such as RHEL6:

We need to make sure the array of value pointers are zero initialized, because we use them in realloc later on and uninitialized non zero value will cause allocation error and aborted execution.

There's no big value on displaying counts for every event ID, which is one per every CPU. Rather than that, displaying the whole sum for the event.

  $ perf record -c 100000 -e cycles:u -s test
  $ perf report -T

Before:
# PID TID cycles:u cycles:u cycles:u cycles:u ... [20 more columns of 'cycles:u']

    3339  3339         0         0         0         0
    3340  3340         0         0         0         0
    3341  3341         0         0         0         0
    3342  3342         0         0         0         0

Now:
# PID TID cycles:u

    3339  3339     19678
    3340  3340     18744

These changes made the tools/arch/x86/include/ headers to drift from its kernel origins:

910448bbed06 ("perf/x86/amd/uncore: Rename cpufeatures macro for cache counters") 5442c2699552 ("x86/cpufeature, kvm/svm: Rename (shorten) the new "virtualized VMSAVE/VMLOAD" CPUID flag") cba4671af755 ("x86/mm: Disable PCID on 32-bit kernels")

Which was detected while building perf:

make: Entering directory '/home/acme/git/linux/tools/perf'
BUILD: Doing 'make -j4' parallel build
Warning: Kernel ABI header at 'tools/arch/x86/include/asm/disabled-features.h' differs from latest version at 'arch/x86/include/asm/disabled-features.h'
Warning: Kernel ABI header at 'tools/arch/x86/include/asm/cpufeatures.h' differs from latest version at 'arch/x86/include/asm/cpufeatures.h'

This sync causes just these perf object files to be rebuilt:

CC /tmp/build/perf/bench/mem-memcpy-x86-64-asm.o
CC /tmp/build/perf/bench/mem-memset-x86-64-asm.o

And the changes in the above changesets don't entail any need for change in the above 'perf bench' files.

The tools/include/uapi/asm-generic/mman-common.h file is used to find the access rights defines for the pkey_alloc syscall second argument.

Since we have the detector of changes for the tools/include header files versus its kernel origin (include/uapi/asm-generic/mman-common.h), we'll get whatever new flag appears for that argument automatically.

This method should be used in other cases where it is easy to generate those flags tables because the header has properly namespaced defines like PKEY_DISABLE_ACCESS and PKEY_DISABLE_WRITE.

The commit 9aaf5a5f479b ("perf probe: Check kprobes blacklist when adding new events"), 'perf probe' supports checking the blacklist of the fuctions which can not be probed. But the checking condition is wrong, that the end_addr of the symbol which is the start_addr of the next symbol can't be included.

Committer notes:

IOW make it match its kernel counterpart in kernel/kprobes.c:

bool within_kprobe_blacklist(unsigned long addr)

Each entry have as its end address not its end address, but the first address _outside_ that symbol, which for related functions, is the first address of the next symbol, like these from kernel/trace/trace_probe.c:

0xffffffffbd198df0-0xffffffffbd198e40 print_type_u8
0xffffffffbd198e40-0xffffffffbd198e90 print_type_u16
0xffffffffbd198e90-0xffffffffbd198ee0 print_type_u32
0xffffffffbd198ee0-0xffffffffbd198f30 print_type_u64
0xffffffffbd198f30-0xffffffffbd198f80 print_type_s8
0xffffffffbd198f80-0xffffffffbd198fd0 print_type_s16
0xffffffffbd198fd0-0xffffffffbd199020 print_type_s32
0xffffffffbd199020-0xffffffffbd199070 print_type_s64
0xffffffffbd199070-0xffffffffbd1990c0 print_type_x8
0xffffffffbd1990c0-0xffffffffbd199110 print_type_x16
0xffffffffbd199110-0xffffffffbd199160 print_type_x32
0xffffffffbd199160-0xffffffffbd1991b0 print_type_x64

But not always:

0xffffffffbd1997b0-0xffffffffbd1997c0 fetch_kernel_stack_address (kernel/trace/trace_probe.c)
0xffffffffbd1c57f0-0xffffffffbd1c58b0 __context_tracking_enter (kernel/context_tracking.c)

On x86, the plt header size is as same as the plt entry size, and can be identified from shdr's sh_entsize of the plt.

But we can't assume that the sh_entsize of the plt shdr is always the plt entry size in all architecture, and the plt header size may be not as same as the plt entry size in some architecure.

On ARM, the plt header size is 20 bytes and the plt entry size is 12 bytes (don't consider the FOUR_WORD_PLT case) that refer to the binutils implementation. The plt section is as follows:

Disassembly of section .plt:
000004a0 <__cxa_finalize@plt-0x14>:

 4a0:   e52de004        push    {lr}            ; (str lr, [sp, #-4]!)
 4a4:   e59fe004        ldr     lr, [pc, #4]    ; 4b0 <_init+0x1c>
 4a8:   e08fe00e        add     lr, pc, lr
 4ac:   e5bef008        ldr     pc, [lr, #8]!
 4b0:   00008424        .word   0x00008424

000004b4 <__cxa_finalize@plt>:

 4b4:   e28fc600        add     ip, pc, #0, 12
 4b8:   e28cca08        add     ip, ip, #8, 20  ; 0x8000
 4bc:   e5bcf424        ldr     pc, [ip, #1060]!        ; 0x424

000004c0 <printf@plt>:

 4c0:   e28fc600        add     ip, pc, #0, 12
 4c4:   e28cca08        add     ip, ip, #8, 20  ; 0x8000
 4c8:   e5bcf41c        ldr     pc, [ip, #1052]!        ; 0x41c

On AARCH64, the plt header size is 32 bytes and the plt entry size is 16 bytes. The plt section is as follows:

Disassembly of section .plt:
0000000000000560 <__cxa_finalize@plt-0x20>:

 59c:   d61f0220        br      x17

NOTES:

In addition to ARM and AARCH64, other architectures, such as s390/alpha/mips/parisc/poperpc/sh/sparc/xtensa also need to consider this issue.
