[PATCH 1/5] perf trace: Validate syscall id before growing syscall table

[PATCH 1/5] perf trace: Validate syscall id before growing syscall table

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

In some cases the ID for a syscall read thru the raw_syscalls tracepoint
is bogus, still needs to be investigated why, but to make the tool more
robust first try to resolve the ID to a name via libaudit and if it
fails, don't grow the table.

[PATCH 2/5] perf trace: Check if sample raw_data field is set

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

Sometimes we're segfaulting because we were expecting that the
perf_sample.raw_data field was set as requested, but in some cases
that needs further investigation, that field can be NULL, leading
to segfaults.

Make the tool more robust by checking that before calling any per event
handlers that may try to use that field.

[PATCH 3/5] perf help: Fix --help for builtins

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org>

It seems that commit cc5848213329 ("perf help: Remove use of die and
handle errors") caused the problem - it changed the initial value of
'help_format' from HELP_FORMAT_MAN to HELP_FORMAT_NONE.

This broke the --help option for all builtins, that would produce no
output, while 'man perf-top' would work it MANPATH is properly setup.

[PATCH 4/5] perf tools: do not flush maps on COMM for perf report

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

From: Luigi Semenzato <semenzato@chromium.org>

This fixes a long-standing bug caused by the lack of separate COMM and EXEC
record types, which makes "perf report" lose track of symbols when a process
renames itself.

With this fix (suggested by Stephane Eranian), a COMM (rename) no longer
flushes the maps, which is the correct behavior.  An EXEC also no longer
flushes the maps, but this doesn't matter because as new mappings are created
(for the executable and the libraries) the old mappings are automatically
removed.  This is not by accident: the functionality is necessary because DLLs
can be explicitly loaded at any time with dlopen(), possibly on top of existing
text, so "perf report" handles correctly the clobbering of new mappings on top
of old ones.

An alternative patch (which I proposed earlier) would be to introduce a
separate PERF_RECORD_EXEC type, but it is a much larger change (about 300
lines) and is not necessary.

[PATCH 5/5] perf test: Fix exclude_guest parse events tests

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

From: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com>

Event parsing tests are broken by following commit:

  perf tool: Precise mode requires exclude_guest
  commit 1342798cc13e3b48d9b5738f0c8fa812ccea8101
  Author: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com>
  Date:   Thu Sep 13 14:59:13 2012 -0600

which enables 'exclude_guest' modifier any time the 'precise'
modifier is detected.

Fixing related tests and adding special comment.
