[PATCH 0/5] Perf fixes for ARC + uClibc

[PATCH 0/5] Perf fixes for ARC + uClibc

[Vineet Gupta]

Hi,

This series based off linux-next of 20150105 allows us to build/use perf
for ARC with uClibc based userland.

* 1/5 is really a resend of old patch posted by Alexey a while back
* 2/5 is uClibc build spew seen on ARM as well
* 3/5 likewise
* 4/5 is uClibc config specific
* 5/5 is uClibc pthread library flavour specific
  It adds a stub for pthread_attr_setaffinity_np
  I can rework it to disable the futex tests altogether if people think that is
  cleaner

Please review and consider applying.
W/o these perf doesn't build and/or work for ARC.

Thx,
-Vineet

[PATCH 1/5] perf tools: [uclibc] fix statfs.f_type data type mismatch build error

ARC Linux uses the no legacy syscalls abi and corresponding uClibc headers
statfs defines f_type to be U32 which causes perf build breakage

[PATCH 4/5] perf tools: [uclibc] don't rely on glibc malloc working for sz 0

[Vineet Gupta]

When running perf on ARC (uClibc based userspace), ran into this issue
------------->8----------------
	[ARCLinux]$ ./perf record ls
	bin             etc             perf            sys
	debug           init            perf.data       tmp
	[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
	[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.001 MB perf.data (~24 samples) ]

	[ARCLinux]$ ./perf report
	incompatible file format (rerun with -v to learn more)
------------->8----------------

The problem happens in the following call stack when zalloc is called
with size zero

glibc default / uClibc with MALLOC_GLIBC_COMPAT are OK, but not if that
config option is not enabled.

  cmd_report
     perf_session__new
	perf_session__open
	    perf_session__read_header
		read_attr(fd, header, &f_attr)
		nr_ids = f_attr.ids.size / sizeof(u64); <-- 0
		perf_evsel__alloc_id(vsel, 1, nr_ids)
			zalloc(ncpus * nthreads * sizeof(u64)) <-- 0

header.c: read_attr()

(gdb) p *f_attr
$17 = {
  attr = {
    type = 0,
    size = 96,
    config = 0,
    {
      sample_period = 4000,
      sample_freq = 4000
    },
...
  ids = {
    offset = 104,
    size = 0      <------
  }
}

[PATCH 4/5] perf tools: [uclibc] don't rely on glibc malloc working for sz 0

[Vineet Gupta]

When running perf on ARC (uClibc based userspace), ran into this issue
------------->8----------------
	[ARCLinux]$ ./perf record ls
	bin             etc             perf            sys
	debug           init            perf.data       tmp
	[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
	[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.001 MB perf.data (~24 samples) ]

	[ARCLinux]$ ./perf report
	incompatible file format (rerun with -v to learn more)
------------->8----------------

The problem happens in the following call stack when zalloc is called
with size zero

glibc default / uClibc with MALLOC_GLIBC_COMPAT are OK, but not if that
config option is not enabled.

  cmd_report
     perf_session__new
	perf_session__open
	    perf_session__read_header
		read_attr(fd, header, &f_attr)
		nr_ids = f_attr.ids.size / sizeof(u64); <-- 0
		perf_evsel__alloc_id(vsel, 1, nr_ids)
			zalloc(ncpus * nthreads * sizeof(u64)) <-- 0

header.c: read_attr()

(gdb) p *f_attr
$17 = {
  attr = {
    type = 0,
    size = 96,
    config = 0,
    {
      sample_period = 4000,
      sample_freq = 4000
    },
...
  ids = {
    offset = 104,
    size = 0      <------
  }
}

Hmm.. okay.  I think we don't need to allocate the id arrays when size
is 0.  So perf_event__process_attr() will have the same problem IMHO.
How about this?

Fine by me as I'm not too familiar with perf tools internals.
So I need to spin a v2 for this or would you rather create a patch with me as

Indeed, apologies for the snafu. I'll include it in v2 for the series.
Any thoughts on rest of patches for the series.
Thanks for the careful review so far.

Do you have some ready made ARC VM image with devel tools I could use with qemu?

Nope we don't have a QEMU port or plans for it. We have a non FOSS Instruction set simulator - and an upcoming tools release might have a free / lite version of it. I need to check with higher powers to possibly provide u a VM equipped with that !

FWIW, most of the issues I posted fixes for can be reproduced with building perf with ARC buildroot !

To reproduce described build problems (covered in patches 1, 2, 3, 5) you may indeed use Buildroot.
Just get the most recent release from here http://buildroot.uclibc.org/downloads/buildroot-2014.11.tar.gz
and use load following configuration in "menuconfig":
--->---
BR2_arcle=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT_LARGEFILE=y
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL=y
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_DEFCONFIG="fpga"
BR2_PACKAGE_PERF=y
BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_INITRAMFS=y 
--->---

Then say "make" and you'll see the problem.
If you experience any problems trying to follow my advice please let me
know and I'll try to help you.
