  perf tests: Fix build on older systems where 'signal' is reserved (2016-02-15 17:33:26 -0300)

----------------------------------------------------------------
perf/core improvements and fixes:

User visible:

- Do not print trailing spaces in the hists browser (top, report) to
  avoid line wrapping issues when long C++ demangled functions are
  sampled (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Allow 'perf config' to show --system or --user settings (Taeung Song)

- Add better warning about the need to install the audit-lib-python
  package when using perf python scripts (Taeung Song)

- Fix symbol resolution when kernel modules files are only in the
  build id cache (~/.debug) (Wang Nan)

Build fixes:

- Fix 'perf test' build on older systems where 'signal' is reserved (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

Infrastructure:

- Free the terms list_head in parse_events__free_terms(), also unlink the entries
  when deleting them (Wang Nan)

- Fix releasing event_class in 'perf data' fixing integration with
  libbabeltrace (Wang Nan)

- Add EXTRA_LDFLAGS option to Makefile (Zubair Lutfullah Kakakhel)

[PATCH 01/13] perf config: Add '--system' and '--user' options to select which config file is used

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

From: Taeung Song <treeze.taeung@gmail.com>

The '--system' option means $(sysconfdir)/perfconfig and '--user' means
$HOME/.perfconfig. If none is used, both system and user config file are
read.  E.g.:

    # perf config [<file-option>] [options]

    With an specific config file:

    # perf config --user | --system

    or both user and system config file:

    # perf config

[PATCH 02/13] perf symbols: Fix symbols searching for module in buildid-cache

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

From: Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com>

Before this patch, if a sample is triggered inside a module not in
/lib/modules/`uname -r`/, even if the module is in buildid-cache, 'perf
report' will still be unable to find the correct symbol.  For example:

  # rm -rf ~/.debug/
  # perf buildid-cache -a ./mymodule.ko
  # perf probe -m ./mymodule.ko -a get_mymodule_val
  Added new event:
    probe:get_mymodule_val (on get_mymodule_val in mymodule)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

 	perf record -e probe:get_mymodule_val -aR sleep 1

  # perf record -e probe:get_mymodule_val cat /proc/mymodule
  mymodule:3
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.011 MB perf.data (1 samples) ]

  # perf report --stdio
  [SNIP]
  #
  # Overhead  Command  Shared Object     Symbol
  # ........  .......  ................  ......................
  #
    100.00%  cat      [mymodule]        [k] 0x0000000000000001

  # perf report -vvvv --stdio
  dso__load_sym: adjusting symbol: st_value: 0 sh_addr: 0 sh_offset: 0x70
  symbol__new: get_mymodule_val 0x70-0x8a
  [SNIP]

This is caused by dso__load() -> dso__load_sym(). In dso__load(), kmod
is true only when its file is found in some well know directories. All
files loaded from buildid-cache are treated as user programs. Following
dso__load_sym() set map->pgoff incorrectly.

This patch gives kernel modules in buildid-cache a chance to adjust
value of kmod. After dso__load() get the type of symbols, if it is
buildid, check the last 3 chars of original filename against '.ko', and
adjust the value of kmod if the file is a kernel module.

[PATCH 03/13] perf build: Add EXTRA_LDFLAGS option to makefile

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

From: Zubair Lutfullah Kakakhel <Zubair.Kakakhel@imgtec.com>

To compile for little-endian systems, you need to pass -EL to CC and LD.

EXTRA_CFLAGS works to pass -EL to CC.
Add EXTRA_LDFLAGS to pass -EL to LD.

[PATCH 04/13] perf python scripting: Append examples to err msg about audit-libs-python

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

From: Taeung Song <treeze.taeung@gmail.com>

To print syscall names, the audit-libs-python package is required.. If
not installed, it prints this error string:

    # perf script syscall-counts
    Install the audit-libs-python package to get syscall names.

But the package name is different in Ubuntu, mention that in the error
message, similar to a error message of util/trace-event-scripting.c:

    # perf script syscall-counts
    Install the audit-libs-python package to get syscall names.
    For example:
      # apt-get install python-audit (Ubuntu)
      # yum install audit-libs-python (Fedora)
      etc.

[PATCH 06/13] perf hists: Do column alignment on the format iterator

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

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

We were doing column alignment in the format function for each cell,
returning a string padded with spaces so that when the next column is
printed the cursor is at its column alignment.

This ends up needlessly printing trailing spaces, do it at the format
iterator, that is where we know if it is needed, i.e. if there is more
columns to be printed.

This eliminates the need for triming lines when doing a dump using 'P'
in the TUI browser and also produces far saner results with things like
piping 'perf report' to 'less'.

Right now only the formatters for sym->name and the 'locked' column
(perf mem report), that are the ones that end up at the end of lines
in the default 'perf report', 'perf top' and 'perf mem report' tools,
the others will be done in a subsequent patch.

In the end the 'width' parameter for the formatters now mean, in
'printf' terms, the 'precision', where before it was the field 'width'.

[PATCH 08/13] perf tools: Introduce parse_events_terms__purge()

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

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

Purges 'struct parse_event_term' entries from a list_head.

Some users need this because they don't allocate space for the list
head, it maybe on the stack or embedded into some other struct.

Next patch will convert users that need just purging and then the
perf_events__free_terms() routine will free the list head as well,
finally being renamed to perf_events_terms__delete().

[PATCH 09/13] perf tools: Use perf_event_terms__purge() for non-malloced terms

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

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

In these two cases, a 'perf test' entry and in the PMU code the
list_head is on the stack, so we can't use perf_event__free_terms()
(soon to be renamed to perf_event_terms__delete()), because it will
free the list_head as well.

[PATCH 12/13] perf data: Fix releasing event_class

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

From: Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com>

A new patch in libbabeltrace [1] reveals a object leak problem in
'perf data' CTF support: perf code never releases the event_class
which is allocated in add_event() and stored in evsel's private field.

If libbabeltrace has the above patch applied, leaking event_class
prevents the writer from being destroyed and flushing metadata. For
example:

  $ perf record ls
  perf.data
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]

  $ ls -l  ./out.ctf/metadata

The correct result should be:
  ...
  $ cat ./out.ctf/metadata
  /* CTF 1.8 */

  trace {
  [SNIP]

  $ ls -l  ./out.ctf/metadata
  -rw-r----- 1 w00229757 mm 2446 Jan 27 10:52 ./out.ctf/metadata

The full story is:

Patch [1] of babeltrace redesigns its reference counting scheme. In that
patch:

 * writer <- trace (bt_ctf_writer_create)
 * trace <- stream_class (bt_ctf_trace_add_stream_class)
 * stream_class <- event_class (bt_ctf_stream_class_add_event_class)
 ('<-' means 'is a parent of')

Holding of event_class causes reference count of corresponding 'writer'
to increase through parent chain. Perf expects that 'writer' is released
(so metadata is flushed) through bt_ctf_writer_put() in
ctf_writer__cleanup(). However, since it never releases event_class, the
reference of 'writer' won't be dropped, so bt_ctf_writer_put() won't
lead to the release of writer.

Before this CTF patch, !(writer <- trace). Even with event_class leaking,
the writer ends up being released.
