  uprobes: Default UPROBES_EVENTS to Y (2017-03-16 12:42:02 -0300)

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

New features:

- Add 'brstackinsn' field in 'perf script' to reuse the x86 instruction
  decoder used in the Intel PT code to study hot paths to samples (Andi Kleen)

Kernel:

- Default UPROBES_EVENTS to Y (Alexei Starovoitov)

- Fix check for kretprobe offset within function entry (Naveen N. Rao)

Infrastructure:

- Introduce util func is_sdt_event() (Ravi Bangoria)

- Make perf_event__synthesize_mmap_events() scale on older kernels where
  reading /proc/pid/maps is way slower than reading /proc/pid/task/pid/maps (Stephane Eranian)

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.

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.

[PATCH 2/6] trace/kprobes: Fix check for kretprobe offset within function entry

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

From: "Naveen N. Rao" <naveen.n.rao@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

perf specifies an offset from _text and since this offset is fed
directly into the arch-specific helper, kprobes tracer rejects
installation of kretprobes through perf. Fix this by looking up the
actual offset from a function for the specified sym+offset.

Refactor and reuse existing routines to limit code duplication -- we
repurpose kprobe_addr() for determining final kprobe address and we
split out the function entry offset determination into a separate
generic helper.

Before patch:

[PATCH 3/6] perf tools: Make perf_event__synthesize_mmap_events() scale

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

From: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com>

This patch significantly improves the execution time of
perf_event__synthesize_mmap_events() when running perf record on systems
where processes have lots of threads.

It just happens that cat /proc/pid/maps support uses a O(N^2) algorithm to
generate each map line in the maps file.  If you have 1000 threads, then you
have necessarily 1000 stacks.  For each vma, you need to check if it
corresponds to a thread's stack.  With a large number of threads, this can take
a very long time. I have seen latencies >> 10mn.

As of today, perf does not use the fact that a mapping is a stack, therefore we
can work around the issue by using /proc/pid/tasks/pid/maps.  This entry does
not try to map a vma to stack and is thus much faster with no loss of
functonality.

The proc-map-timeout logic is kept in case users still want some upper limit.

In V2, we fix the file path from /proc/pid/tasks/pid/maps to actual
/proc/pid/task/pid/maps, tasks -> task.  Thanks Arnaldo for catching this.

Committer note:

This problem seems to have been elliminated in the kernel since commit :
b18cb64ead40 ("fs/proc: Stop trying to report thread stacks").

[PATCH 4/6] tools headers: Sync {tools/,}arch/x86/include/asm/cpufeatures.h

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

We use those in tools/arch/x86/lib/mem{cpy,set}_64.S, in turn used
in the 'perf bench mem' benchmarks.

The changes in the following csets are not relevant for this usecase,
but lets sync it to silence the diff detector in the tools build system:

[PATCH 5/6] perf script: Add 'brstackinsn' for branch stacks

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

From: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

Implement printing instruction sequences as hex dump for branch stacks.

This relies on the x86 instruction decoder used by the PT decoder to
find the lengths of instructions to dump them individually.

This is good enough for pattern matching.

This allows to study hot paths for individual samples, together with
branch misprediction and cycle count / IPC information if available (on
Skylake systems).

  % perf record -b ...
  % perf script -F brstackinsn
  ...
    read_hpet+67:
          ffffffff9905b843        insn: 74 ea                     # PRED
          ffffffff9905b82f        insn: 85 c9
          ffffffff9905b831        insn: 74 12
          ffffffff9905b833        insn: f3 90
          ffffffff9905b835        insn: 48 8b 0f
          ffffffff9905b838        insn: 48 89 ca
          ffffffff9905b83b        insn: 48 c1 ea 20
          ffffffff9905b83f        insn: 39 f2
          ffffffff9905b841        insn: 89 d0
          ffffffff9905b843        insn: 74 ea                     # PRED

Only works when no special branch filters are specified.

Occasionally the path does not reach up to the sample IP, as the LBRs
may be frozen before executing a final jump. In this case we print a
special message.

The instruction dumper piggy backs on the existing infrastructure from
the IP PT decoder.

An earlier iteration of this patch relied on a disassembler, but this
version only uses the existing instruction decoder.

Committer note:

Added hint about how to get suitable perf.data files for use with
'-F brstackinsm':

  $ perf record usleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.018 MB perf.data (8 samples) ]
  $
  $ perf script -F brstackinsn
  Display of branch stack assembler requested, but non all-branch filter set
  Hint: run 'perf record -b ...'
  $

[PATCH 6/6] uprobes: Default UPROBES_EVENTS to Y

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

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

As it is already turned on by most distros, so just flip the default to
Y.
