[PATCH v2 1/2] perf/test: Fix perf test 84 on s390

[Thomas Richter]

perf test '84: probe libc's inet_pton & backtrace it with ping'
fails on s390. Debugging revealed a changed stack trace for the
ping command using probes:

ping 35729 [002]  8006.365063: probe_libc:inet_pton: (3ff9603e7c0)
                  13e7c0 __GI___inet_pton+0x0 (/usr/lib64/libc.so.6)

                    5d4b main+0x139b (/usr/bin/ping)

The line ---> text_to_binary_address ...
is new. It was introduced with glibc version 2.36.7.2 released
with Fedora 37 for s390.

[PATCH v2 2/2] perf/test: Fix test case 89 for x86

[Thomas Richter]

From: Thomas Richter <richter@de.ibm.com>

perf test '89: probe libc's inet_pton & backtrace it with ping'
fails on x86. Debugging revealed a changed stack trace for the
ping command using probes:

ping 35729 [002]  8006.365063: probe_libc:inet_pton: (3ff9603e7c0)
                  12be50 __GI___inet_pton+0x0 (/usr/lib64/libc.so.6)
                  4fca main+0x139b (/usr/bin/ping)

The line getaddrinfo.... in the call stack is gone.
It was introduced with glibc version 2.36.8 released
with Fedora 37.

To make the test case more robust to glibc changes resulting in changed
call stacks, redesign the test completely.
Read the output lines from the perf probe of the ping command.
Create an array of expected patterns. Each array entry specifies a
pattern that may appear in the perf probe output.
Check that each probe output line is matched in the expected
patterns array. If there is no match it is an error.
However not every pattern in the expected pattern array must be hit
as there may be redundant entries.

This scheme does not test the sequence of the call stack entries
but the patterns itself are long and complicated enough.
Also each perf probe output line has to be in the expected pattern
array for the test to pass

Output before on x86
 # ./perf test 89
 89: probe libc's inet_pton & backtrace it with ping   : FAILED!
 #

Output after on x86
 # ./perf test 89
 89: probe libc's inet_pton & backtrace it with ping   : Ok

Humm, I'm testing and invetigating this issue and by looking at the
backtraces I see that it is just on the first entry that the getaddrinfo
isn't present, i.e. now there are two inet_pton() calls, one of them
doesn't come from getaddrinfo():

[root@quaco ~]# cat /tmp/perf.script.IUC
ping 623883 [006] 265438.471610: probe_libc:inet_pton: (7f32bcf314c0)
	          1314c0 __GI___inet_pton+0x0 (/usr/lib64/libc.so.6)
	           29510 __libc_start_call_main+0x80 (/usr/lib64/libc.so.6)

ping 623883 [006] 265438.471664: probe_libc:inet_pton: (7f32bcf314c0)
	          1314c0 __GI___inet_pton+0x0 (/usr/lib64/libc.so.6)
	           fa6c6 getaddrinfo+0x126 (/usr/lib64/libc.so.6)
	            491e [unknown] (/usr/bin/ping)

The above is the temp file for the perf script output from the collected
perf.data file See the second entry? Its as we expect:

[root@quaco ~]# cat /tmp/expected.aT6
ping[][0-9 \.:]+probe_libc:inet_pton: \([[:xdigit:]]+\)
.*inet_pton\+0x[[:xdigit:]]+[[:space:]]\(/usr/lib64/libc.so.6|inlined\)$
getaddrinfo\+0x[[:xdigit:]]+[[:space:]]\(/usr/lib64/libc.so.6\)$
.*(\+0x[[:xdigit:]]+|\[unknown\])[[:space:]]\(.*/bin/ping.*\)$
[root@quaco ~]#

But if I just ignore that first one and match against the second event
instance:

[root@quaco ~]# perf test inet_pton
 90: probe libc's inet_pton & backtrace it with ping                 : Ok
[root@quaco ~]# perf test -v inet_pton
 90: probe libc's inet_pton & backtrace it with ping                 :

491e n (/usr/bin/ping)
test child finished with 0
---- end ----
probe libc's inet_pton & backtrace it with ping: Ok
[root@quaco ~]#

So, can you try with the following patch in your s/390 system?

I wish 'perf script' had a --skip option that allowed us to ask for just
the second event, not having that I did a trick with tac + grep -m1 -B :-)

We can try to revisit your approach for the next merge window, as at
this point, for 6.2 we want for fixes to be as minimal as possible.

It works for me on Fedora 36, glibc 2.35-20.fc36, where it was failing,
I'll now try on a arm64 machine, thanks.

Works as well there, see the full commit log so far:

Subject: [PATCH 1/1] perf test record_probe_libc_inet_pton: Fix failure due to
 extra inet_pton() backtrace in glibc >= 2.35

Starting with glibc 2.35 there are extra inet_pton() calls when doing a
IPv6 ping as in one of the 'perf test' entry, which makes it fail:

  # perf test inet_pton
  89: probe libc's inet_pton & backtrace it with ping   : FAILED!
  #

If we look at what this script is expecting (commenting out the removal
of the temporary files in it):

  # cat /tmp/expected.aT6
  ping[][0-9 \.:]+probe_libc:inet_pton: \([[:xdigit:]]+\)
  .*inet_pton\+0x[[:xdigit:]]+[[:space:]]\(/usr/lib64/libc.so.6|inlined\)$

  .*(\+0x[[:xdigit:]]+|\[unknown\])[[:space:]]\(.*/bin/ping.*\)$
  #

And looking at what we are getting out of 'perf script', to match with
the above:

  # cat /tmp/perf.script.IUC
  ping 623883 [006] 265438.471610: probe_libc:inet_pton: (7f32bcf314c0)
                    1314c0 __GI___inet_pton+0x0 (/usr/lib64/libc.so.6)
                     29510 __libc_start_call_main+0x80 (/usr/lib64/libc.so.6)

  ping 623883 [006] 265438.471664: probe_libc:inet_pton: (7f32bcf314c0)
                    1314c0 __GI___inet_pton+0x0 (/usr/lib64/libc.so.6)
                     fa6c6 getaddrinfo+0x126 (/usr/lib64/libc.so.6)
                      491e [unknown] (/usr/bin/ping)
  #

We see that its just the first call to inet_pton() that didn't came thru
getaddrinfo(), so if we ignore the first the script matches what it
expects, testing that using 'perf probe' + 'perf record' + 'perf script'
with callchains on userspace targets is producing the expected results.

Since we don't have a 'perf script --skip' to help us here, use tac +
grep to do that, resulting in a one liner that makes this script work on
both older glibc versions as well as with 2.35.

With it, on fedora 36, x86, glibc 2.35:

  # perf test inet_pton
   90: probe libc's inet_pton & backtrace it with ping                 : Ok
  # perf test -v inet_pton
   90: probe libc's inet_pton & backtrace it with ping                 :
  --- start ---
  test child forked, pid 627197
  ping 627220 1 267956.962402: probe_libc:inet_pton_1: (7f488bf314c0)
  1314c0 __GI___inet_pton+0x0 (/usr/lib64/libc.so.6)

  491e n (/usr/bin/ping)
  test child finished with 0
  ---- end ----
  probe libc's inet_pton & backtrace it with ping: Ok
  #

And on Ubuntu on a Libre Computer ROC-RK3399-PC arm64 system:

Before this patch it works (see that the script used has no 'tac' to
remove the first event):

  root@roc-rk3399-pc:~# dpkg -l | grep libc-bin
  ii  libc-bin                                2.35-0ubuntu3.1                         arm64        GNU C Library: Binaries

   86: probe libc's inet_pton & backtrace it with ping                 :

  test child finished with 0
  ---- end ----
  probe libc's inet_pton & backtrace it with ping: Ok
  root@roc-rk3399-pc:~#

And after it continues to work:

  root@roc-rk3399-pc:~# grep -w tac ~acme/libexec/perf-core/tests/shell/record+probe_libc_inet_pton.sh
  	perf script -i $perf_data | tac | grep -m1 ^ping -B9 | tac > $perf_script

Thanks Arnaldo,

your patch also works on my s390 system. I applied patch 1/2 which is
necessary and then your change:

  # ./perf test  85
  85: probe libc's inet_pton & backtrace it with ping                 : FAILED!
  # git am your-patch
  # ./perf test  85
  85: probe libc's inet_pton & backtrace it with ping                 : Ok
  #

So for patch 2/2 your have my

Yes that would be good to make this test case more rebust.
