perf-probe: issue with latest fedora kernel

perf-probe: issue with latest fedora kernel

[Francis Moreau]

Hello,

I'm trying to use perf-probe(1) with the latest F14 kernel
(2.6.35.9-64.fc14.x86_64).

I also installed kernel-debug-debuginfo-2.6.35.9-64.fc14.x86_64 which
contains the running vmlinux image AFAICT.

I added it to the buildid cache:

$ perf buildid-cache -v -a /usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/2.6.35.9-64.fc14.x86_64.debug/vmlinux
Adding 4d89e23415d8ab491cfc8ef8aa67764b91cc6787 /usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/2.6.35.9-64.fc14.x86_64.debug/vmlinux: OK

But when running perf-probe(1) like the following:

  $ perf probe schedule cpu
  Failed to find path of kernel moduleFailed to open debuginfo file.
  Error: Failed to add events. (-2)

it fails.

One strange thing is that when perf read the running kernel build id, it
get: 882b1b53eb1d65320e8fa710273aa8493896c4.

Could anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong ?

Thanks

Can you try using:

$ perf probe -k /usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/2.6.35.9-64.fc14.x86_64.debug/vmlinux <rest of the probe definition>

So that it tries it directly instead of looking into the buildid cache?

I'll check if perf probe actually looks in the buildid cache, till then,
please try specifying it directly,

Regards,

Well that still fail:

$ perf probe -k /usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/2.6.35.9-64.fc14.x86_64.debug/vmlinux schedule cpu
Failed to find path of kernel moduleFailed to open debuginfo file.
  Error: Failed to add events. (-2)

but that's not really suprising if perf checks that the running kernel
build-id is the same as the one in:
/usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/2.6.35.9-64.fc14.x86_64.debug/vmlinux

It really looks like something is broken in the F14 kernel-debuginfo
package.

Hmm, curious. I'll check it after setting up Fedora 14.
Thank you for reporting :-)

Looks like a standard path is missing...

What about adding the one above since it looks like Fedora is installing
their debug kernel images at this place ?

BTW, it seems to me that perf-probe(1) is ignoring the kernel path given
by '-k' switch.

Looking at kernel_get_module_path(), it only considers the standard
paths given by vmlinux_path[].

I would have seen this, no ?

Hmm, could you put these changes into an else block?
Because this part is only for the kernel vmlinux, and
not for modules.

BTW, the condition seems wrong, it should have been '<= 0', that is if
an error occured or no symbol was loaded.

This one should be '<= 0' too, since if no symbol is loaded, the image
is probably wrong.

Ok, I'll do that.

Please create a ticket at:

http://bugzilla.redhat.com

More specifically:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora

Mention this changeset:

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/acme/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=34d2ea084a3bce03d73ffe64350db2813f07260c

It will make the -k argument work.

There is another that will look automatically at this location, but I
haven't merged yet, will post here when done.

Hmm, I don't think that any patches recently posted in response of this
thread will solve the problem.

The primarily concern here, is that the running kernel has a different
build-id than the debug image installed by the corresponding debug
package.

I think it's a distrib issue, hence my question about Fedora report.

Yes, that is just for fedora people who can easily check
how to reproduce and make sure the problem is here.
Then they can try to solve the problem until the issue
is resolved.

So? The problem for me is that:

1. looks at /sys/kernel/notes and gets the running kernel build-id
2. fails to locate a vmlinux with a matching build-id
3. ignores the -k specified path
4. The mentioned patch makes it consider the -k specified path

So it should look at the -k specified path and make sure that it has a
matching build-id, if it has, problem solved, no?

All seems to work, right?

There are two problems here:

on the 'report' header, as we didn't collect "cycles", but
"probe:icmp_rcv" events, that is another fix that needs to be backported to
fedora, but a minor one.

Also 'perf probe -L' should look use
/usr/src/debug/kernel-2.6.35.fc14/linux-2.6.35.x86_64 as a prefix to look for
sources.

That can be found using:

I.e. using the DW_AT_comp_dir attribute in the DW_TAG_compile_unit DWARF tags,
Masami?

All this with:

[root@felicio linux-2.6.35.x86_64]# type perf
perf is hashed (/usr/bin/perf)
[root@felicio linux-2.6.35.x86_64]# rpm -qf /usr/bin/perf
perf-2.6.35.9-64.fc14.x86_64
[root@felicio linux-2.6.35.x86_64]# 

I.e. the perf binary shipping in fedora, without the recent patches.

To finish the session:

[root@felicio linux-2.6.35.x86_64]# perf probe --list
  probe:icmp_rcv       (on icmp_rcv:26@ipv4/icmp.c)
[root@felicio linux-2.6.35.x86_64]# perf probe --del icmp_rcv
Remove event: probe:icmp_rcv
[root@felicio linux-2.6.35.x86_64]# perf probe --list
[root@felicio linux-2.6.35.x86_64]# 

And if you run it in verbose mode we can see what was the vmlinux file used:

[root@felicio linux-2.6.35.x86_64]# perf probe -v icmp_rcv:26
probe-definition(0): icmp_rcv:26 
symbol:icmp_rcv file:(null) line:26 offset:0 return:0 lazy:(null)

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

	perf record -e probe:icmp_rcv -aR sleep 1

[root@felicio linux-2.6.35.x86_64]#

It was /usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/2.6.35.9-64.fc14.x86_64/vmlinux, that is present on:

[root@felicio linux-2.6.35.x86_64]# rpm -qf /usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/2.6.35.9-64.fc14.x86_64/vmlinux
kernel-debuginfo-2.6.35.9-64.fc14.x86_64

And...

[root@felicio linux-2.6.35.x86_64]# perf buildid-list
882b1b53eb1d653200e8fa7100273aa8493896c4 [kernel.kallsyms]

This is the build-id of the running kernel, and:

[root@felicio linux-2.6.35.x86_64]# perf buildid-cache -v --add /usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/2.6.35.9-64.fc14.x86_64/vmlinux

[root@felicio linux-2.6.35.x86_64]# 

The running kernel build-id matches the build-id in the vmlinux file found in
the kernel-debuginfo package.

So can you please give us the versions for the kernel, kernel-debuginfo package?
Perhaps you have a new debuginfo package and is running an older kernel?

Use the perf buildid-list trick to get the build-id in readable format.

Thanks,

I just tried it, works for me.

I added the sequence of commands, perhaps he can find where the problem

But as I said, there's no matching build-id. I understand that -k is
currently broken but suppose that it works, which vmlinux should I use
then ?

$ rpm -qa | grep kernel
kernel-debuginfo-common-x86_64-2.6.35.9-64.fc14.x86_64
kernel-debug-debuginfo-2.6.35.9-64.fc14.x86_64
kernel-headers-2.6.35.6-48.fc14.x86_64
kernel-devel-2.6.35.9-64.fc14.x86_64
kernel-2.6.35.9-64.fc14.x86_64

$ rpm -ql kernel-debug-debuginfo-2.6.35.9-64.fc14.x86_64 | grep vmlinux
/usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/2.6.35.9-64.fc14.x86_64.debug/vmlinux

So the debug package installed the kernel image with debug info into

   /usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/2.6.35.9-64.fc14.x86_64.debug

directory. Please note that this path can't be found by perf without the
recent patches.

To check the build id of this image, I do:

$ perf buildid-cache -v -a /usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/2.6.35.9-64.fc14.x86_64.debug/vmlinux
Adding 4d89e23415d8ab491cfc8ef8aa67764b91cc6787 ...

This is the only way I know to dump the debug id of an object.

The buildid of the running kernel:

$ perf buildid-list
882b1b53eb1d653200e8fa7100273aa8493896c4 [kernel.kallsyms]

So they both don't match.

In that case how perf can find the right vmlinux in your system since it
needs to be patched to find the vmlinux image in the
/usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/%s.debug directory ?

Ah, that's interesting...

In the path you're using, you loose the '.debug', therefore this image
doesn't seem to belong to kernel-debug-debuginfo-2.6.35.9-64.fc14.x86_64.

And that explains how perf can find the debug kernel image.

Bzzt, here is the problem: you're not using the right package,
kernel-debug-debuginfo is for the kernel-debug package, a kernel built
with lots of CONFIG_DEBUG_ options turned on, please install the right
package, which is kernel-debuginfo-2.6.35.9-64.fc14.x86_64

Right, this matches what is in the kernel in the kernel-debug package.

Please install the right debuginfo package and try again

It already supports DW_AT_comp_dir on upstream kernel,
see find_line_range() in utils/probe-finder.c ;-)

I happily stand corrected, was using the f14 one :-)

It looks like adding probe with lazy matching pattern does not:

   $ cd /dev
   $ perf probe -n -a "icmp.c;sk=*"
   Failed to open net/ipv4/icmp.c: Operation not permitted
     Error: Failed to add events. (-2)
   $ cd /usr/src/debug/kernel-2.6.35.fc14/linux-2.6.35.x86_64/
   $ perf probe -n -a "icmp.c;sk=*"
   Add new events:
     probe:icmp_push_reply (on @cmp.c)
     probe:icmp_reply     (on @cmp.c)
     probe:icmp_reply_1   (on @cmp.c)
     probe:icmp_send      (on @cmp.c)
     probe:icmp_send_1    (on @cmp.c)
     probe:icmp_error     (on @cmp.c)
     probe:icmp_error_1   (on @cmp.c)
     probe:icmp_error_2   (on @cmp.c)
     probe:icmp_error_3   (on @cmp.c)
   
   You can now use it on all perf tools, such as:
   
   	perf record -e probe:icmp_error_3 -aR sleep 1

Below is a quick and dirty fix (sorry, I don't have any time to make it
better for now), also note that the note of the file (icmp.c) reported
is screwed...
