  kprobes: Convert kprobe_exceptions_notify to use NOKPROBE_SYMBOL (2017-03-14 15:17:40 -0300)

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

New features:

- Add PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES so that the kernel can record information
  required to associate samples to namespaces, helping in container
  problem characterization.

  Now the 'perf record has a --namespace' option to ask for such info,
  and when present, it can be used, initially, via a new sort order,
  'cgroup_id', allowing histogram entry bucketization by a (device, inode)
  based cgroup identifier (Hari Bathini)

- Add --next option to 'perf sched timehist', showing what is the next
  thread to run (Brendan Gregg)

Fixes:

- Fix segfault with basic block 'cycles' sort dimension (Changbin Du)

- Add c2c to command-list.txt, making it appear in the 'perf help'
  output (Changbin Du)

- Fix zeroing of 'abs_path' variable in the perf hists browser switch
  file code (Changbin Du)

- Hide tips messages when -q/--quiet is given to 'perf report' (Namhyung Kim)

Infrastructure:

- Use ref_reloc_sym + offset to setup kretprobes (Naveen Rao)

- Ignore generated files pmu-events/{jevents,pmu-events.c} for git (Changbin Du)

Documentation:

- Document +field style argument support for --field option (Changbin Du)

- Clarify 'perf c2c --stats' help message (Namhyung Kim)

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.

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

Simplify and separate out the ftrace README scanning logic into a
separate helper. This is used subsequently to scan for all patterns of
interest and to cache the result.

Since we are only interested in availability of probe argument type x,
we will only scan for that.

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

We indicate support for accepting sym+offset with kretprobes through a
line in ftrace README. Parse the same to identify support and choose the
appropriate format for kprobe_events.

As an example, without this perf patch, but with the ftrace changes:

  naveen@ubuntu:~/linux/tools/perf$ sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/README | grep kretprobe
  place (kretprobe): [<module>:]<symbol>[+<offset>]|<memaddr>
  naveen@ubuntu:~/linux/tools/perf$
  naveen@ubuntu:~/linux/tools/perf$ sudo ./perf probe -v do_open%return
  probe-definition(0): do_open%return
  symbol:do_open file:(null) line:0 offset:0 return:1 lazy:(null)
  0 arguments
  Looking at the vmlinux_path (8 entries long)
  Using /boot/vmlinux for symbols
  Open Debuginfo file: /boot/vmlinux
  Try to find probe point from debuginfo.
  Matched function: do_open [2d0c7d8]
  Probe point found: do_open+0
  Matched function: do_open [35d76b5]
  found inline addr: 0xc0000000004ba984
  Failed to find "do_open%return",
   because do_open is an inlined function and has no return point.
  An error occurred in debuginfo analysis (-22).
  Trying to use symbols.
  Opening /sys/kernel/debug/tracing//kprobe_events write=1
  Writing event: r:probe/do_open do_open+0
  Writing event: r:probe/do_open_1 do_open+0
  Added new events:
    probe:do_open        (on do_open%return)
    probe:do_open_1      (on do_open%return)

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

	  perf record -e probe:do_open_1 -aR sleep 1

  naveen@ubuntu:~/linux/tools/perf$ sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/kprobes/list

  c0000000004433d0  r  do_open+0x0    [DISABLED]

And after this patch (and the subsequent powerpc patch):

  naveen@ubuntu:~/linux/tools/perf$ sudo ./perf probe -v do_open%return

  symbol:do_open file:(null) line:0 offset:0 return:1 lazy:(null)

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

perf now uses an offset from _text/_stext for kretprobes if the kernel
supports it, rather than the actual function name. As such, let's choose
the LEP for powerpc ABIv2 so as to ensure the probe gets hit. Do it only
if the kernel supports specifying offsets with kretprobes.
