[PATCH 1/8] perf c2c: Fix c2c report for empty numa node

[Jiri Olsa]

From: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com>

Ravi Bangoria reported that we fail with empty
numa node with following message:

  $ lscpu
  NUMA node0 CPU(s):
  NUMA node1 CPU(s):   0-4

  $ sudo ./perf c2c report
  node/cpu topology bugFailed setup nodes

Fixing this by detecting empty node and keeping
its cpu set empty.

[PATCH 2/8] perf tools: Add error path into hist_entry__init

Adding error path into hist_entry__init to unify error

[PATCH 3/8] perf hist: Fix memory leak of srcline

We can't allocate he->srcline unconditionaly, only when
new hist_entry is created. Moving he->srcline allocation
into hist_entry__init function.

[PATCH 5/8] perf tools: Get precise_ip from the pmu config

[Jiri Olsa]

Getting precise_ip field from the perf_pmu::max_precise
config read from sysfs. If it's not available falling
back to current detection function.

This fixes perf c2c usage of 'P' modifier on memory events,
where the standard detection fails, because of way too many
new perf_event_attr features added recently.

Use PYTHON_MOD to distinguish python perf module build
to exclude pmu.o object call being compiled in. There's
the flex/bison (and other) object dependencies, that
we'd need to teach setup.py about.

max_precise depends on the event.  This won't work for all
events. For example only instructions and cycles support
ppp

The previous method handled it by event.

I'm getting  precise_ip=3 on mem-* events as well, that's why I
was fixing this.. now it's not working for any event

> 
> The previous method handled it by event.

how about we use empty template with just type/config
of the original event, like in the change below,
that way we eliminate unsupported features failing
the probing.. maybe we could use oldest attr version

also if precise_ip is event based, we shouldn't use the
caps/max_precise then

I don't think it means anything for mem-*

There's some support for it on Goldmont plus for other events,
but it doesn't support mem-*. On big core it's only
for instructions and cycles, all implemented with the same
event. All other PEBS events only have two levels
switching between the two IPs.

ok, so how about this, it's the change I posted merged with the patch

Currently we probe for precise_ip with user specified
perf_event_attr, which might fail because of unsupported
kernel features, which would get disabled during the
open time anyway.

Switching the probe to take place on simple event,
only configured with users type/config, so the
following record sets proper precise_ip:

  # perf record -e cycles:P ls
  # perf evlist -v
  cycles:P: size: 112, ... precise_ip: 3, ...

Still seems like a hack. Even though I don't know of a case that
would break now. But it would be better to have the precise probing
in the open retry loop, instead of trying to reinvent it here.

right, I guess we could just set precise_ip hard to 3 for :P
and add fallback part for the precise_ip in perf_evsel__open

[PATCH] perf tools: Move precise_ip detection into perf_evsel__open

After discussion with Andi, moving the precise_ip detection
for maximum precise config (via :P modifier or for default
cycles event) into perf_evsel__open code.

The current detection code in perf_event_attr__set_max_precise_ip
function is tricky, because precise_ip config is specific for
given event and it currently checks only hw cycles.

We now check for valid precise_ip value right after failing
sys_perf_event_open for specific event, before any of the
perf_event_attr fallback code gets executed. This way we get
the proper config in perf_event_attr together with allowed
precise_ip settings.

We can see that code activity with -vv, like:

  $ perf record -vv ls
  ...
  ------------------------------------------------------------
  perf_event_attr:
    size                             112
    { sample_period, sample_freq }   4000
    ...
    precise_ip                       3
    sample_id_all                    1
    exclude_guest                    1

    ksymbol                          1
  ------------------------------------------------------------

The patch is ok, but I think the naming of this function is too generic,
so I'm renaming it to:

static int perf_evsel__open_adjust_precise_ip(struct perf_evsel *evsel,
					      pid_t pid, int cpu, int group_fd,
					      unsigned long flags)

Ok?

The perf_evsel__open() code is already complex with that fallback
mechanism, this is just one more way of fallbacking when asking the
kernel for something that may fail.

In fact what happens if the precise_ip that is being asked _is_
supported but sys_perf_event_open() fails because some other
perf_event_attr attribute that is set is not supported? 

I see, it gets it back restored to what the user asked so that the
standard fallback is tried, ok, I'll apply with just the rename for this
function,

Thanks,

it's outside the scope of standard feature fallback code,
so we will try it for any possible fallback variant, so:

we will try all possible precise_ip (3,2,1,0) and they will
all fail because of the unsupported attribute - so we will
restore the precise_ip back and continue in standard fallback
code that will eventualy switch that attribute off

[PATCH 6/8] perf tools: Probe for precise_ip with simple attr

[Jiri Olsa]

Currently we probe for precise_ip with user specified
perf_event_attr, which might fail because of unsupported
kernel features, which would get disabled during the
open time anyway.

Switching the probe to take place on simple hw cycles,
so the following record sets proper precise_ip:

  # perf record -e cycles:P ls
  # perf evlist -v
  cycles:P: size: 112, ... precise_ip: 3, ...

[PATCH 7/8] perf tools: Fix double free in perf_data__close

[Jiri Olsa]

We can't call perf_data__close and subsequently
perf_session__delete, because it will call
perf_data__close again and cause double free
for data->file.path.

  $ perf report -i .
  incompatible file format (rerun with -v to learn more)
  free(): double free detected in tcache 2
  Aborted (core dumped)

In fact we don't need to call perf_data__close
at all, because at the time the got out_close
is reached, session->data is already initialized,
so the perf_data__close call will be triggered
from perf_session__delete.
