perf maps: Get map before returning in maps__find_by_name

Finding a map is done under a lock, returning the map without a
reference count means it can be removed without notice and causing
uses after free. Grab a reference count to the map within the lock
region and return this. Fix up locations that need a map__put
following this. Also fix some reference counted pointer comparisons.

perf probe-event: Use function to add missing maps lock

Switch kernel_get_module_map from loop macro maps__for_each_entry to
maps__for_each_map function that takes a callback. The function holds
the maps lock, which should be held during iteration.

perf symbol: Remove symbol_name_rb_node

Most perf commands want to sort symbols by name and this is done via
an invasive rbtree that on 64-bit systems costs 24 bytes. Sorting the
symbols in a DSO by name is optional and not done by default, however,
if sorting is requested the 24 bytes is allocated for every
symbol.

This change removes the rbtree and uses a sorted array of symbol
pointers instead (costing 8 bytes per symbol). As the array is created
on demand then there are further memory savings. The complexity of
sorting the array and using the rbtree are the same.

To support going to the next symbol, the index of the current symbol
needs to be passed around as a pair with the current symbol. This
requires some API changes.

perf map: Add accessor for dso

Later changes will add reference count checking for struct map, with
dso being the most frequently accessed variable. Add an accessor so
that the reference count check is only necessary in one place.

Additional changes:
- add a dso variable to avoid repeated map__dso calls.
- in builtin-mem.c dump_raw_samples, code only partially tested for
dso == NULL. Make the possibility of NULL consistent.
- in thread.c thread__memcpy fix use of spaces and use tabs.

perf maps: Remove rb_node from struct map

struct map is reference counted, having it also be a node in an
red-black tree complicates the reference counting. Switch to having a
map_rb_node which is a red-block tree node but points at the reference
counted struct map. This reference is responsible for a single reference
count.

Committer notes:

Fixed up tools/perf/util/unwind-libunwind-local.c to use map_rb_node as
well.

perf probe: Update the exit error codes in function try_to_find_probe_trace_event

try_to_find_probe_trace_events() uses return error code as ENOENT in two
places.

First place is after open_debuginfo() when opening debuginfo fails and
secondly, after when not finding the probe point.

This function is invoked during BPF load and there are other exit points
in this code path which returns ENOENT. This makes it difficult to
understand the exact reason for exit.

Patches changes the exit code from ENOENT to:

- ENODATA when it fails to find debuginfo

- ENODEV when it fails to find probe point

perf probe: Fix ppc64 'perf probe add events failed' case

Because of commit bf794bf52a80c627 ("powerpc/kprobes: Fix kallsyms
lookup across powerpc ABIv1 and ABIv2"), in ppc64 ABIv1, our perf
command eliminates the need to use the prefix "." at the symbol name.

But when the command "perf probe -a schedule" is executed on ppc64
ABIv1, it obtains two symbol address information through /proc/kallsyms,
for example:

cat /proc/kallsyms | grep -w schedule
c000000000657020 T .schedule
c000000000d4fdb8 D schedule

The symbol "D schedule" is not a function symbol, and perf will print:
"p:probe/schedule _text+13958584"Failed to write event: Invalid argument

Therefore, when searching symbols from map and adding probe point for
them, a symbol type check is added. If the type of symbol is not a
function, skip it.

perf probe: Fix add event failure when running 32-bit perf in a 64-bit kernel

The "address" member of "struct probe_trace_point" uses long data type.
If kernel is 64-bit and perf program is 32-bit, size of "address"
variable is 32 bits.

As a result, upper 32 bits of address read from kernel are truncated, an
error occurs during address comparison in kprobe_warn_out_range().

Before:

# perf probe -a schedule
schedule is out of .text, skip it.
Error: Failed to add events.

Solution:
Change data type of "address" variable to u64 and change corresponding
address printing and value assignment.

After:

# perf.new.new probe -a schedule
Added new event:
probe:schedule (on schedule)

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

perf record -e probe:schedule -aR sleep 1

# perf probe -l
probe:schedule (on schedule@kernel/sched/core.c)
# perf record -e probe:schedule -aR sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]

perf probe: Add --bootconfig to output definition in bootconfig format

Now the boot-time tracing supports kprobes events and that must be
written in bootconfig file in the following format.

ftrace.event.kprobes.<EVENT_NAME>.probes = <PROBE-DEF>

'perf probe' already supports --definition (-D) action to show probe
definitions, but the format is for tracefs:

[p|r][:EVENT_NAME] <PROBE-DEF>

This patch adds the --bootconfig option for -D action so that it outputs
the probe definitions in bootconfig format. E.g.

$ perf probe --bootconfig -D "path_lookupat:7 err:s32 s:string"
ftrace.event.kprobes.path_lookupat_L7.probe = 'path_lookupat.isra.0+309 err_s32=%ax:s32 s_string=+0(%r13):string'

perf probe: Support probes on init functions for offline kernel

'perf probe' internally checks the probe target is in the text area in
post-process (after analyzing debuginfo). But it fails if the probe
target is in the "inittext".

This is a good limitation for the online kernel because such functions
have gone after booting. However, for using it for boot-time tracing,
user may want to put a probe on init functions.

This skips the post checking process if the target is offline kenrel so
that user can get the probe definition on the init functions.

Without this patch:

$ perf probe -k ./build-x86_64/vmlinux -D do_mount_root:10
Probe point 'do_mount_root:10' not found.
Error: Failed to add events.

With this patch:

$ perf probe -k ./build-x86_64/vmlinux -D do_mount_root:10

perf probe: Provide more detail with relocation warning

When run as normal user with default sysctl kernel.kptr_restrict=0
and kernel.perf_event_paranoid=2, perf probe fails with:

$ ./perf probe move_page_tables
Relocated base symbol is not found!

The warning message is not much informative. The reason perf fails
is because /proc/kallsyms is restricted by perf_event_paranoid=2
for normal user and thus perf fails to read relocated address of
the base symbol.

Tweaking kptr_restrict and perf_event_paranoid can change the
behavior of perf probe. Also, running as root or privileged user
works too. Add these details in the warning message.

Plus, kmap->ref_reloc_sym might not be always set even if
host_machine is initialized. Above is the example of the same.
Remove that comment.

perf probe: Fix kretprobe issue caused by GCC bug

Perf failed to add a kretprobe event with debuginfo of vmlinux which is
compiled by gcc with -fpatchable-function-entry option enabled. The
same issue with kernel module.

Issue:

# perf probe -v 'kernel_clone%return $retval'

Error: Failed to add events. Reason: Invalid argument (Code: -22)

The entry address of kernel_clone converted by debuginfo is _text+599624
(0x92648), which is consistent with the value of DW_AT_low_pc attribute.
But the symbolic address of kernel_clone from /proc/kallsyms is
ffff800010092640.

This issue is found on arm64, -fpatchable-function-entry=2 is enabled when
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS=y;
Just as objdump displayed the assembler contents of kernel_clone,
GCC generate 2 NOPs at the beginning of each function.

kprobe_on_func_entry detects that (_text+599624) is not the entry address
of the function, which leads to the failure of adding kretprobe event.

kprobe_on_func_entry
->_kprobe_addr
->kallsyms_lookup_size_offset
->arch_kprobe_on_func_entry // FALSE

The cause of the issue is that the first instruction in the compile unit
indicated by DW_AT_low_pc does not include NOPs.
This issue exists in all gcc versions that support
-fpatchable-function-entry option.

I have reported it to the GCC community:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=98776

Currently arm64 and PA-RISC may enable fpatchable-function-entry option.
The kernel compiled with clang does not have this issue.

FIX:

This GCC issue only cause the registration failure of the kretprobe event
which doesn't need debuginfo. So, stop using debuginfo for retprobe.
map will be used to query the probe function address.

perf probe: Fall back to debuginfod query if debuginfo and source not found locally

Since 'perf probe' heavily depends on debuginfo, debuginfod gives us
many benefits on the 'perf probe' command on remote machine.

Especially, this will be helpful for the embedded devices which will not
have enough storage, or boot with a cross-build kernel whose source code
is in the host machine.

This will work as similar to commit c7a14fdcb3fa7736 ("perf build-ids:
Fall back to debuginfod query if debuginfo not found")

Tested with:

(host) $ cd PATH/TO/KBUILD/DIR/
(host) $ debuginfod -F .

perf probe: Fix to adjust symbol address with correct reloc_sym address

'perf probe' uses ref_reloc_sym to adjust symbol offset address from
debuginfo address or ref_reloc_sym based address, but that is misusing
reloc_sym->addr and reloc_sym->unrelocated_addr. If map is not
relocated (map->reloc == 0), we can use reloc_sym->addr as unrelocated
address instead of reloc_sym->unrelocated_addr.

This usually does not happen. If we have a non-stripped ELF binary, we
will use it for map and debuginfo, if not, we use only kallsyms without
debuginfo. Thus, the map is always relocated (ELF and DWARF binary) or
not relocated (kallsyms).

However, if we allow the combination of debuginfo and kallsyms based map
(like using debuginfod), we have to check the map->reloc and choose the
collect address of reloc_sym.

# 3de2bf9d 10-Jul-2020 Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org>

perf probe: Warn if the target function is a GNU indirect function

Warn if the probe target function is a GNU indirect function (GNU_IFUNC)
because it may not be what the user wants to probe.

The GNU indirect function ( https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/GNU_IFUNC )
is the dynamic symbol solved at runtime. An IFUNC function is a selector
which is invoked from the ELF loader, but the symbol address of the
function which will be modified by the IFUNC is the same as the IFUNC in
the symbol table. This can confuse users trying to probe such functions.

For example, memcpy is an IFUNC.

probe_libc:memcpy (on __new_memcpy_ifunc@x86_64/multiarch/memcpy.c in /usr/lib64/libc-2.30.so)

the probe is put on an IFUNC.

perf 1742 [000] 26201.715632: probe_libc:memcpy: (7fdaa53824c0)
7fdaa53824c0 __new_memcpy_ifunc+0x0 (inlined)
7fdaa5d4a980 elf_machine_rela+0x6c0 (inlined)
7fdaa5d4a980 elf_dynamic_do_Rela+0x6c0 (inlined)
7fdaa5d4a980 _dl_relocate_object+0x6c0 (/usr/lib64/ld-2.30.so)
7fdaa5d42155 dl_main+0x1cc5 (/usr/lib64/ld-2.30.so)
7fdaa5d5831a _dl_sysdep_start+0x54a (/usr/lib64/ld-2.30.so)
7fdaa5d3ffeb _dl_start_final+0x25b (inlined)

7fdaa5d3f117 .annobin_rtld.c+0x7 (inlined)

And the event is invoked from the ELF loader instead of the target
program's main code.

Moreover, at this moment, we can not probe on the function which will
be selected by the IFUNC, because it is determined at runtime. But
uprobe will be prepared before running the target binary.

Thus, I decided to warn user when 'perf probe' detects that the probe
point is on an GNU IFUNC symbol. Someone who wants to probe an IFUNC
symbol to debug the IFUNC function can ignore this warning.

Committer notes:

I.e., this warning will be emitted if the probe point is an IFUNC:

"Warning: The probe function (%s) is a GNU indirect function.\n"
"Consider identifying the final function used at run time and set the probe directly on that.\n"

Complete set of steps:

(which has the same symbol name and address) from it.

With this patch:

# perf probe -x /lib64/libc-2.30.so -a "memcpy arg1=%di"

Perhaps it has been optimized out.
Use -V with the --range option to show '%di' location range.

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

perf probe: Check address correctness by map instead of _etext

Since commit 03db8b583d1c ("perf tools: Fix
maps__find_symbol_by_name()") introduced map address range check in
maps__find_symbol_by_name(), we can not get "_etext" from kernel map
because _etext is placed on the edge of the kernel .text section (=
kernel map in perf.)

To fix this issue, this checks the address correctness by map address
range information (map->start and map->end) instead of using _etext
address.

This can cause an error if the target inlined function is embedded in
both __init function and normal function.

For exaample, request_resource() is a normal function but also embedded
in __init reserve_setup(). In this case, the probe point in
reserve_setup() must be skipped.

However, without this fix, it failes to setup all probe points:

# ./perf probe -v request_resource
probe-definition(0): request_resource
symbol:request_resource file:(null) line:0 offset:0 return:0 lazy:(null)
0 arguments

perf probe: Fix to check blacklist address correctly

Fix to check kprobe blacklist address correctly with relocated address
by adjusting debuginfo address.

Since the address in the debuginfo is same as objdump, it is different
from relocated kernel address with KASLR. Thus, 'perf probe' always
misses to catch the blacklisted addresses.

Without this patch, 'perf probe' can not detect the blacklist addresses
on a KASLR enabled kernel.

# perf probe kprobe_dispatcher
Failed to write event: Invalid argument
Error: Failed to add events.
#

With this patch, it correctly shows the error message.

# perf probe kprobe_dispatcher
kprobe_dispatcher is blacklisted function, skip it.

perf maps: Merge 'struct maps' with 'struct map_groups'

And pick the shortest name: 'struct maps'.

The split existed because we used to have two groups of maps, one for
functions and one for variables, but that only complicated things,
sometimes we needed to figure out what was at some address and then had
to first try it on the functions group and if that failed, fall back to
the variables one.

That split is long gone, so for quite a while we had only one struct
maps per struct map_groups, simplify things by combining those structs.

First patch is the minimum needed to merge both, follow up patches will
rename 'thread->mg' to 'thread->maps', etc.

perf probe: Trace a magic number if variable is not found

Trace a magic number as immediate value if the target variable is not
found at some probe points which is based on one probe event.

This feature is good for the case if you trace a source code line with
some local variables, which is compiled into several instructions and
some of the variables are optimized out on some instructions.

Even if so, with this feature, perf probe trace a magic number instead
of such disappeared variables and fold those probes on one event.

# 72363540 18-Nov-2019 Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org>

perf probe: Support multiprobe event

Support multiprobe event if the event is based on function and lines and
kernel supports it. In this case, perf probe creates the first probe
with an event, and tries to append following probes on that event, since
those probes must be on the same source code line.

Before this patch;

# perf probe -a vfs_read:18
Added new events:
probe:vfs_read_L18 (on vfs_read:18)
probe:vfs_read_L18_1 (on vfs_read:18)

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

perf record -e probe:vfs_read_L18_1 -aR sleep 1

#

After this patch (on multiprobe supported kernel)
# perf probe -a vfs_read:18
Added new events:
probe:vfs_read_L18 (on vfs_read:18)
probe:vfs_read_L18 (on vfs_read:18)

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

perf record -e probe:vfs_read_L18 -aR sleep 1

#

Committer testing:

On a kernel that doesn't support multiprobe events, after this patch:

# uname -a

<function>_L<line_number>. Note that this is only for the new event
which is defined by the line number of function (except for line 0).

If there is another event on same line, you have to use
"-f" option. In that case, the new event has "_1" suffix.

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

But if we omit the line number or 0th line, it will
have no suffix.

# perf probe -a kernel_read:0

perf probe: Set pev->nargs to zero after freeing pev->args entries

So that, when perf_add_probe_events() fails, like in:

# perf probe icmp_rcv:64 "type=icmph->type"
Failed to find 'icmph' in this function.
Error: Failed to add events.
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
#

We don't segfault.

clear_perf_probe_event() was zeroing the whole pev, and since the switch
to zfree() for the members in the pev, that memset() was removed, which
left nargs with its original value, in the above case 1.

With the memset the same pev could be passed to clear_perf_probe_event()
multiple times, since all it would have would be zeroes, and free()
accepts zero, the loop would not happen and we would just memset it
again to zeroes.

Without it we got that segfault, so zero nargs to keep it like it was,
next cset will avoid calling clear_perf_probe_event() for the same pevs
in case of failure.

tools perf: Move from sane_ctype.h obtained from git to the Linux's original

We got the sane_ctype.h headers from git and kept using it so far, but
since that code originally came from the kernel sources to the git
sources, perhaps its better to just use the one in the kernel, so that
we can leverage tools/perf/check_headers.sh to be notified when our copy
gets out of sync, i.e. when fixes or goodies are added to the code we've
copied.

This will help with things like tools/lib/string.c where we want to have
more things in common with the kernel, such as strim(), skip_spaces(),
etc so as to go on removing the things that we have in tools/perf/util/
and instead using the code in the kernel, indirectly and removing things
like EXPORT_SYMBOL(), etc, getting notified when fixes and improvements
are made to the original code.

Hopefully this also should help with reducing the difference of code
hosted in tools/ to the one in the kernel proper.

perf-probe: Add user memory access attribute support

Add user memory access attribute for kprobe event arguments.
If a given 'local variable' is in user-space, User can
specify memory access method by '@user' suffix. This is
not only for string but also for data structure.

If we access a field of data structure in user memory from
kernel on some arch, it will fail. e.g.

perf probe -a "sched_setscheduler param->sched_priority"

This will fail to access the "param->sched_priority" because
the param is __user pointer. Instead, we can now specify
@user suffix for such argument.

perf probe -a "sched_setscheduler param->sched_priority@user"

Note that kernel memory access with "@user" must always fail
on any arch.

perf probe: Fix getting the kernel map

Since commit 4d99e4136580 ("perf machine: Workaround missing maps for
x86 PTI entry trampolines"), perf tools has been creating more than one
kernel map, however 'perf probe' assumed there could be only one.

Fix by using machine__kernel_map() to get the main kernel map.

perf probe: Clarify error message about not finding kernel modules debuginfo

'perf probe' supports using just the kernel module name, but that will
work only when the module is loaded, or using the full pathname to the
file with the DWARF debug info, but the warning was cryptic:

Before:

# perf probe -m cls_flower -L fl_change
Failed to find the path for cls_flower: No such file or directory
Error: Failed to show lines.
#

After:

# perf probe -m cls_flower -L fl_change
Module cls_flower is not loaded, please specify its full path name.
Error: Failed to show lines.
# perf probe -m /lib/modules/5.0.0-rc7+/kernel/net/sched/cls_flower.ko -L fl_change | head -7

Go over the tools/ files that are maintained in Arnaldo's tree and
fix common typos: half of them were in comments, the other half
in JSON files.

No change in functionality intended.

Committer notes:

This was split from a larger patch as there are code that is,
additionally, maintained outside the kernel tree, so to ease
cherry-picking and/or backporting, split this into multiple patches.

Just typos in comments, no need to backport, reducing the possibility of

perf symbols: Unify symbol maps

Remove the split of symbol tables for data (MAP__VARIABLE) and for
functions (MAP__FUNCTION), its unneeded and there were various places
doing two lookups to find a symbol, so simplify this.

We still will consider only the symbols that matched the filters in
place, i.e. see the (elf_(sec,sym)|symbol_type)__filter() routines in
the patch, just so that we consider only the same symbols as before,
to reduce the possibility of regressions.

All the tests on 50-something build environments, in varios versions
of lots of distros and cross build environments were performed without
build regressions, as usual with all pull requests the other tests were
also performed: 'perf test' and 'make -C tools/perf build-test'.

Also this was done at a great granularity so that regressions can be
bisected more easily.

user to specify versions directly like below.

=====
# ./perf probe -x /lib64/libc-2.25.so malloc_get_state\\@GLIBC_2.2.5
Added new event:

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

perf record -e probe_libc:malloc_get_state -aR sleep 1

=====

Or, you can use separators in source filename, e.g.

=====
# ./perf probe -x /opt/test/a.out foo+bar.c:3
Semantic error :There is non-digit character in offset.
Error: Command Parse Error.
=====

Usually "+" in source file cause parser error, but

=====
# ./perf probe -x /opt/test/a.out foo\\+bar.c:4
Added new event:
probe_a:main (on @foo+bar.c:4 in /opt/test/a.out)

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

perf record -e probe_a:main -aR sleep 1
=====

escaped "\+" allows you to specify that.

perf probe: Fix kprobe blacklist checking condition

The commit 9aaf5a5f479b ("perf probe: Check kprobes blacklist when
adding new events"), 'perf probe' supports checking the blacklist of the
fuctions which can not be probed. But the checking condition is wrong,
that the end_addr of the symbol which is the start_addr of the next
symbol can't be included.

Committer notes:

IOW make it match its kernel counterpart in kernel/kprobes.c:

bool within_kprobe_blacklist(unsigned long addr)

Teach buildid-cache how to add, remove, and update binary objects from

# 7598f8bc 21-Jun-2017 Björn Töpel <bjorn@kernel.org>

perf probe: Fix probe definition for inlined functions

In commit 613f050d68a8 ("perf probe: Fix to probe on gcc generated
functions in modules"), the offset from symbol is, incorrectly, added
to the trace point address. This leads to incorrect probe trace points
for inlined functions and when using relative line number on symbols.

Prior this patch:
$ perf probe -m nf_nat -D in_range
p:probe/in_range nf_nat:in_range.isra.9+0
$ perf probe -m i40e -D i40e_clean_rx_irq
p:probe/i40e_clean_rx_irq i40e:i40e_napi_poll+2212
$ perf probe -m i40e -D i40e_clean_rx_irq:16
p:probe/i40e_clean_rx_irq i40e:i40e_lan_xmit_frame+626

After:
$ perf probe -m nf_nat -D in_range
p:probe/in_range nf_nat:in_range.isra.9+0
$ perf probe -m i40e -D i40e_clean_rx_irq
p:probe/i40e_clean_rx_irq i40e:i40e_napi_poll+1106
$ perf probe -m i40e -D i40e_clean_rx_irq:16
p:probe/i40e_clean_rx_irq i40e:i40e_napi_poll+2665

Committer testing:

Using 'pfunct', a tool found in the 'dwarves' package [1], one can ask what are
the functions that while not being explicitely marked as inline, were inlined
by the compiler:

# pfunct --cc_inlined /lib/modules/4.12.0-rc4+/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e1000e/e1000e.ko | head
__ew32
e1000_regdump
e1000e_dump_ps_pages
e1000_desc_unused
e1000e_systim_to_hwtstamp
e1000e_rx_hwtstamp
e1000e_update_rdt_wa
e1000e_update_tdt_wa
e1000_put_txbuf
e1000_consume_page

Then ask 'perf probe' to produce the kprobe_tracer probe definitions for two of
them:

# perf probe -m e1000e -D e1000e_rx_hwtstamp
p:probe/e1000e_rx_hwtstamp e1000e:e1000_receive_skb+74

# perf probe -m e1000e -D e1000_consume_page
p:probe/e1000_consume_page e1000e:e1000_clean_jumbo_rx_irq+876
p:probe/e1000_consume_page_1 e1000e:e1000_clean_jumbo_rx_irq+1506
p:probe/e1000_consume_page_2 e1000e:e1000_clean_rx_irq_ps+1074

Now lets concentrate on the 'e1000_consume_page' one, that was inlined twice in
e1000_clean_jumbo_rx_irq(), lets see what readelf says about the DWARF tags for
that function:

$ readelf -wi /lib/modules/4.12.0-rc4+/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e1000e/e1000e.ko
<SNIP>
<1><13e27b>: Abbrev Number: 121 (DW_TAG_subprogram)
<13e27c> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0xa8945): e1000_clean_jumbo_rx_irq
<13e287> DW_AT_low_pc : 0x17a30
<3><13e6ef>: Abbrev Number: 119 (DW_TAG_inlined_subroutine)
<13e6f0> DW_AT_abstract_origin: <0x13ed2c>
<13e6f4> DW_AT_low_pc : 0x17be6
<SNIP>
<1><13ed2c>: Abbrev Number: 142 (DW_TAG_subprogram)
<13ed2e> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0xa54c3): e1000_consume_page

So, the first time in e1000_clean_jumbo_rx_irq() where e1000_consume_page() is
inlined is at PC 0x17be6, which subtracted from e1000_clean_jumbo_rx_irq()'s
address, gives us the offset we should use in the probe definition:

0x17be6 - 0x17a30 = 438

but above we have 876, which is twice as much.

Lets see the second inline expansion of e1000_consume_page() in
e1000_clean_jumbo_rx_irq():

<3><13e86e>: Abbrev Number: 119 (DW_TAG_inlined_subroutine)
<13e86f> DW_AT_abstract_origin: <0x13ed2c>
<13e873> DW_AT_low_pc : 0x17d21

0x17d21 - 0x17a30 = 753

So we where adding it at twice the offset from the containing function as we
should.

And then after this patch:

# perf probe -m e1000e -D e1000e_rx_hwtstamp
p:probe/e1000e_rx_hwtstamp e1000e:e1000_receive_skb+37

# perf probe -m e1000e -D e1000_consume_page
p:probe/e1000_consume_page e1000e:e1000_clean_jumbo_rx_irq+438
p:probe/e1000_consume_page_1 e1000e:e1000_clean_jumbo_rx_irq+753
p:probe/e1000_consume_page_2 e1000e:e1000_clean_jumbo_rx_irq+1353
#

Which matches the two first expansions and shows that because we were
doubling the offset it would spill over the next function:

readelf -sw /lib/modules/4.12.0-rc4+/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e1000e/e1000e.ko
673: 0000000000017a30 1626 FUNC LOCAL DEFAULT 2 e1000_clean_jumbo_rx_irq
674: 0000000000018090 2013 FUNC LOCAL DEFAULT 2 e1000_clean_rx_irq_ps

This is the 3rd inline expansion of e1000_consume_page() in
e1000_clean_jumbo_rx_irq():

<3><13ec77>: Abbrev Number: 119 (DW_TAG_inlined_subroutine)
<13ec78> DW_AT_abstract_origin: <0x13ed2c>
<13ec7c> DW_AT_low_pc : 0x17f79

0x17f79 - 0x17a30 = 1353

So:

0x17a30 + 2 * 1353 = 0x184c2

And:

0x184c2 - 0x18090 = 1074

Which explains the bogus third expansion for e1000_consume_page() to end up at:

p:probe/e1000_consume_page_2 e1000e:e1000_clean_rx_irq_ps+1074

All fixed now :-)

perf probe: Change MAX_CMDLEN

There are many SDT markers in powerpc whose uprobe definition goes
beyond current MAX_CMDLEN, especially when target filename is long and
sdt marker has long list of arguments. For example, definition of sdt
marker

method__compile__end: 8@17 8@9 8@10 -4@8 8@7 -4@6 8@5 -4@4 1@37(28)

from file

/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.91-2.b14.fc22.ppc64/jre/lib/ppc64/server/libjvm.so

is

p:sdt_hotspot/method__compile__end /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-\
1.8.0.91-2.b14.fc22.ppc64/jre/lib/ppc64/server/libjvm.so:0x4c4e00\
arg1=%gpr17:u64 arg2=%gpr9:u64 arg3=%gpr10:u64 arg4=%gpr8:s32\
arg5=%gpr7:u64 arg6=%gpr6:s32 arg7=%gpr5:u64 arg8=%gpr4:s32\
arg9=+37(%gpr28):u8

'perf probe' fails with segfault for such markers. As the uprobe_events
file accepts definitions up to 4094 characters(4096 - 2 (\n\0)),
increase value of MAX_CMDLEN match that.

perf probe: Fix to probe on gcc generated functions in modules

Fix to probe on gcc generated functions on modules. Since
probing on a module is based on its symbol name, it should
be adjusted on actual symbols.

E.g. without this fix, perf probe shows probe definition
on non-exist symbol as below.

$ perf probe -m build-x86_64/net/netfilter/nf_nat.ko -F in_range*
in_range.isra.12
$ perf probe -m build-x86_64/net/netfilter/nf_nat.ko -D in_range
p:probe/in_range nf_nat:in_range+0

With this fix, perf probe correctly shows a probe on
gcc-generated symbol.

$ perf probe -m build-x86_64/net/netfilter/nf_nat.ko -D in_range
p:probe/in_range nf_nat:in_range.isra.12+0

This also fixes same problem on online module as below.

$ perf probe -m i915 -D assert_plane
p:probe/assert_plane i915:assert_plane.constprop.134+0

perf probe: Fix to probe on gcc generated symbols for offline kernel

Fix perf-probe to show probe definition on gcc generated symbols for
offline kernel (including cross-arch kernel image).

gcc sometimes optimizes functions and generate new symbols with suffixes
such as ".constprop.N" or ".isra.N" etc. Since those symbol names are
not recorded in DWARF, we have to find correct generated symbols from
offline ELF binary to probe on it (kallsyms doesn't correct it). For
online kernel or uprobes we don't need it because those are rebased on
_text, or a section relative address.

E.g. Without this:

$ perf probe -k build-arm/vmlinux -F __slab_alloc*
__slab_alloc.constprop.9
$ perf probe -k build-arm/vmlinux -D __slab_alloc
p:probe/__slab_alloc __slab_alloc+0

If you put above definition on target machine, it should fail
because there is no __slab_alloc in kallsyms.

With this fix, perf probe shows correct probe definition on
__slab_alloc.constprop.9:

$ perf probe -k build-arm/vmlinux -D __slab_alloc
p:probe/__slab_alloc __slab_alloc.constprop.9+0

perf probe: Fix --funcs to show correct symbols for offline module

Fix --funcs (-F) option to show correct symbols for offline module.
Since previous perf-probe uses machine__findnew_module_map() for offline
module, even if user passes a module file (with full path) which is for
other architecture, perf-probe always tries to load symbol map for
current kernel module.

This fix uses dso__new_map() to load the map from given binary as same
as a map for user applications.

# 1f2ed153 02-Jan-2017 Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org>

perf probe: Fix to get correct modname from elf header

Since 'perf probe' supports cross-arch probes, it is possible to analyze
different arch kernel image which has different bits-per-long.

In that case, it fails to get the module name because it uses the
MOD_NAME_OFFSET macro based on the host machine bits-per-long, instead
of the target arch bits-per-long.

This fixes above issue by changing modname-offset based on the target
archs bit width. This is ok because linux kernel uses LP64 model on
64bit arch.

E.g. without this (on x86_64, and target module is arm32):

$ perf probe -m build-arm/fs/configfs/configfs.ko -D configfs_lookup
p:probe/configfs_lookup :configfs_lookup+0
^-Here is an empty module name.

With this fix, you can see correct module name:

$ perf probe -m build-arm/fs/configfs/configfs.ko -D configfs_lookup
p:probe/configfs_lookup configfs:configfs_lookup+0

perf probe: Fix to cut off incompatible chars from group name

Cut off the characters which can not use for group name of uprobes
when making it based on executable filename.

For example, if the exec name is libstdc++.so, without this fix
perf probe generates "probe_libstdc++" as the group name, but
it is failed to set because '+' can not be used for group name.

With this fix perf accepts only alphabet, number or '_' for group
name, thus perf generates "probe_libstdc" as the group name.

E.g. with this fix, you can see the event name has no "+".

perf probe ppc64le: Fix probe location when using DWARF

Powerpc has Global Entry Point and Local Entry Point for functions. LEP
catches call from both the GEP and the LEP. Symbol table of ELF contains
GEP and Offset from which we can calculate LEP, but debuginfo does not
have LEP info.

Currently, perf prioritize symbol table over dwarf to probe on LEP for
ppc64le. But when user tries to probe with function parameter, we fall
back to using dwarf(i.e. GEP) and when function called via LEP, probe
will never hit.

For example:

$ objdump -d vmlinux
...
do_sys_open():
c0000000002eb4a0: e8 00 4c 3c addis r2,r12,232
c0000000002eb4a4: 60 00 42 38 addi r2,r2,96
c0000000002eb4a8: a6 02 08 7c mflr r0
c0000000002eb4ac: d0 ff 41 fb std r26,-48(r1)

$ sudo ./perf probe do_sys_open
$ sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
p:probe/do_sys_open _text+3060904

$ sudo ./perf probe 'do_sys_open filename:string'
$ sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
p:probe/do_sys_open _text+3060896 filename_string=+0(%gpr4):string

For second case, perf probed on GEP. So when function will be called via
LEP, probe won't hit.

$ sudo ./perf record -a -e probe:do_sys_open ls
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.195 MB perf.data ]

To resolve this issue, let's not prioritize symbol table, let perf
decide what it wants to use. Perf is already converting GEP to LEP when
it uses symbol table. When perf uses debuginfo, let it find LEP offset
form symbol table. This way we fall back to probe on LEP for all cases.

After patch:

$ sudo ./perf probe 'do_sys_open filename:string'
$ sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
p:probe/do_sys_open _text+3060904 filename_string=+0(%gpr4):string

$ sudo ./perf record -a -e probe:do_sys_open ls
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.197 MB perf.data (11 samples) ]

From the technical point of view, this adds a filter chech in map__load
and if there is a filter, it returns -2 (filter-out), instead of -1
(error), and perf-probe checks it and change message.

E.g. without this fix:

# perf probe -F rt_sp*
no symbols found in [kernel.kallsyms], maybe install a debug package?
Failed to load symbols in kernel

With this fix:

# perf probe -F rt_sp*
no symbols passed the given filter.
Failed to find symbols matched to "rt_sp*"
Error: Failed to show functions.

perf probe: Support a special SDT probe format

Support a special SDT probe format which can omit the '%' prefix only if
the SDT group name starts with "sdt_". So, for example both of
"%sdt_libc:setjump" and "sdt_libc:setjump" are acceptable for perf probe
--add.

E.g. without this:

# perf probe -a sdt_libc:setjmp
Semantic error :There is non-digit char in line number.
...

With this:

# perf probe -a sdt_libc:setjmp
Added new event:
sdt_libc:setjmp (on %setjmp in /usr/lib64/libc-2.20.so)

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

perf record -e sdt_libc:setjmp -aR sleep 1

perf probe: Support @BUILDID or @FILE suffix for SDT events

Support @BUILDID or @FILE suffix for SDT events. This allows perf to add
probes on SDTs/pre-cached events on given FILE or the file which has
given BUILDID (also, this complements BUILDID.)

For example, both gcc and libstdc++ has same SDTs as below. If you
would like to add a probe on sdt_libstdcxx:catch on gcc, you can do as
below.

----
# perf list sdt | tail -n 6
sdt_libstdcxx:catch@/usr/bin/gcc(0cc207fc4b27) [SDT event]
sdt_libstdcxx:catch@/usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.20(91c7a88fdf49)
sdt_libstdcxx:rethrow@/usr/bin/gcc(0cc207fc4b27) [SDT event]
sdt_libstdcxx:rethrow@/usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.20(91c7a88fdf49)
sdt_libstdcxx:throw@/usr/bin/gcc(0cc207fc4b27) [SDT event]
sdt_libstdcxx:throw@/usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.20(91c7a88fdf49)
# perf probe -a %sdt_libstdcxx:catch@0cc
Added new event:
sdt_libstdcxx:catch (on %catch in /usr/bin/gcc)

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

perf record -e sdt_libstdcxx:catch -aR sleep 1
----

Committer note:

Doing the full sequence of steps to get the results above:

With a clean build-id cache:

[root@jouet ~]# rm -rf ~/.debug/
[root@jouet ~]# perf list sdt

List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e):

[root@jouet ~]#

No events whatsoever, then, we can add all events in gcc to the build-id
cache, doing a --add + --dry-run:

[root@jouet ~]# perf probe --dry-run --cache -x /usr/bin/gcc --add %sdt_libstdcxx:\*
Added new events:
sdt_libstdcxx:throw (on %* in /usr/bin/gcc)
sdt_libstdcxx:rethrow (on %* in /usr/bin/gcc)
sdt_libstdcxx:catch (on %* in /usr/bin/gcc)

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

perf record -e sdt_libstdcxx:catch -aR sleep 1

[root@jouet ~]#

It really didn't add any events, it just cached them:

[root@jouet ~]# perf probe -l
[root@jouet ~]#

We can see that it was cached as:

[root@jouet ~]# ls -la ~/.debug/usr/bin/gcc/9a0730e2bcc6d2a2003d21ac46807e8ee6bcb7c2/
total 976

#sdt_libstdcxx:*=%*
[root@jouet ~]#

Ok, now we can use 'perf probe' to refer to those cached entries as:

Humm, nope, doing as above we end up with:

[root@jouet ~]# perf probe -a %sdt_libstdcxx:catch
Semantic error :* is bad for event name -it must follow C symbol-naming rule.
Error: Failed to add events.
[root@jouet ~]#

But it worked at some point, lets try not using --dry-run:

Resetting everything:

# rm -rf ~/.debug/
# perf probe -d *:*
# perf probe -l
# perf list sdt

List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e):

#

Ok, now it cached everything, even things we haven't asked it to
(sdt_libgcc:unwind):

[root@jouet ~]# perf probe -x /usr/bin/gcc --add %sdt_libstdcxx:\*
Added new events:
sdt_libstdcxx:throw (on %* in /usr/bin/gcc)
sdt_libstdcxx:rethrow (on %* in /usr/bin/gcc)
sdt_libstdcxx:catch (on %* in /usr/bin/gcc)

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

perf record -e sdt_libstdcxx:catch -aR sleep 1

[root@jouet ~]# perf list sdt

List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e):

sdt_libgcc:unwind [SDT event]
sdt_libstdcxx:catch [SDT event]
sdt_libstdcxx:rethrow [SDT event]
sdt_libstdcxx:throw [SDT event]
[root@jouet ~]#

And we have the events in place:

[root@jouet ~]# perf probe -l
sdt_libstdcxx:catch (on execute_cfa_program+1551@../../../libgcc/unwind-dw2.c in /usr/bin/gcc)
sdt_libstdcxx:rethrow (on d_print_subexpr+280@libsupc++/cp-demangle.c in /usr/bin/gcc)
sdt_libstdcxx:throw (on d_print_subexpr+93@libsupc++/cp-demangle.c in /usr/bin/gcc)
[root@jouet ~]#

And trying to use them at least has 'perf trace --event sdt*:*' working.

Then, if we try to add the ones in libstdc++:

[root@jouet ~]# perf probe -x /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 -a %sdt_libstdcxx:\*
Error: event "catch" already exists.
Hint: Remove existing event by 'perf probe -d'
or force duplicates by 'perf probe -f'
or set 'force=yes' in BPF source.
Error: Failed to add events.
[root@jouet ~]#

Doesn't work, dups, but at least this served to, unbeknownst to the user, add
the SDT probes in /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6!

[root@jouet ~]# perf list sdt

List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e):

sdt_libgcc:unwind [SDT event]
sdt_libstdcxx:catch@/usr/bin/gcc(9a0730e2bcc6) [SDT event]
sdt_libstdcxx:catch@/usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.22(ef2b7066559a) [SDT event]
sdt_libstdcxx:rethrow@/usr/bin/gcc(9a0730e2bcc6) [SDT event]
sdt_libstdcxx:rethrow@/usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.22(ef2b7066559a) [SDT event]
sdt_libstdcxx:throw@/usr/bin/gcc(9a0730e2bcc6) [SDT event]
sdt_libstdcxx:throw@/usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.22(ef2b7066559a) [SDT event]
[root@jouet ~]#

Now we should be able to get to the original cset comment, if we remove all
SDTs events in place, not from the cache, from the kernel, where it was set up as:

[root@jouet ~]# ls -la /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sdt_libstdcxx/
total 0
drwxr-xr-x. 5 root root 0 Jul 13 22:00 .
drwxr-xr-x. 80 root root 0 Jul 13 21:56 ..
drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 0 Jul 13 22:00 catch

drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 0 Jul 13 22:00 rethrow
drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 0 Jul 13 22:00 throw
[root@jouet ~]#

[root@jouet ~]# head -2 /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sdt_libstdcxx/throw/format
name: throw
ID: 2059
[root@jouet ~]#

Now to remove it:

[root@jouet ~]# perf probe -d sdt_libstdc*:*
Removed event: sdt_libstdcxx:catch
Removed event: sdt_libstdcxx:rethrow
Removed event: sdt_libstdcxx:throw
[root@jouet ~]#

Which caused:

[root@jouet ~]# ls -la /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sdt_libstdcxx/
ls: cannot access '/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sdt_libstdcxx/': No such file or directory
[root@jouet ~]#

Ok, now we can do:

[root@jouet ~]# perf list sdt_libstdcxx:catch

List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e):

sdt_libstdcxx:catch@/usr/bin/gcc(9a0730e2bcc6) [SDT event]
sdt_libstdcxx:catch@/usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.22(ef2b7066559a) [SDT event]
[root@jouet ~]#

So, these are not really 'pre-defined events', i.e. we can't use them with
'perf record --event':

[root@jouet ~]# perf record --event sdt_libstdcxx:catch*
event syntax error: 'sdt_libstdcxx:catch*'
\___ unknown tracepoint

Error: File /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sdt_libstdcxx/catch* not found.
Hint: Perhaps this kernel misses some CONFIG_ setting to enable this feature?.
<SNIP>
[root@jouet ~]#

To have it really pre-defined we must use perf probe to get its definition from
the cache and set it up in the kernel, creating the tracepoint to _then_ use it
with 'perf record --event':

[root@jouet ~]# perf probe -a sdt_libstdcxx:catch
Semantic error :There is non-digit char in line number.
<SNIP>

Oops, there is another gotcha here, we need that pesky '%' character:

[root@jouet ~]# perf probe -a %sdt_libstdcxx:catch
Added new events:
sdt_libstdcxx:catch (on %catch in /usr/bin/gcc)
sdt_libstdcxx:catch_1 (on %catch in /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.22)

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

perf record -e sdt_libstdcxx:catch_1 -aR sleep 1

[root@jouet ~]#

But then we added _two_ events, one with the name we expected, the other one
with a _ added, when doing the analysis we need to pay attention to who maps to
who.

And here is where we get to the point of this patch, which is to be able to
disambiguate those definitions for 'catch' in the build-id cache, but first we need
remove those events we just added:

[root@jouet ~]# perf probe -d %sdt_libstdcxx:catch

Oops, that didn't remove anything, we need to _remove_ that % char in this case:

[root@jouet ~]# perf probe -d sdt_libstdcxx:catch
Removed event: sdt_libstdcxx:catch

And we need to remove the other event added, i.e. I forgot to add a * at the end:

[root@jouet ~]# perf probe -d sdt_libstdcxx:catch*
Removed event: sdt_libstdcxx:catch_1
[root@jouet ~]#

Ok, disambiguating it using what is in this patch:

[root@jouet ~]# perf list sdt_libstdcxx:catch

List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e):

sdt_libstdcxx:catch@/usr/bin/gcc(9a0730e2bcc6) [SDT event]
sdt_libstdcxx:catch@/usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.22(ef2b7066559a) [SDT event]
[root@jouet ~]#
[root@jouet ~]# perf probe -a %sdt_libstdcxx:catch@9a07
Added new event:
sdt_libstdcxx:catch (on %catch in /usr/bin/gcc)

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

perf record -e sdt_libstdcxx:catch -aR sleep 1

[root@jouet ~]# perf probe -l
sdt_libstdcxx:catch (on execute_cfa_program+1551@../../../libgcc/unwind-dw2.c in /usr/bin/gcc)
[root@jouet ~]#

Yeah, it works! But we need to try and simplify this :-)

Update: Some aspects of this simplification take place in the following
patches.

tools: Introduce str_error_r()

The tools so far have been using the strerror_r() GNU variant, that
returns a string, be it the buffer passed or something else.

But that, besides being tricky in cases where we expect that the
function using strerror_r() returns the error formatted in a provided
buffer (we have to check if it returned something else and copy that
instead), breaks the build on systems not using glibc, like Alpine
Linux, where musl libc is used.

So, introduce yet another wrapper, str_error_r(), that has the GNU
interface, but uses the portable XSI variant of strerror_r(), so that
users rest asured that the provided buffer is used and it is what is
returned.

perf symbols: Fix kallsyms perf test on ppc64le

ppc64le functions have a Global Entry Point (GEP) and a Local Entry
Point (LEP). While placing a probe, we always prefer the LEP since it
catches function calls through both the GEP and the LEP. In order to do
this, we fixup the function entry points during elf symbol table lookup
to point to the LEPs. This works, but breaks 'perf test kallsyms' since
the symbols loaded from the symbol table (pointing to the LEP) do not
match the symbols in kallsyms.

To fix this, we do not adjust all the symbols during symbol table load.
Instead, we note down st_other in a newly introduced arch-specific
member of perf symbol structure, and later use this to adjust the probe
trace point.

perf probe: Fix module probe issue if no dwarf support

Perf is not able to register probe in kernel module when dwarf supprt
is not there(and so it goes for symtab). Perf passes full path of
module where only module name is required which is causing the problem.
This patch fixes this issue.

perf probe: Fix offline module name missmatch issue

Perf can add a probe on kernel module which has not been loaded yet.

The current implementation finds the module name from path. But if the
filename is different from the actual module name then perf fails to
register a probe while loading module because of mismatch in the names.

For example, samples/kobject/kobject-example.ko is loaded as
kobject_example.

Before applying patch:

$ sudo ./perf probe -m /linux/samples/kobject/kobject-example.ko foo_show
Added new event:
probe:foo_show (on foo_show in kobject-example)

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

perf record -e probe:foo_show -aR sleep 1

$./perf report --stdio -F overhead,comm,dso,sym

__attribute__((section("inlines=no;func=SyS_dup?"), used))

int func(void *ctx)
{
return 1;
}

char _license[] __attribute__((section("license"), used)) = "GPL";
int _version __attribute__((section("version"), used)) = 0x40300;

[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.013 MB perf.data ]
# ./perf evlist

After changing "inlines=no" to "inlines=yes":

# ./perf record -e ./test_probe_glob.c ls /
...
[ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.013 MB perf.data ]
# ./perf evlist
perf_bpf_probe:func_3
perf_bpf_probe:func_2
perf_bpf_probe:func_1
perf_bpf_probe:func

Then test 'force':

Use following program:

# cat test_probe_force.c
__attribute__((section("func=sys_write"), used))

int funca(void *ctx)
{
return 1;
}

__attribute__((section("force=yes;func=sys_write"), used))

int funcb(void *ctx)
{
return 1;
}

char _license[] __attribute__((section("license"), used)) = "GPL";
int _version __attribute__((section("version"), used)) = 0x40300;
#

# perf record -e ./test_probe_force.c usleep 1
Error: event "func" already exists.
Hint: Remove existing event by 'perf probe -d'
or force duplicates by 'perf probe -f'
or set 'force=yes' in BPF source.
event syntax error: './test_probe_force.c'
\___ Probe point exist. Try 'perf probe -d "*"' and set 'force=yes'

(add -v to see detail)
...

Then replace 'force=no' to 'force=yes':

# vim test_probe_force.c

perf probe: Cleanup find_perf_probe_point_from_map to reduce redundancy

In find_perf_probe_point_from_map(), the 'ret' variable is initialized
with -ENOENT but overwritten by the return code of
kernel_get_symbol_address_by_name(), and after that it is re-initialized
with -ENOENT again.

Setting ret=-ENOENT twice looks a bit redundant. This avoids the
overwriting and just returns -ENOENT if some error happens to simplify
the code.

perf probe: Fix a segfault bug in debuginfo_cache

perf probe --list will get a segfault if the first kprobe event is on a
module and the second or latter one is on the kernel.

e.g.
----
# ./perf probe -q -m pcspkr pcspkr_event
# ./perf probe -q vfs_read
# ./perf probe -l
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
----

This is because the debuginfo_cache fails to handle NULL module name,
which causes segfault on strcmp. (Note that strcmp("something", NULL)
always causes segfault)

To fix this debuginfo_cache__open always translates the NULL module name
to "kernel" (this is correct, because NULL module name means opening the
debuginfo for the kernel)

----
# ./perf probe -l
probe:pcspkr_event (on pcspkr_event@drivers/input/misc/pcspkr.c
in pcspkr)

perf probe: Show correct source lines of probes on kmodules

Perf probe always failed to find appropriate line numbers because of
failing to find .text start address offset from debuginfo.

e.g.
----
# ./perf probe -m pcspkr pcspkr_event:5
Added new events:
probe:pcspkr_event (on pcspkr_event:5 in pcspkr)
probe:pcspkr_event_1 (on pcspkr_event:5 in pcspkr)

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

perf record -e probe:pcspkr_event_1 -aR sleep 1

# ./perf probe -l
Failed to find debug information for address ffffffffa031f006
Failed to find debug information for address ffffffffa031f016
probe:pcspkr_event (on pcspkr_event+6 in pcspkr)
probe:pcspkr_event_1 (on pcspkr_event+22 in pcspkr)
----

This fixes the above issue as below.
1. Get the relative address of the symbol in .text by using
map->start.
2. Adjust the address by adding the offset of .text section
in the kernel module binary.

With this fix, perf probe -l shows lines correctly.

perf probe: Fix to remove dot suffix from second or latter events

Fix to remove dot suffix (e.g. .const, .isra) from the second or latter
events which has suffix numbers.

Since the previous commit 35a23ff928b0 ("perf probe: Cut off the gcc
optimization postfixes from function name") didn't care about the suffix
numbered events, therefore we'll have an error when we add additional
events on the same dot suffix functions.

We have map_groups__find_by_name() to look at the list of modules that
are in place for a given machine, so use it instead of traversing the
machine dso list, which also includes DSOs for userspace.

When merging the user and kernel DSO lists a bug was introduced where
'perf probe' stopped being able to add probes to modules using its short
name:

# perf probe -m usbnet --add usbnet_start_xmit
usbnet_start_xmit is out of .text, skip it.

With this fix it works again:

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

perf probe: Link trace_probe_event into perf_probe_event

This patch drops struct __event_package structure. Instead, it adds a
'struct trace_probe_event' pointer to 'struct perf_probe_event'.

The trace_probe_event information gives further patches a chance to
access actual probe points and actual arguments.

Using them, 'perf probe' can get the whole list of added probes and
print them at once.

Other users like the upcoming bpf_loader will be able to attach one bpf
program to different probing points of an inline function (which has
multiple probing points) and glob functions.

Moreover, by reading the arguments information, bpf code for reading
those arguments can be generated.

perf probe: Support probing at absolute address

It should be useful to allow 'perf probe' probe at absolute offset of a
target. For example, when (u)probing at a instruction of a shared object
in a embedded system where debuginfo is not avaliable but we know the
offset of that instruction by manually digging.

This patch enables following perf probe command syntax:

# perf probe 0xffffffff811e6615

And

# perf probe /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc-2.19.so 0xeb860

In the above example, we don't need a anchor symbol, so it is possible
to compute absolute addresses using other methods and then use 'perf
probe' to create the probing points.

v1 -> v2:
Drop the leading '+' in cmdline;
Allow uprobing at offset 0x0;
Improve 'perf probe -l' result when uprobe at area without debuginfo.

v2 -> v3:
Split bugfix to a separated patch.

Test result:

# perf probe 0xffffffff8119d175 %ax
# perf probe sys_write %ax
# perf probe /lib64/libc-2.18.so 0x0 %ax

This patch fixes a bug that, when offset is provided but function is

Probing at 0x0 is possible and useful when lib.bin is not a normal

An error occurred in debuginfo analysis (-2).
Error: Failed to add events. Reason: No such file or directory (Code: -2)

The reason is caused by libdw that, if libdw is statically linked, it
can't load libebl_{arch}.so reliable.

In this case it is still possible to get the address from
/proc/kalksyms. However, perf tries that only when libdw returns
-EBADF.

This patch gives it another chance to utilize symbol table, even if
libdw returns an error code other than -EBADF.

perf record -e probe:sys_epoll_pwait -aR sleep 1

Although libdw returns an error (Failed to get call frame), perf tries
symbol table and finally gets correct address.

perf probe: Fix failure to probe events on arm

Fix failure to probe events on arm, the problem was introduced by commit
5a51fcd1f30c ("perf probe: Skip kernel symbols which is out of .text").

For some architectures, the '_etext' label is not in the .text section
(in the .notes section for arm/arm64). Labels out of the .text section
are not loaded as symbols and we get a zero value when looking up its
addresses, which causes all events to be wrongly skipped.

This patch skips checking the text address range when failing to get the
address of '_etext' and thus fixes the problem.

The problem can be reproduced on arm as follows:

# perf probe --add='generic_perform_write'
generic_perform_write+0 is out of .text, skip it.
Probe point 'generic_perform_write' not found.
Error: Failed to add events.

After this patch:

# perf probe --add='generic_perform_write'
Added new event:
probe:generic_perform_write (on generic_perform_write)

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

perf record -e probe:generic_perform_write -aR sleep 1

perf probe: Speed up perf probe --list by caching debuginfo

Speed up the "perf probe --list" by caching the last used debuginfo.
perf probe --list always open and load debuginfo for each entry of probe
list. This takes very a long time.

E.g. with vfs_* events (total 96 probes)

[root@localhost perf]# time ./perf probe -l &> /dev/null

real 0m25.376s
user 0m24.381s
sys 0m1.012s

To solve this issue, this adds debuginfo_cache to cache the
last used debuginfo on memory.

With this fix, the perf-probe --list significantly improves
its speed.

[root@localhost perf]# time ./perf probe -l &> /dev/null

real 0m0.161s

perf probe: Show usage even if the last event is skipped

When the last part of converted events are blacklisted or out-of-text,
those are skipped and perf probe doesn't show usage examples. This
fixes it to show the example even if the last part of event list is
skipped.

E.g. without this patch, events are added, but suddenly end:

# perf probe vfs_*
vfs_caches_init_early is out of .text, skip it.
vfs_caches_init is out of .text, skip it.
Added new events:
probe:vfs_fallocate (on vfs_*)
probe:vfs_open (on vfs_*)
...
probe:vfs_dentry_acceptable (on vfs_*)
probe:vfs_load_quota_inode (on vfs_*)
#

With this fix:

# perf probe vfs_*
vfs_caches_init_early is out of .text, skip it.
vfs_caches_init is out of .text, skip it.
Added new events:
probe:vfs_fallocate (on vfs_*)
...
probe:vfs_load_quota_inode (on vfs_*)

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

perf record -e probe:vfs_load_quota_inode -aR sleep 1

Note that this can be reproduced ONLY IF the vfs_caches_init* is the
last part of matched symbol list. I've checked this happens on
"3.19.0-generic #18-Ubuntu" kernel binary.

perf probe: Fix to return error if no probe is added

Fix perf probe to return an error if no probe is added due to the given
probe point being on the blacklist.

To fix this problem, this moves the blacklist checking to right after
finding symbols/probe-points and marks them as skipped.

If all the symbols are skipped, "perf probe" returns an error as it
fails to find the corresponding probe address.

E.g. currently if a blacklisted probe is given:

# perf probe do_trap && echo 'succeed'
Added new event:
Warning: Skipped probing on blacklisted function: sync_regs
succeed

No! It must fail! With this patch, it correctly fails:

# perf probe do_trap && echo 'succeed'
do_trap is blacklisted function, skip it.
Probe point 'do_trap' not found.

perf machine: Fix up some more method names

Calling the function 'machine__new_module' implies a new 'module' will
be allocated, when in fact what is returned is a 'struct map' instance,
that not necessarily will be instantiated, as if one already exists with
the given module name, it will be returned instead.

So be consistent with other "find and if not there, create" like
functions, like machine__findnew_thread, machine__findnew_dso, etc, and
rename it to machine__findnew_module_map(), that in turn will call
machine__findnew_module_dso().

perf probe: Fix segfault when glob matching function without debuginfo

Commit 4c859351226c920b227fec040a3b447f0d482af3 ("perf probe: Support
glob wildcards for function name") introduces segfault problems when
debuginfo is not available:

# perf probe 'sys_w*'
Added new events:
Segmentation fault

The first problem resides in find_probe_trace_events_from_map(). In
that function, find_probe_functions() is called to match each symbol
against glob to find the number of matching functions, but still use
map__for_each_symbol_by_name() to find 'struct symbol' for matching
functions. Unfortunately, map__for_each_symbol_by_name() does
exact matching by searching in an rbtree.

It doesn't know glob matching, and not easy for it to support it because
it use rbtree based binary search, but we are unable to ensure all names
matched by the glob (any glob passed by user) reside in one subtree.

This patch drops map__for_each_symbol_by_name(). Since there is no
rbtree again, re-matching all symbols costs a lot. This patch avoid it
by saving all matching results into an array (syms).

The second problem is the lost of tp->realname. In
__add_probe_trace_events(), if pev->point.function is glob, the event
name should be set to tev->point.realname. This patch ensures its
existence by strdup sym->name instead of leaving a NULL pointer there.

After this patch:

# perf probe 'sys_w*'
Added new events:
probe:sys_waitid (on sys_w*)
probe:sys_wait4 (on sys_w*)
probe:sys_waitpid (on sys_w*)
probe:sys_write (on sys_w*)
probe:sys_writev (on sys_w*)

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

perf record -e probe:sys_writev -aR sleep 1

perf tools: Reference count struct map

We have pointers to struct map instances in several places, like in the
hist_entry instances, so we need a way to know when we can destroy them,
otherwise we may either keep leaking them or end up referencing deleted
instances.

Start fixing it by reference counting them.

This patch puts the reference count for struct map in place, replacing
direct map__delete() calls with map__put() ones and then grabbing a
reference count when adding it to the maps struct where maps for a
struct thread are kept.

Next we'll grab reference counts when setting pointers to struct map
instances, in places like in the hist_entry code.

perf probe: Load map before glob matching

Commit 4c859351226c920b227fec040a3b447f0d482af3 ("perf probe: Support
glob wildcards for function name") introduces a problem:

# /root/perf probe kmem_cache_free
Failed to find symbol kmem_cache_free in kernel
Error: Failed to add events.

The reason is the replacement of map__for_each_symbol_by_name() (by
map__for_each_symbol()). Although their names are similar,
map__for_each_symbol doesn't call map__load() and dso__sort_by_name()
before searching. The missing of map__load() causes this problem because
it search symbol before load dso map.

This patch ensures map__load() is called before using
map__for_each_symbol().

After this patch:

# /root/perf probe kmem_cache_free
Added new event:
probe:kmem_cache_free (on kmem_cache_free%return)

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

perf record -e probe:kmem_cache_free -aR sleep 1

However, this causes problems on powerpc ABIv1 where all functions have

powerpc ABIv2 encodes local entry points in the symbol table and the
function entry address in DWARF may not be appropriate for kprobes, as
described here:

https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17638

"The DWARF address ranges deliberately include the *whole* function,
both global and local entry points."
...
"If you want to set probes on a local entry point, you should look up
the symbol in the main symbol table (not DWARF), and check the st_other
bits; they will indicate whether the function has a local entry point,
and what its offset from the global entry point is. Note that GDB does
the same when setting a breakpoint on a function entry."

an alternative, in function get_alternative_probe_event():

memcpy(tmp, &pev->point, sizeof(*tmp));
memset(&pev->point, 0, sizeof(pev->point));

In this case, it drops the retprobe flag and forgets to set it back in
find_alternative_probe_point(), so the problem occurs.

(for the case of !map->dso->kernel, kmap(map) does not exists at all).

Also, introduces map__kmaps() to warn uninitialized kmaps.

perf probe: Fix to get ummapped symbol address on kernel

Fix to get correctly unmapped symbol address on kernel. This allows us
to probe on syscall symbols which are aliases of SyS_ functions with
using debuginfo.

Without this fix:
----
# ./perf probe -a sys_write
Failed to find debug information for address 3b0100
Probe point 'sys_write' not found.
Error: Failed to add events.
----
The address 0x3b0100 is a mapped address, and not usable
in debuginfo.

With this fix:
----
# ./perf probe -a sys_write
Added new event:
probe:sys_write (on sys_write)

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

perf record -e probe:sys_write -aR sleep 1

perf probe: Fix failure to add multiple probes without debuginfo

Perf tries to find probe function addresses from map when debuginfo
could not be found.

To the first added function, the value of ref_reloc_sym was set in
maps__set_kallsyms_ref_reloc_sym() and can be obtained from
host_machine->kmaps->maps. After that, new maps are added to
host_machine->kmaps->maps in dso__load_kcore(), all these new added maps
do not have a valid ref_reloc_sym.

When adding a second function, get_target_map() may get a map without
valid ref_reloc_sym, and raise the error "Relocated base symbol is not
found".

Fix this by using kernel_get_ref_reloc_sym() to get ref_reloc_sym.

This problem can be reproduced as following:

$ perf probe --add='sys_write' --add='sys_open'
Relocated base symbol is not found!
Error: Failed to add events.

After this patch:

$ perf probe --add='sys_write' --add='sys_open'
Added new event:
probe:sys_write (on sys_write)

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

perf record -e probe:sys_write -aR sleep 1

Added new event:
probe:sys_open (on sys_open)

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

perf record -e probe:sys_open -aR sleep 1

# e578da3b 06-Mar-2015 Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org>

perf probe: Allow weak symbols to be probed

It currently prevents adding probes in weak symbols. But there're cases
that given name is an only weak symbol so that we cannot add probe.

$ perf probe -x /usr/lib/libc.so.6 -a calloc
Failed to find symbol calloc in /usr/lib/libc-2.21.so
Error: Failed to add events.

$ nm /usr/lib/libc.so.6 | grep calloc

000000000007b1f0 T __libc_calloc
000000000007b1f0 W calloc

This change will result in duplicate probes when strong and weak symbols
co-exist in a binary. But I think it's not a big problem since probes
at the weak symbol will never be hit anyway.

perf symbols: Allow symbol alias when loading map for symbol name

When perf probe tries to add a probe in a binary using symbol name, it
sometimes failed since some symbols were discard during loading dso.

When it resolves an address to symbol, it'd be better to have just one
symbol at given address. But for finding address from symbol, it'd be
better to keep all names (including aliases).

So allow tools to state that they want to allow aliases via
symbol_conf.allow_aliases.

perf probe: Fix to handle aliased symbols in glibc

Fix perf probe to handle aliased symbols correctly in glibc. In the
glibc, several symbols are defined as an alias of __libc_XXX, e.g.
malloc is an alias of __libc_malloc.

In such cases, dwarf has no subroutine instances of the alias functions
(e.g. no "malloc" instance), but the map has that symbol and its
address.

Thus, if we search the alieased symbol in debuginfo, we always fail to
find it, but it is in the map.

To solve this problem, this fails back to address-based alternative
search, which searches the symbol in the map, translates its address to
alternative (correct) function name by using debuginfo, and retry to
find the alternative function point from debuginfo.

This adds fail-back process to --vars, --lines and --add options. So,
now you can use those on malloc@libc :)

Without this patch;
-----
# ./perf probe -x /usr/lib64/libc-2.17.so -V malloc
Failed to find the address of malloc
Error: Failed to show vars.
# ./perf probe -x /usr/lib64/libc-2.17.so -a "malloc bytes"

With this patch;
-----

# ./perf probe -x /usr/lib64/libc-2.17.so -a "malloc bytes"
Added new event:
probe_libc:malloc (on malloc in /usr/lib64/libc-2.17.so with bytes)

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

perf record -e probe_libc:malloc -aR sleep 1

perf probe: Fix probing kretprobes

The commit dfef99cd0b2c ("perf probe: Use ref_reloc_sym based address
instead of the symbol name") converts kprobes to use ref_reloc_sym (i.e.
_stext) and offset instead of using symbol's name directly. So on my
system, adding do_fork ends up with like below:

$ sudo perf probe -v --add do_fork%return
probe-definition(0): do_fork%return
symbol:do_fork file:(null) line:0 offset:0 return:1 lazy:(null)
0 arguments
Looking at the vmlinux_path (7 entries long)
Using /lib/modules/3.17.6-1-ARCH/build/vmlinux for symbols
Could not open debuginfo. Try to use symbols.
Opening /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events write=1
Added new event:
Writing event: r:probe/do_fork _stext+456136
Failed to write event: Invalid argument
Error: Failed to add events. Reason: Operation not permitted (Code: -1)

As you can see, the do_fork was translated to _stext+456136. This was
because to support (local) symbols that have same name. But the problem
is that kretprobe requires to be inserted at function start point so it
simply checks whether it's called with offset 0. And if not, it'll
return with -EINVAL. You can see it with dmesg.

$ dmesg | tail -1
[125621.764103] Return probe must be used without offset.

So we need to use the symbol name instead of ref_reloc_sym in case of
return probes.

perf probe: Do not rely on map__load() filter to find symbols

The find_probe_trace_events_from_map() searches matching symbol from a
map (so from a backing dso). For uprobes, it'll create a new map (and
dso) and loads it using a filter. It's a little bit inefficient in that
it'll read out the symbol table everytime but works well anyway.

For kprobes however, it'll reuse existing kernel map which might be
loaded before. In this case map__load() just returns with no result.
It makes kprobes always failed to find symbol even if it exists in the
map (dso).

To fix it, use map__find_symbol_by_name() instead. It'll load a map
with full symbols and sorts them by name. It needs to search sibing
nodes since there can be multiple (local) symbols with same name.

This is why the perf probe failed to find it in debuginfo.

However, there are some malloc instances in symbols.
-----
eu-readelf --symbols /usr/lib/debug/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc-2.19.so | grep malloc$
1181: 0000000000080700 5332 FUNC LOCAL DEFAULT 12 _int_malloc
4537: 00000000000831d0 339 FUNC LOCAL DEFAULT 12 __GI___libc_malloc
5545: 00000000000831d0 339 FUNC LOCAL DEFAULT 12 __malloc
6063: 00000000000831d0 339 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 12 malloc
7302: 00000000000831d0 339 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 12 __libc_malloc
-----
As you an see, malloc and __libc_malloc have same address, and actually
__libc_malloc has an entry in debuginfo. So you can set up a probe on
__libc_malloc.

To fix this problem shortly, perf probe simply falls back to find probe
point(malloc) in symbols if it is not found in debuginfo.

perf symbols: Encapsulate dsos list head into struct dsos

This is a precursor patch to enable long name searching of DSOs using
a rbtree.

In this patch, a new dsos structure is created which contains only a
list head structure for the moment.

The new dsos structure is used, in turn, in the machine structure for
the user_dsos and kernel_dsos fields.

Only the following 3 dsos functions are modified to accept the new dsos
structure parameter instead of list_head:

- dsos__add()
- dsos__find()
- __dsos__findnew()

And also, if get_probe_trace_command_rawlist() returns NULL, it doesn't
mean the rawlist is empty, there is an error. So caller must use

Warn user to rebuild target with debuginfo when the perf probe fails to
find debug information in the target binary.

Without this, perf probe just reports the failure, but it's no hint for
users. This gives more hint for users.

Without this:

$ strip perf
$ ./perf probe -x perf -L argv_split
Failed to open debuginfo file.
Error: Failed to show lines.

With this:

$ strip perf
$ ./perf probe -x perf -L argv_split
The /home/fedora/ksrc/linux-3/tools/perf/perf file has no debug information.
Rebuild with -g, or install an appropriate debuginfo package.
Error: Failed to show lines.

The "rebuild with ..." part changes to "rebuild with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO"
if the target is the kernel or a kernel module.

perf tools: Check recorded kernel version when finding vmlinux

Currently vmlinux_path__init() only tries to find vmlinux file from
current directory, /boot and some canonical directories with version
number of the running kernel. This can be a problem when reporting old
data recorded on a kernel version not running currently.

We can use --symfs option for this but it's annoying for user to do it
always. As we already have the info in the perf.data file, it can be
changed to use it for the search automatically.

Before:

$ perf report
...
# Samples: 4K of event 'cpu-clock'
# Event count (approx.): 1067250000
#
# Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol
# ........ .......... ................. ..............................
71.87% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] recover_probed_instruction

After:

# Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol
# ........ .......... ................. ....................
71.87% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] native_safe_halt

This requires to change signature of symbol__init() to receive struct
perf_session_env *.

Error: Failed to show lines.

But -2 (-ENOENT) means that the given source line or function was not

-----
# perf probe -L page_cgroup_init_flatmem

Changes from v2:
- Instead of retrying, directly opens offline dwarf.
- Remove debuginfo__new_online_kernel and related functions.
- Refer map->reloc to get the correct address of a symbol.
- Add a special case for handling ref_reloc_sym based address.

# dfef99cd 05-Feb-2014 Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@hitachi.com>

perf probe: Use ref_reloc_sym based address instead of the symbol name

Since several local symbols can have same name (e.g. t_show), we need to
use the relative address from the symbol referred by kmap->ref_reloc_sym
instead of the target symbol name itself.

Because the kernel address space layout randomize (kASLR) changes the
absolute address of kernel symbols, we can't rely on the absolute
address.

Note that this works only with debuginfo.

E.g. without this change;
----
# ./perf probe -a "t_show \$vars"
Added new events:
probe:t_show (on t_show with $vars)
probe:t_show_1 (on t_show with $vars)
probe:t_show_2 (on t_show with $vars)
probe:t_show_3 (on t_show with $vars)

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

perf record -e probe:t_show_3 -aR sleep 1
----
OK, we have 4 different t_show()s. All functions have
different arguments as below;
----
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
p:probe/t_show t_show m=%di:u64 v=%si:u64
p:probe/t_show_1 t_show m=%di:u64 v=%si:u64 t=%si:u64
p:probe/t_show_2 t_show m=%di:u64 v=%si:u64 fmt=%si:u64
p:probe/t_show_3 t_show m=%di:u64 v=%si:u64 file=%si:u64
----
However, all of them have been put on the *same* address.
----
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/kprobes/list

ffffffff810d9720 k t_show+0x0 [DISABLED]

With this change;
----
# ./perf probe -a "t_show \$vars"
Added new events:
probe:t_show (on t_show with $vars)
probe:t_show_1 (on t_show with $vars)
probe:t_show_2 (on t_show with $vars)
probe:t_show_3 (on t_show with $vars)

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

perf record -e probe:t_show_3 -aR sleep 1

# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
p:probe/t_show _stext+889880 m=%di:u64 v=%si:u64

ffffffffb50f4990 k t_show+0x0 [DISABLED]
ffffffffb50eccf0 k t_show+0x0 [DISABLED]
----
This time, each event is put in different address
correctly.

Note that currently this doesn't support address-based
probe on modules (thus the probes on modules are symbol
based), since it requires relative address probe syntax
for kprobe-tracer, and it isn't implemented yet.

One more note, this allows us to put events on correct
address, but --list option should be updated to show
correct corresponding source code.

Changes from v2:
- Refer kmap->ref_reloc_sym instead of "_stext".
- Refer map->reloc to catch up the kASLR perf fix.

Changes from v1:
- Use _stext relative address instead of actual
absolute address recorded in debuginfo.

perf probe: Do not add offset twice to uprobe address

Fix perf-probe not to add offset value twice to uprobe probe address
when post processing.

The tevs[i].point.address struct member is the address of symbol+offset,
but current perf-probe adjusts the point.address by adding the offset.

As a result, the probe address becomes symbol+offset+offset. This may
cause unexpected code corruption. Urgent fix is needed.

Without this fix:
---
# ./perf probe -x ./perf dso__load_vmlinux+4
# ./perf probe -l
probe_perf:dso__load_vmlinux (on 0x000000000006d2b8)
# nm ./perf.orig | grep dso__load_vmlinux\$
000000000046d0a0 T dso__load_vmlinux
---

You can see the given offset is 3 but the actual probed address is
dso__load_vmlinux+8.

With this fix:
---
# ./perf probe -x ./perf dso__load_vmlinux+4
# ./perf probe -l
probe_perf:dso__load_vmlinux (on 0x000000000006d2b4)
---

Now the problem is fixed.

perf probe: Support basic dwarf-based operations on uprobe events

Support basic dwarf(debuginfo) based operations for uprobe events. With
this change, perf probe can analyze debuginfo of user application binary
to set up new uprobe event.

This allows perf-probe --add(with local variables, line numbers) and
--line works with -x option. (Actually, --vars has already accepted -x
option)

For example, the following command shows the probe-able lines of a given
user space function. Something that so far was only available in the
'perf probe' tool for kernel space functions:

# ./perf probe -x perf --line map__load
<map__load@/home/fedora/ksrc/linux-2.6/tools/perf/util/map.c:0>
0 int map__load(struct map *map, symbol_filter_t filter)
1 {
2 const char *name = map->dso->long_name;
int nr;

5 if (dso__loaded(map->dso, map->type))
6 return 0;

8 nr = dso__load(map->dso, map, filter);
9 if (nr < 0) {
10 if (map->dso->has_build_id) {

And this shows the available variables at the given line of the
function.

# ./perf probe -x perf --vars map__load:8
Available variables at map__load:8
@<map__load+96>
char* name
struct map* map
symbol_filter_t filter
@<map__find_symbol+112>
char* name
symbol_filter_t filter
@<map__find_symbol_by_name+136>
char* name
symbol_filter_t filter
@<map_groups__find_symbol_by_name+176>
char* name
struct map* map
symbol_filter_t filter

And lastly, we can now define probe(s) with all available
variables on the given line:

# ./perf probe -x perf --add 'map__load:8 $vars'

Added new events:
probe_perf:map__load (on map__load:8 with $vars)
probe_perf:map__load_1 (on map__load:8 with $vars)
probe_perf:map__load_2 (on map__load:8 with $vars)
probe_perf:map__load_3 (on map__load:8 with $vars)

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

perf record -e probe_perf:map__load_3 -aR sleep 1

Changes from previous version:
- Add examples in the patch description.
- Use .text section start address and dwarf symbol address
for calculating the offset of given symbol, instead of
searching the symbol in symtab again.
With this change, we can safely handle multiple local
function instances (e.g. scnprintf in perf).

perf probe: Expand given path to absolute path

Expand given path to absolute path in the option parser, except for a
module name.

Since realpath at later stage in processing several probe point, can be
called several times (even if currently doesn't, it can happen when we
expands the feature), it is waste of the performance.

Processing it once at the early stage can avoid that.

Changes from previous one:
- Fix not to print null string.
- Allocate memory for given path/module name everytime.

tools/: Convert to new topic libraries

Move debugfs.* to api/fs/. We have a common tools/lib/api/ place where
the Makefile lives and then we place the headers in subdirs.

For example, all the fs-related stuff goes to tools/lib/api/fs/ from
which we get libapikfs.a (acme got almost the naming he wanted :-)) and
we link it into the tools which need it - in this case perf and
tools/vm/page-types.

acme:

"Looking at the implementation, I think some tools can even link
directly to the .o files, avoiding the .a file altogether.

But that is just an optimization/finer granularity tools/lib/
cherrypicking that toolers can make use of."

Fixup documentation cleaning target while at it.

perf tools: remove sscanf extension %as

perf uses sscanf extension %as to read and allocate a string in the same
step. This is a non-standard extension only present in new versions of
glibc.

Replacing the use of sscanf and %as with strtok_r calls in order to
parse a given string into its components. This is needed in Android
since bionic does not support
%as extension for sscanf.

# 1d037ca1 10-Sep-2012 Irina Tirdea <irina.tirdea@gmail.com>

perf tools: Use __maybe_used for unused variables

perf defines both __used and __unused variables to use for marking
unused variables. The variable __used is defined to
__attribute__((__unused__)), which contradicts the kernel definition to
__attribute__((__used__)) for new gcc versions. On Android, __used is
also defined in system headers and this leads to warnings like: warning:
'__used__' attribute ignored

__unused is not defined in the kernel and is not a standard definition.
If __unused is included everywhere instead of __used, this leads to
conflicts with glibc headers, since glibc has a variables with this name
in its headers.

The best approach is to use __maybe_unused, the definition used in the
kernel for __attribute__((unused)). In this way there is only one
definition in perf sources (instead of 2 definitions that point to the
same thing: __used and __unused) and it works on both Linux and Android.
This patch simply replaces all instances of __used and __unused with
__maybe_unused.

perf probe: Ensure offset provided is not greater than function length without DWARF info too

The 'perf probe' command allows kprobe to be inserted at any offset from
a function start, which results in adding kprobes to unintended
location. (example: perf probe do_fork+10000 is allowed even though
size of do_fork is ~904).

My previous patch https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/2/24/42 addressed the case
where DWARF info was available for the kernel. This patch fixes the
case where perf probe is used on a kernel without debuginfo available.

perf tools: Fix broken build by defining _GNU_SOURCE in Makefile

When building on my Debian/mips system, util/util.c fails to build
because commit 1aed2671738785e8f5aea663a6fda91aa7ef59b5 (perf kvm: Do
guest-only counting by default) indirectly includes stdio.h before the
feature selection in util.h is done. This prevents _GNU_SOURCE in
util.h from enabling the declaration of getline(), from now second
inclusion of stdio.h, and the build is broken.

There is another breakage in util/evsel.c caused by include ordering,
but I didn't fully track down the commit that caused it.

The root cause of all this is an inconsistent definition of _GNU_SOURCE,
so I move the definition into the Makefile so that it is passed to all
invocations of the compiler and used uniformly for all system header
files. All other #define and #undef of _GNU_SOURCE are removed as they
cause conflicts with the definition passed to the compiler.

All the features.h definitions (_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64
and _GNU_SOURCE) are needed by the python glue code too, so they are
moved to BASIC_CFLAGS, and the misleading comments about BASIC_CFLAGS
are removed.

This gives me a clean build on x86_64 (fc12) and mips (Debian).

perf probe: Support adding probes on offline kernel modules

Support adding probes on offline kernel modules. This enables
perf-probe to trace kernel-module init functions via perf-probe.
If user gives the path of module with -m option, perf-probe
expects the module is offline.
This feature works with --add, --funcs, and --vars.

E.g)
# perf probe -m /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/fs/btrfs/btrfs.ko \
-a "extent_io_init:5 extent_state_cache"
Add new events:
probe:extent_io_init (on extent_io_init:5 with extent_state_cache)
probe:extent_io_init_1 (on extent_io_init:5 with extent_state_cache)

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

perf record -e probe:extent_io_init_1 -aR sleep 1

perf probe: Remove redundant checks

While fixing an error propagating problem in f809b25 I added two
redundant checks.

I did that because I didn't expect the checks to be on the while and for
loop condition expression, where they are tested before we run the loop,
where the 'ret' variable is set.

So remove it from there and leave it just after it is actually set,
eliminating unneded tests.

perf probe: Fix error propagation leading to segfault

There are two hunks in this patch that stops probe processing as soon as one
error is found, breaking out of loops, the other fix an error propagation that
should return a negative error number but instead was returning the result of
"ret < 0", which is 1 and thus made several error checks fail because they test
agains < 0.

The problem could be triggered by asking for a variable that was optimized out,
fact that should stop the whole probe processing but instead was segfaulting
while installing broken probes:

[root@emilia ~]# probe perf_mmap:55 user_lock_limit
Failed to find the location of user_lock_limit at this address.
Perhaps, it has been optimized out.
Failed to find 'user_lock_limit' in this function.
Add new events:
probe:perf_mmap (on perf_mmap:55 with user_lock_limit)
probe:perf_mmap_1 (on perf_mmap:55 with user_lock_limit)
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
[root@emilia ~]# perf probe -l

probe:perf_mmap_1 (on perf_mmap:55@git/linux/kernel/perf_event.c with user_lock_limit)
[root@emilia ~]#

After the fix:

[root@emilia ~]# probe perf_mmap:55 user_lock_limit
Failed to find the location of user_lock_limit at this address.
Perhaps, it has been optimized out.
Failed to find 'user_lock_limit' in this function.

perf probe: Show filename which contains target function

Show filename which contains a target function with the function name on
"--lines" mode, because perf-probe just shows the first function even if
there are many same-name functions.

Originally adopted by Franck Bui-Huu's patch which shows file name
instead of function name. I've just modified it to show both of function
name and file name, because of completeness of output.

E.g.)
$ perf probe -L t_show
<t_show@/home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux-2.6-tip/kernel/trace/ftrace.c:0>
0 static int t_show(struct seq_file *m, void *v)
1 {
2 struct ftrace_iterator *iter = m->private;

$ perf probe -L t_show@trace/trace.c

perf probe: Fix short file name probe location reporting

After adding probes, perf-probe(1) reports the probes locations which include
filenames for certain cases.

But for short file names (whose length < 32), perf-probe didn't display the
name correctly. It actually skipped the first character.

Here's an example where 'icmp.c' was screwed:

$ 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)

This patch fixes this bug in synthesize_perf_probe_point().

When listing a whole file or a function which is located at the end,

3 struct drm_device *dev = node->minor->dev;

[show vars]
# ./perf probe --module drm -V drm_vblank_info:3
Available variables at drm_vblank_info:3

perf probe: Support comp_dir to find an absolute source path

Gcc generates DW_AT_comp_dir and stores relative source path if building kernel
without O= option. In that case, perf probe --line sometimes doesn't work
without --source option, because it tries to access relative source path.

This adds DW_AT_comp_dir support to perf probe for finding an absolute source
path when no --source option.

perf probe: Fix !dwarf build

Fix the !drawf build.

This uses the existing NO_DWARF_SUPPORT mechanism we use for that,
but it's really fragile and needs a cleanup. (in a separate patch)

1) Such uses:

#ifndef NO_DWARF_SUPPORT

are double inverted logic a'la 'not not'. Instead the flag should
be called DWARF_SUPPORT.

2) Furthermore, assymetric #ifdef polluted code flow like:

if (need_dwarf)
#ifdef NO_DWARF_SUPPORT
die("Debuginfo-analysis is not supported");
#else /* !NO_DWARF_SUPPORT */
pr_debug("Some probes require debuginfo.\n");

fd = open_vmlinux();

is very fragile and not acceptable. Instead of that helper functions
should be created and the dwarf/no-dwarf logic should be separated more
cleanly.

3) Local variable #ifdefs like this:

#ifndef NO_DWARF_SUPPORT
int fd;
#endif

perf probe: Add data structure member access support

Support accessing members in the data structures. With this,
perf-probe accepts data-structure members(IOW, it now accepts
dot '.' and arrow '->' operators) as probe arguemnts.

e.g.

./perf probe --add 'schedule:44 rq->curr'

./perf probe --add 'vfs_read file->f_op->read file->f_path.dentry'

Note that '>' can be interpreted as redirection in command-line.

# 2a9c8c36 25-Feb-2010 Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@redhat.com>

perf probe: Add lazy line matching support

Add lazy line matching support for specifying new probes.
This also changes the syntax of perf probe a bit. Now
perf probe accepts one of below probe event definitions.

1) Define event based on function name
[EVENT=]FUNC[@SRC][:RLN|+OFF|%return|;PTN] [ARG ...]

2) Define event based on source file with line number
[EVENT=]SRC:ALN [ARG ...]

3) Define event based on source file with lazy pattern
[EVENT=]SRC;PTN [ARG ...]

- New lazy matching pattern(PTN) follows ';' (semicolon). And it
must be put the end of the definition.
- So, @SRC is no longer the part which must be put at the end
of the definition.

Note that ';' (semicolon) can be interpreted as the end of
a command by the shell. This means that you need to quote it.
(anyway you will need to quote the lazy pattern itself too,
because it may contains other sensitive characters, like
'[',']' etc.).

Lazy matching
-------------
The lazy line matching is similar to glob matching except
ignoring spaces in both of pattern and target.

e.g.
'a=*' can matches 'a=b', 'a = b', 'a == b' and so on.

This provides some sort of flexibility and robustness to
probe point definitions against minor code changes.
(for example, actual 10th line of schedule() can be changed
easily by modifying schedule(), but the same line matching
'rq=cpu_rq*' may still exist.)

Changes in v3:
- Cast Dwarf_Addr to uintmax_t for printf-formats.

Changes in v2:
- Cast Dwarf_Addr to unsigned long long for printf-formats.

perf probe: Support --line option to show probable source-code lines

Add --line option to support showing probable source-code lines.

perf probe --line SRC:LN[-LN|+NUM]
or
perf probe --line FUNC[:LN[-LN|+NUM]]

This option shows source-code with line number if the line can
be probed. Lines without line number (and blue color) means that
the line can not be probed, because debuginfo doesn't have the
information of those lines.

The argument specifies the range of lines, "source.c:100-120"
shows lines between 100th to l20th in source.c file. And
"func:10+20" shows 20 lines from 10th line of func function.

e.g.
# ./perf probe --line kernel/sched.c:1080
<kernel/sched.c:1080>
*
* called with rq->lock held and irqs disabled
*/
static void hrtick_start(struct rq *rq, u64 delay)

struct hrtimer *timer = &rq->hrtick_timer;
1086 ktime_t time = ktime_add_ns(timer->base->get_time(), delay);

hrtimer_set_expires(timer, time);

1093 __smp_call_function_single(cpu_of(rq), &rq->hrtick_csd,

perf probe: Fix event namelist to duplicate string

Fix event namelist to duplicate string. Without duplicating, adding
multiple probes causes stack overwrite bug, because it reuses a
buffer on stack while the buffer is already added in the namelist.
String duplication solves this bug because only contents of the
buffer is copied to the namelist.
