We now just warn the user about the fact and go on providing just
userspace samples.This fixes a problem when no vmlinux is explicetely passed by the user,
thus symbol_conf.vmlinux_name is NULL, no suitable vmlinux is found, and
then we get:aldebaran:~> perf top -p 7557

perf_evsel__alloc_fd allocates an array of file descriptors with the
memory initialized to 0. The array has dimensions for cpus and threads.Later, __perf_evsel__open calls sys_perf_event_open for each cpu and thread
dimensions. If the open fails for any of the cpus or threads then the fd's
for this event are closed and the fd entry in the array is set to -1. Now,
if the first attempt fails for the event (e.g., the event is not supported)
the remaining dimensions (cpu > 0 and thread > 0) are not touched and left
at the initialized value of 0.builtin-stat catches ENOENT and ENOSYS failures and allows the command to
continue. The end result is that stat attempts to read from an fd of 0 which
of course is stdin and so the command hangs until you type ctrl-D.Resolve by initializing the array to -1 since an fd < 0 is already
handled.Cc: Frederic Weisbecker

Perf uses /proc/modules to figure out where kernel modules are loaded.
With the advent of kptr_restrict, non root users get zeroes for all module
start addresses.So check if kptr_restrict is non zero and don't generate the syntethic
PERF_RECORD_MMAP events for them.Warn the user about it in perf record and in perf report.
In perf report the reference relocation symbol being zero means that
kptr_restrict was set, thus /proc/kallsyms has only zeroed addresses, so don't
use it to fixup symbol addresses when using a valid kallsyms (in the buildid
cache) or vmlinux (in the vmlinux path) build-id located automatically or
specified by the user.Provide an explanation about it in 'perf report' if kernel samples were taken,
checking if a suitable vmlinux or kallsyms was found/specified.Restricted /proc/kallsyms don't go to the buildid cache anymore.
Example:
[acme@emilia ~]$ perf record -F 100000 sleep 1
WARNING: Kernel address maps (/proc/{kallsyms,modules}) are restricted, check
/proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict.Samples in kernel functions may not be resolved if a suitable vmlinux file is
not found in the buildid cache or in the vmlinux path.Samples in kernel modules won't be resolved at all.
If some relocation was applied (e.g. kexec) symbols may be misresolved even
with a suitable vmlinux or kallsyms file.[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.005 MB perf.data (~231 samples) ]

Kernel address maps (/proc/{kallsyms,modules}) were restricted,
check /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict before running 'perf record'.If some relocation was applied (e.g. kexec) symbols may be misresolved.
Samples in kernel modules can't be resolved as well.

[ Fixed perf_event__names[] alignment which was nearby and hurting my eyes ... ]
Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar -
Commit eac9eacee16 "perf tools: Check we are able to read the event
size on mmap" brought a check to ensure we can read the size of the
event before dereferencing it, and do a remap otherwise to move the
buffer forward.However that remap was ommitting all the necessary work to
update the new page offset, head, and to unmap previous pages,
etc...To fix this, gather all the code that fetches the event in a
seperate helper which does all the necessary checks about the
header/event size and tells us anytime a remap is needed.Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker

Commit e66eed651fd1 ("list: remove prefetching from regular list
iterators") removed the include of prefetch.h from list.h, which
uncovered several cases that had apparently relied on that rather
obscure header file dependency.So this fixes things up a bit, using
grep -L linux/prefetch.h $(git grep -l '[^a-z_]prefetchw*(' -- '*.[ch]')
grep -L 'prefetchw*(' $(git grep -l 'linux/prefetch.h' -- '*.[ch]')to guide us in finding files that either need
inclusion, or have it despite not needing it.There are more of them around (mostly network drivers), but this gets
many core ones.Reported-by: Stephen Rothwell

There are cases where one ktest option may be used within another
ktest option. Allow them to be reused just like config variables
but there are evaluated at time of test not config processing time.Thus having something like:
MAKE_CMD = make ARCH=${ARCH}
TEST_START
ARCH = powerpcTEST_START
ARCH = armWill have the arch defined for each test iteration.

I found that I constantly reuse information for each test case.
It would be nice to just define a variable to reuse.For example I may have:
TEST_START
[...]
TEST = ssh root@mybox /path/to/my/scriptTEST_START
[...]
TEST = ssh root@mybox /path/to/my/script[etc]
The issue is, I may wont to change that script or one of the other
fields. Then I need to update each line individually.With the addition of config variables (variables only used during parsing
the config) we can simplify the config files. These variables can
also be defined multiple times and each time the new value will
overwrite the old value.The convention to use a config variable over a ktest option is to use :=
instead of =.Now we could do:
USER := root
TARGET := mybox
TEST_SCRIPT := /path/to/my/script
TEST_CASE := ${USER}@${TARGET} ${TEST_SCRIPT}TEST_START
[...]
TEST = ${TEST_CASE}TEST_START
[...]
TEST = ${TEST_CASE}[etc]
Now we just need to update the variables at the top.

Also clean up the attribute construction code to be appending, and factor
it out into add_default_attributes().Tweak the coverage percentage printout a bit, so that it's easier to view it
alongside the +- sttddev colum.Cc: Peter Zijlstra

This patch fixes an issue with event parsing.
The following commit appears to have broken the
ability to specify a comma separated list of events:commit ceb53fbf6dbb1df26d38379a262c6981fe73dd36
Author: Ingo Molnar
Date: Wed Apr 27 04:06:33 2011 +0200perf stat: Fail more clearly when an invalid modifier is specified
This patch fixes this while preserving the desired effect:
$ perf stat -e instructions:u,instructions:k ls /dev/null /dev/null
Performance counter stats for 'ls /dev/null':
365956 instructions:u # 0.00 insns per cycle
731806 instructions:k # 0.00 insns per cycle0.001108862 seconds time elapsed
$ perf stat -e task-clock-msecs true
invalid event modifier: '-msecs'
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events and modifiersSigned-off-by: Stephane Eranian

The PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT ioctl was returning -EINVAL when using
--pid when monitoring multithreaded apps, as we can only share a ring
buffer for events on the same thread if not doing per cpu.Fix it by using per thread ring buffers.
Tested with:
