Numfor Mbiziwo-Tiapo reported segfault on stat of event group in repeat
mode:
# perf stat -e '{cycles,instructions}' -r 10 ls
It's caused by memory corruption due to not cleaned evsel's id array and
index, which needs to be rebuilt in every stat iteration. Currently the
ids index grows, while the array (which is also not freed) has the same
size.
Fixing this by releasing id array and zeroing ids index in
perf_evsel__close function.
We also need to keep the evsel_list alive for stat record (which is
disabled in repeat mode).

Konstantin reported problem with default perf record command, which
fails on some AMD servers, because of the default maximum precise
config.
The current fallback mechanism counts on getting ENOTSUP errno for
precise_ip fails, but that's not the case on some AMD servers.
We can fix this by removing the errno check completely, because the
precise_ip fallback is separated. We can just try (if requested by
evsel->precise_max) all possible precise_ip, and if one succeeds we win,
if not, we continue with standard fallback.

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.

Those are not in that file in the git repo, lets move it from there so
that we get that sane ctype code fully isolated to allow getting it in
sync either with the git sources or better with the kernel sources
(include/linux/ctype.h + lib/ctype.h), that way we can use
check_headers.h to get notified when changes are made in the original
code so that we can cherry-pick.

In which case it simply returns "unknown", like when it can't figure out
the evsel->name value.
This makes this code more robust and fixes a problem in 'perf trace'
where a NULL evsel was being passed to a routine that only used the
evsel for printing its name when a invalid syscall id was passed.

perf record:
Alexey Budankov:
- Allow mixing --user-regs with --call-graph=dwarf, making sure that
the minimal set of registers for DWARF unwinding is present in the
set of user registers requested to be present in each sample, while
warning the user that this may make callchains unreliable if more
that the minimal set of registers is needed to unwind.
yuzhoujian:
- Add support to collect callchains from kernel or user space only,
IOW allow setting the perf_event_attr.exclude_callchain_{kernel,user}
bits from the command line.
perf trace:
Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
- Remove x86_64 specific syscall numbers from the augmented_raw_syscalls
BPF in-kernel collector of augmented raw_syscalls:sys_{enter,exit}
payloads, use instead the syscall numbers obtainer either by the
arch specific syscalltbl generators or from audit-libs.
- Allow 'perf trace' to ask for the number of bytes to collect for
string arguments, for now ask for PATH_MAX, i.e. the whole
pathnames, which ends up being just a way to speficy which syscall
args are pathnames and thus should be read using bpf_probe_read_str().
- Skip unknown syscalls when expanding strace like syscall groups.
This helps using the 'string' group of syscalls to work in arm64,
where some of the syscalls present in x86_64 that deal with
strings, for instance 'access', are deprecated and this should not
be asked for tracing.
Leo Yan:
- Exit when failing to build eBPF program.
perf config:
Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
- Bail out when a handler returns failure for a key-value pair. This
helps with cases where processing a key-value pair is not just a
matter of setting some tool specific knob, involving, for instance
building a BPF program to then attach to the list of events 'perf
trace' will use, e.g. augmented_raw_syscalls.c.
perf.data:
Kan Liang:
- Read and store die ID information available in new Intel processors
in CPUID.1F in the CPU topology written in the perf.data header.
perf stat:
Kan Liang:
- Support per-die aggregation.
Documentation:
Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
- Update perf.data documentation about the CPU_TOPOLOGY, MEM_TOPOLOGY,
CLOCKID and DIR_FORMAT headers.
Song Liu:
- Add description of headers HEADER_BPF_PROG_INFO and HEADER_BPF_BTF.
Leo Yan:
- Update default value for llvm.clang-bpf-cmd-template in 'man perf-config'.
JVMTI:
Jiri Olsa:
- Address gcc string overflow warning for strncpy()
core:
- Remove superfluous nthreads system_wide setup in perf_evsel__alloc_fd().
Intel PT:
Adrian Hunter:
- Add support for samples to contain IPC ratio, collecting cycles
information from CYC packets, showing the IPC info periodically, because
Intel PT does not update the cycle count on every branch or instruction,
the incremental values will often be zero. When there are values, they
will be the number of instructions and number of cycles since the last
update, and thus represent the average IPC since the last IPC value.
E.g.:
# perf record --cpu 1 -m200000 -a -e intel_pt/cyc/u sleep 0.0001
rounding mmap pages size to 1024M (262144 pages)
[ perf record: Woken up 0 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 2.208 MB perf.data ]

be asked for tracing.
Leo Yan:
- Exit when failing to build eBPF program.
perf config:
Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
- Bail out when a handler returns failure for a key-value pair. This
helps with cases where processing a key-value pair is not just a
matter of setting some tool specific knob, involving, for instance
building a BPF program to then attach to the list of events 'perf
trace' will use, e.g. augmented_raw_syscalls.c.
perf.data:
Kan Liang:
- Read and store die ID information available in new Intel processors
in CPUID.1F in the CPU topology written in the perf.data header.
perf stat:
Kan Liang:
- Support per-die aggregation.
Documentation:
Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
- Update perf.data documentation about the CPU_TOPOLOGY, MEM_TOPOLOGY,
CLOCKID and DIR_FORMAT headers.
Song Liu:
- Add description of headers HEADER_BPF_PROG_INFO and HEADER_BPF_BTF.
Leo Yan:
- Update default value for llvm.clang-bpf-cmd-template in 'man perf-config'.
JVMTI:
Jiri Olsa:
- Address gcc string overflow warning for strncpy()
core:
- Remove superfluous nthreads system_wide setup in perf_evsel__alloc_fd().
Intel PT:
Adrian Hunter:
- Add support for samples to contain IPC ratio, collecting cycles
information from CYC packets, showing the IPC info periodically, because
Intel PT does not update the cycle count on every branch or instruction,
the incremental values will often be zero. When there are values, they
will be the number of instructions and number of cycles since the last
update, and thus represent the average IPC since the last IPC value.

[ perf record: Woken up 0 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 2.208 MB perf.data ]

It's already setup in the only caller of this method in
perf_evsel__open(), right before calling perf_evsel__alloc_fd(), no need
to do it again.
Also it's better to have it out of the function before we move it to
libperf.

One can just record callchains in the kernel or user space with this new
options.
We can use it together with "--all-kernel" options.
This two options is used just like print_stack(sys) or print_ustack(usr)
for systemtap.
Shown below is the usage of this new option combined with "--all-kernel"
options:
1. Configure all used events to run in kernel space and just collect
kernel callchains.
$ perf record -a -g --all-kernel --kernel-callchains
2. Configure all used events to run in kernel space and just collect
user callchains.
$ perf record -a -g --all-kernel --user-callchains
Committer notes:
Improved documentation to state that asking for kernel callchains really
is asking for excluding user callchains, and vice versa.
Further mentioned that using both won't get both, but nothing, as both
will be excluded.

I.e. the --user-regs=IP,SP,BP was being ignored, being overridden by the
needs of --call-graph=dwarf.
After applying the change in this patch the sample data contains the
user specified register, but making sure that at least the minimal set
of register needed for DWARF unwinding (DWARF_MINIMAL_REGS) is
requested.
The user is warned that DWARF unwinding may not work if extra registers
end up being needed.

WARNING: The use of --call-graph=dwarf may require all the user registers, specifying a subset with --user-regs may render DWARF unwinding unreliable, so the minimal registers set (IP, SP) is explicitly forced.

Add a 'percore' event qualifier, like cpu/event=0,umask=0x3,percore=1/,
that sums up the event counts for both hardware threads in a core.
We can already do this with --per-core, but it's often useful to do
this together with other metrics that are collected per hardware thread.
So we need to support this per-core counting on a event level.
This can be implemented in only the user tool, no kernel support needed.
v4:
---
1. Add Arnaldo's patch which updates the documentation for
this new qualifier.
2. Rebase to latest perf/core branch
v3:
---
Simplify the code according to Jiri's comments.
Before:
"return term->val.percore ? true : false;"
Now:
"return term->val.percore;"
v2:
---
Change the qualifier name from 'coresum' to 'percore' according to
comments from Jiri and Andi.

Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The main kernel changes were:
- add support for Intel's "adaptive PEBS v4" - which embedds LBS data
in PEBS records and can thus batch up and reduce the IRQ (NMI) rate
significantly - reducing overhead and making call-graph profiling
less intrusive.
- add Intel CPU core and uncore support updates for Tremont, Icelake,
- extend the x86 PMU constraints scheduler with 'constraint ranges'
to better support Icelake hw constraints,
- make x86 call-chain support work better with CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y
- misc other changes
Tooling changes:
- updates to the main tools: 'perf record', 'perf trace', 'perf

After a discussion with Andi, move the perf_event_attr.precise_ip
detection for maximum precise config (via :P modifier or for default
cycles event) to perf_evsel__open().
The current detection in perf_event_attr__set_max_precise_ip() is
tricky, because precise_ip config is specific for given event and it
currently checks only hw cycles.
We now check for valid precise_ip value right after failing
sys_perf_event_open() for specific event, before any of the
perf_event_attr fallback code gets executed.
This way we get the proper config in perf_event_attr together with
allowed precise_ip settings.
We can see that code activity with -vv, like:
$ perf record -vv ls

Currently, monitoring of BPF programs through bpf_event is off by
default for 'perf record'.
To turn it on, the user need to use option "--bpf-event". As BPF gets
wider adoption in different subsystems, this option becomes
inconvenient.
This patch makes bpf_event on by default, and adds option "--no-bpf-event"
to turn it off. Since option --bpf-event is not released yet, it is safe
to remove it.

The -c option to enable multiplex scaling has been useless for quite
some time because scaling is default.
It's only useful as --no-scale to disable scaling. But the non scaling
code path has bitrotted and doesn't print anything because perf output
code relies on value run/ena information.
Also even when we don't want to scale a value it's still useful to show
its multiplex percentage.
This patch:
- Fixes help and documentation to show --no-scale instead of -c
- Removes -c, only keeps the long option because -c doesn't support negatives.
- Enables running/enabled even with --no-scale
- And fixes some other problems in the no-scale output.
Before:
$ perf stat --no-scale -e cycles true
Performance counter stats for 'true':
<not counted> cycles

After:
$ ./perf stat --no-scale -e cycles true

This patch adds basic handling of PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT. Tracking of
PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT is OFF by default. Option --bpf-event is added to
turn it on.
Committer notes:
Add dummy machine__process_bpf_event() variant that returns zero for
systems without HAVE_LIBBPF_SUPPORT, such as Alpine Linux, unbreaking
the build in such systems.
Remove the needless include <machine.h> from bpf->event.h, provide just
forward declarations for the structs and unions in the parameters, to
reduce compilation time and needless rebuilds when machine.h gets
changed.
Committer testing:
When running with:
# perf record --bpf-event
On an older kernel where PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT and PERF_RECORD_KSYMBOL
is not present, we fallback to removing those two bits from
perf_event_attr, making the tool to continue to work on older kernels:
perf_event_attr:
size 112
{ sample_period, sample_freq } 4000
sample_type IP|TID|TIME|PERIOD
read_format ID
disabled 1
inherit 1
mmap 1
comm 1

enable_on_exec 1
task 1
precise_ip 3
sample_id_all 1
exclude_guest 1
mmap2 1

perf_event_attr:

------------------------------------------------------------
And then proceeds to work without those two features.
As passing --bpf-event is an explicit action performed by the user, perhaps we
should emit a warning telling that the kernel has no such feature, but this can
be done on top of this patch.
Now with a kernel that supports these events, start the 'record --bpf-event -a'
and then run 'perf trace sleep 10000' that will use the BPF
augmented_raw_syscalls.o prebuilt (for another kernel version even) and thus
should generate PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT events:
[root@quaco ~]# perf record -e dummy -a --bpf-event
^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.713 MB perf.data ]

This patch handles PERF_RECORD_KSYMBOL in perf record/report.
Specifically, map and symbol are created for ksymbol register, and
removed for ksymbol unregister.
This patch also sets perf_event_attr.ksymbol properly. The flag is ON by
default.
Committer notes:
Use proper inttypes.h for u64, fixing the build in some environments
like in the android NDK r15c targetting ARM 32-bit.
I.e. fixing this build error:

At some point we'll do this with eBPF, this way we stop them at origin,

This simply adds the field to 'struct perf_evsel' and allows setting
it via the event parser, to test it lets trace trace:
First look at where in a function that receives an evsel we can put a probe
to read how evsel->max_events was setup:
# perf probe -x ~/bin/perf -L trace__event_handler
<trace__event_handler@/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/builtin-trace.c:0>
0 static int trace__event_handler(struct trace *trace, struct perf_evsel *evsel,
union perf_event *event __maybe_unused,
struct perf_sample *sample)
3 {
4 struct thread *thread = machine__findnew_thread(trace->host, sample->pid, sample->tid);
5 int callchain_ret = 0;
7 if (sample->callchain) {
8 callchain_ret = trace__resolve_callchain(trace, evsel, sample, &callchain_cursor);
9 if (callchain_ret == 0) {
10 if (callchain_cursor.nr < trace->min_stack)
11 goto out;
12 callchain_ret = 1;
}
}
See what variables we can probe at line 7:
# perf probe -x ~/bin/perf -V trace__event_handler:7
Available variables at trace__event_handler:7
@<trace__event_handler+89>
int callchain_ret
struct perf_evsel* evsel
struct perf_sample* sample
struct thread* thread
struct trace* trace
union perf_event* event
Add a probe at that line asking for evsel->max_events to be collected and named
as "max_events":
# perf probe -x ~/bin/perf trace__event_handler:7 'max_events=evsel->max_events'
Added new event:
probe_perf:trace__event_handler (on trace__event_handler:7 in /home/acme/bin/perf with max_events=evsel->max_events)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe_perf:trace__event_handler -aR sleep 1
Now use 'perf trace', here aliased to just 'trace' and trace trace, i.e.
the first 'trace' is tracing just that 'probe_perf:trace__event_handler' event,
while the traced trace is tracing all scheduler tracepoints, will stop at two
events (--max-events 2) and will just set evsel->max_events for all the sched
tracepoints to 9, we will see the output of both traces intermixed:
# trace -e *perf:*event_handler trace --max-events 2 -e sched:*/nr=9/
0.000 :0/0 sched:sched_waking:comm=rcu_sched pid=10 prio=120 target_cpu=000
0.009 :0/0 sched:sched_wakeup:comm=rcu_sched pid=10 prio=120 target_cpu=000
0.000 trace/23949 probe_perf:trace__event_handler:(48c34a) max_events=0x9
0.046 trace/23949 probe_perf:trace__event_handler:(48c34a) max_events=0x9
#
Now, if the traced trace sends its output to /dev/null, we'll see just
what the first level trace outputs: that evsel->max_events is indeed
being set to 9:
# trace -e *perf:*event_handler trace -o /dev/null --max-events 2 -e sched:*/nr=9/
0.000 trace/23961 probe_perf:trace__event_handler:(48c34a) max_events=0x9
0.030 trace/23961 probe_perf:trace__event_handler:(48c34a) max_events=0x9
#
Now that we can set evsel->max_events, we can go to the next step, honour that
per-event property in 'perf trace'.

'perf record' will error out if both --delay and LBR are applied.
For example:
# perf record -D 1000 -a -e cycles -j any -- sleep 2
Error:
dummy:HG: PMU Hardware doesn't support sampling/overflow-interrupts.
Try 'perf stat'
#
A dummy event is added implicitly for initial delay, which has the same
configurations as real sampling events. The dummy event is a software
event. If LBR is configured, perf must error out.
The dummy event will only be used to track PERF_RECORD_MMAP while perf
waits for the initial delay to enable the real events. The BRANCH_STACK
bit can be safely cleared for the dummy event.
After applying the patch:
# perf record -D 1000 -a -e cycles -j any -- sleep 2

There's no reason to have separate function to display clock events.
It's only purpose was to convert the nanosecond value into microseconds.
We do that now in generic code, if the unit and scale values are
properly set, which this patch do for clock events.
The output differs in the unit field being displayed in its columns
rather than having it added as a suffix of the event name. Plus the
value is rounded into 2 decimal numbers as for any other event.
Before:
# perf stat -e cpu-clock,task-clock -C 0 sleep 3
Performance counter stats for 'CPU(s) 0':
3001.123137 cpu-clock (msec) # 1.000 CPUs utilized
3001.133250 task-clock (msec) # 1.000 CPUs utilized
3.001159813 seconds time elapsed
Now:
# perf stat -e cpu-clock,task-clock -C 0 sleep 3
Performance counter stats for 'CPU(s) 0':
3,001.05 msec cpu-clock # 1.000 CPUs utilized
3,001.05 msec task-clock # 1.000 CPUs utilized
3.001077794 seconds time elapsed
There's a small difference in csv output, as we now output the unit
field, which was empty before. It's in the proper spot, so there's no
compatibility issue.

This will actually get more uses as we check that instead of

Perf doesn't support mixed events from different PMUs (except software
event) in a group. The perf stat should output <not counted>/<not
supported> for all events, but it doesn't. For example,
perf stat -e '{cycles,uncore_imc_5/umask=0xF,event=0x4/,instructions}'
<not counted> cycles
<not supported> uncore_imc_5/umask=0xF,event=0x4/
1,024,300 instructions
If perf fails to open an event, it doesn't error out directly. It will
disable some features and retry, until the event is opened or all
features are disabled. The disabled features will not be re-enabled. The
group read is one of these features.
For the example as above, the IMC event and the leader event "cycles"
are from different PMUs. Opening the IMC event must fail. The group read
feature must be disabled for IMC event and the followed event
"instructions". The "instructions" event has the same PMU as the leader
"cycles". It can be opened successfully. Since the group read feature
has been disabled, the "instructions" event will be read as a single
event, which definitely has a value.
The group read fallback is still useful for the case which kernel
doesn't support group read. It is good enough to be handled only by the
leader.
For the fallback request from members, it must be caused by an error.
The fallback only breaks the semantics of group. Limit the group read
fallback only for the leader.
Committer testing:
On a broadwell t450s notebook:
Before:
# perf stat -e '{cycles,unc_cbo_cache_lookup.read_i,instructions}' sleep 1

The 'perf stat' fallback for EACCES error sets the exclude_kernel
perf_event_attr and tries perf_event_open() again with it. In addition,
it also changes the name of the event to reflect that change by adding
the 'u' modifier.
But it does not take into account the '/' separator, so the event name
can end up mangled, like: (note the '/:' characters)
$ perf stat -e cpu/cpu-cycles/ kill
...
386,832 cpu/cpu-cycles/:u
Adding the code to check on the '/' separator and set the following
correct event name:
$ perf stat -e cpu/cpu-cycles/ kill

to enable CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS. This is misleading because:

- The problem is usually somewhere else, e.g. the CPU is not supported

To simplify creation of events accross multiple instances of the same
type of PMU stat supports two methods for creating multiple events from
a single event specification:
1. A prefix or glob can be used in the PMU name.
2. Aliases, which are listed immediately after the Kernel PMU events
by perf list, are used.
When the --no-merge option is passed and these events are displayed
individually the PMU name is lost and it's not possible to see which
count corresponds to which pmu:
$ perf stat -a -e l3cache/read-miss/ --no-merge ls > /dev/null
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
67 l3cache/read-miss/
67 l3cache/read-miss/

$ perf stat -a -e l3cache_read_miss --no-merge ls > /dev/null

12 l3cache_read_miss
17 l3cache_read_miss
10 l3cache_read_miss
8 l3cache_read_miss
0.001661305 seconds time elapsed
This change adds the original pmu name to the event. For dynamic pmu
events the pmu name is restored in the event name:
$ perf stat -a -e l3cache/read-miss/ --no-merge ls > /dev/null
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
63 l3cache_0_3/read-miss/

For alias events the name is added after the event name:
$ perf stat -a -e l3cache_read_miss --no-merge ls > /dev/null

It is not really closing the cgroup, but instead dropping a reference
count and if it hits zero, then calling delete, which will, among other
cleanup shores, close the cgroup fd.
So it is really dropping a reference to that cgroup, and the method name
for that is "put", so rename close_cgroup() to cgroup__put() to follow
this naming convention.

If we execute 'perf stat --per-thread' with non-root account (even set
kernel.perf_event_paranoid = -1 yet), it reports the error:

Error:
You may not have permission to collect system-wide stats.
Consider tweaking /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid,
which controls use of the performance events system by
unprivileged users (without CAP_SYS_ADMIN).
The current value is 2:
-1: Allow use of (almost) all events by all users
Ignore mlock limit after perf_event_mlock_kb without CAP_IPC_LOCK
>= 0: Disallow ftrace function tracepoint by users without CAP_SYS_ADMIN
Disallow raw tracepoint access by users without CAP_SYS_ADMIN
>= 1: Disallow CPU event access by users without CAP_SYS_ADMIN
>= 2: Disallow kernel profiling by users without CAP_SYS_ADMIN
To make this setting permanent, edit /etc/sysctl.conf too, e.g.:
kernel.perf_event_paranoid = -1
Perhaps the ptrace rule doesn't allow to trace some processes. But anyway
the global --per-thread mode had better ignore such errors and continue
working on other threads.
This patch will record the index of error thread in perf_evsel__open()
and remove this thread before retrying.

Committer note:
When we use -c or a period=N term in the event definition, then we don't
need to ask the kernel, for this event, via perf_event_attr.sample_type

When we use a global DWARF setting as in:
perf record --call-graph dwarf
According to 5c0cf22477 ("perf record: Store data mmaps for dwarf unwind") we need
to set up some extra perf_event_attr bits.
But when we instead do a per event dwarf setting:
perf record -e cycles/call-graph=dwarf/
This was not being done, make them equivalent.
This didn't produce any output changes in my tests while fixing up loose
ends in the per-event settings, I found it just by comparing the
perf_event_attr fields trying to find an explanation for those problems.

When setting the "dwarf" unwinder for a specific event and not
specifying the max-stack, the attr.sample_max_stack ended up using an
uninitialized callchain_param.max_stack, fix it by using designated
initializers for that callchain_param variable, zeroing all non
explicitely initialized struct members.
Here is what happened:
# perf trace -vv --no-syscalls --max-stack 4 -e probe_libc:inet_pton/call-graph=dwarf/ ping -6 -c 1 ::1
callchain: type DWARF
callchain: stack dump size 8192

sample_stack_user 8192
sample_max_stack 50656
sys_perf_event_open failed, error -75

# perf trace -vv --no-syscalls --max-stack 4 -e probe_libc:inet_pton/call-graph=dwarf/ ping -6 -c 1 ::1
callchain: type DWARF

#
Now the attr.sample_max_stack is set to zero and the above works as

While monitoring a multithread process with pid option, perf sometimes
may return sys_perf_event_open failure with 3(No such process) if any of
the process's threads die before we open the event. However, we want
perf continue monitoring the remaining threads and do not exit with
error.
Here, the patch enables perf_evsel::ignore_missing_thread for -p option
to ignore complete failure if any of threads die before we open the event.
But it may still return sys_perf_event_open failure with 22(Invalid) if we
monitors several event groups.
sys_perf_event_open: pid 28960 cpu 40 group_fd 118202 flags 0x8
sys_perf_event_open: pid 28961 cpu 40 group_fd 118203 flags 0x8
WARNING: Ignored open failure for pid 28962
sys_perf_event_open: pid 28962 cpu 40 group_fd [118203] flags 0x8
sys_perf_event_open failed, error -22
That is because when we ignore a missing thread, we change the thread_idx
without dealing with its fds, FD(evsel, cpu, thread). Then get_group_fd()
may return a wrong group_fd for the next thread and sys_perf_event_open()
return with 22.
sys_perf_event_open(){
...
if (group_fd != -1)
perf_fget_light()//to get corresponding group_leader by group_fd
...
if (group_leader)
if (group_leader->ctx->task != ctx->task)//should on the same task
goto err_context
...
}
This patch also fixes this bug by introducing perf_evsel__remove_fd() and
update_fds to allow removing fds for the missing thread.
Changes since v1:
- Change group_fd__remove() into a more genetic way without changing code logic
- Remove redundant condition
Changes since v2:
- Use a proper function name and add some comment.
- Multiline comment style fixes.
Committer testing:
Before this patch the recently added 'perf stat --per-thread' for system
wide counting would race while enumerating all threads using /proc:
[root@jouet ~]# perf stat --per-thread
failed to parse CPUs map: No such file or directory
Usage: perf stat [<options>] [<command>]
-C, --cpu <cpu> list of cpus to monitor in system-wide
-a, --all-cpus system-wide collection from all CPUs
[root@jouet ~]# perf stat --per-thread
failed to parse CPUs map: No such file or directory
Usage: perf stat [<options>] [<command>]
-C, --cpu <cpu> list of cpus to monitor in system-wide
-a, --all-cpus system-wide collection from all CPUs
[root@jouet ~]#
When, say, the kernel was being built, so lots of shortlived threads,
after this patch this doesn't happen.

When we detect a different endianity we swap event before processing.
It's tricky for samples because we have no idea what's inside. We treat
it as an array of u64s, swap them and later on we swap back parts which
are different.
We mangle this way also the tracepoint raw data, which ends up in report
showing wrong data:
1.95% comm=Q^B pid=29285 prio=16777216 target_cpu=000
1.67% comm=l^B pid=0 prio=16777216 target_cpu=000
Luckily the traceevent library handles the endianity by itself (thank
you Steven!), so we can pass the RAW data directly in the other
endianity.
2.51% comm=beah-rhts-task pid=1175 prio=120 target_cpu=002
2.23% comm=kworker/0:0 pid=11566 prio=120 target_cpu=000
The fix is basically to swap back the raw data if different endianity is
detected.

The Intel PMU event aliases have a implicit period= specifier to set the
default period.
Unfortunately this breaks overriding these periods with -c or -F,
because the alias terms look like they are user specified to the
internal parser, and user specified event qualifiers override the
command line options.
Track that they are coming from aliases by adding a "weak" state to the
term. Any weak terms don't override command line options.
I only did it for -c/-F for now, I think that's the only case that's
broken currently.

Yet another fix for probing the max attr.precise_ip setting: it is not
enough settting attr.exclude_kernel for !root users, as they _can_
profile the kernel if the kernel.perf_event_paranoid sysctl is set to
-1, so check that as well.
Testing it:
As non root:
$ sysctl kernel.perf_event_paranoid
kernel.perf_event_paranoid = 2
$ perf record sleep 1
$ perf evlist -v
cycles:uppp: ..., exclude_kernel: 1, ... precise_ip: 3, ...
Now as non-root, but with kernel.perf_event_paranoid set set to the
most permissive value, -1:
$ sysctl kernel.perf_event_paranoid
kernel.perf_event_paranoid = -1
$ perf record sleep 1
$ perf evlist -v
cycles:ppp: ..., exclude_kernel: 0, ... precise_ip: 3, ...
$
I.e. non-root, default kernel.perf_event_paranoid: :uppp modifier = not allowed to sample the kernel,
non-root, most permissible kernel.perf_event_paranoid: :ppp = allowed to sample the kernel.
In both cases, use the highest available precision: attr.precise_ip = 3.

The event is allocated with cpus == 1, but freed with cpus == real number
When the evsel close function walks the file descriptors it exceeds the
fd xyarray boundaries and reads random memory.
v2:
Now that xyarrays save their original dimensions we can use these to
iterate the two dimensional fd arrays. Fix some users (close, ioctl) in
evsel.c to use these fields directly. This allows simplifying the code
and dropping quite a few function arguments. Adjust all callers by
removing the unneeded arguments.
The actual perf event reading still uses the original values from the
evsel list.

Make perf stat use group read if there are groups defined. The group
read will get the values for all member of groups within a single
syscall instead of calling read syscall for every event.
We can see considerable less amount of kernel cycles spent on single
group read, than reading each event separately, like for following perf
stat command:
# perf stat -e {cycles,instructions} -I 10 -a sleep 1
Monitored with "perf stat -r 5 -e '{cycles:u,cycles:k}'"
Before:
24,325,676 cycles:u
297,040,775 cycles:k
1.038554134 seconds time elapsed
After:
25,034,418 cycles:u

Macro fusion merges two instructions to a single micro-op. Intel core
platform performs this hardware optimization under limited
circumstances.
For example, CMP + JCC can be "fused" and executed /retired together.
While with sampling this can result in the sample sometimes being on the
JCC and sometimes on the CMP. So for the fused instruction pair, they
could be considered together.
On Nehalem, fused instruction pairs:
cmp/test + jcc.
On other new CPU:
cmp/test/add/sub/and/inc/dec + jcc.
This patch adds an x86-specific function which checks if 2 instructions
are in a "fused" pair. For non-x86 arch, the function is just NULL.
Changelog:
v4: Move the CPU model checking to symbol__disassemble and save the CPU
family/model in arch structure.
It avoids checking every time when jump arrow printed.
v3: Add checking for Nehalem (CMP, TEST). For other newer Intel CPUs
just check it by default (CMP, TEST, ADD, SUB, AND, INC, DEC).
v2: Remove the original weak function. Arnaldo points out that doing it
as a weak function that will be overridden by the host arch doesn't
work. So now it's implemented as an arch-specific function.
Committer fix:
Do not access evsel->evlist->env->cpuid, ->env can be null, introduce
perf_evsel__env_cpuid(), just like perf_evsel__env_arch(), also used in
this function call.
The original patch was segfaulting 'perf top' + annotation.
But this essentially disables this fused instructions augmentation in
'perf top', the right thing is to get the cpuid from the running kernel,
left for a later patch tho.

When no event is specified perf will use the "cycles" hardware event
with the highest precision available in the processor, and excluding
kernel events for non-root users, so make that clear in the event name
by setting the "u" event modifier, i.e. "cycles:upp".
E.g.:
The default for root:
# perf record usleep 1
# perf evlist -v
cycles:ppp: ..., precise_ip: 3, exclude_kernel: 0, ...
#
And for !root:
$ perf record usleep 1
$ perf evlist -v
cycles:uppp: ... , precise_ip: 3, exclude_kernel: 1, ...

We should set attr.exclude_kernel when probing for attr.precise_ip
level, otherwise !CAP_SYS_ADMIN users will not default to skidless
samples in capable hardware.
The increase in the paranoid level in commit 0161028b7c ("perf/core:
Change the default paranoia level to 2") broke this, fix it by excluding
kernel samples when probing.
Before:
$ perf record usleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.018 MB perf.data (6 samples) ]
$ perf evlist -v
cycles:u: sample_freq: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|PERIOD, exclude_kernel: 1
After:
$ perf record usleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.018 MB perf.data (8 samples) ]
$ perf evlist -v
cycles:ppp: sample_freq: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|PERIOD, exclude_kernel: 1, precise_ip: 3
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
$
To further clarify: we always set .exclude_kernel when non !CAP_SYS_ADMIN
users profile, its just on the attr.precise_ip probing that we weren't doing
so, fix it.

Since commit 18e7a45af9 ("perf/x86: Reject non sampling events with
precise_ip") returns -EINVAL for sys_perf_event_open() with an attribute
with (attr.precise_ip > 0 && attr.sample_period == 0), just like is done
in the routine used to probe the max precise level when no events were
passed to 'perf record' or 'perf top', i.e.:
perf_evsel__new_cycles()
perf_event_attr__set_max_precise_ip()
The x86 code, in x86_pmu_hw_config(), which is called all the way from
sys_perf_event_open() did, starting with the aforementioned commit:
/* There's no sense in having PEBS for non sampling events: */
if (!is_sampling_event(event))
return -EINVAL;
Which makes it fail for cycles:ppp, cycles:pp and cycles:p, always using
just the non precise cycles variant.
To make sure that this is the case, I tested it, before this patch,
with:
# perf probe -L x86_pmu_hw_config
<x86_pmu_hw_config@/home/acme/git/linux/arch/x86/events/core.c:0>
0 int x86_pmu_hw_config(struct perf_event *event)
1 {
2 if (event->attr.precise_ip) {
<SNIP>
17 if (event->attr.precise_ip > precise)
18 return -EOPNOTSUPP;
/* There's no sense in having PEBS for non sampling events: */
21 if (!is_sampling_event(event))
22 return -EINVAL;
}
<SNIP>
# perf probe x86_pmu_hw_config:22

probe:x86_pmu_hw_config_1 (on x86_pmu_hw_config:22)

The probe one called from perf_event_attr__set_max_precise_ip() works
the first time, with attr.precise_ip = 3, wit hthe next ones being the
per cpu ones for the cycles:ppp event.
And here is the text from a report and alternative proposed patch by
Thomas-Mich Richter:
---
On s390 the counter and sampling facility do not support a precise IP
skid level and sometimes returns EOPNOTSUPP when structure member
precise_ip in struct perf_event_attr is not set to zero.
On s390 commnd 'perf record -- true' fails with error EOPNOTSUPP. This
happens only when no events are specified on command line.
The functions called are
...
--> perf_evlist__add_default
--> perf_evsel__new_cycles
--> perf_event_attr__set_max_precise_ip
The last function determines the value of structure member precise_ip by
invoking the perf_event_open() system call and checking the return code.
The first successful open is the value for precise_ip.
However the value is determined without setting member sample_period and
indicates no sampling.
On s390 the counter facility and sampling facility are different. The
above procedure determines a precise_ip value of 3 using the counter
facility. Later it uses the sampling facility with a value of 3 and
fails with EOPNOTSUPP.
---
v2: Older compilers (e.g. gcc 4.4.7) don't support referencing members
of unnamed union members in the container struct initialization, so
move from:
struct perf_event_attr attr = {
...
.sample_period = 1,
};
to right after it as:
struct perf_event_attr attr = {
...
};
attr.sample_period = 1;
v3: We need to reset .sample_period to 0 to let the users of
perf_evsel__new_cycles() to properly setup attr.sample_period or
attr.sample_freq. Reported by Ingo Molnar.

(This is a patch has been sitting in the Intel CQM/CMT driver series for
a while, despite not depend on it. Sending it now independently since
the series is being discarded.)
When an event is in error state, read() returns 0 instead of sizeof()
buffer. In certain modes, such as interval printing, ignoring the 0
return value may cause bogus count deltas to be computed and thus
invalid results printed.
This patch fixes this problem by modifying read_counters() to mark the
event as not scaled (scaled = -1) to force the printout routine to show
<NOT COUNTED>.

The kernel has a special check for a specific irq_vectors trace event.
TRACE_EVENT_PERF_PERM(irq_work_exit,
is_sampling_event(p_event) ? -EPERM : 0);
The perf-record fails for this irq_vectors event when it is present,
like when using a wildcard:
root@skl:/tmp# perf record -a -e irq_vectors:* sleep 2
Error:
You may not have permission to collect system-wide stats.
Consider tweaking /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid,
which controls use of the performance events system by
unprivileged users (without CAP_SYS_ADMIN).
The current value is 2:
-1: Allow use of (almost) all events by all users
>= 0: Disallow raw tracepoint access by users without CAP_IOC_LOCK
>= 1: Disallow CPU event access by users without CAP_SYS_ADMIN
>= 2: Disallow kernel profiling by users without CAP_SYS_ADMIN
To make this setting permanent, edit /etc/sysctl.conf too, e.g.:
kernel.perf_event_paranoid = -1
This patch prints out the exact sub event that failed with EPERM for
wildcards to help in understanding what went wrong when this event is
present:
After the patch:
root@skl:/tmp# perf record -a -e irq_vectors:* sleep 2
Error:
No permission to enable irq_vectors:irq_work_exit event.
You may not have permission to collect system-wide stats.
......
Committer notes:
So we have a lot of irq_vectors events:
[root@jouet ~]# perf list irq_vectors:*
List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e):
irq_vectors:call_function_entry [Tracepoint event]
irq_vectors:call_function_exit [Tracepoint event]

irq_vectors:x86_platform_ipi_entry [Tracepoint event]
irq_vectors:x86_platform_ipi_exit [Tracepoint event]
#
And some may be sampled:
[root@jouet ~]# perf record -e irq_vectors:local* sleep 20s
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.020 MB perf.data (2 samples) ]
[root@jouet ~]# perf report -D | egrep 'stats:|events:'

irq_vectors:local_timer_entry stats:

SAMPLE events: 1
irq_vectors:local_timer_exit stats:

[root@jouet ~]#
But, as shown in the tracepoint definition at the start of this message,
some, like "irq_vectors:irq_work_exit", may not be sampled, just counted,
i.e. if we try to sample, as when using 'perf record', we get an error:
[root@jouet ~]# perf record -e irq_vectors:irq_work_exit
Error:
You may not have permission to collect system-wide stats.

<SNIP>
The error message is misleading, this patch will help in pointing out
what is the event causing such an error, but the error message needs
improvement, i.e. we need to figure out a way to check if a tracepoint
is counting only, like this one, when all we can do is to count it with
'perf stat', at most printing the delta using interval printing, as in:
[root@jouet ~]# perf stat -I 5000 -e irq_vectors:irq_work_*
# time counts unit events
5.000168871 0 irq_vectors:irq_work_entry
5.000168871 0 irq_vectors:irq_work_exit
10.000676730 0 irq_vectors:irq_work_entry
10.000676730 0 irq_vectors:irq_work_exit
15.001122415 0 irq_vectors:irq_work_entry
15.001122415 0 irq_vectors:irq_work_exit
20.001298051 0 irq_vectors:irq_work_entry
20.001298051 0 irq_vectors:irq_work_exit
25.001485020 1 irq_vectors:irq_work_entry

^C 32.045711878 0 irq_vectors:irq_work_entry
32.045711878 0 irq_vectors:irq_work_exit
[root@jouet ~]#
But at least, when we use a wildcard, this patch helps a bit.

Add generic infrastructure to perf stat to output ratios for
"MetricExpr" entries in the event lists. Many events are more useful as
ratios than in raw form, typically some count in relation to total
ticks.
Transfer the MetricExpr information from the alias to the evsel.
We mark the events that need to be collected for MetricExpr, and also
link the events using them with a pointer. The code is careful to always
prefer the right event in the same group to minimize multiplexing
errors. At the moment only a single relation is supported.
Then add a rblist to the stat shadow code that remembers stats based on
the cpu and context.
Then finally update and retrieve and print these values similarly to the
existing hardcoded perf metrics. We use the simple expression parser
added earlier to evaluate the expression.
Normally we just output the result without further commentary, but for
--metric-only this would lead to empty columns. So for this case use the
original event as description.
There is no attempt to automatically add the MetricExpr event, if it is
missing, however we suggest it to the user, because the user tool
doesn't have enough information to reliably construct a group that is
guaranteed to schedule. So we leave that to the user.

Introduce a new option to record PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES events emitted
by the kernel when fork, clone, setns or unshare are invoked. And update

Combined it with a later patch to allow printing it via 'perf report -D'
and be able to test the feature introduced in this patch. Had to move
here also perf_ns__name(), that was introduced in another later patch.

Adding perf_evsel::ignore_missing_cpu_thread bool.
When set true, it allows perf to ignore error of missing pid of perf
event syscall.
We remove missing thread id from the thread_map, so the rest of the
processing like ioctl and mmap won't get disturbed with -1 fd.
The reason for supporting this is to ease up monitoring group of pids,
that 'disappear' before perf opens their event. This currently leads
perf to report error and exit and makes perf record's -u option unusable
under certain setup.
With this change we will allow this race and ignore such failure with
following warning:

It can be useful to specify branch type state per event, for example if
we want to collect both software trace points and last branch PMU events
in a single collection. Currently this doesn't work because the software
trace point errors out with -b.
There was already a branch-type parameter to configure branch sample
types per event in the parser, but it was stubbed out. This patch
implements the necessary plumbing to actually enable it.
Now:
$ perf record -e sched:sched_switch,cpu/cpu-cycles,branch_type=any/ ...
works.

Experimenting a bit using cppcheck[1], a static checker brought to my
attention by Colin, reducing the scope of some variables, reducing the
line of source code lines in the process:
$ cppcheck --enable=style tools/perf/util/thread.c
Checking tools/perf/util/thread.c...
[tools/perf/util/thread.c:17]: (style) The scope of the variable 'leader' can be reduced.
[tools/perf/util/thread.c:133]: (style) The scope of the variable 'err' can be reduced.
[tools/perf/util/thread.c:273]: (style) The scope of the variable 'err' can be reduced.
Will continue later, but these are already useful, keep them.

We have to check if the values are >= *_MAX, not just >, fix it.
From the bugzilla report:
''In file /tools/perf/util/evsel.c function __perf_evsel__hw_cache_name
it appears that there is a bug that reads beyond the end of the buffer.
The statement "if (type > PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_MAX)" allows type to be
equal to the maximum value. Later, when statement "if
(!perf_evsel__is_cache_op_valid(type, op))" is executed, the function
can access array perf_evsel__hw_cache_stat[type] beyond the end of the
buffer.
It appears to me that the statement "if (type > PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_MAX)"
should be "if (type >= PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_MAX)"
Bug found with Coverity and manual code review. No attempts were made to
execute the code with a maximum type value.''

This patch allows following config terms and option:
Globally setting events to overwrite;
# perf record --overwrite ...
Set specific events to be overwrite or no-overwrite.
# perf record --event cycles/overwrite/ ...
# perf record --event cycles/no-overwrite/ ...
Add missing config terms and update the config term array size because
the longest string length has changed.
For overwritable events, it automatically selects attr.write_backward
since perf requires it to be backward for reading.
Test result:
# perf record --overwrite -e syscalls:*enter_nanosleep* usleep 1

[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.011 MB perf.data (1 samples) ]

evsel->overwrite indicator means an event should be put into
overwritable ring buffer. In current implementation, it equals to
evsel->attr.write_backward. To reduce compliexity, remove
evsel->overwrite, use evsel->attr.write_backward instead.
In addition, in __perf_evsel__open(), if kernel doesn't support
write_backward and user explicitly set it in evsel, don't fallback
like other missing feature, since it is meaningless to fall back to
a forward ring buffer in this case: we are unable to stably read
from an forward overwritable ring buffer.

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.

Commit b90dc17a5d "perf evsel: Add overwrite attribute and check
write_backward" misunderstood the 'order' should be obeyed in
__perf_evsel__open.
But the way this was done for attr.write_backwards was buggy, as we need
to check features in the inverse order of their introduction to the
kernel, so that a newer tool checks first the newest perf_event_attr
fields, detecting that the older kernel doesn't have support for them.
Also, we can avoid calling sys_perf_event_open() if we have already
detected the missing of write_backward.

Out of perf_evsel__intval(), that requires passing the variable name,
that will then be searched in the list of tracepoint variables for the

In cases such as syscall file descriptor ("fd") tracking, this is
wasteful, we need just to use perf_evsel__field() and cache the

This allows (with a previous change to the perf error return ABI) for
calling out in userspace the exact reason for perf record failing
when PMU doesn't support overflow interrupts.
Note that this needs to be put ahead of existing precise_ip check as
that gets hit otherwise for the sampling fail case as well.

We were showing a hardcoded default value for the kernel.perf_event_paranoid
sysctl, now that it became more paranoid (1 -> 2 [1]), this would need to be
updated, instead show the current value:
[acme@jouet linux]$ perf record ls
Error:
You may not have permission to collect stats.
Consider tweaking /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid,
which controls use of the performance events system by
unprivileged users (without CAP_SYS_ADMIN).
The current value is 2:
-1: Allow use of (almost) all events by all users
>= 0: Disallow raw tracepoint access by users without CAP_IOC_LOCK
>= 1: Disallow CPU event access by users without CAP_SYS_ADMIN
>= 2: Disallow kernel profiling by users without CAP_SYS_ADMIN

Now we can see if it is set when using verbose mode in various tools,
such as 'perf test':
