David Hildenbrand 73dbcd6537 perf callchain: Fix kernel symbol resolution by remembering the cpumode
Commit 2e77784bb7 ("perf callchain: Move cpumode resolve code to
add_callchain_ip") promised "No change in behavior.".

As this commit breaks callchains on s390x (symbols not getting resolved,
observed when profiling the kernel), this statement is wrong. The cpumode
must be kept when iterating over all ips, otherwise the default
(PERF_RECORD_MISC_USER) will be used by error.

Jiri Olsa bc84f46486 perf tools: Try to lookup kernel module map before creating one
Currently we assume machine__new_module is called only once for each
module so we create its map&dso unconditionally.

However it's possible that it's called multiple times for same module.
Like for perf record:

  1) via machine__create_module during machine init
  2) via kernel MMAP event processing

Trying to lookup kernel module map before creating one.

Jiri Olsa da17ea33e5 perf tools: Add machine__module_dso function
Separate the dso object addition and update when adding new kernel
module.

Currently we update dso's symtab_type any time we find it in the list,
because we can't distinguish between new and found dso from
__dsos__findnew function.

Adding machine__module_dso that separates finding and adding new dso
objects, so there's no superfluous update of dso.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo f3b623b849 perf tools: Reference count struct thread
We need to do that to stop accumulating entries in the dead_threads
linked list, i.e. we were keeping references to threads in struct hists
that continue to exist even after a thread exited and was removed from
the machine threads rbtree.

We still keep the dead_threads list, but just for debugging, allowing us
to iterate at any given point over the threads that still are referenced
by things like struct hist_entry.

Kan Liang 384b60557b perf tools: Construct LBR call chain
LBR call stack only has user-space callchains. It is output in the
PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK data format. For kernel callchains, it's
still in the form of PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN.

The perf tool has to handle both data sources to construct a
complete callstack.

For the "perf report -D" option, both lbr and fp information will be
displayed.

A new call chain recording option "lbr" is introduced into the perf
tool for LBR call stack. The user can use --call-graph lbr to get
the call stack information from hardware.

Here are some examples.

When profiling bc(1) on Fedora 19:

  echo 'scale=2000; 4*a(1)' > cmd; perf record --call-graph lbr bc -l < cmd

If enabling LBR, perf report output looks like:

The LBR call stack has the following known limitations:

 - Zero length calls are not filtered out by the hardware

 - Exception handing such as setjmp/longjmp will have calls/returns not
   match

 - Pushing different return address onto the stack will have
   calls/returns not match

 - If callstack is deeper than the LBR, only the last entries are
   captured

Andi Kleen 8b7bad58ef perf callchain: Support handling complete branch stacks as histograms
Currently branch stacks can be only shown as edge histograms for
individual branches. I never found this display particularly useful.

This implements an alternative mode that creates histograms over
complete branch traces, instead of individual branches, similar to how
normal callgraphs are handled. This is done by putting it in front of
the normal callgraph and then using the normal callgraph histogram
infrastructure to unify them.

This way in complex functions we can understand the control flow that
lead to a particular sample, and may even see some control flow in the
caller for short functions.

Example (simplified, of course for such simple code this is usually not
needed), please run this after the whole patchkit is in, as at this
point in the patch order there is no --branch-history, that will be
added in a patch after this one:

tcall.c:

volatile a = 10000, b = 100000, c;

__attribute__((noinline)) f2()
{
	c = a / b;
}

__attribute__((noinline)) f1()
{
	f2();
	f2();
}
main()
{
	int i;
	for (i = 0; i < 1000000; i++)
		f1();
}

The default output is unchanged.

This is only implemented in perf report, no change to record or anywhere
else.

This adds the basic code to report:

- add a new "branch" option to the -g option parser to enable this mode
- when the flag is set include the LBR into the callstack in machine.c.

The rest of the history code is unchanged and doesn't know the
difference between LBR entry and normal call entry.

- detect overlaps with the callchain
- remove small loop duplicates in the LBR

Current limitations:

- The LBR flags (mispredict etc.) are not shown in the history
and LBR entries have no special marker.
- It would be nice if annotate marked the LBR entries somehow
(e.g. with arrows)

v2: Various fixes.
v3: Merge further patches into this one. Fix white space.
v4: Improve manpage. Address review feedback.
v5: Rename functions. Better error message without -g. Fix crash without
    -b.
v6: Rebase
v7: Rebase. Use NO_ENTRY in memset.
v8: Port to latest tip. Move add_callchain_ip to separate
    patch. Skip initial entries in callchain. Minor cleanups.

Jiri reported that the commit 96d78059d6 ("perf tools: Make vmlinux

When processing kernel mmap event, it should access the 'kernel'
variable as sometimes it cannot find a matching dso from build-id table
so 'dso' might be invalid.

Namhyung Kim b837a8bdc4 perf tools: Fix build-id matching on vmlinux
There's a problem on finding correct kernel symbols when perf report
runs on a different kernel.  Although a part of the problem was solved
by the prior commit 0a7e6d1b68 ("perf tools: Check recorded kernel
version when finding vmlinux"), there's a remaining problem still.

When perf records samples, it synthesizes the kernel map using
machine__mmap_name() and ref_reloc_sym like "[kernel.kallsyms]_text".
You can easily see it using 'perf report -D' command.

After finishing record, it goes through the recorded events to find
maps/dsos actually used.  And then record build-id info of them.

During this process, it needs to load symbols in a dso and it'd call
dso__load_vmlinux_path() since the default value of the symbol_conf.
try_vmlinux_path is true.  However it changes dso->long_name to a real
path of the vmlinux file (e.g. /lib/modules/3.16.4/build/vmlinux) if one
is running on a custom kernel.

It resulted in that perf report reads the build-id of the vmlinux, but
cannot use it since it only knows about the [kernel.kallsyms] map.  It
then falls back to possible vmlinux paths by using the recorded kernel
version (in case of a recent version) or a running kernel silently.

Even with the recent tools, this still has a possibility of breaking
the result.  As the build directory is a symbolic link, if one built a
new kernel in the same directory with different source/config, the old
link to vmlinux will point the new file.  So it's absolutely needed to
use build-id when finding a kernel image.

In this patch, it's now changed to try to search a kernel dso in the
existing dso list which was constructed during build-id table parsing
so it'll always have a build-id.  If not found, search "[kernel.kallsyms]".

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo e167f995e2 perf machine: Add missing dsos->root rbtree root initialization
A segfault happens on 'perf test hists_link' because we end up using a
struct machines on the stack, and then machines__init() was not
initializing the newly introduced rb_root, just the existing list_head.

When we introduced struct dsos, to group the two ways to store dsos,
i.e. the linked list and the rbtree, we didn't turned the initialization
done in:

	machines__init(machines->host) ->
		machine__init() ->
			INIT_LIST_HEAD

into a dsos__init() to keep on initializing the list_head but _as well_
initializing the rb_root, oops.

All worked because outside perf-test we probably zalloc the whole thing
which ends up initializing it in to NULL.

So the problem looks contained to 'perf test' that uses it on stack,
etc.

Waiman Long 4598a0a6d2 perf symbols: Improve DSO long names lookup speed with rbtree
With workload that spawns and destroys many threads and processes, it
was found that perf-mem could took a long time to post-process the perf
data after the target workload had completed its operation.

The performance bottleneck was found to be the lookup and insertion of
the new DSO structures (thousands of them in this case).

In a dual-socket Ivy-Bridge E7-4890 v2 machine (30-core, 60-thread), the
perf profile below shows what perf was doing after the profiled AIM7
shared workload completed:

-     83.94%  perf  libc-2.11.3.so     [.] __strcmp_sse42
   - __strcmp_sse42
      - 99.82% map__new
           machine__process_mmap_event
           perf_session_deliver_event
           perf_session__process_event
           __perf_session__process_events
           cmd_record
           cmd_mem
           run_builtin
           main
           __libc_start_main
-     13.17%  perf  perf               [.] __dsos__findnew
     __dsos__findnew
     map__new
     machine__process_mmap_event
     perf_session_deliver_event
     perf_session__process_event
     __perf_session__process_events
     cmd_record
     cmd_mem
     run_builtin
     main
     __libc_start_main

So about 97% of CPU times were spent in the map__new() function trying
to insert new DSO entry into the DSO linked list. The whole
post-processing step took about 9 minutes.

The DSO structures are currently searched linearly. So the total
processing time will be proportional to n^2.

To overcome this performance problem, the DSO code is modified to also
put the DSO structures in a RB tree sorted by its long name in
additional to being in a simple linked list. With this change, the
processing time will become proportional to n*log(n) which will be much
quicker for large n. However, the short name will still be searched
using the old linear searching method.  With that patch in place, the
same perf-mem post-processing step took less than 30 seconds to
complete.

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()

Don Zickus 06b2afc0b9 perf machine: Fallback to MAP__FUNCTION if daddr maps are NULL
As we run "perf c2c" on more applications, we noticed we're missing
significant samples from a common customer's application.  Looking at
the /proc/<pid>/maps file for the app, we see "rwxs" and "rwxp"
permissions on many of the shared memory & heap regions, and on all the
thread stacks.

Because those regions have the "x" bit set, perf marks them with a
MAP_FUNCTION type.  Hence ip_resolve_data() never finds load or store
events coming from them.

We fixed this by re-calling thread__find_addr_location with
MAP__FUNCTION in the case where map is NULL as a last ditch effort to
map the sample before giving up and dropping it.

Sukadev Bhattiprolu a60335ba32 perf tools powerpc: Adjust callchain based on DWARF debug info
When saving the callchain on Power, the kernel conservatively saves excess
entries in the callchain. A few of these entries are needed in some cases
but not others. We should use the DWARF debug information to determine
when the entries are  needed.

Eg: the value in the link register (LR) is needed only when it holds the
return address of a function. At other times it must be ignored.

If the unnecessary entries are not ignored, we end up with duplicate arcs
in the call-graphs.

Use the DWARF debug information to determine if any callchain entries
should be ignored when building call-graphs.

Simon Que a93f0e551a perf symbols: Get kernel start address by symbol name
The function machine__get_kernel_start_addr() was taking the first symbol
of kallsyms as the start address. This is incorrect in certain cases
where the first symbol is something at 0, while the actual kernel
functions begin at a later point (e.g. 0x80200000).

This patch fixes machine__get_kernel_start_addr() to search for the
symbol "_text" or "_stext", which marks the beginning of kernel mapping.
This was already being done in machine__create_kernel_maps(). Thus, this
patch is just a refactor, to move that code into
machine__get_kernel_start_addr().

Richard Yao 61d4290cc1 perf machine: Search for modules in %s/lib/modules/%s
Modules installed outside of the kernel's build system should go into
"%s/lib/modules/%s/extra", but at present, perf will only look at them
when they are in "%s/lib/modules/%s/kernel". Lets encourage good
citizenship by relaxing this requirement to "%s/lib/modules/%s". This
way open source modules that are out-of-tree have no incentive to start
populating a directory reserved for in-kernel modules and I can stop
hex-editing my system's perf binary when profiling OSS out-of-tree
modules.

Feedback from Namhyung Kim correctly revealed that the hex-edits that I
had been doing meant that perf was also traversing the build and source
symlinks in %s/lib/modules/%s. That is undesireable, so we explicitly
exclude them from traversal with a minor tweak to the traversal routine.

Don Zickus fdf57dd052 perf machine: Use map as success in ip__resolve_ams
When trying to map a bunch of instruction addresses to their respective
threads, I kept getting a lot of bogus entries [I forget the exact
reason as I patched my code months ago].

Looking through ip__resolve_ams, I noticed the check for

  if (al.sym)

and realized, most times I have an al.map definition but sometimes an
al.sym is undefined.  In the cases where al.sym is undefined, the loop
keeps going even though a valid al.map exists.

Modify this check to use the more reliable al.map.  This fixed my bogus
entries.

Jiri Olsa 352ea45a72 perf callchain: Add mask into struct regs_dump
Adding mask info into struct regs_dump to make the registers information
compact.

The mask was always passed along, so logically the mask info fits more
into the struct regs_dump.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 644f2df29f perf tools: Shorten sample symbol resolving function signature
Since two of the parameters come from the same 'struct
addr_location', rename machine__resolve_bstack() to sample__resolve_bstack()
and pass the that addr_location instead.

This is also for consistency with the same change that resulted in the
sample__resolve_mem() function.
