perf probe: Use elfutils-libdw for analyzing debuginfo

Newer gcc introduces newer & richer debuginfo, and only libdw
in elfutils project can support it. So perf probe moves onto
elfutils-libdw from libdwarf.

Changes in v3:
 - Cast Dwarf_Addr/Dwarf_Word to uintmax_t for printf-formats.
 - Recover a sign-prefix which was removed in v2 by mistake.

14 years agokprobes/x86: Support kprobes jump optimization on x86
Masami Hiramatsu [Thu, 25 Feb 2010 13:34:46 +0000 (08:34 -0500)]
kprobes/x86: Support kprobes jump optimization on x86

Introduce x86 arch-specific optimization code, which supports
both of x86-32 and x86-64.

This code also supports safety checking, which decodes whole of
a function in which probe is inserted, and checks following
conditions before optimization:
 - The optimized instructions which will be replaced by a jump instruction
   don't straddle the function boundary.
 - There is no indirect jump instruction, because it will jumps into
   the address range which is replaced by jump operand.
 - There is no jump/loop instruction which jumps into the address range
   which is replaced by jump operand.
 - Don't optimize kprobes if it is in functions into which fixup code will
   jumps.

This uses text_poke_multibyte() which doesn't support modifying
code on NMI/MCE handler. However, since kprobes itself doesn't
support NMI/MCE code probing, it's not a problem.

Changes in v9:
 - Use *_text_reserved() for checking the probe can be optimized.
 - Verify jump address range is in 2G range when preparing slot.
 - Backup original code when switching optimized buffer, instead of
   preparing buffer, because there can be int3 of other probes in
   preparing phase.
 - Check kprobe is disabled in arch_check_optimized_kprobe().
 - Strictly check indirect jump opcodes (ff /4, ff /5).

Changes in v6:
 - Split stop_machine-based jump patching code.
 - Update comments and coding style.

Changes in v5:
 - Introduce stop_machine-based jump replacing.

x86: Add text_poke_smp for SMP cross modifying code

Add generic text_poke_smp for SMP which uses stop_machine()
to synchronize modifying code.
This stop_machine() method is officially described at "7.1.3
Handling Self- and Cross-Modifying Code" on the intel's
software developer's manual 3A.

Since stop_machine() can't protect code against NMI/MCE, this
function can not modify those handlers. And also, this function
is basically for modifying multibyte-single-instruction. For
modifying multibyte-multi-instructions, we need another special
trap & detour code.

This code originaly comes from immediate values with

14 years agoperf top: Fix annotate for userspace
Kirill Smelkov [Sun, 7 Feb 2010 13:46:15 +0000 (11:46 -0200)]
perf top: Fix annotate for userspace

First, for programs and prelinked libraries, annotate code was
fooled by objdump output IPs (src->eip in the code) being
wrongly converted to absolute IPs. In such case there were no
conversion needed, but in

   src->eip = strtoull(src->line, NULL, 16);
   src->eip = map->unmap_ip(map, src->eip); // = eip + map->start - map->pgoff

we were reading absolute address from objdump (e.g. 8048604) and
then almost doubling it, because eip & map->start are
approximately close for small programs.

Needless to say, that later, in record_precise_ip() there was no
matching with real runtime IPs.

And second, like with `perf annotate` the problem with
non-prelinked *.so was that we were doing rip -> objdump address
conversion wrong.

Also, because unlike `perf annotate`, `perf top` code does
annotation based on absolute IPs for performance reasons(*), new
helper for mapping objdump addresse to IP is introduced.

(*) we get samples info in absolute IPs, and since we do lots of
    hit-testing on absolute IPs at runtime in record_precise_ip(), it's
    better to convert objdump addresses to IPs once and do no conversion
    at runtime.

I also had to fix how objdump output is parsed (with hardcoded
8/16 characters format, which was inappropriate for ET_DYN dsos
with small addresses like '4ac')

Also note, that not all objdump output lines has associtated
IPs, e.g. look at source lines here:

    000004ac <my_strlen>:
    extern "C"
    int my_strlen(const char *s)
     4ac:   55                      push   %ebp
     4ad:   89 e5                   mov    %esp,%ebp
     4af:   83 ec 10                sub    $0x10,%esp
    {
        int len = 0;
     4b2:   c7 45 fc 00 00 00 00    movl   $0x0,-0x4(%ebp)
     4b9:   eb 08                   jmp    4c3 <my_strlen+0x17>

        while (*s) {
            ++len;
     4bb:   83 45 fc 01             addl   $0x1,-0x4(%ebp)
            ++s;
     4bf:   83 45 08 01             addl   $0x1,0x8(%ebp)

So we mark them with eip=0, and ignore such lines in annotate
lookup code.

perf top: Teach it to autolocate vmlinux

not the case if we'll do sym_filter_entry setup in
symbol_filter().

So move this step right after event__process_sample() where we
know the whole dso__load_kernel_sym() pass is done.

By the way, though conceptually similar `perf top` still can't

Kirill Smelkov [Wed, 3 Feb 2010 18:52:07 +0000 (16:52 -0200)]
perf annotate: Fix it for non-prelinked *.so

The problem was we were incorrectly calculating objdump
addresses for sym->start and sym->end, look:

For simple ET_DYN type DSO (*.so) with one function, objdump -dS
output is something like this:

    000004ac <my_strlen>:
    int my_strlen(const char *s)
     4ac:   55                      push   %ebp
     4ad:   89 e5                   mov    %esp,%ebp
     4af:   83 ec 10                sub    $0x10,%esp
    {

i.e. we have relative-to-dso-mapping IPs (=RIP) there.

For ET_EXEC type and probably for prelinked libs as well (sorry
can't test - I don't use prelink) objdump outputs absolute IPs,
e.g.

    08048604 <zz_strlen>:
    extern "C"
    int zz_strlen(const char *s)
     8048604:       55                      push   %ebp
     8048605:       89 e5                   mov    %esp,%ebp
     8048607:       83 ec 10                sub    $0x10,%esp
    {

So, if sym->start is always relative to dso mapping(*), we'll
have to unmap it for ET_EXEC like cases, and leave as is for
ET_DYN cases.

(*) and it is - we've explicitely made it relative. Look for
    adjust_symbols handling in dso__load_sym()

Previously we were always unmapping sym->start and for ET_DYN
dsos resulting addresses were wrong, and so objdump output was
empty.

The end result was that perf annotate output for symbols from
non-prelinked *.so had always 0.00% percents only, which is
wrong.

To fix it, let's introduce a helper for converting rip to
objdump address, and also let's document what map_ip() and
unmap_ip() do -- I had to study sources for several hours to
understand it.

perf_events, x86: Improve x86 event scheduling

This patch improves event scheduling by maximizing the use of PMU
registers regardless of the order in which events are created in a group.

The algorithm takes into account the list of counter constraints for each
event. It assigns events to counters from the most constrained, i.e.,
works on only one counter, to the least constrained, i.e., works on any
counter.

Intel Fixed counter events and the BTS special event are also handled via
this algorithm which is designed to be fairly generic.

The patch also updates the validation of an event to use the scheduling
algorithm. This will cause early failure in perf_event_open().

The 2nd version of this patch follows the model used by PPC, by running
the scheduling algorithm and the actual assignment separately. Actual
assignment takes place in hw_perf_enable() whereas scheduling is
implemented in hw_perf_group_sched_in() and x86_pmu_enable().

perf: Fix inconsistency between IP and callchain sampling

When running perf across all cpus with backtracing (-a -g), sometimes we
get samples without associated backtraces:

    23.44%         init  [kernel]                     [k] restore
    11.46%         init                       eeba0c  [k] 0x00000000eeba0c

                       |
                       |--11.11%-- 0xfffa941bbbc

It turns out the backtrace code has a check for the idle task and the IP
sampling does not. This creates problems when profiling an interrupt
heavy workload (in my case 10Gbit ethernet) since we get no backtraces
for interrupts received while idle (ie most of the workload).

Right now x86 and sh check that current is not NULL, which should never
happen so remove that too.

Idle task's exclusion must be performed from the core code, on top
of perf_event_attr:exclude_idle.
