Remove bias offset to find probe point by address.
Without this patch, probe points on kernel and executables are shown
correctly, but do not work with libraries:
# ./perf probe -l
probe:do_fork (on do_fork@kernel/fork.c)
probe_libc:malloc (on malloc in /usr/lib64/libc-2.17.so)
probe_perf:strlist__new (on strlist__new@util/strlist.c in /home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux-3/tools/perf/perf)
Removing bias allows it to show it as real place:
# ./perf probe -l
probe:do_fork (on do_fork@kernel/fork.c)
probe_libc:malloc (on __libc_malloc@malloc/malloc.c in /usr/lib64/libc-2.17.so)
probe_perf:strlist__new (on strlist__new@util/strlist.c in /home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux-3/tools/perf/perf)

Warn if given uprobe event accesses memory on older kernel.
Until 3.14, uprobe event only supports accessing registers so this warns
to upgrade kernel if uprobe-event returns -EINVAL and an argument of the
event accesses memory ($stack, @+offset, and +|-offs() symtax).
With this patch (on 3.10.0-123.13.2.el7.x86_64);
-----
# ./perf probe -x ./perf warn_uprobe_event_compat stack=-0\(%sp\)
Added new event:
Failed to write event: Invalid argument
Please upgrade your kernel to at least 3.14 to have access to feature -0(%sp)
Error: Failed to add events.

Certain feature tests fail with link errors:
triton:~/tip/tools/perf/config/feature-checks> make test-libbabeltrace.bin
gcc -MD -o test-libbabeltrace.bin test-libbabeltrace.c # -lbabeltrace provided by
/tmp/cc6dRSqd.o: In function `main':
test-libbabeltrace.c:(.text+0xf): undefined reference to `bt_ctf_stream_class_get_packet_context_type'
although they should already fail with a build error due to lack of a
proper prototype for the function. Due to this I first tried to find
which library was missing - while it was the whole feature that was
missing from the .h file already.
To solve this, propagate -Wall -Werror to all testcases and remove them
from testcase Makefile rules that used them explicitly.
A missing feature now outputs:
triton:~/tip/tools/perf/config/feature-checks> make test-libbabeltrace.bin
gcc -MD -Wall -Werror -o test-libbabeltrace.bin test-libbabeltrace.c # -lbabeltrace provided by
test-libbabeltrace.c: In function ‘main’:
test-libbabeltrace.c:6:2: error: implicit declaration of function ‘bt_ctf_stream_class_get_packet_context_type’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]

Change the Python detection message from:
config/Makefile:566: No python-config tool was found
config/Makefile:566: Python support will not be built
config/Makefile:565: No 'python-config' tool was found: disables Python support - please install python-devel/python-dev
It's now a standard one-line message with a package install suggestion,
and it also uses the standard language used by other feature detection
messages.

This message:
Makefile:153: The path 'python-config' is not executable.
Appears on every perf build that does not have a sufficient python
environment installed. It's really just an internal detail of python
configuration pass and users should not see it - and it's pretty
meaningless to them in any case because the message is not very helpful.
(So it's not executable. Why does that matter? What can the user do
about it?)
Remove the warning, the missing python feature warning is sufficient:
config/Makefile:566: No python-config tool was found
config/Makefile:566: Python support will not be built
although even that one isn't very helpful to users: so no Python support
will be built, what can the user do to fix that? Most other such
warnings give package install suggestions.

perf tools: Speed up thread map generation
We ended up emitting PERF_RECORD_FORK events after their corresponding
PERF_RECORD_COMM, so the code below will remove the "existing thread"
and then recreates it, unnecessarily:
[root@ssdandy ~]# perf probe -x ~/bin/perf -L machine__process_fork_event
<machine__process_fork_event@/home/acme/git/linux/tools/perf/util/machine.c:0>
0 int machine__process_fork_event(struct machine *machine, union perf_event *event,
struct perf_sample *sample)
2 {
3 struct thread *thread = machine__find_thread(machine,
event->fork.pid,
event->fork.tid);
6 struct thread *parent = machine__findnew_thread(machine,
event->fork.ppid,
event->fork.ptid);
/* if a thread currently exists for the thread id remove it */
if (thread != NULL)
12 machine__remove_thread(machine, thread);
14 thread = machine__findnew_thread(machine, event->fork.pid,
event->fork.tid);
16 if (dump_trace)
17 perf_event__fprintf_task(event, stdout);
19 if (thread == NULL || parent == NULL ||
20 thread__fork(thread, parent, sample->time) < 0) {
21 dump_printf("problem processing PERF_RECORD_FORK, skipping event.\n");
22 return -1;
}
25 return 0;
26 }
[root@ssdandy ~]# perf probe -x ~/bin/perf fork_after_comm=machine__process_fork_event:12
Added new event:
probe_perf:fork_after_comm (on machine__process_fork_event:12 in /home/acme/bin/perf)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe_perf:fork_after_comm -aR sleep 1
[root@ssdandy ~]#
[root@ssdandy ~]# perf record -g -e probe_perf:* trace -o /tmp/bla
^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.021 MB perf.data (30 samples) ]
Terminated
[root@ssdandy ~]#
[root@ssdandy ~]# perf report --no-children --show-total-period --stdio
# To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options.
#
# Samples: 30 of event 'probe_perf:fork_after_comm'
# Event count (approx.): 30
#
# Overhead Period Command Shared Object Symbol
# ........ ............ ....... ............. ...............................

|
---machine__process_fork_event
__event__synthesize_thread.part.2
perf_event__synthesize_threads
cmd_trace
main
__libc_start_main
[root@ssdandy ~]#
And Looking at 'perf report -D' output we see it:
0 0 0x8698 [0x30]: PERF_RECORD_COMM: auditd:703/707
0 0 0x86c8 [0x38]: PERF_RECORD_FORK(703:707):(703:703)
Fix it by more closely mimicking how the kernel generates those records
when a new fork happens, i.e. first a PERF_RECORD_FORK, then a
PERF_RECORD_COMM.

Commit 1971f59 (perf stat: Use read_counter in read_counter_aggr )
broke the perf stat output for unsupported counters.
$ perf stat -v -a -C 0 -e CCI_400/config=24/ sleep 1
Warning:
CCI_400/config=24/ event is not supported by the kernel.
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
0 CCI_400/config=24/
1.080265400 seconds time elapsed
Where it used to be :
$ perf stat -v -a -C 0 -e CCI_400/config=24/ sleep 1
Warning:
CCI_400/config=24/ event is not supported by the kernel.
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
<not supported> CCI_400/config=24/
1.083840675 seconds time elapsed
This patch fixes the issues by checking if the counter is supported,
before reading and logging the counter value.
