This patch fixes a buffer overrun bug in
tracepoint_id_to_path(). The bug manisfested itself as a memory
error reported by perf record. I ran into it with perf sched:
$ perf sched rec noploop 2 noploop for 2 seconds
[ perf record: Woken up 14 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 42.701 MB perf.data (~1865622 samples) ]
Fatal: No memory to alloc tracepoints list
It turned out that tracepoint_id_to_path() was reading the
tracepoint id using read() but the buffer was not large enough
to include the \n terminator for id with 4 digits or more.
The patch fixes the problem by extending the buffer to a more
reasonable size covering all possible id length include \n
terminator. Note that atoll() stops at the first non digit
character, thus it is not necessary to clear the buffer between
each read.

Just fall back to resetting those fields, if set, warning the user that
that feature is not available.
If guest samples appear they will just be discarded because no struct
machine will be found and thus the event will be accounted as not
handled and dropped, see 0c09571.

Setting perf_guest to true by default makes no sense because the perf
subcommands can not setup guest symbol information and thus not process
and guest samples. The only exception is perf-kvm which changes the
perf_guest value on its own. So change the default for perf_guest back
to false.

A recent refactoring of perf-record introduced the following:
perf record -a -B
Couldn't generating buildids. Use --no-buildid to profile anyway.
sleep: Terminated
I believe the triple negative was meant to be only a double negative.
:-) While I'm there, fixed the grammar on the error message.

without DWARF info too
The 'perf probe' command allows kprobe to be inserted at any offset from
a function start, which results in adding kprobes to unintended
location. (example: perf probe do_fork+10000 is allowed even though
size of do_fork is ~904).
My previous patch https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/2/24/42 addressed the case
where DWARF info was available for the kernel. This patch fixes the
case where perf probe is used on a kernel without debuginfo available.

If threads in a multi-threaded process have names shorter than the main
thread the comm for the named threads is not properly terminated.
E.g., for the process 'namedthreads' where each thread is named noploop%d
where %d is the thread number:
Before:
perf script -f comm,tid,ip,sym,dso
noploop:4ads 21616 400a49 noploop (/tmp/namedthreads)
The 'ads' in the thread comm bleeds over from the process name.
After:
perf script -f comm,tid,ip,sym,dso
noploop:4 21616 400a49 noploop (/tmp/namedthreads)

On old kernels that don't support sample_id_all feature,
perf_evlist__id2evsel() returns NULL for non-sampling events.
This breaks perf top when multiple events are given on command line. Fix
it by using first evsel in the evlist. This will also prevent getting
the same (potential) problem in such new tool/ old kernel combo.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-ktest
While demoing ktest at ELC in 2012, it was embarrassing that the
make_min_config test failed to work because the snowball board I was
testing it against had a config that would not build. But the
make_min_config only tested the testing part and ignored build failures.
The end result was a config file that would not boot.
This time, for real.
* tag 'ktest-fix-make-min-failed-build-for-real' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-ktest:
ktest: Fix make_min_config test when build fails
|
|
The make_min_config does not take into account when the build fails,
resulting in a invalid MIN_CONFIG .config file. When the build fails,
it is ignored and the boot test is executed, using the previous built
kernel. The configs that should be tested are not tested and they may
be added or removed depending on the result of the last kernel that
succeeded to be built.
If the build fails, mark the current config as a failure and the
configs that were disabled may still be needed.

This patch fixes an issue where perf report shows nan% for certain
perf.data files. The below is from a report for a do_fork probe:
-nan% sshd [kernel.kallsyms] [k] do_fork
-nan% packagekitd [kernel.kallsyms] [k] do_fork
-nan% dbus-daemon [kernel.kallsyms] [k] do_fork
-nan% bash [kernel.kallsyms] [k] do_fork
A git bisect shows commit f3bda2c as the cause. However, looking back
through the git history, I saw commit 640c03c which seems to have
removed the required initialization for perf_sample->period. The problem
only started showing after commit f3bda2c. The below patch re-introduces
the initialization and it fixes the problem for me.
With the below patch, for the same perf.data:
73.08% bash [kernel.kallsyms] [k] do_fork
8.97% 11-dhclient [kernel.kallsyms] [k] do_fork
6.41% sshd [kernel.kallsyms] [k] do_fork
3.85% 20-chrony [kernel.kallsyms] [k] do_fork
2.56% sendmail [kernel.kallsyms] [k] do_fork
This patch applies over current linux-tip commit 9949284.

In some perf ancient versions we used '[kernel.kallsyms._text]' as the
name for the kernel map.
This got changed with commit:
perf: 'perf kvm' tool for monitoring guest performance from host
commit a1645ce12adb6c9cc9e19d7695466204e3f017fe
Author: Zhang, Yanmin <yanmin_zhang@linux.intel.com>
and we started to use following name '[kernel.kallsyms]_text'.
This name change is important for the report code dealing with ancient
perf data. When processing the kernel map event, we need to recognize
the old naming (dont match the last ']') and initialize the kernel map
correctly.
The subsequent call to maps__set_kallsyms_ref_reloc_sym deals with the
superfluous ']' to get correct symbol name.

By adding following objects:
bench/mem-memcpy-x86-64-asm.o
the x86_64 perf binary ended up with executable stack.
The reason was that above object are assembler sourced and is missing the
GNU-stack note section. In such case the linker assumes that the final binary
should not be restricted at all and mark the stack as RWX.
Adding section ".note.GNU-stack" definition to mentioned object, with all
flags disabled, thus omiting this object from linker stack flags decision.

In recent versions of perf top, pressing the 'e' key to change the
number of displayed samples had no effect.
The number of samples was still dictated by the size of the terminal
(stdio mode). That was quite annoying because typically only the first
dozen samples really matter.
This patch fixes this.

The event_type record has a max length for the event name.
It's called MAX_EVENT_NAME.
The name may be truncated to fit the max length. But the header.size still
reflects the original name length. If that length is > MAX_EVENT_NAME, then the
header.size field is bogus. Fix this by using the length of the name after the
potential truncation.

When building on my Debian/mips system, util/util.c fails to build
because commit 1aed2671738785e8f5aea663a6fda91aa7ef59b5 (perf kvm: Do
guest-only counting by default) indirectly includes stdio.h before the
feature selection in util.h is done. This prevents _GNU_SOURCE in
util.h from enabling the declaration of getline(), from now second
inclusion of stdio.h, and the build is broken.
There is another breakage in util/evsel.c caused by include ordering,
but I didn't fully track down the commit that caused it.
The root cause of all this is an inconsistent definition of _GNU_SOURCE,
so I move the definition into the Makefile so that it is passed to all
invocations of the compiler and used uniformly for all system header
files. All other #define and #undef of _GNU_SOURCE are removed as they
cause conflicts with the definition passed to the compiler.
All the features.h definitions (_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64
and _GNU_SOURCE) are needed by the python glue code too, so they are
moved to BASIC_CFLAGS, and the misleading comments about BASIC_CFLAGS
are removed.
This gives me a clean build on x86_64 (fc12) and mips (Debian).

Andrew explains:
- various misc stuff
- Most of the rest of MM: memcg, threaded hugepages, others.
- cpumask
- kexec
- kdump
- some direct-io performance tweaking
- radix-tree optimisations
- new selftests code
A note on this: often people will develop a new userspace-visible
feature and will develop userspace code to exercise/test that
feature. Then they merge the patch and the selftest code dies.
Sometimes we paste it into the changelog. Sometimes the code gets
thrown into Documentation/(!).
This saddens me. So this patch creates a bare-bones framework which
will henceforth allow me to ask people to include their test apps in
the kernel tree so we can keep them alive. Then when people enhance
or fix the feature, I can ask them to update the test app too.
The infrastruture is terribly trivial at present - let's see how it
evolves.
- checkpoint/restart feature work.
A note on this: this is a project by various mad Russians to perform
c/r mainly from userspace, with various oddball helper code added
into the kernel where the need is demonstrated.
So rather than some large central lump of code, what we have is
little bits and pieces popping up in various places which either
expose something new or which permit something which is normally
kernel-private to be modified.
The overall project is an ongoing thing. I've judged that the size
and scope of the thing means that we're more likely to be successful
with it if we integrate the support into mainline piecemeal rather
than allowing it all to develop out-of-tree.
However I'm less confident than the developers that it will all
eventually work! So what I'm asking them to do is to wrap each piece
of new code inside CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE. So if it all
eventually comes to tears and the project as a whole fails, it should
be a simple matter to go through and delete all trace of it.
This lot pretty much wraps up the -rc1 merge for me.

Bring a first selftest in the relevant directory. This tests several
combinations of breakpoints and watchpoints in x86, as well as icebp traps
and int3 traps. Given the amount of breakpoint regressions we raised
after we merged the generic breakpoint infrastructure, such selftest
became necessary and can still serve today as a basis for new patches that
touch the do_debug() path.

Bring a new kernel selftests directory in tools/testing/selftests. To
add a new selftest, create a subdirectory with the sources and a
makefile that creates a target named "run_test" then add the
subdirectory name to the TARGET var in tools/testing/selftests/Makefile
and tools/testing/selftests/run_tests script.
This can help centralizing and maintaining any useful selftest that
developers usually tend to let rust in peace on some random server.

We were cheating with our barriers; using the smp ones rather than the
real device ones. That was fine, until rpmsg came along, which is
used to talk to a real device (a non-SMP CPU).
Unfortunately, just putting back the real barriers (reverting
d57ed95d) causes a performance regression on virtio-pci. In
particular, Amos reports netbench's TCP_RR over virtio_net CPU
utilization increased up to 35% while throughput went down by up to
14%.
By comparison, this branch is in the noise.

The annotate command doesn't take non-option arguments.
In fact, it can take last argument as a symbol filter though, but that's

It will be recalculated at __hists__output_resort, to take into account
filters possibly applied by the TUI, etc.
Since we do the percent math only for those entries that will appear on
the TUI instead of for _all_ the entries at decay time, updating it for
each sample makes the entries seem to decay faster when using the
navigation keys (since the screen will be refreshed), as we're not
coalescing the entries that are being batched to be merged at next
resort/decay time, but considering their periods.
Bug introduced in 743eb86.

When testing a kernel that has warnings, ktest.pl will fail the test
when it sees the warning. If you need to test the the kernel and want
to ignore the errors that are produced, the option IGNORE_ERRORS has
been added. When IGNORE_ERRORS is set to something other than 0, it will
ignore call traces due to WARN_ON().

The REBOOT_TYPE may be either grub or script, if it is script
it is expected that a REBOOT_SCRIPT is defined.
With the SWITCH_TO_TEST which is the complement of SWITCH_TO_GOOD,
which does basically the same thing as REBOOT_SCRIPT and but for
both grub and script, the REBOOT_SCRIPT does not need to be mandatory
anymore.
Do not require the REBOOT_SCRIPT and always run the reboot code
for both grub and script.
