2011-06-03perf evlist: Don't die if sample_{id_all|type} is invalidArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Fixes two more cases where the python binding would not load: . Not finding die(), which it shouldn't anyway, not good to just stop the world because some particular perf.data file is invalid, just propagate the error to the caller. . Not finding perf_sample_size: fix it by moving it from event.c to evsel, where it belongs, as most cases are moving to operate on an evsel object.o One of the fixed problems: [root@emilia ~]# python >>> import perf Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ImportError: /home/acme/git/build/perf/python/perf.so: undefined symbol: perf_sample_size >>> [root@emilia ~]# Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-1hkj7b2cvgbfnoizsekjb6c9@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

2011-06-02ktest: Fix result of rebooting the kernelSteven Rostedt
The command that is called that reboots the kernel may fail but the return code is not passed back to the ktest.pl script. This is because a ';' is used between the two commands and if the second command fails, only the first command's return code is returned. Using a '&&' between the two commands fixes this.

2011-06-02ktest: Fix off-by-one in config bisect resultSteven Rostedt

2011-05-27perf events: initialize fd array to -1 instead of 0David Ahern
perf_evsel__alloc_fd allocates an array of file descriptors with the memory initialized to 0. The array has dimensions for cpus and threads. Later, __perf_evsel__open calls sys_perf_event_open for each cpu and thread dimensions. If the open fails for any of the cpus or threads then the fd's for this event are closed and the fd entry in the array is set to -1. Now, if the first attempt fails for the event (e.g., the event is not supported) the remaining dimensions (cpu > 0 and thread > 0) are not touched and left at the initialized value of 0. builtin-stat catches ENOENT and ENOSYS failures and allows the command to continue. The end result is that stat attempts to read from an fd of 0 which of course is stdin and so the command hangs until you type ctrl-D. Resolve by initializing the array to -1 since an fd < 0 is already handled.

2011-05-26perf symbols: Handle /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrictArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Perf uses /proc/modules to figure out where kernel modules are loaded. With the advent of kptr_restrict, non root users get zeroes for all module start addresses. So check if kptr_restrict is non zero and don't generate the syntethic PERF_RECORD_MMAP events for them. Warn the user about it in perf record and in perf report. In perf report the reference relocation symbol being zero means that kptr_restrict was set, thus /proc/kallsyms has only zeroed addresses, so don't use it to fixup symbol addresses when using a valid kallsyms (in the buildid cache) or vmlinux (in the vmlinux path) build-id located automatically or specified by the user. Provide an explanation about it in 'perf report' if kernel samples were taken, checking if a suitable vmlinux or kallsyms was found/specified. Restricted /proc/kallsyms don't go to the buildid cache anymore. Example: [acme@emilia ~]$ perf record -F 100000 sleep 1 WARNING: Kernel address maps (/proc/{kallsyms,modules}) are restricted, check /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict. Samples in kernel functions may not be resolved if a suitable vmlinux file is not found in the buildid cache or in the vmlinux path. Samples in kernel modules won't be resolved at all. If some relocation was applied (e.g. kexec) symbols may be misresolved even with a suitable vmlinux or kallsyms file.

2011-05-23perf tools: Fix ommitted mmap data update on remapFrederic Weisbecker
Commit eac9eacee16 "perf tools: Check we are able to read the event size on mmap" brought a check to ensure we can read the size of the event before dereferencing it, and do a remap otherwise to move the buffer forward. However that remap was ommitting all the necessary work to update the new page offset, head, and to unmap previous pages, etc... To fix this, gather all the code that fetches the event in a seperate helper which does all the necessary checks about the header/event size and tells us anytime a remap is needed.

2011-05-20sanitize <linux/prefetch.h> usageLinus Torvalds
Commit e66eed651fd1 ("list: remove prefetching from regular list iterators") removed the include of prefetch.h from list.h, which uncovered several cases that had apparently relied on that rather obscure header file dependency. So this fixes things up a bit, using grep -L linux/prefetch.h $(git grep -l '[^a-z_]prefetchw*(' -- '*.[ch]') grep -L 'prefetchw*(' $(git grep -l 'linux/prefetch.h' -- '*.[ch]') to guide us in finding files that either need <linux/prefetch.h> inclusion, or have it despite not needing it. There are more of them around (mostly network drivers), but this gets many core ones.

2011-05-20ktest: Allow options to be used by other optionsSteven Rostedt
There are cases where one ktest option may be used within another ktest option. Allow them to be reused just like config variables but there are evaluated at time of test not config processing time. Thus having something like: MAKE_CMD = make ARCH=${ARCH} TEST_START ARCH = powerpc TEST_START ARCH = arm Will have the arch defined for each test iteration.

2011-05-20ktest: Create variables for the ktest config filesSteven Rostedt
I found that I constantly reuse information for each test case. It would be nice to just define a variable to reuse. For example I may have: TEST_START [...] TEST = ssh root@mybox /path/to/my/script TEST_START [...] TEST = ssh root@mybox /path/to/my/script [etc] The issue is, I may wont to change that script or one of the other fields. Then I need to update each line individually. With the addition of config variables (variables only used during parsing the config) we can simplify the config files. These variables can also be defined multiple times and each time the new value will overwrite the old value. The convention to use a config variable over a ktest option is to use := instead of =. Now we could do: USER := root TARGET := mybox TEST_SCRIPT := /path/to/my/script TEST_CASE := ${USER}@${TARGET} ${TEST_SCRIPT} TEST_START [...] TEST = ${TEST_CASE} TEST_START [...] TEST = ${TEST_CASE} [etc] Now we just need to update the variables at the top.

2011-05-20ktest: Reboot after each patchcheck runSteven Rostedt
The patches being checked may not leave the kernel in a state that the next run will allow the new kernel to be copied to the machine. Reboot to a known good kernel before continuing to the next kernel to test. Added option PATCHCHECK_SLEEP_TIME for the max time to sleep between patchcheck reboots.

2011-05-20ktest: Reboot to good kernel after every bisect runSteven Rostedt
Reboot after each bisect run regardless if the bisect passed or failed. The test may just be to boot the kernel and that kernel may not have a way to copy the next kerne to it. Reboot to a known good kernel after each bisect run. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2011-05-20ktest: If test failed due to timeout, print thatSteven Rostedt
If the test failed due to timeout for boot, print a message saying so. Otherwise the user will be confused to why their test just failed. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2011-05-20ktest: Fix post install commandSteven Rostedt
The command to run post install (for those that want initrds) was broken. Instead of doing a substitution for the $KERNEL_VERSION variable. It was replacing the entire command with nothing. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
