perf tools: Add arm64 version of get_cpuid()

2020-02-12T13:36:51+00:00

Add an arm64 version of get_cpuid(), which is used for various annotation and headers - for example, I now get the CPUID in "perf report --header", as shown in this snippet: # hostname : ubuntu # os release : 5.5.0-rc1-dirty # perf version : 5.5.rc1.gbf8a13dc9851 # arch : aarch64 # nrcpus online : 96 # nrcpus avail : 96 # cpuid : 0x00000000480fd010 Since much of the code to read the MIDR is already in get_cpuid_str(), factor out this code. Tester notes: I tested this patch on my new ARM64 Kunpeng 920 server. [root@node1 zsk]# ./perf --version perf version 5.6.rc1.g2cdb955b7252 Both perf list and perf stat can work.

perf bench: Update the copies of x86's mem{cpy,set}_64.S

2019-12-02T14:40:57+00:00

And update linux/linkage.h, which requires in turn that we make these files switch from ENTRY()/ENDPROC() to SYM_FUNC_START()/SYM_FUNC_END(): tools/perf/arch/arm64/tests/regs_load.S tools/perf/arch/arm/tests/regs_load.S tools/perf/arch/powerpc/tests/regs_load.S tools/perf/arch/x86/tests/regs_load.S We also need to switch SYM_FUNC_START_LOCAL() to SYM_FUNC_START() for the functions used directly by 'perf bench', and update tools/perf/check_headers.sh to ignore those changes when checking if the kernel original files drifted from the copies we carry. This is to get the changes from: 6dcc5627f6ae ("x86/asm: Change all ENTRY+ENDPROC to SYM_FUNC_*") ef1e03152cb0 ("x86/asm: Make some functions local") e9b9d020c487 ("x86/asm: Annotate aliases") And address these tools/perf build warnings: Warning: Kernel ABI header at 'tools/arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S' differs from latest version at 'arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S' diff -u tools/arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S Warning: Kernel ABI header at 'tools/arch/x86/lib/memset_64.S' differs from latest version at 'arch/x86/lib/memset_64.S' diff -u tools/arch/x86/lib/memset_64.S arch/x86/lib/memset_64.S Cc: Adrian Hunter Cc: Borislav Petkov Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Jiri Slaby Cc: Namhyung Kim Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-tay3l8x8k11p7y3qcpqh9qh5@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf maps: Merge 'struct maps' with 'struct map_groups'

2019-11-26T14:07:46+00:00

And pick the shortest name: 'struct maps'. The split existed because we used to have two groups of maps, one for functions and one for variables, but that only complicated things, sometimes we needed to figure out what was at some address and then had to first try it on the functions group and if that failed, fall back to the variables one. That split is long gone, so for quite a while we had only one struct maps per struct map_groups, simplify things by combining those structs. First patch is the minimum needed to merge both, follow up patches will rename 'thread->mg' to 'thread->maps', etc. Cc: Adrian Hunter Cc: Andi Kleen Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Namhyung Kim Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-hom6639ro7020o708trhxh59@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf tools: Fix cross compile for ARM64

2019-11-06T18:49:39+00:00

Currently when cross compiling perf tool for ARM64 on my x86 machine I get this error: arch/arm64/util/sym-handling.c:9:10: fatal error: gelf.h: No such file or directory #include For the build, libelf is reported off: Auto-detecting system features: ... ... libelf: [ OFF ] Indeed, test-libelf is not built successfully: more ./build/feature/test-libelf.make.output test-libelf.c:2:10: fatal error: libelf.h: No such file or directory #include ^~~~~~~~~~ compilation terminated. I have no such problems natively compiling on ARM64, and I did not previously have this issue for cross compiling. Fix by relocating the gelf.h include.

perf tools: Avoid 'sample_reg_masks' being const + weak

2019-10-10T12:29:33+00:00

Being const + weak breaks with some compilers that constant-propagate from the weak symbol. This behavior is outside of the specification, but in LLVM is chosen to match GCC's behavior. LLVM's implementation was set in this patch: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/f49573d1eedcf1e44893d5a062ac1b72c8419646 A const + weak symbol is set to be weak_odr: https://llvm.org/docs/LangRef.html ODR is one definition rule, and given there is one constant definition constant-propagation is possible. It is possible to get this code to miscompile with LLVM when applying link time optimization. As compilers become more aggressive, this is likely to break in more instances. Move the definition of sample_reg_masks to the conditional part of perf_regs.h and guard usage with HAVE_PERF_REGS_SUPPORT. This avoids the weak symbol. Fix an issue when HAVE_PERF_REGS_SUPPORT isn't defined from patch v1. In v3, add perf_regs.c for architectures that HAVE_PERF_REGS_SUPPORT but don't declare sample_regs_masks. Further notes: Jiri asked: "Is this just a precaution or you actualy saw some breakage?" Ian answered: "We saw a breakage with clang with thinlto enabled for linking. Our compiler team had recently seen, and were surprised by, a similar issue and were able to dig out the weak ODR issue."

perf annotate: Fix arch specific ->init() failure errors

2019-09-30T20:30:03+00:00

They are called from symbol__annotate() and to propagate errors that can help understand the problem make them return what symbol__strerror_disassemble() known, i.e. errno codes and other annotation specific errors in a special, out of errnos, range.

libperf: Move 'page_size' global variable to libperf

2019-09-25T12:51:48+00:00

We need the 'page_size' variable in libperf, so move it there. Add a libperf_init() as a global libperf init function to obtain this value via sysconf() at tool start. Committer notes: Add internal/lib.h to tools/perf/ files using 'page_size', sometimes replacing util.h with it if that was the only reason for having util.h included.
