2015-06-22perf tests: Add test for make install with prefixJiri Olsa
Lukas Wunner reported issue (and fix[1]) with 'make install prefix=...'. Adding automated test for this, so it wouldn't happen again.

2015-06-22perf tests: Add testing for Makefile.perfJiri Olsa
Currently we test only builds through top level Makefile, but seems like there's a bunch of users using Makefile.perf directly. Changing the make suite to be run for Makefile.perf as well. It takes now considerable amount of time, but hopefully we catch more issues. Also fixing the output indentation for make_kernelsrc and make_kernelsrc_tools tests.

2015-06-22perf top: Move toggling event logic into hists browserNamhyung Kim
Current 'f' key action to enable/disable events won't work if there're more than one event since perf_evsel_menu__run() doesn't return the key. So move it to the hists browser loop so that it can be processed as like other key action, and it's more natural to handle it there IMHO.

2015-06-19perf tools: Add time out to force stop proc map processingKan Liang
System wide sampling like 'perf top' or 'perf record -a' read all threads /proc/xxx/maps before sampling. If there are any threads which generating a keeping growing huge maps, perf will do infinite loop during synthesizing. Nothing will be sampled. This patch fixes this issue by adding per-thread timeout to force stop this kind of endless proc map processing. PERF_RECORD_MISC_PROC_MAP_PARSE_TIME_OUT is introduced to indicate that the mmap record are truncated by time out. User will get warning notification when truncated mmap records are detected.

When using a map file from a JIT, due to memory reuse, we can obtain multiple symbols with the same start address but a different length. The symbols__find does check for the end so not doing it in sort__sym_cmp was causing the hist_entry in the annotate part of a report to match to the wrong entry, causing a fatal error.

2015-06-19perf tools: Ensure thread-stack is flushedAdrian Hunter
The thread-stack represents a thread's current stack. When a thread exits there can still be many functions on the stack e.g. exit() can be called many levels deep, so all the callers will never return. To get that information output, the thread-stack must be flushed. Previously it was assumed the thread-stack would be flushed when the struct thread was deleted. With thread ref-counting it is no longer clear when that will be, if ever. So instead explicitly flush all the thread-stacks at the end of a session.

2015-06-19powerpc/tm: Abort syscalls in active transactionsSam bobroff
This patch changes the syscall handler to doom (tabort) active transactions when a syscall is made and return very early without performing the syscall and keeping side effects to a minimum (no CPU accounting or system call tracing is performed). Also included is a new HWCAP2 bit, PPC_FEATURE2_HTM_NOSC, to indicate this behaviour to userspace. Currently, the system call instruction automatically suspends an active transaction which causes side effects to persist when an active transaction fails. This does change the kernel's behaviour, but in a way that was documented as unsupported. It doesn't reduce functionality as syscalls will still be performed after tsuspend; it just requires that the transaction be explicitly suspended. It also provides a consistent interface and makes the behaviour of user code substantially the same across powerpc and platforms that do not support suspended transactions (e.g. x86 and s390). Performance measurements using http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/null_syscall.c indicate the cost of a normal (non-aborted) system call increases by about 0.25%.

2015-06-18selftest: Timers: Avoid signal deadlock in leap-a-dayJohn Stultz
In 0c4a5fc95b1df (Add leap-second timer edge testing to leap-a-day.c), we added a timer to the test which checks to make sure timers near the leapsecond edge behave correctly. However, the output generated from the timer uses ctime_r, which isn't async-signal safe, and should that signal land while the main test is using ctime_r to print its output, its possible for the test to deadlock on glibc internal locks. Thus this patch reworks the output to avoid using ctime_r in the signal handler.

Some/all fds associated with the perf-events (tracepoints) go into a POLLHUP/ POLLERR state and the mmap region associated with those events are unmapped (in perf_evlist__filter_pollfd()). But we go back and do a perf_evlist__mmap_read() which assumes that the mmaps are still valid and we hit the crash. If the mapping for an event is released, its refcnt is 0 (and ->base is NULL), so ensure we have non-zero refcount before accessing the map. Note that perf-record has a similar logic but unlike perf-trace, the record__mmap_read_all() checks the evlist->mmap[i].base before accessing the map.

When the last part of converted events are blacklisted or out-of-text, those are skipped and perf probe doesn't show usage examples.

E.g. without this patch, events are added, but suddenly end: # perf probe vfs_* vfs_caches_init_early is out of .text, skip it. vfs_caches_init is out of .text, skip it. Added new events: probe:vfs_fallocate (on vfs_*) probe:vfs_open (on vfs_*) ... probe:vfs_dentry_acceptable (on vfs_*) probe:vfs_load_quota_inode (on vfs_*) # With this fix: # perf probe vfs_* vfs_caches_init_early is out of .text, skip it. vfs_caches_init is out of .text, skip it. Added new events: probe:vfs_fallocate (on vfs_*) ... probe:vfs_load_quota_inode (on vfs_*) You can now use it in all perf tools, such as: perf record -e probe:vfs_load_quota_inode -aR sleep 1 Note that this can be reproduced ONLY IF the vfs_caches_init* is the last part of matched symbol list.

Commit e3d09ec8126fe2c9a3ade661e2126e215ca27a80 ("tools lib traceevent: Export dynamic symbols used by traceevent plugins") adds libtraceevent dynamic list directly into LDFLAGS, which makes all targets depend on that list through LDFLAGS. This is not good since some of targets like libgtk.so doesn't use plugin at all, but require the existance of that list because of linker options. This patch isolates the -Xlink option into LIBTRACEEVENT_DYNAMIC_LIST_LDFLAGS, makes only perf and perf.so use it.

2015-06-16perf probe: Fix to return error if no probe is addedMasami Hiramatsu
Fix perf probe to return an error if no probe is added due to the given probe point being on the blacklist. To fix this problem, this moves the blacklist checking to right after finding symbols/probe-points and marks them as skipped. If all the symbols are skipped, "perf probe" returns an error as it fails to find the corresponding probe address. E.g. currently if a blacklisted probe is given: # perf probe do_trap && echo 'succeed' Added new event: Warning: Skipped probing on blacklisted function: sync_regs succeed No! It must fail! With this patch, it correctly fails: # perf probe do_trap && echo 'succeed' do_trap is blacklisted function, skip it. Probe point 'do_trap' not found. Error: Failed to add events.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jic23/iio into staging-next Jonathan writes: Third round of new IIO drivers, cleanups and functionality for the 4.2 cycle. Given Linus announced a 4.8rc coming up, hopefully time for one more lot of IIO patches this cycle. Some of these are actually improvements / fixes for patches earlier in the cycle. New device support * st_accel driver - support devices with 8 bit channels. Cleanup * A general cleanup of the iio tools under /tools/ from Hartmut. I'm more than a little embarassed by how bad some of these were! Are well, much more refined and less bug prone now. These cover lots of stuff like unhandled error returns, memory leaks as well as general refactoring to tidy the code up. * iio_simple_dummy - fix memory leaks in the init functions, drop some pointless error returns from functions that never generate errors and make the module parameter explicitly unsigned. * More buffer handling reworks from Lars-Peter, this time targetting hardware buffers (a little used corner that looks likely to get more use in the near future). Specifically: - Always compute the masklength as inkernel buffer users may need it. - Add a means of labeling which buffer modes a given buffer implementation supports. - In the case of hardware buffers, require strict scan matching rather than matching to a superset. Currently the demux is bypassed by these drivers (this may well not change for efficiency reasons) so allowing a superset of channels to be selected would otherwise lead to more data than requested confusing userspace. Driver funcationality improvments * mmc35240 - adds a compensation to the raw values as borrowed form Memsic's own input driver. * mma8452 - event support - event debouncing - high pass filter configuration - triggers * vf610 - allow conversion mode to be adjusted Fixlets * mmc35240 - Off by one error that by coincidence had no real effect. - i2c_device_name should be lowercase. - Lack of null terminator at end of attributes array. - Avoid computing the fractional part of the magnetic field by moving the scaling into userspace where floating point is available to simplify the maths. - Use a smaller sleep before assuming the measurement is done. This is safe and improves the possible polling rate. - Fix sensitivity on z-axis - datasheet disagrees with Memsic's releasedd code and the value used in the code seems to be correct. * stk3310 - make a local variable signed to ensure error handling works. * twl4030 - fix calculation of the temperature sense current - bug unlikely to have ever been noticed as the difference is small. - Fix errors in descriptions.

2015-06-10perf tools: Avoid possible race condition in copyfile()Milos Vyletel
Use unique temporary files when copying to buildid dir to prevent races in case multiple instances are trying to copy same file. This is done by - creating template in form <path>/.<filename>.XXXXXX where the suffix is used by mkstemp() to create unique file - change file mode - copy content - if successful link temp file to target file - unlink temp file At this point the only file left at target path should be the desired one either created by us or other instance if we raced. This should also prevent not yet fully copied files to be visible to to other perf instances that could try to parse them. On top of that slow_copyfile no longer needs to deal with file mode when creating file since temporary file is already created and mode is set. Succesfully tested by myself by running perf record, archive and reading the data on other system and by running perf buildid-cache on perf binary itself. I also did revert fix from 0635b0f that to exposes previously fixed race with EEXIST and recreator test passed sucessfully.
