      perf probe: Add lazy line matching support · 2a9c8c36
      Masami Hiramatsu authored
      Add lazy line matching support for specifying new probes.
      This also changes the syntax of perf probe a bit. Now
      perf probe accepts one of below probe event definitions.
      
      1) Define event based on function name
       [EVENT=]FUNC[@SRC][:RLN|+OFF|%return|;PTN] [ARG ...]
      
      2) Define event based on source file with line number
       [EVENT=]SRC:ALN [ARG ...]
      
      3) Define event based on source file with lazy pattern
       [EVENT=]SRC;PTN [ARG ...]
      
      - New lazy matching pattern(PTN) follows ';' (semicolon). And it
        must be put the end of the definition.
      - So, @SRC is no longer the part which must be put at the end
        of the definition.
      
      Note that ';' (semicolon) can be interpreted as the end of
      a command by the shell. This means that you need to quote it.
      (anyway you will need to quote the lazy pattern itself too,
      because it may contains other sensitive characters, like
      '[',']' etc.).
      
      Lazy matching
      -------------
      The lazy line matching is similar to glob matching except
      ignoring spaces in both of pattern and target.
      
      e.g.
      'a=*' can matches 'a=b', 'a = b', 'a == b' and so on.
      
      This provides some sort of flexibility and robustness to
      probe point definitions against minor code changes.
      (for example, actual 10th line of schedule() can be changed
       easily by modifying schedule(), but the same line matching
       'rq=cpu_rq*' may still exist.)
      
      Changes in v3:
       - Cast Dwarf_Addr to uintmax_t for printf-formats.
      
      Changes in v2:
       - Cast Dwarf_Addr to unsigned long long for printf-formats.

      perf probe: Check function address range strictly in line finder · 161a26b0
      Masami Hiramatsu authored
      Check (inlined) function address range strictly for
      improving output of probe-able lines of inline functions.
      
      Without this change, perf probe --line <function> sometimes
      showed other inline function bodies too, because it didn't
      filter out inlined functions.

      kprobes/x86: Support kprobes jump optimization on x86 · c0f7ac3a
      Masami Hiramatsu authored
      Introduce x86 arch-specific optimization code, which supports
      both of x86-32 and x86-64.
      
      This code also supports safety checking, which decodes whole of
      a function in which probe is inserted, and checks following
      conditions before optimization:
       - The optimized instructions which will be replaced by a jump instruction
         don't straddle the function boundary.
       - There is no indirect jump instruction, because it will jumps into
         the address range which is replaced by jump operand.
       - There is no jump/loop instruction which jumps into the address range
         which is replaced by jump operand.
       - Don't optimize kprobes if it is in functions into which fixup code will
         jumps.
      
      This uses text_poke_multibyte() which doesn't support modifying
      code on NMI/MCE handler. However, since kprobes itself doesn't
      support NMI/MCE code probing, it's not a problem.
      
      Changes in v9:
       - Use *_text_reserved() for checking the probe can be optimized.
       - Verify jump address range is in 2G range when preparing slot.
       - Backup original code when switching optimized buffer, instead of
         preparing buffer, because there can be int3 of other probes in
         preparing phase.
       - Check kprobe is disabled in arch_check_optimized_kprobe().
       - Strictly check indirect jump opcodes (ff /4, ff /5).
      
      Changes in v6:
       - Split stop_machine-based jump patching code.
       - Update comments and coding style.
      
      Changes in v5:
       - Introduce stop_machine-based jump replacing.

      x86: Add text_poke_smp for SMP cross modifying code · 3d55cc8a
      Masami Hiramatsu authored
      Add generic text_poke_smp for SMP which uses stop_machine()
      to synchronize modifying code.
      This stop_machine() method is officially described at "7.1.3
      Handling Self- and Cross-Modifying Code" on the intel's
      software developer's manual 3A.
      
      Since stop_machine() can't protect code against NMI/MCE, this
      function can not modify those handlers. And also, this function
      is basically for modifying multibyte-single-instruction. For
      modifying multibyte-multi-instructions, we need another special
      trap & detour code.
      
      This code originaly comes from immediate values with
      stop_machine() version. Thanks Jason and Mathieu!

      kprobes: Introduce kprobes jump optimization · afd66255
      Masami Hiramatsu authored
      Introduce kprobes jump optimization arch-independent parts.
      Kprobes uses breakpoint instruction for interrupting execution
      flow, on some architectures, it can be replaced by a jump
      instruction and interruption emulation code. This gains kprobs'
      performance drastically.
      
      To enable this feature, set CONFIG_OPTPROBES=y (default y if the
      arch supports OPTPROBE).
      
      Changes in v9:
       - Fix a bug to optimize probe when enabling.
       - Check nearby probes can be optimize/unoptimize when disarming/arming
         kprobes, instead of registering/unregistering. This will help
         kprobe-tracer because most of probes on it are usually disabled.
      
      Changes in v6:
       - Cleanup coding style for readability.
       - Add comments around get/put_online_cpus().
      
      Changes in v5:
       - Use get_online_cpus()/put_online_cpus() for avoiding text_mutex
         deadlock.

      perf/scripts: Fix supported language listing option · f526d68b
      Tom Zanussi authored
      'perf trace -s list' prints a list of the supported scripting
      languages.  One problem with it is that it falls through and prints
      the trace as well.  The use of 'list' for this also makes it easy to
      confuse with 'perf trace -l', used for listing available scripts.  So
      change 'perf trace -s list' to 'perf trace -s lang' and fixes the
      fall-through problem.

      The reason is: for existing process, in __cmd_record(),
      the pid is 0 rather than the existing process id.

      perf top: Use address pattern in lookup_sym_source · 5f485364
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      Because we may have aliases, like __GI___strcoll_l in
      /lib64/libc-2.10.2.so that appears in objdump as:
      
      $ objdump --start-address=0x0000003715a86420 \
                 --stop-address=0x0000003715a872dc -dS /lib64/libc-2.10.2.so
      
      0000003715a86420 <__strcoll_l>:
        3715a86420:	55                   	push   %rbp
        3715a86421:	48 89 e5             	mov    %rsp,%rbp
        3715a86424:	41 57                	push   %r15
      [root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]#
      
      So look for the address exactly at the start of the line instead
      so that annotation can work for in these cases.

      perf top: Fix annotate for userspace · ee11b90b
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      First, for programs and prelinked libraries, annotate code was
      fooled by objdump output IPs (src->eip in the code) being
      wrongly converted to absolute IPs. In such case there were no
      conversion needed, but in
      
         src->eip = strtoull(src->line, NULL, 16);
         src->eip = map->unmap_ip(map, src->eip); // = eip + map->start - map->pgoff
      
      we were reading absolute address from objdump (e.g. 8048604) and
      then almost doubling it, because eip & map->start are
      approximately close for small programs.
      
      Needless to say, that later, in record_precise_ip() there was no
      matching with real runtime IPs.
      
      And second, like with `perf annotate` the problem with
      non-prelinked *.so was that we were doing rip -> objdump address
      conversion wrong.
      
      Also, because unlike `perf annotate`, `perf top` code does
      annotation based on absolute IPs for performance reasons(*), new
      helper for mapping objdump addresse to IP is introduced.
      
      (*) we get samples info in absolute IPs, and since we do lots of
          hit-testing on absolute IPs at runtime in record_precise_ip(), it's
          better to convert objdump addresses to IPs once and do no conversion
          at runtime.
      
      I also had to fix how objdump output is parsed (with hardcoded
      8/16 characters format, which was inappropriate for ET_DYN dsos
      with small addresses like '4ac')
      
      Also note, that not all objdump output lines has associtated
      IPs, e.g. look at source lines here:
      
          000004ac <my_strlen>:
          extern "C"
          int my_strlen(const char *s)
           4ac:   55                      push   %ebp
           4ad:   89 e5                   mov    %esp,%ebp
           4af:   83 ec 10                sub    $0x10,%esp
          {
              int len = 0;
           4b2:   c7 45 fc 00 00 00 00    movl   $0x0,-0x4(%ebp)
           4b9:   eb 08                   jmp    4c3 <my_strlen+0x17>
      
              while (*s) {
                  ++len;
           4bb:   83 45 fc 01             addl   $0x1,-0x4(%ebp)
                  ++s;
           4bf:   83 45 08 01             addl   $0x1,0x8(%ebp)
      
      So we mark them with eip=0, and ignore such lines in annotate
      lookup code.

      kprobes: Add mcount to the kprobes blacklist · 5ecaafdb
      Masami Hiramatsu authored
      Since mcount function can be called from everywhere,
      it should be blacklisted. Moreover, the "mcount" symbol
      is a special symbol name. So, it is better to put it in
      the generic blacklist.
