Support perf probe --del <event> option. Currently, perf probe can have only one event for each --del option. If you'd like to delete several probe events, you need to specify --del for each events. Signed-off-by:

Fix add-probe command syntax without --add option. perf-probe supports add-probe command without --add option. But it treats each argument as an event definition. e.g. perf probe func arg1 arg2 is interpreted as perf probe --add func --add arg1 --add arg2 But it may be useless in many cases. This patch fixes this syntax to fold those arguments into one event definition if there is no --add option. With this change, above command is interpreted as below; perf probe --add "func arg1 arg2" Signed-off-by:

Change probe-added message more user-friendly expression and show usage of new events. Before: Added new event: p:probe/schedule_0 schedule+10 prev=%ax cpu=%bx After: Added new event: probe:schedule_1 (on schedule+1 with prev cpu) You can now use it on all perf tools, such as: perf record -e probe:schedule_1 -a sleep 1 Signed-off-by: -

Change event list format for user readability. perf probe --list shows event list in "[GROUP:EVENT] EVENT-DEFINITION" format, but this format is different from the output of perf-list, and EVENT-DEFINITION is a bit blunt. This patch changes the format to more user friendly one. Before: [probe:schedule_0] schedule+10 prev cpu After: probe:schedule_0 (on schedule+10 with prev cpu) Signed-off-by:

Uses of strcat are almost always signs that someone is too lazy to think about the code a bit more carefully. One always has to know about the lengths of the strings involved to avoid buffer overflows. This is one case where the size of the object code for me is reduced by 38 bytes. The code should also be faster, especially if flags is non-NULL. Signed-off-by:

Whatever the context nature of a breakpoint, we always perform the following constraint checks before allocating it a slot: - Check the number of pinned breakpoint bound the concerned cpus - Check the max number of task-bound breakpoints that are belonging to a task. - Add both and see if we have a reamining slot for the new breakpoint This is the right thing to do when we are about to register a cpu-only bound breakpoint. But not if we are dealing with a task bound breakpoint. What we want in this case is: - Check the number of pinned breakpoint bound the concerned cpus - Check the number of breakpoints that already belong to the task in which the breakpoint to register is bound to. - Add both This fixes a regression that makes the "firefox -g" command fail to register breakpoints once we deal with a secondary thread.

Currently, sample event data is parsed for each commands, and it is assuming that the data is not including other data. (E.g. timechart, trace, etc. can't parse the event if it has PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN) So, even if we record the superset data for multiple commands at a time, commands can't parse. etc. To fix it, this makes common sample event parser, and use it to parse sample event correctly. (PERF_SAMPLE_READ is unsupported for now though, it seems to be not using.) Signed-off-by:

When we enter in irq, two things can happen to preserve the link to the previous frame pointer: - If we were in an irq already, we don't switch to the irq stack as we are inside. We just need to save the previous frame pointer and to link the new one to the previous. - Otherwise we need another level of indirection. We enter the irq with the previous stack. We save the previous bp inside and make bp pointing to its saved address. Then we switch to the irq stack and push bp another time but to the new stack. This makes two levels to dereference instead of one. In the second case, the current stacktrace code omits the second level and loses the frame pointer accuracy. The stack that follows will then be considered as unreliable. Handling that makes the perf callchain happier.

While dumping a stacktrace, the end of the exception stack won't link the frame pointer to the previous stack. The interrupted stack will then be considered as unreliable and ignored by perf, as the frame pointer is unreliable itself. This happens because we overwrite the frame pointer that links to the interrupted frame with the address of the exception stack. This is done in order to reserve space inside. But rbp has been chosen here only because it is not a scratch register, so that the address of the exception stack remains in rbp after calling do_debug(), we can then release the exception stack space without the need to retrieve its address again. But we can pick another non-scratch register to do that, so that we preserve the link to the interrupted stack frame in the stacktraces. Just randomly choose r12. Every registers are saved just before and restored just after calling do_debug(). And r12 is not used in the middle, which makes it a perfect candidate.

Frederic Weisbecker authored
struct perf_event::event callback was called when a breakpoint triggers. But this is a rather opaque callback, pretty tied-only to the breakpoint API and not really integrated into perf as it triggers even when we don't overflow. We prefer to use overflow_handler() as it fits into the perf events rules, being called only when we overflow. Reported-by:
