Since parse_perf_probe_point() deals with a user passed argument, we
should not assume it to be a valid string.
Without this patch, if pass '' to perf probe, a segfault raises:
$ perf probe -a ''
Segmentation fault
This patch checks argument of parse_perf_probe_point() before
string processing.
After this patch:
$ perf probe -a ''

The commit 512ae1bd6a ("perf tools: Consolidate management of default
sort orders") changed default value of the 'sort_order' variable to NULL
indicating that users don't set any sort keys on the command line.
However it missed to update a check in perf_evlist__tty_browse_hists()
so that 'perf report -T' cannot show the per-thread values after the
normal output. This patch fixes it to work again.
Note that the -T option only works on --stdio and neither --sort nor
--parent option was given.

This patch fixes the race in the beginning of benchmark run when some
threads hasn't got assigned curr_cpu yet so they don't occur in
nodes-of-process stats and benchmark concludes that all remaining
threads are converged already.
The race can be reproduced with small amount of threads and some bigger
amount of shared process memory, e.g. one process, two threads and 5GB
of process memory.

The futex-requeue benchmark can hang because of missing wakeups once the
benchmark is done, ie:
[Run 1]: Requeued 1024 of 1024 threads in 0.3290 ms
perf: couldn't wakeup all tasks (135/1024)
This bug, while perhaps suggesting missing wakeups in kernel futex code,
is merely a consequence of the crappy FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE man page,
incorrectly mentioning that the number of requeued tasks is in fact
returned, not the wakeups.
This patch acknowledges this and updates the corresponding futex_wake
code around it.

There are missing curly braces which causes find_variable() return wrong

This problem can be reproduced as following:

Perf top raise a warning if a kernel sample is collected but kernel map
is restricted. The warning message needs to dereference al.map->dso...
However, previous perf_event__preprocess_sample() doesn't always
guarantee al.map != NULL, for example, when kernel map is restricted.
This patch validates al.map before dereferencing, avoid the segfault.

We were not checking in the inner event processing loop if the forked workload
had finished, which, on a busy system, may make it take a long time trying to
drain events, entering a seemingly neverending loop, waiting for the system to
get idle enough to make it drain the buffers.
Fix it by disabling the events when 'done' is true, in the inner loop, to start
draining what is in the buffers.

commit f7aa222ff3
Author: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
Date: Tue Feb 3 13:25:39 2015 -0300
perf trace: No need to enable evsels for workload started from perf
The assumption was that whenever a workload is specified, the
attr.enable_on_exec evsel flag would be set, but that is not happening
when perf_record_opts.system_wide is set, for instance
That resulted in both perf_evlist__enable() and attr.enable_on_exec
being not called/set, which made the events to remain disabled while the
workload runs, producing no output.
Fix it, by calling perf_evlist__enable() in the 'trace' tool
when forking and not targetting a workload started from trace
v2: Test against !target__none(), as suggested by Namhyung Kim, that is
what is used in perf_evsel__config() when deciding if the
attr.enable_on_exec flag to be set. More work is needed to cover other
cases such as opts->initial_delay.

The core_pmu does not define cpu_* callbacks, which handles
allocation of 'struct cpu_hw_events::shared_regs' data,
initialization of debug store and PMU_FL_EXCL_CNTRS counters.
While this probably won't happen on bare metal, virtual CPU can
define x86_pmu.extra_regs together with PMU version 1 and thus
be using core_pmu -> using shared_regs data without it being
allocated. That could could leave to following panic:

Dan Carpenter reported that pt_event_add() has buggy
error handling logic: it returns 0 instead of -EBUSY when
it fails to start a newly added event.
Furthermore, the control flow in this function is messy,
with cleanup labels mixed with direct returns.
Fix the bug and clean up the code by converting it to
a straight fast path for the regular non-failing case,
plus a clear sequence of cascading goto labels to do
all cleanup.
NOTE: I materially changed the existing clean up logic in the
pt_event_start() failure case to use the direct
perf_aux_output_end() path, not pt_event_del(), because
perf_aux_output_end() is enough here.

RAPL energy hardware unit can vary within a single CPU package, e.g.
HSW server DRAM has a fixed energy unit of 15.3 uJ (2^-16) whereas
the unit on other domains can be enumerated from power unit MSR.
There might be other variations in the future, this patch adds
per cpu model quirk to allow special handling of certain cpus.
hw_unit is also removed from per cpu data since it is not per cpu
and the sampling rate for energy counter is typically not high.
Without this patch, DRAM domain on HSW servers will be counted
4x higher than the real energy counter.

The first argument passed to find_probe_point_lazy() should be CU die,
which will be passed to die_walk_lines() when lazy_line matches.
Currently, when we probe with lazy_line pattern to file without function
name, NULL pointer is passed and causes a segment fault.
Can be reproduced as following:
$ perf probe -k vmlinux --add='fs/super.c;s->s_count=1;'
[ 1958.984658] perf[1020]: segfault at 10 ip 00007fc6e10d8c71 sp
00007ffcbfaaf900 error 4 in libdw-0.161.so[7fc6e10ce000+34000]
Segmentation fault
After this patch:
$ perf probe -k vmlinux --add='fs/super.c;s->s_count=1;'
Added new event:
probe:_stext (on @fs/super.c)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:_stext -aR sleep 1

If we use lazy matching, it failed to open a souce file if perf command
is invoked outside of compilation directory:
$ perf probe -a '__schedule;clear_*'
Failed to open kernel/sched/core.c: No such file or directory
Error: Failed to add events. (-2)
OTOH, other commands like "probe -L" can solve the souce directory by
themselves. Let's make it possible for lazy matching too!

When perf probe searched in a debuginfo file and failed, it tried with
an alternative, in function get_alternative_probe_event():
memcpy(tmp, &pev->point, sizeof(*tmp));
memset(&pev->point, 0, sizeof(pev->point));
In this case, it drops the retprobe flag and forgets to set it back in
find_alternative_probe_point(), so the problem occurs.
Can be reproduced as following:
$ perf probe -v -k vmlinux --add='sys_write%return'

Added new event:

The struct page is opaque for userspace tools, so it'd be better to save
pfn in order to identify page frames.
The textual output of $debugfs/tracing/trace file remains unchanged and
only raw (binary) data format is changed - but thanks to libtraceevent,
userspace tools which deal with the raw data (like perf and trace-cmd)
can parse the format easily. So impact on the userspace will also be
minimal.

Dan Carpenter pointed out that the control flow in pt_pmu_hw_init()
is a bit messy: for example the kfree(de_attrs) is entirely
superfluous.
Another problem is the inconsistent mixing of label based and
direct return error handling.
Add modern, label based error handling instead and clean up the code
a bit as well.
Note that we'll still do a kfree(NULL) in the normal case - this does
not matter as this is an init path and kfree() returns early if it
sees a NULL.

commit: f3b623b849 ("perf tools: Reference count struct thread")
appends every thread->node to dead_threads in machine__remove_thread()
and list_del_init() this node in thread__put().
perf_event__exit_del_thread() releases thread wihout using
machine__remove_thread(), and causes a NULL pointer crash when
list_del_init(&thread->node) is called. Fix this by using
machine_remove_thread() instead of using thread__put() directly.

However, the replay_repeat can be changed to other value by using -r

more accurate results instead of the default value 10.

The soft maximum number of open files for a calling process is 1024,
which is defined as INR_OPEN_CUR in include/uapi/linux/fs.h, and the
hard maximum number of open files for a calling process is 4096, which
is defined as INR_OPEN_MAX in include/uapi/linux/fs.h.
Both INR_OPEN_CUR and INR_OPEN_MAX are used to limit the value of
RLIMIT_NOFILE in include/asm-generic/resource.h.
And the soft maximum number finally decides the limitation of the
maximum files which are allowed to be opened.
That is to say a process can use at most 1024 file descriptors for its
o pened files, or an EMFILE error will happen.
This error can be fixed by increasing the soft maximum number, under the
constraint that the soft maximum number can not exceed the hard maximum
number, or both soft and hard maximum number should be increased
simultaneously with privilege.
For perf sched replay, it uses sys_perf_event_open to create the file
descriptor for each of the tasks in order to handle information of perf
events.
That is to say each task needs a unique file descriptor. In x86_64,
there may be over 1024 or 4096 tasks correspoinding to the record in
perf.data, which causes that no enough file descriptors can be used.
As a result, EMFILE error happens and stops the replay process. To solve
this problem, we adaptively increase the soft and hard maximum number of
open files with a '-f' option.
Example:
Test environment: x86_64 with 160 cores
$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
163840
$ cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max
6815744
$ ulimit -Sn
1024
$ ulimit -Hn
4096

Since there is sem_wait for each task in the wait_for_tasks(), e.g.
sem_wait(&task->work_done_sem).
The sem_wait can continue only when work_done_sem is greater than 0, or
it will be blocked.
For perf sched replay, one task may sem_post the work_done_sem of
another task, which causes the work_done_sem of that task processed in a
reasonable sequence, e.g. sem_post, sem_wait, sem_wait, sem_post...
This sequence simulates the sched process of the running tasks at the
time when perf sched record runs.
As a result, all the tasks are required and their threads must be
successfully created.
If any one (task A) of the tasks fails to create its thread, then
another task (task B), whose work_done_sem needs sem_post from that
failed task A, may likely block itself due to seg_wait.
And this is a dead halt, since task B's thread_func cannot continue at
all.
To solve this problem, perf sched replay should exit once any task fails
to create its thread.
Example:
Test environment: x86_64 with 160 cores
Before this patch:
$ perf sched replay
...
Error: sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with -1 (Too many open
files)
------------------------------------------------------------ <- dead halt
After this patch:
$ perf sched replay
...
task 1551 ( <unknown>: 0), nr_events: 10
Error: sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with -1 (Too many open
files)
$
As shown above, perf sched replay finishes the process after printing an
error message and does not block itself.

The pr_err in self_open_counters() prints error message to stderr.
Unlike stdout, stderr uses memory buffer on the stack of each calling
process.
The pr_err in self_open_counters() works in a thread called thread_func
created in function create_tasks, which concurrently creates
sched->nr_tasks threads.
If the error happens and pr_err prints the error message in each of
these threads, the stack size of the perf process (default is 8192
kbytes) will quickly run out and the segmentation fault will happen
then.
To solve this problem, pr_err with self_open_counters() should be moved
from newly created threads to the old main thread of the perf process.
Then the pr_err can work in a stable situation without the strange
segmentation fault problem.
Example:
Test environment: x86_64 with 160 cores
Before this patch:
$ perf sched replay
...
task 1549 ( :163132: 163132), nr_events: 1
task 1550 ( :163540: 163540), nr_events: 1
task 1551 ( <unknown>: 0), nr_events: 10
Segmentation fault
After this patch:
$ perf sched replay
...
task 1549 ( :163132: 163132), nr_events: 1
task 1550 ( :163540: 163540), nr_events: 1
task 1551 ( <unknown>: 0), nr_events: 10
...
As shown above, the result continues without any segmentation fault.

Although the memory of pid_to_task can be allocated via calloc according
to the value of /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max, it cannot handle the case when
pid_max is changed after 'perf sched record' has created its perf.data.
If the new pid_max configured in 'perf sched replay' is smaller than the
old pid_max configured in 'perf sched record', then it will cause the
assertion failure problem.
To solve this problem, we realloc the memory of pid_to_task stepwise
once the passed-in pid parameter in register_pid is larger than the
current pid_max.
Example:
Test environment: x86_64 with 160 cores
$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
163840
$ perf sched record ls
$ echo 5000 > /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
5000
