perf record/stat: Explicitly call out event modifiers in the documentation

2020-09-05T09:22:49+00:00

commit e48a73a312ebf19cc3d72aa74985db25c30757c1 upstream.

Event modifiers are not mentioned in the perf record or perf stat
manpages.  Add them to orient new users more effectively by pointing
them to the perf list manpage for details.

selftests: disable rp_filter for icmp_redirect.sh

2020-09-03T09:26:59+00:00

[ Upstream commit bcf7ddb0186d366f761f86196b480ea6dd2dc18c ]

h1 is initially configured to reach h2 via r1 rather than the
more direct path through r2. If rp_filter is set and inherited
for r2, forwarding fails since the source address of h1 is
reachable from eth0 vs the packet coming to it via r1 and eth1.
Since rp_filter setting affects the test, explicitly reset it.

selftests/powerpc: Purge extra count_pmc() calls of ebb selftests

2020-09-03T09:26:44+00:00

[ Upstream commit 3337bf41e0dd70b4064cdf60acdfcdc2d050066c ]

An extra count on ebb_state.stats.pmc_count[PMC_INDEX(pmc)] is being per-
formed when count_pmc() is used to reset PMCs on a few selftests. This
extra pmc_count can occasionally invalidate results, such as the ones from
cycles_test shown hereafter. The ebb_check_count() failed with an above
the upper limit error due to the extra value on ebb_state.stats.pmc_count.

Furthermore, this extra count is also indicated by extra PMC1 trace_log on
the output of the cycle test (as well as on pmc56_overflow_test):

perf probe: Fix memory leakage when the probe point is not found

2020-08-26T08:40:48+00:00

[ Upstream commit 12d572e785b15bc764e956caaa8a4c846fd15694 ]

Fix the memory leakage in debuginfo__find_trace_events() when the probe
point is not found in the debuginfo. If there is no probe point found in
the debuginfo, debuginfo__find_probes() will NOT return -ENOENT, but 0.

Thus the caller of debuginfo__find_probes() must check the tf.ntevs and
release the allocated memory for the array of struct probe_trace_event.

The current code releases the memory only if the debuginfo__find_probes()
hits an error but not checks tf.ntevs. In the result, the memory allocated
on *tevs are not released if tf.ntevs == 0.

This fixes the memory leakage by checking tf.ntevs == 0 in addition to
ret < 0.

kbuild: support LLVM=1 to switch the default tools to Clang/LLVM

2020-08-26T08:40:47+00:00

commit a0d1c951ef08ed24f35129267e3595d86f57f5d3 upstream.

As Documentation/kbuild/llvm.rst implies, building the kernel with a
full set of LLVM tools gets very verbose and unwieldy.

Provide a single switch LLVM=1 to use Clang and LLVM tools instead
of GCC and Binutils. You can pass it from the command line or as an
environment variable.

Please note LLVM=1 does not turn on the integrated assembler. You need
to pass LLVM_IAS=1 to use it. When the upstream kernel is ready for the
integrated assembler, I think we can make it default.

We discussed what we need, and we agreed to go with a simple boolean
flag that switches both target and host tools:

  https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/3/28/494
  https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/4/3/43

Some items discussed, but not adopted:

- LLVM_DIR

  When multiple versions of LLVM are installed, I just thought supporting
  LLVM_DIR=/path/to/my/llvm/bin/ might be useful.

  CC      = $(LLVM_DIR)clang
  LD      = $(LLVM_DIR)ld.lld
    ...

  However, we can handle this by modifying PATH. So, we decided to not do
  this.

- LLVM_SUFFIX

  Some distributions (e.g. Debian) package specific versions of LLVM with
  naming conventions that use the version as a suffix.

  CC      = clang$(LLVM_SUFFIX)
  LD      = ld.lld(LLVM_SUFFIX)
    ...

  will allow a user to pass LLVM_SUFFIX=-11 to use clang-11 etc.,
  but the suffixed versions in /usr/bin/ are symlinks to binaries in
  /usr/lib/llvm-#/bin/, so this can also be handled by PATH.

tools build feature: Quote CC and CXX for their arguments

2020-08-21T11:05:38+00:00

[ Upstream commit fa5c893181ed2ca2f96552f50073786d2cfce6c0 ]

When using a cross-compilation environment, such as OpenEmbedded,
the CC an CXX variables are set to something more than just a
command: there are arguments (such as --sysroot) that need to be
passed on to the compiler so that the right set of headers and
libraries are used.

For the particular case that our systems detected, CC is set to
the following:

  export CC="aarch64-linaro-linux-gcc  --sysroot=/oe/build/tmp/work/machine/perf/1.0-r9/recipe-sysroot"

Without quotes, detection is as follows:

perf bench mem: Always memset source before memcpy

2020-08-21T11:05:38+00:00

[ Upstream commit 1beaef29c34154ccdcb3f1ae557f6883eda18840 ]

For memcpy, the source pages are memset to zero only when --cycles is
used.  This leads to wildly different results with or without --cycles,
since all sources pages are likely to be mapped to the same zero page
without explicit writes.

Before this fix:

$ export cmd="./perf stat -e LLC-loads -- ./perf bench \
  mem memcpy -s 1024MB -l 100 -f default"
$ $cmd

         2,935,826      LLC-loads
       3.821677452 seconds time elapsed

$ $cmd --cycles

       217,533,436      LLC-loads
       8.616725985 seconds time elapsed

After this fix:

$ $cmd

       214,459,686      LLC-loads
       8.674301124 seconds time elapsed

$ $cmd --cycles

       214,758,651      LLC-loads
       8.644480006 seconds time elapsed

tools build feature: Use CC and CXX from parent

2020-08-21T11:05:34+00:00

[ Upstream commit e3232c2f39acafd5a29128425bc30b9884642cfa ]

commit c8c188679ccf ("tools build: Use the same CC for feature detection
and actual build") changed these assignments from unconditional (:=) to
conditional (?=) so that they wouldn't clobber values from the
environment. However, conditional assignment does not work properly for
variables that Make implicitly sets, among which are CC and CXX. To
quote tools/scripts/Makefile.include, which handles this properly:

  # Makefiles suck: This macro sets a default value of $(2) for the
  # variable named by $(1), unless the variable has been set by
  # environment or command line. This is necessary for CC and AR
  # because make sets default values, so the simpler ?= approach
  # won't work as expected.

In other words, the conditional assignments will not run even if the
variables are not overridden in the environment; Make will set CC to
"cc" and CXX to "g++" when it starts[1], meaning the variables are not
empty by the time the conditional assignments are evaluated. This breaks
cross-compilation when CROSS_COMPILE is set but CC isn't, since "cc"
gets used for feature detection instead of the cross compiler (and
likewise for CXX).

To fix the issue, just pass down the values of CC and CXX computed by
the parent Makefile, which gets included by the Makefile that actually
builds whatever we're detecting features for and so is guaranteed to
have good values. This is a better solution anyway, since it means we
aren't trying to replicate the logic of the parent build system and so
don't risk it getting out of sync.

Leave PKG_CONFIG alone, since 1) there's no common logic to compute it
in Makefile.include, and 2) it's not an implicit variable, so
conditional assignment works properly.
