During execution of command 'perf top' the error message:

symbol__get_annotation
symbol__alloc_hist
In this function the size of symbol __irf_end is calculated. The size of
a symbol is the difference between its start and end address.
When the symbol was read the first time, its start and end was set to:
symbol__new: __irf_end 0xe954d0-0xe954d0
which is correct and maps with /proc/kallsyms:
root@s8360046:~/linux-4.15.0/tools/perf# fgrep _irf_end /proc/kallsyms
0000000000e954d0 t __irf_end
root@s8360046:~/linux-4.15.0/tools/perf#
In function symbol__alloc_hist() the end of symbol __irf_end is
symbol__alloc_hist sym:__irf_end start:0xe954d0 end:0x3ff80045a8
which is identical with the first module entry in /proc/kallsyms
This results in a symbol size of __irf_req for histogram analyses of
70334140059072 bytes and a malloc() for this requested size fails.
The root cause of this is function
__dso__load_kallsyms()
+-> symbols__fixup_end()
Function symbols__fixup_end() enlarges the last symbol in the kallsyms
map:
# fgrep __irf_end /proc/kallsyms
0000000000e954d0 t __irf_end
#
to the start address of the first module:
# cat /proc/kallsyms | sort | egrep ' [tT] '
....

On s390 the kernel is located around memory address 0x200, 0x10000 or
0x100000, depending on linux version. Modules however start some- where
around 0x3ff xxxx xxxx.
This is different than x86 and produces a large gap for which histogram
allocation fails.
Fix this by detecting the kernel's last symbol and do no adjustment for
it. Introduce a weak function and handle s390 specifics.

'perf diff' currently can only diff symbols(functions).
We should expand it to diff cycles of individual programs blocks as
reported by timed LBR. This would allow to identify changes in specific

We need a new structure to maintain the basic block information, such as,
symbol(function), start/end address of this block, cycles. This patch
creates this structure and with some ops.

Remove the split of symbol tables for data (MAP__VARIABLE) and for
functions (MAP__FUNCTION), its unneeded and there were various places
doing two lookups to find a symbol, so simplify this.
We still will consider only the symbols that matched the filters in
place, i.e. see the (elf_(sec,sym)|symbol_type)__filter() routines in
the patch, just so that we consider only the same symbols as before,
to reduce the possibility of regressions.
All the tests on 50-something build environments, in varios versions
of lots of distros and cross build environments were performed without
build regressions, as usual with all pull requests the other tests were
also performed: 'perf test' and 'make -C tools/perf build-test'.
Also this was done at a great granularity so that regressions can be
bisected more easily.

perf-probe. E.g.
=====
# ./perf probe -x /lib64/libc-2.25.so malloc_get_state
Failed to find symbol malloc_get_state in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so
Error: Failed to add events.
=====
This solves above issue by improving perf-probe symbol search function,
as below.
=====
# ./perf probe -x /lib64/libc-2.25.so malloc_get_state
Added new event:
probe_libc:malloc_get_state (on malloc_get_state in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe_libc:malloc_get_state -aR sleep 1
# ./perf probe -l

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

This is a requirement to create real callchain entries for inlined
frames.
Since the list of inlines usually contains the target symbol too, i.e.
the location where the frames get inlined to, we alias that symbol and
reuse it as-is is. This ensures that other dependent functionality keeps
working, most notably annotation of the target frames.
For all other entries in the inline_list, a fake symbol is created.
These are marked by new 'inlined' member which is set to true. Only
those symbols are managed by the inline_list and get freed when the
inline_list is deleted from within inline_node__delete.

This should result in a start address of:

As seen the .text segment has an offset of 0x68 with start address 0x0.
Therefore 0x68 is added to the address of qeth_send_ipa_cmd and thus
0x13088 + 0x68 = 0x130f0 is displayed.
This is wrong, perf report needs to display the start address of symbol
qeth_send_ipa_cmd at 0x13088 + qeth.ko.text section start address.
The qeth.ko module .text start address is available in the qeth.ko DSO
map. Just identify the kernel module symbols and correct the addresses.
With the fix I see this correct address for symbol: symbol__new:
qeth_send_ipa_cmd 0x3ff802a9da8-0x3ff802a9f86

During work on perf report for s390 I ran into the following issue:
0 0x318 [0x78]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP -1/0:
[0x3ff804d6990(0xfffffc007fb2966f) @ 0]:
x /lib/modules/4.12.0perf1+/kernel/drivers/s390/net/qeth_l2.ko
This is a PERF_RECORD_MMAP entry of the perf.data file with an invalid
module size for qeth_l2.ko (the s390 ethernet device driver).
Even a mainframe does not have 0xfffffc007fb2966f bytes of main memory.
It turned out that this wrong size is created by the perf record
command. What happens is this function call sequence from
__cmd_record():
perf_session__new():
perf_session__create_kernel_maps():
machine__create_kernel_maps():
machine__create_modules(): Creates map for all loaded kernel modules.
modules__parse(): Reads /proc/modules and extracts module name and
load address (1st and last column)
machine__create_module(): Called for every module found in /proc/modules.
Creates a new map for every module found and enters
module name and start address into the map. Since the
module end address is unknown it is set to zero.
This ends up with a kernel module map list sorted by module start
addresses. All module end addresses are zero.
Last machine__create_kernel_maps() calls function map_groups__fixup_end().
This function iterates through the maps and assigns each map entry's
end address the successor map entry start address. The last entry of the
map group has no successor, so ~0 is used as end to consume the remaining
memory.
Later __cmd_record calls function record__synthesize() which in turn calls
perf_event__synthesize_kernel_mmap() and perf_event__synthesize_modules()
to create PERF_REPORT_MMAP entries into the perf.data file.
On s390 this results in the last module qeth_l2.ko
(which has highest start address, see module table:
[root@s8360047 perf]# cat /proc/modules
qeth_l2 86016 1 - Live 0x000003ff804d6000
qeth 266240 1 qeth_l2, Live 0x000003ff80296000
ccwgroup 24576 1 qeth, Live 0x000003ff80218000
vmur 36864 0 - Live 0x000003ff80182000
qdio 143360 2 qeth_l2,qeth, Live 0x000003ff80002000
[root@s8360047 perf]# )
to be the last entry and its map has an end address of ~0.
When the PERF_RECORD_MMAP entry is created for kernel module qeth_l2.ko
its start address and length is written. The length is calculated in line:
event->mmap.len = pos->end - pos->start;
and results in 0xffffffffffffffff - 0x3ff804d6990(*) = 0xfffffc007fb2966f
(*) On s390 the module start address is actually determined by a __weak function
named arch__fix_module_text_start() in machine__create_module().
I think this improvable. We can use the module size (2nd column of /proc/modules)
to get each loaded kernel module size and calculate its end address.
Only for map entries which do not have a valid end address (end is still zero)
we can use the heuristic we have now, that is use successor start address or ~0.

Symbol versioning, as in glibc, results in symbols being defined as:
<real symbol>@[@]<version>
(Note that "@@" identifies a default symbol, if the symbol name is
repeated.)
perf is currently unable to deal with this, and is unable to create user
probes at such symbols:
--
$ nm /lib/powerpc64le-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 | grep pthread_create
0000000000008d30 t __pthread_create_2_1

This patch ignores versioning for default symbols, thus allowing probes to be

Added new event:

It would be useful for perf to support a mode to query the inline stack
for a given callgraph address. This would simplify finding the right
code in code that does a lot of inlining.
The srcline.c has contained the code which supports to translate the
address to filename:line_nr. This patch just extends the function to let
it support getting the inline stacks.
It introduces the inline_list which will store the inline function
result (filename:line_nr and funcname).
If BFD lib is not supported, the result is only filename:line_nr.

This patch serves the initial support to identify and list SDT events in
binaries. When programs containing SDT markers are compiled, gcc with
the help of assembler directives identifies them and places them in the
section ".note.stapsdt".
To find these markers from the binaries, one needs to traverse through
this section and parse the relevant details like the name, type and
location of the marker. Also, the original location could be skewed due
to the effect of prelinking. If that is the case, the locations need to
be adjusted.
The functions in this patch open a given ELF, find out the SDT section,
parse the relevant details, adjust the location (if necessary) and
populate them in a list.
A typical note entry in ".note.stapsdt" section is as follows :
|--nhdr.n_namesz--|
------------------------------------
| nhdr | "stapsdt" |
----- |----------------------------------|
| | <location> <base_address> |
| | <semaphore> |
nhdr.n_descsize | "provider_name" "note_name" |
| | <args> |
----- |----------------------------------|
| nhdr | "stapsdt" |
|...
The above shows an excerpt from the section ".note.stapsdt". 'nhdr' is
a structure which has the note name size (n_namesz), note description
size (n_desc_sz) and note type (n_type).
So, in order to parse the note note info, we need nhdr to tell us where
to start from. As can be seen from <sys/sdt.h>, the name of the SDT
notes given is "stapsdt". But this is not the identifier of the note.
After that, we go to description of the note to find out its location, the
address of the ".stapsdt.base" section and the semaphore address.
Then, we find the provider name and the SDT marker name and then follow the
arguments.

The current method for inserting symbols is to use the symbols__insert()
function. However symbols__insert() does not update the dso symbol
cache. This causes problems in the following scenario:
1. symbol not found at addr using dso__find_symbol
2. symbol inserted at addr using the existing symbols__insert function
3. symbol still not found at addr using dso__find_symbol() because cache isn't
updated. This is undesired behavior.
The undesired behavior in (3) is addressed by creating a new function,
dso__insert_symbol() to both insert the symbol and update the symbol
cache if necessary.
If dso__insert_symbol() is used in (2) instead of symbols__insert(),
then the undesired behavior in (3) is avoided.

ppc64le functions have a Global Entry Point (GEP) and a Local Entry
Point (LEP). While placing a probe, we always prefer the LEP since it
catches function calls through both the GEP and the LEP. In order to do
this, we fixup the function entry points during elf symbol table lookup
to point to the LEPs. This works, but breaks 'perf test kallsyms' since
the symbols loaded from the symbol table (pointing to the LEP) do not
match the symbols in kallsyms.
To fix this, we do not adjust all the symbols during symbol table load.
Instead, we note down st_other in a newly introduced arch-specific
member of perf symbol structure, and later use this to adjust the probe
trace point.
