commit 12a6d2940b upstream.
On s390 the modules loaded in memory have the text segment located after
the GOT and Relocation table. This can be seen with this output:
[root@m35lp76 perf]# fgrep qeth /proc/modules
qeth 151552 1 qeth_l2, Live 0x000003ff800b2000
...
[root@m35lp76 perf]# cat /sys/module/qeth/sections/.text
0x000003ff800b3990
[root@m35lp76 perf]#
There is an offset of 0x1990 bytes. The size of the qeth module is
151552 bytes (0x25000 in hex).
The location of the GOT/relocation table at the beginning of a module is
unique to s390.
commit 203d8a4aa6 ("perf s390: Fix 'start' address of module's map")
adjusts the start address of a module in the map structures, but does
not adjust the size of the modules. This leads to overlapping of module
maps as this example shows:
[root@m35lp76 perf] # ./perf report -D
0 0 0xfb0 [0xa0]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP -1/0: [0x3ff800b3990(0x25000)
@ 0]: x /lib/modules/.../qeth.ko.xz
0 0 0x1050 [0xb0]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP -1/0: [0x3ff800d85a0(0x8000)
@ 0]: x /lib/modules/.../ip6_tables.ko.xz
The module qeth.ko has an adjusted start address modified to b3990, but
its size is unchanged and the module ends at 0x3ff800d8990. This end
address overlaps with the next modules start address of 0x3ff800d85a0.
When the size of the leading GOT/Relocation table stored in the
beginning of the text segment (0x1990 bytes) is subtracted from module
qeth end address, there are no overlaps anymore:
0x3ff800d8990 - 0x1990 = 0x0x3ff800d7000
which is the same as
0x3ff800b2000 + 0x25000 = 0x0x3ff800d7000.
To fix this issue, also adjust the modules size in function
arch__fix_module_text_start(). Add another function parameter named size
and reduce the size of the module when the text segment start address is
changed.

commit b9c0a64901 upstream.
During execution of command 'perf top' the error message:
Not enough memory for annotating '__irf_end' symbol!)
is emitted from this call sequence:
__cmd_top
perf_top__mmap_read
perf_top__mmap_read_idx
perf_event__process_sample
hist_entry_iter__add
hist_iter__top_callback
perf_top__record_precise_ip
hist_entry__inc_addr_samples
symbol__inc_addr_samples
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] '
....
0000000000e952d0 T __security_initcall_end
0000000000e954d0 T __initramfs_size
0000000000e954d0 t __irf_end

000003ff800046d0 t fc_target_setup [scsi_transport_fc]
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.

This patch adds the necessary intelligence to properly compute the value
of 'old' and 'head' when operating in snapshot mode. That way we can
get the latest information in the AUX buffer and be compatible with the
generic AUX ring buffer mechanic.
Tester notes:
> Leo, have you had the chance to test/review this one? Suzuki?
Sure. I applied this patch on the perf/core branch (with latest

[ Upstream commit 6738028dd5 ]
Command 'perf record' and 'perf report' on a system without kernel
debuginfo packages uses /proc/kallsyms and /proc/modules to find
addresses for kernel and module symbols. On x86 this works for root and
non-root users.
On s390, when invoked as non-root user, many of the following warnings
are shown and module symbols are missing:
proc/{kallsyms,modules} inconsistency while looking for
"[sha1_s390]" module!
Command 'perf record' creates a list of module start addresses by
parsing the output of /proc/modules and creates a PERF_RECORD_MMAP
record for the kernel and each module. The following function call
sequence is executed:
machine__create_kernel_maps
machine__create_module
modules__parse
machine__create_module --> for each line in /proc/modules
arch__fix_module_text_start
Function arch__fix_module_text_start() is s390 specific. It opens
file /sys/module/<name>/sections/.text to extract the module's .text
section start address. On s390 the module loader prepends a header
before the first section, whereas on x86 the module's text section
address is identical the the module's load address.
However module section files are root readable only. For non-root the
read operation fails and machine__create_module() returns an error.
Command perf record does not generate any PERF_RECORD_MMAP record
for loaded modules. Later command perf report complains about missing
module maps.
To fix this function arch__fix_module_text_start() always returns
success. For root users there is no change, for non-root users
the module's load address is used as module's text start address
(the prepended header then counts as part of the text section).
This enable non-root users to use module symbols and avoid the
warning when perf report is executed.

The new syscall table support for arm64 mistakenly used the system's
asm-generic/unistd.h file when processing the
tools/arch/arm64/include/uapi/asm/unistd.h file's include directive:
#include <asm-generic/unistd.h>
See "Committer notes" section of commit 2b58824356 "perf arm64:
Generate system call table from asm/unistd.h" for more details.
This patch removes the committer's temporary workaround, and instructs
the host compiler to search the build tree's include path for the right
copy of the unistd.h file, instead of the one on the system's
/usr/include path.
It thus fixes the committer's test that cross-builds an arm64 perf on an
x86 platform running Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS with an old toolchain:

Adding to tests that aims on kernel breakpoint modification bugs.
First test creates HW breakpoint, tries to change it and checks it was
properly changed. It aims on kernel issue that prevents HW breakpoint to
be changed via ptrace interface.
The first test forks, the child sets itself as ptrace tracee and waits
in signal for parent to trace it, then it calls bp_1 and quits.
The parent does following steps:
- creates a new breakpoint (id 0) for bp_2 function
- changes that breakpoint to bp_1 function
- waits for the breakpoint to hit and checks
it has proper rip of bp_1 function
This test aims on an issue in kernel preventing to change disabled
breakpoints
Second test mimics the first one except for few steps
in the parent:
- creates a new breakpoint (id 0) for bp_1 function
- changes that breakpoint to bogus (-1) address
- waits for the breakpoint to hit and checks
it has proper rip of bp_1 function
This test aims on an issue in kernel disabling enabled
breakpoint after unsuccesful change.

In some cases, a symbol may have multiple aliases. Attempting to add an
entry probe for such symbols results in a probe being added at an
incorrect location while it fails altogether for return probes. This is
only applicable for binaries with debug information.
During the arch-dependent post-processing, the offset from the start of
the symbol at which the probe is to be attached is determined and added
to the start address of the symbol to get the probe's location. In case
there are multiple aliases, this offset gets added multiple times for
each alias of the symbol and we end up with an incorrect probe location.
This can be verified on a powerpc64le system as shown below.
$ nm /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build/vmlinux | grep "sys_open$"

For both the entry probe and the return probe, the probe location
should be _text+4276888 (0xc000000000414298). Since another alias
exists for 'sys_open', the post-processing code will end up adding
the offset (8 for powerpc64le) twice and perf will attempt to add
the probe at _text+4276896 (0xc0000000004142a0) instead.

Add initial support for s390 auxiliary traces using the CPU-Measurement
Sampling Facility.
Support and ignore PERF_REPORT_AUXTRACE_INFO records in the perf data
file. Later patches will show the contents of the auxiliary traces.
Setup the auxtrace queues and data structures for s390. A raw dump of
the perf.data file now does not show an error when an auxtrace event is
encountered.
Output before:

Additional notes about the underlying hardware and software

=============================================================================
The CPU-Measurement Facility (CPU-MF) provides a set of functions to obtain
performance information on the mainframe. Basically, it was introduced
with System z10 years ago for the z/Architecture, that means, 64-bit.
For Linux, there are two facilities of interest, counter facility and sampling
facility. The counter facility provides hardware counters for instructions,
cycles, crypto-activities, and many more.
The sampling facility is a hardware sampler that when started will write
samples at a particular interval into a sampling buffer. At some point,
for example, if a sample block is full, it generates an interrupt to collect
samples (while the sampler continues to run).
Few years ago, I started to provide the a perf PMU to use the counter
and sampling facilities. Recently, the device driver was updated to also
"export" the sampling buffer into the AUX area. Thomas now completed the
related perf work to interpret and process these AUX data.
If people are more interested in the sampling facility, they can have a
look into:

http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=isg26fcd1cc32246f4c8852574ce0044734a
and to learn how-to use it for Linux on Z, have look at chapter 54,
"Using the CPU-measurement facilities" in the:

The UAPI file byteorder/little_endian.h uses the __always_inline define
without including the header where it is defined, linux/stddef.h, this
ends up working in all the other distros because that file gets included
seemingly by luck from one of the files included from little_endian.h.
But not on Alpine:edge, that fails for all files where perf_event.h is
included but linux/stddef.h isn't include before that.
Adding the missing linux/stddef.h file where it breaks on Alpine:edge to
fix that, in all other distros, that is just a very small header anyway.

This should speed up accessing new system calls introduced with the
kernel rather than waiting for libaudit updates to include them.
Using the existing other arch scripts resulted in this error:
tools/perf/arch/arm64/entry/syscalls//mksyscalltbl: 25: printf: __NR3264_ftruncate: expected numeric value
because, unlike other arches, asm-generic's unistd.h does things like:
#define __NR_ftruncate __NR3264_ftruncate
Turning the scripts printf's %d into a %s resulted in this in the
generated syscalls.c file:
static const char *syscalltbl_arm64[] = {
[__NR3264_ftruncate] = "ftruncate",
So we use the host C compiler to fold the macros, and print them out
from within a temporary C program, in order to get the correct output:
static const char *syscalltbl_arm64[] = {
[46] = "ftruncate",
Committer notes:
Testing this with a container with an old toolchain breaks because it
ends up using the system's /usr/include/asm-generic/unistd.h, included
from tools/arch/arm64/include/uapi/asm/unistd.h when what is desired is
for it to include tools/include/uapi/asm-generic/unistd.h.
Since all that tools/arch/arm64/include/uapi/asm/unistd.h is to set a
define and then include asm-generic/unistd.h, do that directly and use
tools/include/uapi/asm-generic/unistd.h as the file to get the syscall
definitions to expand.
Testing it:
tools/perf/arch/arm64/entry/syscalls/mksyscalltbl /gcc-linaro-5.4.1-2017.05-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc gcc tools/include/uapi/asm-generic/unistd.h
Now works and generates in the syscall string table.
Before it ended up as:

For powerpc64, perf will filter out the second entry in the callchain,
i.e. the LR value, if the return address of the function corresponding
to the probed location has already been saved on its caller's stack.
The state of the return address is determined using debug information.
At any point within a function, if the return address is already saved
somewhere, a DWARF expression can tell us about its location. If the
return address in still in LR only, no DWARF expression would exist.
Typically, the instructions in a function's prologue first copy the LR
value to R0 and then pushes R0 on to the stack. If LR has already been
copied to R0 but R0 is yet to be pushed to the stack, we can still get a
DWARF expression that says that the return address is in R0. This is
indicating that getting a DWARF expression for the return address does
not guarantee the fact that it has already been saved on the stack.
This can be observed on a powerpc64le system running Fedora 27 as shown
below.

This updates the tools/perf/ copy of the system call table for x86 which makes

matter in which system it gets built, i.e. older systems where the syscalls are

still be aware of these syscalls/.

Out of thread__find_addr_location(..., MAP__FUNCTION, ...), idea here is to
continue removing references to MAP__{FUNCTION,VARIABLE} ahead of
getting both types of symbols in the same rbtree, as various places do
two lookups, looking first at MAP__FUNCTION, then at MAP__VARIABLE.
So thread__find_symbol() will eventually do just that, and 'struct
symbol' will have the symbol type, for code that cares about that.

Command 'perf record' calls:
cmd_report()
record__auxtrace_init()
auxtrace_record__init()
On s390 function auxtrace_record__init() returns random return value due
to missing initialization.
This sometime causes 'perf record' to exit immediately without error
message and creating a perf.data file.
Fix this by setting error the return code to zero before returning from
platform specific functions which may not set the error code in call
cases.

Make the type field in pmu-events/arch/s390/mapfile.cvs more generic to
match the created cpuid string for s390.
The pattern also checks for the counter first version number and counter
second version number ([13]\.[1-5]) and the authorization field which
follows.
These numbers do not exist in the cpuid identification string when perf
commands are executed on a z/VM environment (which does not support CPU
counter measurement facility).
CPUID string for LPAR:
cpuid : IBM,3906,704,M03,3.5,002f
CPUID string for z/VM:
cpuid : IBM,2964,702,N96
This allows the removal of s390 specific cpuid compare code and uses the
common compare function with its regular expression matching algorithm.

S390 has several load and store instructions with target operand
addressing relative to the program counter, for example lrl, lgrl, strl,
stgrl.
These instructions are handled similar to x86. Objdump output displays
those instructions as:
9595c: c4 2d 00 09 9c 54 lgrl %r7,1c8540 <mp_+0x60>
This output is parsed (like on x86) and perf annotate shows those lines
as:
lgrl %r7,mp_+0x60
This patch handles the s390 specific instruction parsing for PC relative
load and store instructions.

'perf annotate' displays function call assembler instructions with a
right arrow. Hitting enter on this line/instruction causes the browser
to disassemble this target function and show it on the screen. On s390
this results in an error message 'The called function was not found.'
The function call assembly line parsing does not handle the s390 bras
and brasl instructions. Function call__parse expects the target as first
operand:
callq e9140 <__fxstat>
S390 has a register number as first operand:
brasl %r14,41d60 <abort>
Therefore the target addresses on s390 are always zero which is an
invalid address.
Introduce a s390 specific call parsing function which skips the first
operand on s390.
