[PATCH v3 0/7] Fixes for perf probe issues on ppc

[Naveen N. Rao]

This patchset fixes various issues with perf probe on powerpc across ABIv1 and
ABIv2:
- in the presence of DWARF debug-info,
- in the absence of DWARF, but with the symbol table, and
- in the absence of debug-info, but with kallsyms.

Arnaldo,
I have moved all patches to use __weak functions. Kindly take a look and let me
know if this is what you had in mind.

Thanks!
- Naveen

----
Changes since v2:
The primary change is with the use of __weak functions instead of compiler
macros. Along with that, I have also addressed all previous review comments
(*). Individual patches have the detailed changelog. Please note that I have
dropped the first (kernel) patch from the last series since it has been pushed
upstream. This series now only includes the rest of the patches.

[PATCH v3 1/7] perf probe: Improve detection of file/function name in the probe pattern

[Naveen N. Rao]

Currently, perf probe considers patterns including a '.' to be a file.
However, this causes problems on powerpc ABIv1 where all functions have
a leading '.':

  $ perf probe -F | grep schedule_timeout_interruptible
  .schedule_timeout_interruptible
  $ perf probe .schedule_timeout_interruptible
  Semantic error :File always requires line number or lazy pattern.
    Error: Command Parse Error.

Fix this:
- by checking the probe pattern in more detail, and
- skipping leading dot if one exists when creating/deleting events.

Changes:
- Folded initial part of patch 04 [now 03] into this per Masami.
- Moved to using a bool file_spec and some whitespace changes.

Just gave this a real quick look, saw no problems, but I'll defer this

perf probe: Improve detection of file/function name in the probe pattern

Currently, perf probe considers patterns including a '.' to be a file.
However, this causes problems on powerpc ABIv1 where all functions have
a leading '.':

  $ perf probe -F | grep schedule_timeout_interruptible
  .schedule_timeout_interruptible
  $ perf probe .schedule_timeout_interruptible
  Semantic error :File always requires line number or lazy pattern.
    Error: Command Parse Error.

Fix this:
- by checking the probe pattern in more detail, and
- skipping leading dot if one exists when creating/deleting events.

[PATCH v3 2/7] perf probe/ppc: Fix symbol fixup issues due to ELF type

[Naveen N. Rao]

If using the symbol table, symbol addresses are not being fixed up
properly, resulting in probes being placed at wrong addresses:

  # perf probe do_fork
  Added new event:
    probe:do_fork        (on do_fork)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

	  perf record -e probe:do_fork -aR sleep 1

  # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
  p:probe/do_fork _text+635952
  # printf "%x" 635952
  9b430
  # grep do_fork /boot/System.map
  c0000000000ab430 T .do_fork

Fix by checking for ELF type ET_DYN used by ppc64 kernels.

perf probe ppc: Fix symbol fixup issues due to ELF type

If using the symbol table, symbol addresses are not being fixed up
properly, resulting in probes being placed at wrong addresses:

  # perf probe do_fork
  Added new event:
    probe:do_fork        (on do_fork)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

	  perf record -e probe:do_fork -aR sleep 1

  # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
  p:probe/do_fork _text+635952
  # printf "%x" 635952
  9b430
  # grep do_fork /boot/System.map
  c0000000000ab430 T .do_fork

Fix by checking for ELF type ET_DYN used by ppc64 kernels.

Allow perf probe to work on ppc ABIv1 without the need to specify the

We do this by changing how symbol name comparison works on ppc ABIv1 -

perf probe ppc: Enable matching against dot symbols automatically

Allow perf probe to work on ppc ABIv1 without the need to specify the
leading dot '.' for functions. 'perf probe do_fork' works with this
patch.

We do this by changing how symbol name comparison works on ppc ABIv1 -
we simply ignore and skip over the initial dot, if one exists, during
symbol name comparison.

[PATCH v3 6/7] perf probe/ppc64le: Prefer symbol table lookup over DWARF

[Naveen N. Rao]

Use symbol table lookups by default if DWARF is not necessary, since
powerpc ABIv2 encodes local entry points in the symbol table and the
function entry address in DWARF may not be appropriate for kprobes, as
described here:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17638

"The DWARF address ranges deliberately include the *whole* function,
both global and local entry points."
...
"If you want to set probes on a local entry point, you should look up
the symbol in the main symbol table (not DWARF), and check the st_other
bits; they will indicate whether the function has a local entry point,
and what its offset from the global entry point is.  Note that GDB does
the same when setting a breakpoint on a function entry."

perf probe ppc64le: Prefer symbol table lookup over DWARF

Use symbol table lookups by default if DWARF is not necessary, since
powerpc ABIv2 encodes local entry points in the symbol table and the
function entry address in DWARF may not be appropriate for kprobes, as
described here:

https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17638

"The DWARF address ranges deliberately include the *whole* function,
both global and local entry points."
...
"If you want to set probes on a local entry point, you should look up
the symbol in the main symbol table (not DWARF), and check the st_other
bits; they will indicate whether the function has a local entry point,
and what its offset from the global entry point is.  Note that GDB does
the same when setting a breakpoint on a function entry."

[PATCH v3 7/7] perf probe/ppc64le: Fixup function entry if using kallsyms lookup

[Naveen N. Rao]

On powerpc ABIv2, if no debug-info is found and we use kallsyms, we need
to fixup the function entry to point to the local entry point. Use
offset of 8 since current toolchains always generate 2 instructions (8
bytes).

Ok, I applied all but the first, for which I am waiting for Masami's
reaction, I kept Srikar's reviewed-by for the other patches, but would
as well like to get his word that he keeps it after the __weak changes.

So, for now, I'll leave it for a while sitting in my local tree, to give
time to Masami and Srikar, ok?

Sure. We will wait for Masami and Srikar to review/confirm, but Srikar's 
reviewed-by is for the current revision.
