From 97860b483c5597663a174ff7405be957b4838391 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Adrian Hunter Date: Wed, 19 Jun 2019 09:44:28 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] perf thread-stack: Fix thread stack return from kernel for kernel-only case MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Commit f08046cb3082 ("perf thread-stack: Represent jmps to the start of a different symbol") had the side-effect of introducing more stack entries before return from kernel space. When user space is also traced, those entries are popped before entry to user space, but when user space is not traced, they get stuck at the bottom of the stack, making the stack grow progressively larger. Fix by detecting a return-from-kernel branch type, and popping kernel addresses from the stack then. Note, the problem and fix affect the exported Call Graph / Tree but not the callindent option used by "perf script --call-trace". Example: perf-with-kcore record example -e intel_pt//k -- ls perf-with-kcore script example --itrace=bep -s ~/libexec/perf-core/scripts/python/export-to-sqlite.py example.db branches calls ~/libexec/perf-core/scripts/python/exported-sql-viewer.py example.db Menu option: Reports -> Context-Sensitive Call Graph Before: (showing Call Path column only) Call Path ▶ perf ▼ ls ▼ 12111:12111 ▶ setup_new_exec ▶ __task_pid_nr_ns ▶ perf_event_pid_type ▶ perf_event_comm_output ▶ perf_iterate_ctx ▶ perf_iterate_sb ▶ perf_event_comm ▶ __set_task_comm ▶ load_elf_binary ▶ search_binary_handler ▶ __do_execve_file.isra.41 ▶ __x64_sys_execve ▶ do_syscall_64 ▼ entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe ▼ swapgs_restore_regs_and_return_to_usermode ▼ native_iret ▶ error_entry ▶ do_page_fault ▼ error_exit ▼ retint_user ▶ prepare_exit_to_usermode ▼ native_iret ▶ error_entry ▶ do_page_fault ▼ error_exit ▼ retint_user ▶ prepare_exit_to_usermode ▼ native_iret ▶ error_entry ▶ do_page_fault ▼ error_exit ▼ retint_user ▶ prepare_exit_to_usermode ▶ native_iret After: (showing Call Path column only) Call Path ▶ perf ▼ ls ▼ 12111:12111 ▶ setup_new_exec ▶ __task_pid_nr_ns ▶ perf_event_pid_type ▶ perf_event_comm_output ▶ perf_iterate_ctx ▶ perf_iterate_sb ▶ perf_event_comm ▶ __set_task_comm ▶ load_elf_binary ▶ search_binary_handler ▶ __do_execve_file.isra.41 ▶ __x64_sys_execve ▶ do_syscall_64 ▶ entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe ▶ page_fault ▼ entry_SYSCALL_64 ▼ do_syscall_64 ▶ __x64_sys_brk ▶ __x64_sys_access ▶ __x64_sys_openat ▶ __x64_sys_newfstat ▶ __x64_sys_mmap ▶ __x64_sys_close ▶ __x64_sys_read ▶ __x64_sys_mprotect ▶ __x64_sys_arch_prctl ▶ __x64_sys_munmap ▶ exit_to_usermode_loop ▶ __x64_sys_set_tid_address ▶ __x64_sys_set_robust_list ▶ __x64_sys_rt_sigaction ▶ __x64_sys_rt_sigprocmask ▶ __x64_sys_prlimit64 ▶ __x64_sys_statfs ▶ __x64_sys_ioctl ▶ __x64_sys_getdents64 ▶ __x64_sys_write ▶ __x64_sys_exit_group Committer notes: The first arg to the perf-with-kcore needs to be the same for the 'record' and 'script' lines, otherwise we'll record the perf.data file and kcore_dir/ files in one directory ('example') to then try to use it from the 'bep' directory, fix the instructions above it so that both use 'example'.
