#1219995 — [PATCHv2 0/5] perf tools: Enhance parsing events tracepoint error output

FromJiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org>
Date2015-09-07 10:40 +0200
Subject[PATCHv2 0/5] perf tools: Enhance parsing events tracepoint error output
Message-ID<q6082-ic-11@gated-at.bofh.it>
hi,
enhancing parsing events tracepoint error output. Adding
more verbose output when the tracepoint is not found or
the tracing event path cannot be access.

  $ sudo perf record -e sched:sched_krava ls
  event syntax error: 'sched:sched_krava'
                       \___ unknown tracepoint

  Error:  File /sys/kernel/debug/tracing//tracing/events/sched/sched_krava not found.
  Hint:   Perhaps this kernel misses some CONFIG_ setting to enable this feature?.

  Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events
  ...

  $ perf record -e sched:sched_krava ls
  event syntax error: 'sched:sched_krava'
                       \___ can't access trace events

  Error:  No permissions to read /sys/kernel/debug/tracing//tracing/events/sched/sched_krava
  Hint:   Try 'sudo mount -o remount,mode=755 /sys/kernel/debug'

  Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events
  ...

v2 changes:
  - debugfs/tracefs changes went already in through separate patchset
  - more commentary on err.h interface
  - fixed callers of err.h enhanced functions
  - added extra tags/cscope fix

Also available in:
  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jolsa/perf.git
  perf/tp


thanks,
jirka

#1219996 — [PATCH 1/5] tools: Add err.h with ERR_PTR PTR_ERR interface

FromJiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org>
Date2015-09-07 10:40 +0200
Subject[PATCH 1/5] tools: Add err.h with ERR_PTR PTR_ERR interface
Message-ID<q6082-ic-17@gated-at.bofh.it>
In reply to#1219995
Adding part of the kernel's <linux/err.h> interface:
  inline void * __must_check ERR_PTR(long error);
  inline long   __must_check PTR_ERR(__force const void *ptr);
  inline bool   __must_check IS_ERR(__force const void *ptr);

it will be used to propagate error through pointers
in following patches.

Perhaps a dumb question, but it seems the code is exactly the same as
in linux/err.h besides the part of the comment you added. Why not
using that file directly in the other patches then?

We can't do that.

Read:

commit 3f735377bfd6567d80815a6242c147211963680a
Author: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
Date:   Sun Jul 5 22:48:21 2015 -0300

    tools: Copy lib/rbtree.c to tools/lib/
    
    So that we can remove kernel specific stuff we've been stubbing out via
    a tools/include/linux/export.h that gets removed in this patch and to
    avoid breakages in the future like the one fixed recently where
    rcupdate.h started being used in rbtree.h.


--------------------------

There are more copies like that, but the explanation above should be
enough, no?

tools: Add err.h with ERR_PTR PTR_ERR interface

Adding part of the kernel's <linux/err.h> interface:

  inline void * __must_check ERR_PTR(long error);
  inline long   __must_check PTR_ERR(__force const void *ptr);
  inline bool   __must_check IS_ERR(__force const void *ptr);

It will be used to propagate error through pointers in following
patches.

Pass 'struct parse_events_error *error' to the parse-event.c
tracepoint adding path. It will be filled with error data
in following patches.

Works for me.

I also made sure I could compile and run perf with that patch applied
on top of the current linux master. Should I also propose my
Tested-by: tag? I didn't do thorough tests though.

I always base my changes over Arnaldo's perf/core,
which gets eventually merged to Ingo's tip tree and
then the Linus'es tree.. it should be enough to test
it over my branch

#1219999 — [PATCH 4/5] perf tools: Propagate error info from tp_format

FromJiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org>
Date2015-09-07 10:40 +0200
Subject[PATCH 4/5] perf tools: Propagate error info from tp_format
Message-ID<q6082-ic-21@gated-at.bofh.it>
In reply to#1219995
Propagate error info from tp_format via ERR_PTR to get
it all the way down to the parse-event.c tracepoint adding
routines. Following functions now return pointer with
encoded error:
  - tp_format
  - trace_event__tp_format
  - perf_evsel__newtp_idx
  - perf_evsel__newtp

This affects several other places in perf, that cannot use
pointer check anymore, but must utilize the err.h interface,
when getting error information from above functions list.

Right, so this is tricky and we must be careful, see below...

This kind of stuff is ok, as evsel is a local variable and you kept the
interface for perf_evsel__syscall_newtp(), i.e. it returns NULL if a new
evsel can't be instantiated.

Ok, but that is a different interface than the one used by
perf_evsel__newtp(), that also instantiates a new evsel.

So when one thinks about "foo__new()" we now need to check which one of
the two interfaces it uses, if err.h or if the old NULL based failure
reporting one.

Double tricky if it is foo__new() and foo__new_variant(), as
perf_evsel__syscall_newtp() and perf_evsel__newtp(), i.e. both will
return a "struct perf_evsel" instance, but one using err.h, the other
use NULL.

Ok, you marked the ones using a comment, wonder if we couldn't use
'sparse' somehow here, is it used to check IS_ERR() usage in the kernel?

Ah, but what about this in trace__event_handler() in builtin-trace.c?
 
        if (evsel->tp_format) {
                event_format__fprintf(evsel->tp_format, sample->cpu,
                                      sample->raw_data, sample->raw_size,
                                      trace->output);
        }


Don't we have to use IS_ERR() here? Ok, no, because if setting up
evsel->tp_format fails, then that evsel will be destroyed and
perf_evsel__newtp() will return ERR_PTR(), so it is ok not no use
ERR_PTR(evsel->tp_format) because it will only be != NULL when it was
successfully set up.

But then, in perf_evsel__newtp_idx if zalloc() fails we will not return
ERR_PTR(), but instead NULL, a-ha, this one seems to be a real bug, no?

hum, not sure.. will check ;-)

at least we could mark related functions with __must_check
to force the return value check

hate those allocations in declarations.. never do any good ;-)

yep, NULL is not an error, so it's real bug, attached patch should fix it

Right, that helps a bit, but not when the test _is already there_,
against NULL.

That is why I thought about sparse, if it was used in the kernel somehow
to check for this, guess either it would notice ERR_PTR using routines
and then auto-mark them for checking if they are being tested using
IS_ERR() or plain NULL, will check, later...
