commit cb7987837c31b217b28089bbc78922d5c9187869 upstream. When adding support for power events, some handling of FUP packets was unified. That resulted in breaking reporting of TSX aborts, by not considering the associated TIP packet. Fix that. Example: A machine that supports TSX is required. It will have flag "rtm". Kernel parameter tsx=on may be required. # for w in `cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -m1 flags `;do echo $w | grep rtm ; done rtm Test program: #include <stdio.h> #include <immintrin.h> int main() { int x = 0; if (_xbegin() == _XBEGIN_STARTED) { x = 1; _xabort(1); } else { printf("x = %d\n", x); } return 0; } Compile with -mrtm i.e. gcc -Wall -Wextra -mrtm xabort.c -o xabort Record: perf record -e intel_pt/cyc/u --filter 'filter main @ ./xabort' ./xabort Before: # perf script --itrace=be -F+flags,+addr,-period,-event --ns xabort 1478 [007] 92161.431348552: tr strt 0 [unknown] ([unknown]) => 400b6d main+0x0 (/root/xabort) xabort 1478 [007] 92161.431348624: jmp 400b96 main+0x29 (/root/xabort) => 400bae main+0x41 (/root/xabort) xabort 1478 [007] 92161.431348624: return 400bb4 main+0x47 (/root/xabort) => 400b87 main+0x1a (/root/xabort) xabort 1478 [007] 92161.431348637: jcc 400b8a main+0x1d (/root/xabort) => 400b98 main+0x2b (/root/xabort) xabort 1478 [007] 92161.431348644: tr end call 400ba9 main+0x3c (/root/xabort) => 40f690 printf+0x0 (/root/xabort) xabort 1478 [007] 92161.431360859: tr strt 0 [unknown] ([unknown]) => 400bae main+0x41 (/root/xabort) xabort 1478 [007] 92161.431360882: tr end return 400bb4 main+0x47 (/root/xabort) => 401139 __libc_start_main+0x309 (/root/xabort) After: # perf script --itrace=be -F+flags,+addr,-period,-event --ns xabort 1478 [007] 92161.431348552: tr strt 0 [unknown] ([unknown]) => 400b6d main+0x0 (/root/xabort) xabort 1478 [007] 92161.431348624: tx abrt 400b93 main+0x26 (/root/xabort) => 400b87 main+0x1a (/root/xabort) xabort 1478 [007] 92161.431348637: jcc 400b8a main+0x1d (/root/xabort) => 400b98 main+0x2b (/root/xabort) xabort 1478 [007] 92161.431348644: tr end call 400ba9 main+0x3c (/root/xabort) => 40f690 printf+0x0 (/root/xabort) xabort 1478 [007] 92161.431360859: tr strt 0 [unknown] ([unknown]) => 400bae main+0x41 (/root/xabort) xabort 1478 [007] 92161.431360882: tr end return 400bb4 main+0x47 (/root/xabort) => 401139 __libc_start_main+0x309 (/root/xabort) Fixes: a472e65fc490a ("perf intel-pt: Add decoder support for ptwrite and power event packets") Signed-off-by: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Link: http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210519074515.9262-2-adrian.hunter@intel.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
