tools/perf: Update call stack check in builtin-lock.c

[ Upstream commit d7c9ae8d5d1be0c4156d1e20e4369a77b711a4cc ]

The perf test named "kernel lock contention analysis test"
fails in powerpc system with below error:

[command]# ./perf test 81 -vv
81: kernel lock contention analysis test :
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 2140

kernel lock contention analysis test: FAILED!

The test is failing because we get an address entry with 0 in
perf lock samples for powerpc, and code for lock contention
option "--callstack-filter" will not check further entries after
address 0.

Below are some of the samples from test generated perf.data file, which
have 0 address in the 2nd entry of callstack:

--------

Based on commit 20002ded4d93 ("perf_counter: powerpc: Add callchain support"),
incase of powerpc, the callchain saved by kernel always includes first
three entries as the NIP (next instruction pointer), LR (link register), and
the contents of LR save area in the second stack frame. In certain scenarios
its possible to have invalid kernel instruction addresses in either of LR or the
second stack frame's LR. In that case, kernel will store the address as zer0.
Hence, its possible to have 2nd or 3rd callstack entry as 0.

As per the current code in match_callstack_filter function, we skip the callstack
check incase we get 0 address. And hence the test case is failing in powerpc.

Fix this issue by updating the check in match_callstack_filter function,
to not skip callstack check if the 2nd or 3rd entry have 0 address
for powerpc.

Result in powerpc after patch changes:

perf lock: Don't pass an ERR_PTR() directly to perf_session__delete()

While debugging a segfault on 'perf lock contention' without an

perf_session__delete(ERR_PTR(-1))

Resulting in:

So just set it to NULL after using PTR_ERR(session) to decode the error
as perf_session__delete(NULL) is supported.

perf callchain: Use pthread keys for tls callchain_cursor

Pthread keys are more portable than __thread and allow the association
of a destructor with the key. Use the destructor to clean up TLS
callchain cursors to aid understanding memory leaks.

Committer notes:

Had to fixup a series of unconverted places and also check for the
return of get_tls_callchain_cursor() as it may fail and return NULL.

In that unlikely case we now either print something to a file, if the
caller was expecting to print a callchain, or return an error code to
state that resolving the callchain isn't possible.

In some cases this was made easier because thread__resolve_callchain()
already can fail for other reasons, so this new one (cursor == NULL) can
be added and the callers don't have to explicitely check for this new
condition.

Revert "perf build: Make BUILD_BPF_SKEL default, rename to NO_BPF_SKEL"

This reverts commit a980755beb5aca9002e1c95ba519b83a44242b5b.

We need to better polish building with BPF skels, so revert back to
making it an experimental feature that has to be explicitely enabled
using BUILD_BPF_SKEL=1.

perf map: Add helper for ->map_ip() and ->unmap_ip()

Later changes will add reference count checking for struct map, add a
helper function to invoke the map_ip and unmap_ip function pointers. The
helper allows the reference count check to be in fewer places.

perf lock contention: Revise needs_callstack() condition

perf lock contention: Revise needs_callstack() condition

It needs callstacks for two reasons:

* for stack aggregation mode, the map key is the stack id and it can
also show the full stack traces when -v is used

* for other aggregation modes, the stack filter can be used to limit
lock contentions from known call paths

The -v option is meaningful (in terms of stack trace) only for stack
aggregation mode, so it should not set the save_callstack for other
mode like with -t or -l options.

I've noticed this with the following command line:

$ sudo ./perf lock con -ablv -E 3 -M 16 -- ./perf bench sched messaging

perf lock contention: Track and show mmap_lock with address

Sometimes there are severe contentions on the mmap_lock and we want

the mmap_lock because it's allocated dynamically without symbols.

Stephane and Hao gave me an idea separately to display mmap_lock by
following the current->mm pointer. I added a flag to mark mmap_lock
after comparing the lock address so that it can show them differently.
With this change it can show mmap_lock like below:

perf build: Make BUILD_BPF_SKEL default, rename to NO_BPF_SKEL

BPF skeleton support is now key to a number of perf features. Rather
than making it so that BPF support must be enabled for the build, make
this the default and error if the build lacks a clang and libbpf that
are sufficient. To avoid the error and build without BPF skeletons the
NO_BPF_SKEL=1 flag can be used. Add a build-options flag to 'perf
version' to enable detection of the BPF skeleton support and use this
in the offcpu shell test.

to know who caused the contention, IOW who's the owner of the locks.

The -o/--lock-owner option tries to follow the lock owners for the
contended mutexes and rwsems from BPF, and then attributes the
contention time to the owner instead of the waiter. It's a best effort
approach to get the owner info at the time of the contention and doesn't
guarantee to have the precise tracking of owners if it's changing over
time.

Currently it only handles mutex and rwsem that have owner field in their
struct and it basically points to a task_struct that owns the lock at
the moment.

Technically its type is atomic_long_t and it comes with some LSB bits
used for other meanings. So it needs to clear them when casting it to a
pointer to task_struct.

Also the atomic_long_t is a typedef of the atomic 32 or 64 bit types
depending on arch which is a wrapper struct for the counter value. I'm
not aware of proper ways to access those kernel atomic types from BPF so
I just read the internal counter value directly. Please let me know if
there's a better way.

When -o/--lock-owner option is used, it goes to the task aggregation
mode like -t/--threads option does. However it cannot get the owner for
other lock types like spinlock and sometimes even for mutex.

$ sudo ./perf lock con -abo -- ./perf bench sched pipe
# Running 'sched/pipe' benchmark:
# Executed 1000000 pipe operations between two processes

As you can see, the owner is unknown for the most cases. But if we
filter only for the mutex locks, it'd more likely get the onwers.

perf lock contention: Fix to save callstack for the default modified

The previous change missed to set the con->save_callstack for the
LOCK_AGGR_CALLER mode resulting in no caller information.
