From: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@c-s.fr>
[ Upstream commit 21b8732eb4479b579bda9ee38e62b2c312c2a0e5 ]
After update of kernel, the perf tool doesn't run anymore on my 32MB RAM powerpc board, but still runs on a 128MB RAM board:
~# strace perf execve("/usr/sbin/perf", ["perf"], [/* 12 vars */]) = -1 ENOMEM (Cannot allocate memory) --- SIGSEGV {si_signo=SIGSEGV, si_code=SI_KERNEL, si_addr=0} --- +++ killed by SIGSEGV +++ Segmentation fault
objdump -x shows that .bss section has a huge size of 24Mbytes:
27 .bss 016baca8 101cebb8 101cebb8 001cd988 2**3
With especially the following objects having quite big size:
10205f80 l O .bss 00140000 runtime_cycles_stats 10345f80 l O .bss 00140000 runtime_stalled_cycles_front_stats 10485f80 l O .bss 00140000 runtime_stalled_cycles_back_stats 105c5f80 l O .bss 00140000 runtime_branches_stats 10705f80 l O .bss 00140000 runtime_cacherefs_stats 10845f80 l O .bss 00140000 runtime_l1_dcache_stats 10985f80 l O .bss 00140000 runtime_l1_icache_stats 10ac5f80 l O .bss 00140000 runtime_ll_cache_stats 10c05f80 l O .bss 00140000 runtime_itlb_cache_stats 10d45f80 l O .bss 00140000 runtime_dtlb_cache_stats 10e85f80 l O .bss 00140000 runtime_cycles_in_tx_stats 10fc5f80 l O .bss 00140000 runtime_transaction_stats 11105f80 l O .bss 00140000 runtime_elision_stats 11245f80 l O .bss 00140000 runtime_topdown_total_slots 11385f80 l O .bss 00140000 runtime_topdown_slots_retired 114c5f80 l O .bss 00140000 runtime_topdown_slots_issued 11605f80 l O .bss 00140000 runtime_topdown_fetch_bubbles 11745f80 l O .bss 00140000 runtime_topdown_recovery_bubbles
This is due to commit 4d255766d28b1 ("perf: Bump max number of cpus to 1024"), because many tables are sized with MAX_NR_CPUS
This patch gives the opportunity to redefine MAX_NR_CPUS via
$ make EXTRA_CFLAGS=-DMAX_NR_CPUS=1
