2013-04-01perf tools: Add support for weight v7 (modified)Andi Kleen
perf record has a new option -W that enables weightened sampling. Add sorting support in top/report for the average weight per sample and the total weight sum. This allows to both compare relative cost per event and the total cost over the measurement period. Add the necessary glue to perf report, record and the library. v2: Merge with new hist refactoring. v3: Fix manpage. Remove value check. Rename global_weight to weight and weight to local_weight. v4: Readd sort keys to manpage v5: Move weight to end v6: Move weight to template v7: Rename weight key. Original patch from Andi modified by Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> to include ONLY the weight supporting code and apply to pristine 3.8.0-rc4.

2013-02-06perf evlist: Make event_copy local to mmapsDavid Ahern
I am getting segfaults *after* the time sorting of perf samples where the event type is off the charts: (gdb) bt \#0 0x0807b1b2 in hists__inc_nr_events (hists=0x80a99c4, type=1163281902) at util/hist.c:1225 \#1 0x08070795 in perf_session_deliver_event (session=0x80a9b90, event=0xf7a6aff8, sample=0xffffc318, tool=0xffffc520, file_offset=0) at util/session.c:884 \#2 0x0806f9b9 in flush_sample_queue (s=0x80a9b90, tool=0xffffc520) at util/session.c:555 \#3 0x0806fc53 in process_finished_round (tool=0xffffc520, event=0x0, session=0x80a9b90) at util/session.c:645 This is bizarre because the event has already been processed once -- before it was added to the samples queue -- and the event was found to be sane at that time. There seem to be 2 causes: 1. perf_evlist__mmap_read updates the read location even though there are outstanding references to events sitting in the mmap buffers via the ordered samples queue. 2. There is a single evlist->event_copy for all evlist entries. event_copy is used to handle an event wrapping at the mmap buffer boundary. This patch addresses the second problem - making event_copy local to each perf_mmap. With this change my highly repeatable use case no longer fails. The first problem is much more complicated and will be the subject of a future patch.

2012-11-19perf: Make perf build for x86 with UAPI disintegration appliedDavid Howells
Make perf build for x86 once the UAPI disintegration patches for that arch have been applied by adding the appropriate -I flags - in the right order - and then converting some #includes that use ../.. notation to find main kernel headerfiles to use <asm/foo.h> and <linux/foo.h> instead. Note that -Iarch/foo/include/uapi is present _before_ -Iarch/foo/include. This makes sure we get the userspace version of the pt_regs struct. Ideally, we wouldn't have the latter -I flag at all, but unfortunately we want asm/svm.h and asm/vmx.h in builtin-kvm.c and these aren't part of the UAPI - at least not for x86. I wonder if the bits outside of the __KERNEL__ guards *should* be transferred there. I note also that perf seems to do its dependency handling manually by listing all the header files it might want to use in LIB_H in the Makefile. Can this be changed to use -MD? Note that to do make this work, we need to export and UAPI disintegrate linux/hw_breakpoint.h, which I think should've been exported previously so that perf can access the bits. We have to do this in the same patch to maintain bisectability. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

Currently many perf commands annotate/evlist/report/script/lock etc all support "-i" option to chose a specific perf data, and all of them create a local "input_name" to save the file name for that perf data. Since most of these commands need it, we can add a global variable for it, also it can some other benefits: 1. When calling script browser inside hists/annotation browser, it needs to know the perf data file name to run that script. 2.

The size specifies the size of the user stack dump. If omitted it is 8192 by default. If libunwind is found during the perf build, then the 'dwarf' argument becomes available for record command. The 'fp' stays as default option in any case. Examples: (perf compiled with libunwind) perf record -g dwarf ls - provides dwarf unwind with 8192 as stack dump size perf record -g dwarf,4096 ls - provides dwarf unwind with 4096 as stack dump size perf record -g -- ls perf record -g fp ls - provides frame pointer unwind Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Original-patch-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: "Frank Ch.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull perf events changes for v3.4 from Ingo Molnar: - New "hardware based branch profiling" feature both on the kernel and the tooling side, on CPUs that support it. (modern x86 Intel CPUs with the 'LBR' hardware feature currently.) This new feature is basically a sophisticated 'magnifying glass' for branch execution - something that is pretty difficult to extract from regular, function histogram centric profiles. The simplest mode is activated via 'perf record -b', and the result looks like this in perf report: $ perf record -b any_call,u -e cycles:u branchy $ perf report -b --sort=symbol 52.34% [.] main [.] f1 24.04% [.] f1 [.] f3 23.60% [.] f1 [.] f2 0.01% [k] _IO_new_file_xsputn [k] _IO_file_overflow 0.01% [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal [k] _IO_new_file_xsputn 0.01% [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal [k] strchrnul 0.01% [k] __printf [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal 0.01% [k] main [k] __printf This output shows from/to branch columns and shows the highest percentage (from,to) jump combinations - i.e. the most likely taken branches in the system. "branches" can also include function calls and any other synchronous and asynchronous transitions of the instruction pointer that are not 'next instruction' - such as system calls, traps, interrupts, etc. This feature comes with (hopefully intuitive) flat ascii and TUI support in perf report. - Various 'perf annotate' visual improvements for us assembly junkies. It will now recognize function calls in the TUI and by hitting enter you can follow the call (recursively) and back, amongst other improvements. - Multiple threads/processes recording support in perf record, perf stat, perf top - which is activated via a comma-list of PIDs: perf top -p 21483,21485 perf stat -p 21483,21485 -ddd perf record -p 21483,21485 - Support for per UID views, via the --uid paramter to perf top, perf report, etc. For example 'perf top --uid mingo' will only show the tasks that I am running, excluding other users, root, etc. - Jump label restructurings and improvements - this includes the factoring out of the (hopefully much clearer) include/linux/static_key.h generic facility: struct static_key key = STATIC_KEY_INIT_FALSE; ... if (static_key_false(&key)) do unlikely code else do likely code ... static_key_slow_inc(); ... static_key_slow_inc(); ... The static_key_false() branch will be generated into the code with as little impact to the likely code path as possible. the static_key_slow_*() APIs flip the branch via live kernel code patching. This facility can now be used more widely within the kernel to micro-optimize hot branches whose likelihood matches the static-key usage and fast/slow cost patterns. - SW function tracer improvements: perf support and filtering support. - Various hardenings of the perf.data ABI, to make older perf.data's smoother on newer tool versions, to make new features integrate more smoothly, to support cross-endian recording/analyzing workflows better, etc. - Restructuring of the kprobes code, the splitting out of 'optprobes', and a corner case bugfix. - Allow the tracing of kernel console output (printk). - Improvements/fixes to user-space RDPMC support, allowing user-space self-profiling code to extract PMU counts without performing any system calls, while playing nice with the kernel side. - 'perf bench' improvements - ... and lots of internal restructurings, cleanups and fixes that made these features possible.

2012-03-14perf tools, x86: Build perf on older user-space as wellIngo Molnar
On ancient systems I get this build failure: util/../../../arch/x86/include/asm/unistd.h:67:29: error: asm/unistd_64.h: No such file or directory In file included from util/cache.h:7, from builtin-test.c:8: util/../perf.h: In function ‘sys_perf_event_open’:In file included from util/../perf.h:16 perf.h:170: error: ‘__NR_perf_event_open’ undeclared (first use in this function) The reason is that this old system does not have the split unistd.h headers yet, from which to pick up the syscall definitions. Add the syscall numbers to the already existing i386 and x86_64 blocks in perf.h, and also provide empty include file stubs. With this patch perf builds and works fine on 5 years old user-space as well.

2011-12-20perf record: Add ability to record event periodAndrew Vagin
The problem is that when SAMPLE_PERIOD is not set, the kernel generates a number of samples in proportion to an event's period. Number of these samples may be too big and the kernel throttles all samples above a defined limit. E.g.: I want to trace when a process sleeps. I created a process which sleeps for 1ms and for 4ms. perf got 100 events in both cases. swapper 0 [000] 1141.371830: sched_stat_sleep: comm=foo pid=1801 delay=1386750 [ns] swapper 0 [000] 1141.369444: sched_stat_sleep: comm=foo pid=1801 delay=4499585 [ns] In the first case a kernel want to send 4499585 events and in the second case it wants to send 1386750 events. perf-reports shows that process sleeps in both places equal time. Instead of this we can get only one sample with an attribute period. As result we have less data transferring between kernel and user-space and we avoid throttling of samples. The patch "events: Don't divide events if it has field period" added a kernel part of this functionality.

2011-10-07perf tools: Make perf.data more self-descriptive (v8)Stephane Eranian
The goal of this patch is to include more information about the host environment into the perf.data so it is more self-descriptive. Overtime, profiles are captured on various machines and it becomes hard to track what was recorded, on what machine and when. This patch provides a way to solve this by extending the perf.data file with basic information about the host machine. To add those extensions, we leverage the feature bits capabilities of the perf.data format. The change is backward compatible with existing perf.data files. We define the following useful new extensions: - HEADER_HOSTNAME: the hostname - HEADER_OSRELEASE: the kernel release number - HEADER_ARCH: the hw architecture - HEADER_CPUDESC: generic CPU description - HEADER_NRCPUS: number of online/avail cpus - HEADER_CMDLINE: perf command line - HEADER_VERSION: perf version - HEADER_TOPOLOGY: cpu topology - HEADER_EVENT_DESC: full event description (attrs) - HEADER_CPUID: easy-to-parse low level CPU identication The small granularity for the entries is to make it easier to extend without breaking backward compatiblity. Many entries are provided as ASCII strings. Perf report/script have been modified to print the basic information as easy-to-parse ASCII strings. Extended information about CPU and NUMA topology may be requested with the -I option. Thanks to David Ahern for reviewing and testing the many versions of this patch. $ perf report --stdio # ======== # captured on : Mon Sep 26 15:22:14 2011 # hostname : quad # os release : 3.1.0-rc4-tip # perf version : 3.1.0-rc4 # arch : x86_64 # nrcpus online : 4 # nrcpus avail : 4 # cpudesc : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz # cpuid : GenuineIntel,6,15,11 # total memory : 8105360 kB # cmdline : /home/eranian/perfmon/official/tip/build/tools/perf/perf record date # event : name = cycles, type = 0, config = 0x0, config1 = 0x0, config2 = 0x0, excl_usr = 0, excl_kern = 0, id = { 29, 30, 31, # HEADER_CPU_TOPOLOGY info available, use -I to display # HEADER_NUMA_TOPOLOGY info available, use -I to display # ======== # ... $ perf report --stdio -I # ======== # captured on : Mon Sep 26 15:22:14 2011 # hostname : quad # os release : 3.1.0-rc4-tip # perf version : 3.1.0-rc4 # arch : x86_64 # nrcpus online : 4 # nrcpus avail : 4 # cpudesc : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz # cpuid : GenuineIntel,6,15,11 # total memory : 8105360 kB # cmdline : /home/eranian/perfmon/official/tip/build/tools/perf/perf record date # event : name = cycles, type = 0, config = 0x0, config1 = 0x0, config2 = 0x0, excl_usr = 0, excl_kern = 0, id = { 29, 30, 31, # sibling cores : 0-3 # sibling threads : 0 # sibling threads : 1 # sibling threads : 2 # sibling threads : 3 # node0 meminfo : total = 8320608 kB, free = 7571024 kB # node0 cpu list : 0-3 # ======== # ...
