2011-01-04perf evsel: Introduce per cpu and per thread open helpersArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Abstracting away the loops needed to create the various event fd handlers. The users have to pass a confiruged perf->evsel.attr field, which is already usable after perf_evsel__new (constructor) time, using defaults. Comes out of the ad-hoc routines in builtin-stat, that now uses it.

2010-12-27perf probe: Fix short file name probe location reportingFranck Bui-Huu
After adding probes, perf-probe(1) reports the probes locations which include filenames for certain cases. But for short file names (whose length < 32), perf-probe didn't display the name correctly. It actually skipped the first character. Here's an example where 'icmp.c' was screwed: $ perf probe -n -a "icmp.c;sk=*" Add new events: probe:icmp_push_reply (on @cmp.c) probe:icmp_reply (on @cmp.c) probe:icmp_reply_1 (on @cmp.c) probe:icmp_send (on @cmp.c) probe:icmp_send_1 (on @cmp.c) probe:icmp_error (on @cmp.c) probe:icmp_error_1 (on @cmp.c) probe:icmp_error_2 (on @cmp.c) probe:icmp_error_3 (on @cmp.c) This patch fixes this bug in synthesize_perf_probe_point().

2010-12-22perf symbols: Improve kallsyms symbol end addr calculationArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
For kallsyms we don't have the symbol address end, so we do an extra pass and set the symbol end addr as being the start of the next minus one. But this was being done just after we filtered the symbols of a particular type (functions, variables), so the symbol end was sometimes after what it really is. Fixing up symbol end also was falling apart when we have symbol aliases, then the end address of all but the last alias was being set to be before its start. Fix it up by checking for symbol aliases and making the kallsyms__parse routine use the next symbol, whatever its type, as the limit for the previous symbol, passing that end address to the callback. This was detected by the 'perf test' synthetic paranoid regression tests, fix it up so that even that case doesn't mislead us.

2010-12-21perf session: Fallback to unordered processing if no sample_id_allIan Munsie
If we are running the new perf on an old kernel without support for sample_id_all, we should fall back to the old unordered processing of events. If we didn't than we would *always* process events without timestamps out of order, whether or not we hit a reordering race. In other words, instead of there being a chance of not attributing samples correctly, we would guarantee that samples would not be attributed. While processing all events without timestamps before events with timestamps may seem like an intuitive solution, it falls down as PERF_RECORD_EXIT events would also be processed before any samples. Even with a workaround for that case, samples before/after an exec would not be attributed correctly. This patch allows commands to indicate whether they need to fall back to unordered processing, so that commands that do not care about timestamps on every event will not be affected. If we do fallback, this will print out a warning if report -D was invoked. This patch adds the test in perf_session__new so that we only need to test once per session. Commands that do not use an event_ops (such as record and top) can simply pass NULL in it's place.

2010-12-06perf hist: Better displaying of unresolved DSOs and symbolsIan Munsie
In the event that a DSO has not been identified, just print out [unknown] instead of the instruction pointer as we previously were doing, which is pretty meaningless for a shared object (at least to the users perspective). The IP we print out is fairly meaningless in general anyway - it's just one (the first) of the many addresses that were lumped together as unidentified, and could span many shared objects and symbols. In reality if we see this [unknown] output then the report -D output is going to be more useful anyway as we can see all the different address that it represents. If we are printing the symbols we are still going to see this IP in that column anyway since they shouldn't resolve either. This patch also changes the symbol address printouts so that they print out 0x before the address, are left aligned, and changes the %L format string (which relies on a glibc bug) to %ll.

2010-12-04perf session: Parse sample earlierArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
At perf_session__process_event, so that we reduce the number of lines in eache tool sample processing routine that now receives a sample_data pointer already parsed. This will also be useful in the next patch, where we'll allow sample the identity fields in MMAP, FORK, EXIT, etc, when it will be possible to see (cpu, timestamp) just after before every event. Also validate callchains in perf_session__process_event, i.e. as early as possible, and keep a counter of the number of events discarded due to invalid callchains, warning the user about it if it happens. There is an assumption that was kept that all events have the same sample_type, that will be dealt with in the future, when this preexisting limitation will be removed.

2010-11-30perf tools: fix event parsing of comma-separated tracepoint eventsCorey Ashford
There are number of issues that prevent the use of multiple tracepoint events being specified in a -e/--event switch, separated by commas. For example, perf stat -e irq:irq_handler_entry,irq:irq_handler_exit ... fails because the tracepoint event parsing code doesn't recognize the comma separator properly. This patch corrects those issues.

2010-11-30perf session: Allocate chunks of sample objectsThomas Gleixner

2010-11-30perf session: Keep file mmaped instead of malloc/memcpyThomas Gleixner
Profiling perf with perf revealed that a large part of the processing time is spent in malloc/memcpy/free in the sample ordering code. That code copies the data from the mmap into malloc'ed memory. That's silly. We can keep the mmap and just store the pointer in the queuing data structure. For 64 bit this is not a problem as we map the whole file anyway. On 32bit we keep 8 maps around and unmap the oldest before mmaping the next chunk of the file.

2010-11-30perf symbols: Figure out start address of kernel map from kallsymsMing Lei
On ARM, module symbol start address is ahead of kernel symbol start address, so we can't suppose that the start address of kernel map always is zero, otherwise may cause incorrect .start and .end of kernel map (caused by fixup) when there are modules loaded, then map_groups__find may return incorrect map for symbol query. This patch always figures out the start address of kernel map from /proc/kallsyms if the file is available, so fix the issues on ARM for module loaded case. This patch fixes the following issues on ARM when modules are loaded: - vmlinux symbol can't be found by kallsyms maps doing 'perf test' - module symbols are parsed mistakenlly when doing 'perf top'/'perf report' Cc: Ian Munsie <imunsie@au1.ibm.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Tom Zanussi <tzanussi@gmail.com> LKML-Reference: <20101125192725.62d31b42@tom-lei> Signed-off-by: Ming Lei <tom.leiming@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
