* perf dlfilter: Amend documentation wrt library dependenciesAdrian Hunter2021-08-111-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Like all locally-built programs, dlfilters may need to be re-built if shared libraries they use change. Also there may be unexpected results if the dfilter uses different versions of the shared libraries that perf uses. Note those things in the documentation.

* perf intel-pt: Add a config for max loops without consuming a packetAdrian Hunter2021-07-071-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Intel PT decoder limits the number of unconditional branches (e.g. jmps) decoded without consuming any trace packets. Generally, a loop needs a conditional branch which generates a TNT packet, whereas a "ret" instruction will generate a TIP or TNT packet. So exceeding the limit is assumed to be a never-ending loop, which can happen if there has been a decoding error putting the decoder at the wrong place in the code. Up until now, the limit of 10000 has been enough but some analytic purposes have been reported to exceed that. Increase the limit to 100000, and make it configurable via perf config intel-pt.max-loops. Also amend the "Never-ending loop" message to mention the configuration entry.

* | perf header: Support HYBRID_CPU_PMU_CAPS featureJin Yao2021-05-171-0/+16

But on a hybrid platform, it may have several CPU PMUs (such as "cpu_core" and "cpu_atom"). The CPU_PMU_CAPS feature is hard to extend to support multiple CPU PMUs well if it needs to be compatible for the case of old perf data file + new perf tool. So for better compatibility we now create a new feature HYBRID_CPU_PMU_CAPS in the header. For the perf.data generated on hybrid platform, root@otcpl-adl-s-2:~# perf report --header-only -I # cpu_core pmu capabilities: branches=32, max_precise=3, pmu_name=alderlake_hybrid # cpu_atom pmu capabilities: branches=32, max_precise=3, pmu_name=alderlake_hybrid # missing features: TRACING_DATA BRANCH_STACK GROUP_DESC AUXTRACE STAT CLOCKID DIR_FORMAT COMPRESSED CPU_PMU_CAPS CLOCK_DATA For the perf.data generated on non-hybrid platform root@kbl-ppc:~# perf report --header-only -I # cpu pmu capabilities: branches=32, max_precise=3, pmu_name=skylake # missing features: TRACING_DATA BRANCH_STACK GROUP_DESC AUXTRACE STAT CLOCKID DIR_FORMAT COMPRESSED CLOCK_DATA HYBRID_TOPOLOGY HYBRID_CPU_PMU_CAPS Signed-off-by: Jin Yao <yao.jin@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Cc: Jin Yao <yao.jin@intel.com> Cc: Kan Liang <kan.liang@linux.intel.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210514122948.9472-3-yao.jin@linux.intel.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

* | perf inject: Add --vm-time-correlation optionAdrian Hunter2021-05-121-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Intel PT timestamps are affected by virtualization. Add a new option that will allow the Intel PT decoder to correlate the timestamps and translate the virtual machine timestamps to host timestamps. The advantages of making this a separate step, rather than a part of normal decoding are that it is simpler to implement, and it needs to be done only once. This patch adds only the option. Later patches add Intel PT support.

Patch adds perf tools support to present two of the cycle counter information along with memory latency (weight). Re-use the field 'ins_lat' for storing the first pipeline stage cycle. This is stored in 'var2_w' field of 'perf_sample_weight'. Add a new field 'p_stage_cyc' to store the second pipeline stage cycle which is stored in 'var3_w' field of perf_sample_weight. Add new sort function 'Pipeline Stage Cycle' and include this in default_mem_sort_order[]. This new sort function may be used to denote some other pipeline stage in another architecture.

* perf stat: Introduce 'bperf' to share hardware PMCs with BPFSong Liu2021-03-231-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The perf tool uses performance monitoring counters (PMCs) to monitor system performance. The PMCs are limited hardware resources. For example, Intel CPUs have 3x fixed PMCs and 4x programmable PMCs per cpu. Modern data center systems use these PMCs in many different ways: system level monitoring, (maybe nested) container level monitoring, per process monitoring, profiling (in sample mode), etc. In some cases, there are more active perf_events than available hardware PMCs. To allow all perf_events to have a chance to run, it is necessary to do expensive time multiplexing of events. On the other hand, many monitoring tools count the common metrics (cycles, instructions). It is a waste to have multiple tools create multiple perf_events of "cycles" and occupy multiple PMCs. bperf tries to reduce such wastes by allowing multiple perf_events of "cycles" or "instructions" (at different scopes) to share PMUs. Instead of having each perf-stat session to read its own perf_events, bperf uses BPF programs to read the perf_events and aggregate readings to BPF maps. Then, the perf-stat session(s) reads the values from these BPF maps. Please refer to the comment before the definition of bperf_ops for the description of bperf architecture. bperf is off by default. To enable it, pass --bpf-counters option to perf-stat. bperf uses a BPF hashmap to share information about BPF programs and maps used by bperf. This map is pinned to bpffs. The default path is /sys/fs/bpf/perf_attr_map. The user could change the path with option --bpf-attr-map.
