| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The attr.branch_sample_type field is defined as u64 by the API. As such, we need to ensure the variable holding the value of the branch stack filters is also u64 otherwise we may lose bits in the future. Note also that the bogus definition of the field in perf_record_opts caused problems on big-endian PPC systems. Thanks to Anshuman Khandual for tracking the problem on PPC.

| * perf tools: Reconstruct event with modifiers from perf_event_attrArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2012-05-253-16/+104

Fix it by following the defaults used for these modifiers in the current codebase, so: $ perf record -e instructions:u usleep 1 2> /dev/null $ perf evlist instructions:u $ perf record -e cycles:k usleep 1 2> /dev/null $ perf evlist cycles:k $ perf record -e cycles:kh usleep 1 2> /dev/null $ perf evlist cycles:kh $ perf record -e cache-misses:G usleep 1 2> /dev/null $ perf evlist cache-misses:G $ perf record -e cycles:ppk usleep 1 2> /dev/null $ perf evlist cycles:kpp $ Also works with 'top', 'report', etc. More work needed to cover tracepoints and software events while not dragging lots of baggage to the python binding, this is a minimal fix for v3.5.

| * perf top: Fix counter name fixup when fallbacking to cpu-clockArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2012-05-251-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In 40491eaa "perf top: Update event name when falling back to cpu-clock" we freed counter->name but didn't reset it to NULL, then when setting it to the result of event_name(), event_name() would use the cached value, which by now was overwritten and thus we got garbage or a zero lenght string. Fix it by just freeing and setting counter->name to NULL, this way event_name() when called afterwards, will find the right counter name and cache it again. Found while trying 'cycles:pp' on a machine were :pp couldn't be honoured. Probably the best fallback here is to tell the user that that level of precision is not available on the PMU and then go removing 'p', levels of precision till we get to play 'cycles' and if even that fails, _then_ get to 'cpu-clock'. But that is the matter for another patch, this one just needs to fix the caching issue, which in the end will show 'cpu-clock' when tools ask for the event name being used, which clarifies things for the user, that will see that 'cycles:pp' or whatever not support event is not being used, some sort of fallback happened.

This version is much rewritten, reviews from PeterZ, Oleg and myself shaped the end result. This tree includes uprobes support in 'perf probe' - but SystemTap (and other tools) can take advantage of user probe points as well. Sample usage of uprobes via perf, for example to profile malloc() calls without modifying user-space binaries. First boot a new kernel with CONFIG_UPROBE_EVENT=y enabled. If you don't know which function you want to probe you can pick one from 'perf top' or can get a list all functions that can be probed within libc (binaries can be specified as well): $ perf probe -F -x /lib/libc.so.6 To probe libc's malloc(): $ perf probe -x /lib64/libc.so.6 malloc Added new event: probe_libc:malloc (on 0x7eac0) You can now use it in all perf tools, such as: perf record -e probe_libc:malloc -aR sleep 1 Make use of it to create a call graph (as the flat profile is going to look very boring): $ perf record -e probe_libc:malloc -gR make [ perf record: Woken up 173 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 44.190 MB perf.data (~1930712 $ perf report | less 32.03% git libc-2.15.so [.] malloc | --- malloc 29.49% cc1 libc-2.15.so [.] malloc | --- malloc | |--0.95%-- 0x208eb1000000000 | |--0.63%-- htab_traverse_noresize 11.04% as libc-2.15.so [.] malloc | --- malloc | 7.15% ld libc-2.15.so [.] malloc | --- malloc | 5.07% sh libc-2.15.so [.] malloc | --- malloc | 4.99% python-config libc-2.15.so [.] malloc | --- malloc | 4.54% make libc-2.15.so [.] malloc | --- malloc | |--7.34%-- glob | | | |--93.18%-- 0x41588f | | | --6.82%-- glob | 0x41588f ...

The core uprobes design is fairly straightforward: uprobes probe points register themselves at (inode:offset) addresses of libraries/binaries, after which all existing (or new) vmas that map that address will have a software breakpoint injected at that address. vmas are COW-ed to preserve original content. The probe points are kept in an rbtree. If user-space executes the probed inode:offset instruction address then an event is generated which can be recovered from the regular perf event channels and mmap-ed ring-buffer. Multiple probes at the same address are supported, they create a dynamic callback list of event consumers. The basic model is further complicated by the XOL speedup: the original instruction that is probed is copied (in an architecture specific fashion) and executed out of line when the probe triggers. The XOL area is a single vma per process, with a fixed number of entries (which limits probe execution parallelism). The API: uprobes are installed/removed via /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events, the API is integrated to align with the kprobes interface as much as possible, but is separate to it. Injecting a probe point is privileged operation, which can be relaxed by setting perf_paranoid to -1. You can use multiple probes as well and mix them with kprobes and regular PMU events or tracepoints, when instrumenting a task."

* | perf buildid-list: Work better with pipe modeStephane Eranian2012-05-222-1/+7

The buildid for the kernel is provided by a BUILD_ID record. The [kernel.kallsyms] is provided by a MMAP record. There is no clean and obvious way to link the two, unfortunately. In regular mode, the kernel buildid is generated from reading the ELF image or kallsyms and perf knows to associate [kernel.kallsyms] to it. Later on, when perf processes the [kernel.kallsyms] MMAP record, it will already have a dso for it. So for now, make sure perf buildid-list shows the buildids for everything but the kernel image.

* | perf tools: Fix piped mode read codeStephane Eranian2012-05-221-8/+26

In general, perf is supposed to skip records it does not understand, but in pipe mode, those have to be read and ignored. The fixed size header contains the size of the record, but that size may be larger than union perf_event, yet it was used as the backing to the read in: union perf_event event; void *p; size = event->header.size; p = &event; p += sizeof(struct perf_event_header); if (size - sizeof(struct perf_event_header)) { err = readn(self->fd, p, size - sizeof(struct perf_event_header)); We fix this by allocating a buffer based on the size reported in the header. We reuse the buffer as much as we can. We realloc in case it becomes too small. In the common case, the performance impact is negligible.

* | perf inject: Fix broken perf inject -bStephane Eranian2012-05-221-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | perf inject -b was broken. It would not inject any build_id into the stream. Furthermore, it would strip samples from the stream. The reason was a missing initialization of the event attribute structure. The perf_tool.tool.attr() callback was pointing to a simple repipe. But there was no initialization of the internal data structures to keep track of events and event ids. That later caused event id lookups to fail, and sample would get removed. The patch simply adds back the call to perf_event__process_attr() to initialize the evlist structure and now build_ids are again injected.

The bitfield flags need to be transformed as well, since the bitfield binary storage differs for both endians. ABI says: Bit-fields are allocated from right to left (least to most significant) on little-endian implementations and from left to right (most to least significant) on big-endian implementations. The above seems to be byte specific, so we need to reverse each byte of the bitfield. 'Internet' also says this might be implementation specific and we probably need proper fix and carry perf_event_attr bitfield flags in separate data file FEAT_ section. Thought this seems to work for now. Note, running following to test perf endianity handling: test 1) - origin system: # perf record -a -- sleep 10 (any perf record will do) # perf report > report.origin # perf archive perf.data - copy the perf.data, report.origin and perf.data.tar.bz2 to a target system and run: # tar xjvf perf.data.tar.bz2 -C ~/.debug # perf report > report.target # diff -u report.origin report.target - the diff should produce no output (besides some white space stuff and possibly different date/TZ output) test 2) - origin system: # perf record -ag -fo /tmp/perf.data -- sleep 1 - mount origin system root to the target system on /mnt/origin - target system: # perf script --symfs /mnt/origin -I -i /mnt/origin/tmp/perf.data \ --kallsyms /mnt/origin/proc/kallsyms - complete perf.data header is displayed Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Tested-by: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Corey Ashford <cjashfor@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1337151548-2396-3-git-send-email-jolsa@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

The trace-cmd libtraceevent.a code is much more mature than what is currently in perf. This updates the code to use wrappers to handle the calls to the new event parsing code. The new code requires a handle to be pass around, which removes the global event variables and allows more than one event structure to be read from different files (and different machines). But perf still has the old global events and the code throughout perf does not yet have a nice way to pass around a handle. A global 'pevent' has been made for perf and the old calls have been created as wrappers to the new event parsing code that uses the global pevent. With this change, perf can later incorporate the pevent handle into the perf structures and allow more than one file to be read and compared, that contains different events.

The new file will be called trace-parse-events.c, as the name of trace-cmd's file was parse-events.c too, but it conflicted with the parse-events.c file in perf that parses the command line. This tries to update the code with mimimal changes. Perf specific code stays in the trace-event-parse.[ch] files and the common parsing code is now in trace-parse-events.c and trace-parse-events.h.

This setting was dropped by 0f82ebc. Now perf events are once again generated during perf's initialization phase (e.g., generating maps). As an example, perf opens a lot of files at startup. Unpatched: perf record -e syscalls:sys_enter_open -ga -fo /tmp/perf.data -- sleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.087 MB /tmp/perf.data (~3798 samples) ] Using perf-script to look at the samples shows the perf command generating 563 of the 566 total events. Patched: perf record -e syscalls:sys_enter_open -ga -fo /tmp/perf.data -- sleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.028 MB /tmp/perf.data (~1206 samples) ] Using perf-script to look at the samples does not show perf command.

With this patch we get the expected behavior: $ perf stat -v -- sleep 1 cycles event is not supported by the kernel. stalled-cycles-frontend event is not supported by the kernel. stalled-cycles-backend event is not supported by the kernel. instructions event is not supported by the kernel. branches event is not supported by the kernel. branch-misses event is not supported by the kernel. ...

| * | | perf stat: Fix case where guest/host monitoring is not supported by kernelStephane Eranian2012-05-011-4/+29

But when you run perf on a kernel which does not support host/guest filtering, then you get an error saying the event in unsupported. This comes from the fact that when the perf_event_attr struct passed by the user is larger than the one known to the kernel there is safety check which ensures that all unknown bits are zero. But here, exclude_guest is 1 (part of the unknown bits) and thus the perf_event_open() syscall return EINVAL. To my surprise, running perf record on the same kernel did not exhibit the problem. The reason is that perf record handles the problem by catching the error and retrying with guest/host excludes set to zero. For some reason, this was not done with perf stat. This patch fixes this problem.

Once symbols are read we try to load also plt symbols. During the reading of plt symbols, the dso file is reopened from location given by dso->long_name. This could be wrong in case we want process buildid binaries. The change is to make the plt symbols being read from the DSO path, that normal symbols were read from.
