* perf uprobes: Remove unnecessary check before strlist__deleteSrikar Dronamraju2012-05-311-6/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since strlist__delete() itself checks, the additional check before calling strlist__delete() is redundant. No Functional change.

* perf evsel: Fix 32 bit values endianity swap for sample_id_all headerJiri Olsa2012-05-311-7/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We swap the sample_id_all header by u64 pointers. Some members of the header happen to be 32 bit values. We need to handle them separatelly. Together with other endianity patches, this change fixies perf report discrepancies on origin and target systems as described in test 1 below, e.g. following perf report diff: ... 0.12% ps [kernel.kallsyms] [k] clear_page - 0.12% awk bash [.] alloc_word_desc + 0.12% awk bash [.] yyparse 0.11% beah-rhts-task libpython2.6.so.1.0 [.] 0x5560e 0.10% perf libc-2.12.so [.] __ctype_toupper_loc - 0.09% rhts-test-runne bash [.] maybe_make_export_env + 0.09% rhts-test-runne bash [.] 0x385a0 0.09% ps [kernel.kallsyms] [k] page_fault ...

* perf session: Handle endianity swap on sample_id_all header dataJiri Olsa2012-05-311-12/+55
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Adding endianity swapping for event header attached via sample_id_all. Currently we dont do that and it's causing wrong data to be read when running report on architecture with different endianity than the record. The perf is currently able to process 32-bit PPC samples on 32-bit and 64-bit x86.

* perf symbols: Handle different endians properly during symbol loadJiri Olsa2012-05-312-1/+62
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently we dont care about the file object's endianness.

* perf stat: Initialize default events wrt exclude_{guest,host}Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo2012-05-303-4/+19

When the change was made to the tools so that by default guest samples would be excluded, the changes were made just to the parsing routines and to perf_evlist__add_default(), not to perf_evlist__add_attrs, that is used so far just by perf stat to add multiple events, according to the level of detail specified. Recently the tools were changed to reconstruct the event name from all the details in perf_event_attr, not just from .type and .config, but taking into account all the feature bits (.exclude_{guest,host,user,kernel,etc}, .precise_ip, etc). That is when we noticed that the default for perf stat wasn't the one for the rest of the tools, i.e. the .exclude_guest bit wasn't being set. I.e. the default, that doesn't call event_attr_init was showing the :HG modifier: $ perf stat usleep 1 Performance counter stats for 'usleep 1': 0.942119 task-clock # 0.454 CPUs utilized 1 context-switches # 0.001 M/sec 0 CPU-migrations # 0.000 K/sec 126 page-faults # 0.134 M/sec 693,193 cycles:HG # 0.736 GHz [40.11%] 407,461 stalled-cycles-frontend:HG # 58.78% frontend cycles idle [72.29%] 365,403 stalled-cycles-backend:HG # 52.71% backend cycles idle 465,982 instructions:HG # 0.67 insns per cycle # 0.87 stalled cycles per insn 89,760 branches:HG # 95.275 M/sec 6,178 branch-misses:HG # 6.88% of all branches 0.002077228 seconds time elapsed While if one explicitely specifies the same events, which will make the parsing code to be called and thus event_attr_init is called: $ perf stat -e task-clock,context-switches,migrations,page-faults,cycles,stalled-cycles-frontend,stalled-cycles-backend,instructions,branches,branch-misses usleep 1 Performance counter stats for 'usleep 1': 1.040349 task-clock # 0.500 CPUs utilized 2 context-switches # 0.002 M/sec 0 CPU-migrations # 0.000 K/sec 127 page-faults # 0.122 M/sec 587,966 cycles # 0.565 GHz [13.18%] 459,167 stalled-cycles-frontend # 78.09% frontend cycles idle 390,249 stalled-cycles-backend # 66.37% backend cycles idle 504,006 instructions # 0.86 insns per cycle # 0.91 stalled cycles per insn 96,455 branches # 92.714 M/sec 6,522 branch-misses # 6.76% of all branches [96.12%] 0.002078681 seconds time elapsed Fix it by introducing a perf_evlist__add_default_attrs method that will call evlist_attr_init in all the perf_event_attr entries before adding the events.

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."

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.

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.

* | 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 __perf_session__process_pipe_events(), there was a risk we would read more than what a union perf_event struct can hold. this could happen in case, perf is reading a file which contains new record types it does not know about and which are larger than anything it knows about. 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.

* | perf tools: Carry perf_event_attr bitfield throught different endiansJiri Olsa2012-05-221-0/+34

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>
