* | | perf script: Add generic perl handler to process eventsRobert Richter2011-12-231-6/+67
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current perf scripting facility only supports tracepoints. This patch implements a generic perl handler to support other events than tracepoints too. This patch introduces a function process_event() that is called by perf for each sample. The function is called with byte streams as arguments containing information about the event, its attributes, the sample and raw data. Perl's unpack() function can easily be used for byte decoding. The following is the default implementation for process_event() that can also be generated with perf script: # Packed byte string args of process_event(): # # $event: union perf_event util/event.h # $attr: struct perf_event_attr linux/perf_event.h # $sample: struct perf_sample util/event.h # $raw_data: perf_sample->raw_data util/event.h sub process_event { my ($event, $attr, $sample, $raw_data) = @_; my @event = unpack("LSS", $event); my @attr = unpack("LLQQQQQLLQQ", $attr); my @sample = unpack("QLLQQQQQLL", $sample); my @raw_data = unpack("C*", $raw_data); use Data::Dumper; print Dumper \@event, \@attr, \@sample, \@raw_data; } Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1323969824-9711-4-git-send-email-robert.richter@amd.com Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

* | | perf tools: Unify handling of features when writing feature sectionRobert Richter2011-12-232-9/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The features HEADER_TRACE_INFO and HEADER_BUILD_ID are handled different when writing the feature section. All other features are simply disabled on failure and writing the section goes on without returning an error. There is no reason for these special cases. This patch unifies handling of the features. This should be ok since all features can be parsed independently. Offset and size of a feature's block is stored in struct perf_file_ section right after the data block of perf.data (see perf_session__ write_header()). Thus, if a feature does not exist then other features can be processed anyway. Also moving special code for HEADER_BUILD_ID out to write_build_id(). v2: * perf record throws an error now if buildids may not be generated, which can be disabled with the --no-buildid option.

* | | perf report: Accept fifos as input fileRobert Richter2011-12-2319-33/+51

This leads to unexpected behavior of perf report, etc. E.g.: # perf record -a -e cpu-cycles sleep 2 | perf report | cat failed to open perf.data: No such file or directory (try 'perf record' first) While perf record writes to a fifo, perf report expects perf.data to be read. This patch changes this to accept fifos as input file. Applies to the following commands: perf annotate perf buildid-list perf evlist perf kmem perf lock perf report perf sched perf script perf timechart Also fixes char const* -> const char* type declaration for filename strings. v2: * Prevent potential null pointer access to input_name in builtin-report.c.

For example: $ ps -C myapp -L PID LWP TTY TIME CMD 25118 25118 ? 00:00:00 myapp 25118 25119 ? 00:00:00 myapp:worker perf record -e cs -c 1 -fo /tmp/perf.data -p 25118 -- sleep 10 perf report --stdio -i /tmp/perf.data 100.00% myapp:worker [kernel.kallsyms] [k] perf_event_task_sched_out The process name is set to the name of the last thread it finds for the process. The Problem: perf-top and perf-record both create a thread_map of threads to be monitored. That map is used in perf_event__synthesize_thread_map which loops over the entries in thread_map and calls __event__synthesize_thread to generate COMM and MMAP events. __event__synthesize_thread calls perf_event__synthesize_comm which opens /proc/pid/status, reads the name of the task and its thread group id. That's all fine. The problem is that it then reads /proc/pid/task and generates COMM events for each task it finds - but using the name found in /proc/pid/status where pid is the thread of interest. The end result (looping over thread_map + synthesizing comm events for each thread each time) means the name of the last thread processed sets the name for all threads in the process - which is not good for multithreaded processes with named threads. The Fix: perf_event__synthesize_comm has an input argument (full) that decides whether to process task entries for each pid it is passed. It currently never set to 0 (perf_event__synthesize_comm has a single caller and it always passes the value 1). Let's fix that. Add the full input argument to __event__synthesize_thread which passes it to perf_event__synthesize_comm. For thread/process monitoring set full to 0 which means COMM and MMAP events are only generated for the pid passed to it. For system wide monitoring set full to 1 so that COMM events are generated for all threads in a process.

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.
