    perf evlist: Fix per thread mmap setup · aece948f
    Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 提交于
    The PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT ioctl was returning -EINVAL when using
    --pid when monitoring multithreaded apps, as we can only share a ring
    buffer for events on the same thread if not doing per cpu.
    
    Fix it by using per thread ring buffers.
    
    Tested with:

    So 11 threads under pid 26131, then:

    11 mmaps, one per thread since we didn't specify any CPU list, so we need one
    mmap per thread and:
    
    [root@felicio ~]# perf record -F 50000 --pid 26131
    ^M
    ^C[ perf record: Woken up 79 times to write data ]
    [ perf record: Captured and wrote 20.614 MB perf.data (~900639 samples) ]
    
    [root@felicio ~]# perf report -D | grep PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE | cut -d/ -f2 | cut -d: -f1 | sort -n | uniq -c | sort -nr | nl

    Ok, one of the threads, 26151 was quiescent, so no samples there, but all the
    others are there.
    
    Then, if I specify one CPU:
    
    [root@felicio ~]# perf record -F 50000 --pid 26131 --cpu 1
    ^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
    [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.680 MB perf.data (~29730 samples) ]
    
    [root@felicio ~]# perf report -D | grep PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE | cut -d/ -f2 | cut -d: -f1 | sort -n | uniq -c | sort -nr | nl

    This machine has two cores, so fewer threads appeared on the radar, and:
    
    [root@felicio ~]# grep perf_event /proc/`pidof perf`/maps | nl
     1 7f484b922000-7f484b9a3000 rwxs 00000000 00:09 4064 anon_inode:[perf_event]
    [root@felicio ~]#
    
    Just one mmap, as now we can use just one per-cpu buffer instead of the
    per-thread needed in the previous case.
    
    For global profiling:
    
    [root@felicio ~]# perf record -F 50000 -a
    ^C[ perf record: Woken up 26 times to write data ]
    [ perf record: Captured and wrote 7.128 MB perf.data (~311412 samples) ]
    
    [root@felicio ~]# grep perf_event /proc/`pidof perf`/maps | nl
         1	7fb49b435000-7fb49b4b6000 rwxs 00000000 00:09 4064                       anon_inode:[perf_event]
         2	7fb49b4b6000-7fb49b537000 rwxs 00000000 00:09 4064                       anon_inode:[perf_event]
    [root@felicio ~]#
    
    It uses per-cpu buffers.
    
    For just one thread:
    
    [root@felicio ~]# perf record -F 50000 --tid 26148
    ^C[ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ]
    [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.330 MB perf.data (~14426 samples) ]
    
    [root@felicio ~]# perf report -D | grep PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE | cut -d/ -f2 | cut -d: -f1 | sort -n | uniq -c | sort -nr | nl
