      perf record: Synthesize COMM event for a command line workload · e803cf97
      Namhyung Kim 提交于
      When perf creates a new child to profile, the events are enabled on
      exec().  And in this case, it doesn't synthesize any event for the
      child since they'll be generated during exec().  But there's an window
      between the enabling and the event generation.
      
      It used to be overcome since samples are only in kernel (so we always
      have the map) and the comm is overridden by a later COMM event.
      However it won't work if events are processed and displayed before the
      COMM event overrides like in 'perf script'.  This leads to those early
      samples (like native_write_msr_safe) not having a comm but pid (like
      ':15328').
      
      So it needs to synthesize COMM event for the child explicitly before
      enabling so that it can have a correct comm.  But at this time, the
      comm will be "perf" since it's not exec-ed yet.

      perf record: Allow filtering perf's pid via --exclude-perf · 4ba1faa1
      Wang Nan 提交于
      This patch allows 'perf record' to exclude events issued by perf itself
      by '--exclude-perf' option.
      
      Before this patch, when doing something like:
      
       # perf record -a -e syscalls:sys_enter_write <cmd>
      
      One could easily get result like this:
      
       # /tmp/perf report --stdio
       ...
        # Overhead  Command  Shared Object       Symbol
        # ........  .......  ..................  ....................
        #
            99.99%  perf     libpthread-2.18.so  [.] __write_nocancel
            0.01%   ls       libc-2.18.so        [.] write
            0.01%   sshd     libc-2.18.so        [.] write
       ...
      
      Where most events are generated by perf itself.
      
      A shell trick can be done to filter perf itself out:
      
       # cat << EOF > ./tmp
       > #!/bin/sh
       > exec perf record -e ... --filter="common_pid != \$\$" -a sleep 10
       > EOF
       # chmod a+x ./tmp
       # ./tmp
      
      However, doing so is user unfriendly.
      
      This patch extracts evsel iteration framework introduced by patch 'perf
      record: Apply filter to all events in a glob matching' into
      foreach_evsel_in_last_glob(), and makes exclude_perf() function append
      new filter expression to each evsel selected by a '-e' selector.
      
      To avoid losing filters if user pass '--filter' after '--exclude-perf',
      this patch uses perf_evsel__append_filter() in both case, instead of
      perf_evsel__set_filter() which removes old filter. As a side effect, now
      it is possible to use multiple '--filter' option for one selector. They
      are combinded with '&&'.

      perf tools: Enable LBR call stack support · aad2b21c
      Kan Liang 提交于
      Currently, there are two call chain recording options, fp and dwarf.
      
      Haswell has a new feature that utilizes the existing LBR facility to
      record call chains. Kernel side LBR support code provides this as a
      third option to record call chains. This patch enables the lbr call
      stack support on the tooling side.
      
      LBR call stack has some limitations:
      
       - It reuses current LBR facility, so LBR call stack and branch record
         can not be enabled at the same time.
      
       - It is only available for user-space callchains.
      
      However, it also offers some advantages:
      
       - LBR call stack can work on user apps which don't have frame-pointers
         or dwarf debug info compiled. It is a good alternative when nothing
         else works.

      perf record: Do not save pathname in ./debug/.build-id directory for vmlinux · 00dc8657
      Namhyung Kim 提交于
      When perf record finishes a session, it pre-processes samples in order
      to write build-id info from DSOs that had samples.
      
      During this process it'll call map__load() for the kernel map, and it
      ends up calling dso__load_vmlinux_path() which replaces dso->long_name.
      
      But this function checks kernel's build-id before searching vmlinux path
      so it'll end up with a cryptic name, the pathname for the entry in the
      ~/.debug cache, which can be confusing to users.
      
      This patch adds a flag to skip the build-id check during record, so
      that it'll have the original vmlinux path for the kernel dso->long_name,
      not the entry in the ~/.debug cache.
