      perf tools: Rename "kernel_info" to "machine" · 23346f21
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 提交于
      struct kernel_info and kerninfo__ are too vague, what they really
      describe are machines, virtual ones or hosts.
      
      There are more changes to introduce helpers to shorten function calls
      and to make more clear what is really being done, but I left that for
      subsequent patches.

      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      Use the new generic sample events reordering from perf trace.
      Before that, the displayed traces were ordered as they were
      in the input as recorded by perf record (not time ordered).
      
      This makes eventually perf trace displaying the events as beeing
      time ordered.

      perf: Generalize perf lock's sample event reordering to the session layer · c61e52ee
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      The sample events recorded by perf record are not time ordered
      because we have one buffer per cpu for each event (even demultiplexed
      per task/per cpu for task bound events). But when we read trace events
      we want them to be ordered by time because many state machines are
      involved.
      
      There are currently two ways perf tools deal with that:
      
      - use -M to multiplex every buffers (perf sched, perf kmem)
        But this creates a lot of contention in SMP machines on
        record time.
      
      - use a post-processing time reordering (perf timechart, perf lock)
        The reordering used by timechart is simple but doesn't scale well
        with huge flow of events, in terms of performance and memory use
        (unusable with perf lock for example).
        Perf lock has its own samples reordering that flushes its memory
        use in a regular basis and that uses a sorting based on the
        previous event queued (a new event to be queued is close to the
        previous one most of the time).
      
      This patch proposes to export perf lock's samples reordering facility
      to the session layer that reads the events. So if a tool wants to
      get ordered sample events, it needs to set its
      struct perf_event_ops::ordered_samples to true and that's it.
      
      This prepares tracing based perf tools to get rid of the need to
      use buffers multiplexing (-M) or to implement their own
      reordering.
      
      Also lower the flush period to 2 as it's sufficient already.

      The parse_single_tracepoint_event() was setting some attributes
      before it validated the event was indeed a tracepoint event. This
      caused problems with other initialization routines like in the

      perf lock: Fix state machine to recognize lock sequence · e4cef1f6
      Hitoshi Mitake 提交于
      Previous state machine of perf lock was really broken.
      This patch improves it a little.
      
      This patch prepares the list of state machine that represents
      lock sequences for each threads.
      
      These state machines can be one of these sequences:
      
            1) acquire -> acquired -> release
            2) acquire -> contended -> acquired -> release
            3) acquire (w/ try) -> release
            4) acquire (w/ read) -> release
      
      The case of 4) is a little special.
      Double acquire of read lock is allowed, so the state machine
      counts read lock number, and permits double acquire and release.
      
      But, things are not so simple. Something in my model is still wrong.
      I counted the number of lock instances with bad sequence,
      and ratio is like this (case of tracing whoami): bad:233, total:2279
      
      version 2:
       * threads are now identified with tid, not pid
       * prepared SEQ_STATE_READ_ACQUIRED for read lock.
       * bunch of struct lock_seq_stat is now linked list
       * debug information enhanced (this have to be removed someday)
         e.g.
           | === output for debug===
           |
           | bad:233, total:2279
           | bad rate:0.000000
           | histogram of events caused bad sequence
           |     acquire: 165
           |    acquired: 0
           |   contended: 0
           |     release: 68
