Currently, if a test causes constant output but never reaches a
boot prompt, or crashes, the test will never stop. Add STOP_TEST_AFTER
to create a variable that will stop (and fail) the test after it has run
for this amount of time. The default is 10 minutes. Setting this
variable to -1 will disable it.

Record the console of tests to both the console and the log.
Also, record the bug reports afte the test has completed.
Currently, if a kernel bug happens while running the userland
test, the test stops and will not record the kernel bug. This
makes it difficult to solve what happened.

The config STOP_AFTER_FAILURE is the number of seconds to continue
the test when a failure is detected. This lets the monitor record
more data to the logs and console that may be helpful in solving
the bug that was found.

But the test had a bug. If the failure caused multiple
"Call Trace" stack dumps, the start time to compare the
STOP_AFTER_FAILURE would constantly be reset. Only update the start
time at the first "Call Trace" instance.

Add the config option BISECT_FILES that allows the user to
specify what path in the kernel to run the git bisect on.
Signed-off-by: NSteven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

If a during a git bisect, ktest fails on something other than
what it is testing (if BISECT_TYPE is test but it fails on build),
if BISECT_SKIP is set, then it will do a "git bisect skip" instead
of just failing the bisect and letting the user find a good commit
to test.
Signed-off-by: NSteven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

For both git bisect and config bisect, if BISECT_MANUAL is set to 1,
then bisect will stop between iterations and ask the user for the
result. The actual result is ignored. This makes it possible to
use ktest.pl for bisecting configs and git and let the user examine
the results themselves and enter their own results.
Signed-off-by: NSteven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

When bisecting, one may come across a kernel that does not have
make oldnoconfig. In this case, we need to run the command "yes"
into a make oldconfig. This will select defaults instead of 'n'
into each command, but it works as a work around.

Note, "yes n" will not work because a config may have a value that
"n" is not acceptable for.

Currently we just look for a Call Trace to start the time out
when to reboot the box. But if the kernel panics and does not
show a Call Trace, the test will not reboot the box after
the specified timeout.

Currently numcpus is determined in pid_put_sample which is only
called on sched_switch/sched_wakeup sample processing.

On a machine with a lot cpus I often saw the last cpu missing.

Check for (max) numcpus on every event happening and in the
beginning. -> fixes the issue for me.

  Warning:  ... trying to fall back to cpu-clock-ticks

[ls output]
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.008 MB perf.data (~363 samples) ]

That lead me and David Ahern to see that something was fishy on the thread
synthesizing routines, at least for the case where the workload is started
from 'perf record', as -1 is the default for target_tid in 'perf record --tid'
parameter, so somehow we were trying to synthesize the PERF_RECORD_MMAP and
PERF_RECORD_COMM events for the thread -1, a bug.

So I investigated this and noticed that when we introduced support for
recording a process and its threads using --pid some bugs were introduced and
that the way to fix it was to instead of passing the target_tid to the event
synthesizing routines we should better pass the thread_map that has the list of
threads for a --pid or just the single thread for a --tid.

Checked in the following ways:

On a 8-way machine run cyclictest:

This will create one extra thread per CPU:

[root@emilia ~]# tuna -t cyclictest -CP
                      thread       ctxt_switches
    pid SCHED_ rtpri affinity voluntary nonvoluntary             cmd
 28825   OTHER     0     0xff      2169          671      cyclictest
  28832   FIFO    93        6     52338            1      cyclictest
  28833   FIFO    92        7     46524            1      cyclictest
  28826   FIFO    99        0    209360            1      cyclictest
  28827   FIFO    98        1    139577            1      cyclictest
  28828   FIFO    97        2    104686            0      cyclictest
  28829   FIFO    96        3     83751            1      cyclictest
  28830   FIFO    95        4     69794            1      cyclictest
  28831   FIFO    94        5     59825            1      cyclictest
[root@emilia ~]#

So we should expect only samples for the above 9 threads when using the
--dump-raw-trace|-D perf report switch to look at the column with the tid:

[root@emilia ~]# perf report -D | grep RECORD_SAMPLE | cut -d/ -f2 | cut -d: -f1 | sort | uniq -c
    629 28825
    110 28826
    491 28827
    308 28828
    198 28829
    621 28830
    225 28831
    203 28832
     89 28833
[root@emilia ~]#

So for workloads started by 'perf record' seems to work, now for existing workloads,
just run cyclictest first, without 'perf record':

[root@emilia ~]# tuna -t cyclictest -CP
                      thread       ctxt_switches
    pid SCHED_ rtpri affinity voluntary nonvoluntary             cmd
 28859   OTHER     0     0xff       594          200      cyclictest
  28864   FIFO    95        4     16587            1      cyclictest
  28865   FIFO    94        5     14219            1      cyclictest
  28866   FIFO    93        6     12443            0      cyclictest
  28867   FIFO    92        7     11062            1      cyclictest
  28860   FIFO    99        0     49779            1      cyclictest
  28861   FIFO    98        1     33190            1      cyclictest
  28862   FIFO    97        2     24895            1      cyclictest
  28863   FIFO    96        3     19918            1      cyclictest
[root@emilia ~]#

and then later did:

[root@emilia ~]# perf record --pid 28859 sleep 3
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.027 MB perf.data (~1195 samples) ]
[root@emilia ~]#

To collect 3 seconds worth of samples for pid 28859 and its children:

[root@emilia ~]# perf report -D | grep RECORD_SAMPLE | cut -d/ -f2 | cut -d: -f1 | sort | uniq -c
     15 28859
     33 28860
     19 28861
     13 28862
     13 28863
     10 28864
     11 28865
      9 28866
    255 28867
[root@emilia ~]#

Works, last thing is to check if looking at just one of those threads also works:

[root@emilia ~]# perf record --tid 28866 sleep 3
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.006 MB perf.data (~242 samples) ]
[root@emilia ~]# perf report -D | grep RECORD_SAMPLE | cut -d/ -f2 | cut -d: -f1 | sort | uniq -c
      3 28866
[root@emilia ~]#

Works too.

In ARM's Thumb mode the bottom bit of the symbol address is set to mark
the function as Thumb; the instructions are in reality 2 or 4 byte on 2
byte alignments, and when the +1 address is used in annotate it causes
objdump to disassemble invalid instructions.

The patch removes that bottom bit during symbol loading.

Fix it by moving it to after parse_events in cmd_record, as at that point
we can just traverse the evsel_list and use evsel->attr.config +
event_name(evsel) instead of re-opening the /id file.

It wasn't accounting the ':' when consuming bytes in the the event
selector string, so parse_events() would fail in this test:

                if (!(*str == 0 || *str == ',' || isspace(*str)))
                        return -1;

as *str would be pointing to '*', the last character in the '-e' arg in:

Sometimes there is a need to use perf in "live-log" mode. The problem
is, for seldom events, actual info output is largely delayed because
perf-record reads sample data in whole pages.

So for such scenarious, add flag for perf-record to go in "nodelay"
mode. To track e.g. what's going on in icmp_rcv while ping is running
Use it with something like this:

(1) $ perf probe -L icmp_rcv | grep -U8 '^ *43\>'
                                    goto error;
                    }
         38         if (!pskb_pull(skb, sizeof(*icmph)))
                            goto error;
                    icmph = icmp_hdr(skb);

         43         ICMPMSGIN_INC_STATS_BH(net, icmph->type);
                    /*
                     *      18 is the highest 'known' ICMP type. Anything else is a mystery
                     *
                     *      RFC 1122: 3.2.2  Unknown ICMP messages types MUST be silently
                     *                discarded.
                     */
         50         if (icmph->type > NR_ICMP_TYPES)
                            goto error;

    $ perf probe icmp_rcv:43 'type=icmph->type'

(2) $ cat trace-icmp.py
    [...]
    def trace_begin():
            print "in trace_begin"

    def trace_end():
            print "in trace_end"

    def probe__icmp_rcv(event_name, context, common_cpu,
            common_secs, common_nsecs, common_pid, common_comm,
            __probe_ip, type):
                    print_header(event_name, common_cpu, common_secs, common_nsecs,
                            common_pid, common_comm)

                    print "__probe_ip=%u, type=%u\n" % \
                    (__probe_ip, type),
    [...]

(3) $ perf record -a -D -e probe:icmp_rcv -o - | \
      perf script -i - -s trace-icmp.py

MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS first became available on Westmere Xeon.
It is implemented in all Sandy Bridge processors -- mobile, desktop and server.
It is expected to become increasingly important in subsequent generations.

x86_energy_perf_policy is a user-space utility to set the
hardware energy vs performance policy hint in the processor.
Most systems would benefit from "x86_energy_perf_policy normal"
at system startup, as the hardware default is maximum performance
at the expense of energy efficiency.

See x86_energy_perf_policy.8 man page for more information.

Background:

Linux-2.6.36 added "epb" to /proc/cpuinfo to indicate
if an x86 processor supports MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS,
without actually modifying the MSR.

In March, 2010, Venkatesh Pallipadi proposed a small driver
that programmed MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS, based on
the cpufreq governor in use.  It also offered
a boot-time cmdline option to override.
http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/3/4/457
But hiding the hardware policy behind the
governor choice was deemed "kinda icky".

In June, 2010, I proposed a generic user/kernel API to
generalize the power/performance policy trade-off.
"RFC: /sys/power/policy_preference"
http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/6/16/399
That is my preference for implementing this capability,
but I received no support on the list.

So in September, 2010, I sent x86_energy_perf_policy.c to LKML,
a user-space utility that scribbles directly to the MSR.
http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/9/28/246

Here is that same utility, after responding to some review feedback,
to live in tools/power/, where it is easily found.

turbostat is a Linux tool to observe proper operation
of Intel(R) Turbo Boost Technology.

turbostat displays the actual processor frequency
on x86 processors that include APERF and MPERF MSRs.

Note that turbostat is of limited utility on Linux
kernels 2.6.29 and older, as acpi_cpufreq cleared
APERF/MPERF up through that release.

On Intel Core i3/i5/i7 (Nehalem) and newer processors,
turbostat also displays residency in idle power saving states,
which are necessary for diagnosing any cpuidle issues
that may have an effect on turbo-mode.

See the turbostat.8 man page for example usage.

Before we had sym_counter, it was initialized to zero and we used that
as an index in the global attrs variable, now we have a list of evsel
entries, and sym_counter became sym_evsel, that remained initialized to
zero (NULL): b00m.

Fix it by initializing it to the first entry in the evsel list.

We need to defer calling perf_evsel_list__delete() till after atexit
registered routines, because we need to traverse the events being
recorded at that time at least on 'perf record'.

This fixes the problem reported by Thomas Renninger where cmd_record
called by cmd_timechart would not write the tracing data to the perf.data
file header because the evsel_list at atexit (control+C on 'perf timechart
record') time would be empty, being already deleted by run_builtin(),
and thus 'perf timechart' when trying to process such perf.data file would
die with:

"no trace data in the file"

We end up endlessly looping back to remap. Off by one.

And a test for it:

[acme@felicio linux]$ perf test
 1: vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms: Ok
 2: detect open syscall event: Ok
 3: detect open syscall event on all cpus: Ok
[acme@felicio linux]$

Translating C the test does:

1. generates different number of open syscalls on each CPU
   by using sched_setaffinity
2. Verifies that the expected number of events is generated
   on each CPU

It works as expected.

For unsupported events (e.g., H/W events when running in a VM)
perf stat currently fails with the error message:

      Error: open_counter returned with 2 (No such file or directory).
    /bin/dmesg may provide additional information.

      Fatal: Not all events could be opened.

dmesg is of no help and it is not clear as to why it fails to
open the counter. This patch changes the error message to

      Error: cache-misses event is not supported.
      Fatal: Not all events could be opened.

Since commit 69aad6f1(perf tools: Introduce event selectors), only
perf_event_attr::type and ::config are passed to event selector, which
makes perf tool not work correctly.

For example, PEBS does not work because perf_event_attr::precise_ip is
not passed to the syscall.
