      perf report: Add support for srcfile sort key · 31191a85
      由 Andi Kleen 提交于 
      In some cases it's useful to characterize samples by file. This is
useful to get a higher level categorization, for example to map cost to
subsystems.

Add a srcfile sort key to perf report. It builds on top of the existing
srcline support.

Commiter notes:

E.g.:

  # perf record -F 10000 usleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.016 MB perf.data (13 samples) ]
  [root@zoo ~]# perf report -s srcfile --stdio
  # Total Lost Samples: 0
  #
  # Samples: 13  of event 'cycles'
  # Event count (approx.): 869878
  #
  # Overhead  Source File
  # ........  ...........
      60.99%  .
      20.62%  paravirt.h
      14.23%  rmap.c
       4.04%  signal.c
       0.11%  msr.h

  #

The first line is collecting all the files for which srcfiles couldn't somehow
get resolved to:

  # perf report -s srcfile,dso --stdio
  # Total Lost Samples: 0
  #
  # Samples: 13  of event 'cycles'
  # Event count (approx.): 869878
  #
  # Overhead  Source File  Shared Object
  # ........  ...........  ................
      40.97%  .            ld-2.20.so
      20.62%  paravirt.h   [kernel.vmlinux]
      20.02%  .            libc-2.20.so
      14.23%  rmap.c       [kernel.vmlinux]
       4.04%  signal.c     [kernel.vmlinux]
       0.11%  msr.h        [kernel.vmlinux]

  #

XXX: Investigate why that is not resolving on Fedora 21, Andi says he hasn't
     seen this on Fedora 22.

      perf report: Add --branch-history option · fa94c36c
      由 Andi Kleen 提交于 
      Add a --branch-history option to perf report that changes all the
settings necessary for using the branches in callstacks.

This is just a short cut to make this nicer to use, it does not enable
any functionality by itself.

v2: Change sort order. Rename option to --branch-history to
    be less confusing.
v3: Updates
v4: Fix conflict with newer perf base
v5: Port to latest tip
v6: Add more comments. Remove CCKEY_ADDRESS setting. Remove
    unnecessary branch_mode setting. Use a boolean.

      perf callchain: Support handling complete branch stacks as histograms · 8b7bad58
      由 Andi Kleen 提交于 
      Currently branch stacks can be only shown as edge histograms for
individual branches. I never found this display particularly useful.

This implements an alternative mode that creates histograms over
complete branch traces, instead of individual branches, similar to how
normal callgraphs are handled. This is done by putting it in front of
the normal callgraph and then using the normal callgraph histogram
infrastructure to unify them.

This way in complex functions we can understand the control flow that
lead to a particular sample, and may even see some control flow in the
caller for short functions.

Example (simplified, of course for such simple code this is usually not
needed), please run this after the whole patchkit is in, as at this
point in the patch order there is no --branch-history, that will be
added in a patch after this one:

tcall.c:

volatile a = 10000, b = 100000, c;

__attribute__((noinline)) f2()
{
	c = a / b;
}

__attribute__((noinline)) f1()
{
	f2();
	f2();
}
main()
{
	int i;
	for (i = 0; i < 1000000; i++)
		f1();
}

% perf record -b -g ./tsrc/tcall

The default output is unchanged.

This is only implemented in perf report, no change to record or anywhere
else.

This adds the basic code to report:

- add a new "branch" option to the -g option parser to enable this mode
- when the flag is set include the LBR into the callstack in machine.c.

The rest of the history code is unchanged and doesn't know the
difference between LBR entry and normal call entry.

- detect overlaps with the callchain
- remove small loop duplicates in the LBR

Current limitations:

- The LBR flags (mispredict etc.) are not shown in the history
and LBR entries have no special marker.
- It would be nice if annotate marked the LBR entries somehow
(e.g. with arrows)

v2: Various fixes.
v3: Merge further patches into this one. Fix white space.
v4: Improve manpage. Address review feedback.
v5: Rename functions. Better error message without -g. Fix crash without
    -b.
v6: Rebase
v7: Rebase. Use NO_ENTRY in memset.
v8: Port to latest tip. Move add_callchain_ip to separate
    patch. Skip initial entries in callchain. Minor cleanups.

      perf tools: Add dcacheline sort · 9b32ba71
      由 Don Zickus 提交于 
      In perf's 'mem-mode', one can get access to a whole bunch of details specific to a
particular sample instruction.  A bunch of those details relate to the data
address.

One interesting thing you can do with data addresses is to convert them into a unique
cacheline they belong too.  Organizing these data cachelines into similar groups and sorting
them can reveal cache contention.

This patch creates an alogorithm based on various sample details that can help group
entries together into data cachelines and allows 'perf report' to sort on it.

The algorithm relies on having proper mmap2 support in the kernel to help determine
if the memory map the data address belongs to is private to a pid or globally shared.

The alogortithm is as follows:

o group cpumodes together
o group entries with discovered maps together
o sort on major, minor, inode and inode generation numbers
o if userspace anon, then sort on pid
o sort on cachelines based on data addresses

The 'dcacheline' sort option in 'perf report' only works in 'mem-mode'.

Sample output:

 #
 # Samples: 206  of event 'cpu/mem-loads/pp'
 # Total weight : 2534
 # Sort order   : dcacheline,pid
 #
 # Overhead       Samples                                                          Data Cacheline       Command:  Pid

      perf report: Add --max-stack option to limit callchain stack scan · 91e95617
      由 Waiman Long 提交于 
      When callgraph data was included in the perf data file, it may take a
long time to scan all those data and merge them together especially if
the stored callchains are long and the perf data file itself is large,
like a Gbyte or so.

The callchain stack is currently limited to PERF_MAX_STACK_DEPTH (127).
This is a large value. Usually the callgraph data that developers are
most interested in are the first few levels, the rests are usually not
looked at.

This patch adds a new --max-stack option to perf-report to limit the
depth of callchain stack data to look at to reduce the time it takes for
perf-report to finish its processing. It trades the presence of trailing
stack information with faster speed.

The following table shows the elapsed time of doing perf-report on a
perf.data file of size 985,531,828 bytes.

      perf report/top: Add option to collapse undesired parts of call graph · b21484f1
      由 Greg Price 提交于 
      For example, in an application with an expensive function implemented
with deeply nested recursive calls, the default call-graph presentation
is dominated by the different callchains within that function.  By
ignoring these callees, we can collect the callchains leading into the
function and compactly identify what to blame for expensive calls.

For example, in this report the callers of garbage_collect() are
scattered across the tree:

  $ perf report -d ruby 2>- | grep -m10 ^[^#]*[a-z]
      22.03%     ruby  [.] gc_mark
                 --- gc_mark
                    |--59.40%-- mark_keyvalue
                    |          st_foreach
                    |          gc_mark_children
                    |          |--99.75%-- rb_gc_mark
                    |          |          rb_vm_mark

                    |          |          |--99.00%-- garbage_collect

If we ignore the callees of garbage_collect(), its callers are coalesced:

  $ perf report --ignore-callees garbage_collect -d ruby 2>- | grep -m10 ^[^#]*[a-z]
      72.92%     ruby  [.] garbage_collect

      perf report: Add a simple GTK2-based 'perf report' browser · c31a9457
      由 Pekka Enberg 提交于 
      This patch adds a simple GTK2-based browser to 'perf report' that's
based on the TTY-based browser in builtin-report.c.

To launch "perf report" using the new GTK interface just type:

  $ perf report --gtk

The interface is somewhat limited in features at the moment:

  - No callgraph support

  - No KVM guest profiling support

  - No color coding for percentages

  - No sorting from the UI

  - ..and many, many more!

That said, I think this patch a reasonable start to build future features on.

      perf report: Auto-detect branch stack sampling mode · 993ac88d
      由 Stephane Eranian 提交于 
      This patch enhances perf report to auto-detect when the
perf.data file contains samples with branch stacks. That way it
is not necessary to use the -b option.

To force branch view mode to off, simply use --no-branch-stack.

      perf report: Add support for taken branch sampling · b50311dc
      由 Roberto Agostino Vitillo 提交于 
      This patch adds support for taken branch sampling, i.e, the
PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK feature to perf report. In other
words, to display histograms based on taken branches rather
than executed instructions addresses.

The new option is called -b and it takes no argument. To
generate meaningful output, the perf.data must have been
obtained using perf record -b xxx ... where xxx is a branch
filter option.

The output shows symbols, modules, sorted by 'who branches
where' the most often. The percentages reported in the first
column refer to the total number of branches captured and
not the usual number of samples.

Here is a quick example.
Here branchy is simple test program which looks as follows:

void f2(void)
{}
void f3(void)
{}
void f1(unsigned long n)
{
  if (n & 1UL)
    f2();
  else
    f3();
}
int main(void)
{
  unsigned long i;

  for (i=0; i < N; i++)
   f1(i);
  return 0;
}

Here is the output captured on Nehalem, if we are
only interested in user level function calls.

$ perf record -b any_call,u -e cycles:u branchy

$ perf report -b --sort=symbol
    52.34%  [.] main                   [.] f1
    24.04%  [.] f1                     [.] f3
    23.60%  [.] f1                     [.] f2
     0.01%  [k] _IO_new_file_xsputn    [k] _IO_file_overflow
     0.01%  [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal  [k] _IO_new_file_xsputn
     0.01%  [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal  [k] strchrnul
     0.01%  [k] __printf               [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal
     0.01%  [k] main                   [k] __printf

About half (52%) of the call branches captured are from main()
-> f1(). The second half (24%+23%) is split in two equal shares
between f1() -> f2(), f1() ->f3(). The output is as expected
given the code.

It should be noted, that using -b in perf record does not
eliminate information in the perf.data file. Consequently, a
typical profile can also be obtained by perf report by simply
not using its -b option.

It is possible to sort on branch related columns:

   - dso_from, symbol_from
   - dso_to, symbol_to
   - mispredict

      perf report: Accept fifos as input file · efad1415
      由 Robert Richter 提交于 
      The default input file for perf report is not handled the same way as
perf record does it for its output file. 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. Needed due to removal of patch "perf report: Setup
  browser if stdout is a pipe"
