    • A
      perf stat: Basic support for TopDown in perf stat · 44b1e60a
      由 Andi Kleen 提交于 
      Add basic plumbing for TopDown in perf stat

TopDown is intended to replace the frontend cycles idle/ backend cycles
idle metrics in standard perf stat output.  These metrics are not
reliable in many workloads, due to out of order effects.

This implements a new --topdown mode in perf stat (similar to
--transaction) that measures the pipe line bottlenecks using
standardized formulas. The measurement can be all done with 5 counters
(one fixed counter)

The result are four metrics:

FrontendBound, BackendBound, BadSpeculation, Retiring

that describe the CPU pipeline behavior on a high level.

The full top down methology has many hierarchical metrics.  This
implementation only supports level 1 which can be collected without
multiplexing. A full implementation of top down on top of perf is
available in pmu-tools toplev.  (http://github.com/andikleen/pmu-tools)

The current version works on Intel Core CPUs starting with Sandy Bridge,
and Atom CPUs starting with Silvermont.  In principle the generic
metrics should be also implementable on other out of order CPUs.

TopDown level 1 uses a set of abstracted metrics which are generic to
out of order CPU cores (although some CPUs may not implement all of
them):

  topdown-total-slots       Available slots in the pipeline
  topdown-slots-issued      Slots issued into the pipeline
  topdown-slots-retired     Slots successfully retired
  topdown-fetch-bubbles     Pipeline gaps in the frontend
  topdown-recovery-bubbles  Pipeline gaps during recovery
                            from misspeculation

These metrics then allow to compute four useful metrics:

FrontendBound, BackendBound, Retiring, BadSpeculation.

Add a new --topdown options to enable events.  When --topdown is
specified set up events for all topdown events supported by the kernel.
Add topdown-* as a special case to the event parser, as is needed for
all events containing -.

The actual code to compute the metrics is in follow-on patches.

v2: Use standard sysctl read function.
v3: Move x86 specific code to arch/
v4: Enable --metric-only implicitly for topdown.
v5: Add --single-thread option to not force per core mode
v6: Fix output order of topdown metrics
v7: Allow combining with -d
v8: Remove --single-thread again
v9: Rename functions, adding arch_ and topdown_.
v10: Expand man page and describe TopDown better
Paste intro into commit description.
Print error when malloc fails.

      perf script: Show call graphs when 1st event doesn't have it but some other has · 40f20e50
      由 He Kuang 提交于 
      There's a display inconsistency when there are multiple tracepoint
events, some of which have the 'call-graph' config option set but the
first one hasn't, i.e. the whole logic for call graph processing is
enabled only if the first tracepoint event has call-graph set.

For instance, if we record signal_deliver with call-graph and
signal_generate without:

  $ perf record -g -a -e signal:signal_deliver -e signal:signal_generate/call-graph=no/

  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.017 MB perf.data (2 samples) ]

  $ perf script

  kworker/u2:1    13 [000]  6563.875949: signal:signal_generate: sig=2 errno=0 code=128 comm=perf pid=1313 grp=1 res=0 ff61cc __send_signal+0x3ec ([kernel.kallsyms])
  perf  1313 [000]  6563.877584:  signal:signal_deliver: sig=2 errno=0 code=128 sa_handler=43115e sa_flags=14000000
              7ffff314 get_signal+0x80007f0023a4 ([kernel.kallsyms])
              7fffe358 do_signal+0x80007f002028 ([kernel.kallsyms])
              7fffa5e8 exit_to_usermode_loop+0x80007f002053 ([kernel.kallsyms])
              ...

Then we exchange the order of these two events in commandline, and keep
signal_generate without call-graph.

  $ perf record -g -a -e signal:signal_generate/call-graph=no/ -e signal:signal_deliver

  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.017 MB perf.data (2 samples) ]

  $ perf script

    kworker/u2:2  1314 [000]  6933.353060: signal:signal_generate: sig=2 errno=0 code=128 comm=perf pid=1321 grp=1 res=0
            perf  1321 [000]  6933.353872:  signal:signal_deliver: sig=2 errno=0 code=128 sa_handler=43115e sa_flags=14000000

This time, the callchain of the event signal_deliver disappeared. The
problem is caused by that perf only checks for the first evsel in evlist
and decides if callchain should be printed.

This patch traverses all evsels in evlist to see if any of them have
callchains, and shows the right result:

  $ perf script

  kworker/u2:2  1314 [000]  6933.353060: signal:signal_generate: sig=2 errno=0 code=128 comm=perf pid=1321 grp=1 res=0 ff61cc __send_signal+0x3ec ([kernel.kallsyms])

In cases such as syscall file descriptor ("fd") tracking, this is

      perf/x86/intel: Add topdown events to Intel Core · a39fcae7
      由 Andi Kleen 提交于 
      Add declarations for the events needed for topdown to the
Intel big core CPUs starting with Sandy Bridge. We need
to report different values if HyperThreading is on or off.

The only thing this patch does is to export some events
in sysfs.

topdown level 1 uses a set of abstracted metrics which
are generic to out of order CPU cores (although some
CPUs may not implement all of them):

topdown-total-slots	  Available slots in the pipeline
topdown-slots-issued	  Slots issued into the pipeline
topdown-slots-retired	  Slots successfully retired
topdown-fetch-bubbles	  Pipeline gaps in the frontend
topdown-recovery-bubbles  Pipeline gaps during recovery
			  from misspeculation

A slot is a single operation in the CPU pipe line.

These metrics then allow to compute four useful metrics:
FrontendBound, BackendBound, Retiring, BadSpeculation.

The formulas to compute the metrics are generic, they
only change based on the availability on the abstracted
input values.

The kernel declares the events supported by the current
CPU and their scaling factors (such as the pipeline width)
and perf stat then computes the formulas based on the
available metrics.  This is similar how existing
perf metrics, such as TSC metrics or IPC, are implemented.

This abstracts all CPU pipe line specific knowledge in the
kernel driver, but still avoids the need for larger scale perf
interface changes.

For HyperThreading the any bit is needed to get accurate
values when both threads are executing. This implies that
the events can only be collected as root or with
perf_event_paranoid=-1 for now.

The basic scheme is based on the following paper:

Add a global variable that is updated with the maximum number
of smt threads on any CPU on online/offline, and use it for
topology_max_smt_threads()

The single call is easier to use than a loop.

Not exported to user space because user space already can use
the existing sibling interfaces to find this out.

      perf/x86/intel/uncore: Locate specific box by checking full device info · a54fa079
      由 Kan Liang 提交于 
      Some platforms, e.g. Knights Landing, use a common PCI device ID for
multiple instances of an uncore PMU device type. So it is impossible to
locate the specific instances only by PCI device ID.

The current code specially handles Knights Landing by arbitrarily pointing
an instance to an unused uncore box. However, we still have no idea
which uncore device is mapped to which box.

Furthermore, there could be more platforms which use a common PCI device ID
for uncore devices. We have to specially handle them one by one.

This patch records full device information (slot, func, and device ID)
in id_table[]. So the probe function can point the instance to a specific
uncore box by checking the full device information.

      perf/core: Fix implicitly enable dynamic interrupt throttle · ab7fdefb
      由 Kan Liang 提交于 
      This patch fixes an issue which was introduced by commit:

  91a612ee ("perf/core: Fix dynamic interrupt throttle")

... which commit unconditionally sets the perf_sample_allowed_ns value
to !0. But that could trigger a bug in the following corner case:

The user can disable the dynamic interrupt throttle mechanism by setting
perf_cpu_time_max_percent to 0. Then they change perf_event_max_sample_rate.
For this case, the mechanism will be enabled implicitly, because
perf_sample_allowed_ns becomes !0 - which is not what we want.

This patch only updates perf_sample_allowed_ns when the dynamic
interrupt throttle mechanism is enabled.

      perf/core: Rename the perf_event_aux*() APIs to perf_event_sb*(), to separate them from AUX ring-buffer records

There are now two different things called AUX in perf, the
infrastructure to deliver the mmap/comm/task records and the
AUX part in the mmap buffer (with associated AUX_RECORD).

Since the former is internal, rename it to side-band to reduce
the confusion factor.

No change in functionality.

      perf/core: Optimize side-band event delivery · f2fb6bef
      由 Kan Liang 提交于 
      The perf_event_aux() function iterates all PMUs and all events in
their respective per-CPU contexts to find the events to deliver
side-band records to.

For example, the brk test case in lkp triggers many mmap() operations,
which, if we're also running perf, results in many perf_event_aux()
invocations.

If we enable uncore PMU support (even when uncore events are not used),
dozens of uncore PMUs will be iterated, which can significantly
decrease brk_test's throughput.

For example, the brk throughput:

  without uncore PMUs: 2647573 ops_per_sec
  with    uncore PMUs: 1768444 ops_per_sec

... a 33% reduction.

To get at the per-CPU events that need side-band records, this patch
puts these events on a per-CPU list, this avoids iterating the PMUs
and any events that do not need side-band records.

Per task events are unchanged to avoid extra overhead on the context
switch paths.

      perf ctf: Convert invalid chars in a string before set value · 5ea5888b
      由 Wang Nan 提交于 
      We observed some crazy apps on Android set their comm to unprintable
string. For example:

  # cat /proc/10607/task/*/comm
  tencent.qqmusic
  ...
  Binder_2
  日志输出线  <-- Chinese word 'log output thread'
  WifiManager
  ...

'perf data convert' fails to convert perf.data with such string to CTF format.

For example:

  # cat << EOF > ./badguy.c
  #include <sys/prctl.h>
  int main(int argc, char *argv[])
  {
         prctl(PR_SET_NAME, "\xe6\x97\xa5\xe5\xbf\x97\xe8\xbe\x93\xe5\x87\xba\xe7\xba\xbf");
         while(1)
                 sleep(1);
         return 0;
  }
  EOF
  # gcc ./badguy.c
  # perf record -e sched:* ./a.out
  # perf data convert --to-ctf ./bad.ctf
  CTF stream 4 flush failed
  [ perf data convert: Converted 'perf.data' into CTF data './bad.ctf' ]

This patch converts unprintable characters to hexadecimal word.

After applying this patch the above test works correctly:

Committer note:

To build perf with libabeltrace, use:

  $ mkdir -p /tmp/build/perf
  $ make LIBBABELTRACE=1 LIBBABELTRACE_DIR=/usr/local O=/tmp/build/perf -C tools/perf install-bin

Or equivalent (no O=, fixup LIBBABELTRACE_DIR, etc).

      perf record: Fix crash when kptr is restricted · 3dc6c1d5
      由 Wang Nan 提交于 
      Before this patch, a simple 'perf record' could fail if kptr_restrict is
set to 1 (for normal user) or 2 (for root):

  # perf record ls
  WARNING: Kernel address maps (/proc/{kallsyms,modules}) are restricted,
  check /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict.

  Samples in kernel functions may not be resolved if a suitable vmlinux
  file is not found in the buildid cache or in the vmlinux path.

  Samples in kernel modules won't be resolved at all.

  If some relocation was applied (e.g. kexec) symbols may be misresolved
  even with a suitable vmlinux or kallsyms file.

  Segmentation fault (core dumped)

This patch skips perf_event__synthesize_kernel_mmap() when kptr is not
available.
