      perf tools: Fix sparse CPU numbering related bugs · a12b51c4
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      At present, the perf subcommands that do system-wide monitoring
      (perf stat, perf record and perf top) don't work properly unless
      the online cpus are numbered 0, 1, ..., N-1.  These tools ask
      for the number of online cpus with sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN)
      and then try to create events for cpus 0, 1, ..., N-1.
      
      This creates problems for systems where the online cpus are
      numbered sparsely.  For example, a POWER6 system in
      single-threaded mode (i.e. only running 1 hardware thread per
      core) will have only even-numbered cpus online.
      
      This fixes the problem by reading the /sys/devices/system/cpu/online
      file to find out which cpus are online.  The code that does that is in
      tools/perf/util/cpumap.[ch], and consists of a read_cpu_map()
      function that sets up a cpumap[] array and returns the number of
      online cpus.  If /sys/devices/system/cpu/online can't be read or
      can't be parsed successfully, it falls back to using sysconf to
      ask how many cpus are online and sets up an identity map in cpumap[].
      
      The perf record, perf stat and perf top code then calls
      read_cpu_map() in the system-wide monitoring case (instead of
      sysconf) and uses cpumap[] to get the cpu numbers to pass to
      perf_event_open.

      perf record: Encode the domain while synthesizing MMAP events · 18c3daa4
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 提交于
      In the past 'perf record' had to process only userspace MMAP
      events, the ones generated in the kernel, but after we reused
      the MMAP events to encode the module mapings we ended up adding
      them first to the list of userspace DSOs (dsos__user) and to the
      kernel one (dsos__kernel).
      
      Fix this by encoding the header.misc field and then using it,
      like other parts to decide the right DSOs list to insert/find.
      
      The gotcha here is that since the kernel puts zero in .misc,
      which isn't PERF_RECORD_MISC_KERNEL (1 << 1), to differentiate,
      we put 1 in .misc.

      perf tools: Encode kernel module mappings in perf.data · b7cece76
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 提交于
      We were always looking at the running machine /proc/modules,
      even when processing a perf.data file, which only makes sense
      when we're doing 'perf record' and 'perf report' on the same
      machine, and in close sucession, or if we don't use modules at
      all, right Peter? ;-)
      
      Now, at 'perf record' time we read /proc/modules, find the long
      path for modules, and put them as PERF_MMAP events, just like we
      did to encode the reloc reference symbol for vmlinux. Talking
      about that now it is encoded in .pgoff, so that we can use
      .{start,len} to store the address boundaries for the kernel so
      that when we reconstruct the kmaps tree we can do lookups right
      away, without having to fixup the end of the kernel maps like we
      did in the past (and now only in perf record).
      
      One more step in the 'perf archive' direction when we'll finally
      be able to collect data in one machine and analyse in another.

      perf tools: Handle relocatable kernels · 56b03f3c
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 提交于
      DSOs don't have this problem because the kernel emits a
      PERF_MMAP for each new executable mapping it performs on
      monitored threads.
      
      To fix the kernel case we simulate the same behaviour, by having
      'perf record' to synthesize a PERF_MMAP for the kernel, encoded
      like this:
      
      [root@doppio ~]# perf record -a -f sleep 1
      [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
      [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.344 MB perf.data (~15038 samples) ]
      [root@doppio ~]# perf report -D | head -10
      
      0xd0 [0x40]: event: 1
      .
      . ... raw event: size 64 bytes
      .  0000:  01 00 00 00 00 00 40 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ......@........
      .  0010:  00 00 00 81 ff ff ff ff 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ...............
      .  0020:  00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 5b 6b 65 72 6e 65 6c 2e ........  [kernel
      .  0030:  6b 61 6c 6c 73 79 6d 73 2e 5f 74 65 78 74 5d 00  kallsyms._text]
      .  0xd0
      [0x40]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP 0/0: [0xffffffff81000000((nil)) @ (nil)]: [kernel.kallsyms._text]
      
      I.e. we identify such event as having:
      
       .pid      = 0
       .filename = [kernel.kallsyms.REFNAME]
       .start    = REFNAME addr in /proc/kallsyms at 'perf record' time
      
      and use now a hardcoded value of '.text' for REFNAME.
      
      Then, later, in 'perf report', if there are any kernel hits and
      thus we need to resolve kernel symbols, we search for REFNAME
      and if its address changed, relocation happened and we thus must
      change the kernel mapping routines to one that uses .pgoff as
      the relocation to apply.
      
      This way we use the same mechanism used for the other DSOs and
      don't have to do a two pass in all the kernel symbols.

      perf session: Move kmaps to perf_session · 4aa65636
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 提交于
      There is still some more work to do to disentangle map creation
      from DSO loading, but this happens only for the kernel, and for
      the early adopters of perf diff, where this disentanglement
      matters most, we'll be testing different kernels, so no problem
      here.
      
      Further clarification: right now we create the kernel maps for
      the various modules and discontiguous kernel text maps when
      loading the DSO, we should do it as a two step process, first
      creating the maps, for multiple mappings with the same DSO
      store, then doing the dso load just once, for the first hit on
      one of the maps sharing this DSO backing store.

      perf symbols: Use the buildids if present · 8d06367f
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 提交于
      With this change 'perf record' will intercept PERF_RECORD_MMAP
      calls, creating a linked list of DSOs, then when the session
      finishes, it will traverse this list and read the buildids,
      stashing them at the end of the file and will set up a new
      feature bit in the header bitmask.
      
      'perf report' will then notice this feature and populate the
      'dsos' list and set the build ids.
      
      When reading the symtabs it will refuse to load from a file that
      doesn't have the same build id. This improves the
      reliability of the profiler output, as symbols and profiling
      data is more guaranteed to match.

      In this case the 'perf' binary was an older one, vanished,
      so its symbols probably wouldn't match or would cause subtly
      different (and misleading) output.
      
      Next patches will support the kernel as well, reading the build
      id notes for it and the modules from /sys.
      
      Another patch should also introduce a new plumbing command:
      
      'perf list-buildids'
      
      that will then be used in porcelain that is distro specific to
      fetch -debuginfo packages where such buildids are present. This
      will in turn allow for one to run 'perf record' in one machine
      and 'perf report' in another.
      
      Future work on having the buildid sent directly from the kernel
      in the PERF_RECORD_MMAP event is needed to close races, as the
      DSO can be changed during a 'perf record' session, but this
      patch at least helps with non-corner cases and current/older
      kernels.

      perf tools: Unify debug messages mechanisms · 6beba7ad
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 提交于
      We were using eprintf in some places, that looks at a global
      'verbose' level, and at other places passing a 'v' parameter to
      specify the verbosity level, unify it by introducing
      pr_{err,warning,debug,etc}, just like in the kernel.

      perf tools: Introduce bitmask'ed additional headers · 2ba08250
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      This provides a new set of bitmasked headers. A new field is
      added in the perf headers that implements a bitmap storing
      optional features present in the perf.data file.
      
      The layout can be pictured like this:
      
      (Usual perf headers)(Features bitmap)[Feature 0][Feature
      n][Feature 255]
      
      If the bit n is set, then the feature n is used in this file.
      They are all set in order. This brings a backward and forward
      compatibility.
      
      The trace_info section has moved into such optional features,
      this is the first and only one for now.
      
      This is backward compatible with the .32 file version although
      it doesn't support the previous separate trace.info file.
      
      And finally it doesn't support the current interim development
      version.
