      perf session: create_kernel_maps should use ->host_machine · d118f8ba
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 提交于
      Using machines__create_kernel_maps(..., HOST_KERNEL_ID) it would create
      another machine instance for the host machine, and since 1f626bc3 we have
      it out of the machines rb_tree.
      
      Fix it by using machine__create_kernel_maps(&self->host_machine)
      directly.

      Works by adding a third parameter to the '-g' argument, after the graph

      [root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]# perf report -g fractal,0.5,2
      
      Will show only the first two symbols where at least 0.5% of the samples
      took place.
      
      All the other symbols that don't fall outside these constraints will be
      put together in the last entry, prefixed with "[...]" and the total
      percentage for them.

      perf session: Embed the host machine data on perf_session · 1f626bc3
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 提交于
      We have just one host on a given session, and that is the most common
      setup right now, so embed a ->host_machine struct machine instance
      directly in the perf_session class, check if we're looking for it before
      going to the rb_tree.
      
      This also fixes a problem found when we try to process old perf.data
      files where we didn't have MMAP events for the kernel and modules and
      thus don't create the kernel maps, do it in event__preprocess_sample if
      it wasn't already.

      perf/live-mode: Handle payload-less events · 794e43b5
      Tom Zanussi 提交于
      Some events, such as the PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND event consist of
      only an event header and no data.  In this case, a 0-length payload
      will be read, and the 0 return value will be wrongly interpreted as an
      'unexpected end of event stream'.
      
      This patch allows for proper handling of data-less events by skipping
      0-length reads.

      perf: Provide a new deterministic events reordering algorithm · d6b17beb
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      The current events reordering algorithm is based on a heuristic that
      gets broken once we deal with a very fast flow of events.
      
      Indeed the time period based flushing is not suitable anymore
      in the following case, assuming we have a flush period of two
      seconds.
      
          CPU 0           |        CPU 1
                          |
        cnt1 timestamps   |      cnt1 timestamps
                          |
          0               |         0
          1               |         1
          2               |         2
          3               |         3
          [...]           |        [...]
          4 seconds later
      
      If we spend too much time to read the buffers (case of a lot of
      events to record in each buffers or when we have a lot of CPU buffers
      to read), in the next pass the CPU 0 buffer could contain a slice
      of several seconds of events. We'll read them all and notice we've
      reached the period to flush. In the above example we flush the first
      half of the CPU 0 buffer, then we read the CPU 1 buffer where we
      have events that were on the flush slice and then the reordering
      fails.
      
      It's simple to reproduce with:
      
      	perf lock record perf bench sched messaging
      
      To solve this, we use a new solution that doesn't rely on an
      heuristical time slice period anymore but on a deterministic basis
      based on how perf record does its job.
      
      perf record saves the buffers through passes. A pass is a tour
      on every buffers from every CPUs. This is made in order: for
      each CPU we read the buffers of every counters. So the more
      buffers we visit, the later will be the timstamps of their events.
      
      When perf record finishes a pass it records a
      PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND pseudo event.
      We record the max timestamp t found in the pass n. Assuming these
      timestamps are monotonic across cpus, we know that if a buffer
      still has events with timestamps below t, they will be all available
      and then read in the pass n + 1.
      Hence when we start to read the pass n + 2, we can safely flush every
      events with timestamps below t.
      
            ============ PASS n =================
               CPU 0         |   CPU 1

            cnt1 timestamps  |   cnt2 timestamps

      It also works on perf.data versions that don't have
      PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND pseudo events. The difference is that
      the events will be only flushed in the end of the perf.data
      processing. It will then consume more memory and scale less with
      large perf.data files.

      perf: Introduce a new "round of buffers read" pseudo event · 98402807
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      In order to provide a more rubust and deterministic reordering
      algorithm, we need to know when we reach a point where we just
      did a pass through over every counter buffers to read every thing
      they had.
      
      This patch introduces a new PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND pseudo event
      that only consist in an event header and doesn't need to contain

      perf, x86: Improve the PEBS ABI · ab608344
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      Rename perf_event_attr::precise to perf_event_attr::precise_ip and
      widen it to 2 bits. This new field describes the required precision of
      the PERF_SAMPLE_IP field:
      
        0 - SAMPLE_IP can have arbitrary skid
        1 - SAMPLE_IP must have constant skid
        2 - SAMPLE_IP requested to have 0 skid
        3 - SAMPLE_IP must have 0 skid
      
      And modify the Intel PEBS code accordingly. The PEBS implementation
      now supports up to precise_ip == 2, where we perform the IP fixup.
      
      Also s/PERF_RECORD_MISC_EXACT/&_IP/ to clarify its meaning, this bit
      should be set for each PERF_SAMPLE_IP field known to match the actual
      instruction triggering the event.
      
      This new scheme allows for a PEBS mode that uses the buffer for more
      than a single event.

      perf: Fix performance issue with perf report · 02bf60aa
      Anton Blanchard 提交于
      On a large machine we spend a lot of time in perf_header__find_attr when
      running perf report.
      
      If we are parsing a file without PERF_SAMPLE_ID then for each sample we call
      perf_header__find_attr and loop through all counter IDs, never finding a match.
      As the machine gets larger there are more per cpu counters and we spend an
      awful lot of time in there.
      
      The patch below initialises each sample id to -1ULL and checks for this in
      perf_header__find_attr. We may need to do something more intelligent eventually
      (eg a hash lookup from counter id to attr) but this at least fixes the most
      common usage of perf report.

      perf: record TRACE_INFO only if using tracepoints and SAMPLE_RAW · 63e0c771
      Tom Zanussi 提交于
      The current perf code implicitly assumes SAMPLE_RAW means tracepoints
      are being used, but doesn't check for that.  It happily records the
      TRACE_INFO even if SAMPLE_RAW is used without tracepoints, but when the
      perf data is read it won't go any further when it finds TRACE_INFO but
      no tracepoints, and displays misleading errors.
      
      This adds a check for both in perf-record, and won't record TRACE_INFO
      unless both are true.  This at least allows perf report -D to dump raw
      events, and avoids triggering a misleading error condition in perf
      trace.  It doesn't actually enable the non-tracepoint raw events to be
      displayed in perf trace, since perf trace currently only deals with
      tracepoint events.

      perf: add perf-inject builtin · 454c407e
      Tom Zanussi 提交于
      Currently, perf 'live mode' writes build-ids at the end of the
      session, which isn't actually useful for processing live mode events.
      
      What would be better would be to have the build-ids sent before any of
      the samples that reference them, which can be done by processing the
      event stream and retrieving the build-ids on the first hit.  Doing
      that in perf-record itself, however, is off-limits.
      
      This patch introduces perf-inject, which does the same job while
      leaving perf-record untouched.  Normal mode perf still records the
      build-ids at the end of the session as it should, but for live mode,
      perf-inject can be injected in between the record and report steps
      e.g.:
      
      perf record -o - ./hackbench 10 | perf inject -v -b | perf report -v -i -
      
      perf-inject reads a perf-record event stream and repipes it to stdout.
      At any point the processing code can inject other events into the
      event stream - in this case build-ids (-b option) are read and
      injected as needed into the event stream.
      
      Build-ids are just the first user of perf-inject - potentially
      anything that needs userspace processing to augment the trace stream
      with additional information could make use of this facility.

      perf: Fix warning while reading ring buffer headers · d00a47cc
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      commit e9e94e3b
      "perf trace: Ignore "overwrite" field if present in
      /events/header_page" makes perf trace launching spurious warnings
      about unexpected tokens read:
      
      	Warning: Error: expected type 6 but read 4
      
      This change tries to handle the overcommit field in the header_page
      file whenever this field is present or not.
      
      The problem is that if this field is not present, we try to find it
      and give up in the middle of the line when we realize we are actually
      dealing with another field, which is the "data" one. And this failure
      abandons the file pointer in the middle of the "data" description
      line:
      
      	field: u64 timestamp;	offset:0;	size:8;	signed:0;
      	field: local_t commit;	offset:8;	size:8;	signed:1;
      	field: char data;	offset:16;	size:4080;	signed:1;
                            ^^^
                            Here
      
      What happens next is that we want to read this line to parse the data
      field, but we fail because the pointer is not in the beginning of the
      line.
      
      We could probably fix that by rewinding the pointer. But in fact we
      don't care much about these headers that only concern the ftrace
      ring-buffer. We don't use them from perf.
      
      Just skip this part of perf.data, but don't remove it from recording
      to stay compatible with olders perf.data

      So it run just one test, that is "vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms", and it was
      successful.
      
      If we run it in verbose mode, we'll see details about errors and extra warnings
      for non-fatal problems:
      
      [acme@doppio linux-2.6-tip]$ perf test -v
       1: vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms:

      No build_id in /boot/vmlinux-2.6.34-rc4-tip+, ignoring it
      Using /lib/modules/2.6.34-rc4-tip+/build/vmlinux for symbols
      Maps only in vmlinux:

       ffffffffff600800-ffffffffffffffff 0 [kernel].vsyscall_2
      Maps in vmlinux with a different name in kallsyms:
       ffffffffff600000-ffffffffff6000ff 0 [kernel].vsyscall_0 in kallsyms as [kernel].0
       ffffffffff600100-ffffffffff6003ff 0 [kernel].vsyscall_fn in kallsyms as:
      *ffffffffff600100-ffffffffff60012f 0 [kernel].2
       ffffffffff600400-ffffffffff6007ff 0 [kernel].vsyscall_1 in kallsyms as [kernel].6
       ffffffffff600800-ffffffffffffffff 0 [kernel].vsyscall_2 in kallsyms as [kernel].8
      Maps only in kallsyms:
       ffffffffff600130-ffffffffff6003ff 0 [kernel].4
      ---- end ----
      vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms: Ok
      [acme@doppio linux-2.6-tip]$
      
      In the above case we only know the name of the non contiguous kernel ranges in
      the address space when reading the symbol information from the ELF symtab in
      vmlinux.
      
      The /proc/kallsyms file lack this, we only notice they are separate because
      there are modules after the kernel and after that more kernel functions, so we
      need to have a module rbtree backed by the module .ko path to get symtabs in
      the vmlinux case.
      
      The tool uses it to match by address to emit appropriate warning, but don't
      considers this fatal.
      
      The .init.text and .exit.text ines, of course, aren't in kallsyms, so I left
      these cases just as extra info in verbose mode.
      
      The end of the sections also aren't in kallsyms, so we the symbols layer does
      another pass and sets the end addresses as the next map start minus one, which
      sometimes pads, causing harmless mismatches.
      
      But at least the symbols match, tested it by copying /proc/kallsyms to
      /tmp/kallsyms and doing changes to see if they were detected.
      
      This first test also should serve as a first stab at documenting the
      symbol library by providing a self contained example that exercises it
      together with comments about what is being done.
      
      More tests to check if actions done on a monitored app, like doing mmaps, etc,
      makes the kernel generate the expected events should be added next.
