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.

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.

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'.

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 1 | 2 2 | 3 - | 4 <--- max recorded ============ PASS n + 1 ============== CPU 0 | CPU 1 | cnt1 timestamps | cnt2 timestamps 3 | 5 4 | 6 5 | 7 <---- max recorded Flush every events below timestamp 4 ============ PASS n + 2 ============== CPU 0 | CPU 1 | cnt1 timestamps | cnt2 timestamps 6 | 8 7 | 9 - | 10 Flush every events below timestamp 7 etc... 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.

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.

Fix a couple of inefficiencies and redundancies related to have_tracepoints() and its use when checking whether to write TRACE_INFO. First, there's no need to use get_tracepoints_path() in have_tracepoints() - we really just want the part that checks whether any attributes correspondo to tracepoints. Second, we really don't care about raw_samples per se - tracepoints are always raw_samples. In any case, the have_tracepoints() check should be sufficient to decide whether or not to write TRACE_INFO.

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.

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.

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.

It doesn't really make sense to record the build ids at the end of a live mode session - live mode samples need that information during the trace rather than at the end. Leave event__synthesize_build_id() in place, however; we'll still be using that to synthesize build ids in a more timely fashion in a future patch.

We need to refactor code to be explicitely shared by the kernel and at least the tools/ userspace programs, so, till we do that, copy the bare minimum bitmap/bitops code needed by tools/perf.

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 Signed-off-by: NFrederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

-f, -c 1, -R are now useless for trace events recording, moreover -M is useless and event hurts. Remove them from the documentation examples and from record scripts.

First an example with the first internal test: [acme@doppio linux-2.6-tip]$ perf test 1: vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms: Ok 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: --- start --- Looking at the vmlinux_path (5 entries long) No build_id in vmlinux, ignoring it No build_id in /boot/vmlinux, ignoring it 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: ffffffff81cb81b1-ffffffff81e1149b 0 [kernel].init.text ffffffff81e1149c-ffffffff9fffffff 0 [kernel].exit.text ffffffffff600000-ffffffffff6000ff 0 [kernel].vsyscall_0 ffffffffff600100-ffffffffff6003ff 0 [kernel].vsyscall_fn ffffffffff600400-ffffffffff6007ff 0 [kernel].vsyscall_1 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.

Now those methods don't operate on a global list of dsos, but on lists of machines, so make this clear by renaming the functions.
