      perf record: Record the first and last sample time in the header · 68588baf
      由 Jin Yao 提交于 
      In the default 'perf record' configuration, all samples are processed,
to create the HEADER_BUILD_ID table. So it's very easy to get the
first/last samples and save the time to perf file header via the
function write_sample_time().

Later, at post processing time, perf report/script will fetch the time
from perf file header.

Committer testing:

  # perf record -a sleep 1

Changelog:

v7: Just update the patch description according to Arnaldo's suggestion.

v6: Currently '--buildid-all' is not enabled at default. So the walking
    on all samples is the default operation. There is no big overhead
    to calculate the timestamp boundary in process_sample_event handler
    once we already go through all samples. So the timestamp boundary
    calculation is enabled by default when '--buildid-all' is not enabled.

    While if '--buildid-all' is enabled, we creates a new option
    "--timestamp-boundary" for user to decide if it enables the
    timestamp boundary calculation.

v5: There is an issue that the sample walking can only work when
    '--buildid-all' is not enabled. So we need to let the walking
    be able to work even if '--buildid-all' is enabled and let the
    processing skips the dso hit marking for this case.

    At first, I want to provide a new option "--record-time-boundaries".
    While after consideration, I think a new option is not very
    necessary.

v3: Remove the definitions of first_sample_time and last_sample_time
    from struct record and directly save them in perf_evlist.

      perf tools: Add PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES to include namespaces related info · f3b3614a
      由 Hari Bathini 提交于 
      Introduce a new option to record PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES events emitted
by the kernel when fork, clone, setns or unshare are invoked. And update
perf-record documentation with the new option to record namespace
events.

Committer notes:

Combined it with a later patch to allow printing it via 'perf report -D'
and be able to test the feature introduced in this patch. Had to move
here also perf_ns__name(), that was introduced in another later patch.

Also used PRIu64 and PRIx64 to fix the build in some enfironments wrt:

  util/event.c:1129:39: error: format '%lx' expects argument of type 'long unsigned int', but argument 6 has type 'long long unsigned int' [-Werror=format=]

      perf record: Add --tail-synthesize option · 4ea648ae
      由 Wang Nan 提交于 
      When working with overwritable ring buffer there's a inconvenience
problem: if perf dumps data after a long period after it starts,
non-sample events may lost, which makes following 'perf report' unable
to identify proc name and mmap layout. For example:

 # perf record -m 4 -e raw_syscalls:* -g --overwrite --switch-output \
        dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null

send SIGUSR2 after dd runs long enough. The resuling perf.data lost
correct comm and mmap events:

 # perf script -i perf.data.2016061522374354
 perf 24478 [004] 2581325.601789:  raw_syscalls:sys_exit: NR 0 = 512

             Fail to unwind

This patch provides a '--tail-synthesize' option, allows perf to collect
system status when finalizing output file. In resuling output file, the
non-sample events reflect system status when dumping data.

After this patch:
 # perf record -m 4 -e raw_syscalls:* -g --overwrite --switch-output --tail-synthesize \
        dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null

 # perf script -i perf.data.2016061600544998

                    ^^^^^
                    Correct unwind

This option doesn't aim to solve this problem completely. If a process
terminates before SIGUSR2, we still lost its COMM and MMAP events. For
example, we can't unwind correctly from the final perf.data we get from
the previous example, because when perf collects the final output file
(when we press C-c), 'dd' has been terminated so its '/proc/<pid>/mmap'
becomes empty.

However, this is a cheaper choice. To completely solve this problem we
need to continously output non-sample events. To satisify the
requirement of daemonization, we need to merge them periodically. It is
possible but requires much more code and cycles.

Automatically select --tail-synthesize when --overwrite is provided.

      perf tools: Enable overwrite settings · 626a6b78
      由 Wang Nan 提交于 
      This patch allows following config terms and option:

Globally setting events to overwrite;

  # perf record --overwrite ...

Set specific events to be overwrite or no-overwrite.

  # perf record --event cycles/overwrite/ ...
  # perf record --event cycles/no-overwrite/ ...

Add missing config terms and update the config term array size because
the longest string length has changed.

For overwritable events, it automatically selects attr.write_backward
since perf requires it to be backward for reading.

Test result:

      perf record: Add record.build-id config option · 7a29c087
      由 Namhyung Kim 提交于 
      Post processing at 'perf record' takes a long time on big machines.

What it does is to find the build-id of binaries found in the event
stream, so that it can make sure, at 'report' time, that the symtabs (be
it ELF, kallsyms, etc) being used to resolve symbols are the ones
matching the binaries found at 'record' time.

Sometimes we just want to skip this processing of events at the end of
the session to get quicker results, making sure the binaries haven't
changed from 'record' to 'report' time.

Add a new config option to control this behavior.

The record.build-id config variable can have one of the following
values:

 - cache: post-process data and save/update the binaries into the
          build-id cache (in ~/.debug).  This is the default.
 - no-cache: post-process the data but not update the build-id cache.
             Same effect as using the -N option.
 - skip: skip post-processing and do not update the cache.
         Same effect as using the -B option.

'perf record' needs vmlinux as the source of DWARF info to generate

      perf tools: Improve call graph documents and help messages · 76a26549
      由 Namhyung Kim 提交于 
      The --call-graph option is complex so we should provide better guide for
users.  Also change help message to be consistent with config option
names.  Now perf top will show help like below:

  $ perf top --call-graph
    Error: option `call-graph' requires a value

   Usage: perf top [<options>]

      --call-graph <record_mode[,record_size],print_type,threshold[,print_limit],order,sort_key[,branch]>
           setup and enables call-graph (stack chain/backtrace):

		record_mode:	call graph recording mode (fp|dwarf|lbr)
		record_size:	if record_mode is 'dwarf', max size of stack recording (<bytes>)
				default: 8192 (bytes)
		print_type:	call graph printing style (graph|flat|fractal|none)
		threshold:	minimum call graph inclusion threshold (<percent>)
		print_limit:	maximum number of call graph entry (<number>)
		order:		call graph order (caller|callee)
		sort_key:	call graph sort key (function|address)
		branch:		include last branch info to call graph (branch)

		Default: fp,graph,0.5,caller,function

      perf record: Add ability to name registers to record · bcc84ec6
      由 Stephane Eranian 提交于 
      This patch modifies the -I/--int-regs option to enablepassing the name
of the registers to sample on interrupt. Registers can be specified by
their symbolic names. For instance on x86, --intr-regs=ax,si.

The motivation is to reduce the size of the perf.data file and the
overhead of sampling by only collecting the registers useful to a
specific analysis. For instance, for value profiling, sampling only the
registers used to passed arguements to functions.

With no parameter, the --intr-regs still records all possible registers
based on the architecture.

To name registers, it is necessary to use the long form of the option,
i.e., --intr-regs:

  $ perf record --intr-regs=si,di,r8,r9 .....

To record any possible registers:

  $ perf record -I .....
  $ perf report --intr-regs ...

To display the register, one can use perf report -D

To list the available registers:

  $ perf record --intr-regs=\?
  available registers: AX BX CX DX SI DI BP SP IP FLAGS CS SS R8 R9 R10 R11 R12 R13 R14 R15

      perf callchain: Per-event type selection support · d457c963
      由 Kan Liang 提交于 
      This patchkit adds the ability to set callgraph mode (fp, dwarf, lbr) per
event. This in term can reduce sampling overhead and the size of the
perf.data.

Here is an example.

  perf record -e 'cpu/cpu-cycles,period=1000,call-graph=fp,time=1/,cpu/instructions,call-graph=lbr/' sleep 1

 perf evlist -v
 cpu/cpu-cycles,period=1000,call-graph=fp,time=1/: type: 4, size: 112,

      perf tools: Force period term to overload global settings · ee4c7588
      由 Jiri Olsa 提交于 
      Currently the command line option settings beats the per event period
settings:

With no global settings, we get per-event configuration:

  $ perf record -e 'cpu/instructions,period=20000/' sleep 1
  $ perf evlist -v
  ... { sample_period, sample_freq }: 20000 ...

With 'c' option period setup, we get 'c' option value:
  $ perf record -e 'cpu/instructions,period=20000/' -c 1000 sleep 1
  $ perf evlist -v
  ... { sample_period, sample_freq }: 1000 ...

This patch makes the per-event settings overload the global 'c' option
setup:

  $ perf record -e 'cpu/instructions,period=20000/' -c 1000 sleep 1
  $ perf evlist -v
  ... { sample_period, sample_freq }: 20000 ...

I think the making the per-event settings to overload any other config
makes more sense than current state. However it breaks the current
'period' term handling, which might cause some noise.. so let's see ;-).

Also fixing parse event tests with the new behaviour.

      perf record: Allow filtering perf's pid via --exclude-perf · 4ba1faa1
      由 Wang Nan 提交于 
      This patch allows 'perf record' to exclude events issued by perf itself
by '--exclude-perf' option.

Before this patch, when doing something like:

 # perf record -a -e syscalls:sys_enter_write <cmd>

One could easily get result like this:

 # /tmp/perf report --stdio
 ...
  # Overhead  Command  Shared Object       Symbol
  # ........  .......  ..................  ....................
  #
      99.99%  perf     libpthread-2.18.so  [.] __write_nocancel
      0.01%   ls       libc-2.18.so        [.] write
      0.01%   sshd     libc-2.18.so        [.] write
 ...

Where most events are generated by perf itself.

A shell trick can be done to filter perf itself out:

 # cat << EOF > ./tmp
 > #!/bin/sh
 > exec perf record -e ... --filter="common_pid != \$\$" -a sleep 10
 > EOF
 # chmod a+x ./tmp
 # ./tmp

However, doing so is user unfriendly.

This patch extracts evsel iteration framework introduced by patch 'perf
record: Apply filter to all events in a glob matching' into
foreach_evsel_in_last_glob(), and makes exclude_perf() function append
new filter expression to each evsel selected by a '-e' selector.

To avoid losing filters if user pass '--filter' after '--exclude-perf',
this patch uses perf_evsel__append_filter() in both case, instead of
perf_evsel__set_filter() which removes old filter. As a side effect, now
it is possible to use multiple '--filter' option for one selector. They
are combinded with '&&'.
