      perf kmem: Resolve kernel symbols again · e727ca73
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 提交于
      Due to the assumption in perf_session__new that the kernel maps would be
      created using the fake PERF_RECORD_MMAP event in a perf.data file 'perf
      kmem --stat caller', that doesn't have such event, ends up not being
      able to resolve the kernel addresses.
      
      Fix it by calling perf_session__create_kernel_maps() in __cmd_kmem().

      perf report: Add progress bars · 5f4d3f88
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 提交于
      For when we are processing the events and inserting the entries in the
      browser.
      
      Experimentation here: naming "ui_something" we may be treading into
      creating a TUI/GUI set of routines that can then be implemented in terms
      of multiple backends.
      
      Also the time it takes for adding things to the "browser" takes, visually
      (I guess I should do some profiling here ;-) ), more time than for
      processing the events...
      
      That means we probably need to create a custom hist_entry browser, so
      that we reuse the structures we have in place instead of duplicating
      them in newt.
      
      But progress was made and at least we can see something while long files
      are being loaded, that must be one of UI 101 bullet points :-)

      perf report: Implement initial UI using newt · f9224c5c
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 提交于
      Newt has widespread availability and provides a rather simple
      API as can be seen by the size of this patch.
      
      The work needed to support it will benefit other frontends too.
      
      In this initial patch it just checks if the output is a tty, if
      not it falls back to the previous behaviour, also if
      newt-devel/libnewt-dev is not installed the previous behaviour
      is maintaned.
      
      Pressing enter on a symbol will annotate it, ESC in the
      annotation window will return to the report symbol list.
      
      More work will be done to remove the special casing in
      color_fprintf, stop using fmemopen/FILE in the printing of
      hist_entries, etc.
      
      Also the annotation doesn't need to be done via spawning "perf
      annotate" and then browsing its output, we can do better by
      calling directly the builtin-annotate.c functions, that would
      then be moved to tools/perf/util/annotate.c and shared with perf
      top, etc
      
      But lets go by baby steps, this patch already improves perf
      usability by allowing to quickly do annotations on symbols from
      the report screen and provides a first experimentation with
      libnewt/TUI integration of tools.
      
      Tested on RHEL5 and Fedora12 X86_64 and on Debian PARISC64 to
      browse a perf.data file collected on a Fedora12 x86_64 box.

      perf record: Stop intercepting events, use postprocessing to get build-ids · 6122e4e4
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 提交于
      We want to stream events as fast as possible to perf.data, and
      also in the future we want to have splice working, when no
      interception will be possible.
      
      Using build_id__mark_dso_hit_ops to create the list of DSOs that
      back MMAPs we also optimize disk usage in the build-id cache by
      only caching DSOs that had hits.

      perf symbols: Remove perf_session usage in symbols layer · 9de89fe7
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 提交于
      I noticed while writing the first test in 'perf regtest' that to
      just test the symbol handling routines one needs to create a
      perf session, that is a layer centered on a perf.data file,
      events, etc, so I untied these layers.
      
      This reduces the complexity for the users as the number of
      parameters to most of the symbols and session APIs now was
      reduced while not adding more state to all the map instances by
      only having data that is needed to split the kernel (kallsyms
      and ELF symtab sections) maps and do vmlinux relocation on the
      main kernel map.

      There are still some problems related to loading vmlinux files,

      patch, so will get fixed in the next patches, but here are some
      results:
      
      1. collect perf.data file on a Fedora 12 machine, x86_64, 64-bit

      2. transfer it to a Debian Testing machine, PARISC64, 32-bit

      So I think this is really, really nice in that it demonstrates
      the portability of perf.data files and the use of build-ids
      accross such aliens worlds :-)
      
      There are some things to fix tho, like the bitmap on the header,
      but things are looking good.

      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.

      So that tools such as 'perf probe' don't have to lookup
      '[kernel.kallsyms]' but instead access them directly after
      perf_session__create_kernel_maps or
      map_groups__create_kernel_maps.

      perf tools: Introduce perf_session class · 94c744b6
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 提交于
      That does all the initialization boilerplate, opening the file,
      reading the header, checking if it is valid, etc.
      
      And that will as well have the threads list, kmap (now) global
      variable, etc, so that we can handle two (or more) perf.data files
      describing sessions to compare.
