      perf tools: Make perf.data more self-descriptive (v8) · fbe96f29
      Stephane Eranian 提交于
      The goal of this patch is to include more information about the host
      environment into the perf.data so it is more self-descriptive. Overtime,
      profiles are captured on various machines and it becomes hard to track
      what was recorded, on what machine and when.
      
      This patch provides a way to solve this by extending the perf.data file
      with basic information about the host machine. To add those extensions,
      we leverage the feature bits capabilities of the perf.data format.  The
      change is backward compatible with existing perf.data files.
      
      We define the following useful new extensions:
       - HEADER_HOSTNAME: the hostname
       - HEADER_OSRELEASE: the kernel release number
       - HEADER_ARCH: the hw architecture
       - HEADER_CPUDESC: generic CPU description
       - HEADER_NRCPUS: number of online/avail cpus
       - HEADER_CMDLINE: perf command line
       - HEADER_VERSION: perf version
       - HEADER_TOPOLOGY: cpu topology
       - HEADER_EVENT_DESC: full event description (attrs)
       - HEADER_CPUID: easy-to-parse low level CPU identication
      
      The small granularity for the entries is to make it easier to extend
      without breaking backward compatiblity. Many entries are provided as
      ASCII strings.
      
      Perf report/script have been modified to print the basic information as
      easy-to-parse ASCII strings. Extended information about CPU and NUMA
      topology may be requested with the -I option.
      
      Thanks to David Ahern for reviewing and testing the many versions of
      this patch.

      perf report/annotate/script: Add option to specify a CPU range · 5d67be97
      Anton Blanchard 提交于
      Add an option to perf report/annotate/script to specify which
      CPUs to operate on. This enables us to take a single system wide
      profile and analyse each CPU (or group of CPUs) in isolation.
      
      This was useful when profiling a multiprocess workload where the
      bottleneck was on one CPU but this was hidden in the overall
      profile. Per process and per thread breakdowns didn't help
      because multiple processes were running on each CPU and no
      single process consumed an entire CPU.
      
      The patch converts the list of CPUs returned by cpu_map__new
      into a bitmap for fast lookup. I wanted to use -C to be
      consistent with perf top/record/stat, but unfortunately perf
      report already uses -C <comms>.
      
       v2: Incorporate suggestions from David Ahern:
      	- Added -c to perf script
      	- Check that SAMPLE_CPU is set when -c is used
      	- Update documentation
      
       v3: Create perf_session__cpu_bitmap()

      in the inverted report (with caller option), the call graph start
      from the callee's ancestor. Users can use such view to catch system's
      performance bottleneck from a sysprof like view. Using this option
      with specified sort order like pid gives us high level view of call
      graph statistics.

      perf evlist: Don't die if sample_{id_all|type} is invalid · c2a70653
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 提交于
      Fixes two more cases where the python binding would not load:
      
      . Not finding die(), which it shouldn't anyway, not good to just stop the
        world because some particular perf.data file is invalid, just propagate
        the error to the caller.
      
      . Not finding perf_sample_size: fix it by moving it from event.c to evsel,
        where it belongs, as most cases are moving to operate on an evsel object.o
      
      One of the fixed problems:
      
      [root@emilia ~]# python

      Traceback (most recent call last):

      perf session: Pass evsel in event_ops->sample() · 9e69c210
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 提交于
      Resolving the sample->id to an evsel since the most advanced tools,
      report and annotate, and the others will too when they evolve to
      properly support multi-event perf.data files.
      
      Good also because it does an extra validation, checking that the ID is
      valid when present. When that is not the case, the overhead is just a
      branch + function call (perf_evlist__id2evsel).

      perf tools: Improve support for sessions with multiple events · e248de33

      By creating an perf_evlist out of the attributes in the perf.data file
      header, so that we can use evlists and evsels when reading recorded
      sessions in addition to when we record sessions.
      
      More work is needed to allow tools to allow the user to select which
      events are wanted when browsing sessions, be it just one or a subset of
      them, aggregated or showed at the same time but with different
      indications on the UI to allow seeing workloads thru different views at
      the same time.
      
      But the overall goal/trend is to more uniformly use evsels and evlists.

      perf callchain: Feed callchains into a cursor · 1b3a0e95
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      The callchains are fed with an array of a fixed size.
      As a result we iterate over each callchains three times:
      
      - 1st to resolve symbols
      - 2nd to filter out context boundaries
      - 3rd for the insertion into the tree
      
      This also involves some pairs of memory allocation/deallocation
      everytime we insert a callchain, for the filtered out array of
      addresses and for the array of symbols that comes along.
      
      Instead, feed the callchains through a linked list with persistent
      allocations. It brings several pros like:
      
      - Merge the 1st and 2nd iterations in one. That was possible before
      but in a way that would involve allocating an array slightly taller
      than necessary because we don't know in advance the number of context
      boundaries to filter out.
      
      - Much lesser allocations/deallocations. The linked list keeps
      persistent empty entries for the next usages and is extendable at
      will.
      
      - Makes it easier for multiple sources of callchains to feed a
      stacktrace together. This is deemed to pave the way for cfi based
      callchains wherein traditional frame pointer based kernel
      stacktraces will precede cfi based user ones, producing an overall
      callchain which size is hardly predictable. This requirement
      makes the static array obsolete and makes a linked list based
      iterator a much more flexible fit.
      
      Basic testing on a big perf file containing callchains (~ 176 MB)
      has shown a throughput gain of about 11% with perf report.

      perf session: Fallback to unordered processing if no sample_id_all · 21ef97f0
      Ian Munsie 提交于
      If we are running the new perf on an old kernel without support for
      sample_id_all, we should fall back to the old unordered processing of
      events. If we didn't than we would *always* process events without
      timestamps out of order, whether or not we hit a reordering race. In
      other words, instead of there being a chance of not attributing samples
      correctly, we would guarantee that samples would not be attributed.
      
      While processing all events without timestamps before events with
      timestamps may seem like an intuitive solution, it falls down as
      PERF_RECORD_EXIT events would also be processed before any samples.
      Even with a workaround for that case, samples before/after an exec would
      not be attributed correctly.
      
      This patch allows commands to indicate whether they need to fall back to
      unordered processing, so that commands that do not care about timestamps
      on every event will not be affected. If we do fallback, this will print
      out a warning if report -D was invoked.
      
      This patch adds the test in perf_session__new so that we only need to
      test once per session. Commands that do not use an event_ops (such as
      record and top) can simply pass NULL in it's place.

      perf session: Sort all events if ordered_samples=true · cbf41645
      Thomas Gleixner 提交于
      Now that we have timestamps on FORK, EXIT, COMM, MMAP events we can
      sort everything in time order. This fixes the following observed
      problem:
      
      mmap(file1) -> pagefault() -> munmap(file1)
      mmap(file2) -> pagefault() -> munmap(file2)
      
      Resulted in decoding both pagefaults in file2 because the file1 map
      was already replaced by the file2 map when the map address was
      identical.
      
      With all events sorted we decode both pagefaults correctly.
