      perf tools: Use __maybe_used for unused variables · 1d037ca1
      Irina Tirdea 提交于
      perf defines both __used and __unused variables to use for marking
      unused variables. The variable __used is defined to
      __attribute__((__unused__)), which contradicts the kernel definition to
      __attribute__((__used__)) for new gcc versions. On Android, __used is
      also defined in system headers and this leads to warnings like: warning:
      '__used__' attribute ignored
      
      __unused is not defined in the kernel and is not a standard definition.
      If __unused is included everywhere instead of __used, this leads to
      conflicts with glibc headers, since glibc has a variables with this name
      in its headers.
      
      The best approach is to use __maybe_unused, the definition used in the
      kernel for __attribute__((unused)). In this way there is only one
      definition in perf sources (instead of 2 definitions that point to the
      same thing: __used and __unused) and it works on both Linux and Android.
      This patch simply replaces all instances of __used and __unused with
      __maybe_unused.

      perf tools: Incorrect use of snprintf results in SEGV · b832796c
      Anton Blanchard 提交于
      I have a workload where perf top scribbles over the stack and we SEGV.
      What makes it interesting is that an snprintf is causing this.
      
      The workload is a c++ gem that has method names over 3000 characters
      long, but snprintf is designed to avoid overrunning buffers. So what
      went wrong?
      
      The problem is we assume snprintf returns the number of characters
      written:
      
          ret += repsep_snprintf(bf + ret, size - ret, "[%c] ", self->level);
      ...
          ret += repsep_snprintf(bf + ret, size - ret, "%s", self->ms.sym->name);
      
      Unfortunately this is not how snprintf works. snprintf returns the
      number of characters that would have been written if there was enough
      space. In the above case, if the first snprintf returns a value larger
      than size, we pass a negative size into the second snprintf and happily
      scribble over the stack. If you have 3000 character c++ methods thats a
      lot of stack to trample.
      
      This patch fixes repsep_snprintf by clamping the value at size - 1 which
      is the maximum snprintf can write before adding the NULL terminator.
      
      I get the sinking feeling that there are a lot of other uses of snprintf
      that have this same bug, we should audit them all.

      perf sort: Fix symbol sort output by separating unresolved samples by type · 6bb8f311
      Anton Blanchard 提交于
      I took a profile that suggested 60% of total CPU time was in the
      hypervisor:
      
      ...
          60.20%  [H] 0x33d43c
           4.43%  [k] ._spin_lock_irqsave
           1.07%  [k] ._spin_lock
      
      Using perf stat to get the user/kernel/hypervisor breakdown contradicted
      this.
      
      The problem is we merge all unresolved samples into the one unknown
      bucket. If add a comparison by sample type to sort__sym_cmp we get the
      real picture:
      
      ...
          57.11%  [.] 0x80fbf63c
           4.43%  [k] ._spin_lock_irqsave
           1.07%  [k] ._spin_lock
           0.65%  [H] 0x33d43c
      
      So it was almost all userspace, not hypervisor as the initial profile
      suggested.
      
      I found another issue while adding this. Symbol sorting sometimes shows
      multiple entries for the unknown bucket:
      
      ...
          16.65%  [.] 0x6cd3a8
           7.25%  [.] 0x422460
           5.37%  [.] yylex
           4.79%  [.] malloc
           4.78%  [.] _int_malloc
           4.03%  [.] _int_free
           3.95%  [.] hash_source_code_string
           2.82%  [.] 0x532908
           2.64%  [.] 0x36b538
           0.94%  [H] 0x8000000000e132a4
           0.82%  [H] 0x800000000000e8b0
      
      This happens because we aren't consistent with our sorting. On
      one hand we check to see if both symbols match and for two unresolved
      samples sym is NULL so we match:
      
              if (left->ms.sym == right->ms.sym)
                      return 0;
      
      On the other hand we use sample IP for unresolved samples when
      comparing against a symbol:
      
             ip_l = left->ms.sym ? left->ms.sym->start : left->ip;
             ip_r = right->ms.sym ? right->ms.sym->start : right->ip;
      
      This means unresolved samples end up spread across the rbtree and we
      can't merge them all.
      
      If we use cmp_null all unresolved samples will end up in the one bucket
      and the output makes more sense:
      
      ...
          39.12%  [.] 0x36b538
           5.37%  [.] yylex
           4.79%  [.] malloc
           4.78%  [.] _int_malloc
           4.03%  [.] _int_free
           3.95%  [.] hash_source_code_string

      perf tools: Allow sort dimensions to be registered more than once · fd8ea212
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      So that the parent sort dimension can be registered twice: once
      if we add it as an explicit sort dimension (-s parent) and twice
      if we request a parent filter (-p foo).
      
      We'll have only one parent sort dimension in the end but this
      allows to override the default parent filter with we gave in "-p"
      option. The goal of this is to prepare to allow the use of
      "-s parent" and "-p foo" at the same time, ie: sort by filtered
      parent.

      perf hist: Better displaying of unresolved DSOs and symbols · 1437a30a
      Ian Munsie 提交于
      In the event that a DSO has not been identified, just print out [unknown]
      instead of the instruction pointer as we previously were doing, which is pretty
      meaningless for a shared object (at least to the users perspective).
      
      The IP we print out is fairly meaningless in general anyway - it's just one
      (the first) of the many addresses that were lumped together as unidentified,
      and could span many shared objects and symbols. In reality if we see this
      [unknown] output then the report -D output is going to be more useful anyway as
      we can see all the different address that it represents.
      
      If we are printing the symbols we are still going to see this IP in that column
      anyway since they shouldn't resolve either.
      
      This patch also changes the symbol address printouts so that they print out 0x
      before the address, are left aligned, and changes the %L format string (which
      relies on a glibc bug) to %ll.

      perf hist: Replace ->print() routines by ->snprintf() equivalents · a4e3b956
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 提交于
      Then hist_entry__fprintf will just us the newly introduced
      hist_entry__snprintf, add the newline and fprintf it to the supplied
      FILE descriptor.
      
      This allows us to remove the use_browser checking in the color_printf
      routines, that now got color_snprintf variants too.
      
      The newt TUI browser (and other GUIs that may come in the future) don't
      have to worry about stdio specific stuff in the strings they get from
      the se->snprintf routines and instead use whatever means to do the
      equivalent.
      
      Also the newt TUI browser don't have to use the fmemopen() hack, instead
      it can use the se->snprintf routines directly. For now tho use the
      hist_entry__snprintf routine to reduce the patch size.

      That will be in both struct hist_entry and struct

      [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.062 MB perf.data (~2699

      $
      
      So if you want to zoom into libc:
      
      $ perf diff --dsos libc-2.10.1.so | head -8

      $
      
      And if there were multiple commands using libc, it is also
      possible to aggregate them all by using --sort symbol:
      
      $ perf diff --dsos libc-2.10.1.so --sort symbol | head -8

           7.62%     +2.00%  [.] _int_free
      $
      
      The displacement column now is off by default, to use it:
      
      perf diff -m --dsos libc-2.10.1.so --sort symbol | head -8
          37.34%                   [.] _IO_vfprintf_internal

      $
      
      Using -t/--field-separator can be used for scripting:

      perf tools: Bind callchains to the first sort dimension column · a4fb581b
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      Currently, the callchains are displayed using a constant left
      margin. So depending on the current sort dimension
      configuration, callchains may appear to be well attached to the
      first sort dimension column field which is mostly the case,
      except when the first dimension of sorting is done by comm,
      because these are right aligned.
      
      This patch binds the callchain to the first letter in the first
      column, whatever type of column it is (dso, comm, symbol).
      Before:

      Also, for clarity, we don't put anymore the callchain as is but:
      
      - If we have a top level ancestor in the callchain, start it
        with a first ascii hook.

      perf tools: Fix missing top level callchain · af0a6fa4
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      While recursively printing the branches of each callchains, we
      forget to display the root. It is never printed.
      
      Say we have:
      
          symbol
          f1
          f2
           |
           -------- f3
           |        f4
           |
           ---------f5
                    f6
      
      Actually we never see that, instead it displays:
      
          symbol
          |
          --------- f3
          |         f4
          |
          --------- f5
                    f6
      
      However f1 is always the same than "symbol" and if we are
      sorting by symbols first then "symbol", f1 and f2 will be well
      aligned like in the above example, so displaying f1 looks
      redundant here.
      
      But if we are sorting by something else first (dso, comm,
      etc...), displaying f1 doesn't look redundant but rather
      necessary because the symbol is not well aligned anymore with
      its callchain:
      
           comm     dso        symbol
           f1
           f2
           |
           --------- [...]
      
      And we want the callchain to be obvious.
      So we fix the bug by printing the root branch, but we also
      filter its first entry if we are sorting by symbols first.
