      perf tools: handle PERF_RECORD_LOST_SAMPLES · c4937a91
      由 Kan Liang 提交于 
      This patch modifies the perf tool to handle the new RECORD type,
PERF_RECORD_LOST_SAMPLES.

The number of lost-sample events is stored in
.nr_events[PERF_RECORD_LOST_SAMPLES]. The exact number of samples
which the kernel dropped is stored in total_lost_samples.

When the percentage of dropped samples is greater than 5%, a warning
is printed.

Here are some examples:

Eg 1, Recording different frequently-occurring events is safe with the
      patch. Only a very low drop rate is associated with such actions.

$ perf record -e '{cycles:p,instructions:p}' -c 20003 --no-time ~/tchain ~/tchain

$ perf report -D | tail
          SAMPLE events:     120243
           MMAP2 events:          5
    LOST_SAMPLES events:         24
  FINISHED_ROUND events:         15
cycles:p stats:
           TOTAL events:      59348
          SAMPLE events:      59348
instructions:p stats:
           TOTAL events:      60895
          SAMPLE events:      60895

$ perf report --stdio --group
 # To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options.
 #
 #
 # Total Lost Samples: 24
 #
 # Samples: 120K of event 'anon group { cycles:p, instructions:p }'
 # Event count (approx.): 24048600000
 #
 #         Overhead  Command      Shared Object     Symbol
 # ................  ...........  ................

Eg 2, Recording the same thing multiple times can lead to high drop
      rate, but it is not a useful configuration.

$ perf record -e '{cycles:p,cycles:p}' -c 20003 --no-time ~/tchain

      perf tools: Deal with kernel module names in '[]' correctly · 1f121b03
      由 Wang Nan 提交于 
      Before patch ba92732e ('perf kmaps: Check kmaps to make code more
robust'), 'perf report' and 'perf annotate' will segfault if trace data
contains kernel module information like this:

 # perf report -D -i ./perf.data
 ...

 ...

 # perf report -i ./perf.data --objdump=/path/to/objdump --kallsyms=/path/to/kallsyms

 perf: Segmentation fault

This is because __kmod_path__parse treats '[' leading names as kernel
name instead of names of kernel module.

If perf.data contains build information and the buildid of such modules
can be found, the dso->kernel of it will be set to DSO_TYPE_KERNEL by
__event_process_build_id(), not kernel module.

It will then be passed to dso__load() -> dso__load_kernel_sym() ->
dso__load_kcore() if --kallsyms is provided.

The refered patch adds NULL pointer checker to avoid segfault. However,
such kernel modules are still processed incorrectly.

This patch fixes __kmod_path__parse, makes it treat names like
'[test_module]' as kernel modules.

kmod-path.c is also update to reflect the above changes.

      perf tools: Reference count struct map · 84c2cafa
      由 Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 提交于 
      We have pointers to struct map instances in several places, like in the
hist_entry instances, so we need a way to know when we can destroy them,
otherwise we may either keep leaking them or end up referencing deleted
instances.

Start fixing it by reference counting them.

This patch puts the reference count for struct map in place, replacing
direct map__delete() calls with map__put() ones and then grabbing a
reference count when adding it to the maps struct where maps for a
struct thread are kept.

Next we'll grab reference counts when setting pointers to struct map
instances, in places like in the hist_entry code.

      perf machine: Protect the machine->threads with a rwlock · b91fc39f
      由 Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 提交于 
      In addition to using refcounts for the struct thread lifetime
management, we need to protect access to machine->threads from
concurrent access.

That happens in 'perf top', where a thread processes events, inserting
and deleting entries from that rb_tree while another thread decays
hist_entries, that end up dropping references and ultimately deleting
threads from the rb_tree and releasing its resources when no further
hist_entry (or other data structures, like in 'perf sched') references
it.

So the rule is the same for refcounts + protected trees in the kernel,
get the tree lock, find object, bump the refcount, drop the tree lock,
return, use object, drop the refcount if no more use of it is needed,
keep it if storing it in some other data structure, drop when releasing
that data structure.

I.e. pair "t = machine__find(new)_thread()" with a "thread__put(t)", and
"perf_event__preprocess_sample(&al)" with "addr_location__put(&al)".

The addr_location__put() one is because as we return references to
several data structures, we may end up adding more reference counting
for the other data structures and then we'll drop it at
addr_location__put() time.

      perf buildid-list: Fix segfault when show DSOs with hits · 5e78c69b
      由 He Kuang 提交于 
      commit: f3b623b8 ("perf tools: Reference count struct thread")
appends every thread->node to dead_threads in machine__remove_thread()
and list_del_init() this node in thread__put().

perf_event__exit_del_thread() releases thread wihout using
machine__remove_thread(), and causes a NULL pointer crash when
list_del_init(&thread->node) is called. Fix this by using
machine_remove_thread() instead of using thread__put() directly.

This problem can be reproduced as following:

  $ perf record ls
  $ perf buildid-list --with-hits
  [ 3874.195070] perf[1018]: segfault at 0 ip 00000000004b0b15 sp
  00007ffc35b44780 error 6 in perf[400000+166000]

      We need to do that to stop accumulating entries in the dead_threads
linked list, i.e. we were keeping references to threads in struct hists
that continue to exist even after a thread exited and was removed from
the machine threads rbtree.

We still keep the dead_threads list, but just for debugging, allowing us
to iterate at any given point over the threads that still are referenced
by things like struct hist_entry.

      perf tools: Construct LBR call chain · 384b6055
      由 Kan Liang 提交于 
      LBR call stack only has user-space callchains. It is output in the
PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK data format. For kernel callchains, it's
still in the form of PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN.

The perf tool has to handle both data sources to construct a
complete callstack.

For the "perf report -D" option, both lbr and fp information will be
displayed.

A new call chain recording option "lbr" is introduced into the perf
tool for LBR call stack. The user can use --call-graph lbr to get
the call stack information from hardware.

Here are some examples.

When profiling bc(1) on Fedora 19:

  echo 'scale=2000; 4*a(1)' > cmd; perf record --call-graph lbr bc -l < cmd

If enabling LBR, perf report output looks like:

The LBR call stack has the following known limitations:

 - Zero length calls are not filtered out by the hardware

 - Exception handing such as setjmp/longjmp will have calls/returns not
   match

 - Pushing different return address onto the stack will have
   calls/returns not match

 - If callstack is deeper than the LBR, only the last entries are
   captured

      perf callchain: Support handling complete branch stacks as histograms · 8b7bad58
      由 Andi Kleen 提交于 
      Currently branch stacks can be only shown as edge histograms for
individual branches. I never found this display particularly useful.

This implements an alternative mode that creates histograms over
complete branch traces, instead of individual branches, similar to how
normal callgraphs are handled. This is done by putting it in front of
the normal callgraph and then using the normal callgraph histogram
infrastructure to unify them.

This way in complex functions we can understand the control flow that
lead to a particular sample, and may even see some control flow in the
caller for short functions.

Example (simplified, of course for such simple code this is usually not
needed), please run this after the whole patchkit is in, as at this
point in the patch order there is no --branch-history, that will be
added in a patch after this one:

tcall.c:

volatile a = 10000, b = 100000, c;

__attribute__((noinline)) f2()
{
	c = a / b;
}

__attribute__((noinline)) f1()
{
	f2();
	f2();
}
main()
{
	int i;
	for (i = 0; i < 1000000; i++)
		f1();
}

The default output is unchanged.

This is only implemented in perf report, no change to record or anywhere
else.

This adds the basic code to report:

- add a new "branch" option to the -g option parser to enable this mode
- when the flag is set include the LBR into the callstack in machine.c.

The rest of the history code is unchanged and doesn't know the
difference between LBR entry and normal call entry.

- detect overlaps with the callchain
- remove small loop duplicates in the LBR

Current limitations:

- The LBR flags (mispredict etc.) are not shown in the history
and LBR entries have no special marker.
- It would be nice if annotate marked the LBR entries somehow
(e.g. with arrows)

v2: Various fixes.
v3: Merge further patches into this one. Fix white space.
v4: Improve manpage. Address review feedback.
v5: Rename functions. Better error message without -g. Fix crash without
    -b.
v6: Rebase
v7: Rebase. Use NO_ENTRY in memset.
v8: Port to latest tip. Move add_callchain_ip to separate
    patch. Skip initial entries in callchain. Minor cleanups.

      perf tools: Make vmlinux short name more like kallsyms short name · 96d78059
      由 Namhyung Kim 提交于 
      The previous patch changed kernel dso name from '[kernel.kallsyms]' to
vmlinux.  However it might add confusion to old users accustomed to the
old name.  So change the short name to '[kernel.vmlinux]' to reduce such
confusion.

      perf tools: Fix build-id matching on vmlinux · b837a8bd
      由 Namhyung Kim 提交于 
      There's a problem on finding correct kernel symbols when perf report
runs on a different kernel.  Although a part of the problem was solved
by the prior commit 0a7e6d1b ("perf tools: Check recorded kernel
version when finding vmlinux"), there's a remaining problem still.

When perf records samples, it synthesizes the kernel map using
machine__mmap_name() and ref_reloc_sym like "[kernel.kallsyms]_text".
You can easily see it using 'perf report -D' command.

After finishing record, it goes through the recorded events to find
maps/dsos actually used.  And then record build-id info of them.

During this process, it needs to load symbols in a dso and it'd call
dso__load_vmlinux_path() since the default value of the symbol_conf.
try_vmlinux_path is true.  However it changes dso->long_name to a real
path of the vmlinux file (e.g. /lib/modules/3.16.4/build/vmlinux) if one
is running on a custom kernel.

It resulted in that perf report reads the build-id of the vmlinux, but
cannot use it since it only knows about the [kernel.kallsyms] map.  It
then falls back to possible vmlinux paths by using the recorded kernel
version (in case of a recent version) or a running kernel silently.

Even with the recent tools, this still has a possibility of breaking
the result.  As the build directory is a symbolic link, if one built a
new kernel in the same directory with different source/config, the old
link to vmlinux will point the new file.  So it's absolutely needed to
use build-id when finding a kernel image.

In this patch, it's now changed to try to search a kernel dso in the
existing dso list which was constructed during build-id table parsing
so it'll always have a build-id.  If not found, search "[kernel.kallsyms]".
