由 Stephane Eranian 提交于
The following commit: b52956c9 perf tools: Allow multiple threads or processes in record, stat, top introduced a bug in the thread_map code which caused perf record -a to not setup system-wide monitoring properly. $ taskset -c 1 noploop 1000 & $ perf record -a -C 1 sleep 10 $ perf report -D | tail -20 cycles stats: TOTAL events: 4413 MMAP events: 4025 COMM events: 340 SAMPLE events: 48 Here I was expecting about 10,000 samples and not 48. In system-wide mode, the PID passed to perf_event_open() must be -1 and it was 0. That caused the kernel to setup a per-process event on PID:0. Consequently, the number of samples captured does not correspond to the requested measurement. The following one-liner fixes the problem for me with or without -C. I would also suggest to change the malloc() to something that matches the struct definition. thread_map->map[] is declared as int map[] and not pid_t map[]. If map[] can only contain pids, then change the struct definition.

The __print_symbolic() function takes a sequence of key-value pairs for pretty-printing a constant. The new kvm:kvm_exit print fmt uses the expression: __print_symbolic(..., { 0x040 + 1, "DB excp" }, ...) Currently only atoms are supported and this print fmt fails to parse. This patch adds support for expressions instead of just atoms so that 0x040 + 1 is parsed successfully. Also add arg_num_eval() support for the '+' operator.

Added is a new static inline function that lets *any* tracepoint be used inside a rcu_idle_exit() section. And this also solves the problem where the same tracepoint may be used inside a rcu_idle_exit() section as well as outside of one. I added a new tracepoint function with a "_rcuidle" extension. All tracepoints can be used with either the normal "trace_foobar()" function, or the "trace_foobar_rcuidle()" function when inside a rcu_idle_exit() section. All tracepoints defined by TRACE_EVENT() or any of the derivatives will have a "_rcuidle()" function also defined. When a tracepoint is used within an rcu_idle_exit() section, the "_rcuidle()" version must be used. This denotes that the tracepoint is within rcu_idle_exit() and it allows the rcu read locks within the tracepoint to still be valid, as this version takes us out of rcu_idle_exit(). Another nice aspect about this patch is that "static inline"s are not compiled into text when not used. So only the tracepoints that actually use the _rcuidle() version will have them defined in the actual text that is booted.

The current version of perf detects whether or not the perf.data file is written in a different endianness using the attr_size field in the header of the file. This field represents sizeof(struct perf_event_attr) as known to perf record. If the sizes do not match, then perf tries the byte-swapped version. If they match, then the tool assumes a different endianness. The issue with the approach is that it assumes the size of perf_event_attr always has to match between perf record and perf report. However, the kernel perf_event ABI is extensible. New fields can be added to struct perf_event_attr. Consequently, it is not possible to use attr_size to detect endianness. This patch takes another approach by using the magic number written at the beginning of the perf.data file to detect endianness. The magic number is an eight-byte signature. It's primary purpose is to identify (signature) a perf.data file. But it could also be used to encode the endianness. The patch introduces a new value for this signature. The key difference is that the signature is written differently in the file depending on the endianness. Thus, by comparing the signature from the file with the tool's own signature it is possible to detect endianness. The new signature is "PERFILE2". Backward compatiblity with existing perf.data file is ensured.

Stephane Eranian reported that doing a scheduler latency measurements with perf on AMD doesn't work out as expected due to the fact that the sched_clock() granularity is too coarse, i.e. done in jiffies due to the sched_clock_stable not set, which, if set, would mean that we get to use the TSC as sample source which would give us much higher precision. However, there's no reason not to set sched_clock_stable on AMD because all families from F10h and upwards do have an invariant TSC and have the CPUID flag to prove (CPUID_8000_0007_EDX[8]). Make it so, #1.

The default 'M/sec' unit is not useful if the result is small enough. Adjust it dynamically according to the value.
