2010-12-06perf hist: Better displaying of unresolved DSOs and symbolsIan Munsie
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.

2010-12-04perf session: Parse sample earlierArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
At perf_session__process_event, so that we reduce the number of lines in eache tool sample processing routine that now receives a sample_data pointer already parsed. This will also be useful in the next patch, where we'll allow sample the identity fields in MMAP, FORK, EXIT, etc, when it will be possible to see (cpu, timestamp) just after before every event. Also validate callchains in perf_session__process_event, i.e. as early as possible, and keep a counter of the number of events discarded due to invalid callchains, warning the user about it if it happens. There is an assumption that was kept that all events have the same sample_type, that will be dealt with in the future, when this preexisting limitation will be removed.

2010-11-30perf tools: fix event parsing of comma-separated tracepoint eventsCorey Ashford
There are number of issues that prevent the use of multiple tracepoint events being specified in a -e/--event switch, separated by commas. For example, perf stat -e irq:irq_handler_entry,irq:irq_handler_exit ... fails because the tracepoint event parsing code doesn't recognize the comma separator properly.

2010-11-30perf session: Keep file mmaped instead of malloc/memcpyThomas Gleixner
Profiling perf with perf revealed that a large part of the processing time is spent in malloc/memcpy/free in the sample ordering code. That code copies the data from the mmap into malloc'ed memory. That's silly. We can keep the mmap and just store the pointer in the queuing data structure. For 64 bit this is not a problem as we map the whole file anyway. On 32bit we keep 8 maps around and unmap the oldest before mmaping the next chunk of the file.

2010-11-30perf symbols: Figure out start address of kernel map from kallsymsMing Lei
On ARM, module symbol start address is ahead of kernel symbol start address, so we can't suppose that the start address of kernel map always is zero, otherwise may cause incorrect .start and .end of kernel map (caused by fixup) when there are modules loaded, then map_groups__find may return incorrect map for symbol query. This patch always figures out the start address of kernel map from /proc/kallsyms if the file is available, so fix the issues on ARM for module loaded case.

2010-11-26perf record: Add option to disable collecting build-idsArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Collecting build-ids for long running sessions may take a long time because it needs to traverse the whole just collected perf.data stream of events, marking the DSOs that had hits and then looking for the .note.gnu.build-id ELF section. For things like the 'trace' tool that records and right away consumes the data on systems where its unlikely that the DSOs being monitored will change while 'trace' runs, it is desirable to remove build id collection, so add a -B/--no-buildid option to perf record to allow such use case. Longer term we'll avoid all this if we, at DSO load time, in the kernel, take advantage of this slow code path to collect the build-id and stash it somewhere, so that we can insert it in the PERF_RECORD_MMAP event.

Instead, just include the "elfutils/" subdirectory as a relative path when files are needed from that directory.

2010-10-21perf probe: Add basic module supportMasami Hiramatsu
Add basic module probe support on perf probe. This introduces "--module <MODNAME>" option to perf probe for putting probes and showing lines and variables in the given module. Currently, this supports only probing on running modules. Supporting off-line module probing is the next step. e.g.) [show lines] # ./perf probe --module drm -L drm_vblank_info <drm_vblank_info:0> 0 int drm_vblank_info(struct seq_file *m, void *data) 1 { struct drm_info_node *node = (struct drm_info_node *) m->private 3 struct drm_device *dev = node->minor->dev; ... [show vars] # ./perf probe --module drm -V drm_vblank_info:3 Available variables at drm_vblank_info:3 @<drm_vblank_info+20> (unknown_type) data struct drm_info_node* node struct seq_file* m [put a probe] # ./perf probe --module drm drm_vblank_info:3 node m Add new event: probe:drm_vblank_info (on drm_vblank_info:3 with node m) You can now use it on all perf tools, such as: perf record -e probe:drm_vblank_info -aR sleep 1 [list probes] # ./perf probe -l probe:drm_vblank_info (on drm_vblank_info:3@drivers/gpu/drm/drm_info.c with ...

2010-10-04perf trace scripting: Fix extern struct definitionsStephane Eranian
Both python_scripting_ops and perl_scripting_ops have two global definitions. One in trace-event-scripting.c and one in their respective scripting-engine modules. The issue is that depending on the linker order one definition or the other is chosen. One is uninitialized (bss), while the other is initialized. If the uninitialized version is chosen, then perf does not function properly. This patch fixes this by adding the extern prefix to the definitions in trace-event-scripting.c. Cc: David S.

2010-08-27perf: Initialize callchains roots's childen hitsFrederic Weisbecker
Each histogram entry has a callchain root that stores the callchain samples. However we forgot to initialize the tracking of children hits of these roots, which then got random values on their creation. The root children hits is multiplied by the minimum percentage of hits provided by the user, and the result becomes the minimum hits expected from children branches. If the random value due to the uninitialization is big enough, then this minimum number of hits can be huge and eventually filter every children branches. The end result was invisible callchains. All we need to fix this is to initialize the children hits of the root.
