2016-06-06perf stat: Add missing aggregation headers for --metric-only CSVAndi Kleen
When in CSV mode --metric-only outputs an header, unlike the other modes. Previously it did not properly print headers for the aggregation columns, so the headers were actually shifted against the real values. Fix this here by outputting the correct headers for CSV. v2: Indent array.

2016-06-06perf stat: Add computation of TopDown formulasAndi Kleen
Implement the TopDown formulas in 'perf stat'. The topdown basic metrics reported by the kernel are collected, and the formulas are computed and output as normal metrics. See the kernel commit exporting the events for details on the used metrics. Committer note: Output example: # perf stat --topdown -a usleep 1 Performance counter stats for 'system wide': retiring bad speculation frontend bound backend bound S0-C0 2 23.8% 11.6% 28.3% 36.3% S0-C1 2 16.2% 15.7% 36.5% 31.6% 0.000579956 seconds time elapsed # v2: Always print all metrics, only use thresholds for coloring. v3: Mark retiring over threshold green, not red. v4: Only print one decimal digit Fix color printing of one metric v5: Avoid printing -0.0 v6: Remove extra frontend event lookup Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1464119559-17203-2-git-send-email-andi@firstfloor.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
2016-06-06perf stat: Basic support for TopDown in perf statAndi Kleen
Add basic plumbing for TopDown in perf stat TopDown is intended to replace the frontend cycles idle/ backend cycles idle metrics in standard perf stat output. These metrics are not reliable in many workloads, due to out of order effects. This implements a new --topdown mode in perf stat (similar to --transaction) that measures the pipe line bottlenecks using standardized formulas. The measurement can be all done with 5 counters (one fixed counter) The result are four metrics: FrontendBound, BackendBound, BadSpeculation, Retiring that describe the CPU pipeline behavior on a high level. The full top down methology has many hierarchical metrics. This implementation only supports level 1 which can be collected without multiplexing. A full implementation of top down on top of perf is available in pmu-tools toplev. (http://github.com/andikleen/pmu-tools) The current version works on Intel Core CPUs starting with Sandy Bridge, and Atom CPUs starting with Silvermont. In principle the generic metrics should be also implementable on other out of order CPUs. TopDown level 1 uses a set of abstracted metrics which are generic to out of order CPU cores (although some CPUs may not implement all of them): topdown-total-slots Available slots in the pipeline topdown-slots-issued Slots issued into the pipeline topdown-slots-retired Slots successfully retired topdown-fetch-bubbles Pipeline gaps in the frontend topdown-recovery-bubbles Pipeline gaps during recovery from misspeculation These metrics then allow to compute four useful metrics: FrontendBound, BackendBound, Retiring, BadSpeculation. Add a new --topdown options to enable events. When --topdown is specified set up events for all topdown events supported by the kernel. Add topdown-* as a special case to the event parser, as is needed for all events containing -. The actual code to compute the metrics is in follow-on patches. v2: Use standard sysctl read function. v3: Move x86 specific code to arch/ v4: Enable --metric-only implicitly for topdown. v5: Add --single-thread option to not force per core mode v6: Fix output order of topdown metrics v7: Allow combining with -d v8: Remove --single-thread again v9: Rename functions, adding arch_ and topdown_. v10: Expand man page and describe TopDown better Paste intro into commit description.

2016-06-03perf script: Show call graphs when 1st event doesn't have it but some other hasHe Kuang
There's a display inconsistency when there are multiple tracepoint events, some of which have the 'call-graph' config option set but the first one hasn't, i.e. the whole logic for call graph processing is enabled only if the first tracepoint event has call-graph set. For instance, if we record signal_deliver with call-graph and signal_generate without: $ perf record -g -a -e signal:signal_deliver -e signal:signal_generate/call-graph=no/ [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.017 MB perf.data (2 samples) ] $ perf script kworker/u2:1 13 [000] 6563.875949: signal:signal_generate: sig=2 errno=0 code=128 comm=perf pid=1313 grp=1 res=0 ff61cc __send_signal+0x3ec ([kernel.kallsyms]) perf 1313 [000] 6563.877584: signal:signal_deliver: sig=2 errno=0 code=128 sa_handler=43115e sa_flags=14000000 7ffff314 get_signal+0x80007f0023a4 ([kernel.kallsyms]) 7fffe358 do_signal+0x80007f002028 ([kernel.kallsyms]) 7fffa5e8 exit_to_usermode_loop+0x80007f002053 ([kernel.kallsyms]) ... Then we exchange the order of these two events in commandline, and keep signal_generate without call-graph. $ perf record -g -a -e signal:signal_generate/call-graph=no/ -e signal:signal_deliver [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.017 MB perf.data (2 samples) ] $ perf script kworker/u2:2 1314 [000] 6933.353060: signal:signal_generate: sig=2 errno=0 code=128 comm=perf pid=1321 grp=1 res=0 perf 1321 [000] 6933.353872: signal:signal_deliver: sig=2 errno=0 code=128 sa_handler=43115e sa_flags=14000000 This time, the callchain of the event signal_deliver disappeared. The problem is caused by that perf only checks for the first evsel in evlist and decides if callchain should be printed. This patch traverses all evsels in evlist to see if any of them have callchains, and shows the right result: $ perf script kworker/u2:2 1314 [000] 6933.353060: signal:signal_generate: sig=2 errno=0 code=128 comm=perf pid=1321 grp=1 res=0 ff61cc __send_signal+0x3ec ([kernel.kallsyms]) perf 1321 [000] 6933.353872: signal:signal_deliver: sig=2 errno=0 code=128 sa_handler=43115e sa_flags=14000000 7ffff314 get_signal+0x80007f0023a4 ([kernel.kallsyms]) 7fffe358 do_signal+0x80007f002028 ([kernel.kallsyms]) 7fffa5e8 exit_to_usermode_loop+0x80007f002053 ([kernel.kallsyms]) ...

2016-05-23perf record: Rename variable to make code clearWang Nan
record__mmap_read() writes data from ring buffer into perf.data. 'head' is maintained by the kernel, points to the last written record. 'old' is maintained by perf, points to the record read in previous round. record__mmap_read() saves data from 'old' to 'head' to perf.data. The names of these variables are not very intutive. In addition, when dealing with backward writing ring buffer, the md->prev pointer should point to 'head' instead of the last byte it got. Add 'start' and 'end' pointer to make code clear and set md->prev to 'head' instead of the moved 'old' pointer.

The "device dax" implementation was revised this week in response to review feedback, and to address failures detected by the recently expanded ndctl unit test suite. Not included in this pull request are two dax topic branches (dax error handling, and dax radix-tree locking). These topics were deferred to get a few more days of -next integration testing, and to coordinate a branch baseline with Ted and the ext4 tree. Vishal and Ross will send the error handling and locking topics respectively in the next few days. This branch has received a positive build result from the kbuild robot across 226 configs. Summary: - Device DAX for persistent memory: Device DAX is the device-centric analogue of Filesystem DAX (CONFIG_FS_DAX). It allows memory ranges to be allocated and mapped without need of an intervening file system. Device DAX is strict, precise and predictable. Specifically this interface: a) Guarantees fault granularity with respect to a given page size (pte, pmd, or pud) set at configuration time. b) Enforces deterministic behavior by being strict about what fault scenarios are supported. Persistent memory is the first target, but the mechanism is also targeted for exclusive allocations of performance/feature differentiated memory ranges. - Support for the HPE DSM (device specific method) command formats. This enables management of these first generation devices until a unified DSM specification materializes. - Further ACPI 6.1 compliance with support for the common dimm identifier format. - Various fixes and cleanups across the subsystem" * tag 'libnvdimm-for-4.7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm: (40 commits) libnvdimm, dax: fix deletion libnvdimm, dax: fix alignment validation libnvdimm, dax: autodetect support libnvdimm: release ida resources Revert "block: enable dax for raw block devices" /dev/dax, core: file operations and dax-mmap /dev/dax, pmem: direct access to persistent memory libnvdimm: stop requiring a driver ->remove() method libnvdimm, dax: record the specified alignment of a dax-device instance libnvdimm, dax: reserve space to store labels for device-dax libnvdimm, dax: introduce device-dax infrastructure nfit: add sysfs dimm 'family' and 'dsm_mask' attributes tools/testing/nvdimm: ND_CMD_CALL support nfit: disable vendor specific commands nfit: export subsystem ids as attributes nfit: fix format interface code byte order per ACPI6.1 nfit, libnvdimm: limited/whitelisted dimm command marshaling mechanism nfit, libnvdimm: clarify "commands" vs "_DSMs" libnvdimm: increase max envelope size for ioctl acpi/nfit: Add sysfs "id" for NVDIMM ID ...

2016-05-23ftracetest: Use proper logic to find process PIDSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
Half of the test in instance-event.tc was updated to use $! to find the PID of the previous background process that was launched, but the second part of the test still used the parsing of "jobs", which does not work on all shells like $! does. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace Pull motr tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: "Three more changes. - I forgot that I had another selftest to stress test the ftrace instance creation. It was actually suppose to go into the 4.6 merge window, but I never committed it. I almost forgot about it again, but noticed it was missing from your tree. - Soumya PN sent me a clean up patch to not disable interrupts when taking the tasklist_lock for read, as it's unnecessary because that lock is never taken for write in irq context. - Newer gcc's can cause the jump in the function_graph code to the global ftrace_stub label to be a short jump instead of a long one. As that jump is dynamically converted to jump to the trace code to do function graph tracing, and that conversion expects a long jump it can corrupt the ftrace_stub itself (it's directly after that call). One way to prevent gcc from using a short jump is to declare the ftrace_stub as a weak function, which we do here to keep gcc from optimizing too much" * tag 'trace-v4.7-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: ftrace/x86: Set ftrace_stub to weak to prevent gcc from using short jumps to it ftrace: Don't disable irqs when taking the tasklist_lock read_lock ftracetest: Add instance created, delete, read and enable event test
