2019-04-03objtool: Rewrite add_ignores()Peter Zijlstra
The whole add_ignores() thing was wildly weird; rewrite it according to 'modern' ways.

2019-04-03objtool: Handle function aliasesPeter Zijlstra
Function aliases result in different symbols for the same set of instructions; track a canonical symbol so there is a unique point of access. This again prepares the way for function attributes. And in particular the need for aliases comes from how KASAN uses them.

2019-04-03objtool: Set insn->func for alternativesPeter Zijlstra
In preparation of function attributes, we need each instruction to have a valid link back to its function. Therefore make sure we set the function association for alternative instruction sequences; they are, after all, still part of the function.

2019-04-01perf vendor events intel: Update metrics from TMAM 3.5Andi Kleen
Update all the Intel JSON metrics from Ahmad Yasin's TMAM 3.5 for Intel big core from Sandy Bridge to Cascade Lake. This has many improvements and new metircs - New TopDownL1_SMT group that provides a per SMT thread version of --topdown that does not require -a anymore. The drawback is increased multiplexing though since L1 TopDown does not fit into 4 generic counters anymore. - Added SMT aware versions of other metrics - Split SMT aware metrics into separate metrics to avoid unnecessary event collections - New metrics for better branch analysis: Estimated Branch_Mispredict_Costs, Instructions per taken Branch, Branch Instructions per Taken Branch, etc. - Instruction mix metrics: Instructions per load, Instructions per store, Instructions per Branch, Instructions per Call - New Cache metrics: Bandwidth to L1/L2/L3 caches. L1/L2/L3 misses per kilo instructions. memory level parallelism - New memory controller metrics: Normalized memory bandwidth in interval mode, Average memory latency, Average number of parallel read requests, - 3DXP persistent memory metrics for Cascade Lake: 3dxp read latency, 3dxp read/write bandwidth - Some other useful metrics like Instruction Level Parallelism, - Various other improvements. Not all metrics are available on all CPUs. Skylake has best coverage.

2019-04-01perf record: Implement --mmap-flush=<number> optionAlexey Budankov
Implement a --mmap-flush option that specifies minimal number of bytes that is extracted from mmaped kernel buffer to store into a trace. The default option value is 1 byte what means every time trace writing thread finds some new data in the mmaped buffer the data is extracted, possibly compressed and written to a trace. $ tools/perf/perf record --mmap-flush 1024 -e cycles -- matrix.gcc $ tools/perf/perf record --aio --mmap-flush 1K -e cycles -- matrix.gcc The option is independent from -z setting, doesn't vary with compression level and can serve two purposes. The first purpose is to increase the compression ratio of a trace data. Larger data chunks are compressed more effectively so the implemented option allows specifying data chunk size to compress. Also at some cases executing more write syscalls with smaller data size can take longer than executing less write syscalls with bigger data size due to syscall overhead so extracting bigger data chunks specified by the option value could additionally decrease runtime overhead. The second purpose is to avoid self monitoring live-lock issue in system wide (-a) profiling mode. Profiling in system wide mode with compression (-a -z) can additionally induce data into the kernel buffers along with the data from monitored processes. If performance data rate and volume from the monitored processes is high then trace streaming and compression activity in the tool is also high. High tool process activity can lead to subtle live-lock effect when compression of single new byte from some of mmaped kernel buffer leads to generation of the next single byte at some mmaped buffer. So perf tool process ends up in endless self monitoring. Implemented synch parameter is the mean to force data move independently from the specified flush threshold value. Despite the provided flush value the tool needs capability to unconditionally drain memory buffers, at least in the end of the collection. Committer testing: Running with the default value, i.e. as soon as there is something to read go on consuming, we first write the synthesized events, small chunks of about 128 bytes: # perf trace -m 2048 --call-graph dwarf -e write -- perf record <SNIP> 101.142 ( 0.004 ms): perf/25821 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x210db60, count: 120) = 120 __libc_write (/usr/lib64/libpthread-2.28.so) ion (/home/acme/bin/perf) record__write (inlined) process_synthesized_event (/home/acme/bin/perf) perf_tool__process_synth_event (inlined) perf_event__synthesize_mmap_events (/home/acme/bin/perf) Then we move to reading the mmap buffers consuming the events put there by the kernel perf infrastructure: 107.561 ( 0.005 ms): perf/25821 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7f1befc02000, count: 336) = 336 __libc_write (/usr/lib64/libpthread-2.28.so) ion (/home/acme/bin/perf) record__write (inlined) record__pushfn (/home/acme/bin/perf) perf_mmap__push (/home/acme/bin/perf) record__mmap_read_evlist (inlined) record__mmap_read_all (inlined) __cmd_record (inlined) cmd_record (/home/acme/bin/perf) 12919.953 ( 0.136 ms): perf/25821 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7f1befc83150, count: 184984) = 184984 <SNIP same backtrace as in the 107.561 timestamp> 12920.094 ( 0.155 ms): perf/25821 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7f1befc02150, count: 261816) = 261816 <SNIP same backtrace as in the 107.561 timestamp> 12920.253 ( 0.093 ms): perf/25821 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7f1befb81120, count: 170832) = 170832 <SNIP same backtrace as in the 107.561 timestamp> If we limit it to write only when more than 16MB are available for reading, it throttles that to a quarter of the --mmap-pages set for 'perf record', which by default get to 528384 bytes, found out using 'record -v': mmap flush: 132096 mmap size 528384B With that in place all the writes coming from record__mmap_read_evlist(), i.e. from the mmap buffers setup by the kernel perf infrastructure were at least 132096 bytes long.

2019-04-01tools lib traceevent: Remove call to exit() from tep_filter_add_filter_str()Tzvetomir Stoyanov
This patch removes call to exit() from tep_filter_add_filter_str(). A library function should not force the application to exit. In the current implementation tep_filter_add_filter_str() calls exit() when a special "test_filters" mode is set, used only for debugging purposes. When this mode is set and a filter is added - its string is printed to the console and exit() is called. This patch changes the logic - when in "test_filters" mode, the filter string is still printed, but the exit() is not called. It is up to the application to track when "test_filters" mode is set and to call exit, if needed.

2019-04-01perf stat: Implement duration_time as a proper eventAndi Kleen
The perf metric expression use 'duration_time' internally to normalize events. Normal 'perf stat' without -x also prints the duration time. But when using -x, the interval is not output anywhere, which is inconvenient for any post processing which often wants to normalize values to time. So implement 'duration_time' as a proper perf event that can be specified explicitely with -e. The previous implementation of 'duration_time' only worked for metric processing. This adds the concept of a tool event that is handled by the tool. On the kernel level it is still mapped to the dummy software event, but the values are not read anymore, but instead computed by the tool. Add proper plumbing to handle this in the event parser, and display it in 'perf stat'. We don't want 'duration_time' to be added up, so it's only printed for the first CPU. % perf stat -e duration_time,cycles true Performance counter stats for 'true': 555,476 ns duration_time 771,958 cycles 0.000555476 seconds time elapsed 0.000644000 seconds user 0.000000000 seconds sys Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190326221823.11518-3-andi@firstfloor.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
