2015-10-20perf cpu_map: Fix core dump caused by per-socket/core system-wide statKan Liang
Perf will core dump if --per-socket/core -a are applied for perf stat. The root cause is that cpu_map__build_map set refcnt of evlist's cpu_map to 1. It should set refcnt for the newly created cpu_map, not evlist's cpu_map. Here is the example: # perf stat -e cycles --per-socket -a sleep 1 Performance counter stats for 'system wide': S0 36 30,196,257 cycles S1 28 15,823,536 cycles 1.001126828 seconds time elapsed *** Error in `./perf': corrupted double-linked list: 0x00000000021f9090 *** ======= Backtrace: ========= /lib64/libc.so.6[0x3002e7bbe7] /lib64/libc.so.6[0x3002e7d2b5] ./perf(perf_evsel__delete+0x28)[0x485bdd] ./perf[0x4800e8] ./perf(perf_evlist__delete+0x5e)[0x482cd5] ./perf(cmd_stat+0xf25)[0x432328] ./perf[0x4768e0] ./perf[0x476ad6] ./perf[0x476b41] ./perf(main+0x1d0)[0x476db2] /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf5)[0x3002e21b45] ./perf[0x4202c5] Signed-off-by: Kan Liang <kan.liang@intel.com> Acked-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1444388363-35936-1-git-send-email-kan.liang@intel.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

2015-10-20perf record: Add ability to sample call branchesStephane Eranian
This patch add a new branch type sampling filter to perf record. It is named 'call' and maps to PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_CALL. It samples direct call branches only, unlike 'any_call' which includes indirect calls as well. $ perf record -j call -e cycles ..... The man page is updated accordingly.

2015-10-19perf bench: Remove the prefaulting complication from 'perf bench mem mem*'Ingo Molnar
So 'perf bench mem memcpy/memset' has elaborate code to measure memcpy()/memset() performance both with freshly allocated buffers (which includes initial page fault overhead) and with preallocated buffers. But the thing is, the resulting bandwidth results are mostly meaningless, because page faults dominate so much of the cost. It might make sense to measure cache cold vs. cache hot performance, but the code does not do this. So remove this complication, and always prefault the ranges before using them.

2015-10-19perf bench: Default to all routines in 'perf bench mem'Ingo Molnar
So few people know that the --routine option to 'perf bench memcpy/memset' exists, and would not know that it's capable of testing the kernel's memcpy/memset implementations. Furthermore, 'perf bench mem all' will not run all routines: vega:~> perf bench mem all # Running mem/memcpy benchmark... Routine default (Default memcpy() provided by glibc) # Copying 1MB Bytes ... 894.454383 MB/Sec 3.844734 GB/Sec (with prefault) # Running mem/memset benchmark... Routine default (Default memset() provided by glibc) # Copying 1MB Bytes ... 1.220703 GB/Sec 9.042245 GB/Sec (with prefault) Because misleadingly the 'all' refers to 'all sub-benchmarks', not 'all sub-benchmarks and routines'. Fix all this by making the memcpy/memset routine to default to 'all', which results in all the benchmarks being run: triton:~> perf bench mem all # Running mem/memcpy benchmark... Routine default (Default memcpy() provided by glibc) # Copying 1MB Bytes ... 1.448906 GB/Sec 4.957170 GB/Sec (with prefault) Routine x86-64-unrolled (unrolled memcpy() in arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S) # Copying 1MB Bytes ... 1.614153 GB/Sec 4.379204 GB/Sec (with prefault) Routine x86-64-movsq (movsq-based memcpy() in arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S) # Copying 1MB Bytes ... 1.570036 GB/Sec 4.264465 GB/Sec (with prefault) Routine x86-64-movsb (movsb-based memcpy() in arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S) # Copying 1MB Bytes ... 1.788576 GB/Sec 6.554111 GB/Sec (with prefault) # Running mem/memset benchmark...

2015-10-19perf test: Suppress libtraceevent warningsNamhyung Kim
Currently libtraceevent emits warning on unsupported event formats. However it'd be better to see them only -v option is given. To do that, it needs to override the warning() function which is used in the libtracevent. Thus add set_warning_routine() same as set_die_routine() and check the verbose flag in our warning routine. Before: # perf test 5 5: parse events tests : Warning: [kvmmmu:kvm_mmu_get_page] bad op token { Warning: [kvmmmu:kvm_mmu_sync_page] bad op token { Warning: [kvmmmu:kvm_mmu_unsync_page] bad op token { Warning: [kvmmmu:kvm_mmu_prepare_zap_page] bad op token { Warning: [kvmmmu:fast_page_fault] function is_writable_pte not defined ...

2015-10-19perf test: Silence tracepoint event failuresNamhyung Kim
Currently, when 'perf test' is run by a normal user, it'll fail to access tracepoint events. The output becomes somewhat messy because it tries to be nice with long error messages and hints. IMHO this is not needed for 'perf test' by default and AFAIK 'perf test' uses pr_debug() rather than pr_err() for such messages so that one can use -v option to see further details on failed testcases if needed.

That was fine for the kernel build but missed the fact that we also use word-at-a-time.h in a userspace test.

perf_regs.c does not get built on Powerpc as CONFIG_PERF_REGS is false. So the weak definition for 'sample_regs_masks' doesn't get picked up. Adding perf_regs.o to util/Build unconditionally, exposes a redefinition error for 'perf_reg_value()' function (due to the static inline version in util/perf_regs.h).
