2011-09-23perf python: Add missing perf_event__parse_sample 'swapped' parmArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Problem introduced in 936be50, that missed one perf_event__parse_sample user, the python binding.

2011-09-23perf tools: Add support for disabling -Werror via WERROR=0Darren Hart
GCC often introduces new warnings with lots of false positives - breaking -Werror builds. WERROR=0 allows one to build perf without much fuss - while still encouraging people to send patches to avoid the fuss of having to type WERROR=0. Bisecting back to commits that produce a (mostly harmless) warning on some compilers is more difficult. With WERROR=0 one could bisect without worrying about harmless warnings.

2011-09-23perf top: Fix userspace sample addr map offsetArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
The 'perf top' tool came from the kernel where we had each DSO (vmlinux, modules) loaded just once at a time. But userspace may have DSOs loaded in multiple addresses (shared libraries), requiring that we use the just resolved map instead of the first one found.

2011-09-23perf symbols: Fix issue with binaries using 16-bytes buildids (v2)Stephane Eranian
Buildid can vary in size. According to the man page of ld, buildid can be 160 bits (sha1) or 128 bits (md5, uuid). Perf assumes buildid size of 20 bytes (160 bits) regardless. When dealing with md5 buildids, it would thus read more than needed and that would cause mismatches and samples without symbols. This patch fixes this by taking into account the actual buildid size as encoded int he section header. The leftover bytes are also cleared. This second version fixes a minor issue with the memset() base position. Cc: David S.

2011-09-23perf tool: Fix endianness handling of u32 data in samplesDavid Ahern
Currently, analyzing PPC data files on x86 the cpu field is always 0 and the tid and pid are backwards. For example, analyzing a PPC file on PPC the pid/tid fields show: rsyslogd 1210/1212 and analyzing the same PPC file using an x86 perf binary shows: rsyslogd 1212/1210 The problem is that the swap_op method for samples is perf_event__all64_swap which assumes all elements in the sample_data struct are u64s. cpu, tid and pid are u32s and need to be handled individually. Given that the swap is done before the sample is parsed, the simplest solution is to undo the 64-bit swap of those elements when the sample is parsed and do the proper swap. The RAW data field is generic and perf cannot have programmatic knowledge of how to treat that data. Instead a warning is given to the user. Thanks to Anton Blanchard for providing a data file for a mult-CPU PPC system so I could verify the fix for the CPU fields. v3 -> v4: - fixed use of WARN_ONCE v2 -> v3: - used WARN_ONCE for message regarding raw data - removed struct wrapper around union - fixed whitespace issues v1 -> v2: - added a union for undoing the byte-swap on u64 and redoing swap on u32's to address compiler errors (see git commit 65014ab3) Cc: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1315321946-16993-1-git-send-email-dsahern@gmail.com Signed-off-by: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
2011-09-23perf sort: Fix symbol sort output by separating unresolved samples by typeAnton Blanchard
I took a profile that suggested 60% of total CPU time was in the hypervisor: ... 60.20% [H] 0x33d43c 4.43% [k] ._spin_lock_irqsave 1.07% [k] ._spin_lock Using perf stat to get the user/kernel/hypervisor breakdown contradicted this. The problem is we merge all unresolved samples into the one unknown bucket. If add a comparison by sample type to sort__sym_cmp we get the real picture: ... 57.11% [.] 0x80fbf63c 4.43% [k] ._spin_lock_irqsave 1.07% [k] ._spin_lock 0.65% [H] 0x33d43c So it was almost all userspace, not hypervisor as the initial profile suggested. I found another issue while adding this. Symbol sorting sometimes shows multiple entries for the unknown bucket: ... 16.65% [.] 0x6cd3a8 7.25% [.] 0x422460 5.37% [.] yylex 4.79% [.] malloc 4.78% [.] _int_malloc 4.03% [.] _int_free 3.95% [.] hash_source_code_string 2.82% [.] 0x532908 2.64% [.] 0x36b538 0.94% [H] 0x8000000000e132a4 0.82% [H] 0x800000000000e8b0 This happens because we aren't consistent with our sorting. On one hand we check to see if both symbols match and for two unresolved samples sym is NULL so we match: if (left->ms.sym == right->ms.sym) return 0; On the other hand we use sample IP for unresolved samples when comparing against a symbol: ip_l = left->ms.sym ? left->ms.sym->start : left->ip; ip_r = right->ms.sym ? right->ms.sym->start : right->ip; This means unresolved samples end up spread across the rbtree and we can't merge them all. If we use cmp_null all unresolved samples will end up in the one bucket and the output makes more sense: ... 39.12% [.] 0x36b538 5.37% [.] yylex 4.79% [.] malloc 4.78% [.] _int_malloc 4.03% [.] _int_free 3.95% [.] hash_source_code_string 2.26% [H] 0x800000000000e8b0 Acked-by: Eric B Munson <emunson@mgebm.net> Cc: Eric B Munson <emunson@mgebm.net> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Ian Munsie <imunsie@au1.ibm.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20110831115145.4f598ab2@kryten Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
2011-09-23perf symbols: Synthesize anonymous mmap eventsAnton Blanchard
perf_event__synthesize_mmap_events does not create anonymous mmap events even though the kernel does. As a result an already running application with dynamically created code will not get profiled - all samples end up in the unknown bucket. This patch skips any entries with '[' in the name to avoid adding events for special regions (eg the vsyscall page). All other executable mmaps are assumed to be anonymous and an event is synthesized.

2011-09-23perf record: Create events initially disabled and enable after initDavid Ahern
perf-record currently creates events enabled. When doing a system wide collection (-a arg) this causes data collection for perf's initialization activities -- eg., perf_event__synthesize_threads(). For some events (e.g., context switch S/W event or tracepoints like syscalls) perf's initialization causes a lot of events to be captured frequently generating "Check IO/CPU overload!" warnings on larger systems (e.g., 2 socket, quad core, hyperthreading). perf's initialization phase can be skipped by creating events disabled and then enabling them once the initialization is done.

2011-09-23perf symbols: /proc/kallsyms does not sort module symbolsAnton Blanchard
kallsyms__parse assumes that /proc/kallsyms is sorted and sets the end of the previous symbol to the start of the current one. Unfortunately module symbols are not sorted, eg: ffffffffa0081f30 t e1000_clean_rx_irq [e1000e] ffffffffa00817a0 t e1000_alloc_rx_buffers [e1000e] Some symbols end up with a negative length and others have a length larger than they should. This results in confusing perf output. We already have a function to fixup the end of zero length symbols so use that instead.

2011-09-23perf probe: Fix regression of variable finderMasami Hiramatsu
Fix to call convert_variable() if previous call does not fail. To call convert_variable, it ensures "ret" is 0. However, since "ret" has the return value of synthesize_perf_probe_arg() which always returns positive value if it succeeded, perf probe doesn't call convert_variable(). This will cause a SEGV when we add an event with arguments. This has to be fixed as it ensures "ret" is greater than 0 (or not negative). This regression has been introduced by my previous patch, f182e3e1.

2011-08-12perf probe: Search concrete out-of-line instancesMasami Hiramatsu
gcc 4.6 generates a concrete out-of-line instance when there is a function which is implicitly inlined somewhere but also has its own instance. The concrete out-of-line instance means that it has an abstract origin of the function which is referred by not only inlined-subroutines but also a concrete subprogram. Since current dwarf_func_inline_instances() can find only instances of inlined-subroutines, this introduces new die_walk_instances() to find both of subprogram and inlined-subroutines. e.g. without this, Available variables at sched_group_rt_period @<cpu_rt_period_read_uint+9> struct task_group* tg perf probe failed to find actual subprogram instance of sched_group_rt_period(). With this, Available variables at sched_group_rt_period @<cpu_rt_period_read_uint+9> struct task_group* tg @<sched_group_rt_period+0> struct task_group* tg Now it found the sched_group_rt_period() itself.

2011-08-12perf probe: Avoid searching variables in intermediate scopesMasami Hiramatsu
Fix variable searching logic to search one in inner than local scope or global(CU) scope. In the other words, skip searching in intermediate scopes. e.g., in the following code, int var1; void inline infunc(int i) { i++; <--- [A] } void func(void) { int var1, var2; infunc(var2); } At [A], "var1" should point the global variable "var1", however, if user mis-typed as "var2", variable search should be failed. However, current logic searches variable infunc() scope, global scope, and then func() scope. Thus, it can find "var2" variable in func() scope. This may not be what user expects. So, it would better not search outer scopes except outermost (compile unit) scope which contains only global variables, when it failed to find given variable in local scope. E.g. Without this: $ perf probe -V pre_schedule --externs > without.vars With this: $ perf probe -V pre_schedule --externs > with.vars Check the diff: $ diff without.vars with.vars 88d87 < int cpu 133d131 < long unsigned int* switch_count These vars are actually in the scope of schedule(), the caller of pre_schedule().

2011-08-12perf probe: Fix to search local variables in appropriate scopeMasami Hiramatsu
Fix perf probe to search local variables in appropriate local inlined function scope. For example, pre_schedule() has only 2 local variables, as below; $ perf probe -L pre_schedule <pre_schedule@/home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux-2.6/kernel/sched.c:0> 0 static inline void pre_schedule(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *prev) { 2 if (prev->sched_class->pre_schedule) 3 prev->sched_class->pre_schedule(rq, prev); } However, current perf probe shows 4 local variables on pre_schedule(), because it searches variables in the caller(schedule()) scope. $ perf probe -V pre_schedule Available variables at pre_schedule @<schedule+445> int cpu long unsigned int* switch_count struct rq* rq struct task_struct* prev This patch fixes this issue by searching variables in the local scope of the instance of inlined function.

2011-08-12perf probe: Fix to search nested inlined functions in CUMasami Hiramatsu
Fix perf probe to walk through the lines of all nested inlined function call sites and declared lines when a whole CU is passed to the line walker. The die_walk_lines() can have two different type of DIEs, subprogram (or inlined-subroutine) DIE and CU DIE. If a caller passes a subprogram DIE, this means that the walker walk on lines of given subprogram. In this case, it just needs to search on direct children of DIE tree for finding call-site information of inlined function which directly called from given subprogram. On the other hand, if a caller passes a CU DIE to the walker, this means that the walker have to walk on all lines in the source files included in given CU DIE. In this case, it has to search whole DIE trees of all subprograms to find the call-site information of all nested inlined functions. Without this patch: $ perf probe --line kernel/cpu.c:151-157 </home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux-2.6/kernel/cpu.c:151> static int cpu_notify(unsigned long val, void *v) { 154 return __cpu_notify(val, v, -1, NULL); } With this: $ perf probe --line kernel/cpu.c:151-157 </home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux-2.6/kernel/cpu.c:151> 152 static int cpu_notify(unsigned long val, void *v) { 154 return __cpu_notify(val, v, -1, NULL); } As you can see, --line option with source line range shows the declared lines as probe-able.

2011-08-11perf report: Use properly build_id kernel binariesJiri Olsa
If we bring the recorded perf data together with kernel binary from another machine using: on server A: perf archive on server B: tar xjvf perf.data.tar.bz2 -C ~/.debug the build_id kernel dso is not properly recognized during the "perf report" command on server B. The reason is, that build_id dsos are added during the session initialization, while the kernel maps are created during the sample event processing. The machine__create_kernel_maps functions ends up creating new dso object for kernel, but it does not check if we already have one added by build_id processing. Also the build_id reading ABI quirk added in commit: - commit b25114817a73bbd2b84ce9dba02ee1ef8989a947 perf build-id: Add quirk to deal with perf.data file format breakage populates the "struct build_id_event::pid" with 0, which is later interpreted as DEFAULT_GUEST_KERNEL_ID. This is not always correct, so it's better to guess the pid value based on the "struct build_id_event::header::misc" value. - Tested with data generated on x86 kernel version v2.6.34 and reported back on x86_64 current kernel. - Not tested for guest kernel case. Note the problem stays for PERF_RECORD_MMAP events recorded by perf that does not use proper pid (HOST_KERNEL_ID/DEFAULT_GUEST_KERNEL_ID). They are misinterpreted within the current perf code. Probably there's not much we can do about that.
