2011-12-23perf tools: Look up thread names for system wide profilingDavid Ahern
This handles multithreaded processes with named threads when doing system wide profiling: the comm for each thread is looked up allowing them to be different from the thread group leader. v2: - fixed sizeof arg to perf_event__get_comm_tgid Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1324578603-12762-3-git-send-email-dsahern@gmail.com Signed-off-by: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
2011-12-23perf tools: Fix comm for processes with named threadsDavid Ahern
perf does not properly handle monitoring of processes with named threads. For example: $ ps -C myapp -L PID LWP TTY TIME CMD 25118 25118 ? 00:00:00 myapp 25118 25119 ? 00:00:00 myapp:worker perf record -e cs -c 1 -fo /tmp/perf.data -p 25118 -- sleep 10 perf report --stdio -i /tmp/perf.data 100.00% myapp:worker [kernel.kallsyms] [k] perf_event_task_sched_out The process name is set to the name of the last thread it finds for the process. The Problem: perf-top and perf-record both create a thread_map of threads to be monitored. That map is used in perf_event__synthesize_thread_map which loops over the entries in thread_map and calls __event__synthesize_thread to generate COMM and MMAP events. __event__synthesize_thread calls perf_event__synthesize_comm which opens /proc/pid/status, reads the name of the task and its thread group id. That's all fine. The problem is that it then reads /proc/pid/task and generates COMM events for each task it finds - but using the name found in /proc/pid/status where pid is the thread of interest. The end result (looping over thread_map + synthesizing comm events for each thread each time) means the name of the last thread processed sets the name for all threads in the process - which is not good for multithreaded processes with named threads. The Fix: perf_event__synthesize_comm has an input argument (full) that decides whether to process task entries for each pid it is passed. It currently never set to 0 (perf_event__synthesize_comm has a single caller and it always passes the value 1). Let's fix that. Add the full input argument to __event__synthesize_thread which passes it to perf_event__synthesize_comm. For thread/process monitoring set full to 0 which means COMM and MMAP events are only generated for the pid passed to it. For system wide monitoring set full to 1 so that COMM events are generated for all threads in a process.

2011-12-22ktest: Fix compare script to test if options are not documentedSteven Rostedt
The compare script compare-ktest-sample.pl checks for options that are defined in ktest.pl and not documented in samples.conf, as well as samples in samples.conf that are not used in ktest.pl. With the switch to the hash format to initialize the ktest variables the compare script needs to be updated to handle the change. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2011-12-22ktest: Detect typos in option namesSteven Rostedt
It becomes quite annoying when you go to run a test and then realize that you typed an option name wrong, and the test starts doing the default action and not what you expected it to do. It is even more annoying when you wake up the next day after running the test over night when you discover this. By testing if all options specified in a config file are used by either ktest or were used in one of the option's values we can see if there are any dangling options that were not used. In such a case, show the user the options that were not used and ask them if they want to continue or not. The option IGNORE_UNUSED was also added to allow the user to override this feature.

2011-12-22ktest: Have all values be set by defaultsSteven Rostedt
Currently the patchcheck, bisect, and config_bisect variables are only able to be set per test. You can not set a default value for them. By letting default values be set, it makes some config files a bit easier, and also makes it easier to find typos in the option names. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2011-12-22ktest: Change initialization of defaults hash to perl formatSteven Rostedt

2011-12-22ktest: Add options SWITCH_TO_GOOD and SWITCH_TO_TESTSteven Rostedt
For machines that do no use grub, it may be needed to update an external image (tftp) before doing a reboot into either the test image or the known good image. The option SWITCH_TO_GOOD is added, where if it is defined, the command that is specified as its value will be executed before doing a reboot into a known good image. The option SWITCH_TO_TEST is added, where if it is defined, the command that is specified as its value will be executed before doing a reboot into the test image.

2011-12-22ktest: Allow overriding bisect test resultsSteven Rostedt
When running the ktest git bisect test, if the BISECT_TYPE is "test", the bisect is determined to be good or bad based off of the error code of the test that is run. Currently, if the test returns 0, it is considered a pass (good), a non-zero is considered a fail (bad). But it has been requested to add more options, and also change the meanings of the error codes of the test. For example, one may want the test to detect if the commit is not good or bad, (maybe the bisect came to a point where the code in question does not exist). The test could report an error code that should tell ktest to skip the commit. Also, a test could detect that something is horribly wrong and the biscet should just be aborted. The new options: BISECT_RET_GOOD BISECT_RET_BAD BISECT_RET_SKIP BISECT_RET_ABORT BISECT_RET_DEFAULT have been added. The first 4 take an integer value that will represent if the test should be considered a pass, fail, neither good nor bad, or abort respectively. The BISECT_RET_DEFAULT will bo whatever is not defined by the above codes. If only BISECT_RET_DEFAULT is defined, then all tests will do the default.

2011-12-22ktest: Ask for type of test when creating a new configSteven Rostedt
When no argument is supplied to ktest, or the config applied does not exist and a new config is being created, instead of just using the default test type, give the user an option to pick the test type of either 'build, install, or boot'. Other options may be added later but then those would require more questions as they require more fields. But that's for another release of ktest to add that feature.

2011-12-20perf record: Add ability to record event periodAndrew Vagin
The problem is that when SAMPLE_PERIOD is not set, the kernel generates a number of samples in proportion to an event's period. Number of these samples may be too big and the kernel throttles all samples above a defined limit. E.g.: I want to trace when a process sleeps. I created a process which sleeps for 1ms and for 4ms. perf got 100 events in both cases. swapper 0 [000] 1141.371830: sched_stat_sleep: comm=foo pid=1801 delay=1386750 [ns] swapper 0 [000] 1141.369444: sched_stat_sleep: comm=foo pid=1801 delay=4499585 [ns] In the first case a kernel want to send 4499585 events and in the second case it wants to send 1386750 events. perf-reports shows that process sleeps in both places equal time. Instead of this we can get only one sample with an attribute period. As result we have less data transferring between kernel and user-space and we avoid throttling of samples. The patch "events: Don't divide events if it has field period" added a kernel part of this functionality.

2011-12-02perf test: Validate PERF_RECORD_ events and perf_sample fieldsArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
This new test will validate these new routines extracted from 'perf record': - perf_evlist__config_attrs - perf_evlist__prepare_workload - perf_evlist__start_workload In addition to several other perf_evlist methods. It consists of starting a simple workload, setting up just one event to monitor ("cycles") requesting that several PERF_SAMPLE_ fields be present in all events. It then will check that the expected PERF_RECORD_ events are produced and will sanity check all its fields. Some checks performed: . PERF_SAMPLE_TIME monotonically increases. . PERF_SAMPLE_CPU is the one requested with sched_setaffinity .

2011-11-29perf evlist: Always do automatic allocation of pollfd and mmap structuresArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
At first tools were required to do that, but while writing the python bindings to simplify the API I made them auto-allocate when needed. This just makes record, stat and top use that auto allocation, simplifying them a bit.

2011-11-28perf tools: Save some loops using perf_evlist__id2evselArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Since we already ask for PERF_SAMPLE_ID and use it to quickly find the associated evsel, add handler func + data to struct perf_evsel to avoid using chains of if(strcmp(event_name)) and also to avoid all the linear list searches via trace_event_find.

2011-11-28perf tools: make -C consistent across commands (for cpu list arg)David Ahern
Currently the meaning of -C varies by perf command: for perf-top, perf-stat, perf-record it means cpu list. For perf-report it means comm list. Then perf-annotate, perf-report and perf-script use -c for cpu list. Fix annotate, report and script to use -C for cpu list to be consistent with top, stat and record. This means report needs to use -c for comm list which does introduce a backward compatibility change. v1 -> v2 - update perf-script.txt too Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1321209008-7004-1-git-send-email-dsahern@gmail.com Signed-off-by: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
