Decoding auxtrace data can take a long time. To avoid decoding
unnecessarily, filter auxtrace data that is collected per-cpu before it is
decoded.

Instruction trace decoders such as Intel PT may have additional information
recorded in the trace. For example, Intel PT has power information and a
there is a new instruction 'ptwrite' that can write a value into a PTWRITE
trace packet.
Such information may be associated with an IP and so can be treated as a
sample (PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE). Custom data can be incorporated in the
sample as raw_data (PERF_SAMPLE_RAW).
However a means of identifying the raw data format is needed. That will
be done by synthesizing an attribute for it.
So add an attribute type for custom synthesized events. Different
synthesized events will be identified by the attribute 'config'.
Committer notes:
Start those PERF_TYPE_ after the PMU range, i.e. after (INT_MAX + 1U),
i.e. after perf_pmu_register() -> idr_alloc(end=0).

The idea here is to make AutoFDO easier in cloud environment with ASLR.
It's easiest to show how this is useful by example. I built a small test
akin to "while(1) { do_nothing(); }" where the do_nothing function is
loaded from a dso:
$ cat burncpu.cpp
#include <dlfcn.h>
int main() {
void* handle = dlopen("./dso.so", RTLD_LAZY);
if (!handle) return -1;
typedef void (*fp)();
fp do_nothing = (fp) dlsym(handle, "do_nothing");
while(1) {
do_nothing();
}
}
$ cat dso.cpp
extern "C" void do_nothing() {}
$ cat build.sh
#!/bin/bash
g++ -shared dso.cpp -o dso.so
g++ burncpu.cpp -o burncpu -ldl
I sampled the execution of this program with perf record -b.
Using the existing "brstack,dso", we get absolute addresses that are
affected by ASLR, and could be different on different hosts. The address
does not uniquely identify a branch/target in the binary:
$ perf script -F brstack,dso | sed 's/\/0 /\/0\n/g' | grep burncpu | grep dso.so | head -n 1
0x7f967139b6aa(/tmp/burncpu/dso.so)/0x4006b1(/tmp/burncpu/exe)/P/-/-/0
Using the existing "brstacksym,dso" is a little better, because the
symbol plus offset and dso name *does* uniquely identify a branch/target
in the binary. Ultimately, however, AutoFDO wants a simple offset into
the binary, so we'd have to undo all the work perf did to symbolize in
the first place:
$ perf script -F brstacksym,dso | sed 's/\/0 /\/0\n/g' | grep burncpu | grep dso.so | head -n 1
do_nothing+0x5(/tmp/burncpu/dso.so)/main+0x44(/tmp/burncpu/exe)/P/-/-/0
With the new "brstackoff,dso" we get what we need: a simple offset into a
specific dso/binary that uniquely identifies a branch/target:
$ perf script -F brstackoff,dso | sed 's/\/0 /\/0\n/g' | grep burncpu | grep dso.so | head -n 1
0x6aa(/tmp/burncpu/dso.so)/0x4006b1(/tmp/burncpu/exe)/P/-/-/0

Perf script can report the dso for "addr" and "ip" fields.
This adds the same support for the "brstack" and "brstacksym" fields.
This can be helpful for AutoFDO: we can ignore LBR entries unless the
source and target address are both in the target module we are about to
build.
I built a small test akin to "while(1) { do_nothing(); }" where the
do_nothing function is loaded from a dso:
$ cat burncpu.cpp
#include <dlfcn.h>
int main() {
void* handle = dlopen("./dso.so", RTLD_LAZY);
if (!handle) return -1;
typedef void (*fp)();
fp do_nothing = (fp) dlsym(handle, "do_nothing");
while(1) {
do_nothing();
}
}
$ cat dso.cpp
extern "C" void do_nothing() {}
$ cat build.sh
#!/bin/bash
g++ -shared dso.cpp -o dso.so
g++ burncpu.cpp -o burncpu -ldl
I sampled the execution with perf record -b. Using the new perf script
functionality I can easily find cases where there was a transition from one
dso to another:
$ perf record -a -b -- sleep 5
[ perf record: Woken up 55 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 18.815 MB perf.data (43593 samples) ]
$ perf script -F brstack,dso | sed 's/\/0 /\/0\n/g' | grep burncpu | grep dso.so | head -n 1
0x7f967139b6aa(/tmp/burncpu/dso.so)/0x4006b1(/tmp/burncpu/exe)/P/-/-/0
$ perf script -F brstacksym,dso | sed 's/\/0 /\/0\n/g' | grep burncpu | grep dso.so | head -n 1

With 'perf script' it is common that we just want to add or remove a field.
Currently this requires figuring out the long list of default fields and
specifying them first, and then adding/removing the new field.
This patch adds a new + - syntax to merely add or remove fields,
that allows more succint and clearer command lines
For example to remove the comm field from PMU samples:
Previously
$ perf script -F tid,cpu,time,event,sym,ip,dso,period | head -1
swapper 0 [000] 504345.383126: 1 cycles: ffffffff90060c66 native_write_msr ([kernel.kallsyms])
with the new syntax
perf script -F -comm | head -1
0 [000] 504345.383126: 1 cycles: ffffffff90060c66 native_write_msr ([kernel.kallsyms])
The new syntax cannot be mixed with normal overriding.
v2: Fix example in description. Use tid vs pid. No functional changes.
v3: Don't skip initialization when user specified explicit type.
v4: Rebase. Remove empty line.
Committer testing:
# perf record -a usleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.748 MB perf.data (14 samples) ]
Without a explicit field list specified via -F, defaults to:
# perf script | head -2
perf 6338 [000] 18467.058607: 1 cycles: ffffffff89060c36 native_write_msr (/lib/modules/4.11.0-rc8+/build/vmlinux)
swapper 0 [001] 18467.058617: 1 cycles: ffffffff89060c36 native_write_msr (/lib/modules/4.11.0-rc8+/build/vmlinux)
#
Which is equivalent to:
# perf script -F comm,tid,cpu,time,period,event,ip,sym,dso | head -2
perf 6338 [000] 18467.058607: 1 cycles: ffffffff89060c36 native_write_msr (/lib/modules/4.11.0-rc8+/build/vmlinux)
swapper 0 [001] 18467.058617: 1 cycles: ffffffff89060c36 native_write_msr (/lib/modules/4.11.0-rc8+/build/vmlinux)
#
So if we want to remove the comm, as in your original example, we would have to
figure out the default field list and remove ' comm' from it:
# perf script -F tid,cpu,time,period,event,ip,sym,dso | head -2
6338 [000] 18467.058607: 1 cycles: ffffffff89060c36 native_write_msr (/lib/modules/4.11.0-rc8+/build/vmlinux)
0 [001] 18467.058617: 1 cycles: ffffffff89060c36 native_write_msr (/lib/modules/4.11.0-rc8+/build/vmlinux)
#
With your patch this becomes simpler, one can remove fields by prefixing them
with '-':
# perf script -F -comm | head -2
6338 [000] 18467.058607: 1 cycles: ffffffff89060c36 native_write_msr (/lib/modules/4.11.0-rc8+/build/vmlinux)
0 [001] 18467.058617: 1 cycles: ffffffff89060c36 native_write_msr (/lib/modules/4.11.0-rc8+/build/vmlinux)

Implement printing instruction sequences as hex dump for branch stacks.
This relies on the x86 instruction decoder used by the PT decoder to
find the lengths of instructions to dump them individually.
This is good enough for pattern matching.
This allows to study hot paths for individual samples, together with
branch misprediction and cycle count / IPC information if available (on
Skylake systems).
% perf record -b ...
% perf script -F brstackinsn

Only works when no special branch filters are specified.
Occasionally the path does not reach up to the sample IP, as the LBRs
may be frozen before executing a final jump. In this case we print a
special message.
The instruction dumper piggy backs on the existing infrastructure from
the IP PT decoder.
An earlier iteration of this patch relied on a disassembler, but this
version only uses the existing instruction decoder.

which misleads users to let them think the command is being mistyped.
This patch shows a proper message and guides users to check the
PERF_EXEC_PATH environment variable in that case.
Before:
$ perf script --list
Usage: perf script [<options>]
or: perf script [<options>] record <script> [<record-options>] <command>
or: perf script [<options>] report <script> [script-args]
or: perf script [<options>] <script> [<record-options>] <command>
or: perf script [<options>] <top-script> [script-args]
-l, --list list available scripts
After:
$ perf script --list
open(/home/user/perf-core/scripts) failed.
Check for "PERF_EXEC_PATH" env to set scripts dir.

Based on patches from Andi Kleen.
When printing PT instruction traces with perf script it is rather useful
to see some indentation for the call tree. This patch adds a new
callindent field to perf script that prints spaces for the function call
stack depth.
We already have code to track the function call stack for PT, that we
can reuse with minor modifications.
The resulting output is not quite as nice as ftrace yet, but a lot
better than what was there before.
Note there are some corner cases when the thread stack gets code
confused and prints incorrect indentation. Even with that it is fairly
useful.
When displaying kernel code traces it is recommended to run as root, as
otherwise perf doesn't understand the kernel addresses properly, and may
not reset the call stack correctly on kernel boundaries.
Example output:
sudo perf-with-kcore record eg2 -a -e intel_pt// -- sleep 1
sudo perf-with-kcore script eg2 --ns -F callindent,time,comm,pid,sym,ip,addr,flags,cpu --itrace=cre | less

The flags field is synthesized and may have a value when Instruction
Trace decoding. The flags are "bcrosyiABEx" which stand for branch,
call, return, conditional, system, asynchronous, interrupt, transaction
abort, trace begin, trace end, and in transaction, respectively.
Change the display so that known combinations of flags are printed more
nicely e.g.: "call" for "bc", "return" for "br", "jcc" for "bo", "jmp"
for "b", "int" for "bci", "iret" for "bri", "syscall" for "bcs",
"sysret" for "brs", "async" for "by", "hw int" for "bcyi", "tx abrt" for
"bA", "tr strt" for "bB", "tr end" for "bE".
However the "x" flag will be displayed separately in those cases e.g.
"jcc (x)" for a condition branch within a transaction.
Example:
perf record -e intel_pt//u ls
perf script --ns -F comm,cpu,pid,tid,time,ip,addr,sym,dso,symoff,flags

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])

We cannot limit processing stacks from the current value of the sysctl,
as we may be processing perf.data files, possibly from other machines.
Instead use the old PERF_MAX_STACK_DEPTH, the sysctl default, that can

There is an upper limit to what tooling considers a valid callchain,
and it was tied to the hardcoded value in the kernel,
PERF_MAX_STACK_DEPTH (127), now that this can be tuned via a sysctl,
make it read it and use that as the upper limit, falling back to
PERF_MAX_STACK_DEPTH for kernels where this sysctl isn't present.

This fixes a bug caused by an unitialized callchain cursor. The crash
frist appeared in:
6f736735e3 ("perf evsel: Require that callchains be resolved before
calling fprintf_{sym,callchain}")
The callchain cursor is a struct that contains pointers, that when
uninitialized will cause unpredictable behavior (usually a crash)
when trying to append to the callchain.
The existing implementation has the following issues:
1. The callchain cursor used is not initialized, resulting in
unpredictable behavior when used.
2. The cursor is declared on the stack. Even if it is properly initalized,
the implmentation will leak memory when the function returns,
since all the references to the callchain_nodes allocated by
callchain_cursor_append will be lost when the cursor goes out of
scope.
3. Storing the cursor on the stack is inefficient. Even if memory is
properly freed when it goes out of scope, a performance penalty
will be incurred due to reallocation of callchain nodes.
callchain_cursor_append is designed to avoid these reallocations
when an existing cursor is reused.
This patch fixes the crash by replacing cursor_callchain with a reference
to the global callchain_cursor which also resolves all 3 issues mentioned
above.
How to reproduce the crash:
$ perf record --call-graph=dwarf stress -t 1 -c 1
$ perf script > /dev/null
