Currently, execution of 'perf trace' reports the following cryptic
message to the user:
$ perf trace
Couldn't read the raw_syscalls tracepoints information!
Typically this happens because the user does not have permissions to
read the debugfs filesystem. Also handle the case when the kernel was
not compiled with debugfs support or when it isn't mounted.
Now, the tool prints detailed error messages:
$ perf trace
Error: Unable to find debugfs
Hint: Was your kernel was compiled with debugfs support?
Hint: Is the debugfs filesystem mounted?
Hint: Try 'sudo mount -t debugfs nodev /sys/kernel/debug'
$ perf trace
Error: No permissions to read /sys/kernel/debug//tracing/events/raw_syscalls
Hint: Try 'sudo mount -o remount,mode=755 /sys/kernel/debug/'

Right now when an index passed to that method has no string associated
it'll print the index as a decimal number, prepare it so that we can use
it to print it in hex as well, for ioctls, for instance.

problem is that the trace struct used by the live processing has its

For live sessions we can just access /proc to map an fd to its path, on
a best effort way, i.e. sometimes the fd will have gone away when we try
to do the mapping, as it is done in a lazy way, only when a reference to
such fd is made then the path will be looked up in /proc.
This is disabled when processing perf.data files, where we will have to
have a way to get getname events, be it via an on-the-fly 'perf probe'
event or after a vfs_getname tracepoint is added to the kernel.
A first step will be to synthesize such event for the use cases where
the threads in the monitored workload exist already.

Initially should look loosely like the venerable 'strace' tool, but
using the infrastructure in the perf tools to allow tracing extra
targets:
[acme@sandy linux]$ perf trace --hell
Error: unknown option `hell'
usage: perf trace <PID>
-p, --pid <pid> trace events on existing process id
--tid <tid> trace events on existing thread id
--all-cpus system-wide collection from all CPUs
--cpu <cpu> list of cpus to monitor
--no-inherit child tasks do not inherit counters
--mmap-pages <n> number of mmap data pages
--uid <user> user to profile
[acme@sandy linux]$
Those should have the same semantics as when using with 'perf record'.
It gets stuck sometimes, but hey, it works sometimes too!
In time it should support perf.data based workloads, i.e. it should have
a:
-o filename
Command line option that will produce a perf.data file that can then be
used with 'perf trace' or any of the other perf tools (script, report,
etc).
It will also eventually have the set of functionalities described in the
previous 'trace' prototype by Thomas Gleixner:
"Announcing a new utility: 'trace'"
http://lwn.net/Articles/415728/
Also planned is to have some of the features suggested in the comments
of that LWN article.

Update usage to reflect the different perf trace variants.

Acked-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@ghostprotocols.net>
This patch attempts to make the perf trace command-line for live-mode
commands more user-friendly and consistent with other perf commands.
The main change it makes is to allow <commands> to be run as part of
perf trace live-mode commands, as other perf commands do, instead of
the system-wide traces they're currently hard-coded to by the shell
scripts.
With this patch, the following live-mode trace now works as expected:
$ perf trace rw-by-pid ls -al
The previous system-wide behavior for this command would still be
available by explicitly specifying -a:
$ perf trace rw-by-pid -a ls -al
and if no <command> is specified, the output is also system-wide:
$ perf trace rw-by-pid
Because live-mode requires both record and report steps to be invoked,
it isn't always possible to know which args to send to the report and
which to send to the record steps - mainly this is the case for report
scripts with optional args - in those cases it would be necessary to
use separate 'perf trace record' and 'perf trace report' steps.
For example:
$ perf trace syscall-counts ls
Here we can't decide whether ls should be passed as a param to the
syscall-counts script or whether we should invoke ls as a <command>.
In these cases, we just say that we'll ignore optional script params
and always interpret the extra arguments as a <command>.
If the user instead wants the other interpretation, that can be
accomplished by using separate record and report commands explicitly:
$ perf trace record syscall-counts
$ perf trace report syscall-counts ls
So the rules that this patch implements, which seem to make the most
intuitive sense for live-mode commands:
- for commands with optional args and commands with no args, no args
are sent to the report script, all are sent to the record step
- for 'top' commands i.e. that end with 'top', <commands> can't be
used - all extra args are send to the report script as params
- for commands with required args, the n required args are taken to be
the first n args after the script name and sent to the report
script, and the rest are sent to the record step

Because the perf-trace shell scripts hard-coded the use of the
perf-record system-wide param, a perf trace record session was always
system wide, even if it was given a command.
If given a command, perf trace record now only records the events for
the command, as users expect.
If no command is given, or if the '-a' option is used, the recorded
events are system-wide, as before.

Free the other two fields of script_desc which somehow got overlooked,
free malloc'ed args in case exec fails, and add missing checks for
failed mallocs.

We want just the script output, not internal details about the record phase.

Set $PERF_EXEC_PATH before starting the record and report scripts, and
make them use it where necessary.

Account and report lost events in perf trace debugging mode,
useful to check the reliability of the traces.

Errors due to ordering bugs are easily lost in the middle
of traces.
When we are in this mode, don't print the traces so that
we don't miss the debugging messages.
But display a comforting message if we didn't encounter any
ordering problem.

The events_stats.total field is too generic, rename it to .total_period,
and also add a comment explaining that it is the sum of all the .period
fields in samples, that is needed because we use auto-freq to avoid
sampling artifacts.
Ditto for events_stats.lost, that is the sum of all lost_event.lost
fields, i.e. the number of events the kernel dropped.
Looking at the users, builtin-sched.c can make use of these fields and
stop doing it again.
