That means that almost everything you can do with 'perf report'
can be done with 'perf diff', for instance:
$ perf record -f find / > /dev/null
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.062 MB perf.data (~2699
samples) ] $ perf record -f find / > /dev/null
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.062 MB perf.data (~2687
samples) ] perf diff | head -8
9.02% +1.00% find libc-2.10.1.so [.] _IO_vfprintf_internal
2.91% -1.00% find [kernel] [k] __kmalloc
2.85% -1.00% find [kernel] [k] ext4_htree_store_dirent
1.99% -1.00% find [kernel] [k] _atomic_dec_and_lock
2.44% find [kernel] [k] half_md4_transform
$
So if you want to zoom into libc:
$ perf diff --dsos libc-2.10.1.so | head -8
37.34% find [.] _IO_vfprintf_internal
10.34% find [.] __GI_memmove
8.25% +2.00% find [.] _int_malloc
5.07% -1.00% find [.] __GI_mempcpy
7.62% +2.00% find [.] _int_free
$
And if there were multiple commands using libc, it is also
possible to aggregate them all by using --sort symbol:
$ perf diff --dsos libc-2.10.1.so --sort symbol | head -8
37.34% [.] _IO_vfprintf_internal
10.34% [.] __GI_memmove
8.25% +2.00% [.] _int_malloc
5.07% -1.00% [.] __GI_mempcpy
7.62% +2.00% [.] _int_free
$
The displacement column now is off by default, to use it:
perf diff -m --dsos libc-2.10.1.so --sort symbol | head -8
37.34% [.] _IO_vfprintf_internal
10.34% [.] __GI_memmove
8.25% +2.00% [.] _int_malloc
5.07% -1.00% +2 [.] __GI_mempcpy
7.62% +2.00% -1 [.] _int_free
$
Using -t/--field-separator can be used for scripting:
$ perf diff -t, -m --dsos libc-2.10.1.so --sort symbol | head -8
37.34, , ,[.] _IO_vfprintf_internal
10.34, , ,[.] __GI_memmove
8.25,+2.00%, ,[.] _int_malloc
5.07,-1.00%, +2,[.] __GI_mempcpy
7.62,+2.00%, -1,[.] _int_free
6.99,+1.00%, -1,[.] _IO_new_file_xsputn

With out this patch, it shows just "No probe point found."
This doesn't help users if they specify several probes.
e.g.
# perf probe -f --add schedule --add test
Fatal: No probe point found.
This patch makes error message more helpful as below.
# perf probe --add schedule --add test
Fatal: Probe point 'test' not found. - probe not added.

This also exposes map__load() for getting vmlinux path,

because symbol.c already has that. Checking build-id
prevents users to open old or different debuginfo from

or

e.g.
./perf probe --add myprobe1=schedule

One oversight of the original scripting_ops patch was a lack of
support for passing args to handler scripts. This adds
argc/argv to the start_script() scripting_op, and changes the

value currently hard-coded. It also takes the opportunity to do
some related minor cleanup.

There is still some more work to do to disentangle map creation
from DSO loading, but this happens only for the kernel, and for
the early adopters of perf diff, where this disentanglement
matters most, we'll be testing different kernels, so no problem
here.
Further clarification: right now we create the kernel maps for
the various modules and discontiguous kernel text maps when
loading the DSO, we should do it as a two step process, first
creating the maps, for multiple mappings with the same DSO
store, then doing the dso load just once, for the first hit on
one of the maps sharing this DSO backing store.

Configurable via symbol_conf.sort_by_name, so that the cost of an
extra rb_node on all 'struct symbol' instances is not paid by tools
that only want to decode addresses.
How to use it:
symbol_conf.sort_by_name = true;
symbol_init(&symbol_conf);
struct map *map = map_groups__find_by_name(kmaps, MAP__VARIABLE, "[kernel.kallsyms]");
if (map == NULL) {
pr_err("couldn't find map!\n");
kernel_maps__fprintf(stdout);
} else {
struct symbol *sym = map__find_symbol_by_name(map, sym_filter, NULL);
if (sym == NULL)
pr_err("couldn't find symbol %s!\n", sym_filter);
else
pr_info("symbol %s: %#Lx-%#Lx \n", sym_filter, sym->start, sym->end);
}
Looking over the vmlinux/kallsyms is common enough that I'll add a
variable to the upcoming struct perf_session to avoid the need to
use map_groups__find_by_name to get the main vmlinux/kallsyms map.
The above example looks on the 'variable' symtab, but it is just
like that for the functions one.
Also the sort operation is done when we first use
map__find_symbol_by_name, in a lazy way.

So it works with both /proc/kallsyms and with ELF symtabs, either
the one on the vmlinux explicitely passed via --vmlinux or in one
in the vmlinux_path that matches the buildid for the running kernel
or the one found in the buildid header section in a perf.data file.

Using a struct thread instance just to hold the kernel space maps
(vmlinux + modules) is overkill and confuses people trying to
understand the perf symbols abstractions.
The kernel maps are really present in all threads, i.e. the kernel
is a library, not a separate thread.
So introduce the 'map_groups' abstraction and use it for the kernel
maps, now in the kmaps global variable.
It, in turn, will move, together with the threads list to the
perf_file abstraction, so that we can support multiple perf_file
instances, needed by perf diff.

Uses of strcat are almost always signs that someone is too lazy

This is one case where the size of the object code for me is
reduced by 38 bytes. The code should also be faster, especially

Currently, sample event data is parsed for each commands, and it
is assuming that the data is not including other data. (E.g.
timechart, trace, etc. can't parse the event if it has
PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN)
So, even if we record the superset data for multiple commands at
a time, commands can't parse. etc.
To fix it, this makes common sample event parser, and use it to
parse sample event correctly. (PERF_SAMPLE_READ is unsupported
for now though, it seems to be not using.)

The Perl scripting support for perf trace allows most of a trace
event's data to be accessed directly as handler arguments, but
not all of it e.g. the less common fields aren't passed in. To
give scripts access to the other fields and/or any other data or
metadata in the main perf executable that might be useful, a way
to access the C data in perf from Perl is needed; this patch
uses the Perl XS facility to do it for the common_xxx event
fields not passed to handler functions.
Context.pm exports three functions to Perl scripts that access
fields for the current event by calling back into perf:
common_pc(), common_flags() and common_lock_depth(). Support
for common_flags() field values was added to Core.pm and a
script used to sanity check these and other basic scripting
features, check-perf-trace.pl, was also added.

Implement trace_scripting_ops to make Perl a supported perf

Additionally adds code that allows Perl trace scripts to access

Also adds the Perl implementation of the generate_script()

script based on existing trace data. Scripts generated by this
implementation print out all the fields for each event mentioned
in perf.data (and will detect and generate the proper scripting
code for 'flag' and 'symbolic' fields), and will additionally
generate handlers for the special 'trace_unhandled',
'trace_begin' and 'trace_end' handlers. Script authors can
simply remove the printing code to implement their own custom
event handling.

It's useful to know whether a field is a flag or symbolic field
for e.g. when generating scripts - it allows us to translate
those fields specially rather than literally as plain numeric
values.

Adds an interface, scripting_ops, that when implemented for a
particular scripting language enables built-in support for trace
stream processing using that language.
The interface is designed to enable full-fledged language
interpreters to be embedded inside the perf executable and
thereby make the full capabilities of the supported languages
available for trace processing.
See below for details on the interface.
This patch also adds a couple command-line options to 'perf
trace':
The -s option option is used to specify the script to be run.
Script names that can be used with -s take the form:
[language spec:]scriptname[.ext]
Scripting languages register a set of 'language specs' that can
be used to specify scripts for the registered languages. The
specs can be used either as prefixes or extensions.
If [language spec:] is used, the script is taken as a script of
the matching language regardless of any extension it might have.
If [language spec:] is not used, [.ext] is used to look up the
language it corresponds to. Language specs are case
insensitive.
e.g. Perl scripts can be specified in the following ways:
Perl:scriptname
pl:scriptname.py # extension ignored
PL:scriptname
scriptname.pl
scriptname.perl
The -g [language spec] option gives users an easy starting point
for writing scripts in the specified language. Scripting
support for a particular language can implement a
generate_script() scripting op that outputs an empty (or
near-empty) set of handlers for all the events contained in a
given perf.data trace file - this option gives users a direct
way to access that.
Adding support for a scripting language
---------------------------------------
The main thing that needs to be done do add support for a new
language is to implement the scripting_ops interface:
It consists of the following four functions:
start_script()
stop_script()
process_event()
generate_script()
start_script() is called before any events are processed, and is
meant to give the scripting language support an opportunity to
set things up to receive events e.g. create and initialize an
instance of a language interpreter.
stop_script() is called after all events are processed, and is
meant to give the scripting language support an opportunity to
clean up e.g. destroy the interpreter instance, etc.
process_event() is called once for each event and takes as its
main parameter a pointer to the binary trace event record to be
processed. The implementation is responsible for picking out the
binary fields from the event record and sending them to the
script handler function associated with that event e.g. a
function derived from the event name it's meant to handle e.g.
'sched::sched_switch()'. The 'format' information for trace
events can be used to parse the binary data and map it into a
form usable by a given scripting language; see the Perl
implemention in subsequent patches for one possible way to
leverage the existing trace format parsing code in perf and map
that info into specific scripting language types.
generate_script() should generate a ready-to-run script for the
current set of events in the trace, preferably with bodies that
print out every field for each event. Again, look at the Perl
implementation for clues as to how that can be done. This is an
optional, but very useful op.
Support for a given language should also add a language-specific
setup function and call it from setup_scripting(). The
language-specific setup function associates the the scripting
ops for that language with one or more 'language specifiers'
(see below) using script_spec_register(). When a script name is
specified on the command line, the scripting ops associated with
the specified language are used to instantiate and use the
appropriate interpreter to process the trace stream.
In general, it should be relatively easy to add support for a
new language, especially if the language implementation supports
an interface allowing an interpreter to be 'embedded' inside
another program (in this case the containing program will be
'perf trace'). If so, it should be relatively straightforward to
translate trace events into invocations of user-defined script
functions where e.g. the function name corresponds to the event
type and the function parameters correspond to the event fields.
The event and field type information exported by the event
tracing infrastructure (via the event 'format' files) should be
enough to parse and send any piece of trace data to the user
script. The easiest way to see how this can be done would be to
look at the Perl implementation contained in
perf/util/trace-event-perl.c/.h.
There are a couple of other things that aren't covered by the
scripting_ops or setup interface and are technically optional,
but should be implemented if possible. One of these is support
for 'flag' and 'symbolic' fields e.g. being able to use more
human-readable values such as 'GFP_KERNEL' or
HI/BLOCK_IOPOLL/TASKLET in place of raw flag values. See the
Perl implementation to see how this can be done. The other thing
is support for 'calling back' into the perf executable to access
e.g. uncommon fields not passed by default into handler
functions, or any metadata the implementation might want to make
available to users via the language interface. Again, see the
Perl implementation for examples.

Now we have a very high level routine for simple tools to
process IP sample events:
int event__preprocess_sample(const event_t *self,
struct addr_location *al,
symbol_filter_t filter)
It receives the event itself and will insert new threads in the
global threads list and resolve the map and symbol, filling all
this info into the new addr_location struct, so that tools like
annotate and report can further process the event by creating
hist_entries in their specific way (with or without callgraphs,
etc).
It in turn uses the new next layer function:
void thread__find_addr_location(struct thread *self, u8 cpumode,
enum map_type type, u64 addr,
struct addr_location *al,
symbol_filter_t filter)
This one will, given a thread (userspace or the kernel kthread
one), will find the given type (MAP__FUNCTION now, MAP__VARIABLE
too in the near future) at the given cpumode, taking vdsos into
account (userspace hit, but kernel symbol) and will fill all
these details in the addr_location given.
Tools that need a more compact API for plain function
resolution, like 'kmem', can use this other one:
struct symbol *thread__find_function(struct thread *self, u64 addr,
symbol_filter_t filter)
So, to resolve a kernel symbol, that is all the 'kmem' tool
needs, its just a matter of calling:
sym = thread__find_function(kthread, addr, NULL);
The 'filter' parameter is needed because we do lazy
parsing/loading of ELF symtabs or /proc/kallsyms.
With this we remove more code duplication all around, which is
always good, huh? :-)

While implementing event__preprocess_sample, that will do all of
the symbol lookup in one convenient function, I noticed that
util/process_event.[ch] were not being used at all, then started
looking if there were other functions that could be shared
and...
All those functions really don't need to receive offset + head,
the only thing they did was common to all of them, so do it at
one place instead.
Stats about number of each type of event processed now is done

Making the routines that were so far specific to the kernel maps
useful for all threads.
This is done by making the kernel maps be contained in a kernel

This gets the kernel specific routines closer to the userspace
counterparts, which will help in reducing the boilerplate for
resolving a symbol, as will be demonstrated in the next patches.

The reason is that we still have a #define __KERNEL__ in effect

We better call this routine after both the kernel and modules
are loaded, because as it was if there weren't modules it would not
be called, resulting in kernel_map->end remaining at zero, so no
map would be found and consequently the kernel symtab wouldn't
get loaded, i.e. no kernel symbols would be resolved.
Also this fixes another case, that is when we _have_ modules,
but the last map would have its ->end address not set before we
loaded its symbols, which would never happen because ->end was
not set.

E.g.:
[root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]# perf top -v --vmlinux
../build/tip/vmlinux > /dev/null build_id in vmlinux is
e96699725a47413a50c231864a8e7a8ced40a31b while expected is
18e7cc53db62a7d35e9d6f6c9ddc23017d38ee9a, ignoring it
I.e. perf top was told to use a vmlinux file that is not the one
currently running on the machine, it ignores it and falls back
to using /proc/kallsyms.
This solves many, at first, mysterious results when people have
a stale vmlinux file while keeping the default of trying to use
the vmlinux file in the current directory in things like 'perf
annotate' where the DWARF info is required and thus we can't use
just /proc/kallsyms.
Modules buildids are already being checked as of the previous
changeset in this series, because we are using the default
dso__load routine, that will look at a series of places looking
for the best file with a matching buildid, starting in the
-debuginfo directories.

Just like we do with the other DSOs. This also simplifies the
kernel_maps setup process, now all that the tools need to do is
to call kernel_maps__init and the maps for the modules and
kernel will be created, then, later, when
kernel_maps__find_symbol() is used, it will also call
maps__find_symbol that already checks if the symtab was loaded,
loading it if needed.
Now if one does 'perf top --hide_kernel_symbols' we won't pay
the price of loading the (many) symbols in /proc/kallsyms or
vmlinux.

In the kernel we have more than one notes section, so the linker
script combines all and puts them into a ".notes" combined
section. So we need to look at both sections and also traverse
them looking at multiple GElf_Nhdr entries till we find the one
we want, with the build_id.

It should just load kernel symbols, not load the list of
modules. There are more stuff to move to other routines, but
lets do it in several steps.
End goal is to be able to defer symbol table loading till we
find a hit for that map address range. So that the kernel &
modules are handled just like all the other DSOs in the system.

Several refactorings were needed so that we can have symmetry
between dsos__load_modules() and dsos__load_kernel(), i.e. those
functions will respectively create and add to the dsos list the
loaded modules and kernel, with its buildids, but not load its
symbols. That is something the subcomands that need will have to
call dso__load_kernel_sym(), just like we do with modules with
dsos__load_module_sym()/dso__load_module_sym().
Next csets will actually use this info to stop producing bogus
results using mismatched vmlinux and .ko files.

When we read the build_id from the DSO name to then index into
/usr/lib/debug/.buildid/DSO_BUILD_ID[0:2]/DSO_BUILD_ID[2:], we
were jumping directly to the comparision with the buildid we
already have in dso->build_id (that came from the perf.data
build_id section, collected at perf record time)
unconditionally, even if we didn't had recorded it, and
furthermore, comparing a formatted buildid with a rawbuildid, yikes.
Fix it by deleting the dso__read_build_id() function, that was
really misdesigned anyway, and do the necessary checks and
correct comparison of raw buildids.

Build a set of section headers for features right after the
datas. Each implemented feature will have one of such section
header that provides the offset and the size of the data
manipulated by the feature.
The trace informations have moved after the data and are
recorded on exit time.
The new layout is as follows:
-----------------------
___
[ magic ] |
[ header size ] |
[ attr size ] |
[ attr content offset ] |
[ attr content size ] |
[ data offset ] File Headers
[ data size ] |
[ event_types offset ] |
[ event_types size ] |
[ feature bitmap ] v
[ attr section ]
[ events section ]
___
[ X ] |
[ X ] |
[ X ] Datas
[ X ] |
[ X ] v
___
[ Feature 1 offset ] |
[ Feature 1 size ] Features headers
[ Feature 2 offset ] |
[ Feature 2 size ] v
[ Feature 1 content ]
[ Feature 2 content ]
-----------------------
We have as many feature's section headers as we have features in
use for the current file.
Say Feat 1 and Feat 3 are used by the file, but not Feat 2. Then
the feature headers will be like follows:
[ Feature 1 offset ] |
[ Feature 1 size ] Features headers
[ Feature 3 offset ] |
[ Feature 3 size ] v
There is no hole to cover Feature 2 that is not in use here. We
only need to cover the needed headers in order, from the lowest
feature bit to the highest.
Currently we have two features: HEADER_TRACE_INFO and
HEADER_BUILD_ID. Both have their contents that follow the
feature headers. Putting the contents right after the feature
headers is not mandatory though. While we keep the feature
headers right after the data and in order, their offsets can
point everywhere. We have just put the two above feature
contents in the end of the file for convenience.
The purpose of this layout change is to have a file format that
scales while keeping it simple: having such linear feature
headers is less error prone wrt forward/backward compatibility
as the content of a feature can be put anywhere, its location
can even change by the time, it's fine because its headers will
tell where it is. And we know how to find these headers,
following the above rules.

We are saving the build id once we stop the profiling. And only
after doing that we know if we need to set that feature in the
header through the feature bitmap.
But if we want a proper feature support in the headers, using a
rule of offset/size pairs in sections, we need to know in
advance how many features we need to set in the headers, so that
we can reserve rooms for their section headers.
The current state doesn't allow that, as it forces us to first
save the build-ids to the file right after the datas instead of
planning any structured layout.
That's why this splits up the build-ids processing in two parts:
one that fetches the build-ids from the Dso objects, and one
that saves them into the file.

With this change 'perf record' will intercept PERF_RECORD_MMAP
calls, creating a linked list of DSOs, then when the session
finishes, it will traverse this list and read the buildids,
stashing them at the end of the file and will set up a new
feature bit in the header bitmask.
'perf report' will then notice this feature and populate the
'dsos' list and set the build ids.
When reading the symtabs it will refuse to load from a file that
doesn't have the same build id. This improves the
reliability of the profiler output, as symbols and profiling
data is more guaranteed to match.
Example:
[root@doppio ~]# perf report | head
/home/acme/bin/perf with build id b1ea544ac3746e7538972548a09aadecc5753868 not found, continuing without symbols
# Samples: 2621434559
#
# Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol
# ........ ............... ............................. ......
#
7.91% init [kernel] [k] read_hpet
7.64% init [kernel] [k] mwait_idle_with_hints
7.60% swapper [kernel] [k] read_hpet
7.60% swapper [kernel] [k] mwait_idle_with_hints
3.65% init [kernel] [k] 0xffffffffa02339d9
[root@doppio ~]#
In this case the 'perf' binary was an older one, vanished,
so its symbols probably wouldn't match or would cause subtly
different (and misleading) output.
Next patches will support the kernel as well, reading the build
id notes for it and the modules from /sys.
Another patch should also introduce a new plumbing command:
'perf list-buildids'
that will then be used in porcelain that is distro specific to
fetch -debuginfo packages where such buildids are present. This
will in turn allow for one to run 'perf record' in one machine
and 'perf report' in another.
Future work on having the buildid sent directly from the kernel
in the PERF_RECORD_MMAP event is needed to close races, as the
DSO can be changed during a 'perf record' session, but this
patch at least helps with non-corner cases and current/older
kernels.

Conflicts:
tools/perf/Makefile
Merge reason: Resolve the conflict, merge to upstream and merge in
perf fixes so we can add a dependent patch.

Brown paper bag bug introduced in:
66bd8424cc ("perf tools: Delay
loading symtabs till we hit a map with it")
Without this we were not loading any symtabs that happened to be
on a DSO for which the allocated memory for ->loaded was !0.

Fix:
util/map.c: In function ‘map__find_symbol’:
util/map.c:97: error: field precision should have type ‘int’, but argument 3 has type ‘size_t’
Also clean up some line wrap damage - we dont line-wrap printk
messages.

Instead of:
no symbols found in /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgsttypefindfunctions.so (deleted), maybe install a debug package?
no symbols found in /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstaudioconvert.so (deleted), maybe install a debug package?
We now emit:
/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgsttypefindfunctions.so was updated, restart the long running apps that use it!
/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstaudioconvert.so was updated, restart the long running apps that use it!
Which is far less misleading about what the cause of the
symbol mismatch is.

Before we were storing this in the DSO, but in fact this is a
property of the 'symbol' class, not something that will vary
among DSOs, so move it to a global variable and initialize it
using the existing symbol__init routine.

Add function-entry relative line number specifying support to
perf-probe. This allows users to define probes by line number
from entry of the function.
e.g.
perf probe schedule:16

This changes probe point syntax of perf-probe as below
<SRC>[:ABS_LN] [ARGS]
or
<FUNC>[+OFFS|%return][@SRC] [ARGS]
And event name and event group name are automatically
generated based on probe-symbol and offset as below.
perfprobes/SYMBOL_OFFSET[_NUM]
Where SYMBOL is the probing symbol and OFFSET is
the byte offset from the symbol.
