Tom Zanussi cbb5cf7ff6 perf: Use read() instead of lseek() in trace_event_read.c:skip()
This is a small fix for a problem affecting live-mode, introduced
recently:

root@tropicana:~# perf trace rwtop
perf trace started with Perl
script /root/libexec/perf-core/scripts/perl/rwtop.pl

  Fatal: did not read header event

commit d00a47cce5 added a skip()
function to skip over e.g. header_page, but this doesn't work for
live mode.  This patch re-implements skip() to use read() instead of
lseek() to fix that.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo f869097e88 perf session: Make read_build_id routines look at the host_machine too
The changes made to support host and guest machines in a session, that
started when the 'perf kvm' tool was introduced ended up introducing a
bug where the host_machine was not having its DSOs traversed for
build-id processing.

Fix it by moving some methods to the right classes and considering the
host_machine when processing build-ids.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo a41794cdd7 perf tools: Remove some unused functions
Without the bloated cplus_demangle from binutils, i.e building with:

$ make NO_DEMANGLE=1 O=~acme/git/build/perf -j3 -C tools/perf/ install

Before:

   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
 471851	  29280	4025056	4526187	 45106b	/home/acme/bin/perf

After:

[acme@doppio linux-2.6-tip]$ size ~/bin/perf
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
 446886	  29232	4008576	4484694	 446e56	/home/acme/bin/perf

So its a 5.3% size reduction in code, but the interesting part is in the git
diff --stat output:

 19 files changed, 20 insertions(+), 1909 deletions(-)

If we ever need some of the things we got from git but weren't using, we just
have to go to the git repo and get fresh, uptodate source code bits.

Stephane Eranian 5af52b51f7 perf stat: add perf stat -B to pretty print large numbers
It is hard to read very large numbers so provide an option to perf stat
to separate thousands using a separator. The patch leverages the locale
support of stdio. You need to set your LC_NUMERIC appropriately, for
instance LC_NUMERIC=en_US.UTF8. You need to pass -B to activate this
feature. This way existing scripts parsing the output do not need to be
changed. Here is an example.

$ perf stat noploop 2
noploop for 2 seconds

OPT_SET_INT was renamed to OPT_SET_UINT since the only use in these
tools is to set something that has an enum type, that is builtin
compatible with unsigned int.

Several string constifications were done to make OPT_STRING require a
const char * type.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 1967936d68 perf options: Check v type in OPT_U?INTEGER
To avoid problems like the one fixed by Stephane Eranian in 3de29ca, now
we'll got this instead:

	bench/sched-messaging.c:259: error: negative width in bit-field ‘<anonymous>’
	bench/sched-messaging.c:261: error: negative width in bit-field ‘<anonymous>’

Which is rather cryptic, but is how BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO works, so kernel
hackers should be already used to this.

With it in place found some problems, fixed by changing the affected
variables to sensible types or changed some OPT_INTEGER to OPT_UINTEGER.

Next csets will go thru converting each of the remaining OPT_ so that
review can be made easier by grouping changes per type per patch.

Stephane Eranian 3de29cab1f perf record: Fix bug mismatch with -c option definition
The -c option defines the user requested sampling period. It was implemented
using an unsigned int variable but the type of the option was OPT_LONG. Thus,
the option parser was overwriting memory belonging to other variables, namely
the mmap_pages leading to a zero page sampling buffer. The bug was exposed only
when compiling at -O0, probably because the compiler was padding variables at
higher optimization levels.

This patch fixes this problem by declaring user_interval as u64. This also
avoids wrap-around issues for large period on 32-bit systems.

Commiter note:

Made it use OPT_U64(user_interval) after implementing OPT_U64 in the
previous patch.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 3e1bbdc3a7 perf newt: Make <- zoom out filters
After we use the filters to zoom into DSOs or threads, we can use <-
(left arrow) to zoom out from the last filter applied.

It is still possible to zoom out of order by using the popup menu.

With this we now have the zoom out operation on the browsing fast path,
by allowing fast navigation using just the four arrors and the enter key
to expand collapse callchains.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo c82ee828aa perf report: Report number of events, not samples
Number of samples is meaningless after we switched to auto-freq, so
report the number of events, i.e. not the sum of the different periods,
but the number PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE emitted by the kernel.

While doing this I noticed that naming "count" to the sum of all the
event periods can be confusing, so rename it to .period, just like in
struct sample.data, so that we become more consistent.

This helps with the next step, that was to record in struct hist_entry
the number of sample events for each instance, we need that because we
use it to generate the number of events when applying filters to the
tree of hist entries like it is being done in the TUI report browser.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo cee75ac7ec perf hist: Clarify events_stats fields usage
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.

Stephane Eranian 2e6cdf996b perf tools: change event inheritance logic in stat and record
By default, event inheritance across fork and pthread_create was on but the -i
option of stat and record, which enabled inheritance, led to believe it was off
by default.

This patch fixes this logic by inverting the meaning of the -i option.  By
default inheritance is on whether you attach to a process (-p), a thread (-t)
or start a process. If you pass -i, then you turn off inheritance. Turning off
inheritance if you don't need it, helps limit perf resource usage as well.

The patch also fixes perf stat -t xxxx and perf record -t xxxx which did not
start the counters.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo ef7b93a119 perf report: Librarize the annotation code and use it in the newt browser
Now we don't anymore use popen to run 'perf annotate' for the selected
symbol, instead we collect per address samplings when processing samples
in 'perf report' if we're using the newt browser, then we use this data
directly to do annotation.

Done this way we can actually traverse the objdump_line objects
directly, matching the addresses to the collected samples and colouring
them appropriately using lower level slang routines.

The new ui_browser class will be reused for the main, callchain aware,
histogram browser, when it will be made generic and don't assume that
the objects are always instances of the objdump_line class maintained
using list_heads.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 1c02c4d2e9 perf hist: Introduce hists class and move lots of methods to it
In cbbc79a we introduced support for multiple events by introducing a
new "event_stat_id" struct and then made several perf_session methods
receive a point to it instead of a pointer to perf_session, and kept the
event_stats and hists rb_tree in perf_session.

While working on the new newt based browser, I realised that it would be
better to introduce a new class, "hists" (short for "histograms"),
renaming the "event_stat_id" struct and the perf_session methods that
were really "hists" methods, as they manipulate only struct hists
members, not touching anything in the other perf_session members.

Other optimizations, such as calculating the maximum lenght of a symbol
name present in an hists instance will be possible as we add them,
avoiding a re-traversal just for finding that information.

The rationale for the name "hists" to replace "event_stat_id" is that we
may have multiple sets of hists for the same event_stat id, as, for
instance, the 'perf diff' tool has, so event stat id is not what
characterizes what this struct and the functions that manipulate it do.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 4cc4945844 perf symbols: Check if a struct machine instance was found
Which can happen when processing old files that had no fake kernel MMAP,
events.

That shouldn't result in perf_session__create_kernel_maps not being
called, this will be fixed in a followup patch, for now do these checks
to avoid segfaulting.

Hitoshi Mitake 76ba7e846f perf lock: Drop "-a" option from cmd_record() default arguments set
This patch drops "-a" from the default arguments passed to
perf record by perf lock.

If a user wants to do a system wide record of lock events,
        perf lock record -a <program> <argument> ...
is enough for this purpose.

This can reduce the size of the perf.data file.

Tom Zanussi 794e43b56c perf/live-mode: Handle payload-less events
Some events, such as the PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND event consist of
only an event header and no data.  In this case, a 0-length payload
will be read, and the 0 return value will be wrongly interpreted as an
'unexpected end of event stream'.

This patch allows for proper handling of data-less events by skipping
0-length reads.

Frederic Weisbecker d6b17bebd7 perf: Provide a new deterministic events reordering algorithm
The current events reordering algorithm is based on a heuristic that
gets broken once we deal with a very fast flow of events.

Indeed the time period based flushing is not suitable anymore
in the following case, assuming we have a flush period of two
seconds.

    CPU 0           |        CPU 1
                    |
  cnt1 timestamps   |      cnt1 timestamps
                    |
    0               |         0
    1               |         1
    2               |         2
    3               |         3
    [...]           |        [...]
    4 seconds later

If we spend too much time to read the buffers (case of a lot of
events to record in each buffers or when we have a lot of CPU buffers
to read), in the next pass the CPU 0 buffer could contain a slice
of several seconds of events. We'll read them all and notice we've
reached the period to flush. In the above example we flush the first
half of the CPU 0 buffer, then we read the CPU 1 buffer where we
have events that were on the flush slice and then the reordering
fails.

It's simple to reproduce with:

	perf lock record perf bench sched messaging

To solve this, we use a new solution that doesn't rely on an
heuristical time slice period anymore but on a deterministic basis
based on how perf record does its job.

perf record saves the buffers through passes. A pass is a tour
on every buffers from every CPUs. This is made in order: for
each CPU we read the buffers of every counters. So the more
buffers we visit, the later will be the timstamps of their events.

When perf record finishes a pass it records a
PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND pseudo event.
We record the max timestamp t found in the pass n. Assuming these
timestamps are monotonic across cpus, we know that if a buffer
still has events with timestamps below t, they will be all available
and then read in the pass n + 1.
Hence when we start to read the pass n + 2, we can safely flush every
events with timestamps below t.

      ============ PASS n =================
         CPU 0         |   CPU 1
                       |
      cnt1 timestamps  |   cnt2 timestamps
            1          |         2
            2          |         3
            -          |         4  <--- max recorded

      ============ PASS n + 1 ==============
         CPU 0         |   CPU 1
                       |
      cnt1 timestamps  |   cnt2 timestamps
            3          |         5
            4          |         6
            5          |         7 <---- max recorded

        Flush every events below timestamp 4

      ============ PASS n + 2 ==============
         CPU 0         |   CPU 1
                       |
      cnt1 timestamps  |   cnt2 timestamps
            6          |         8
            7          |         9
            -          |         10

        Flush every events below timestamp 7
        etc...

It also works on perf.data versions that don't have
PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND pseudo events. The difference is that
the events will be only flushed in the end of the perf.data
processing. It will then consume more memory and scale less with
large perf.data files.

Peter Zijlstra ab608344bc perf, x86: Improve the PEBS ABI
Rename perf_event_attr::precise to perf_event_attr::precise_ip and
widen it to 2 bits. This new field describes the required precision of
the PERF_SAMPLE_IP field:

  0 - SAMPLE_IP can have arbitrary skid
  1 - SAMPLE_IP must have constant skid
  2 - SAMPLE_IP requested to have 0 skid
  3 - SAMPLE_IP must have 0 skid

And modify the Intel PEBS code accordingly. The PEBS implementation
now supports up to precise_ip == 2, where we perform the IP fixup.

Also s/PERF_RECORD_MISC_EXACT/&_IP/ to clarify its meaning, this bit
should be set for each PERF_SAMPLE_IP field known to match the actual
instruction triggering the event.

This new scheme allows for a PEBS mode that uses the buffer for more
than a single event.

Fix a couple of inefficiencies and redundancies related to
have_tracepoints() and its use when checking whether to write
TRACE_INFO.

First, there's no need to use get_tracepoints_path() in
have_tracepoints() - we really just want the part that checks whether
any attributes correspondo to tracepoints.

Second, we really don't care about raw_samples per se - tracepoints
are always raw_samples.  In any case, the have_tracepoints() check
should be sufficient to decide whether or not to write TRACE_INFO.

Anton Blanchard 02bf60aad7 perf: Fix performance issue with perf report
On a large machine we spend a lot of time in perf_header__find_attr when
running perf report.

If we are parsing a file without PERF_SAMPLE_ID then for each sample we call
perf_header__find_attr and loop through all counter IDs, never finding a match.
As the machine gets larger there are more per cpu counters and we spend an
awful lot of time in there.

The patch below initialises each sample id to -1ULL and checks for this in
perf_header__find_attr. We may need to do something more intelligent eventually
(eg a hash lookup from counter id to attr) but this at least fixes the most
common usage of perf report.

[root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]#

The new 'perf inject' command hadn't so it wasn't appearing on that list.

Also fix the long option, that should have no spaces in it, rename the faulty one
to be '--build-ids', instead of '--inject build-ids'.

Tom Zanussi 63e0c7715a perf: record TRACE_INFO only if using tracepoints and SAMPLE_RAW
The current perf code implicitly assumes SAMPLE_RAW means tracepoints
are being used, but doesn't check for that.  It happily records the
TRACE_INFO even if SAMPLE_RAW is used without tracepoints, but when the
perf data is read it won't go any further when it finds TRACE_INFO but
no tracepoints, and displays misleading errors.

This adds a check for both in perf-record, and won't record TRACE_INFO
unless both are true.  This at least allows perf report -D to dump raw
events, and avoids triggering a misleading error condition in perf
trace.  It doesn't actually enable the non-tracepoint raw events to be
displayed in perf trace, since perf trace currently only deals with
tracepoint events.

Tom Zanussi 454c407ec1 perf: add perf-inject builtin
Currently, perf 'live mode' writes build-ids at the end of the
session, which isn't actually useful for processing live mode events.

What would be better would be to have the build-ids sent before any of
the samples that reference them, which can be done by processing the
event stream and retrieving the build-ids on the first hit.  Doing
that in perf-record itself, however, is off-limits.

This patch introduces perf-inject, which does the same job while
leaving perf-record untouched.  Normal mode perf still records the
build-ids at the end of the session as it should, but for live mode,
perf-inject can be injected in between the record and report steps
e.g.:

perf record -o - ./hackbench 10 | perf inject -v -b | perf report -v -i -

perf-inject reads a perf-record event stream and repipes it to stdout.
At any point the processing code can inject other events into the
event stream - in this case build-ids (-b option) are read and
injected as needed into the event stream.

Build-ids are just the first user of perf-inject - potentially
anything that needs userspace processing to augment the trace stream
with additional information could make use of this facility.

Tom Zanussi 789688faef perf/live: don't synthesize build ids at the end of a live mode trace
It doesn't really make sense to record the build ids at the end of a
live mode session - live mode samples need that information during the
trace rather than at the end.

Leave event__synthesize_build_id() in place, however; we'll still be
using that to synthesize build ids in a more timely fashion in a
future patch.

Frederic Weisbecker d00a47cce5 perf: Fix warning while reading ring buffer headers
commit e9e94e3bd8
"perf trace: Ignore "overwrite" field if present in
/events/header_page" makes perf trace launching spurious warnings
about unexpected tokens read:

	Warning: Error: expected type 6 but read 4

This change tries to handle the overcommit field in the header_page
file whenever this field is present or not.

The problem is that if this field is not present, we try to find it
and give up in the middle of the line when we realize we are actually
dealing with another field, which is the "data" one. And this failure
abandons the file pointer in the middle of the "data" description
line:

	field: u64 timestamp;	offset:0;	size:8;	signed:0;
	field: local_t commit;	offset:8;	size:8;	signed:1;
	field: char data;	offset:16;	size:4080;	signed:1;
                      ^^^
                      Here

What happens next is that we want to read this line to parse the data
field, but we fail because the pointer is not in the beginning of the
line.

We could probably fix that by rewinding the pointer. But in fact we
don't care much about these headers that only concern the ftrace
ring-buffer. We don't use them from perf.

Just skip this part of perf.data, but don't remove it from recording
to stay compatible with olders perf.data

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 1c6a800cde perf test: Initial regression testing command
First an example with the first internal test:

[acme@doppio linux-2.6-tip]$ perf test
 1: vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms: Ok

So it run just one test, that is "vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms", and it was
successful.

If we run it in verbose mode, we'll see details about errors and extra warnings
for non-fatal problems:

[acme@doppio linux-2.6-tip]$ perf test -v
 1: vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms:
--- start ---
Looking at the vmlinux_path (5 entries long)
No build_id in vmlinux, ignoring it
No build_id in /boot/vmlinux, ignoring it
No build_id in /boot/vmlinux-2.6.34-rc4-tip+, ignoring it
Using /lib/modules/2.6.34-rc4-tip+/build/vmlinux for symbols
Maps only in vmlinux:
 ffffffff81cb81b1-ffffffff81e1149b 0 [kernel].init.text
 ffffffff81e1149c-ffffffff9fffffff 0 [kernel].exit.text
 ffffffffff600000-ffffffffff6000ff 0 [kernel].vsyscall_0
 ffffffffff600100-ffffffffff6003ff 0 [kernel].vsyscall_fn
 ffffffffff600400-ffffffffff6007ff 0 [kernel].vsyscall_1
 ffffffffff600800-ffffffffffffffff 0 [kernel].vsyscall_2
Maps in vmlinux with a different name in kallsyms:
 ffffffffff600000-ffffffffff6000ff 0 [kernel].vsyscall_0 in kallsyms as [kernel].0
 ffffffffff600100-ffffffffff6003ff 0 [kernel].vsyscall_fn in kallsyms as:
*ffffffffff600100-ffffffffff60012f 0 [kernel].2
 ffffffffff600400-ffffffffff6007ff 0 [kernel].vsyscall_1 in kallsyms as [kernel].6
 ffffffffff600800-ffffffffffffffff 0 [kernel].vsyscall_2 in kallsyms as [kernel].8
Maps only in kallsyms:
 ffffffffff600130-ffffffffff6003ff 0 [kernel].4
---- end ----
vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms: Ok
[acme@doppio linux-2.6-tip]$

In the above case we only know the name of the non contiguous kernel ranges in
the address space when reading the symbol information from the ELF symtab in
vmlinux.

The /proc/kallsyms file lack this, we only notice they are separate because
there are modules after the kernel and after that more kernel functions, so we
need to have a module rbtree backed by the module .ko path to get symtabs in
the vmlinux case.

The tool uses it to match by address to emit appropriate warning, but don't
considers this fatal.

The .init.text and .exit.text ines, of course, aren't in kallsyms, so I left
these cases just as extra info in verbose mode.

The end of the sections also aren't in kallsyms, so we the symbols layer does
another pass and sets the end addresses as the next map start minus one, which
sometimes pads, causing harmless mismatches.

But at least the symbols match, tested it by copying /proc/kallsyms to
/tmp/kallsyms and doing changes to see if they were detected.

This first test also should serve as a first stab at documenting the
symbol library by providing a self contained example that exercises it
together with comments about what is being done.

More tests to check if actions done on a monitored app, like doing mmaps, etc,
makes the kernel generate the expected events should be added next.

Frederic Weisbecker c61e52ee70 perf: Generalize perf lock's sample event reordering to the session layer
The sample events recorded by perf record are not time ordered
because we have one buffer per cpu for each event (even demultiplexed
per task/per cpu for task bound events). But when we read trace events
we want them to be ordered by time because many state machines are
involved.

There are currently two ways perf tools deal with that:

- use -M to multiplex every buffers (perf sched, perf kmem)
  But this creates a lot of contention in SMP machines on
  record time.

- use a post-processing time reordering (perf timechart, perf lock)
  The reordering used by timechart is simple but doesn't scale well
  with huge flow of events, in terms of performance and memory use
  (unusable with perf lock for example).
  Perf lock has its own samples reordering that flushes its memory
  use in a regular basis and that uses a sorting based on the
  previous event queued (a new event to be queued is close to the
  previous one most of the time).

This patch proposes to export perf lock's samples reordering facility
to the session layer that reads the events. So if a tool wants to
get ordered sample events, it needs to set its
struct perf_event_ops::ordered_samples to true and that's it.

This prepares tracing based perf tools to get rid of the need to
use buffers multiplexing (-M) or to implement their own
reordering.

Also lower the flush period to 2 as it's sufficient already.

Hitoshi Mitake e4cef1f650 perf lock: Fix state machine to recognize lock sequence
Previous state machine of perf lock was really broken.
This patch improves it a little.

This patch prepares the list of state machine that represents
lock sequences for each threads.

These state machines can be one of these sequences:

      1) acquire -> acquired -> release
      2) acquire -> contended -> acquired -> release
      3) acquire (w/ try) -> release
      4) acquire (w/ read) -> release

The case of 4) is a little special.
Double acquire of read lock is allowed, so the state machine
counts read lock number, and permits double acquire and release.

But, things are not so simple. Something in my model is still wrong.
I counted the number of lock instances with bad sequence,
and ratio is like this (case of tracing whoami): bad:233, total:2279

version 2:
 * threads are now identified with tid, not pid
 * prepared SEQ_STATE_READ_ACQUIRED for read lock.
 * bunch of struct lock_seq_stat is now linked list
 * debug information enhanced (this have to be removed someday)
   e.g.
     | === output for debug===
     |
     | bad:233, total:2279
     | bad rate:0.000000
     | histogram of events caused bad sequence
     |     acquire: 165
     |    acquired: 0
     |   contended: 0
     |     release: 68

Frederic Weisbecker f921281930 perf: Make the trace events sample period default to 1
Trace events are mostly used for tracing and then require not to
be lost when possible. As opposite to hardware events that really
require to trigger after a given sample period, trace events mostly
need to trigger everytime.

It is a frustrating experience to trace with perf and realize we
lost a lot of events because we forgot the "-c 1" option.

Then default sample_period to 1 for trace events but let the user
override it.

Thomas Gleixner a1e2f60e3e perf: Fix dynamic field detection
Checking if a tracing field is an array with a dynamic length
requires to check the field type and seek the "__data_loc"
string that prepends the actual type, as can be found in a trace
event format file:

	field:__data_loc char[] name;	offset:16;	size:4;	signed:1;

But we actually use strcmp() to check if the field type fully
matches "__data_loc", which may fail as we trip over the rest of
the type.

To fix this, use strncmp to only check if it starts with
"__data_loc".

is refering a data-structure member.

e.g.
 ./perf probe --add 'vfs_read file->f_mode'
 Add new event:
   probe:vfs_read       (on vfs_read with f_mode=file->f_mode)

 This probe records file->f_mode, but the argument name becomes "f_mode".

This enables perf-trace command to parse trace event format correctly.

you can add 'NAME=' right before each argument.

e.g.

 then, 'foo' is set to the argument name as below.

  ./perf probe -l
  probe:vfs_read       (on vfs_read@linux-2.6-tip/fs/read_write.c with foo)

Frederic Weisbecker fcd1498405 perf tools: Fix accidentally preprocessed snprintf callback
struct sort_entry has a callback named snprintf that turns an
entry into a string result.
But there are glibc versions that implement snprintf through a
macro. The following expression is then going to get the snprintf
call preprocessed:

        ent->snprintf(...)

to finally end up in a build error:

        util/hist.c: Dans la fonction «hist_entry__snprintf» :
        util/hist.c:539: erreur: «struct sort_entry» has no member named «__builtin___snprintf_chk»

To fix this, prepend struct sort_entry callbacks with an "se_"
prefix.

Tom Zanussi a0cccc2e8e perf trace: Invoke live mode automatically if record/report not specified
Currently, live mode is invoked by explicitly invoking the
record and report sides and connecting them with a pipe e.g.

 $ perf trace record rwtop -o - | perf trace report rwtop 5 -i -

In terms of usability, it's not that bad, but it does require
the user to type and remember more than necessary.

This patch allows the user to accomplish the same thing without
specifying the separate record/report steps or the pipe.  So the
same command as above can be accomplished more simply as:

 $ perf trace rwtop 5

Notice that the '-i -' and '-o -' aren't required in this case -
they're added internally, and that any extra arguments are
passed along to the report script (but not to the record
script).

The overall effect is that any of the scripts listed in 'perf
trace -l' can now be used directly in live mode, with the
expected arguments, by simply specifying the script and args to
'perf trace'.

Tom Zanussi 47902f3611 perf trace/scripting: Add rwtop and sctop scripts
A couple of scripts, one in Python and the other in Perl, that
demonstrate 'live mode' tracing.  For each, the output of the
perf event stream is fed continuously to the script, which
continuously aggregates the data and reports the current results
every 3 seconds, or at the optionally specified interval.  After
the current results are displayed, the aggregations are cleared
and the cycle begins anew.

To run the scripts, simply pipe the output of the 'perf trace
record' step as input to the corresponding 'perf trace report'
step, using '-' as the filename to -o and -i:

 $ perf trace record sctop -o - | perf trace report sctop -i -

Also adds clear_term() utility functions to the Util.pm and
Util.py utility modules, for use by any script to clear the
screen.

Tom Zanussi 8dc58101f2 perf: Add pipe-specific header read/write and event processing code
This patch makes several changes to allow the perf event stream
to be sent and received over a pipe:

- adds pipe-specific versions of the header read/write code

- adds pipe-specific version of the event processing code

- adds a range of event types to be used for header or other
  pseudo events, above the range used by the kernel

- checks the return value of event handlers, which they can use
  to skip over large events during event processing rather than actually
  reading them into event objects.

- unifies the multiple do_read() functions and updates its
  users.

Note that none of these changes affect the existing perf data
file format or processing - this code only comes into play if
perf output is sent to stdout (or is read from stdin).

Ian Munsie c055564217 perf: Fix endianness argument compatibility with OPT_BOOLEAN() and introduce OPT_INCR()
Parsing an option from the command line with OPT_BOOLEAN on a
bool data type would not work on a big-endian machine due to the
manner in which the boolean was being cast into an int and
incremented. For example, running 'perf probe --list' on a
PowerPC machine would fail to properly set the list_events bool
and would therefore print out the usage information and
terminate.

This patch makes OPT_BOOLEAN work as expected with a bool
datatype. For cases where the original OPT_BOOLEAN was
intentionally being used to increment an int each time it was
passed in on the command line, this patch introduces OPT_INCR
with the old behaviour of OPT_BOOLEAN (the verbose variable is
currently the only such example of this).

I have reviewed every use of OPT_BOOLEAN to verify that a true
C99 bool was passed. Where integers were used, I verified that
they were only being used for boolean logic and changed them to
bools to ensure that they would not be mistakenly used as ints.
The major exception was the verbose variable which now uses
OPT_INCR instead of OPT_BOOLEAN.

Commit 5a0e3ad ("include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h
includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion
from percpu.h") added a '#include <linux/slab.h>' to
tools/perf/builtin-kmem.h because: that tool has lines like
this:

        if (!strcmp(event->name, "kmalloc") ||
            !strcmp(event->name, "kmem_cache_alloc")) {
                process_alloc_event(data, event, cpu, timestamp, thread, 0);
                return;
        }

So, using the script regex:

>>> import re
>>> s = re.compile(r'^(|.*[^a-zA-Z0-9_])_*(slab_is_available|kmem_cache_|k[mzc]alloc|krealloc|kz?free|ksize|__getname|putname)')
>>> l = '   !strcmp(event->name, "kmem_cache_alloc")) {'
>>> s.search(l)
<_sre.SRE_Match object at 0xb77b1ad0>
>>>

Remove that file that is not available in the tools/perf include
path and thus builtin-kmem.c couldn't be compiled.

Hitoshi Mitake 8141d0050d perf: Swap inclusion order of util.h and string.h in util/string.c
Currently util/string.c includes headers in this order: string.h, util.h
But this causes a build error because __USE_GNU definition
is needed for strndup() definition:

	% make -j
	touch .perf.dev.null
	    CC util/string.o
	cc1: warnings being treated as errors
	util/string.c: In function ‘argv_split’:
	util/string.c:171: error: implicit declaration of function ‘strndup’
	util/string.c:171: error: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function ‘strndup’

So this patch swaps the headers inclusion order.
util.h defines _GNU_SOURCE, and /usr/include/features.h defines
__USE_GNU as 1 if _GNU_SOURCE is defined.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo a5e29aca02 perf TUI: Add a "Zoom into COMM(PID) thread" and reverse operations
Now one can press the right arrow key and in addition to being able to
filter by DSO, filter out by thread too, or a combination of both
filters.

With this one can start collecting events for the whole system, then
focus on a subset of the collected data quickly.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 83753190c1 perf newt: Add a "Zoom into foo.so DSO" and reverse operations
Clicking on -> will bring as one of the popup menu options a "Zoom into
CURRENT DSO", i.e. CURRENT will be replaced by the name of the DSO in
the current line.

Choosing this option will filter out all samples that didn't took place
in a symbol in this DSO.

After that the option reverts to "Zoom out of CURRENT DSO", to allow
going back to the more compreensive view, not filtered by DSO.

Future similar operations will include zooming into a particular thread,
COMM, CPU, "last minute", "last N usecs", etc.

Tom Zanussi b1dcc03cb8 perf/scripts: Tuple was set from long in both branches in python_process_event()
This is a fix to the signed/unsigned field handling in the
Python scripting engine, based on a patch from Roel Kluin.

Basically, Python wants to use a PyInt (which is internally a
long) if it can i.e. if the value will fit into that type.  If
not, it stores it into a PyLong, which isn't actually a long,
but an arbitrary-precision integer variable.

The code below is similar to to what Python does internally, and
it seems to work as expected on the x86 and x86_64 sytems I
tested it on.

For the core kernel this poses no problems if the kernel is not

The newt TUI browser (and other GUIs that may come in the future) don't
have to worry about stdio specific stuff in the strings they get from
the se->snprintf routines and instead use whatever means to do the
equivalent.

Also the newt TUI browser don't have to use the fmemopen() hack, instead
it can use the se->snprintf routines directly. For now tho use the

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 5f4d3f8816 perf report: Add progress bars
For when we are processing the events and inserting the entries in the
browser.

Experimentation here: naming "ui_something" we may be treading into
creating a TUI/GUI set of routines that can then be implemented in terms
of multiple backends.

Also the time it takes for adding things to the "browser" takes, visually
(I guess I should do some profiling here ;-) ), more time than for
processing the events...

That means we probably need to create a custom hist_entry browser, so
that we reuse the structures we have in place instead of duplicating
them in newt.

But progress was made and at least we can see something while long files
are being loaded, that must be one of UI 101 bullet points :-)

Tejun Heo 5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

It (ab)uses the only tree widget in newt, that is actually a

is usable but we really need to create a custom widget tree so
that we can use the data structures we have (hist_entry rb_tree

footprint by not creating a mirror set of data structures in the

Frederic Weisbecker 301fde27c7 perf: Fix orphan callchain branches
Callchains have markers inside their capture to tell we
enter a context (kernel, user, ...).

Those are not displayed in the callchains but they are
incidentally an active part of the radix tree where
callchains are stored, just like any other address.

If we have the two following callchains:

addr1 -> addr2 -> user context -> addr3
addr1 -> addr2 -> user context -> addr4
addr1 -> addr2 -> addr 5

This is pretty common if addr1 and addr2 are part of an
interrupt path, addr3 and addr4 are user addresses and
addr5 is a kernel non interrupt path.

This will be stored as follows in the tree:

                   addr1
                   addr2
                   /   \
                  /     addr5
            user context
               /    \
             addr3  addr4

But we ignore the context markers in the report, hence
the addr3 and addr4 will appear as orphan branches:

    |--28.30%-- hrtimer_interrupt
    |          smp_apic_timer_interrupt
    |          apic_timer_interrupt
    |          |           <------------- here, no parent!
    |          |          |
    |          |          |--11.11%-- 0x7fae7bccb875
    |          |          |
    |          |          |--11.11%-- 0xffffffffff60013b
    |          |          |
    |          |          |--11.11%-- __pthread_mutex_lock_internal
    |          |          |
    |          |          |--11.11%-- __errno_location

Fix this by removing the context markers when we process the
callchains to the tree.

Zhang, Yanmin d6d901c23a perf events: Change perf parameter --pid to process-wide collection instead of thread-wide
Parameter --pid (or -p) of perf currently means a thread-wide
collection. For exmaple, if a process whose id is 8888 has 10
threads, 'perf top -p 8888' just collects the main thread
statistics. That's misleading. Users are used to attach a whole
process when debugging a process by gdb. To follow normal usage
style, the patch change --pid to process-wide collection and add
--tid (-t) to mean a thread-wide collection.

Usage example is:

 # perf top -p 8888
 # perf record -p 8888 -f sleep 10
 # perf stat -p 8888 -f sleep 10

Above commands collect the statistics of all threads of process
8888.

Zhang, Yanmin 46be604b5b perf record: Enable counters only when kernel is execing subcommand
'perf record' starts counters before subcommand is execed, so
the statistics is not precise because it includes data of some
preparation steps. I fix it with the patch.

In addition, change the condition to fork/exec subcommand. If
there is a subcommand parameter, perf always fork/exec it. The
usage example is:

 # perf record -f -a sleep 10

So this command could collect statistics for 10 seconds
precisely. User still could stop it by CTRL+C. Without the new
capability, user could only input CTRL+C to stop it without
precise time clock.

Zhang, Yanmin 6be2850eff perf stat: Enable counters when collecting process-wide or system-wide data
Command 'perf stat' doesn't enable counters when collecting an
existing (by -p) process or system-wide statistics. Fix the
issue.

Change the condition of fork/exec subcommand. If there is a
subcommand parameter, perf always forks/execs it. The usage
example is:

 # perf stat -a sleep 10

So this command could collect statistics for 10 seconds
precisely. User still could stop it by CTRL+C. Without the new
capability, user could only use CTRL+C to stop it without
precise time clock.

Another issue is 'perf stat -a' consumes 100% time of a full
single logical cpu. It has a bad impact on running workload.

Fix it by adding a sleep(1) in the while(!done) loop in function
run_perf_stat.

1) Such uses:

 #ifndef NO_DWARF_SUPPORT

are double inverted logic a'la 'not not'. Instead the flag should
be called DWARF_SUPPORT.

2) Furthermore, assymetric #ifdef polluted code flow like:

        if (need_dwarf)
 #ifdef NO_DWARF_SUPPORT
                die("Debuginfo-analysis is not supported");
 #else   /* !NO_DWARF_SUPPORT */
                pr_debug("Some probes require debuginfo.\n");

        fd = open_vmlinux();

is very fragile and not acceptable. Instead of that helper functions
should be created and the dwarf/no-dwarf logic should be separated more
cleanly.

3) Local variable #ifdefs like this:

 #ifndef NO_DWARF_SUPPORT
        int fd;
 #endif

Are fragile as well and should be eliminated. Helper functions achieve
that too.

Masami Hiramatsu 7df2f32956 perf probe: Add data structure member access support
Support accessing members in the data structures. With this,
perf-probe accepts data-structure members(IOW, it now accepts
dot '.' and arrow '->' operators) as probe arguemnts.

e.g.

 ./perf probe --add 'schedule:44 rq->curr'

 ./perf probe --add 'vfs_read file->f_op->read file->f_path.dentry'

Note that '>' can be interpreted as redirection in command-line.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo d06d92b7c9 perf annotate: Properly notify the user that vmlinux is missing
Before this patch we would not find a vmlinux, then try to pass
objdump "[kernel.kallsyms]" as the filename, it would get
confused and produce no output:

 [root@doppio ~]# perf annotate n_tty_write

 ------------------------------------------------
  Percent |      Source code & Disassembly of [kernel.kallsyms]
 ------------------------------------------------

Now we check that and emit meaningful warning:

 [root@doppio ~]# perf annotate n_tty_write
 Can't annotate n_tty_write: No vmlinux file was found in the
 path: [0] vmlinux
 [1] /boot/vmlinux
 [2] /boot/vmlinux-2.6.34-rc1-tip+

 [4] /usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/2.6.34-rc1-tip+/vmlinux
 [root@doppio ~]#

This bug was introduced when we added automatic search for
vmlinux, before that time the user had to specify a vmlinux
file.

v2: Print the warning just for the first symbol found when no
    symbol name is specified, otherwise it will spam the screen
    repeating the warning for each symbol.

Before this patch this message would very briefly appear on the

for number of interrupts received, etc, but no annotation would
be performed:

Now this is what the user gets:

 [root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]# perf top -s n_tty_write
 Can't annotate n_tty_write: No vmlinux file was found in the

Not good, the newt form for report works, but slang has to eat
the cost of the additional callgraph lines everytime it prints a
line, and the callgraph doesn't appear on the screen, so move
the callgraph printing to a separate function and don't use it
in newt.c.

Newt tree widgets are being investigated to properly support
callgraphs, but till that gets merged, lets remove this huge
overhead and show at least the symbol overheads for a callgraph
rich perf.data with good performance.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo f9224c5c94 perf report: Implement initial UI using newt
Newt has widespread availability and provides a rather simple
API as can be seen by the size of this patch.

The work needed to support it will benefit other frontends too.

In this initial patch it just checks if the output is a tty, if
not it falls back to the previous behaviour, also if
newt-devel/libnewt-dev is not installed the previous behaviour
is maintaned.

Pressing enter on a symbol will annotate it, ESC in the
annotation window will return to the report symbol list.

More work will be done to remove the special casing in
color_fprintf, stop using fmemopen/FILE in the printing of
hist_entries, etc.

Also the annotation doesn't need to be done via spawning "perf
annotate" and then browsing its output, we can do better by
calling directly the builtin-annotate.c functions, that would
then be moved to tools/perf/util/annotate.c and shared with perf
top, etc

But lets go by baby steps, this patch already improves perf
usability by allowing to quickly do annotations on symbols from
the report screen and provides a first experimentation with
libnewt/TUI integration of tools.

Tested on RHEL5 and Fedora12 X86_64 and on Debian PARISC64 to
browse a perf.data file collected on a Fedora12 x86_64 box.

Paul Mackerras a12b51c478 perf tools: Fix sparse CPU numbering related bugs
At present, the perf subcommands that do system-wide monitoring
(perf stat, perf record and perf top) don't work properly unless
the online cpus are numbered 0, 1, ..., N-1.  These tools ask
for the number of online cpus with sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN)
and then try to create events for cpus 0, 1, ..., N-1.

This creates problems for systems where the online cpus are
numbered sparsely.  For example, a POWER6 system in
single-threaded mode (i.e. only running 1 hardware thread per
core) will have only even-numbered cpus online.

This fixes the problem by reading the /sys/devices/system/cpu/online
file to find out which cpus are online.  The code that does that is in
tools/perf/util/cpumap.[ch], and consists of a read_cpu_map()
function that sets up a cpumap[] array and returns the number of
online cpus.  If /sys/devices/system/cpu/online can't be read or
can't be parsed successfully, it falls back to using sysconf to
ask how many cpus are online and sets up an identity map in cpumap[].

The perf record, perf stat and perf top code then calls
read_cpu_map() in the system-wide monitoring case (instead of
sysconf) and uses cpumap[] to get the cpu numbers to pass to
perf_event_open.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 65f2ed2b2f perf report: Print the map table just after samples for which no map was found
If -vv is used just the map table will be printed, -vvv will
print the symbol table too, with it we can see that we have a
bug where some samples are not being resolved to a map when we
get them in the perf.data stream, but after we have it all
processed, we can find the right map, some reordering probably
is happening.

Upcoming patches will provide ways to ask for most PERF_SAMPLE_
conditional samples to be taken for !PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE events
too, then we'll be able to ask for PERF_SAMPLE_TIME and
PERF_SAMPLE_CPU to help diagnose this.

build-ids for the binaries copied into the cache and then have
this perf.data session UUID be a directory with symlinks to the
by now calculated build-id of the files inside it.

Or just do an extra pass and insert the calculated build-ids in
the perf.data header.

Frederic Weisbecker b67577dfb4 perf lock: Drop the buffers multiplexing dependency
We need to deal with time ordered events to build a correct
state machine of lock events. This is why we multiplex the lock
events buffers. But the ordering is done from the kernel, on
the tracing fast path, leading to high contention between cpus.

Without multiplexing, the events appears in a weak order.
If we have four events, each split per cpu, perf record will
read the events buffers in the following order:

[ CPU0 ev0, CPU0 ev1, CPU0 ev3, CPU0 ev4, CPU1 ev0, CPU1 ev0....]

To handle a post processing reordering, we could just read and sort
the whole in memory, but it just doesn't scale with high amounts
of events: lock events can fill huge amounts in few times.

Basically we need to sort in memory and find a "grace period"
point when we know that a given slice of previously sorted events
can be committed for post-processing, so that we can unload the
memory usage step by step and keep a scalable sorting list.

There is no strong rules about how to define such "grace period".
What does this patch is:

We define a FLUSH_PERIOD value that defines a grace period in
seconds.
We want to have a slice of events covering 2 * FLUSH_PERIOD in our
sorted list.
If FLUSH_PERIOD is big enough, it ensures every events that occured
in the first half of the timeslice have all been buffered and there
are none remaining and there won't be further to put inside this
first timeslice. Then once we reach the 2 * FLUSH_PERIOD
timeslice, we flush the first half to be gentle with the memory
(the second half can still get new events in the middle, so wait
another period to flush it)

FLUSH_PERIOD is defined to 5 seconds. Say the first event started on
time t0. We can safely assume that at the time we are processing
events of t0 + 10 seconds, ther won't be anymore events to read
from perf.data that occured between t0 and t0 + 5 seconds. Hence
we can safely flush the first half.

To point out funky bugs, we have a guardian that checks a new event
timestamp is not below the last event's timestamp flushed and that
displays a warning in this case.

Hitoshi Mitake 84c6f88fc8 perf lock: Fix and add misc documentally things
I've forgot to add 'perf lock' line to command-list.txt,
so users of perf could not find perf lock when they type 'perf'.

Fixing command-list.txt requires document
(tools/perf/Documentation/perf-lock.txt).
But perf lock is too much "under construction" to write a
stable document, so this is something like pseudo document for now.

And I wrote description of perf lock at help section of
CONFIG_LOCK_STAT, this will navigate users of lock trace events.

David S. Miller 4385d580f2 perf tools: Flush maps on COMM events
Even though we don't register the counters until the child is right about
to exec(), we're still going to get at least a few events while the
fork()'d child is still executing 'perf' and in particular we're going to
get the MMAP events.

We can't distinguish the ones in the newly executed process because the
PID will be the same.

One way to solve this would be to have a PERF_RECORD_EXEC event, and when
this is seen 'perf' can flush it's map cache.  We can't use
PERF_RECORD_COMM since that's generated by other things, not just exec().

Actually, thinking about it some more, using PERF_RECORD_COMM might be a
good enough approximation.

Masami Hiramatsu 2a9c8c3609 perf probe: Add lazy line matching support
Add lazy line matching support for specifying new probes.
This also changes the syntax of perf probe a bit. Now
perf probe accepts one of below probe event definitions.

1) Define event based on function name
 [EVENT=]FUNC[@SRC][:RLN|+OFF|%return|;PTN] [ARG ...]

2) Define event based on source file with line number
 [EVENT=]SRC:ALN [ARG ...]

3) Define event based on source file with lazy pattern
 [EVENT=]SRC;PTN [ARG ...]

- New lazy matching pattern(PTN) follows ';' (semicolon). And it
  must be put the end of the definition.
- So, @SRC is no longer the part which must be put at the end
  of the definition.

Note that ';' (semicolon) can be interpreted as the end of
a command by the shell. This means that you need to quote it.
(anyway you will need to quote the lazy pattern itself too,
because it may contains other sensitive characters, like
'[',']' etc.).

Lazy matching
-------------
The lazy line matching is similar to glob matching except
ignoring spaces in both of pattern and target.

e.g.
'a=*' can matches 'a=b', 'a = b', 'a == b' and so on.

This provides some sort of flexibility and robustness to
probe point definitions against minor code changes.
(for example, actual 10th line of schedule() can be changed
 easily by modifying schedule(), but the same line matching
 'rq=cpu_rq*' may still exist.)

Changes in v3:
 - Cast Dwarf_Addr to uintmax_t for printf-formats.

Changes in v2:
 - Cast Dwarf_Addr to unsigned long long for printf-formats.

Fix find_line_range_by_line() to init line_list and remove
misconseptional found marking which should be done when
real lines are found (if there is no lines probe-able,
find_line_range() should return 0).

Because symbol->end is not fixed up at symbol_filter time, only
after all symbols for a DSO are loaded, and that, for asm
symbols, may be bogus, causing segfaults when hits happen in

doesn't really need to be listed as as user script anyway.

This only removes the '-report' shell script, so although it doesn't
appear in the listing, the '-record' shell script and the check perf
trace perl script itself is still available and can still be run
manually as such:

$ libexec/perf-core/scripts/perl/bin/check-perf-trace-record

Tom Zanussi f526d68b6c perf/scripts: Fix supported language listing option
'perf trace -s list' prints a list of the supported scripting
languages.  One problem with it is that it falls through and prints
the trace as well.  The use of 'list' for this also makes it easy to
confuse with 'perf trace -l', used for listing available scripts.  So
change 'perf trace -s list' to 'perf trace -s lang' and fixes the
fall-through problem.
