Namhyung Kim 68f6d0224b perf sort: Do not compare dso again
The commit 09600e0f9e ("perf tools: Compare dso's also when comparing
symbols") added a comparison of dso when comparing symbol.

But if the sort key already has dso, it doesn't need to do it again
since entries have a different dso already filtered out.

Namhyung Kim 2037be53b2 perf sort: Compare addresses if no symbol info
If a hist entry doesn't have symbol information, compare it with its
address.  Currently it only compares its level or whether it's NULL.

This can lead to an undesired result like an overhead exceeds 100%
especially when callchain accumulation is enabled by later patch.

Namhyung Kim 7524f63b99 perf tools: Prevent condition that all sort keys are elided
If given sort keys are all elided there'll be no output except for the
overhead column - actually the TUI shows a noisy output.  In this case
it'd be better to show up the sort keys rather than elide.

Before:

  $ perf report -s comm -c perf
  (...)
  # Overhead
  # ........
  #
     100.00%

After:

  $ perf report -s comm -c perf
  (...)
  # Overhead  Command
  # ........  .......
  #
     100.00%     perf

Frederic Weisbecker b9c5143a01 perf tools: Use an accessor to read thread comm
As the thread comm is going to be implemented by way of a more
complicated data structure than just a pointer to a string from the
thread struct, convert the readers of comm to use an accessor instead of
accessing it directly.

The accessor will be later overriden to support an enhanced comm
implementation.

Namhyung Kim 09600e0f9e perf tools: Compare dso's also when comparing symbols
Linus reported that sometimes 'perf report -s symbol' exits without any
message on TUI.  David and Jiri found that it's because it failed to add
a hist entry due to an invalid symbol length.

It turns out that sorting by symbol (address) was broken since it only
compares symbol addresses.  The symbol address is a relative address
within a dso thus just checking its address can result in merging
unrelated symbols together.  Fix it by checking dso before comparing
symbol address.

Namhyung Kim 4adcc43003 perf tools: Fix srcline sort key behavior
Currently the srcline sort key compares ip rather than srcline info.  I
guess this was due to a performance reason to run external addr2line
utility.  Now we have implemented the functionality inside, use the
srcline info when comparing hist entries.

Also constantly print "??:0" string for unknown srcline rather than
printing ip.

Greg Price b21484f1a1 perf report/top: Add option to collapse undesired parts of call graph
For example, in an application with an expensive function implemented
with deeply nested recursive calls, the default call-graph presentation
is dominated by the different callchains within that function.  By
ignoring these callees, we can collect the callchains leading into the
function and compactly identify what to blame for expensive calls.

For example, in this report the callers of garbage_collect() are
scattered across the tree:

  $ perf report -d ruby 2>- | grep -m10 ^[^#]*[a-z]
      22.03%     ruby  [.] gc_mark
                 --- gc_mark
                    |--59.40%-- mark_keyvalue
                    |          st_foreach
                    |          gc_mark_children
                    |          |--99.75%-- rb_gc_mark
                    |          |          rb_vm_mark
                    |          |          gc_mark_children
                    |          |          gc_marks
                    |          |          |--99.00%-- garbage_collect

If we ignore the callees of garbage_collect(), its callers are coalesced:

  $ perf report --ignore-callees garbage_collect -d ruby 2>- | grep -m10 ^[^#]*[a-z]
      72.92%     ruby  [.] garbage_collect
                 --- garbage_collect
                     vm_xmalloc
                    |--47.08%-- ruby_xmalloc
                    |          st_insert2
                    |          rb_hash_aset
                    |          |--98.45%-- features_index_add

Namhyung Kim 62667746a6 perf tools: Fix output of symbol_daddr offset
The symbol addresses in a dso have relative offsets from the start of a
mapping.  So in order to ouput correct offset value from @ip, one of
them should be converted.

Stephane Eranian 98a3b32c99 perf tools: Add mem access sampling core support
This patch adds the sorting and histogram support
functions to enable profiling of memory accesses.

The following sorting orders are added:
 - symbol_daddr: data address symbol (or raw address)
 - dso_daddr: data address shared object
 - locked: access uses locked transaction
 - tlb : TLB access
 - mem : memory level of the access (L1, L2, L3, RAM, ...)
 - snoop: access snoop mode

Andi Kleen 05484298cb perf tools: Add support for weight v7 (modified)
perf record has a new option -W that enables weightened sampling.

Add sorting support in top/report for the average weight per sample and the
total weight sum. This allows to both compare relative cost per event
and the total cost over the measurement period.

Add the necessary glue to perf report, record and the library.

v2: Merge with new hist refactoring.
v3: Fix manpage. Remove value check.
Rename global_weight to weight and weight to local_weight.
v4: Readd sort keys to manpage
v5: Move weight to end
v6: Move weight to template
v7: Rename weight key.

Original patch from Andi modified by Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com>
to include ONLY the weight supporting code and apply to pristine 3.8.0-rc4.

on a first argument and use the third argument in that case, it can

Namhyung Kim 51f27d1440 perf sort: Drop ip_[lr] arguments from _sort__sym_cmp()
Current _sort__sym_cmp() function is used for comparing symbols between
two hist entries on symbol, symbol_from and symbol_to sort keys.  Those
functions pass addresses of symbols but it's meaningless since it gets
over-written inside of the _sort__sym_cmp function to a start address of
the symbol.  So just get rid of them.

This might cause a difference than prior output for branch stacks since
it seems not using start address of the symbol but branch address.
However AFAICS it'd be same as it gets overwritten anyway.

Also remove redundant part of code in sort__sym_cmp().

Namhyung Kim fc5871ed0d perf sort: Separate out branch stack specific sort keys
Current perf report gets segmentation fault when a branch stack specific
sort key is provided by --sort option to a perf.data file which contains
no branch infomation.  It's because those sort keys reference branch
info of a hist entry unconditionally.  Maybe we can change it checks
whether such branch info is valid or not.  But if the branch stacks are
not recorded, it'd be nop.  Thus it'd be better to make those keys are
unselectable.

This patch separates those keys to a different dimension array, so that
if user passes such a key to a file which has no branch stack will get
following message rather than a segfault.

  Error: Invalid --sort key: `symbol_from'

Irina Tirdea 1d037ca164 perf tools: Use __maybe_used for unused variables
perf defines both __used and __unused variables to use for marking
unused variables. The variable __used is defined to
__attribute__((__unused__)), which contradicts the kernel definition to
__attribute__((__used__)) for new gcc versions. On Android, __used is
also defined in system headers and this leads to warnings like: warning:
'__used__' attribute ignored

__unused is not defined in the kernel and is not a standard definition.
If __unused is included everywhere instead of __used, this leads to
conflicts with glibc headers, since glibc has a variables with this name
in its headers.

The best approach is to use __maybe_unused, the definition used in the
kernel for __attribute__((unused)). In this way there is only one
definition in perf sources (instead of 2 definitions that point to the
same thing: __used and __unused) and it works on both Linux and Android.
This patch simply replaces all instances of __used and __unused with
__maybe_unused.

Linus Torvalds 9c2b957db1 Merge branch 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull perf events changes for v3.4 from Ingo Molnar:

 - New "hardware based branch profiling" feature both on the kernel and
   the tooling side, on CPUs that support it.  (modern x86 Intel CPUs
   with the 'LBR' hardware feature currently.)

   This new feature is basically a sophisticated 'magnifying glass' for
   branch execution - something that is pretty difficult to extract from
   regular, function histogram centric profiles.

   The simplest mode is activated via 'perf record -b', and the result
   looks like this in perf report:

	$ perf record -b any_call,u -e cycles:u branchy

	$ perf report -b --sort=symbol
	    52.34%  [.] main                   [.] f1
	    24.04%  [.] f1                     [.] f3
	    23.60%  [.] f1                     [.] f2
	     0.01%  [k] _IO_new_file_xsputn    [k] _IO_file_overflow
	     0.01%  [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal  [k] _IO_new_file_xsputn
	     0.01%  [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal  [k] strchrnul
	     0.01%  [k] __printf               [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal
	     0.01%  [k] main                   [k] __printf

   This output shows from/to branch columns and shows the highest
   percentage (from,to) jump combinations - i.e.  the most likely taken
   branches in the system.  "branches" can also include function calls
   and any other synchronous and asynchronous transitions of the
   instruction pointer that are not 'next instruction' - such as system
   calls, traps, interrupts, etc.

   This feature comes with (hopefully intuitive) flat ascii and TUI
   support in perf report.

 - Various 'perf annotate' visual improvements for us assembly junkies.
   It will now recognize function calls in the TUI and by hitting enter
   you can follow the call (recursively) and back, amongst other
   improvements.

 - Multiple threads/processes recording support in perf record, perf
   stat, perf top - which is activated via a comma-list of PIDs:

	perf top -p 21483,21485
	perf stat -p 21483,21485 -ddd
	perf record -p 21483,21485

 - Support for per UID views, via the --uid paramter to perf top, perf
   report, etc.  For example 'perf top --uid mingo' will only show the
   tasks that I am running, excluding other users, root, etc.

 - Jump label restructurings and improvements - this includes the
   factoring out of the (hopefully much clearer) include/linux/static_key.h
   generic facility:

	struct static_key key = STATIC_KEY_INIT_FALSE;

	...

	if (static_key_false(&key))
	        do unlikely code
	else
	        do likely code

	...
	static_key_slow_inc();
	...
	static_key_slow_inc();
	...

   The static_key_false() branch will be generated into the code with as
   little impact to the likely code path as possible.  the
   static_key_slow_*() APIs flip the branch via live kernel code patching.

   This facility can now be used more widely within the kernel to
   micro-optimize hot branches whose likelihood matches the static-key
   usage and fast/slow cost patterns.

 - SW function tracer improvements: perf support and filtering support.

 - Various hardenings of the perf.data ABI, to make older perf.data's
   smoother on newer tool versions, to make new features integrate more
   smoothly, to support cross-endian recording/analyzing workflows
   better, etc.

 - Restructuring of the kprobes code, the splitting out of 'optprobes',
   and a corner case bugfix.

 - Allow the tracing of kernel console output (printk).

 - Improvements/fixes to user-space RDPMC support, allowing user-space
   self-profiling code to extract PMU counts without performing any
   system calls, while playing nice with the kernel side.

 - 'perf bench' improvements

 - ... and lots of internal restructurings, cleanups and fixes that made
   these features possible.  And, as usual this list is incomplete as
   there were also lots of other improvements

Anton Blanchard b832796caa perf tools: Incorrect use of snprintf results in SEGV
I have a workload where perf top scribbles over the stack and we SEGV.
What makes it interesting is that an snprintf is causing this.

The workload is a c++ gem that has method names over 3000 characters
long, but snprintf is designed to avoid overrunning buffers. So what
went wrong?

The problem is we assume snprintf returns the number of characters
written:

    ret += repsep_snprintf(bf + ret, size - ret, "[%c] ", self->level);
...
    ret += repsep_snprintf(bf + ret, size - ret, "%s", self->ms.sym->name);

Unfortunately this is not how snprintf works. snprintf returns the
number of characters that would have been written if there was enough
space. In the above case, if the first snprintf returns a value larger
than size, we pass a negative size into the second snprintf and happily
scribble over the stack. If you have 3000 character c++ methods thats a
lot of stack to trample.

This patch fixes repsep_snprintf by clamping the value at size - 1 which
is the maximum snprintf can write before adding the NULL terminator.

I get the sinking feeling that there are a lot of other uses of snprintf
that have this same bug, we should audit them all.

Stephane Eranian 993ac88d58 perf report: Auto-detect branch stack sampling mode
This patch enhances perf report to auto-detect when the
perf.data file contains samples with branch stacks. That way it
is not necessary to use the -b option.

To force branch view mode to off, simply use --no-branch-stack.

Anton Blanchard 6bb8f311a8 perf sort: Fix symbol sort output by separating unresolved samples by type
I took a profile that suggested 60% of total CPU time was in the
hypervisor:

...
    60.20%  [H] 0x33d43c
     4.43%  [k] ._spin_lock_irqsave
     1.07%  [k] ._spin_lock

Using perf stat to get the user/kernel/hypervisor breakdown contradicted
this.

The problem is we merge all unresolved samples into the one unknown
bucket. If add a comparison by sample type to sort__sym_cmp we get the
real picture:

...
    57.11%  [.] 0x80fbf63c
     4.43%  [k] ._spin_lock_irqsave
     1.07%  [k] ._spin_lock
     0.65%  [H] 0x33d43c

So it was almost all userspace, not hypervisor as the initial profile
suggested.

I found another issue while adding this. Symbol sorting sometimes shows
multiple entries for the unknown bucket:

...
    16.65%  [.] 0x6cd3a8
     7.25%  [.] 0x422460
     5.37%  [.] yylex
     4.79%  [.] malloc
     4.78%  [.] _int_malloc
     4.03%  [.] _int_free
     3.95%  [.] hash_source_code_string
     2.82%  [.] 0x532908
     2.64%  [.] 0x36b538
     0.94%  [H] 0x8000000000e132a4
     0.82%  [H] 0x800000000000e8b0

This happens because we aren't consistent with our sorting. On
one hand we check to see if both symbols match and for two unresolved
samples sym is NULL so we match:

        if (left->ms.sym == right->ms.sym)
                return 0;

On the other hand we use sample IP for unresolved samples when
comparing against a symbol:

       ip_l = left->ms.sym ? left->ms.sym->start : left->ip;
       ip_r = right->ms.sym ? right->ms.sym->start : right->ip;

This means unresolved samples end up spread across the rbtree and we
can't merge them all.

If we use cmp_null all unresolved samples will end up in the one bucket
and the output makes more sense:

...
    39.12%  [.] 0x36b538
     5.37%  [.] yylex
     4.79%  [.] malloc
     4.78%  [.] _int_malloc
     4.03%  [.] _int_free
     3.95%  [.] hash_source_code_string
     2.26%  [H] 0x800000000000e8b0
