2010-04-14perf probe: Support DW_OP_call_frame_cfa in debuginfoMasami Hiramatsu
When building kernel without CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER, gcc uses CFA (canonical frame address) for frame base. With this patch, perf probe just gets CFI (call frame information) from debuginfo and search corresponding CFA from the CFI. IOW, this allows perf probe works correctly on the kernel without CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER. <Before> ./perf probe -fn sched_slice:12 lw.weight Fatal: DW_OP 156 is not supported. (^^^ DW_OP_call_frame_cfa) <After> ./perf probe -fn sched_slice:12 lw.weight Add new event: probe:sched_slice (on sched_slice:12 with weight=lw.weight) Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> LKML-Reference: <20100412171728.3790.98217.stgit@localhost6.localdomain6> Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
2010-04-14perf probe: Support basic type castingMasami Hiramatsu
Add basic type casting for arguments to perf probe. This allows users to specify the actual type of arguments. Of course, if user sets invalid types, kprobe-tracer rejects that.

2010-04-14perf probe: Query basic types from debuginfoMasami Hiramatsu
Query the basic type information (byte-size and signed-flag) from debuginfo and pass that to kprobe-tracer. This is especially useful for tracing the members of data structure, because each member has different byte-size on the memory.

2010-04-14perf probe: Use the last field name as the argument nameMasami Hiramatsu
Set the last field name to the argument name when the argument 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.

2010-04-14perf probe: Support argument nameMasami Hiramatsu
Set given names to event arguments. The syntax is same as kprobe-tracer, you can add 'NAME=' right before each argument. e.g. ./perf probe vfs_read foo=file 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) Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> LKML-Reference: <20100412171653.3790.74624.stgit@localhost6.localdomain6> Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
2010-04-14perf tools: Fix accidentally preprocessed snprintf callbackFrederic Weisbecker
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.

2010-04-14perf trace: Invoke live mode automatically if record/report not specifiedTom Zanussi
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'.

2010-04-14perf trace/scripting: Enable scripting shell scripts for live modeTom Zanussi
It should be possible to run any perf trace script in 'live mode'. This requires being able to pass in e.g. '-i -' or other args, which the current shell scripts aren't equipped to handle. In a few cases, there are required or optional args that also need special handling. This patch makes changes the current set of shell scripts as necessary.

2010-04-14perf trace/scripting: Add rwtop and sctop scriptsTom Zanussi
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.

Bypasses the tracing_data perf header code and replaces it with a synthesized event and processing function that accomplishes the same thing, used when reading/writing perf data to/from a pipe. The tracing data is pretty large, and this patch doesn't attempt to break it down into component events. The tracing_data event itself doesn't actually contain the tracing data, rather it arranges for the event processing code to skip over it after it's read, using the skip return value added to the event processing loop in a previous patch.

2010-04-14perf: Add pipe-specific header read/write and event processing codeTom Zanussi
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).

2010-04-14perf: Fix endianness argument compatibility with OPT_BOOLEAN() and introduce ↵Ian Munsie
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. Signed-off-by: Ian Munsie <imunsie@au.ibm.com> Acked-by: David S.

2010-04-02perf/scripts: Tuple was set from long in both branches in python_process_event()Tom Zanussi
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.

The struct callchain_node size is 120 bytes, that are never used when there are no callchains or '-g none' is specified, so conditionally allocate it, reducing sizeof(struct hist_entry) from 210 bytes to only 96, greatly speeding the non-callchain processing.

2010-04-02perf kmem: Fixup the symbol address before using itArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
We get absolute addresses in the events, but relative ones from the symbol subsystem, so calculate the absolute address by asking for the map where the symbol was found, that has the place where the DSO was actually loaded. For the core kernel this poses no problems if the kernel is not relocated by things like kexec, or if we use /proc/kallsyms, but for modules we were getting really large, negative offsets.

2010-04-02perf kmem: Resolve kernel symbols againArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Due to the assumption in perf_session__new that the kernel maps would be created using the fake PERF_RECORD_MMAP event in a perf.data file 'perf kmem --stat caller', that doesn't have such event, ends up not being able to resolve the kernel addresses. Fix it by calling perf_session__create_kernel_maps() in __cmd_kmem().

2010-04-02perf hist: Replace ->print() routines by ->snprintf() equivalentsArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Then hist_entry__fprintf will just us the newly introduced hist_entry__snprintf, add the newline and fprintf it to the supplied FILE descriptor. This allows us to remove the use_browser checking in the color_printf routines, that now got color_snprintf variants too. 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 hist_entry__snprintf routine to reduce the patch size.

2010-04-02perf report: Add progress barsArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
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 :-) Cc: Frédéric Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
