2010-05-02perf inject: Refactor read_buildid functionArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Into two functions, one that actually reads the build_id for the dso if it wasn't already read, and another taht will inject the event if the build_id is available.

2010-05-02perf: add perf-inject builtinTom Zanussi
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.

2010-05-02perf/live: don't synthesize build ids at the end of a live mode traceTom Zanussi
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.

2010-05-01perf: Fix warning while reading ring buffer headersFrederic Weisbecker
commit e9e94e3bd862d31777335722e747e97d9821bc1d "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 Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

2010-04-29perf test: Initial regression testing commandArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
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.

2010-04-24perf: Generalize perf lock's sample event reordering to the session layerFrederic Weisbecker
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.

2010-04-24perf lock: Fix state machine to recognize lock sequenceHitoshi Mitake
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 Signed-off-by: Hitoshi Mitake <mitake@dcl.info.waseda.ac.jp> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com> Cc: Jason Baron <jbaron@redhat.com> Cc: Xiao Guangrong <xiaoguangrong@cn.fujitsu.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> LKML-Reference: <1271852634-9351-1-git-send-email-mitake@dcl.info.waseda.ac.jp> [rename SEQ_STATE_UNINITED to SEQ_STATE_UNINITIALIZED] Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com>

2010-04-15perf: Make the trace events sample period default to 1Frederic Weisbecker
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.

2010-04-15perf: Always record tracepoints raw samples from perf recordFrederic Weisbecker
Trace events are mostly used for tracing rather than simple counting. Don't bother anymore with adding -R when using them, just record raw samples of trace events every time.

2010-04-15perf: Make -f the default for perf recordFrederic Weisbecker
Force the overwriting mode by default if append mode is not explicit. Adding -f every time one uses perf on a daily basis quickly becomes a burden. Keep the -f among the options though to avoid breaking some random users scripts.

2010-04-15perf: Fix dynamic field detectionThomas Gleixner
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".

2010-04-14perf probe: Fix a bug that --line range can be overflowMasami Hiramatsu
Since line_finder.lno_s/e are signed int but line_range.start/end are unsigned int, it is possible to be overflow when converting line_range->start/end to line_finder->lno_s/e. This changes line_range.start/end and line_list.line to signed int and adds overflow checks when setting line_finder.lno_s/e.

Fix mis-estimation size for making a short filename. Since the buffer size is 32 bytes and there are '@' prefix and '\0' termination, maximum shorten filename length should be 30. This means, before searching '/', it should be 31 bytes.
