* perf tools: Fix endian conversion reading event attr from file headerDavid Ahern2011-08-041-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit eda3913bb70ecebac13adccffe1e7f96e93cee02 upstream. The perf_event_attr struct has two __u32's at the top and they need to be swapped individually. With this change I was able to analyze a perf.data collected in a 32-bit PPC VM on an x86 system. I tested both 32-bit and 64-bit binaries for the Intel analysis side; both read the PPC perf.data file correctly. -v2: - changed the existing perf_event__attr_swap() to swap only elements of perf_event_attr and exported it for use in swapping the attributes in the file header - updated swap_ops used for processing events Signed-off-by: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Acked-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: acme@ghostprotocols.net Cc: peterz@infradead.org Cc: paulus@samba.org Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1310754849-12474-1-git-send-email-dsahern@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
* perf symbols: Handle /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrictArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2011-05-261-2/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Perf uses /proc/modules to figure out where kernel modules are loaded. With the advent of kptr_restrict, non root users get zeroes for all module start addresses. So check if kptr_restrict is non zero and don't generate the syntethic PERF_RECORD_MMAP events for them. Warn the user about it in perf record and in perf report. In perf report the reference relocation symbol being zero means that kptr_restrict was set, thus /proc/kallsyms has only zeroed addresses, so don't use it to fixup symbol addresses when using a valid kallsyms (in the buildid cache) or vmlinux (in the vmlinux path) build-id located automatically or specified by the user. Provide an explanation about it in 'perf report' if kernel samples were taken, checking if a suitable vmlinux or kallsyms was found/specified. Restricted /proc/kallsyms don't go to the buildid cache anymore. Example: [acme@emilia ~]$ perf record -F 100000 sleep 1 WARNING: Kernel address maps (/proc/{kallsyms,modules}) are restricted, check /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict. Samples in kernel functions may not be resolved if a suitable vmlinux file is not found in the buildid cache or in the vmlinux path. Samples in kernel modules won't be resolved at all. If some relocation was applied (e.g. kexec) symbols may be misresolved even with a suitable vmlinux or kallsyms file.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | By creating an perf_evlist out of the attributes in the perf.data file header, so that we can use evlists and evsels when reading recorded sessions in addition to when we record sessions. More work is needed to allow tools to allow the user to select which events are wanted when browsing sessions, be it just one or a subset of them, aggregated or showed at the same time but with different indications on the UI to allow seeing workloads thru different views at the same time. But the overall goal/trend is to more uniformly use evsels and evlists.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | GCC 4.6.0 in Fedora rawhide turned up some compile errors in tools/perf due to the -Werror=unused-but-set-variable flag. I've gone through and annotated some of the assignments that had side effects (ie: return value from a function) with the __used annotation, and in some cases, just removed unused code. In a few cases, we were assigning something useful, but not using it in later parts of the function. kyle@dreadnought:~/src% gcc --version gcc (GCC) 4.6.0 20110122 (Red Hat 4.6.0-0.3) Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> LKML-Reference: <20110124161304.GK27353@bombadil.infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Kyle McMartin <kyle@redhat.com> [ committer note: Fixed up the annotation fixes, as that code moved recently ] Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

* | perf symbols: Avoid resolving [kernel.kallsyms] to real path for buildid cacheLin Ming2011-03-091-3/+8
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | kallsyms has a virtual file name [kernel.kallsyms]. Currently, it can't be added to buildid cache successfully because the code (build_id_cache__add_s) tries to resolve [kernel.kallsyms] to a real absolute pathname and that fails. Fixes it by not resolving it and just use the name [kernel.kallsyms]. So dir ~/.debug/[kernel.kallsyms] is created.

This will also be useful in the next patch, where we'll allow sample the identity fields in MMAP, FORK, EXIT, etc, when it will be possible to see (cpu, timestamp) just after before every event. Also validate callchains in perf_session__process_event, i.e. as early as possible, and keep a counter of the number of events discarded due to invalid callchains, warning the user about it if it happens. There is an assumption that was kept that all events have the same sample_type, that will be dealt with in the future, when this preexisting limitation will be removed.

* | perf record: Add option to disable collecting build-idsArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2010-11-261-2/+9
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Collecting build-ids for long running sessions may take a long time because it needs to traverse the whole just collected perf.data stream of events, marking the DSOs that had hits and then looking for the .note.gnu.build-id ELF section. For things like the 'trace' tool that records and right away consumes the data on systems where its unlikely that the DSOs being monitored will change while 'trace' runs, it is desirable to remove build id collection, so add a -B/--no-buildid option to perf record to allow such use case. Longer term we'll avoid all this if we, at DSO load time, in the kernel, take advantage of this slow code path to collect the build-id and stash it somewhere, so that we can insert it in the PERF_RECORD_MMAP event.

* perf record: Add option to avoid updating buildid cacheStephane Eranian2010-06-171-1/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are situations where there is enough information in the perf.data to process the samples. Updating the buildid cache may add unecessary overhead in terms of disk space and time (copying large elf images). A persistent option to do this already exists via the perfconfig file, simply do: [buildid] dir = /dev/null This patch provides a way to suppress builid cache updates on a per-run basis. It addds a new option, -N, to perf record. Buildids are still generated in the perf.data file. Cc: David S.

* perf buildid: add perfconfig option to specify buildid cache dirStephane Eranian2010-06-051-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds the ability to specify an alternate directory to store the buildid cache (buildids, copy of binaries). By default, it is hardcoded to $HOME/.debug. This directory contains immutable data. The layout of the directory is such that no conflicts in filenames are possible. A modification in a file, yields a different buildid and thus a different location in the subdir hierarchy. You may want to put the buildid cache elsewhere because of disk space limitation or simply to share the cache between users. It is also useful for remote collect vs. local analysis of profiles. This patch adds a new config option to the perfconfig file. Under the tag 'buildid', there is a dir option. For instance, if you have: $ cat /etc/perfconfig [buildid] dir = /var/cache/perf-buildid All buildids and binaries are be saved in the directory specified. The perf record, buildid-list, buildid-cache, report, annotate, and archive commands will it to pull information out. The option can be set in the system-wide perfconfig file or in the $HOME/.perfconfig file. Cc: David S.

* perf: Fix performance issue with perf reportAnton Blanchard2010-05-041-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* perf: record TRACE_INFO only if using tracepoints and SAMPLE_RAWTom Zanussi2010-05-031-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* perf: add perf-inject builtinTom Zanussi2010-05-021-8/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* perf record: Introduce a symtab cacheArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2009-12-281-5/+77
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now a cache will be created in a ~/.debug debuginfo like hierarchy, so that at the end of a 'perf record' session all the binaries (with build-ids) involved get collected and indexed by their build-ids, so that perf report can find them. This is interesting when developing software where you want to do a 'perf diff' with the previous build and opens avenues for lots more interesting tools, like a 'perf diff --graph' that takes more than two binaries into account. Tunables for collecting just the symtabs can be added if one doesn't want to have the full binary, but having the full binary allows things like 'perf rerecord' or other tools that can re-run the tests by having access to the exact binary in some perf.data file, so it may well be interesting to keep the full binary there. Space consumption is minimised by trying to use hard links, a 'perf cache' tool to manage the space used, a la ccache is required to purge older entries. With this in place it will be possible also to introduce new commands, 'perf archive' and 'perf restore' (or some more suitable and future proof names) to create a cpio/tar file with the perf data and the files in the cache that _had_ perf hits of interest. There are more aspects to polish, like finding the right vmlinux file to cache, etc, but this is enough for a first step.
