* perf newt: Make <- exit the ui_browserArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2010-05-151-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Right now that means that pressing the left arrow willl make the symbol annotation window to exit back to the main symbol histogram browser. This is another improvement on the UI fastpath, i.e. just the arrows and enter are enough for most browsing.

* perf newt: Make <- zoom out filtersArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2010-05-143-3/+118
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* perf report: Report number of events, not samplesArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2010-05-146-50/+82
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* perf hist: Clarify events_stats fields usageArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2010-05-145-17/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* perf report: Librarize the annotation code and use it in the newt browserArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2010-05-114-52/+519
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* perf hist: Introduce hists class and move lots of methods to itArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2010-05-106-91/+79
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| * perf: Provide a new deterministic events reordering algorithmFrederic Weisbecker2010-05-092-45/+97

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.

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.

* perf/record: simplify TRACE_INFO tracepoint checkTom Zanussi2010-05-051-1/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 Zanussi2010-05-033-1/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

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.

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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
