* perf tools: Check perf.data ownerPeter Zijlstra2009-08-192-0/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add an owner check to opening perf.data files and a switch to silence it. Because perf-report/perf-annotate are binary parsers reading another users' perf.data file could be a security risk if the file were explicitly engineered to trigger bugs in the parser (we hope of course there are non such bugs, but you never know).

* perf tools: callchain: Fix bad rounding of minimum rateFrederic Weisbecker2009-08-091-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Sometimes we get callchain branches that have a rate under the limit given by the user. Say you launched: perf record -f -g -a ./hackbench 10 perf report -g fractal,10.0 And you got: 2.33% hackbench [kernel] [k] _spin_lock_irqsave | |--78.57%-- remove_wait_queue | poll_freewait | do_sys_poll | sys_poll | sysenter_dispatch | 0xf7ffa430 | 0x1ffadea3c | |--7.14%-- __up_read | up_read | do_page_fault | page_fault | 0xf7ffa430 | 0xa0df710000000a ... It is abnormal to get a 7.14% branch whereas we passed a 10% filter. The problem is that we round down the minimum threshold. This happens mostly when we have very low number of events. If the total amount of your branch is 4 and you have a subranch of 3 events, filtering to 90% will be computed like follows: limit = 4 * 0.9; The result is about 3.6, but the cast to integer will round down to 3. It means that our filter is actually of 75% We must then explicitly round up the minimum threshold.

* perf tools: callchain: Fix sum of percentages to be 100% by displaying ↵Frederic Weisbecker2009-08-091-3/+44
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | amount of ignored chains in fractal mode When we filter the callchains below a given percentage, we ignore them and the end result only shows entries that have an upper percentage than the filter threshold. It seems to users then that we have an imbalance in the percentage, as if the sum inside a profiled branch doesn't reach 100%. Since in the past there have been real perf report bugs that showed the same sypmtom, it would be nice to assure the user that the data is perfect and trustable and it all sums up to 100.00%. So fix this by displaying the remaining hits that have been filtered but without more detail than their amount in each branches.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | callchains When the callchain tree comes to insert an empty backtrace, it raises a spurious warning about the fact we are inserting an empty. This is spurious because the radix tree assumes it did something wrong to reach this state. But it didn't, we just met an empty callchain that has to be ignored.

* perf_counter: Fix/complete ftrace event records samplingFrederic Weisbecker2009-08-091-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch implements the kernel side support for ftrace event record sampling. A new counter sampling attribute is added: PERF_SAMPLE_TP_RECORD which requests ftrace events record sampling. In this case if a PERF_TYPE_TRACEPOINT counter is active and a tracepoint fires, we emit the tracepoint binary record to the perfcounter event buffer, as a sample. Result, after setting PERF_SAMPLE_TP_RECORD attribute from perf record: perf record -f -F 1 -a -e workqueue:workqueue_execution perf report -D 0x21e18 [0x48]: event: 9 . . ... raw event: size 72 bytes . 0000: 09 00 00 00 01 00 48 00 d0 c7 00 81 ff ff ff ff ......H........ . 0010: 0a 00 00 00 0a 00 00 00 21 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ........!...... . 0020: 2b 00 01 02 0a 00 00 00 0a 00 00 00 65 76 65 6e +...........eve . 0030: 74 73 2f 31 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0a 00 00 00 ts/1........... . 0040: e0 b1 31 81 ff ff ff ff ....... . 0x21e18 [0x48]: PERF_EVENT_SAMPLE (IP, 1): 10: 0xffffffff8100c7d0 period: 33 The raw ftrace binary record starts at offset 0020.

For that we need to have an instant access to the perf counter attribute. This is a matter of a flag to add in the struct ftrace_event. - Take care of the events recursivity! Don't ever try to record a lock event for example, it seems some locking is used in the profiling fast path and lead to a tracing recursivity. That will be fixed using raw spinlock or recursivity protection. - [...] - Profit! :-) Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com> Cc: Tom Zanussi <tzanussi@gmail.com> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Pekka Enberg <penberg@cs.helsinki.fi> Cc: Gabriel Munteanu <eduard.munteanu@linux360.ro> Cc: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | for some reason, this structure gets compiled as 36 bytes in some files (the ones that alloacte it) but 40 bytes in others (the ones that use it). The cause is an off_t type that gets a different size in different compilation units for some yet-to-be-explained reason. But the effect is disasterous; the size/offset members of the struct are at different offsets, and result in mostly complete garbage. The parser in perf is so robust that this all gets hidden, and after skipping an certain amount of samples, it recovers.... so this bug is not normally noticed. .... except when you want every sample to be exact. Fix this by just using an explicitly sized type.
