2023-11-27perf test: Use existing config value for objdump pathJames Clark
There is already an existing config value for changing the objdump path, so instead of having two values that do the same thing, make 'perf test' use annotate.objdump as well.

2023-08-15perf parse-events: Remove BPF event supportIan Rogers
New features like the BPF --filter support in perf record have made the BPF event functionality somewhat redundant. As shown by commit fcb027c1a4f6 ("perf tools: Revert enable indices setting syntax for BPF map") and commit 14e4b9f4289a ("perf trace: Raw augmented syscalls fix libbpf 1.0+ compatibility") the BPF event support hasn't been well maintained and it adds considerable complexity in areas like event parsing, not least as '/' is a separator for event modifiers as well as in paths. This patch removes support in the event parser for BPF events and then the associated functions are removed. This leads to the removal of whole source files like bpf-loader.c. Removing support means that augmented syscalls in perf trace is broken, this will be fixed in a later commit adding support using BPF skeletons. The removal of BPF events causes an unused label warning from flex generated code, so update build to ignore it: ``` util/parse-events-flex.c:2704:1: error: label ‘find_rule’ defined but not used [-Werror=unused-label] 2704 | find_rule: /* we branch to this label when backing up */ ``` Committer notes: Extracted from a larger patch that was also removing the support for linking with libllvm and libclang, that were an alternative to using an external clang execution to compile the .c event source code into BPF bytecode. Testing it: # perf trace -e /home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.c event syntax error: '/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.c' \___ Bad event or PMU Unabled to find PMU or event on a PMU of 'home' Initial error: event syntax error: '/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.c' \___ Cannot find PMU `home'.

2023-04-04perf symbol: Add command line support for addr2line pathIan Rogers
Allow addr2line to be set either on the command line or via the perfconfig file. This doesn't currently work with llvm-addr2line as the addr2line code emits two things: 1) the address to decode, 2) a bogus ',' value. The expectation is the bogus value will generate: ?? ??:0 that terminates the addr2line reading. However, the output from llvm-addr2line is a single line with just the input ',' locking up the addr2line reading that is expecting a second line.

2021-07-07perf intel-pt: Add a config for max loops without consuming a packetAdrian Hunter
The Intel PT decoder limits the number of unconditional branches (e.g. jmps) decoded without consuming any trace packets. Generally, a loop needs a conditional branch which generates a TNT packet, whereas a "ret" instruction will generate a TIP or TNT packet. So exceeding the limit is assumed to be a never-ending loop, which can happen if there has been a decoding error putting the decoder at the wrong place in the code. Up until now, the limit of 10000 has been enough but some analytic purposes have been reported to exceed that. Increase the limit to 100000, and make it configurable via perf config intel-pt.max-loops. Also amend the "Never-ending loop" message to mention the configuration entry.

2021-02-11perf daemon: Add config file supportJiri Olsa
Adding support to configure daemon with config file. Each client or server invocation of perf daemon needs to know the base directory, where all sessions data is stored. The base is defined with: daemon.base Base path for daemon data. All sessions data are stored under this path. The daemon allows to create record sessions. Each session is a record command spawned and monitored by perf daemon. The session is defined with: session-<NAME>.run Defines new record session for daemon. The value is record's command line without the 'record' keyword. Example: # cat ~/.perfconfig [daemon] base=/opt/perfdata [session-cycles] run = -m 10M -e cycles --overwrite --switch-output -a [session-sched] run = -m 20M -e sched:* --overwrite --switch-output -a The example above defines '/opt/perfdata' as the base directory and 2 record sessions. # perf daemon start [2021-01-28 19:47:33.454413] daemon started (pid 16015) [2021-01-28 19:47:33.455910] reconfig: ruining session [cycles:16016]: -m 10M -e cycles --overwrite --switch-output -a [2021-01-28 19:47:33.456599] reconfig: ruining session [sched:16017]: -m 20M -e sched:* --overwrite --switch-output -a # ps -ef | grep perf ... perf daemon start ... /home/jolsa/.../perf record -m 20M -e cycles --overwrite --switch-output -a ... /home/jolsa/.../perf record -m 20M -e sched:* --overwrite --switch-output -a The base directory is populated with: # find /opt/perfdata/ /opt/perfdata/ /opt/perfdata/control <- control socket /opt/perfdata/session-cycles <- data for session 'cycles': /opt/perfdata/session-cycles/output <- perf record output /opt/perfdata/session-cycles/perf.data <- perf data /opt/perfdata/session-sched <- ditto for session 'sched' /opt/perfdata/session-sched/output /opt/perfdata/session-sched/perf.data Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Alexei Budankov <abudankov@huawei.com> Cc: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Cc: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Cc: Michael Petlan <mpetlan@redhat.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210208200908.1019149-7-jolsa@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

2020-08-14perf ftrace: Select function/function_graph tracer automaticallyChangbin Du
The '-g/-G' options have already implied function_graph tracer should be used instead of function tracer. So we don't need extra option '--tracer' in this case. This patch changes the behavior as below: - If '-g' or '-G' option is on, then function_graph tracer is used. - If '-T' or '-N' option is on, then function tracer is used. - The function_graph has priority over function tracer. - The option '--tracer' only take effect if neither -g/-G nor -T/-N is specified. Here are some examples. This will start tracing all functions using default tracer: $ sudo perf ftrace This will trace all functions using function graph tracer: $ sudo perf ftrace -G '*' This will trace function vfs_read using function graph tracer: $ sudo perf ftrace -G vfs_read This will trace function vfs_read using function tracer: $ sudo perf ftrace -T vfs_read Committer notes: Using '-h -G' will tell what that option is about, so to further clarify the above examples: # perf ftrace -h -G -G, --graph-funcs <func> Set graph filter on given functions # perf ftrace -h -g -g, --nograph-funcs <func> Set nograph filter on given functions # perf ftrace -h -T -T, --trace-funcs <func> trace given functions only # perf ftrace -h -N -N, --notrace-funcs <func> do not trace given functions # Signed-off-by: Changbin Du <changbin.du@gmail.com> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Acked-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org> Link: http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200808023141.14227-2-changbin.du@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

2019-10-07perf trace: Allow choosing how to augment the tracepoint argumentsArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
So far we used the libtraceevent printing routines when showing tracepoint arguments, but since 'perf trace' has a lot of beautifiers for syscall arguments, and since some of those can be used to augment tracepoint arguments, add a routine to make use of those beautifiers and allow the user to choose which one to use. The default now is to use the same beautifiers used for the strace-like sys_enter+sys_exit lines, but the user can choose the libtraceevent ones by either using the: perf trace --libtraceevent_print command line option, or by setting: # cat ~/.perfconfig [trace] tracepoint_beautifiers = libtraceevent For instance, here are some examples: # perf trace -e sched:*switch,*sleep,sched:*wakeup,exit*,sched:*exit sleep 1 0.000 sched:sched_wakeup(comm: "perf", pid: 5273 (perf), prio: 120, success: 1, target_cpu: 6) 0.621 nanosleep(rqtp: 0x7ffdd06d1140, rmtp: NULL) ... 0.628 sched:sched_switch(prev_comm: "sleep", prev_pid: 5273 (sleep), prev_prio: 120, prev_state: 1, next_comm: "swapper/6", next_pid: 0, next_prio: 120) 1000.879 sched:sched_wakeup(comm: "sleep", pid: 5273 (sleep), prio: 120, success: 1, target_cpu: 6) 0.621 ...

[continued]: nanosleep()) = 0 1001.012 exit_group(error_code: 0) = ? # The new default allocates an array of 'struct syscall_arg_fmt' for the tracepoint arguments and, just like with syscall arguments, tries to find suitable syscall_arg__scnprintf_NAME() routines to augment those tracepoint arguments based on their type (as in the tracefs "format" file), or even in their name + type, for instance arguntents with names ending in "fd" with type "int" get the fd scnprintf beautifier attached, etc. Soon this will take advantage of the kernel BTF information to augment enumerations based on the tracefs "format" type info.

2019-03-11perf report: Implement browsing of individual samplesAndi Kleen
Now 'perf report' can show whole time periods with 'perf script', but the user still has to find individual samples of interest manually. It would be expensive and complicated to search for the right samples in the whole perf file. Typically users only need to look at a small number of samples for useful analysis. Also the full scripts tend to show samples of all CPUs and all threads mixed up, which can be very confusing on larger systems. Add a new --samples option to save a small random number of samples per hist entry. Use a reservoir sample technique to select a representatve number of samples. Then allow browsing the samples using 'perf script' as part of the hist entry context menu. This automatically adds the right filters, so only the thread or cpu of the sample is displayed. Then we use less' search functionality to directly jump the to the time stamp of the selected sample. It uses different menus for assembler and source display. Assembler needs xed installed and source needs debuginfo. Currently it only supports as many samples as fit on the screen due to some limitations in the slang ui code.

2018-12-17perf tools: Allow specifying proc-map-timeout in config fileMark Drayton
The default timeout of 500ms for parsing /proc/<pid>/maps files is too short for profiling many of our services. This can be overridden by passing --proc-map-timeout to the relevant command but it'd be nice to globally increase our default value.
