2015-10-02perf stat: Reduce min --interval-print to 10msKan Liang
The --interval-print parameter was limited to 100ms. However, for example, 10ms is required to do sophisticated bandwidth analysis using uncore events. The test shows that the overhead of the system-wide uncore monitoring with 10ms interval is only ~2%. So this patch reduces the minimal interval-print allowd to 10ms. But 10ms may not work well for all cases. For example, when the cpus/threads number is very large, for system-wide core event monitoring the overhead could be high. To handle this issue, a warning will be displayed when the interval-print is set between 10ms to 100ms. So users can make a decision according to their specific cases. # perf stat -e uncore_imc_1/cas_count_read/ -a --interval-print 10 -- sleep 1 print interval < 100ms. The overhead percentage could be high in some cases.

2015-09-30perf report: Amend documentation about max_stack and synthesized callchainsAdrian Hunter
The --max_stack option was added as an optimization to reduce processing time, so people specifying --max-stack might get a increased processing time if combined with synthesized callchains, but otherwise no real harm.

2015-09-28perf intel-pt: Add mispred-all config option to aid use with autofdoAdrian Hunter
autofdo incorrectly expects branch flags to include either mispred or predicted. In fact mispred = predicted = 0 is valid and means the flags are not supported, which they aren't by Intel PT. To make autofdo work, add a config option which will cause Intel PT decoder to set the mispred flag on all branches. Below is an example of using Intel PT with autofdo. The example is also added to the Intel PT documentation. It requires autofdo (https://github.com/google/autofdo) and gcc version 5. The bubble sort example is from the AutoFDO tutorial (https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/AutoFDO/Tutorial) amended to take the number of elements as a parameter. $ gcc-5 -O3 sort.c -o sort_optimized $ ./sort_optimized 30000 Bubble sorting array of 30000 elements 2254 ms $ cat ~/.perfconfig [intel-pt] mispred-all $ perf record -e intel_pt//u ./sort 3000 Bubble sorting array of 3000 elements 58 ms [ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 3.939 MB perf.data ] $ perf inject -i perf.data -o inj --itrace=i100usle --strip $ ./create_gcov --binary=./sort --profile=inj --gcov=sort.gcov -gcov_version=1 $ gcc-5 -O3 -fauto-profile=sort.gcov sort.c -o sort_autofdo $ ./sort_autofdo 30000 Bubble sorting array of 30000 elements 2155 ms Note there is currently no advantage to using Intel PT instead of LBR, but that may change in the future if greater use is made of the data.

2015-09-28perf inject: Add --strip option to strip out non-synthesized eventsAdrian Hunter
Add a new option --strip which is used with --itrace to strip out non-synthesized events. This results in a perf.data file that is simpler for external tools to parse. In particular, this can be used to prepare a perf.data file for consumption by autofdo. A subsequent patch makes a change to Intel PT also to enable use with autofdo and gives an example of that use.

2015-09-28perf intel-pt: Support generating branch stackAdrian Hunter
Add support for generating branch stack context for PT samples. The decoder reports a configurable number of branches as branch context for each sample. Internally it keeps track of them by using a simple sliding window. We also flush the last branch buffer on each sample to avoid overlapping intervals. This is useful for: - Reporting accurate basic block edge frequencies through the perf report branch view - Using with --branch-history to get the wider context of samples - Other users of LBRs Also the Documentation is updated. Examples: Record with Intel PT: perf record -e intel_pt//u ls Branch stacks are used by default if synthesized so: perf report --itrace=ile is the same as: perf report --itrace=ile -b Branch history can be requested also: perf report --itrace=igle --branch-history Based-on-patch-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1443186956-18718-15-git-send-email-adrian.hunter@intel.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

2015-09-28perf auxtrace: Fix 'instructions' period of zeroAdrian Hunter
Instruction tracing options (i.e. --itrace) include an option for sampling instructions at an arbitrary period. e.g. --itrace=i10us means make an 'instructions' sample for every 10us of trace. Currently the logic does not distinguish between a period of zero and no period being specified at all, so it gets treated as the default period which is 100000. That doesn't really make sense. Fix it so that zero period is accepted and treated as meaning "as often as possible". In the case of Intel PT that is the same as a period of 1 and a unit of 'instructions' (i.e. --itrace=i1i).

2015-08-31perf record: Add ability to name registers to recordStephane Eranian
This patch modifies the -I/--int-regs option to enablepassing the name of the registers to sample on interrupt. Registers can be specified by their symbolic names. For instance on x86, --intr-regs=ax,si. The motivation is to reduce the size of the perf.data file and the overhead of sampling by only collecting the registers useful to a specific analysis. For instance, for value profiling, sampling only the registers used to passed arguements to functions. With no parameter, the --intr-regs still records all possible registers based on the architecture. To name registers, it is necessary to use the long form of the option, i.e., --intr-regs: $ perf record --intr-regs=si,di,r8,r9 ..... To record any possible registers: $ perf record -I ..... $ perf report --intr-regs ... To display the register, one can use perf report -D To list the available registers: $ perf record --intr-regs=\? available registers: AX BX CX DX SI DI BP SP IP FLAGS CS SS R8 R9 R10 R11 R12 R13 R14 R15 Signed-off-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Kan Liang <kan.liang@intel.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1441039273-16260-4-git-send-email-eranian@google.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

2015-08-17perf tools: Take Intel PT into useAdrian Hunter
To record an AUX area, the weak function auxtrace_record__init() must be implemented. Equally to decode an AUX area, the AUX area tracing type must be added to the perf_event__process_auxtrace_info() function. This patch makes those two changes plus hooks up default config for the intel_pt PMU. Also some brief documentation is provided for using the tools with intel_pt.

2015-08-10perf report: Add support for srcfile sort keyAndi Kleen

It builds on top of the existing srcline support.

2015-08-10perf tools: Support full source file paths for srclineAndi Kleen
For perf report/script srcline currently only the base file name of the source file is printed. This is a good default because it usually fits on the screen. But in some cases we want to know the full file name, for example to aggregate hits per file. In the later case we need more than the base file name to resolve file naming collisions: for example the kernel source has ~70 files named "core.c" It's also useful as input to post processing tools which want to point to the right file. Add a flag to allow full file name output. Add an option to perf report/script to enable this option.

We also pass in the cycles for weight when LBRs are processed, which allows to get global and local weight, to get an estimate of the total cost.

2015-07-29perf tools: Force period term to overload global settingsJiri Olsa
Currently the command line option settings beats the per event period settings: With no global settings, we get per-event configuration: $ perf record -e 'cpu/instructions,period=20000/' sleep 1 $ perf evlist -v ... { sample_period, sample_freq }: 20000 ... With 'c' option period setup, we get 'c' option value: $ perf record -e 'cpu/instructions,period=20000/' -c 1000 sleep 1 $ perf evlist -v ... { sample_period, sample_freq }: 1000 ... This patch makes the per-event settings overload the global 'c' option setup: $ perf record -e 'cpu/instructions,period=20000/' -c 1000 sleep 1 $ perf evlist -v ... { sample_period, sample_freq }: 20000 ... I think the making the per-event settings to overload any other config makes more sense than current state. However it breaks the current 'period' term handling, which might cause some noise.. so let's see ;-). Also fixing parse event tests with the new behaviour.

2015-07-20perf bench futex: Add lock_pi stresserDavidlohr Bueso
Allows a way of measuring low level kernel implementation of FUTEX_LOCK_PI and FUTEX_UNLOCK_PI. The program comes in two flavors: (i) single futex (default), all threads contend on the same uaddr. For the sake of the benchmark, we call into kernel space even when the lock is uncontended. The kernel will set it to TID, any waters that come in and contend for the pi futex will be handled respectively by the kernel. (ii) -M option for multiple futexes, each thread deals with its own futex. This is a trivial scenario and only measures kernel handling of 0->TID transition.

2015-07-20perf record: Allow filtering perf's pid via --exclude-perfWang Nan
This patch allows 'perf record' to exclude events issued by perf itself by '--exclude-perf' option. Before this patch, when doing something like: # perf record -a -e syscalls:sys_enter_write <cmd> One could easily get result like this: # /tmp/perf report --stdio ... # Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol # ........ ....... .................. .................... # 99.99% perf libpthread-2.18.so [.] __write_nocancel 0.01% ls libc-2.18.so [.] write 0.01% sshd libc-2.18.so [.] write ... Where most events are generated by perf itself. A shell trick can be done to filter perf itself out: # cat << EOF > ./tmp > #!/bin/sh > exec perf record -e ... --filter="common_pid != \$\$" -a sleep 10 > EOF # chmod a+x ./tmp # ./tmp However, doing so is user unfriendly. This patch extracts evsel iteration framework introduced by patch 'perf record: Apply filter to all events in a glob matching' into foreach_evsel_in_last_glob(), and makes exclude_perf() function append new filter expression to each evsel selected by a '-e' selector. To avoid losing filters if user pass '--filter' after '--exclude-perf', this patch uses perf_evsel__append_filter() in both case, instead of perf_evsel__set_filter() which removes old filter. As a side effect, now it is possible to use multiple '--filter' option for one selector. They are combinded with '&&'.

Testing it: # perf probe tcp_sendmsg '$params' Added new event: probe:tcp_sendmsg (on tcp_sendmsg with $params) You can now use it in all perf tools, such as: perf record -e probe:tcp_sendmsg -aR sleep 1 # perf probe -l probe:tcp_sendmsg (on tcp_sendmsg@acme/git/linux/net/ipv4/tcp.c with iocb sk msg size) # perf record -a -e probe:* press some random letters to generate TCP (sshd) traffic... ^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.223 MB perf.data (6 samples) ] # perf script sshd 6385 [2] 3.907529: probe:tcp_sendmsg: iocb=0xffff8800ac4cfe70 sk=0xffff88042196c140 msg=0xffff8800ac4cfda8 size=0x24 sshd 6385 [2] 4.138973: probe:tcp_sendmsg: iocb=0xffff8800ac4cfe70 sk=0xffff88042196c140 msg=0xffff8800ac4cfda8 size=0x24 sshd 6385 [2] 4.378966: probe:tcp_sendmsg: iocb=0xffff8800ac4cfe70 sk=0xffff88042196c140 msg=0xffff8800ac4cfda8 size=0x24 sshd 6385 [2] 4.603681: probe:tcp_sendmsg: iocb=0xffff8800ac4cfe70 sk=0xffff88042196c140 msg=0xffff8800ac4cfda8 size=0x24 sshd 6385 [2] 4.818455: probe:tcp_sendmsg: iocb=0xffff8800ac4cfe70 sk=0xffff88042196c140 msg=0xffff8800ac4cfda8 size=0x24 sshd 6385 [2] 5.043603: probe:tcp_sendmsg: iocb=0xffff8800ac4cfe70 sk=0xffff88042196c140 msg=0xffff8800ac4cfda8 size=0x24 # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/probe/tcp_sendmsg/format name: tcp_sendmsg ID: 1927 format: field:unsigned short common_type; offset:0; size:2; signed:0; field:unsigned char common_flags; offset:2; size:1; signed:0; field:unsigned char common_preempt_count; offset:3; size:1; signed:0; field:int common_pid; offset:4; size:4; signed:1; field:unsigned long __probe_ip; offset:8; size:8; signed:0; field:u64 iocb; offset:16; size:8; signed:0; field:u64 sk; offset:24; size:8; signed:0; field:u64 msg; offset:32; size:8; signed:0; field:u64 size; offset:40; size:8; signed:0; print fmt: "(%lx) iocb=0x%Lx sk=0x%Lx msg=0x%Lx size=0x%Lx", REC->__probe_ip, REC->iocb, REC->sk, REC->msg, REC->size # Do some system wide tracing of this probe + write syscalls: # perf trace -e write --ev probe:* --filter-pids 6385 462.612 (0.010 ms): bash/19153 write(fd: 1</dev/pts/1>, buf: 0x7f7556c78000, count: 29 ) = 29 462.701 (0.027 ms): sshd/19152 write(fd: 3<socket:[63117]>, buf: 0x7f78dd12e160, count: 68 ) ... 462.701 ( ): probe:tcp_sendmsg:(ffffffff8163db30) iocb=0xffff8803ebec7e70 sk=0xffff88042196ab80 msg=0xffff8803ebec7da8 size=0x44) 462.710 (0.035 ms): sshd/19152 ...

2015-05-05perf probe: Accept filter argument for --funcsMasami Hiramatsu
This allows the user to pass the filter pattern directly to the --funcs option as below: ---- # ./perf probe -F *kmalloc __kmalloc devm_kmalloc mempool_kmalloc sg_kmalloc sock_kmalloc ---- We previously needed to use the --filter option for that.

2015-05-04perf kmem: Add --live option for current allocation statNamhyung Kim
Currently 'perf kmem stat --page' shows total (page) allocation stat by default, but sometimes one might want to see live (total alloc-only) requests/pages only. The new --live option does this by subtracting freed allocation from the stat. E.g.: # perf kmem stat --page SUMMARY (page allocator) ======================== Total allocation requests : 988,858 [ 4,045,368 KB ] Total free requests : 886,484 [ 3,624,996 KB ] Total alloc+freed requests : 885,969 [ 3,622,628 KB ] Total alloc-only requests : 102,889 [ 422,740 KB ] Total free-only requests : 515 [ 2,368 KB ] Total allocation failures : 0 [ 0 KB ] Order Unmovable Reclaimable Movable Reserved CMA/Isolated ----- ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ 0 172,173 3,083 806,686 . . 1 284 . . . . 2 6,124 58 . . . 3 114 335 . . . 4 . . . . . 5 . . . . . 6 . . . . . 7 . . . . . 8 . . . . . 9 . . 1 . . 10 . . . . . # perf kmem stat --page --live SUMMARY (page allocator) ======================== Total allocation requests : 988,858 [ 4,045,368 KB ] Total free requests : 886,484 [ 3,624,996 KB ] Total alloc+freed requests : 885,969 [ 3,622,628 KB ] Total alloc-only requests : 102,889 [ 422,740 KB ] Total free-only requests : 515 [ 2,368 KB ] Total allocation failures : 0 [ 0 KB ] Order Unmovable Reclaimable Movable Reserved CMA/Isolated ----- ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ 0 2,214 3,025 97,156 . . 1 59 . . . . 2 19 58 . . . 3 23 335 . . . 4 . . . . . 5 . . . . . 6 . . . . . 7 . . . . . 8 . . . . . 9 . . . . . 10 . . . . . # Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Acked-by: Pekka Enberg <penberg@kernel.org> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Joonsoo Kim <js1304@gmail.com> Cc: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: linux-mm@kvack.org Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1429592107-1807-4-git-send-email-namhyung@kernel.org [ Added examples to the changeset log ] Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
