2019-02-06perf auxtrace: Add timestamp to auxtrace errorsAdrian Hunter
The timestamp can use useful to find part of a trace that has an error without outputting all of the trace e.g. using the itrace 's' option to skip initial number of events.

2018-10-24perf script: Make itrace script default to all callsAndi Kleen
By default 'perf script' for itrace outputs sampled instructions or branches. In my experience this is confusing to users because it's hard to correlate with real program behavior. The sampling makes sense for tools like 'perf report' that actually sample to reduce the run time, but run time is normally not a problem for 'perf script'. It's better to give an accurate representation of the program flow. Default 'perf script' to output all calls for itrace. That's a much saner default.

2018-08-03perf auxtrace: Support for perf report -D for s390Thomas Richter
Add initial support for s390 auxiliary traces using the CPU-Measurement Sampling Facility. Support and ignore PERF_REPORT_AUXTRACE_INFO records in the perf data file. Later patches will show the contents of the auxiliary traces. Setup the auxtrace queues and data structures for s390. A raw dump of the perf.data file now does not show an error when an auxtrace event is encountered.

Additional notes about the underlying hardware and software implementation, provided by Hendrik Brueckner (see Link: below). ============================================================================= The CPU-Measurement Facility (CPU-MF) provides a set of functions to obtain performance information on the mainframe. Basically, it was introduced with System z10 years ago for the z/Architecture, that means, 64-bit. For Linux, there are two facilities of interest, counter facility and sampling facility. The counter facility provides hardware counters for instructions, cycles, crypto-activities, and many more. The sampling facility is a hardware sampler that when started will write samples at a particular interval into a sampling buffer. At some point, for example, if a sample block is full, it generates an interrupt to collect samples (while the sampler continues to run). Few years ago, I started to provide the a perf PMU to use the counter and sampling facilities. Recently, the device driver was updated to also "export" the sampling buffer into the AUX area. Thomas now completed the related perf work to interpret and process these AUX data. If people are more interested in the sampling facility, they can have a look into: - The Load-Program-Parameter and the CPU-Measurement Facilities, SA23-2260-05 http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=isg26fcd1cc32246f4c8852574ce0044734a and to learn how-to use it for Linux on Z, have look at chapter 54, "Using the CPU-measurement facilities" in the: - Device Drivers, Features, and Commands, SC33-8411-34 http://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/dw/linux390/docu/l416dd34.pdf ============================================================================= Signed-off-by: Thomas Richter <tmricht@linux.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Hendrik Brueckner <brueckner@linux.ibm.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180803100758.GA28475@linux.ibm.com Cc: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180802074622.13641-2-tmricht@linux.ibm.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

2017-10-25locking/atomics: COCCINELLE/treewide: Convert trivial ACCESS_ONCE() patterns ↵Mark Rutland
to READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() Please do not apply this to mainline directly, instead please re-run the coccinelle script shown below and apply its output. For several reasons, it is desirable to use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() in preference to ACCESS_ONCE(), and new code is expected to use one of the former. So far, there's been no reason to change most existing uses of ACCESS_ONCE(), as these aren't harmful, and changing them results in churn. However, for some features, the read/write distinction is critical to correct operation. To distinguish these cases, separate read/write accessors must be used. This patch migrates (most) remaining ACCESS_ONCE() instances to {READ,WRITE}_ONCE(), using the following coccinelle script: ---- // Convert trivial ACCESS_ONCE() uses to equivalent READ_ONCE() and // WRITE_ONCE() // $ make coccicheck COCCI=/home/mark/once.cocci SPFLAGS="--include-headers" MODE=patch virtual patch @ depends on patch @ expression E1, E2; @@ - ACCESS_ONCE(E1) = E2 + WRITE_ONCE(E1, E2) @ depends on patch @ expression E; @@ - ACCESS_ONCE(E) + READ_ONCE(E) ---- Signed-off-by: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

In preparation for using the thread stack to print an indent representing the stack depth in perf script, add an option to tell decoders to feed branches to the thread stack. Add support for that option to Intel PT and Intel BTS. The advantage of using the decoder to feed the thread stack is that it happens before branch filtering and so can be used with different itrace options (e.g. it still works when only showing calls, even though the thread stack needs to see calls and returns). Also it does not conflict with using the thread stack to get callchains.

2016-03-30perf tools: Add support for skipping itrace instructionsAndi Kleen
When using 'perf script' to look at PT traces it is often useful to ignore the initialization code at the beginning. On larger traces which may have many millions of instructions in initialization code doing that in a pipeline can be very slow, with perf script spending a lot of CPU time calling printf and writing data.

This is much more efficient. v2: Add support for BTS (Adrian Hunter) Document in itrace.txt Fix branch check Check transactions and instructions too Committer note: To test intel_pt one needs to make sure VT-x isn't active, i.e. stopping KVM guests on the test machine, as described by Andi Kleen at http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160301234953.GD23621@tassilo.jf.intel.com Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1459187142-20035-1-git-send-email-andi@firstfloor.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

2015-05-04perf tools: Add AUX area tracing indexAdrian Hunter
Add an index of AUX area tracing events within a perf.data file. perf record uses a special user event PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND to enable sorting of events in chunks instead of having to sort all events altogether. AUX area tracing events contain data that can span back to the very beginning of the recording period. i.e. they do not obey the rules of PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND. By adding an index, AUX area tracing events can be found in advance and the PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND approach works as usual. The index is recorded with the auxtrace feature in the perf.data file. A session reads the index but does not process it. An AUX area decoder can queue all the AUX area data in advance using auxtrace_queues__process_index() or otherwise process the index in some custom manner.

It is assumed that AUX area decoding will synthesize events for consumption by other tools.

The nature of instruction tracing suggests the initial inclusion of options for "instructions" and "branches" events, but more could be added as needed.

2015-04-29perf session: Add hooks to allow transparent decoding of AUX area tracing dataAdrian Hunter
Hook into session processing so that AUX area decoding can synthesize events transparently to the tools. The advantages of transparent decoding are that tools can be used directly with perf.data files containing AUX area tracing data, which is easier for the user and more efficient than having a separate decoding tool. This will work as follows: 1. Tools will feed auxtrace events to the decoder using perf_tool->auxtrace() (support for that still to come). 2. The decoder can process side-band events as needed due to the auxtrace->process_event() hook. 3. The decoder can deliver synthesized events into the event stream using perf_session__deliver_synth_event(). Note the expectation is that decoding will work on data that is time-ordered with respect to the per-cpu or per-thread contexts that were recorded.

Add support for reading from the AUX area tracing mmap and synthesizing AUX area tracing events. This patch introduces an abstraction for recording AUX area data. Recording is initialized by auxtrace_record__init() which is a weak function to be implemented by the architecture to provide recording callbacks. Recording is mainly handled by auxtrace_mmap__read() and perf_event__synthesize_auxtrace() but there are callbacks for miscellaneous needs including validating and processing user options, populating private data in auxtrace_info_event, and freeing the structure when finished.

This patch supports the addition to the kernel of AUX area buffers that can be mmapped separately from the perf-events buffer. The AUX buffer can be configured to contain hardware-produced trace information. The first implementation will support Intel BTS and Intel PT. One auxtrace buffer is mmapped per perf-events buffer. If the requested auxtrace buffer size is zero, which it will be until further support is added, then no auxtrace mmapping is attempted.
