2025-04-11perf tools: Remove evsel__handle_error_quirks()Namhyung Kim
The evsel__handle_error_quirks() is to fixup invalid event attributes on some architecture based on the error code. Currently it's only used for AMD to disable precise_ip not to use IBS which has more restrictions. But the commit c33aea446bf555ab changed call evsel__precise_ip_fallback for any errors so there's no difference with the above function. To make matter worse, it caused a problem with branch stack on Zen3. The IBS doesn't support branch stack so it should use a regular core PMU event. The default event is set precise_max and it starts with 3. And evsel__precise_ip_fallback() tries with it and reduces the level one by one. At last it tries with 0 but it also failed on Zen3 since the branch stack is not supported for the cycles event. At this point, evsel__precise_ip_fallback() restores the original precise_ip value (3) in the hope that it can succeed with other modifier (like exclude_kernel). Then evsel__handle_error_quirks() see it has precise_ip != 0 and make it retry with 0. This created an infinite loop. Before: $ perf record -b -vv |& grep removing removing precise_ip on AMD removing precise_ip on AMD removing precise_ip on AMD removing precise_ip on AMD removing precise_ip on AMD removing precise_ip on AMD removing precise_ip on AMD removing precise_ip on AMD removing precise_ip on AMD removing precise_ip on AMD removing precise_ip on AMD removing precise_ip on AMD ... After: $ perf record -b true Error: Failure to open event 'cycles:P' on PMU 'cpu' which will be removed. Invalid event (cycles:P) in per-thread mode, enable system wide with '-a'.

2025-02-12perf sample: Make user_regs and intr_regs optionalIan Rogers
The struct dump_regs contains 512 bytes of cache_regs, meaning the two values in perf_sample contribute 1088 bytes of its total 1384 bytes size. Initializing this much memory has a cost reported by Tavian Barnes <tavianator@tavianator.com> as about 2.5% when running `perf script --itrace=i0`: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/d841b97b3ad2ca8bcab07e4293375fb7c32dfce7.1736618095.git.tavianator@tavianator.com/ Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> replied that the zero initialization was necessary and couldn't simply be removed. This patch aims to strike a middle ground of still zeroing the perf_sample, but removing 79% of its size by make user_regs and intr_regs optional pointers to zalloc-ed memory. To support the allocation accessors are created for user_regs and intr_regs. To support correct cleanup perf_sample__init and perf_sample__exit functions are created and added throughout the code base.

2025-01-08perf evsel: Improve the evsel__open_strerror() for EBUSYIan Rogers
The existing EBUSY strerror message is: The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 16 (Device or resource busy) for event (intel_bts//). "dmesg | grep -i perf" may provide additional information. The dmesg won't be useful. What is more useful is knowing what processes are potentially using the PMU, which some procfs scanning can reveal.

This should really be done on the evsel->priv area that 'perf script' sets up, but more work is needed to make sure that it is allocated when we need it, right now it is only used for conditionally, add some comments so that we move this to that 'perf script' specific area when the conditions are in place for that.

2024-12-09perf evsel: Allow evsel__newtp without libtraceeventIan Rogers
Switch from reading the tracepoint format to reading the id directly for the evsel config. This avoids the need to initialize libtraceevent, plugins, etc. It is sufficient for many tracepoint commands to work like: $ perf stat -e sched:sched_switch true To populate evsel->tp_format, do lazy initialization using libtraceevent in the evsel__tp_format function (the sys and name are saved in evsel__newtp_idx for this purpose). Reading the id should be indicative of the format failing to load, but if not an error is reported in evsel__tp_format. This could happen for a tracepoint with a format that fails to parse. As tracepoints can be parsed without libtraceevent with this, remove the associated #ifdefs in parse-events.c. By only lazily parsing the tracepoint format information it is hoped this will help improve the performance of code using tracepoints but not the format information. It also cuts down on the build and ifdef logic.

This caused a problem on AMD, as it stops on precise_ip of 2 for IBS but user events with exclude_kernel=1 cannot make progress. Let's add the evsel__handle_error_quirks() to this case specially.

2024-10-22perf tools: Detect missing kernel features properlyNamhyung Kim
The evsel__detect_missing_features() is to check if the attributes of the evsel is supported or not. But it checks the attribute based on the given evsel, it might miss something if the attr doesn't have the bit or give incorrect results if the event is special. Also it maintains the order of the feature that was added to the kernel which means it can assume older features should be supported once it detects the current feature is working. To minimized the confusion and to accurately check the kernel features, I think it's better to use a software event and go through all the features at once.

2024-08-14perf evlist: Save branch counters informationKan Liang
The branch counters logging (A.K.A LBR event logging) introduces a per-counter indication of precise event occurrences in LBRs. The kernel only dumps the number of occurrences into a record. The perf tool has to map the number to the corresponding event. Add evlist__update_br_cntr() to go through the evlist to pick the events that are configured to be logged. Assign a logical idx to track them, and add the total number of the events in the leader event. The total number will be used to allocate the space to save the branch counters for a block. The logical idx will be used to locate the corresponding event quickly in the following patches. It only needs to iterate the evlist once. The evsel__has_branch_counters() is also optimized.

2024-08-14perf report: Remove the first overflow check for branch countersKan Liang
A false overflow warning is triggered if a sample doesn't have any LBRs recorded and the branch counters feature is enabled. The current code does OVERFLOW_CHECK_u64() at the very beginning when reading the information of branch counters. It assumes that there is at least one LBR in the PEBS record. But it is a valid case that 0 LBR is recorded especially in a high context switch. Remove the OVERFLOW_CHECK_u64(). The later OVERFLOW_CHECK() should be good enough to check the overflow when reading the information of the branch counters.

2024-08-13perf stat: Fork and launch 'perf record' when 'perf stat' needs to get ↵Weilin Wang
retire latency value for a metric. When retire_latency value is used in a metric formula, evsel would fork a 'perf record' process with "-e" and "-W" options. 'perf record' will collect required retire_latency values in parallel while 'perf stat' is collecting counting values. At the point of time that 'perf stat' stops counting, evsel would stop 'perf record' by sending sigterm signal to 'perf record' process. Sampled data will be processed to get retire latency value. Another thread is required to synchronize between 'perf stat' and 'perf record' when we pass data through pipe. Retire_latency evsel is not opened for 'perf stat' so that there is no counter wasted on it. This commit includes code suggested by Namhyung to adjust reading size for groups that include retire_latency evsels. In current :R parsing implementation, the parser would recognize events with retire_latency modifier and insert them into the evlist like a normal event. Ideally, we need to avoid counting these events. In this commit, at the time when a retire_latency evsel is read, set the retire latency value processed from the sampled data to count value. This sampled retire latency value will be used for metric calculation and final event count print out. No special metric calculation and event print out code required for retire_latency events.

2024-06-10perf evsel: Refactor tool eventsIan Rogers
Tool events unnecessarily open a dummy perf event which is useless even with `perf record` which will still open a dummy event. Change the behavior of tool events so: - duration_time - call `rdclock` on open and then report the count as a delta since the start in evsel__read_counter. This moves code out of builtin-stat making it more general purpose. - user_time/system_time - open the fd as either `/proc/pid/stat` or `/proc/stat` for cases like system wide. evsel__read_counter will read the appropriate field out of the procfs file. These values were previously supplied by wait4, if the procfs read fails then the wait4 values are used, assuming the process/thread terminated. By reading user_time and system_time this way, interval mode, per PID and per CPU can be supported although there are restrictions given what the files provide (e.g. per PID can't be combined with per CPU). Opening any of the tool events for `perf record` is changed to return invalid.

2024-01-22perf util: Add helpers to parse task state string from libtraceeventZe Gao
Perf uses a hard coded string "RSDTtXZPI" to index the sched_switch prev_state field raw bitmask value. This works well except for when the kernel changes this string, in which case this will break again. Instead we add a new way to parse task state string from tracepoint print format already recorded by perf, which eliminates the further dependencies with this hardcode and unmaintainable macro, and this is exactly what libtraceevent[1] does for now. So we borrow the print flags parsing logic from libtraceevent[1]. And in get_states(), we walk the print arguments until the __print_flags() for the target state field is found, and use that to build the states string for future parsing.

2023-12-06perf evsel: Fallback to "task-clock" when not system wideIan Rogers
When the "cycles" event isn't available evsel will fallback to the "cpu-clock" software event. "task-clock" is similar to "cpu-clock" but only runs when the process is running. Falling back to "cpu-clock" when not system wide leads to confusion, by falling back to "task-clock" it is hoped the confusion is less. Pass the target to determine if "task-clock" is more appropriate. Update a nearby comment and debug string for the change.

2023-11-09perf tools: Add branch counter knobKan Liang
Add a new branch filter, "counter", for the branch counter option. It is used to mark the events which should be logged in the branch. If it is applied with the -j option, the counters of all the events should be logged in the branch. If the legacy kernel doesn't support the new branch sample type, switching off the branch counter filter. The stored counter values in each branch are displayed right after the regular branch stack information via perf report -D. Usage examples: # perf record -e "{branch-instructions,branch-misses}:S" -j any,counter Only the first event, branch-instructions, collect the LBR. Both branch-instructions and branch-misses are marked as logged events. The occurrences information of them can be found in the branch stack extension space of each branch. # perf record -e "{cpu/branch-instructions,branch_type=any/,cpu/branch-misses,branch_type=counter/}" Only the first event, branch-instructions, collect the LBR. Only the branch-misses event is marked as a logged event. Committer notes: I noticed 'perf test "Sample parsing"' failing, reported to the list and Kan provided a patch that checks if the evsel has a leader and that evsel->evlist is set, the comment in the source code further explains it.

2023-08-16perf parse-regs: Remove PERF_REGS_{MAX|MASK} from common codeLeo Yan
The macros PERF_REGS_MAX and PERF_REGS_MASK are architecture specific, let's remove them from the common file util/perf_regs.c. As a side effect, the weak functions arch__intr_reg_mask() and arch__user_reg_mask() just return zeros, every arch defines its own functions in the 'arch' folder for returning right values. Note, we don't need to return intr/user register masks dynamically, this is because these two functions are invoked during recording phase but not decoding phase, they are always invoked on the native environment, thus we don't need to parse them dynamically.
