2015-09-01perf build: Fix Intel PT instruction decoder dependency problemWang Nan
I hit following building error randomly: ... /bin/sh: /path/to/kernel/buildperf/util/intel-pt-decoder/inat-tables.c: No such file or directory ... LINK /path/to/kernel/buildperf/plugin_mac80211.so LINK /path/to/kernel/buildperf/plugin_kmem.so LINK /path/to/kernel/buildperf/plugin_xen.so LINK /path/to/kernel/buildperf/plugin_hrtimer.so In file included from util/intel-pt-decoder/intel-pt-insn-decoder.c:25:0: util/intel-pt-decoder/inat.c:24:25: fatal error: inat-tables.c: No such file or directory #include "inat-tables.c" ^ compilation terminated. make[4]: *** [/path/to/kernel/buildperf/util/intel-pt-decoder/intel-pt-insn-decoder.o] Error 1 make[4]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... LINK /path/to/kernel/buildperf/plugin_function.so This is caused by tools/perf/util/intel-pt-decoder/Build that, it tries to generate $(OUTPUT)util/intel-pt-decoder/inat-tables.c atomatically but forget to ensure the existance of $(OUTPUT)util/intel-pt-decoder directory. This patch fixes it by adding $(call rule_mkdir) like other similar rules.

2015-08-31perf tools: Fix build on powerpc broken by pt/btsAdrian Hunter
It is theoretically possible to process perf.data files created on x86 and that contain Intel PT or Intel BTS data, on any other architecture, which is why it is possible for there to be build errors on powerpc caused by pt/bts. The errors were: util/intel-pt-decoder/intel-pt-insn-decoder.c: In function ‘intel_pt_insn_decoder’: util/intel-pt-decoder/intel-pt-insn-decoder.c:138:3: error: switch missing default case [-Werror=switch-default] switch (insn->immediate.nbytes) { ^ cc1: all warnings being treated as errors linux-acme.git/tools/perf/perf-obj/libperf.a(libperf-in.o): In function `intel_pt_synth_branch_sample': sources/linux-acme.git/tools/perf/util/intel-pt.c:871: undefined reference to `tsc_to_perf_time' linux-acme.git/tools/perf/perf-obj/libperf.a(libperf-in.o): In function `intel_pt_sample': sources/linux-acme.git/tools/perf/util/intel-pt.c:915: undefined reference to `tsc_to_perf_time' sources/linux-acme.git/tools/perf/util/intel-pt.c:962: undefined reference to `tsc_to_perf_time' linux-acme.git/tools/perf/perf-obj/libperf.a(libperf-in.o): In function `intel_pt_process_event': sources/linux-acme.git/tools/perf/util/intel-pt.c:1454: undefined reference to `perf_time_to_tsc' Signed-off-by: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Sukadev Bhattiprolu <sukadev@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com> Cc: Zefan Li <lizefan@huawei.com> Cc: pi3orama@163.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1441046384-28663-1-git-send-email-adrian.hunter@intel.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
2015-08-24perf tools: Add Intel PT support for decoding TRACESTOP packetsAdrian Hunter
A TRACESTOP packet is produced when an Intel PT trace enters a defined region of the address space at which point the tracing stops. This patch just adds decoder support. Support for specifying TRACESTOP regions is left until later. For details refer to the June 2015 or later Intel 64 and IA-32 Architectures SDM Chapter 36 Intel Processor Trace.

2015-08-24perf tools: Add Intel PT support for decoding CYC packetsAdrian Hunter
CYC packets provide even finer grain timestamp information than MTC and TSC packets. A CYC packet contains the number of CPU cycles since the last CYC packet. This patch just adds decoder support. The CPU frequency can be related to TSC using the Maximum Non-Turbo Ratio in combination with the CBR (core-to-bus ratio) packet. However more accuracy is achieved by simply interpolating the number of cycles between other timing packets like MTC or TSC. This patch takes the latter approach. Support for a default value and validation of values is provided by a later patch. Also documentation is updated in a separate patch. For details refer to the June 2015 or later Intel 64 and IA-32 Architectures SDM Chapter 36 Intel Processor Trace.

2015-08-24perf tools: Add Intel PT support for decoding MTC packetsAdrian Hunter
MTC packets provide finer grain timestamp information than TSC packets. MTC packets record time using the hardware crystal clock (CTC) which is related to TSC packets using a TMA packet. This patch just adds decoder support. Support for a default value and validation of values is provided by a later patch. Also documentation is updated in a separate patch. For details refer to the June 2015 or later Intel 64 and IA-32 Architectures SDM Chapter 36 Intel Processor Trace.

2015-08-24perf tools: Pass Intel PT information for decoding MTC and CYCAdrian Hunter
Record additional information in the AUXTRACE_INFO event in preparation for decoding MTC and CYC packets. Pass the information to the decoder. The AUXTRACE_INFO record can be extended by using the size to indicate the presence of new members. The additional information includes PMU config bit positions and the TSC to CTC (hardware crystal clock) ratio needed to decode MTC packets.

2015-08-24perf tools: Add new Intel PT packet definitionsAdrian Hunter
New features have been added to Intel PT which include a number of new packet definitions. This patch adds packet definitions for new packets: TMA, MTC, CYC, VMCS, TRACESTOP and MNT. Also another bit in PIP is defined. This patch only adds support for the definitions. Later patches add support for decoding TMA, MTC, CYC and TRACESTOP which is where those packets are explained. VMCS and the newly defined bit in PIP are used with virtualization which is not supported yet. MNT is a maintenance packet which the decoder should ignore. For details, refer to the June 2015 or later Intel 64 and IA-32 Architectures SDM Chapter 36 Intel Processor Trace.

2015-08-24perf tools: Fix Intel PT 'instructions' sample periodAdrian Hunter
The period on synthesized 'instructions' samples was being set to a fixed value, whereas the correct value is the number of instructions since the last sample, which is a value that the decoder can provide. So do it that way.

2015-08-17perf tools: Add Intel PT decoderAdrian Hunter
Add support for decoding an Intel Processor Trace. Intel PT trace data must be 'decoded' which involves walking the object code and matching the trace data packets. The decoder requests a buffer of binary data via a get_trace() call-back, which it decodes using instruction information which it gets via another call-back walk_insn().

2015-08-17perf tools: Add Intel PT logAdrian Hunter
Add a facility to log Intel Processor Trace decoding. The log is intended for debugging purposes only. The log file name is "intel_pt.log" and is opened in the current directory. The log contains a record of all packets and instructions decoded and can get very large (10 MB would be a small one).

2015-08-17perf tools: Add Intel PT instruction decoderAdrian Hunter
Add support for decoding instructions for Intel Processor Trace. The kernel x86 instruction decoder is copied for this. This essentially provides intel_pt_get_insn() which takes a binary buffer, uses the kernel's x86 instruction decoder to get details of the instruction and then categorizes it for consumption by an Intel PT decoder.
