2019-08-31perf debug: Remove needless include directives from debug.hArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
All we need there is a forward declaration for 'union perf_event', so remove it from there and add missing header directives in places using things from this indirect include.

2019-08-20perf record: Enable LBR callstack capture jointly with thread stackAlexey Budankov
Enable '-j stack' applicability together with '--call-graph dwarf' option so thread stack data and LBR call stack could be captured jointly: $ perf record -g --call-graph dwarf,1024 -j stack,u -- stack_test Collected LBR call stack can be used to augment DWARF call stack calculated from the raw thread stack data and to provide more comprehensive call stack information for cases when collected SIZE is not enough to cover complete thread stack. Such cases are typical for workloads that allocate large arrays of data on its threads stacks or the possible SIZE to collect can't be large enough due to workload nature or system configuration and this is where hardware captured LBR call stacks can provide missing stack frames. Possible DWARF plus LBR call stacks consolidation algorithm description follows. With this patch set perf report command UI currently ignores collected LBR call stack data and still provides DWARF based call stacks information. =========================================================================== Overview: Legend: THS - thread stack CTX - thread register context SWS - software stack SSF - skipped stack frames PSS - Perf sample stack ip,sp,bp - HW registers values d - allocated stack regions kip - ip address in the kernel space K - captured thread stack size THS ----- | |<-stack bottom ... |---| |ip4| |---| PSS = SWS(THS(K)) | | --> | | | |d3 | user/ | |---| user PSS kernel PSS | |ip3| ------ ------ | |---| |SSF | |SSF | | | | .... .... | | | ------ ------ | |d2 | | -1 | | -1 | |---| user ------ ------ K |ip2| CTX |ip3 | |ip3 | |---| |----| |----| | |d1 | ... |ip2 | , |ip2 | | |---| |---| |----| |----| | |ip1| |bp0| |ip1 | |ip1 | | |---| |---| |----| |----| | | | |ip0|->|ip0 | |ip0 |<-user stack top | | | |---| ------ ------ | | |<-|sp0|<-stack |kip0|<-kernel stack bottom --> ----- ----- top |----| |kip1| |----| |kip2| |----| .... | |<-kernel stack top ------ Algorithm details: Legend: HWS - hardware stack K-SWS - kernel software stack BRANCH TABLE HWS ip ip from to ------ ----------- |ip7`| |ip7`| | |----| |----|----| |ip6`| |ip6`| | user PSS |----| |----|----| |ip5`| |ip5`| | ------ |----| |----|----| | -1 | |ip4`| |ip4`| | ------ |----| |----|----| |ip3 |~~~|ip3`| |ip3`| | |----| |----| |----|----| |ip2 |~~~|ip2`| |ip2`| | |----| |----| |----|----| |ip1 |~~~|ip1`| |ip1`|ip0`| |----| |----| ----------- |ip0 |~~~|ip0`|<---------' ------ ------ 1. if (sym(ipj) == sym(ipj`)), j=0-3 ===> user PSS 2. ipj` , j=4-7 ===> user PSS Augmented PSS = A_SWS(SWS(THS(K)), HWS): user/ user PSS kernel PSS ------ ------ |ip7`| |ip7`|<-user PSS bottom |----| |----| |ip6`| |ip6`| |----| |----| HWS |ip5`| |ip5`| |----| |----| |ip4`| |ip4`| ------ ------ |ip3 | |ip3 | |----| |----| SWS |ip2 | |ip2 | |----| |----| |ip1 | |ip1 | |----| |----| |ip0 | |ip0 |<-user PSS top ------ ------ |kip0|<-kernel PSS bottom |----| |kip1| K-SWS |----| |kip2| |----| |kip3|<-kernel PSS top ------ APSS Committer testing: Before: # perf record -g --call-graph dwarf,1024 -j stack,u ls > /dev/null unknown branch filter stack, check man page Usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>] or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>] -j, --branch-filter <branch filter mask> branch stack filter modes # perf record -g --call-graph dwarf,1024 -j u ls > /dev/null [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.054 MB perf.data (12 samples) ] # perf evlist -v cycles: size: 112, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|ADDR|CALLCHAIN|PERIOD|BRANCH_STACK|REGS_USER|STACK_USER|DATA_SRC, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, enable_on_exec: 1, task: 1, precise_ip: 3, mmap_data: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, exclude_callchain_user: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1, ksymbol: 1, bpf_event: 1, branch_sample_type: ANY, sample_regs_user: 0xff0fff, sample_stack_user: 1024 # After: # perf record -g --call-graph dwarf,1024 -j stack,u ls > /dev/null [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.044 MB perf.data (11 samples) ] [root@quaco ~]# perf evlist -v cycles: size: 112, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|ADDR|CALLCHAIN|PERIOD|BRANCH_STACK|REGS_USER|STACK_USER|DATA_SRC, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, enable_on_exec: 1, task: 1, precise_ip: 3, mmap_data: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, exclude_callchain_user: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1, ksymbol: 1, bpf_event: 1, branch_sample_type: USER|CALL_STACK, sample_regs_user: 0xff0fff, sample_stack_user: 1024 # Signed-off-by: Alexey Budankov <alexey.budankov@linux.intel.com> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Cc: Jin Yao <yao.jin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Kan Liang <kan.liang@linux.intel.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/e9e00090-66fb-d2a4-c90f-1d12344f7788@linux.intel.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

2017-11-02License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

2016-10-24perf tools: Implement branch_type event parameterAndi Kleen
It can be useful to specify branch type state per event, for example if we want to collect both software trace points and last branch PMU events in a single collection. Currently this doesn't work because the software trace point errors out with -b. There was already a branch-type parameter to configure branch sample types per event in the parser, but it was stubbed out. This patch implements the necessary plumbing to actually enable it. Now: $ perf record -e sched:sched_switch,cpu/cpu-cycles,branch_type=any/ ... works.
