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 intel-pt: Move branch filter logicAdrian Hunter
intel_pt_synth_branch_sample() skips synthesizing if the branch does not match the branch filter. That logic was sitting in the middle of the function but is more efficiently placed at the start of the function, so move it.

2015-09-28perf inject: Set branch stack feature flag when synthesizing branch stacksAdrian Hunter

2015-09-28perf report: Skip events with null branch stacksAdrian Hunter
A non-synthesized event might not have a branch stack if branch stacks have been synthesized (using itrace options). An example of that is when Intel PT records sched_switch events for decoding purposes. Those sched_switch events do not have branch stacks even though the Intel PT decoder may be synthesizing other events that do due to the itrace options.

2015-09-28perf intel-pt: Fix potential loop foreverAdrian Hunter
TSC packets contain only 7 bytes of TSC. The 8th byte is assumed to change so infrequently that its value can be inferred. However the logic must cater for a 7 byte wraparound, which it does by adding 1 to the top byte. The existing code was doing that with a while loop even though the addition should only need to be done once. That logic won't work (will loop forever) if TSC wraps around at the 8th byte. Theoretically that would take at least 10 years, unless something else went wrong. And what else could go wrong. Well, if the chunks of trace data are processed out of order, it will make it look like the 7-byte TSC has gone backwards (i.e. wrapped). If that happens 256 times then stuck in the while loop it will be. Fix that by getting rid of the unnecessary while loop.

2015-09-28perf report: Fix sample type validation for synthesized callchainsAdrian Hunter
Processing instruction tracing data (e.g. Intel PT) can synthesize callchains e.g. $ perf record -e intel_pt//u uname $ perf report --stdio --itrace=ige However perf report's callgraph option gets extra validation, so: $ perf report --stdio --itrace=ige -gflat Error: Selected -g or --branch-history but no callchain data. Did you call 'perf record' without -g? # To display the perf.data header info, # please use --header/--header-only options. # Fix the validation to know about instruction tracing options so above command works. A side-effect of the change is that the default option to accumulate the callchain of child functions comes into force. To get the previous behaviour the --no-children option can be used e.g. $ perf report --stdio --itrace=ige -gflat --no-children Signed-off-by: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1443186956-18718-3-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).

2015-09-25perf tools: Fix copying of /proc/kcoreAdrian Hunter
A copy of /proc/kcore containing the kernel text can be made to the buildid cache. e.g. perf buildid-cache -v -k /proc/kcore To workaround objdump limitations, a copy is also made when annotating against /proc/kcore. The copying process stops working from libelf about v1.62 onwards (the problem was found with v1.63). The cause is that a call to gelf_getphdr() in kcore__add_phdr() fails because additional validation has been added to gelf_getphdr(). The use of gelf_getphdr() is a misguided attempt to get default initialization of the Gelf_Phdr structure. That should not be necessary because every member of the Gelf_Phdr structure is subsequently assigned. So just remove the call to gelf_getphdr(). Similarly, a call to gelf_getehdr() in gelf_kcore__init() can be removed also.

2015-09-22perf record: Synthesize COMM event for a command line workloadNamhyung Kim
When perf creates a new child to profile, the events are enabled on exec(). And in this case, it doesn't synthesize any event for the child since they'll be generated during exec(). But there's an window between the enabling and the event generation. It used to be overcome since samples are only in kernel (so we always have the map) and the comm is overridden by a later COMM event. However it won't work if events are processed and displayed before the COMM event overrides like in 'perf script'. This leads to those early samples (like native_write_msr_safe) not having a comm but pid (like ':15328'). So it needs to synthesize COMM event for the child explicitly before enabling so that it can have a correct comm. But at this time, the comm will be "perf" since it's not exec-ed yet.

2015-09-21perf probe: Fix a segfault when removing uprobe eventsMasami Hiramatsu
Fix a segfault bug and a small mistake in perf probe -d. Since the "ulist" in perf_del_probe_events is never initialized, strlist__add(ulist, *) always causes a segfault when removing uprobe events by perf probe -d. Also, the "str" local variable is never released if fail to allocate the "klist". This fixes it too. This has been introduced by the commit e607f1426b58 ("perf probe: Print deleted events in cmd_probe()").

2015-09-18perf record: Avoid infinite loop at buildid processing with no samplesMark Rutland
If a session contains no events, we can get stuck in an infinite loop in __perf_session__process_events, with a non-zero file_size and data_offset, but a zero data_size. In this case, we can mmap the entirety of the file (consisting of the file and attribute headers), and fetch_mmaped_event will correctly refuse to read any (unmapped and non-existent) event headers. This causes __perf_session__process_events to unmap the file and retry with the exact same parameters, getting stuck in an infinite loop. This has been observed to result in an exit-time hang when counting rare/unschedulable events with perf record, and can be triggered artificially with the script below: ---- #!/bin/sh printf "REPRO: launching perf\n"; ./perf record -e software/config=9/ sleep 1 & PERF_PID=$!; sleep 0.002; kill -2 $PERF_PID; printf "REPRO: waiting for perf (%d) to exit...\n" "$PERF_PID"; wait $PERF_PID; printf "REPRO: perf exited\n"; ---- To avoid this, have __perf_session__process_events bail out early when the file has no data (i.e. it has no events). Commiter note: I only managed to reproduce this when setting /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict to '1' and changing the code to purposefully not process any samples and no synthesized samples, i.e. kptr_restrict prevents 'record' from synthesizing the kernel mmaps for vmlinux + modules and since it is a workload started from perf, we don't synthesize mmap/comm records for existing threads. Adrian Hunter managed to reproduce it in his environment tho.

2015-09-16perf stat: Fix per-pkg event reporting bugStephane Eranian
Per-pkg events need to be captured once per processor socket. The code in check_per_pkg() ensures only one value per processor package is used. However there is a problem with this function in case the first CPU of the package does not measure anything for the per-pkg event, but other CPUs do. Consider the following: $ create cgroup FOO; echo $$ >FOO/tasks; taskset -c 1 noploop & $ perf stat -a -I 1000 -e intel_cqm/llc_occupancy/ -G FOO sleep 100 1.00000 <not counted> Bytes intel_cqm/llc_occupancy/ FOO The reason for this is that CPU0 in the cgroup has nothing running on it. Yet check_per_plg() will mark socket0 as processed and no other event value will be considered for the socket. This patch fixes the problem by having check_per_pkg() only consider events which actually ran.
