2012-01-12selftests: new very basic kernel selftests directoryFrederic Weisbecker
Bring a new kernel selftests directory in tools/testing/selftests. To add a new selftest, create a subdirectory with the sources and a makefile that creates a target named "run_test" then add the subdirectory name to the TARGET var in tools/testing/selftests/Makefile and tools/testing/selftests/run_tests script. This can help centralizing and maintaining any useful selftest that developers usually tend to let rust in peace on some random server.

2012-01-12virtio: harsher barriers for rpmsg.Rusty Russell
We were cheating with our barriers; using the smp ones rather than the real device ones. That was fine, until rpmsg came along, which is used to talk to a real device (a non-SMP CPU). Unfortunately, just putting back the real barriers (reverting d57ed95d) causes a performance regression on virtio-pci. In particular, Amos reports netbench's TCP_RR over virtio_net CPU utilization increased up to 35% while throughput went down by up to 14%. By comparison, this branch is in the noise.

2012-01-06perf top: Don't update total_period on process_sampleArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
It will be recalculated at __hists__output_resort, to take into account filters possibly applied by the TUI, etc. Since we do the percent math only for those entries that will appear on the TUI instead of for _all_ the entries at decay time, updating it for each sample makes the entries seem to decay faster when using the navigation keys (since the screen will be refreshed), as we're not coalescing the entries that are being batched to be merged at next resort/decay time, but considering their periods.

2011-12-23perf script: Add generic perl handler to process eventsRobert Richter
The current perf scripting facility only supports tracepoints. This patch implements a generic perl handler to support other events than tracepoints too. This patch introduces a function process_event() that is called by perf for each sample. The function is called with byte streams as arguments containing information about the event, its attributes, the sample and raw data. Perl's unpack() function can easily be used for byte decoding. The following is the default implementation for process_event() that can also be generated with perf script: # Packed byte string args of process_event(): # # $event: union perf_event util/event.h # $attr: struct perf_event_attr linux/perf_event.h # $sample: struct perf_sample util/event.h # $raw_data: perf_sample->raw_data util/event.h sub process_event { my ($event, $attr, $sample, $raw_data) = @_; my @event = unpack("LSS", $event); my @attr = unpack("LLQQQQQLLQQ", $attr); my @sample = unpack("QLLQQQQQLL", $sample); my @raw_data = unpack("C*", $raw_data); use Data::Dumper; print Dumper \@event, \@attr, \@sample, \@raw_data; } Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1323969824-9711-4-git-send-email-robert.richter@amd.com Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

2011-12-23perf tools: Unify handling of features when writing feature sectionRobert Richter
The features HEADER_TRACE_INFO and HEADER_BUILD_ID are handled different when writing the feature section. All other features are simply disabled on failure and writing the section goes on without returning an error. There is no reason for these special cases. This patch unifies handling of the features. This should be ok since all features can be parsed independently. Offset and size of a feature's block is stored in struct perf_file_ section right after the data block of perf.data (see perf_session__ write_header()). Thus, if a feature does not exist then other features can be processed anyway. Also moving special code for HEADER_BUILD_ID out to write_build_id(). v2: * perf record throws an error now if buildids may not be generated, which can be disabled with the --no-buildid option.

2011-12-23perf report: Accept fifos as input fileRobert Richter
The default input file for perf report is not handled the same way as perf record does it for its output file. This leads to unexpected behavior of perf report, etc. E.g.: # perf record -a -e cpu-cycles sleep 2 | perf report | cat failed to open perf.data: No such file or directory (try 'perf record' first) While perf record writes to a fifo, perf report expects perf.data to be read. This patch changes this to accept fifos as input file. Applies to the following commands: perf annotate perf buildid-list perf evlist perf kmem perf lock perf report perf sched perf script perf timechart Also fixes char const* -> const char* type declaration for filename strings. v2: * Prevent potential null pointer access to input_name in builtin-report.c.

2011-12-23perf tools: Fix out-of-bound access to struct perf_sessionRobert Richter
If filename is NULL there is an out-of-bound access to struct perf_session if it would be used with perf_session__open(). Shouldn't actually happen in current implementation as filename is always !NULL. Fixing this by always null-terminating filename.

2011-12-23perf tools: Look up thread names for system wide profilingDavid Ahern

2011-12-23perf tools: Fix comm for processes with named threadsDavid Ahern
perf does not properly handle monitoring of processes with named threads. For example: $ ps -C myapp -L PID LWP TTY TIME CMD 25118 25118 ? 00:00:00 myapp 25118 25119 ? 00:00:00 myapp:worker perf record -e cs -c 1 -fo /tmp/perf.data -p 25118 -- sleep 10 perf report --stdio -i /tmp/perf.data 100.00% myapp:worker [kernel.kallsyms] [k] perf_event_task_sched_out The process name is set to the name of the last thread it finds for the process. The Problem: perf-top and perf-record both create a thread_map of threads to be monitored. That map is used in perf_event__synthesize_thread_map which loops over the entries in thread_map and calls __event__synthesize_thread to generate COMM and MMAP events. __event__synthesize_thread calls perf_event__synthesize_comm which opens /proc/pid/status, reads the name of the task and its thread group id. That's all fine. The problem is that it then reads /proc/pid/task and generates COMM events for each task it finds - but using the name found in /proc/pid/status where pid is the thread of interest. The end result (looping over thread_map + synthesizing comm events for each thread each time) means the name of the last thread processed sets the name for all threads in the process - which is not good for multithreaded processes with named threads. The Fix: perf_event__synthesize_comm has an input argument (full) that decides whether to process task entries for each pid it is passed. It currently never set to 0 (perf_event__synthesize_comm has a single caller and it always passes the value 1). Let's fix that. Add the full input argument to __event__synthesize_thread which passes it to perf_event__synthesize_comm. For thread/process monitoring set full to 0 which means COMM and MMAP events are only generated for the pid passed to it. For system wide monitoring set full to 1 so that COMM events are generated for all threads in a process.

2011-12-22ktest: Fix compare script to test if options are not documentedSteven Rostedt
The compare script compare-ktest-sample.pl checks for options that are defined in ktest.pl and not documented in samples.conf, as well as samples in samples.conf that are not used in ktest.pl. With the switch to the hash format to initialize the ktest variables the compare script needs to be updated to handle the change. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2011-12-22ktest: Detect typos in option namesSteven Rostedt
It becomes quite annoying when you go to run a test and then realize that you typed an option name wrong, and the test starts doing the default action and not what you expected it to do. It is even more annoying when you wake up the next day after running the test over night when you discover this. By testing if all options specified in a config file are used by either ktest or were used in one of the option's values we can see if there are any dangling options that were not used. In such a case, show the user the options that were not used and ask them if they want to continue or not. The option IGNORE_UNUSED was also added to allow the user to override this feature.

2011-12-22ktest: Have all values be set by defaultsSteven Rostedt
Currently the patchcheck, bisect, and config_bisect variables are only able to be set per test. You can not set a default value for them. By letting default values be set, it makes some config files a bit easier, and also makes it easier to find typos in the option names. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2011-12-22ktest: Change initialization of defaults hash to perl formatSteven Rostedt

2011-12-22ktest: Add options SWITCH_TO_GOOD and SWITCH_TO_TESTSteven Rostedt
For machines that do no use grub, it may be needed to update an external image (tftp) before doing a reboot into either the test image or the known good image. The option SWITCH_TO_GOOD is added, where if it is defined, the command that is specified as its value will be executed before doing a reboot into a known good image. The option SWITCH_TO_TEST is added, where if it is defined, the command that is specified as its value will be executed before doing a reboot into the test image.
