2016-05-11perf buildid-cache: Use lsdir() for looking up buildid cachesMasami Hiramatsu
Use new lsdir() for looking up buildid caches. This changes logic a bit to ignore all dot files, since the build-id cache must not start with dot.

2016-05-11perf script: Fix export of callchains with recursion in db-exportChris Phlipot
When an IP with an unresolved symbol occurs in the callchain more than once (ie. recursion), then duplicate symbols can be created because the callchain nodes are never updated after they are first created. To fix this issue we call dso__find_symbol whenever we encounter a NULL symbol, in case we already added a symbol at that IP since we started traversing the callchain. This change prevents duplicate symbols from being exported when duplicate IPs are present in the callchain.

2016-05-11perf script: Fix symbol insertion behavior in db-exportChris Phlipot
Use the dso__insert_symbol function instead of symbols__insert() in order to properly update the dso symbol cache. If the cache is not updated, then duplicate symbols can be unintentionally created, inserted, and exported. This change prevents duplicate symbols from being exported due to dso__find_symbol() using a stale symbol cache.

2016-05-11perf symbols: Add dso__insert_symbol functionChris Phlipot
The current method for inserting symbols is to use the symbols__insert() function. However symbols__insert() does not update the dso symbol cache. This causes problems in the following scenario: 1. symbol not found at addr using dso__find_symbol 2. symbol inserted at addr using the existing symbols__insert function 3. symbol still not found at addr using dso__find_symbol() because cache isn't updated. This is undesired behavior. The undesired behavior in (3) is addressed by creating a new function, dso__insert_symbol() to both insert the symbol and update the symbol cache if necessary. If dso__insert_symbol() is used in (2) instead of symbols__insert(), then the undesired behavior in (3) is avoided.

2016-05-09perf symbols: Fix handling of zero-length symbols.Chris Phlipot
This change introduces a fix to symbols__find, so that it is able to find symbols of length zero (where start == end). The current code has the following problem: - The current implementation of symbols__find is unable to find any symbols of length zero. - The db-export framework explicitly creates zero length symbols at locations where no symbol currently exists. The combination of the two above behaviors results in behavior similar to the example below. 1. addr_location is created for a sample, but symbol is unable to be resolved. 2. db export creates an "unknown" symbol of length zero at that address and inserts it into the dso. 3. A new sample comes in at the same address, but symbol__find is unable to find the zero length symbol, so it is still unresolved. 4. db export sees the symbol is unresolved, and allocated a duplicate symbol, even though it already did this in step 2. This behavior continues every time an address without symbol information is seen, which causes a very large number of these symbols to be allocated. The effect of this fix can be observed by looking at the contents of an exported database before/after the fix (generated with scripts/python/export-to-postgresql.py) Ex. BEFORE THE CHANGE: example_db=# select count(*) from symbols; count -------- 900213 (1 row) example_db=# select count(*) from symbols where symbols.name='unknown'; count -------- 897355 (1 row) example_db=# select count(*) from symbols where symbols.name!='unknown'; count ------- 2858 (1 row) AFTER THE CHANGE: example_db=# select count(*) from symbols; count ------- 25217 (1 row) example_db=# select count(*) from symbols where name='unknown'; count ------- 22359 (1 row) example_db=# select count(*) from symbols where name!='unknown'; count ------- 2858 (1 row) Signed-off-by: Chris Phlipot <cphlipot0@gmail.com> Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1462612620-25008-1-git-send-email-cphlipot0@gmail.com [ Moved the test to later in the rb_tree tests, as this not the likely case ] Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

Test result: # ~/perf test 'ring buffer' 45: Test backward reading from ring buffer : Ok The test case is a while loop which calls prctl(PR_SET_NAME) multiple times. Each prctl should issue 2 events: one PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE, one PERF_RECORD_COMM. The first round creates a relative large ring buffer (256 pages). It can afford all events. Read from it and check the count of each type of events. The second round creates a small ring buffer (1 page) and makes it overwritable. Check the correctness of the buffer.

2016-05-09perf tools: Support reading from backward ring bufferWang Nan
perf_evlist__mmap_read_backward() is introduced for reading backward ring buffer. Since direction for reading such ring buffer is different from the direction kernel writing to it, and since user need to fetch most recent record from it, a perf_evlist__mmap_read_catchup() is introduced to move the reading pointer to the end of the buffer.

2016-05-09perf stat: Scale values by unit before metricsAndi Kleen
Scale values by unit before passing them to the metrics printing functions. This is needed for TopDown, because it needs to scale the slots correctly by pipeline width / SMTness. For existing metrics it shouldn't make any difference, as those generally use events that don't have any units.

2016-05-09perf callchain: Recording 'dwarf' callchains do not need DWARF unwinding supportHe Kuang
There is no need to check for DWARF unwinding support when using the 'dwarf' callchain record method, as this will only ask the kernel to collect stack dumps for later DWARF CFI processing, which can be done in another machine, where the support for DWARF unwinding need to be present.

2016-05-06perf script: Update export-to-postgresql to support callchain exportChris Phlipot
Update the export-to-postgresql.py to support the newly introduced callchain export. callchains are added into the existing call_paths table and can now be associated with samples when the "callpaths" commandline option is used with the script. Ex.: $ perf script -s export-to-postgresql.py example_db all callchains Includes the following changes to enable callchain export via the python export APIs: - Add the "callchains" commandline option, which is used to enable callchain export by setting the perf_db_export_callchains global - Add perf_db_export_callchains checks for call_path table creation and population. - Add call_path_id to samples_table to conform with the new API example usage and output using a small test app: test_app.c: volatile int x = 0; void inc_x_loop() { int i; for(i=0; i<100000000; i++) x++; } void a() { inc_x_loop(); } void b() { inc_x_loop(); } int main() { a(); b(); return 0; } example usage: $ gcc -g -O0 test_app.c $ perf record --call-graph=dwarf ./a.out [ perf record: Woken up 77 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 19.373 MB perf.data (2404 samples) ] $ perf script -s scripts/python/export-to-postgresql.py example_db all callchains $ psql example_db example_db=# SELECT (SELECT name FROM symbols WHERE id = cps.symbol_id) as symbol, (SELECT name FROM symbols WHERE id = (SELECT symbol_id from call_paths where id = cps.parent_id)) as parent_symbol, sum(period) as event_count FROM samples join call_paths as cps on call_path_id = cps.id GROUP BY cps.id,evsel_id ORDER BY event_count DESC LIMIT 5; symbol | parent_symbol | event_count ------------------+--------------------------+------------- inc_x_loop | a | 734250982 inc_x_loop | b | 731028057 unknown | unknown | 1335858 task_tick_fair | scheduler_tick | 1238842 update_wall_time | tick_do_update_jiffies64 | 650373 (5 rows) The above data shows total "self time" in cycles for each call path that was sampled. It is intended to demonstrate how it accounts separately for the two ways to reach the "inc_x_loop" function(via "a" and "b"). Recursive common table expressions can be used as well to get cumulative time spent in a function as well, but that is beyond the scope of this basic example.

2016-05-06perf script: Expose usage of the callchain db export via the python apiChris Phlipot
This change allows python scripts to be able to utilize the recent changes to the db export api allowing the export of call_paths derived from sampled callchains. These call paths are also now associated with the samples from which they were derived. - This feature is enabled by setting "perf_db_export_callchains" to true - When enabled, samples that have callchain information will have the callchains exported via call_path_table - The call_path_id field is added to sample_table to enable association of samples with the corresponding callchain stored in the call paths table. A call_path_id of 0 will be exported if there is no corresponding callchain. - When "perf_db_export_callchains" and "perf_db_export_calls" are both set to True, the call path root data structure will be shared. This prevents duplicating of data and call path ids that would result from building two separate call path trees in memory. - The call_return_processor structure definition was relocated to the header file to make its contents visible to db-export.c. This enables the sharing of call path trees between the two features, as mentioned above. This change is visible to python scripts using the python db export api. The change is backwards compatible with scripts written against the previous API, assuming that the scripts model the sample_table function after the one in export-to-postgresql.py script by allowing for additional arguments to be added in the future. ie. using *x as the final argument of the sample_table function.

2016-05-06perf script: Add call path id to exported sample in db exportChris Phlipot
The exported sample now contains a reference to the call_path_id that represents its callchain. While callchains themselves are nice to have, being able to associate them with samples makes them much more useful, and can allow for such things as determining how much cumulative time is spent in a particular function. This information is normally possible to get from the call return processor. However, when doing normal sampling, call/return information is not available, thus necessitating the need for associating samples directly with call paths. This commit include changes to db-export layer to make this information available for subsequent patches in this change set, but by itself, does not make any changes visible to the user.
