2016-06-24libnvdimm, pmem: allow nfit_test to override pmem_direct_access()Dan Williams
Currently phys_to_pfn_t() is an exported symbol to allow nfit_test to override it and indicate that nfit_test-pmem is not device-mapped. Now, we want to enable nfit_test to operate without DMA_CMA and the pmem it provides will no longer be physically contiguous, i.e. won't be capable of supporting direct_access requests larger than a page. Make pmem_direct_access() a weak symbol so that it can be replaced by the tools/testing/nvdimm/ version, and move phys_to_pfn_t() to a static inline now that it no longer needs to be overridden.

2016-06-23perf config: Introduce new init() and exit()Taeung Song
Many sub-commands use perf_config() but everytime perf_config() is called, perf_config() always read config files. (i.e. user config '~/.perfconfig' and system config '$(sysconfdir)/perfconfig') But it is better to use the config set that already contains all config key-value pairs to avoid this repetitive work reading the config files in perf_config(). (the config set mean a static variable 'config_set') In other words, if new perf_config__init() is called, only first time 'config_set' is initialized collecting all configs from the config files. And then we could use new perf_config() like old perf_config(). When a sub-command finished, free the config set by perf_config__exit() at run_builtin(). If we do, 'config_set' can be reused wherever perf_config() is called and a feature of old perf_config() is the same as new perf_config() work without the repetitive work that read the config files. In summary, in order to use features about configuration, we can call the functions at perf.c and other source files as below. # initialize a config set perf_config__init() # configure actual variables from a config set perf_config() # eliminate allocated config set perf_config__exit() # destroy existing config set and initialize a new config set. perf_config__refresh() Signed-off-by: Taeung Song <treeze.taeung@gmail.com> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1466691272-24117-3-git-send-email-treeze.taeung@gmail.com [ 'init' counterpart is 'exit', not 'finish' ] Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
2016-06-23perf script: Add callindent optionAdrian Hunter
Based on patches from Andi Kleen. When printing PT instruction traces with perf script it is rather useful to see some indentation for the call tree. This patch adds a new callindent field to perf script that prints spaces for the function call stack depth. We already have code to track the function call stack for PT, that we can reuse with minor modifications. The resulting output is not quite as nice as ftrace yet, but a lot better than what was there before. Note there are some corner cases when the thread stack gets code confused and prints incorrect indentation. Even with that it is fairly useful. When displaying kernel code traces it is recommended to run as root, as otherwise perf doesn't understand the kernel addresses properly, and may not reset the call stack correctly on kernel boundaries. Example output: sudo perf-with-kcore record eg2 -a -e intel_pt// -- sleep 1 sudo perf-with-kcore script eg2 --ns -F callindent,time,comm,pid,sym,ip,addr,flags,cpu --itrace=cre | less ... swapper 0 [000] 5830.389116586: call irq_exit ffffffff8104d620 smp_call_function_single_interrupt+0x30 => ffffffff8107e720 irq_exit swapper 0 [000] 5830.389116586: call idle_cpu ffffffff8107e769 irq_exit+0x49 => ffffffff810a3970 idle_cpu swapper 0 [000] 5830.389116586: return idle_cpu ffffffff810a39b7 idle_cpu+0x47 => ffffffff8107e76e irq_exit swapper 0 [000] 5830.389116586: call tick_nohz_irq_exit ffffffff8107e7bd irq_exit+0x9d => ffffffff810f2fc0 tick_nohz_irq_exit swapper 0 [000] 5830.389116919: call __tick_nohz_idle_enter ffffffff810f2fe0 tick_nohz_irq_exit+0x20 => ffffffff810f28d0 __tick_nohz_idle_enter swapper 0 [000] 5830.389116919: call ktime_get ffffffff810f28f1 __tick_nohz_idle_enter+0x21 => ffffffff810e9ec0 ktime_get swapper 0 [000] 5830.389116919: call read_tsc ffffffff810e9ef6 ktime_get+0x36 => ffffffff81035070 read_tsc swapper 0 [000] 5830.389116919: return read_tsc ffffffff81035084 read_tsc+0x14 => ffffffff810e9efc ktime_get swapper 0 [000] 5830.389116919: return ktime_get ffffffff810e9f46 ktime_get+0x86 => ffffffff810f28f6 __tick_nohz_idle_enter swapper 0 [000] 5830.389116919: call sched_clock_idle_sleep_event ffffffff810f290b __tick_nohz_idle_enter+0x3b => ffffffff810a7380 sched_clock_idle_sleep_event swapper 0 [000] 5830.389116919: call sched_clock_cpu ffffffff810a738b sched_clock_idle_sleep_event+0xb => ffffffff810a72e0 sched_clock_cpu swapper 0 [000] 5830.389116919: call sched_clock ffffffff810a734d sched_clock_cpu+0x6d => ffffffff81035750 sched_clock swapper 0 [000] 5830.389116919: call native_sched_clock ffffffff81035754 sched_clock+0x4 => ffffffff81035640 native_sched_clock swapper 0 [000] 5830.389116919: return native_sched_clock ffffffff8103568c native_sched_clock+0x4c => ffffffff81035759 sched_clock swapper 0 [000] 5830.389116919: return sched_clock ffffffff8103575c sched_clock+0xc => ffffffff810a7352 sched_clock_cpu swapper 0 [000] 5830.389116919: return sched_clock_cpu ffffffff810a7356 sched_clock_cpu+0x76 => ffffffff810a7390 sched_clock_idle_sleep_event swapper 0 [000] 5830.389116919: return sched_clock_idle_sleep_event ffffffff810a7391 sched_clock_idle_sleep_event+0x11 => ffffffff810f2910 __tick_nohz_idle_enter ...

2016-06-23perf auxtrace: Add option to feed branches to the thread stackAdrian Hunter
In preparation for using the thread stack to print an indent representing the stack depth in perf script, add an option to tell decoders to feed branches to the thread stack. Add support for that option to Intel PT and Intel BTS. The advantage of using the decoder to feed the thread stack is that it happens before branch filtering and so can be used with different itrace options (e.g. it still works when only showing calls, even though the thread stack needs to see calls and returns). Also it does not conflict with using the thread stack to get callchains.

2016-06-23perf script: Print sample flags more nicelyAdrian Hunter
The flags field is synthesized and may have a value when Instruction Trace decoding. The flags are "bcrosyiABEx" which stand for branch, call, return, conditional, system, asynchronous, interrupt, transaction abort, trace begin, trace end, and in transaction, respectively. Change the display so that known combinations of flags are printed more nicely e.g.: "call" for "bc", "return" for "br", "jcc" for "bo", "jmp" for "b", "int" for "bci", "iret" for "bri", "syscall" for "bcs", "sysret" for "brs", "async" for "by", "hw int" for "bcyi", "tx abrt" for "bA", "tr strt" for "bB", "tr end" for "bE". However the "x" flag will be displayed separately in those cases e.g. "jcc (x)" for a condition branch within a transaction. Example: perf record -e intel_pt//u ls perf script --ns -F comm,cpu,pid,tid,time,ip,addr,sym,dso,symoff,flags ... ls 3689/3689 [001] 2062.020965237: jcc 7f06a958847a _dl_sysdep_start+0xfa (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.19.so) => 7f06a9588450 _dl_sysdep_start+0xd0 (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.19.so) ls 3689/3689 [001] 2062.020965237: jmp 7f06a9588461 _dl_sysdep_start+0xe1 (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.19.so) => 7f06a95885a0 _dl_sysdep_start+0x220 (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.19.so) ls 3689/3689 [001] 2062.020965237: jmp 7f06a95885a4 _dl_sysdep_start+0x224 (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.19.so) => 7f06a9588470 _dl_sysdep_start+0xf0 (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.19.so) ls 3689/3689 [001] 2062.020965904: call 7f06a95884c3 _dl_sysdep_start+0x143 (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.19.so) => 7f06a9589140 brk+0x0 (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.19.so) ls 3689/3689 [001] 2062.020965904: syscall 7f06a958914a brk+0xa (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.19.so) => 0 [unknown] ([unknown]) ls 3689/3689 [001] 2062.020966237: tr strt 0 [unknown] ([unknown]) => 7f06a958914c brk+0xc (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.19.so) ls 3689/3689 [001] 2062.020966237: return 7f06a9589165 brk+0x25 (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.19.so) => 7f06a95884c8 _dl_sysdep_start+0x148 (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.19.so) ls 3689/3689 [001] 2062.020966237: jcc 7f06a95884d7 _dl_sysdep_start+0x157 (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.19.so) => 7f06a95885f0 _dl_sysdep_start+0x270 (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.19.so) ls 3689/3689 [001] 2062.020966237: call 7f06a95885f0 _dl_sysdep_start+0x270 (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.19.so) => 7f06a958ac50 strlen+0x0 (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.19.so) ls 3689/3689 [001] 2062.020966237: jcc 7f06a958ac6e strlen+0x1e (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.19.so) => 7f06a958ac60 strlen+0x10 (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.19.so) ...

2016-06-23perf tools: Find right DSO taking into account if binary is 32 or 64-bitHe Kuang
There's a problem in machine__findnew_vdso(), vdso buildid generated by a 32-bit machine stores it with the name 'vdso', but when processing buildid on a 64-bit machine with the same 'perf.data', perf will search for vdso named as 'vdso32' and get failed. This patch tries to find the existing dsos in machine->dsos by thread dso_type. 64-bit thread tries to find vdso with name 'vdso', because all 64-bit vdso is named as that. 32-bit thread first tries to find vdso with name 'vdso32' if this thread was run on 64-bit machine, if failed, then it tries 'vdso' which indicates that the thread was run on 32-bit machine when recording. Committer note: Additional explanation by Adrian Hunter: We match maps to builds ids using the file name - consider machine__findnew_[v]dso() called in map__new(). So in the context of a perf data file, we consider the file name to be unique. A vdso map does not have a file name - all we know is that it is vdso. We look at the thread to tell if it is 32-bit, 64-bit or x32. Then we need to get the build id which has been recorded using short name "[vdso]" or "[vdso32]" or "[vdsox32]". The problem is that on a 32-bit machine, we use the name "[vdso]". If you take a 32-bit perf data file to a 64-bit machine, it gets hard to figure out if "[vdso]" is 32-bit or 64-bit. This patch solves that problem. ---- This also merges a followup patch fixing a problem introduced by the original submission of this patch, that would crash 'perf record' when recording samples for a 32-bit app on a 64-bit system.

Add stackcollapse.py script as an example of parsing call chains, and also of using optparse to access command line options. The flame graph tools include a set of scripts that parse output from various tools (including "perf script"), remove the offsets in the function and collapse each stack to a single line. The website also says "perf report could have a report style [...] that output folded stacks directly, obviating the need for stackcollapse-perf.pl", so here it is. This script is a Python rewrite of stackcollapse-perf.pl, using the perf scripting interface to access the perf data directly from Python.

2016-06-21perf evsel: Fix write_backwards fallbackArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Commit b90dc17a5d14 "perf evsel: Add overwrite attribute and check write_backward" misunderstood the 'order' should be obeyed in __perf_evsel__open. But the way this was done for attr.write_backwards was buggy, as we need to check features in the inverse order of their introduction to the kernel, so that a newer tool checks first the newest perf_event_attr fields, detecting that the older kernel doesn't have support for them. Also, we can avoid calling sys_perf_event_open() if we have already detected the missing of write_backward.

2016-06-21perf llvm: Allow dump llvm output object file using llvm.dump-objWang Nan
Add a 'llvm.dump-obj' config option to enable perf dump BPF object files compiled by LLVM. This option is useful when using BPF objects in embedded platforms. LLVM compiler won't be deployed in these platforms, and currently we don't support dynamic compiling library. Before this patch users have to explicitly issue llvm commands to compile BPF scripts, and can't use helpers (like include path detection and default macros) in perf. With this option, user is allowed to use perf to compile their BPF objects then copy them into their embedded platforms.

2016-06-20ftracetest: Fix hist unsupported result in hist selftestsSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
When histograms are not configured in the kernel, the ftracetest histogram selftests should return "unsupported" and not "Failed". To detect this, the test scripts have: FEATURE=`grep hist events/sched/sched_process_fork/trigger` if [ -z "$FEATURE" ]; then echo "hist trigger is not supported" exit_unsupported fi The problem is that '-e' is in effect and any error will cause the program to terminate. The grep for 'hist' fails, because it is not compiled it (thus unsupported), but because grep has an error code for failing to find the string, it causes the program to terminate, and is marked as a failed test. Namhyung Kim recommended to test for the "hist" file located in events/sched/sched_process_fork/hist instead, as it is more inline with the other checks. As the hist file is only created if the histogram feature is enabled, that is a valid check.
