* perf tools: fix event parsing of comma-separated tracepoint eventsCorey Ashford2010-11-301-4/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are number of issues that prevent the use of multiple tracepoint events being specified in a -e/--event switch, separated by commas. For example, perf stat -e irq:irq_handler_entry,irq:irq_handler_exit ... fails because the tracepoint event parsing code doesn't recognize the comma separator properly. This patch corrects those issues.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The ordered sample code allocates singular reference objects struct sample_queue which have 48byte size on 64bit and 20 bytes on 32bit. That's silly.

* perf session: Keep file mmaped instead of malloc/memcpyThomas Gleixner2010-11-301-16/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Profiling perf with perf revealed that a large part of the processing time is spent in malloc/memcpy/free in the sample ordering code. That code copies the data from the mmap into malloc'ed memory. That's silly. We can keep the mmap and just store the pointer in the queuing data structure. For 64 bit this is not a problem as we map the whole file anyway. On 32bit we keep 8 maps around and unmap the oldest before mmaping the next chunk of the file.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix it by explaining what can be happening and giving the number of processed and lost events. Also holler if unknown events were found, that can be due to processing a perf.data file collected using a newer tool where newer events got added on reporting using an older perf tool, that or a bug, so ask for a report to be made.

* perf record: Add option to disable collecting build-idsArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2010-11-264-5/+26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Collecting build-ids for long running sessions may take a long time because it needs to traverse the whole just collected perf.data stream of events, marking the DSOs that had hits and then looking for the .note.gnu.build-id ELF section. For things like the 'trace' tool that records and right away consumes the data on systems where its unlikely that the DSOs being monitored will change while 'trace' runs, it is desirable to remove build id collection, so add a -B/--no-buildid option to perf record to allow such use case. Longer term we'll avoid all this if we, at DSO load time, in the kernel, take advantage of this slow code path to collect the build-id and stash it somewhere, so that we can insert it in the PERF_RECORD_MMAP event.

| * x86, perf, nmi: Disable perf if counters are not accessibleDon Zickus2010-11-261-0/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In a kvm virt guests, the perf counters are not emulated. Instead they return zero on a rdmsrl. The perf nmi handler uses the fact that crossing a zero means the counter overflowed (for those counters that do not have specific interrupt bits). Therefore on kvm guests, perf will swallow all NMIs thinking the counters overflowed. This causes problems for subsystems like kgdb which needs NMIs to do its magic. This problem was discovered by running kgdb tests. The solution is to write garbage into a perf counter during the initialization and hopefully reading back the same number. On kvm guests, the value will be read back as zero and we disable perf as a result.

| * perf: Fix inherit vs. context rotation bugThomas Gleixner2010-11-262-2/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It was found that sometimes children of tasks with inherited events had one extra event. Eventually it turned out to be due to the list rotation no being exclusive with the list iteration in the inheritance code. Cure this by temporarily disabling the rotation while we inherit the events.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | At least on ARM, padding is inserted between rb_node and sym in struct symbol_name_rb_node, causing "((void *)sym) - sizeof(struct rb_node)" to point inside rb_node rather than to the symbol_name_rb_node. Fix this by converting the code to use container_of().

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Oleg noticed that a perf-fd keeping a reference on the creating task leads to a few funny side effects. There's two different aspects to this: - kernel based perf-events, these should not take out a reference on the creating task and appear on the task's event list since they're not bound to fds nor visible to userspace. - fork() and pthread_create(), these can lead to the creating task dying (and thus the task's event-list becomming useless) but keeping the list and ref alive until the event is closed. Combined they lead to malfunction of the ptrace hw_tracepoints. Cure this by not considering kernel based perf_events for the owner-list and destroying the owner-list when the owner dies.

The boot arguments are: earlyprintk=vga ekgdboc=kbd kgdbwait Then simply type "go" at the kdb prompt and boot. The kernel will later emit the message: kgdb: Could not allocate hwbreakpoints And at that point the kernel debugger will cease to work correctly. The solution is to initialize the hw_breakpoint at the same time that all the other perf call backs are initialized instead of using a core_initcall() initialization which happens well after the kernel debugger can make use of hardware breakpoints.

| | * x86: Ignore trap bits on single step exceptionsFrederic Weisbecker2010-11-121-0/+4

These trap bits might be set if another exception will follow, like a breakpoint in the next instruction, or a watchpoint in the previous one. Or there can be any junk there. So if we handle these trap bits during the single step exception, we are going to handle an exception twice, or we are going to handle junk. Just ignore them in this case.
