* perf session: Embed the host machine data on perf_sessionArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2010-05-096-31/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We have just one host on a given session, and that is the most common setup right now, so embed a ->host_machine struct machine instance directly in the perf_session class, check if we're looking for it before going to the rb_tree. This also fixes a problem found when we try to process old perf.data files where we didn't have MMAP events for the kernel and modules and thus don't create the kernel maps, do it in event__preprocess_sample if it wasn't already.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Which can happen when processing old files that had no fake kernel MMAP, events. That shouldn't result in perf_session__create_kernel_maps not being called, this will be fixed in a followup patch, for now do these checks to avoid segfaulting.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Rename perf_event_attr::precise to perf_event_attr::precise_ip and widen it to 2 bits. This new field describes the required precision of the PERF_SAMPLE_IP field: 0 - SAMPLE_IP can have arbitrary skid 1 - SAMPLE_IP must have constant skid 2 - SAMPLE_IP requested to have 0 skid 3 - SAMPLE_IP must have 0 skid And modify the Intel PEBS code accordingly. The PEBS implementation now supports up to precise_ip == 2, where we perform the IP fixup. Also s/PERF_RECORD_MISC_EXACT/&_IP/ to clarify its meaning, this bit should be set for each PERF_SAMPLE_IP field known to match the actual instruction triggering the event. This new scheme allows for a PEBS mode that uses the buffer for more than a single event.

* perf/record: simplify TRACE_INFO tracepoint checkTom Zanussi2010-05-052-11/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix a couple of inefficiencies and redundancies related to have_tracepoints() and its use when checking whether to write TRACE_INFO. First, there's no need to use get_tracepoints_path() in have_tracepoints() - we really just want the part that checks whether any attributes correspondo to tracepoints. Second, we really don't care about raw_samples per se - tracepoints are always raw_samples. In any case, the have_tracepoints() check should be sufficient to decide whether or not to write TRACE_INFO.

| * perf: Fix performance issue with perf reportAnton Blanchard2010-05-042-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On a large machine we spend a lot of time in perf_header__find_attr when running perf report. If we are parsing a file without PERF_SAMPLE_ID then for each sample we call perf_header__find_attr and loop through all counter IDs, never finding a match. As the machine gets larger there are more per cpu counters and we spend an awful lot of time in there. The patch below initialises each sample id to -1ULL and checks for this in perf_header__find_attr. We may need to do something more intelligent eventually (eg a hash lookup from counter id to attr) but this at least fixes the most common usage of perf report.

| * perf: record TRACE_INFO only if using tracepoints and SAMPLE_RAWTom Zanussi2010-05-034-15/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current perf code implicitly assumes SAMPLE_RAW means tracepoints are being used, but doesn't check for that. It happily records the TRACE_INFO even if SAMPLE_RAW is used without tracepoints, but when the perf data is read it won't go any further when it finds TRACE_INFO but no tracepoints, and displays misleading errors. This adds a check for both in perf-record, and won't record TRACE_INFO unless both are true. This at least allows perf report -D to dump raw events, and avoids triggering a misleading error condition in perf trace. It doesn't actually enable the non-tracepoint raw events to be displayed in perf trace, since perf trace currently only deals with tracepoint events.

The problem is that if this field is not present, we try to find it and give up in the middle of the line when we realize we are actually dealing with another field, which is the "data" one. And this failure abandons the file pointer in the middle of the "data" description line: field: u64 timestamp; offset:0; size:8; signed:0; field: local_t commit; offset:8; size:8; signed:1; field: char data; offset:16; size:4080; signed:1; ^^^ Here What happens next is that we want to read this line to parse the data field, but we fail because the pointer is not in the beginning of the line. We could probably fix that by rewinding the pointer. But in fact we don't care much about these headers that only concern the ftrace ring-buffer. We don't use them from perf.

What would be better would be to have the build-ids sent before any of the samples that reference them, which can be done by processing the event stream and retrieving the build-ids on the first hit. Doing that in perf-record itself, however, is off-limits. This patch introduces perf-inject, which does the same job while leaving perf-record untouched. Normal mode perf still records the build-ids at the end of the session as it should, but for live mode, perf-inject can be injected in between the record and report steps e.g.: perf record -o - ./hackbench 10 | perf inject -v -b | perf report -v -i - perf-inject reads a perf-record event stream and repipes it to stdout. At any point the processing code can inject other events into the event stream - in this case build-ids (-b option) are read and injected as needed into the event stream. Build-ids are just the first user of perf-inject - potentially anything that needs userspace processing to augment the trace stream with additional information could make use of this facility.

The /proc/kallsyms file lack this, we only notice they are separate because there are modules after the kernel and after that more kernel functions, so we need to have a module rbtree backed by the module .ko path to get symtabs in the vmlinux case. The tool uses it to match by address to emit appropriate warning, but don't considers this fatal. The .init.text and .exit.text ines, of course, aren't in kallsyms, so I left these cases just as extra info in verbose mode. The end of the sections also aren't in kallsyms, so we the symbols layer does another pass and sets the end addresses as the next map start minus one, which sometimes pads, causing harmless mismatches. But at least the symbols match, tested it by copying /proc/kallsyms to /tmp/kallsyms and doing changes to see if they were detected. This first test also should serve as a first stab at documenting the symbol library by providing a self contained example that exercises it together with comments about what is being done. More tests to check if actions done on a monitored app, like doing mmaps, etc, makes the kernel generate the expected events should be added next.

* | perf: Generalize perf lock's sample event reordering to the session layerFrederic Weisbecker2010-04-243-176/+210
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The sample events recorded by perf record are not time ordered because we have one buffer per cpu for each event (even demultiplexed per task/per cpu for task bound events). But when we read trace events we want them to be ordered by time because many state machines are involved. There are currently two ways perf tools deal with that: - use -M to multiplex every buffers (perf sched, perf kmem) But this creates a lot of contention in SMP machines on record time. - use a post-processing time reordering (perf timechart, perf lock) The reordering used by timechart is simple but doesn't scale well with huge flow of events, in terms of performance and memory use (unusable with perf lock for example). Perf lock has its own samples reordering that flushes its memory use in a regular basis and that uses a sorting based on the previous event queued (a new event to be queued is close to the previous one most of the time). This patch proposes to export perf lock's samples reordering facility to the session layer that reads the events. So if a tool wants to get ordered sample events, it needs to set its struct perf_event_ops::ordered_samples to true and that's it. This prepares tracing based perf tools to get rid of the need to use buffers multiplexing (-M) or to implement their own reordering. Also lower the flush period to 2 as it's sufficient already.

* | perf lock: Fix state machine to recognize lock sequenceHitoshi Mitake2010-04-241-68/+342
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previous state machine of perf lock was really broken. This patch improves it a little. This patch prepares the list of state machine that represents lock sequences for each threads. These state machines can be one of these sequences: 1) acquire -> acquired -> release 2) acquire -> contended -> acquired -> release 3) acquire (w/ try) -> release 4) acquire (w/ read) -> release The case of 4) is a little special. Double acquire of read lock is allowed, so the state machine counts read lock number, and permits double acquire and release. But, things are not so simple. Something in my model is still wrong. I counted the number of lock instances with bad sequence, and ratio is like this (case of tracing whoami): bad:233, total:2279 version 2: * threads are now identified with tid, not pid * prepared SEQ_STATE_READ_ACQUIRED for read lock. * bunch of struct lock_seq_stat is now linked list * debug information enhanced (this have to be removed someday) e.g. | === output for debug=== | | bad:233, total:2279 | bad rate:0.000000 | histogram of events caused bad sequence | acquire: 165 | acquired: 0 | contended: 0 | release: 68 Signed-off-by: Hitoshi Mitake <mitake@dcl.info.waseda.ac.jp> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com> Cc: Jason Baron <jbaron@redhat.com> Cc: Xiao Guangrong <xiaoguangrong@cn.fujitsu.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> LKML-Reference: <1271852634-9351-1-git-send-email-mitake@dcl.info.waseda.ac.jp> [rename SEQ_STATE_UNINITED to SEQ_STATE_UNINITIALIZED] Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com>
