perf diff: Fix -o/--order option behavior (again)

2017-02-02T14:39:09+00:00

Commit 21e6d8428664 ("perf diff: Use perf_hpp__register_sort_field interface") changed list_add() to perf_hpp__register_sort_field(). This resulted in a behavior change since the field was added to the tail instead of the head. So the -o option is mostly ignored due to its order in the list. This patch fixes it by adding perf_hpp__prepend_sort_field().

perf diff: Fix segfault on 'perf diff -o N' option

2017-02-02T14:39:04+00:00

The -o/--order option is to select column number to sort a diff result. It does the job by adding a hpp field at the beginning of the sort list. But it should not be added to the output field list as it has no callbacks required by a output field. During the setup_sorting(), the perf_hpp__setup_output_field() appends the given sort keys to the output field if it's not there already. Originally it was checked by fmt->list being non-empty. But commit 3f931f2c4274 ("perf hists: Make hpp setup function generic") changed it to check the ->equal callback. Anyways, we don't need to add the pseudo hpp field to the output field list since it won't be used for output. So just skip fields if they have no ->color or ->entry callbacks.

perf annotate: Fix jump target outside of function address range

2016-12-15T19:25:46+00:00

If jump target is outside of function range, perf is not handling it correctly. Especially when target address is lesser than function start address, target offset will be negative. But, target address declared to be unsigned, converts negative number into 2's complement. See below example. Here target of 'jumpq' instruction at 34cf8 is 34ac0 which is lesser than function start address(34cf0). 34ac0 - 34cf0 = -0x230 = 0xfffffffffffffdd0 Objdump output: 0000000000034cf0 <__sigaction>: __GI___sigaction(): 34cf0: lea -0x20(%rdi),%eax 34cf3: cmp -bashx1,%eax 34cf6: jbe 34d00 <__sigaction+0x10> 34cf8: jmpq 34ac0 <__GI___libc_sigaction> 34cfd: nopl (%rax) 34d00: mov 0x386161(%rip),%rax # 3bae68 <_DYNAMIC+0x2e8> 34d07: movl -bashx16,%fs:(%rax) 34d0e: mov -bashxffffffff,%eax 34d13: retq perf annotate before applying patch: __GI___sigaction /usr/lib64/libc-2.22.so lea -0x20(%rdi),%eax cmp -bashx1,%eax v jbe 10 v jmpq fffffffffffffdd0 nop 10: mov _DYNAMIC+0x2e8,%rax movl -bashx16,%fs:(%rax) mov -bashxffffffff,%eax retq perf annotate after applying patch: __GI___sigaction /usr/lib64/libc-2.22.so lea -0x20(%rdi),%eax cmp -bashx1,%eax v jbe 10 ^ jmpq 34ac0 <__GI___libc_sigaction> nop 10: mov _DYNAMIC+0x2e8,%rax movl -bashx16,%fs:(%rax) mov -bashxffffffff,%eax retq Signed-off-by: Ravi Bangoria Cc: Alexander Shishkin Cc: Chris Riyder Cc: Kim Phillips Cc: Markus Trippelsdorf Cc: Masami Hiramatsu Cc: Naveen N.

perf annotate: Remove duplicate 'name' field from disasm_line

2016-11-25T13:24:16+00:00

The disasm_line::name field is always equal to ins::name, being used just to locate the instruction's ins_ops from the per-arch instructions table. Eliminate this duplication, nuking that field and instead make ins__find() return an ins_ops, store it in disasm_line::ins.ops, and keep just in disasm_line::ins.name what was in disasm_line::name, this way we end up not keeping a reference to entries in the per-arch instructions table. This in turn will help supporting multiple ways to manage the per-arch instructions table, allowing resorting that array, for instance, when the entries will move after references to its addresses were made. The same problem is avoided when one grows the array with realloc. So architectures simply keeping a constant array will work as well as architectures building the table using regular expressions or other logic that involves resorting the table.

If the branch is 100% predicted then the "predicted" is hidden. Similarly, if there is no branch tsx abort, the "abort" is hidden. There is only cycles shown (cycle is supported on skylake platform, older platform would be 0). If no iterations, the "iterations" is hidden.
