perf intel-pt: Use shared x86 insn decoder

2019-09-01T01:27:52+00:00

Now that there's a common version of the decoder for all tools, use it instead of the local copy. Also use perf's check-headers.sh script to diff the decoder files to make sure they remain in sync with the kernel version. Objtool has a similar check. Committer notes: Had to keep this all pointing explicitely to x86 headers/files, i.e. instead of asm/isnn.h we had to use ../include/asm/insn.h when the files were in differemt dirs, or just replace "" with "foo.h". This way we continue to be able to process perf.data files with Intel PT traces in distros other than x86. Also fixed up the awk script paths to use $(srcdir)/tools/arch instead or relative directories so that we keep detached tarballs (make help | grep perf) working. For now the include lines in these headers are being ignored so as not to flag false reports of kernel/tools out of sync.

perf intel-pt: Remove inat.c from build dependency list

2019-09-01T01:27:52+00:00

intel-pt-insn-decoder.c includes inat.c directly, so it already has an implicit dependency on inat.c. The Build file dependency is redundant.

perf tools: Remove needless evlist.h include directives

2019-09-01T01:24:10+00:00

Remove the last unneeded use of cache.h in a header, we can check where it is really needed, i.e. we can remove it and be sure that it isn't being obtained indirectly. This is an old file, used by now incorrectly in many places, so it was providing includes needed indirectly, fixup this fallout.

perf intel-pt: Add CBR value to decoder state

For convenience, add the core-to-bus ratio (CBR) value to the decoder state. Signed-off-by: Adrian Hunter Cc: Jiri Olsa Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190622093248.581-4-adrian.hunter@intel.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf intel-pt: Cater for CBR change in PSB+

2019-06-25T11:47:10+00:00

PSB+ provides status information only so the core-to-bus ratio (CBR) in PSB+ will not have changed from its previous value. However, cater for the possibility of a another CBR change that gets caught up in the PSB+ anyway.

perf intel-pt: Decoder to output CBR changes immediately

2019-06-25T11:47:10+00:00

The core-to-bus ratio (CBR) provides the CPU frequency. With branches enabled, the decoder was outputting CBR changes only when there was a branch. That loses the correct time of the change if the trace is not in context (e.g. not tracing kernel space). Change to output the CBR change immediately.

perf intel-pt: Add decoder support for PEBS via PT

2019-06-17T18:57:17+00:00

PEBS data is encoded in Block Item Packets (BIP). Populate a new structure intel_pt_blk_items with the values and, upon a Block End Packet (BEP), report them as a new Intel PT sample type INTEL_PT_BLK_ITEMS.

perf intel-pt: Add new packets for PEBS via PT

2019-06-17T18:57:17+00:00

Add 3 new packets to supports PEBS via PT, namely Block Begin Packet (BBP), Block Item Packet (BIP) and Block End Packet (BEP). PEBS data is encoded into multiple BIP packets that come between BBP and BEP. The BEP packet might be associated with a FUP packet. That is indicated by using a separate packet type (INTEL_PT_BEP_IP) similar to other packets types with the _IP suffix. Refer to the Intel SDM for more information about PEBS via PT: https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-sdm May 2019 version: Vol. 3B 18.5.5.2 PEBS output to Intel® Processor Trace Decoding of BIP packets conflicts with single-byte TNT packets. Since BIP packets only occur in the context of a block (i.e. between BBP and BEP), that context must be recorded and passed to the packet decoder.

Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo: perf record: Alexey Budankov: - Allow mixing --user-regs with --call-graph=dwarf, making sure that the minimal set of registers for DWARF unwinding is present in the set of user registers requested to be present in each sample, while warning the user that this may make callchains unreliable if more that the minimal set of registers is needed to unwind. yuzhoujian: - Add support to collect callchains from kernel or user space only, IOW allow setting the perf_event_attr.exclude_callchain_{kernel,user} bits from the command line. perf trace: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo: - Remove x86_64 specific syscall numbers from the augmented_raw_syscalls BPF in-kernel collector of augmented raw_syscalls:sys_{enter,exit} payloads, use instead the syscall numbers obtainer either by the arch specific syscalltbl generators or from audit-libs. - Allow 'perf trace' to ask for the number of bytes to collect for string arguments, for now ask for PATH_MAX, i.e. the whole pathnames, which ends up being just a way to speficy which syscall args are pathnames and thus should be read using bpf_probe_read_str(). - Skip unknown syscalls when expanding strace like syscall groups. This helps using the 'string' group of syscalls to work in arm64, where some of the syscalls present in x86_64 that deal with strings, for instance 'access', are deprecated and this should not be asked for tracing. Leo Yan: - Exit when failing to build eBPF program. perf config: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo: - Bail out when a handler returns failure for a key-value pair. This helps with cases where processing a key-value pair is not just a matter of setting some tool specific knob, involving, for instance building a BPF program to then attach to the list of events 'perf trace' will use, e.g. augmented_raw_syscalls.c. perf.data: Kan Liang: - Read and store die ID information available in new Intel processors in CPUID.1F in the CPU topology written in the perf.data header. perf stat: Kan Liang: - Support per-die aggregation. Documentation: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo: - Update perf.data documentation about the CPU_TOPOLOGY, MEM_TOPOLOGY, CLOCKID and DIR_FORMAT headers. Song Liu: - Add description of headers HEADER_BPF_PROG_INFO and HEADER_BPF_BTF. Leo Yan: - Update default value for llvm.clang-bpf-cmd-template in 'man perf-config'. JVMTI: Jiri Olsa: - Address gcc string overflow warning for strncpy() core: - Remove superfluous nthreads system_wide setup in perf_evsel__alloc_fd(). Intel PT: Adrian Hunter: - Add support for samples to contain IPC ratio, collecting cycles information from CYC packets, showing the IPC info periodically, because Intel PT does not update the cycle count on every branch or instruction, the incremental values will often be zero. When there are values, they will be the number of instructions and number of cycles since the last update, and thus represent the average IPC since the last IPC value.
