2017-07-28perf annotate: Fix storing per line sym_hist_entryArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
The existing loop incremented the offset while using it as the array index, when we went to an array of sym_hist_entry instances, we should've moved the increment to outside of the array element reference, oops, fix it.

2017-07-26perf sort: Use default sort if evlist is emptyDavid Carrillo-Cisneros
Fixes bug noted by Jiri in https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/6/13/755 and caused by commit d49dadea7862 ("perf tools: Make 'trace' or 'trace_fields' sort key default for tracepoint events") not taking into account that evlist is empty in pipe-mode. Before this commit, pipe mode will only show bogus "100.00% N/A" instead of correct output as follows: $ perf record -o - sleep 1 | perf report -i - # To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options. # [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.000 MB - ] # # Total Lost Samples: 0 # # Samples: 8 of event 'cycles:ppH' # Event count (approx.): 145658 # # Overhead Trace output # ........ ............ # 100.00% N/A Correct output, after patch: $ perf record -o - sleep 1 | perf report -i - # To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options. # [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.000 MB - ] # # Total Lost Samples: 0 # # Samples: 8 of event 'cycles:ppH' # Event count (approx.): 191331 # # Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol # ........ ....... ................. ................................. # 81.63% sleep libc-2.19.so [.] _exit 13.58% sleep ld-2.19.so [.] do_lookup_x 2.34% sleep [kernel.kallsyms] [k] context_switch 2.34% sleep libc-2.19.so [.] __GI___libc_nanosleep 0.11% perf [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __intel_pmu_enable_a Reported-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Report-Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170613185422.GA6092@krava Signed-off-by: David Carrillo-Cisneros <davidcc@google.com> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Paul Turner <pjt@google.com> Cc: Simon Que <sque@chromium.org> Cc: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Cc: Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com> Fixes: d49dadea7862 ("perf tools: Make 'trace' or 'trace_fields' sort key default for tracepoint events") Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170721051157.47331-1-davidcc@google.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

2017-07-26perf stat: Use group read for event groupsJiri Olsa
Make perf stat use group read if there are groups defined. The group read will get the values for all member of groups within a single syscall instead of calling read syscall for every event. We can see considerable less amount of kernel cycles spent on single group read, than reading each event separately, like for following perf stat command: # perf stat -e {cycles,instructions} -I 10 -a sleep 1 Monitored with "perf stat -r 5 -e '{cycles:u,cycles:k}'" Before: 24,325,676 cycles:u 297,040,775 cycles:k 1.038554134 seconds time elapsed After: 25,034,418 cycles:u 158,256,395 cycles:k 1.036864497 seconds time elapsed The perf_evsel__open fallback changes contributed by Andi Kleen.

2017-07-25perf report: Tag branch type/flag on "to" and tag cycles on "from"Jin Yao
Current --branch-history LBR annotation displays confused data. For example, each cycles report is duplicated on both "from" and "to" entries. For example: perf report --branch-history --no-children --stdio --2.32%--main div.c:39 (COND_BWD CROSS_2M predicted:49.7% cycles:1) main div.c:44 (predicted:49.7% cycles:1) main div.c:42 (RET CROSS_2M cycles:2) compute_flag div.c:28 (cycles:2) compute_flag div.c:27 (RET CROSS_2M cycles:1) rand rand.c:28 (cycles:1) rand rand.c:28 (RET CROSS_2M cycles:1) __random random.c:298 (cycles:1) __random random.c:297 (COND_BWD CROSS_2M cycles:1) __random random.c:295 (cycles:1) __random random.c:295 (COND_BWD CROSS_2M cycles:1) __random random.c:295 (cycles:1) __random random.c:295 (RET CROSS_2M cycles:9) The cycles should be tagged only on the "from". It's for the code block that ends with "from", not for "to". Another issue is the "predicted:49.7%" is duplicated too (tag on both "from" and "to"). This patch tags the branch type/flag on "to" and tag the cycles on "from". For example: --2.32%--main div.c:39 (COND_BWD CROSS_2M predicted:49.7%) main div.c:44 (cycles:1) main div.c:42 (RET CROSS_2M) compute_flag div.c:28 (cycles:2) compute_flag div.c:27 (RET CROSS_2M) rand rand.c:28 (cycles:1) rand rand.c:28 (RET CROSS_2M) __random random.c:298 (cycles:1) __random random.c:297 (COND_BWD CROSS_2M) __random random.c:295 (cycles:1) __random random.c:295 (COND_BWD CROSS_2M) __random random.c:295 (cycles:1) __random random.c:295 (RET CROSS_2M) | --2.23%--__random_r random_r.c:392 (cycles:9) In this example, The "main div.c:39 (COND_BWD CROSS_2M predicted:49.7%)" is "to" of branch and "main div.c:44 (cycles:1)" is "from" of branch. It should be easier for understanding than before.

2017-07-25perf report: Make --branch-history work without callgraphs(-g) option in ↵Jin Yao
perf record perf record -b -g <command> perf report --branch-history This merges the LBRs with the callgraphs. However it would be nice if it also works without callgraphs (-g) set in perf record, so that only the LBRs are displayed. But currently perf report errors in this case. For example, perf record -b <command> perf report --branch-history Error: Selected -g or --branch-history but no callchain data. Did you call 'perf record' without -g? This patch displays the LBRs only even if callgraphs(-g) is not enabled in perf record. Change log: v2: According to Milian Wolff's comment, change the obsolete error message. Now the error message is: ┌─Error:─────────────────────────────────────┐ │Selected -g or --branch-history. │ │But no callchain or branch data. │ │Did you call 'perf record' without -g or -b?│ │ │ │ │ │Press any key... │ └────────────────────────────────────────────┘ When passing the last parameter to hists__fprintf, changes "|" to "||". hists__fprintf(hists, !quiet, 0, 0, rep->min_percent, stdout, symbol_conf.use_callchain || symbol_conf.show_branchflag_count); Signed-off-by: Yao Jin <yao.jin@linux.intel.com> Reviewed-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Kan Liang <kan.liang@intel.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1494240182-28899-1-git-send-email-yao.jin@linux.intel.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

2017-07-25perf report: Fix kernel symbol adjustment for s390xThomas Richter
On s390x the kernel text segment starts at address 0x0. When perf report reads kernel symbols from vmlinux file it adds an offset of 0x1000. For example see symbol set_reset_devices: [root@s8360047 linux-devel]# nm -A vmlinux| fgrep set_reset_devices vmlinux:0000000001379000 t set_reset_devices [root@s8360047 linux-devel]# [root@s8360047 linux-devel]# fgrep set_reset_devices /proc/kallsyms 0000000001379000 t set_reset_devices [root@s8360047 linux-devel]# The kernel symbol table and the vmlinux file have the same address for symbol set_reset_devices namely 1379000. When perf report reads this symbols it displays it with address symbol__new: set_reset_devices 0x137a000-0x137a018 There is a difference between perf report and vmlinux of 0x1000. The reason for the difference is at kernel symbol load time in function dso__load_sym(). The vmlinux file is investigated with its ELF header. Command readelf shows this: Section Headers: [Nr] Name Type Address Offset Size EntSize Flags Link Info Align [ 0] NULL 0000000000000000 00000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0 0 0 [ 1] .text PROGBITS 0000000000000000 00001000 0000000000b0e0c2 0000000000000000 AX 0 0 128 This leads to an invalid calculation of the symbol start address, see file utit/symbol-elf.c line 974: /* Adjust symbol to map to file offset */ if (adjust_kernel_syms) sym.st_value -= shdr.sh_addr - shdr.sh_offset; With shdr.sh_addr set to 0x0 and shdr.sh_offset set to 0x1000 as read from the ELF .text section 0x1000 is added to the symbol address. I would like to fix this by introducing an archticture specific function named elf__needs_adjust_symbols(). This is the same approach as done by PowerPC. The function currently does not exist for s390x and the default weak one is used. The s390x specific one returns false when symsrc_init() is invoked for kernel symbols and results in variable adjust_kernel_syms being false. This omits the adjustment and the correct address is displayed (when symbol resolvement does not work). The s390x specific function returns false for kernel symbol adjustment and returns true for kernel modules, processes and shared libraries.

Avoiding a loop, so now its quite convenient to ssh to a machine and then simply do: # perf trace To trace all syscalls without causing a loop. This was possible using --filter-pids, i.e. once you noticed the loop, get the sshd pid and add it to --filter-pids, restarting the 'perf trace'. Now to figure out how to do that in a X terminal, the other common scenario, which is way more involved, as there are multiple processes communicating to process terminal activity... Using --filter-pids + '-e \!syscall,names,you,dont,need' may be a good approximation when having to do syswide tracing on your workstation.

2017-07-20perf trace: Use the syscall_fmt formatters without a tracepointArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Previously we only used the syscall_fmt when we had sc->tp_format set, i.e. when we found the (enter, exit) pair in tracefs/events/syscalls/. But we really only need to use what is in sc->arg_fmt to apply the arg beautifiers to the syscall argument values, so do it. With this we will be able to provide formatters to the "clone" syscall, which doesn't have entries in tracefs/events/syscalls/.

2017-07-20perf/core: Fix scheduling regression of pinned groupsAlexander Shishkin
Vince Weaver reported: > I was tracking down some regressions in my perf_event_test testsuite. > Some of the tests broke in the 4.11-rc1 timeframe. > > I've bisected one of them, this report is about > tests/overflow/simul_oneshot_group_overflow > This test creates an event group containing two sampling events, set > to overflow to a signal handler (which disables and then refreshes the > event). > > On a good kernel you get the following: > Event perf::instructions with period 1000000 > Event perf::instructions with period 2000000 > fd 3 overflows: 946 (perf::instructions/1000000) > fd 4 overflows: 473 (perf::instructions/2000000) > Ending counts: > Count 0: 946379875 > Count 1: 946365218 > > With the broken kernels you get: > Event perf::instructions with period 1000000 > Event perf::instructions with period 2000000 > fd 3 overflows: 938 (perf::instructions/1000000) > fd 4 overflows: 318 (perf::instructions/2000000) > Ending counts: > Count 0: 946373080 > Count 1: 653373058 The root cause of the bug is that the following commit: 487f05e18a ("perf/core: Optimize event rescheduling on active contexts") erronously assumed that event's 'pinned' setting determines whether the event belongs to a pinned group or not, but in fact, it's the group leader's pinned state that matters. This was discovered by Vince in the test case described above, where two instruction counters are grouped, the group leader is pinned, but the other event is not; in the regressed case the counters were off by 33% (the difference between events' periods), but should be the same within the error margin. Fix the problem by looking at the group leader's pinning.
