2019-05-16perf stat: Support 'percore' event qualifierJin Yao
With this patch, we can use the 'percore' event qualifier in perf-stat. root@skl:/tmp# perf stat -e cpu/event=0,umask=0x3,percore=1/,cpu/event=0,umask=0x3/ -a -A -I1000 1.000773050 S0-C0 98,352,832 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3,percore=1/ (50.01%) 1.000773050 S0-C1 103,763,057 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3,percore=1/ (50.02%) 1.000773050 S0-C2 196,776,995 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3,percore=1/ (50.02%) 1.000773050 S0-C3 176,493,779 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3,percore=1/ (50.02%) 1.000773050 CPU0 47,699,641 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3/ (50.02%) 1.000773050 CPU1 49,052,451 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3/ (49.98%) 1.000773050 CPU2 102,771,422 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3/ (49.98%) 1.000773050 CPU3 100,784,662 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3/ (49.98%) 1.000773050 CPU4 43,171,342 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3/ (49.98%) 1.000773050 CPU5 54,152,158 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3/ (49.98%) 1.000773050 CPU6 93,618,410 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3/ (49.98%) 1.000773050 CPU7 74,477,589 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3/ (49.99%) In this example, we count the event 'ref-cycles' per-core and per-CPU in one perf stat command-line.

2019-05-16perf tools: Add a 'percore' event qualifierJin Yao
Add a 'percore' event qualifier, like cpu/event=0,umask=0x3,percore=1/, that sums up the event counts for both hardware threads in a core. We can already do this with --per-core, but it's often useful to do this together with other metrics that are collected per hardware thread. So we need to support this per-core counting on a event level. This can be implemented in only the user tool, no kernel support needed. v4: --- 1. Add Arnaldo's patch which updates the documentation for this new qualifier. 2. Rebase to latest perf/core branch v3: --- Simplify the code according to Jiri's comments. Before: "return term->val.percore ? true : false;" Now: "return term->val.percore;" v2: --- Change the qualifier name from 'coresum' to 'percore' according to comments from Jiri and Andi.

2019-05-16perf docs: Add description for stderrThomas Richter
'perf report' displays recorded data on the screen and emits warnings and debug messages in the status line (last one on screen). perf also supports the possibility to write all debug messages to stderr (instead of writing them to the status line). This is achieved with the following command: # ./perf --debug stderr=1 report -vvvvv -i ~/fast.data 2>/tmp/2 # ll /tmp/2 -rw-rw-r-- 1 tmricht tmricht 5420835 May 7 13:46 /tmp/2 # The usage of variable stderr=1 is not documented, so add it to the perf man page.

2019-04-01perf record: Implement --mmap-flush=<number> optionAlexey Budankov
Implement a --mmap-flush option that specifies minimal number of bytes that is extracted from mmaped kernel buffer to store into a trace. The default option value is 1 byte what means every time trace writing thread finds some new data in the mmaped buffer the data is extracted, possibly compressed and written to a trace. $ tools/perf/perf record --mmap-flush 1024 -e cycles -- matrix.gcc $ tools/perf/perf record --aio --mmap-flush 1K -e cycles -- matrix.gcc The option is independent from -z setting, doesn't vary with compression level and can serve two purposes. The first purpose is to increase the compression ratio of a trace data. Larger data chunks are compressed more effectively so the implemented option allows specifying data chunk size to compress. Also at some cases executing more write syscalls with smaller data size can take longer than executing less write syscalls with bigger data size due to syscall overhead so extracting bigger data chunks specified by the option value could additionally decrease runtime overhead. The second purpose is to avoid self monitoring live-lock issue in system wide (-a) profiling mode. Profiling in system wide mode with compression (-a -z) can additionally induce data into the kernel buffers along with the data from monitored processes. If performance data rate and volume from the monitored processes is high then trace streaming and compression activity in the tool is also high. High tool process activity can lead to subtle live-lock effect when compression of single new byte from some of mmaped kernel buffer leads to generation of the next single byte at some mmaped buffer. So perf tool process ends up in endless self monitoring. Implemented synch parameter is the mean to force data move independently from the specified flush threshold value. Despite the provided flush value the tool needs capability to unconditionally drain memory buffers, at least in the end of the collection. Committer testing: Running with the default value, i.e. as soon as there is something to read go on consuming, we first write the synthesized events, small chunks of about 128 bytes: # perf trace -m 2048 --call-graph dwarf -e write -- perf record <SNIP> 101.142 ( 0.004 ms): perf/25821 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x210db60, count: 120) = 120 __libc_write (/usr/lib64/libpthread-2.28.so) ion (/home/acme/bin/perf) record__write (inlined) process_synthesized_event (/home/acme/bin/perf) perf_tool__process_synth_event (inlined) perf_event__synthesize_mmap_events (/home/acme/bin/perf) Then we move to reading the mmap buffers consuming the events put there by the kernel perf infrastructure: 107.561 ( 0.005 ms): perf/25821 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7f1befc02000, count: 336) = 336 __libc_write (/usr/lib64/libpthread-2.28.so) ion (/home/acme/bin/perf) record__write (inlined) record__pushfn (/home/acme/bin/perf) perf_mmap__push (/home/acme/bin/perf) record__mmap_read_evlist (inlined) record__mmap_read_all (inlined) __cmd_record (inlined) cmd_record (/home/acme/bin/perf) 12919.953 ( 0.136 ms): perf/25821 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7f1befc83150, count: 184984) = 184984 <SNIP same backtrace as in the 107.561 timestamp> 12920.094 ( 0.155 ms): perf/25821 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7f1befc02150, count: 261816) = 261816 <SNIP same backtrace as in the 107.561 timestamp> 12920.253 ( 0.093 ms): perf/25821 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7f1befb81120, count: 170832) = 170832 <SNIP same backtrace as in the 107.561 timestamp> If we limit it to write only when more than 16MB are available for reading, it throttles that to a quarter of the --mmap-pages set for 'perf record', which by default get to 528384 bytes, found out using 'record -v': mmap flush: 132096 mmap size 528384B With that in place all the writes coming from record__mmap_read_evlist(), i.e. from the mmap buffers setup by the kernel perf infrastructure were at least 132096 bytes long.

2019-03-19perf stat: Fix --no-scaleAndi Kleen
The -c option to enable multiplex scaling has been useless for quite some time because scaling is default. It's only useful as --no-scale to disable scaling. But the non scaling code path has bitrotted and doesn't print anything because perf output code relies on value run/ena information. Also even when we don't want to scale a value it's still useful to show its multiplex percentage. This patch: - Fixes help and documentation to show --no-scale instead of -c - Removes -c, only keeps the long option because -c doesn't support negatives. - Enables running/enabled even with --no-scale - And fixes some other problems in the no-scale output.

2019-03-11perf report: Implement browsing of individual samplesAndi Kleen
Now 'perf report' can show whole time periods with 'perf script', but the user still has to find individual samples of interest manually. It would be expensive and complicated to search for the right samples in the whole perf file. Typically users only need to look at a small number of samples for useful analysis. Also the full scripts tend to show samples of all CPUs and all threads mixed up, which can be very confusing on larger systems. Add a new --samples option to save a small random number of samples per hist entry. Use a reservoir sample technique to select a representatve number of samples. Then allow browsing the samples using 'perf script' as part of the hist entry context menu. This automatically adds the right filters, so only the thread or cpu of the sample is displayed. Then we use less' search functionality to directly jump the to the time stamp of the selected sample. It uses different menus for assembler and source display. Assembler needs xed installed and source needs debuginfo. Currently it only supports as many samples as fit on the screen due to some limitations in the slang ui code.

2019-03-06perf diff: Support --time filter optionJin Yao
To improve 'perf diff', implement a --time filter option to diff the samples within given time window. It supports time percent with multiple time ranges. The time string format is 'a%/n,b%/m,...' or 'a%-b%,c%-%d,...'. For example: Select the second 10% time slice to diff: perf diff --time 10%/2 Select from 0% to 10% time slice to diff: perf diff --time 0%-10% Select the first and the second 10% time slices to diff: perf diff --time 10%/1,10%/2 Select from 0% to 10% and 30% to 40% slices to diff: perf diff --time 0%-10%,30%-40% It also supports analysing samples within a given time window <start>,<stop>. Times have the format seconds.microseconds. If 'start' is not given (i.e., time string is ',x.y') then analysis starts at the beginning of the file. If the stop time is not given (i.e, time string is 'x.y,') then analysis goes to end of file. Time string is 'a1.b1,c1.d1:a2.b2,c2.d2'. Use ':' to separate timestamps for different perf.data files. For example, we get the timestamp information from perf script. perf script -i perf.data.old mgen 13940 [000] 3946.361400: ... perf script -i perf.data mgen 13940 [000] 3971.150589 ... perf diff --time 3946.361400,:3971.150589, It analyzes the perf.data.old from the timestamp 3946.361400 to the end of perf.data.old and analyzes the perf.data from the timestamp 3971.150589 to the end of perf.data. v4: --- Update abstime_str_dup(), let it return error if strdup is failed, and update __cmd_diff() accordingly.

2018-12-18perf trace: Allow selecting use the use of the ordered_events codeArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
I was trigger happy on this one, as using ordered_events as implemented by Jiri for use with the --block code under discussion on lkml incurs in delaying processing to form batches that then get ordered and then printed. With 'perf trace' we want to process the events as they go, without that delay, and doing it that way works well for the common case which is to trace a thread or a workload started by 'perf trace'. So revert back to not using ordered_events but add an option to select that mode so that users can experiment with their particular use case to see if works better, i.e. if the added delay is not a problem and the ordering helps.

The default timeout of 500ms for parsing /proc/<pid>/maps files is too short for profiling many of our services. This can be overridden by passing --proc-map-timeout to the relevant command but it'd be nice to globally increase our default value. This patch permits setting a different default with the core.proc-map-timeout config file parameter.

2018-12-17perf record: Extend trace writing to multi AIOAlexey Budankov
Multi AIO trace writing allows caching more kernel data into userspace memory postponing trace writing for the sake of overall profiling data thruput increase. It could be seen as kernel data buffer extension into userspace memory. With an --aio option value different from 0 (default value is 1) the tool has capability to cache more and more data into user space along with delegating spill to AIO. That allows avoiding to suspend at record__aio_sync() between calls of record__mmap_read_evlist() and increases profiling data thruput at the cost of userspace memory.

The trace file offset is incremented linearly after every successful aio write operation. record__aio_sync() blocks till completion of the started AIO operation and then proceeds. record__aio_mmap_read_sync() implements a barrier for all incomplete aio write requests.

2018-11-21perf bench: Add epoll parallel epoll_wait benchmarkDavidlohr Bueso
This program benchmarks concurrent epoll_wait(2) for file descriptors that are monitored with with EPOLLIN along various semantics, by a single epoll instance. Such conditions can be found when using single/combined or multiple queuing when load balancing. Each thread has a number of private, nonblocking file descriptors, referred to as fdmap. A writer thread will constantly be writing to the fdmaps of all threads, minimizing each threads's chances of epoll_wait not finding any ready read events and blocking as this is not what we want to stress. Full details in the start of the C file.

2018-11-05perf record: Support weak groupsAndi Kleen
Implement a weak group fallback for 'perf record', similar to the existing 'perf stat' support. This allows to use groups that might be longer than the available counters without failing. Before: $ perf record -e '{cycles,cache-misses,cache-references,cpu_clk_unhalted.thread,cycles,cycles,cycles}' -a sleep 1 Error: The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 22 (Invalid argument) for event (cycles). /bin/dmesg | grep -i perf may provide additional information. After: $ ./perf record -e '{cycles,cache-misses,cache-references,cpu_clk_unhalted.thread,cycles,cycles,cycles}:W' -a sleep 1 WARNING: No sample_id_all support, falling back to unordered processing [ perf record: Woken up 3 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 8.136 MB perf.data (134069 samples) ] Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181001195927.14211-2-andi@firstfloor.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
2018-10-31perf top: Do not use overwrite mode by defaultArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Enabling --overwrite mode allows us to to use just the most recent records, which helps in high core count machines such as Knights Landing/Mill, but right now is being disabled by default as the pausing used in this technique is leading to loss of metadata events such as PERF_RECORD_MMAP which makes 'perf top' unable to resolve samples, leading to lots of unknown samples appearing on the UI. Enabling this may be useful if you are in such machines and profiling a workload that doesn't creates short lived threads and/or doesn't uses many executable mmap operations. Work is being planed to solve this situation, till then, this will remain disabled by default.
