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.

2018-10-30perf top: Allow disabling the overwrite modeArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
In ebebbf082357 ("perf top: Switch default mode to overwrite mode") we forgot to leave a way to disable that new default, add a --overwrite option that can be disabled using --no-overwrite, since the code already in such a way that we can readily disable this mode. This is useful when investigating bugs with this mode like the recent report from David Miller where lots of unknown symbols appear due to disabling the events while processing them which disables all record types, not just PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE, which makes it impossible to resolve maps when we lose PERF_RECORD_MMAP records. This can be easily seen while building a kernel, when there are lots of short lived processes.

2018-10-24perf script: Make itrace script default to all callsAndi Kleen
By default 'perf script' for itrace outputs sampled instructions or branches. In my experience this is confusing to users because it's hard to correlate with real program behavior. The sampling makes sense for tools like 'perf report' that actually sample to reduce the run time, but run time is normally not a problem for 'perf script'. It's better to give an accurate representation of the program flow. Default 'perf script' to output all calls for itrace. That's a much saner default. The old behavior can be still requested with 'perf script' --itrace=ibxwpe100000 v2: Fix ETM build failure v3: Really fix ETM build failure (Kim Phillips) Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Kim Phillips <kim.phillips@arm.com> Cc: Leo Yan <leo.yan@linaro.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180920180540.14039-3-andi@firstfloor.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

Examples included in the documentation: Trace the first 4 open, openat or open_by_handle_at syscalls (in the future more syscalls may match here): $ perf trace -e open* --max-events 4 [root@jouet perf]# trace -e open* --max-events 4 2272.992 ( 0.037 ms): gnome-shell/1370 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: /proc/self/stat) = 31 2277.481 ( 0.139 ms): gnome-shell/3039 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: /proc/self/stat) = 65 3026.398 ( 0.076 ms): gnome-shell/3039 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: /proc/self/stat) = 65 4294.665 ( 0.015 ms): sed/15879 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: /etc/ld.so.cache, flags: CLOEXEC) = 3 $ Trace the first minor page fault when running a workload: # perf trace -F min --max-stack=7 --max-events 1 sleep 1 0.000 ( 0.000 ms): sleep/18006 minfault [__clear_user+0x1a] => 0x5626efa56080 (?k) __clear_user ([kernel.kallsyms]) load_elf_binary ([kernel.kallsyms]) search_binary_handler ([kernel.kallsyms]) __do_execve_file.isra.33 ([kernel.kallsyms]) __x64_sys_execve ([kernel.kallsyms]) do_syscall_64 ([kernel.kallsyms]) entry_SYSCALL_64 ([kernel.kallsyms]) # Trace the next min page page fault to take place on the first CPU: # perf trace -F min --call-graph=dwarf --max-events 1 --cpu 0 0.000 ( 0.000 ms): Web Content/17136 minfault [js::gc::Chunk::fetchNextDecommittedArena+0x4b] => 0x7fbe6181b000 (?.) js::gc::FreeSpan::initAsEmpty (inlined) js::gc::Arena::setAsNotAllocated (inlined) js::gc::Chunk::fetchNextDecommittedArena (/usr/lib64/firefox/libxul.so) js::gc::Chunk::allocateArena (/usr/lib64/firefox/libxul.so) js::gc::GCRuntime::allocateArena (/usr/lib64/firefox/libxul.so) js::gc::ArenaLists::allocateFromArena (/usr/lib64/firefox/libxul.so) js::gc::GCRuntime::tryNewTenuredThing<JSString, (js::AllowGC)1> (inlined) js::AllocateString<JSString, (js::AllowGC)1> (/usr/lib64/firefox/libxul.so) js::Allocate<JSThinInlineString, (js::AllowGC)1> (inlined) JSThinInlineString::new_<(js::AllowGC)1> (inlined) AllocateInlineString<(js::AllowGC)1, unsigned char> (inlined) js::ConcatStrings<(js::AllowGC)1> (/usr/lib64/firefox/libxul.so) [0x18b26e6bc2bd] (/tmp/perf-17136.map) Tracing the next four ext4 operations on a specific CPU: # perf trace -e ext4:*/call-graph=fp/ --max-events 4 --cpu 3 0.000 mutt/3849 ext4:ext4_es_lookup_extent_enter:dev 253,2 ino 57277 lblk 0 ext4_es_lookup_extent ([kernel.kallsyms]) read (/usr/lib64/libc-2.26.so) 0.097 mutt/3849 ext4:ext4_es_lookup_extent_exit:dev 253,2 ino 57277 found 0 [0/0) 0 ext4_es_lookup_extent ([kernel.kallsyms]) read (/usr/lib64/libc-2.26.so) 0.141 mutt/3849 ext4:ext4_ext_map_blocks_enter:dev 253,2 ino 57277 lblk 0 len 1 flags ext4_ext_map_blocks ([kernel.kallsyms]) read (/usr/lib64/libc-2.26.so) 0.184 mutt/3849 ext4:ext4_ext_load_extent:dev 253,2 ino 57277 lblk 1516511 pblk 18446744071750013657 __read_extent_tree_block ([kernel.kallsyms]) __read_extent_tree_block ([kernel.kallsyms]) ext4_find_extent ([kernel.kallsyms]) ext4_ext_map_blocks ([kernel.kallsyms]) ext4_map_blocks ([kernel.kallsyms]) ext4_mpage_readpages ([kernel.kallsyms]) read_pages ([kernel.kallsyms]) __do_page_cache_readahead ([kernel.kallsyms]) ondemand_readahead ([kernel.kallsyms]) generic_file_read_iter ([kernel.kallsyms]) __vfs_read ([kernel.kallsyms]) vfs_read ([kernel.kallsyms]) ksys_read ([kernel.kallsyms]) do_syscall_64 ([kernel.kallsyms]) entry_SYSCALL_64 ([kernel.kallsyms]) read (/usr/lib64/libc-2.26.so) # Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Milian Wolff <milian.wolff@kdab.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Rudá Moura <ruda.moura@gmail.com> Cc: Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com> Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-sweh107bs7ol5bzls0m4tqdz@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

2018-04-26perf Documentation: Support for asciidoctorTakashi Iwai
The asciidoc package seems behind the recent big wave of python3 conversion, and we were advised to switch to asciidoctor instead. It's almost compatible but some extensions used for perf documentation don't work with it. Here is the patch to cover them, and add the proper support for asciidoctor. Pass USE_ASCIIDOCTOR=yes to make for using asciidoctor instead of asciidoc. The man source and manual attributes are passed via command options. The support for these attributes have been fixed in the latest asciidoctor code. Since asciidoctor can covert to a man page and an HTML directly, we can omit the dependency on xmlto when USE_ASCIIDOCTOR is set.

2018-04-12perf stat: Enable 1ms interval for printing event counters valuesAlexey Budankov
Currently print count interval for performance counters values is limited by 10ms so reading the values at frequencies higher than 100Hz is restricted by the tool. This change makes perf stat -I possible on frequencies up to 1KHz and, to some extent, makes perf stat -I to be on-par with perf record sampling profiling. When running perf stat -I for monitoring e.g. PCIe uncore counters and at the same time profiling some I/O workload by perf record e.g. for cpu-cycles and context switches, it is then possible to observe consolidated CPU/OS/IO(Uncore) performance picture for that workload. Tool overhead warning printed when specifying -v option can be missed due to screen scrolling in case you have output to the console so message is moved into help available by running perf stat -h.

2018-03-08perf pmu: Support wildcards on pmu name in dynamic pmu eventsAgustin Vega-Frias
Starting on v4.12 event parsing code for dynamic pmu events already supports prefix-based matching of multiple pmus when creating dynamic events. E.g., in a system with the following dynamic pmus: mypmu_0 mypmu_1 mypmu_2 mypmu_4 passing mypmu/<config>/ as an event spec will result in the creation of the event in all of the pmus. This change expands this matching through the use of fnmatch so glob-like expressions can be used to create events in multiple pmus. E.g., in the system described above if a user only wants to create the event in mypmu_0 and mypmu_1, mypmu_[01]/<config>/ can be passed.
