2018-03-16perf record: Synthesize features before events in pipe modeJiri Olsa
We need to synthesize events first, because some features works on top of them (on report side).

2018-03-05perf record: Fix crash in pipe modeJiri Olsa
Currently we can crash perf record when running in pipe mode, like: $ perf record ls | perf report # To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options. # perf: Segmentation fault Error: The - file has no samples! The callstack of the crash is: 0x0000000000515242 in perf_event__synthesize_event_update_name 3513 ev = event_update_event__new(len + 1, PERF_EVENT_UPDATE__NAME, evsel->id[0]); (gdb) bt #0 0x0000000000515242 in perf_event__synthesize_event_update_name #1 0x00000000005158a4 in perf_event__synthesize_extra_attr #2 0x0000000000443347 in record__synthesize #3 0x00000000004438e3 in __cmd_record #4 0x000000000044514e in cmd_record #5 0x00000000004cbc95 in run_builtin #6 0x00000000004cbf02 in handle_internal_command #7 0x00000000004cc054 in run_argv #8 0x00000000004cc422 in main The reason of the crash is that the evsel does not have ids array allocated and the pipe's synthesize code tries to access it. We don't force evsel ids allocation when we have single event, because it's not needed. However we need it when we are in pipe mode even for single event as a key for evsel update event. Fixing this by forcing evsel ids allocation event for single event, when we are in pipe mode.

2018-01-08perf record: Record the first and last sample time in the headerJin Yao
In the default 'perf record' configuration, all samples are processed, to create the HEADER_BUILD_ID table. So it's very easy to get the first/last samples and save the time to perf file header via the function write_sample_time(). Later, at post processing time, perf report/script will fetch the time from perf file header. Committer testing: # perf record -a sleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 2.099 MB perf.data (1101 samples) ] [root@jouet home]# perf report --header | grep "time of " # time of first sample : 22947.909226 # time of last sample : 22948.910704 # # perf report -D | grep PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE\( 0 22947909226101 0x20bb68 [0x30]: PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE(IP, 0x4001): 0/0: 0xffffffffa21b1af3 period: 1 addr: 0 0 22947909229928 0x20bb98 [0x30]: PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE(IP, 0x4001): 0/0: 0xffffffffa200d204 period: 1 addr: 0 <SNIP> 3 22948910397351 0x219360 [0x30]: PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE(IP, 0x4001): 28251/28251: 0xffffffffa22071d8 period: 169518 addr: 0 0 22948910652380 0x20f120 [0x30]: PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE(IP, 0x4001): 0/0: 0xffffffffa2856816 period: 198807 addr: 0 2 22948910704034 0x2172d0 [0x30]: PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE(IP, 0x4001): 0/0: 0xffffffffa2856816 period: 88111 addr: 0 # Changelog: v7: Just update the patch description according to Arnaldo's suggestion. v6: Currently '--buildid-all' is not enabled at default. So the walking on all samples is the default operation. There is no big overhead to calculate the timestamp boundary in process_sample_event handler once we already go through all samples. So the timestamp boundary calculation is enabled by default when '--buildid-all' is not enabled. While if '--buildid-all' is enabled, we creates a new option "--timestamp-boundary" for user to decide if it enables the timestamp boundary calculation. v5: There is an issue that the sample walking can only work when '--buildid-all' is not enabled. So we need to let the walking be able to work even if '--buildid-all' is enabled and let the processing skips the dso hit marking for this case. At first, I want to provide a new option "--record-time-boundaries". While after consideration, I think a new option is not very necessary. v3: Remove the definitions of first_sample_time and last_sample_time from struct record and directly save them in perf_evlist.

2017-12-27perf evsel: Enable ignore_missing_thread for pid optionMengting Zhang
While monitoring a multithread process with pid option, perf sometimes may return sys_perf_event_open failure with 3(No such process) if any of the process's threads die before we open the event. However, we want perf continue monitoring the remaining threads and do not exit with error. Here, the patch enables perf_evsel::ignore_missing_thread for -p option to ignore complete failure if any of threads die before we open the event. But it may still return sys_perf_event_open failure with 22(Invalid) if we monitors several event groups. sys_perf_event_open: pid 28960 cpu 40 group_fd 118202 flags 0x8 sys_perf_event_open: pid 28961 cpu 40 group_fd 118203 flags 0x8 WARNING: Ignored open failure for pid 28962 sys_perf_event_open: pid 28962 cpu 40 group_fd [118203] flags 0x8 sys_perf_event_open failed, error -22 That is because when we ignore a missing thread, we change the thread_idx without dealing with its fds, FD(evsel, cpu, thread). Then get_group_fd() may return a wrong group_fd for the next thread and sys_perf_event_open() return with 22. sys_perf_event_open(){ ... if (group_fd != -1) perf_fget_light()//to get corresponding group_leader by group_fd ... if (group_leader) if (group_leader->ctx->task != ctx->task)//should on the same task goto err_context ... } This patch also fixes this bug by introducing perf_evsel__remove_fd() and update_fds to allow removing fds for the missing thread. Changes since v1: - Change group_fd__remove() into a more genetic way without changing code logic - Remove redundant condition Changes since v2: - Use a proper function name and add some comment. - Multiline comment style fixes. Committer testing: Before this patch the recently added 'perf stat --per-thread' for system wide counting would race while enumerating all threads using /proc: [root@jouet ~]# perf stat --per-thread failed to parse CPUs map: No such file or directory Usage: perf stat [<options>] [<command>] -C, --cpu <cpu> list of cpus to monitor in system-wide -a, --all-cpus system-wide collection from all CPUs [root@jouet ~]# perf stat --per-thread failed to parse CPUs map: No such file or directory Usage: perf stat [<options>] [<command>] -C, --cpu <cpu> list of cpus to monitor in system-wide -a, --all-cpus system-wide collection from all CPUs [root@jouet ~]# When, say, the kernel was being built, so lots of shortlived threads, after this patch this doesn't happen.

2017-11-13perf record: Generate PERF_RECORD_{MMAP,COMM,EXEC} with --delayArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
When we use an initial delay, e.g.: 'perf record --delay 1000', we do not enable the events until that delay has passed after we started the workload, including the tracking event, i.e. the one for which we have attr.mmap, etc, enabled to ask the kernel to generate the PERF_RECORD_{MMAP,COMM,EXEC} metadata events that will then allow us to resolve addresses in samples to the map, dso and symbol. There will be a shadow that even synthesizing samples won't cover, i.e. the workload that we start and other processes forking while we wait for the initial delay to expire. So use a dummy event to be the tracking one and make it be enabled on exec.

2017-11-02License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

2017-10-03perf top: Implement multithreading for perf_event__synthesize_threadsKan Liang
The proc files which is sorted with alphabetical order are evenly assigned to several synthesize threads to be processed in parallel. For 'perf top', the threads number hard code to online CPU number. The following patch will introduce an option to set it. For other perf tools, the thread number is 1. Because the process function is not ready for multithreading, e.g. process_synthesized_event. This patch series only support event synthesize multithreading for 'perf top'. For other tools, it can be done separately later. With multithread applied, the total processing time can get up to 1.56x speedup on Knights Mill for 'perf top'. For specific single event processing, the processing time could increase because of the lock contention. So proc_map_timeout may need to be increased. Otherwise some proc maps will be truncated. Based on my test, increasing the proc_map_timeout has small impact on the total processing time. The total processing time still get 1.49x speedup on Knights Mill after increasing the proc_map_timeout. The patch itself doesn't increase the proc_map_timeout. Doesn't need to implement multithreading for per task monitoring, perf_event__synthesize_thread_map. It doesn't have performance issue.

2017-03-14perf record: Synthesize namespace events for current processesHari Bathini
Synthesize PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES events for processes that were running prior to invocation of perf record. The data for this is taken from /proc/$PID/ns. These changes make way for analyzing events with regard to namespaces. Committer notes: Check if 'tool' is NULL in perf_event__synthesize_namespaces(), as in the test__mmap_thread_lookup case, i.e. 'perf test Lookup mmap thread".

Introduce a new option to record PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES events emitted by the kernel when fork, clone, setns or unshare are invoked. And update perf-record documentation with the new option to record namespace events. Committer notes: Combined it with a later patch to allow printing it via 'perf report -D' and be able to test the feature introduced in this patch. Had to move here also perf_ns__name(), that was introduced in another later patch.
