2016-04-01perf bpf: Add sample types for 'bpf-output' eventWang Nan
Before this patch we can see very large time in the events before the 'bpf-output' event. For example: # perf trace -vv -T --ev sched:sched_switch \ --ev bpf-output/no-inherit,name=evt/ \ --ev ./test_bpf_trace.c/map:channel.event=evt/ \ usleep 10 ... 18446744073709.551 (18446564645918.480 ms): usleep/4157 nanosleep(rqtp: 0x7ffd3f0dc4e0) ... 18446744073709.551 ( ): evt:Raise a BPF event!..) 179427791.076 ( ): perf_bpf_probe:func_begin:(ffffffff810eb9a0)) 179427791.081 ( ): sched:sched_switch:usleep:4157 [120] S ==> swapper/2:0 [120]) ... We can also see the differences between bpf-output events and breakpoint events: For bpf output event: sample_type IP|TID|RAW|IDENTIFIER For tracepoint events: sample_type IP|TID|TIME|CPU|PERIOD|RAW|IDENTIFIER This patch fix this differences by adding more sample type for bpf-output events. After this patch: # perf trace -vv -T --ev sched:sched_switch \ --ev bpf-output/no-inherit,name=evt/ \ --ev ./test_bpf_trace.c/map:channel.event=evt/ \ usleep 10 ... 179877370.878 ( 0.003 ms): usleep/5336 nanosleep(rqtp: 0x7ffff866c450) ... 179877370.878 ( ): evt:Raise a BPF event!..) 179877370.878 ( ): perf_bpf_probe:func_begin:(ffffffff810eb9a0)) 179877370.882 ( ): sched:sched_switch:usleep:5336 [120] S ==> swapper/4:0 [120]) 179877370.945 ( ): evt:Raise a BPF event!..) ... # ./perf trace -vv -T --ev sched:sched_switch \ --ev bpf-output/no-inherit,name=evt/ \ --ev ./test_bpf_trace.c/map:channel.event=evt/ \ usleep 10 2>&1 | grep sample_type sample_type IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD|RAW sample_type IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD|RAW sample_type IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD|RAW sample_type IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD|RAW sample_type IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD|RAW sample_type IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD|RAW The 'IDENTIFIER' info is not required because all events have the same sample_type.

2016-02-22perf tools: Introduce bpf-output eventWang Nan
Commit a43eec304259 ("bpf: introduce bpf_perf_event_output() helper") adds a helper to enable a BPF program to output data to a perf ring buffer through a new type of perf event, PERF_COUNT_SW_BPF_OUTPUT. This patch enables perf to create events of that type. Now a perf user can use the following cmdline to receive output data from BPF programs: # perf record -a -e bpf-output/no-inherit,name=evt/ \ -e ./test_bpf_output.c/map:channel.event=evt/ ls / # perf script perf 1560 [004] 347747.086295: evt: ffffffff811fd201 sys_write ... perf 1560 [004] 347747.086300: evt: ffffffff811fd201 sys_write ... perf 1560 [004] 347747.086315: evt: ffffffff811fd201 sys_write ... ...

[The kernel patch needed for this is in tip now (b16a5b52eb9 perf/x86: Add option to disable ...) So this user tools patch to make use of it should be merged now] Automatically disable collecting branch flags and cycles with --call-graph lbr. This allows avoiding a bunch of extra MSR reads in the PMI on Skylake.

2015-10-29perf bpf: Attach eBPF filter to perf eventWang Nan
This is the final patch which makes basic BPF filter work. After applying this patch, users are allowed to use BPF filter like: # perf record --event ./hello_world.o ls A bpf_fd field is appended to 'struct evsel', and setup during the callback function add_bpf_event() for each 'probe_trace_event'. PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_BPF ioctl is used to attach eBPF program to a newly created perf event. The file descriptor of the eBPF program is passed to perf record using previous patches, and stored into evsel->bpf_fd. It is possible that different perf event are created for one kprobe events for different CPUs. In this case, when trying to call the ioctl, EEXIST will be return. This patch doesn't treat it as an error. Committer note: The bpf proggie used so far: __attribute__((section("fork=_do_fork"), used)) int fork(void *ctx) { return 0; } char _license[] __attribute__((section("license"), used)) = "GPL"; int _version __attribute__((section("version"), used)) = 0x40300; failed to produce any samples, even with forks happening and it being running in system wide mode. That is because now the filter is being associated, and the code above always returns zero, meaning that all forks will be probed but filtered away ;-/ Change it to 'return 1;' instead and after that: # trace --no-syscalls --event /tmp/foo.o 0.000 perf_bpf_probe:fork:(ffffffff8109be30)) 2.333 perf_bpf_probe:fork:(ffffffff8109be30)) 3.725 perf_bpf_probe:fork:(ffffffff8109be30)) 4.550 perf_bpf_probe:fork:(ffffffff8109be30)) ^C# And it works with all tools, including 'perf trace'.

2015-10-28perf tools: Enable pre-event inherit setting by config termsWang Nan
This patch allows perf record setting event's attr.inherit bit by config terms like: # perf record -e cycles/no-inherit/ ... # perf record -e cycles/inherit/ ... So user can control inherit bit for each event separately. In following example, a.out fork()s in main then do some complex CPU intensive computations in both of its children. Basic result with and without inherit: # perf record -e cycles -e instructions ./a.out [ perf record: Woken up 9 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 2.205 MB perf.data (47920 samples) ] #

2015-08-31perf record: Add ability to name registers to recordStephane Eranian
This patch modifies the -I/--int-regs option to enablepassing the name of the registers to sample on interrupt. Registers can be specified by their symbolic names. For instance on x86, --intr-regs=ax,si. The motivation is to reduce the size of the perf.data file and the overhead of sampling by only collecting the registers useful to a specific analysis. For instance, for value profiling, sampling only the registers used to passed arguements to functions. With no parameter, the --intr-regs still records all possible registers based on the architecture. To name registers, it is necessary to use the long form of the option, i.e., --intr-regs: $ perf record --intr-regs=si,di,r8,r9 ..... To record any possible registers: $ perf record -I ..... $ perf report --intr-regs ... To display the register, one can use perf report -D To list the available registers: $ perf record --intr-regs=\? available registers: AX BX CX DX SI DI BP SP IP FLAGS CS SS R8 R9 R10 R11 R12 R13 R14 R15 Signed-off-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Kan Liang <kan.liang@intel.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1441039273-16260-4-git-send-email-eranian@google.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

This patchkit adds the ability to turn off time stamps per event. One usaful case for partial time is to work with per-event callgraph to enable "PEBS threshold > 1" (https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/5/10/196), which can significantly reduce the sampling overhead. The event samples with time stamps off will not be ordered.

2015-07-29perf tools: Force period term to overload global settingsJiri Olsa
Currently the command line option settings beats the per event period settings: With no global settings, we get per-event configuration: $ perf record -e 'cpu/instructions,period=20000/' sleep 1 $ perf evlist -v ... { sample_period, sample_freq }: 20000 ... With 'c' option period setup, we get 'c' option value: $ perf record -e 'cpu/instructions,period=20000/' -c 1000 sleep 1 $ perf evlist -v ... { sample_period, sample_freq }: 1000 ... This patch makes the per-event settings overload the global 'c' option setup: $ perf record -e 'cpu/instructions,period=20000/' -c 1000 sleep 1 $ perf evlist -v ... { sample_period, sample_freq }: 20000 ... I think the making the per-event settings to overload any other config makes more sense than current state. However it breaks the current 'period' term handling, which might cause some noise.. so let's see ;-). Also fixing parse event tests with the new behaviour.

Support processing of PERF_RECORD_SWITCH events and PERF_RECORD_SWITCH_CPU_WIDE events. There is a single tools callback for them both so that the tool must check the event type before using the extra members in PERF_RECORD_SWITCH_CPU_WIDE. There is still no way to select the events, though. That is added in a subsequest patch.

2015-07-20perf record: Apply filter to all events in a glob matchingWang Nan
There is an old problem in perf's filter applying which first posted at Sep. 2014 at https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/9/9/944 that, if passing multiple events in a glob matching expression in cmdline then add '--filter' after them, the filter will be applied on only the last one. For example: # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null & [1] 464 # perf record -a -e 'syscalls:sys_*_read' --filter 'common_pid != 464' sleep 0.1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.239 MB perf.data (2094 samples) ] # perf report --stdio | tee ... # Samples: 2K of event 'syscalls:sys_enter_read' # Event count (approx.): 2092 ... # Samples: 2 of event 'syscalls:sys_exit_read' # Event count (approx.): 2 ... In this example, filter only applied on 'syscalls:sys_exit_read', and there's no way to set filter for ''syscalls:sys_enter_read'. This patch adds a 'cmdline_group_boundary' for 'struct evsel', and apply filter on all events between two boundary marks. After applying this patch: # perf record -a -e 'syscalls:sys_*_read' --filter 'common_pid != 464' sleep 0.1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.031 MB perf.data (3 samples) ] # perf report --stdio | tee ... # Samples: 1 of event 'syscalls:sys_enter_read' # Event count (approx.): 1 ... # Samples: 2 of event 'syscalls:sys_exit_read' # Event count (approx.): 2 ...

If the option -T is used with option --per-thread, then time is still not sampled. Fix that by using OPT_BOOLEAN_SET to distinguish when the user used the -T option as opposed to the default case when timestamps are enabled but only for per-cpu recording.

2015-07-06perf evsel: Rename set_filter to apply_filterArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
We need to be able to go on constructing a complex filter in multiple stages, since we can only set one filter per event. For instance, we need to be able, in 'perf trace' to filter by the 'common_pid' field all the time, if only for the tracer itself, to avoid a feedback loop, and, in addition, we may want to filter the raw_syscalls:sys_{enter,exit} events by its 'id' filter, when using 'perf trace -e open,close' or 'perf trace -e !open,close', i.e. when we are interested in just a subset of syscalls or when we are not interested in it. So we will have: perf_evsel__set_filter(evsel, char *filter) Replaces whatever is in evsel->filter. perf_evsel__append_filter(evsel, const char *op, char *filter) Appends, using op ("&&" or "||") with what is in evsel->filter. perf_evsel__apply_filter(evsel, filter): That actually applies a filter, be it the one being constructed in evsel->filter, or any other, for tools with more specific ways to build the filter, issuing the appropriate ioctl for all the evsel fds. The same changes will be made to the evlist__{set,apply} variants to keep everything consistent.
