2016-06-07perf unwind: Move unwind__prepare_access from thread_new into thread__insert_mapHe Kuang
To determine the libunwind methods to use, we should get the 32bit/64bit information from maps of a thread. When a thread is newly created, the information is not prepared. This patch moves unwind__prepare_access() into thread__insert_map() so we can get the information we need from maps. Meanwhile, let thread__insert_map() return value and show messages on error.

2016-06-07perf unwind: Introduce 'struct unwind_libunwind_ops' for local unwindHe Kuang
Currently, libunwind operations are fixed, and they are chosen according to the host architecture. This will lead to a problem that if a thread is run as x86_32 on a x86_64 machine, perf will use libunwind methods for x86_64 to parse the callchain and get wrong results. This patch changes the fixed methods of libunwind operations to be thread/map related, and each thread can have individual libunwind operations. Local libunwind methods are registered as default value.

2016-06-07perf unwind: Decouple thread->address_space on libunwindHe Kuang
Currently, the type of thread->addr_space is unw_addr_space_t, which is a pointer defined in libunwind headers. For local libunwind, we can simple include "libunwind.h", but for remote libunwind, the header file is depends on the target libunwind platform. This patch uses 'void *' instead to decouple the dependence on libunwind.

2014-10-29perf tools: Add facility to export data in database-friendly wayAdrian Hunter
This patch introduces an abstraction for exporting sample data in a database-friendly way. The abstraction does not implement the actual output. A subsequent patch takes this facility into use for extending the script interface. The abstraction is needed because static data like symbols, dsos, comms etc need to be exported only once. That means allocating them a unique identifier and recording it on each structure. The member 'db_id' is used for that. 'db_id' is just a 64-bit sequence number. Exporting centres around the db_export__sample() function which exports the associated data structures if they have not yet been allocated a db_id.

Moving towards sharing map groups within a process threads. Because of this we need the map groups to be dynamically allocated. No other functional change is intended in here. Based on a patch by Jiri Olsa, but this time _just_ making the conversion from statically allocating thread->mg to turning it into a pointer and instead of initializing it at thread's constructor, introduce a constructor/destructor for the map_groups class and call at thread creation time. Later we will introduce the get/put methods when we move to sharing those map_groups, when the get/put refcounting semantics will be needed.

As a result we should have more precise COMM sorted hists with seperated entries for pre and post exec time after a fork. 2) It also makes sure that a given COMM string is not duplicated but rather shared among the threads that refer to it.

2013-08-26perf tools: Sample after exit loses thread correlationDavid Ahern
Occassionally events (e.g., context-switch, sched tracepoints) are losing the conversion of sample data associated with a thread. For example: $ perf record -e sched:sched_switch -c 1 -a -- sleep 5 $ perf script <selected events shown> ls 30482 [000] 1379727.583037: sched:sched_switch: prev_comm=ls prev_pid=30482 ... ls 30482 [000] 1379727.586339: sched:sched_switch: prev_comm=ls prev_pid=30482 ... :30482 30482 [000] 1379727.589462: sched:sched_switch: prev_comm=ls prev_pid=30482 ... The last line lost the conversion from tid to comm. If you look at the events (perf script -D) you see why - a SAMPLE event is generated after the EXIT: 0 1379727589449774 0x1540b0 [0x38]: PERF_RECORD_EXIT(30482:30482):(30482:30482) 0 1379727589462497 0x1540e8 [0x80]: PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE(IP, 1): 30482/30482: 0xffffffff816416f1 period: 1 addr: 0 ... thread: :30482:30482 When perf processes the EXIT event the thread is moved to the dead_threads list. When the SAMPLE event is processed no thread exists for the pid so a new one is created by machine__findnew_thread. This patch address the problem by delaying the move to the dead_threads list until the tid is re-used (per Adrian's suggestion). With this patch we get the previous example shows: ls 30482 [000] 1379727.583037: sched:sched_switch: prev_comm=ls prev_pid=30482 ... ls 30482 [000] 1379727.586339: sched:sched_switch: prev_comm=ls prev_pid=30482 ... ls 30482 [000] 1379727.589462: sched:sched_switch: prev_comm=ls prev_pid=30482 ... and 0 1379727589449774 0x1540b0 [0x38]: PERF_RECORD_EXIT(30482:30482):(30482:30482) 0 1379727589462497 0x1540e8 [0x80]: PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE(IP, 1): 30482/30482: 0xffffffff816416f1 period: 1 addr: 0 ... thread: ls:30482 v4: per Arnaldo's request add dead flag to thread struct and set when task exits v3: re-do from a time based check to a delayed move to dead_threads list v2: Rebased to latest perf/core branch.

2013-08-07perf symbols: Load kernel maps before usingAdrian Hunter
In order to use kernel maps to read object code, those maps must be adjusted to map to the dso file offset. Because lazy-initialization is used, that is not done until symbols are loaded. However the maps are first used by thread__find_addr_map() before symbols are loaded. So this patch changes thread__find_addr() to "load" kernel maps before using them.

For long running sessions with many threads with short lifetimes the amount of memory that the buildid process takes is too much. Since we don't have hist_entries that may be pointing to them, we can just release the resources associated with each thread when the exit (PERF_RECORD_EXIT) event is received. For normal processing we need to annotate maps with hits, and thus hist_entries pointing to it and drop the ones that had none. Will be done in a followup patch. Cc: David S.

of thread-wide Parameter --pid (or -p) of perf currently means a thread-wide collection. For exmaple, if a process whose id is 8888 has 10 threads, 'perf top -p 8888' just collects the main thread statistics. That's misleading. Users are used to attach a whole process when debugging a process by gdb. To follow normal usage style, the patch change --pid to process-wide collection and add --tid (-t) to mean a thread-wide collection. Usage example is: # perf top -p 8888 # perf record -p 8888 -f sleep 10 # perf stat -p 8888 -f sleep 10 Above commands collect the statistics of all threads of process 8888.

This reduces the complexity for the users as the number of parameters to most of the symbols and session APIs now was reduced while not adding more state to all the map instances by only having data that is needed to split the kernel (kallsyms and ELF symtab sections) maps and do vmlinux relocation on the main kernel map.

We were always looking at the running machine /proc/modules, even when processing a perf.data file, which only makes sense when we're doing 'perf record' and 'perf report' on the same machine, and in close sucession, or if we don't use modules at all, right Peter? ;-) Now, at 'perf record' time we read /proc/modules, find the long path for modules, and put them as PERF_MMAP events, just like we did to encode the reloc reference symbol for vmlinux. Talking about that now it is encoded in .pgoff, so that we can use .{start,len} to store the address boundaries for the kernel so that when we reconstruct the kmaps tree we can do lookups right away, without having to fixup the end of the kernel maps like we did in the past (and now only in perf record). One more step in the 'perf archive' direction when we'll finally be able to collect data in one machine and analyse in another.

There is still some more work to do to disentangle map creation from DSO loading, but this happens only for the kernel, and for the early adopters of perf diff, where this disentanglement matters most, we'll be testing different kernels, so no problem here. Further clarification: right now we create the kernel maps for the various modules and discontiguous kernel text maps when loading the DSO, we should do it as a two step process, first creating the maps, for multiple mappings with the same DSO store, then doing the dso load just once, for the first hit on one of the maps sharing this DSO backing store.
