2009-07-01perf report: Add --symbols parameterArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
So that we can filter by symbol name. The 'pfunct' utility in the 'dwarves' package can be used to create a file with the functions one wants.

2009-06-26perf report: Print sorted callchains per histogram entriesFrederic Weisbecker
Use the newly created callchains radix tree to gather the chains stats from the recorded events and then print the callchains for all of them, sorted by hits, using the "-c" parameter with perf report.

2009-06-26perf_counter tools: Prepare a small callchain frameworkFrederic Weisbecker
We plan to display the callchains depending on some user-configurable parameters. To gather the callchains stats from the recorded stream in a fast way, this patch introduces an ad hoc radix tree adapted for callchains and also a rbtree to sort these callchains once we have gathered every events from the stream.

2009-06-25perf_counter: Rework the sample ABIPeter Zijlstra
The PERF_EVENT_READ implementation made me realize we don't actually need the sample_type int the output sample, since we already have that in the perf_counter_attr information. Therefore, remove the PERF_EVENT_MISC_OVERFLOW bit and the event->type overloading, and imply put counter overflow samples in a PERF_EVENT_SAMPLE type. This also fixes the issue that event->type was only 32-bit and sample_type had 64 usable bits.

2009-06-23perf_counter tools: Handle overlapping MMAP eventsPeter Zijlstra
Martin Schwidefsky reported "perf report" symbol resolution problems on S390. Since we only report MMAP, not MUNMAP, we have to deal with overlapping maps. We used to simply throw out the old map on the assumption whole maps got unmapped. This obviously doesn't deal with partial unmaps. However it appears some dynamic linkers do fancy partial unmaps (s390), so do something more elaborate and truncate the old maps, only removing them when they've been fully covered. This resolves (part of) the S390 symbol resolution problems.

2009-06-19perf_counter tools: Define and use our own u64, s64 etc. definitionsPaul Mackerras
On 64-bit powerpc, __u64 is defined to be unsigned long rather than unsigned long long. This causes compiler warnings every time we print a __u64 value with %Lx. Rather than changing __u64, we define our own u64 to be unsigned long long on all architectures, and similarly s64 as signed long long. For consistency we also define u32, s32, u16, s16, u8 and s8. These definitions are put in a new header, types.h, because these definitions are needed in util/string.h and util/symbol.h. The main change here is the mechanical change of __[us]{64,32,16,8} to remove the "__". The other changes are: * Create types.h * Include types.h in perf.h, util/string.h and util/symbol.h * Add types.h to the LIB_H definition in Makefile * Added (u64) casts in process_overflow_event() and print_sym_table() to kill two remaining warnings.

2009-06-15perf report: Add per system call overhead histogramIngo Molnar
Take advantage of call-graph percounter sampling/recording to display a non-trivial histogram: the true, collapsed/summarized cost measurement, on a per system call total overhead basis: aldebaran:~/linux/linux/tools/perf> ./perf record -g -a -f ~/hackbench 10 aldebaran:~/linux/linux/tools/perf> ./perf report -s symbol --syscalls | head -10 # # (3536 samples) # # Overhead Symbol # ........ ...... # 40.75% [k] sys_write 40.21% [k] sys_read 4.44% [k] do_nmi ... This is done by accounting each (reliable) call-chain that chains back to a given system call to that system call function. [ So in the above example we can see that hackbench spends about 40% of its total time somewhere in sys_write() and 40% somewhere in sys_read(), the rest of the time is spent in user-space. The time is not spent in sys_write() _itself_ but in one of its many child functions. ] Or, a recording of a (source files are already in the page-cache) kernel build: $ perf record -g -m 512 -f -- make -j32 kernel $ perf report -s s --syscalls | grep '\[k\]' | grep -v nmi 4.14% [k] do_page_fault 1.20% [k] sys_write 1.10% [k] sys_open 0.63% [k] sys_exit_group 0.48% [k] smp_apic_timer_interrupt 0.37% [k] sys_read 0.37% [k] sys_execve 0.20% [k] sys_mmap 0.18% [k] sys_close 0.14% [k] sys_munmap 0.13% [k] sys_poll 0.09% [k] sys_newstat 0.07% [k] sys_clone 0.06% [k] sys_newfstat 0.05% [k] sys_access 0.05% [k] schedule Shows the true total cost of each syscall variant that gets used during a kernel build. This profile reveals it that pagefaults are the costliest, followed by read()/write(). An interesting detail: timer interrupts cost 0.5% - or 0.5 seconds per 100 seconds of kernel build-time. (this was done with HZ=1000) The summary is done in 'perf report', i.e. in the post-processing stage - so once we have a good call-graph recording, this type of non-trivial high-level analysis becomes possible.
