2013-11-14Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.linaro.org/people/rmk/linux-armLinus Torvalds
Pull ARM updates from Russell King: "Included in this series are: 1. BE8 (modern big endian) changes for ARM from Ben Dooks 2. big.Little support from Nicolas Pitre and Dave Martin 3. support for LPAE systems with all system memory above 4GB 4. Perf updates from Will Deacon 5. Additional prefetching and other performance improvements from Will. 6. Neon-optimised AES implementation fro Ard. 7. A number of smaller fixes scattered around the place. There is a rather horrid merge conflict in tools/perf - I was never notified of the conflict because it originally occurred between Will's tree and other stuff. Consequently I have a resolution which Will forwarded me, which I'll forward on immediately after sending this mail. The other notable thing is I'm expecting some build breakage in the crypto stuff on ARM only with Ard's AES patches. These were merged into a stable git branch which others had already pulled, so there's little I can do about this. The problem is caused because these patches have a dependency on some code in the crypto git tree - I tried requesting a branch I can pull to resolve these, and all I got each time from the crypto people was "we'll revert our patches then" which would only make things worse since I still don't have the dependent patches. I've no idea what's going on there or how to resolve that, and since I can't split these patches from the rest of this pull request, I'm rather stuck with pushing this as-is or reverting Ard's patches. Since it should "come out in the wash" I've left them in - the only build problems they seem to cause at the moment are with randconfigs, and since it's a new feature anyway. However, if by -rc1 the dependencies aren't in, I think it'd be best to revert Ard's patches" I resolved the perf conflict roughly as per the patch sent by Russell, but there may be some differences. Any errors are likely mine.

2013-11-12perf evlist: Round mmap pages to power 2 - v2David Ahern
Currently perf requires the -m / --mmap_pages option to be a power of 2. To be more user friendly perf should automatically round this up to the next power of 2. Currently: $ perf record -m 3 -a -- sleep 1 --mmap_pages/-m value must be a power of two.sleep: Terminated With patch: $ perf record -m 3 -a -- sleep 1 rounding mmap pages size to 16384 (4 pages) ... v2: Add bytes units to rounding message per Ingo's request. Other suggestions (e.g., prefixing INFO) should be addressed by wrapping pr_info to catch all instances.

2013-11-11perf record: Synthesize non-exec MMAP records when --data usedArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
When perf_event_attr.mmap_data is set the kernel will generate PERF_RECORD_MMAP events when non-exec (data, SysV mem) mmaps are created, so we need to synthesize from /proc/pid/maps for existing threads, as we do for exec mmaps. Right now just 'perf record' does it, but any other tool that uses perf_event__synthesize_thread(s|map) can request it.

2013-11-11perf evsel: Remove idx parm from constructorArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Most uses of the evsel constructor are followed by a call to perf_evlist__add with an idex of evlist->nr_entries, so make rename the current constructor to perf_evsel__new_idx and remove the need for passing the constructor for the common case. We still need the new_idx variant because the way groups are handled, with evsel->nr_members holding the number of entries in an evlist, partitioning the evlist into sublists inside a single linked list. This asks for a clarifying refactoring, but for now simplify the non parser cases, so that tool writers don't have to bother with evsel idx setting.

2013-11-04perf tools: Add new COMM infrastructureFrederic Weisbecker
This new COMM infrastructure provides two features: 1) It keeps track of all comms lifecycle for a given thread. This way we can associate a timeframe to any thread COMM, as long as PERF_SAMPLE_TIME samples are joined to COMM and fork events. 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. This way the threads COMM can be compared against pointer values from the sort infrastructure.

2013-10-24perf script python: Fix mem leak due to missing Py_DECREFs on dict entriesJoseph Schuchart
We are using the Python scripting interface in perf to extract kernel events relevant for performance analysis of HPC codes. We noticed that the "perf script" call allocates a significant amount of memory (in the order of several 100 MiB) during it's run, e.g. 125 MiB for a 25 MiB input file: $> perf record -o perf.data -a -R -g fp \ -e power:cpu_frequency -e sched:sched_switch \ -e sched:sched_migrate_task -e sched:sched_process_exit \ -e sched:sched_process_fork -e sched:sched_process_exec \ -e cycles -m 4096 --freq 4000 $> /usr/bin/time perf script -i perf.data -s dummy_script.py 0.84user 0.13system 0:01.92elapsed 51%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 125532maxresident)k 73072inputs+0outputs (57major+33086minor)pagefaults 0swaps Upon further investigation using the valgrind massif tool, we noticed that Python objects that are created in trace-event-python.c via PyString_FromString*() (and their Integer and Long counterparts) are never free'd. The reason for this seem to be missing Py_DECREF calls on the objects that are returned by these functions and stored in the Python dictionaries. The Python dictionaries do not steal references (as opposed to Python tuples and lists) but instead add their own reference. Hence, the reference that is returned by these object creation functions is never released and the memory is leaked. (see [1,2]) The attached patch fixes this by wrapping all relevant calls to PyDict_SetItemString() and decrementing the reference counter immediately after the Python function call. This reduces the allocated memory to a reasonable amount: $> /usr/bin/time perf script -i perf.data -s dummy_script.py 0.73user 0.05system 0:00.79elapsed 99%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 49132maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (0major+14045minor)pagefaults 0swaps For comparison, with a 120 MiB input file the memory consumption reported by time drops from almost 600 MiB to 146 MiB. The patch has been tested using Linux 3.8.2 with Python 2.7.4 and Linux 3.11.6 with Python 2.7.5. Please let me know if you need any further information.

2013-10-23perf probe: Find fentry mcount fuzzed parameter locationMasami Hiramatsu
At this point, --fentry (mcount function entry) option for gcc fuzzes the debuginfo variable locations by skipping the mcount instruction offset (on x86, this is a 5 byte call instruction). This makes variable searching fail at the entry of functions which are mcount'ed. e.g.) Available variables at vfs_read @<vfs_read+0> (No matched variables) This patch adds additional location search at the function entry point to solve this issue, which tries to find the earliest address for the variable location. Note that this only works with function parameters (formal parameters) because any local variables should not exist on the function entry address (those are not initialized yet).
