2009-11-10perf bench: Add format constants to bench.h for unified output formattingHitoshi Mitake
This patch adds some constants and extern declaration to bench.h. These are used for unified output formatting of 'perf bench'.

2009-11-09perf bench: Fix bench/sched-pipe.c to wait for child processHitoshi Mitake
Ingo reported this small 'perf bench sched pipe' output problem: | $ ./perf bench sched pipe | (executing 1000000 pipe operations between two tasks) | | Total time:4.898 sec | $ 4.898586 usecs/op | 204140 ops/sec | | the shell prompt came back before the usecs/op and ops/sec line | was printed. Process teardown race, lack of wait() or so? This caused by lack of calling waitpid() by parent process, so I added it.

2009-11-08perf tools: Fix permission checksPekka Enberg
The perf_event_open() system call returns EACCES if the user is not root which results in a very confusing error message: $ perf record -A -a -f Error: perfcounter syscall returned with -1 (Permission denied) Fatal: No CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS=y kernel support configured? It turns out that's because perf tools are checking only for EPERM. Fix that up to get a much better error message: $ perf record -A -a -f Fatal: Permission error - are you root?

2009-11-08perf symbols: Use the buildids if presentArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
With this change 'perf record' will intercept PERF_RECORD_MMAP calls, creating a linked list of DSOs, then when the session finishes, it will traverse this list and read the buildids, stashing them at the end of the file and will set up a new feature bit in the header bitmask. 'perf report' will then notice this feature and populate the 'dsos' list and set the build ids. When reading the symtabs it will refuse to load from a file that doesn't have the same build id. This improves the reliability of the profiler output, as symbols and profiling data is more guaranteed to match. Example: [root@doppio ~]# perf report | head /home/acme/bin/perf with build id b1ea544ac3746e7538972548a09aadecc5753868 not found, continuing without symbols # Samples: 2621434559 # # Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol # ........ ............... ............................. ...... # 7.91% init [kernel] [k] read_hpet 7.64% init [kernel] [k] mwait_idle_with_hints 7.60% swapper [kernel] [k] read_hpet 7.60% swapper [kernel] [k] mwait_idle_with_hints 3.65% init [kernel] [k] 0xffffffffa02339d9 [root@doppio ~]# In this case the 'perf' binary was an older one, vanished, so its symbols probably wouldn't match or would cause subtly different (and misleading) output. Next patches will support the kernel as well, reading the build id notes for it and the modules from /sys. Another patch should also introduce a new plumbing command: 'perf list-buildids' that will then be used in porcelain that is distro specific to fetch -debuginfo packages where such buildids are present. This will in turn allow for one to run 'perf record' in one machine and 'perf report' in another. Future work on having the buildid sent directly from the kernel in the PERF_RECORD_MMAP event is needed to close races, as the DSO can be changed during a 'perf record' session, but this patch at least helps with non-corner cases and current/older kernels.

2009-10-28perf_event: Add alignment-faults and emulation-faults software eventsAnton Blanchard
Add two more software events that are common to many cpus. Alignment faults: When a load or store is not aligned properly. Emulation faults: When an instruction is emulated in software. Both cause a very significant slowdown (100x or worse), so identifying and fixing them is very important.

2009-10-23perf tools: Drop asm/types.h wrapperFrederic Weisbecker
Wrapping the kernel headers is dangerous when it comes to arch headers. Once we wrap asm/types.h, it will also replace the glibc asm/types.h, not only the kernel one. This results in build errors on some machines. Drop this wrapper and do its work from linux/types.h wrapper, also the glibc asm/types.h can already handle most of the type definition it was doing (typedef __u64, __u32, etc...). Todo: Check the others asm/*.h wrappers to prevent from other conflicts.

2009-10-23perf tools: Bind callchains to the first sort dimension columnFrederic Weisbecker
Currently, the callchains are displayed using a constant left margin. So depending on the current sort dimension configuration, callchains may appear to be well attached to the first sort dimension column field which is mostly the case, except when the first dimension of sorting is done by comm, because these are right aligned. This patch binds the callchain to the first letter in the first column, whatever type of column it is (dso, comm, symbol). Before: 0.80% perf [k] __lock_acquire __lock_acquire lock_acquire | |--58.33%-- _spin_lock | | | |--28.57%-- inotify_should_send_event | | fsnotify | | __fsnotify_parent After: 0.80% perf [k] __lock_acquire __lock_acquire lock_acquire | |--58.33%-- _spin_lock | | | |--28.57%-- inotify_should_send_event | | fsnotify | | __fsnotify_parent Also, for clarity, we don't put anymore the callchain as is but: - If we have a top level ancestor in the callchain, start it with a first ascii hook. Before: 0.80% perf [kernel] [k] __lock_acquire __lock_acquire lock_acquire | |--58.33%-- _spin_lock | | | |--28.57%-- inotify_should_send_event | | fsnotify [..] [..] After: 0.80% perf [kernel] [k] __lock_acquire | --- __lock_acquire lock_acquire | |--58.33%-- _spin_lock | | | |--28.57%-- inotify_should_send_event | | fsnotify [..] [..] - Otherwise, if we have several top level ancestors, then display these like we did before: 1.69% Xorg | |--21.21%-- vread_hpet | 0x7fffd85b46fc | 0x7fffd85b494d | 0x7f4fafb4e54d | |--15.15%-- exaOffscreenAlloc | |--9.09%-- I830WaitLpRing Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> LKML-Reference: <1256246604-17156-2-git-send-email-fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2009-10-23perf tools: Fix missing top level callchainFrederic Weisbecker
While recursively printing the branches of each callchains, we forget to display the root. It is never printed. Say we have: symbol f1 f2 | -------- f3 | f4 | ---------f5 f6 Actually we never see that, instead it displays: symbol | --------- f3 | f4 | --------- f5 f6 However f1 is always the same than "symbol" and if we are sorting by symbols first then "symbol", f1 and f2 will be well aligned like in the above example, so displaying f1 looks redundant here. But if we are sorting by something else first (dso, comm, etc...), displaying f1 doesn't look redundant but rather necessary because the symbol is not well aligned anymore with its callchain: comm dso symbol f1 f2 | --------- [...] And we want the callchain to be obvious. So we fix the bug by printing the root branch, but we also filter its first entry if we are sorting by symbols first.

2009-10-21perf tools: Use strsep() over strtok_r() for parsing single lineSteven Rostedt
The second argument in the strtok_r() function is not to be used generically and can have different implementations. Currently the function parsing of the perf trace code uses the second argument to copy data from. This can crash the tool or just have unpredictable results. The correct solution is to use strsep() which has a defined result. I also added a check to see if the result was correct, and will break out of the loop in case it fails to parse as expected.
