2010-06-17perf record: prevent kill(0, SIGTERM);Ian Munsie
At exit, perf record will kill the process it was profiling by sending a SIGTERM to child_pid (if it had been initialised), but in certain situations child_pid may be 0 and perf would mistakenly kill more processes than intended. child_pid is set to the return of fork() to either 0 or the pid of the child. Ordinarily this would not present an issue as the child calls execvp to spawn the process to be profiled and would therefore never run it's sig_atexit and never attempt to kill pid 0. However, if a nonexistant binary had been passed in to perf record the call to execvp would fail and child_pid would be left set to 0. The child would then exit and it's atexit handler, finding that child_pid was initialised to 0, would call kill(0, SIGTERM), resulting in every process within it's process group being killed. In the case that perf was being run directly from the shell this typically would not be an issue as the shell isolates the process. However, if perf was being called from another program it could kill unexpected processes, which may even include X. This patch changes the logic of the test for whether child_pid was initialised to only consider positive pids as valid, thereby never attempting to kill pid 0. Cc: David S.

2010-06-17perf session: Remove threads from tree on PERF_RECORD_EXITArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Move them to a session->dead_threads list just like we do with maps that are replaced, because we may have hist_entries pointing to them. This fixes a bug when inserting maps for a new thread that reused the TID, mixing maps for two different threads, causing an endless loop. The code for insering maps should be made more robust but for .35 this is the minimalistic patch. Reported-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: David S.

2010-06-04perf symbols: Set the DSO long name when using symbol_conf.vmlinux_nameArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
We need to set the long name to the name specified via, for instance, 'perf annotate --vmlinux /path/to/vmlinux', if not it will remain as '[kernel.kallsyms]' and that will make annotate fail when passing this as the vmlinux name in the call to objdump. The way this is setup grew unwieldly and dso__load_vmlinux is the function that should allocate space for the long name, with callers not assuming that filenames should be allocated somehow by then (strdup, dso__build_id_filename, etc). For now this is the minimalistic patch, a proper fix for .36 will be made. Reported-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Tested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Cc: David S.

2010-06-01perf buildid-list: Fix --with-hits event processingArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
When we use plain 'perf buildid-list' we use only what is in the buildid table in the perf.data header. And those have absolute pathnames because at 'perf record' time we used __perf_session__process_events and that doesn't sets up the path shortening code in map__new() that happens if symbol_conf.full_paths is false, the default. On the other hand, when we use 'perf buildid-list --with-hits' we process all the events using perf_session__process_events, adding entries to the global DSO list _after_ removing the current directory from the DSO name, for presentation purposes. Because of that we end up having two entries in the DSO list when recording events for binaries using relative pathnames. Fix it minimally by setting symbol_conf.full_paths to true when marking the DSOs with hits in 'perf buildid-list --with-hits', as used by 'perf archive' Right fix longer term is to shorten the path only at presentation time. Will be done for 2.6.36. Reported-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Tested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Cc: David S.

2010-06-01perf: Do the comm inheritance per thread in event__process_taskFrederic Weisbecker
event__process_task() doesn't propagate the comm copy on clone, but only on process fork. So we loose all the tid:comm resolution for tasks that aren't a main process thread. Progragate the per thread granularity to event__process_task for pid resolution. This fixes various unresolved pids in perf sched, especially when we trace multithread processes.

2010-06-01perf: Use event__process_task from perf schedFrederic Weisbecker
perf sched uses event__process_comm(), which means it can resolve comms from: - tasks that have exec'ed (kernel comm events) - tasks that were running when perf record started the actual recording (synthetized comm events) But perf sched can't resolve the pids of tasks that were created after the recording started. To solve this, we need to inherit the comms on fork events using event__process_task(). This fixes various unresolved pids in perf sched, easily visible with: perf sched record perf bench sched messaging Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Tom Zanussi <tzanussi@gmail.com> Cc: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com>
2010-05-31perf: Process comm events by tidFrederic Weisbecker
When we synthetize the existing running tasks though procfs, we walk through every threads of a process, queuing one comm events per tid. But then on report time, event__process_comm() only creates and sets the comm on a per process granularity. This is the right thing for comm events that came from the kernel, as they are only created on exec. Sub-threads then inherit their comm from fork events. But that doesn't work with our synthetized comm events taken from procfs informations as the per thread granularity is done on comm events directly there. Hence we need event__process_comm() to work with the tid rather than the pid. It won't change anything for comm events coming from the kernel but this will fix the synthetized ones. Before: $ ./perf report -D | grep COMM | grep firefox 0x2c7b8 [0x18]: PERF_RECORD_COMM: firefox:5297 0x2c7d0 [0x18]: PERF_RECORD_COMM: firefox:5297 0x2c7e8 [0x18]: PERF_RECORD_COMM: firefox:5297 0x2c800 [0x18]: PERF_RECORD_COMM: firefox:5297 0x2c818 [0x18]: PERF_RECORD_COMM: firefox:5297 0x2c830 [0x18]: PERF_RECORD_COMM: firefox:5297 After: $ ./perf report -D | grep COMM | grep firefox 0x2c7b8 [0x18]: PERF_RECORD_COMM: firefox:5297 0x2c7d0 [0x18]: PERF_RECORD_COMM: firefox:5299 0x2c7e8 [0x18]: PERF_RECORD_COMM: firefox:5300 0x2c800 [0x18]: PERF_RECORD_COMM: firefox:5308 0x2c818 [0x18]: PERF_RECORD_COMM: firefox:5309 0x2c830 [0x18]: PERF_RECORD_COMM: firefox:5312 This fixes various unresolved pid on perf sched.

This is because PERF_SAMPLE_RAW are aligned to 4 and not to 8. Fix this on the macros that get the values of 8 size. This fixes segfaults on perf tools in sparc 64.

2010-05-20perf: Use read() instead of lseek() in trace_event_read.c:skip()Tom Zanussi
This is a small fix for a problem affecting live-mode, introduced recently: root@tropicana:~# perf trace rwtop perf trace started with Perl script /root/libexec/perf-core/scripts/perl/rwtop.pl Fatal: did not read header event commit d00a47cce569a3e660a8c9de5d57af28d6a9f0f7 added a skip() function to skip over e.g. header_page, but this doesn't work for live mode. This patch re-implements skip() to use read() instead of lseek() to fix that.

2010-05-19perf session: Make read_build_id routines look at the host_machine tooArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
The changes made to support host and guest machines in a session, that started when the 'perf kvm' tool was introduced ended up introducing a bug where the host_machine was not having its DSOs traversed for build-id processing. Fix it by moving some methods to the right classes and considering the host_machine when processing build-ids.

2010-05-18perf stat: add perf stat -B to pretty print large numbersStephane Eranian
It is hard to read very large numbers so provide an option to perf stat to separate thousands using a separator. The patch leverages the locale support of stdio. You need to set your LC_NUMERIC appropriately, for instance LC_NUMERIC=en_US.UTF8. You need to pass -B to activate this feature. This way existing scripts parsing the output do not need to be changed. Here is an example. $ perf stat noploop 2 noploop for 2 seconds Performance counter stats for 'noploop 2': 1998.347031 task-clock-msecs # 0.998 CPUs 61 context-switches # 0.000 M/sec 0 CPU-migrations # 0.000 M/sec 118 page-faults # 0.000 M/sec 4,138,410,900 cycles # 2070.917 M/sec (scaled from 70.01%) 2,062,650,268 instructions # 0.498 IPC (scaled from 70.01%) 2,057,653,466 branches # 1029.678 M/sec (scaled from 70.01%) 40,267 branch-misses # 0.002 % (scaled from 30.04%) 2,055,961,348 cache-references # 1028.831 M/sec (scaled from 30.03%) 53,725 cache-misses # 0.027 M/sec (scaled from 30.02%) 2.001393933 seconds time elapsed $ perf stat -B noploop 2 noploop for 2 seconds Performance counter stats for 'noploop 2': 1998.297883 task-clock-msecs # 0.998 CPUs 59 context-switches # 0.000 M/sec 0 CPU-migrations # 0.000 M/sec 119 page-faults # 0.000 M/sec 4,131,380,160 cycles # 2067.450 M/sec (scaled from 70.01%) 2,059,096,507 instructions # 0.498 IPC (scaled from 70.01%) 2,054,681,303 branches # 1028.216 M/sec (scaled from 70.01%) 25,650 branch-misses # 0.001 % (scaled from 30.05%) 2,056,283,014 cache-references # 1029.017 M/sec (scaled from 30.03%) 47,097 cache-misses # 0.024 M/sec (scaled from 30.02%) 2.001391016 seconds time elapsed Cc: David S.

With it in place found some problems, fixed by changing the affected variables to sensible types or changed some OPT_INTEGER to OPT_UINTEGER.

2010-05-17perf record: Fix bug mismatch with -c option definitionStephane Eranian
The -c option defines the user requested sampling period. It was implemented using an unsigned int variable but the type of the option was OPT_LONG. Thus, the option parser was overwriting memory belonging to other variables, namely the mmap_pages leading to a zero page sampling buffer. The bug was exposed only when compiling at -O0, probably because the compiler was padding variables at higher optimization levels. This patch fixes this problem by declaring user_interval as u64. This also avoids wrap-around issues for large period on 32-bit systems. Commiter note: Made it use OPT_U64(user_interval) after implementing OPT_U64 in the previous patch. Cc: David S.
