2009-09-24perf tools: Dont use openat()Eric Dumazet
openat() is still a young glibc facility, better to not use it in a non performance critical program (perf list) Many machines have older glibc (RHEL 4 Update 5 -> glibc-2.3.4-2.36 on my dev machine for example).

2009-09-23perf tools: Fix module symbol loading bugMike Galbraith
Avi Kivity reported 'perf annotate' failures with modules, the requested function was not annotated. If there are no modules currently loaded, or the last module scanned is not loaded, dso__load_modules() steps on the value from dso__load_vmlinux(), so we happily load the kallsyms symbols on top of what we've already loaded. Fix that such that the total count of symbols loaded is returned. Should module symbol load fail after parsing of vmlinux, is's a hard failure, so do not silently fall-back to kallsyms.

2009-09-21perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance EventsIngo Molnar
Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

This patch adds a command line option for timechart that allows the user to specify the width of the SVG file. This patch also makes sure that each second of recording has at least 200 units (pixels at 96 DPI) of width. This impacts recordings longer than 5 seconds; recordings shorter than 5 second will scale up to have a width of 1000 units for the whole recording (as before).

2009-09-19perf: Add the timechart toolArjan van de Ven
timechart is a tool to visualize what is going on in the system. The user makes a trace of what is going on with > perf record --timechart /usr/bin/some_command and then can turn the output of this into an svg file > perf timechart which then can be viewed with any SVG view; inkscape works well enough for me. The idea behind timechart is to create a "infinitely zoomable" picture; something that has high level information on a 1:1 zoom level, but which exposes more details every time you zoom into a specific area.

2009-09-14perf tools: Fix processing of randomly serialized sched tracesFrederic Weisbecker
Currently it's possible to meet such too high latency results with 'perf sched latency'. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Task | Runtime ms | Switches | Average delay ms | Maximum delay ms | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- xfce4-panel | 0.222 ms | 2 | avg: 4718.345 ms | max: 9436.493 ms | scsi_eh_3 | 3.962 ms | 36 | avg: 55.957 ms | max: 1977.829 ms | The origin is on traces that are sometimes badly serialized across cpus. For example the raw traces that raised such results for xfce4-panel: (1) [init]-0 [000] 1494.663899990: sched_switch: task swapper:0 [140] (R) ==> xfce4-panel:4569 [120] (2) xfce4-panel-4569 [000] 1494.663928373: sched_switch: task xfce4-panel:4569 [120] (S) ==> swapper:0 [140] (3) Xorg-4276 [001] 1494.663860125: sched_wakeup: task xfce4-panel:4569 [120] success=1 [000] (4) Xorg-4276 [001] 1504.098252756: sched_wakeup: task xfce4-panel:4569 [120] success=1 [000] (5) perf-5219 [000] 1504.100353302: sched_switch: task perf:5219 [120] (S) ==> xfce4-panel:4569 [120] The traces are processed in the order they arrive. Then in (2), xfce4-panel sleeps, it is first waken up in (3) and eventually scheduled in (5). The latency reported is then 1504 - 1495 = 9 secs, as reported by perf sched. But this is wrong, we are confident in the fact the traces are nicely serialized while we should actually more trust the timestamps. If we reorder by timestamps we get: (1) Xorg-4276 [001] 1494.663860125: sched_wakeup: task xfce4-panel:4569 [120] success=1 [000] (2) [init]-0 [000] 1494.663899990: sched_switch: task swapper:0 [140] (R) ==> xfce4-panel:4569 [120] (3) xfce4-panel-4569 [000] 1494.663928373: sched_switch: task xfce4-panel:4569 [120] (S) ==> swapper:0 [140] (4) Xorg-4276 [001] 1504.098252756: sched_wakeup: task xfce4-panel:4569 [120] success=1 [000] (5) perf-5219 [000] 1504.100353302: sched_switch: task perf:5219 [120] (S) ==> xfce4-panel:4569 [120] Now the trace make more sense, xfce4-panel is sleeping. Then it is woken up in (1), scheduled in (2) It goes to sleep in (3), woken up in (4) and scheduled in (5). Now, latency captured between (1) and (2) is of 39 us. And between (4) and (5) it is 2.1 ms. Such pattern of bad serializing is the origin of the high latencies reported by perf sched. Basically, we need to check whether wake up time is higher than schedule out time. If it's not the case, we need to tag the current work atom as invalid. Beside that, we may need to work later on a better ordering of the traces given by the kernel.
