      perf tools: Fix thread_map event synthesizing in top and record · 401b8e13
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored 
      Jeff Moyer reported these messages:

  Warning:  ... trying to fall back to cpu-clock-ticks

couldn't open /proc/-1/status
couldn't open /proc/-1/maps
[ls output]
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.008 MB perf.data (~363 samples) ]

That lead me and David Ahern to see that something was fishy on the thread
synthesizing routines, at least for the case where the workload is started
from 'perf record', as -1 is the default for target_tid in 'perf record --tid'
parameter, so somehow we were trying to synthesize the PERF_RECORD_MMAP and
PERF_RECORD_COMM events for the thread -1, a bug.

So I investigated this and noticed that when we introduced support for
recording a process and its threads using --pid some bugs were introduced and
that the way to fix it was to instead of passing the target_tid to the event
synthesizing routines we should better pass the thread_map that has the list of
threads for a --pid or just the single thread for a --tid.

Checked in the following ways:

On a 8-way machine run cyclictest:

[root@emilia ~]# perf record cyclictest -a -t -n -p99 -i100 -d50
policy: fifo: loadavg: 0.00 0.13 0.31 2/139 28798

[root@emilia ~]#

This will create one extra thread per CPU:

[root@emilia ~]# tuna -t cyclictest -CP
                      thread       ctxt_switches
    pid SCHED_ rtpri affinity voluntary nonvoluntary             cmd
 28825   OTHER     0     0xff      2169          671      cyclictest
  28832   FIFO    93        6     52338            1      cyclictest
  28833   FIFO    92        7     46524            1      cyclictest
  28826   FIFO    99        0    209360            1      cyclictest
  28827   FIFO    98        1    139577            1      cyclictest
  28828   FIFO    97        2    104686            0      cyclictest
  28829   FIFO    96        3     83751            1      cyclictest
  28830   FIFO    95        4     69794            1      cyclictest
  28831   FIFO    94        5     59825            1      cyclictest
[root@emilia ~]#

So we should expect only samples for the above 9 threads when using the
--dump-raw-trace|-D perf report switch to look at the column with the tid:

[root@emilia ~]# perf report -D | grep RECORD_SAMPLE | cut -d/ -f2 | cut -d: -f1 | sort | uniq -c
    629 28825
    110 28826
    491 28827
    308 28828
    198 28829
    621 28830
    225 28831
    203 28832
     89 28833
[root@emilia ~]#

So for workloads started by 'perf record' seems to work, now for existing workloads,
just run cyclictest first, without 'perf record':

[root@emilia ~]# tuna -t cyclictest -CP
                      thread       ctxt_switches
    pid SCHED_ rtpri affinity voluntary nonvoluntary             cmd
 28859   OTHER     0     0xff       594          200      cyclictest
  28864   FIFO    95        4     16587            1      cyclictest
  28865   FIFO    94        5     14219            1      cyclictest
  28866   FIFO    93        6     12443            0      cyclictest
  28867   FIFO    92        7     11062            1      cyclictest
  28860   FIFO    99        0     49779            1      cyclictest
  28861   FIFO    98        1     33190            1      cyclictest
  28862   FIFO    97        2     24895            1      cyclictest
  28863   FIFO    96        3     19918            1      cyclictest
[root@emilia ~]#

and then later did:

[root@emilia ~]# perf record --pid 28859 sleep 3
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.027 MB perf.data (~1195 samples) ]
[root@emilia ~]#

To collect 3 seconds worth of samples for pid 28859 and its children:

[root@emilia ~]# perf report -D | grep RECORD_SAMPLE | cut -d/ -f2 | cut -d: -f1 | sort | uniq -c
     15 28859
     33 28860
     19 28861
     13 28862
     13 28863
     10 28864
     11 28865
      9 28866
    255 28867
[root@emilia ~]#

Works, last thing is to check if looking at just one of those threads also works:

[root@emilia ~]# perf record --tid 28866 sleep 3
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.006 MB perf.data (~242 samples) ]
[root@emilia ~]# perf report -D | grep RECORD_SAMPLE | cut -d/ -f2 | cut -d: -f1 | sort | uniq -c
      3 28866
[root@emilia ~]#

Works too.

      watchdog, nmi: Lower the severity of error messages · 5651f7f4
      Don Zickus authored 
      During boot if the hardlockup detector fails to initialize, it
complains very loudly.  Some failures should be expected under
certain situations, ie no lapics, or resource in-use.  Tone
those error messages down a bit.  Keep the rest at a high level.

      perf annotate: Fix annotate context lines regression · d5e3d747
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored 
      The live annotation done in 'perf top' needs to limit the context before
lines that aren't filtered out by the min percent filter, if we don't do
that, the screen in a tty often is not enough for showing what is
interesting: lines with hits and a few source code lines before it.

      perf annotate: Move locking to struct annotation · ce6f4fab
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored 
      Since we'll need it when implementing the live annotate TUI browser.

This also simplifies things a bit by having the list head for the source
code to be in the dynamicly allocated part of struct annotation, that
way we don't have to pass it around, it can be found from the struct
symbol that is passed everywhere.
