In case we monitor events system wide, we get EXIT event (when configured) twice for each task that exited. Note doubled lines with same pid/tid in following example: $ sudo ./perf record -a ^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.480 MB perf.data (2518 samples) ] $ sudo ./perf report -D | grep EXIT 0 60290687567581 0x59910 [0x38]: PERF_RECORD_EXIT(1250:1250):(1250:1250) 0 60290687568354 0x59948 [0x38]: PERF_RECORD_EXIT(1250:1250):(1250:1250) 0 60290687988744 0x59ad8 [0x38]: PERF_RECORD_EXIT(1250:1250):(1250:1250) 0 60290687989198 0x59b10 [0x38]: PERF_RECORD_EXIT(1250:1250):(1250:1250) 1 60290692567895 0x62af0 [0x38]: PERF_RECORD_EXIT(1253:1253):(1253:1253) 1 60290692568322 0x62b28 [0x38]: PERF_RECORD_EXIT(1253:1253):(1253:1253) 2 60290692739276 0x69a18 [0x38]: PERF_RECORD_EXIT(1252:1252):(1252:1252) 2 60290692739910 0x69a50 [0x38]: PERF_RECORD_EXIT(1252:1252):(1252:1252) The reason is that the cpu contexts are processes each time we call perf_event_task. I'm changing the perf_event_aux logic to serve task_ctx and cpu contexts separately, which ensure we don't get EXIT event generated twice on same cpu context. This does not affect other auxiliary events, as they don't use task_ctx at all. Signed-off-by:

This patch collects more information from maps sections in BPF object files into 'struct bpf_object', enables later patches access those information (such as the type and size of the map). In this patch, a new handler 'struct bpf_map' is extracted in parallel with bpf_object and bpf_program. Its iterator and accessor is also created. Signed-off-by:

When perf report on TUI was called with -S symbol filter, it should update nr entries even if min_pcnt is 0. IIRC the reason was to update nr entries after applying minimum percent threshold. But if symbol filter was given on command line (with -S option), it should use hists->nr_non_filtered_entries instead of hists->nr_entries. So this patch fixes a bug of navigating hists browser that the cursor goes beyond the number of entries when -S (or similar) option is used. Signed-off-by:

If user gives a filter, perf marks the corresponding column elided and omits the output. But it should process and aggregates samples using the field, otherwise samples will be aggregated as if the column was not there resulted in incorrect output. For example, I'd like to set a filter on native_write_msr_safe. The original overhead of the function is negligible. $ perf report | grep native_write_msr_safe 0.00% swapper [kernel.vmlinux] native_write_msr_safe 0.00% perf [kernel.vmlinux] native_write_msr_safe However adding -S option gives different output. $ perf report -S native_write_msr_safe --percentage absolute | \ > grep -e swapper -e perf 51.47% swapper [kernel.vmlinux] 4.14% perf [kernel.vmlinux] Since it aggregated samples using comm and dso only. In fact, the above values are same when it sorts with -s comm,dso. $ perf report -s comm,dso | grep -e swapper -e perf 51.47% swapper [kernel.vmlinux] 4.14% perf [kernel.vmlinux] This resulted in TUI failure with -ERANGE since it tries to increase sample hit count for annotation with wrong symbols due to incorrect aggregation. This patch fixes it not to skip elided fields when comparing samples in order to insert them to the hists.

When PERF_COUNT_SW_BPF_OUTPUT was added to the kernel we should've added it to tools/perf, where it is used just to list events. This ended up causing a segfault in commands like "perf list stall".

The --kernel option of perf buildid-list tool should show the running kernel buildid. The functionality has been lost during other changes of the related code. The build_id__sprintf() function should return length of the build-id string, but it was the length of the build-id raw data instead. Due to that, some return value checking caused that the final string was not printed out. With this patch the build_id__sprintf() returns the correct value, so the --kernel option works again.

However, user would expect it success in both case because perf is able to find probe points actually. The reason is because perf won't utilize module's full path if it failed to open debuginfo. In: convert_to_probe_trace_events -> find_probe_trace_events_from_map -> get_target_map -> kernel_get_module_map -> machine__findnew_module_map -> map_groups__find_by_name map_groups__find_by_name() is able to find the map of that module, but this information is found from /proc/module before it knows the real path of the offline module. Therefore, the map->dso->long_name is set to something like '[mymodule]', which prevent dso__load() find the real path of the module file. In another aspect, if dso__load() can get the offline module through buildid cache, it can read symble table from that ko. Even if debuginfo is not available, 'perf probe' can success if the '.symtab' can be found. This patch improves machine__findnew_module_map(): when dso->long_name is leading with '[' (doesn't find path of module when parsing /proc/modules), fixes it by dso__set_long_name(), so following dso__load() is possible to find the symbol table. This patch won't interfere with buildid matching. Here is the test result: # ./perf probe -m ./mymodule.ko my_func Added new event: probe:my_func (on my_func in /home/wangnan/kmodule/mymodule.ko) You can now use it in all perf tools, such as: perf record -e probe:my_func -aR sleep 1 # ./perf probe -d '*' Removed event: probe:my_func # mv ./mymodule.{ko,.bak} # mv ./moduleb.ko mymodule.ko # ./perf probe -m ./mymodule.ko my_func /home/wangnan/kmodule/mymodule.ko with build id 326ab42550ef3d24944f53c817533728367effeb not found, continuing without symbols Failed to find symbol my_func in /home/wangnan/kmodule/mymodule.ko Error: Failed to add events. # ./perf probe -v -m ./mymodule.ko my_func probe-definition(0): my_func symbol:my_func file:(null) line:0 offset:0 return:0 lazy:(null) 0 arguments Could not open debuginfo.

Before this patch libbpf always do feature check even when cleaning. For example: $ cd kernel/tools/lib/bpf $ make Auto-detecting system features: ... libelf: [ on ] ... bpf: [ on ] CC libbpf.o CC bpf.o LD libbpf-in.o LINK libbpf.a LINK libbpf.so $ make clean CLEAN libbpf CLEAN core-gen $ make clean Auto-detecting system features: ... libelf: [ on ] ... bpf: [ on ] CLEAN libbpf CLEAN core-gen $ Although the first 'make clean' doesn't show feature check result, it still does the check. No output because check result is similar to FEATURE-DUMP.libbpf. This patch uses same method as perf to turn off feature checking when 'make clean'. Reported-and-Tested-by: -

Since fixdep is a small host side tool, we should keep its CFLAGS/LDFLAGS simple and clean. This patch clears the CFLAGS and LDFLAGS passed when building fixdep, so such gcc problem won't block the perf build process. Signed-off-by: -

The commit 05c8d802 ("perf probe: Fix to free temporal Dwarf_Frame") tried to fix the memory leak of Dwarf_Frame, but it released the frame at wrong point. Since the dwarf_frame_cfa(frame, &pf->fb_ops, &nops) can return an address inside the frame data structure to pf->fb_ops, we can not release the frame before using pf->fb_ops. This reverts the commit and releases the frame afterwards (right before returning from call_probe_finder) correctly. Reported-and-Tested-by:

Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/core Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo: User visible changes: - Allow callchain order (caller, callee) to the libdw and libunwind based DWARF unwinders (Jiri Olsa) - Add missing parent_val initialization in the callchain code, fixing a SEGFAULT when using callchains with 'perf top' (Jiri Olsa) - Add initial 'perf config' command, for now just with a --list command to the contents of the configuration file in use and a basic man page describing its format, commands for doing edits and detailed documentation are being reviewed and proof-read.

When a long value is read on 32 bit machines for 64 bit output, the parsing needs to change "%lu" into "%llu", as the value is read natively. Unfortunately, if "%llu" is already there, the code will add another "l" to it and fail to parse it properly. Signed-off-by:

The perf configuration file contains many variables to change various aspects of each of its tools, including output, disk usage, etc. But looking at the state of configuration is difficult and there's no documentation about config variables except for the variables in perfconfig.example exist. So this patch adds a 'perf-config' command with a '--list' option. perf config [options] display current perf config variables. # perf config -l | --list Signed-off-by: -

As reported by Milian, currently for DWARF unwind (both libdw and libunwind) we display callchain in callee order only. Adding the support to follow callchain order setup to libdw DWARF unwinder, so we could get following output for report: $ perf record --call-graph dwarf ls ... $ perf report --no-children --stdio 21.12% ls libc-2.21.so [.] __strcoll_l | ---__strcoll_l mpsort_with_tmp mpsort_with_tmp mpsort_with_tmp sort_files main __libc_start_main _start $ perf report --stdio --no-children -g caller 21.12% ls libc-2.21.so [.] __strcoll_l | ---_start __libc_start_main main sort_files mpsort_with_tmp mpsort_with_tmp mpsort_with_tmp __strcoll_l Reported-and-Tested-by:Milian Wolff <milian.wolff@kdab.com> Signed-off-by:
