This patch adds new PMUs to support cstate related free running (read-only) counters. These counters may be used simultaneously by other tools, such as turbostat. However, it still make sense to implement them in perf. Because we can conveniently collect them together with other events, and allow to use them from tools without special MSR access code. These counters include CORE_C*_RESIDENCY and PKG_C*_RESIDENCY. According to counters' scope and category, two PMUs are registered with the perf_event core subsystem. - 'cstate_core': The counter is available for each physical core. The counters include CORE_C*_RESIDENCY. - 'cstate_pkg': The counter is available for each physical package. The counters include PKG_C*_RESIDENCY. The events are exposed in sysfs for use by perf stat and other tools. The files are: /sys/devices/cstate_core/events/c*-residency /sys/devices/cstate_pkg/events/c*-residency These events only support system-wide mode counting. The /sys/devices/cstate_*/cpumask file can be used by tools to figure out which CPUs to monitor by default. The PMU type (attr->type) is dynamically allocated and is available from /sys/devices/core_misc/type and /sys/device/cstate_*/type. Sampling is not supported. Here is an example. - To caculate the fraction of time when the core is running in C6 state CORE_C6_time% = CORE_C6_RESIDENCY / TSC # perf stat -x, -e"cstate_core/c6-residency/,msr/tsc/" -C0 -- taskset -c 0 sleep 5 11838820015,,cstate_core/c6-residency/,5175919658,100.00 11877130740,,msr/tsc/,5175922010,100.00 For sleep, 99.7% of time we ran in C6 state. # perf stat -x, -e"cstate_core/c6-residency/,msr/tsc/" -C0 -- taskset -c 0 busyloop 1253316,,cstate_core/c6-residency/,4360969154,100.00 10012635248,,msr/tsc/,4360972366,100.00 For busyloop, 0.01% of time we ran in C6 state.

(Jiri Olsa) - Make 'perf -v' and 'perf -h' work. (Jiri Olsa) - Fail properly when pattern matching fails to find a tracepoint, i.e. '-e non:existent' was being correctly handled, with a proper error message about that not being a valid event, but '-e non:existent*' wasn't, fix it.

Do it using the recently introduced ui_brower scrolling mode, setting ui_browser.columns to the number of sort columns and then, when rendering each line, skipping as many initial columns as the user pressed the right arrow. As the user presses the left arrow, the ui_browser code will remove the scrolling counter and the left scrolling takes place. The right arrow key was an alias for ENTER, so people used to press it may get a bit annoyed at first, sorry! Ditto for ESC and the left key. Callchains can be left as is or we can, when rendering the Symbol column, store the at what position on the screen it is and then using ui_browser__gotorc() to print it from there, i.e. the callchain would move around with the symbol. Leaving it as is, i.e. at a fixed position, close to the left, saves precious screen real state for it, so I'm inclined to leave it as is now.

If the classes derived from ui_browser want to do some sort of horizontal scrolling, they have just to set ui_browser->columns to the number of columns available. Those columns can be the number of characters on the screen, if what is desired is to scroll character by character, or the number of columns in a spreadsheet like table. This is what the hist_browser will do, skipping ui_browser->horiz_scroll columns when rendering each of its lines.

Peter reports that it's possible to trigger a WARN_ON_ONCE() in the Intel CQM code by combining a hardware event and an Intel CQM (software) event into a group. Unfortunately, the perf tools are not able to create this bundle and we need to manually construct a test case. For posterity, record Peter's proof of concept test case in tools/perf so that it presents a model for how we can perform architecture specific tests, or "arch tests", in perf in the future. The particular issue triggered in the test case is that when the counter for the hardware event overflows and triggers a PMI we'll read both the hardware event and the software event counters. Unfortunately, for CQM that involves performing an IPI to read the CQM event counters on all sockets, which in NMI context triggers the WARN_ON_ONCE(). Reported-by:

Move out the x86-specific tests into tools/perf/arch/x86/tests and define an 'arch_tests' array, which is the list of tests that only apply to the build architecture. We can also now begin to get rid of some of the #ifdef code that is present in the generic perf tests. Signed-off-by:

Tests that only make sense for some architectures currently live in the same place as the generic tests. Move out the x86-specific tests into tools/perf/arch/x86/tests and define an 'arch_tests' array, which is the list of tests that only apply to the build architecture.

The --interval-print parameter was limited to 100ms. However, for example, 10ms is required to do sophisticated bandwidth analysis using uncore events. The test shows that the overhead of the system-wide uncore monitoring with 10ms interval is only ~2%. So this patch reduces the minimal interval-print allowd to 10ms. But 10ms may not work well for all cases. For example, when the cpus/threads number is very large, for system-wide core event monitoring the overhead could be high. To handle this issue, a warning will be displayed when the interval-print is set between 10ms to 100ms. So users can make a decision according to their specific cases. # perf stat -e uncore_imc_1/cas_count_read/ -a --interval-print 10 -- sleep 1 print interval < 100ms. The overhead percentage could be high in some cases.

When run "perf record -e", the number of samples showed up is wrong on some 32 bit systems, i.e. powerpc and arm.

The number of samples is also absurd since samples is long type, but it is printed as PRIu64. Build test ran on x86-64, x86, aarch64, arm, mips, ppc and ppc64. Signed-off-by:

The perf top uses 'dso,symbol' sort keys by default so it overlooked a problem in task's comm resolving. When the sort key contains 'comm', some task's comm is not shown properly. This is because the perf_top__mmap_read_idx() checks the cpumode value improperly. The cpumode value of non-sample events are 0 (PERF_RECORD_MISC_CPUMODE_ UNKNOWN) so the events will be ignored by the switch statement. This patch allows it for non-sample events. Signed-off-by:

A previous patch added a synthesized comm event for forked child process but it missed that the event should contain area for sample_id_hdr at the end. It worked by accident since the perf_event union contains bigger event structs like mmap_events.

E.g. $ perf record usleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.017 MB perf.data (11 samples) ] $ perf evlist cycles:pp $ perf evlist -v cycles:pp: size: 112, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|PERIOD, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, enable_on_exec: 1, task: 1, precise_ip: 2, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1 $ grep 'model name' /proc/cpuinfo | head -1 model name : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3667U CPU @ 2.00GHz $ When 'cycles' appears explicitely is specified this will not be tried, i.e. the user has full control of the level of precision to be used: $ perf record -e cycles usleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.016 MB perf.data (9 samples) ] $ perf evlist cycles $ perf evlist -v cycles: size: 112, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|PERIOD, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, enable_on_exec: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1 $ Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de> Cc: Chandler Carruth <chandlerc@gmail.com> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Cc: Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com> Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXaxk27zwlk Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-b1ywebmt22pi78vjxau01wth@git.kernel.orgSigned-off-by: -

So that one can, for instance, use it with wc -l: # perf list *:*write* | wc -l 60 Or to look for the "bio" tracepoints, without 'perf list' headers: # perf list *:*bio* | head block:block_bio_backmerge [Tracepoint event] block:block_bio_bounce [Tracepoint event] block:block_bio_complete [Tracepoint event] block:block_bio_frontmerge [Tracepoint event] block:block_bio_queue [Tracepoint event] block:block_bio_remap [Tracepoint event] # Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Cc: Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-ts7sc0x8u4io4cifzkup4j44@git.kernel.orgSigned-off-by: -

perf probe shows more precisely message when it finds given %return target function is inlined. Without this fix: ---- # ./perf probe -V getname_flags%return Return probe must be on the head of a real function. Debuginfo analysis failed. Error: Failed to show vars. ---- With this fix: ---- # ./perf probe -V getname_flags%return Failed to find "getname_flags%return", because getname_flags is an inlined function and has no return point. Debuginfo analysis failed. Error: Failed to show vars. ---- Suggested-by: -

perf probe --list will get a segfault if the first kprobe event is on a module and the second or latter one is on the kernel. e.g. ---- # ./perf probe -q -m pcspkr pcspkr_event # ./perf probe -q vfs_read # ./perf probe -l Segmentation fault (core dumped) ---- This is because the debuginfo_cache fails to handle NULL module name, which causes segfault on strcmp. (Note that strcmp("something", NULL) always causes segfault) To fix this debuginfo_cache__open always translates the NULL module name to "kernel" (this is correct, because NULL module name means opening the debuginfo for the kernel) ---- # ./perf probe -l probe:pcspkr_event (on pcspkr_event@drivers/input/misc/pcspkr.c in pcspkr) probe:vfs_read (on vfs_read@ksrc/linux-3/fs/read_write.c) ---- Signed-off-by: -

Perf probe always failed to find appropriate line numbers because of failing to find .text start address offset from debuginfo. e.g. ---- # ./perf probe -m pcspkr pcspkr_event:5 Added new events: probe:pcspkr_event (on pcspkr_event:5 in pcspkr) probe:pcspkr_event_1 (on pcspkr_event:5 in pcspkr) You can now use it in all perf tools, such as: perf record -e probe:pcspkr_event_1 -aR sleep 1 # ./perf probe -l Failed to find debug information for address ffffffffa031f006 Failed to find debug information for address ffffffffa031f016 probe:pcspkr_event (on pcspkr_event+6 in pcspkr) probe:pcspkr_event_1 (on pcspkr_event+22 in pcspkr) ---- This fixes the above issue as below. 1. Get the relative address of the symbol in .text by using map->start. 2. Adjust the address by adding the offset of .text section in the kernel module binary. With this fix, perf probe -l shows lines correctly. ---- # ./perf probe -l probe:pcspkr_event (on pcspkr_event:5@drivers/input/misc/pcspkr.c in pcspkr) probe:pcspkr_event_1 (on pcspkr_event:5@drivers/input/misc/pcspkr.c in pcspkr) ---- Reported-by: -

Fix to remove dot suffix (e.g. .const, .isra) from the second or latter events which has suffix numbers. Since the previous commit 35a23ff9 ("perf probe: Cut off the gcc optimization postfixes from function name") didn't care about the suffix numbered events, therefore we'll have an error when we add additional events on the same dot suffix functions. e.g. ---- # ./perf probe -f -a get_sigframe.isra.2.constprop.3 \ -a get_sigframe.isra.2.constprop.3 Failed to write event: Invalid argument Error: Failed to add events. ---- This fixes above issue as below: ---- # ./perf probe -f -a get_sigframe.isra.2.constprop.3 \ -a get_sigframe.isra.2.constprop.3 Added new events: probe:get_sigframe (on get_sigframe.isra.2.constprop.3) probe:get_sigframe_1 (on get_sigframe.isra.2.constprop.3) You can now use it in all perf tools, such as: perf record -e probe:get_sigframe_1 -aR sleep 1 ---- Signed-off-by:

It is about binding, not type, we have just a letter in kallsyms that should map both for the ELF type (STT_FUNC, etc) and to the ELF symbol binding (STB_WEAK, STB_GLOBAL, etc), so rename it now before introducing kallsyms2_elf_type() Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-uu5vj343ms1q2wm55690on6v@git.kernel.orgSigned-off-by:
