Adding builtin test for parse_events function, which is responsible for parsing/processing "-e" option for stat/top/record commands. This new test will run within the builtin test command suite (perf test). One or several tests were added for each type of event. More tests could be added easily if needed. Signed-off-by:

The perf_event_attr struct has two __u32's at the top and they need to be swapped individually. With this change I was able to analyze a perf.data collected in a 32-bit PPC VM on an x86 system. I tested both 32-bit and 64-bit binaries for the Intel analysis side; both read the PPC perf.data file correctly. -v2: - changed the existing perf_event__attr_swap() to swap only elements of perf_event_attr and exported it for use in swapping the attributes in the file header - updated swap_ops used for processing events Signed-off-by:

Add "node" as a simple alias for NODE cache events. The addition of NODE cache events broke the parse_alias function, so any mismatched event caused the segfault, like: # ./perf stat -e krava ls The hw_cache/hw_cache_op/hw_cache_result arrays needs to follow PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_*MAX enums. Adding those MAXs to be size of those arrays, so possible ommision in future wil not lead to segfault. Adding read/write/prefetch as allowed operations for node cache event. Signed-off-by:

Support adding probes on offline kernel modules. This enables perf-probe to trace kernel-module init functions via perf-probe. If user gives the path of module with -m option, perf-probe expects the module is offline. This feature works with --add, --funcs, and --vars. E.g) # perf probe -m /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/fs/btrfs/btrfs.ko \ -a "extent_io_init:5 extent_state_cache" Add new events: probe:extent_io_init (on extent_io_init:5 with extent_state_cache) probe:extent_io_init_1 (on extent_io_init:5 with extent_state_cache) You can now use it on all perf tools, such as: perf record -e probe:extent_io_init_1 -aR sleep 1 Signed-off-by:

To support probing module init functions, kprobe-tracer allows user to define a probe on non-existed function when it is given with a module name. This also enables user to set a probe on a function on a specific module, even if a same name (but different) function is locally defined in another module. The module name must be in the front of function name and separated by a ':'. e.g. btrfs:btrfs_init_sysfs Signed-off-by:

Enabling function tracer to trace all functions, then load a module and then disable function tracing will cause ftrace to fail. This can also happen by enabling function tracing on the command line: ftrace=function and during boot up, modules are loaded, then you disable function tracing with 'echo nop > current_tracer' you will trigger a bug in ftrace that will shut itself down. The reason is, the new ftrace code keeps ref counts of all ftrace_ops that are registered for tracing. When one or more ftrace_ops are registered, all the records that represent the functions that the ftrace_ops will trace have a ref count incremented. If this ref count is not zero, when the code modification runs, that function will be enabled for tracing. If the ref count is zero, that function will be disabled from tracing. To make sure the accounting was working, FTRACE_WARN_ON()s were added to updating of the ref counts. If the ref count hits its max (> 2^30 ftrace_ops added), or if the ref count goes below zero, a FTRACE_WARN_ON() is triggered which disables all modification of code. Since it is common for ftrace_ops to trace all functions in the kernel, instead of creating > 20,000 hash items for the ftrace_ops, the hash count is just set to zero, and it represents that the ftrace_ops is to trace all functions. This is where the issues arrise. If you enable function tracing to trace all functions, and then add a module, the modules function records do not get the ref count updated. When the function tracer is disabled, all function records ref counts are subtracted. Since the modules never had their ref counts incremented, they go below zero and the FTRACE_WARN_ON() is triggered. The solution to this is rather simple. When modules are loaded, and their functions are added to the the ftrace pool, look to see if any ftrace_ops are registered that trace all functions. And for those, update the ref count for the module function records. Reported-by:

Instead of hw_nmi_watchdog_set_attr() weak function and appropriate x86_pmu::hw_watchdog_set_attr() call we introduce even alias mechanism which allow us to drop this routines completely and isolate quirks of Netburst architecture inside P4 PMU code only. The main idea remains the same though -- to allow nmi-watchdog and perf top run simultaneously. Note the aliasing mechanism applies to generic PERF_COUNT_HW_CPU_CYCLES event only because arbitrary event (say passed as RAW initially) might have some additional bits set inside ESCR register changing the behaviour of event and we can't guarantee anymore that alias event will give the same result. P.S. Thanks a huge to Don and Steven for for testing and early review. Acked-by:

Currently the stack trace per event in ftace is only 8 frames. This can be quite limiting and sometimes useless. Especially when the "ignore frames" is wrong and we also use up stack frames for the event processing itself. Change this to be dynamic by adding a percpu buffer that we can write a large stack frame into and then copy into the ring buffer. For interrupts and NMIs that come in while another event is being process, will only get to use the 8 frame stack. That should be enough as the task that it interrupted will have the full stack frame anyway. Requested-by:

While attempting to create a timechart of boot up I found perf didn't tolerate modules being loaded/unloaded.

Archs that do not implement CONFIG_HAVE_FUNCTION_TRACE_MCOUNT_TEST, will fail the dynamic ftrace selftest. The function tracer has a quick 'off' variable that will prevent the call back functions from being called. This variable is called function_trace_stop. In x86, this is implemented directly in the mcount assembly, but for other archs, an intermediate function is used called ftrace_test_stop_func(). In dynamic ftrace, the function pointer variable ftrace_trace_function is used to update the caller code in the mcount caller. But for archs that do not have CONFIG_HAVE_FUNCTION_TRACE_MCOUNT_TEST set, it only calls ftrace_test_stop_func() instead, which in turn calls __ftrace_trace_function. When more than one ftrace_ops is registered, the function it calls is ftrace_ops_list_func(), which will iterate over all registered ftrace_ops and call the callbacks that have their hash matching. The issue happens when two ftrace_ops are registered for different functions and one is then unregistered. The __ftrace_trace_function is then pointed to the remaining ftrace_ops callback function directly. This mean it will be called for all functions that were registered to trace by both ftrace_ops that were registered. This is not an issue for archs with CONFIG_HAVE_FUNCTION_TRACE_MCOUNT_TEST, because the update of ftrace_trace_function doesn't happen until after all functions have been updated, and then the mcount caller is updated. But for those archs that do use the ftrace_test_stop_func(), the update is immediate. The dynamic selftest fails because it hits this situation, and the ftrace_ops that it registers fails to only trace what it was suppose to and instead traces all other functions. The solution is to delay the setting of __ftrace_trace_function until after all the functions have been updated according to the registered ftrace_ops. Also, function_trace_stop is set during the update to prevent function tracing from calling code that is caused by the function tracer itself. Signed-off-by:

Whenever the hash of the ftrace_ops is updated, the record counts must be balance. This requires disabling the records that are set in the original hash, and then enabling the records that are set in the updated hash. Moving the update into ftrace_hash_move() removes the bug where the hash was updated but the records were not, which results in ftrace triggering a warning and disabling itself because the ftrace_ops filter is updated while the ftrace_ops was registered, and then the failure happens when the ftrace_ops is unregistered. The current code will not trigger this bug, but new code will. Signed-off-by:

Looking at the cause (being the ftrace author helped), I found that the interrupts are disabled before the code modification of mcounts into nops. The interrupts only need to be disabled on start up around this code, not when modules are being loaded. Signed-off-by:

If a function is set to be traced by the set_graph_function, but the option funcgraph-irqs is zero, and the traced function happens to be called from a interrupt, it will not be traced. The point of funcgraph-irqs is to not trace interrupts when we are preempted by an irq, not to not trace functions we want to trace that happen to be *in* a irq. Luckily the current->trace_recursion element is perfect to add a flag to help us be able to trace functions within an interrupt even when we are not tracing interrupts that preempt the trace.

I triggered a triple fault with gcc 4.5.1 because it did not honor the inline annotation to arch_local_save_flags() function and that function was added to the pool of functions traced by the function tracer. When preempt_schedule() called arch_local_save_flags() (called by irqs_disabled()), it was traced, but the first thing the function tracer does is disable preemption. When it enables preemption, the NEED_RESCHED flag will not have been cleared and the preemption check will trigger the call to preempt_schedule() again. Although the dynamic function tracer crashed immediately, the static version of the function tracer (CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE is not set) actually was able to show where the problem was. swapper-1 3.N.. 103885us : arch_local_save_flags <-preempt_schedule swapper-1 3.N.. 103886us : arch_local_save_flags <-preempt_schedule swapper-1 3.N.. 103886us : arch_local_save_flags <-preempt_schedule swapper-1 3.N.. 103887us : arch_local_save_flags <-preempt_schedule swapper-1 3.N.. 103887us : arch_local_save_flags <-preempt_schedule swapper-1 3.N.. 103888us : arch_local_save_flags <-preempt_schedule swapper-1 3.N.. 103888us : arch_local_save_flags <-preempt_schedule It went on for a while before it triple faulted with a corrupted stack. The arch_local_save_flags and arch_local_irq_* functions should not be traced. Even though they are marked as inline, gcc may still make them a function and enable tracing of them. The simple solution is to just mark them as notrace. I had to add the <linux/types.h> for this file to include the notrace tag. Signed-off-by:

The new code that allows different utilities to pick and choose what functions they trace broke the :mod: hook that allows users to trace only functions of a particular module. The reason is that the :mod: hook bypasses the hash that is setup to allow individual users to trace their own functions and uses the global hash directly. But if the global hash has not been set up, it will cause a bug: echo '*:mod:radeon' > /sys/kernel/debug/set_ftrace_filter produces: [drm:drm_mode_getfb] *ERROR* invalid framebuffer id [drm:radeon_crtc_page_flip] *ERROR* failed to reserve new rbo buffer before flip BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffffff8160ec90 IP: [<ffffffff810d9136>] add_hash_entry+0x66/0xd0 PGD 1a05067 PUD 1a09063 PMD 80000000016001e1 Oops: 0003 [#1] SMP Jul 7 04:02:28 phyllis kernel: [55303.858604] CPU 1 Modules linked in: cryptd aes_x86_64 aes_generic binfmt_misc rfcomm bnep ip6table_filter hid radeon r8169 ahci libahci mii ttm drm_kms_helper drm video i2c_algo_bit intel_agp intel_gtt Pid: 10344, comm: bash Tainted: G WC 3.0.0-rc5 #1 Dell Inc.

The "enable" file for the event system can be removed when a module is unloaded and the event system only has events from that module. As the event system nr_events count goes to zero, it may be freed if its ref_count is also set to zero. Like the "filter" file, the "enable" file may be opened by a task and referenced later, after a module has been unloaded and the events for that event system have been removed. Although the "filter" file referenced the event system structure, the "enable" file only references a pointer to the event system name. Since the name is freed when the event system is removed, it is possible that an access to the "enable" file may reference a freed pointer. Update the "enable" file to use the subsystem_open() routine that the "filter" file uses, to keep a reference to the event system structure while the "enable" file is opened.

The event system is freed when its nr_events is set to zero. This happens when a module created an event system and then later the module is removed. Modules may share systems, so the system is allocated when it is created and freed when the modules are unloaded and all the events under the system are removed (nr_events set to zero). The problem arises when a task opened the "filter" file for the system. If the module is unloaded and it removed the last event for that system, the system structure is freed. If the task that opened the filter file accesses the "filter" file after the system has been freed, the system will access an invalid pointer. By adding a ref_count, and using it to keep track of what is using the event system, we can free it after all users are finished with the event system. Cc: <stable@kernel.org> Reported-by:

Merge branch 'tip/perf/core-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-2.6-trace into perf/core

Add an option to perf report/annotate/script to specify which CPUs to operate on. This enables us to take a single system wide profile and analyse each CPU (or group of CPUs) in isolation. This was useful when profiling a multiprocess workload where the bottleneck was on one CPU but this was hidden in the overall profile. Per process and per thread breakdowns didn't help because multiple processes were running on each CPU and no single process consumed an entire CPU. The patch converts the list of CPUs returned by cpu_map__new into a bitmap for fast lookup. I wanted to use -C to be consistent with perf top/record/stat, but unfortunately perf report already uses -C <comms>. v2: Incorporate suggestions from David Ahern: - Added -c to perf script - Check that SAMPLE_CPU is set when -c is used - Update documentation v3: Create perf_session__cpu_bitmap() Signed-off-by:
