This new command is a wrapper on top of perf record and perf report to make it easier to configure for memory access profiling. To record loads: $ perf mem -t load rec ..... To record stores: $ perf mem -t store rec ..... To get the report: $ perf mem -t load rep Signed-off-by:

This patch adds the sorting and histogram support functions to enable profiling of memory accesses. The following sorting orders are added: - symbol_daddr: data address symbol (or raw address) - dso_daddr: data address shared object - locked: access uses locked transaction - tlb : TLB access - mem : memory level of the access (L1, L2, L3, RAM, ...) - snoop: access snoop mode Signed-off-by:

perf record has a new option -W that enables weightened sampling. Add sorting support in top/report for the average weight per sample and the total weight sum. This allows to both compare relative cost per event and the total cost over the measurement period. Add the necessary glue to perf report, record and the library. v2: Merge with new hist refactoring. v3: Fix manpage. Remove value check. Rename global_weight to weight and weight to local_weight. v4: Readd sort keys to manpage v5: Move weight to end v6: Move weight to template v7: Rename weight key. Original patch from Andi modified by Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> to include ONLY the weight supporting code and apply to pristine 3.8.0-rc4. Signed-off-by:

Type of mapping was lost and made it hard for a tool to distinguish code vs. data mmaps. Perf has the ability to distinguish the two. Use a bit in the header->misc bitmask to keep track of the mmap type. If PERF_RECORD_MISC_MMAP_DATA is set then the mapping is not executable (!VM_EXEC). If not set, then the mapping is executable.

This patch adds support for PEBS Precise Store which is available on Intel Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge processors. To use Precise store, the proper PEBS event must be used: mem_trans_retired:precise_stores. For the perf tool, the generic mem-stores event exported via sysfs can be used directly. Signed-off-by:

Stephane Eranian authored
This patch adds support for memory profiling using the PEBS Load Latency facility. Load accesses are sampled by HW and the instruction address, data address, load latency, data source, tlb, locked information can be saved in the sampling buffer if using the PERF_SAMPLE_COST (for latency), PERF_SAMPLE_ADDR, PERF_SAMPLE_DATA_SRC types. To enable PEBS Load Latency, users have to use the model specific event: - on NHM/WSM: MEM_INST_RETIRED:LATENCY_ABOVE_THRESHOLD - on SNB/IVB: MEM_TRANS_RETIRED:LATENCY_ABOVE_THRESHOLD To make things easier, this patch also exports a generic alias via sysfs: mem-loads. It export the right event encoding based on the host CPU and can be used directly by the perf tool. Loosely based on Intel's Lin Ming patch posted on LKML in July 2011. Signed-off-by:

This patch adds PERF_SAMPLE_DATA_SRC. PERF_SAMPLE_DATA_SRC collects the data source, i.e., where did the data associated with the sampled instruction come from. Information is stored in a perf_mem_data_src structure. It contains opcode, mem level, tlb, snoop, lock information, subject to availability in hardware. Signed-off-by:

For some events it's useful to weight sample with a hardware provided number. This expresses how expensive the action the sample represent was. This allows the profiler to scale the samples to be more informative to the programmer. There is already the period which is used similarly, but it means something different, so I chose to not overload it. Instead a new sample type for WEIGHT is added. Can be used for multiple things. Initially it is used for TSX abort costs and profiling by memory latencies (so to make expensive load appear higher up in the histograms). The concept is quite generic and can be extended to many other kinds of events or architectures, as long as the hardware provides suitable auxillary values. In principle it could be also used for software tracepoints. This adds the generic glue. A new optional sample format for a 64-bit weight value. Signed-off-by:

This patch adds a flags field to each event constraint. It can be used to store event specific features which can then later be used by scheduling code or low-level x86 code. The flags are propagated into event->hw.flags during the get_event_constraint() call. They are cleared during the put_event_constraint() call. This mechanism is going to be used by the PEBS-LL patches. It avoids defining yet another table to hold event specific information. Signed-off-by:

This patch extends Jiri's changes to make generic events mapping visible via sysfs. The patch extends the mechanism to non-generic events by allowing the mappings to be hardcoded in strings. This mechanism will be used by the PEBS-LL patch later on. Signed-off-by:

This patch adds the --per-core option to perf stat. This option is used to aggregate system-wide counts on a per physical core basis. On processors with hyperthreading, this means counts of all HT threads running on a physical core are aggregated. This mode is useful to find imblance between physical cores running an uniform workload. Cores are identified by socket: S0-C1, means physical core 1 on socket 0. Note that cores are identified using their physical core id, thus their numbering may not be continuous. Per core aggregation can be combined with interval printing: # perf stat -a --per-core -I 1000 -e cycles sleep 1000 # time core cpus counts events 1.000090030 S0-C0 1 4,765,747 cycles 1.000090030 S0-C1 1 5,580,647 cycles 1.000090030 S0-C2 1 221,181 cycles 1.000090030 S0-C3 1 266,092 cycles Signed-off-by: -

Refactor aggregation code by introducing a single aggr_mode variable and an enum for aggregation. Also refactor cpumap code having to do with cpu to socket mappings. All in preparation for extended modes, such as cpu -> core. Also fix socket aggregation and ensure that sockets are printed in increasing order. Signed-off-by:

Currently kprobes check whether the copied instruction modifies IF (interrupt flag) on each probe hit. This results not only in introducing overhead but also involving inat_get_opcode_attribute into the kprobes hot path, and it can cause an infinite recursive call (and kernel panic in the end). Actually, since the copied instruction itself can never be modified on the buffer, it is needless to analyze the instruction on every probe hit. To fix this issue, we check it only once when registering probe and store the result on ainsn->if_modifier. Reported-by:

Because hash_64() is called from the get_kprobe() inside int3 handler, kernel causes int3 recursion and crashes if kprobes user puts a probe on it. Usually hash_64() is inlined into caller function, but in some cases, it has instances by gcc's interprocedural constant propagation. This patch uses __always_inline instead of inline to prevent gcc from doing such things. Reported-by:
