List heads are currently allocated way down the function chain in __add_event and add_tracepoint and then freed when the scanner code calls parse_events_update_lists. Be more explicit with where memory is allocated and who should free it. With this patch the list_head is allocated in the scanner code and freed when the scanner code calls parse_events_update_lists.

Function should only be freeing the entries in the list in case of failure, as those were allocated there, not the list_head itself. Signed-off-by:

Power7 supports over 530 different perf events but only a small subset of these can be specified by name, for the remaining events, we must specify them by their raw code: perf stat -e r2003c <application> This patch makes all the POWER7 events available in sysfs. So we can instead specify these as: perf stat -e 'cpu/PM_CMPLU_STALL_DFU/' <application> where PM_CMPLU_STALL_DFU is the r2003c in previous example. Before this patch is applied, the size of power7-pmu.o is: $ size arch/powerpc/perf/power7-pmu.o text data bss dec hex filename 3073 2720 0 5793 16a1 arch/powerpc/perf/power7-pmu.o and after the patch is applied, it is: $ size arch/powerpc/perf/power7-pmu.o text data bss dec hex filename 15950 31112 0 47062 b7d6 arch/powerpc/perf/power7-pmu.o For the run time overhead, I use two scripts, one is "event_name.sh", which contains 50 event names, it looks like: # ./perf record -e 'cpu/PM_CMPLU_STALL_DFU/' -e ..... /bin/sleep 1 the other one is named "event_code.sh" which use corresponding events raw code instead of events names, it looks like: # ./perf record -e r2003c -e ...... /bin/sleep 1 below is the result.

There's no point of having out_delete label with perf_session__delete call within __cmd_report function, because it's called at the end of the cmd_report function. The speed up due to commenting out the perf_session__delete at the end does not seem relevant anymore. Measured speedup for ~1GB data file with 222466 FORKS events is around 0.5%. $ perf report -i perf.data.delete -P perf_session__delete -s parent + 99.51% [other] + 0.49% perf_session__delete Signed-off-by:

Most tracepoint events already have their system and event name in ->name field so that searching whole event tracing directory for each evsel to match given id is suboptimal. Factor out this routine into tracepoint_name_to_path(). In case of en invalid name, it'll try to find path using id again. Signed-off-by:

The CPU map is in an "empty" (or not-applicable) state when monitoring specific threads. cpu_map__all() returns true if the CPU map is in this empty state (i.e for the 'empty_cpu_map' or if we created the map via cpu_map__dummy_new(). The name, cpu_map__all(), is misleading, because even when monitoring all CPUs, (eg: perf record -a), cpu_map__all() returns false. Rename cpu_map__all() to cpu_map__empty(). Signed-off-by:

Therefore solve it by making the entire RCU read side non-preemptible. Also pull out the retry from under the non-preempt to play nice with RT. Reported-by:Paul E.

The '!ctx->is_active' check has a valid scenario, so there's no need for the warning. The reason is that there's a time window between the 'ctx->is_active' check in the perf_event_enable() function and the __perf_event_enable() function having: - IRQs on - ctx->lock unlocked where the task could be killed and 'ctx' deactivated by perf_event_exit_task(), ending up with the warning below. So remove the WARN_ON_ONCE() check and add comments to explain it all.

Currently when the child context for inherited events is created, it's based on the pmu object of the first event of the parent context. This is wrong for the following scenario: - HW context having HW and SW event - HW event got removed (closed) - SW event stays in HW context as the only event and its pmu is used to clone the child context The issue starts when the cpu context object is touched based on the pmu context object (__get_cpu_context). In this case the HW context will work with SW cpu context ending up with following WARN below. Fixing this by using parent context pmu object to clone from child context.

Among other things, the following: commit 31160d7f Date: Tue Jan 8 16:22:36 2013 -0500 perf tools: Fix GNU make v3.80 compatibility issue attempts to aid the user by tapping into an existing error message, as described in the commit message: ... Also fix an issue where _get_attempt was called with only one argument. This prevented the error message from printing the name of the variable that can be used to fix the problem. or more precisely: -$(if $($(1)),$(call _ge_attempt,$($(1)),$(1)),$(call _ge_attempt,$(2))) +$(if $($(1)),$(call _ge_attempt,$($(1)),$(1)),$(call _ge_attempt,$(2),$(1))) However, The "missing" argument was in fact missing on purpose; it's absence is a signal that the error message should be skipped, because the failure would be due to the default value, not any user-supplied value. This can be seen in how `_ge_attempt' uses `gea_err' (in the config/utilities.mak file): _ge_attempt = $(if $(get-executable),$(get-executable),$(_gea_warn)$(call _gea_err,$(2))) _gea_warn = $(warning The path '$(1)' is not executable.) _gea_err = $(if $(1),$(error Please set '$(1)' appropriately)) That is, because the argument is no longer missing, the value `$(1)' (associated with `_gea_err') always evaluates to true, thus always triggering the error condition that is meant to be reserved for only the case when a user explicitly supplies an invalid value. Concretely, the result is a regression in the Makefile's configuration of python support; rather than gracefully disable support when the relevant executables cannot be found according to default values, the build process halts in error as though the user explicitly supplied the values. This new commit simply reverts the offending one-line change. Reported-by:

The tag of the perf version is wrongly determined, always the latest tag is taken regardless of the HEAD commit: $ perf --version perf version 3.9.rc8.gd7f5d3 $ git describe d7f5d3 v3.9-rc7-154-gd7f5d33 $ head -n 4 Makefile VERSION = 3 PATCHLEVEL = 9 SUBLEVEL = 0 EXTRAVERSION = -rc7 In other cases no tag might be found. This patch fixes this. This new implementation handles also the case if there are no tags at all found in the git repo but there is a commit id. Signed-off-by:

This patch fixes a problem reported by Andi Kleen on perf stat when measuring uncore events: # perf stat --per-socket -e uncore_pcu/event=0x0/ -I1000 -a sleep 2 It would not report counts for the second socket. That was due to a cpu mapping bug in print_aggr(). This patch also fixes the socket numbering bug for <not counted> events. Reported-by:

When "perf record" was used on a large machine with a lot of CPUs, the perf post-processing time (the time after the workload was done until the perf command itself exited) could take a lot of minutes and even hours depending on how large the resulting perf.data file was. While running AIM7 1500-user high_systime workload on a 80-core x86-64 system with a 3.9 kernel (with only the -s -a options used), the workload itself took about 2 minutes to run and the perf.data file had a size of 1108.746 MB. However, the post-processing step took more than 10 minutes. With a gprof-profiled perf binary, the time spent by perf was as follows: % cumulative self self total time seconds seconds calls s/call s/call name 96.90 822.10 822.10 192156 0.00 0.00 dsos__find 0.81 828.96 6.86 172089958 0.00 0.00 rb_next 0.41 832.44 3.48 48539289 0.00 0.00 rb_erase So 97% (822 seconds) of the time was spent in a single dsos_find() function. After analyzing the call-graph data below: ----------------------------------------------- 0.00 822.12 192156/192156 map__new [6] [7] 96.9 0.00 822.12 192156 vdso__dso_findnew [7] 822.10 0.00 192156/192156 dsos__find [8] 0.01 0.00 192156/192156 dsos__add [62] 0.01 0.00 192156/192366 dso__new [61] 0.00 0.00 1/45282525 memdup [31] 0.00 0.00 192156/192230 dso__set_long_name [91] ----------------------------------------------- 822.10 0.00 192156/192156 vdso__dso_findnew [7] [8] 96.9 822.10 0.00 192156 dsos__find [8] ----------------------------------------------- It was found that the vdso__dso_findnew() function failed to locate VDSO__MAP_NAME ("[vdso]") in the dso list and have to insert a new entry at the end for 192156 times. This problem is due to the fact that there are 2 types of name in the dso entry - short name and long name. The initial dso__new() adds "[vdso]" to both the short and long names. After that, vdso__dso_findnew() modifies the long name to something like /tmp/perf-vdso.so-NoXkDj. The dsos__find() function only compares the long name. As a result, the same vdso entry is duplicated many time in the dso list. This bug increases memory consumption as well as slows the symbol processing time to a crawl. To resolve this problem, the dsos__find() function interface was modified to enable searching either the long name or the short name. The vdso__dso_findnew() will now search only the short name while the other call sites search for the long name as before. With this change, the cpu time of perf was reduced from 848.38s to 15.77s and dsos__find() only accounted for 0.06% of the total time. 0.06 15.73 0.01 192151 0.00 0.00 dsos__find Signed-off-by:Waiman Long <Waiman.Long@hp.com> Acked-by:

In the Power7 PMU guide: https://www.power.org/documentation/commonly-used-metrics-for-performance-analysis/ PM_BRU_MPRED is referred to as PM_BR_MPRED. It fixed the typo by changing the name of the event in kernel and documentation accordingly. This patch changes the ABI, there are some reasons I think it's ok: - It is relatively new interface, specific to the Power7 platform. - No tools that we know of actually use this interface at this point (none are listed near the interface). - Users of this interface (eg oprofile users migrating to perf) would be more used to the "PM_BR_MPRED" rather than "PM_BRU_MPRED". - These are in the ABI/testing at this point rather than ABI/stable, so hoping we have some wiggle room.

Currently we have symbol_conf.exclude_other being set as true every time so the -x/--exclude-other has nothing to do. Also we have no way to see the data with symbol_conf.exclude_other being false which is useful sometimes. Fixing it by making symbol_conf.exclude_other false by default. 1) Example without -x option: $ perf report -i perf.data.delete -p perf_session__delete -s parent + 99.91% [other] + 0.08% perf_session__delete + 0.00% perf_session__delete_dead_threads + 0.00% perf_session__delete_threads 2) Example with -x option: $ ./perf report -i perf.data.delete -p perf_session__delete -s parent -x + 96.22% perf_session__delete + 1.89% perf_session__delete_dead_threads + 1.89% perf_session__delete_threads In Example 1) we get the sorted out data together with the rest "[other]". This could help us estimate how much time we spent in the sorted data. In Example 2) the total is just the sorted data. Signed-off-by:

When perf tries to start a workload, it relies on a pipe which the workload was blocked for reading. After closing the pipe on the parent, the workload (child) can start the actual work via exec(). However, if another process was forked after creating a workload, this mechanism cannot work since the other process (child) also inherits the pipe, so that closing the pipe in parent cannot unblock the workload. Fix it by using explicit write call can then closing it. For similar reason, the pipe fd on parent should be marked as CLOEXEC so that it can be closed after another child exec'ed. Signed-off-by:

This patch fixes a problem with perf stat whereby on termination it may send a SIGTERM signal to random processes on systems with high PID recycling. I got some actual bug reports on this. There is race between the SIGCHLD and sig_atexit() handlers. This patch addresses this problem by clearing child_pid in the SIGCHLD handler. Signed-off-by:
