Caching dso data file descriptors to avoid expensive re-opens especially during DWARF unwind. We keep dsos data file descriptors open until their count reaches the half of the current fd open limit (RLIMIT_NOFILE). In this case we close file descriptor of the first opened dso object. We've got overall speedup (~27% for my workload) of report: 'perf report --stdio -i perf-test.data' (3 runs) (perf-test.data size was around 12GB) current code: 545,640,944,228 cycles ( +- 0.53% ) 785,255,798,320 instructions ( +- 0.03% ) 366.340910010 seconds time elapsed ( +- 3.65% ) after change: 435,895,036,114 cycles ( +- 0.26% ) 636,790,271,176 instructions ( +- 0.04% ) 266.481463387 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.13% ) Acked-by:Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@kernel.org> Cc: Corey Ashford <cjashfor@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Cc: Jean Pihet <jean.pihet@linaro.org> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1401892622-30848-7-git-send-email-jolsa@kernel.orgSigned-off-by:

When configuring event perf checked a wrong condition that user specified both of freq (-F) and period (-c) or the event has no default value. This worked because most of events don't have default value and only tracepoint events have default of 1 (and it's not desirable to change it for those events). However, Andi's downloadable event patch changes the situation so it cannot change the value for those events. Fix it by allowing override the default value if user gives one of the options. $ perf record -a -e uops_retired.all -F 4000 sleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.325 MB perf.data (~14185 samples) ] $ perf evlist -F cpu/uops_retired.all/: sample_freq=4000 Signed-off-by:

Fix an error message when failed to find given address in --vars mode. Without this fix, perf probe -V doesn't show the final "Error" message if it fails to find given source line. Moreover, it tells it fails to find "variables" instead of the source line. ----- # perf probe -V foo@bar Failed to find variables at foo@bar (0) ----- The result also shows mysterious error code. Actually the error returns 0 or -ENOENT means that it just fails to find the address of given source line. (0 means there is no matching address, and -ENOENT means there is an entry(DIE) but it has no instance, e.g. an empty inlined function) This fixes it to show what happened and the final error message as below. ----- # perf probe -V foo@bar Failed to find the address of foo@bar Error: Failed to show vars. ----- Signed-off-by: -

Show error code and description only in verbose mode if 'perf probe' command failed. Current 'perf probe' shows error code with final error message, and that is meaningless for many users.

(-2) ----- With this patch, normally the message doesn't show the misterious error number: ----- # perf probe -a do_execve@hoge Probe point 'do_execve@hoge' not found.

In perf's 'mem-mode', one can get access to a whole bunch of details specific to a particular sample instruction. A bunch of those details relate to the data address. One interesting thing you can do with data addresses is to convert them into a unique cacheline they belong too. Organizing these data cachelines into similar groups and sorting them can reveal cache contention. This patch creates an alogorithm based on various sample details that can help group entries together into data cachelines and allows 'perf report' to sort on it. The algorithm relies on having proper mmap2 support in the kernel to help determine if the memory map the data address belongs to is private to a pid or globally shared. The alogortithm is as follows: o group cpumodes together o group entries with discovered maps together o sort on major, minor, inode and inode generation numbers o if userspace anon, then sort on pid o sort on cachelines based on data addresses The 'dcacheline' sort option in 'perf report' only works in 'mem-mode'. Sample output: # # Samples: 206 of event 'cpu/mem-loads/pp' # Total weight : 2534 # Sort order : dcacheline,pid # # Overhead Samples Data Cacheline Command: Pid # ........ ............ ...................................................................... .................. # 13.22% 1 [k] 0xffff88042f08ebc0 swapper: 0 9.27% 1 [k] 0xffff88082e8cea80 swapper: 0 3.59% 2 [k] 0xffffffff819ba180 swapper: 0 0.32% 1 [k] arch_trigger_all_cpu_backtrace_handler_na.23901+0xffffffffffffffe0 swapper: 0 0.32% 1 [k] timekeeper_seq+0xfffffffffffffff8 swapper: 0 Note: Added a '+1' to symlen size in hists__calc_col_len to prevent the next column from prematurely tabbing over and mis-aligning.

Coming in v3.16, trace events will be able to save bitmasks in raw format in the ring buffer and output it with the __get_bitmask() macro. In order for userspace tools to parse this, it must be able to handle the __get_bitmask() call and be able to convert the data that's in the ring buffer into a nice bitmask format. The output is similar to what the kernel uses to print bitmasks, with a comma separator every 4 bytes (8 characters). This allows for cpumasks to also be saved efficiently. The first user is the thermal:thermal_power_limit event which has the following output: thermal_power_limit: cpus=0000000f freq=1900000 cdev_state=0 power=5252 Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20140506132238.22e136d1@gandalf.local.homeSuggested-by:

The traceevent plugins allows developers to have their events print out information that is more advanced than what can be achieved by the trace event format files. As these plugins are used on the userspace side of the tracing tools, it is only logical that the tools should be able to produce different types of output for the events. The types of events still need to be defined by the plugins thus we need a way to pass information from the tool to the plugin to specify what type of information to be shown. Not only does the information need to be passed by the tool to plugin, but the plugin also requires a way to notify the tool of what options it can provide. This builds the plugin option infrastructure that is taken from trace-cmd that is used to allow plugins to produce different output based on the options specified by the tool. Signed-off-by:

perf tools like 'perf report' can aggregate samples by comm strings, which generally works. However, there are other potential use-cases. For example, to pair up 'calls' with 'returns' accurately (from branch events like Intel BTS) it is necessary to identify whether the process has exec'd. Although a comm event is generated when an 'exec' happens it is also generated whenever the comm string is changed on a whim (e.g. by prctl PR_SET_NAME). This patch adds a flag to the comm event to differentiate one case from the other. In order to determine whether the kernel supports the new flag, a selection bit named 'exec' is added to struct perf_event_attr. The bit does nothing but will cause perf_event_open() to fail if the bit is set on kernels that do not have it defined. Signed-off-by:
