      perf sched: Fix build failure on sparc · 2cd9046c
      David Miller authored
      Here, tvec->tv_usec is "unsigned int" not "unsigned long".
      
      Since the type is different on every platform, it's probably
      best to just use long printf formats and cast.

      perf bench: Add "all" pseudo subsystem and "all" pseudo suite · 2044279d
      Hitoshi Mitake authored
      This patch adds a new "all" pseudo subsystem and an "all" pseudo
      suite. These are for testing all subsystem and its all suite, or
      all suite of one subsystem.
      
      (This patch also contains a few trivial comment fixes for
      bench/* and output style fixes. I judged that there are no
      necessity to make them into individual patch.)
      
      Example of use:
      
      | % ./perf bench sched all                      # Test all suites of sched subsystem
      | # Running sched/messaging benchmark...
      | # 20 sender and receiver processes per group
      | # 10 groups == 400 processes run
      |
      |      Total time: 0.414 [sec]
      |
      | # Running sched/pipe benchmark...

      That does all the initialization boilerplate, opening the file,
      reading the header, checking if it is valid, etc.
      
      And that will as well have the threads list, kmap (now) global
      variable, etc, so that we can handle two (or more) perf.data files
      describing sessions to compare.

      perf symbols: Allow lookups by symbol name too · 79406cd7
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      Configurable via symbol_conf.sort_by_name, so that the cost of an
      extra rb_node on all 'struct symbol' instances is not paid by tools
      that only want to decode addresses.
      
      How to use it:
      
      	symbol_conf.sort_by_name = true;
      	symbol_init(&symbol_conf);
      
      	struct map *map = map_groups__find_by_name(kmaps, MAP__VARIABLE, "[kernel.kallsyms]");
      
      	if (map == NULL) {
      		pr_err("couldn't find map!\n");
      		kernel_maps__fprintf(stdout);
      	} else {
      		struct symbol *sym = map__find_symbol_by_name(map, sym_filter, NULL);
      		if (sym == NULL)
      			pr_err("couldn't find symbol %s!\n", sym_filter);
      		else
      			pr_info("symbol %s: %#Lx-%#Lx \n", sym_filter, sym->start, sym->end);
      	}
      
      Looking over the vmlinux/kallsyms is common enough that I'll add a
      variable to the upcoming struct perf_session to avoid the need to
      use map_groups__find_by_name to get the main vmlinux/kallsyms map.
      
      The above example looks on the 'variable' symtab, but it is just
      like that for the functions one.
      
      Also the sort operation is done when we first use
      map__find_symbol_by_name, in a lazy way.

      perf symbols: Add support for 'variable' symtabs · f1dfa0b1
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      Example:
      
      {
      	u64 addr = strtoull(sym_filter, NULL, 16);
      	struct map *map = map_groups__find(kmaps, MAP__VARIABLE, addr);
      
      	if (map == NULL)
      		pr_err("couldn't find map!\n");
      	else {
      		struct symbol *sym = map__find_symbol(map, addr, NULL);
      		if (sym == NULL)
      			pr_err("couldn't find addr!\n");
      		else
      			pr_info("addr %#Lx is in %s global var\n", addr, sym->name);
      	}
      	exit(0);
      }
      
      Added just after symbol__init() call in 'perf top', then:
      
      {
              u64 addr = strtoull(sym_filter, NULL, 16);
              struct map *map = map_groups__find(kmaps, MAP__VARIABLE, addr);
      
              if (map == NULL)
                      pr_err("couldn't find map!\n");
              else {
                      struct symbol *sym = map__find_symbol(map, addr, NULL);
                      if (sym == NULL)
                              pr_err("couldn't find addr!\n");
                      else
                              pr_info("addr %#Lx is in %s global var\n", addr, sym->name);
              }
              exit(0);
      }

      [root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]#
      [root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]# perf top -s ffffffff81782ce0 --vmlinux OFF
      The file OFF cannot be used, trying to use /proc/kallsyms...addr 0xffffffff81782ce0 is in sched_domains_mutex global var
      [root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]# perf top -s ffffffff818235bc --vmlinux OFF
      The file OFF cannot be used, trying to use /proc/kallsyms...addr 0xffffffff818235bc is in sched_clock_stable global var
      [root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]#
      
      So it works with both /proc/kallsyms and with ELF symtabs, either
      the one on the vmlinux explicitely passed via --vmlinux or in one
      in the vmlinux_path that matches the buildid for the running kernel
      or the one found in the buildid header section in a perf.data file.

      perf symbols: Rename kthreads to kmaps, using another abstraction for it · 9958e1f0
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      Using a struct thread instance just to hold the kernel space maps
      (vmlinux + modules) is overkill and confuses people trying to
      understand the perf symbols abstractions.
      
      The kernel maps are really present in all threads, i.e. the kernel
      is a library, not a separate thread.
      
      So introduce the 'map_groups' abstraction and use it for the kernel
      maps, now in the kmaps global variable.
      
      It, in turn, will move, together with the threads list to the
      perf_file abstraction, so that we can support multiple perf_file
      instances, needed by perf diff.

      perf sched: Fix for getting task's execution time · c0c9e721
      Xiao Guangrong authored
      In current code, task's execute time is got by reading
      '/proc/<pid>/sched' file, it's wrong if the task is created
      by pthread_create(), because every thread task has same pid.
      
      This way also has two demerits:
      
       1: 'perf sched replay' can't work if the kernel is not
          compiled with the 'CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG' option
      
       2: perf tool should depend on proc file system
      
      So, this patch uses PERF_COUNT_SW_TASK_CLOCK to get task's
      execution time instead of reading /proc file.
      
      Changelog v2 -> v3:
      use PERF_COUNT_SW_TASK_CLOCK instead of rusage() as Ingo's
      suggestion

      tracing/kprobes: Fix field creation's bad error handling · 822a6961
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      When we define the common event fields in kprobe, we invert the error
      handling and return immediately in case of success. Then we omit
      to define specific kprobes fields (ip and nargs), and specific
      kretprobes fields (func, ret_ip, nargs). And we only define them
      when we fail to create common fields.
      
      The most visible consequence is that we can't create filter for
      k(ret)probes specific fields.
      
      This patch re-invert the success/error handling to fix it.

      perf_event: Allocate children's perf_event_ctxp at the right time · b93f7978
      Xiao Guangrong authored
      In current code, children task will allocate memory for
      'child->perf_event_ctxp' if the parent is counted, we can
      do it only if the parent allowed children inherit it.
      
      It can save memory and reduce overhead.

      hw-breakpoints: Modify breakpoints without unregistering them · 44234adc
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      Currently, when ptrace needs to modify a breakpoint, like disabling
      it, changing its address, type or len, it calls
      modify_user_hw_breakpoint(). This latter will perform the heavy and
      racy task of unregistering the old breakpoint and registering a new
      one.
      
      This is racy as someone else might steal the reserved breakpoint
      slot under us, which is undesired as the breakpoint is only
      supposed to be modified, sometimes in the middle of a debugging
      workflow. We don't want our slot to be stolen in the middle.
      
      So instead of unregistering/registering the breakpoint, just
      disable it while we modify its breakpoint fields and re-enable it
      after if necessary.

      perf probe: Fix add-probe command syntax without --add option · d1bde3f7
      Masami Hiramatsu authored
      Fix add-probe command syntax without --add option.
      perf-probe supports add-probe command without --add
      option. But it treats each argument as an event definition.
      e.g.
      
      perf probe func arg1 arg2
      
       is interpreted as
      
      perf probe --add func --add arg1 --add arg2
      
      But it may be useless in many cases.
      
      This patch fixes this syntax to fold those arguments into
      one event definition if there is no --add option. With this
      change, above command is interpreted as below;
      
      perf probe --add "func arg1 arg2"
