Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/core Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo: User visible changes: - Use the alternative with the most descriptive filename containing a vmlinux file for a given build-id, providing a better title line for tools such as 'annotate'. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - Remove help messages about previous right and left arrow keybidings, that were repurposed for horizontal scrolling. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - Inform how to reset the symbol filter in the hists browser. (top & report) (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - Add 'm' key for context menu display in the hists browser, that became inacessible with the repurposing of the right arrow key for horizontal scrolling. (Namhyung Kim) - Use debug_frame for callchains if eh_frame is unusable. (Rabin Vicent) Build fixes: - Fix strict-aliasing breakage with gcc 4.4 in the READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE code adopted from the kernel tree, that builds with -fno-strict-aliasing while tools/perf/ uses -Wstrict-aliasing=3. (Jiri Olsa) - Fix unw_word_t pointer casts in code using libunwind for callchains, fixing the build in at least 32-bit MIPS systems. (Rabin Vicent) - Work around cross compile build problems related to fixdep. (Jiri Olsa) Signed-off-by:

He Kuang the new fixdep tool breaks cross compiling. The reason is it wouldn't get compiled under host arch, but under cross arch and failed to run. We need to add support for host side tools build, meanwhile disabling fixdep usage for cross arch builds. Reported-by:

Vinson reported build breakage with gcc 4.4 due to strict-aliasing. CC util/annotate.o cc1: warnings being treated as errors util/annotate.c: In function ‘disasm__purge’: linux-next/tools/include/linux/compiler.h:66: error: dereferencing pointer ‘res.41’ does break strict-aliasing rules The reason is READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE code we took from kernel sources. They intentionaly break aliasing rules. While this is ok for kernel because it's built with -fno-strict-aliasing, it breaks perf which is build with -Wstrict-aliasing=3. Using extra __may_alias__ type to allow aliasing in this case. Reported-and-tested-by:

With horizontal scrolling, the left/right arrow keys are used to scroll columns and ENTER/ESC keys are used to enter/exit menu. However if callchain is recorded, the ENTER key is used to toggle callchain expansion so there's no way to display menu. Use 'm' key to display the menu for this case. Signed-off-by:

Sukadev Bhattiprolu authored
perf_regs.c does not get built on Powerpc as CONFIG_PERF_REGS is false. So the weak definition for 'sample_regs_masks' doesn't get picked up. Adding perf_regs.o to util/Build unconditionally, exposes a redefinition error for 'perf_reg_value()' function (due to the static inline version in util/perf_regs.h). So use #ifdef HAVE_PERF_REGS_SUPPORT' around that function. Signed-off-by:

This reverts commit 998ef75d. The commit itself does not appear to be buggy per se, but it is exposing a bug in ext4 (and Ted thinks ext3 too, but we solved that by getting rid of it). It's too late in the release cycle to really worry about this, even if Dave Hansen has a patch that may actually fix the underlying ext4 problem. We can (and should) revisit this for the next release. The problem is that moving the prefaulting later now exposes a special case with partially successful writes that isn't handled correctly. And the prefaulting likely isn't normally even that much of a performance issue - it looks like at least one reason Dave saw this in his performance tests is that he also ran them on Skylake that now supports the new SMAP code, which makes the normally very cheap user space prefaulting noticeably more expensive.

This patch adds new PMUs to support cstate related free running (read-only) counters. These counters may be used simultaneously by other tools, such as turbostat. However, it still make sense to implement them in perf. Because we can conveniently collect them together with other events, and allow to use them from tools without special MSR access code. These counters include CORE_C*_RESIDENCY and PKG_C*_RESIDENCY. According to counters' scope and category, two PMUs are registered with the perf_event core subsystem. - 'cstate_core': The counter is available for each physical core. The counters include CORE_C*_RESIDENCY. - 'cstate_pkg': The counter is available for each physical package. The counters include PKG_C*_RESIDENCY. The events are exposed in sysfs for use by perf stat and other tools. The files are: /sys/devices/cstate_core/events/c*-residency /sys/devices/cstate_pkg/events/c*-residency These events only support system-wide mode counting. The /sys/devices/cstate_*/cpumask file can be used by tools to figure out which CPUs to monitor by default. The PMU type (attr->type) is dynamically allocated and is available from /sys/devices/core_misc/type and /sys/device/cstate_*/type. Sampling is not supported. Here is an example. - To caculate the fraction of time when the core is running in C6 state CORE_C6_time% = CORE_C6_RESIDENCY / TSC # perf stat -x, -e"cstate_core/c6-residency/,msr/tsc/" -C0 -- taskset -c 0 sleep 5 11838820015,,cstate_core/c6-residency/,5175919658,100.00 11877130740,,msr/tsc/,5175922010,100.00 For sleep, 99.7% of time we ran in C6 state. # perf stat -x, -e"cstate_core/c6-residency/,msr/tsc/" -C0 -- taskset -c 0 busyloop 1253316,,cstate_core/c6-residency/,4360969154,100.00 10012635248,,msr/tsc/,4360972366,100.00 For busyloop, 0.01% of time we ran in C6 state.

With commit 633d6f17 (x86/xen: prepare p2m list for memory hotplug) the P2M may be sized to accomdate a much larger amount of memory than the domain currently has. When saving a domain, the toolstack must scan all the P2M looking for populated pages. This results in a performance regression due to the unnecessary scanning. Instead of reporting (via shared_info) the maximum possible size of the P2M, hint at the last PFN which might be populated. This hint is increased as new leaves are added to the P2M (in the expectation that they will be used for populated entries). Signed-off-by:

(Jiri Olsa) - Fail properly when pattern matching fails to find a tracepoint, i.e. '-e non:existent' was being correctly handled, with a proper error message about that not being a valid event, but '-e non:existent*' wasn't, fix it. (Jiri Olsa) Infrastructure changes: - Separate arch specific entries in 'perf test' and add an 'Intel CQM' one to be fun on x86 only. (Matt Fleming) Signed-off-by:

Currently we dont fail properly when pattern matching fails to find any tracepoint. Current behaviour: $ perf record -e 'sched:krava*' sleep 1 WARNING: event parser found nothinginvalid or unsupported event: 'sched:krava*' Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>] or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>] This patch change: $ perf record -e 'sched:krava*' sleep 1 event syntax error: 'sched:krava*' \___ unknown tracepoint Error: File /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/krava* not found. Hint: Perhaps this kernel misses some CONFIG_ setting to enable this feature?. Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>] or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>] Reported-by:Daniel Bristot de Oliveira <bristot@redhat.com> Signed-off-by:

Do it using the recently introduced ui_brower scrolling mode, setting ui_browser.columns to the number of sort columns and then, when rendering each line, skipping as many initial columns as the user pressed the right arrow. As the user presses the left arrow, the ui_browser code will remove the scrolling counter and the left scrolling takes place. The right arrow key was an alias for ENTER, so people used to press it may get a bit annoyed at first, sorry! Ditto for ESC and the left key. Callchains can be left as is or we can, when rendering the Symbol column, store the at what position on the screen it is and then using ui_browser__gotorc() to print it from there, i.e. the callchain would move around with the symbol. Leaving it as is, i.e. at a fixed position, close to the left, saves precious screen real state for it, so I'm inclined to leave it as is now.

If the classes derived from ui_browser want to do some sort of horizontal scrolling, they have just to set ui_browser->columns to the number of columns available. Those columns can be the number of characters on the screen, if what is desired is to scroll character by character, or the number of columns in a spreadsheet like table. This is what the hist_browser will do, skipping ui_browser->horiz_scroll columns when rendering each of its lines.

Peter reports that it's possible to trigger a WARN_ON_ONCE() in the Intel CQM code by combining a hardware event and an Intel CQM (software) event into a group. Unfortunately, the perf tools are not able to create this bundle and we need to manually construct a test case. For posterity, record Peter's proof of concept test case in tools/perf so that it presents a model for how we can perform architecture specific tests, or "arch tests", in perf in the future. The particular issue triggered in the test case is that when the counter for the hardware event overflows and triggers a PMI we'll read both the hardware event and the software event counters. Unfortunately, for CQM that involves performing an IPI to read the CQM event counters on all sockets, which in NMI context triggers the WARN_ON_ONCE(). Reported-by:

Move out the x86-specific tests into tools/perf/arch/x86/tests and define an 'arch_tests' array, which is the list of tests that only apply to the build architecture. We can also now begin to get rid of some of the #ifdef code that is present in the generic perf tests. Signed-off-by:

Tests that only make sense for some architectures currently live in the same place as the generic tests. Move out the x86-specific tests into tools/perf/arch/x86/tests and define an 'arch_tests' array, which is the list of tests that only apply to the build architecture. The main idea is to encourage developers to add arch tests to build out perf's test coverage, without dumping everything in tools/perf/tests. Signed-off-by:

Sorting on 'symbol' gives to broad a resolution as it can cover a range of IP address. Use the iaddr instead to get proper sorting on IP addresses. Need to use the 'mem_sort' feature of perf record.
