To not sample, what we want are just the PERF_RECORD_ lifetime events for threads, using the default, PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE + PERF_COUNT_HW_CYCLES and freq=1 (the default), makes perf reenable irq_vectors:local_timer_entry, disabling nohz, not good for some use cases where all we want is to get notifications when threads comes and goes... Fix it by using PERF_TYPE_SOFTWARE (no counter rotation) and PERF_COUNT_SW_DUMMY (created by Adrian so that we could have access to those PERF_RECORD_ goodies). Reported-by:

The python binding still doesn't provide symbol resolving facilities, but the recent addition of the trace_event__register_resolver() function made it add as a dependency the machine__resolve_kernel_addr() method, that in turn drags all the symbol resolving code. The problem: [root@zoo ~]# perf test -v python 17: Try 'import perf' in python, checking link problems : --- start --- test child forked, pid 6853 Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ImportError: /tmp/build/perf/python/perf.so: undefined symbol: machine__resolve_kernel_addr test child finished with -1 ---- end ---- Try 'import perf' in python, checking link problems: FAILED! [root@zoo ~]# Fix it by requiring this function to receive the resolver as a parameter, just like pevent_register_function_resolver(), i.e. do not explicitely refer to an object file not included in tools/perf/util/python-ext-sources.

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: New features: - Introduce PERF_RECORD_SWITCH(_CPU_WIDE) and use it in 'record' to ask for context switches, allowing non priviledged tasks to know when they are switched in and out, which wasn't possible with the other context switch tracepoint and software events, see the patch description for a comprehensive justification (Adrian Hunter) - Stop collecting /proc/kallsyms in perf.data files, saving about 4.5MB on a typical x86-64 system, use the the symbol resolution routines used in all the other tools (report, top, etc) now that we can ask libtraceevent to use perf's symbol resolution code. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) User visible fixes: - Expose perf's symbol resolver to libtraceevent, so that its plugins can resolve tracepoint fields to kernel functions, like the 'function' field in the "timer:hrtimer_start tracepoint" (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) Infrastructure changes: - Map propagation of thread and cpu maps improvements, prep work for 'perf stat' new features (Jiri Olsa) Signed-off-by:

Adrian Hunter authored
Support processing of PERF_RECORD_SWITCH events and PERF_RECORD_SWITCH_CPU_WIDE events. There is a single tools callback for them both so that the tool must check the event type before using the extra members in PERF_RECORD_SWITCH_CPU_WIDE. There is still no way to select the events, though. That is added in a subsequest patch. Signed-off-by:

Adrian Hunter authored
There are already two events for context switches, namely the tracepoint sched:sched_switch and the software event context_switches. Unfortunately neither are suitable for use by non-privileged users for the purpose of synchronizing hardware trace data (e.g. Intel PT) to the context switch. Tracepoints are no good at all for non-privileged users because they need either CAP_SYS_ADMIN or /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid <= -1. On the other hand, kernel software events need either CAP_SYS_ADMIN or /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid <= 1. Now many distributions do default perf_event_paranoid to 1 making context_switches a contender, except it has another problem (which is also shared with sched:sched_switch) which is that it happens before perf schedules events out instead of after perf schedules events in. Whereas a privileged user can see all the events anyway, a non-privileged user only sees events for their own processes, in other words they see when their process was scheduled out not when it was scheduled in. That presents two problems to use the event: 1. the information comes too late, so tools have to look ahead in the event stream to find out what the current state is 2. if they are unlucky tracing might have stopped before the context-switches event is recorded. This new PERF_RECORD_SWITCH event does not have those problems and it also has a couple of other small advantages. It is easier to use because it is an auxiliary event (like mmap, comm and task events) which can be enabled by setting a single bit. It is smaller than sched:sched_switch and easier to parse. To make the event useful for privileged users also, if the context is cpu-wide then the event record will be PERF_RECORD_SWITCH_CPU_WIDE which is the same as PERF_RECORD_SWITCH except it also provides the next or previous pid/tid.

Since we now ask libtraceevent, the only user of this payload, to use perf's symbol resolution routines, there is no need to carry about ~4.5MB per perf.data when we can get it from one of the places the perf symbol resolution looks for that symtab (debuginfo, ~/.debug/, /proc/kallsyms, --symfs, etc), using the kernel and modules build-ids to make sure the right table is used.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
We were storing a copy of kallsyms inside perf.data file so that we could resolve kernel addresses to function (start, name, mod) tuples, but that can be achieved using the symbol resolving routines we have in symbols.c, and that are used elsewhere in tools/perf. So, do just like 'perf trace' did and ask libtraceevent to use perf's symbol resolution routines. The next step is to just skip whatever kallsyms data is embedded in older perf.data files and finally to stop storing kallsyms in the perf data file, as the 20-bytes build-id stored in perf.data's header is enough to find out the right symtab (be it ELF, kcore, kallsyms, etc) to use.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
The perf tools have a symbol resolver that includes solving kernel symbols using either kallsyms or ELF symtabs, and it also is using libtraceevent to format the trace events fields, including via subsystem specific plugins, like the "timer" one. To solve fields like "timer:hrtimer_start"'s "function", libtraceevent needs a way to map from its value to a function name and addr. This patch provides a way for tools that already have symbol resolving facilities to ask libtraceevent to use it when needing to resolve kernel symbols. Reviewed-by:

Allows a way of measuring low level kernel implementation of FUTEX_LOCK_PI and FUTEX_UNLOCK_PI. The program comes in two flavors: (i) single futex (default), all threads contend on the same uaddr. For the sake of the benchmark, we call into kernel space even when the lock is uncontended. The kernel will set it to TID, any waters that come in and contend for the pi futex will be handled respectively by the kernel. (ii) -M option for multiple futexes, each thread deals with its own futex. This is a trivial scenario and only measures kernel handling of 0->TID transition. Signed-off-by:

This patch allows 'perf record' to exclude events issued by perf itself by '--exclude-perf' option. Before this patch, when doing something like: # perf record -a -e syscalls:sys_enter_write <cmd> One could easily get result like this: # /tmp/perf report --stdio ... # Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol # ........ ....... .................. .................... # 99.99% perf libpthread-2.18.so [.] __write_nocancel 0.01% ls libc-2.18.so [.] write 0.01% sshd libc-2.18.so [.] write ... Where most events are generated by perf itself. A shell trick can be done to filter perf itself out: # cat << EOF > ./tmp > #!/bin/sh > exec perf record -e ... --filter="common_pid != \$\$" -a sleep 10 > EOF # chmod a+x ./tmp # ./tmp However, doing so is user unfriendly. This patch extracts evsel iteration framework introduced by patch 'perf record: Apply filter to all events in a glob matching' into foreach_evsel_in_last_glob(), and makes exclude_perf() function append new filter expression to each evsel selected by a '-e' selector. To avoid losing filters if user pass '--filter' after '--exclude-perf', this patch uses perf_evsel__append_filter() in both case, instead of perf_evsel__set_filter() which removes old filter. As a side effect, now it is possible to use multiple '--filter' option for one selector. They are combinded with '&&'.

There is an old problem in perf's filter applying which first posted at Sep. 2014 at https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/9/9/944 that, if passing multiple events in a glob matching expression in cmdline then add '--filter' after them, the filter will be applied on only the last one. For example: # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null & [1] 464 # perf record -a -e 'syscalls:sys_*_read' --filter 'common_pid != 464' sleep 0.1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.239 MB perf.data (2094 samples) ] # perf report --stdio | tee ... # Samples: 2K of event 'syscalls:sys_enter_read' # Event count (approx.): 2092 ... # Samples: 2 of event 'syscalls:sys_exit_read' # Event count (approx.): 2 ... In this example, filter only applied on 'syscalls:sys_exit_read', and there's no way to set filter for ''syscalls:sys_enter_read'. This patch adds a 'cmdline_group_boundary' for 'struct evsel', and apply filter on all events between two boundary marks. After applying this patch: # perf record -a -e 'syscalls:sys_*_read' --filter 'common_pid != 464' sleep 0.1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.031 MB perf.data (3 samples) ] # perf report --stdio | tee ... # Samples: 1 of event 'syscalls:sys_enter_read' # Event count (approx.): 1 ... # Samples: 2 of event 'syscalls:sys_exit_read' # Event count (approx.): 2 ...
