Some toolchains (like Hardened Gentoo) define _FORTIFY_SOURCE in the built-in, default args. This causes perf builds to fail with: <command-line>:0:0: error: "_FORTIFY_SOURCE" redefined [-Werror] <built-in>: note: this is the location of the previous definition cc1: all warnings being treated as errors To avoid this, undefine _FORTIFY_SOURCE before (possibly re-)defining it in tools/lib/api. v2 applies cleanly on top of already pulled kbuild changes for 4.1-rc1.

Building the perf tool for 32-bit ARM results in the following build error due to a combination of an incorrect conversion specifier and compiling with -Werror: builtin-kmem.c: In function ‘print_page_summary’: builtin-kmem.c:644:9: error: format ‘%lu’ expects argument of type ‘long unsigned int’, but argument 3 has type ‘u64’ [-Werror=format=] nr_alloc_freed, (total_alloc_freed_bytes) / 1024); ^ builtin-kmem.c:647:9: error: format ‘%lu’ expects argument of type ‘long unsigned int’, but argument 3 has type ‘u64’ [-Werror=format=] (total_page_alloc_bytes - total_alloc_freed_bytes) / 1024); ^ cc1: all warnings being treated as errors This patch fixes the problem by consistently using PRIu64 for printing out u64 values.

We were not checking in the inner event processing loop if the forked workload had finished, which, on a busy system, may make it take a long time trying to drain events, entering a seemingly neverending loop, waiting for the system to get idle enough to make it drain the buffers. Fix it by disabling the events when 'done' is true, in the inner loop, to start draining what is in the buffers.

commit f7aa222f Author: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Date: Tue Feb 3 13:25:39 2015 -0300 perf trace: No need to enable evsels for workload started from perf The assumption was that whenever a workload is specified, the attr.enable_on_exec evsel flag would be set, but that is not happening when perf_record_opts.system_wide is set, for instance That resulted in both perf_evlist__enable() and attr.enable_on_exec being not called/set, which made the events to remain disabled while the workload runs, producing no output. Fix it, by calling perf_evlist__enable() in the 'trace' tool when forking and not targetting a workload started from trace v2: Test against !target__none(), as suggested by Namhyung Kim, that is what is used in perf_evsel__config() when deciding if the attr.enable_on_exec flag to be set. More work is needed to cover other cases such as opts->initial_delay.

The core_pmu does not define cpu_* callbacks, which handles allocation of 'struct cpu_hw_events::shared_regs' data, initialization of debug store and PMU_FL_EXCL_CNTRS counters. While this probably won't happen on bare metal, virtual CPU can define x86_pmu.extra_regs together with PMU version 1 and thus be using core_pmu -> using shared_regs data without it being allocated.

Dan Carpenter reported that pt_event_add() has buggy error handling logic: it returns 0 instead of -EBUSY when it fails to start a newly added event. Furthermore, the control flow in this function is messy, with cleanup labels mixed with direct returns. Fix the bug and clean up the code by converting it to a straight fast path for the regular non-failing case, plus a clear sequence of cascading goto labels to do all cleanup. NOTE: I materially changed the existing clean up logic in the pt_event_start() failure case to use the direct perf_aux_output_end() path, not pt_event_del(), because perf_aux_output_end() is enough here.

RAPL energy hardware unit can vary within a single CPU package, e.g. HSW server DRAM has a fixed energy unit of 15.3 uJ (2^-16) whereas the unit on other domains can be enumerated from power unit MSR. There might be other variations in the future, this patch adds per cpu model quirk to allow special handling of certain cpus. hw_unit is also removed from per cpu data since it is not per cpu and the sampling rate for energy counter is typically not high. Without this patch, DRAM domain on HSW servers will be counted 4x higher than the real energy counter.

The first argument passed to find_probe_point_lazy() should be CU die, which will be passed to die_walk_lines() when lazy_line matches. Currently, when we probe with lazy_line pattern to file without function name, NULL pointer is passed and causes a segment fault. Can be reproduced as following: $ perf probe -k vmlinux --add='fs/super.c;s->s_count=1;' [ 1958.984658] perf[1020]: segfault at 10 ip 00007fc6e10d8c71 sp 00007ffcbfaaf900 error 4 in libdw-0.161.so[7fc6e10ce000+34000] Segmentation fault After this patch: $ perf probe -k vmlinux --add='fs/super.c;s->s_count=1;' Added new event: probe:_stext (on @fs/super.c) You can now use it in all perf tools, such as: perf record -e probe:_stext -aR sleep 1 Signed-off-by: He Kuang <hekuang@huawei.com> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Acked-by: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@hitachi.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1428925290-5623-3-git-send-email-hekuang@huawei.comSigned-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

When perf probe searched in a debuginfo file and failed, it tried with an alternative, in function get_alternative_probe_event(): memcpy(tmp, &pev->point, sizeof(*tmp)); memset(&pev->point, 0, sizeof(pev->point)); In this case, it drops the retprobe flag and forgets to set it back in find_alternative_probe_point(), so the problem occurs.

The perf kmem command records and analyze kernel memory allocation only for SLAB objects. This patch implement a simple page allocator analyzer using kmem:mm_page_alloc and kmem:mm_page_free events. It adds two new options of --slab and --page. The --slab option is for analyzing SLAB allocator and that's what perf kmem currently does. The new --page option enables page allocator events and analyze kernel memory usage in page unit. Currently, 'stat --alloc' subcommand is implemented only. If none of these --slab nor --page is specified, --slab is implied. First run 'perf kmem record' to generate a suitable perf.data file: # perf kmem record --page sleep 5 Then run 'perf kmem stat' to postprocess the perf.data file: # perf kmem stat --page --alloc --line 10 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PFN | Total alloc (KB) | Hits | Order | Mig.type | GFP flags ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4045014 | 16 | 1 | 2 | RECLAIM | 00285250 4143980 | 16 | 1 | 2 | RECLAIM | 00285250 3938658 | 16 | 1 | 2 | RECLAIM | 00285250 4045400 | 16 | 1 | 2 | RECLAIM | 00285250 3568708 | 16 | 1 | 2 | RECLAIM | 00285250 3729824 | 16 | 1 | 2 | RECLAIM | 00285250 3657210 | 16 | 1 | 2 | RECLAIM | 00285250 4120750 | 16 | 1 | 2 | RECLAIM | 00285250 3678850 | 16 | 1 | 2 | RECLAIM | 00285250 3693874 | 16 | 1 | 2 | RECLAIM | 00285250 ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY (page allocator) ======================== Total allocation requests : 44,260 [ 177,256 KB ] Total free requests : 117 [ 468 KB ] Total alloc+freed requests : 49 [ 196 KB ] Total alloc-only requests : 44,211 [ 177,060 KB ] Total free-only requests : 68 [ 272 KB ] Total allocation failures : 0 [ 0 KB ] Order Unmovable Reclaimable Movable Reserved CMA/Isolated ----- ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ 0 32 . 44,210 . . 1 . . . . . 2 . 18 . . . 3 . . . . . 4 . . . . . 5 . . . . . 6 . . . . . 7 . . . . . 8 . . . . . 9 . . . . . 10 . . . . .

The struct page is opaque for userspace tools, so it'd be better to save pfn in order to identify page frames. The textual output of $debugfs/tracing/trace file remains unchanged and only raw (binary) data format is changed - but thanks to libtraceevent, userspace tools which deal with the raw data (like perf and trace-cmd) can parse the format easily. So impact on the userspace will also be minimal.

Dan Carpenter pointed out that the control flow in pt_pmu_hw_init() is a bit messy: for example the kfree(de_attrs) is entirely superfluous. Another problem is the inconsistent mixing of label based and direct return error handling. Add modern, label based error handling instead and clean up the code a bit as well. Note that we'll still do a kfree(NULL) in the normal case - this does not matter as this is an init path and kfree() returns early if it sees a NULL.

commit: f3b623b8 ("perf tools: Reference count struct thread") appends every thread->node to dead_threads in machine__remove_thread() and list_del_init() this node in thread__put(). perf_event__exit_del_thread() releases thread wihout using machine__remove_thread(), and causes a NULL pointer crash when list_del_init(&thread->node) is called. Fix this by using machine_remove_thread() instead of using thread__put() directly.

Currently there's 3 (that I found) different and incomplete implementations of printing perf_event_attr. This is quite silly. Merge the lot.

perf sched replay: Use replay_repeat to calculate the runavg of cpu usage instead of the default value 10 Since sched->replay_repeat is set to 10 as default, the sched->run_avg, sched->runavg_cpu_usage, and sched->runavg_parent_cpu_usage all use 10 to calculate their value. However, the replay_repeat can be changed to other value by using -r option, so the calculation above should use replay_repeat to achieve more accurate results instead of the default value 10.

The soft maximum number of open files for a calling process is 1024, which is defined as INR_OPEN_CUR in include/uapi/linux/fs.h, and the hard maximum number of open files for a calling process is 4096, which is defined as INR_OPEN_MAX in include/uapi/linux/fs.h. Both INR_OPEN_CUR and INR_OPEN_MAX are used to limit the value of RLIMIT_NOFILE in include/asm-generic/resource.h. And the soft maximum number finally decides the limitation of the maximum files which are allowed to be opened. That is to say a process can use at most 1024 file descriptors for its o pened files, or an EMFILE error will happen. This error can be fixed by increasing the soft maximum number, under the constraint that the soft maximum number can not exceed the hard maximum number, or both soft and hard maximum number should be increased simultaneously with privilege. For perf sched replay, it uses sys_perf_event_open to create the file descriptor for each of the tasks in order to handle information of perf events. That is to say each task needs a unique file descriptor. In x86_64, there may be over 1024 or 4096 tasks correspoinding to the record in perf.data, which causes that no enough file descriptors can be used. As a result, EMFILE error happens and stops the replay process. To solve this problem, we adaptively increase the soft and hard maximum number of open files with a '-f' option. Example: Test environment: x86_64 with 160 cores $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max 163840 $ cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max 6815744 $ ulimit -Sn 1024 $ ulimit -Hn 4096 Before this patch: $ perf sched replay ... task 1549 ( :163132: 163132), nr_events: 1 task 1550 ( :163540: 163540), nr_events: 1 task 1551 ( <unknown>: 0), nr_events: 10 Error: sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with -1 (Too many open files) After this patch: $ perf sched replay ... task 1549 ( :163132: 163132), nr_events: 1 task 1550 ( :163540: 163540), nr_events: 1 task 1551 ( <unknown>: 0), nr_events: 10 Error: sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with -1 (Too many open files) Have a try with -f option $ perf sched replay -f ... task 1549 ( :163132: 163132), nr_events: 1 task 1550 ( :163540: 163540), nr_events: 1 task 1551 ( <unknown>: 0), nr_events: 10 ------------------------------------------------------------ #1 : 54.401, ravg: 54.40, cpu: 3285.21 / 3285.21 #2 : 199.548, ravg: 68.92, cpu: 4999.65 / 3456.66 #3 : 170.483, ravg: 79.07, cpu: 1349.94 / 3245.99 #4 : 192.034, ravg: 90.37, cpu: 1322.88 / 3053.67 #5 : 182.929, ravg: 99.62, cpu: 1406.51 / 2888.96 #6 : 152.974, ravg: 104.96, cpu: 1167.54 / 2716.82 #7 : 155.579, ravg: 110.02, cpu: 2992.53 / 2744.39 #8 : 130.557, ravg: 112.08, cpu: 1126.43 / 2582.59 #9 : 138.520, ravg: 114.72, cpu: 1253.22 / 2449.65 #10 : 134.328, ravg: 116.68, cpu: 1587.95 / 2363.48 Signed-off-by: Yunlong Song <yunlong.song@huawei.com> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1427809596-29559-8-git-send-email-yunlong.song@huawei.comSigned-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

Since there is sem_wait for each task in the wait_for_tasks(), e.g. sem_wait(&task->work_done_sem). The sem_wait can continue only when work_done_sem is greater than 0, or it will be blocked. For perf sched replay, one task may sem_post the work_done_sem of another task, which causes the work_done_sem of that task processed in a reasonable sequence, e.g. sem_post, sem_wait, sem_wait, sem_post... This sequence simulates the sched process of the running tasks at the time when perf sched record runs. As a result, all the tasks are required and their threads must be successfully created. If any one (task A) of the tasks fails to create its thread, then another task (task B), whose work_done_sem needs sem_post from that failed task A, may likely block itself due to seg_wait. And this is a dead halt, since task B's thread_func cannot continue at all. To solve this problem, perf sched replay should exit once any task fails to create its thread. Example: Test environment: x86_64 with 160 cores Before this patch: $ perf sched replay ... Error: sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with -1 (Too many open files) ------------------------------------------------------------ <- dead halt After this patch: $ perf sched replay ... task 1551 ( <unknown>: 0), nr_events: 10 Error: sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with -1 (Too many open files) $ As shown above, perf sched replay finishes the process after printing an error message and does not block itself.
