      perf trace: Introduce --filter-pids · f078c385
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored 
      When tracing in X we get event loops due to the tracing activity, i.e.
updates to a gnome-terminal that generate syscalls for X.org, etc.

To get a more useful view of what is happening, syscall wise, system
wide, we need to filter those, like in:

 # ps ax|egrep '981|2296|1519' | grep -v egrep
   981 tty1 Ss+ 5:40 /usr/bin/Xorg :0 -background none ...
  1519 ?    Sl  2:22 /usr/bin/gnome-shell
  2296 ?    Sl  4:16 /usr/libexec/gnome-terminal-server
 #

 # trace -e write --filter-pids 981,2296,1519
    0.385 ( 0.021 ms): goa-daemon/2061 write(fd: 1</dev/null>, buf: 0x7fbeb017b000, count: 136) = 136
    0.922 ( 0.014 ms): goa-daemon/2061 write(fd: 1</dev/null>, buf: 0x7fbeb017b000, count: 140) = 140
 5006.525 ( 0.029 ms): goa-daemon/2061 write(fd: 1</dev/null>, buf: 0x7fbeb017b000, count: 136) = 136
 5007.235 ( 0.023 ms): goa-daemon/2061 write(fd: 1</dev/null>, buf: 0x7fbeb017b000, count: 140) = 140
 5177.646 ( 0.018 ms): rtkit-daemon/782 write(fd: 5<anon_inode:[eventfd]>, buf: 0x7f7eea70be88, count: 8) = 8
 8314.497 ( 0.004 ms): gsd-locate-poi/2084 write(fd: 5<anon_inode:[eventfd]>, buf: 0x7fffe96af7b0, count: 8) = 8

 ^C#

When this option is used the tracer pid is also filtered.

      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored 
      When printing just events, i.e. '--no-sys --ev some:events' it makes no
sense to waste screen space.

Before:

      perf trace: Allow mixing with other events · 14a052df
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored 
      Basically adopting 'perf record' --event command line argument syntax:

  0.515 (0.058 ms): usleep/24732  ... [continued]: nanosleep()) = 0
  0.520 (0.000 ms): usleep/24732 exit_group(
  0.550 (        ): sched:sched_process_exit:comm=usleep pid=24732 prio=120)
 #

Next steps, probably in this order:

1) Use ordered_events code, the logic in trace needs the events to be
   time ordered when needed, i.e. when multiple CPUs are involved.

2) Callchains!

3) Automatically account for interruptions when saying how long things
   took.

We we're not seeing this line:

just the one when it finishes:

  3.363 ( 2.539 ms): time/16722  ... [continued]: wait4()) = 16723

Still some issues left till we move to ordered_samples when multiple
CPUs/threads are involved...

      perf trace: Print thread info when following children · 42052bea
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored 
      The default for 'trace workload' is to set perf_event_attr.inherit to 1,
i.e. to make it equivalent to 'strace -f workload', so we were ending
with syscalls for multiple processes mixed up, fix it:

Before:

  [root@ssdandy ~]# trace -e brk time usleep 1
     0.071 ( 0.002 ms): brk(              ) = 0x100e000

     1.136 ( 0.003 ms): brk(brk: 0x1dba000) = 0x1dba000
     1.140 ( 0.001 ms): brk(              ) = 0x1dba000
  0.00user 0.00system 0:00.00elapsed 63%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 528maxresident)k
  0inputs+0outputs (0major+181minor)pagefaults 0swaps
  [root@ssdandy ~]#

After:

  [root@ssdandy ~]# trace -f -e brk time usleep 1
     0.072 ( 0.002 ms): time/26308 brk(               ) = 0x1e6e000
     0.860 ( 0.001 ms): usleep/26309 brk(             ) = 0xb91000
     1.193 ( 0.003 ms): usleep/26309 brk(             ) = 0xb91000
     1.197 ( 0.003 ms): usleep/26309 brk(brk: 0xbb2000) = 0xbb2000
     1.201 ( 0.001 ms): usleep/26309 brk(             ) = 0xbb2000
  0.00user 0.00system 0:00.00elapsed 0%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 524maxresident)k
  0inputs+0outputs (0major+180minor)pagefaults 0swaps
  [root@ssdandy ~]#

BTW: to achieve the 'strace workload' behaviour, i.e. without a explicit
'-f', one has to use --no-inherit.

      perf list: Place the header text in its right position · 619a303c
      Yunlong Song authored 
      The hearer text 'List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e):' is
placed in an improper function, which causes an abnormal output, e.g.

      perf: Remove the extra validity check on nr_pages · 74390aa5
      Kaixu Xia authored 
      The function is_power_of_2() also do the check on nr_pages, so the first
check performed is unnecessary. On the other hand, the key point is to
ensure @nr_pages is a power-of-two number and mostly @nr_pages is a
nonzero value, so in the most cases, the function is_power_of_2() will
be called.

      perf tools: Fix a bug of segmentation fault · 3a03005f
      Yunlong Song authored 
      Fix the 'segmentation fault' bug of 'perf list --list-cmds', which also
happens in other cases (e.g. record, report ...). This bug happens when
there are no cmds to list at all.

Example:

Before this patch:

  $ perf list --list-cmds
  Segmentation fault
  $

  After this patch:
  $ perf list --list-cmds
  $

As shown above, the result prints nothing rather than a segmentation
fault. The null result means 'perf list' has no cmds to display at this
time.
