Sometimes we get callchain branches that have a rate under the limit given by the user. Say you launched: perf record -f -g -a ./hackbench 10 perf report -g fractal,10.0 And you got: 2.33% hackbench [kernel] [k] _spin_lock_irqsave | |--78.57%-- remove_wait_queue | poll_freewait | do_sys_poll | sys_poll | sysenter_dispatch | 0xf7ffa430 | 0x1ffadea3c | |--7.14%-- __up_read | up_read | do_page_fault | page_fault | 0xf7ffa430 | 0xa0df710000000a ... It is abnormal to get a 7.14% branch whereas we passed a 10% filter. The problem is that we round down the minimum threshold. This happens mostly when we have very low number of events. If the total amount of your branch is 4 and you have a subranch of 3 events, filtering to 90% will be computed like follows: limit = 4 * 0.9; The result is about 3.6, but the cast to integer will round down to 3. It means that our filter is actually of 75% We must then explicitly round up the minimum threshold.

Based on Peter's comments, make tracepoint sampling generic just like all the other sampling bits are. This is a rename with no code changes: - PERF_SAMPLE_TP_RECORD to PERF_SAMPLE_RAW - struct perf_tracepoint_record to perf_raw_record We want the system in place that transport tracepoints raw samples events into the perf ring buffer to be generalized and usable by any type of counter.

perf tools: callchain: Fix sum of percentages to be 100% by displaying amount of ignored chains in fractal mode When we filter the callchains below a given percentage, we ignore them and the end result only shows entries that have an upper percentage than the filter threshold. It seems to users then that we have an imbalance in the percentage, as if the sum inside a profiled branch doesn't reach 100%. Since in the past there have been real perf report bugs that showed the same sypmtom, it would be nice to assure the user that the data is perfect and trustable and it all sums up to 100.00%. So fix this by displaying the remaining hits that have been filtered but without more detail than their amount in each branches. Example while filtering below 50%: 7.73% [k] delay_tsc | |--98.22%-- __const_udelay | | | |--86.37%-- ath5k_hw_register_timeout | | ath5k_hw_noise_floor_calibration | | ath5k_hw_reset | | ath5k_reset | | ath5k_config | | ieee80211_hw_config | | | | | |--88.53%-- ieee80211_scan_work | | | worker_thread | | | kthread | | | child_rip | | --11.47%-- [...] | --13.63%-- [...] --1.78%-- [...] Reported-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> LKML-Reference: <1249690585-9145-4-git-send-email-fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

If we recorded with -g option to record the callchain, right now we require a -g option to perf report as well - and people reported this as unnecessary complication: the user already specified -g once, no need to require it a second time. So if the recording includes call-chains, display the callchain by default from perf report. ( The user can override this default using "-g none" option from perf report. ) Reported-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> LKML-Reference: <1249690585-9145-3-git-send-email-fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

When the callchain tree comes to insert an empty backtrace, it raises a spurious warning about the fact we are inserting an empty. This is spurious because the radix tree assumes it did something wrong to reach this state. But it didn't, we just met an empty callchain that has to be ignored. This happens occasionally with certain types of call-chain recordings. If it happens it's a big nuisance as perf report output starts with thousands of warning lines.

1. Ignore the -A argument if there is no perf.data file 2. Treat an empty file like a non existent file. Else, perf will try to read the perf.data header, and fail with an error. Treating an empty file like a non-existent file makes sense, since an interupted (as in SIGKILLed) perf could leave such files around, and you don't want to annoy the user with errors for files with no data in it.

If we have the powerpc perf_counter backend compiled in, but the cpu we are running on is one where we don't support the PMU, we currently oops in hw_perf_group_sched_in if we try to use any counters, because ppmu is NULL in that case, and we unconditionally dereference ppmu. This fixes the problem by adding a check if ppmu is NULL at the beginning of hw_perf_group_sched_in, and also at the beginning of the other functions that get called from the perf_counter core, i.e. hw_perf_disable, hw_perf_enable, and hw_perf_counter_setup.

The callchain fractal mode builds each new total hits in a new branch of profiling by using the parent's hits of the current branch plus the hits of the children. This is wrong, the total hits of a branch should be made of the sum of every children hits, we must ignore the parent hits in this scope. This patch also fixes another mistake with the hit counting.

This patch implements the kernel side support for ftrace event record sampling. A new counter sampling attribute is added: PERF_SAMPLE_TP_RECORD which requests ftrace events record sampling. In this case if a PERF_TYPE_TRACEPOINT counter is active and a tracepoint fires, we emit the tracepoint binary record to the perfcounter event buffer, as a sample. Result, after setting PERF_SAMPLE_TP_RECORD attribute from perf record: perf record -f -F 1 -a -e workqueue:workqueue_execution perf report -D 0x21e18 [0x48]: event: 9 . . ... raw event: size 72 bytes . 0000: 09 00 00 00 01 00 48 00 d0 c7 00 81 ff ff ff ff ......H........ . 0010: 0a 00 00 00 0a 00 00 00 21 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ........!...... . 0020: 2b 00 01 02 0a 00 00 00 0a 00 00 00 65 76 65 6e +...........eve . 0030: 74 73 2f 31 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0a 00 00 00 ts/1........... . 0040: e0 b1 31 81 ff ff ff ff ....... . 0x21e18 [0x48]: PERF_EVENT_SAMPLE (IP, 1): 10: 0xffffffff8100c7d0 period: 33 The raw ftrace binary record starts at offset 0020.

For that we need to have an instant access to the perf counter attribute. This is a matter of a flag to add in the struct ftrace_event. - Take care of the events recursivity! Don't ever try to record a lock event for example, it seems some locking is used in the profiling fast path and lead to a tracing recursivity. That will be fixed using raw spinlock or recursivity protection. - [...] - Profit! :-) Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com> Cc: Tom Zanussi <tzanussi@gmail.com> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Pekka Enberg <penberg@cs.helsinki.fi> Cc: Gabriel Munteanu <eduard.munteanu@linux360.ro> Cc: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Adds possible second part to the assign argument of TP_EVENT(). TP_perf_assign( __perf_count(foo); __perf_addr(bar); ) Which, when specified make the swcounter increment with @foo instead of the usual 1, and report @bar for PERF_SAMPLE_ADDR (data address associated with the event) when this triggers a counter overflow.

If filter_add_subsystem_pred() fails due to ENOSPC or ENOMEM, the pred doesn't get freed, while as a side effect it does for other errors. Make it so the caller always frees the pred for any error.

Dan Carpenter sent me a fix to prevent pred from being used if it couldn't be allocated. I noticed the same problem also existed for the create_pred() case and added a fix for that.
