This patch adds support for profiling JIT generated code to 'perf report'. A JIT compiler is required to generate a "/tmp/perf-$PID.map" symbols map that is parsed when looking and displaying symbols. Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for his help with this patch!

Some JIT compilers allocate memory for generated code with posix_memalign() + mprotect() so we need to hook into mprotect() to make sure 'perf' is aware that we're executing code in anonymous memory.

The first snapshot reading often occur before any events have been read in the mapped perfcounter files. Just wait until we have at least one event before starting the snapshot, or the delay before the first set of entries to be displayed may be long in case of low refresh rate. Note: we could also use a semaphore to wait before "print_entries" number of eveents is reached, but again this value is tunable and we can't ensure we will even reach it. Also we could base on a default mimimum set of entries for the first refresh, say 15, but again, the minimal sample is tunable, and we could end up displaying nothing until we have a minimal default set of events, which can take some time in case of high samples filters. Hence this simple solution which partially covers the default case. [ Impact: fix display artifacts in perf top ] Signed-off-by:

Right now kernel debug info does not get resolved by default, because we dont know where to look for the vmlinux. The -k option can be used for that - but if no option is given, pick up vmlinux files in the current directory - in case a kernel hacker runs profiling from the source directory that the kernel was built in. The real solution would be to embedd the location (and perhaps the date/timestamp) of the vmlinux file in /proc/kallsyms, so that tools can pick it up automatically.

Extend generic event enumeration with the PERF_TYPE_HW_CACHE method. This is a 3-dimensional space: { L1-D, L1-I, L2, ITLB, DTLB, BPU } x { load, store, prefetch } x { accesses, misses } User-space passes in the 3 coordinates and the kernel provides a counter. (if the hardware supports that type and if the combination makes sense.) Combinations that make no sense produce a -EINVAL. Combinations that are not supported by the hardware produce -ENOTSUP. Extend the tools to deal with this, and rewrite the event symbol parsing code with various popular aliases for the units and access methods above. So 'l1-cache-miss' and 'l1d-read-ops' are both valid aliases. ( x86 is supported for now, with the Nehalem event table filled in, and with Core2 and Atom having placeholder tables. ) Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Corey Ashford <cjashfor@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> LKML-Reference: <new-submission> Signed-off-by: -

Counter type is a frequently used value and we do a lot of bit juggling by encoding and decoding it from attr->config. Clean this up by creating a separate attr->type field. Also clean up the various similarly complex user-space bits all around counter attribute management. The net improvement is significant, and it will be easier to add a new major type (which is what triggered this cleanup). (This changes the ABI, all tools are adapted.) (PowerPC build-tested.)
