      perf list: Avoid confusion of perf output and the next command prompt · ed457520
      Yunlong Song authored
      Distinguish the output of 'perf list --list-opts' or 'perf --list-cmds'
      with the next command prompt, which also happens in other cases (e.g.
      record, report ...).
      
      Example:
      
      Before this patch:
      
       $perf list --list-opts
       --raw-dump $          <-- the output and the next command prompt are at
                                 the same line
      
      After this patch:
      
       $perf list --list-opts
       --raw-dump
       $                     <-- the new line

      perf list: Allow listing events with 'tracepoint' prefix · 16114951
      Yunlong Song authored
      If somebody happens to name an event with the beginning of 'tracepoint'
      (e.g. tracepoint_foo), then it will never be showed with perf list
      event_glob, thus we parse the argument 'tracepoint' more carefully for
      accuracy.
      
      Example:
      
      Before this patch:
      
       $ perf list tracepoint_foo:*
      
         jbd2:jbd2_start_commit                             [Tracepoint event]
         jbd2:jbd2_commit_locking                           [Tracepoint event]
         jbd2:jbd2_run_stats                                [Tracepoint event]
         block:block_rq_issue                               [Tracepoint event]
         block:block_bio_complete                           [Tracepoint event]
         block:block_bio_backmerge                          [Tracepoint event]
         block:block_getrq                                  [Tracepoint event]
         ...                                                ...
      
      As shown above, all of the tracepoint events are printed. In fact, the
      command's real intention is to print the events of tracepoint_foo.
      
      After this patch:
      
       $ perf list tracepoint_foo:*
      
         tracepoint_foo:tp_foo_enter                        [Tracepoint event]
         tracepoint_foo:tp_foo_exit                         [Tracepoint event]
      
      As shown above, only the events of tracepoint_foo are printed.

      perf diff: Support for different binaries · 94ba462d
      Kan Liang authored
      Currently, the perf diff only works with same binaries. That's because
      it compares the symbol start address. It doesn't work if the perf.data
      comes from different binaries. This patch matches the symbol names.
      
      Actually, perf diff once intended to compare the symbol names.  The
      commit as below can look for a pair by name.
      
      604c5c92 (perf diff: Change the default sort order to "dso,symbol")
      However, at that time, perf diff used a global list of dsos. That means
      the binaries which has same name can only be loaded once. That's a
      problem for comparing different binaries.
      
      For example, we have an old binary and an updated binary. They very
      likely have same name and most of the functions, so only dsos from old
      binary will be loaded. When processing the data from updated binary,
      perf still use the symbol information from old binary. That's wrong.
      
      Then the commit as below used IP to replace symbol name.
      9c443dfd ("perf diff: Fix support for all --sort combinations")
      >From that time, perf diff starts to compare the symbol address.
      
      The global dsos is discarded from a patch in 2010.
      a1645ce1 ("perf: 'perf kvm' tool for monitoring guest performance
      from host")
      However, at that time, perf diff already compared by address. So perf
      diff cannot work for different binaries as well.
      
      This patch actually rolls back the perf diff to original design. The
      document is also changed, so everybody knows the original design is to
      compare the symbol names.
      
      Here are some examples:
      
      The only difference between example_v1.c and example_v2.c is the
      location of f2 and f3. There is no change in behavior, but the previous
      perf diff display the wrong differential profile.
      
      example_v1.c
      noinline void f3(void)
      {
              volatile int i;
              for (i = 0; i < 10000;) {
      
                      if(i%2)
                              i++;
                      else
                              i++;

      perf buildid-cache: Add new buildid cache if update target is not cached · a50d11a1
      Masami Hiramatsu authored
      Add new buildid cache if the update target file is not cached.
      
      This can happen when an old binary is replaced by new one after caching
      the old one. In this case, user sees his operation just failed.
      
      But it does not look straight, since user just pass the binary "path",
      not "build-id".
      
        ----
        # ./perf buildid-cache --add ./perf
        (update ./perf to new binary)
        # ./perf buildid-cache --update ./perf
        ./perf wasn't in the cache
        #
        ----
      
      This patch adds given new binary to cache if the new binary is
      not cached. So we'll not see the above error.

      sample->raw_data is guaranteed to not be 8-byte aligned because it is preceded

      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 user selectable features:
      
        - Support recording running/enabled time in 'perf record' (Andi Kleen)
      
        - New tool: 'perf data' for converting perf.data to other formats,
          initially for the CTF (Common Trace Format) from LTTng (Jiri Olsa, Sebastian Siewior)
      
      User visible changes:
      
        - Only insert blank duration bracket when tracing syscalls in 'perf trace' (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
      
        - Filter out the trace pid when no threads are specified in 'perf trace' (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
      
        - Add 'perf trace' man page entry for --event (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
      
        - Dump stack on segfaults in 'perf trace' (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
      
      Infrastructure changes:
      
        - Introduce set_filter_pid and set_filter_pids methods in the evlist class (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
      
        - Some perf_session untanglement patches, removing the need to pass a
          perf_session instance for things that are related to evlists, so that
          tools that don't deal with perf.data files like trace in live mode can
          make use of the ordered_events class (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

      perf data: Add a 'perf' prefix to the generic fields · 54cf776a
      Sebastian Andrzej Siewior authored
      Some of the tracers bring their own id or pid fields and we can end up
      having two of them. This patch adds a "perf_" prefix to the 'generic'
      fields so we avoid a clash of the member names.
      
      The change is visible in the babeltrace output:

      perf data: Add perf data to CTF conversion support · edbe9817
      Jiri Olsa authored
      Adding 'perf data convert' to convert perf data file into different
      format. This patch adds support for CTF format conversion.
      
      To convert perf.data into CTF run:
        $ perf data convert --to-ctf=./ctf-data/
        [ perf data convert: Converted 'perf.data' into CTF data './ctf-data/' ]
        [ perf data convert: Converted and wrote 11.268 MB (100230 samples) ]
      
      The command will create CTF metadata out of perf.data file (or one
      specified via -i option) and then convert all sample events into single
      CTF stream.
      
      Each sample_type bit is translated into separated CTF event field apart
      from following exceptions:
      
        PERF_SAMPLE_RAW          - added in next patch
        PERF_SAMPLE_READ         - TODO
        PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN    - TODO
        PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK - TODO
        PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_USER    - TODO
        PERF_SAMPLE_STACK_USER   - TODO
      
        $ perf --debug=data-convert=2 data convert ...
      
      The converted CTF data could be analyzed by CTF tools, like babletrace
      or tracecompass [1].
      
        $ babeltrace ./ctf-data/
        [03:19:13.962125533] (+?.?????????) cycles: { }, { ip = 0xFFFFFFFF8105443A, tid = 20714, pid = 20714, period = 1 }

      The following members to the ctf-environment were decided to be added to
      distinguish and specify perf CTF data:
      
        - domain
      
          It says "kernel" because it contains a kernel trace (not to be
          confused with a user space like lttng-ust does)
      
        - tracer_name
      
          It says perf. This can be used to distinguish between lttng and perf
          CTF based trace.
      
        - version
      
          The kernel version from stream. In addition to release, this is what
          it looks like on a Debian kernel:
      
            release = "3.14-1-amd64";
            version = "3.14.0";

      perf tools: Add feature check for libbabeltrace · 53d0a573
      Jiri Olsa authored
      Adding feature check for babeltrace library [1], which will be used for
      perf data file CTF [2] conversion in following patches.
      
      The babeltrace library is now automatically detected as standard
      feature. It's possible to specify LIBBABELTRACE_DIR make variable to
      specify location of installed libbabeltrace, like:
      
        $ make LIBBABELTRACE_DIR=/opt/libbabeltrace/
          BUILD:   Doing 'make -j4' parallel build
      
        Auto-detecting system features:
        ...                         dwarf: [ on  ]
        ...                         glibc: [ on  ]
        ...                          gtk2: [ on  ]

      perf record: Support recording running/enabled time · 85c273d2
      Andi Kleen authored
      Add an option to perf record to record running/enabled time for read
      events, similar to what stat does.
      
      This is useful to understand multiplexing problems.
      
      Right now the report support is not great, but at least report -D
      already supports it.

      To figure out if ordered_events are being used when doing a flush
      operation, it is enough to check if there were in fact some events
      queued, i.e. look at oe->nr_events.

      Linux 4.0-rc1 · c517d838
      Linus Torvalds authored
      .. after extensive statistical analysis of my G+ polling, I've come to
      the inescapable conclusion that internet polls are bad.
      
      Big surprise.
      
      But "Hurr durr I'ma sheep" trounced "I like online polls" by a 62-to-38%
      margin, in a poll that people weren't even supposed to participate in.
      Who can argue with solid numbers like that? 5,796 votes from people who
      can't even follow the most basic directions?
      
      In contrast, "v4.0" beat out "v3.20" by a slimmer margin of 56-to-44%,
      but with a total of 29,110 votes right now.
      
      Now, arguably, that vote spread is only about 3,200 votes, which is less
      than the almost six thousand votes that the "please ignore" poll got, so
      it could be considered noise.
      
      But hey, I asked, so I'll honor the votes.

      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 ...

        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

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

      perf evlist: Introduce set_filter_pid method · cfd70a26
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      To filter out events for a certain pid, for instance, when tracing
      system wide, so that the tracer itself doesn't creates an event loop.

      perf trace: Only insert blank duration bracket when tracing syscalls · 0808921a
      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:
      
       # trace --no-sys --ev probe:*
       84481.704 (         ): probe:vfs_getname:(ffffffff811ed023) pathname="/etc/services")
       84481.892 (         ): probe:vfs_getname:(ffffffff811ed023) pathname="/etc/services")
       84482.230 (         ): probe:vfs_getname:(ffffffff811ed023) pathname="/etc/resolv.conf")
       84482.481 (         ): probe:vfs_getname:(ffffffff811ed023) pathname="/etc/hosts")
       85097.725 (         ): probe:vfs_getname:(ffffffff811ed023) pathname="/root"
       #
      
      After:
      
       # trace --no-sys --ev probe:*
       0.000 probe:vfs_getname:(ffffffff811ed023) pathname="/root")
       1.711 probe:vfs_getname:(ffffffff811ed023) pathname="/etc/localtime")
       2.103 probe:vfs_getname:(ffffffff811ed023) pathname="/etc/localtime")
