| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When an IP with an unresolved symbol occurs in the callchain more than once (ie. recursion), then duplicate symbols can be created because the callchain nodes are never updated after they are first created. To fix this issue we call dso__find_symbol whenever we encounter a NULL symbol, in case we already added a symbol at that IP since we started traversing the callchain. This change prevents duplicate symbols from being exported when duplicate IPs are present in the callchain.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Use the dso__insert_symbol function instead of symbols__insert() in order to properly update the dso symbol cache.

However symbols__insert() does not update the dso symbol cache. This causes problems in the following scenario: 1. symbol not found at addr using dso__find_symbol 2. symbol inserted at addr using the existing symbols__insert function 3. symbol still not found at addr using dso__find_symbol() because cache isn't updated. This is undesired behavior. The undesired behavior in (3) is addressed by creating a new function, dso__insert_symbol() to both insert the symbol and update the symbol cache if necessary. If dso__insert_symbol() is used in (2) instead of symbols__insert(), then the undesired behavior in (3) is avoided.

The current code has the following problem: - The current implementation of symbols__find is unable to find any symbols of length zero. - The db-export framework explicitly creates zero length symbols at locations where no symbol currently exists. The combination of the two above behaviors results in behavior similar to the example below. 1. addr_location is created for a sample, but symbol is unable to be resolved. 2. db export creates an "unknown" symbol of length zero at that address and inserts it into the dso. 3. A new sample comes in at the same address, but symbol__find is unable to find the zero length symbol, so it is still unresolved. 4. db export sees the symbol is unresolved, and allocated a duplicate symbol, even though it already did this in step 2. This behavior continues every time an address without symbol information is seen, which causes a very large number of these symbols to be allocated. The effect of this fix can be observed by looking at the contents of an exported database before/after the fix (generated with scripts/python/export-to-postgresql.py) Ex. BEFORE THE CHANGE: example_db=# select count(*) from symbols; count -------- 900213 (1 row) example_db=# select count(*) from symbols where symbols.name='unknown'; count -------- 897355 (1 row) example_db=# select count(*) from symbols where symbols.name!='unknown'; count ------- 2858 (1 row) AFTER THE CHANGE: example_db=# select count(*) from symbols; count ------- 25217 (1 row) example_db=# select count(*) from symbols where name='unknown'; count ------- 22359 (1 row) example_db=# select count(*) from symbols where name!='unknown'; count ------- 2858 (1 row) Signed-off-by: Chris Phlipot <cphlipot0@gmail.com> Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1462612620-25008-1-git-send-email-cphlipot0@gmail.com [ Moved the test to later in the rb_tree tests, as this not the likely case ] Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

Ex.: $ perf script -s export-to-postgresql.py example_db all callchains Includes the following changes to enable callchain export via the python export APIs: - Add the "callchains" commandline option, which is used to enable callchain export by setting the perf_db_export_callchains global - Add perf_db_export_callchains checks for call_path table creation and population. - Add call_path_id to samples_table to conform with the new API example usage and output using a small test app: test_app.c: volatile int x = 0; void inc_x_loop() { int i; for(i=0; i<100000000; i++) x++; } void a() { inc_x_loop(); } void b() { inc_x_loop(); } int main() { a(); b(); return 0; } example usage: $ gcc -g -O0 test_app.c $ perf record --call-graph=dwarf ./a.out [ perf record: Woken up 77 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 19.373 MB perf.data (2404 samples) ] $ perf script -s scripts/python/export-to-postgresql.py example_db all callchains $ psql example_db example_db=# SELECT (SELECT name FROM symbols WHERE id = cps.symbol_id) as symbol, (SELECT name FROM symbols WHERE id = (SELECT symbol_id from call_paths where id = cps.parent_id)) as parent_symbol, sum(period) as event_count FROM samples join call_paths as cps on call_path_id = cps.id GROUP BY cps.id,evsel_id ORDER BY event_count DESC LIMIT 5; symbol | parent_symbol | event_count ------------------+--------------------------+------------- inc_x_loop | a | 734250982 inc_x_loop | b | 731028057 unknown | unknown | 1335858 task_tick_fair | scheduler_tick | 1238842 update_wall_time | tick_do_update_jiffies64 | 650373 (5 rows) The above data shows total "self time" in cycles for each call path that was sampled. It is intended to demonstrate how it accounts separately for the two ways to reach the "inc_x_loop" function(via "a" and "b"). Recursive common table expressions can be used as well to get cumulative time spent in a function as well, but that is beyond the scope of this basic example.

These call paths are also now associated with the samples from which they were derived. - This feature is enabled by setting "perf_db_export_callchains" to true - When enabled, samples that have callchain information will have the callchains exported via call_path_table - The call_path_id field is added to sample_table to enable association of samples with the corresponding callchain stored in the call paths table. A call_path_id of 0 will be exported if there is no corresponding callchain. - When "perf_db_export_callchains" and "perf_db_export_calls" are both set to True, the call path root data structure will be shared. This prevents duplicating of data and call path ids that would result from building two separate call path trees in memory. - The call_return_processor structure definition was relocated to the header file to make its contents visible to db-export.c. This enables the sharing of call path trees between the two features, as mentioned above. This change is visible to python scripts using the python db export api. The change is backwards compatible with scripts written against the previous API, assuming that the scripts model the sample_table function after the one in export-to-postgresql.py script by allowing for additional arguments to be added in the future. ie. using *x as the final argument of the sample_table function.

While callchains themselves are nice to have, being able to associate them with samples makes them much more useful, and can allow for such things as determining how much cumulative time is spent in a particular function. This information is normally possible to get from the call return processor. However, when doing normal sampling, call/return information is not available, thus necessitating the need for associating samples directly with call paths. This commit include changes to db-export layer to make this information available for subsequent patches in this change set, but by itself, does not make any changes visible to the user.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This change enables the db export api to export callchains. This is accomplished by adding callchains obtained from samples to the call_path_root structure and exporting them via the current call path export API. While the current API does support exporting call paths, this is not supported when sampling. This commit addresses that missing feature by allowing the export of call paths when callchains are present in samples. Summary: - This feature is activated by initializing the call_path_root member inside the db_export structure to a non-null value. - Callchains are resolved with thread__resolve_callchain() and then stored and exported by adding a call path under call path root. - Symbol and DSO for each callchain node are exported via db_ids_from_al() This commit puts in place infrastructure to be used by subsequent commits, and by itself, does not introduce any user-visible changes.

| * | | perf tools: Refactor code to move call path handling out of thread-stackChris Phlipot2016-05-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Move the call path handling code out of thread-stack.c and thread-stack.h to allow other components that are not part of thread-stack to create call paths. Summary: - Create call-path.c and call-path.h and add them to the build. - Move all call path related code out of thread-stack.c and thread-stack.h and into call-path.c and call-path.h. - A small subset of structures and functions are now visible through call-path.h, which is required for thread-stack.c to continue to compile. This change is a prerequisite for subsequent patches in this change set and by itself contains no user-visible changes.

| * | | perf callchain: Fix incorrect ordering of entriesChris Phlipot2016-05-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The existing implementation of thread__resolve_callchain, under certain circumstances, can assemble callchain entries in the incorrect order. The callchain entries are resolved incorrectly for a sample when all of the following conditions are met: 1. callchain_param.order is set to ORDER_CALLER 2. thread__resolve_callchain_sample is able to resolve callchain entries for the sample. 3. unwind__get_entries is also able to resolve callchain entries for the sample. The fix is accomplished by reversing the order in which thread__resolve_callchain_sample and unwind__get_entries are called when callchain_param.order is set to ORDER_CALLER. Unwind specific code from thread__resolve_callchain is also moved into a new static function to improve readability of the fix. How to Reproduce the Existing Bug: Modifying perf script to print call trees in the opposite order or applying the remaining patches from this series and comparing the results output from export-to-postgtresql.py are the easiest ways to see the bug, however it can still be seen in current builds using perf report. Here is how i can reproduce the bug using perf report: # perf record --call-graph=dwarf stress -c 1 -t 5 when i run this command: # perf report --call-graph=flat,0,0,callee This callchain, containing kernel (handle_irq_event, etc) and userspace samples (__libc_start_main, etc) is contained in the output, which looks correct (callee order): gen8_irq_handler handle_irq_event_percpu handle_irq_event handle_edge_irq handle_irq do_IRQ ret_from_intr __random rand 0x558f2a04dded 0x558f2a04c774 __libc_start_main 0x558f2a04dcd9 Now run this command using caller order: # perf report --call-graph=flat,0,0,caller It is expected to see the exact reverse of the above when using caller order (with "0x558f2a04dcd9" at the top and "gen8_irq_handler" at the bottom) in the output, but it is nowhere to be found. instead you see this: ret_from_intr do_IRQ handle_irq handle_edge_irq handle_irq_event handle_irq_event_percpu gen8_irq_handler 0x558f2a04dcd9 __libc_start_main 0x558f2a04c774 0x558f2a04dded rand __random Notice how internally the kernel symbols are reversed and the user space symbols are reversed, but the kernel symbols still appear above the user space symbols. if this patch is applied and perf script is re-run, you will see the expected output (with "0x558f2a04dcd9" at the top and "gen8_irq_handler" at the bottom): 0x558f2a04dcd9 __libc_start_main 0x558f2a04c774 0x558f2a04dded rand __random ret_from_intr do_IRQ handle_irq handle_edge_irq handle_irq_event handle_irq_event_percpu gen8_irq_handler Signed-off-by: Chris Phlipot <cphlipot0@gmail.com> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Acked-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1461831551-12213-2-git-send-email-cphlipot0@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
| * | | perf trace: Do not print raw args list for syscalls with no argsArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2016-05-06

So instead before dumping the raw syscall args list check IS_ERR(sc->tp_format), if that is true, then an attempt was made to read the format file and failed, in which case dump the raw arg list values.

Original name 'old' and 'head' directly related to pointers in ring buffer control page. For backward ring buffer, the meaning of 'head' point is not 'the first byte of free space', but 'the first byte of the last record'. To reduce confusion, rename 'old' to 'start', 'head' to 'end'. 'start' -> 'end' is the direction the records should be read from. Change parameter order. Change 'overwrite' to 'check_messup'. When reading from 'head', no need to check messup for for backward ring buffer.

| * | | perf symbols: Fix kallsyms perf test on ppc64leNaveen N. Rao2016-05-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ppc64le functions have a Global Entry Point (GEP) and a Local Entry Point (LEP). While placing a probe, we always prefer the LEP since it catches function calls through both the GEP and the LEP. In order to do this, we fixup the function entry points during elf symbol table lookup to point to the LEPs. This works, but breaks 'perf test kallsyms' since the symbols loaded from the symbol table (pointing to the LEP) do not match the symbols in kallsyms. To fix this, we do not adjust all the symbols during symbol table load. Instead, we note down st_other in a newly introduced arch-specific member of perf symbol structure, and later use this to adjust the probe trace point.
