* perf events: Change perf parameter --pid to process-wide collection instead ↵Zhang, Yanmin2010-03-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | of thread-wide Parameter --pid (or -p) of perf currently means a thread-wide collection. For exmaple, if a process whose id is 8888 has 10 threads, 'perf top -p 8888' just collects the main thread statistics. That's misleading. Users are used to attach a whole process when debugging a process by gdb. To follow normal usage style, the patch change --pid to process-wide collection and add --tid (-t) to mean a thread-wide collection. Usage example is: # perf top -p 8888 # perf record -p 8888 -f sleep 10 # perf stat -p 8888 -f sleep 10 Above commands collect the statistics of all threads of process 8888.

* perf record: Enable counters only when kernel is execing subcommandZhang, Yanmin2010-03-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 'perf record' starts counters before subcommand is execed, so the statistics is not precise because it includes data of some preparation steps. I fix it with the patch. In addition, change the condition to fork/exec subcommand. If there is a subcommand parameter, perf always fork/exec it. The usage example is: # perf record -f -a sleep 10 So this command could collect statistics for 10 seconds precisely. User still could stop it by CTRL+C. Without the new capability, user could only input CTRL+C to stop it without precise time clock.

* perf stat: Enable counters when collecting process-wide or system-wide dataZhang, Yanmin2010-03-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Command 'perf stat' doesn't enable counters when collecting an existing (by -p) process or system-wide statistics. Fix the issue. Change the condition of fork/exec subcommand. If there is a subcommand parameter, perf always forks/execs it. The usage example is: # perf stat -a sleep 10 So this command could collect statistics for 10 seconds precisely. User still could stop it by CTRL+C. Without the new capability, user could only use CTRL+C to stop it without precise time clock. Another issue is 'perf stat -a' consumes 100% time of a full single logical cpu. It has a bad impact on running workload. Fix it by adding a sleep(1) in the while(!done) loop in function run_perf_stat.

* perf probe: Fix !dwarf buildIngo Molnar2010-03-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix the !drawf build. This uses the existing NO_DWARF_SUPPORT mechanism we use for that, but it's really fragile and needs a cleanup. (in a separate patch) 1) Such uses: #ifndef NO_DWARF_SUPPORT are double inverted logic a'la 'not not'. Instead the flag should be called DWARF_SUPPORT. 2) Furthermore, assymetric #ifdef polluted code flow like: if (need_dwarf) #ifdef NO_DWARF_SUPPORT die("Debuginfo-analysis is not supported"); #else /* !NO_DWARF_SUPPORT */ pr_debug("Some probes require debuginfo.\n"); fd = open_vmlinux(); is very fragile and not acceptable. Instead of that helper functions should be created and the dwarf/no-dwarf logic should be separated more cleanly. 3) Local variable #ifdefs like this: #ifndef NO_DWARF_SUPPORT int fd; #endif Are fragile as well and should be eliminated. Helper functions achieve that too.

P4 uses a tuple of ESCR+CCCR+COUNTER MSR registers to handle perfomance monitoring events. A few implementational details: 1) We need a separate x86_pmu::hw_config helper in struct x86_pmu since register bit-fields are quite different from P6, Core and later cpu series. 2) For the same reason is a x86_pmu::schedule_events helper introduced. 3) hw_perf_event::config consists of packed ESCR+CCCR values. It's allowed since in reality both registers only use a half of their size. Of course before making a real write into a particular MSR we need to unpack the value and extend it to a proper size. 4) The tuple of packed ESCR+CCCR in hw_perf_event::config doesn't describe the memory address of ESCR MSR register so that we need to keep a mapping between these tuples used and available ESCR (various P4 events may use same ESCRs but not simultaneously), for this sake every active event has a per-cpu map of hw_perf_event::idx <--> ESCR addresses. 5) Since hw_perf_event::idx is an offset to counter/control register we need to lift X86_PMC_MAX_GENERIC up, otherwise kernel strips it down to 8 registers and event armed may never be turned off (ie the bit in active_mask is set but the loop never reaches this index to check), thanks to Peter Zijlstra Restrictions: - No cascaded counters support (do we ever need them?) - No dependent events support (so PERF_COUNT_HW_INSTRUCTIONS doesn't work for now) - There are events with same counters which can't work simultaneously (need to use intersected ones due to broken counter 1) - No PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_ events yet Todo: - Implement dependent events - Need proper hashing for event opcodes (no linear search, good for debugging stage but not in real loads) - Some events counted during a clock cycle -- need to set threshold for them and count every clock cycle just to get summary statistics (ie to behave the same way as other PMUs do) - Need to swicth to use event_constraints - To support RAW events we need to encode a global list of P4 events into p4_templates - Cache events need to be added Event support status matrix: Event status ----------------------------- cycles works cache-references works cache-misses works branch-misses works bus-cycles partially (does not work on 64bit cpu with HT enabled) instruction doesnt work (needs dependent event [mop tagging]) branches doesnt work Signed-off-by: Cyrill Gorcunov <gorcunov@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: Lin Ming <ming.m.lin@intel.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Cc: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> LKML-Reference: <20100311165439.GB5129@lenovo> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

The work needed to support it will benefit other frontends too. In this initial patch it just checks if the output is a tty, if not it falls back to the previous behaviour, also if newt-devel/libnewt-dev is not installed the previous behaviour is maintaned. Pressing enter on a symbol will annotate it, ESC in the annotation window will return to the report symbol list. More work will be done to remove the special casing in color_fprintf, stop using fmemopen/FILE in the printing of hist_entries, etc. Also the annotation doesn't need to be done via spawning "perf annotate" and then browsing its output, we can do better by calling directly the builtin-annotate.c functions, that would then be moved to tools/perf/util/annotate.c and shared with perf top, etc But lets go by baby steps, this patch already improves perf usability by allowing to quickly do annotations on symbols from the report screen and provides a first experimentation with libnewt/TUI integration of tools.
