* perf tools: Handle relocatable kernelsArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2010-01-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | DSOs don't have this problem because the kernel emits a PERF_MMAP for each new executable mapping it performs on monitored threads. To fix the kernel case we simulate the same behaviour, by having 'perf record' to synthesize a PERF_MMAP for the kernel, encoded like this: [root@doppio ~]# perf record -a -f sleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.344 MB perf.data (~15038 samples) ] [root@doppio ~]# perf report -D | head -10 0xd0 [0x40]: event: 1 . . ... raw event: size 64 bytes . 0000: 01 00 00 00 00 00 40 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ......@........ . 0010: 00 00 00 81 ff ff ff ff 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ............... . 0020: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 5b 6b 65 72 6e 65 6c 2e ........ [kernel . 0030: 6b 61 6c 6c 73 79 6d 73 2e 5f 74 65 78 74 5d 00 kallsyms._text] . 0xd0 [0x40]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP 0/0: [0xffffffff81000000((nil)) @ (nil)]: [kernel.kallsyms._text] I.e. we identify such event as having: .pid = 0 .filename = [kernel.kallsyms.REFNAME] .start = REFNAME addr in /proc/kallsyms at 'perf record' time and use now a hardcoded value of '.text' for REFNAME. Then, later, in 'perf report', if there are any kernel hits and thus we need to resolve kernel symbols, we search for REFNAME and if its address changed, relocation happened and we thus must change the kernel mapping routines to one that uses .pgoff as the relocation to apply. This way we use the same mechanism used for the other DSOs and don't have to do a two pass in all the kernel symbols.

* perf session: Move kmaps to perf_sessionArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2009-12-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is still some more work to do to disentangle map creation from DSO loading, but this happens only for the kernel, and for the early adopters of perf diff, where this disentanglement matters most, we'll be testing different kernels, so no problem here. Further clarification: right now we create the kernel maps for the various modules and discontiguous kernel text maps when loading the DSO, we should do it as a two step process, first creating the maps, for multiple mappings with the same DSO store, then doing the dso load just once, for the first hit on one of the maps sharing this DSO backing store.

* perf symbols: Rename kthreads to kmaps, using another abstraction for itArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2009-12-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Using a struct thread instance just to hold the kernel space maps (vmlinux + modules) is overkill and confuses people trying to understand the perf symbols abstractions. The kernel maps are really present in all threads, i.e. the kernel is a library, not a separate thread. So introduce the 'map_groups' abstraction and use it for the kernel maps, now in the kmaps global variable. It, in turn, will move, together with the threads list to the perf_file abstraction, so that we can support multiple perf_file instances, needed by perf diff.

* perf: Make common SAMPLE_EVENT parserOGAWA Hirofumi2009-12-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, sample event data is parsed for each commands, and it is assuming that the data is not including other data. (E.g. timechart, trace, etc. can't parse the event if it has PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN) So, even if we record the superset data for multiple commands at a time, commands can't parse. etc. To fix it, this makes common sample event parser, and use it to parse sample event correctly. (PERF_SAMPLE_READ is unsupported for now though, it seems to be not using.)

* perf tools: Consolidate symbol resolving across all toolsArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2009-11-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now we have a very high level routine for simple tools to process IP sample events: int event__preprocess_sample(const event_t *self, struct addr_location *al, symbol_filter_t filter) It receives the event itself and will insert new threads in the global threads list and resolve the map and symbol, filling all this info into the new addr_location struct, so that tools like annotate and report can further process the event by creating hist_entries in their specific way (with or without callgraphs, etc). It in turn uses the new next layer function: void thread__find_addr_location(struct thread *self, u8 cpumode, enum map_type type, u64 addr, struct addr_location *al, symbol_filter_t filter) This one will, given a thread (userspace or the kernel kthread one), will find the given type (MAP__FUNCTION now, MAP__VARIABLE too in the near future) at the given cpumode, taking vdsos into account (userspace hit, but kernel symbol) and will fill all these details in the addr_location given. Tools that need a more compact API for plain function resolution, like 'kmem', can use this other one: struct symbol *thread__find_function(struct thread *self, u64 addr, symbol_filter_t filter) So, to resolve a kernel symbol, that is all the 'kmem' tool needs, its just a matter of calling: sym = thread__find_function(kthread, addr, NULL); The 'filter' parameter is needed because we do lazy parsing/loading of ELF symtabs or /proc/kallsyms. With this we remove more code duplication all around, which is always good, huh? :-) Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frédéric Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: John Kacur <jkacur@redhat.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> LKML-Reference: <1259346563-12568-12-git-send-email-acme@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
* perf tools: Reorganize event processing routines, lotsa dups killedArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2009-11-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While implementing event__preprocess_sample, that will do all of the symbol lookup in one convenient function, I noticed that util/process_event.[ch] were not being used at all, then started looking if there were other functions that could be shared and... All those functions really don't need to receive offset + head, the only thing they did was common to all of them, so do it at one place instead. Stats about number of each type of event processed now is done in a central place.

* perf tools: Generalize event synthesizing routinesArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2009-10-27
Because we will need it in 'perf top' to support userspace symbols for existing threads. Now we pass a callback that will receive the synthesized event and then write it to the output file in 'perf record' and in the upcoming patch for 'perf top' we will just immediatelly create the in memory representation of threads and maps.
