* perf session: Parse sample earlierArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2010-12-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | At perf_session__process_event, so that we reduce the number of lines in eache tool sample processing routine that now receives a sample_data pointer already parsed. This will also be useful in the next patch, where we'll allow sample the identity fields in MMAP, FORK, EXIT, etc, when it will be possible to see (cpu, timestamp) just after before every event. Also validate callchains in perf_session__process_event, i.e. as early as possible, and keep a counter of the number of events discarded due to invalid callchains, warning the user about it if it happens. There is an assumption that was kept that all events have the same sample_type, that will be dealt with in the future, when this preexisting limitation will be removed.

| * perf stat: Add csv-style outputStephane Eranian2010-12-01

The user can pass a custom separator. This makes it very easy to import counts directly into your favorite spreadsheet without having to write scripts.

Commiter note: Since we enabled --big-num by default in 201e0b0 and -x can't be used with it, we need to notice if the user explicitely enabled or disabled -B, add code to disable big_num if the user didn't explicitely set --big_num when -x is used.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are number of issues that prevent the use of multiple tracepoint events being specified in a -e/--event switch, separated by commas. For example, perf stat -e irq:irq_handler_entry,irq:irq_handler_exit ... fails because the tracepoint event parsing code doesn't recognize the comma separator properly.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Profiling perf with perf revealed that a large part of the processing time is spent in malloc/memcpy/free in the sample ordering code. That code copies the data from the mmap into malloc'ed memory. That's silly. We can keep the mmap and just store the pointer in the queuing data structure. For 64 bit this is not a problem as we map the whole file anyway. On 32bit we keep 8 maps around and unmap the oldest before mmaping the next chunk of the file.

* | perf record: Add option to disable collecting build-idsArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2010-11-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Collecting build-ids for long running sessions may take a long time because it needs to traverse the whole just collected perf.data stream of events, marking the DSOs that had hits and then looking for the .note.gnu.build-id ELF section. For things like the 'trace' tool that records and right away consumes the data on systems where its unlikely that the DSOs being monitored will change while 'trace' runs, it is desirable to remove build id collection, so add a -B/--no-buildid option to perf record to allow such use case. Longer term we'll avoid all this if we, at DSO load time, in the kernel, take advantage of this slow code path to collect the build-id and stash it somewhere, so that we can insert it in the PERF_RECORD_MMAP event.

* | perf stat: Change and clean up sys_perf_event_open error handlingCorey Ashford2010-11-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch makes several changes to "perf stat": - "perf stat" will no longer go ahead and run the application when one or more of the specified events could not be opened. - Use error() and die() instead of pr_err() so that the output is more consistent with "perf top" and "perf record". - Handle permission errors in a more robust way, and in a similar way to "perf record" and "perf top". In addition, the sys_perf_event_open() error handling of "perf top" and "perf record" is made more consistent and adds the following phrase when an event doesn't open (with something ther than an access or permission error): "/bin/dmesg may provide additional information." This is added because kernel code doesn't have a good way of expressing detailed errors to user space, so its only avenue is to use printk's. However, many users may not think of looking at dmesg to find out why an event is being rejected.

The problem with hardcoded paths is that it prevents them from being overridden by $prefix or by -I in CFLAGS (e.g., for cross-compiling purposes). Instead, just include the "elfutils/" subdirectory as a relative path when files are needed from that directory. Tested by building perf: - Cross-compiled for ARM on x86_64 - Built natively on x86_64 - Built on x86_64 with /usr/include/elfutils moved to another location and manually included in CFLAGS Acked-by: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@hitachi.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@hitachi.com> LKML-Reference: <1289945793-31441-1-git-send-email-rmorell@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: Robert Morell <rmorell@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
* | perf stat: Add no-aggregation mode to -aStephane Eranian2010-11-19
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds a new -A option to perf stat. If specified then perf stat does not aggregate counts across all monitored CPUs in system-wide mode, i.e., when using -a. This option is not supported in per-thread mode. Being able to get a per-cpu breakdown is useful to detect imbalances between CPUs when running a uniform workload than spans all monitored CPUs. The second version corrects the missing cpumap[] support, so that it works when the -C option is used. The third version fixes a missing cpumap[] in print_counter() and removes a stray patch in builtin-trace.c.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch attempts to make the perf trace command-line for live-mode commands more user-friendly and consistent with other perf commands. The main change it makes is to allow <commands> to be run as part of perf trace live-mode commands, as other perf commands do, instead of the system-wide traces they're currently hard-coded to by the shell scripts. With this patch, the following live-mode trace now works as expected: $ perf trace rw-by-pid ls -al The previous system-wide behavior for this command would still be available by explicitly specifying -a: $ perf trace rw-by-pid -a ls -al and if no <command> is specified, the output is also system-wide: $ perf trace rw-by-pid Because live-mode requires both record and report steps to be invoked, it isn't always possible to know which args to send to the report and which to send to the record steps - mainly this is the case for report scripts with optional args - in those cases it would be necessary to use separate 'perf trace record' and 'perf trace report' steps. For example: $ perf trace syscall-counts ls Here we can't decide whether ls should be passed as a param to the syscall-counts script or whether we should invoke ls as a <command>. In these cases, we just say that we'll ignore optional script params and always interpret the extra arguments as a <command>. If the user instead wants the other interpretation, that can be accomplished by using separate record and report commands explicitly: $ perf trace record syscall-counts $ perf trace report syscall-counts ls So the rules that this patch implements, which seem to make the most intuitive sense for live-mode commands: - for commands with optional args and commands with no args, no args are sent to the report script, all are sent to the record step - for 'top' commands i.e. that end with 'top', <commands> can't be used - all extra args are send to the report script as params - for commands with required args, the n required args are taken to be the first n args after the script name and sent to the report script, and the rest are sent to the record step Signed-off-by: Tom Zanussi <tom.zanussi@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@ghostprotocols.net>

If no command is given, or if the '-a' option is used, the recorded events are system-wide, as before. root@tropicana:~# perf trace record syscall-counts ls -al root@tropicana:~# perf trace ls-23152 [000] 39984.890387: sys_enter: NR 12 (0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0) ls-23152 [000] 39984.890404: sys_enter: NR 9 (0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0) root@tropicana:~# perf trace record syscall-counts -a ls -al root@tropicana:~# perf trace npviewer.bin-22297 [000] 39831.102709: sys_enter: NR 168 (0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0) ls-23111 [000] 39831.107679: sys_enter: NR 59 (0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0) Signed-off-by: Tom Zanussi <tom.zanussi@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@ghostprotocols.net>
