* perfcounter: Handle some IO return valuesFrederic Weisbecker2009-06-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Building perfcounter tools raises the following warnings: builtin-record.c: In function ‘atexit_header’: builtin-record.c:464: erreur: ignoring return value of ‘pwrite’, declared with attribute warn_unused_result builtin-record.c: In function ‘__cmd_record’: builtin-record.c:503: erreur: ignoring return value of ‘read’, declared with attribute warn_unused_result builtin-report.c: In function ‘__cmd_report’: builtin-report.c:1403: erreur: ignoring return value of ‘read’, declared with attribute warn_unused_result This patch handles these IO return values.

* perf_counter tools: Define and use our own u64, s64 etc. definitionsPaul Mackerras2009-06-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On 64-bit powerpc, __u64 is defined to be unsigned long rather than unsigned long long. This causes compiler warnings every time we print a __u64 value with %Lx. Rather than changing __u64, we define our own u64 to be unsigned long long on all architectures, and similarly s64 as signed long long. For consistency we also define u32, s32, u16, s16, u8 and s8. These definitions are put in a new header, types.h, because these definitions are needed in util/string.h and util/symbol.h. The main change here is the mechanical change of __[us]{64,32,16,8} to remove the "__". The other changes are: * Create types.h * Include types.h in perf.h, util/string.h and util/symbol.h * Add types.h to the LIB_H definition in Makefile * Added (u64) casts in process_overflow_event() and print_sym_table() to kill two remaining warnings.

* perf_counter: tools: Makefile tweaks for 64-bit powerpcPaul Mackerras2009-06-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | On 64-bit powerpc, perf needs to be built as a 64-bit executable. This arranges to add the -m64 flag to CFLAGS if we are running on a 64-bit machine, indicated by the result of uname -m ending in "64". This means that we'll use -m64 on x86_64 machines as well.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | features Instead of the ambigious 'call' naming use the much more specific 'parent' naming: - rename --call <regex> to --parent <regex> - rename --sort call to --sort parent - rename [unmatched] to [other] - to signal that this is not an error but the inverse set Also add pagefaults to the default parent-symbol pattern too, as it's a 'syscall overhead category' in a sense.

* perf report: Add per system call overhead histogramIngo Molnar2009-06-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Take advantage of call-graph percounter sampling/recording to display a non-trivial histogram: the true, collapsed/summarized cost measurement, on a per system call total overhead basis: aldebaran:~/linux/linux/tools/perf> ./perf record -g -a -f ~/hackbench 10 aldebaran:~/linux/linux/tools/perf> ./perf report -s symbol --syscalls | head -10 # # (3536 samples) # # Overhead Symbol # ........ ...... # 40.75% [k] sys_write 40.21% [k] sys_read 4.44% [k] do_nmi ... This is done by accounting each (reliable) call-chain that chains back to a given system call to that system call function. [ So in the above example we can see that hackbench spends about 40% of its total time somewhere in sys_write() and 40% somewhere in sys_read(), the rest of the time is spent in user-space. The time is not spent in sys_write() _itself_ but in one of its many child functions. ] Or, a recording of a (source files are already in the page-cache) kernel build: $ perf record -g -m 512 -f -- make -j32 kernel $ perf report -s s --syscalls | grep '\[k\]' | grep -v nmi 4.14% [k] do_page_fault 1.20% [k] sys_write 1.10% [k] sys_open 0.63% [k] sys_exit_group 0.48% [k] smp_apic_timer_interrupt 0.37% [k] sys_read 0.37% [k] sys_execve 0.20% [k] sys_mmap 0.18% [k] sys_close 0.14% [k] sys_munmap 0.13% [k] sys_poll 0.09% [k] sys_newstat 0.07% [k] sys_clone 0.06% [k] sys_newfstat 0.05% [k] sys_access 0.05% [k] schedule Shows the true total cost of each syscall variant that gets used during a kernel build. This profile reveals it that pagefaults are the costliest, followed by read()/write(). An interesting detail: timer interrupts cost 0.5% - or 0.5 seconds per 100 seconds of kernel build-time. (this was done with HZ=1000) The summary is done in 'perf report', i.e. in the post-processing stage - so once we have a good call-graph recording, this type of non-trivial high-level analysis becomes possible.

* perf stat: Add feature to run and measure a command multiple timesIngo Molnar2009-06-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add the --repeat <n> feature to perf stat, which repeats a given command up to a 100 times, collects the stats and calculates an average and a stddev. For example, the following oneliner 'perf stat' command runs hackbench 5 times and prints a tabulated result of all metrics, with averages and noise levels (in percentage) printed: aldebaran:~/linux/linux/tools/perf> ./perf stat --repeat 5 ~/hackbench 10 Time: 0.117 Time: 0.108 Time: 0.089 Time: 0.088 Time: 0.100 Performance counter stats for '/home/mingo/hackbench 10' (5 runs): 1243.989586 task-clock-msecs # 10.460 CPUs ( +- 4.720% ) 47706 context-switches # 0.038 M/sec ( +- 19.706% ) 387 CPU-migrations # 0.000 M/sec ( +- 3.608% ) 17793 page-faults # 0.014 M/sec ( +- 0.354% ) 3770941606 cycles # 3031.329 M/sec ( +- 4.621% ) 1566372416 instructions # 0.415 IPC ( +- 2.703% ) 16783421 cache-references # 13.492 M/sec ( +- 5.202% ) 7128590 cache-misses # 5.730 M/sec ( +- 7.420% ) 0.118924455 seconds time elapsed. The goal of this feature is to allow the reliance on these accurate statistics and to know how many times a command has to be repeated for the noise to go down to an acceptable level. (The -v option can be used to see a line printed out as each run progresses.)

* perf annotate: Print the filename:line for annotated colored linesFrederic Weisbecker2009-06-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we have a colored line in perf annotate, ie a middle/high overhead one, it's sometimes useful to get the matching line and filename from the source file, especially this path prepares to another subsequent one which will print a sorted summary of midle/high overhead lines in the beginning of the output. Filename:Lines have the same color than the concerned ip lines. It can be slow because it relies on addr2line. We could also use objdump with -l but that implies we would have to bufferize objdump output and parse it to filter the relevant lines since we want to print a sorted summary in the beginning.

* perf_counter: Add forward/backward attribute ABI compatibilityPeter Zijlstra2009-06-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Provide for means of extending the perf_counter_attr in a 'natural' way. We allow growing the structure by appending fields at the end by specifying the full structure size inside it. When a new kernel sees a smaller (old) structure, it will 0 pad the tail. When an old kernel sees a larger (new) structure, it will verify the tail consists of 0s, otherwise fail. If we fail due to a size-mismatch, we return -E2BIG and write the kernel's native attribe size back into the provided structure. Furthermore, add some attribute verification, so that we'll fail counter creation when unknown bits are present (PERF_SAMPLE, PERF_FORMAT, or in the __reserved fields). (This ABI detail is introduced while keeping the existing syscall ABI.)

* perf top: Wait for a minimal set of events before reading first snapshotFrederic Weisbecker2009-06-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The first snapshot reading often occur before any events have been read in the mapped perfcounter files. Just wait until we have at least one event before starting the snapshot, or the delay before the first set of entries to be displayed may be long in case of low refresh rate. Note: we could also use a semaphore to wait before "print_entries" number of eveents is reached, but again this value is tunable and we can't ensure we will even reach it. Also we could base on a default mimimum set of entries for the first refresh, say 15, but again, the minimal sample is tunable, and we could end up displaying nothing until we have a minimal default set of events, which can take some time in case of high samples filters. Hence this simple solution which partially covers the default case.
