| * perf report: Add "Fractal" mode output - support callchains with relative ↵Frederic Weisbecker2009-07-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | overhead rate The current callchain displays the overhead rates as absolute: relative to the total overhead. This patch provides relative overhead percentage, in which each branch of the callchain tree is a independant instrumentated object. This provides a 'fractal' view of the call-chain profile: each sub-graph looks like a profile in itself - relative to its parent. You can produce such output by using the "fractal" mode that you can abbreviate via f, fr, fra, frac, etc... ./perf report -s sym -c fractal Example: 8.46% [k] copy_user_generic_string | |--52.01%-- generic_file_aio_read | do_sync_read | vfs_read | | | |--97.20%-- sys_pread64 | | system_call_fastpath | | pread64 | | | --2.81%-- sys_read | system_call_fastpath | __read | |--39.85%-- generic_file_buffered_write | __generic_file_aio_write_nolock | generic_file_aio_write | do_sync_write | reiserfs_file_write | vfs_write | | | |--97.05%-- sys_pwrite64 | | system_call_fastpath | | __pwrite64 | | | --2.95%-- sys_write | system_call_fastpath | __write_nocancel [...] Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Cc: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> LKML-Reference: <1246772361-9960-5-git-send-email-fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
| * perf_counter tools: callchains: Manage the cumul hits on the flyFrederic Weisbecker2009-07-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The cumul hits are the number of hits of every childs of a node plus the hits of the current nodes, required for percentage computing of a branch. Theses numbers are calculated during the sorting of the branches of the callchain tree using a depth first postfix traversal, so that cumulative hits are propagated in the right order. But if we plan to implement percentages relative to the parent and not absolute percentages (relative to the whole overhead), we need to know the cumulative hits of the parent before computing the children because the relative minimum acceptable number of entries (ie: minimum rate against the cumulative hits from the parent) is the basis to filter the children against a given rate. Then we need to handle the cumul hits on the fly to prepare the implementation of relative overhead rates.

| * perf report: Change default callchain parametersFrederic Weisbecker2009-07-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The default callchain parameters are set to use the flat mode and never filter any overhead threshold of backtrace. But flat mode is boring compared to graph mode. Also the number of callchains may be very high if none is filtered. Let's change this to set the graph view and a minimum overhead of 0.5% as default parameters.

| * perf report: Use a modifiable string for default callchain optionsFrederic Weisbecker2009-07-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the user doesn't provide options to tune his callchain output (ie: if he uses -c without arguments) then the default value passed in the OPT_CALLBACK_DEFAULT() macro is used. But it's parsed later by strtok() which will replace comma separators to a zero. This may segfault as we are using a read-only string. Use a modifiable one instead, and also fix the "100%" default minimum threshold value by turning it into a 0 (output every callchains) as it was intended in the origin.

This patch provides a new helper OPT_CALLBACK_DEFAULT() which defines such kind of option. For example, considering an option -c, we want to get the default value in the following cases: perf command -c -d perf command -d -c And the foo value when it's given: perf command -c foo -d perf command -d -c foo That's also why PARSE_OPT_LASTARG_DEFAULT is extended here to support default values whatever the position of the option, not only in the end. Should it now be renamed to PARSE_OPT_ARG_DEFAULT ?

The head is the children field of the parent and the list nodes are in the brothers field of the children. This is because the childs are linked to the parent as a list of "brothers" using the "children" list of the parent as a head: --------------- | Parent (head) |------------------------------------- --------------- | | | children | | | ----------- ----------- | | 1st child |---brother---| 2nd child |---brother----- ----------- ----------- This makes the following strange pattern often occuring: list_for_each_entry(child, &parent->children, brothers) { // do something with children } Abstract it to chain_for_each_child() to factorize and simplify this pattern.

| * perf_counter tools: Rework event string parsing/syntaxPaul Mackerras2009-07-01

It is now structured as a recursive descent parser for the following grammar: events ::= event ( ("," | space) space* event )* event ::= ( raw_event | numeric_event | symbolic_event | generic_hw_event ) [ event_modifier ] raw_event ::= "r" hex_number numeric_event ::= number ":" number number ::= decimal_number | "0x" hex_number | "0" octal_number symbolic_event ::= string_from_event_symbols_array generic_hw_event::= cache_type ( "-" ( cache_op | cache_result ) )* event_modifier ::= ":" ( "u" | "k" | "h" )+ with the extra restriction that you can have at most one cache_op and at most one cache_result. We pass the current string pointer by reference (i.e. as a const char **) to the various parsing functions so that they can advance the pointer to indicate how much they consumed. They return 0 if they didn't recognize the thing at the pointer or 1 if they did (and advance the pointer past it). This also fixes parse_aliases to take the longest matching alias from the table, not the first one. Otherwise "l1-data" would match the "l1-d" alias and the "ata" would not be consumed. This allows event modifiers indicating what processor modes to count in to be applied to any event, not just numeric events, and adds a ":h" modifier to indicate counting in hypervisor mode. Specifying ":u" now sets both exclude_kernel and exclude_hv, and so on. Multiple modes can be specified, e.g. ":uk" will count in user or hypervisor mode (i.e. only exclude_kernel will be set).

| * perf_counter tools: Various fixes for callchainsFrederic Weisbecker2009-07-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The symbol resolving has of course revealed some bugs in the callchain tree handling. This patch fixes some of them, including: - inherit the children from the parents while splitting a node - fix list range moving - fix indexes setting in callchains - create a child on the current node if the path doesn't match in the existent children (was only done on the root) - compare using symbols when possible so that we can match a function using any ip inside by referring to its start address. The practical effects are: - remove double callchains - fix upside down or any random order of callchains - fix wrong paths - fix bad hits and percentage accounts Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> LKML-Reference: <1246419315-9968-4-git-send-email-fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Thus the counters count the fork and various other activity in both the parent and child, such as the resolver overhead for resolving PLT entries for any libc functions that haven't been called before, such as execvp. This reduces the overhead by creating the counters on the child process after the fork, using a couple of pipes to synchronize so that the child process waits until the parent has created the counters before doing the exec. To eliminate the PLT resolution overhead on calling execvp, this does a dummy execvp first which will always fail. With this, the overhead of executing a program goes down from over 4800 instructions to about 90 instructions on powerpc (32-bit). This was measured with a statically-linked program written in assembler which only does the 3 instructions needed to call _exit(0).

| * perf stat: Micro-optimize the code: memcpy is only required if no event is ↵Jaswinder Singh Rajput2009-06-28

Setting of attrs should depend on number of counters, so we need to memcpy only for sizeof(default_attrs) Also set nr_counters as ARRAY_SIZE(default_attrs) in place of hardcoded value.
