perf scripts python: Support Arm CoreSight trace data disassembly

2022-05-27T16:22:14Z

This commit adds python script to parse CoreSight tracing event and print out source line and disassembly, it generates readable program execution flow for easier humans inspecting. The script receives CoreSight tracing packet with below format: +------------+------------+------------+ packet(n): | addr | ip | cpu | +------------+------------+------------+ packet(n+1): | addr | ip | cpu | +------------+------------+------------+ packet::addr presents the start address of the coming branch sample, and packet::ip is the last address of the branch smple. Therefore, a code section between branches starts from packet(n)::addr and it stops at packet(n+1)::ip. As results we combines the two continuous packets to generate the address range for instructions: [ sample(n)::addr .. sample(n+1)::ip ] The script supports both objdump or llvm-objdump for disassembly with specifying option '-d'. If doesn't specify option '-d', the script simply outputs source lines and symbols. Below shows usages with llvm-objdump or objdump to output disassembly. # perf script -s scripts/python/arm-cs-trace-disasm.py -- -d llvm-objdump-11 -k ./vmlinux ARM CoreSight Trace Data Assembler Dump ffff800008eb3198 : ffff800008eb3310: c0 38 00 35 cbnz w0, 0xffff800008eb3a28 ffff800008eb3314: 9f 3f 03 d5 dsb sy ffff800008eb3318: df 3f 03 d5 isb ffff800008eb331c: f5 5b 42 a9 ldp x21, x22, [sp, #32] ffff800008eb3320: fb 73 45 a9 ldp x27, x28, [sp, #80] ffff800008eb3324: e0 82 40 39 ldrb w0, [x23, #32] ffff800008eb3328: 60 00 00 34 cbz w0, 0xffff800008eb3334 ffff800008eb332c: e0 03 19 aa mov x0, x25 ffff800008eb3330: 8c fe ff 97 bl 0xffff800008eb2d60 main 6728/6728 [0004] 0.000000000 etm4_enable_hw+0x198 [kernel.kallsyms] ffff800008eb2d60 : ffff800008eb2d60: 1f 20 03 d5 nop ffff800008eb2d64: 1f 20 03 d5 nop ffff800008eb2d68: 3f 23 03 d5 hint #25 ffff800008eb2d6c: 00 00 40 f9 ldr x0, [x0] ffff800008eb2d70: 9f 3f 03 d5 dsb sy ffff800008eb2d74: 00 c0 3e 91 add x0, x0, #4016 ffff800008eb2d78: 1f 00 00 b9 str wzr, [x0] ffff800008eb2d7c: bf 23 03 d5 hint #29 ffff800008eb2d80: c0 03 5f d6 ret main 6728/6728 [0004] 0.000000000 etm4_cs_lock.isra.0.part.0+0x20 # perf script -s scripts/python/arm-cs-trace-disasm.py -- -d objdump -k ./vmlinux ARM CoreSight Trace Data Assembler Dump ffff800008eb3310 : ffff800008eb3310: 350038c0 cbnz w0, ffff800008eb3a28 ffff800008eb3314: d5033f9f dsb sy ffff800008eb3318: d5033fdf isb ffff800008eb331c: a9425bf5 ldp x21, x22, [sp, #32] ffff800008eb3320: a94573fb ldp x27, x28, [sp, #80] ffff800008eb3324: 394082e0 ldrb w0, [x23, #32] ffff800008eb3328: 34000060 cbz w0, ffff800008eb3334 ffff800008eb332c: aa1903e0 mov x0, x25 ffff800008eb3330: 97fffe8c bl ffff800008eb2d60 main 6728/6728 [0004] 0.000000000 etm4_enable_hw+0x198 [kernel.kallsyms] ffff800008eb2d60 : ffff800008eb2d60: d503201f nop ffff800008eb2d64: d503201f nop ffff800008eb2d68: d503233f paciasp ffff800008eb2d6c: f9400000 ldr x0, [x0] ffff800008eb2d70: d5033f9f dsb sy ffff800008eb2d74: 913ec000 add x0, x0, #0xfb0 ffff800008eb2d78: b900001f str wzr, [x0] ffff800008eb2d7c: d50323bf autiasp ffff800008eb2d80: d65f03c0 ret main 6728/6728 [0004] 0.000000000 etm4_cs_lock.isra.0.part.0+0x20 Signed-off-by: Leo Yan Co-authored-by: Al Grant Co-authored-by: Mathieu Poirier Co-authored-by: Tor Jeremiassen Cc: Adrian Hunter Cc: Alexander Shishkin Cc: Eelco Chaudron Cc: German Gomez Cc: Ian Rogers Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: James Clark Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Mark Rutland Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Stephen Brennan Cc: Tanmay Jagdale Cc: coresight@lists.linaro.org Cc: zengshun . wu Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220521130446.4163597-3-leo.yan@linaro.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf scripts python: intel-pt-events.py: Print ptwrite value as a string if it is ASCII

2022-05-17T14:56:15Z

It can be convenient to put a string value into a ptwrite payload as a quick and easy way to identify what is being printed. To make that useful, if the Intel ptwrite payload value contains only printable ASCII characters padded with NULLs, then print it also as a string. Using the example program from the "Emulated PTWRITE" section of tools/perf/Documentation/perf-intel-pt.txt: $ echo -n "Hello" | od -t x8 0000000 0000006f6c6c6548 0000005 $ perf record -e intel_pt//u ./eg_ptw 0x0000006f6c6c6548 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.016 MB perf.data ] $ perf script --itrace=ew intel-pt-events.py Intel PT Branch Trace, Power Events, Event Trace and PTWRITE Switch In 38524/38524 [001] 24166.044995916 0/0 eg_ptw 38524/38524 [001] 24166.045380004 ptwrite jmp IP: 0 payload: 0x6f6c6c6548 Hello 56532c7ce196 perf_emulate_ptwrite+0x16 (/home/ahunter/git/work/eg_ptw) End Signed-off-by: Adrian Hunter Cc: Jiri Olsa Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220509152400.376613-4-adrian.hunter@intel.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf scripts python: intel-pt-events.py: Fix printing of switch events

2021-12-28T20:26:25Z

The intel-pt-events.py script displays only the last of consecutive switch statements but that may not be the last switch event for the CPU. Fix by keeping a dictionary of last context switch keyed by CPU, and make it possible to see all switch events by adding option --all-switch-events.
