2012-02-13perf tools: Allow multiple threads or processes in record, stat, topDavid Ahern3-6/+6
Allow a user to collect events for multiple threads or processes using a comma separated list. e.g., collect data on a VM and its vhost thread: perf top -p 21483,21485 perf stat -p 21483,21485 -ddd perf record -p 21483,21485 or monitoring vcpu threads perf top -t 21488,21489 perf stat -t 21488,21489 -ddd perf record -t 21488,21489 Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1328718772-16688-1-git-send-email-dsahern@gmail.com Signed-off-by: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
2012-02-06perf doc: Allow producing documentation in a specified output directoryFranck Bui-Huu1-34/+52
Currently we can put the object files in a different directory by using 'O=' comand line argument. However the generated documentation files don't honor this directive, This patch fixes that. It's been tested for man target but the others seems currently broken so no tests have been done on them so far.

2011-12-23perf report: Accept fifos as input fileRobert Richter9-9/+9
The default input file for perf report is not handled the same way as perf record does it for its output file. This leads to unexpected behavior of perf report, etc. E.g.: # perf record -a -e cpu-cycles sleep 2 | perf report | cat failed to open perf.data: No such file or directory (try 'perf record' first) While perf record writes to a fifo, perf report expects perf.data to be read. This patch changes this to accept fifos as input file. Applies to the following commands: perf annotate perf buildid-list perf evlist perf kmem perf lock perf report perf sched perf script perf timechart Also fixes char const* -> const char* type declaration for filename strings. v2: * Prevent potential null pointer access to input_name in builtin-report.c.

2011-11-28perf tools: make -C consistent across commands (for cpu list arg)David Ahern3-4/+4
Currently the meaning of -C varies by perf command: for perf-top, perf-stat, perf-record it means cpu list. For perf-report it means comm list. Then perf-annotate, perf-report and perf-script use -c for cpu list. Fix annotate, report and script to use -C for cpu list to be consistent with top, stat and record. This means report needs to use -c for comm list which does introduce a backward compatibility change. v1 -> v2 - update perf-script.txt too Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1321209008-7004-1-git-send-email-dsahern@gmail.com Signed-off-by: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

2011-10-07perf tools: Make perf.data more self-descriptive (v8)Stephane Eranian2-0/+13
The goal of this patch is to include more information about the host environment into the perf.data so it is more self-descriptive. Overtime, profiles are captured on various machines and it becomes hard to track what was recorded, on what machine and when. This patch provides a way to solve this by extending the perf.data file with basic information about the host machine. To add those extensions, we leverage the feature bits capabilities of the perf.data format. The change is backward compatible with existing perf.data files. We define the following useful new extensions: - HEADER_HOSTNAME: the hostname - HEADER_OSRELEASE: the kernel release number - HEADER_ARCH: the hw architecture - HEADER_CPUDESC: generic CPU description - HEADER_NRCPUS: number of online/avail cpus - HEADER_CMDLINE: perf command line - HEADER_VERSION: perf version - HEADER_TOPOLOGY: cpu topology - HEADER_EVENT_DESC: full event description (attrs) - HEADER_CPUID: easy-to-parse low level CPU identication The small granularity for the entries is to make it easier to extend without breaking backward compatiblity. Many entries are provided as ASCII strings. Perf report/script have been modified to print the basic information as easy-to-parse ASCII strings. Extended information about CPU and NUMA topology may be requested with the -I option. Thanks to David Ahern for reviewing and testing the many versions of this patch. $ perf report --stdio # ======== # captured on : Mon Sep 26 15:22:14 2011 # hostname : quad # os release : 3.1.0-rc4-tip # perf version : 3.1.0-rc4 # arch : x86_64 # nrcpus online : 4 # nrcpus avail : 4 # cpudesc : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz # cpuid : GenuineIntel,6,15,11 # total memory : 8105360 kB # cmdline : /home/eranian/perfmon/official/tip/build/tools/perf/perf record date # event : name = cycles, type = 0, config = 0x0, config1 = 0x0, config2 = 0x0, excl_usr = 0, excl_kern = 0, id = { 29, 30, 31, # HEADER_CPU_TOPOLOGY info available, use -I to display # HEADER_NUMA_TOPOLOGY info available, use -I to display # ======== # ... $ perf report --stdio -I # ======== # captured on : Mon Sep 26 15:22:14 2011 # hostname : quad # os release : 3.1.0-rc4-tip # perf version : 3.1.0-rc4 # arch : x86_64 # nrcpus online : 4 # nrcpus avail : 4 # cpudesc : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz # cpuid : GenuineIntel,6,15,11 # total memory : 8105360 kB # cmdline : /home/eranian/perfmon/official/tip/build/tools/perf/perf record date # event : name = cycles, type = 0, config = 0x0, config1 = 0x0, config2 = 0x0, excl_usr = 0, excl_kern = 0, id = { 29, 30, 31, # sibling cores : 0-3 # sibling threads : 0 # sibling threads : 1 # sibling threads : 2 # sibling threads : 3 # node0 meminfo : total = 8320608 kB, free = 7571024 kB # node0 cpu list : 0-3 # ======== # ...

2011-10-07perf top: Reuse the 'report' hist_entry/hists classesArnaldo Carvalho de Melo1-3/+20
This actually fixes several problems we had in the old 'perf top': 1. Unresolved symbols not show, limitation that came from the old "KernelTop" codebase, to solve it we would need to do changes that would make sym_entry have most of the hist_entry fields. 2. It was using the number of samples, not the sum of sample->period. And brings the --sort code that allows us to have all the views in 'perf report', for instance: [root@emilia ~]# perf top --sort dso PerfTop: 5903 irqs/sec kernel:77.5% exact: 0.0% [1000Hz cycles], (all, 8 CPUs) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 31.59% libcrypto.so.1.0.0 21.55% [kernel] 18.57% libpython2.6.so.1.0 7.04% libc-2.12.so 6.99% _backend_agg.so 4.72% sshd 1.48% multiarray.so 1.39% libfreetype.so.6.3.22 1.37% perf 0.71% libgobject-2.0.so.0.2200.5 0.53% [tg3] 0.48% libglib-2.0.so.0.2200.5 0.44% libstdc++.so.6.0.13 0.40% libcairo.so.2.10800.8 0.38% libm-2.12.so 0.34% umath.so 0.30% libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0.1800.9 0.22% libpthread-2.12.so 0.20% libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.1800.9 0.20% librt-2.12.so 0.15% _path.so 0.13% libpango-1.0.so.0.2800.1 0.11% libatlas.so.3.0 0.09% ft2font.so 0.09% libpangoft2-1.0.so.0.2800.1 0.08% libX11.so.6.3.0 0.07% [vdso] 0.06% cyclictest ^C All the filter lists can be used as well: --dsos, --comms, --symbols, etc. The 'perf report' TUI is also reused, being possible to apply all the zoom operations, do annotation, etc. This change will allow multiple simplifications in the symbol system as well, that will be detailed in upcoming changesets.

2011-08-18perf stat: Add -o and --append optionsStephane Eranian1-0/+7
This patch adds an option (-o) to save the output of perf stat into a file. You could do this with perf record but not with perf stat. Instead, you had to fiddle with stderr to save the counts into a separate file. The patch also adds the --append option so that results can be concatenated into a single file across runs. Each run of the tool is clearly separated by a comment line starting with a hash mark. The -A option of perf record is already used by perf stat, so we only add a long option. $ perf stat -o res.txt date $ cat res.txt Performance counter stats for 'date': 0.791306 task-clock # 0.668 CPUs utilized 2 context-switches # 0.003 M/sec 0 CPU-migrations # 0.000 M/sec 197 page-faults # 0.249 M/sec 1878143 cycles # 2.373 GHz <not supported> stalled-cycles-frontend <not supported> stalled-cycles-backend 1083367 instructions # 0.58 insns per cycle 193027 branches # 243.935 M/sec 9014 branch-misses # 4.67% of all branches 0.001184746 seconds time elapsed The option can be combined with -x to make the output file much easier to parse.

2011-08-18perf annotate: Make output more readableStephane Eranian1-0/+8
This patch adds two new options to perf annotate: - --no-asm-raw : Do not display raw instruction encodings - --no-source : Do not interleave source code with assembly code We believe those options make the output of annotate more readable. Systematically displaying source can make it hard to follow code and especially optimized code. Raw encodings are not useful in most cases.

2011-07-15perf probe: Support adding probes on offline kernel modulesMasami Hiramatsu1-2/+4
Support adding probes on offline kernel modules. This enables perf-probe to trace kernel-module init functions via perf-probe. If user gives the path of module with -m option, perf-probe expects the module is offline. This feature works with --add, --funcs, and --vars. E.g) # perf probe -m /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/fs/btrfs/btrfs.ko \ -a "extent_io_init:5 extent_state_cache" Add new events: probe:extent_io_init (on extent_io_init:5 with extent_state_cache) probe:extent_io_init_1 (on extent_io_init:5 with extent_state_cache) You can now use it on all perf tools, such as: perf record -e probe:extent_io_init_1 -aR sleep 1 Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@hitachi.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@ghostprotocols.net> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20110627072751.6528.10230.stgit@fedora15 Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2011-07-05perf report/annotate/script: Add option to specify a CPU rangeAnton Blanchard3-0/+18
Add an option to perf report/annotate/script to specify which CPUs to operate on. This enables us to take a single system wide profile and analyse each CPU (or group of CPUs) in isolation. This was useful when profiling a multiprocess workload where the bottleneck was on one CPU but this was hidden in the overall profile. Per process and per thread breakdowns didn't help because multiple processes were running on each CPU and no single process consumed an entire CPU. The patch converts the list of CPUs returned by cpu_map__new into a bitmap for fast lookup. I wanted to use -C to be consistent with perf top/record/stat, but unfortunately perf report already uses -C <comms>. v2: Incorporate suggestions from David Ahern: - Added -c to perf script - Check that SAMPLE_CPU is set when -c is used - Update documentation v3: Create perf_session__cpu_bitmap() Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Acked-by: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@ghostprotocols.net> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20110704215750.11647eb9@kryten Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2011-02-16perf tools: Update Makefile with some helpJesse Brandeburg1-9/+10
The perf makefile is nicely complete except for a) an uninstall option b) a 'make help' description This patch implements b) it also comments out other non-working makefile targets Signed-off-by: Jesse Brandeburg <jesse.brandeburg@intel.com> LKML-Reference: <new-submission> Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
2011-02-16perf tool: Add cgroup supportStephane Eranian2-0/+22
This patch adds the ability to filter monitoring based on container groups (cgroups) for both perf stat and perf record. It is possible to monitor multiple cgroup in parallel. There is one cgroup per event. The cgroups to monitor are passed via a new -G option followed by a comma separated list of cgroup names. The cgroup filesystem has to be mounted. Given a cgroup name, the perf tool finds the corresponding directory in the cgroup filesystem and opens it. It then passes that file descriptor to the kernel. Example: $ perf stat -B -a -e cycles:u,cycles:u,cycles:u -G test1,,test2 -- sleep 1 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1': 2,368,667,414 cycles test1 2,369,661,459 cycles <not counted> cycles test2 1.001856890 seconds time elapsed Signed-off-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> LKML-Reference: <4d590290.825bdf0a.7d0a.4890@mx.google.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2011-01-28perf probe: Add filters support for available functionsMasami Hiramatsu1-4/+5
Add filters support for available function list. Default filter is "!_*" for filtering out local-purpose symbols. e.g.: # perf probe --filter="add*" -F add_disk add_disk_randomness add_input_randomness add_interrupt_randomness add_memory add_page_to_unevictable_list add_page_wait_queue ...

2011-01-28perf probe: Add variable filter supportMasami Hiramatsu1-0/+14
Add filters support for available variable list. Default filter is "!__k???tab_*&!__crc_*" for filtering out automatically generated symbols. The format of filter rule is "[!]GLOBPATTERN", so you can use wild cards. If the filter rule starts with '!', matched variables are filter out. e.g.: # perf probe -V schedule --externs --filter=cpu* Available variables at schedule @<schedule+0> cpumask_var_t cpu_callout_mask cpumask_var_t cpu_core_map cpumask_var_t cpu_isolated_map cpumask_var_t cpu_sibling_map int cpu_number long unsigned int* cpu_bit_bitmap ...
