2017-10-27perf script: Allow creating per-event dump filesArnaldo Carvalho de Melo1-0/+4
Introduce a new option to dump trace output to files named by the monitored events and update perf-script documentation accordingly. Shown below is output of perf script command with the newly introduced option. $ perf record -e cycles -e cs -ag -- sleep 1 $ perf script --per-event-dump $ ls perf.data.cycles.dump perf.data.cs.dump Without per-event-dump support, drawing flamegraphs for different events would require post processing to separate events. You can monitor only one event at a time if you want to get flamegraphs for different events. Using this option, you can get the trace output files named by the monitored events, and could draw flamegraphs according to the event's name.

2017-09-13perf stat: Support JSON metrics in perf statAndi Kleen1-0/+7
Add generic support for standalone metrics specified in JSON files to perf stat. A metric is a formula that uses multiple events to compute a higher level result (e.g. IPC). Previously metrics were always tied to an event and automatically enabled with that event. But now change it that we can have standalone metrics. They are in the same JSON data structure as events, but don't have an event name. We also allow to organize the metrics in metric groups, which allows a short cut to select several related metrics at once. Add a new -M / --metrics option to perf stat that adds the metrics or metric groups specified. Add the core code to manage and parse the metric groups. They are collected from the JSON data structures into a separate rblist. When computing shadow values look for metrics in that list. Then they are computed using the existing saved values infrastructure in stat-shadow.c The actual JSON metrics are in a separate pull request. % perf stat -M Summary --metric-only -a sleep 1 Performance counter stats for 'system wide': Instructions CLKS CPU_Utilization GFLOPs SMT_2T_Utilization Kernel_Utilization 317614222.0 1392930775.0 0.0 0.0 0.2 0.1 1.001497549 seconds time elapsed % perf stat -M GFLOPs flops Performance counter stats for 'flops': 3,999,541,471 fp_comp_ops_exe.sse_scalar_single # 1.2 GFLOPs (66.65%) 14 fp_comp_ops_exe.sse_scalar_double (66.65%) 0 fp_comp_ops_exe.sse_packed_double (66.67%) 0 fp_comp_ops_exe.sse_packed_single (66.70%) 0 simd_fp_256.packed_double (66.70%) 0 simd_fp_256.packed_single (66.67%) 0 duration_time 3.238372845 seconds time elapsed v2: Add missing header file v3: Move find_map to pmu.c Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170831194036.30146-7-andi@firstfloor.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
2017-09-13perf tools: Support weak groups in 'perf stat'Andi Kleen1-0/+2
Setting up groups can be complicated due to the complicated scheduling restrictions of different PMUs. User tools usually don't understand all these restrictions. Still in many cases it is useful to set up groups and they work most of the time. However if the group is set up wrong some members will not report any value because they never get scheduled. Add a concept of a 'weak group': try to set up a group, but if it's not schedulable fallback to not using a group. That gives us the best of both worlds: groups if they work, but still a usable fallback if they don't. In theory it would be possible to have more complex fallback strategies (e.g. try to split the group in half), but the simple fallback of not using a group seems to work for now. So far the weak group is only implemented for perf stat, not for record. Here's an unschedulable group (on IvyBridge with SMT on) % perf stat -e '{branches,branch-misses,l1d.replacement,l2_lines_in.all,l2_rqsts.all_code_rd}' -a sleep 1 73,806,067 branches 4,848,144 branch-misses # 6.57% of all branches 14,754,458 l1d.replacement 24,905,558 l2_lines_in.all <not supported> l2_rqsts.all_code_rd <------- will never report anything With the weak group: % perf stat -e '{branches,branch-misses,l1d.replacement,l2_lines_in.all,l2_rqsts.all_code_rd}:W' -a sleep 1 125,366,055 branches (80.02%) 9,208,402 branch-misses # 7.35% of all branches (80.01%) 24,560,249 l1d.replacement (80.00%) 43,174,971 l2_lines_in.all (80.05%) 31,891,457 l2_rqsts.all_code_rd (79.92%) The extra event scheduled with some extra multiplexing v2: Move fallback code to separate function.

2017-06-21perf stat: Add support to measure SMI costKan Liang1-0/+14
Implementing a new --smi-cost mode in perf stat to measure SMI cost. During the measurement, the /sys/device/cpu/freeze_on_smi will be set. The measurement can be done with one counter (unhalted core cycles), and two free running MSR counters (IA32_APERF and SMI_COUNT). In practice, the percentages of SMI core cycles should be more useful than absolute value. So the output will be the percentage of SMI core cycles and SMI#. metric_only will be set by default. SMI cycles% = (aperf - unhalted core cycles) / aperf Here is an example output. Performance counter stats for 'sudo echo ': SMI cycles% SMI# 0.1% 1 0.010858678 seconds time elapsed Users who wants to get the actual value can apply additional --no-metric-only.

2017-06-19perf script: Support -F brstackoff,dsoMark Santaniello1-1/+3
The idea here is to make AutoFDO easier in cloud environment with ASLR. It's easiest to show how this is useful by example. I built a small test akin to "while(1) { do_nothing(); }" where the do_nothing function is loaded from a dso: $ cat burncpu.cpp #include <dlfcn.h> int main() { void* handle = dlopen("./dso.so", RTLD_LAZY); if (!handle) return -1; typedef void (*fp)(); fp do_nothing = (fp) dlsym(handle, "do_nothing"); while(1) { do_nothing(); } } $ cat dso.cpp extern "C" void do_nothing() {} $ cat build.sh #!/bin/bash g++ -shared dso.cpp -o dso.so g++ burncpu.cpp -o burncpu -ldl I sampled the execution of this program with perf record -b. Using the existing "brstack,dso", we get absolute addresses that are affected by ASLR, and could be different on different hosts. The address does not uniquely identify a branch/target in the binary: $ perf script -F brstack,dso | sed 's/\/0 /\/0\n/g' | grep burncpu | grep dso.so | head -n 1 0x7f967139b6aa(/tmp/burncpu/dso.so)/0x4006b1(/tmp/burncpu/exe)/P/-/-/0 Using the existing "brstacksym,dso" is a little better, because the symbol plus offset and dso name *does* uniquely identify a branch/target in the binary. Ultimately, however, AutoFDO wants a simple offset into the binary, so we'd have to undo all the work perf did to symbolize in the first place: $ perf script -F brstacksym,dso | sed 's/\/0 /\/0\n/g' | grep burncpu | grep dso.so | head -n 1 do_nothing+0x5(/tmp/burncpu/dso.so)/main+0x44(/tmp/burncpu/exe)/P/-/-/0 With the new "brstackoff,dso" we get what we need: a simple offset into a specific dso/binary that uniquely identifies a branch/target: $ perf script -F brstackoff,dso | sed 's/\/0 /\/0\n/g' | grep burncpu | grep dso.so | head -n 1 0x6aa(/tmp/burncpu/dso.so)/0x4006b1(/tmp/burncpu/exe)/P/-/-/0 Signed-off-by: Mark Santaniello <marksan@fb.com> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170619163825.2012979-2-marksan@fb.com [ Updated documentation about 'brstackoff' using text from above ] Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
2017-06-19perf script: Allow adding and removing fieldsAndi Kleen1-0/+8
With 'perf script' it is common that we just want to add or remove a field. Currently this requires figuring out the long list of default fields and specifying them first, and then adding/removing the new field. This patch adds a new + - syntax to merely add or remove fields, that allows more succint and clearer command lines For example to remove the comm field from PMU samples: Previously $ perf script -F tid,cpu,time,event,sym,ip,dso,period | head -1 swapper 0 [000] 504345.383126: 1 cycles: ffffffff90060c66 native_write_msr ([kernel.kallsyms]) with the new syntax perf script -F -comm | head -1 0 [000] 504345.383126: 1 cycles: ffffffff90060c66 native_write_msr ([kernel.kallsyms]) The new syntax cannot be mixed with normal overriding. v2: Fix example in description. Use tid vs pid. No functional changes. v3: Don't skip initialization when user specified explicit type. v4: Rebase. Remove empty line. Committer testing: # perf record -a usleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.748 MB perf.data (14 samples) ] Without a explicit field list specified via -F, defaults to: # perf script | head -2 perf 6338 [000] 18467.058607: 1 cycles: ffffffff89060c36 native_write_msr (/lib/modules/4.11.0-rc8+/build/vmlinux) swapper 0 [001] 18467.058617: 1 cycles: ffffffff89060c36 native_write_msr (/lib/modules/4.11.0-rc8+/build/vmlinux) # Which is equivalent to: # perf script -F comm,tid,cpu,time,period,event,ip,sym,dso | head -2 perf 6338 [000] 18467.058607: 1 cycles: ffffffff89060c36 native_write_msr (/lib/modules/4.11.0-rc8+/build/vmlinux) swapper 0 [001] 18467.058617: 1 cycles: ffffffff89060c36 native_write_msr (/lib/modules/4.11.0-rc8+/build/vmlinux) # So if we want to remove the comm, as in your original example, we would have to figure out the default field list and remove ' comm' from it: # perf script -F tid,cpu,time,period,event,ip,sym,dso | head -2 6338 [000] 18467.058607: 1 cycles: ffffffff89060c36 native_write_msr (/lib/modules/4.11.0-rc8+/build/vmlinux) 0 [001] 18467.058617: 1 cycles: ffffffff89060c36 native_write_msr (/lib/modules/4.11.0-rc8+/build/vmlinux) # With your patch this becomes simpler, one can remove fields by prefixing them with '-': # perf script -F -comm | head -2 6338 [000] 18467.058607: 1 cycles: ffffffff89060c36 native_write_msr (/lib/modules/4.11.0-rc8+/build/vmlinux) 0 [001] 18467.058617: 1 cycles: ffffffff89060c36 native_write_msr (/lib/modules/4.11.0-rc8+/build/vmlinux) # Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Tested-by: Milian Wolff <milian.wolff@kdab.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170602154810.15875-1-andi@firstfloor.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

2017-05-24perf script: Add --inline option for debuggingNamhyung Kim1-0/+4
The --inline option is to show inlined functions in callchains.

2017-04-13perf trace: Add usage of --no-syscalls in man pageRavi Bangoria1-1/+2
perf trace supports --no-syscalls option but it's not listed in the man page. (Though, I see an example using --no-syscalls in EXAMPLES section.) Committer note: The --no-syscalls option tells 'perf trace' not to automagically ask for raw_syscalls:sys_{enter,exit} to then format it in a strace like way. This become more used as 'perf trace' got support for arbitrary events, such as tracepoints, so more and more we use: # perf trace --no-syscalls -e nmi:* 0.000 nmi:nmi_handler:perf_event_nmi_handler() delta_ns: 36649 handled: 1) 0.019 nmi:nmi_handler:nmi_cpu_backtrace_handler() delta_ns: 2907 handled: 0) 0.676 nmi:nmi_handler:perf_event_nmi_handler() delta_ns: 9401 handled: 1) 0.680 nmi:nmi_handler:nmi_cpu_backtrace_handler() delta_ns: 288 handled: 0) 0.701 nmi:nmi_handler:perf_event_nmi_handler() delta_ns: 4977 handled: 1) 0.703 nmi:nmi_handler:nmi_cpu_backtrace_handler() delta_ns: 67 handled: 0) 0.736 nmi:nmi_handler:perf_event_nmi_handler() delta_ns: 8549 handled: 1) ^C# Signed-off-by: Ravi Bangoria <ravi.bangoria@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Alexis Berlemont <alexis.berlemont@gmail.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1492063332-5745-1-git-send-email-ravi.bangoria@linux.vnet.ibm.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

2017-03-27perf report: Enable sorting by srcline as keyMilian Wolff1-0/+1
Often it is interesting to know how costly a given source line is in total. Previously, one had to build these sums manually based on all addresses that pointed to the same source line. This patch introduces srcline as a sort key, which will do the aggregation for us. Paired with the recent addition of showing inline frames, this makes perf report much more useful for many C++ work loads. The following shows the new feature in action. First, let's show the status quo output when we sort by address. The result contains many hist entries that generate the same output: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ $ perf report --stdio --inline -g address # Children Self Command Shared Object Symbol # ........ ........ ............ ................... ......................................... # 99.89% 35.34% cpp-inlining cpp-inlining [.] main | |--64.55%--main complex:655 | /home/milian/projects/kdab/rnd/hotspot/tests/test-clients/cpp-inlining/main.cpp:39 (inline) | /usr/include/c++/6.3.1/complex:664 (inline) | | | |--60.31%--hypot +20 | | | | | |--8.52%--__hypot_finite +273 | | | | | |--7.32%--__hypot_finite +411 ... --35.34%--_start +4194346 __libc_start_main +241 | |--6.65%--main random.tcc:3326 | /home/milian/projects/kdab/rnd/hotspot/tests/test-clients/cpp-inlining/main.cpp:39 (inline) | /usr/include/c++/6.3.1/bits/random.h:1809 (inline) | /usr/include/c++/6.3.1/bits/random.h:1818 (inline) | /usr/include/c++/6.3.1/bits/random.h:185 (inline) | |--2.70%--main random.tcc:3326 | /home/milian/projects/kdab/rnd/hotspot/tests/test-clients/cpp-inlining/main.cpp:39 (inline) | /usr/include/c++/6.3.1/bits/random.h:1809 (inline) | /usr/include/c++/6.3.1/bits/random.h:1818 (inline) | /usr/include/c++/6.3.1/bits/random.h:185 (inline) | |--1.69%--main random.tcc:3326 | /home/milian/projects/kdab/rnd/hotspot/tests/test-clients/cpp-inlining/main.cpp:39 (inline) | /usr/include/c++/6.3.1/bits/random.h:1809 (inline) | /usr/include/c++/6.3.1/bits/random.h:1818 (inline) | /usr/include/c++/6.3.1/bits/random.h:185 (inline) ... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ With this patch and `-g srcline` we instead get the following output: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ $ perf report --stdio --inline -g srcline # Children Self Command Shared Object Symbol # ........ ........ ............ ................... ......................................... # 99.89% 35.34% cpp-inlining cpp-inlining [.] main | |--64.55%--main complex:655 | /home/milian/projects/kdab/rnd/hotspot/tests/test-clients/cpp-inlining/main.cpp:39 (inline) | /usr/include/c++/6.3.1/complex:664 (inline) | | | |--64.02%--hypot | | | | | --59.81%--__hypot_finite | | | --0.53%--cabs | --35.34%--_start __libc_start_main | |--12.48%--main random.tcc:3326 | /home/milian/projects/kdab/rnd/hotspot/tests/test-clients/cpp-inlining/main.cpp:39 (inline) | /usr/include/c++/6.3.1/bits/random.h:1809 (inline) | /usr/include/c++/6.3.1/bits/random.h:1818 (inline) | /usr/include/c++/6.3.1/bits/random.h:185 (inline) ... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Signed-off-by: Milian Wolff <milian.wolff@kdab.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Yao Jin <yao.jin@linux.intel.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170318214928.9047-1-milian.wolff@kdab.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
2017-03-27perf report: Introduce --inline optionJin Yao1-0/+4
It takes some time to look for inline stack for callgraph addresses. So it provides new option "--inline" to let user decide if enable this feature. --inline: If a callgraph address belongs to an inlined function, the inline stack will be printed. Each entry is the inline function name or file/line.
