2017-03-14perf tools: Add PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES to include namespaces related infoHari Bathini1-0/+6
Introduce a new option to record PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES events emitted by the kernel when fork, clone, setns or unshare are invoked. And update perf-record documentation with the new option to record namespace events. Committer notes: Combined it with a later patch to allow printing it via 'perf report -D' and be able to test the feature introduced in this patch. Had to move here also perf_ns__name(), that was introduced in another later patch. Also used PRIu64 and PRIx64 to fix the build in some enfironments wrt: util/event.c:1129:39: error: format '%lx' expects argument of type 'long unsigned int', but argument 6 has type 'long long unsigned int' [-Werror=format=] ret += fprintf(fp, "%u/%s: %lu/0x%lx%s", idx ^ Testing it: # perf record --namespaces -a ^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.083 MB perf.data (423 samples) ] # # perf report -D <SNIP> 3 2028902078892 0x115140 [0xa0]: PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES 14783/14783 - nr_namespaces: 7 [0/net: 3/0xf0000081, 1/uts: 3/0xeffffffe, 2/ipc: 3/0xefffffff, 3/pid: 3/0xeffffffc, 4/user: 3/0xeffffffd, 5/mnt: 3/0xf0000000, 6/cgroup: 3/0xeffffffb] 0x1151e0 [0x30]: event: 9 . . ... raw event: size 48 bytes . 0000: 09 00 00 00 02 00 30 00 c4 71 82 68 0c 7f 00 00 ......0..q.h.... . 0010: a9 39 00 00 a9 39 00 00 94 28 fe 63 d8 01 00 00 .9...9...(.c.... . 0020: 03 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ce c4 02 00 00 00 00 00 ................ <SNIP> NAMESPACES events: 1 <SNIP> # Signed-off-by: Hari Bathini <hbathini@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Acked-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@fb.com> Cc: Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli <ananth@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Aravinda Prasad <aravinda@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Brendan Gregg <brendan.d.gregg@gmail.com> Cc: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net> Cc: Eric Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Sargun Dhillon <sargun@sargun.me> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/148891930386.25309.18412039920746995488.stgit@hbathini.in.ibm.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

2016-11-29perf tools: Introduce perf hooksWang Nan1-0/+11
Perf hooks allow hooking user code at perf events. They can be used for manipulation of BPF maps, taking snapshot and reporting results. In this patch two perf hook points are introduced: record_start and record_end. To avoid buggy user actions, a SIGSEGV signal handler is introduced into 'perf record'. It turns off perf hook if it causes a segfault and report an error to help debugging. A test case for perf hook is introduced. Test result: $ ./buildperf/perf test -v hook 50: Test perf hooks : --- start --- test child forked, pid 10311 SIGSEGV is observed as expected, try to recover.

2016-07-15perf record: Add --tail-synthesize optionWang Nan1-6/+25
When working with overwritable ring buffer there's a inconvenience problem: if perf dumps data after a long period after it starts, non-sample events may lost, which makes following 'perf report' unable to identify proc name and mmap layout. For example: # perf record -m 4 -e raw_syscalls:* -g --overwrite --switch-output \ dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null send SIGUSR2 after dd runs long enough. The resuling perf.data lost correct comm and mmap events: # perf script -i perf.data.2016061522374354 perf 24478 [004] 2581325.601789: raw_syscalls:sys_exit: NR 0 = 512 ^^^^ Should be 'dd' 27b2e8 syscall_slow_exit_work+0xfe2000e3 (/lib/modules/4.6.0-rc3+/build/vmlinux) 203cc7 do_syscall_64+0xfe200117 (/lib/modules/4.6.0-rc3+/build/vmlinux) b18d83 return_from_SYSCALL_64+0xfe200000 (/lib/modules/4.6.0-rc3+/build/vmlinux) 7f47c417edf0 [unknown] ([unknown]) ^^^^^^^^^^^^ Fail to unwind This patch provides a '--tail-synthesize' option, allows perf to collect system status when finalizing output file. In resuling output file, the non-sample events reflect system status when dumping data. After this patch: # perf record -m 4 -e raw_syscalls:* -g --overwrite --switch-output --tail-synthesize \ dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null # perf script -i perf.data.2016061600544998 dd 27364 [004] 2583244.994464: raw_syscalls:sys_enter: NR 1 (1, ... ^^ Correct comm 203a18 syscall_trace_enter_phase2+0xfe2001a8 ([kernel.kallsyms]) 203aa5 syscall_trace_enter+0xfe200055 ([kernel.kallsyms]) 203caa do_syscall_64+0xfe2000fa ([kernel.kallsyms]) b18d83 return_from_SYSCALL_64+0xfe200000 ([kernel.kallsyms]) d8e50 __GI___libc_write+0xffff01d9639f4010 (/tmp/oxygen_root-w00229757/lib64/libc-2.18.so) ^^^^^ Correct unwind This option doesn't aim to solve this problem completely. If a process terminates before SIGUSR2, we still lost its COMM and MMAP events. For example, we can't unwind correctly from the final perf.data we get from the previous example, because when perf collects the final output file (when we press C-c), 'dd' has been terminated so its '/proc/<pid>/mmap' becomes empty. However, this is a cheaper choice. To completely solve this problem we need to continously output non-sample events. To satisify the requirement of daemonization, we need to merge them periodically. It is possible but requires much more code and cycles. Automatically select --tail-synthesize when --overwrite is provided.

2016-07-15perf tools: Enable overwrite settingsWang Nan1-0/+1
This patch allows following config terms and option: Globally setting events to overwrite; # perf record --overwrite ... Set specific events to be overwrite or no-overwrite. # perf record --event cycles/overwrite/ ... # perf record --event cycles/no-overwrite/ ... Add missing config terms and update the config term array size because the longest string length has changed. For overwritable events, it automatically selects attr.write_backward since perf requires it to be backward for reading.

Introduce a bkw_mmap_state state machine to evlist: .________________(forbid)_____________. | V NOTREADY --(0)--> RUNNING --(1)--> DATA_PENDING --(2)--> EMPTY ^ ^ | ^ | | |__(forbid)____/ |___(forbid)___/| | | \_________________(3)_______________/ NOTREADY : Backward ring buffers are not ready RUNNING : Backward ring buffers are recording DATA_PENDING : We are required to collect data from backward ring buffers EMPTY : We have collected data from backward ring buffers. (0): Setup backward ring buffer (1): Pause ring buffers for reading (2): Read from ring buffers (3): Resume ring buffers for recording We can't avoid this complexity. Since we deliberately drop records from overwritable ring buffer, there's no way for us to check remaining from ring buffer itself (by checking head and old pointers). Therefore, we need DATA_PENDING and EMPTY state to help us recording what we have done to the ring buffer. In record__mmap_read_evlist(), drive this state machine from DATA_PENDING to EMPTY. In perf_evlist__mmap_per_evsel(), drive this state machine from NOTREADY to RUNNING when creating backward mmap.

2016-07-12tools: Introduce str_error_r()Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo1-3/+3
The tools so far have been using the strerror_r() GNU variant, that returns a string, be it the buffer passed or something else. But that, besides being tricky in cases where we expect that the function using strerror_r() returns the error formatted in a provided buffer (we have to check if it returned something else and copy that instead), breaks the build on systems not using glibc, like Alpine Linux, where musl libc is used. So, introduce yet another wrapper, str_error_r(), that has the GNU interface, but uses the portable XSI variant of strerror_r(), so that users rest asured that the provided buffer is used and it is what is returned.

record__mmap_read() writes data from ring buffer into perf.data. 'head' is maintained by the kernel, points to the last written record. 'old' is maintained by perf, points to the record read in previous round. record__mmap_read() saves data from 'old' to 'head' to perf.data. The names of these variables are not very intutive. In addition, when dealing with backward writing ring buffer, the md->prev pointer should point to 'head' instead of the last byte it got. Add 'start' and 'end' pointer to make code clear and set md->prev to 'head' instead of the moved 'old' pointer.
