2020-10-14perf streams: Report hot streamsJin Yao1-0/+13
We show the streams separately. They are divided into different sections. 1. "Matched hot streams" 2. "Hot streams in old perf data only" 3. "Hot streams in new perf data only". For each stream, we report the cycles and hot percent (hits%). For example, cycles: 2, hits: 4.08% -------------------------- main div.c:42 compute_flag div.c:28 Signed-off-by: Jin Yao <yao.jin@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20201009022845.13141-7-yao.jin@linux.intel.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
2020-10-14perf streams: Calculate the sum of total streams hitsJin Yao1-0/+32
We have used callchain_node->hit to measure the hot level of one stream. This patch calculates the sum of hits of total streams. Thus in next patch, we can use following formula to report hot percent for one stream. hot percent = callchain_node->hit / sum of total hits Signed-off-by: Jin Yao <yao.jin@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20201009022845.13141-6-yao.jin@linux.intel.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
2020-10-14perf streams: Compare two streamsJin Yao1-0/+54
Stream is the branch history which is aggregated by the branch records from perf samples. Now we support the callchain as stream. If the callchain entries of one stream are fully matched with the callchain entries of another stream, we think two streams are matched. For example, cycles: 1, hits: 26.80% cycles: 1, hits: 27.30% ----------------------- ----------------------- main div.c:39 main div.c:39 main div.c:44 main div.c:44 Above two streams are matched (we don't consider the case that source code is changed). The matching logic is, compare the chain string first. If it's not matched, fallback to dso address comparison.

2020-05-28perf callchain: Setup callchain properly in pipe modeJiri Olsa1-0/+14
Callchains are automatically initialized by checking on event's sample_type. For pipe mode we need to put this check into attr event code. Moving the callchains setup code into callchain_param_setup function and calling it from attr event process code. This enables pipe output having callchains, like: # perf record -g -e 'raw_syscalls:sys_enter' true | perf script # perf record -g -e 'raw_syscalls:sys_enter' true | perf report Committer notes: We still need the next patch for the above output to work.

2019-01-04perf report: Fix wrong iteration count in --branch-historyJin Yao1-12/+20
By calculating the removed loops, we can get the iteration count. But the iteration count could be reported incorrectly, reporting impossibly high counts. That's because previous code uses the number of removed LBR entries for the iteration count. That's not good. Fix this by increasing the iteration count when a loop is detected. When matching the chain, the iteration count would be added up, finally we need to compute the average value when printing out. For example, $ perf report --branch-history --stdio --no-children Before: ---f2 +0 | |--33.62%--f1 +9 (cycles:1) | f1 +0 | main +22 (cycles:1) | main +17 | main +38 (cycles:1) | main +27 | f1 +26 (cycles:1) | f1 +24 | f2 +27 (cycles:7) | f2 +0 | f1 +19 (cycles:1) | f1 +14 | f2 +27 (cycles:11) | f2 +0 | f1 +9 (cycles:1 iter:2968 avg_cycles:3) | f1 +0 | main +22 (cycles:1 iter:2968 avg_cycles:3) | main +17 | main +38 (cycles:1 iter:2968 avg_cycles:3) 2968 is an impossible high iteration count and avg_cycles is too small. After: ---f2 +0 | |--33.62%--f1 +9 (cycles:1) | f1 +0 | main +22 (cycles:1) | main +17 | main +38 (cycles:1) | main +27 | f1 +26 (cycles:1) | f1 +24 | f2 +27 (cycles:7) | f2 +0 | f1 +19 (cycles:1) | f1 +14 | f2 +27 (cycles:11) | f2 +0 | f1 +9 (cycles:1 iter:1 avg_cycles:23) | f1 +0 | main +22 (cycles:1 iter:1 avg_cycles:23) | main +17 | main +38 (cycles:1 iter:1 avg_cycles:23) avg_cycles:23 is the average cycles of this iteration.

2018-01-17perf unwind: Do not look just at the global callchain_param.record_modeArnaldo Carvalho de Melo1-0/+10
When setting up DWARF callchains on specific events, without using 'record' or 'trace' --call-graph, but instead doing it like: perf trace -e cycles/call-graph=dwarf/ The unwind__prepare_access() call in thread__insert_map() when we process PERF_RECORD_MMAP(2) metadata events were not being performed, precluding us from using per-event DWARF callchains, handling them just when we asked for all events to be DWARF, using "--call-graph dwarf". We do it in the PERF_RECORD_MMAP because we have to look at one of the executable maps to figure out the executable type (64-bit, 32-bit) of the DSO laid out in that mmap. Also to look at the architecture where the perf.data file was recorded. All this probably should be deferred to when we process a sample for some thread that has callchains, so that we do this processing only for the threads with samples, not for all of them. For now, fix using DWARF on specific events.

2017-11-02License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman1-0/+1
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

Milian Wolff found a problem he described in [1] and that for him would get fixed: "Note how most of the large offset values are now gone. Most notably, we get proper srcline resolution for the random.h and complex headers." Then Namhyung found the root cause: "I looked into it and found a bug handling cumulative (children) entries. For children entries that have no self period, the al->addr (so he->ip) ends up having an doubly-mapped address. It seems to be there from the beginning but only affects entries that have no srclines - finding srcline itself is done using a different address but it will show the invalid address if no srcline was found. I think we should fix the commit c7405d85d7a3 ("perf tools: Update cpumode for each cumulative entry")."

This also removes the symbol name from the srcline column, more on this below. This ensures we use the correct srcline, which could originate from a potentially inlined function.

2017-10-24perf callchain: Mark inlined frames in output by " (inlined)" suffixMilian Wolff1-3/+7
The original patch that introduced inline frame output in the various browsers used this suffix already. The new centralized approach that uses fake symbols for inlined frames was missing this approach so far. Instead of changing the symbol name itself, we only print the suffix where needed. This allows us to efficiently lookup the symbol for a given name without first having to append the suffix before the lookup.

2017-10-24perf callchain: Store srcline in callchain_cursor_nodeMilian Wolff1-22/+9
This is mostly a preparation to enable the creation of full callchain nodes for inline frames. Such frames will reference the IP of the non-inlined frame, but hold the symbol and srcline for an inlined location. As such, we won't be able to query the srcline on-demand based on the IP alone. Instead, we will leverage the functionality provided by this patch here, and store the srcline for the inlined nodes in the new srcline member of callchain_cursor_node. Note that this patch on its own leaks the srcline, as there is no free_callchain_cursor_node or similar. A future patch will add caching of the srcline and handle deletion properly.

2017-09-25perf report: Fix debug messages with --call-graph optionMengting Zhang1-14/+21
With --call-graph option, perf report can display call chains using type, min percent threshold, optional print limit and order. And the default call-graph parameter is 'graph,0.5,caller,function,percent'. Before this patch, 'perf report --call-graph' shows incorrect debug messages as below: # perf report --call-graph Invalid callchain mode: 0.5 Invalid callchain order: 0.5 Invalid callchain sort key: 0.5 Invalid callchain config key: 0.5 Invalid callchain mode: caller Invalid callchain mode: function Invalid callchain order: function Invalid callchain mode: percent Invalid callchain order: percent Invalid callchain sort key: percent That is because in function __parse_callchain_report_opt(),each field of the call-graph parameter is passed to parse_callchain_{mode,order, sort_key,value} in turn until it meets the matching value. For example, the order field "caller" is passed to parse_callchain_mode() firstly and obviously it doesn't match any mode field. Therefore parse_callchain_mode() will shows the debug message "Invalid callchain mode: caller", which could confuse users. The patch fixes this issue by moving the warning out of the function parse_callchain_{mode,order,sort_key,value}.

2017-08-30perf report: Calculate the average cycles of iterationsJin Yao1-26/+23
The branch history code has a loop detection function. With this, we can get the number of iterations by calculating the removed loops. While it would be nice for knowing the average cycles of iterations.

2017-07-25perf report: Tag branch type/flag on "to" and tag cycles on "from"Jin Yao1-43/+105
Current --branch-history LBR annotation displays confused data. For example, each cycles report is duplicated on both "from" and "to" entries. For example: perf report --branch-history --no-children --stdio --2.32%--main div.c:39 (COND_BWD CROSS_2M predicted:49.7% cycles:1) main div.c:44 (predicted:49.7% cycles:1) main div.c:42 (RET CROSS_2M cycles:2) compute_flag div.c:28 (cycles:2) compute_flag div.c:27 (RET CROSS_2M cycles:1) rand rand.c:28 (cycles:1) rand rand.c:28 (RET CROSS_2M cycles:1) __random random.c:298 (cycles:1) __random random.c:297 (COND_BWD CROSS_2M cycles:1) __random random.c:295 (cycles:1) __random random.c:295 (COND_BWD CROSS_2M cycles:1) __random random.c:295 (cycles:1) __random random.c:295 (RET CROSS_2M cycles:9) The cycles should be tagged only on the "from". It's for the code block that ends with "from", not for "to". Another issue is the "predicted:49.7%" is duplicated too (tag on both "from" and "to"). This patch tags the branch type/flag on "to" and tag the cycles on "from". For example: --2.32%--main div.c:39 (COND_BWD CROSS_2M predicted:49.7%) main div.c:44 (cycles:1) main div.c:42 (RET CROSS_2M) compute_flag div.c:28 (cycles:2) compute_flag div.c:27 (RET CROSS_2M) rand rand.c:28 (cycles:1) rand rand.c:28 (RET CROSS_2M) __random random.c:298 (cycles:1) __random random.c:297 (COND_BWD CROSS_2M) __random random.c:295 (cycles:1) __random random.c:295 (COND_BWD CROSS_2M) __random random.c:295 (cycles:1) __random random.c:295 (RET CROSS_2M) | --2.23%--__random_r random_r.c:392 (cycles:9) In this example, The "main div.c:39 (COND_BWD CROSS_2M predicted:49.7%)" is "to" of branch and "main div.c:44 (cycles:1)" is "from" of branch. It should be easier for understanding than before.

perf record -b -g <command> perf report --branch-history This merges the LBRs with the callgraphs. However it would be nice if it also works without callgraphs (-g) set in perf record, so that only the LBRs are displayed. But currently perf report errors in this case. For example, perf record -b <command> perf report --branch-history Error: Selected -g or --branch-history but no callchain data. Did you call 'perf record' without -g?

2017-03-27perf report: Enable sorting by srcline as keyMilian Wolff1-5/+47
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>

2016-11-14perf report: Add branch flag to callchain cursor nodeJin Yao1-2/+12
Since the branch ip has been added to call stack for easier browsing, this patch adds more branch information. For example, add a flag to indicate if this ip is a branch, and also add with the branch flag. Then we can know if the cursor node represents a branch and know what the branch flag it has. The branch history code has a loop detection pass that removes loops. It would be nice for knowing how many loops were removed then in next steps, we can compute out the average number of iterations. For example: Before remove_loops(), entry0: from = 0x100, to = 0x200 entry1: from = 0x300, to = 0x250 entry2: from = 0x300, to = 0x250 entry3: from = 0x300, to = 0x250 entry4: from = 0x700, to = 0x800 After remove_loops() entry0: from = 0x100, to = 0x200 entry1: from = 0x300, to = 0x250 entry2: from = 0x700, to = 0x800 The original entry2 and entry3 are removed. So the number of iterations (from = 0x300, to = 0x250) is equal to removed number + 1 (2 + 1). iterations = removed number + 1; average iteractions = Sum(iteractions) / number of samples This formula ignores other cases, for example, iterations cross multiple buffers and one buffer contains 2+ loops. Because in practice, it's good enough.
