2017-09-25perf evsel: Fix attr.exclude_kernel setting for default cycles:pArnaldo Carvalho de Melo1-1/+6
Yet another fix for probing the max attr.precise_ip setting: it is not enough settting attr.exclude_kernel for !root users, as they _can_ profile the kernel if the kernel.perf_event_paranoid sysctl is set to -1, so check that as well. Testing it: As non root: $ sysctl kernel.perf_event_paranoid kernel.perf_event_paranoid = 2 $ perf record sleep 1 $ perf evlist -v cycles:uppp: ..., exclude_kernel: 1, ... precise_ip: 3, ... Now as non-root, but with kernel.perf_event_paranoid set set to the most permissive value, -1: $ sysctl kernel.perf_event_paranoid kernel.perf_event_paranoid = -1 $ perf record sleep 1 $ perf evlist -v cycles:ppp: ..., exclude_kernel: 0, ... precise_ip: 3, ... $ I.e. non-root, default kernel.perf_event_paranoid: :uppp modifier = not allowed to sample the kernel, non-root, most permissible kernel.perf_event_paranoid: :ppp = allowed to sample the kernel. In both cases, use the highest available precision: attr.precise_ip = 3.

Fix some users (close, ioctl) in evsel.c to use these fields directly. This allows simplifying the code and dropping quite a few function arguments.

2017-07-18perf annotate: Check for fused instructionsJin Yao1-0/+7
Macro fusion merges two instructions to a single micro-op. Intel core platform performs this hardware optimization under limited circumstances. For example, CMP + JCC can be "fused" and executed /retired together. While with sampling this can result in the sample sometimes being on the JCC and sometimes on the CMP. So for the fused instruction pair, they could be considered together. On Nehalem, fused instruction pairs: cmp/test + jcc. On other new CPU: cmp/test/add/sub/and/inc/dec + jcc. This patch adds an x86-specific function which checks if 2 instructions are in a "fused" pair. For non-x86 arch, the function is just NULL. Changelog: v4: Move the CPU model checking to symbol__disassemble and save the CPU family/model in arch structure. It avoids checking every time when jump arrow printed. v3: Add checking for Nehalem (CMP, TEST). For other newer Intel CPUs just check it by default (CMP, TEST, ADD, SUB, AND, INC, DEC). v2: Remove the original weak function. Arnaldo points out that doing it as a weak function that will be overridden by the host arch doesn't work. So now it's implemented as an arch-specific function. Committer fix: Do not access evsel->evlist->env->cpuid, ->env can be null, introduce perf_evsel__env_cpuid(), just like perf_evsel__env_arch(), also used in this function call. The original patch was segfaulting 'perf top' + annotation. But this essentially disables this fused instructions augmentation in 'perf top', the right thing is to get the cpuid from the running kernel, left for a later patch tho.

We should set attr.exclude_kernel when probing for attr.precise_ip level, otherwise !CAP_SYS_ADMIN users will not default to skidless samples in capable hardware. The increase in the paranoid level in commit 0161028b7c8a ("perf/core: Change the default paranoia level to 2") broke this, fix it by excluding kernel samples when probing.

And here is the text from a report and alternative proposed patch by Thomas-Mich Richter: --- On s390 the counter and sampling facility do not support a precise IP skid level and sometimes returns EOPNOTSUPP when structure member precise_ip in struct perf_event_attr is not set to zero. On s390 commnd 'perf record -- true' fails with error EOPNOTSUPP. This happens only when no events are specified on command line. The functions called are ... --> perf_evlist__add_default --> perf_evsel__new_cycles --> perf_event_attr__set_max_precise_ip The last function determines the value of structure member precise_ip by invoking the perf_event_open() system call and checking the return code. The first successful open is the value for precise_ip. However the value is determined without setting member sample_period and indicates no sampling. On s390 the counter facility and sampling facility are different. The above procedure determines a precise_ip value of 3 using the counter facility. Later it uses the sampling facility with a value of 3 and fails with EOPNOTSUPP. --- v2: Older compilers (e.g. gcc 4.4.7) don't support referencing members of unnamed union members in the container struct initialization, so move from: struct perf_event_attr attr = { ... .sample_period = 1, }; to right after it as: struct perf_event_attr attr = { ... }; attr.sample_period = 1; v3: We need to reset .sample_period to 0 to let the users of perf_evsel__new_cycles() to properly setup attr.sample_period or attr.sample_freq.

2017-04-13perf stat: Fix bug in handling events in error stateStephane Eranian1-2/+2
(This is a patch has been sitting in the Intel CQM/CMT driver series for a while, despite not depend on it. Sending it now independently since the series is being discarded.) When an event is in error state, read() returns 0 instead of sizeof() buffer. In certain modes, such as interval printing, ignoring the 0 return value may cause bogus count deltas to be computed and thus invalid results printed. This patch fixes this problem by modifying read_counters() to mark the event as not scaled (scaled = -1) to force the printout routine to show <NOT COUNTED>.

Consider tweaking /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid, which controls use of the performance events system by unprivileged users (without CAP_SYS_ADMIN).

2017-03-23perf stat: Output JSON MetricExpr metricAndi Kleen1-0/+3
Add generic infrastructure to perf stat to output ratios for "MetricExpr" entries in the event lists. Many events are more useful as ratios than in raw form, typically some count in relation to total ticks. Transfer the MetricExpr information from the alias to the evsel. We mark the events that need to be collected for MetricExpr, and also link the events using them with a pointer. The code is careful to always prefer the right event in the same group to minimize multiplexing errors. At the moment only a single relation is supported. Then add a rblist to the stat shadow code that remembers stats based on the cpu and context. Then finally update and retrieve and print these values similarly to the existing hardcoded perf metrics. We use the simple expression parser added earlier to evaluate the expression. Normally we just output the result without further commentary, but for --metric-only this would lead to empty columns. So for this case use the original event as description. There is no attempt to automatically add the MetricExpr event, if it is missing, however we suggest it to the user, because the user tool doesn't have enough information to reliably construct a group that is guaranteed to schedule. So we leave that to the user. % perf stat -a -I 1000 -e '{unc_p_clockticks,unc_p_freq_max_os_cycles}' 1.000147889 800,085,181 unc_p_clockticks 1.000147889 93,126,241 unc_p_freq_max_os_cycles # 11.6 2.000448381 800,218,217 unc_p_clockticks 2.000448381 142,516,095 unc_p_freq_max_os_cycles # 17.8 3.000639852 800,243,057 unc_p_clockticks 3.000639852 162,292,689 unc_p_freq_max_os_cycles # 20.3 % perf stat -a -I 1000 -e '{unc_p_clockticks,unc_p_freq_max_os_cycles}' --metric-only # time freq_max_os_cycles % 1.000127077 0.9 2.000301436 0.7 3.000456379 0.0 v2: Change from DivideBy to MetricExpr v3: Use expr__ prefix.

Introduce a new option to record PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES events emitted by the kernel when fork, clone, setns or unshare are invoked.

2016-12-15perf evsel: Allow to ignore missing pidJiri Olsa1-0/+44
Adding perf_evsel::ignore_missing_cpu_thread bool. When set true, it allows perf to ignore error of missing pid of perf event syscall. We remove missing thread id from the thread_map, so the rest of the processing like ioctl and mmap won't get disturbed with -1 fd. The reason for supporting this is to ease up monitoring group of pids, that 'disappear' before perf opens their event. This currently leads perf to report error and exit and makes perf record's -u option unusable under certain setup. With this change we will allow this race and ignore such failure with following warning: WARNING: Ignored open failure for pid 8605 Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20161213074622.GA3084@krava Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

2016-10-24perf tools: Implement branch_type event parameterAndi Kleen1-0/+9
It can be useful to specify branch type state per event, for example if we want to collect both software trace points and last branch PMU events in a single collection. Currently this doesn't work because the software trace point errors out with -b. There was already a branch-type parameter to configure branch sample types per event in the parser, but it was stubbed out. This patch implements the necessary plumbing to actually enable it. Now: $ perf record -e sched:sched_switch,cpu/cpu-cycles,branch_type=any/ ... works.

evsel->overwrite indicator means an event should be put into overwritable ring buffer. In current implementation, it equals to evsel->attr.write_backward. To reduce compliexity, remove evsel->overwrite, use evsel->attr.write_backward instead. In addition, in __perf_evsel__open(), if kernel doesn't support write_backward and user explicitly set it in evsel, don't fallback like other missing feature, since it is meaningless to fall back to a forward ring buffer in this case: we are unable to stably read from an forward overwritable ring buffer.

2016-07-12tools: Introduce str_error_r()Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo1-1/+1
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.

Commit b90dc17a5d14 "perf evsel: Add overwrite attribute and check write_backward" misunderstood the 'order' should be obeyed in __perf_evsel__open. But the way this was done for attr.write_backwards was buggy, as we need to check features in the inverse order of their introduction to the kernel, so that a newer tool checks first the newest perf_event_attr fields, detecting that the older kernel doesn't have support for them. Also, we can avoid calling sys_perf_event_open() if we have already detected the missing of write_backward.
