2012-09-26perf evsel: Handle endianity in intval methodArnaldo Carvalho de Melo1-4/+34
We were relying on the info in pevent, but since we have it in perf_evsel, set up by the perf_session routine if read from a perf.data file or by whoever creates the evsels, use it. New 'perf test' entries will use it to parse locally generated events, in a non perf.data centered workflow. As well as use byteswap.h to get per arch optimized swap routines, like other parts of perf (header, perf_evsel__parse_sample, symbol, etc) already do.

The existing constructor receives a perf_event_attr filled with the event type and the config. To reduce the boilerplate for tracepoints, provide a new constructor, perf_evsel__newtp() that receives the tracepoint name and will open the debugfs file, call into libtraceevent new pevent_parse_format file to fill its ->tp_format member, so that users can then just call perf_evsel__field() to access its fields.

2012-09-06perf test: Add round trip test for sw and hw event namesArnaldo Carvalho de Melo1-3/+3
It basically traverses the hardware and software event name arrays creating an evlist with all events, then it uses perf_evsel__name to check that the name is the expected one. With it I noticed this problem: [root@sandy ~]# perf test 10 10: roundtrip evsel->name check:invalid or unsupported event: 'CPU-migrations' Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events FAILED! Changed it to "cpu-migrations" in the software event arrays and it worked. This is to catch problems like the one reported by Joel Uckelman in http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.perf.user/1016 Hardware cache events will be checked in the following patch.

2012-08-14perf tools: Enable grouping logic for parsed eventsJiri Olsa1-17/+34
This patch adds a functionality that allows to create event groups based on the way they are specified on the command line. Adding functionality to the '{}' group syntax introduced in earlier patch. The current '--group/-g' option behaviour remains intact. If you specify it for record/stat/top command, all the specified events become members of a single group with the first event as a group leader. With the new '{}' group syntax you can create group like: # perf record -e '{cycles,faults}' ls resulting in single event group containing 'cycles' and 'faults' events, with cycles event as group leader. All groups are created with regards to threads and cpus. Thus recording an event group within a 2 threads on server with 4 CPUs will create 8 separate groups. Examples (first event in brackets is group leader): # 1 group (cpu-clock,task-clock) perf record --group -e cpu-clock,task-clock ls perf record -e '{cpu-clock,task-clock}' ls # 2 groups (cpu-clock,task-clock) (minor-faults,major-faults) perf record -e '{cpu-clock,task-clock},{minor-faults,major-faults}' ls # 1 group (cpu-clock,task-clock,minor-faults,major-faults) perf record --group -e cpu-clock,task-clock -e minor-faults,major-faults ls perf record -e '{cpu-clock,task-clock,minor-faults,major-faults}' ls # 2 groups (cpu-clock,task-clock) (minor-faults,major-faults) perf record -e '{cpu-clock,task-clock} -e '{minor-faults,major-faults}' \ -e instructions ls # 1 group # (cpu-clock,task-clock,minor-faults,major-faults,instructions) perf record --group -e cpu-clock,task-clock \ -e minor-faults,major-faults -e instructions ls perf record -e '{cpu-clock,task-clock,minor-faults,major-faults,instructions}' ls It's possible to use standard event modifier for a group, which spans over all events in the group and updates each event modifier settings, for example: # perf record -r '{faults:k,cache-references}:p' resulting in ':kp' modifier being used for 'faults' and ':p' modifier being used for 'cache-references' event.

2012-08-11perf tools: Support for DWARF mode callchainJiri Olsa1-1/+12
This patch enables perf to use the DWARF unwind code. It extends the perf record '-g' option with following arguments: 'fp' - provides framepointer based user stack backtrace 'dwarf[,size]' - provides DWARF (libunwind) based user stack backtrace. The size specifies the size of the user stack dump. If omitted it is 8192 by default. If libunwind is found during the perf build, then the 'dwarf' argument becomes available for record command. The 'fp' stays as default option in any case. Examples: (perf compiled with libunwind) perf record -g dwarf ls - provides dwarf unwind with 8192 as stack dump size perf record -g dwarf,4096 ls - provides dwarf unwind with 4096 as stack dump size perf record -g -- ls perf record -g fp ls - provides frame pointer unwind Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Original-patch-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: "Frank Ch.

2012-06-25perf evsel: Fix a build failure on cross compilationNamhyung Kim1-1/+0
The commit c410431cefefd ("perf tools: Reconstruct event with modifiers from perf_event_attr") added the line, but it's broken since it needs to go up 3 directories to get to the kernel root directory, not 2. However host gcc contains /usr/local/include in its search path, so that it can find the perf_event.h in /usr/include. This why we didn't notice the problem yet. But when I tried to cross compile it appears like: CC util/evsel.o util/evsel.c:18:44: error: ../../include/linux/perf_event.h: No such file or directory make: *** [util/evsel.o] Error 1 Looking at the source, it isn't needed at all as evsel.h already included the perf_event.h.

2012-05-31perf evsel: Fix 32 bit values endianity swap for sample_id_all headerJiri Olsa1-7/+22
We swap the sample_id_all header by u64 pointers. Some members of the header happen to be 32 bit values. We need to handle them separatelly. Together with other endianity patches, this change fixies perf report discrepancies on origin and target systems as described in test 1 below, e.g. following perf report diff: ... 0.12% ps [kernel.kallsyms] [k] clear_page - 0.12% awk bash [.] alloc_word_desc + 0.12% awk bash [.] yyparse 0.11% beah-rhts-task libpython2.6.so.1.0 [.] 0x5560e 0.10% perf libc-2.12.so [.] __ctype_toupper_loc - 0.09% rhts-test-runne bash [.] maybe_make_export_env + 0.09% rhts-test-runne bash [.] 0x385a0 0.09% ps [kernel.kallsyms] [k] page_fault ... Note, running following to test perf endianity handling: test 1) - origin system: # perf record -a -- sleep 10 (any perf record will do) # perf report > report.origin # perf archive perf.data - copy the perf.data, report.origin and perf.data.tar.bz2 to a target system and run: # tar xjvf perf.data.tar.bz2 -C ~/.debug # perf report > report.target # diff -u report.origin report.target - the diff should produce no output (besides some white space stuff and possibly different date/TZ output) test 2) - origin system: # perf record -ag -fo /tmp/perf.data -- sleep 1 - mount origin system root to the target system on /mnt/origin - target system: # perf script --symfs /mnt/origin -I -i /mnt/origin/tmp/perf.data \ --kallsyms /mnt/origin/proc/kallsyms - complete perf.data header is displayed Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Tested-by: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Corey Ashford <cjashfor@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1338380624-7443-4-git-send-email-jolsa@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
2012-05-25perf tools: Reconstruct event with modifiers from perf_event_attrArnaldo Carvalho de Melo1-0/+90
The modifiers: k kernel space u user space h hypervisor G guest H host p, pp, ppp precision level (PEBS) that can be suffixed to an event were lost when tools used event_name() to reconstruct them from the perf_event_attr entries in a perf.data file. Fix it by following the defaults used for these modifiers in the current codebase, so: $ perf record -e instructions:u usleep 1 2> /dev/null $ perf evlist instructions:u $ perf record -e cycles:k usleep 1 2> /dev/null $ perf evlist cycles:k $ perf record -e cycles:kh usleep 1 2> /dev/null $ perf evlist cycles:kh $ perf record -e cache-misses:G usleep 1 2> /dev/null $ perf evlist cache-misses:G $ perf record -e cycles:ppk usleep 1 2> /dev/null $ perf evlist cycles:kpp $ Also works with 'top', 'report', etc. More work needed to cover tracepoints and software events while not dragging lots of baggage to the python binding, this is a minimal fix for v3.5.

2012-03-26perf tools: Fix bug in raw sample parsingStephane Eranian1-0/+2
In perf_event__parse_sample(), the array variable was not incremented by the amount of data used by the raw_data. That was okay until we added PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK which depends on the array variable pointing to the beginning of the branch stack data. But that was not the case if branch stack was combined with raw mode sampling. That led to bogus branch stack addresses and count. The bug would show up with: $ perf record -R -b foo This patch fixes the problem by correctly moving the array pointer forward for RAW samples.

2011-12-20perf record: Add ability to record event periodAndrew Vagin1-0/+3
The problem is that when SAMPLE_PERIOD is not set, the kernel generates a number of samples in proportion to an event's period. Number of these samples may be too big and the kernel throttles all samples above a defined limit. E.g.: I want to trace when a process sleeps. I created a process which sleeps for 1ms and for 4ms. perf got 100 events in both cases. swapper 0 [000] 1141.371830: sched_stat_sleep: comm=foo pid=1801 delay=1386750 [ns] swapper 0 [000] 1141.369444: sched_stat_sleep: comm=foo pid=1801 delay=4499585 [ns] In the first case a kernel want to send 4499585 events and in the second case it wants to send 1386750 events. perf-reports shows that process sleeps in both places equal time. Instead of this we can get only one sample with an attribute period. As result we have less data transferring between kernel and user-space and we avoid throttling of samples. The patch "events: Don't divide events if it has field period" added a kernel part of this functionality.
