2016-07-18perf script python: Fix string vs byte array resolvingJiri Olsa1-6/+33
Jirka reported that python code returns all arrays as strings. This makes impossible to get all items for byte array tracepoint field containing 0x00 value item. Fixing this by scanning full length of the array and returning it as PyByteArray object in case non printable byte is found.

We cannot limit processing stacks from the current value of the sysctl, as we may be processing perf.data files, possibly from other machines. Instead use the old PERF_MAX_STACK_DEPTH, the sysctl default, that can be overriden using --max-stack or equivalent.

2016-05-06perf script: Expose usage of the callchain db export via the python apiChris Phlipot1-2/+33
This change allows python scripts to be able to utilize the recent changes to the db export api allowing the export of call_paths derived from sampled callchains. These call paths are also now associated with the samples from which they were derived. - This feature is enabled by setting "perf_db_export_callchains" to true - When enabled, samples that have callchain information will have the callchains exported via call_path_table - The call_path_id field is added to sample_table to enable association of samples with the corresponding callchain stored in the call paths table. A call_path_id of 0 will be exported if there is no corresponding callchain. - When "perf_db_export_callchains" and "perf_db_export_calls" are both set to True, the call path root data structure will be shared. This prevents duplicating of data and call path ids that would result from building two separate call path trees in memory. - The call_return_processor structure definition was relocated to the header file to make its contents visible to db-export.c. This enables the sharing of call path trees between the two features, as mentioned above. This change is visible to python scripts using the python db export api. The change is backwards compatible with scripts written against the previous API, assuming that the scripts model the sample_table function after the one in export-to-postgresql.py script by allowing for additional arguments to be added in the future. ie. using *x as the final argument of the sample_table function.

2016-05-06perf tools: Refactor code to move call path handling out of thread-stackChris Phlipot1-0/+1
Move the call path handling code out of thread-stack.c and thread-stack.h to allow other components that are not part of thread-stack to create call paths. Summary: - Create call-path.c and call-path.h and add them to the build. - Move all call path related code out of thread-stack.c and thread-stack.h and into call-path.c and call-path.h. - A small subset of structures and functions are now visible through call-path.h, which is required for thread-stack.c to continue to compile. This change is a prerequisite for subsequent patches in this change set and by itself contains no user-visible changes.

There is an upper limit to what tooling considers a valid callchain, and it was tied to the hardcoded value in the kernel, PERF_MAX_STACK_DEPTH (127), now that this can be tuned via a sysctl, make it read it and use that as the upper limit, falling back to PERF_MAX_STACK_DEPTH for kernels where this sysctl isn't present.

2016-04-14perf callchain: Start moving away from global per thread cursorsArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2-2/+2
The recent perf_evsel__fprintf_callchain() move to evsel.c added several new symbol requirements to the python binding, for instance: # perf test -v python 16: Try 'import perf' in python, checking link problems : --- start --- test child forked, pid 18030 Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ImportError: /tmp/build/perf/python/perf.so: undefined symbol: callchain_cursor test child finished with -1 ---- end ---- Try 'import perf' in python, checking link problems: FAILED! # This would require linking against callchain.c to access to the global callchain_cursor variables. Since lots of functions already receive as a parameter a callchain_cursor struct pointer, make that be the case for some more function so that we can start phasing out usage of yet another global variable.

2016-03-30perf script perl: Perl scripts now get a backtrace, like the python onesDima Kogan1-8/+106
We have some infrastructure to use perl or python to analyze logs generated by perf. Prior to this patch, only the python tools had access to backtrace information. This patch makes this information available to perl scripts as well. Example: Let's look at malloc() calls made by the seq utility. First we create a probe point: $ perf probe -x /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 malloc Added new events: ... Now we run seq, while monitoring malloc() calls with perf $ perf record --call-graph=dwarf -e probe_libc:malloc seq 5 1 2 3 4 5 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.064 MB perf.data (6 samples) ] We can use perf to look at its log to see the malloc calls and the backtrace $ perf script seq 14195 [000] 1927993.748254: probe_libc:malloc: (7f9ff8edd320) bytes=0x22 7f9ff8edd320 malloc (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc-2.22.so) 7f9ff8e8eab0 set_binding_values.part.0 (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc-2.22.so) 7f9ff8e8eda1 __bindtextdomain (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc-2.22.so) 401b22 main (/usr/bin/seq) 7f9ff8e82610 __libc_start_main (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc-2.22.so) 402799 _start (/usr/bin/seq) ... We can also use the scripting facilities. We create a skeleton perl script that simply prints out the events $ perf script -g perl generated Perl script: perf-script.pl We can then use this script to see the malloc() calls with a backtrace. Prior to this patch, the backtrace was not available to the perl scripts. $ perf script -s perf-script.pl probe_libc::malloc 0 1927993.748254260 14195 seq __probe_ip=140325052863264, bytes=34 [7f9ff8edd320] malloc [7f9ff8e8eab0] set_binding_values.part.0 [7f9ff8e8eda1] __bindtextdomain [401b22] main [7f9ff8e82610] __libc_start_main [402799] _start ...

After collecting samples for events 'syscalls:', perf-script with python script doesn't occasionally work generating a segmentation fault. The reason is that the print fmt is empty and a value of event->print_fmt.args is NULL, so dereferencing the null pointer results in a segmentation fault i.e.: # perf record -e syscalls:* # perf script -g python # perf script -s perf-script.py in trace_begin syscalls__sys_enter_brk 3 79841.832099154 3777 test.sh syscall_nr=12, brk=0 ...

Coming in v3.16, trace events will be able to save bitmasks in raw format in the ring buffer and output it with the __get_bitmask() macro. In order for userspace tools to parse this, it must be able to handle the __get_bitmask() call and be able to convert the data that's in the ring buffer into a nice bitmask format. The output is similar to what the kernel uses to print bitmasks, with a comma separator every 4 bytes (8 characters). This allows for cpumasks to also be saved efficiently.

2013-10-24perf script python: Fix mem leak due to missing Py_DECREFs on dict entriesJoseph Schuchart1-13/+24
We are using the Python scripting interface in perf to extract kernel events relevant for performance analysis of HPC codes. We noticed that the "perf script" call allocates a significant amount of memory (in the order of several 100 MiB) during it's run, e.g. 125 MiB for a 25 MiB input file: $> perf record -o perf.data -a -R -g fp \ -e power:cpu_frequency -e sched:sched_switch \ -e sched:sched_migrate_task -e sched:sched_process_exit \ -e sched:sched_process_fork -e sched:sched_process_exec \ -e cycles -m 4096 --freq 4000 $> /usr/bin/time perf script -i perf.data -s dummy_script.py 0.84user 0.13system 0:01.92elapsed 51%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 125532maxresident)k 73072inputs+0outputs (57major+33086minor)pagefaults 0swaps Upon further investigation using the valgrind massif tool, we noticed that Python objects that are created in trace-event-python.c via PyString_FromString*() (and their Integer and Long counterparts) are never free'd. The reason for this seem to be missing Py_DECREF calls on the objects that are returned by these functions and stored in the Python dictionaries. The Python dictionaries do not steal references (as opposed to Python tuples and lists) but instead add their own reference. Hence, the reference that is returned by these object creation functions is never released and the memory is leaked. (see [1,2]) The attached patch fixes this by wrapping all relevant calls to PyDict_SetItemString() and decrementing the reference counter immediately after the Python function call. This reduces the allocated memory to a reasonable amount: $> /usr/bin/time perf script -i perf.data -s dummy_script.py 0.73user 0.05system 0:00.79elapsed 99%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 49132maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (0major+14045minor)pagefaults 0swaps For comparison, with a 120 MiB input file the memory consumption reported by time drops from almost 600 MiB to 146 MiB. The patch has been tested using Linux 3.8.2 with Python 2.7.4 and Linux 3.11.6 with Python 2.7.5. Please let me know if you need any further information.
