On Broadwell INST_RETIRED.ALL cannot be used with any period that doesn't have the lowest 6 bits cleared. And the period should not be smaller than 128. This is erratum BDM11 and BDM55: http://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/specification-updates/5th-gen-core-family-spec-update.pdf BDM11: When using a period < 100; we may get incorrect PEBS/PMI interrupts and/or an invalid counter state. BDM55: When bit0-5 of the period are !0 we may get redundant PEBS records on overflow. Add a new callback to enforce this, and set it for Broadwell. How does this handle the case when an app requests a specific period with some of the bottom bits set? Short answer: Any useful instruction sampling period needs to be 4-6 orders of magnitude larger than 128, as an PMI every 128 instructions would instantly overwhelm the system and be throttled. So the +-64 error from this is really small compared to the period, much smaller than normal system jitter. Long answer (by Peterz): IFF we guarantee perf_event_attr::sample_period >= 128. Suppose we start out with sample_period=192; then we'll set period_left to 192, we'll end up with left = 128 (we truncate the lower bits). We get an interrupt, find that period_left = 64 (>0 so we return 0 and don't get an overflow handler), up that to 128. Then we trigger again, at n=256. Then we find period_left = -64 (<=0 so we return 1 and do get an overflow). We increment with sample_period so we get left = 128. We fire again, at n=384, period_left = 0 (<=0 so we return 1 and get an overflow). And on and on. So while the individual interrupts are 'wrong' we get then with interval=256,128 in exactly the right ratio to average out at 192. And this works for everything >=128. So the num_samples*fixed_period thing is still entirely correct +- 127, which is good enough I'd say, as you already have that error anyhow. So no need to 'fix' the tools, al we need to do is refuse to create INST_RETIRED:ALL events with sample_period < 128. Signed-off-by:

Add Broadwell support for Broadwell to perf. The basic support is very similar to Haswell. We use the new cache event list added for Haswell earlier. The only differences are a few bits related to remote nodes. To avoid an extra, mostly identical, table these are patched up in the initialization code. The constraint list has one new event that needs to be handled over Haswell. Includes code and testing from Kan Liang. Signed-off-by:

Haswell offcore events are quite different from Sandy Bridge. Add a new table to handle Haswell properly. Note that the offcore bits listed in the SDM are not quite correct (this is currently being fixed). An uptodate list of bits is in the patch. The basic setup is similar to Sandy Bridge. The prefetch columns have been removed, as prefetch counting is not very reliable on Haswell. One L1 event that is not in the event list anymore has been also removed. - data reads do not include code reads (comparable to earlier Sandy Bridge tables) - data counts include speculative execution (except L1 write, dtlb, bpu) - remote node access includes both remote memory, remote cache, remote mmio. - prefetches are not included in the counts for consistency (different from Sandy Bridge, which includes prefetches in the remote node) Signed-off-by:

Guilherme Cox found that: There is, however, a potential bug if there is an item with code zero that is not the first one in the symbol list, since eval_flag(..) returns 0 when it doesn't find anything. That is, if you have the following enums: enum { FOO_START = 0, FOO_GO = 1, FOO_END = 2 } and then have: __print_symbolic(foo, FOO_GO, "go", FOO_START, "start", FOO_END, "end") If none of the enums are known to pevent, then eval_flag() will return zero, and it will match it to the first item in the list, which would be FOO_GO, which is not zero. Luckily, in most cases, the first element would be zero, and the parsing would match out of sheer luck. Reported-by:Guilherme Cox <cox@computer.org> Signed-off-by:

commit e596663e Author: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Date: Fri Feb 13 13:22:21 2015 -0300 perf trace: Handle multiple threads better wrt syscalls being intermixed Introduced a bug where it considered the number of bytes output directly to the output file when formatting the syscall entry buffer that is stored to be finally printed at syscall exit, ending up leaving garbage at the start of syscalls that appeared while another syscall was being processed, in another thread.

The 'record' and 'top' tools already allow a user to specify a CSV of pids and/or tids of tasks to collect data. Add those options to the 'report' and 'script' analysis commands to only consider samples related to the given pids/tids. This is also inline with the existing comm option. Signed-off-by:

When a event PADDING is hit (a deleted event that is still in the ring buffer), translate_data() sets the length of the padding and also updates the data pointer which is passed back to the caller. This is unneeded because the caller also updates the data pointer with the passed back length. translate_data() should not update the pointer, only set the length. Signed-off-by:

When a plugin option is defined, by default it is a boolean (true or false). If the option is something else, then it needs to set its "value" field to a default string other than NULL (can be just ""). If the value is not set then the option is considered boolean, and the updating of the option value will be handled accordingly. Signed-off-by:

There is a pevent_data_comm_from_pid() that returns the cmdline stored for a given pid in order for users to map pids to comms, but there's no method to convert a comm back to a pid. This is useful for filters that specify a comm instead of a PID (it's faster than searching each individual event). Add a way to retrieve a comm from a pid. Since there can be more than one pid associated to a comm, it returns a data structure that lets the user iterate over all the saved comms for a given pid. Signed-off-by:

The pevent->trace_clock should not be a direct pointer to what was given. It should be copied and freed. Note, valgrind pointed this out when a caller passed in a pointer that needed to be freed and it never was. Ideally, pevent should copy it (which this change does), and free the copy. It's up to the caller to free the clock string passed in. Signed-off-by:

It is possible that a pid has no associated comm attached to it, although it can still be passed to pevent_register_comm(). But if comm is NULL, it will cause strdup() to segfault. To prevent this from happening, if comm is NULL use the default "<...>" name for the pid. Signed-off-by:

Before, when some problem happened while trying to load the kernel symtab, 'perf top' would show: ┌─Warning:───────────────────────────┐ │The vmlinux file can't be used. │ │Kernel samples will not be resolved.│ │ │ │ │ │Press any key... │ └────────────────────────────────────┘ Now, it reports: # perf top --vmlinux /dev/null ┌─Warning:───────────────────────────────────────────┐ │The /tmp/passwd file can't be used: Invalid ELF file│ │Kernel samples will not be resolved. │ │ │ │ │ │Press any key... │ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ This is possible because we now register the reason for not being able to load the symtab in the dso->load_errno member, and provide a dso__strerror_load() routine to format this error into a strerror like string with a short reason for the error while loading. That can be just forwarding the dso__strerror_load() call to strerror_r(), or, for a separate errno range providing a custom message. Reported-by: -
Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
To deal with forwarding the strerror_r (GNU) return we need to check if the returned value is the buffer we passed or maybe some constant (unknown error), simplify that action by using scnprintf, that will do all the buflen size checks, trimming if needed. Acked-by:

This happens because processing the perf irq_work triggers another perf event (tracepoint stuff) which in turn generates an irq_work ad infinitum. Avoid this by raising the recursion counter in the irq_work -- which effectively disables all software events (including tracepoints) from actually triggering again. Reported-by:
