Even though with the change of commit commit 2b29175 "tools lib traceevent: Carve out events format parsing routine", allowed __pevent_parse_format() to parse an event without the need of a pevent handler, the event still needs to assign the pevent handed to it. There's no problem with assigning it if the pevent is NULL, as the event->pevent would be NULL without the assignment. But function parsing handlers may be assigned to the pevent handler to help in parsing the event. If there's no pevent then there would not be any function handlers, but if the pevent isn't assigned first before parsing the event, it wont honor the function handlers that were assigned. Worse yet, the current code crashes if an event has a function that it tries to parse. For example: # perf record -e scsi:scsi_dispatch_cmd_timeout Segmentation fault (core dumped) This happens because the scsi_dispatch_cmd_timeout event format has the following: scsi_trace_parse_cdb(p, __get_dynamic_array(cmnd), REC->cmd_len) which hasn't been defined by the pevent code.

The commit 5395a048 ("perf hists: Separate overhead and baseline columns") makes the "Overhead" column no more the first one. So it resulted in the mis-aligned column in the normal (non-diff) output. Signed-off-by:

When using the srcline sort key with perf report, I see many lines of warning related to JIT samples like below: addr2line: '/tmp/perf-1397.map': No such file Since it's not a ELF binary and doesn't provide such information, just use the raw ip address. Signed-off-by:

The srcline sort key is for grouping samples based on their source file and line number. It use addr2line tool to get the information but it requires dso name. It caused a segfault when a sample does not have the name by dereferencing a NULL pointer. Fix it by using raw ip addresses for those samples. Signed-off-by:

Intel PEBS in VT-x context uses the DS address as a guest linear address, even though its programmed by the host as a host linear address. This either results in guest memory corruption and or the hardware faulting and 'crashing' the virtual machine. Therefore we have to disable PEBS on VT-x enter and re-enable on VT-x exit, enforcing a strict exclude_guest. This patch enforces exclude_guest kernel side. Signed-off-by:

Summary of events per Peter: "Intel PEBS in VT-x context uses the DS address as a guest linear address, even though its programmed by the host as a host linear address. This either results in guest memory corruption and or the hardware faulting and 'crashing' the virtual machine. Therefore we have to disable PEBS on VT-x enter and re-enable on VT-x exit, enforcing a strict exclude_guest. AMB IBS does work but doesn't currently support exclude_* at all, setting an exclude_* bit will make it fail." This patch handles userspace perf command, setting the exclude_guest attribute if precise mode is requested, but only if a user has not specified a request for guest or host only profiling (G or H attribute). Kernel side AMD currently ignores all exclude_* bits, so there is no impact to existing IBS code paths. Robert Richter has a patch where IBS code will return EINVAL if an exclude_* bit is set. When this goes in it means use of :p on AMD with IBS will first fail with EINVAL (because exclude_guest will be set). Then the existing fallback code within perf will unset exclude_guest and try again. The second attempt will succeed if the CPU supports IBS profiling. Signed-off-by:

Jiri reported that he could trigger the WARN_ON_ONCE() in perf_cgroup_switch() using sw-events. This is because sw-events share a cpuctx with multiple PMUs. Use the ->unique_pmu pointer to limit the pmu iteration to unique cpuctx instances. Reported-and-Tested-by:

Stephane thought the perf_cpu_context::active_pmu name confusing and suggested using 'unique_pmu' instead. This pointer is a pointer to a 'random' pmu sharing the cpuctx instance, therefore limiting a for_each_pmu loop to those where cpuctx->unique_pmu matches the pmu we get a loop over unique cpuctx instances.

Add sysfs format entries for AMD IBS PMUs: # find /sys/bus/event_source/devices/ibs_*/format /sys/bus/event_source/devices/ibs_fetch/format /sys/bus/event_source/devices/ibs_fetch/format/rand_en /sys/bus/event_source/devices/ibs_op/format /sys/bus/event_source/devices/ibs_op/format/cnt_ctl This allows to specify following IBS options: $ perf record -e ibs_fetch/rand_en=1/GH ... $ perf record -e ibs_op/cnt_ctl=1/GH ... Option cnt_ctl is only enabled if the IBS_CAPS_OPCNT bit is set in IBS cpuid feature flags (AMD family 10h RevC and above). Signed-off-by:

Adding perf_hpp__column_enable function to enable/disable hists column and removing diff command specific stuff 'need_pair and show_displacement' from hpp code.

The hists pointer is now part of the 'struct hist_entry'. And since the overhead and baseline columns are split now, there's no reason to pass it through the output path. Signed-off-by:
-
Jiri Olsa authored
Currently the overhead and baseline columns are handled within single function and the distinction is made by 'baseline hists' pointer passed by 'struct perf_hpp::ptr'. Since hists pointer is now part of each hist_entry, it's possible to locate paired hists pointer directly from the passed struct hist_entry pointer. Also separating those 2 columns makes the code more obvious. Signed-off-by:

Currently tracepoint events cannot be completed because they contain a colon (:) character. The colon is considered as a word separator when bash completion is done - variable COMP_WORDBREAKS contains colon - so if a word being completed contains a colon it can be a problem. Recent versions of bash completion provide -n switch to _get_comp_words_by_ref and __ltrim_colon_completions functions in order to resolve this issue. Copy the latter in case not exists.

The following patch adds perf_event support for the Xeon-Phi PMU, as documented in the "Intel Xeon Phi Coprocessor (codename: Knights Corner) Performance Monitoring Units" manual. Even though it is a co-processor, a Phi runs a full Linux environment and can support performance counters. This is just barebones support, it does not add support for interesting new features such as the SPFLT intruction that allows starting/stopping events without entering the kernel. The PMU internally is just like that of an original Pentium, but a "P6-like" MSR interface is provided. The interface is different enough from a real P6 that it's not easy (or practical) to re-use the code in perf_event_p6.c Acked-by:

For building perf without stack backtrace debug, we can set NO_BACKTRACE=1 as a argument of make. It then defines NO_BACKTRACE macro for C code to do the proper handling. However it usually used in a negative semantics - e.g. #ifndef - so we saw double negations which can be misleading. Convert it to a positive form to make it more readable and add _SUPPORT suffix for consistency. Signed-off-by:
