Intel PT uses TSC as a timestamp, so add support for using TSC instead of the monotonic clock. Use of TSC is selected by an environment variable "JITDUMP_USE_ARCH_TIMESTAMP" and flagged in the jitdump file with flag JITDUMP_FLAGS_ARCH_TIMESTAMP. Signed-off-by:

Intel PT uses the time members from the perf_event_mmap_page to convert between TSC and perf time. Due to a lack of foresight when Intel PT was implemented, those time members were recorded in the (implementation dependent) AUXTRACE_INFO event, the structure of which is generally inaccessible outside of the Intel PT decoder. However now the conversion between TSC and perf time is needed when processing a jitdump file when Intel PT has been used for tracing. So add a user event to record the time members. 'perf record' will synthesize the event if the information is available. And session processing will put a copy of the event on the session so that tools like 'perf inject' can easily access it.

Convert perf_output_begin() to __perf_output_begin() and make the later function able to write records from the end of the ring-buffer. Following commits will utilize the 'backward' flag. This is the core patch to support writing to the ring-buffer backwards, which will be introduced by upcoming patches to support reading from overwritable ring-buffers. In theory, this patch should not introduce any extra performance overhead since we use always_inline, but it does not hurt to double check that assumption: When CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING is disabled, the output object is nearly identical to original one. See: http://lkml.kernel.org/g/56F52E83.70409@huawei.com When CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING is enabled, the resuling object file becomes smaller: $ size kernel/events/ring_buffer.o* text data bss dec hex filename 4641 4 8 4653 122d kernel/events/ring_buffer.o.old 4545 4 8 4557 11cd kernel/events/ring_buffer.o.new Performance testing results: Calling 3000000 times of 'close(-1)', use gettimeofday() to check duration.

Set a default event->overflow_handler in perf_event_alloc() so don't need to check event->overflow_handler in __perf_event_overflow(). Following commits can give a different default overflow_handler. Initial idea comes from Peter: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20130708121557.GA17211@twins.programming.kicks-ass.net Since the default value of event->overflow_handler is not NULL, existing 'if (!overflow_handler)' checks need to be changed. is_default_overflow_handler() is introduced for this. No extra performance overhead is introduced into the hot path because in the original code we still need to read this handler from memory. A conditional branch is avoided so actually we remove some instructions. Signed-off-by:

Add new ioctl() to pause/resume ring-buffer output. In some situations we want to read from the ring-buffer only when we ensure nothing can write to the ring-buffer during reading. Without this patch we have to turn off all events attached to this ring-buffer to achieve this. This patch is a prerequisite to enable overwrite support for the perf ring-buffer support. Following commits will introduce new methods support reading from overwrite ring buffer. Before reading, caller must ensure the ring buffer is frozen, or the reading is unreliable. Signed-off-by:

As per AUX buffer management requirement, AUX output has to happen between pmu::start and pmu::stop calls so that perf_event_stop() actually stops it and therefore perf can free the AUX data after it has called pmu::stop. This patch moves perf_aux_output_{begin,end} from bts_event_{add,del} to bts_event_{start,stop}. As a bonus, we get rid of bts_buffer_is_full(), which is already taken care of by perf_aux_output_begin() anyway. Signed-off-by:Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by:

In order to ensure safe AUX buffer management, we rely on the assumption that pmu::stop() stops its ongoing AUX transaction and not just the hw. This patch documents this requirement for the perf_aux_output_{begin,end}() APIs. Signed-off-by: -

Now that we can ensure that when ring buffer's AUX area is on the way to getting unmapped new transactions won't start, we only need to stop all events that can potentially be writing aux data to our ring buffer. Having done that, we can safely free the AUX pages and corresponding PMU data, as this time it is guaranteed to be the last aux reference holder. This partially reverts: 57ffc5ca ("perf: Fix AUX buffer refcounting") ... which was made to defer deallocation that was otherwise possible from an NMI context. Now it is no longer the case; the last call to rb_free_aux() that drops the last AUX reference has to happen in perf_mmap_close() on that AUX area. Signed-off-by:

When ring buffer's AUX area is unmapped and rb->aux_mmap_count drops to zero, new AUX transactions into this buffer can still be started, even though the buffer in en route to deallocation. This patch adds a check to perf_aux_output_begin() for rb->aux_mmap_count being zero, in which case there is no point starting new transactions, in other words, the ring buffers that pass a certain point in perf_mmap_close will not have their events sending new data, which clears path for freeing those buffers' pages right there and then, provided that no active transactions are holding the AUX reference.

There should (and can) only be a single PMU for perf_hw_context events. This is because of how we schedule events: once a hardware event fails to schedule (the PMU is 'full') we stop trying to add more. The trivial 'fix' would break the Round-Robin scheduling we do. Signed-off-by:

AMD Carrizo (Family 15h, Model 60h) introduces a time-stamp counter which is indicated by CPUID.8000_0001H:ECX[27]. It increments at a 100 MHz rate in all P-states, and C states, S0, or S1. The frequency is about 100MHz. This counter will be used to calculate processor power and other parts. So add an interface into the MSR PMU to get the PTSC counter value. Signed-off-by:

There is no point in WARN_ON() inside of a well known init function. We already know the call stack and it's really not of critical importance whether the registration of a PMU fails. Aside of that for consistency reasons it's just pointless to try to register another PMU if the first register attempt failed. There is also no value in keeping one PMU if the second one can not be registered. Make it consistent so we can finaly modularize the driver. Signed-off-by:

The current implementation aside of being an incomprehensible mess is broken. # cat /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cstate_core/cpumask 0-17 That's on a quad socket machine with 72 physical cores! Qualitee stuff. So it's not a surprise that event migration in case of CPU hotplug does not work either. # perf stat -e cstate_core/c6-residency/ -C 1 sleep 60 & # echo 0 >/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online Tracing cstate_pmu_event_update gives me: [001] cstate_pmu_event_update <-event_sched_out After the fix it properly moves the event: [001] cstate_pmu_event_update <-event_sched_out [073] cstate_pmu_event_update <-__perf_event_read [073] cstate_pmu_event_update <-event_sched_out The migration of pkg events does not work either. Not that I'm surprised. I really could not be bothered to decode that loop mess and simply replaced it by querying the proper cpumasks which give us the answer in a comprehensible way. This also requires to direct the event to the current active reader CPU in cstate_pmu_event_init() otherwise the hotplug logic can't work. Signed-off-by:

When using 'perf script' to look at PT traces it is often useful to ignore the initialization code at the beginning. On larger traces which may have many millions of instructions in initialization code doing that in a pipeline can be very slow, with perf script spending a lot of CPU time calling printf and writing data. This patch adds an extension to the --itrace argument that skips 'n' events (instructions, branches or transactions) at the beginning. This is much more efficient. v2: Add support for BTS (Adrian Hunter) Document in itrace.txt Fix branch check Check transactions and instructions too Committer note: To test intel_pt one needs to make sure VT-x isn't active, i.e. stopping KVM guests on the test machine, as described by Andi Kleen at http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160301234953.GD23621@tassilo.jf.intel.comSigned-off-by:

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 ...

To avoid repeated calling perf_config() remove buildid_dir_command_config() and add new perf_buildid_config into perf_default_config. Because perf_config() is already called with perf_default_config at main(). Signed-off-by:
