      perf script: Fix broken include in Context.xs · 750ade7e
      Ramkumar Ramachandra authored 
      765532c8 (perf script: Finish the rename from trace to script,
2010-12-23) made a mistake during find-and-replace replacing
"../../../util/trace-event.h" with "../../../util/script-event.h", a
non-existent file.  Fix this include.

      perf tools: Fix -ldw/-lelf link test when static linking · d14c4965
      Mike Frysinger authored 
      Since libelf sometimes uses libpthread, we have to list that after -lelf
when someone tries to build statically.  Else things go boom:

Makefile:479: *** No libelf.h/libelf found, please install \
	libelf-dev/elfutils-libelf-devel.  Stop.

Similarly, the -ldw test fails as it often uses -lz:

Makefile:462: No libdw.h found or old libdw.h found or elfutils is older \
	than 0.138, disables dwarf support. Please install new elfutils-devel/libdw-dev

And if we add debugging to try-cc, we see:
+ echo '#include <dwarf.h>

int main(void)
{
        Dwarf *dbg = dwarf_begin(0, DWARF_C_READ);
        return (long)dbg;

      perf tools: Revert regression in configuration of Python support · a363a9da
      Michael Witten authored 
      Among other things, the following:

  commit 31160d7f
  Date:   Tue Jan 8 16:22:36 2013 -0500
  perf tools: Fix GNU make v3.80 compatibility issue

attempts to aid the user by tapping into an existing error message,
as described in the commit message:

  ... Also fix an issue where _get_attempt was called with only
  one argument. This prevented the error message from printing
  the name of the variable that can be used to fix the problem.

or more precisely:

  -$(if $($(1)),$(call _ge_attempt,$($(1)),$(1)),$(call _ge_attempt,$(2)))
  +$(if $($(1)),$(call _ge_attempt,$($(1)),$(1)),$(call _ge_attempt,$(2),$(1)))

However, The "missing" argument was in fact missing on purpose; it's
absence is a signal that the error message should be skipped, because
the failure would be due to the default value, not any user-supplied
value.  This can be seen in how `_ge_attempt' uses `gea_err' (in the
config/utilities.mak file):

  _ge_attempt = $(if $(get-executable),$(get-executable),$(_gea_warn)$(call _gea_err,$(2)))
  _gea_warn = $(warning The path '$(1)' is not executable.)
  _gea_err  = $(if $(1),$(error Please set '$(1)' appropriately))

That is, because the argument is no longer missing, the value `$(1)'
(associated with `_gea_err') always evaluates to true, thus always
triggering the error condition that is meant to be reserved for
only the case when a user explicitly supplies an invalid value.

Concretely, the result is a regression in the Makefile's configuration
of python support; rather than gracefully disable support when the
relevant executables cannot be found according to default values, the
build process halts in error as though the user explicitly supplied
the values.

This new commit simply reverts the offending one-line change.

      perf tools: Fix perf version generation · a4147f0f
      Robert Richter authored 
      The tag of the perf version is wrongly determined, always the latest tag
is taken regardless of the HEAD commit:

 $ perf --version
 perf version 3.9.rc8.gd7f5d3
 $ git describe d7f5d3
 v3.9-rc7-154-gd7f5d33
 $ head -n 4 Makefile
 VERSION = 3
 PATCHLEVEL = 9
 SUBLEVEL = 0
 EXTRAVERSION = -rc7

In other cases no tag might be found.

This patch fixes this.

This new implementation handles also the case if there are no tags at
all found in the git repo but there is a commit id.

      perf stat: Fix per-socket output bug for uncore events · 582ec082
      Stephane Eranian authored 
      This patch fixes a problem reported by Andi Kleen on perf
stat when measuring uncore events:

 # perf stat --per-socket -e uncore_pcu/event=0x0/ -I1000  -a sleep 2

It would not report counts for the second socket. That was due to a
cpu mapping bug in print_aggr().

This patch also fixes the socket numbering bug for <not counted>
events.

      perf symbols: Fix vdso list searching · f9ceffb6
      Waiman Long authored 
      When "perf record" was used on a large machine with a lot of CPUs, the
perf post-processing time (the time after the workload was done until
the perf command itself exited) could take a lot of minutes and even
hours depending on how large the resulting perf.data file was.

While running AIM7 1500-user high_systime workload on a 80-core x86-64
system with a 3.9 kernel (with only the -s -a options used), the
workload itself took about 2 minutes to run and the perf.data file had a
size of 1108.746 MB. However, the post-processing step took more than 10
minutes.

With a gprof-profiled perf binary, the time spent by perf was as
follows:

  %   cumulative   self              self     total
 time   seconds   seconds    calls   s/call   s/call  name
 96.90    822.10   822.10   192156     0.00     0.00  dsos__find
  0.81    828.96     6.86 172089958     0.00     0.00  rb_next
  0.41    832.44     3.48 48539289     0.00     0.00  rb_erase

So 97% (822 seconds) of the time was spent in a single dsos_find()
function. After analyzing the call-graph data below:

 -----------------------------------------------
                 0.00  822.12  192156/192156      map__new [6]
 [7]     96.9    0.00  822.12  192156         vdso__dso_findnew [7]
               822.10    0.00  192156/192156      dsos__find [8]
                 0.01    0.00  192156/192156      dsos__add [62]
                 0.01    0.00  192156/192366      dso__new [61]
                 0.00    0.00       1/45282525     memdup [31]
                 0.00    0.00  192156/192230      dso__set_long_name [91]
 -----------------------------------------------
               822.10    0.00  192156/192156      vdso__dso_findnew [7]
 [8]     96.9  822.10    0.00  192156         dsos__find [8]
 -----------------------------------------------

It was found that the vdso__dso_findnew() function failed to locate
VDSO__MAP_NAME ("[vdso]") in the dso list and have to insert a new
entry at the end for 192156 times. This problem is due to the fact that
there are 2 types of name in the dso entry - short name and long name.
The initial dso__new() adds "[vdso]" to both the short and long names.
After that, vdso__dso_findnew() modifies the long name to something
like /tmp/perf-vdso.so-NoXkDj. The dsos__find() function only compares
the long name. As a result, the same vdso entry is duplicated many
time in the dso list. This bug increases memory consumption as well
as slows the symbol processing time to a crawl.

To resolve this problem, the dsos__find() function interface was
modified to enable searching either the long name or the short
name. The vdso__dso_findnew() will now search only the short name
while the other call sites search for the long name as before.

With this change, the cpu time of perf was reduced from 848.38s to
15.77s and dsos__find() only accounted for 0.06% of the total time.

  0.06     15.73     0.01   192151     0.00     0.00  dsos__find
