The libtraceevent library's main handle 'struct pevent' holds pointers of every event that was added to it via functions: pevent_parse_format pevent_parse_event We can't release struct event_format (call pevent_free_format) separately, because that breaks that pointers array mentioned above and another add_event call could end up with segfault. All added events are released within the handle cleanup in pevent_free. Signed-off-by:

The previous patch changed kernel dso name from '[kernel.kallsyms]' to vmlinux. However it might add confusion to old users accustomed to the old name. So change the short name to '[kernel.vmlinux]' to reduce such confusion.

There's a problem on finding correct kernel symbols when perf report runs on a different kernel. Although a part of the problem was solved by the prior commit 0a7e6d1b ("perf tools: Check recorded kernel version when finding vmlinux"), there's a remaining problem still. When perf records samples, it synthesizes the kernel map using machine__mmap_name() and ref_reloc_sym like "[kernel.kallsyms]_text". You can easily see it using 'perf report -D' command. After finishing record, it goes through the recorded events to find maps/dsos actually used. And then record build-id info of them. During this process, it needs to load symbols in a dso and it'd call dso__load_vmlinux_path() since the default value of the symbol_conf. try_vmlinux_path is true. However it changes dso->long_name to a real path of the vmlinux file (e.g. /lib/modules/3.16.4/build/vmlinux) if one is running on a custom kernel. It resulted in that perf report reads the build-id of the vmlinux, but cannot use it since it only knows about the [kernel.kallsyms] map. It then falls back to possible vmlinux paths by using the recorded kernel version (in case of a recent version) or a running kernel silently. Even with the recent tools, this still has a possibility of breaking the result. As the build directory is a symbolic link, if one built a new kernel in the same directory with different source/config, the old link to vmlinux will point the new file. So it's absolutely needed to use build-id when finding a kernel image. In this patch, it's now changed to try to search a kernel dso in the existing dso list which was constructed during build-id table parsing so it'll always have a build-id. If not found, search "[kernel.kallsyms]".

When perf record finishes a session, it pre-processes samples in order to write build-id info from DSOs that had samples. During this process it'll call map__load() for the kernel map, and it ends up calling dso__load_vmlinux_path() which replaces dso->long_name. But this function checks kernel's build-id before searching vmlinux path so it'll end up with a cryptic name, the pathname for the entry in the ~/.debug cache, which can be confusing to users. This patch adds a flag to skip the build-id check during record, so that it'll have the original vmlinux path for the kernel dso->long_name, not the entry in the ~/.debug cache.

Enhance the thread stack to output detailed information about paired calls and returns. The enhanced processing consumes sample information via thread_stack__process() and outputs information about paired calls / returns via a call-back. While the call-back makes it possible for the facility to be used by arbitrary tools, a subsequent patch will provide the information to Python scripting via the db-export interface. An important part of the call/return information is the call path which provides a structure that defines a context sensitive call graph. Note that there are now two ways to use the thread stack. For simply providing a call stack (like you would get from the perf record -g option) the interface consists of thread_stack__event() and thread_stack__sample(). Whereas the enhanced interface consists of call_return_processor__new() and thread_stack__process(). Signed-off-by:

Add an index of the event identifiers, in preparation for Intel PT. The event id (also called the sample id) is a unique number allocated by the kernel to the event created by perf_event_open(). Events can include the event id by having a sample type including PERF_SAMPLE_ID or PERF_SAMPLE_IDENTIFIER. Currently the main use of the event id is to match an event back to the evsel to which it belongs i.e. perf_evlist__id2evsel() The purpose of this patch is to make it possible to match an event back to the mmap from which it was read. The reason that is useful is because the mmap represents a time-ordered context (either for a cpu or for a thread). Intel PT decodes trace information on that basis. In full-trace mode, that information can be recorded when the Intel PT trace is read, but in sample-mode the Intel PT trace data is embedded in a sample and it is in that case that the "id index" is needed. So the mmaps are numbered (idx) and the cpu and tid recorded against the id by perf_evlist__set_sid_idx() which is called by perf_evlist__mmap_per_evsel(). That information is recorded on the perf.data file in the new "id index". idx, cpu and tid are added to struct perf_sample_id (which is the node of evlist's hash table to match ids to evsels). The information can be retrieved using perf_evlist__id2sid(). Note however this all depends on having a sample type including PERF_SAMPLE_ID or PERF_SAMPLE_IDENTIFIER, otherwise ids are not recorded. The "id index" is a synthesized event record which will be created when Intel PT sampling is used by calling perf_event__synthesize_id_index(). Signed-off-by:

Add a Python script to export to a postgresql database. The script requires the Python pyside module and the Qt PostgreSQL driver. The packages needed are probably named "python-pyside" and "libqt4-sql-psql" The caller of the script must be able to create postgresql databases. The script takes the database name as a parameter. The database and database tables are created. Data is written to flat files which are then imported using SQL COPY FROM.

Use the new db_export facility to export data in a database-friendly way. A Python script selects the db_export mode by setting a global variable 'perf_db_export_mode' to True. The script then optionally implements functions to receive table rows. The functions are: evsel_table machine_table thread_table comm_table dso_table symbol_table sample_table An example script is provided in a subsequent patch. Signed-off-by:

This patch introduces an abstraction for exporting sample data in a database-friendly way. The abstraction does not implement the actual output. A subsequent patch takes this facility into use for extending the script interface. The abstraction is needed because static data like symbols, dsos, comms etc need to be exported only once. That means allocating them a unique identifier and recording it on each structure. The member 'db_id' is used for that. 'db_id' is just a 64-bit sequence number. Exporting centres around the db_export__sample() function which exports the associated data structures if they have not yet been allocated a db_id. Signed-off-by:

'perf record' post-processes the event stream to create a list of build-ids for object files for which sample events have been recorded. That results in those object files being recorded in the build-id cache. In the case of VDSO, perf tools reads it from memory and copies it into a temporary file, which as decribed above, gets added to the build-id cache. Then when the perf.data file is processed by other tools, the build-id of VDSO is listed in the perf.data file and the VDSO can be read from the build-id cache. In that case the name of the map, the short name of the DSO, and the entry in the build-id cache are all "[vdso]". However, in the 64-bit case, there also can be 32-bit compatibility VDSOs. A previous patch added programs "perf-read-vdso32" and "perf read-vdsox32". This patch uses those programs to read the correct VDSO for a thread and create a temporary file just as for the 64-bit VDSO. The map name and the entry in the build-id cache are still "[vdso]" but the DSO short name becomes "[vdso32]" and "[vdsox32]" respectively. Signed-off-by:

perf tools copy VDSO out of memory. However, on 64-bit machines there may be 32-bit compatibility VDOs also. To copy those requires separate 32-bit executables. This patch adds to the build additional programs perf-read-vdso32 and perf-read-vdsox32 for 32-bit and x32 respectively. Signed-off-by:

When 'perf record' write headers, it calls write_xxx in tools/perf/util/header.c, and check return value. It rolls back all working only when return value is negative. This patch ensures write_cpudesc() and write_total_mem() return negative number when error. Without this patch, headers reported by 'perf report' header is error in some platform.

The 'perf kvm stat record' tool is an alias of 'perf record' with predefined kvm related options. All options that passed to 'perf kvm stat record' are processed by the 'perf record' tool. So, 'perf kvm stat record --help' prints help of usage for the 'perf record' command. There are a few options useful for 'perf kvm stat record', the rest either break kvm related output or don't change it. Let's print safe for 'perf kvm stat record' options in addition to general 'perf record' --help output. With this patch, new output looks like below: $ perf kvm stat record -h usage: perf kvm stat record [<options>] -p, --pid <pid> record events on existing process id -t, --tid <tid> record events on existing thread id -r, --realtime <n> collect data with this RT SCHED_FIFO priority --no-buffering collect data without buffering -a, --all-cpus system-wide collection from all CPUs -C, --cpu <cpu> list of cpus to monitor -c, --count <n> event period to sample -o, --output <file> output file name -i, --no-inherit child tasks do not inherit counters -m, --mmap-pages <pages> number of mmap data pages -v, --verbose be more verbose (show counter open errors, etc) -q, --quiet don't print any message -s, --stat per thread counts -D, --delay <n> ms to wait before starting measurement after program start -u, --uid <user> user to profile --per-thread use per-thread mmaps $ perf kvm stat record -n sleep 1 Error: switch `n' is not usable usage: perf kvm stat record [<options>] Signed-off-by: -
