Make the 'perf list' glob matching for vendor events case insensitive. This allows to use the upper case vendor events with perf list too. Now the following works: % perf list LONGEST_LAT ... cache: longest_lat_cache.miss [Core-originated cacheable demand requests missed LLC] longest_lat_cache.reference [Core-originated cacheable demand requests that refer to LLC] Signed-off-by:Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Suggested-by:

Instead of the one when another syscall takes place while another is being processed (in another CPU, but we show it serialized, so need to "interrupt" the other), and also when finally showing the sys_enter + sys_exit + duration, where we were showing the sample->time for the sys_exit, duh.

It popped up in perf testing that the worker consumes some amount of CPU. It boils down to the increment of `ops` which causes cache line bouncing between the individual threads. This patch aligns the struct by 256 bytes to ensure that not a cache line is shared among CPUs. 128 byte is the x86 worst case and grep says that L1_CACHE_SHIFT is set to 8 on s390. Signed-off-by:

We already have handling for errors when processing PERF_RECORD_ events, so instead of calling die() when not being able to alloc, propagate the error, so that the normal UI exit sequence can take place, the user be warned and possibly the terminal be properly reset to a sane mode.

It already returns whatever strbuf_(grow|addch)() returns in case of failure, so just return -ENOSPC in the only case where it was die()ing.

In the perf wiki todo-list[1], there is an entry regarding initial-delay and 'perf trace'; the following small patch tries to fulfill this point. It has been generated against the branch tip/perf/core. It has only been implemented in the "trace__run" case.

Here is a small patch which tries to fulfill a point in the perf todo list: * Make pressing 'V' multiple times to go on cycling thru various verbosity levels in 'perf top', so that info that is present in 'perf top -v' can be obtained without having to restart the tool (acme). After a small grep in the code, the max verbosity level seems 3; so, we cycle at 4; I did not dare define a MAX_VERBOSE_LEVEL constant. Signed-off-by:

When the jit_buf_desc contains unwinding information, it is emitted as eh_frame unwinding sections in the DSOs generated by perf inject. The unwinding information is required to unwind of JITed code which do not maintain the frame pointer register during function calls. It can be emitted by V8 / Chromium when the --perf_prof_unwinding_info is passed to V8. The eh_frame and eh_frame_hdr sections are emitted immediately after the .text. The .eh_frame is aligned at a 8-byte boundary, and .eh_frame_hdr at a 4-byte one. Since size of the .eh_frame is required to be a multiple of the word size, which means there will never be additional padding between it and the .eh_frame_hdr on machines where the word size is 4 or 8 bytes. However, additional padding might be inserted between .text and .eh_frame to reach the correct alignment, which will always be 8 bytes, also on 32bit machines. The reasoning behind this choice is that 4 extra bytes of padding worst case are not a large cost for the advantage of removing word-size dependent offset calculations when emitting the jitdump.

This record is intended to provide unwinding information in the eh_frame format. This is required to unwind JITed code which does not maintain the frame pointer register during function calls. The eh_frame unwinding information can be emitted by V8 / Chromium when the --perf_prof_unwinding_info is passed. A record of type jr_code_unwinding_info comes before the jr_code_load it referred to and contains both the .eh_frame and .eh_frame_hdr. The fields in the header have the following meaning: * unwinding_size: size of the eh_frame and eh_frame_hdr, necessary for distinguishing the content from the padding. * eh_frame_hdr_size: as the name says. * mapped_size: size of the payload that was in memory at runtime. typically unwinding_size if the .eh_frame_hdr and .eh_frame were mapped, or 0 if they weren't. It should always be the former case, since the .eh_frame is guaranteed to be mapped in memory. However, certain JITs might want to inject an .eh_frame_hdr with an empty LUT to trigger fp-based unwinding fallback in libunwind. The only part of the .eh_frame_hdr that libunwind reads from remote memory is the LUT, and since there is none, mapping the unwinding info in memory is not necessary, and 0 in this field signifies that it wasn't. This practical hack allows to save bytes in code memory for those JIT compilers that might or might not maintain a valid frame pointer. The payload that follows is assumed to contain first the .eh_frame and then the .eh_header_hdr, with no padding between the two. Signed-off-by: -

When calculating .eh_frame_hdr base and LUT offsets do not always assume that pgoff is zero. The assumption is false for DSOs built from the jitdump by perf inject, because the ELF header did not exist in memory at sampling time. Signed-off-by:

The behavior before this commit was to skip the remaining portion of the jitdump in case an unknown record was found, including those records that perf could handle. With this change, parsing a record with an unknown id will cause a warning to be emitted, the record will be skipped and parsing will resume from the next (valid) one. The patch aims at making perf more future proof, by extracting as much information as possible from jitdumps. Signed-off-by:

This patch removes all the string padding generated in the jitdump file. They are not necessary and were adding unnecessary complexity. Modern processors can handle unaligned accesses quite well. The perf.data/ jitdump file are always post-processed, no need to add extra complexity for no real gain. Signed-off-by:

This patch modifies the build dependencies on the jitdump support in perf. As it stands jitdump was wrongfully made dependent 100% on using DWARF. However, the dwarf dependency, only exist if generating the source line table in genelf_debug.c. The rest of the support does not need DWARF. This patch removes the dependency on DWARF for the entire jitdump support. It keeps it only for the genelf_debug.c support. Signed-off-by:

Such as CentOS5, where such define is not present in elf.h. This file, genelf.c, wasn't being built for several systems, because it mistakenly was conditional on some DWARF features, now that it is just needing libelf, after "perf jit: Enable jitdump support without dwarf" it fails. So, as preparation for "perf jit: Enable jitdump support without dwarf", conditionally define it, if not available.

It can be useful to specify branch type state per event, for example if we want to collect both software trace points and last branch PMU events in a single collection. Currently this doesn't work because the software trace point errors out with -b. There was already a branch-type parameter to configure branch sample types per event in the parser, but it was stubbed out. This patch implements the necessary plumbing to actually enable it. Now: $ perf record -e sched:sched_switch,cpu/cpu-cycles,branch_type=any/ ... works. Signed-off-by:

Tidy instruction buffer size usage in preparation for copying the instruction bytes onto samples. The instruction buffer is presently used for debugging, so rename its size macro from INTEL_PT_INSN_DBG_BUF_SZ to INTEL_PT_INSN_BUF_SZ, and use it everywhere. Note that the maximum instruction size is 15 which is a less efficient size to copy than 16, which is why a separate buffer size is used. Signed-off-by:

Merge tag 'perf-c2c-for-mingo-20161021' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/core Pull new 'perf c2c' tool from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo: - The 'perf c2c' tool provides means for Shared Data C2C/HITM analysis. It allows you to track down cacheline contention. The tool is based on x86's load latency and precise store facility events provided by Intel CPUs. It was tested by Joe Mario and has proven to be useful, finding some cacheline contentions. Joe also wrote a blog about c2c tool with examples: https://joemario.github.io/blog/2016/09/01/c2c-blog/ Excerpt of the content on this site: --- At a high level, “perf c2c” will show you: * The cachelines where false sharing was detected. * The readers and writers to those cachelines, and the offsets where those accesses occurred. * The pid, tid, instruction addr, function name, binary object name for those readers and writers. * The source file and line number for each reader and writer. * The average load latency for the loads to those cachelines. * Which numa nodes the samples a cacheline came from and which CPUs were involved. Using perf c2c is similar to using the Linux perf tool today. First collect data with “perf c2c record” Then generate a report output with “perf c2c report” --- There one finds extensive details on using the tool, with tips on reducing the volume of samples while still capturing enough to do its job.
