      perf tools: Add id index · 3c659eed
      Adrian Hunter authored
      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().

      Add --quiet(-q) option to suppress output result message for --add, and
      --del options (Note that --lines/funcs/vars are not affected). This
      option is useful if you run the perf probe inside your scripts.

      perf script: Add Python script to export to postgresql · 2987e32f
      Adrian Hunter authored
      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.
      
      Example:
      
        $ perf record ls
        ...
        $ perf script report export-to-postgresql lsdb

      My notes (which may be out-of-date) on setting up postgresql so you can
      create databases:
      
      fedora:
      
              $ sudo yum install postgresql postgresql-server python-pyside qt-postgresql
              $ sudo su - postgres -c initdb
              $ sudo service postgresql start
              $ sudo su - postgres
              $ createuser -s <your username>
      
      I used the the unix user name in createuser.
      
      If it fails, try createuser without -s and answer the following question
      to allow your user to create tables:
      
              Shall the new role be a superuser? (y/n) y
      
      ubuntu:
      
              $ sudo apt-get install postgresql
              $ sudo su - postgres
              $ createuser <your username>
              Shall the new role be a superuser? (y/n) y
      
      You may want to disable automatic startup.  One way is to edit
      /etc/postgresql/9.3/main/start.conf.  Another is to disable the init
      script e.g. sudo update-rc.d postgresql disable

      perf scripting python: Extend interface to export data in a database-friendly way · df919b40
      Adrian Hunter authored
      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.

      perf tools: Add facility to export data in database-friendly way · 0db15b1e
      Adrian Hunter authored
      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.

      perf tools: Add support for 32-bit compatibility VDSOs · f6832e17
      Adrian Hunter authored
      '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.

      perf tools: Build programs to copy 32-bit compatibility · e477f3f0
      Adrian Hunter authored
      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.

      perf tools: Ensure return negative value when write header error · ed307758
      Wang Nan authored
      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. Following output is caputured on ARM, which doesn't
      contain "Processor" field in /proc/cpuinfo. See "cpudesc", "total memory" and
      "cmdline" field.

      perf kvm: Print kvm specific --help output · f45d20ff
      Namhyung Kim authored
      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>]

      We were setting this only in machine__init(), i.e. for the map_groups that
      holds the kernel module maps, not for the one used for a thread's executable
      mmaps.
      
      Now we are sure that we can obtain the machine where a thread is by going
      via thread->mg->machine, thus we can, in the following patch, make all
      codepaths that receive machine _and_ thread, drop the machine one.

      perf probe: Trivial typo fix for --demangle · 4cdcc33d
      Masami Hiramatsu authored
      Replace "Disable" with "Enable", since --demangle option enables symbol
      demangling, not disable it.
      
      perf probe has --demangle and --no-demangle options, but the
      command-line help (--help) shows only --demangle option. So it should
      explain about --demangle.

      perf tools: Make CPUINFO_PROC an array to support different kernel versions · 493c3031
      Wang Nan authored
      After kernel 3.7 (commit b4b8f770),
      /proc/cpuinfo replaces 'Processor' to 'model name'.
      
      This patch makes CPUINFO_PROC to an array and provides two choices for
      ARM, makes it compatible for different kernel version.
      
      v1 -> v2: minor changes as suggested by Namhyung Kim:
      
       - Doesn't pass @h and @evlist to __write_cpudesc;
       - Coding style fix.
      
      v2 -> v3:
        - Rebase:

      perf callchain: Use global caching provided by libunwind · 380b5143
      Namhyung Kim authored
      The libunwind provides two caching policy which are global and
      per-thread.  As perf unwinds callchains in a single thread, it'd
      sufficient to use global caching.
      
      This speeds up my perf report from 14s to 7s on a ~260MB data file.
      Although the output sometimes contains a slight difference (~0.01% in
      terms of number of lines printed) on callchains which were not resolved.

        c46e665f ("perf/x86: Add INST_RETIRED.ALL workarounds")
        fdda3c4a ("perf/x86/intel: Use Broadwell cache event list for Haswell")
      
      introduced magic constants and unexplained changes:

        https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/10/28/546
      
      Peter Zijlstra has attempted to help out, to clean up the mess:
      
        https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/10/28/543
      
      But has not received helpful and constructive replies which makes
      me doubt wether it can all be finished in time until v3.18 is
      released.
      
      Despite various review feedback the author (Andi Kleen) has answered
      only few of the review questions and has generally been uncooperative,
      only giving replies when prompted repeatedly, and only giving minimal
      answers instead of constructively explaining and helping along the effort.
      
      That kind of behavior is not acceptable.
      
      There's also a boot crash on Intel E5-1630 v3 CPUs reported for another
      commit from Andi Kleen:
      
        e735b9db ("perf/x86/intel/uncore: Add Haswell-EP uncore support")
      
        https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/10/22/730
      
      Which is not yet resolved. The uncore driver is independent in theory,
      but the crash makes me worry about how well all these patches were
      tested and makes me uneasy about the level of interminging that the
      Broadwell and Haswell code has received by the commits above.
      
      As a first step to resolve the mess revert the Broadwell client commits
      back to the v3.17 version, before we run out of time and problematic
      code hits a stable upstream kernel.
      
      ( If the Haswell-EP crash is not resolved via a simple fix then we'll have
        to revert the Haswell-EP uncore driver as well. )
      
      The Broadwell client series has to be submitted in a clean fashion, with
      single, well documented changes per patch. If they are submitted in time
      and are accepted during review then they can possibly go into v3.19 but
      will need additional scrutiny due to the rocky history of this patch set.
