The record option is a convience alias to include the -e raw_syscalls:* argument to perf-record. All other options are passed to perf-record's handler. Resulting data file can be analyzed by perf-trace -i. Signed-off-by:

Task comm's are getting lost when processing events from a file. The problem is that the trace struct used by the live processing has its host machine and the perf-session used for file based processing has its host machine. Fix by having both references point to the same machine.

The perf_evlist__mmap_read used 'union perf_event' as a placeholder for event crossing the mmap boundary. This is ok for sample shorter than ~PATH_MAX. However we could grow up to the maximum sample size which is 16 bits max. I hit this overflow issue when using 'perf top -G dwarf' which produces sample with the size around 8192 bytes. We could configure any valid sample size here using: '-G dwarf,size'. Using array with sample max size instead for the event placeholder. Also adding another safe check for the dynamic size of the user stack. TODO: The 'struct perf_mmap' is quite big now, maybe we could use some lazy allocation for event_copy size. Signed-off-by:

Patch adds more subtle handling of -C and -N parameters in parse_{cpu,node}_setup_list() functions when there isn't enough NUMA nodes or CPUs present. Instead of assertion and terminating benchmark, partial test is skipped with error message and perf will continue to the next one. Fixed problem can be easily reproduced on machine with only one NUMA node: # Running numa/mem benchmark... # Running main, "perf bench numa mem -a" ... # Running RAM-bw-remote, "perf bench numa mem -p 1 -t 1 -P 1024 -C 0 -M 1 -s perf: bench/numa.c:622: parse_setup_node_list: Assertion `!(bind_node_0 < 0 || bind_node_0 >= g->p.nr_nodes)' failed.

It happens because update_shadow_stats() doesn't touch runtime_nsecs_stats; it is only written when a requested counter matches a SW_TASK_CLOCK.

For live sessions we can just access /proc to map an fd to its path, on a best effort way, i.e. sometimes the fd will have gone away when we try to do the mapping, as it is done in a lazy way, only when a reference to such fd is made then the path will be looked up in /proc. This is disabled when processing perf.data files, where we will have to have a way to get getname events, be it via an on-the-fly 'perf probe' event or after a vfs_getname tracepoint is added to the kernel. A first step will be to synthesize such event for the use cases where the threads in the monitored workload exist already.

Currently the srcline sort key compares ip rather than srcline info. I guess this was due to a performance reason to run external addr2line utility. Now we have implemented the functionality inside, use the srcline info when comparing hist entries. Also constantly print "??:0" string for unknown srcline rather than printing ip. Signed-off-by:

Roberto Vitillo authored
When the srcline sort key is used , the external addr2line utility needs to be run for each hist entry to get the srcline info. This can consume quite a time if one has a huge perf.data file. So rather than executing the external utility, implement it internally and just call it. We can do it since we've linked with libbfd already. Signed-off-by:
