When perf data is in a pipe, it reads each event separately using read(2) syscall. This is a huge performance bottleneck when processing large data like in perf inject. Also perf inject needs to use write(2) syscall for the output. So convert it to use buffer I/O functions in stdio library for pipe data. This makes inject-build-id bench time drops from 20ms to 8ms. $ perf bench internals inject-build-id # Running 'internals/inject-build-id' benchmark: Average build-id injection took: 8.074 msec (+- 0.013 msec) Average time per event: 0.792 usec (+- 0.001 usec) Average memory usage: 8328 KB (+- 0 KB) Average build-id-all injection took: 5.490 msec (+- 0.008 msec) Average time per event: 0.538 usec (+- 0.001 usec) Average memory usage: 7563 KB (+- 0 KB) This patch enables it just for perf inject when used with pipe (it's a default behavior).

When processing address packet and counter packet, if the packet contains extended header, it misses to account the extra one byte for header length calculation, thus returns the wrong packet length. To correct the packet length calculation, one possible fixing is simply to plus extra 1 for extended header, but will spread some duplicate code in the flows for processing address packet and counter packet. Alternatively, we can refine the function arm_spe_get_payload() to not only support short header and allow it to support extended header, and rely on it for the packet length calculation. So this patch refactors function arm_spe_get_payload() with a new argument 'ext_hdr' for support extended header; the packet processing flows can invoke this function to unify the packet length calculation.

In function arm_spe_get_events(), the event packet's 'index' is assigned as payload length, but the flow is not directive: it firstly gets the packet length from the return value of arm_spe_get_payload(), the value includes header length (1) and payload length: int ret = arm_spe_get_payload(buf, len, packet); and then reduces header length from packet length, so finally get the payload length: packet->index = ret - 1; To simplify the code, this patch directly assigns payload length to event packet's index; and at the end it calls arm_spe_get_payload() to return the payload value.

The 'perf mem' tool doesn't support AUX trace data so it cannot receive the hardware tracing data. On arm64, although it doesn't support PMU events for memory load and store, ARM SPE is a good candidate for memory profiling, the hardware tracer can record memory accessing operations with affiliated information (e.g. physical address and virtual address for accessing, cache levels, TLB walking, latency, etc). To allow "perf mem" tool to support AUX trace, this patch adds the AUX callbacks for session structure; make itrace memory event as default for "perf mem", this tells the AUX trace decoder to synthesize memory samples.

When user doesn't specify event name, perf c2c tool enables both the load and store events, and this leads to failure for opening the duplicate PMU device for AUX trace. After the memory event PERF_MEM_EVENTS__LOAD_STORE is introduced, when the user doesn't specify event name, this patch converts the required operation to PERF_MEM_EVENTS__LOAD_STORE if the arch supports it. Otherwise, the tool still rolls back to enable events PERF_MEM_EVENTS__LOAD and PERF_MEM_EVENTS__STORE. Signed-off-by:

On the architectures with perf memory profiling, two types of hardware events have been supported: load and store; if want to profile memory for both load and store operations, the tool will use these two events at the same time, the usage is: # perf mem record -t load,store -- uname But this cannot be applied for AUX tracing event, the same PMU event can be used to only trace memory load, or only memory store, or trace for both memory load and store. This patch introduces a new event PERF_MEM_EVENTS__LOAD_STORE, which is used to support the event which can record both memory load and store operations. When user specifies memory operation type as 'load,store', or doesn't set type so use 'load,store' as default, if the arch supports the event PERF_MEM_EVENTS__LOAD_STORE, the tool will convert the required operations to this single event; otherwise, if the arch doesn't support PERF_MEM_EVENTS__LOAD_STORE, the tool rolls back to enable both events PERF_MEM_EVENTS__LOAD and PERF_MEM_EVENTS__STORE, which keeps the same behaviour with before.

Different architectures might use different event or different event parameters for memory profiling, this patch introduces a weak perf_mem_events__ptr() function which allows to return back a architecture specific memory event. Since the variable 'perf_mem_events' can be only accessed by the perf_mem_events__ptr() function, mark the variable as 'static', this allows the architectures to define its own memory event array.

The perf tool searches a memory event name under the folder '/sys/devices/cpu/events/', this leads to the limitation for the selection of a memory profiling event which must be under this folder. Thus it's impossible to use any other event as memory event which is not under this specific folder, e.g. Arm SPE hardware event is not located in '/sys/devices/cpu/events/' so it cannot be enabled for memory profiling. This patch changes to search folder from '/sys/devices/cpu/events/' to '/sys/devices', so it give flexibility to find events which can be used for memory profiling. Signed-off-by:

Add a new --quiet option to 'perf stat'. This is useful with 'perf stat record' to write the data only to the perf.data file, which can lower measurement overhead because the data doesn't need to be formatted. On my 4C desktop: % time ./perf stat record -e $(python -c 'print ",".join(["cycles"]*1000)') -a -I 1000 sleep 5 ... real 0m5.377s user 0m0.238s sys 0m0.452s % time ./perf stat record --quiet -e $(python -c 'print ",".join(["cycles"]*1000)') -a -I 1000 sleep 5 real 0m5.452s user 0m0.183s sys 0m0.423s In this example it cuts the user time by 20%. On systems with more cores the savings are higher. Signed-off-by:

Some archs (e.g. x86 and Arm64) don't enable the configuration CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG by default, if this configuration is not enabled when build the kernel image, the SysFS for memory nodes will be missed. This results in perf tool has no chance to catpure the memory nodes information, when perf tool reports the result and detects no memory nodes, it outputs "assertion failed at util/mem2node.c:99". The output log doesn't give out reason for the failure and users have no clue for how to fix it. This patch changes to use explicit way for warning: it tells user that detected no memory nodes and suggests to enable CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG for kernel building. Signed-off-by:

The cleanup for the yfs_store_opaque_acl2_operation calls the wrong function to destroy the ACL content buffer. It's an afs_acl struct, not a yfs_acl struct - and the free function for latter may pass invalid pointers to kfree(). Fix this by using the afs_acl_put() function. The yfs_acl_put() function is then no longer used and can be removed. general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0x7ebde00000000: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI ...

When using the afs.yfs.acl xattr to change an AuriStor ACL, a warning can be generated when the request is marshalled because the buffer pointer isn't increased after adding the last element, thereby triggering the check at the end if the ACL wasn't empty. This just causes something like the following warning, but doesn't stop the call from happening successfully: kAFS: YFS.StoreOpaqueACL2: Request buffer underflow (36<108) Fix this simply by increasing the count prior to the check.
