      perf diff: Percent calcs should use double values · 9b33827d
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      Otherwise we do integer math and the delta values round up to
      multiples of 1.0%.
      
      Also, calculate absolute values. Things look precise now:

      perf diff: Use perf_session__fprintf_hists just like 'perf record' · c351c281
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      That means that almost everything you can do with 'perf report'
      can be done with 'perf diff', for instance:
      
      $ perf record -f find / > /dev/null
      [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
      [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.062 MB perf.data (~2699
      samples) ] $ perf record -f find / > /dev/null
      [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
      [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.062 MB perf.data (~2687
      samples) ] perf diff | head -8
           9.02%     +1.00%     find  libc-2.10.1.so               [.] _IO_vfprintf_internal
           2.91%     -1.00%     find  [kernel]                     [k] __kmalloc
           2.85%     -1.00%     find  [kernel]                     [k] ext4_htree_store_dirent
           1.99%     -1.00%     find  [kernel]                     [k] _atomic_dec_and_lock
           2.44%                find  [kernel]                     [k] half_md4_transform
      $
      
      So if you want to zoom into libc:
      
      $ perf diff --dsos libc-2.10.1.so | head -8
          37.34%                find  [.] _IO_vfprintf_internal
          10.34%                find  [.] __GI_memmove
           8.25%     +2.00%     find  [.] _int_malloc
           5.07%     -1.00%     find  [.] __GI_mempcpy
           7.62%     +2.00%     find  [.] _int_free
      $
      
      And if there were multiple commands using libc, it is also
      possible to aggregate them all by using --sort symbol:
      
      $ perf diff --dsos libc-2.10.1.so --sort symbol | head -8
          37.34%             [.] _IO_vfprintf_internal
          10.34%             [.] __GI_memmove
           8.25%     +2.00%  [.] _int_malloc
           5.07%     -1.00%  [.] __GI_mempcpy
           7.62%     +2.00%  [.] _int_free
      $
      
      The displacement column now is off by default, to use it:
      
      perf diff -m --dsos libc-2.10.1.so --sort symbol | head -8
          37.34%                   [.] _IO_vfprintf_internal
          10.34%                   [.] __GI_memmove
           8.25%     +2.00%        [.] _int_malloc
           5.07%     -1.00%    +2  [.] __GI_mempcpy
           7.62%     +2.00%    -1  [.] _int_free
      $
      
      Using -t/--field-separator can be used for scripting:
      
      $ perf diff -t, -m --dsos libc-2.10.1.so --sort symbol | head -8
      37.34, , ,[.] _IO_vfprintf_internal

      perf probe: Fix to show which probe point is not found · 7ef17aaf
      Masami Hiramatsu authored
      Fix perf probe to show which probe point is not found.
      With out this patch, it shows just "No probe point found."
      This doesn't help users if they specify several probes.
      e.g.
      
       # perf probe -f --add schedule --add test
        Fatal: No probe point found.
      
      This patch makes error message more helpful as below.
      
       # perf probe --add schedule --add test
        Fatal: Probe point 'test' not found. - probe not added.

      perf probe: Check build-id of vmlinux · a128168d
      Masami Hiramatsu authored
      Check build-id of vmlinux by using functions in symbol.c.
      This also exposes map__load() for getting vmlinux path,
      and removes vmlinux path list in builtin-probe.c,
      because symbol.c already has that. Checking build-id

      perf probe: Reject second attempt of adding same-name event · d761b08b
      Masami Hiramatsu authored
      Reject second attempt of adding same-name event. This patch
      also provides --force option which allows user to add additional
      probe events on the same-name event.
      
      e.g.
      (the first attempt : success)
       ./perf probe schedule
       Added new event:
         probe:schedule                           (on schedule+0)
      
      (the second attempt : failure)
       ./perf probe schedule:11
       Error: event "schedule" already exists. (Use -f to force duplicates.)
         Fatal: Can't add new event.
      
      (the second attempt with -f : successfully added)
       ./perf probe -f schedule:11
       Added new event:
         probe:schedule_1                         (on schedule+45)

      perf probe: Support event name for --add option · af663d75
      Masami Hiramatsu authored
      Support event name syntax for --add option. This allows
      users to specify event name for each new event.
      
      The --add syntax is:
       perf probe --add '[EVENT=]SRC:LINE ARGS'
      or
       perf probe --add '[EVENT=]FUNC[+OFFS|%return|:RLN][@SRC] ARGS'
      
      e.g.
      
       ./perf probe --add myprobe1=schedule
      
      Note: currently group name is not supported yet, because it
      can cause name-space confliction with other tracepoint/
      hw-breakpoint events.

      perf_event: Fix incorrect range check on cpu number · 0f624e7e
      Paul Mackerras authored
      It is quite legitimate for CPUs to be numbered sparsely, meaning
      that it possible for an online CPU to have a number which is
      greater than the total count of possible CPUs.
      
      Currently find_get_context() has a sanity check on the cpu
      number where it checks it against num_possible_cpus().  This
      test can fail for a legitimate cpu number if the
      cpu_possible_mask is sparsely populated.
      
      This fixes the problem by checking the CPU number against
      nr_cpumask_bits instead, since that is the appropriate check to
      ensure that the cpu number is same to pass to cpu_isset()

      perf trace/scripting: Add 'record' and 'report' options · 3875294f
      Tom Zanussi authored
      Allow scripts to be recorded/executed by simply specifying the
      script root name (the script name minus extension) along with
      'record' or 'report' to 'perf trace'.
      
      The script names shown by 'perf trace -l' can be directly used
      to run the command-line contained within the corresponding
      '-record' and '-report' versions of scripts in the scripts/*/bin
      directories.
      
      For example, to record the trace data needed to run the
      wakeup-latency.pl script, the user can easily find the name of
      the corresponding script from the script list and invoke it
      using 'perf trace record', without having to remember the
      details of how to do the same thing using the lower-level perf
      trace command-line options:
      
      root@tropicana:~# perf trace -l
      List of available trace scripts:
        workqueue-stats                      workqueue stats (ins/exe/create/destroy)
        wakeup-latency                       system-wide min/max/avg wakeup latency
        rw-by-file <comm>                    r/w activity for a program, by file
        check-perf-trace                     useless but exhaustive test script
        rw-by-pid                            system-wide r/w activity
      
      root@tropicana:~# perf trace record wakeup-latency
      ^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
      [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.296 MB perf.data (~12931
      samples) ]
      
      To run the wakeup-latency.pl script using the captured data,
      change 'record' to 'report' in the command-line:
      
      root@tropicana:~# perf trace report wakeup-latency
      
      wakeup_latency stats:
      
      total_wakeups: 65
      avg_wakeup_latency (ns): 22417
      min_wakeup_latency (ns): 3470
      max_wakeup_latency (ns): 223311
      
      perf trace Perl script stopped
      
      If the script takes options, thay can be simply added to the end
      of the 'report' invocation:
      
      root@tropicana:~# perf trace record rw-by-file
      ^C[ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ]
      [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.782 MB perf.data (~34171
      samples) ]

      perf trace/scripting: List available scripts · 4b9c0c59
      Tom Zanussi authored
      Lists the available perf trace scripts, one per line e.g.:
      
      root@tropicana:~# perf trace -l
      List of available trace scripts:
        workqueue-stats                      workqueue stats (ins/exe/create/destroy)
        wakeup-latency                       system-wide min/max/avg wakeup latency
        rw-by-file <comm>                    r/w activity for a program, by file
        check-perf-trace                     useless but exhaustive test script
        rw-by-pid                            system-wide r/w activity
      
      To be consistent with the other listing options in perf, the
      current latency trace option was changed to '-L', and '-l' is
      now used to access the script listing as:
      
      To create the list, it searches each scripts/*/bin directory for
      files ending with "-report" and reads information found in
      certain comment lines contained in those shell scripts:
      
        - if the comment line starts with "description:", the rest of the
          line is used as a 'half-line' description.  To keep each line in
          the list to a single line, the description should be limited to 40
          characters (the rest of the line contains the script name and
          args)
      
        - if the comment line starts with "args:", the rest of the line
          names the args the script supports.  Required args should be
          surrounded by <> brackets, optional args by [] brackets.
      
      The current scripts in scripts/perl/bin have also been updated
      with description: and args: comments.

      perf trace/scripting: Add support for script args · 586bc5cc
      Tom Zanussi authored
      One oversight of the original scripting_ops patch was a lack of
      support for passing args to handler scripts.  This adds
      argc/argv to the start_script() scripting_op, and changes the
      rw-by-file script to take 'comm' arg rather than the 'perf'
      value currently hard-coded.  It also takes the opportunity to do
      some related minor cleanup.

      This should be enough for diffs where the system is non
      volatile, i.e. when one doesn't updates binaries.
      
      For volatile environments, stay tuned for the next perf tool
      feature: a buildid cache populated by 'perf record', managed by
      'perf buildid-cache' a-la ccache, and used by all the report
      tools.
