There's no need for kernel maps to be allocated at this point - sample processing. We search for kernel maps using the kernel map_groups in machine::kmaps which is static. If vmlinux maps for any reason still don't exist, the search correctly fails because they are not in the map group. Signed-off-by:

The current machine__load_kallsyms() function has no caller, so replace it directly with __machine__load_kallsyms(). Also remove the no_kcore argument as it was always called with a 'true' value. Signed-off-by:

We should not search for the kernel start address in __machine__create_kernel_maps(), because it's being used in the 'report' code path, where we are interested in kernel MMAP data address (the one recorded via 'perf record', possibly on another machine, or an older or newer kernel on the same machine where analysis is being performed) instead of in current kernel address. The __machine__create_kernel_maps() function serves purely for creating the machines kernel maps and setting up the kmap group. The report code path then sets the address based on the data from kernel MMAP event in the machine__set_kernel_mmap() function. The kallsyms search address logic is used for test code, that calls machine__create_kernel_maps() to get current maps and calls machine__get_running_kernel_start() to get kernel starting address. Use machine__set_kernel_mmap() to set the kernel maps start address and moving map_groups__fixup_end to be call when all maps are in place. Also make __machine__create_kernel_maps static, because there's no external user. Signed-off-by:

The current code in dso__load() calls is_regular_file(), but it checks its return value only after calling symsrc__init(). That can make symsrc__init() block in elf_* functions on reading the file if the file happens to be device and not regular one. Call symsrc__init() only for regular files. Also remove the symsrc__destroy() cleanup, which is not needed now, because we call symsrc__init() only for regular files. Signed-off-by:

Introduce a new option to print counts after N milliseconds and update 'perf stat' documentation accordingly. Show below is the output of the new option for perf stat. $ perf stat --time 2000 -e cycles -a Performance counter stats for 'system wide': 157,260,423 cycles 2.003060766 seconds time elapsed We can print the count deltas after N milliseconds with this new introduced option. This option is not supported with "-I" option. In addition, according to Kangliang's patch(19afd104), the monitoring overhead for system-wide core event could be very high if the interval-print parameter was below 100ms, and the limitation value is 10ms. So the same warning will be displayed when the time is set between 10ms to 100ms, and the minimal time is limited to 10ms. Users can make a decision according to their spcific cases. Committer notes: This actually stops the workload after the specified time, then prints the counts. So I renamed the option to --timeout and updated the documentation to state that it will not just print the counts after the specified time, but will really stop the 'perf stat' session and print the counts. The rename from 'time' to 'timeout' also fixes the build in systems where 'time' is used by glibc and can't be used as a name of a variable, such as centos:5 and centos:6. Changes since v3: - none. Changes since v2: - modify the time check in __run_perf_stat func to keep some consistency with the workload case. - add the warning when the time is set between 10ms to 100ms. - add the pr_err when the time is set below 10ms. Changes since v1: - none. Signed-off-by:yuzhoujian <yuzhoujian@didichuxing.com> Acked-by:

Add support to display group output for if non grouped events are detected and user forces --group option. Now for non-group events recorded like: $ perf record -e 'cycles,instructions' ls you can still get group output by using --group option in report: $ perf report --group --stdio ... # Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol # ................ ....... ................ ...................... # 17.67% 0.00% ls libc-2.25.so [.] _IO_do_write@@GLIB 15.59% 25.94% ls ls [.] calculate_columns 15.41% 31.35% ls libc-2.25.so [.] __strcoll_l ... Committer note: We should improve on this by making sure that the first line states that this is not a group, but since the user doesn't have to force group view when really using grouped events (e.g. '{cycles,instructions}'), the user better know what is being done...

When we strip the perf binary, dwarf unwind test stop to work. The reason is that strip will remove static function symbols, which we need to check for unwind. This change will keep this test working in cases where the global symbols are put into dynamic symbol table, which is the case on x86. It still won't work on powerpc. Making those 5 local functions global, and adding 'test_dwarf_unwind__' to their names.

Improve error handling when disarming ftrace-based kprobes. Like with arm_kprobe_ftrace(), propagate any errors from disarm_kprobe_ftrace() so that we do not disable/unregister kprobes that are still armed. In other words, unregister_kprobe() and disable_kprobe() should not report success if the kprobe could not be disarmed. disarm_all_kprobes() keeps its current behavior and attempts to disarm all kprobes. It returns the last encountered error and gives a warning if not all probes could be disarmed. This patch is based on Petr Mladek's original patchset (patches 2 and 3) back in 2015, which improved kprobes error handling, found here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/2/26/452 However, further work on this had been paused since then and the patches were not upstreamed.

Improve error handling when arming ftrace-based kprobes. Specifically, if we fail to arm a ftrace-based kprobe, register_kprobe()/enable_kprobe() should report an error instead of success. Previously, this has lead to confusing situations where register_kprobe() would return 0 indicating success, but the kprobe would not be functional if ftrace registration during the kprobe arming process had failed. We should therefore take any errors returned by ftrace into account and propagate this error so that we do not register/enable kprobes that cannot be armed. This can happen if, for example, register_ftrace_function() finds an IPMODIFY conflict (since kprobe_ftrace_ops has this flag set) and returns an error. Such a conflict is possible since livepatches also set the IPMODIFY flag for their ftrace_ops. arm_all_kprobes() keeps its current behavior and attempts to arm all kprobes. It returns the last encountered error and gives a warning if not all probes could be armed. This patch is based on Petr Mladek's original patchset (patches 2 and 3) back in 2015, which improved kprobes error handling, found here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/2/26/452 However, further work on this had been paused since then and the patches were not upstreamed.

Kan Liang authored
perf_top__mmap_read() has a severe performance issue in the Knights Landing/Mill platform, when monitoring heavy load systems. It costs several minutes to finish, which is unacceptable. Currently, 'perf top' uses the non overwrite mode. For non overwrite mode, it tries to read everything in the ringbuffer and doesn't pause it. Once there are lots of samples delivered persistently, the processing time could be very long. Also, the latest samples could be lost when the ringbuffer is full. For overwrite mode, it takes a snapshot for the system by pausing the ringbuffer, which could significantly reduce the processing time. Also, the overwrite mode always keep the latest samples. Considering the real time requirement for 'perf top', the overwrite mode is more suitable for it. Actually, 'perf top' was overwrite mode. It is changed to non overwrite mode since commit 93fc64f1 ("perf top: Switch to non overwrite mode"). It's better to change it back to overwrite mode by default. For the kernel which doesn't support overwrite mode, it will fall back to non overwrite mode. There would be some records lost in overwrite mode because of pausing the ringbuffer. It has little impact for the accuracy of the snapshot and can be tolerated. For overwrite mode, unconditionally wait 100 ms before each snapshot. It also reduces the overhead caused by pausing ringbuffer, especially on light load system. Signed-off-by:

There would be some records lost in overwrite mode because of pausing the ringbuffer. It has little impact for the accuracy of the snapshot and could be tolerated by 'perf top'. Remove the lost events checking. Signed-off-by:

For overwrite mode, the ringbuffer will be paused. The event lost is expected. It needs a way to notify the browser not print the warning. It will be used later for perf top to disable lost event warning in overwrite mode. There is no behavior change for now. Signed-off-by:

Switch to non-overwrite mode if kernel doesnot support overwrite ringbuffer. It's only effect when overwrite mode is supported. No change to current behavior. Signed-off-by:

As tools may need to adjust to missing features, as 'perf top' will, in the next csets, to cope with a missing 'write_backward' feature.

Per-event overwrite term is not forbidden in 'perf top', which can bring problems. Because 'perf top' only support non-overwrite mode now. Add new rules and check regarding to overwrite term for 'perf top'. - All events either have same per-event term or don't have per-event mode setting. Otherwise, it will error out. - Per-event overwrite term should be consistent as opts->overwrite. If not, updating the opts->overwrite according to per-event term. Make it possible to support either non-overwrite or overwrite mode. The overwrite mode is forbidden now, which will be removed when the overwrite mode is supported later. Signed-off-by:

Discards perf_mmap__read_backward() and perf_mmap__read_catchup(). No tools use them. There are tools still use perf_mmap__read_forward(). Keep it, but add comments to point to the new interface for future use. Signed-off-by:

Use the new perf_mmap__read_* interfaces for overwrite ringbuffer test. Commiter notes: Testing: [root@seventh ~]# perf test -v backward 48: Read backward ring buffer : --- start --- test child forked, pid 8309 Using CPUID GenuineIntel-6-9E mmap size 1052672B mmap size 8192B Finished reading overwrite ring buffer: rewind test child finished with 0 ---- end ---- Read backward ring buffer: Ok [root@seventh ~]# Signed-off-by:

Except for 'perf record', the other perf tools read events one by one from the ring buffer using perf_mmap__read_forward(). But it only supports non-overwrite mode. Introduce perf_mmap__read_event() to support both non-overwrite and overwrite mode. Usage: perf_mmap__read_init() while(event = perf_mmap__read_event()) { //process the event perf_mmap__consume() } perf_mmap__read_done() It cannot use perf_mmap__read_backward(). Because it always reads the stale buffer which is already processed. Furthermore, the forward and backward concepts have been removed. The perf_mmap__read_backward() will be replaced and discarded later. Signed-off-by: -

The direction of overwrite mode is backward. The last perf_mmap__read() will set tail to map->prev. Need to correct the map->prev to head which is the end of next read. It will be used later. Signed-off-by:

The 'start' and 'prev' variables are duplicates in perf_mmap__read(). Use 'map->prev' to replace 'start' in perf_mmap__read_*(). Suggested-by:
