When event group is enabled for forked task (i.e. no target task/cpu was specified) all events were disabled and marked ->enable_on_exec. However they wouldn't be counted at all since only group leader will be enabled on exec actually. In contrast to perf stat, perf record doesn't have a real problem as it enables all the event before proceeding. But it needs to be fixed anyway IMHO.

Added new event rule to the event definition grammar: event_def: event_pmu | ... event_pmu: PE_NAME '/' event_config '/' Using this rule, event could be now specified like: cpu/config=1,config1=2,config2=3/u where pmu name 'cpu' is looked up via following path: ${sysfs_mount}/bus/event_source/devices/${pmu} and config options are bound to the pmu's format definiton: ${sysfs_mount}/bus/event_source/devices/${pmu}/format The hardcoded config options still stays and have precedence over any format field defined with same name.

Adding pmu object which provides interface to pmu's sysfs event format definition located at: ${sysfs_mount}/bus/event_source/devices/${pmu}/format Following interface is exported: struct perf_pmu* perf_pmu__find(char *name); - this function returns pmu object, which is then passed as a handle to other interface functions int perf_pmu__config(struct perf_pmu *pmu, struct perf_event_attr *attr, struct list_head *head_terms); - this function configures perf_event_attr struct based on pmu's format definitions and config terms data, containined in head_terms list. Parser generator is used to retrive the pmu's format definition. The generated parser is part of the patch. Added makefile rule 'pmu-parser' to generate the parser code out of the bison/flex sources. Added builtin test 'Test perf pmu format parsing', which could be run like: perf test pmu Acked-by: -

Adding a new rule to the event grammar to be able to specify values of additional attributes of symbolic event. The new syntax for event symbolic definition is: event_legacy_symbol: PE_NAME_SYM '/' event_config '/' | PE_NAME_SYM sep_slash_dc event_config: event_config ',' event_term | event_term event_term: PE_NAME '=' PE_NAME | PE_NAME '=' PE_VALUE PE_NAME sep_slash_dc: '/' | ':' | At the moment the config options are hardcoded to be used for legacy symbol events to define several perf_event_attr fields. It is: 'config' to define perf_event_attr::config 'config1' to define perf_event_attr::config1 'config2' to define perf_event_attr::config2 'period' to define perf_event_attr::sample_period Legacy events could be now specified as: cycles/period=100000/ If term is specified without the value assignment, then 1 is assigned by default.

This patch fixes perf report to not go back two levels when pressing the 'q' key while annotating in branch view mode. When pressing 'q' in annotate mode and if the branch source and target belong to different functions, perf now brings up the annotation popup menu again to offer the option to annotate the other branch source or target. As part of the code restructuring in perf_evsel__hists_browse() we also fix a memory leak on options[] in case of error. Signed-off-by:

Current code has put_ioctx() called asynchronously from aio_fput_routine(); that's done *after* we have killed the request that used to pin ioctx, so there's nothing to stop io_destroy() waiting in wait_for_all_aios() from progressing. As the result, we can end up with async call of put_ioctx() being the last one and possibly happening during exit_mmap() or elf_core_dump(), neither of which expects stray munmap() being done to them... We do need to prevent _freeing_ ioctx until aio_fput_routine() is done with that, but that's all we care about - neither io_destroy() nor exit_aio() will progress past wait_for_all_aios() until aio_fput_routine() does really_put_req(), so the ioctx teardown won't be done until then and we don't care about the contents of ioctx past that point. Since actual freeing of these suckers is RCU-delayed, we don't need to bump ioctx refcount when request goes into list for async removal. All we need is rcu_read_lock held just over the ->ctx_lock-protected area in aio_fput_routine(). Signed-off-by:

Have ioctx_alloc() return an extra reference, so that caller would drop it on success and not bother with re-grabbing it on failure exit. The current code is obviously broken - io_destroy() from another thread that managed to guess the address io_setup() would've returned would free ioctx right under us; gets especially interesting if aio_context_t * we pass to io_setup() points to PROT_READ mapping, so put_user() fails and we end up doing io_destroy() on kioctx another thread has just got freed...

Respectfully revert commit e6ca7b89 "memcg: fix mapcount check in move charge code for anonymous page" for the 3.3 release, so that it behaves exactly like releases 2.6.35 through 3.2 in this respect. Horiguchi-san's commit is correct in itself, 1 makes much more sense than 2 in that check; but it does not go far enough - swapcount should be considered too - if we really want such a check at all. We appear to have reached agreement now, and expect that 3.4 will remove the mapcount check, but had better not make 3.3 different. Signed-off-by:

Commit f0fbf0ab ("x86: integrate delay functions") converted delay_tsc() into a random delay generator for 64 bit. The reason is that it merged the mostly identical versions of delay_32.c and delay_64.c. Though the subtle difference of the result was: static void delay_tsc(unsigned long loops) { - unsigned bclock, now; + unsigned long bclock, now; Now the function uses rdtscl() which returns the lower 32bit of the TSC. On 32bit that's not problematic as unsigned long is 32bit. On 64 bit this fails when the lower 32bit are close to wrap around when bclock is read, because the following check if ((now - bclock) >= loops) break; evaluated to true on 64bit for e.g. bclock = 0xffffffff and now = 0 because the unsigned long (now - bclock) of these values results in 0xffffffff00000001 which is definitely larger than the loops value. That explains Tvortkos observation: "Because I am seeing udelay(500) (_occasionally_) being short, and that by delaying for some duration between 0us (yep) and 491us." Make those variables explicitely u32 again, so this works for both 32 and 64 bit. Reported-by:

This patch adds a new feature bit, namely, HEADER_BRANCH_STACK. When present, it indicates that sample records may contain branch stack.

This patch chanegs the logic of the -b, --branch-stack options of perf record. Based on users' request, the patch provides a default filter mode with the -b (or --branch-any) option. With the option, any type of taken branches is sampled. With -j (or --branch-filter), the user can specify any valid combination of branch types and privilege levels if supported by the underlying hardware. The -b (--branch any) is a shortcut for: --branch-filter any. $ perf record -b foo or: $ perf record --branch-filter any foo For more specific filtering: $ perf record --branch-filter ind_call,u foo Signed-off-by:

This patches provides a way to handle legacy perf.data files. Legacy files are those using the older PERFFILE signature. For those, it is still necessary to detect endianness but without comparing their header->attr_size with the tool's own version as it may be different. Instead, we use a reference table for all known sizes from the legacy era. We try all the combinations for sizes and endianness. If we find a match, we proceed, otherwise we return: "incompatible file format". This is also done for the pipe-mode file format. Signed-off-by:

Stephane Eranian authored
This patch allows perf to process perf.data files generated using an ABI that has a different perf_event_attr struct size, i.e., a different ABI version. The perf_event_attr can be extended, yet perf needs to cope with older perf.data files. Similarly, perf must be able to cope with a perf.data file which is using a newer version of the ABI than what it knows about. This patch adds read_attr(), a routine that reads a perf_event_attr struct from a file incrementally based on its advertised size. If the on-file struct is smaller than what perf knows, then the extra fields are zeroed. If the on-file struct is bigger, then perf only uses what it knows about, the rest is skipped. Signed-off-by:

This patch adds support for taken branch sampling, i.e, the PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK feature to perf report. In other words, to display histograms based on taken branches rather than executed instructions addresses. The new option is called -b and it takes no argument. To generate meaningful output, the perf.data must have been obtained using perf record -b xxx ... where xxx is a branch filter option. The output shows symbols, modules, sorted by 'who branches where' the most often. The percentages reported in the first column refer to the total number of branches captured and not the usual number of samples. Here is a quick example. Here branchy is simple test program which looks as follows: void f2(void) {} void f3(void) {} void f1(unsigned long n) { if (n & 1UL) f2(); else f3(); } int main(void) { unsigned long i; for (i=0; i < N; i++) f1(i); return 0; } Here is the output captured on Nehalem, if we are only interested in user level function calls. $ perf record -b any_call,u -e cycles:u branchy $ perf report -b --sort=symbol 52.34% [.] main [.] f1 24.04% [.] f1 [.] f3 23.60% [.] f1 [.] f2 0.01% [k] _IO_new_file_xsputn [k] _IO_file_overflow 0.01% [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal [k] _IO_new_file_xsputn 0.01% [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal [k] strchrnul 0.01% [k] __printf [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal 0.01% [k] main [k] __printf About half (52%) of the call branches captured are from main() -> f1(). The second half (24%+23%) is split in two equal shares between f1() -> f2(), f1() ->f3(). The output is as expected given the code. It should be noted, that using -b in perf record does not eliminate information in the perf.data file. Consequently, a typical profile can also be obtained by perf report by simply not using its -b option. It is possible to sort on branch related columns: - dso_from, symbol_from - dso_to, symbol_to - mispredict Signed-off-by:Roberto Agostino Vitillo <ravitillo@lbl.gov> Signed-off-by:

This patch adds a new option to enable taken branch stack sampling, i.e., leverage the PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK feature of perf_events. There is a new option to active this mode: -b. It is possible to pass a set of filters to select the type of branches to sample. The following filters are available: - any : any type of branches - any_call : any function call or system call - any_ret : any function return or system call return - any_ind : any indirect branch - u: only when the branch target is at the user level - k: only when the branch target is in the kernel - hv: only when the branch target is in the hypervisor Filters can be combined by passing a comma separated list to the option: $ perf record -b any_call,u -e cycles:u branchy Signed-off-by:
