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 10.34, , ,[.] __GI_memmove 8.25,+2.00%, ,[.] _int_malloc 5.07,-1.00%, +2,[.] __GI_mempcpy 7.62,+2.00%, -1,[.] _int_free 6.99,+1.00%, -1,[.] _IO_new_file_xsputn 1.89,-2.00%, +4,[.] __readdir64 $ Signed-off-by:Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frédéric Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> LKML-Reference: <1260978567-550-1-git-send-email-acme@infradead.org> Signed-off-by:

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. Signed-off-by:

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 prevents users to open old or different debuginfo from current running kernel. Signed-off-by:

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) Signed-off-by:

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.

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() subsequently.

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) ] root@tropicana:~# perf trace report rw-by-file perf file read counts for perf: fd # reads bytes_requested ------ ---------- ----------- 122 1934 1980416 120 1 32 file write counts for perf: fd # writes bytes_written ------ ---------- ----------- 3 4006 280568 perf trace Perl script stopped Signed-off-by: -

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. Signed-off-by: -

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. Signed-off-by:
