Factorize multiple definitions of high level dso helpers into the symbol source file. The side effect is a general export of the verbose and eprintf debugging helpers into a new file dedicated to debugging purposes.

If --pretty=raw is given to perf report -T, it now displays one line per-thread per-counter with the raw event id added.

Improve and fix the handling of per-thread counter stats recorded via perf record -s. Previously we only displayed it in debug printouts (-D) and even that output was hard to disambiguate. I moved everything to utils/values.[ch] so that we may reuse it in perf stat. We get something like this now: # PID TID cache-misses cache-references 4658 4659 495581 3238779 4658 4662 498246 3236823 4658 4663 499531 3243162 Then it'll be easy to add --pretty=raw to display a single line per thread/event. By the way, -S was also used for --symbol... So I used -T/--thread here. perf report: Add -T/--threads to display per-thread counter values We get something like this now: # PID TID cache-misses cache-references 4658 4659 495581 3238779 4658 4662 498246 3236823 4658 4663 499531 3243162 Per-thread arrays of counter values are managed in utils/values.[ch] Signed-off-by: Brice Goglin <Brice.Goglin@inria.fr> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: paulus@samba.org Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Based on Peter's comments, make tracepoint sampling generic just like all the other sampling bits are. This is a rename with no code changes: - PERF_SAMPLE_TP_RECORD to PERF_SAMPLE_RAW - struct perf_tracepoint_record to perf_raw_record We want the system in place that transport tracepoints raw samples events into the perf ring buffer to be generalized and usable by any type of counter.

perf tools: callchain: Fix sum of percentages to be 100% by displaying amount of ignored chains in fractal mode When we filter the callchains below a given percentage, we ignore them and the end result only shows entries that have an upper percentage than the filter threshold. It seems to users then that we have an imbalance in the percentage, as if the sum inside a profiled branch doesn't reach 100%. Since in the past there have been real perf report bugs that showed the same sypmtom, it would be nice to assure the user that the data is perfect and trustable and it all sums up to 100.00%. So fix this by displaying the remaining hits that have been filtered but without more detail than their amount in each branches. Example while filtering below 50%: 7.73% [k] delay_tsc | |--98.22%-- __const_udelay | | | |--86.37%-- ath5k_hw_register_timeout | | ath5k_hw_noise_floor_calibration | | ath5k_hw_reset | | ath5k_reset | | ath5k_config | | ieee80211_hw_config | | | | | |--88.53%-- ieee80211_scan_work | | | worker_thread | | | kthread | | | child_rip | | --11.47%-- [...] | --13.63%-- [...] --1.78%-- [...] Reported-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> LKML-Reference: <1249690585-9145-4-git-send-email-fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

If we recorded with -g option to record the callchain, right now we require a -g option to perf report as well - and people reported this as unnecessary complication: the user already specified -g once, no need to require it a second time. So if the recording includes call-chains, display the callchain by default from perf report.

When the callchain tree comes to insert an empty backtrace, it raises a spurious warning about the fact we are inserting an empty. This is spurious because the radix tree assumes it did something wrong to reach this state. But it didn't, we just met an empty callchain that has to be ignored. This happens occasionally with certain types of call-chain recordings. If it happens it's a big nuisance as perf report output starts with thousands of warning lines.

1. Ignore the -A argument if there is no perf.data file 2. Treat an empty file like a non existent file. Else, perf will try to read the perf.data header, and fail with an error. Treating an empty file like a non-existent file makes sense, since an interupted (as in SIGKILLed) perf could leave such files around, and you don't want to annoy the user with errors for files with no data in it.

If we have the powerpc perf_counter backend compiled in, but the cpu we are running on is one where we don't support the PMU, we currently oops in hw_perf_group_sched_in if we try to use any counters, because ppmu is NULL in that case, and we unconditionally dereference ppmu. This fixes the problem by adding a check if ppmu is NULL at the beginning of hw_perf_group_sched_in, and also at the beginning of the other functions that get called from the perf_counter core, i.e. hw_perf_disable, hw_perf_enable, and hw_perf_counter_setup.

The callchain fractal mode builds each new total hits in a new branch of profiling by using the parent's hits of the current branch plus the hits of the children. This is wrong, the total hits of a branch should be made of the sum of every children hits, we must ignore the parent hits in this scope. This patch also fixes another mistake with the hit counting.

This patch implements the kernel side support for ftrace event record sampling. A new counter sampling attribute is added: PERF_SAMPLE_TP_RECORD which requests ftrace events record sampling. In this case if a PERF_TYPE_TRACEPOINT counter is active and a tracepoint fires, we emit the tracepoint binary record to the perfcounter event buffer, as a sample. Result, after setting PERF_SAMPLE_TP_RECORD attribute from perf record: perf record -f -F 1 -a -e workqueue:workqueue_execution perf report -D 0x21e18 [0x48]: event: 9 . . ... raw event: size 72 bytes . 0000: 09 00 00 00 01 00 48 00 d0 c7 00 81 ff ff ff ff ......H........ . 0010: 0a 00 00 00 0a 00 00 00 21 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ........!...... . 0020: 2b 00 01 02 0a 00 00 00 0a 00 00 00 65 76 65 6e +...........eve . 0030: 74 73 2f 31 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0a 00 00 00 ts/1........... . 0040: e0 b1 31 81 ff ff ff ff ....... . 0x21e18 [0x48]: PERF_EVENT_SAMPLE (IP, 1): 10: 0xffffffff8100c7d0 period: 33 The raw ftrace binary record starts at offset 0020.

For that we need to have an instant access to the perf counter attribute. This is a matter of a flag to add in the struct ftrace_event. - Take care of the events recursivity! Don't ever try to record a lock event for example, it seems some locking is used in the profiling fast path and lead to a tracing recursivity. That will be fixed using raw spinlock or recursivity protection. - [...] - Profit! :-) Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com> Cc: Tom Zanussi <tzanussi@gmail.com> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Pekka Enberg <penberg@cs.helsinki.fi> Cc: Gabriel Munteanu <eduard.munteanu@linux360.ro> Cc: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Adds possible second part to the assign argument of TP_EVENT(). TP_perf_assign( __perf_count(foo); __perf_addr(bar); ) Which, when specified make the swcounter increment with @foo instead of the usual 1, and report @bar for PERF_SAMPLE_ADDR (data address associated with the event) when this triggers a counter overflow.

If filter_add_subsystem_pred() fails due to ENOSPC or ENOMEM, the pred doesn't get freed, while as a side effect it does for other errors. Make it so the caller always frees the pred for any error.

Dan Carpenter sent me a fix to prevent pred from being used if it couldn't be allocated. I noticed the same problem also existed for the create_pred() case and added a fix for that.
