As these can be obtained from the ordered_events pointer, via container_of, reducing the cross section of ordered_samples. These were added to ordered_samples in: commit b7b61cbe Author: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Date: Tue Mar 3 11:58:45 2015 -0300 perf ordered_events: Shorten function signatures By keeping pointers to machines, evlist and tool in ordered_events. But that was more a transitional patch while moving stuff out from perf_session.c to ordered_events.c and possibly not even needed by then, as we could use the container_of() method and instead of having the nr_unordered_samples stats in events_stats, we can have it in ordered_samples.

Even when it is not used to actually reorder events, some of its fields are used, like session->ordered_events->tool, to shorten function signatures where tool, for instance, was being passed, as the tool is needed for the ordered_events code, we need it there and might as well use it for other perf_session needs. This fixes a problem where 'perf script' had some condition that made session->ordered_events not to be initialized even with its script->tool ordered_events related flags asking for it to be, which looks like another bug and needs to be investigated further. Always initializing session->ordered_events at least leaves the current assumptions in place, so do it now. Reported-by:

Commit 2e77784b ("perf callchain: Move cpumode resolve code to add_callchain_ip") promised "No change in behavior.". As this commit breaks callchains on s390x (symbols not getting resolved, observed when profiling the kernel), this statement is wrong. The cpumode must be kept when iterating over all ips, otherwise the default (PERF_RECORD_MISC_USER) will be used by error. Signed-off-by:

Disabling libbabeltrace check by default and replacing the NO_LIBBABELTRACE make variable with LIBBABELTRACE. Users wanting the libbabeltrace feature need to build via: $ make LIBBABELTRACE=1 The reason for this is that the libababeltrace interface we use (version 1.3) hasn't been packaged/released yet, thus the failing feature check only slows down build and confuses other (non CTF) developers.

While thinking on the whole clock discussion it occurred to me we have two distinct uses of time: 1) the tracking of event/ctx/cgroup enabled/running/stopped times which includes the self-monitoring support in struct perf_event_mmap_page. 2) the actual timestamps visible in the data records. And we've been conflating them. The first is all about tracking time deltas, nobody should really care in what time base that happens, its all relative information, as long as its internally consistent it works. The second however is what people are worried about when having to merge their data with external sources. And here we have the discussion on MONOTONIC vs MONOTONIC_RAW etc.. Where MONOTONIC is good for correlating between machines (static offset), MONOTNIC_RAW is required for correlating against a fixed rate hardware clock. This means configurability; now 1) makes that hard because it needs to be internally consistent across groups of unrelated events; which is why we had to have a global perf_clock(). However, for 2) it doesn't really matter, perf itself doesn't care what it writes into the buffer. The below patch makes the distinction between these two cases by adding perf_event_clock() which is used for the second case. It further makes this configurable on a per-event basis, but adds a few sanity checks such that we cannot combine events with different clocks in confusing ways. And since we then have per-event configurability we might as well retain the 'legacy' behaviour as a default.

On Broadwell INST_RETIRED.ALL cannot be used with any period that doesn't have the lowest 6 bits cleared. And the period should not be smaller than 128. This is erratum BDM11 and BDM55: http://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/specification-updates/5th-gen-core-family-spec-update.pdf BDM11: When using a period < 100; we may get incorrect PEBS/PMI interrupts and/or an invalid counter state. BDM55: When bit0-5 of the period are !0 we may get redundant PEBS records on overflow. Add a new callback to enforce this, and set it for Broadwell. How does this handle the case when an app requests a specific period with some of the bottom bits set? Short answer: Any useful instruction sampling period needs to be 4-6 orders of magnitude larger than 128, as an PMI every 128 instructions would instantly overwhelm the system and be throttled. So the +-64 error from this is really small compared to the period, much smaller than normal system jitter. Long answer (by Peterz): IFF we guarantee perf_event_attr::sample_period >= 128. Suppose we start out with sample_period=192; then we'll set period_left to 192, we'll end up with left = 128 (we truncate the lower bits). We get an interrupt, find that period_left = 64 (>0 so we return 0 and don't get an overflow handler), up that to 128. Then we trigger again, at n=256. Then we find period_left = -64 (<=0 so we return 1 and do get an overflow). We increment with sample_period so we get left = 128. We fire again, at n=384, period_left = 0 (<=0 so we return 1 and get an overflow). And on and on. So while the individual interrupts are 'wrong' we get then with interval=256,128 in exactly the right ratio to average out at 192. And this works for everything >=128. So the num_samples*fixed_period thing is still entirely correct +- 127, which is good enough I'd say, as you already have that error anyhow. So no need to 'fix' the tools, al we need to do is refuse to create INST_RETIRED:ALL events with sample_period < 128. Signed-off-by:

Add Broadwell support for Broadwell to perf. The basic support is very similar to Haswell. We use the new cache event list added for Haswell earlier. The only differences are a few bits related to remote nodes. To avoid an extra, mostly identical, table these are patched up in the initialization code. The constraint list has one new event that needs to be handled over Haswell. Includes code and testing from Kan Liang. Signed-off-by:

Haswell offcore events are quite different from Sandy Bridge. Add a new table to handle Haswell properly. Note that the offcore bits listed in the SDM are not quite correct (this is currently being fixed). An uptodate list of bits is in the patch. The basic setup is similar to Sandy Bridge. The prefetch columns have been removed, as prefetch counting is not very reliable on Haswell. One L1 event that is not in the event list anymore has been also removed. - data reads do not include code reads (comparable to earlier Sandy Bridge tables) - data counts include speculative execution (except L1 write, dtlb, bpu) - remote node access includes both remote memory, remote cache, remote mmio. - prefetches are not included in the counts for consistency (different from Sandy Bridge, which includes prefetches in the remote node) Signed-off-by:

Currently it is possible for an NMI (or FIQ on ARM) to come in and read sched_clock() whilst update_sched_clock() has locked the seqcount for writing. This results in the NMI handler locking up when it calls raw_read_seqcount_begin(). This patch fixes the NMI safety issues by providing banked clock data. This is a similar approach to the one used in Thomas Gleixner's 4396e058("timekeeping: Provide fast and NMI safe access to CLOCK_MONOTONIC"). Suggested-by:

Currently cd.read_data.suspended is read by the hotpath function sched_clock(). This variable need not be accessed on the hotpath. In fact, once it is removed, we can remove the conditional branches from sched_clock() and install a dummy read_sched_clock function to suspend the clock. The new master copy of the function pointer (actual_read_sched_clock) is introduced and is used for all reads of the clock hardware except those within sched_clock itself. Suggested-by:

Currently sched_clock(), a very hot code path, is not optimized to minimise its cache profile. In particular: 1. cd is not ____cacheline_aligned, 2. struct clock_data does not distinguish between hotpath and coldpath data, reducing locality of reference in the hotpath, 3. Some hotpath data is missing from struct clock_data and is marked __read_mostly (which more or less guarantees it will not share a cache line with cd). This patch corrects these problems by extracting all hotpath data into a separate structure and using ____cacheline_aligned to ensure the hotpath uses a single (64 byte) cache line. Signed-off-by: -
Daniel Thompson authored
Currently the scope of the raw_write_seqcount_begin/end() in sched_clock_register() far exceeds the scope of the read section in sched_clock(). This gives the impression of safety during cursory review but achieves little. Note that this is likely to be a latent issue at present because sched_clock_register() is typically called before we enable interrupts, however the issue does risk bugs being needlessly introduced as the code evolves. This patch fixes the problem by increasing the scope of the read locking performed by sched_clock() to cover all data modified by sched_clock_register. We also improve clarity by moving writes to struct clock_data that do not impact sched_clock() outside of the critical section. Signed-off-by:

Guilherme Cox found that: There is, however, a potential bug if there is an item with code zero that is not the first one in the symbol list, since eval_flag(..) returns 0 when it doesn't find anything. That is, if you have the following enums: enum { FOO_START = 0, FOO_GO = 1, FOO_END = 2 } and then have: __print_symbolic(foo, FOO_GO, "go", FOO_START, "start", FOO_END, "end") If none of the enums are known to pevent, then eval_flag() will return zero, and it will match it to the first item in the list, which would be FOO_GO, which is not zero. Luckily, in most cases, the first element would be zero, and the parsing would match out of sheer luck. Reported-by:Guilherme Cox <cox@computer.org> Signed-off-by:
