The dynamic sort key requires event name but specifying full event name is rather inconvenient. This patch adds more ways to identify the event in a more compact way. 1. If session has just one event, event name can be omitted. 2. Events can be accessed by index preceded by a percent sign. 3. A part of the name can be used, if it's not ambiguous. The partial name should not contain ':' in it. 4. Full system + event name is still used, it should contain ':'. So in the below example all does same thing: $ perf record -e sched:sched_switch -a sleep 1 $ perf report -s next_pid,next_comm $ perf report -s %1.next_pid,%1.next_comm $ perf report -s switch.next_pid,switch.next_comm $ perf report -s sched:sched_switch.next_pid,sched:sched_switch.next_comm Signed-off-by:Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Acked-by:

The --raw-trace option allows disabling pretty printing by the event's print_fmt or plugin. Besides that, each dynamic sort key now can receive a 'raw' suffix separated by '/' to ask for the raw trace of a specific field. $ perf report -s comm,kmem:kmalloc.gfp_flags ... # Overhead Command gfp_flags # ........ ....... ................... # 99.89% perf GFP_NOFS|GFP_ZERO 0.06% sleep GFP_KERNEL 0.03% perf GFP_KERNEL|GFP_ZERO 0.01% perf GFP_KERNEL Now $ perf report -s comm,kmem:kmalloc.gfp_flags --raw-trace or $ perf report -s comm,kmem:kmalloc.gfp_flags/raw ... # Overhead Command gfp_flags # ........ ....... .......... # 99.89% perf 32848 0.06% sleep 208 0.03% perf 32976 0.01% perf 208 Suggested-and-Acked-by:Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Signed-off-by:

The 'trace' sort key is to show tracepoint event output using either print fmt or plugin. For example sched_switch event (using plugin) will show output like below: # perf record -e sched:sched_switch -a usleep 10 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.197 MB perf.data (69 samples) ] # $ perf report -s trace --stdio ... # Overhead Trace output # ........ ................................................... # 9.48% swapper/0:0 [120] R ==> transmission-gt:17773 [120] 9.48% transmission-gt:17773 [120] S ==> swapper/0:0 [120] 9.04% swapper/2:0 [120] R ==> transmission-gt:17773 [120] 8.92% transmission-gt:17773 [120] S ==> swapper/2:0 [120] 5.25% swapper/0:0 [120] R ==> kworker/0:1H:109 [100] 5.21% kworker/0:1H:109 [100] S ==> swapper/0:0 [120] 1.78% swapper/3:0 [120] R ==> transmission-gt:17773 [120] 1.78% transmission-gt:17773 [120] S ==> swapper/3:0 [120] 1.53% Xephyr:6524 [120] S ==> swapper/0:0 [120] 1.53% swapper/0:0 [120] R ==> Xephyr:6524 [120] 1.17% swapper/2:0 [120] R ==> irq/33-iwlwifi:233 [49] 1.13% irq/33-iwlwifi:233 [49] S ==> swapper/2:0 [120] Note that the 'trace' sort key works only for tracepoint events. If it's used to other type of events, just "N/A" will be printed. Suggested-and-acked-by: -

Each tracepoint event has format string for print to improve readability. Try to parse the output and match the field name. If it finds one, use that for the result. If not, fallbacks to the original output. For example, sort on kmem:kmalloc.gfp_flags looks like below: (Note: libtraceevent plugins are not installed on my system. They might affect the output below) Before: # Overhead Command gfp_flags # ........ ....... .......... # 99.89% perf 32848 0.06% sleep 208 0.03% perf 32976 0.01% perf 208 After: # Overhead Command gfp_flags # ........ ....... ................... # 99.89% perf GFP_NOFS|GFP_ZERO 0.06% sleep GFP_KERNEL 0.03% perf GFP_KERNEL|GFP_ZERO 0.01% perf GFP_KERNEL Signed-off-by: -

The existing sort keys are less useful for tracepoint events in that they are always sampled at the same place, the function where the tracepoint is located. For example, a 'perf report' on sched:sched_switch event looks like the following: # Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol # ........ ............... ................ .............. # 47.22% swapper [kernel.vmlinux] [k] __schedule 21.67% transmission-gt [kernel.vmlinux] [k] __schedule 8.23% netctl-auto [kernel.vmlinux] [k] __schedule 5.53% kworker/0:1H [kernel.vmlinux] [k] __schedule 1.98% Xephyr [kernel.vmlinux] [k] __schedule 1.33% irq/33-iwlwifi [kernel.vmlinux] [k] __schedule 1.17% wpa_cli [kernel.vmlinux] [k] __schedule 1.13% rcu_preempt [kernel.vmlinux] [k] __schedule 0.85% ksoftirqd/0 [kernel.vmlinux] [k] __schedule 0.77% Timer [kernel.vmlinux] [k] __schedule In fact, tracepoints have meaningful information in their fields but there's no way to use in 'perf report' currently. The dynamic sort keys are introduced in this patc to overcome this limitation. The sched:sched_switch events have following fields: # sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/format name: sched_switch ID: 268 format: field:unsigned short common_type; offset:0; size:2; signed:0; field:unsigned char common_flags; offset:2; size:1; signed:0; field:unsigned char common_preempt_count; offset:3; size:1; signed:0; field:int common_pid; offset:4; size:4; signed:1; field:char prev_comm[16]; offset:8; size:16; signed:1; field:pid_t prev_pid; offset:24; size:4; signed:1; field:int prev_prio; offset:28; size:4; signed:1; field:long prev_state; offset:32; size:8; signed:1; field:char next_comm[16]; offset:40; size:16; signed:1; field:pid_t next_pid; offset:56; size:4; signed:1; field:int next_prio; offset:60; size:4; signed:1; print fmt: "prev_comm=%s prev_pid=%d prev_prio=%d prev_state=%s%s ==> next_comm=%s next_pid=%d next_prio=%d", REC->prev_comm, REC->prev_pid, REC->prev_prio, REC->prev_state & (2048-1) ? __print_flags(REC->prev_state & (2048-1), "|", { 1, "S"} , { 2, "D" }, { 4, "T" }, { 8, "t" }, { 16, "Z" }, { 32, "X" }, { 64, "x" }, { 128, "K"}, { 256, "W" }, { 512, "P" }, { 1024, "N" }) : "R", REC->prev_state & 2048 ? "+" : "", REC->next_comm, REC->next_pid, REC->next_prio With dynamic sort keys, you can use <event.field> as a sort key. Those dynamic keys are checked and created on demand. For instance, below is to sort by next_pid field output on the same data file: $ perf report -s comm,sched:sched_switch.next_pid --stdio ... # Overhead Command next_pid # ........ ............... .......... # 21.23% transmission-gt 0 20.86% swapper 17773 6.62% netctl-auto 0 5.25% swapper 109 5.21% kworker/0:1H 0 1.98% Xephyr 0 1.98% swapper 6524 1.98% swapper 27478 1.37% swapper 27476 1.17% swapper 233 Multiple dynamic sort keys are also supported: $ perf report -s comm,sched:sched_switch.next_pid,sched:sched_switch.next_comm --stdio ... # Overhead Command next_pid next_comm # ........ ............... .......... ................ # 20.86% swapper 17773 transmission-gt 9.64% transmission-gt 0 swapper/0 9.16% transmission-gt 0 swapper/2 5.25% swapper 109 kworker/0:1H 5.21% kworker/0:1H 0 swapper/0 2.14% netctl-auto 0 swapper/2 1.98% netctl-auto 0 swapper/0 1.98% swapper 6524 Xephyr 1.98% swapper 27478 netctl-auto 1.78% transmission-gt 0 swapper/3 1.53% Xephyr 0 swapper/0 1.29% netctl-auto 0 swapper/1 1.29% swapper 27476 netctl-auto 1.21% netctl-auto 0 swapper/3 1.17% swapper 233 irq/33-iwlwifi Note that pid 0 exists for each cpu so have comm of 'swapper/N'.

This is a long standing bug with the l1-dcache-stores generic event on AMD machines. My perf_event testsuite has been complaining about this for years and I'm finally getting around to trying to get it fixed. The data_cache_refills:system event does not make sense for l1-dcache-stores. Maybe this was a typo and it was meant to be for l1-dcache-store-misses? In any case, the values returned are nowhere near correct for l1-dcache-stores and in fact the umask values for the event have completely changed with fam15h so it makes even less sense than ever. So just remove it. Signed-off-by:

Knights Landing uncore performance monitoring (perfmon) is derived from Haswell-EP uncore perfmon with several differences. One notable difference is in PCI device IDs. Knights Landing uses common PCI device ID for multiple instances of an uncore PMU device type. In Haswell-EP, each instance of a PMU device type has a unique device ID. Knights Landing uncore components that have performance monitoring units are UBOX, CHA, EDC, MC, M2PCIe, IRP and PCU. Perfmon registers in EDC, MC, IRP, and M2PCIe reside in the PCIe configuration space. Perfmon registers in UBOX, CHA and PCU are accessed via the MSR interface.

Call uncore_pci_box_ctl() function to get the PMON box control MSR offset instead of hard coding the offset. This would allow us to use this snbep_uncore_pci_init_box() function for other PCI PMON devices whose box control MSR offset is different from SNBEP_PCI_PMON_BOX_CTL. Signed-off-by:

Knights Landing core is based on Silvermont core with several differences. Like Silvermont, Knights Landing has 8 pairs of LBR MSRs. However, the LBR MSRs addresses match those of the Xeon cores' first 8 pairs of LBR MSRs Unlike Silvermont, Knights Landing supports hyperthreading. Knights Landing offcore response events config register mask is different from that of the Silvermont. This patch was developed based on a patch from Andi Kleen.

This patch updates the PEBS support for Intel Atom to provide an alias for the cycles:pp event used by perf record/top by default nowadays. On Atom, only INST_RETIRED:ANY supports PEBS, so we use this event instead with a large cmask to count cycles. Given that Core2 has the same issue, we use the intel_pebs_aliases_core2() function for Atom as well. Signed-off-by:

This patches fixes the LBR kernel crashes on Intel Atom. The kernel was assuming that if the CPU supports 64-bit format LBR, then it has an LBR_SELECT MSR. Atom uses 64-bit LBR format but does not have LBR_SELECT. That was causing NULL pointer dereferences in a couple of places. Signed-off-by:

This patch fixes a bug in the filter_events() function. The patch fixes the bug whereby if some mappings did not exist, e.g., STALLED_CYCLES_FRONTEND, then any event after it in the attrs array would disappear from the published list of events in /sys/devices/cpu/events. This could be verified easily on any system post SNB (which do not publish STALLED_CYCLES_FRONTEND): $ ./perf stat -e cycles,ref-cycles true Performance counter stats for 'true': 1,217,348 cycles <not supported> ref-cycles The problem is that in filter_events() there is an assumption that the argument (attrs) is organized in increasing continuous event indexes related to the event_map(). But if we remove the non-supported events by shifing the position in the array, then the lookup x86_pmu.event_map() needs to compensate for it, otherwise we are looking up the wrong index. This patch corrects this problem by compensating for the deleted events and with that ref-cycles reappears (here shown on Haswell): $ perf stat -e ref-cycles,cycles true Performance counter stats for 'true': 4,525,910 ref-cycles 1,064,920 cycles 0.002943888 seconds time elapsed Signed-off-by: -

Add a new 'three-p' precise level, that uses INST_RETIRED.PREC_DIST as base. The basic mechanism of abusing the inverse cmask to get all cycles works the same as before. PREC_DIST is available on Sandy Bridge or later. It had some problems on Sandy Bridge, so we only use it on IvyBridge and later. I tested it on Broadwell and Skylake. PREC_DIST has special support for avoiding shadow effects, which can give better results compare to UOPS_RETIRED. The drawback is that PREC_DIST can only schedule on counter 1, but that is ok for cycle sampling, as there is normally no need to do multiple cycle sampling runs in parallel. It is still possible to run perf top in parallel, as that doesn't use precise mode. Also of course the multiplexing can still allow parallel operation. :pp stays with the previous event. Example: Sample a loop with 10 sqrt with old cycles:pp 0.14 │10: sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0 <-------------- 9.13 │ sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0 11.58 │ sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0 11.51 │ sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0 6.27 │ sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0 10.38 │ sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0 12.20 │ sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0 12.74 │ sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0 5.40 │ sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0 10.14 │ sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0 10.51 │ ↑ jmp 10 We expect all 10 sqrt to get roughly the sample number of samples. But you can see that the instruction directly after the JMP is systematically underestimated in the result, due to sampling shadow effects. With the new PREC_DIST based sampling this problem is gone and all instructions show up roughly evenly: 9.51 │10: sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0 11.74 │ sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0 11.84 │ sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0 6.05 │ sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0 10.46 │ sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0 12.25 │ sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0 12.18 │ sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0 5.26 │ sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0 10.13 │ sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0 10.43 │ sqrtps %xmm1,%xmm0 0.16 │ ↑ jmp 10 Even with PREC_DIST there is still sampling skid and the result is not completely even, but systematic shadow effects are significantly reduced. The improvements are mainly expected to make a difference in high IPC code. With low IPC it should be similar. Signed-off-by:

I added UOPS_RETIRED.ALL by mistake to the Skylake PEBS event list for cycles:pp. But the event is not documented for Skylake, and has some issues. The recommended replacement for cycles:pp is to use INST_RETIRED.ANY+pebs as a base, similar to what CPUs before Sandy Bridge did. This new event is called INST_RETIRED.TOTAL_CYCLES_PS. The event is not really new, but has been already used by perf before Sandy Bridge for the original cycles:p Note the SDM doesn't document that event either, but it's being documented in the latest version of the event list on: https://download.01.org/perfmon/SKL This patch does: - Remove UOPS_RETIRED.ALL from the Skylake PEBS event list - Add INST_RETIRED.ANY to the Skylake PEBS event list, and an table entry to allow cmask=16,inv=1 for cycles:pp - We don't need an extra entry for the base INST_RETIRED event, because it is already covered by the catch-all PEBS table entry. - Switch Skylake to use the Core2 PEBS alias (which is INST_RETIRED.TOTAL_CYCLES_PS) Signed-off-by:

Normally we drop PEBS events with a zero status field. But when there is only a single PEBS event active we can assume the PEBS record is for that event. The PEBS buffer is always flushed when PEBS events are disabled, so there is no risk of mishandling state PEBS records this way. Signed-off-by:

The recent commit: 75f80859 ("perf/x86/intel/pebs: Robustify PEBS buffer drain") causes lots of warnings on different CPUs before Skylake when running PEBS intensive workloads. They can have a zero status field in the PEBS record when PEBS is racing with clearing of GLOBAl_STATUS. This also can cause hangs (it seems there are still problems with printk in NMI). Disable the warning, but still ignore the record. Signed-off-by:

This patch collapses the two 'hard' cases, which are perf_event_{dis,en}able(). I cannot seem to convince myself the current code is correct. So starting with perf_event_disable(); we don't strictly need to test for event->state == ACTIVE, ctx->is_active is enough. If the event is not scheduled while the ctx is, __perf_event_disable() still does the right thing. Its a little less efficient to IPI in that case, over-all simpler. For perf_event_enable(); the same goes, but I think that's actually broken in its current form. The current condition is: ctx->is_active && event->state == OFF, that means it doesn't do anything when !ctx->active && event->state == OFF. This is wrong, it should still mark the event INACTIVE in that case, otherwise we'll still not try and schedule the event once the context becomes active again. This patch implements the two function using the new event_function_call() and does away with the tricky event->state tests.

There's a race on CPU unplug where we free the swevent hash array while it can still have events on. This will result in a use-after-free which is BAD. Simply do not free the hash array on unplug. This leaves the thing around and no use-after-free takes place. When the last swevent dies, we do a for_each_possible_cpu() iteration anyway to clean these up, at which time we'll free it, so no leakage will occur. Reported-by:

Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo-3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/core Pull new perf tool feature from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo: " User visible changes: - Generate perf.data files from 'perf stat', to tap into the scripting capabilities perf has instead of defining a 'perf stat' specific scripting support to calculate event ratios, etc. Simple example: $ perf stat record -e cycles usleep 1 Performance counter stats for 'usleep 1': 1,134,996 cycles 0.000670644 seconds time elapsed $ perf stat report Performance counter stats for '/home/acme/bin/perf stat record -e cycles usleep 1': 1,134,996 cycles 0.000670644 seconds time elapsed $ It generates PERF_RECORD_ userspace records to store the details: $ perf report -D | grep PERF_RECORD 0xf0 [0x28]: PERF_RECORD_THREAD_MAP nr: 1 thread: 27637 0x118 [0x12]: PERF_RECORD_CPU_MAP nr: 1 cpu: 65535 0x12a [0x40]: PERF_RECORD_STAT_CONFIG 0x16a [0x30]: PERF_RECORD_STAT -1 -1 0x19a [0x40]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP -1/0: [0xffffffff81000000(0x1f000000) @ 0xffffffff81000000]: x [kernel.kallsyms]_text 0x1da [0x18]: PERF_RECORD_STAT_ROUND [acme@ssdandy linux]$ An effort was made to make perf.data files generated like this to not generate cryptic messages when processed by older tools. The 'perf script' bits need rebasing, will go up later. Jiri's cover letter for this series: The initial attempt defined its own formula lang and allowed triggering user's script on the end of the stat command: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=136742146322273&w=2 This patchset abandons the idea of new formula language and rather adds support to: - store stat data into perf.data file - add python support to process stat events Basically it allows to store stat data into perf.data and post process it with python scripts in a similar way we do for sampling data. The stat data are stored in new stat, stat-round, stat-config user events. stat - stored for each read syscall of the counter stat round - stored for each interval or end of the command invocation stat config - stores all the config information needed to process data so report tool could restore the same output as record The python script can now define 'stat__<eventname>_<modifier>' functions to get stat events data and 'stat__interval' to get stat-round data. See CPI script example in scripts/python/stat-cpi.py." Also a few other changes: User visible changes: - Make command line options always available, even when they depend on some feature being enabled, warning the user about use of such options (Wang Nan) - Support --vmlinux in perf record, useful, so far, for eBPF, where we will set up events that will be used in the record session (He Kuang) - Automatically disable collecting branch flags and cycles with --call-graph lbr. This allows avoiding a bunch of extra MSR reads in the PMI on Skylake. (Andi Kleen) Infrastructure changes: - Dump the stack when a 'perf test -v ' entry segfaults, so far we would have to run it under gdb with 'set follow-fork-mode child' set to get a proper backtrace (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - Initialize the refcnt in 'struct thread' to 1 and fixup its users accordingly, so that we try to have the same refcount model accross the perf codebase (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - More prep work for moving the subcmd infrastructure out of tools/perf/ and into tools/lib/subcmd/ to be used by other tools/ living utilities (Josh Poimboeuf) - Fix 'perf test' hist testcases when kptr_restrict is on (Namhyung Kim) Signed-off-by:

Allowing to override record aggr_mode. It's possible to use perf stat like: $ perf stat report -A $ perf stat report --per-core $ perf stat report --per-socket To customize the recorded aggregate mode regardless what was used during the stat record command. Reported-by:

Adding processing of event update events, so perf stat report can store additional info for events - unit,scale,name. Committer note: Before: # perf stat record -e power/energy-cores/ -a ^C Performance counter stats for 'system wide': 77.41 Joules power/energy-cores/ 1.597176695 seconds time elapsed # perf stat report Performance counter stats for '/home/acme/bin/perf stat record -e power/energy-cores/ -a': 332,488,114,176 power/energy-cores/ 1.597176695 seconds time elapsed # After, using the same perf.data file generated in the "Before" case above: # perf stat report Performance counter stats for '/home/acme/bin/perf stat record -e power/energy-cores/ -a': 77.41 Joules power/energy-cores/ 1.597176695 seconds time elapsed # Reported-by: -

Adding processing of stat and stat round events. The stat data com in stat events, using generic function process_stat_round_event to store data under perf_evsel object. The stat-round events comes each interval or as last event in non interval mode. The function process_stat_round_event process stored data for each perf_evsel object and print it out. Committer note: After this patch: $ perf stat record usleep 1 Performance counter stats for 'usleep 1': 0.498381 task-clock (msec) # 0.571 CPUs utilized 2 context-switches # 0.004 M/sec 0 cpu-migrations # 0.000 K/sec 149 page-faults # 0.299 M/sec 1,271,635 cycles # 2.552 GHz 928,712 stalled-cycles-frontend # 73.03% frontend cycles idle 663,286 stalled-cycles-backend # 52.16% backend cycles idle 792,614 instructions # 0.62 insns per cycle # 1.17 stalled cycles per insn 136,850 branches # 274.589 M/sec <not counted> branch-misses (0.00%) 0.000873419 seconds time elapsed $ $ perf stat report Performance counter stats for '/home/acme/bin/perf stat record usleep 1': 0.498381 task-clock (msec) # 0.571 CPUs utilized 2 context-switches # 0.004 M/sec 0 cpu-migrations # 0.000 K/sec 149 page-faults # 0.299 M/sec 1,271,635 cycles # 2.552 GHz 928,712 stalled-cycles-frontend # 73.03% frontend cycles idle 663,286 stalled-cycles-backend # 52.16% backend cycles idle 792,614 instructions # 0.62 insns per cycle # 1.17 stalled cycles per insn 136,850 branches # 274.589 M/sec <not counted> branch-misses (0.00%) 0.000873419 seconds time elapsed $ Reported-by: -
