Add an option to perf record to record running/enabled time for read events, similar to what stat does. This is useful to understand multiplexing problems. Right now the report support is not great, but at least report -D already supports it.

LBR call stack only has user-space callchains. It is output in the PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK data format. For kernel callchains, it's still in the form of PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN. The perf tool has to handle both data sources to construct a complete callstack. For the "perf report -D" option, both lbr and fp information will be displayed. A new call chain recording option "lbr" is introduced into the perf tool for LBR call stack. The user can use --call-graph lbr to get the call stack information from hardware. Here are some examples. When profiling bc(1) on Fedora 19: echo 'scale=2000; 4*a(1)' > cmd; perf record --call-graph lbr bc -l < cmd If enabling LBR, perf report output looks like: 50.36% bc bc [.] bc_divide | --- bc_divide execute run_code yyparse main __libc_start_main _start 33.66% bc bc [.] _one_mult | --- _one_mult bc_divide execute run_code yyparse main __libc_start_main _start 7.62% bc bc [.] _bc_do_add | --- _bc_do_add | |--99.89%-- 0x2000186a8 --0.11%-- [...] 6.83% bc bc [.] _bc_do_sub | --- _bc_do_sub | |--99.94%-- bc_add | execute | run_code | yyparse | main | __libc_start_main | _start --0.06%-- [...] 0.46% bc libc-2.17.so [.] __memset_sse2 | --- __memset_sse2 | |--54.13%-- bc_new_num | | | |--51.00%-- bc_divide | | execute | | run_code | | yyparse | | main | | __libc_start_main | | _start | | | |--30.46%-- _bc_do_sub | | bc_add | | execute | | run_code | | yyparse | | main | | __libc_start_main | | _start | | | --18.55%-- _bc_do_add | bc_add | execute | run_code | yyparse | main | __libc_start_main | _start | --45.87%-- bc_divide execute run_code yyparse main __libc_start_main _start If using FP, perf report output looks like: echo 'scale=2000; 4*a(1)' > cmd; perf record --call-graph fp bc -l < cmd 50.49% bc bc [.] bc_divide | --- bc_divide 33.57% bc bc [.] _one_mult | --- _one_mult 7.61% bc bc [.] _bc_do_add | --- _bc_do_add 0x2000186a8 6.88% bc bc [.] _bc_do_sub | --- _bc_do_sub 0.42% bc libc-2.17.so [.] __memcpy_ssse3_back | --- __memcpy_ssse3_back If using LBR, perf report -D output looks like: 3458145275743 0x2fd750 [0xd8]: PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE(IP, 0x2): 9748/9748: 0x408ea8 period: 609644 addr: 0 ...

Currently, there are two call chain recording options, fp and dwarf. Haswell has a new feature that utilizes the existing LBR facility to record call chains. Kernel side LBR support code provides this as a third option to record call chains. This patch enables the lbr call stack support on the tooling side. LBR call stack has some limitations: - It reuses current LBR facility, so LBR call stack and branch record can not be enabled at the same time. - It is only available for user-space callchains. However, it also offers some advantages: - LBR call stack can work on user apps which don't have frame-pointers or dwarf debug info compiled. It is a good alternative when nothing else works.

"Zero length call" uses the attribute of the call instruction to push the immediate instruction pointer on to the stack and then pops off that address into a register. This is accomplished without any matching return instruction. It confuses the hardware and make the recorded call stack incorrect. We can partially resolve this issue by: decode call instructions and discard any zero length call entry in the LBR stack.

LBR callstack is designed for PEBS, It does not work well with FREEZE_LBRS_ON_PMI for non PEBS event. If FREEZE_LBRS_ON_PMI is set for non PEBS event, PMIs near call/return instructions may cause superfluous increase/decrease of LBR_TOS. This patch modifies __intel_pmu_lbr_enable() to not enable FREEZE_LBRS_ON_PMI when LBR operates in callstack mode. We currently don't use LBR callstack to capture kernel space callchain, so disabling FREEZE_LBRS_ON_PMI should not be a problem.

Use event->attr.branch_sample_type to replace intel_pmu_needs_lbr_smpl() for avoiding duplicated code that implicitly enables the LBR. Currently, branch stack can be enabled by user explicitly requesting branch sampling or implicit branch sampling to correct PEBS skid. For user explicitly requested branch sampling, the branch_sample_type is explicitly set by user. For PEBS case, the branch_sample_type is also implicitly set to PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_ANY in x86_pmu_hw_config.

When the LBR call stack is enabled, it is necessary to save/restore the LBR stack on context switch. The solution is saving/restoring the LBR stack to/from task's perf event context. The LBR stack is saved/restored only when there are events that use the LBR call stack. If no event uses LBR call stack, the LBR stack is reset when task is scheduled in.

Haswell has a new feature that utilizes the existing LBR facility to record call chains. To enable this feature, bits (JCC, NEAR_IND_JMP, NEAR_REL_JMP, FAR_BRANCH, EN_CALLSTACK) in LBR_SELECT must be set to 1, bits (NEAR_REL_CALL, NEAR-IND_CALL, NEAR_RET) must be cleared. Due to a hardware bug of Haswell, this feature doesn't work well with FREEZE_LBRS_ON_PMI. When the call stack feature is enabled, the LBR stack will capture unfiltered call data normally, but as return instructions are executed, the last captured branch record is flushed from the on-chip registers in a last-in first-out (LIFO) manner. Thus, branch information relative to leaf functions will not be captured, while preserving the call stack information of the main line execution path. This patch defines a separate lbr_sel map for Haswell. The map contains a new entry for the call stack feature.

Previous commit introduces context switch callback, its function overlaps with the flush branch stack callback. So we can use the context switch callback to flush LBR stack. This patch adds code that uses the flush branch callback to flush the LBR stack when task is being scheduled in. The callback is enabled only when there are events use the LBR hardware. This patch also removes all old flush branch stack code.

The callback is invoked when process is scheduled in or out. It provides mechanism for later patches to save/store the LBR stack. For the schedule in case, the callback is invoked at the same place that flush branch stack callback is invoked. So it also can replace the flush branch stack callback. To avoid unnecessary overhead, the callback is enabled only when there are events use the LBR stack.

For hardware events, the userspace page of the event gets updated in context switches, so if we read the timestamp in the page, we get fresh info. For software events, this is missing currently. This patch makes the behavior consistent. With this patch, we can implement clock_gettime(THREAD_CPUTIME) with PERF_COUNT_SW_DUMMY in userspace as suggested by Andy and Peter. Code like this: if (pc->cap_user_time) { do { seq = pc->lock; barrier(); running = pc->time_running; cyc = rdtsc(); time_mult = pc->time_mult; time_shift = pc->time_shift; time_offset = pc->time_offset; barrier(); } while (pc->lock != seq); quot = (cyc >> time_shift); rem = cyc & ((1 << time_shift) - 1); delta = time_offset + quot * time_mult + ((rem * time_mult) >> time_shift); running += delta; return running; } I tried it on a busy system, the userspace page updating doesn't have noticeable overhead.
