Use symbol table lookups by default if DWARF is not necessary, since powerpc ABIv2 encodes local entry points in the symbol table and the function entry address in DWARF may not be appropriate for kprobes, as described here: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17638 "The DWARF address ranges deliberately include the *whole* function, both global and local entry points." ... "If you want to set probes on a local entry point, you should look up the symbol in the main symbol table (not DWARF), and check the st_other bits; they will indicate whether the function has a local entry point, and what its offset from the global entry point is. Note that GDB does the same when setting a breakpoint on a function entry." Signed-off-by:

ppc64 ELF ABIv2 has a Global Entry Point (GEP) and a Local Entry Point (LEP). For purposes of probing, we need the LEP - the offset to which is encoded in st_other. Signed-off-by:

Allow perf probe to work on ppc ABIv1 without the need to specify the leading dot '.' for functions. 'perf probe do_fork' works with this patch. We do this by changing how symbol name comparison works on ppc ABIv1 - we simply ignore and skip over the initial dot, if one exists, during symbol name comparison. Signed-off-by:

If using the symbol table, symbol addresses are not being fixed up properly, resulting in probes being placed at wrong addresses: # perf probe do_fork Added new event: probe:do_fork (on do_fork) You can now use it in all perf tools, such as: perf record -e probe:do_fork -aR sleep 1 # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events p:probe/do_fork _text+635952 # printf "%x" 635952 9b430 # grep do_fork /boot/System.map c0000000000ab430 T .do_fork Fix by checking for ELF type ET_DYN used by ppc64 kernels.

Currently in perf IPC and other metrics cannot be directly shown separately for both user and kernel in a single run. The problem was that the metrics matching code did not check event qualifiers. With this patch the following case works correctly. % perf stat -e cycles:k,cycles:u,instructions:k,instructions:u true Performance counter stats for 'true': 531,718 cycles:k 203,895 cycles:u 338,151 instructions:k # 0.64 insns per cycle 105,961 instructions:u # 0.52 insns per cycle 0.002989739 seconds time elapsed Previously it would misreport the ratios because they were matching the wrong value. The patch is fairly big, but quite mechanic as it just adds context indexes everywhere. Reported-by:William Cohen <wcohen@redhat.com> Signed-off-by:

This comes from the desire of having -e/--expr to have the same meaning as for 'strace', while other perf tools use it for --event, which 'trace' honours, i.e. all perf tools have --event in common, but trace uses -e for strace's --expr. Clarify it in the --help output. Reported-by:

Adding support to return error information from parse_events function. Following struct will be populated by parse_events function on return: struct parse_events_error { int idx; char *str; char *help; }; where 'idx' is the position in the string where the parsing failed, 'str' contains dynamically allocated error string describing the error and 'help' is optional help string. The change contains reporting function, which currently does not display anything. The code changes to supply error data for specific event types are coming in next patches. However this is what the expected output is: $ sudo perf record -e 'sched:krava' ls event syntax error: 'sched:krava' \___ unknown tracepoint ... $ perf record -e 'cpu/even=0x1/' ls event syntax error: 'cpu/even=0x1/' \___ unknown term valid terms: pc,any,inv,edge,cmask,event,in_tx,ldlat,umask,in_tx_cp,offcore_rsp,config,config1,config2,name,period,branch_type ... $ perf record -e cycles,cache-mises ls event syntax error: '..es,cache-mises' \___ parser error ... The output functions cut the beginning of the event string so the error starts up to 10th character and cut the end of the string of it crosses the terminal width. Signed-off-by: -

Instruction tracing will typically have access to information about the instruction being executed for a particular ip sample. Some of that information will be available in the 'flags' member of struct perf_sample. With the addition of transactions events synthesis to Instruction Tracing options, there is a need to be able easily to see the flags because they show whether the ip is at the start, commit or abort of a tranasaction. Consequently add an option to display the flags. The flags are "bcrosyiABEx" which stand for branch, call, return, conditional, system, asynchronous, interrupt, transaction abort, trace begin, trace end, and in transaction, respectively. Example using Intel PT: perf script -fip,time,event,sym,addr,flags ... 1288.721584105: branches:u: bo 401146 main => 401152 main 1288.721584105: transactions: x 0 401164 main 1288.721584105: branches:u: bx 40117c main => 40119b main 1288.721584105: branches:u: box 4011a4 main => 40117e main 1288.721584105: branches:u: bcx 401187 main => 401094 g ... 1288.721591645: branches:u: bx 4010c4 g => 4010cb g 1288.721591645: branches:u: brx 4010cc g => 401189 main 1288.721591645: transactions: 0 4011a6 main 1288.721593199: branches:u: b 4011a9 main => 4011af main 1288.721593199: branches:u: bo 4011bc main => 40113e main 1288.721593199: branches:u: b 401150 main => 40115a main 1288.721593199: transactions: x 0 401164 main 1288.721593199: branches:u: bx 40117c main => 40119b main 1288.721593199: branches:u: box 4011a4 main => 40117e main 1288.721593199: branches:u: bcx 401187 main => 40105e f ... 1288.722284747: branches:u: brx 401093 f => 401189 main 1288.722284747: branches:u: box 4011a4 main => 40117e main 1288.722284747: branches:u: bcx 401187 main => 40105e f 1288.722285883: transactions: bA 0 401071 f 1288.722285883: branches:u: bA 401071 f => 40116a main 1288.722285883: branches:u: bE 40116a main => 0 [unknown] 1288.722297174: branches:u: bB 0 [unknown] => 40116a main ...

Decoding AUX area data may involve walking object code. Rather than repetitively decoding the same instructions, a cache can be used to cache the results. This patch implements a fairly generic hashtable with a 32-bit key that could be used for other purposes as well. Signed-off-by:

In order to process AUX area tracing data in time order, the queue with data with the lowest timestamp must be processed first. Provide a heap to keep track of which queue that is. As with the queues, a decoder does not have to use the heap, but Intel BTS and Intel PT will use it. Signed-off-by:

Provide functions to queue AUX area tracing data buffers for processing. A AUX area decoder need not use the queues, however Intel BTS and Intel PT will use them. There is one queue for each of the mmap buffers that were used for recording. Because those mmaps were associated with per-cpu or per-thread contexts, the data is time-ordered with respect to those contexts. Signed-off-by:

It is assumed that AUX area decoding will synthesize events for consumption by other tools. At this time, the main use of AUX area tracing will be to capture instruction trace (aka processor trace) data. The nature of instruction tracing suggests the initial inclusion of options for "instructions" and "branches" events, but more could be added as needed. Signed-off-by:

Adrian Hunter authored
Hook into session processing so that AUX area decoding can synthesize events transparently to the tools. The advantages of transparent decoding are that tools can be used directly with perf.data files containing AUX area tracing data, which is easier for the user and more efficient than having a separate decoding tool. This will work as follows: 1. Tools will feed auxtrace events to the decoder using perf_tool->auxtrace() (support for that still to come). 2. The decoder can process side-band events as needed due to the auxtrace->process_event() hook. 3. The decoder can deliver synthesized events into the event stream using perf_session__deliver_synth_event(). Note the expectation is that decoding will work on data that is time-ordered with respect to the per-cpu or per-thread contexts that were recorded. Signed-off-by:
