It shouldn't be zero, but if the 'perf probe' on getname_flags() (or elsewhere in the future we need to probe to catch the pathname for syscalls like 'open' being copied from userspace to the kernel) is misplaced somehow, then we will end up not allocating space and trying to copy the "" empty string to ttrace->filename.name, causing a segfault, fix it.

Add generic infrastructure to perf stat to output ratios for "MetricExpr" entries in the event lists. Many events are more useful as ratios than in raw form, typically some count in relation to total ticks. Transfer the MetricExpr information from the alias to the evsel. We mark the events that need to be collected for MetricExpr, and also link the events using them with a pointer. The code is careful to always prefer the right event in the same group to minimize multiplexing errors. At the moment only a single relation is supported. Then add a rblist to the stat shadow code that remembers stats based on the cpu and context. Then finally update and retrieve and print these values similarly to the existing hardcoded perf metrics. We use the simple expression parser added earlier to evaluate the expression. Normally we just output the result without further commentary, but for --metric-only this would lead to empty columns. So for this case use the original event as description. There is no attempt to automatically add the MetricExpr event, if it is missing, however we suggest it to the user, because the user tool doesn't have enough information to reliably construct a group that is guaranteed to schedule. So we leave that to the user. % perf stat -a -I 1000 -e '{unc_p_clockticks,unc_p_freq_max_os_cycles}' 1.000147889 800,085,181 unc_p_clockticks 1.000147889 93,126,241 unc_p_freq_max_os_cycles # 11.6 2.000448381 800,218,217 unc_p_clockticks 2.000448381 142,516,095 unc_p_freq_max_os_cycles # 17.8 3.000639852 800,243,057 unc_p_clockticks 3.000639852 162,292,689 unc_p_freq_max_os_cycles # 20.3 % perf stat -a -I 1000 -e '{unc_p_clockticks,unc_p_freq_max_os_cycles}' --metric-only # time freq_max_os_cycles % 1.000127077 0.9 2.000301436 0.7 3.000456379 0.0 v2: Change from DivideBy to MetricExpr v3: Use expr__ prefix.

Add a simple expression parser good enough to parse JSON relation expressions. The parser is implemented using bison. This is just intended as an simple parser for internal usage in the event lists, not the beginning of a "perf scripting language" v2: Use expr__ prefix instead of expr_ Support multiple free variables for parser Committer note: The v2 patch had: %define api.pure full In expr.y, that is a feature introduced in bison 2.7, to have reentrant parsers, not using global variables, which would make tools/perf stop building with the bison version shipped in older distros, so Andi realised that the other parsers (e.g. parse-events.y) were using: %pure-parser Which is present in older versions of bison and fits the bill. I added: CFLAGS_expr-bison.o += -DYYENABLE_NLS=0 -DYYLTYPE_IS_TRIVIAL=0 -w To finally make it build, copying what was there for pmu-bison.o, another parser. Signed-off-by:

When the user specifies a pmu directly, expand it automatically with a prefix match for all available PMUs, similar as we do for the normal aliases now. This allows to specify attributes for duplicated boxes quickly. For example uncore_cbox_{0,6}/.../ can be now specified as uncore_cbox/.../ and it gets automatically expanded for all boxes. This generally makes it more concise to write uncore specifications, and also avoids the need to know the exact topology of the system.

The uncore PMU has a lot of duplicated PMUs for different subsystems. When expanding an uncore alias we usually end up with a large number of identically named aliases, which makes perf stat output difficult to read. Automatically sum them up in perf stat, unless --no-merge is specified. This can be default because only the uncores generally have duplicated aliases. Other PMUs have unique names.

The 'grep -v "filename"' applied to the objdump command output cause a side effect eliminating filename:linenr of output of 'objdump -l' if the object file name and source file name are the same, fix it. E.g. the output of the following objdump command in symbol__disassemble(): $ objdump -l -d -S -C /home/taeung/hello --start-address=... /home/taeung/hello: file format elf64-x86-64 Disassembly of section .text: 0000000000400526 <main>: main(): /home/taeung/hello.c:4 void main() { 400526: 55 push %rbp 400527: 48 89 e5 mov %rsp,%rbp /home/taeung/hello.c:5 ... But it uses grep -v "filename" e.g. "/home/taeung/hello" in the objdump command to remove the first line containing file name and file format ("/home/taeung/hello: file format elf64-x86-64"): Before: $ objdump -l -d -S -C /home/taeung/hello | grep /home/taeung/hello But this causes a side effect, removing filename:linenr too, because the object file and source file have the same name e.g. "/home/taueng/hello", "/home/taeung/hello.c" So more do a better match by using grep -v as below to correctly remove that first line: "/home/taeung/hello: file format elf64-x86-64" After: $ objdump -l -d -S -C /home/taeung/hello | grep /home/taeung/hello: Signed-off-by:Taeung Song <treeze.taeung@gmail.com> Tested-by:

An sdt probe can be associated with arguments but they were not passed to the user probe tracing interface (uprobe_events); this patch adapts the sdt argument descriptors according to the uprobe input format. As the uprobe parser does not support scaled address mode, perf will skip arguments which cannot be adapted to the uprobe format. Here are the results: $ perf buildid-cache -v --add test_sdt $ perf probe -x test_sdt sdt_libfoo:table_frob $ perf probe -x test_sdt sdt_libfoo:table_diddle $ perf record -e sdt_libfoo:table_frob -e sdt_libfoo:table_diddle test_sdt $ perf script test_sdt ... 666.255678: sdt_libfoo:table_frob: (4004d7) arg0=0 arg1=0 test_sdt ... 666.255683: sdt_libfoo:table_diddle: (40051a) arg0=0 arg1=0 test_sdt ... 666.255686: sdt_libfoo:table_frob: (4004d7) arg0=1 arg1=2 test_sdt ... 666.255689: sdt_libfoo:table_diddle: (40051a) arg0=3 arg1=4 test_sdt ... 666.255692: sdt_libfoo:table_frob: (4004d7) arg0=2 arg1=4 test_sdt ... 666.255694: sdt_libfoo:table_diddle: (40051a) arg0=6 arg1=8 Signed-off-by:

On old perf, when using 'perf probe -d' to delete an inexistent event, it returns errno, eg, -bash-4.3# perf probe -d xxx || echo $? Info: Event "*:xxx" does not exist. Error: Failed to delete events. 255 But now perf_del_probe_events() will always set ret = 0, different from previous del_perf_probe_events(). After this, it returns errno again, eg, -bash-4.3# ./perf probe -d xxx || echo $? "xxx" does not hit any event.

This patch decodes the 'partial' flag in AUX records and prints a warning to the user, so that they don't have to guess why their PT traces contain gaps (or missing altogether): Warning: AUX data had gaps in it 8 times out of 8! Are you running a KVM guest in the background? Trying to be even more helpful, we will detect if the user's kvm driver sets up exclusive VMX root mode for the entire lifespan of the kvm process: Reloading kvm_intel module with vmm_exclusive=0 will reduce the gaps to only guest's timeslices. Note however, that you'll still have gaps in cpu-wide traces even with vmm_exclusive=0, but the number of gaps will be below 100% (as opposed to the above example). Currently this is the only reason for partial records. Signed-off-by:

When I use -i option for report subcommand, it doesn't accept it. We need add common options using OPT_PARENT macro. perf lock report -i lock_perf.data Error: unknown switch `i' Usage: perf lock report [<options>] -f, --force don't complain, do it -k, --key <acquired> key for sorting ...

Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo-4.12-20170316' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/core Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo: New features: - Add 'brstackinsn' field in 'perf script' to reuse the x86 instruction decoder used in the Intel PT code to study hot paths to samples (Andi Kleen) Kernel changes: - Default UPROBES_EVENTS to Y (Alexei Starovoitov) - Fix check for kretprobe offset within function entry (Naveen N. Rao) Infrastructure changes: - Introduce util func is_sdt_event() (Ravi Bangoria) - Make perf_event__synthesize_mmap_events() scale on older kernels where reading /proc/pid/maps is way slower than reading /proc/pid/task/pid/maps (Stephane Eranian) Signed-off-by:

As it is already turned on by most distros, so just flip the default to Y. Suggested-by:

Implement printing instruction sequences as hex dump for branch stacks. This relies on the x86 instruction decoder used by the PT decoder to find the lengths of instructions to dump them individually. This is good enough for pattern matching. This allows to study hot paths for individual samples, together with branch misprediction and cycle count / IPC information if available (on Skylake systems). % perf record -b ... % perf script -F brstackinsn ... read_hpet+67: ffffffff9905b843 insn: 74 ea # PRED ffffffff9905b82f insn: 85 c9 ffffffff9905b831 insn: 74 12 ffffffff9905b833 insn: f3 90 ffffffff9905b835 insn: 48 8b 0f ffffffff9905b838 insn: 48 89 ca ffffffff9905b83b insn: 48 c1 ea 20 ffffffff9905b83f insn: 39 f2 ffffffff9905b841 insn: 89 d0 ffffffff9905b843 insn: 74 ea # PRED Only works when no special branch filters are specified. Occasionally the path does not reach up to the sample IP, as the LBRs may be frozen before executing a final jump. In this case we print a special message. The instruction dumper piggy backs on the existing infrastructure from the IP PT decoder. An earlier iteration of this patch relied on a disassembler, but this version only uses the existing instruction decoder. Committer note: Added hint about how to get suitable perf.data files for use with '-F brstackinsm': $ perf record usleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.018 MB perf.data (8 samples) ] $ $ perf script -F brstackinsn Display of branch stack assembler requested, but non all-branch filter set Hint: run 'perf record -b ...' $ Signed-off-by: -

We use those in tools/arch/x86/lib/mem{cpy,set}_64.S, in turn used in the 'perf bench mem' benchmarks. The changes in the following csets are not relevant for this usecase, but lets sync it to silence the diff detector in the tools build system: 78d1b296 ("x86/cpu: Add X86_FEATURE_CPUID") 3bba73b1 ("x86/cpufeature: Move RING3MWAIT feature to avoid conflicts") Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-nsqxpyzcv4ywesikhhhrgfgc@git.kernel.orgSigned-off-by:
