      perf record: Intercept all events · f5a2c3dc
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      The event interception we need to do in 'perf record' to create
      a list of all DSOs in PERF_RECORD_MMAP events wasn't seeing all
      events, make sure that happens by checking size agains
      event_t->header.size.

      perf archive: Add helper script to package files needed to do analysis · 2c585174
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      It uses 'perf buildid-list --with-hits' to create a tarball with
      what is needed to have in the destination machine ~/.debug
      hierarchy to properly decode the perf.data file specified.
      
      Here is an example where a perf.data file collected on a x86-64
      machine running Fedora 12 is used and then the data is packaged,
      transferred and decoded on a PARISC64 machine running Debian
      Testing, 32-bit userspace:

      Probably the next step is to have 'perf report' notice that there is a
      perf.data.tar.bz2 file in the same directory and look if it was already
      added to ~/.debug/.

      perf buildid-list: Introduce --with-hits option · 88d3d9b7
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      Using this option 'perf buildid-list' will process all samples,
      marking the DSOs that had some hits to list just them.
      
      This in turn will be used by a new porcelain, 'perf archive',
      that will be just a shell script to create a tarball from the
      'perf buildid-list --with-hits' output and the files cached by
      'perf record' in ~/.debug.

      perf record: Encode the domain while synthesizing MMAP events · 18c3daa4
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      In the past 'perf record' had to process only userspace MMAP
      events, the ones generated in the kernel, but after we reused
      the MMAP events to encode the module mapings we ended up adding
      them first to the list of userspace DSOs (dsos__user) and to the
      kernel one (dsos__kernel).
      
      Fix this by encoding the header.misc field and then using it,
      like other parts to decide the right DSOs list to insert/find.
      
      The gotcha here is that since the kernel puts zero in .misc,
      which isn't PERF_RECORD_MISC_KERNEL (1 << 1), to differentiate,
      we put 1 in .misc.

      If not we end up duplicating the module DSOs because first we
      insert them using the short name found in /proc/modules, then,
      when processing synthesized MMAP events we add them again.

      perf tools: Cross platform perf.data analysis support · ba21594c
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      There are still some problems related to loading vmlinux files,
      but those are unrelated to the feature implemented in this
      patch, so will get fixed in the next patches, but here are some
      results:
      
      1. collect perf.data file on a Fedora 12 machine, x86_64, 64-bit
      userland
      
      2. transfer it to a Debian Testing machine, PARISC64, 32-bit
      userland

      So I think this is really, really nice in that it demonstrates
      the portability of perf.data files and the use of build-ids
      accross such aliens worlds :-)
      
      There are some things to fix tho, like the bitmap on the header,
      but things are looking good.

      perf tools: Encode kernel module mappings in perf.data · b7cece76
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      We were always looking at the running machine /proc/modules,
      even when processing a perf.data file, which only makes sense
      when we're doing 'perf record' and 'perf report' on the same
      machine, and in close sucession, or if we don't use modules at
      all, right Peter? ;-)
      
      Now, at 'perf record' time we read /proc/modules, find the long
      path for modules, and put them as PERF_MMAP events, just like we
      did to encode the reloc reference symbol for vmlinux. Talking
      about that now it is encoded in .pgoff, so that we can use
      .{start,len} to store the address boundaries for the kernel so
      that when we reconstruct the kmaps tree we can do lookups right
      away, without having to fixup the end of the kernel maps like we
      did in the past (and now only in perf record).
      
      One more step in the 'perf archive' direction when we'll finally
      be able to collect data in one machine and analyse in another.

      perf probe: Support --line option to show probable source-code lines · 631c9def
      Masami Hiramatsu authored
      Add --line option to support showing probable source-code lines.
      
        perf probe --line SRC:LN[-LN|+NUM]
         or
        perf probe --line FUNC[:LN[-LN|+NUM]]
      
      This option shows source-code with line number if the line can
      be probed. Lines without line number (and blue color) means that
      the line can not be probed, because debuginfo doesn't have the
      information of those lines.
      
      The argument specifies the range of lines, "source.c:100-120"
      shows lines between 100th to l20th in source.c file. And
      "func:10+20" shows 20 lines from 10th line of func function.
      
      e.g.
       # ./perf probe --line kernel/sched.c:1080
       <kernel/sched.c:1080>
                *
                * called with rq->lock held and irqs disabled

         1086         ktime_t time = ktime_add_ns(timer->base->get_time(), delay);
      
                      hrtimer_set_expires(timer, time);
      
         1090         if (rq == this_rq()) {
         1091                 hrtimer_restart(timer);
         1092         } else if (!rq->hrtick_csd_pending) {
         1093                 __smp_call_function_single(cpu_of(rq), &rq->hrtick_csd,
         1094                 rq->hrtick_csd_pending = 1;
      
      If you specifying function name, this shows function-relative
      line number.

      perf tools: Handle relocatable kernels · 56b03f3c
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      DSOs don't have this problem because the kernel emits a
      PERF_MMAP for each new executable mapping it performs on
      monitored threads.
      
      To fix the kernel case we simulate the same behaviour, by having
      'perf record' to synthesize a PERF_MMAP for the kernel, encoded
      like this:
      
      [root@doppio ~]# perf record -a -f sleep 1
      [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
      [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.344 MB perf.data (~15038 samples) ]
      [root@doppio ~]# perf report -D | head -10
      
      0xd0 [0x40]: event: 1
      .
      . ... raw event: size 64 bytes
      .  0000:  01 00 00 00 00 00 40 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ......@........
      .  0010:  00 00 00 81 ff ff ff ff 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ...............
      .  0020:  00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 5b 6b 65 72 6e 65 6c 2e ........  [kernel
      .  0030:  6b 61 6c 6c 73 79 6d 73 2e 5f 74 65 78 74 5d 00  kallsyms._text]
      .  0xd0
      [0x40]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP 0/0: [0xffffffff81000000((nil)) @ (nil)]: [kernel.kallsyms._text]
      
      I.e. we identify such event as having:
      
       .pid      = 0
       .filename = [kernel.kallsyms.REFNAME]
       .start    = REFNAME addr in /proc/kallsyms at 'perf record' time
      
      and use now a hardcoded value of '.text' for REFNAME.
      
      Then, later, in 'perf report', if there are any kernel hits and
      thus we need to resolve kernel symbols, we search for REFNAME
      and if its address changed, relocation happened and we thus must
      change the kernel mapping routines to one that uses .pgoff as
      the relocation to apply.
      
      This way we use the same mechanism used for the other DSOs and
      don't have to do a two pass in all the kernel symbols.

      perf report: Fix --no-call-chain option handling · b9a63b9b
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      To avoid the funny:
      
       [root@doppio ~]# perf record -a -f sleep 2s
       [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
       [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.334 MB perf.data (~14572 samples) ]
       [root@doppio ~]# perf report --no-call-graph
       selected -g but no callchain data. Did you call perf record without -g?
      
      And fix the bug reported by peterz when we do indeed record with
      callchains and then ask for a report without:
      
      [root@doppio ~]# perf record -a -g -f sleep 2s
      [root@doppio ~]# perf report --no-call-graph
      Segmentation fault

      At least on Debian PARISC64, using:

      Using built-in specs.

      there are issues about using 'gcc -o /dev/null':
      
      /usr/bin/ld: final link failed: File truncated
      collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
      
      So we test that and use /dev/null in environments where it
      works, while using an .INTERMEDIATE file on those where it can't
      be used, so that the .perf.dev.null file can be used instead and
      then deleted when make exits.
