[PATCH v7 0/2] perf cs-etm: Split Coresight decode by aux records

[James Clark]

Change applies to perf/core (45237f9898fc)

Changes since v6:
 * Fix for snapshot mode where buffers are wrapped. This fix was done by clamping the aux record
   size to the size of the buffer (see comment).
 * Added an extra debugging printout.
 * Typo/formatting fixes.
 * Add the change for --dump-raw-trace as a second commit. I planned to do this later, but have now
   finished it so I'll submit it at the same time.
 * Did some more thorough testing around the different snapshot scenarios.

Decoding snapshot files with duplicate data is improved by this patchset because of the reason
mentioned at the end of the testing section. Coincidentally, the same issue is also fixed in
"[PATCH v1 0/3] coresight: Fix for snapshot mode" but by not saving duplicates, rather than not
decoding them.

[PATCH v7 1/2] perf cs-etm: Split Coresight decode by aux records

[James Clark]

Populate the auxtrace queues using AUX records rather than whole
auxtrace buffers so that the decoder is reset between each aux record.

This is similar to the auxtrace_queues__process_index() ->
auxtrace_queues__add_indexed_event() flow where
perf_session__peek_event() is used to read AUXTRACE events out of
random positions in the file based on the auxtrace index. But now we
loop over all PERF_RECORD_AUX events instead of AUXTRACE buffers. For
each PERF_RECORD_AUX event, we find the corresponding AUXTRACE buffer
using the index, and add a fragment of that buffer to the auxtrace
queues. No other changes to decoding were made, apart from populating
the auxtrace queues. The result of decoding is identical to before,
except in cases where decoding failed completely, due to not resetting
the decoder.

The reason for this change is because AUX records are emitted any time
tracing is disabled, for example when the process is scheduled out.
Because ETM was disabled and enabled again, the decoder also needs to
be reset to force the search for a sync packet. Otherwise there would
be fatal decoding errors.

Testing
=======

Testing was done with the following script, to diff the decoding results
between the patched and un-patched versions of perf:

	#!/bin/bash
	set -ex

	$1 script -i $3 $4 > split.script
	$2 script -i $3 $4 > default.script

	diff split.script default.script | head -n 20

And it was run like this, with various itrace options depending on the
quantity of synthesised events:

	compare.sh ./perf-patched ./perf-default perf-per-cpu-2-threads.data --itrace=i100000ns

No changes in output were observed in the following scenarios:

* Simple per-cpu
	perf record -e cs_etm/@tmc_etr0/u top

* Per-thread, single thread
	perf record -e cs_etm/@tmc_etr0/u --per-thread ./threads_C

* Per-thread multiple threads (but only one thread collected data):
	perf record -e cs_etm/@tmc_etr0/u --per-thread --pid 4596,4597

* Per-thread multiple threads (both threads collected data):
	perf record -e cs_etm/@tmc_etr0/u --per-thread --pid 4596,4597

* Per-cpu explicit threads:
	perf record -e cs_etm/@tmc_etr0/u --pid 853,854

* System-wide (per-cpu):
    perf record -e cs_etm/@tmc_etr0/u -a

* No data collected (no aux buffers)
	Can happen with any command when run for a short period

* Containing truncated records
	Can happen with any command

* Containing aux records with 0 size
	Can happen with any command

* Snapshot mode (various files with and without buffer wrap)
	perf record -e cs_etm/@tmc_etr0/u -a --snapshot

Some differences were observed in the following scenario:

* Snapshot mode (with duplicate buffers)
	perf record -e cs_etm/@tmc_etr0/u -a --snapshot

Fewer samples are generated in snapshot mode if duplicate buffers
were gathered because buffers with the same offset are now only added
once. This gives different, but more correct results and no duplicate
data is decoded any more.

[PATCH v7 1/2] perf cs-etm: Split Coresight decode by aux records

[James Clark]

Populate the auxtrace queues using AUX records rather than whole
auxtrace buffers so that the decoder is reset between each aux record.

This is similar to the auxtrace_queues__process_index() ->
auxtrace_queues__add_indexed_event() flow where
perf_session__peek_event() is used to read AUXTRACE events out of
random positions in the file based on the auxtrace index. But now we
loop over all PERF_RECORD_AUX events instead of AUXTRACE buffers. For
each PERF_RECORD_AUX event, we find the corresponding AUXTRACE buffer
using the index, and add a fragment of that buffer to the auxtrace
queues. No other changes to decoding were made, apart from populating
the auxtrace queues. The result of decoding is identical to before,
except in cases where decoding failed completely, due to not resetting
the decoder.

The reason for this change is because AUX records are emitted any time
tracing is disabled, for example when the process is scheduled out.
Because ETM was disabled and enabled again, the decoder also needs to
be reset to force the search for a sync packet. Otherwise there would
be fatal decoding errors.

between the patched and un-patched versions of perf:

	#!/bin/bash
	set -ex

	$1 script -i $3 $4 > split.script

	diff split.script default.script | head -n 20

And it was run like this, with various itrace options depending on the
quantity of synthesised events:

	compare.sh ./perf-patched ./perf-default perf-per-cpu-2-threads.data --itrace=i100000ns

No changes in output were observed in the following scenarios:

* Simple per-cpu
	perf record -e cs_etm/@tmc_etr0/u top

* Per-thread, single thread
	perf record -e cs_etm/@tmc_etr0/u --per-thread ./threads_C

* Per-thread multiple threads (but only one thread collected data):
	perf record -e cs_etm/@tmc_etr0/u --per-thread --pid 4596,4597

* Per-thread multiple threads (both threads collected data):

* Per-cpu explicit threads:
	perf record -e cs_etm/@tmc_etr0/u --pid 853,854

I tested this patch with kprobe/uprobe events; and confirmed this
patch works as expected.  So:

Tested-by: Leo Yan <leo.yan@linaro.org>


Below shares my testing steps.

- The rationale for the testing is to use "perf probe" to add trace
  points for PERF_RECORD_AUX/PERF_RECORD_AUXTRACE, and add another
  uprobe event for parsing AUX fragment.  So we can compare the
  recorded PERF_RECORD_AUX events, and check if AUX fragment can
  reorganize the perf AUX trace data correctly or not.

- The testing script test_cs_etm_snapshot.sh:
  http://paste.debian.net/1202563/

- Add kprobe event for perf_event_aux_event() so that it can trace
  the perf event PERF_RECORD_AUX:

  # perf probe --add "perf_event_aux_event head=head:x64 size=size:x64"

- Add uprobe event for __auxtrace_mmap__read() so that it can trace
  the perf event PERF_RECORD_AUXTRACE:

  # perf probe -x /mnt/linux-kernel/linux-cs-dev/tools/perf/perf \
     --add "__auxtrace_mmap__read:58 idx=mm->idx head=head:x64 offset=offset:x64 size=size:x64"

- Add uprobe event for cs_etm__queue_aux_fragment():

  # perf probe -x /mnt/linux-kernel/linux-cs-dev/tools/perf/perf \
     --add "cs_etm__queue_aux_fragment:63 aux_offset=aux_offset:x64 aux_size=aux_event->aux_size:x64"

- Enable trace events:

  # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
  # echo 1 > events/probe/enable
  # echo 1 > events/probe_perf/enable

- Executed the testing script and perf report command:

  # sh test_cs_etm_snapshot.sh
  [ perf record: Woken up 7 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 19.534 MB /tmp/__perf_test.perf.data.miRDs ]
  # perf report -i /tmp/__perf_test.perf.data.miRDs

- At the end, I can get the tracing result:

  # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
  # cat trace

[PATCH v7 2/2] perf cs-etm: Split --dump-raw-trace by AUX records

[James Clark]

Currently --dump-raw-trace skips queueing and splitting buffers because
of an early exit condition in cs_etm__process_auxtrace_info(). Once
that is removed we can print the split data by using the queues
and searching for split buffers with the same reference as the
one that is currently being processed.

This keeps the same behaviour of dumping in file order when an AUXTRACE
event appears, rather than moving trace dump to where AUX records are in
the file.

There will be a newline and size printout for each fragment. For example
this buffer is comprised of two AUX records, but was printed as one:

  0 0 0x8098 [0x30]: PERF_RECORD_AUXTRACE size: 0xa0  offset: 0  ref: 0x491a4dfc52fc0e6e  idx: 0  t

  . ... CoreSight ETM Trace data: size 160 bytes
          Idx:0; ID:10;   I_ASYNC : Alignment Synchronisation.
          Idx:12; ID:10;  I_TRACE_INFO : Trace Info.; INFO=0x0 { CC.0 }
          Idx:17; ID:10;  I_ADDR_L_64IS0 : Address, Long, 64 bit, IS0.; Addr=0x0000000000000000;
          Idx:80; ID:10;  I_ASYNC : Alignment Synchronisation.
          Idx:92; ID:10;  I_TRACE_INFO : Trace Info.; INFO=0x0 { CC.0 }
          Idx:97; ID:10;  I_ADDR_L_64IS0 : Address, Long, 64 bit, IS0.; Addr=0xFFFFDE2AD3FD76D4;

But is now printed as two fragments:

  0 0 0x8098 [0x30]: PERF_RECORD_AUXTRACE size: 0xa0  offset: 0  ref: 0x491a4dfc52fc0e6e  idx: 0  t

Decoding errors that appeared in problematic files are now not present,
for example:

        Idx:808; ID:1c; I_BAD_SEQUENCE : Invalid Sequence in packet.[I_ASYNC]
        ...
        PKTP_ETMV4I_0016 : 0x0014 (OCSD_ERR_INVALID_PCKT_HDR) [Invalid packet header]; TrcIdx=822

I tested this patch and the result looks good for me.

I found a side effect introduced by this change is the perf raw dump
also synthesizes events PERF_RECORD_ATTR.  This is because function
cs_etm__synth_events() will execute after applying this patch and it
synthesizes PERF_RECORD_ATTR events.  I don't see any harm for this,
so:

IIUC, in the function cs_etm__process_auxtrace_event(), since
"etm->data_queued" is always true, below flow will never run:

    if (!etm->data_queued) {
        ......

        if (dump_trace)
            if (auxtrace_buffer__get_data(buffer, fd)) {
                    cs_etm__dump_event(etm, buffer);
                    auxtrace_buffer__put_data(buffer);
            }
    }

If so, it's better to use a new patch to polish the code.

Hi Leo,

I think this is not true in piped mode because there is no auxtrace index.
In that mode, events are processed only in file order and cs_etm__process_auxtrace_event()
is called for each buffer.

You can reproduce this with something like this:

     ./perf record -o - ls > stdio.data
     cat stdio.data | ./perf report -i -

There are some other Coresight features that don't work as expected in this mode, like
sorting timestamps between CPUs. The aux split patchset won't work either because random
access isn't possible. And the TRBE patch that I'm working on now won't work, because it
also requires the random access to lookup the flags on the AUX record to configure the 
decoder for unformatted trace.

You are right!  I tried these two commands with cs_etm event, just as
you said, in this case, the AUX trace data is not queued; so the flow
for "if (!etm->data_queued)" should be kept.  If so, I am very fine
for current change.  Thanks for sharing the knowledge.

I think you could continue to review this patch set for AUX data splitting.

Since we have concern for the AUX data splitting with snapshot mode,
James and me both have verified the AUX data splitting (this patch
set) with snapshot mode, and the testing result shows this patch set
is reliable.

Regard another patch set for fixing snapshot mode [1], I will send a new
version (drop patch 1/3 and refine for patch 3/3), so you could hold
on for that patch set.

Thanks,
Leo

I think you could continue to review this patch set for AUX data splitting.

Since we have concern for the AUX data splitting with snapshot mode,
James and me both have verified the AUX data splitting (this patch
set) with snapshot mode, and the testing result shows this patch set
is reliable.

Regard another patch set for fixing snapshot mode [1], I will send a new
version (drop patch 1/3 and refine for patch 3/3), so you could hold
on for that patch set.

Thanks,
Leo

From my point of view, this one is final. It looks like both Leo and I have tested
it with and without his snapshot changes and it's working as expected in both cases.

This patch is the second of a two patch series[1][2].  The first one was applied and
is in Linus' current master branch.  But I can't find the second one in
either your core branch or Linus', and that despite your reply above that it has been
applied.  As such I am guessing something went wrong with the process.  

How do you want to proceed - should we resend the second patch[2] or you still
have it somewhere in your Inbox?

Thanks,
Mathieu

My bad, its no in tmp.perf/urgent, after testing together with other
patches will move to perf/urgent and by the end of this week I'll submit
it to Linus, sorry.
