[GIT PULL 00/12] perf/core improvements and fixes

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

Hi Ingo,

	Please consider pulling.

	 I'll continue processing patchsets by Jiri, Namhyung, David, Irina and
others tomorrow.

	I also have to rework the pagefaults patches, as the code it touches
changed lately, will add that NUMA node info you suggested.

- Arnaldo

The following changes since commit ce37f400336a34bb6e72c4700f9dcc2a41ff7163:

  perf tools: Try to build Documentation when installing (2012-10-24 19:30:48 -0200)

----------------------------------------------------------------
perf/core improvements and fixes

. Align the 'Ok'/'FAILED!' test results in 'perf test.

. Support interrupted syscalls in 'trace'

. Add an event duration column and filter in 'trace'.

. There are references to the man pages in some tools, so try to build
  Documentation when installing, warning the user if that is not possible,
  from Borislav Petkov.

. Give user better message if precise is not supported, from David Ahern.

. Try to find cross-built objdump path by using the session environment
  information in the perf.data file header, from Irina Tirdea, original
  patch and idea by Namhyung Kim.

. Diplays more output on features check for make V=1, so that one can figure
  out what is happening by looking at gcc output, etc. From Jiri Olsa.

. Account the nr_entries in rblist properly, fix by Suzuki K. Poulose.

[PATCH 02/12] perf tools: Remove noise in python version feature test

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

Now that the feature tests honours the V=1 make verbosity switch, add a
return to the main() routine in the python version test, to avoid this
distraction:

[PATCH 03/12] perf tools: Try to find cross-built objdump path

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

From: Irina Tirdea <irina.tirdea@intel.com>

As we have architecture information of saved perf.data file, we can try
to find cross-built objdump path.

The triplets include support for Android (arm, x86 and mips
architectures).

[PATCH 04/12] Account the nr_entries in rblist properly

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

From: "Suzuki K. Poulose" <suzuki@in.ibm.com>

The nr_entries in rblist is never decremented when an element
is deleted. Also, use rblist__remove_node to delete a node in
rblist__delete(). This would keep the nr_entries sane.

[PATCH 05/12] perf tools: Give user better message if precise is not supported

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

From: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com>

Platforms (e.g., VM's) without support for precise mode get a confusing
error message. e.g.,
$ perf record -e cycles:p -a -- sleep 1

  Error: sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 95 (Operation not
  supported).  /bin/dmesg may provide additional information.

  No hardware sampling interrupt available. No APIC? If so then you can
  boot the kernel with the "lapic" boot parameter to force-enable it.
  sleep: Terminated

which is not clear that precise mode might be the root problem. With this
patch:

$ perf record -e cycles:p -fo /tmp/perf.data -- sleep 1
  Error:
  'precise' request may not be supported. Try removing 'p' modifier
  sleep: Terminated

v2: softened message to 'may not be' supported per Robert's suggestion

[PATCH 07/12] perf trace: Support interrupted syscalls

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

Using the same strategies as in the tmp.perf/trace2, i.e. the 'trace'
tool implemented by tglx, just updated to the current codebase.

Example:

[root@sandy linux]# perf trace usleep 1  | tail
     2.003: mmap(addr: 0, len: 4096, prot: 3, flags: 34, fd: 4294967295, off: 0   ) = -2128396288
     2.017: mmap(addr: 0, len: 4096, prot: 3, flags: 34, fd: 4294967295, off: 0   ) = -2128400384
     2.029: arch_prctl(option: 4098, arg2: 140146949441280, arg3: 140146949435392, arg4: 34, arg5: 4294967295) = 0
     2.084: mprotect(start: 208741634048, len: 16384, prot: 1                     ) = 0
     2.098: mprotect(start: 208735956992, len: 4096, prot: 1                      ) = 0
     2.122: munmap(addr: 140146949447680, len: 91882                              ) = 0
     2.359: brk(brk: 0                                                            ) = 28987392
     2.371: brk(brk: 29122560                                                     ) = 29122560
     2.490: nanosleep(rqtp: 140735694241504, rmtp: 0                              ) = 0
     2.507: exit_group(error_code: 0
[root@sandy linux]#

For now the timestamp and duration are always on, will be selectable.

Also if multiple threads are being monitored, its tid will appear.

The ret output continues to be interpreted a la strace.

sys_execve, that is not defined via SYSCALL_DEFINE macros and thus
doesn't have an entry in:

[PATCH 12/12] perf tools: Try to build Documentation when installing

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

From: Borislav Petkov <borislav.petkov@amd.com>

There's a portion in the "perf list" output refering to the exact
specification of raw hardware events.

Since this description is in the perf-list manpage, try to build and
install the man pages, warning the user when that is not possible
due to missing packages (xmlto and asciidoc).

  perf trace: Honour -m option (2013-12-02 16:29:40 -0300)

----------------------------------------------------------------
perf/tools improvements and fixes:

. Honour -m option in 'trace', the tool was offering the option to
  set the mmap size, but wasn't using it when doing the actual mmap
  on the events file descriptors, fix from Jiri Olsa.

. Correct the message in feature-libnuma checking, swowing the right
  devel package names for various distros, from Dongsheng Yang.

. Polish 'readn' function and introduce its counterpart, 'writen', from
  Jiri Olsa.

. Start moving timechart state from global variables to a 'perf_tool' derived
  'timechart' struct.

      perf timechart: Move wake_events list to 'struct timechart'

Dongsheng Yang (1):
      perf tools: Correct the message in feature-libnuma checking.

Jiri Olsa (7):
      perf record: Unify data output code into perf_record__write function

  perf symbols: Check compatible symtab type before loading dso (2014-02-24 16:25:01 -0300)

----------------------------------------------------------------
perf/core improvements and fixes

. Add support for the new DWARF unwinder library in elfutils (Jiri Olsa)

. Fix build race in the generation of bison files (Jiri Olsa)

. Further streamline the feature detection display, trimming it a bit to
  show just the libraries detected, using VF=1 gets a more verbose output,
  showing the less interesting feature checks as well (Jiri Olsa).

. Check compatible symtab type before loading dso (Namhyung Kim)

. Check return value of filename__read_debuglink() (Stephane Eranian)

Pulled, thanks a lot Arnaldo!

Btw., the build output looks weird now - on a system that used to pass 
all feature tests there's this output:

  BUILD:   Doing 'make -j12' parallel build
config/Makefile:288: No libdw DWARF unwind found, Please install 
elfutils-devel/libdw-dev >= 0.158 and/or set LIBDW_DIR

Auto-detecting system features:

but:

   Package elfutils-devel-0.156-5.fc19.x86_64 already installed and latest version

Also, the information content of this line is unclear to me:

...     DWARF post unwind library: libunwind


what does that line want to tell?

this tells what DWARF unwind library is compiled
in.. 'libunwind' in this case

the other choice is 'libdw', which was not detected
in your case (and thats what the 1st message tells you)

we discussed with Arnaldo, that we would not display warnings
for missing features by default.. only tell that there are
missing features and display them for verbose (VF=1) output

So my (stylistic) complaint is that it's really reading weird in a 
table generated with the following purpose:

      Auto-detecting system features:

Also, we already know that libunwind is present, because just in the 
line before it, it says:

    ...                     libunwind: [ on  ]

So it's doubly confusing. How about not displaying that line at all? 
Is there a strong reason to not keep 'OFF' messages on a single line?

That's probably a good plan. I'd suggest the following 'short log' for 
failures:

     # Auto-detecting system features: 2 libraries are missing. Try 'make VF=1' for a verbose list.

I.e. that way people can notice if the count goes up or down after an 
update. Also, that too should be a single line, so that it does not 
spam people.

Thanks,

well, on/OFF lines are only about detecting libs

this line:
'DWARF post unwind library: libunwind'

is about telling which one goes in.. could be you have both
libraries detected and need to choose one or keep default

Okay - but that is not at all clear from the output.

forgot.. remote unwind in libdw is supported from version 0.158,
which I guess wasn't updated in FC19 yet

  perf tools: Add snapshot format file parsing (2014-11-24 18:03:51 -0300)

----------------------------------------------------------------
perf/core improvements and fixes:

User visible:

- Callchain improvements from Andi Kleen including:

perf/core improvements and fixes:

New features:

- Deref sys_enter pointer args with contents from probe:vfs_getname, showing
  pathnames instead of pointers in many syscalls in 'perf trace' (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Make 'perf trace' write to stderr by default, just like 'strace' (Milian Woff)

Infrastructure:

- color_vfprintf() fixes (Andi Kleen, Jiri Olsa)

      perf trace: Remember if the vfs_getname tracepoint/kprobe is in place
      perf trace: Use a constant for the syscall formatting buffer
      perf trace: Deref sys_enter pointer args with contents from probe:vfs_getname

  perf symbols: Fix endless loop in dso__split_kallsyms_for_kcore (2015-10-28 11:19:30 -0300)

----------------------------------------------------------------
perf/core improvements and fixes:

User visible:

- Enable per-event perf_event_attr.inherit setting by config terms, i.e.
  this becomes possible:

      $ perf record -e cycles/inherit/ -e instructions/no-inherit/

  This affects the default, that can be changed globally using the --no-inherit
  option.

  This fine grained control appeared in the eBPF patchkit, but this added
  flexibility may end up being useful in other scenarios (Wang Nan)

- Setup pager when printing usage and help, we have long lists of options,
  better use the pager like we do with normal tooling output, i.e. when needed,
  and including any error messages in the paged output (Namhyung Kim)

- Search for more options when passing args to -h, e.g.: (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

  $ perf report -h interface

   Usage: perf report [<options>]

    --gtk    Use the GTK2 interface
    --stdio  Use the stdio interface
    --tui    Use the TUI interface

- Fix reading separate debuginfo files based on a build-id, problem
  found on a Debian system (Dima Kogan)

- Fix endless loop when splitting kallsyms symbols per section for
  handling kcore files, problem found on a s390x system (Jiri Olsa)

Infrastructure:

- Prep work for the 'perf stat record' work that will allow generating
  perf.data files with counting data in addition to the sampling mode
  we have now (Jiri Olsa)

I love this! For example if I'd like to know what symbol related options we have, 
I only have to type:

triton:~/tip> perf top -h sym

 Usage: perf top [<options>]

    -D, --dump-symtab     dump the symbol table used for profiling
    -K, --hide_kernel_symbols

                          only consider these symbols

and it's a nice touch that it's searching in the parameter descriptions as well, 
not just the parameter name. Thus if I only remember some sort of keyword that's 
enough to narrow things down and figure out the option.

One small detail I noticed, for some reason the following search does not work:

  triton:~/tip> perf report -h --invert

    Usage: perf report [<options>]

It only works if I don't use the dashes:

  triton:~/tip> perf report -h invert

   Usage: perf report [<options>]

      -G, --inverted        alias for inverted call graph

... which is a bit surprising, agreed?

Btw., is this bug specific to perf/core, or do we want it for perf/urgent as well?

Btw., another detail, if it searches but does not try, I think we should output a 
warning to the user.

Printing something like this would be more helpful:

   triton:~/tip> perf report -h --invert
 
     Search pattern '--invert' not found amongst the parameters. To resolve this 
     use a different search pattern or use '-h' to list all parameters.

Thanks,

  perf sched latency: Fix thread pid reuse issue (2015-11-05 12:51:00 -0300)

----------------------------------------------------------------
perf/core improvements and fixes:

User visible:

- Fix 'perf top' segfault related to splitting overlapping mmaps (Jiri Olsa)

- Fix 'perf sched latency' when there is pid/tid reuse (Jiri Olsa)

- Fix documentation for 'perf trace -i' (Peter Feiner)

Infrastructure:

- Make the LINUX_VERSION_CODE define available for bpf scriptlets to use (Wang Nan)

- Pass the number of configured CPUs via the __NR_CPUS__ define to bpf scriptlets (Wang Nan)

- Fix libbpf compiler warning on CentOS 6 (Namhyung Kim)

- Only be verbose in several perf test entries, bpf included, when -v is used (Wang Nan)

  perf tools: Separate accounting of contexts and real addresses in a stack trace (2016-05-16 23:11:54 -0300)

----------------------------------------------------------------
perf/core improvements and fixes:

User visible:

- Honour the kernel.perf_event_max_stack knob more precisely by not counting
  PERF_CONTEXT_{KERNEL,USER} when deciding when to stop adding entries to
  the perf_sample->ip_callchain[] array (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Fix identation of 'stalled-backend-cycles' in 'perf stat' (Namhyung Kim)

- Update runtime using 'cpu-clock' event in 'perf stat' (Namhyung Kim)

- Use 'cpu-clock' for cpu targets in 'perf stat' (Namhyung Kim)

- Avoid fractional digits for integer scales in 'perf stat' (Andi Kleen)

- Store vdso buildid unconditionally, as it appears in callchains and
  we're not checking those when creating the build-id table, so we
  end up not being able to resolve VDSO symbols when doing analysis
  on a different machine than the one where recording was done, possibly
  of a different arch even (arm -> x86_64) (He Kuang)

Infrastructure:

- Generalize max_stack sysctl handler, will be used for configuring
  multiple kernel knobs related to callchains (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

Cleanups:

- Introduce DSO__NAME_KALLSYMS and DSO__NAME_KCORE, to stop using
  open coded strings (Masami Hiramatsu)

[GIT PULL 00/12] perf/core improvements and fixes

Hi Ingo,

The following changes since commit 711460514b1c80494f14001bdf30dd70fd401a8f:

  Merge tag 'perf-urgent-for-mingo-20160527' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/urgent (2016-05-29 20:15:37 +0200)

  perf buildid-cache: Use path/to/bin/buildid/elf instead of path/to/bin/buildid (2016-05-30 13:15:03 -0300)

----------------------------------------------------------------
perf/core improvements and fixes:

User visible/kernel ABI:

- Per event callchain limit: Recently we introduced a sysctl to tune the
  max-stack for all events for which callchains were requested:

  $ sysctl kernel.perf_event_max_stack
  kernel.perf_event_max_stack = 127

  Now this patch introduces a way to configure this per event, i.e. this
  becomes possible:

  $ perf record -e sched:*/max-stack=2/ -e block:*/max-stack=10/ -a

  allowing finer tuning of how much buffer space callchains use.

  This uses an u16 from the reserved space at the end, leaving another
  u16 for future use.

  There has been interest in even finer tuning, namely to control the
  max stack for kernel and userspace callchains separately. Further
  discussion is needed, we may for instance use the remaining u16 for
  that and when it is present, assume that the sample_max_stack introduced
  in this patch applies for the kernel, and the u16 left is used for
  limiting the userspace callchain. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

  perf powerpc: Fix build-test failure (2016-09-08 13:44:07 -0300)

----------------------------------------------------------------
perf/core improvements and fixes:

User visible:

- Add branch stack / basic block info to 'perf annotate --stdio', where for
  each branch, we add an asm comment after the instruction with information on
  how often it was taken and predicted. See example with color output at:

    http://vger.kernel.org/~acme/perf/annotate_basic_blocks.png

  (Peter Zijlstra)

- Only open an evsel in CPUs in its cpu map, fixing some use cases in
  systems with multiple PMUs with different CPU maps (Mark Rutland)

- Fix handling of huge TLB maps, recognizing it as anonymous (Wang Nan)

Infrastructure:

- Remove the symbol filtering code, i.e. the callbacks passed to all functions
  that could end up loading a DSO symtab, simplifying the code, eventually
  allowing what we should have had since day one: removing the 'map' parameter
  from dso__load() functions (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

Arch specific build fixes:

- Fix detached tarball build on powerpc, where we were still accessing a
  file outside tools/ (Ravi Bangoria)

Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

----------------------------------------------------------------
Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo (5):
      perf symbols: Mark if a symbol is idle in the library
      perf top: Remove old kernel-only symbol filter
      perf machine: Remove machine->symbol_filter and friends
      perf test vmlinux: Remove dead symbol_filter_t code
      perf symbols: Remove symbol_filter_t machinery

Mark Rutland (2):
      perf evlist: Only open events on CPUs an evsel permits
      perf pmu: Support alternative sysfs cpumask

Peter Zijlstra (1):
      perf annotate: Add branch stack / basic block

Ravi Bangoria (1):
      perf powerpc: Fix build-test failure

Wang Nan (3):
      perf tools: Recognize hugetlb mapping as anon mapping
      tools lib api fs: Add hugetlbfs filesystem detector
      perf record: Mark MAP_HUGETLB when synthesizing mmap events

  tools lib bpf: Fix maps resolution (2016-11-25 11:27:33 -0300)

----------------------------------------------------------------
perf/core improvements and fixes:

New features:

- Improve ARM support in the annotation code, affecting 'perf annotate', 'perf
  report' and live annotation in 'perf top' (Kim Phillips)

- Initial support for PowerPC in the annotation code (Ravi Bangoria)

- Skip repetitive scheduler function on the top of the stack in
  'perf sched timehist' (Namhyung Kim)

Fixes:

- Fix maps resolution in libbpf (Eric Leblond)

- Get the kernel signature via /proc/version_signature, available on
  ubuntu systems, to make sure bpf proggies works, as the one provided
  via 'uname -r' doesn't (Wang Nan)

- Fix segfault in 'perf record' when running with suid and kptr_restrict
  is 1 (Wang Nan)

Infrastructure:

- Support per-arch instruction tables, kept via a static or dynamic table
  (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

  tools lib traceevent, perf tools: Move struct tep_handler definition in a local header file (2018-10-08 15:05:37 -0300)

----------------------------------------------------------------
perf/core improvements and fixes:

. Fix building the python bindings with python3, which fixes some
  problems with building with clang on Clear Linux (Eduardo Habkost)

. Fix coverity warnings, fixing up some error paths and plugging
  some temporary small buffer leaks (Sanskriti Sharma)

. Adopt a wrapper for strerror_r() for the same reasons as recently
  for libbpf (Steven Rostedt)

. S390 does not support watchpoints in 'perf test 22', check if
  that test is supported by the arch. (Thomas Richter)

Test results:

The first ones are container (docker) based builds of tools/perf with
and without libelf support.  Where clang is available, it is also used
to build perf with/without libelf, and building with LIBCLANGLLVM=1
(built-in clang) with gcc and clang when clang and its devel libraries
are installed.

The objtool and samples/bpf/ builds are disabled now that I'm switching from
using the sources in a local volume to fetching them from a http server to
build it inside the container, to make it easier to build in a container cluster.
Those will come back later.

Several are cross builds, the ones with -x-ARCH and the android one, and those
may not have all the features built, due to lack of multi-arch devel packages,
available and being used so far on just a few, like
debian:experimental-x-{arm64,mipsel}.

The 'perf test' one will perform a variety of tests exercising
tools/perf/util/, tools/lib/{bpf,traceevent,etc}, as well as run perf commands
with a variety of command line event specifications to then intercept the
sys_perf_event syscall to check that the perf_event_attr fields are set up as
expected, among a variety of other unit tests.

Then there is the 'make -C tools/perf build-test' ones, that build tools/perf/
with a variety of feature sets, exercising the build with an incomplete set of
features as well as with a complete one. It is planned to have it run on each
of the containers mentioned above, using some container orchestration
infrastructure. Get in contact if interested in helping having this in place.

The Clear Linux container is building with NO_CLANG=1, some problem
preventing its use when building for python3 have been fixed, some more
have been identified and the next builds will build in ClearLinux with
both gcc and clang. This time around only gcc was used.
