This test checks reading from backward ring buffer. Test result: # ~/perf test 'ring buffer' 45: Test backward reading from ring buffer : Ok The test case is a while loop which calls prctl(PR_SET_NAME) multiple times. Each prctl should issue 2 events: one PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE, one PERF_RECORD_COMM. The first round creates a relative large ring buffer (256 pages). It can afford all events. Read from it and check the count of each type of events. The second round creates a small ring buffer (1 page) and makes it overwritable. Check the correctness of the buffer. Signed-off-by:

perf_evlist__mmap_read_backward() is introduced for reading backward ring buffer. Since direction for reading such ring buffer is different from the direction kernel writing to it, and since user need to fetch most recent record from it, a perf_evlist__mmap_read_catchup() is introduced to move the reading pointer to the end of the buffer.

Scale values by unit before passing them to the metrics printing functions. This is needed for TopDown, because it needs to scale the slots correctly by pipeline width / SMTness. For existing metrics it shouldn't make any difference, as those generally use events that don't have any units. Signed-off-by:

There is no need to check for DWARF unwinding support when using the 'dwarf' callchain record method, as this will only ask the kernel to collect stack dumps for later DWARF CFI processing, which can be done in another machine, where the support for DWARF unwinding need to be present.

This was happening because just checking if the syscall args list is NULL may mean that there are no args (e.g.: gettid) or that there is no tracepoint info (e.g.: clone) (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - Add extra output of counter values with 'perf stat -vv' (Andi Kleen) Infrastructure changes: - Expose callchain db export via the python API (Chris Phlipot) Code reorganization: - Move some more syscall arg beautifiers from the 'perf trace' main file to separate files in tools/perf/trace/beauty/, to reduce the main file line count (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) Signed-off-by:

Update the export-to-postgresql.py to support the newly introduced callchain export. callchains are added into the existing call_paths table and can now be associated with samples when the "callpaths" commandline option is used with the script. Ex.: $ perf script -s export-to-postgresql.py example_db all callchains Includes the following changes to enable callchain export via the python export APIs: - Add the "callchains" commandline option, which is used to enable callchain export by setting the perf_db_export_callchains global - Add perf_db_export_callchains checks for call_path table creation and population. - Add call_path_id to samples_table to conform with the new API example usage and output using a small test app: test_app.c: volatile int x = 0; void inc_x_loop() { int i; for(i=0; i<100000000; i++) x++; } void a() { inc_x_loop(); } void b() { inc_x_loop(); } int main() { a(); b(); return 0; } example usage: $ gcc -g -O0 test_app.c $ perf record --call-graph=dwarf ./a.out [ perf record: Woken up 77 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 19.373 MB perf.data (2404 samples) ] $ perf script -s scripts/python/export-to-postgresql.py example_db all callchains $ psql example_db example_db=# SELECT (SELECT name FROM symbols WHERE id = cps.symbol_id) as symbol, (SELECT name FROM symbols WHERE id = (SELECT symbol_id from call_paths where id = cps.parent_id)) as parent_symbol, sum(period) as event_count FROM samples join call_paths as cps on call_path_id = cps.id GROUP BY cps.id,evsel_id ORDER BY event_count DESC LIMIT 5; symbol | parent_symbol | event_count ------------------+--------------------------+------------- inc_x_loop | a | 734250982 inc_x_loop | b | 731028057 unknown | unknown | 1335858 task_tick_fair | scheduler_tick | 1238842 update_wall_time | tick_do_update_jiffies64 | 650373 (5 rows) The above data shows total "self time" in cycles for each call path that was sampled. It is intended to demonstrate how it accounts separately for the two ways to reach the "inc_x_loop" function(via "a" and "b"). Recursive common table expressions can be used as well to get cumulative time spent in a function as well, but that is beyond the scope of this basic example.

Chris Phlipot authored
This change allows python scripts to be able to utilize the recent changes to the db export api allowing the export of call_paths derived from sampled callchains. These call paths are also now associated with the samples from which they were derived. - This feature is enabled by setting "perf_db_export_callchains" to true - When enabled, samples that have callchain information will have the callchains exported via call_path_table - The call_path_id field is added to sample_table to enable association of samples with the corresponding callchain stored in the call paths table. A call_path_id of 0 will be exported if there is no corresponding callchain. - When "perf_db_export_callchains" and "perf_db_export_calls" are both set to True, the call path root data structure will be shared. This prevents duplicating of data and call path ids that would result from building two separate call path trees in memory. - The call_return_processor structure definition was relocated to the header file to make its contents visible to db-export.c. This enables the sharing of call path trees between the two features, as mentioned above. This change is visible to python scripts using the python db export api. The change is backwards compatible with scripts written against the previous API, assuming that the scripts model the sample_table function after the one in export-to-postgresql.py script by allowing for additional arguments to be added in the future. ie. using *x as the final argument of the sample_table function.

The exported sample now contains a reference to the call_path_id that represents its callchain. While callchains themselves are nice to have, being able to associate them with samples makes them much more useful, and can allow for such things as determining how much cumulative time is spent in a particular function. This information is normally possible to get from the call return processor. However, when doing normal sampling, call/return information is not available, thus necessitating the need for associating samples directly with call paths. This commit include changes to db-export layer to make this information available for subsequent patches in this change set, but by itself, does not make any changes visible to the user.

Chris Phlipot authored
This change enables the db export api to export callchains. This is accomplished by adding callchains obtained from samples to the call_path_root structure and exporting them via the current call path export API. While the current API does support exporting call paths, this is not supported when sampling. This commit addresses that missing feature by allowing the export of call paths when callchains are present in samples. Summary: - This feature is activated by initializing the call_path_root member inside the db_export structure to a non-null value. - Callchains are resolved with thread__resolve_callchain() and then stored and exported by adding a call path under call path root. - Symbol and DSO for each callchain node are exported via db_ids_from_al() This commit puts in place infrastructure to be used by subsequent commits, and by itself, does not introduce any user-visible changes.

Move the call path handling code out of thread-stack.c and thread-stack.h to allow other components that are not part of thread-stack to create call paths. Summary: - Create call-path.c and call-path.h and add them to the build. - Move all call path related code out of thread-stack.c and thread-stack.h and into call-path.c and call-path.h. - A small subset of structures and functions are now visible through call-path.h, which is required for thread-stack.c to continue to compile. This change is a prerequisite for subsequent patches in this change set and by itself contains no user-visible changes. Signed-off-by:

The existing implementation of thread__resolve_callchain, under certain circumstances, can assemble callchain entries in the incorrect order. The callchain entries are resolved incorrectly for a sample when all of the following conditions are met: 1. callchain_param.order is set to ORDER_CALLER 2. thread__resolve_callchain_sample is able to resolve callchain entries for the sample. 3. unwind__get_entries is also able to resolve callchain entries for the sample. The fix is accomplished by reversing the order in which thread__resolve_callchain_sample and unwind__get_entries are called when callchain_param.order is set to ORDER_CALLER. Unwind specific code from thread__resolve_callchain is also moved into a new static function to improve readability of the fix. How to Reproduce the Existing Bug: Modifying perf script to print call trees in the opposite order or applying the remaining patches from this series and comparing the results output from export-to-postgtresql.py are the easiest ways to see the bug, however it can still be seen in current builds using perf report. Here is how i can reproduce the bug using perf report: # perf record --call-graph=dwarf stress -c 1 -t 5 when i run this command: # perf report --call-graph=flat,0,0,callee This callchain, containing kernel (handle_irq_event, etc) and userspace samples (__libc_start_main, etc) is contained in the output, which looks correct (callee order): gen8_irq_handler handle_irq_event_percpu handle_irq_event handle_edge_irq handle_irq do_IRQ ret_from_intr __random rand 0x558f2a04dded 0x558f2a04c774 __libc_start_main 0x558f2a04dcd9 Now run this command using caller order: # perf report --call-graph=flat,0,0,caller It is expected to see the exact reverse of the above when using caller order (with "0x558f2a04dcd9" at the top and "gen8_irq_handler" at the bottom) in the output, but it is nowhere to be found. instead you see this: ret_from_intr do_IRQ handle_irq handle_edge_irq handle_irq_event handle_irq_event_percpu gen8_irq_handler 0x558f2a04dcd9 __libc_start_main 0x558f2a04c774 0x558f2a04dded rand __random Notice how internally the kernel symbols are reversed and the user space symbols are reversed, but the kernel symbols still appear above the user space symbols. if this patch is applied and perf script is re-run, you will see the expected output (with "0x558f2a04dcd9" at the top and "gen8_irq_handler" at the bottom): 0x558f2a04dcd9 __libc_start_main 0x558f2a04c774 0x558f2a04dded rand __random ret_from_intr do_IRQ handle_irq handle_edge_irq handle_irq_event handle_irq_event_percpu gen8_irq_handler Signed-off-by: -

The test to check if the arg format had been read from the syscall:sys_enter_name/format file was looking at the list of non-commom fields, and if that is empty, it would think it had failed to read it, because it doesn't exist, for instance, for the clone() syscall. So instead before dumping the raw syscall args list check IS_ERR(sc->tp_format), if that is true, then an attempt was made to read the format file and failed, in which case dump the raw arg list values.

In perf_mmap__read(), give better names to pointers. Original name 'old' and 'head' directly related to pointers in ring buffer control page. For backward ring buffer, the meaning of 'head' point is not 'the first byte of free space', but 'the first byte of the last record'. To reduce confusion, rename 'old' to 'start', 'head' to 'end'. 'start' -> 'end' is the direction the records should be read from. Change parameter order. Change 'overwrite' to 'check_messup'. When reading from 'head', no need to check messup for for backward ring buffer. Signed-off-by:

ppc64le functions have a Global Entry Point (GEP) and a Local Entry Point (LEP). While placing a probe, we always prefer the LEP since it catches function calls through both the GEP and the LEP. In order to do this, we fixup the function entry points during elf symbol table lookup to point to the LEPs. This works, but breaks 'perf test kallsyms' since the symbols loaded from the symbol table (pointing to the LEP) do not match the symbols in kallsyms. To fix this, we do not adjust all the symbols during symbol table load. Instead, we note down st_other in a newly introduced arch-specific member of perf symbol structure, and later use this to adjust the probe trace point. Reported-by:

So far, we used to treat probe point offsets as being offset from the LEP. However, userspace applications (objdump/readelf) always show disassembly and offsets from the function GEP. This is confusing to the user as we will end up probing at an address different from what the user expects when looking at the function disassembly with readelf/objdump. Fix this by changing how we modify probe address with perf. If only the function name is provided, we assume the user needs the LEP. Otherwise, if an offset is specified, we assume that the user knows the exact address to probe based on function disassembly, and so we just place the probe from the GEP offset. Finally, kretprobe was also broken with kallsyms as we were trying to specify an offset. This patch also fixes that issue. Reported-by:

Sometimes we want to sort an existing rbtree by a different key, introduce a template for that, that needs only to be provided the rbtree root and the number of entries in it. To do that a new rbtree will be created with extra space for each entry, where possibly pre-calculated keys will be stored to be used in the resort process and also later, when using the newly sorted rbtree. Please check the following two changesets to see it in use for resorting stats for threads and its syscalls in 'perf trace --summary'.

Intel PT decoders need access to various bits of timing related information to be able to correctly decode timing packets from a PT stream (MTC and CBR packets). This patch exports all the necessary bits as sysfs attributes for the sake of consistency: * max_nonturbo_ratio: ratio between the invariant TSC and base clock; * tsc_art_ratio: TSC to core crystal clock ratio (also available as CPUID.15H).

Not all cores prevent using Intel PT and LBRs simultaneously, although most of them still do as of today. This patch adds an opt-in flag for such cores to disable mutual exclusivity between PT and LBR; also flip it on for Goldmont. Signed-off-by:

Commit: 26657848 ("perf/core: Verify we have a single perf_hw_context PMU") forcefully prevents multiple PMUs from sharing perf_hw_context, as this generally doesn't make sense. It is a common bug for uncore PMUs to use perf_hw_context rather than perf_invalid_context, which this detects. However, systems exist with heterogeneous CPUs (and hence heterogeneous HW PMUs), for which sharing perf_hw_context is necessary, and possible in some limited cases. To make this work we have to perform some gymnastics, as we did in these commits: 66eb579e ("perf: allow for PMU-specific event filtering") c904e32a ("arm: perf: filter unschedulable events") To allow those systems to work, we must allow PMUs for heterogeneous CPUs to share perf_hw_context, though we must still disallow sharing otherwise to detect the common misuse of perf_hw_context. This patch adds a new PERF_PMU_CAP_HETEROGENEOUS_CPUS for this, updates the core logic to account for this, and makes use of it in the arm_pmu code that is used for systems with heterogeneous CPUs. Comments are added to make the rationale clear and hopefully avoid accidental abuse. Signed-off-by:
