Some tools have a lot of options, so, providing a way to show help just for some of them may come handy: $ perf report -h --tui Usage: perf report [<options>] --tui Use the TUI interface $ perf report -h --tui --showcpuutilization -b -c Usage: perf report [<options>] -b, --branch-stack use branch records for per branch histogram filling -c, --comms <comm[,comm...]> only consider symbols in these comms --showcpuutilization Show sample percentage for different cpu modes --tui Use the TUI interface $ Using it with perf bash completion is also handy, just make sure you source the needed file: $ . ~/git/linux/tools/perf/perf-completion.sh Then press tab/tab after -- to see a list of options, put them after -h and only the options chosen will have its help presented: $ perf report -h -- --asm-raw --demangle-kernel --group --kallsyms --pretty --stdio --branch-history --disassembler-style --gtk --max-stack --showcpuutilization --symbol-filter --branch-stack --dsos --header --mem-mode --show-info --symbols --call-graph --dump-raw-trace --header-only --modules --show-nr-samples --symfs --children --exclude-other --hide-unresolved --objdump --show-ref-call-graph --threads --column-widths --fields --ignore-callees --parent --show-total-period --tid --comms --field-separator --input --percentage --socket-filter --tui --cpu --force --inverted --percent-limit --sort --verbose --demangle --full-source-path --itrace --pid --source --vmlinux $ perf report -h --socket-filter Usage: perf report [<options>] --socket-filter <n> only show processor socket that match with this filter Suggested-by:Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de> Cc: Brendan Gregg <brendan.d.gregg@gmail.com> Cc: Chandler Carruth <chandlerc@gmail.com> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Cc: Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-83mcdd3wj0379jcgea8w0fxa@git.kernel.orgSigned-off-by:

Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo' 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: User visible changes: - The default for callchains is back to 'callee' when --children is not used. (Namhyung Kim) - Move the 'use_offset' option to the right place where the annotate code expects it to be to be able to properly handle it. (Namhyung Kim) - Don't die when an unknown 'annotate' option is found in the perf config file (usually ~/.perfconfig), just warn the user.

The perf_config() infrastructure we inherited from git calls die() when the provided config callback returns -1, meaning some key in a config section is unexpected, that seems ok for a stdio based tool, but in --tui we end up messing up the output, so just tell the user about the error, wait for a keystroke and return 0, being more resilient and proceeding with what we managed to parse. That die() needs to die, tho :-) Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Cc: Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-pqtsffh2kwr5mwm4qg9kgotu@git.kernel.orgSigned-off-by:

The annotate__configs should be sorted so that it can use bsearch(3). However commit 0c4a5bce ("perf annotate: Display total number of samples with --show-total-period") added a new config item at the end. This resulted in the 'annotate.use_offset' config variable cannot be found and perf terminated like below: $ perf report bad config file line 6 in ~/.perfconfig Signed-off-by:

The caller callchain order is useful with --children option since it can show 'overview' style output, but other commands which don't use --children feature like 'perf script' or even 'perf report/top' without --children are better to keep callee order. Signed-off-by:

Currently 'perf top --call-graph' option is same as 'perf record'. But 'perf top' also need to receive display options in 'perf report'. To do that, change parse_callchain_report_opt() to allow record options too. Now perf top can receive display options like below: $ perf top --call-graph Error: option `call-graph' requires a value Usage: perf top [<options>] --call-graph <mode[,dump_size],output_type,min_percent[,print_limit],call_order[,branch]> setup and enables call-graph (stack chain/backtrace) recording: fp dwarf lbr, output_type (graph, flat, fractal, or none), min percent threshold, optional print limit, callchain order, key (function or address), add branches $ perf top --call-graph callee,graph,fp Signed-off-by: -

Commits such as 65dd297a ("xfs: %pF is only for function pointers") caused a regression because pretty_print() didn't support %ps/%pS. The current %pf/%pF implementation in pretty_print() is what %ps/%pS is supposed to do, so use the same code for %ps/%pS. Addressing the incorrect %pf/%pF implementation is beyond the scope of this patch. Signed-off-by:

Perf will core dump if --per-socket/core -a are applied for perf stat. The root cause is that cpu_map__build_map set refcnt of evlist's cpu_map to 1. It should set refcnt for the newly created cpu_map, not evlist's cpu_map. Here is the example: # perf stat -e cycles --per-socket -a sleep 1 Performance counter stats for 'system wide': S0 36 30,196,257 cycles S1 28 15,823,536 cycles 1.001126828 seconds time elapsed *** Error in `./perf': corrupted double-linked list: 0x00000000021f9090 *** ======= Backtrace: ========= /lib64/libc.so.6[0x3002e7bbe7] /lib64/libc.so.6[0x3002e7d2b5] ./perf(perf_evsel__delete+0x28)[0x485bdd] ./perf[0x4800e8] ./perf(perf_evlist__delete+0x5e)[0x482cd5] ./perf(cmd_stat+0xf25)[0x432328] ./perf[0x4768e0] ./perf[0x476ad6] ./perf[0x476b41] ./perf(main+0x1d0)[0x476db2] /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf5)[0x3002e21b45] ./perf[0x4202c5] Signed-off-by:Kan Liang <kan.liang@intel.com> Acked-by:

This patch add a new branch type sampling filter to perf record. It is named 'call' and maps to PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_CALL. It samples direct call branches only, unlike 'any_call' which includes indirect calls as well. $ perf record -j call -e cycles ..... The man page is updated accordingly. Signed-off-by:

This patch enables the suport for the PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_CALL for Intel x86 processors. When the processor support LBR filtering this the selection is done in hardware. Otherwise, the filter is applied by software. Note that we chose to include zero length calls because they also represent calls. Signed-off-by:

Add a new branch sample type to cover only call branches (function calls). The current ANY_CALL included direct, indirect calls and far jumps. We want to be able to differentiate indirect from direct calls. Therefore we introduce PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_CALL. The implementation is up to each architecture. Signed-off-by:

Commit: b20112ed ("perf/x86: Improve accuracy of perf/sched clock") allowed the time_shift value in perf_event_mmap_page to be as much as 32. Unfortunately the documented algorithms for using time_shift have it shifting an integer, whereas to work correctly with the value 32, the type must be u64. In the case of perf tools, Intel PT decodes correctly but the timestamps that are output (for example by perf script) have lost 32-bits of granularity so they look like they are not changing at all. Fix by limiting the shift to 31 and adjusting the multiplier accordingly. Also update the documentation of perf_event_mmap_page so that new code based on it will be more future-proof. Signed-off-by:

We have three benchmarking subsystems that specify some sort of 'number of loops' parameter - but all of them do it inconsistently: numa: -l/--nr_loops sched messaging: -l/--loops mem memset/memcpy: -i/--iterations Harmonize them to -l/--nr_loops by picking the numa variant - which is also the most likely one to have existing scripting which we don't want to break. Plus improve the parameter help texts to indicate the default value for the nr_loops variable to keep users from guessing ... Also propagate the naming to internal variables. Signed-off-by:

So 'perf bench mem memcpy/memset' has elaborate code to measure memcpy()/memset() performance both with freshly allocated buffers (which includes initial page fault overhead) and with preallocated buffers. But the thing is, the resulting bandwidth results are mostly meaningless, because page faults dominate so much of the cost. It might make sense to measure cache cold vs. cache hot performance, but the code does not do this. So remove this complication, and always prefault the ranges before using them. Signed-off-by:
