We want to stream events as fast as possible to perf.data, and also in the future we want to have splice working, when no interception will be possible. Using build_id__mark_dso_hit_ops to create the list of DSOs that back MMAPs we also optimize disk usage in the build-id cache by only caching DSOs that had hits.

We can check using strcmp, most DSOs don't start with '[' so the test is cheap enough and we had to test it there anyway since when reading perf.data files we weren't calling the routine that created this global variable and thus weren't setting it as "loaded", which was causing a bogus: Failed to open [vdso], continuing without symbols Message as the first line of 'perf report'.

While debugging a problem reported by Pekka Enberg by printing the IP and all the maps for a thread when we don't find a map for an IP I noticed that dso__load_sym needs to fixup these extra maps it creates to hold symbols in different ELF sections than the main kernel one. Now we're back showing things like: [root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]# perf report | grep vsyscall 0.02% mutt [kernel.kallsyms].vsyscall_fn [.] vread_hpet 0.01% named [kernel.kallsyms].vsyscall_fn [.] vread_hpet 0.01% NetworkManager [kernel.kallsyms].vsyscall_fn [.] vread_hpet 0.01% gconfd-2 [kernel.kallsyms].vsyscall_0 [.] vgettimeofday 0.01% hald-addon-rfki [kernel.kallsyms].vsyscall_fn [.] vread_hpet 0.00% dbus-daemon [kernel.kallsyms].vsyscall_fn [.] vread_hpet [root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]# Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frédéric Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Pekka Enberg <penberg@cs.helsinki.fi> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> LKML-Reference: <1265223128-11786-2-git-send-email-acme@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

I noticed while writing the first test in 'perf regtest' that to just test the symbol handling routines one needs to create a perf session, that is a layer centered on a perf.data file, events, etc, so I untied these layers. This reduces the complexity for the users as the number of parameters to most of the symbols and session APIs now was reduced while not adding more state to all the map instances by only having data that is needed to split the kernel (kallsyms and ELF symtab sections) maps and do vmlinux relocation on the main kernel map.

Fix up a few small stylistic details: - use consistent vertical spacing/alignment - remove line80 artifacts - group some global variables better - remove dead code Plus rename 'prof' to 'report' to make it more in line with other tools, and remove the line/file keying as we really want to use IPs like the other tools do.

This patch is required to test the next patch for perf lock. At 064739bc , support for the modifier "__data_loc" of format is added. But, when I wanted to parse format of lock_acquired (or some event else), raw_field_ptr() did not returned correct pointer. So I modified raw_field_ptr() like this patch. Then raw_field_ptr() works well.

One problem with frequency driven counters is that we cannot predict the rate at which they trigger, therefore we have to start them at period=1, this causes a ramp up effect. However, if we fail to propagate the stable state on fork each new child will have to ramp up again. This can lead to significant artifacts in sample data.

This patch improves event scheduling by maximizing the use of PMU registers regardless of the order in which events are created in a group. The algorithm takes into account the list of counter constraints for each event. It assigns events to counters from the most constrained, i.e., works on only one counter, to the least constrained, i.e., works on any counter. Intel Fixed counter events and the BTS special event are also handled via this algorithm which is designed to be fairly generic. The patch also updates the validation of an event to use the scheduling algorithm. This will cause early failure in perf_event_open(). The 2nd version of this patch follows the model used by PPC, by running the scheduling algorithm and the actual assignment separately. Actual assignment takes place in hw_perf_enable() whereas scheduling is implemented in hw_perf_group_sched_in() and x86_pmu_enable().

Processing of debug exceptions in do_debug() can stop if it originated from a hw-breakpoint exception by returning NOTIFY_STOP in most cases. But for certain cases such as: a) user-space breakpoints with pending SIGTRAP signal delivery (as in the case of ptrace induced breakpoints). b) exceptions due to other causes than breakpoints We will continue to process the exception by returning NOTIFY_DONE.
