Stephane Eranian authored
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(). Signed-off-by:

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.

Introduce ftrace_perf_buf_prepare() and ftrace_perf_buf_submit() to gather the common code that operates on raw events sampling buffer. This cleans up redundant code between regular trace events, syscall events and kprobe events. Changelog v1->v2: - Rename function name as per Masami and Frederic's suggestion - Add __kprobes for ftrace_perf_buf_prepare() and make ftrace_perf_buf_submit() inline as per Masami's suggestion - Export ftrace_perf_buf_prepare since modules will use it Signed-off-by:

When running perf across all cpus with backtracing (-a -g), sometimes we get samples without associated backtraces: 23.44% init [kernel] [k] restore 11.46% init eeba0c [k] 0x00000000eeba0c 6.77% swapper [kernel] [k] .perf_ctx_adjust_freq 5.73% init [kernel] [k] .__trace_hcall_entry 4.69% perf libc-2.9.so [.] 0x0000000006bb8c | |--11.11%-- 0xfffa941bbbc It turns out the backtrace code has a check for the idle task and the IP sampling does not. This creates problems when profiling an interrupt heavy workload (in my case 10Gbit ethernet) since we get no backtraces for interrupts received while idle (ie most of the workload). Right now x86 and sh check that current is not NULL, which should never happen so remove that too. Idle task's exclusion must be performed from the core code, on top of perf_event_attr:exclude_idle.

There was a bug in the old period code that caused intel_pmu_enable_all() or native_write_msr_safe() to show up quite high in the profiles. In staring at that code it made my head hurt, so I rewrote it in a hopefully simpler fashion. Its now fully symetric between tick and overflow driven adjustments and uses less data to boot. The only complication is that it basically wants to do a u128 division. The code approximates that in a rather simple truncate until it fits fashion, taking care to balance the terms while truncating. This version does not generate that sampling artefact. Signed-off-by:

For now it just has operations to examine a given file, find its build-id and add or remove it to/from the cache. Useful, for instance, when adding binaries sent together with a perf.data file, so that we can add them to the cache and have the tools find it when resolving symbols. It'll also manage the size of the cache like 'ccache' does. Signed-off-by:

When a task gets scheduled in. We don't touch the cpu bound events so the priority order becomes: cpu pinned, cpu flexible, task pinned, task flexible. So schedule out cpu flexibles when a new task context gets in and correctly order the groups to schedule in: task pinned, cpu flexible, task flexible. Cpu pinned groups don't need to be touched at this time. Signed-off-by: -

getline() is considered as undeclared in util/util.c because it includes string.h, that in turn includes stdio.h, without having defined _GNU_SOURCE. But util.c also includes util.h that handles the _GNU_SOURCE and all the needed inclusions already. Let's include only util.h and sys/mman.h which is the only one header not handled by util.h This fixes the following build error: util/util.c: In function 'slow_copyfile': util/util.c:49: erreur: implicit declaration of function 'getline' util/util.c:49: erreur: nested extern declaration of 'getline' Signed-off-by:

Before scheduling an event group, we first check if a group can go on. We first check if the group is made of software only events first, in which case it is enough to know if the group can be scheduled in. For that purpose, we iterate through the whole group, which is wasteful as we could do this check when we add/delete an event to a group. So we create a group_flags field in perf event that can host characteristics from a group of events, starting with a first PERF_GROUP_SOFTWARE flag that reduces the check on the fast path.

Split-up struct perf_event_context::group_list into pinned_groups and flexible_groups (non-pinned). This first appears to be useless as it duplicates various loops around the group list handlings. But it scales better in the fast-path in perf_sched_in(). We don't anymore iterate twice through the entire list to separate pinned and non-pinned scheduling. Instead we interate through two distinct lists. The another desired effect is that it makes easier to define distinct scheduling rules on both. Changes in v2: - Respectively rename pinned_grp_list and volatile_grp_list into pinned_groups and flexible_groups as per Ingo suggestion. - Various cleanups Signed-off-by:

In the past 'perf record' had to process only userspace MMAP events, the ones generated in the kernel, but after we reused the MMAP events to encode the module mapings we ended up adding them first to the list of userspace DSOs (dsos__user) and to the kernel one (dsos__kernel). Fix this by encoding the header.misc field and then using it, like other parts to decide the right DSOs list to insert/find. The gotcha here is that since the kernel puts zero in .misc, which isn't PERF_RECORD_MISC_KERNEL (1 << 1), to differentiate, we put 1 in .misc. Signed-off-by:
