perf inject can process instruction traces (using the --itrace option) which removes aux-related events and replaces them with the requested synthesized events. However there are still some leftovers, namely PERF_RECORD_ITRACE_START events and the original evsel (selected event) e.g. intel_pt// For the sake of completeness, remove them too. Signed-off-by:

Add a counterpart to perf_evlist__add() that does the opposite and deletes the evsel. This will be used by perf inject to remove unwanted evsels. Signed-off-by:

perf_evlist__id2evsel_strict() is the same as perf_evlist__id2evsel() except that it ensures that the id must match. This will be used by perf inject to find a specific evsel that is to be deleted, hence the need to match exactly. Signed-off-by:

perf script has a setting to set the maximum stack depth when processing callchains. The setting defaults to the hard-coded maximum definition PERF_MAX_STACK_DEPTH which is 127. It is possible, when processing instruction traces, to synthesize callchains. Synthesized callchains do not have the kernel size limitation and are whatever size the user requests, although validation presently prevents the user requested a value greater that 1024. The default value is 16. To allow for synthesized callchains, make the scripting_max_stack value at least the same size as the synthesized callchain size. Signed-off-by:

perf report has an option (--max-stack) to set the maximum stack depth when processing callchains. The option defaults to the hard-coded maximum definition PERF_MAX_STACK_DEPTH which is 127. The intention of the option is to allow the user to reduce the processing time by reducing the amount of the callchain that is processed. It is also possible, when processing instruction traces, to synthesize callchains. Synthesized callchains do not have the kernel size limitation and are whatever size the user requests, although validation presently prevents the user requested a value greater that 1024. The default value is 16. To allow for synthesized callchains, make the max_stack value at least the same size as the synthesized callchain size. Signed-off-by:

Add support for generating branch stack context for PT samples. The decoder reports a configurable number of branches as branch context for each sample. Internally it keeps track of them by using a simple sliding window. We also flush the last branch buffer on each sample to avoid overlapping intervals. This is useful for: - Reporting accurate basic block edge frequencies through the perf report branch view - Using with --branch-history to get the wider context of samples - Other users of LBRs Also the Documentation is updated. Examples: Record with Intel PT: perf record -e intel_pt//u ls Branch stacks are used by default if synthesized so: perf report --itrace=ile is the same as: perf report --itrace=ile -b Branch history can be requested also: perf report --itrace=igle --branch-history Based-on-patch-by:

intel_pt_synth_branch_sample() skips synthesizing if the branch does not match the branch filter. That logic was sitting in the middle of the function but is more efficiently placed at the start of the function, so move it. Signed-off-by:

The branch stack feature flag is set by 'perf record' when recording data that contains branch stacks. Consequently, when 'perf inject' synthesizes branch stacks, the feature flag should be set also. Signed-off-by:

A non-synthesized event might not have a branch stack if branch stacks have been synthesized (using itrace options). An example of that is when Intel PT records sched_switch events for decoding purposes. Those sched_switch events do not have branch stacks even though the Intel PT decoder may be synthesizing other events that do due to the itrace options. Signed-off-by:

Adrian Hunter authored
perf report looks at event sample types to determine if branch stacks have been sampled. Adjust the validation to know about instruction tracing options. This change allows the use of the -b option which otherwise would complain with an error like: Error: Selected -b but no branch data. Did you call perf record without -b? # To display the perf.data header info, # please use --header/--header-only options. # Signed-off-by:

TSC packets contain only 7 bytes of TSC. The 8th byte is assumed to change so infrequently that its value can be inferred. However the logic must cater for a 7 byte wraparound, which it does by adding 1 to the top byte. The existing code was doing that with a while loop even though the addition should only need to be done once. That logic won't work (will loop forever) if TSC wraps around at the 8th byte. Theoretically that would take at least 10 years, unless something else went wrong. And what else could go wrong. Well, if the chunks of trace data are processed out of order, it will make it look like the 7-byte TSC has gone backwards (i.e. wrapped). If that happens 256 times then stuck in the while loop it will be. Fix that by getting rid of the unnecessary while loop. Signed-off-by:

Processing instruction tracing data (e.g. Intel PT) can synthesize callchains e.g. $ perf record -e intel_pt//u uname $ perf report --stdio --itrace=ige However perf report's callgraph option gets extra validation, so: $ perf report --stdio --itrace=ige -gflat Error: Selected -g or --branch-history but no callchain data. Did you call 'perf record' without -g? # To display the perf.data header info, # please use --header/--header-only options. # Fix the validation to know about instruction tracing options so above command works. A side-effect of the change is that the default option to accumulate the callchain of child functions comes into force. To get the previous behaviour the --no-children option can be used e.g. $ perf report --stdio --itrace=ige -gflat --no-children Signed-off-by: -

Instruction tracing options (i.e. --itrace) include an option for sampling instructions at an arbitrary period. e.g. --itrace=i10us means make an 'instructions' sample for every 10us of trace. Currently the logic does not distinguish between a period of zero and no period being specified at all, so it gets treated as the default period which is 100000. That doesn't really make sense. Fix it so that zero period is accepted and treated as meaning "as often as possible". In the case of Intel PT that is the same as a period of 1 and a unit of 'instructions' (i.e. --itrace=i1i).

For dependency tracking we currently use targets that fall out of the gcc -MD command. We store this info in the .cmd file and include as makefile during the build. This format put object as target and all the c and header files as dependencies, like: util/abspath.o: util/abspath.c /usr/include/stdc-predef.h util/cache.h \ /usr/include/bits/wordsize.h /usr/include/gnu/stubs.h \ ... If any of those dependency header files (krava.h below) is removed the build fails on: make[1]: *** No rule to make target 'krava.h', needed by 'inc.o'. Stop. This patch adds fixdep helper, that is used by kbuild to alter the shape of the object dependencies like: source_util/abspath.o := util/abspath.c deps_util/abspath.o := \ /usr/include/stdc-predef.h \ util/cache.h \ ... util/abspath.o: $(deps_util/abspath.o) $(deps_util/abspath.o): With this format the header removal won't make the build fail, because it'll be picked up by the last empty target defined for each header. As previously mentioned the fixdep tool is taken from kbuild. It's not complete backport, only the part that alters the standard dependency info was taken, the part that adds the CONFIG_* dependency logic will be probably taken later on. Signed-off-by: -

The current build framework fails to cope with header file removal. The reason is that the removed header file stays in the .cmd file target rule and forces the build to fail.

Storing the actual tracing path mountpoint to display correct error message hint ('Hint:' line). The error hint rediscovers mountpoints, but it could be different from what we actually used in tracing path.

After this change, correct mountpoint is displayed: $ perf record -e sched:sched_krava ls event syntax error: 'sched:sched_krava' \___ can't access trace events Error: No permissions to read /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_krava Hint: Try 'sudo mount -o remount,mode=755 /sys/kernel/debug/tracing' ...

MAARs should be initialised on each CPU (or rather, core) in the system in order to achieve consistent behaviour & performance. Previously they have only been initialised on the boot CPU which leads to performance problems if tasks are later scheduled on a secondary CPU, particularly if those tasks make use of unaligned vector accesses where some CPUs don't handle any cases in hardware for non-speculative memory regions. Fix this by recording the MAAR configuration from the boot CPU and applying it to secondary CPUs as part of their bringup. Reported-by:
