We need to know how many fds are using a perf mmap via PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT, so that we can know when to ditch an mmap, refcount it. v2: Automatically unmap it when the refcount hits one, which will happen when all fds are filtered by perf_evlist__filter_pollfd(), in later patches.

The extensible file description array that grew in the perf_evlist class can be useful for other tools, as it is not something that only evlists need, so move it to tools/lib/api/fd to ease sharing it. v2: Don't use {} like in: libapi_dirs: $(QUIET_MKDIR)mkdir -p $(OUTPUT){fs,fd}/ in Makefiles, as it will not work in some systems, as in ubuntu13.10. v3: Add fd/*.[ch] to LIBAPIKFS_SOURCES (Fix from Jiri Olsa) v4: Leave the fcntl(fd, O_NONBLOCK) in the evlist layer, remains to be checked if it is really needed there, but has no place in the fdarray class (Fix from Jiri Olsa) v5: Remove evlist details from fdarray grow/filter tests. Improve it a bit doing more tests about expected internal state.

Since we can add file descriptors to the evlist pollfd and it will autogrow, no need to copy all events to a local pollfd array, just add the timer and stdin file descriptors. Reviewed-by:

This way we will be able to add more file descriptors to be polled, like stdin or some timer fd. At this point we might as well yank the pollfd class from evlist so that it can be used in other places.

Because we want to notice when they get POLLHUP'ed, so that we can figure out when all threads exited in a workload being monitored. We can't just monitor the fds that were mmaped, we need to notice when all the fds that were PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT'ed too, because the mmap stays even after the fd that originally was used to do the mmap call went away, its only when all the set-output fds for a mmap are gone that the mmap is.

We want to know when the fd went away, like when a monitored thread exits. If we do not monitor such events, then the tools will wait forever on events from a vanished thread, like when running: $ sleep 5s & $ perf record -p `pidof sleep` This builds upon the kernel patch by Jiri Olsa that actually makes a poll on those file descriptors to return POLLHUP. It is also needed to change the tools to use perf_evlist__filter_pollfd() to check if there are remainings fds to monitor or if all are gone, in which case they will exit the poll/mmap/read loop.

To remove all entries in evlist->pollfd[] that have revents matching at least one of the bits in the specified mask. It'll adjust evlist->nr_fds to the number of unfiltered fds and will return this value, as a convenience and to avoid requiring direct access to internal state of perf_evlist objects. This will be used after polling the evlist fds so that we remove fds that were closed by the kernel. Acked-by:

This patch restructures the memory controller (IMC) uncore PMU support for client SNB/IVB/HSW processors. The main change is that it can now cope with more than one PCI device ID per processor model. There are many flavors of memory controllers for each processor. They have different PCI device ID, yet they behave the same w.r.t. the memory controller PMU that we are interested in. The patch now supports two distinct memory controllers for IVB processors: one for mobile, one for desktop. Signed-off-by:

The IvyBridge-EP uncore driver was missing three filter flags: NC, ISOC, C6 which are useful in some cases. Support them in the same way as the Haswell EP driver, by allowing to set them and exposing them in the sysfs formats. Also fix a typo in a define. Relies on the Haswell EP driver to be applied earlier. Signed-off-by:

Use the newly added Broadwell cache event list for Haswell too. All Haswell and Broadwell events and offcore masks used in these lists are identical. However Haswell is very different from the Sandy Bridge list that was used previously. That fixes a wide range of mis-counting cache events. The node events are now only for retired memory events, so prefetching and speculative memory accesses are not included. They are PEBS capable now, which makes it much easier to sample for them, plus it's possible to create address maps with -d. The prefetch events are gone now. They way the hardware counts them is very misleading (some prefetches included, others not), so it seemed best to leave them out. Signed-off-by:

On Broadwell INST_RETIRED.ALL cannot be used with any period that doesn't have the lowest 6 bits cleared. And the period should not be smaller than 128. Add a new callback to enforce this, and set it for Broadwell. This is erratum BDM57 and BDM11. How does this handle the case when an app requests a specific period with some of the bottom bits set The apps thinks it is sampling at X occurences per sample, when it is in fact at X - 63 (worst case). Short answer: Any useful instruction sampling period needs to be 4-6 orders of magnitude larger than 128, as an PMI every 128 instructions would instantly overwhelm the system and be throttled. So the +-64 error from this is really small compared to the period, much smaller than normal system jitter. Long answer: <write up by Peter:> IFF we guarantee perf_event_attr::sample_period >= 128. Suppose we start out with sample_period=192; then we'll set period_left to 192, we'll end up with left = 128 (we truncate the lower bits). We get an interrupt, find that period_left = 64 (>0 so we return 0 and don't get an overflow handler), up that to 128. Then we trigger again, at n=256. Then we find period_left = -64 (<=0 so we return 1 and do get an overflow). We increment with sample_period so we get left = 128. We fire again, at n=384, period_left = 0 (<=0 so we return 1 and get an overflow). And on and on. So while the individual interrupts are 'wrong' we get then with interval=256,128 in exactly the right ratio to average out at 192. And this works for everything >=128. So the num_samples*fixed_period thing is still entirely correct +- 127, which is good enough I'd say, as you already have that error anyhow. So no need to 'fix' the tools, al we need to do is refuse to create INST_RETIRED:ALL events with sample_period < 128. Signed-off-by:

Add Broadwell support for Broadwell Client to perf. This is very similar to Haswell. It uses a new cache event table, because there were various changes there. The constraint list has one new event that needs to be handled over Haswell. The PEBS event list is the same, so we reuse Haswell's.

71 is a Broadwell, not a Haswell. The model number was added by mistake earlier. Remove it for now, until it can be re-added later with real Broadwell support. In practice it does not cause a lot of issues because the Broadwell PMU is very similar to Haswell, but some details were wrong, and it's better to handle it correctly. Signed-off-by:

This reverts commit 1f9a7268. With the fix of the initial state for the cloned event we now correctly handle the error described in: 1f9a7268 perf: Do not allow optimized switch for non-cloned events so we can revert it. I made an automated test for this, but its not suitable for automated perf tests framework. It needs to be customized for each machine (the more cpu the higher numbers for GROUPS/WORKERS/BYTES) and it could take longer time to hit the issue. Signed-off-by:

Currently we return POLLHUP in event polling if the monitored process is done, but we didn't consider possible children, that might be still running and producing data. Before returning POLLHUP making sure that: 1) the monitored task has exited and that 2) we don't have any children to monitor Also adding parent wakeup when the child event is gone. Suggested-by:

This allows default config terms to be provided for a PMU. So, for example, when the Intel PT PMU is added, it will be possible to specify: intel_pt// which will be the same as: intel_pt/tsc=1,noretcomp=0/ meaning that the trace should contain TSC timestamps and perform 'return compression'. An important consideration of this patch is that it must be possible to overwrite the default values. That has meant changing the logic so that a zero value can replace a non-zero value.

Decoding an Intel PT trace of the kernel requires an accurate kernel object image. This is provided by making a copy of kcore. However the copy needs to be made under the same conditions as the original recording, and then it needs to be associated with the perf.data file. The perf-with-kcore script does that. The script also checks the permissions on the buildid cache and can be used to fix them. That is needed for distributions where root does not have a home directory and consequently writes to the same buildid cache as the user, resulting in cached files that the user does not have access to. Example: $ ./perf-with-kcore Usage: perf-with-kcore <perf sub-command> <perf.data directory> [<sub-command options> [ -- <workload>]] <perf sub-command> can be record, script, report or inject or: perf-with-kcore fix_buildid_cache_permissions $ ./perf-with-kcore record pt_uname -e intel_pt// -- uname Recording Using /home/ahunter/bin/perf perf version 3.15.rc3.g4549ba /home/ahunter/bin/perf record -o pt_uname/perf.data -e intel_pt// -- uname Linux [ perf record: Woken up 3 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.023 MB pt_uname/perf.data ] Copying kcore [sudo] password for ahunter: Done $ tools/perf/perf-with-kcore.sh script pt_uname | head Using /home/ahunter/bin/perf perf version 3.15.rc3.g4549ba /home/ahunter/bin/perf script -i pt_uname/perf.data --kallsyms=pt_uname/kcore_dir/kallsyms swapper 0 [002] 161533.969666: sched:sched_switch: swapper/2:0 [120] R ==> perf:11316 [120] :11315 11315 [003] 161533.969704: sched:sched_switch: perf:11315 [120] S ==> swapper/3:0 [120] :11316 11316 [002] 161533.969783: sched:sched_switch: perf:11316 [120] R ==> migration/2:33 [0] :33 33 [002] 161533.969791: sched:sched_switch: migration/2:33 [0] S ==> swapper/2:0 [120] swapper 0 [003] 161533.969792: sched:sched_switch: swapper/3:0 [120] R ==> perf:11316 [120] :11316 11316 [003] 161533.970062: branches: 0 [unknown] ([unknown]) => ffffffff810532fa native_write_msr_safe ([kernel.kallsyms]) :11316 11316 [003] 161533.970062: branches: ffffffff810532fd native_write_msr_safe ([kernel.kallsyms]) => ffffffff81035b31 pt_config_start ([kernel.kallsyms]) Signed-off-by: -

This enables a PMU event to be specified in the form: pmu// which is effectively the same as: pmu/config=0/ This patch is a precursor to defining default config for a PMU. Further explanation extracted from lkml thread: Imagine that the 'tsc' term did not exist. Intel PT trace data would not contain TSC packets, and the decoder would not know how to decode them. Then imagine that a new version of the hardware adds 'tsc'. It is such a useful feature that we want it by default, but older versions of the tools don't know how to decode it, so the kernel cannot turn it on by default. It is similar to why the kernel does not select perf_event_attr.mmap2 by default. The kernel doesn't know whether the tool supports it. Signed-off-by:

We need a way to specify $(lib) part of the installation path for traceevent plugin libraries. Currently we use 'lib64' for x86_64 and 'lib' otherwise. Instead of listing all possible values, this change allows the rpm spec code to specify the correct $(lib) part based on processed architecture, like $ make ... lib=%{_lib} Signed-off-by:Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Corey Ashford <cjashfor@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1408978552-17131-1-git-send-email-jolsa@kernel.orgSigned-off-by:

The 'live' command prints additional information to the "Analyze events for " title bar about the current target. Let's print the same title for the 'report' command. Signed-off-by:
