Add a new debug option "type-profile" to enable the detailed info during the type analysis especially for instruction tracking. You can use this before the command name like 'report' or 'annotate'. $ perf --debug type-profile annotate --data-type Committer testing: First get some memory events: $ perf mem record ls Then, without data-type profiling debug: $ perf annotate --data-type | head Annotate type: 'struct rtld_global' in /usr/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (1 samples): ============================================================================ samples offset size field 1 0 4336 struct rtld_global { 0 0 0 struct link_namespaces* _dl_ns; 0 2560 8 size_t _dl_nns; 0 2568 40 __rtld_lock_recursive_t _dl_load_lock { 0 2568 40 pthread_mutex_t mutex { 0 2568 40 struct __pthread_mutex_s __data { 0 2568 4 int __lock; $ And with only data-type profiling: $ perf --debug type-profile annotate --data-type | head ----------------------------------------------------------- find_data_type_die [1e67] for reg13873052 (PC) offset=0x150e2 in dl_main CU die offset: 0x29cd3 found PC-rel by addr=0x34020 offset=0x20 ----------------------------------------------------------- find_data_type_die [2e] for reg12 offset=0 in __GI___readdir64 CU die offset: 0x137a45 frame base: cfa=1 fbreg=-1 found "__futex" in scope=2/2 (die: 0x137ad5) 0(reg12) type=int (die:2a) ----------------------------------------------------------- find_data_type_die [52] for reg5 offset=0 in __memmove_avx_unaligned_erms CU die offset: 0x1124ed no variable found Annotate type: 'struct rtld_global' in /usr/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (1 samples): ============================================================================ samples offset size field 1 0 4336 struct rtld_global { 0 0 0 struct link_namespaces* _dl_ns; 0 2560 8 size_t _dl_nns; 0 2568 40 __rtld_lock_recursive_t _dl_load_lock { 0 2568 40 pthread_mutex_t mutex { 0 2568 40 struct __pthread_mutex_s __data { 0 2568 4 int __lock; $ Signed-off-by:Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Tested-by:

The annotate_get_basic_blocks() is to find a list of basic blocks from the source instruction to the destination instruction in a function. It'll be used to find variables in a scope. Use BFS (Breadth First Search) to find a shortest path to carry the variable/register state minimally. Also change find_disasm_line() to be used in annotate_get_basic_blocks() and add 'allow_update' argument to control if it can update the IP. Signed-off-by:

The die_find_func_rettype() is to find a debug entry for the given function name and sets the type information of the return value. By convention, it'd return the pointer to the type die (should be the same as the given mem_die argument) if found, or NULL otherwise. Signed-off-by:

We want to track type states as instructions are executed. Each instruction can access compound types like struct or union and load/ store its members to a different location. The die_deref_ptr_type() is to find a type of memory access with a pointer variable. If it points to a compound type like struct, the target memory is a member in the struct. The access will happen with an offset indicating which member it refers. Let's follow the DWARF info to figure out the type of the pointer target. For example, say we have the following code. struct foo { int a; int b; }; struct foo *p = malloc(sizeof(*p)); p->b = 0; The last pointer access should produce x86 asm like below: mov 0x0, 4(%rbx) And we know %rbx register has a pointer to struct foo. Then offset 4 should return the debug info of member 'b'. Also variables of compound types can be accessed directly without a pointer. The die_get_member_type() is to handle a such case.

Rather than iterate all CPUs and see if they are in CPU maps, directly iterate the CPU map. Similarly make use of the intersect function taking care for when "any" CPU is specified. Switch perf_cpu_map__has_any_cpu_or_is_empty() to more appropriate alternatives. Reviewed-by:

It seems that a previous modification to sysreg-defs, which corrected emitting the header to the specified output directory, exposed missing subdir, prefix variables. This breaks out of tree builds of perf as the file is now built into the output directory, but still tries to descend into output directory as a subdir.

If the --itrace option is used more than once, the options are combined, but "i" and "y" (sub-)options can be corrupted because itrace_do_parse_synth_opts() incorrectly overwrites the period type and period with default values. For example, with: --itrace=i0ns --itrace=e The processing of "--itrace=e", resets the "i" period from 0 nanoseconds to the default 100 microseconds. Fix by performing the default setting of period type and period only if "i" or "y" are present in the currently processed --itrace value.

These were used to build perf to provide defines not available in older distros, but this was back in 2017, nowadays most the distros that are supported and I have build containers for work using just the system headers, so ditch them. For the few that don't have STATX_MNT_ID{_UNIQUE}, or STATX_MNT_DIOALIGN add them conditionally. Some of these older distros may not have things that are used in 'perf trace', but then they also don't have libtraceevent packages, so don't build 'perf trace'.

The timerlat tracer provides an interface for any application to wait for the timerlat's periodic wakeup. Currently, rtla timerlat uses it to dispatch its user-space workload (-u option). But as the tracer interface is generic, rtla timerlat can also be used to monitor any workload that uses it. For example, a user might place their own workload to wait on the tracer interface, and monitor the results with rtla timerlat. Add the -U option to rtla timerlat top and hist. With this option, rtla timerlat will not dispatch its workload but only setting up the system, waiting for a user to dispatch its workload. The sample code in this patch is an example of python application that loops in the timerlat tracer fd. To use it, dispatch: # rtla timerlat -U In a terminal, then run the python program on another terminal, specifying the CPU to run it. For example, setting on CPU 1: #./timerlat_load.py 1 Then rtla timerlat will start printing the statistics of the ./timerlat_load.py app. An interesting point is that the "Ret user Timer Latency" value is the overall response time of the load. The sample load does a memory copy to exemplify that. The stop tracing options on rtla timerlat works in this setup as well, including auto analysis.

Use tools/build/ makefiles to build rtla, inheriting the benefits of it. For example, having a proper way to handle dependencies. rtla is built using perf infra-structure when building inside the kernel tree. At this point, rtla diverges from perf in two points: Documentation and tarball generation/build. At the documentation level, rtla is one step ahead, placing the documentation at Documentation/tools/rtla/, using the same build tools as kernel documentation. The idea is to move perf documentation to the same scheme and then share the same makefiles. rtla has a tarball target that the (old) RHEL8 uses. The tarball was kept using a simple standalone makefile for compatibility. The standalone makefile shares most of the code, e.g., flags, with regular buildings. The tarball method was set as deprecated. If necessary, we can make a rtla tarball like perf, which includes the entire tools/build. But this would also require changes in the user side (the directory structure changes, and probably the deps to build the package). Inspired on perf and objtool.
