This patch introduces bpf__{un,}probe() functions to enable callers to create kprobe points based on section names a BPF program. It parses the section names in the program and creates corresponding 'struct perf_probe_event' structures. The parse_perf_probe_command() function is used to do the main parsing work. The resuling 'struct perf_probe_event' is stored into program private data for further using. By utilizing the new probing API, this patch creates probe points during event parsing. To ensure probe points be removed correctly, register an atexit hook so even perf quit through exit() bpf__clear() is still called, so probing points are cleared. Note that bpf_clear() should be registered before bpf__probe() is called, so failure of bpf__probe() can still trigger bpf__clear() to remove probe points which are already probed. strerror style error reporting scaffold is created by this patch. bpf__strerror_probe() is the first error reporting function in bpf-loader.c.

By introducing new rules in tools/perf/util/parse-events.[ly], this patch enables 'perf record --event bpf_file.o' to select events by an eBPF object file. It calls parse_events_load_bpf() to load that file, which uses bpf__prepare_load() and finally calls bpf_object__open() for the object files. After applying this patch, commands like: # perf record --event foo.o sleep become possible. However, at this point it is unable to link any useful things onto the evsel list because the creating of probe points and BPF program attaching have not been implemented. Before real events are possible to be extracted, to avoid perf report error because of empty evsel list, this patch link a dummy evsel. The dummy event related code will be removed when probing and extracting code is ready. Commiter notes: Using it: $ ls -la foo.o ls: cannot access foo.o: No such file or directory $ perf record --event foo.o sleep libbpf: failed to open foo.o: No such file or directory event syntax error: 'foo.o' \___ BPF object file 'foo.o' is invalid (add -v to see detail) Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events Usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>] or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>] -e, --event <event> event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events $ $ file /tmp/build/perf/perf.o /tmp/build/perf/perf.o: ELF 64-bit LSB relocatable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped $ perf record --event /tmp/build/perf/perf.o sleep libbpf: /tmp/build/perf/perf.o is not an eBPF object file event syntax error: '/tmp/build/perf/perf.o' \___ BPF object file '/tmp/build/perf/perf.o' is invalid (add -v to see detail) Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events Usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>] or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>] -e, --event <event> event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events $ $ file /tmp/foo.o /tmp/foo.o: ELF 64-bit LSB relocatable, no machine, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped $ perf record --event /tmp/foo.o sleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.013 MB perf.data ] $ perf evlist /tmp/foo.o $ perf evlist -v /tmp/foo.o: type: 1, size: 112, config: 0x9, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|PERIOD, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, enable_on_exec: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1 $ So, type 1 is PERF_TYPE_SOFTWARE, config 0x9 is PERF_COUNT_SW_DUMMY, ok. $ perf report --stdio Error: The perf.data file has no samples! # To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options. # $ Signed-off-by: -

By adding libbpf into perf's Makefile, this patch enables perf to build libbpf if libelf is found and neither NO_LIBELF nor NO_LIBBPF is set. The newly introduced code is similar to how libapi and libtraceevent are wired into Makefile.perf. MANIFEST is also updated for 'make perf-*-src-pkg'. Append make_no_libbpf to tools/perf/tests/make. The 'bpf' feature check is appended into default FEATURE_TESTS and FEATURE_DISPLAY, so perf will check the API version of bpf in /path/to/kernel/include/uapi/linux/bpf.h. Which should not fail except when we are trying to port this code to an old kernel. Error messages are also updated to notify users about the lack of BPF support in 'perf record' if libelf is missing or the BPF API check failed. tools/lib/bpf is added to TAG_FOLDERS to allow us to navigate libbpf files when working on perf using tools/perf/tags.

Currently we split symbols based on the map comparison, but symbols are stored within dso objects and maps could point into same dso objects (kernel maps). Hence we could end up changing rbtree we are currently iterating and mess it up. It's easily reproduced on s390x by running: $ perf record -a -- sleep 3 $ perf buildid-list -i perf.data --with-hits The fix is to compare dso objects instead. Reported-by:

This patch allows perf record setting event's attr.inherit bit by config terms like: # perf record -e cycles/no-inherit/ ... # perf record -e cycles/inherit/ ... So user can control inherit bit for each event separately. In following example, a.out fork()s in main then do some complex CPU intensive computations in both of its children. Basic result with and without inherit: # perf record -e cycles -e instructions ./a.out [ perf record: Woken up 9 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 2.205 MB perf.data (47920 samples) ] # perf report --stdio # ... # Samples: 23K of event 'cycles' # Event count (approx.): 23641752891 ... # Samples: 24K of event 'instructions' # Event count (approx.): 30428312415 # perf record -i -e cycles -e instructions ./a.out [ perf record: Woken up 5 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.111 MB perf.data (24019 samples) ] ... # Samples: 12K of event 'cycles' # Event count (approx.): 11699501775 ... # Samples: 12K of event 'instructions' # Event count (approx.): 15058023559 Cancel inherit for one event when globally enable: # perf record -e cycles/no-inherit/ -e instructions ./a.out [ perf record: Woken up 7 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.660 MB perf.data (36004 samples) ] ... # Samples: 12K of event 'cycles/no-inherit/' # Event count (approx.): 11895759282 ... # Samples: 24K of event 'instructions' # Event count (approx.): 30668000441 Enable inherit for one event when globally disable: # perf record -i -e cycles/inherit/ -e instructions ./a.out [ perf record: Woken up 7 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.654 MB perf.data (35868 samples) ] ... # Samples: 23K of event 'cycles/inherit/' # Event count (approx.): 23285400229 ... # Samples: 11K of event 'instructions' # Event count (approx.): 14969050259 Committer note: One can check if the bit was set, in addition to seeing the result in the perf.data file size as above by doing one of: # perf record -e cycles -e instructions -a usleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.911 MB perf.data (63 samples) ] # perf evlist -v cycles: size: 112, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1 instructions: size: 112, config: 0x1, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, freq: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1 # So, the inherit bit was set in both, now, if we disable it globally using --no-inherit: # perf record --no-inherit -e cycles -e instructions -a usleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.910 MB perf.data (56 samples) ] # perf evlist -v cycles: size: 112, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1 instructions: size: 112, config: 0x1, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, freq: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1 No inherit bit set, then disabling it and setting just on the cycles event: # perf record --no-inherit -e cycles/inherit/ -e instructions -a usleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.909 MB perf.data (48 samples) ] # perf evlist -v cycles/inherit/: size: 112, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1 instructions: size: 112, config: 0x1, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, freq: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1 # We can see it as well in by using a more verbose level of debug messages in the tool that sets up the perf_event_attr, 'perf record' in this case: [root@zoo ~]# perf record -vv --no-inherit -e cycles/inherit/ -e instructions -a usleep 1 ------------------------------------------------------------ perf_event_attr: size 112 { sample_period, sample_freq } 4000 sample_type IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD read_format ID disabled 1 inherit 1 mmap 1 comm 1 freq 1 task 1 sample_id_all 1 exclude_guest 1 mmap2 1 comm_exec 1 ------------------------------------------------------------ sys_perf_event_open: pid -1 cpu 0 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 sys_perf_event_open: pid -1 cpu 1 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 sys_perf_event_open: pid -1 cpu 2 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 sys_perf_event_open: pid -1 cpu 3 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 ------------------------------------------------------------ perf_event_attr: size 112 config 0x1 { sample_period, sample_freq } 4000 sample_type IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD read_format ID disabled 1 freq 1 sample_id_all 1 exclude_guest 1 ------------------------------------------------------------ sys_perf_event_open: pid -1 cpu 0 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 <SNIP> Signed-off-by: -

Recent GDB (at least on a vanilla Debian box) looks for debug information in /usr/lib/debug/.build-id/nn/nnnnnnn where nn/nnnnnn is the build-id of the stripped ELF binary. This is documented here: https://sourceware.org/gdb/onlinedocs/gdb/Separate-Debug-Files.html This was not working in perf because we didn't read the build id until AFTER we searched for the separate debug information file. This patch reads the build ID and THEN does the search. Signed-off-by:

The perf_config() infrastructure we inherited from git calls die() when the provided config callback returns -1, meaning some key in a config section is unexpected, that seems ok for a stdio based tool, but in --tui we end up messing up the output, so just tell the user about the error, wait for a keystroke and return 0, being more resilient and proceeding with what we managed to parse.

Now perf top will show help like below: $ perf top --call-graph Error: option `call-graph' requires a value Usage: perf top [<options>] --call-graph <record_mode[,record_size],print_type,threshold[,print_limit],order,sort_key[,branch]> setup and enables call-graph (stack chain/backtrace): record_mode: call graph recording mode (fp|dwarf|lbr) record_size: if record_mode is 'dwarf', max size of stack recording (<bytes>) default: 8192 (bytes) print_type: call graph printing style (graph|flat|fractal|none) threshold: minimum call graph inclusion threshold (<percent>) print_limit: maximum number of call graph entry (<number>) order: call graph order (caller|callee) sort_key: call graph sort key (function|address) branch: include last branch info to call graph (branch) Default: fp,graph,0.5,caller,function Requested-by:Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de> Cc: Brendan Gregg <brendan.d.gregg@gmail.com> Cc: Chandler Carruth <chandlerc@gmail.com> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Cc: Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1445524112-5201-2-git-send-email-namhyung@kernel.orgSigned-off-by:

The caller callchain order is useful with --children option since it can show 'overview' style output, but other commands which don't use --children feature like 'perf script' or even 'perf report/top' without --children are better to keep callee order. Signed-off-by:

Currently 'perf top --call-graph' option is same as 'perf record'. But 'perf top' also need to receive display options in 'perf report'. To do that, change parse_callchain_report_opt() to allow record options too. Now perf top can receive display options like below: $ perf top --call-graph Error: option `call-graph' requires a value Usage: perf top [<options>] --call-graph <mode[,dump_size],output_type,min_percent[,print_limit],call_order[,branch]> setup and enables call-graph (stack chain/backtrace) recording: fp dwarf lbr, output_type (graph, flat, fractal, or none), min percent threshold, optional print limit, callchain order, key (function or address), add branches $ perf top --call-graph callee,graph,fp Signed-off-by: -

Commits such as 65dd297a ("xfs: %pF is only for function pointers") caused a regression because pretty_print() didn't support %ps/%pS. The current %pf/%pF implementation in pretty_print() is what %ps/%pS is supposed to do, so use the same code for %ps/%pS. Addressing the incorrect %pf/%pF implementation is beyond the scope of this patch. Signed-off-by:

Perf will core dump if --per-socket/core -a are applied for perf stat. The root cause is that cpu_map__build_map set refcnt of evlist's cpu_map to 1. It should set refcnt for the newly created cpu_map, not evlist's cpu_map. Here is the example: # perf stat -e cycles --per-socket -a sleep 1 Performance counter stats for 'system wide': S0 36 30,196,257 cycles S1 28 15,823,536 cycles 1.001126828 seconds time elapsed *** Error in `./perf': corrupted double-linked list: 0x00000000021f9090 *** ======= Backtrace: ========= /lib64/libc.so.6[0x3002e7bbe7] /lib64/libc.so.6[0x3002e7d2b5] ./perf(perf_evsel__delete+0x28)[0x485bdd] ./perf[0x4800e8] ./perf(perf_evlist__delete+0x5e)[0x482cd5] ./perf(cmd_stat+0xf25)[0x432328] ./perf[0x4768e0] ./perf[0x476ad6] ./perf[0x476b41] ./perf(main+0x1d0)[0x476db2] /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf5)[0x3002e21b45] ./perf[0x4202c5] Signed-off-by: -

This patch add a new branch type sampling filter to perf record. It is named 'call' and maps to PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_CALL. It samples direct call branches only, unlike 'any_call' which includes indirect calls as well. $ perf record -j call -e cycles ..... The man page is updated accordingly. Signed-off-by:

This patch enables the suport for the PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_CALL for Intel x86 processors. When the processor support LBR filtering this the selection is done in hardware. Otherwise, the filter is applied by software. Note that we chose to include zero length calls because they also represent calls. Signed-off-by:

Add a new branch sample type to cover only call branches (function calls). The current ANY_CALL included direct, indirect calls and far jumps. We want to be able to differentiate indirect from direct calls. Therefore we introduce PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_CALL. The implementation is up to each architecture. Signed-off-by:

Commit: b20112ed ("perf/x86: Improve accuracy of perf/sched clock") allowed the time_shift value in perf_event_mmap_page to be as much as 32. Unfortunately the documented algorithms for using time_shift have it shifting an integer, whereas to work correctly with the value 32, the type must be u64. In the case of perf tools, Intel PT decodes correctly but the timestamps that are output (for example by perf script) have lost 32-bits of granularity so they look like they are not changing at all. Fix by limiting the shift to 31 and adjusting the multiplier accordingly. Also update the documentation of perf_event_mmap_page so that new code based on it will be more future-proof. Signed-off-by:
