Although perf depends on the libtraceevent, it cannot know when it needs to be rebuilt. So just try to rebuild it always in order to make sure we use the latest version. While at it, silence annoying directory change messages.

David Ahern authored
764e16a changed perf-record to create events disabled by default and enable them once perf initializations are done. This setting was dropped by 0f82ebc4. Now perf events are once again generated during perf's initialization phase (e.g., generating maps). As an example, perf opens a lot of files at startup. Unpatched: perf record -e syscalls:sys_enter_open -ga -fo /tmp/perf.data -- sleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.087 MB /tmp/perf.data (~3798 samples) ] Using perf-script to look at the samples shows the perf command generating 563 of the 566 total events. Patched: perf record -e syscalls:sys_enter_open -ga -fo /tmp/perf.data -- sleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.028 MB /tmp/perf.data (~1206 samples) ] Using perf-script to look at the samples does not show perf command.

The callchain address is stored as u64. Current code uses following format string to display callchain address: "%p\n", (void *)(long)chain->ip This way we lose upper 32 bits if we report 64 bit addresses in 32 bit environment. Fixing this to always display whole 64 bits. Note, running following to test perf endianity handling: test 1) - origin system: # perf record -a -- sleep 10 (any perf record will do) # perf report > report.origin # perf archive perf.data - copy the perf.data, report.origin and perf.data.tar.bz2 to a target system and run: # tar xjvf perf.data.tar.bz2 -C ~/.debug # perf report > report.target # diff -u report.origin report.target - the diff should produce no output (besides some white space stuff and possibly different date/TZ output) test 2) - origin system: # perf record -ag -fo /tmp/perf.data -- sleep 1 - mount origin system root to the target system on /mnt/origin - target system: # perf script --symfs /mnt/origin -I -i /mnt/origin/tmp/perf.data \ --kallsyms /mnt/origin/proc/kallsyms - complete perf.data header is displayed Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Corey Ashford <cjashfor@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1337151548-2396-8-git-send-email-jolsa@redhat.comSigned-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

The function tracer will enable the -pg option with gcc, which requires that frame pointers. When FRAME_POINTER is defined in the kernel config it adds the gcc option -fno-omit-frame-pointer which causes some problems on some architectures. For those architectures, the FRAME_POINTER select was not set. When FUNCTION_TRACER was selected on these architectures that can not have -fno-omit-frame-pointer, the -pg option is still set. But when FRAME_POINTER is not selected, the kernel config would add the gcc option -fomit-frame-pointer. Adding this option is incompatible with -pg even on archs that do not need frame pointers with -pg. The answer to this was to just not add either -fno-omit-frame-pointer or -fomit-frame-pointer on these archs that want function tracing but do not set FRAME_POINTER. As it turns out, for archs that require frame pointers for function tracing, the same can be used. If gcc requires frame pointers with -pg, it will simply add it. The best thing to do is not select FRAME_POINTER when function tracing is selected, and let gcc add it if needed. Only add the -fno-omit-frame-pointer when something else selects FRAME_POINTER, but do not add -fomit-frame-pointer if function tracing is selected.

Rename __ftrace_modify_code() to ftrace_modify_all_code() and make it global for all archs to use.

ftrace_location() is passed an addr, and returns 1 if the addr is on a ftrace nop (or caller to ftrace_caller), and 0 otherwise. To let kprobes know if it should move a breakpoint or not, it must return the actual addr that is the start of the ftrace nop. This way a kprobe placed on the location of a ftrace nop, can instead be placed on the instruction after the nop. Even if the probe addr is on the second or later byte of the nop, it can simply be moved forward.

Both ftrace_location() and ftrace_text_reserved() do basically the same thing. They search to see if an address is in the ftace table (contains an address that may change from nop to call ftrace_caller). The difference is that ftrace_location() searches a single address, but ftrace_text_reserved() searches a range. This also makes the ftrace_text_reserved() faster as it now uses a bsearch() instead of linearly searching all the addresses within a page.

As all records in a page of the ftrace table are sorted, we can speed up the search algorithm by checking if the address to look for falls in between the first and last record ip on the page. This speeds up both the ftrace_location() and ftrace_text_reserved() algorithms, as it can skip full pages when the search address is not in them.

When the ring buffer does its consistency test on itself, it removes the head page, runs the tests, and then adds it back to what the "head_page" pointer was. But because the head_page pointer may lack behind the real head page (held by the link list pointer). The reset may be incorrect. Instead, if the head_page exists (it does not on first allocation) reset it back to the real head page before running the consistency tests. Then it will be put back to its original location after the tests are complete. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

There use to be ring buffer integrity checks after updating the size of the ring buffer. But now that the ring buffer can modify the size while the system is running, the integrity checks were removed, as they require the ring buffer to be disabed to perform the check. Move the integrity check to the reading of the ring buffer via the iterator reads (the "trace" file). As reading via an iterator requires disabling the ring buffer, it is a perfect place to have it. If the ring buffer happens to be disabled when updating the size, we still perform the integrity check.

This patch adds the capability to add new pages to a ring buffer atomically while write operations are going on. This makes it possible to expand the ring buffer size without reinitializing the ring buffer. The new pages are attached between the head page and its previous page.

This patch adds the capability to remove pages from a ring buffer without destroying any existing data in it. This is done by removing the pages after the tail page. This makes sure that first all the empty pages in the ring buffer are removed. If the head page is one in the list of pages to be removed, then the page after the removed ones is made the head page. This removes the oldest data from the ring buffer and keeps the latest data around to be read. To do this in a non-racey manner, tracing is stopped for a very short time while the pages to be removed are identified and unlinked from the ring buffer. The pages are freed after the tracing is restarted to minimize the time needed to stop tracing. The context in which the pages from the per-cpu ring buffer are removed runs on the respective CPU. This minimizes the events not traced to only NMI trace contexts.

On gcc 4.5 the function tracing_mark_write() would give a warning of page2 being uninitialized. This is due to a bug in gcc because the logic prevents page2 from being used uninitialized, and gcc 4.6+ does not complain (correctly). Instead of adding a "unitialized" around page2, which could show a bug later on, I combined page1 and page2 into an array map_pages[]. This binds the two and the two are modified according to nr_pages (what gcc 4.5 seems to ignore). This no longer gives a warning with gcc 4.5 nor with gcc 4.6.

The commit 55261f46 ("perf evlist: Fix creation of cpu map") changed to create a per-task event when no cpu target is specified. However it caused a problem since perf-task do not allow event inheritance due to scalability issues so that the result will contain samples only from parent, not from its children. So we should use perf-task-per-cpu events anyway to get the right result. Revert it.

Rename perf_target__no_{cpu,task} to perf_target__has_{cpu,task} because it's more intuitive and easy to parse (for human beings) when used with negation. The names are came out from David Ahern. It is intended to be a mechanical substitution without any functional change. The perf_target__none remains unchanged since I couldn't find a right name and it is hardly used with negation.
