So that it can be set properly prior to set up output fields. That makes easy to handle/warn errors during the setup since it doesn't need to be bothered with the GUI.

The perf uses different default sort orders for different use-cases, and this was scattered throughout the code. Add get_default_sort_ order() function to handle this and change initial value of sort_order to NULL to distinguish it from user-given one.

Until now the hpp and sort functions do similar jobs different ways. Since the sort functions converted/wrapped to hpp formats it can do the job in a uniform way. The perf_hpp__sort_list has a list of hpp formats to sort entries and the perf_hpp__list has a list of hpp formats to print output result. To have a backward compatibility, it automatically adds 'overhead' field in front of sort list. And then all of fields in sort list added to the output list (if it's not already there).

This patch fixes a bug in precise_store_data_hsw() whereby it would set the data source memory level to the wrong value. As per the the SDM Vol 3b Table 18-41 (Layout of Data Linear Address Information in PEBS Record), when status bit 0 is set this is a L1 hit, otherwise this is a L1 miss. This patch encodes the memory level according to the specification. In V2, we added the filtering on the store events. Only the following events produce L1 information: * MEM_UOPS_RETIRED.STLB_MISS_STORES * MEM_UOPS_RETIRED.LOCK_STORES * MEM_UOPS_RETIRED.SPLIT_STORES * MEM_UOPS_RETIRED.ALL_STORES Cc: mingo@elte.hu Cc: acme@ghostprotocols.net Cc: jolsa@redhat.com Cc: jmario@redhat.com Cc: ak@linux.intel.com Tested-and-Reviewed-by: Don Zickus <dzickus@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20140515155644.GA3884@quadSigned-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

Vince noticed that we test the (unsigned long) flags field against an (unsigned int) constant. This would allow setting the high bits on 64bit platforms and not get an error. There is nothing that uses the high bits, so it should be entirely harmless, but we don't want userspace to accidentally set them anyway, so fix the constants.

I believe that passing pid (instead of tid) as the 3rd arg of the machine__find*_thread() was to find a main thread so that it can search proper map group for symbols. However with the map sharing patch applied, it now can do it in any thread. It fixes a bug when each thread has different name, it only reports a main thread for samples in other threads.

Currently perf record doesn't propagate the exit status of a workload given by the command line. But sometimes it'd useful if it's propagated so that a monitoring script can handle errors appropriately. To do that, it moves most of logic out of the exit handlers and run them directly in the __cmd_record(). The only thing needs to be done in the handler is propagating terminating signal so that the shell can terminate its loop properly when Ctrl-C was pressed. Also it cleaned up the resource management code in record__exit(). With this change, perf record returns the child exit status in case of normal termination and send signal to itself when terminated by signal. Example run of Stephane's case: $ perf record true && echo yes || echo no [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.013 MB perf.data (~589 samples) ] yes $ perf record false && echo yes || echo no [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.013 MB perf.data (~589 samples) ] no Jiri's case (error in parent): $ perf record -m 10G true && echo yes || echo no rounding mmap pages size to 17179869184 bytes (4194304 pages) failed to mmap with 12 (Cannot allocate memory) no $ ulimit -n 6 $ perf record sleep 1 && echo yes || echo no failed to create 'go' pipe: Too many open files Couldn't run the workload! no And Peter's case (interrupted by signal): $ while :; do perf record sleep 1; done ^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.014 MB perf.data (~593 samples) ] Reported-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Acked-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1399855645-25815-1-git-send-email-namhyung@kernel.orgSigned-off-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org>

In output of perf sched map, any shortname of thread will be explained at the first time when it appear. Example: *A0 228836.978985 secs A0 => perf:23032 *. A0 228836.979016 secs B0 => swapper:0 . *C0 228836.979099 secs C0 => migration/3:22 *A0 . C0 228836.979115 secs A0 . *. 228836.979115 secs But B0, which is explained as swapper:0 did not appear in the left part of output. Instead, we use '.' as the shortname of swapper:0. So the comment of "B0 => swapper:0" is not easy to understand. This patch clarify the output of perf sched map with not allocating one letter-number shortname for swapper:0 and print ". => swapper:0" as the explanation for swapper:0.

Commit 38b435b1 ("perf: Fix tear-down of inherited group events") states that we need to destroy groups for inherited events, but it doesn't make any sense to not also destroy groups for normal events. And while it usually makes no difference (the normal events won't leak, and its very likely all the group events will die in quick succession) it does make the code more consistent and closes a potential hole for trouble.

When removing a (sibling) event we do: raw_spin_lock_irq(&ctx->lock); perf_group_detach(event); raw_spin_unlock_irq(&ctx->lock); <hole> perf_remove_from_context(event); raw_spin_lock_irq(&ctx->lock); ... raw_spin_unlock_irq(&ctx->lock); Now, assuming the event is a sibling, it will be 'unreachable' for things like ctx_sched_out() because that iterates the groups->siblings, and we just unhooked the sibling. So, if during <hole> we get ctx_sched_out(), it will miss the event and not call event_sched_out() on it, leaving it programmed on the PMU. The subsequent perf_remove_from_context() call will find the ctx is inactive and only call list_del_event() to remove the event from all other lists. Hereafter we can proceed to free the event; while still programmed! Close this hole by moving perf_group_detach() inside the same ctx->lock region(s) perf_remove_from_context() has. The condition on inherited events only in __perf_event_exit_task() is likely complete crap because non-inherited events are part of groups too and we're tearing down just the same. But leave that for another patch.
