While synchronizing what's in trace-cmd vs what's in perf, I came across a change that was made when entering the cfg80211 plugin into the tools/lib/traceevent directory. The function prototype went from: static unsigned long long process___le16_to_cpup(struct trace_seq *s, unsigned long long *args) to: static unsigned long long process___le16_to_cpup(struct trace_seq *s, unsigned long long *args) I can understand the line break after the long long, but there's no reason to keep args on a separate line.

Caching dso data file descriptors to avoid expensive re-opens especially during DWARF unwind. We keep dsos data file descriptors open until their count reaches the half of the current fd open limit (RLIMIT_NOFILE). In this case we close file descriptor of the first opened dso object. We've got overall speedup (~27% for my workload) of report: 'perf report --stdio -i perf-test.data' (3 runs) (perf-test.data size was around 12GB) current code: 545,640,944,228 cycles ( +- 0.53% ) 785,255,798,320 instructions ( +- 0.03% ) 366.340910010 seconds time elapsed ( +- 3.65% ) after change: 435,895,036,114 cycles ( +- 0.26% ) 636,790,271,176 instructions ( +- 0.04% ) 266.481463387 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.13% ) Acked-by: -

Namhyung Kim authored
When configuring event perf checked a wrong condition that user specified both of freq (-F) and period (-c) or the event has no default value. This worked because most of events don't have default value and only tracepoint events have default of 1 (and it's not desirable to change it for those events). However, Andi's downloadable event patch changes the situation so it cannot change the value for those events. Fix it by allowing override the default value if user gives one of the options. $ perf record -a -e uops_retired.all -F 4000 sleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.325 MB perf.data (~14185 samples) ] $ perf evlist -F cpu/uops_retired.all/: sample_freq=4000 Signed-off-by:

Improve error messages of 'perf probe --line' mode.

(-2) Error: Failed to show lines. ----- But -2 (-ENOENT) means that the given source line or function was not found. With this patch, 'perf probe' shows the correct error message: ----- # perf probe -L page_cgroup_init_flatmem Specified source line is not found. Error: Failed to show lines. ----- There is also another debug error code is shown in the same function after get_real_path(). This removes that too.

Fix an error message when failed to find given address in --vars mode. Without this fix, perf probe -V doesn't show the final "Error" message if it fails to find given source line. Moreover, it tells it fails to find "variables" instead of the source line. ----- # perf probe -V foo@bar Failed to find variables at foo@bar (0) ----- The result also shows mysterious error code. Actually the error returns 0 or -ENOENT means that it just fails to find the address of given source line. (0 means there is no matching address, and -ENOENT means there is an entry(DIE) but it has no instance, e.g. an empty inlined function) This fixes it to show what happened and the final error message as below. ----- # perf probe -V foo@bar Failed to find the address of foo@bar Error: Failed to show vars. ----- Signed-off-by: -

Show error code and description only in verbose mode if 'perf probe' command failed. Current 'perf probe' shows error code with final error message, and that is meaningless for many users. This changes error messages to show the error code and its description only in verbose mode (-v option). Without this patch: ----- # perf probe -a do_execve@hoge Probe point 'do_execve@hoge' not found. Error: Failed to add events. (-2) ----- With this patch, normally the message doesn't show the misterious error number: ----- # perf probe -a do_execve@hoge Probe point 'do_execve@hoge' not found. Error: Failed to add events. ----- And in verbose mode, it also shows additional error messages as below: ----- # perf probe -va do_execve@hoge probe-definition(0): do_execve@hoge symbol:do_execve file:hoge line:0 offset:0 return:0 lazy:(null) 0 arguments Looking at the vmlinux_path (6 entries long) Using /lib/modules/3.15.0-rc8+/build/vmlinux for symbols Open Debuginfo file: /lib/modules/3.15.0-rc8+/build/vmlinux Try to find probe point from debuginfo.

In perf's 'mem-mode', one can get access to a whole bunch of details specific to a particular sample instruction. A bunch of those details relate to the data address. One interesting thing you can do with data addresses is to convert them into a unique cacheline they belong too. Organizing these data cachelines into similar groups and sorting them can reveal cache contention. This patch creates an alogorithm based on various sample details that can help group entries together into data cachelines and allows 'perf report' to sort on it. The algorithm relies on having proper mmap2 support in the kernel to help determine if the memory map the data address belongs to is private to a pid or globally shared. The alogortithm is as follows: o group cpumodes together o group entries with discovered maps together o sort on major, minor, inode and inode generation numbers o if userspace anon, then sort on pid o sort on cachelines based on data addresses The 'dcacheline' sort option in 'perf report' only works in 'mem-mode'. Sample output: # # Samples: 206 of event 'cpu/mem-loads/pp' # Total weight : 2534 # Sort order : dcacheline,pid # # Overhead Samples Data Cacheline Command: Pid # ........ ............ ...................................................................... .................. # 13.22% 1 [k] 0xffff88042f08ebc0 swapper: 0 9.27% 1 [k] 0xffff88082e8cea80 swapper: 0 3.59% 2 [k] 0xffffffff819ba180 swapper: 0 0.32% 1 [k] arch_trigger_all_cpu_backtrace_handler_na.23901+0xffffffffffffffe0 swapper: 0 0.32% 1 [k] timekeeper_seq+0xfffffffffffffff8 swapper: 0 Note: Added a '+1' to symlen size in hists__calc_col_len to prevent the next column from prematurely tabbing over and mis-aligning.

With the Sebastian's change of handling num array argument (of raw syscall enter), the script still failed to work like this: $ perf record -e raw_syscalls:* sleep 1 $ perf script -g python $ perf script -s perf-script.py ... Traceback (most recent call last): File "perf-script.py", line 42, in raw_syscalls__sys_enter (id, args), TypeError: %u format: a number is required, not list Fatal Python error: problem in Python trace event handler Aborted (core dumped) This is because the generated script tries to print the array arg as unsigned integer (%u). Since the python seems to convert arguments to strings by default, just using %s solved the problem for me. Signed-off-by: -
