Currently perf record always errors out when you run it as non-root with kptr_restrict == 1, which is often the default. Make it only warn instead and fix the kernel resolve code to not segfault later. Profiling works still fine, except kernel symbols are not resolved. Signed-off-by:

On systems with more than one socket perf stat --per-core would either segfault or stop before outputting all cores. The problem was that the output code referenced the id including the socket number in the higher bits, which is far beyond any per cpu array. Mask out the socket number before referencing cpus in abs_printout. I also renamed the variable in nsec_printout to be clear what it is, even though it doesn't reference cpus. Signed-off-by:

Merge tag 'perf-fdarray-for-mingo' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/core Pull perf tooling updates from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo. Infrastructure changes: * We were not handling POLLHUP notifications for event file descriptors. Fix it by filtering entries in the events file descriptor array after poll() returns, refcounting mmaps so that when the last fd pointing to a perf mmap goes away we do the unmap. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) User visible changes: * Now 'record' and 'trace' properly exit when a target thread exits. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) Signed-off-by:

As noticed by receiving a POLLHUP for all its pollfd entries. That will remove the refcount taken in perf_evlist__mmap_per_evsel(), and when all events are consumed via perf_evlist__mmap_read() + perf_evlist__mmap_consume(), the ring buffer will be unmap'ed. Thanks to Jiri Olsa for pointing out that we must wait till all events are consumed, not being ok to unmmap just when receiving all the POLLHUPs.

We will use this in perf's evlist class so that it can, at fdarray__filter() time, to unmap the associated ring buffer. We may need to have further info associated with each fdarray entry, in that case we'll make that int array a 'union fdarray_priv' one and put a pointer there so that users can stash whatever they want there. For now, an int is enough tho. v2: Add clarification to the per array entry priv area, as well as make it a union, which makes usage a bit longer, but if/when we make it use more space by allowing per entry pointers existing users source code will not have to be changed, just rebuilt.

The extensible file description array that grew in the perf_evlist class can be useful for other tools, as it is not something that only evlists need, so move it to tools/lib/api/fd to ease sharing it. v2: Don't use {} like in: libapi_dirs: $(QUIET_MKDIR)mkdir -p $(OUTPUT){fs,fd}/ in Makefiles, as it will not work in some systems, as in ubuntu13.10. v3: Add fd/*.[ch] to LIBAPIKFS_SOURCES (Fix from Jiri Olsa) v4: Leave the fcntl(fd, O_NONBLOCK) in the evlist layer, remains to be checked if it is really needed there, but has no place in the fdarray class (Fix from Jiri Olsa) v5: Remove evlist details from fdarray grow/filter tests.

Because we want to notice when they get POLLHUP'ed, so that we can figure out when all threads exited in a workload being monitored. We can't just monitor the fds that were mmaped, we need to notice when all the fds that were PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT'ed too, because the mmap stays even after the fd that originally was used to do the mmap call went away, its only when all the set-output fds for a mmap are gone that the mmap is.

We want to know when the fd went away, like when a monitored thread exits. If we do not monitor such events, then the tools will wait forever on events from a vanished thread, like when running: $ sleep 5s & $ perf record -p `pidof sleep` This builds upon the kernel patch by Jiri Olsa that actually makes a poll on those file descriptors to return POLLHUP. It is also needed to change the tools to use perf_evlist__filter_pollfd() to check if there are remainings fds to monitor or if all are gone, in which case they will exit the poll/mmap/read loop.

To remove all entries in evlist->pollfd[] that have revents matching at least one of the bits in the specified mask. It'll adjust evlist->nr_fds to the number of unfiltered fds and will return this value, as a convenience and to avoid requiring direct access to internal state of perf_evlist objects. This will be used after polling the evlist fds so that we remove fds that were closed by the kernel. Acked-by:

This patch restructures the memory controller (IMC) uncore PMU support for client SNB/IVB/HSW processors. The main change is that it can now cope with more than one PCI device ID per processor model. There are many flavors of memory controllers for each processor. They have different PCI device ID, yet they behave the same w.r.t. the memory controller PMU that we are interested in. The patch now supports two distinct memory controllers for IVB processors: one for mobile, one for desktop. Signed-off-by:

Use the newly added Broadwell cache event list for Haswell too. All Haswell and Broadwell events and offcore masks used in these lists are identical. However Haswell is very different from the Sandy Bridge list that was used previously. That fixes a wide range of mis-counting cache events. The node events are now only for retired memory events, so prefetching and speculative memory accesses are not included. They are PEBS capable now, which makes it much easier to sample for them, plus it's possible to create address maps with -d. The prefetch events are gone now. They way the hardware counts them is very misleading (some prefetches included, others not), so it seemed best to leave them out. Signed-off-by:

On Broadwell INST_RETIRED.ALL cannot be used with any period that doesn't have the lowest 6 bits cleared. And the period should not be smaller than 128. Add a new callback to enforce this, and set it for Broadwell. This is erratum BDM57 and BDM11. How does this handle the case when an app requests a specific period with some of the bottom bits set The apps thinks it is sampling at X occurences per sample, when it is in fact at X - 63 (worst case). Short answer: Any useful instruction sampling period needs to be 4-6 orders of magnitude larger than 128, as an PMI every 128 instructions would instantly overwhelm the system and be throttled. So the +-64 error from this is really small compared to the period, much smaller than normal system jitter. Long answer: <write up by Peter:> IFF we guarantee perf_event_attr::sample_period >= 128. Suppose we start out with sample_period=192; then we'll set period_left to 192, we'll end up with left = 128 (we truncate the lower bits). We get an interrupt, find that period_left = 64 (>0 so we return 0 and don't get an overflow handler), up that to 128. Then we trigger again, at n=256. Then we find period_left = -64 (<=0 so we return 1 and do get an overflow). We increment with sample_period so we get left = 128. We fire again, at n=384, period_left = 0 (<=0 so we return 1 and get an overflow). And on and on. So while the individual interrupts are 'wrong' we get then with interval=256,128 in exactly the right ratio to average out at 192. And this works for everything >=128. So the num_samples*fixed_period thing is still entirely correct +- 127, which is good enough I'd say, as you already have that error anyhow. So no need to 'fix' the tools, al we need to do is refuse to create INST_RETIRED:ALL events with sample_period < 128. Signed-off-by:

Add Broadwell support for Broadwell Client to perf. This is very similar to Haswell. It uses a new cache event table, because there were various changes there. The constraint list has one new event that needs to be handled over Haswell. The PEBS event list is the same, so we reuse Haswell's.

71 is a Broadwell, not a Haswell. The model number was added by mistake earlier. Remove it for now, until it can be re-added later with real Broadwell support. In practice it does not cause a lot of issues because the Broadwell PMU is very similar to Haswell, but some details were wrong, and it's better to handle it correctly. Signed-off-by:
