Adding perf record support for new branch stack filter criteria PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_COND. Signed-off-by:
-
Anshuman Khandual authored
This patch introduces new branch filter PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_COND which will extend the existing perf ABI. This will filter branches which are conditional. Various architectures can provide this functionality either with HW filtering support (if present) or with SW filtering of captured branch instructions. Signed-off-by:

tmpfs is widely used but as Denys reports shmem_aops doesn't have ->readpage() and thus you can't probe a binary on this filesystem. As Hugh suggested we can use shmem_read_mapping_page() in this case, just we need to check shmem_mapping() if ->readpage == NULL. Reported-by:

copy_insn() fails with -EIO if ->readpage == NULL, but this error is not propagated unless uprobe_register() path finds ->mm which already mmaps this file. In this case (say) "perf record" does not actually install the probe, but the user can't know about this. Move this check into uprobe_register() so that this problem can be detected earlier and reported to user. Note: this is still not perfect, - copy_insn() and arch_uprobe_analyze_insn() should be called by uprobe_register() but this is not simple, we need vm_file for read_mapping_page() (although perhaps we can pass NULL), and we need ->mm for is_64bit_mm() (although this logic is broken anyway). - uprobe_register() should be called by create_trace_uprobe(), not by probe_event_enable(), so that an error can be detected at "perf probe -x" time. This also needs more changes in the core uprobe code, uprobe register/unregister interface was poorly designed from the very beginning. Reported-by:

Add common code to generate -ENOTSUPP at event creation time if an architecture attempts to create a sampled event and PERF_PMU_NO_INTERRUPT is set. This adds a new pmu->capabilities flag. Initially we only support PERF_PMU_NO_INTERRUPT (to indicate a PMU has no support for generating hardware interrupts) but there are other capabilities that can be added later. Signed-off-by:

While that mutex should guard the elements, it doesn't guard against the use-after-free that's from list_for_each_entry_rcu(). __perf_event_exit_task() can actually free the event. And because list addition/deletion is guarded by both ctx->mutex and ctx->lock, holding ctx->mutex is sufficient for reading the list, so we don't actually need the rcu list iteration.

Currently 'make help' message has such hint: use "make prefix=<path> <install target>" to install to a particular path like make prefix=/usr/local install install-doc But this is misleading, when I specify "prefix=/usr/local", it has got no respect at all. This is because that, "DESTDIR" is considered first. In this case, "DESTDIR" has an empty value, so "prefix" is honored. However, "prefix" is unconditionally assigned to $HOME, regardless of what it is set to from command line. So our "prefix" setting got no respect and the actual destination falls back to $HOME. This patch fixes this issue and corrects the help message. Signed-off-by:Jianyu Zhan <nasa4836@gmail.com> Acked-by:

If the perf record command is interrupted in record__mmap_read_all function, the 'done' is set and err has the latest poll return value, which is most likely positive number (= number of pollfds ready to read). This 'positive err' is then propagated to the exit code, resulting in not finishing the perf.data header properly, causing following error in report: # perf record -F 50000 -a --- make the system real busy, so there's more chance to interrupt perf in event writing code --- ^C[ perf record: Woken up 16 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 30.292 MB perf.data (~1323468 samples) ] # perf report --stdio > /dev/null WARNING: The perf.data file's data size field is 0 which is unexpected. Was the 'perf record' command properly terminated? Fixing this by checking for positive poll return value and setting err to 0. Acked-by:

After output/sort fields refactoring, it's expensive to check the elide bool in its current location inside the 'struct sort_entry'. The perf_hpp__should_skip function gets highly noticable in workloads with high number of output/sort fields, like for: $ perf report -i perf-test.data -F overhead,sample,period,comm,pid,dso,symbol,cpu --stdio Performance report: 9.70% perf [.] perf_hpp__should_skip Moving the elide bool into the 'struct perf_hpp_fmt', which makes the perf_hpp__should_skip just single struct read. Got speedup of around 22% for my test perf.data workload. The change should not harm any other workload types.

There's no need to setup elide of sort_dso sort entry again with symbol_conf.dso_list list. The only difference were list names of memory mode data, which does not make much sense to me. Acked-by:

With current output field change, GTK browser cannot display callchain information correctly since it couldn't determine where the symbol column is. This is a problem - just for now I changed to use the last column since it'll work for most cases. Also it has a same problem of the percentage as stdio code. Signed-off-by:

On stdio, there's a problem that it shows invalid values for callchains in cumulated hist entries. It's because it only cares about the self period. But with --children behavior, we always add callchain info to the cumulated entries so it should use the value in that case.

Namhyung Kim authored
Print accumulated stat of a hist entry if requested. To do that, add new HPP_PERCENT_ACC_FNS macro and generate a perf_hpp_fmt using it. The __hpp__sort_acc() function sorts entries by accumulated period value. When accumulated periods of two entries are same (i.e. single path callchain) put the caller above since accumulation tends to put callers on higher position for obvious reason. Also add "overhead_children" output field to be selected by user. Signed-off-by:
