In ac12f676 ("perf tools: Implement branch_type event parameter") we started using the parse_branch_str() function from one of the files used in the python binding, which caused this entry in 'perf test' to fail: # perf test -v python 16: Try 'import perf' in python, checking link problems : --- start --- test child forked, pid 16667 Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ImportError: /tmp/build/perf/python/perf.so: undefined symbol: parse_branch_str test child finished with -1 ---- end ---- Try 'import perf' in python, checking link problems: FAILED! # I must've commited some mistake when running 'perf test' to send the pull request for the perf-core-for-mingo-20161024 tag, to have let this regression to pass, sigh. Just add tools/perf/util/parse-branch-options.c and switch from using ui__warning(), that is not available in the python binding, use pr_warning() instead, which is good enough for this case.

Joonwoo reported that there's a mismatch between timestamps in script and sched commands. This was because of difference in printing the timestamp. Factor out the code and share it so that they can be in sync. Also I found that sched map has similar problem, fix it too. Committer notes: Fixed the max_lat_at bug introduced by Namhyung's original patch, as pointed out by Joonwoo, and made it a function following the scnprintf() model, i.e. returning the number of bytes formatted, and receiving as the first parameter the object from where the data to the formatting is obtained, renaming it from: char *timestamp_in_usec(char *bf, size_t size, u64 timestamp) to int timestamp__scnprintf_usec(u64 timestamp, char *bf, size_t size) Reported-by:

I'd like to see the name of tasks with perf sched map, but it only shows name of new tasks and then use short names after all. This is not good for long running tasks since it's hard for users to track the short names. This patch makes it show the names (except the idle task) when -v option is used. Probably we may make it as default behavior. Signed-off-by:

The perf report/top on TUI supports horizontal scrolling using LEFT and RIGHT keys. But it calculate the number of columns incorrectly when hierarchy mode is enabled so that keep pressing RIGHT key can make the output disappeared. In the hierarchy mode, all sort keys are collapsed into a single column, so it needs to be applied when calculating column numbers. Reported-and-Tested-by:

Sebastian noted that overhead for worker thread ops (throughput) accounting was producing 'perf' to appear in the profiles, consuming a non-trivial (i.e. 13%) amount of CPU. This is due to cacheline bouncing due to the increment of w->ops. We can easily fix this by just working on a local copy and updating the actual worker once done running, and ready to show the program summary. There is no danger of the worker being concurrent, so we can trust that no stale value is being seen by another thread. This also gets rid of the unnecessary cache alignment hack; its not worth it.

It popped up in perf testing that the worker consumes some amount of CPU. It boils down to the increment of `ops` which causes cache line bouncing between the individual threads. This patch aligns the struct by 256 bytes to ensure that not a cache line is shared among CPUs. 128 byte is the x86 worst case and grep says that L1_CACHE_SHIFT is set to 8 on s390. Signed-off-by:

When the jit_buf_desc contains unwinding information, it is emitted as eh_frame unwinding sections in the DSOs generated by perf inject. The unwinding information is required to unwind of JITed code which do not maintain the frame pointer register during function calls. It can be emitted by V8 / Chromium when the --perf_prof_unwinding_info is passed to V8. The eh_frame and eh_frame_hdr sections are emitted immediately after the .text. The .eh_frame is aligned at a 8-byte boundary, and .eh_frame_hdr at a 4-byte one. Since size of the .eh_frame is required to be a multiple of the word size, which means there will never be additional padding between it and the .eh_frame_hdr on machines where the word size is 4 or 8 bytes. However, additional padding might be inserted between .text and .eh_frame to reach the correct alignment, which will always be 8 bytes, also on 32bit machines. The reasoning behind this choice is that 4 extra bytes of padding worst case are not a large cost for the advantage of removing word-size dependent offset calculations when emitting the jitdump.

This record is intended to provide unwinding information in the eh_frame format. This is required to unwind JITed code which does not maintain the frame pointer register during function calls. The eh_frame unwinding information can be emitted by V8 / Chromium when the --perf_prof_unwinding_info is passed. A record of type jr_code_unwinding_info comes before the jr_code_load it referred to and contains both the .eh_frame and .eh_frame_hdr. The fields in the header have the following meaning: * unwinding_size: size of the eh_frame and eh_frame_hdr, necessary for distinguishing the content from the padding. * eh_frame_hdr_size: as the name says. * mapped_size: size of the payload that was in memory at runtime. typically unwinding_size if the .eh_frame_hdr and .eh_frame were mapped, or 0 if they weren't. It should always be the former case, since the .eh_frame is guaranteed to be mapped in memory. However, certain JITs might want to inject an .eh_frame_hdr with an empty LUT to trigger fp-based unwinding fallback in libunwind. The only part of the .eh_frame_hdr that libunwind reads from remote memory is the LUT, and since there is none, mapping the unwinding info in memory is not necessary, and 0 in this field signifies that it wasn't. This practical hack allows to save bytes in code memory for those JIT compilers that might or might not maintain a valid frame pointer. The payload that follows is assumed to contain first the .eh_frame and then the .eh_header_hdr, with no padding between the two. Signed-off-by: -

When calculating .eh_frame_hdr base and LUT offsets do not always assume that pgoff is zero. The assumption is false for DSOs built from the jitdump by perf inject, because the ELF header did not exist in memory at sampling time. Signed-off-by:

The behavior before this commit was to skip the remaining portion of the jitdump in case an unknown record was found, including those records that perf could handle. With this change, parsing a record with an unknown id will cause a warning to be emitted, the record will be skipped and parsing will resume from the next (valid) one. The patch aims at making perf more future proof, by extracting as much information as possible from jitdumps. Signed-off-by:

This patch modifies the build dependencies on the jitdump support in perf. As it stands jitdump was wrongfully made dependent 100% on using DWARF. However, the dwarf dependency, only exist if generating the source line table in genelf_debug.c. The rest of the support does not need DWARF. This patch removes the dependency on DWARF for the entire jitdump support. It keeps it only for the genelf_debug.c support. Signed-off-by:

It can be useful to specify branch type state per event, for example if we want to collect both software trace points and last branch PMU events in a single collection. Currently this doesn't work because the software trace point errors out with -b. There was already a branch-type parameter to configure branch sample types per event in the parser, but it was stubbed out. This patch implements the necessary plumbing to actually enable it. Now: $ perf record -e sched:sched_switch,cpu/cpu-cycles,branch_type=any/ ... works. Signed-off-by:
