      perf header: Add infrastructure to record first and last sample time · 6011518d
      Jin Yao authored 
      perf report/script/... have a --time option to limit the time range of
output. That's very useful to slice large traces, e.g. when processing
the output of perf script for some analysis.

But right now --time only supports absolute time. Also there is no fast
way to get the start/end times of a given trace except for looking at
it.  This makes it hard to e.g. only decode the first half of the trace,
which is useful for parallelization of scripts

Another problem is that perf records are variable size and there is no
synchronization mechanism. So the only way to find the last sample
reliably would be to walk all samples. But we want to avoid that in perf
report/...  because it is already quite expensive. That is why storing
the first sample time and last sample time in perf record is better.

This patch creates a new header feature type HEADER_SAMPLE_TIME and
related ops. Save the first sample time and the last sample time to the
feature section in perf file header. That will be done when, for
instance, processing build-ids, where we already have to process all
samples to create the build-id table, take advantage of that to further
amortize that processing by storing HEADER_SAMPLE_TIME to make 'perf
report/script' faster when using --time.

Committer testing:

After this patch is applied the header is written with zeroes, we need
the next patch, for "perf record" to actually write the timestamps:

  # perf report -D | grep PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE\(
  22501155244406 0x44f0 [0x28]: PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE(IP, 0x4001): 25016/25016: 0xffffffffa21be8c5 period: 1 addr: 0
  <SNIP>
  22501155793625 0x4a30 [0x28]: PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE(IP, 0x4001): 25016/25016: 0xffffffffa21ffd50 period: 2828043 addr: 0
  # perf report --header | grep "time of "
  # time of first sample : 0.000000
  # time of last sample : 0.000000
  #

Changelog:

v7: 1. Rebase to latest perf/core branch.

    2. Add following clarification in patch description according to
       Arnaldo's suggestion.

       "That will be done when, for instance, processing build-ids,
	where we already have to process all samples to create the
	build-id table, take advantage of that to further amortize
	that processing by storing HEADER_SAMPLE_TIME to make
	'perf report/script' faster when using --time."

v4: Use perf script time style for timestamp printing. Also add with
    the printing of sample duration.

v3: Remove the definitions of first_sample_time/last_sample_time from
    perf_session. Just define them in perf_evlist

      perf report: Fix a no annotate browser displayed issue · 40c39e30
      Jin Yao authored 
      When enabling '-b' option in perf record, for example,

  perf record -b ...
  perf report

and then browsing the annotate browser from perf report (press 'A'), it
would fail (annotate browser can't be displayed).

It's because the '.add_entry_cb' op of struct report is overwritten by
hist_iter__branch_callback() in builtin-report.c. But this function doesn't do
something like mapping symbols and sources. So next, do_annotate() will return
directly.

        notes = symbol__annotation(act->ms.sym);
        if (!notes->src)
                return 0;

This patch adds the lost code to hist_iter__branch_callback (refer to
hist_iter__report_callback).

v2:

Fix a crash bug when perform 'perf report --stdio'.

The reason is that we init the symbol annotation only in browser mode, it
doesn't allocate/init resources for stdio mode.

So now in hist_iter__branch_callback(), it will return directly if it's not in
browser mode.

      perf report: Fix a wrong offset issue when using /proc/kcore · 935f5a9d
      Jin Yao authored 
      When a valid vmlinux is not found, 'perf report' falls back to look at
/proc/kcore. In this case, it will report the impossible large offset.

For example:

  # perf record -b -e cycles:k find /etc/ > /dev/null
  # perf report --stdio --branch-history

    22.77%  _vm_normal_page+18446603336221188162
            |
            ---page_remove_rmap +18446603336221188324
               page_remove_rmap +18446603336221188487 (cycles:5)
               unlock_page_memcg +18446603336221188096
               page_remove_rmap +18446603336221188327 (cycles:1)

The issue is the value which is passed to parameter 'addr' in
__get_srcline() is the objdump address. It's not correct if we calculate
the offset by using 'addr - sym->start'.

This patch creates a new parameter 'ip' in __get_srcline(). It is not
converted to objdump address.

With this patch, the perf report output is:

    22.77%  _vm_normal_page+66
            |
            ---page_remove_rmap +228
               page_remove_rmap +391 (cycles:5)
               unlock_page_memcg +0
               page_remove_rmap +231 (cycles:1)
               page_remove_rmap +236

Committer testing:

Make sure you get any valid vmlinux out of the way, using '-v' on the
'perf report' case and deleting it from places where perf searches them,
like your kernel build dir and the build-id cache, in ~/.debug/.

      perf test bpf: Hook on epoll_pwait() · e0337f4f
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored 
      The 'perf test bpf' was hooking a eBPF program on the SyS_epoll_wait()
kernel function, that was what the epoll_wait() glibc function ended up
calling, but since at least glibc 2.26, the one that comes with, for
instance, Fedora 27, glibc ends up calling SyS_epoll_pwait() when
epoll_wait() is used, causing this 'perf test' entry to fail.

So switch to using epoll_pwait() and hook the eBPF program to the
SyS_epoll_pwait() kernel function to make it work on a wider range of
glibc and kernel versions.

      When failing on one of the BPF tests we were just stating:

  BPF filter result incorrect

Add some more info to help figuring out the problem:

 BPF filter result incorrect, expected 56, got 0 samples

This came out while investigating this failure, first seen after
updating the kernel to the 4.15.0-rc6 tag:

  [root@jouet ~]# perf test bpf

 - re-align the initialization tables to be vertically aligned and readable again

 - harmonize comment style in terms of punctuation, capitalization and spelling

 - use curly braces for multi-condition branches

 - remove extra newlines

 - simplify the code a bit

      perf/x86/msr: Add support for MSR_IA32_THERM_STATUS · 9ae21dd6
      Stephane Eranian authored 
      This patch adds support for the Digital Readout provided by the
IA32_THERM_STATUS MSR (0x19C) on Intel X86 processors. The readout
shows the number of degrees Celcius to the TCC (critical temperature)
supported by the processor. Thus, the larger, the better.

The perf_event support is provided via the msr PMU. The new
logical event is called cpu_thermal_margin. It comes with a unit and
snapshot files. The event shows the current temprature distance (margin).
It is not an accumulating event. The unit is degrees C. The event
is provided per logical CPU to make things simpler but it is the
same for both hyper-threads sharing a physical core.

$ perf stat -I 1000 -a -A -e msr/cpu_thermal_margin/

This will print the temperature for all logical CPUs.
             time CPU                counts unit events
     1.000123741 CPU0                    38 C    msr/cpu_thermal_margin/
     1.000161837 CPU1                    37 C    msr/cpu_thermal_margin/
     1.000187906 CPU2                    36 C    msr/cpu_thermal_margin/
     1.000189046 CPU3                    39 C    msr/cpu_thermal_margin/
     1.000283044 CPU4                    40 C    msr/cpu_thermal_margin/
     1.000344297 CPU5                    40 C    msr/cpu_thermal_margin/
     1.000365832 CPU6                    39 C    msr/cpu_thermal_margin/
     ...

In case the temperature margin cannot be read, the reported value would be -1.

Works on all processors supporting the Digital Readout (dtherm in cpuinfo)
