      perf tools: Separate accounting of contexts and real addresses in a stack trace · a29d5c9b
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      The perf_sample->ip_callchain->nr value includes all the entries in the
      ip_callchain->ip[] array, real addresses and PERF_CONTEXT_{KERNEL,USER,etc},
      while what the user expects is that what is in the kernel.perf_event_max_stack
      sysctl or in the upcoming per event perf_event_attr.sample_max_stack knob be
      honoured in terms of IP addresses in the stack trace.
      
      So match the kernel support and validate chain->nr taking into account
      both kernel.perf_event_max_stack and kernel.perf_event_max_contexts_per_stack.

      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      The perf_sample->ip_callchain->nr value includes all the entries in the

      So allocate a bunch of extra entries for contexts, and do the accounting
      via perf_callchain_entry_ctx struct members.
      
      A new sysctl, kernel.perf_event_max_contexts_per_stack is also
      introduced for investigating possible bugs in the callchain
      implementation by some arch.

      perf core: Add a 'nr' field to perf_event_callchain_context · 3b1fff08
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      We will use it to count how many addresses are in the entry->ip[] array,
      excluding PERF_CONTEXT_{KERNEL,USER,etc} entries, so that we can really
      return the number of entries specified by the user via the relevant
      sysctl, kernel.perf_event_max_contexts, or via the per event
      perf_event_attr.sample_max_stack knob.
      
      This way we keep the perf_sample->ip_callchain->nr meaning, that is the
      number of entries, be it real addresses or PERF_CONTEXT_ entries, while
      honouring the max_stack knobs, i.e. the end result will be max_stack
      entries if we have at least that many entries in a given stack trace.

      So that it can be used for other stack related knobs, such as the
      upcoming one to tweak the max number of of contexts per stack sample.
      
      In all those cases we can only change the value if there are no perf
      sessions collecting stacks, so they need to grab that mutex, etc.

      perf stat: Use cpu-clock event for cpu targets · a1f3d567
      Namhyung Kim authored
      Currently 'perf stat' always counts task-clock event by default.  But
      it's somewhat confusing for system-wide targets (especially with 'sleep
      N' as the 'sleep' task just sleeps and doesn't use cputime).  Changing
      to cpu-clock event instead for that case makes more sense IMHO.

      perf stat: Update runtime using cpu-clock event · daf4f478
      Namhyung Kim authored
      Currently only the task-clock event updates the runtime_nsec so it
      cannot show the metric when using cpu-clock events.  However cpu clock
      works basically same as task-clock, so no need to not update the runtime
      IMHO.

      perf symbols: Store vdso buildid unconditionally · 6ae98ba6
      He Kuang authored
      When unwinding callchains on a different machine, vdso info should be
      available so the unwind process won't be interrupted if address falls
      into vdso region. But in most cases, the addresses of sample events are
      not in vdso range, the buildid of a zero hit vdso won't be stored into
      perf.data.
      
      This patch stores vdso buildid regardless of whether the vdso is hit or
      not.
