Add basic support to parse ARM assembly. This: * enables perf to correctly show the disassembly, rather than chopping some constants off at the '#' (which is not a comment character on ARM). * allows perf to identify ARM instructions that branch to other parts within the same function, thereby properly annotating them. * allows perf to identify function calls, allowing called functions to be followed in the annotated view.

Currently we have 2 kinds of stat counters based on when the event is enabled: 1) tracee command events, which are enable once the tracee executes exec syscall (enable_on_exec bit) 2) all other events which get alive within the perf_event_open syscall And 2) case could raise a problem in case we want additional filter to be attached for event. In this case we want the event to be enabled after it's configured with filter. Changing the behaviour of 2) events, so they all are created as disabled (disabled bit). Adding extra enable call to make them alive once they finish setup. Signed-off-by: -

If feed perf a symbol filter in cmdline and the result is empty, pressing 'Enter' in the hist browser causes crash: # ./perf report perf.data <-- Common mistake for beginners Then press 'Enter': perf: Segmentation fault -------- backtrace -------- /home/wangnan/perf[0x53e578] /lib64/libc.so.6(+0x3545f)[0x7f76bafe045f] /home/wangnan/perf[0x539dd4] /home/wangnan/perf(perf_evlist__tui_browse_hists+0x96)[0x53d216] /home/wangnan/perf(cmd_report+0x1b9f)[0x442c7f] /home/wangnan/perf[0x47efa2] /home/wangnan/perf(main+0x5f5)[0x432fa5] /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf4)[0x7f76bafccbd4] /home/wangnan/perf[0x4330d4] This is because 'perf.data' is interpreted as a symbol filter, and the result is empty, so selection is empty.

With the following steps: Step 1: perf report Step 2: Use UP/DOWN to select an entry, don't press 'ENTER' Step 3: Use '/' to filter symbols, use a filter which returns empty result Step 4: Press 'ENTER' We see that, even if we have filtered all the symbols (and the main interface is empty), pressing 'ENTER' still selects one symbol. This behavior surprises the user. This patch resets browser->{he_,}selection in hist_browser__refresh() and lets it choose default selection. In this case browser->{he_,}selection keeps NULL so user won't see annotation item in menu. Signed-off-by: -

Before this patch we can trigger a segfault by following steps: Step 0: Use 'perf record' to generate a perf.data without callchain Step 1: perf report Step 2: Use UP/DOWN to select an entry, don't press 'ENTER' Step 3: Use '/' to filter symbols, use a filter which returns empty result Step 4: Press 'ENTER' (notice here that the old selection is still there. This is another problem) Step 5: Press 'ENTER' to annotate that symbol Step 6: Press 'LEFT' to go out.

The --kernel option of perf buildid-list tool should show the running kernel buildid. The functionality has been lost during other changes of the related code. The build_id__sprintf() function should return length of the build-id string, but it was the length of the build-id raw data instead. Due to that, some return value checking caused that the final string was not printed out. With this patch the build_id__sprintf() returns the correct value, so the --kernel option works again.

For debugging low level code interacting with the CPU it is often useful to trace the MSR read/writes. This gives a concise summary of PMU and other operations. perf has an ad-hoc way to do this using trace_printk, but it's somewhat limited (and also now spews ugly boot messages when enabled) Instead define real trace points for all MSR accesses. This adds three new trace points: read_msr and write_msr and rdpmc. They also report if the access faulted (if *_safe is used) This allows filtering and triggering on specific MSR values, which allows various more advanced debugging techniques. All the values are well defined in the CPU documentation. The trace can be post processed with Documentation/trace/postprocess/decode_msr.py to add symbolic MSR names to the trace. I only added it to native MSR accesses in C, not paravirtualized or in entry*.S (which is not too interesting) Originally the patch kit moved the MSRs out of line. This uses an alternative approach recommended by Steven Rostedt of only moving the trace calls out of line, but open coding the access to the jump label. Signed-off-by:

Steven recommended open coding access to tracepoint->key to add trace points to headers. Unfortunately this is difficult for some headers (such as x86 asm/msr.h) because including tracepoint.h includes so many other headers that it causes include loops. The main problem is the include of linux/rcupdate.h, which pulls in a lot of other headers. The rcu header is only needed when actually defining trace points. Move the struct tracepoint into a separate tracepoint-defs.h header that can be included without pulling in all of RCU. Signed-off-by:

asm/atomic.h doesn't really need asm/processor.h anymore. Everything it uses has moved to other header files. So remove that include. processor.h is a nasty header that includes lots of other headers and makes it prone to include loops. Removing the include here makes asm/atomic.h a "leaf" header that can be safely included in most other headers. The only fallout is in the lib/atomic tester which relied on this implicit include. Give it an explicit include. (the include is in ifdef because the user is also in ifdef) Signed-off-by:

In case we monitor events system wide, we get EXIT event (when configured) twice for each task that exited. Note doubled lines with same pid/tid in following example: $ sudo ./perf record -a ^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.480 MB perf.data (2518 samples) ] $ sudo ./perf report -D | grep EXIT 0 60290687567581 0x59910 [0x38]: PERF_RECORD_EXIT(1250:1250):(1250:1250) 0 60290687568354 0x59948 [0x38]: PERF_RECORD_EXIT(1250:1250):(1250:1250) 0 60290687988744 0x59ad8 [0x38]: PERF_RECORD_EXIT(1250:1250):(1250:1250) 0 60290687989198 0x59b10 [0x38]: PERF_RECORD_EXIT(1250:1250):(1250:1250) 1 60290692567895 0x62af0 [0x38]: PERF_RECORD_EXIT(1253:1253):(1253:1253) 1 60290692568322 0x62b28 [0x38]: PERF_RECORD_EXIT(1253:1253):(1253:1253) 2 60290692739276 0x69a18 [0x38]: PERF_RECORD_EXIT(1252:1252):(1252:1252) 2 60290692739910 0x69a50 [0x38]: PERF_RECORD_EXIT(1252:1252):(1252:1252) The reason is that the cpu contexts are processes each time we call perf_event_task. I'm changing the perf_event_aux logic to serve task_ctx and cpu contexts separately, which ensure we don't get EXIT event generated twice on same cpu context. This does not affect other auxiliary events, as they don't use task_ctx at all. Signed-off-by:

When perf report on TUI was called with -S symbol filter, it should update nr entries even if min_pcnt is 0. IIRC the reason was to update nr entries after applying minimum percent threshold. But if symbol filter was given on command line (with -S option), it should use hists->nr_non_filtered_entries instead of hists->nr_entries. So this patch fixes a bug of navigating hists browser that the cursor goes beyond the number of entries when -S (or similar) option is used. Signed-off-by:

If user gives a filter, perf marks the corresponding column elided and omits the output. But it should process and aggregates samples using the field, otherwise samples will be aggregated as if the column was not there resulted in incorrect output. For example, I'd like to set a filter on native_write_msr_safe. The original overhead of the function is negligible. $ perf report | grep native_write_msr_safe 0.00% swapper [kernel.vmlinux] native_write_msr_safe 0.00% perf [kernel.vmlinux] native_write_msr_safe However adding -S option gives different output. $ perf report -S native_write_msr_safe --percentage absolute | \ > grep -e swapper -e perf 51.47% swapper [kernel.vmlinux] 4.14% perf [kernel.vmlinux] Since it aggregated samples using comm and dso only. In fact, the above values are same when it sorts with -s comm,dso. $ perf report -s comm,dso | grep -e swapper -e perf 51.47% swapper [kernel.vmlinux] 4.14% perf [kernel.vmlinux] This resulted in TUI failure with -ERANGE since it tries to increase sample hit count for annotation with wrong symbols due to incorrect aggregation. This patch fixes it not to skip elided fields when comparing samples in order to insert them to the hists.
