The perf_regs.c file does not get built on Powerpc as CONFIG_PERF_REGS is false. So the weak definition for 'sample_regs_masks' doesn't get picked up. Adding perf_regs.o to util/Build unconditionally, exposes a redefinition error for 'perf_reg_value()' function (due to the static inline version in util/perf_regs.h). So use #ifdef HAVE_PERF_REGS_SUPPORT' around that function. Signed-off-by:

The --max_stack option was added as an optimization to reduce processing time, so people specifying --max-stack might get a increased processing time if combined with synthesized callchains, but otherwise no real harm. A warning about setting both --max_stack and the synthesized callchains max depth seems like overkill. Amend the documentation. Reported-by:

Out of map_groups__find_symbol_by_name(), so that we can turn this later one first into a call to maps__find_symbol_by_name(MAP__FUNCTION) + MAP__VARIABLE, and then to just one call, we'll merge MAP__FUNCTION with MAP__VARIABLE maps, to simplify the code.

Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/core Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo: - Accept a zero --itrace period, meaning "as often as possible". In the case of Intel PT that is the same as a period of 1 and a unit of 'instructions' (i.e. --itrace=i1i). (Adrian Hunter) - Harmonize itrace's synthesized callchains with the existing --max-stack tool option. (Adrian Hunter) - Allow time to be displayed in nanoseconds in 'perf script'. (Adrian Hunter) - Fix potential infinite loop when handling Intel PT timestamps. (Adrian Hunter) - Slighly improve Intel PT debug logging. (Adrian Hunter) - Warn when AUX data has been lost, just like when processing PERF_RECORD_LOST. (Adrian Hunter) - Further document export-to-postgresql.py script. (Adrian Hunter) - Add option to synthesize branch stack from auxtrace data. (Adrian Hunter) - Use equivalent logic to avoid using dso->kernel. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - Show proper error messages when parsing bad terms for hw/sw events. (He Kuang) - Tracepoint event parsing improvements. (He Kuang) - Store tracing mountpoint for better error message. (Jiri Olsa) - Add fixdep to tools/build, bringing it closer to the kernel counterpart, from where it is being lifted.

This patch enables config terms for tracepoint perf events. Valid terms for tracepoint events are 'call-graph' and 'stack-size', so we can use different callgraph settings for each event and eliminate unnecessary overhead. Here is an example for using different call-graph config for each tracepoint. $ perf record -e syscalls:sys_enter_write/call-graph=fp/ -e syscalls:sys_exit_write/call-graph=no/ dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=4k count=10 $ perf report --stdio # # Total Lost Samples: 0 # # Samples: 13 of event 'syscalls:sys_enter_write' # Event count (approx.): 13 # # Children Self Command Shared Object Symbol # ........ ........ ....... .................. ...................... # 76.92% 76.92% dd libpthread-2.20.so [.] __write_nocancel | ---__write_nocancel 23.08% 23.08% dd libc-2.20.so [.] write | ---write | |--33.33%-- 0x2031342820736574 | |--33.33%-- 0xa6e69207364726f | --33.33%-- 0x34202c7320393039 ... # Samples: 13 of event 'syscalls:sys_exit_write' # Event count (approx.): 13 # # Children Self Command Shared Object Symbol # ........ ........ ....... .................. ...................... # 76.92% 76.92% dd libpthread-2.20.so [.] __write_nocancel 23.08% 23.08% dd libc-2.20.so [.] write 7.69% 0.00% dd [unknown] [.] 0x0a6e69207364726f 7.69% 0.00% dd [unknown] [.] 0x2031342820736574 7.69% 0.00% dd [unknown] [.] 0x34202c7320393039 Signed-off-by:He Kuang <hekuang@huawei.com> Acked-by:

Show proper error message and show valid terms when wrong config terms is specified for hw/sw type perf events. This patch makes the original error format function formats_error_string() more generic, which only outputs the static config terms for hw/sw perf events, and prepends pmu formats for pmu events. Before this patch: $ perf record -e 'cpu-clock/freqx=200/' -a sleep 1 invalid or unsupported event: 'cpu-clock/freqx=200/' Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>] or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>] -e, --event <event> event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events After this patch: $ perf record -e 'cpu-clock/freqx=200/' -a sleep 1 event syntax error: 'cpu-clock/freqx=200/' \___ unknown term valid terms: config,config1,config2,name,period,freq,branch_type,time,call-graph,stack-size Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>] or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>] -e, --event <event> event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events Signed-off-by: -

Currently, function config_term() is used for checking config terms of all types of events, while unknown terms is not reported as an error because pmu events have valid terms in sysfs. But this is wrong when unknown terms are specificed to hw/sw events. This patch Adds the config_term callback so we can use separate check routines for each type of events. Signed-off-by:

autofdo incorrectly expects branch flags to include either mispred or predicted. In fact mispred = predicted = 0 is valid and means the flags are not supported, which they aren't by Intel PT. To make autofdo work, add a config option which will cause Intel PT decoder to set the mispred flag on all branches. Below is an example of using Intel PT with autofdo. The example is also added to the Intel PT documentation. It requires autofdo (https://github.com/google/autofdo) and gcc version 5. The bubble sort example is from the AutoFDO tutorial (https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/AutoFDO/Tutorial) amended to take the number of elements as a parameter. $ gcc-5 -O3 sort.c -o sort_optimized $ ./sort_optimized 30000 Bubble sorting array of 30000 elements 2254 ms $ cat ~/.perfconfig [intel-pt] mispred-all $ perf record -e intel_pt//u ./sort 3000 Bubble sorting array of 3000 elements 58 ms [ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 3.939 MB perf.data ] $ perf inject -i perf.data -o inj --itrace=i100usle --strip $ ./create_gcov --binary=./sort --profile=inj --gcov=sort.gcov -gcov_version=1 $ gcc-5 -O3 -fauto-profile=sort.gcov sort.c -o sort_autofdo $ ./sort_autofdo 30000 Bubble sorting array of 30000 elements 2155 ms Note there is currently no advantage to using Intel PT instead of LBR, but that may change in the future if greater use is made of the data.

Add a new option --strip which is used with --itrace to strip out non-synthesized events. This results in a perf.data file that is simpler for external tools to parse. In particular, this can be used to prepare a perf.data file for consumption by autofdo. A subsequent patch makes a change to Intel PT also to enable use with autofdo and gives an example of that use.

perf inject can process instruction traces (using the --itrace option) which removes aux-related events and replaces them with the requested synthesized events. However there are still some leftovers, namely PERF_RECORD_ITRACE_START events and the original evsel (selected event) e.g. intel_pt// For the sake of completeness, remove them too. Signed-off-by:

perf_evlist__id2evsel_strict() is the same as perf_evlist__id2evsel() except that it ensures that the id must match. This will be used by perf inject to find a specific evsel that is to be deleted, hence the need to match exactly. Signed-off-by:

perf script has a setting to set the maximum stack depth when processing callchains. The setting defaults to the hard-coded maximum definition PERF_MAX_STACK_DEPTH which is 127. It is possible, when processing instruction traces, to synthesize callchains. Synthesized callchains do not have the kernel size limitation and are whatever size the user requests, although validation presently prevents the user requested a value greater that 1024. The default value is 16. To allow for synthesized callchains, make the scripting_max_stack value at least the same size as the synthesized callchain size. Signed-off-by:

perf report has an option (--max-stack) to set the maximum stack depth when processing callchains. The option defaults to the hard-coded maximum definition PERF_MAX_STACK_DEPTH which is 127. The intention of the option is to allow the user to reduce the processing time by reducing the amount of the callchain that is processed. It is also possible, when processing instruction traces, to synthesize callchains. Synthesized callchains do not have the kernel size limitation and are whatever size the user requests, although validation presently prevents the user requested a value greater that 1024. The default value is 16. To allow for synthesized callchains, make the max_stack value at least the same size as the synthesized callchain size. Signed-off-by:

Add support for generating branch stack context for PT samples. The decoder reports a configurable number of branches as branch context for each sample. Internally it keeps track of them by using a simple sliding window. We also flush the last branch buffer on each sample to avoid overlapping intervals. This is useful for: - Reporting accurate basic block edge frequencies through the perf report branch view - Using with --branch-history to get the wider context of samples - Other users of LBRs Also the Documentation is updated. Examples: Record with Intel PT: perf record -e intel_pt//u ls Branch stacks are used by default if synthesized so: perf report --itrace=ile is the same as: perf report --itrace=ile -b Branch history can be requested also: perf report --itrace=igle --branch-history Based-on-patch-by:

A non-synthesized event might not have a branch stack if branch stacks have been synthesized (using itrace options). An example of that is when Intel PT records sched_switch events for decoding purposes. Those sched_switch events do not have branch stacks even though the Intel PT decoder may be synthesizing other events that do due to the itrace options. Signed-off-by:

TSC packets contain only 7 bytes of TSC. The 8th byte is assumed to change so infrequently that its value can be inferred. However the logic must cater for a 7 byte wraparound, which it does by adding 1 to the top byte. The existing code was doing that with a while loop even though the addition should only need to be done once. That logic won't work (will loop forever) if TSC wraps around at the 8th byte. Theoretically that would take at least 10 years, unless something else went wrong. And what else could go wrong. Well, if the chunks of trace data are processed out of order, it will make it look like the 7-byte TSC has gone backwards (i.e. wrapped). If that happens 256 times then stuck in the while loop it will be. Fix that by getting rid of the unnecessary while loop. Signed-off-by:

Processing instruction tracing data (e.g. Intel PT) can synthesize callchains e.g. $ perf record -e intel_pt//u uname $ perf report --stdio --itrace=ige However perf report's callgraph option gets extra validation, so: $ perf report --stdio --itrace=ige -gflat Error: Selected -g or --branch-history but no callchain data. Did you call 'perf record' without -g? # To display the perf.data header info, # please use --header/--header-only options. # Fix the validation to know about instruction tracing options so above command works. A side-effect of the change is that the default option to accumulate the callchain of child functions comes into force. To get the previous behaviour the --no-children option can be used e.g. $ perf report --stdio --itrace=ige -gflat --no-children Signed-off-by: -

Instruction tracing options (i.e. --itrace) include an option for sampling instructions at an arbitrary period. e.g. --itrace=i10us means make an 'instructions' sample for every 10us of trace. Currently the logic does not distinguish between a period of zero and no period being specified at all, so it gets treated as the default period which is 100000. That doesn't really make sense. Fix it so that zero period is accepted and treated as meaning "as often as possible". In the case of Intel PT that is the same as a period of 1 and a unit of 'instructions' (i.e. --itrace=i1i).
