Change the Python detection message from: config/Makefile:566: No python-config tool was found config/Makefile:566: Python support will not be built config/Makefile:565: No 'python-config' tool was found: disables Python support - please install python-devel/python-dev It's now a standard one-line message with a package install suggestion, and it also uses the standard language used by other feature detection messages.

This message: Makefile:153: The path 'python-config' is not executable. Appears on every perf build that does not have a sufficient python environment installed. It's really just an internal detail of python configuration pass and users should not see it - and it's pretty meaningless to them in any case because the message is not very helpful. (So it's not executable. Why does that matter? What can the user do about it?) Remove the warning, the missing python feature warning is sufficient: config/Makefile:566: No python-config tool was found config/Makefile:566: Python support will not be built although even that one isn't very helpful to users: so no Python support will be built, what can the user do to fix that? Most other such warnings give package install suggestions. Signed-off-by:

The 'perf record --group' option lacks documentation and confuses users. As -e/--event option already supports group spec, it should not be used anymore. Also add a short description of event group itself. Reported-by:

He Kuang reported that current perf tools failed to build when ARCH variable was given like above. It was because the name is different that internal directory name. I can see that David's sparc64 build has same problem. So fix it by applying the sed conversion script to the command line ARCH variable also, and fixing the converted name there (i.e. i386/x86_64 -> x86, sparc64 -> sparc). Reported-by:

Add --purge FILE to remove all caches of FILE. Since the current --remove FILE removes a cache which has same build-id of given FILE. Since the command takes a FILE path, it can confuse user who tries to remove cache about FILE path. ----- # ./perf buildid-cache -v --add ./perf Adding 133b7b5486d987a5ab5c3ebf4ea14941f45d4d4f ./perf: Ok # (update the ./perf binary) # ./perf buildid-cache -v --remove ./perf Removing 305bbd1be68f66eca7e2d78db294653031edfa79 ./perf: FAIL ./perf wasn't in the cache ----- Actually, the --remove's FAIL is not shown, it just silently fails. So, this patch adds --purge FILE action for such usecase. perf buildid-cache --purge FILE removes all caches which has same FILE path. In other words, it removes all caches including old binaries. ----- # ./perf buildid-cache -v --add ./perf Adding 133b7b5486d987a5ab5c3ebf4ea14941f45d4d4f ./perf: Ok # (update the ./perf binary) # ./perf buildid-cache -v --purge ./perf Removing 133b7b5486d987a5ab5c3ebf4ea14941f45d4d4f ./perf: Ok ----- BTW, if you want to purge all the caches, remove ~/.debug/* .

The perf-completion.sh uses a predefined string '--help --version --exec-path --html-path --paginate --no-pager --perf-dir --work-tree --debugfs-dir' for the bash completion of 'perf --*', which has two problems: Problem 1: If the options of perf are changed (see handle_options() in perf.c), the perf-completion.sh has to be changed at the same time. If not, the bash completion of 'perf --*' and the options which perf really supports will be inconsistent. Problem 2: When typing another single character after 'perf --', e.g. 'h', and hit TAB key to get the bash completion of 'perf --h', the character 'h' disappears at once. This is not what we want, we wish the bash completion can return '--help --html-path' and then we can continue to choose one. To solve this problem, we add '--list-opts' to perf, which now supports 'perf --list-opts' directly, and its result can be used in bash completion now. Example: Before this patch: $ perf --h <-- hit TAB key after character 'h' $ perf -- <-- 'h' disappears and no required result After this patch: $ perf --h <-- hit TAB key after character 'h' --help --html-path <-- the required result Signed-off-by:

If the long_name of a 'struct option' is defined as NULL, --list-opts will incorrectly print '--(null)' in its output.

If somebody happens to name an event with the beginning of 'tracepoint' (e.g. tracepoint_foo), then it will never be showed with perf list event_glob, thus we parse the argument 'tracepoint' more carefully for accuracy. Example: Before this patch: $ perf list tracepoint_foo:* jbd2:jbd2_start_commit [Tracepoint event] jbd2:jbd2_commit_locking [Tracepoint event] jbd2:jbd2_run_stats [Tracepoint event] block:block_rq_issue [Tracepoint event] block:block_bio_complete [Tracepoint event] block:block_bio_backmerge [Tracepoint event] block:block_getrq [Tracepoint event] ... ... As shown above, all of the tracepoint events are printed. In fact, the command's real intention is to print the events of tracepoint_foo. After this patch: $ perf list tracepoint_foo:* tracepoint_foo:tp_foo_enter [Tracepoint event] tracepoint_foo:tp_foo_exit [Tracepoint event] As shown above, only the events of tracepoint_foo are printed.

Currently, the perf diff only works with same binaries. That's because it compares the symbol start address. It doesn't work if the perf.data comes from different binaries. This patch matches the symbol names. Actually, perf diff once intended to compare the symbol names. The commit as below can look for a pair by name. 604c5c92 (perf diff: Change the default sort order to "dso,symbol") However, at that time, perf diff used a global list of dsos. That means the binaries which has same name can only be loaded once. That's a problem for comparing different binaries. For example, we have an old binary and an updated binary. They very likely have same name and most of the functions, so only dsos from old binary will be loaded. When processing the data from updated binary, perf still use the symbol information from old binary. That's wrong. Then the commit as below used IP to replace symbol name. 9c443dfd ("perf diff: Fix support for all --sort combinations") >From that time, perf diff starts to compare the symbol address. The global dsos is discarded from a patch in 2010. a1645ce1 ("perf: 'perf kvm' tool for monitoring guest performance from host") However, at that time, perf diff already compared by address. So perf diff cannot work for different binaries as well. This patch actually rolls back the perf diff to original design. The document is also changed, so everybody knows the original design is to compare the symbol names. Here are some examples: The only difference between example_v1.c and example_v2.c is the location of f2 and f3. There is no change in behavior, but the previous perf diff display the wrong differential profile. example_v1.c noinline void f3(void) { volatile int i; for (i = 0; i < 10000;) { if(i%2) i++; else i++; } } noinline void f2(void) { volatile int a = 100, b, c; for (b = 0; b < 10000; b++) c = a * b; } noinline void f1(void) { f2(); f3(); } int main() { int i; for (i = 0; i < 100000; i++) f1(); } example_v2.c noinline void f2(void) { volatile int a = 100, b, c; for (b = 0; b < 10000; b++) c = a * b; } noinline void f3(void) { volatile int i; for (i = 0; i < 10000;) { if(i%2) i++; else i++; } } noinline void f1(void) { f2(); f3(); } int main() { int i; for (i = 0; i < 100000; i++) f1(); } [lk@localhost perf_diff]$ gcc example_v1.c -o example [lk@localhost perf_diff]$ perf record -o example_v1.data ./example [ perf record: Woken up 4 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.813 MB example_v1.data (~35522 samples) ] [lk@localhost perf_diff]$ gcc example_v2.c -o example [lk@localhost perf_diff]$ perf record -o example_v2.data ./example [ perf record: Woken up 4 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.824 MB example_v2.data (~36015 samples) ] Old perf diff result: [lk@localhost perf_diff]$ perf diff example_v1.data example_v2.data Event 'cycles' Baseline Delta Shared Object Symbol ........ ....... ................ ...............................

Add new buildid cache if the update target file is not cached. This can happen when an old binary is replaced by new one after caching the old one. In this case, user sees his operation just failed.

Recent linux kernel provides a blacklist of the functions which can not be probed. perf probe can now check this blacklist before setting new events and indicate better error message for users. Without this patch, ---- # perf probe --add vmalloc_fault Added new event: Failed to write event: Invalid argument Error: Failed to add events. ---- With this patch ---- # perf probe --add vmalloc_fault Added new event: Warning: Skipped probing on blacklisted function: vmalloc_fault ---- Reported-by:Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@kernel.org> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20150219143113.14434.5387.stgit@localhost.localdomainSigned-off-by:

So accessing raw data with an extended load instruction causes the SIGBUS. Resolve by using memcpy to a temporary variable of appropriate size. Signed-off-by: -

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: New user selectable features: - Support recording running/enabled time in 'perf record' (Andi Kleen) - New tool: 'perf data' for converting perf.data to other formats, initially for the CTF (Common Trace Format) from LTTng (Jiri Olsa, Sebastian Siewior) User visible changes: - Only insert blank duration bracket when tracing syscalls in 'perf trace' (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - Filter out the trace pid when no threads are specified in 'perf trace' (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - Add 'perf trace' man page entry for --event (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - Dump stack on segfaults in 'perf trace' (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) Infrastructure changes: - Introduce set_filter_pid and set_filter_pids methods in the evlist class (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - Some perf_session untanglement patches, removing the need to pass a perf_session instance for things that are related to evlists, so that tools that don't deal with perf.data files like trace in live mode can make use of the ordered_events class (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) Signed-off-by:

The recent build changes cause perf to not compile for sparc64 since the arch/sparc64/Build file does not exist: /home/dahern/kernels/linux.git/tools/build/Makefile.build:40: arch/sparc64/Build: No such file or directory Fix by converting the sparc64 RAW_ARCH to sparc ARCH -- similar to what is done for x86_64.

perf-top is terminating due to SIGBUS on sparc64. git bisect points to: commit 82396986 Author: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Date: Mon Sep 8 13:26:35 2014 -0300 perf evlist: Refcount mmaps We need to know how many fds are using a perf mmap via PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT, so that we can know when to ditch an mmap, refcount it. This commit added 'int refcnt' to struct perf_mmap and the addition makes the event_copy element no longer 8-byte aligned. Fix by adding __attribute__((aligned(8))) to the event_copy struct member.

Commit f6edb53c converted the probe to a CPU wide event first (pid == -1). For kernels that do not support the PERF_FLAG_FD_CLOEXEC flag the probe fails with EINVAL. Since this errno is not handled pid is not reset to 0 and the subsequent use of pid = -1 as an argument brings in an additional failure path if perf_event_paranoid > 0: $ perf record -- sleep 1 perf_event_open(..., 0) failed unexpectedly with error 13 (Permission denied) [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.007 MB /tmp/perf.data (11 samples) ] Also, ensure the fd of the confirmation check is closed and comment why pid = -1 is used. Needs to go to 3.18 stable tree as well. Signed-off-by:

Some of the tracers bring their own id or pid fields and we can end up having two of them. This patch adds a "perf_" prefix to the 'generic' fields so we avoid a clash of the member names. The change is visible in the babeltrace output: Before: $ babeltrace ./ctf-data/ [03:19:13.962131936] (+0.000001935) cycles: { }, { ip = 0xFFFFFFFF8105443A, tid = 20714, pid = 20714, period = 8 } [03:19:13.962133732] (+0.000001796) cycles: { }, { ip = 0xFFFFFFFF8105443A, tid = 20714, pid = 20714, period = 114 } ...
