This patch adds support for taken branch sampling, i.e, the PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK feature to perf report. In other words, to display histograms based on taken branches rather than executed instructions addresses. The new option is called -b and it takes no argument. To generate meaningful output, the perf.data must have been obtained using perf record -b xxx ... where xxx is a branch filter option. The output shows symbols, modules, sorted by 'who branches where' the most often. The percentages reported in the first column refer to the total number of branches captured and not the usual number of samples. Here is a quick example. Here branchy is simple test program which looks as follows: void f2(void) {} void f3(void) {} void f1(unsigned long n) { if (n & 1UL) f2(); else f3(); } int main(void) { unsigned long i; for (i=0; i < N; i++) f1(i); return 0; } Here is the output captured on Nehalem, if we are only interested in user level function calls. $ perf record -b any_call,u -e cycles:u branchy $ perf report -b --sort=symbol 52.34% [.] main [.] f1 24.04% [.] f1 [.] f3 23.60% [.] f1 [.] f2 0.01% [k] _IO_new_file_xsputn [k] _IO_file_overflow 0.01% [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal [k] _IO_new_file_xsputn 0.01% [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal [k] strchrnul 0.01% [k] __printf [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal 0.01% [k] main [k] __printf About half (52%) of the call branches captured are from main() -> f1(). The second half (24%+23%) is split in two equal shares between f1() -> f2(), f1() ->f3(). The output is as expected given the code. It should be noted, that using -b in perf record does not eliminate information in the perf.data file. Consequently, a typical profile can also be obtained by perf report by simply not using its -b option. It is possible to sort on branch related columns: - dso_from, symbol_from - dso_to, symbol_to - mispredict Signed-off-by: Roberto Agostino Vitillo <ravitillo@lbl.gov> Signed-off-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Cc: peterz@infradead.org Cc: acme@redhat.com Cc: robert.richter@amd.com Cc: ming.m.lin@intel.com Cc: andi@firstfloor.org Cc: asharma@fb.com Cc: vweaver1@eecs.utk.edu Cc: khandual@linux.vnet.ibm.com Cc: dsahern@gmail.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1328826068-11713-14-git-send-email-eranian@google.comSigned-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

This patch adds a new option to enable taken branch stack sampling, i.e., leverage the PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK feature of perf_events. There is a new option to active this mode: -b. It is possible to pass a set of filters to select the type of branches to sample. The following filters are available: - any : any type of branches - any_call : any function call or system call - any_ret : any function return or system call return - any_ind : any indirect branch - u: only when the branch target is at the user level - k: only when the branch target is in the kernel - hv: only when the branch target is in the hypervisor Filters can be combined by passing a comma separated list to the option: $ perf record -b any_call,u -e cycles:u branchy Signed-off-by: Roberto Agostino Vitillo <ravitillo@lbl.gov> Signed-off-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Cc: peterz@infradead.org Cc: acme@redhat.com Cc: robert.richter@amd.com Cc: ming.m.lin@intel.com Cc: andi@firstfloor.org Cc: asharma@fb.com Cc: vweaver1@eecs.utk.edu Cc: khandual@linux.vnet.ibm.com Cc: dsahern@gmail.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1328826068-11713-13-git-send-email-eranian@google.comSigned-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

With branch stack sampling, it is possible to filter by priv levels. In system-wide mode, that means it is possible to capture only user level branches. The builtin SW LBR filter needs to disassemble code based on LBR captured addresses. For that, it needs to know the task the addresses are associated with. Because of context switches, the content of the branch stack buffer may contain addresses from different tasks. We need a callback on context switch to either flush the branch stack or save it. This patch adds a new callback in struct pmu which is called during context switches. The callback is called only when necessary. That is when a system-wide context has, at least, one event which uses PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK. The callback is never called for per-thread context. In this version, the Intel x86 code simply flushes (resets) the LBR on context switches (fills it with zeroes). Those zeroed branches are then filtered out by the SW filter.

This patch adds an internal sofware filter to complement the (optional) LBR hardware filter. The software filter is necessary: - as a substitute when there is no HW LBR filter (e.g., Atom, Core) - to complement HW LBR filter in case of errata (e.g., Nehalem/Westmere) - to provide finer grain filtering (e.g., all processors) Sometimes the LBR HW filter cannot distinguish between two types of branches. For instance, to capture syscall as CALLS, it is necessary to enable the LBR_FAR filter which will also capture JMP instructions. Thus, a second pass is necessary to filter those out, this is what the SW filter can do. The SW filter is built on top of the internal x86 disassembler. It is a best effort filter especially for user level code. It is subject to the availability of the text page of the program. The SW filter is enabled on all Intel processors. It is bypassed when the user is capturing all branches at all priv levels.

The patch adds a restriction for Intel Atom LBR support. Only steppings 10 (PineView) and more recent are supported. Older models do not have a functional LBR. Their LBR does not freeze on PMU interrupt which makes LBR unusable in the context of perf_events.

If precise sampling is enabled on Intel x86 then perf_event uses PEBS. To correct for the off-by-one error of PEBS, perf_event uses LBR when precise_sample > 1. On Intel x86 PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK is implemented using LBR, therefore both features must be coordinated as they may not configure LBR the same way. For PEBS, LBR needs to capture all branches at the priv level of the associated event. This patch checks that the branch type and priv level of BRANCH_STACK is compatible with that of the PEBS LBR requirement, thereby allowing: $ perf record -b any,u -e instructions:upp .... But: $ perf record -b any_call,u -e instructions:upp Is not possible.

The Intel LBR on some recent processor is capable of filtering branches by type. The filter is configurable via the LBR_SELECT MSR register. There are limitation on how this register can be used. On Nehalem/Westmere, the LBR_SELECT is shared by the two HT threads when HT is on. It is private to each core when HT is off. On SandyBridge, the LBR_SELECT register is private to each thread when HT is on. It is private to each core when HT is off. The kernel must manage the sharing of LBR_SELECT. It allows multiple users on the same logical CPU to use LBR_SELECT as long as they program it with the same value. Across sibling CPUs (HT threads), the same restriction applies on NHM/WSM. This patch implements this sharing logic by leveraging the mechanism put in place for managing the offcore_response shared MSR. We modify __intel_shared_reg_get_constraints() to cause x86_get_event_constraint() to be called because LBR may be associated with events that may be counter constrained.

This patch adds the ability to sample taken branches to the perf_event interface. The ability to capture taken branches is very useful for all sorts of analysis. For instance, basic block profiling, call counts, statistical call graph. This new capability requires hardware assist and as such may not be available on all HW platforms. On Intel x86 it is implemented on top of the Last Branch Record (LBR) facility. To enable taken branches sampling, the PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK bit must be set in attr->sample_type. Sampled taken branches may be filtered by type and/or priv levels. The patch adds a new field, called branch_sample_type, to the perf_event_attr structure. It contains a bitmask of filters to apply to the sampled taken branches. Filters may be implemented in HW. If the HW filter does not exist or is not good enough, some arch may also implement a SW filter. The following generic filters are currently defined: - PERF_SAMPLE_USER only branches whose targets are at the user level - PERF_SAMPLE_KERNEL only branches whose targets are at the kernel level - PERF_SAMPLE_HV only branches whose targets are at the hypervisor level - PERF_SAMPLE_ANY any type of branches (subject to priv levels filters) - PERF_SAMPLE_ANY_CALL any call branches (may incl. syscall on some arch) - PERF_SAMPLE_ANY_RET any return branches (may incl. syscall returns on some arch) - PERF_SAMPLE_IND_CALL indirect call branches Obviously filter may be combined. The priv level bits are optional. If not provided, the priv level of the associated event are used. It is possible to collect branches at a priv level different from the associated event. Use of kernel, hv priv levels is subject to permissions and availability (hv). The number of taken branch records present in each sample may vary based on HW, the type of sampled branches, the executed code. Therefore each sample contains the number of taken branches it contains.

It turned out that a performance counter on AMD does not count at all when the GO or HO bit is set in the control register and SVM is disabled in EFER. This patch works around this issue by masking out the HO bit in the performance counter control register when SVM is not enabled. The GO bit is not touched because it is only set when the user wants to count in guest-mode only. So when SVM is disabled the counter should not run at all and the not-counting is the intended behaviour.

1) ICMP sockets leave err uninitialized but we try to return it for the unsupported MSG_OOB case, reported by Dave Jones. 2) Add new Zaurus device ID entries, from Dave Jones. 3) Pointer calculation in hso driver memset is wrong, from Dan Carpenter. 4) ks8851_probe() checks unsigned value as negative, fix also from Dan Carpenter. 5) Fix crashes in atl1c driver due to TX queue handling, from Eric Dumazet. I anticipate some TX side locking fixes coming in the near future for this driver as well. 6) The inline directive fix in Bluetooth which was breaking the build only with very new versions of GCC, from Johan Hedberg. 7) Fix crashes in the ATP CLIP code due to ARP cleanups this merge window, reported by Meelis Roos and fixed by Eric Dumazet. 8) JME driver doesn't flush RX FIFO correctly, from Guo-Fu Tseng. 9) Some ip6_route_output() callers test the return value for NULL, but this never happens as the convention is to return a dst entry with dst->error set. Fixes from RonQing Li. 10) Logitech Harmony 900 should be handled by zaurus driver not cdc_ether, update white lists and black lists accordingly. From Scott Talbert. 11) Receiving from certain kinds of devices there won't be a MAC header, so there is no MAC header to fixup in the IPSEC code, and if we try to do it we'll crash. Fix from Eric Dumazet. 12) Port type array indexing off-by-one in mlx4 driver, fix from Yevgeny Petrilin. 13) Fix regression in link-down handling in davinci_emac which causes all RX descriptors to be freed up and therefore RX to wedge completely, from Christian Riesch. 14) It took two attempts, but ctnetlink soft lockups seem to be cured now, from Pablo Neira Ayuso. 15) Endianness bug fix in ENIC driver, from Santosh Nayak. 16) The long ago conversion of the PPP fragmentation code over to abstracted SKB list handling wasn't perfect, once we get an out of sequence SKB we don't flush the rest of them like we should. From Ben McKeegan. 17) Fix regression of ->ip_summed initialization in sfc driver. From Ben Hutchings. 18) Bluetooth timeout mistakenly using msecs instead of jiffies, from Andrzej Kaczmarek. 19) Using _sync variant of work cancellation results in deadlocks, use the non _sync variants instead. From Andre Guedes. 20) Bluetooth rfcomm code had reference counting problems leading to crashes, fix from Octavian Purdila. 21) The conversion of netem over to classful qdisc handling added two bugs to netem_dequeue(), fixes from Eric Dumazet. 22) Missing pci_iounmap() in ATM Solos driver. Fix from Julia Lawall. 23) b44_pci_exit() should not have __exit tag since it's invoked from non-__exit code. From Nikola Pajkovsky. 24) The conversion of the neighbour hash tables over to RCU added a race, fixed here by adding the necessary reread of tbl->nht, fix from Michel Machado. 25) When we added VF (virtual function) attributes for network device dumps, this potentially bloats up the size of the dump of one network device such that the dump size is too large for the buffer allocated by properly written netlink applications. In particular, if you add 255 VFs to a network device, parts of GLIBC stop working. To fix this, we add an attribute that is used to turn on these extended portions of the network device dump. Sophisticaed applications like 'ip' that want to see this stuff will be changed to set the attribute, whereas things like GLIBC that don't care about VFs simply will not, and therefore won't be busted by the mere presence of VFs on a network device. Thanks to the tireless work of Greg Rose on this fix. * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net: (53 commits) sfc: Fix assignment of ip_summed for pre-allocated skbs ppp: fix 'ppp_mp_reconstruct bad seq' errors enic: Fix endianness bug. gre: fix spelling in comments netfilter: ctnetlink: fix soft lockup when netlink adds new entries (v2) Revert "netfilter: ctnetlink: fix soft lockup when netlink adds new entries" davinci_emac: Do not free all rx dma descriptors during init mlx4_core: Fixing array indexes when setting port types phy: IC+101G and PHY_HAS_INTERRUPT flag netdev/phy/icplus: Correct broken phy_init code ipsec: be careful of non existing mac headers Move Logitech Harmony 900 from cdc_ether to zaurus hso: memsetting wrong data in hso_get_count() netfilter: ip6_route_output() never returns NULL. ethernet/broadcom: ip6_route_output() never returns NULL. ipv6: ip6_route_output() never returns NULL. jme: Fix FIFO flush issue atm: clip: remove clip_tbl ipv4: ping: Fix recvmsg MSG_OOB error handling. rtnetlink: Fix problem with buffer allocation ...
