  • If we bring the recorded perf data together with kernel binary from another
    machine using:

    on server A:
    perf archive

    on server B:
    tar xjvf perf.data.tar.bz2 -C ~/.debug

    the build_id kernel dso is not properly recognized during the "perf report"
    command on server B.

    The reason is, that build_id dsos are added during the session initialization,
    while the kernel maps are created during the sample event processing.

    The machine__create_kernel_maps functions ends up creating new dso object for
    kernel, but it does not check if we already have one added by build_id
    processing.

    Also the build_id reading ABI quirk added in commit:

    - commit b25114817a73bbd2b84ce9dba02ee1ef8989a947
    perf build-id: Add quirk to deal with perf.data file format breakage

    populates the "struct build_id_event::pid" with 0, which
    is later interpreted as DEFAULT_GUEST_KERNEL_ID.

    This is not always correct, so it's better to guess the pid
    value based on the "struct build_id_event::header::misc" value.

    - Tested with data generated on x86 kernel version v2.6.34
    and reported back on x86_64 current kernel.
    - Not tested for guest kernel case.

    Note the problem stays for PERF_RECORD_MMAP events recorded by perf that
    does not use proper pid (HOST_KERNEL_ID/DEFAULT_GUEST_KERNEL_ID). They are
    misinterpreted within the current perf code. Probably there's not much we
    can do about that.

  • Adding install-python_ext target to install python extension related
    files. Installation directory is governed by python distutils package
    and follows the DESTDIR variable settings.

    Also moving python extension build output into '$(O)python_ext_build'
    directory and making it configurable via PYTHON_EXTBUILD variable.

    Keeping the '$(O)python/perf.so' file, so it could be used for testing

  • In addition to /etc/perfconfig and $HOME/.perfconfig, perf looks for
    configuration in the file ./config, imitating git which looks at
    $GIT_DIR/config. If ./config is not a perf configuration file, it
    fails, or worse, treats it as a configuration file and changes behavior
    in some unexpected way.

    "config" is not an unusual name for a file to be lying around and perf
    does not have a private directory dedicated for its own use, so let's
    just stop looking for configuration in the cwd. Callers needing
    context-sensitive configuration can use the PERF_CONFIG environment
    variable.

  • So that we get a proper warning in the TUI in cases like:

    $ perf report --stdio -g fractal,0.5,caller --sort pid
    Selected -g but no callchain data. Did you call 'perf record' without -g?
    $

    The --stdio case is ok because it uses fprintf, ui__warning is needed to
    figure out if --stdio or --tui is being used.

  • The perf_event_attr struct has two __u32's at the top and

    With this change I was able to analyze a perf.data collected in a
    32-bit PPC VM on an x86 system. I tested both 32-bit and 64-bit
    binaries for the Intel analysis side; both read the PPC perf.data
    file correctly.

    -v2:
    - changed the existing perf_event__attr_swap() to swap only elements
    of perf_event_attr and exported it for use in swapping the
    attributes in the file header
    - updated swap_ops used for processing events

  • Add "node" as a simple alias for NODE cache events.

    The addition of NODE cache events broke the parse_alias
    function, so any mismatched event caused the segfault, like:

    # ./perf stat -e krava ls

    The hw_cache/hw_cache_op/hw_cache_result arrays needs to follow
    PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_*MAX enums. Adding those MAXs to be size
    of those arrays, so possible ommision in future wil not lead to
    segfault.

    Adding read/write/prefetch as allowed operations for node cache

  • Support adding probes on offline kernel modules. This enables
    perf-probe to trace kernel-module init functions via perf-probe.
    If user gives the path of module with -m option, perf-probe
    expects the module is offline.
    This feature works with --add, --funcs, and --vars.

    E.g)
    # perf probe -m /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/fs/btrfs/btrfs.ko \
    -a "extent_io_init:5 extent_state_cache"
    Add new events:
    probe:extent_io_init (on extent_io_init:5 with extent_state_cache)
    probe:extent_io_init_1 (on extent_io_init:5 with extent_state_cache)

    You can now use it on all perf tools, such as:

    perf record -e probe:extent_io_init_1 -aR sleep 1

  • Add an option to perf report/annotate/script to specify which
    CPUs to operate on. This enables us to take a single system wide
    profile and analyse each CPU (or group of CPUs) in isolation.

    This was useful when profiling a multiprocess workload where the
    bottleneck was on one CPU but this was hidden in the overall
    profile. Per process and per thread breakdowns didn't help
    because multiple processes were running on each CPU and no
    single process consumed an entire CPU.

    The patch converts the list of CPUs returned by cpu_map__new
    into a bitmap for fast lookup. I wanted to use -C to be
    consistent with perf top/record/stat, but unfortunately perf
    report already uses -C .

    v2: Incorporate suggestions from David Ahern:
    - Added -c to perf script
    - Check that SAMPLE_CPU is set when -c is used
    - Update documentation

    v3: Create perf_session__cpu_bitmap()

  • We don't need to display the parent field if the parent
    sorting machinery is only used for parent filtering
    (as in "-p foo").

    However if parent filtering is used in combination with
    explicit parent sorting ( -s parent), we want to
    display it.

    Result with:

    perf report -p kernel_thread -s parent

  • So that the parent sort dimension can be registered twice: once
    if we add it as an explicit sort dimension (-s parent) and twice
    if we request a parent filter (-p foo).

    We'll have only one parent sort dimension in the end but this
    allows to override the default parent filter with we gave in "-p"
    option. The goal of this is to prepare to allow the use of
    "-s parent" and "-p foo" at the same time, ie: sort by filtered
    parent.

  • As for newt ui, don't display entries that have been marked
    as ignored.

    The practical current effect of this is to make parent
    filtering really working. Before, entries that were ignored
    were given a null parent but were still displayed. This
    resulted in some weird effects:

    # Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol
    # ........ ........... ................. ............
    #
    ^A

    --- __lock_acquire
    |
    |--95.97%-- lock_acquire
    | |
    | |--30.75%-- _raw_spin_lock

    Discard these from the stdio display.

  • Add "caller/callee" option to support inverted butterfly report,
    in the inverted report (with caller option), the call graph start
    from the callee's ancestor. Users can use such view to catch system's
    performance bottleneck from a sysprof like view. Using this option
    with specified sort order like pid gives us high level view of call
    graph statistics.

    Also add "-G" alias for inverted call graph.
