fc18380fb perf script: Display negative tid in non-sample events ... Browse Code »

The kernel can release tasks while they are still running. This can
result in a task having no tid, in which case perf records a tid of -1.
Improve the perf script output in that case.

Example:

Before:

# cat ./autoreap.c

#include
#include
#include
#include

struct sigaction act = {
.sa_handler = SIG_IGN,
};

int main()
{
pid_t child;
int status = 0;

sigaction(SIGCHLD, &act, NULL);
child = fork();
if (child == 0)
return 123;
wait(&status);
return 0;
}

# gcc -o autoreap autoreap.c
# ./perf record -a -e dummy --switch-events ./autoreap
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.948 MB perf.data ]
# ./perf script --show-task-events --show-switch-events | grep -C2 'autoreap\|4294967295\|-1'

7eeb9855c perf script: Show text poke address symbol ... Browse Code »

It is generally more useful to show the symbol with an address. In this
case, the print function requires the 'machine' which means changing
callers to provide it as a parameter. It is optional because most events
do not need it and the callers that matter can provide it.

Committer notes:

Made 'union perf_event' continue to be the first parameter to the
perf_event__fprintf() and perf_event__fprintf_text_poke() events.

Consistent with other new events, add an option to perf script to
display text poke events and ksymbol events. Both text poke events and
ksymbol events are displayed because some text pokes (e.g. ftrace
trampolines) have corresponding ksymbol events.

add07ccd9 perf intel-pt: Fix displaying PEBS-via-PT with registers ... Browse Code »

After recording PEBS-via-PT, perf script will not accept 'iregs' field e.g.

...
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.062 MB perf.data ]
# ./perf script --itrace=eop -F+iregs
Samples for 'dummy:u' event do not have IREGS attribute set. Cannot print 'iregs' field.

Fix by using allow_user_set, which is true when recording AUX area data.

8c3e05c82 perf script: Don't force less for non tty output with --xed ... Browse Code »

--xed currently forces less. When piping the output to other scripts
this can waste a lot of CPU time because less is rather slow.
I've seen it using up a full core on its own in a pipeline.
Only force less when the output is actually a terminal.

6549a8c0c perf tools: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array ... Browse Code »

The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array
member[1][2], introduced in C99:

struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo array[];
};

By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning in
case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which will
help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.

Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by this
change:

"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]

sizeof(flexible-array-member) triggers a warning because flexible array
members have incomplete type[1]. There are some instances of code in
which the sizeof operator is being incorrectly/erroneously applied to
zero-length arrays and the result is zero. Such instances may be hiding
some bugs. So, this work (flexible-array member conversions) will also
help to get completely rid of those sorts of issues.

This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

0d71a2b24 perf callchain: Setup callchain properly in pipe mode ... Browse Code »

Callchains are automatically initialized by checking on event's
sample_type. For pipe mode we need to put this check into attr event
code.

Moving the callchains setup code into callchain_param_setup function and
calling it from attr event process code.

This enables pipe output having callchains, like:

# perf record -g -e 'raw_syscalls:sys_enter' true | perf script
# perf record -g -e 'raw_syscalls:sys_enter' true | perf report

Committer notes:

We still need the next patch for the above output to work.

fad1f1e7d perf script: Remove extraneous newline in perf_sample__fprintf_regs() ... Browse Code »

When printing iregs, there was a double newline printed because
perf_sample__fprintf_regs() was printing its own and then at the end of
all fields, perf script was adding one. This was causing blank line in
the output:

Before:

$ perf script -Fip,iregs
401b8d ABI:2 DX:0x100 SI:0x4a8340 DI:0x4a9340

401b8d ABI:2 DX:0x100 SI:0x4a9340 DI:0x4a8340

401b8d ABI:2 DX:0x100 SI:0x4a8340 DI:0x4a9340

401b8d ABI:2 DX:0x100 SI:0x4a9340 DI:0x4a8340

After:

$ perf script -Fip,iregs
401b8d ABI:2 DX:0x100 SI:0x4a8340 DI:0x4a9340
401b8d ABI:2 DX:0x100 SI:0x4a9340 DI:0x4a8340
401b8d ABI:2 DX:0x100 SI:0x4a8340 DI:0x4a9340

Committer testing:

First we need to figure out how to request that registers be recorded,
so we use:

# perf record -h reg

Usage: perf record [] []
or: perf record [] -- []

-I, --intr-regs[=]
sample selected machine registers on interrupt, use '-I?' to list register names
--buildid-all Record build-id of all DSOs regardless of hits
--user-regs[=]
sample selected machine registers on interrupt, use '--user-regs=?' to list register names

#

Ok, now lets ask for them all:

# perf record -a --intr-regs --user-regs sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 4.105 MB perf.data (2760 samples) ]
#

Lets look at the first 6 output lines:

# perf script -Fip,iregs | head -6

To see it more clearly, lets get just two of those registers by sample:

# perf record -a --intr-regs=ax,bx --user-regs=cx,dx sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 3.502 MB perf.data (1653 samples) ]
#

Extra info, lets see what gets setup in that 'struct perf_event_attr':

# perf evlist -v
cycles: size: 120, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|CPU|PERIOD|REGS_USER|REGS_INTR, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, task: 1, precise_ip: 2, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1, ksymbol: 1, bpf_event: 1, sample_regs_user: 0xc, sample_regs_intr: 0x3
#

Cook, some PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_USER|PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_INTR +
attr.sample_regs_user and attr.sample_regs_intr register masks, now lets
see if those newlines are gone in a more compact fashion:

680d125cd perf script: Add option to enable the LBR stitching approach ... Browse Code »

With the LBR stitching approach, the reconstructed LBR call stack can
break the HW limitation. However, it may reconstruct invalid call stacks
in some cases, e.g. exception handing such as setjmp/longjmp. Also, it
may impact the processing time especially when the number of samples
with stitched LBRs are huge.

Add an option to enable the approach.

Committer testing:

Using the same perf.data as with the latest cset committer testing
section:

Example:
# perf record --switch-events -a -e cycles -c 10000 sleep 1
Before:
# perf script --show-task-events --show-namespace-events --show-cgroup-events --show-mmap-events --show-switch-events --show-lost-events --show-bpf-events > out-before.txt
After:
# perf script --show-task-events --show-namespace-events --show-cgroup-events --show-mmap-events --show-switch-events --show-lost-events --show-bpf-events > out-after.txt
# diff -s out-before.txt out-after.txt

26567ed79 perf script: Introduce --deltatime option ... Browse Code »

For some kind of analysis a deltatime output is more human friendly and
reduce the cognitive load for further analysis.

The following output demonstrate the new option "deltatime": calculate
the time difference in relation to the previous event.

So go from default output to --reltime and then this new --deltatime, to
contrast the various timestamp presentation modes for a random perf.data file I
had laying around:

Andi suggested we better implement it as a new field, i.e. -F deltatime, like:

[root@five ~]# perf script -F deltatime
Invalid field requested.

Usage: perf script []
or: perf script [] record ]
or: perf script [] report ] ]
or: perf script [] [script-args]

-F, --fields comma separated output fields prepend with 'type:'. +field to add and -field to remove.Valid types: hw,sw,trace,raw,synth. Fields: comm,tid,pid,time,cpu,event,trace,ip,sym,dso,addr,symoff,srcline,period,iregs,uregs,brstack,brstacksym,flags,bpf-output,brstackinsn,brstackoff,callindent,insn,insnlen,synth,phys_addr,metric,misc,ipc
[root@five ~]#

I.e. we have -F for maximum flexibility:

[root@five ~]# perf script -F comm,pid,cpu,time | head
perf 442394 [000] 7600.157861:
perf 442394 [000] 7600.157864:
perf 442394 [000] 7600.157866:
perf 442394 [000] 7600.157867:
perf 442394 [000] 7600.157870:
perf 442394 [001] 7600.157897:
perf 442394 [001] 7600.157900:

perf 442394 [001] 7600.157903:
perf 442394 [001] 7600.157906:
[root@five ~]#

But since we already have --reltime, having --deltatime, documented one after
the other is sensible.

be recorded in a sample with PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_HW_INDEX
branch_sample_type. Extend struct branch_stack to support it.

However, if the PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_HW_INDEX is not applied, only nr and
entries[] will be output by kernel. The pointer of entries[] could be
wrong, since the output format is different with new struct
branch_stack. Add a variable no_hw_idx in struct perf_sample to
indicate whether the hw_idx is output. Add get_branch_entry() to return
corresponding pointer of entries[0].

To make dummy branch sample consistent as new branch sample, add hw_idx
in struct dummy_branch_stack for cs-etm and intel-pt.

Apply the new struct branch_stack for synthetic events as well.

Extend test case sample-parsing to support new struct branch_stack.

Committer notes:

Renamed get_branch_entries() to perf_sample__branch_entries() to have
proper namespacing and pave the way for this to be moved to libperf,
eventually.

Add 'static' to that inline as it is in a header.

Add 'hw_idx' to 'struct dummy_branch_stack' in cs-etm.c to fix the build
on arm64.

5172672da perf script: Fix invalid LBR/binary mismatch error ... Browse Code »

The 'len' returned by grab_bb() includes an extra MAXINSN bytes to allow
for the last instruction, so the the final 'offs' will not be 'len'.
Fix the error condition logic accordingly.

0cd032d3b perf script: Fix brstackinsn for AUXTRACE ... Browse Code »

brstackinsn must be allowed to be set by the user when AUX area data has
been captured because, in that case, the branch stack might be
synthesized on the fly. This fixes the following error:

b3509b6ed perf script: Fix --reltime with --time ... Browse Code »

My earlier patch to just enable --reltime with --time was a little too
optimistic. The --time parsing would accept absolute time, which is
very confusing to the user.

Support relative time in --time parsing too. This only works with recent
perf record that records the first sample time. Otherwise we error out.

3714437d3 perf script: Allow --time with --reltime ... Browse Code »

The original --reltime patch forbid --time with --reltime.

But it turns out --time doesn't really care about --reltime, because the
relative time is only used at final output, while the time filtering
always works earlier on absolute time.

So just remove the check and allow combining the two options.

e98df280b perf script brstackinsn: Fix recovery from LBR/binary mismatch ... Browse Code »

When the LBR data and the instructions in a binary do not match the loop
printing instructions could get confused and print a long stream of
bogus instructions.

The problem was that if the instruction decoder cannot decode an
instruction it ilen wasn't initialized, so the loop going through the
basic block would continue with the previous value.

Harden the code to avoid such problems:

- Make sure ilen is always freshly initialized and is 0 for bad
instructions.

- Do not overrun the code buffer while printing instructions

- Print a warning message if the final jump is not on an instruction
boundary.

ca1252779 perf evsel: Introduce evsel_fprintf.h ... Browse Code »

We already had evsel_fprintf.c, add its counterpart, so that we can
reduce evsel.h a bit more.

We needed a new perf_event_attr_fprintf.c file so as to have a separate
object to link with the python binding in tools/perf/util/python-ext-sources
and not drag symbol_conf, etc into the python binding.

6ef81c55a perf session: Return error code for perf_session__new() function on failure ... Browse Code »

This patch is to return error code of perf_new_session function on
failure instead of NULL.

Test Results:

Before Fix:

$ perf c2c report -input
failed to open nput: No such file or directory

$ echo $?
0
$

After Fix:

$ perf c2c report -input
failed to open nput: No such file or directory

$ echo $?
254
$

Committer notes:

Fix 'perf tests topology' case, where we use that TEST_ASSERT_VAL(...,
session), i.e. we need to pass zero in case of failure, which was the
case before when NULL was returned by perf_session__new() for failure,
but now we need to negate the result of IS_ERR(session) to respect that
TEST_ASSERT_VAL) expectation of zero meaning failure.

providing includes needed indirectly, fixup this fallout.
