perf trace: Fix the perf trace link location

2021-07-07T13:28:10+00:00

The install perf_dlfilter.h patch included what seems to be a typo in
the Makefile.perf, which changed the location of the trace link from
'$(DESTDIR_SQ)$(bindir_SQ)/trace' to '$(DESTDIR_SQ)$(dir_SQ)/trace'.

This reverts it back to the correct location.

perf stat: Enable BPF counter with --for-each-cgroup

2021-07-05T17:16:57+00:00

Recently bperf was added to use BPF to count perf events for various
purposes.  This is an extension for the approach and targetting to
cgroup usages.

Unlike the other bperf, it doesn't share the events with other
processes but it'd reduce unnecessary events (and the overhead of
multiplexing) for each monitored cgroup within the perf session.

When --for-each-cgroup is used with --bpf-counters, it will open
cgroup-switches event per cpu internally and attach the new BPF
program to read given perf_events and to aggregate the results for
cgroups.  It's only called when task is switched to a task in a
different cgroup.

Users of the --dlfilter option need to include perf_dlfilter.h

perf tools: Enable libtraceevent dynamic linking

2021-04-29T13:31:00+00:00

Currently we support only static linking with kernel's libtraceevent
(tools/lib/traceevent). This patch adds libtraceevent package detection
and support to link perf with it dynamically.

  The libtraceevent package status is displayed with:
  $ make VF=1 LIBTRACEEVENT_DYNAMIC=1
  ...
  ...                 libtraceevent: [ on  ]

Default behavior remains the same (static linking).

Committer testing:

  $ make LIBTRACEEVENT_DYNAMIC=1 VF=1 O=/tmp/build/perf -C tools/perf install-bin |& grep traceevent
  Makefile.config:1090: *** Error: No libtraceevent devel library found, please install libtraceevent-devel.  Stop.

perf stat: Enable iostat mode for x86 platforms

2021-04-20T11:40:20+00:00

This functionality is based on recently introduced sysfs attributes for
Intel® Xeon® Scalable processor family (code name Skylake-SP):

Commit bb42b3d39781d7fc ("perf/x86/intel/uncore: Expose an Uncore unit to IIO PMON mapping")

Mode is intended to provide four I/O performance metrics in MB per each
PCIe root port:

 - Inbound Read: I/O devices below root port read from the host memory
 - Inbound Write: I/O devices below root port write to the host memory
 - Outbound Read: CPU reads from I/O devices below root port
 - Outbound Write: CPU writes to I/O devices below root port

Each metric requiries only one uncore event which increments at every 4B
transfer in corresponding direction. The formulas to compute metrics
are generic:
    #EventCount * 4B / (1024 * 1024)

perf stat: Introduce 'bperf' to share hardware PMCs with BPF

2021-03-23T20:46:44+00:00

The perf tool uses performance monitoring counters (PMCs) to monitor
system performance. The PMCs are limited hardware resources. For
example, Intel CPUs have 3x fixed PMCs and 4x programmable PMCs per cpu.

Modern data center systems use these PMCs in many different ways: system
level monitoring, (maybe nested) container level monitoring, per process
monitoring, profiling (in sample mode), etc. In some cases, there are
more active perf_events than available hardware PMCs. To allow all
perf_events to have a chance to run, it is necessary to do expensive
time multiplexing of events.

On the other hand, many monitoring tools count the common metrics
(cycles, instructions). It is a waste to have multiple tools create
multiple perf_events of "cycles" and occupy multiple PMCs.

bperf tries to reduce such wastes by allowing multiple perf_events of
"cycles" or "instructions" (at different scopes) to share PMUs. Instead
of having each perf-stat session to read its own perf_events, bperf uses
BPF programs to read the perf_events and aggregate readings to BPF maps.
Then, the perf-stat session(s) reads the values from these BPF maps.

Please refer to the comment before the definition of bperf_ops for the
description of bperf architecture.

bperf is off by default. To enable it, pass --bpf-counters option to
perf-stat. bperf uses a BPF hashmap to share information about BPF
programs and maps used by bperf. This map is pinned to bpffs. The
default path is /sys/fs/bpf/perf_attr_map. The user could change the
path with option --bpf-attr-map.

Merge remote-tracking branch 'torvalds/master' into perf/core

2021-03-08T13:11:33+00:00

To pick up the fixes sent for v5.12 and continue development based on
v5.12-rc2, i.e. without the swap on file bug.

This also gets a slightly newer and better tools/perf/arch/arm/util/cs-etm.c
patch version, using the BIT() macro, that had already been slated to
v5.13 but ended up going to v5.12-rc1 on an older version.

perf build: Fix ccache usage in $(CC) when generating arch errno table

2021-03-06T19:54:26+00:00

This was introduced by commit e4ffd066ff440a57 ("perf: Normalize gcc
parameter when generating arch errno table").

Assuming the first word of $(CC) is the actual compiler breaks usage
like CC="ccache gcc": the script ends up calling ccache directly with
gcc arguments, what fails. Instead of getting the first word, just
remove from $(CC) any word that starts with a "-". This maintains the
spirit of the original patch, while not breaking ccache users.

perf build: Move feature cleanup under tools/build

2021-03-06T19:54:24+00:00

Arnaldo reported issue for following build command:

  $ rm -rf /tmp/krava; mkdir /tmp/krava; make O=/tmp/krava clean
    CLEAN    config
  /bin/sh: line 0: cd: /tmp/krava/feature/: No such file or directory
  ../../scripts/Makefile.include:17: *** output directory "/tmp/krava/feature/" does not exist.  Stop.
  make[1]: *** [Makefile.perf:1010: config-clean] Error 2
  make: *** [Makefile:90: clean] Error 2

The problem is that now that we include scripts/Makefile.include
in feature's Makefile (which is fine and needed), we need to ensure
the OUTPUT directory exists, before executing (out of tree) clean
command.

Removing the feature's cleanup from perf Makefile and fixing
feature's cleanup under build Makefile, so it now checks that
there's existing OUTPUT directory before calling the clean.
