libperf: Move to tools/lib/perf

2020-01-06T14:46:09+00:00

Move libperf from its current location under tools/perf to a separate
directory under tools/lib/.

Also change various paths (mainly includes) to reflect the libperf move
to a separate directory and add a new directory under MANIFEST.

perf tools: Allow to link with libbpf dynamicaly

2019-11-26T14:17:45+00:00

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

The libbpf package status is displayed with:

  $ make VF=1
  Auto-detecting system features:
  ...
  ...                        libbpf: [ on  ]

It's not checked by default, because it's quite new.  Once it's on most
distros we can switch it on.

For the same reason it's not added to the test-all check.

Perf does not need advanced version of libbpf, so we can check just for
the base bpf_object__open function.

Adding new compile variable to detect libbpf package and link bpf
dynamically:

  $ make LIBBPF_DYNAMIC=1
    ...
    LINK     perf
  $ ldd perf | grep bpf
    libbpf.so.0 => /lib64/libbpf.so.0 (0x00007f46818bc000)

If libbpf is not installed, build stops with:

  Makefile.config:486: *** Error: No libbpf devel library found,\
  please install libbpf-devel.  Stop.

Committer testing:

  $ make LIBBPF_DYNAMIC=1 -C tools/perf O=/tmp/build/perf
  make: Entering directory '/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf'
    BUILD:   Doing 'make -j8' parallel build
  Makefile.config:493: *** Error: No libbpf devel library found, please install libbpf-devel.  Stop.

libbeauty: Hook up the x86 irq_vectors table generator

2019-10-15T18:48:50+00:00

I.e. after running:

  $ make -C tools/perf O=/tmp/build/perf

We end up with:

  $ cat /tmp/build/perf/trace/beauty/generated/x86_arch_irq_vectors_array.c
  static const char *x86_irq_vectors[] = {
  	[0x02] = "NMI",
  	[0x12] = "MCE",
  	[0x20] = "IRQ_MOVE_CLEANUP",
  	[0x80] = "IA32_SYSCALL",
  	[0xec] = "LOCAL_TIMER",
  	[0xed] = "HYPERV_STIMER0",
  	[0xee] = "HYPERV_REENLIGHTENMENT",
  	[0xef] = "MANAGED_IRQ_SHUTDOWN",
  	[0xf0] = "POSTED_INTR_NESTED",
  	[0xf1] = "POSTED_INTR_WAKEUP",
  	[0xf2] = "POSTED_INTR",
  	[0xf3] = "HYPERVISOR_CALLBACK",
  	[0xf4] = "DEFERRED_ERROR",
  	[0xf6] = "IRQ_WORK",
  	[0xf7] = "X86_PLATFORM_IPI",
  	[0xf8] = "REBOOT",
  	[0xf9] = "THRESHOLD_APIC",
  	[0xfa] = "THERMAL_APIC",
  	[0xfb] = "CALL_FUNCTION_SINGLE",
  	[0xfc] = "CALL_FUNCTION",
  	[0xfd] = "RESCHEDULE",
  	[0xfe] = "ERROR_APIC",
  	[0xff] = "SPURIOUS_APIC",
  };
  $

Now its just a matter of using it, associating it to tracepoint arguments named
'vector', all of which can be correctly used with this table, for int args.

At some point we should move tools/perf/trace/beauty to tools/beauty/,
so that it can be used more generally and even made available externally
like libbpf, libperf, libtraceevent, etc.

perf tools: Allow to build with -ltcmalloc

2019-10-15T11:36:22+00:00

By using "make TCMALLOC=1" you can enable perf to be build for usage
with libtcmalloc.so (gperftools).

Get heap profile (tools/perf directory):

  $ 
  $ make TCMALLOC=1 DEBUG=1

  $ pprof ./perf /tmp/heapprof.000*

See callstack:
  $ pprof --pdf ./perf /tmp/heapprof.00* > callstack.pdf
  $ pprof --web ./perf /tmp/heapprof.00*

Committer testing:

Install gperftools, on fedora:

  # dnf install gperftools-devel

Then build:

 $ make TCMALLOC=1 DEBUG=1 -C tools/perf O=/tmp/build/perf install-bin

Verify that it linked against the right library:

  $ ldd ~/bin/perf | grep tcma
	libtcmalloc.so.4 => /lib64/libtcmalloc.so.4 (0x00007fb2953a7000)

perf tools: Propagate CFLAGS to libperf

2019-10-11T13:55:22+00:00

Andi reported that 'make DEBUG=1' does not propagate to the libbperf
code. It's true also for the other flags. Changing the code to propagate
the global build flags to libperf compilation.

perf beauty: Hook up the x86 MSR table generator

2019-10-09T14:23:52+00:00

This way we generate the source with the table for later use by plugins,
etc.

I.e. after running:

  $ make -C tools/perf O=/tmp/build/perf

We end up with:

  $ head /tmp/build/perf/trace/beauty/generated/x86_arch_MSRs_array.c
  static const char *x86_MSRs[] = {
  	[0x00000000] = "IA32_P5_MC_ADDR",
  	[0x00000001] = "IA32_P5_MC_TYPE",
  	[0x00000010] = "IA32_TSC",
  	[0x00000017] = "IA32_PLATFORM_ID",
  	[0x0000001b] = "IA32_APICBASE",
  	[0x00000020] = "KNC_PERFCTR0",
  	[0x00000021] = "KNC_PERFCTR1",
  	[0x00000028] = "KNC_EVNTSEL0",
  	[0x00000029] = "KNC_EVNTSEL1",
  $

Now its just a matter of using it, first in a libtracevent plugin.

At some point we should move tools/perf/trace/beauty to tools/beauty/,
so that it can be used more generally and even made available externally
like libbpf, libperf, libtraevent, etc.

libtraceevent: Move traceevent plugins in its own subdirectory

2019-09-25T12:51:43+00:00

All traceevent plugins code is moved to tools/lib/traceevent/plugins
subdirectory. It makes traceevent implementation in trace-cmd and in
kernel tree consistent. There is no changes in the way libtraceevent and
plugins are compiled and installed.

Committer notes:

Applied fixup provided by Steven, fixing the tools/perf/Makefile.perf
target for the plugin dynamic list file. Problem noticed when cross
building to aarch64 from a Ubuntu 19.04 container.
