perf auxtrace: Add CPU filter support

2017-06-30T14:50:55+00:00

Decoding auxtrace data can take a long time. To avoid decoding
unnecessarily, filter auxtrace data that is collected per-cpu before it is
decoded.

perf script: Add 'synth' event type for synthesized events

2017-06-27T15:03:09+00:00

Instruction trace decoders such as Intel PT may have additional information
recorded in the trace. For example, Intel PT has power information and a
there is a new instruction 'ptwrite' that can write a value into a PTWRITE
trace packet.

Such information may be associated with an IP and so can be treated as a
sample (PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE). Custom data can be incorporated in the
sample as raw_data (PERF_SAMPLE_RAW).

However a means of identifying the raw data format is needed. That will
be done by synthesizing an attribute for it.

So add an attribute type for custom synthesized events.  Different
synthesized events will be identified by the attribute 'config'.

Committer notes:

Start those PERF_TYPE_ after the PMU range, i.e. after (INT_MAX + 1U),
i.e. after perf_pmu_register() -> idr_alloc(end=0).

perf script: Support -F brstackoff,dso

2017-06-20T01:05:46+00:00

The idea here is to make AutoFDO easier in cloud environment with ASLR.
It's easiest to show how this is useful by example. I built a small test
akin to "while(1) { do_nothing(); }" where the do_nothing function is
loaded from a dso:

  $ cat burncpu.cpp
  #include 

  int main() {
    void* handle = dlopen("./dso.so", RTLD_LAZY);
    if (!handle) return -1;

    typedef void (*fp)();
    fp do_nothing = (fp) dlsym(handle, "do_nothing");

    while(1) {
      do_nothing();
    }
  }

  $ cat dso.cpp
  extern "C" void do_nothing() {}

  $ cat build.sh
  #!/bin/bash
  g++ -shared dso.cpp -o dso.so
  g++ burncpu.cpp -o burncpu -ldl

I sampled the execution of this program with perf record -b.

Using the existing "brstack,dso", we get absolute addresses that are
affected by ASLR, and could be different on different hosts. The address
does not uniquely identify a branch/target in the binary:

  $ perf script -F brstack,dso | sed 's/\/0 /\/0\n/g' | grep burncpu | grep dso.so | head -n 1
  0x7f967139b6aa(/tmp/burncpu/dso.so)/0x4006b1(/tmp/burncpu/exe)/P/-/-/0

Using the existing "brstacksym,dso" is a little better, because the
symbol plus offset and dso name *does* uniquely identify a branch/target
in the binary.  Ultimately, however, AutoFDO wants a simple offset into
the binary, so we'd have to undo all the work perf did to symbolize in
the first place:

  $ perf script -F brstacksym,dso | sed 's/\/0 /\/0\n/g' | grep burncpu | grep dso.so | head -n 1
  do_nothing+0x5(/tmp/burncpu/dso.so)/main+0x44(/tmp/burncpu/exe)/P/-/-/0

With the new "brstackoff,dso" we get what we need: a simple offset into a
specific dso/binary that uniquely identifies a branch/target:
  $ perf script -F brstackoff,dso | sed 's/\/0 /\/0\n/g' | grep burncpu | grep dso.so | head -n 1
  0x6aa(/tmp/burncpu/dso.so)/0x4006b1(/tmp/burncpu/exe)/P/-/-/0

perf script: Support -F brstack,dso and brstacksym,dso

2017-06-20T01:05:40+00:00

Perf script can report the dso for "addr" and "ip" fields.

This adds the same support for the "brstack" and "brstacksym" fields.
This can be helpful for AutoFDO: we can ignore LBR entries unless the
source and target address are both in the target module we are about to
build.

I built a small test akin to "while(1) { do_nothing(); }" where the
do_nothing function is loaded from a dso:

  $ cat burncpu.cpp
  #include 

  int main() {
    void* handle = dlopen("./dso.so", RTLD_LAZY);
    if (!handle) return -1;

    typedef void (*fp)();
    fp do_nothing = (fp) dlsym(handle, "do_nothing");

    while(1) {
      do_nothing();
    }
  }

  $ cat dso.cpp
  extern "C" void do_nothing() {}

  $ cat build.sh
  #!/bin/bash
  g++ -shared dso.cpp -o dso.so
  g++ burncpu.cpp -o burncpu -ldl

I sampled the execution with perf record -b.  Using the new perf script
functionality I can easily find cases where there was a transition from one
dso to another:

  $ perf record -a -b -- sleep 5
  [ perf record: Woken up 55 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 18.815 MB perf.data (43593 samples) ]

  $ perf script -F brstack,dso | sed 's/\/0 /\/0\n/g' | grep burncpu | grep dso.so | head -n 1
  0x7f967139b6aa(/tmp/burncpu/dso.so)/0x4006b1(/tmp/burncpu/exe)/P/-/-/0

  $ perf script -F brstacksym,dso | sed 's/\/0 /\/0\n/g' | grep burncpu | grep dso.so | head -n 1
  do_nothing+0x5(/tmp/burncpu/dso.so)/main+0x44(/tmp/burncpu/exe)/P/-/-/0

perf script: Allow adding and removing fields

2017-06-19T18:14:58+00:00

With 'perf script' it is common that we just want to add or remove a field.

Currently this requires figuring out the long list of default fields and
specifying them first, and then adding/removing the new field.

This patch adds a new + - syntax to merely add or remove fields,
that allows more succint and clearer command lines

For example to remove the comm field from PMU samples:

Previously

  $ perf script -F tid,cpu,time,event,sym,ip,dso,period | head -1
  swapper  0 [000] 504345.383126:          1 cycles:  ffffffff90060c66 native_write_msr ([kernel.kallsyms])

with the new syntax

  perf script -F -comm | head -1
  0 [000] 504345.383126:          1 cycles:  ffffffff90060c66 native_write_msr ([kernel.kallsyms])

The new syntax cannot be mixed with normal overriding.

v2: Fix example in description. Use tid vs pid. No functional changes.
v3: Don't skip initialization when user specified explicit type.
v4: Rebase. Remove empty line.

Committer testing:

  # perf record -a usleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.748 MB perf.data (14 samples) ]

Without a explicit field list specified via -F, defaults to:

  # perf script | head -2
      perf 6338 [000] 18467.058607: 1 cycles: ffffffff89060c36 native_write_msr (/lib/modules/4.11.0-rc8+/build/vmlinux)
   swapper    0 [001] 18467.058617: 1 cycles: ffffffff89060c36 native_write_msr (/lib/modules/4.11.0-rc8+/build/vmlinux)
  #

Which is equivalent to:

  # perf script -F comm,tid,cpu,time,period,event,ip,sym,dso | head -2
      perf 6338 [000] 18467.058607: 1 cycles: ffffffff89060c36 native_write_msr (/lib/modules/4.11.0-rc8+/build/vmlinux)
   swapper    0 [001] 18467.058617: 1 cycles: ffffffff89060c36 native_write_msr (/lib/modules/4.11.0-rc8+/build/vmlinux)
  #

So if we want to remove the comm, as in your original example, we would have to
figure out the default field list and remove ' comm' from it:

  # perf script -F tid,cpu,time,period,event,ip,sym,dso | head -2
   6338 [000] 18467.058607: 1 cycles: ffffffff89060c36 native_write_msr (/lib/modules/4.11.0-rc8+/build/vmlinux)
      0 [001] 18467.058617: 1 cycles: ffffffff89060c36 native_write_msr (/lib/modules/4.11.0-rc8+/build/vmlinux)
  #

With your patch this becomes simpler, one can remove fields by prefixing them
with '-':

  # perf script -F -comm | head -2
  6338 [000] 18467.058607: 1 cycles: ffffffff89060c36 native_write_msr (/lib/modules/4.11.0-rc8+/build/vmlinux)
     0 [001] 18467.058617: 1 cycles: ffffffff89060c36 native_write_msr (/lib/modules/4.11.0-rc8+/build/vmlinux)

perf script: Add --inline option for debugging

The --inline option is to show inlined functions in callchains.

  $ perf script

                     790 main (/home/namhyung/tmp/perf/a.out)
                   20511 __libc_start_main (/usr/lib/libc-2.25.so)
                     8ba _start (/home/namhyung/tmp/perf/a.out)
  ...

  $ perf script --inline
  a.out  5644 11611.467597:     309961 cycles:u:
                     790 main (/home/namhyung/tmp/perf/a.out)
                         std::__detail::_Adaptor, double>::operator()
                         std::uniform_real_distribution::operator() >
                         std::uniform_real_distribution::operator() >
                         main
                   20511 __libc_start_main (/usr/lib/libc-2.25.so)
