perf tools: Check vmlinux/kallsyms arguments in all tools

2021-11-07T15:27:38+00:00

Only perf report checked the validity of these arguments so apply the
same check to all tools that read them for consistency.

perf script: Fix PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT support

2021-10-31T15:51:41+00:00

-F weight in perf script is broken.

  # ./perf mem record
  # ./perf script -F weight
  Samples for 'dummy:HG' event do not have WEIGHT attribute set. Cannot
print 'weight' field.

The sample type, PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT, is an alternative of the
PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT sample type. They share the same space, weight. The
lower 32 bits are exactly the same for both sample type. The higher 32
bits may be different for different architecture. For a new kernel on
x86, the PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT is used. For an old kernel or other
ARCHs, the PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT is used.

With -F weight, current perf script will only check the input string
"weight" with the PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT sample type. Because the commit
ea8d0ed6eae3 ("perf tools: Support PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT") didn't
update the PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT sample type for perf script. For a
new kernel on x86, the check fails.

Use PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_TYPE, which supports both sample types, to
replace PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT

perf script: Check session->header.env.arch before using it

2021-10-31T15:51:41+00:00

When perf.data is not written cleanly, we would like to process existing
data as much as possible (please see f_header.data.size == 0 condition
in perf_session__read_header). However, perf.data with partial data may
crash perf. Specifically, we see crash in 'perf script' for NULL
session->header.env.arch.

Fix this by checking session->header.env.arch before using it to determine
native_arch. Also split the if condition so it is easier to read.

Committer notes:

If it is a pipe, we already assume is a native arch, so no need to check
session->header.env.arch.

perf script: Support instruction latency

2021-10-28T12:28:03+00:00

The instruction latency information can be recorded on
some platforms, e.g., the Intel Sapphire Rapids server. With both memory
latency (weight) and the new instruction latency information, users can
easily locate the expensive load instructions, and also understand the time
spent in different stages. The users can optimize their applications in
different pipeline stages.

Add a new field "ins_lat" to filter the instruction latency information,
which is available with sample type PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT.

perf script: Fix ip display when type != attr->type

2021-09-18T20:43:05+00:00

set_print_ip_opts() was not being called when type != attr->type
because there is not a one-to-one relationship between output types
and attr->type. That resulted in ip not printing.

The attr_type() function is removed, and the match of attr->type to
output type is corrected.

Example on ADL using taskset to select an atom cpu:

 # perf record -e cpu_atom/cpu-cycles/ taskset 0x1000 uname
 Linux
 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
 [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.003 MB perf.data (7 samples) ]

perf script python: Allow reporting the [un]throttle PERF_RECORD_ meta event

2021-09-03T11:18:25+00:00

perf_events may sometimes throttle an event due to creating too many
samples during a given timer tick.

As of now, the perf tool will not report on throttling, which means this
is a silent error.

Implement a callback for the throttle and unthrottle events within the
Python scripting engine, which can allow scripts to detect and report
when events may have been lost due to throttling.

The simplest script to report throttle events is:

  def throttle(*args):
      print("throttle" + repr(args))

  def unthrottle(*args):
      print("unthrottle" + repr(args))

perf tools: Remove repipe argument from perf_session__new()

2021-08-02T13:06:51+00:00

The repipe argument is only used by perf inject and the all others
passes 'false'.  Let's remove it from the function signature and add
__perf_session__new() to be called from perf inject directly.

This is a preparation of the change the pipe input/output.
