perf report/top TUI: Fix title line formatting

2020-04-03T12:37:55+00:00

In d10ec006dcd7 ("perf hists browser: Allow passing an initial hotkey")
the hist_entry__title() call was cut'n'pasted to a function where the
'title' variable is a pointer, not an array, so the sizeof(title)
continues syntactically valid but ends up reducing the real size of the
buffer where to format the first line in the screen to 8 bytes, which
makes the formatting at the title at each refresh to produce just the
string "Samples ", duh, fix it by passing the size of the buffer.

perf report/top TUI: Support hotkeys to let user select any event for sorting

2020-03-24T12:37:27+00:00

When performing "perf report --group", it shows the event group information
together. In previous patch, we have supported a new option "--group-sort-idx"
to sort the output by the event at the index n in event group.

It would be nice if we can use a hotkey in browser to select a event
to sort.

For example,

  # perf report --group

 Samples: 12K of events 'cpu/instructions,period=2000003/, cpu/cpu-cycles,period=200003/, ...
                        Overhead  Command    Shared Object            Symbol

 This improvement is added to v6.

 v2:
 ---
 1. Report warning at helpline when index is invalid.
 2. Report warning at helpline when it's not group event.
 3. Use "case '0' ... '9'" to refine the code
 4. Split K_RELOAD implementation to another patch.

perf report: Support a new key to reload the browser

2020-03-24T12:37:27+00:00

Sometimes we may need to reload the browser to update the output since
some options are changed.

This patch creates a new key K_RELOAD. Once the __cmd_report() returns
K_RELOAD, it would repeat the whole process, such as, read samples from
data file, sort the data and display in the browser.

 v5:
 ---
 1. Fix the 'make NO_SLANG=1' error. Define K_RELOAD in util/hist.h.
 2. Skip setup_sorting() in repeat path if last key is K_RELOAD.

 v4:
 ---
 Need to quit in perf_evsel_menu__run if key is K_RELOAD.

perf report: Allow specifying event to be used as sort key in --group output

2020-03-24T12:37:27+00:00

When performing "perf report --group", it shows the event group
information together. By default, the output is sorted by the first
event in group.

It would be nice for user to select any event for sorting. This patch
introduces a new option "--group-sort-idx" to sort the output by the
event at the index n in event group.

For example,

Now the output is sorted by the fourth event in group.

 v7:
 ---
 Rebase to latest perf/core, no other change.

 v4:
 ---
 1. Update Documentation/perf-report.txt to mention
    '--group-sort-idx' support multiple groups with different
    amount of events and it should be used on grouped events.

 2. Update __hpp__group_sort_idx(), just return when the
    idx is out of limit.

 3. Return failure on symbol_conf.group_sort_idx && !session->evlist->nr_groups.
    So now we don't need to use together with --group.

 v3:
 ---
 Refine the code in __hpp__group_sort_idx().

 Before:
   for (i = 1; i < nr_members; i++) {
        if (i == idx) {
                ret = field_cmp(fields_a[i], fields_b[i]);
                if (ret)
                        goto out;
        }
   }

 After:
   if (idx >= 1 && idx < nr_members) {
        ret = field_cmp(fields_a[idx], fields_b[idx]);
        if (ret)
                goto out;
   }

perf report/top TUI: Support hotkey 'a' for annotation of unresolved addresses

2020-03-24T12:37:27+00:00

In previous patch, we have supported the annotation functionality even
without symbols.

For this patch, it supports the hotkey 'a' on address in report view.
Note that, for branch mode, we only support the annotation for "branch
to" address.

perf report: Support interactive annotation of code without symbols

2020-03-24T12:36:33+00:00

For perf report on stripped binaries it is currently impossible to do
annotation. The annotation state is all tied to symbols, but there are
either no symbols, or symbols are not covering all the code.

We should support the annotation functionality even without symbols.

This patch fakes a symbol and the symbol name is the string of address.
After that, we just follow current annotation working flow.

For example,

1. perf report

  Overhead  Command  Shared Object     Symbol
    20.67%  div      libc-2.27.so      [.] __random_r
    17.29%  div      libc-2.27.so      [.] __random
    10.59%  div      div               [.] 0x0000000000000628
     9.25%  div      div               [.] 0x0000000000000612
     6.11%  div      div               [.] 0x0000000000000645

2. Select the line of "10.59%  div      div               [.] 0x0000000000000628" and ENTER.

  Annotate 0x0000000000000628
  Zoom into div thread
  Zoom into div DSO (use the 'k' hotkey to zoom directly into the kernel)
  Browse map details
  Run scripts for samples of symbol [0x0000000000000628]
  Run scripts for all samples
  Switch to another data file in PWD
  Exit

3. Select the "Annotate 0x0000000000000628" and ENTER.

Percent│
       │
       │
       │     Disassembly of section .text:
       │
       │     0000000000000628 <.text+0x68>:
       │       divsd %xmm4,%xmm0
       │       divsd %xmm3,%xmm1
       │       movsd (%rsp),%xmm2
       │       addsd %xmm1,%xmm0
       │       addsd %xmm2,%xmm0
       │       movsd %xmm0,(%rsp)

Now we can see the dump of object starting from 0x628.

 v5:
 ---
 Remove the hotkey 'a' implementation from this patch. It
 will be moved to a separate patch.

 v4:
 ---
 1. Support the hotkey 'a'. When we press 'a' on address,
    now it supports the annotation.

 2. Change the patch title from
    "Support interactive annotation of code without symbols" to
    "perf report: Support interactive annotation of code without symbols"

 v3:
 ---
 Keep just the ANNOTATION_DUMMY_LEN, and remove the
 opts->annotate_dummy_len since it's the "maybe in future
 we will provide" feature.

 v2:
 ---
 Fix a crash issue when annotating an address in "unknown" object.

 The steps to reproduce this issue:

 perf record -e cycles:u ls
 perf report

    75.29%  ls       ld-2.27.so        [.] do_lookup_x
    23.64%  ls       ld-2.27.so        [.] __GI___tunables_init
     1.04%  ls       [unknown]         [k] 0xffffffff85c01210
     0.03%  ls       ld-2.27.so        [.] _start

 When annotating 0xffffffff85c01210, the crash happens.

 v2 adds checking for ms->map in add_annotate_opt(). If the object is
 "unknown", ms->map is NULL.

Committer notes:

Renamed new_annotate_sym() to symbol__new_unresolved().

Use PRIx64 to fix this issue in some 32-bit arches:

  ui/browsers/hists.c: In function 'symbol__new_unresolved':
  ui/browsers/hists.c:2474:38: error: format '%lx' expects argument of type 'long unsigned int', but argument 5 has type 'u64' {aka 'long long unsigned int'} [-Werror=format=]
    snprintf(name, sizeof(name), "%-#.*lx", BITS_PER_LONG / 4, addr);

perf annotate: Fix --show-nr-samples for tui/stdio2

2020-02-27T13:44:48+00:00

perf annotate --show-nr-samples does not really show number of samples.

The reason is we have two separate variables for the same purpose.

One is in symbol_conf.show_nr_samples and another is
annotation_options.show_nr_samples.

We save command line option in symbol_conf.show_nr_samples but uses
annotation_option.show_nr_samples while rendering tui/stdio2 browser.

Though, we copy symbol_conf.show_nr_samples to
annotation__default_options.show_nr_samples but that is not really
effective as we don't use annotation__default_options once we copy
default options to dynamic variable annotate.opts in cmd_annotate().

Instead of all these complication, keep only one variable and use it all
over. symbol_conf.show_nr_samples is used by perf report/top as well. So
let's kill annotation_options.show_nr_samples.

On a side note, I've kept annotation_options.show_nr_samples definition
because it's still used by perf-config code. Follow up patch to fix
perf-config for annotate will remove annotation_options.show_nr_samples.
