perf auxtrace: Support for perf report -D for s390

2018-08-03T13:34:18+00:00

Add initial support for s390 auxiliary traces using the CPU-Measurement
Sampling Facility.

Support and ignore PERF_REPORT_AUXTRACE_INFO records in the perf data
file. Later patches will show the contents of the auxiliary traces.

Setup the auxtrace queues and data structures for s390.  A raw dump of
the perf.data file now does not show an error when an auxtrace event is
encountered.

Output before:

  [root@s35lp76 perf]# ./perf report -D -i perf.data.auxtrace
  0x128 [0x10]: failed to process type: 70
  Error:

Additional notes about the underlying hardware and software
implementation, provided by Hendrik Brueckner (see Link: below).

=============================================================================

The CPU-Measurement Facility (CPU-MF) provides a set of functions to obtain
performance information on the mainframe.  Basically, it was introduced
with System z10 years ago for the z/Architecture, that means, 64-bit.
For Linux, there are two facilities of interest, counter facility and sampling
facility.  The counter facility provides hardware counters for instructions,
cycles, crypto-activities, and many more.

The sampling facility is a hardware sampler that when started will write
samples at a particular interval into a sampling buffer.  At some point,
for example, if a sample block is full, it generates an interrupt to collect
samples (while the sampler continues to run).

Few years ago, I started to provide the a perf PMU to use the counter
and sampling facilities.  Recently, the device driver was updated to also
"export" the sampling buffer into the AUX area.  Thomas now completed the
related perf work to interpret and process these AUX data.

If people are more interested in the sampling facility, they can have a
look into:

  http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=isg26fcd1cc32246f4c8852574ce0044734a

and to learn how-to use it for Linux on Z, have look at chapter 54,
"Using the CPU-measurement facilities" in the:

perf tools: Add mem2node object

2018-03-16T16:52:37+00:00

Adding mem2node object to allow the easy lookup of the node for the
physical address.

It has following interface:

  int  mem2node__init(struct mem2node *map, struct perf_env *env);
  void mem2node__exit(struct mem2node *map);
  int  mem2node__node(struct mem2node *map, u64 addr);

The mem2node__toolsinit initialize object from the perf data file
MEM_TOPOLOGY feature data. Following calls to mem2node__node will return
node number for given physical address. The mem2node__exit function
frees the object.

perf tools: Add decoder mechanic to support dumping trace data

2018-01-25T09:37:25+00:00

This patch adds the required interface to the openCSD library to support
dumping CoreSight trace packet using the "report --dump" command.  The
information conveyed is related to the type of packets gathered by a
trace session rather than full decoding.

perf trace: Remove audit-libs dependency if syscall tables are present

2018-01-23T12:51:38+00:00

Change the Makefile and build process to no longer require audit-libs
interfaces when the architecture provides system call tables.

Committer notes:

Its not enough to hook into the NO_LIBAUDIT makefile block, we need to
define a CONFIG_TRACE that gets selected by both architectures
generating the syscall tables from the kernel headers and from detecting
the availability of libaudit.

With that in place we will not link against libaudit even if the
necessary files are available for that, in fact we will not even try to
detect its availability, speeding up a bit the feature detection phase.

perf tools: Add ARM Statistical Profiling Extensions (SPE) support

2018-01-17T13:23:31+00:00

'perf record' and 'perf report --dump-raw-trace' supported in this
release.

Example usage:

 # perf record -e arm_spe/ts_enable=1,pa_enable=1/ dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null count=10000
 # perf report --dump-raw-trace

Note that the perf.data file is portable, so the report can be run on
another architecture host if necessary.

Output will contain raw SPE data and its textual representation, such
as:

Other release notes:

- applies to acme's perf/{core,urgent} branches, likely elsewhere

- Report is self-contained within the tool.
  Record requires enabling the kernel SPE driver by
  setting CONFIG_ARM_SPE_PMU.

- The intel-bts implementation was used as a starting point; its
  min/default/max buffer sizes and power of 2 pages granularity need to be
  revisited for ARM SPE

- Recording across multiple SPE clusters/domains not supported

- Snapshot support (record -S), and conversion to native perf events
  (e.g., via 'perf inject --itrace'), are also not supported

- Technically both cs-etm and spe can be used simultaneously, however
  disabled for simplicity in this release

perf tools: Provide mutex wrappers for pthreads rwlocks

2017-09-21T16:28:06+00:00

Andi reported a performance drop in single threaded perf tools such as
'perf script' due to the growing number of locks being put in place to
allow for multithreaded tools, so wrap the POSIX threads rwlock routines
with the names used for such kinds of locks in the Linux kernel and then
allow for tools to ask for those locks to be used or not.

I.e. a tool may have a multithreaded phase and then switch to single
threaded, like the upcoming patches for the synthesizing of
PERF_RECORD_{FORK,MMAP,etc} for pre-existing processes to then switch to
single threaded mode in 'perf top'.

The init routines will not be conditional, this way starting as single
threaded to then move to multi threaded mode should be possible.
