perf script: Print raw ip instead of binary offset for callchain

2023-05-02T11:36:14+00:00

Before this, the raw ip is printed for non-callchain and dso offset for
callchain. This inconsistent output for address may confuse people. And
mostly what we expect is the raw ip.

'dso offset' is printed in callchain:

  $ perf script
  ...
  ls 1341034 2739463.008343:    2162417 cycles:
          ffffffff99d657a7 [unknown] ([unknown])
          ffffffff99e00b67 [unknown] ([unknown])
                     235d3 memset+0x53 (/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.31.so)  # dso offset
                      a61b _dl_map_object+0x1bb (/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.31.so)

raw ip is printed for non-callchain:

  $ perf script  -G
  	...
          ls 1341034 2739463.008876:    2053304 cycles:  ffffffffc1596923 [unknown] ([unknown])
          ls 1341034 2739463.009381:    1917049 cycles:      14def8e149e6 __strcoll_l+0xd96 (/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc-2.31.so) # raw ip

Let's have consistent output for it. Later I'll add a new field 'dsoff' to
print dso offset.

perf map: Add helper for ->map_ip() and ->unmap_ip()

2023-04-07T01:10:17+00:00

Later changes will add reference count checking for struct map, add a
helper function to invoke the map_ip and unmap_ip function pointers. The
helper allows the reference count check to be in fewer places.

perf map: Add accessor for dso

2023-04-04T19:41:57+00:00

Later changes will add reference count checking for struct map, with
dso being the most frequently accessed variable. Add an accessor so
that the reference count check is only necessary in one place.

Additional changes:
 - add a dso variable to avoid repeated map__dso calls.
 - in builtin-mem.c dump_raw_samples, code only partially tested for
   dso == NULL. Make the possibility of NULL consistent.
 - in thread.c thread__memcpy fix use of spaces and use tabs.

perf build: Use libtraceevent from the system

2022-12-14T14:16:12+00:00

Remove the LIBTRACEEVENT_DYNAMIC and LIBTRACEFS_DYNAMIC make command
line variables.

If libtraceevent isn't installed or NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1 is passed to the
build, don't compile in libtraceevent and libtracefs support.

This also disables CONFIG_TRACE that controls "perf trace".

CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT is used to control enablement in Build/Makefiles,
HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT is used in C code.

Without HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT tracepoints are disabled and as such the
commands kmem, kwork, lock, sched and timechart are removed.  The
majority of commands continue to work including "perf test".

Committer notes:

Fixed up a tools/perf/util/Build reject and added:

  #include 

to tools/perf/util/scripting-engines/trace-event-perl.c.

  #

Had to tweak tools/perf/util/setup.py to make sure the python binding
shared object links with libtraceevent if -DHAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT is
present in CFLAGS.

Building with NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1 uncovered some more build failures:

- Make building of data-convert-bt.c to CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT=y

- perf-$(CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT) += scripts/

- bpf_kwork.o needs also to be dependent on CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT=y

- The python binding needed some fixups and util/trace-event.c can't be
  built and linked with the python binding shared object, so remove it
  in tools/perf/util/setup.py and exclude it from the list of
  dependencies in the python/perf.so Makefile.perf target.

Building without libtraceevent-devel installed uncovered more build
failures:

- The python binding tools/perf/util/python.c was assuming that
  traceevent/parse-events.h was always available, which was the case
  when we defaulted to using the in-kernel tools/lib/traceevent/ files,
  now we need to enclose it under ifdef HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT, just like
  the other parts of it that deal with tracepoints.

- We have to ifdef the rules in the Build files with
  CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT=y to build builtin-trace.c and
  tools/perf/trace/beauty/ as we only ifdef setting CONFIG_TRACE=y when
  setting NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1 in the make command line, not when we don't
  detect libtraceevent-devel installed in the system. Simplification here
  to avoid these two ways of disabling builtin-trace.c and not having
  CONFIG_TRACE=y when libtraceevent-devel isn't installed is the clean
  way.

From Athira:


tools/perf/arch/powerpc/util/Build
-perf-y += kvm-stat.o
+perf-$(CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT) += kvm-stat.o


Then, ditto for arm64 and s390, detected by container cross build tests.

- s/390 uses test__checkevent_tracepoint() that is now only available if
  HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT is defined, enclose the callsite with ifder HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT.

Also from Athira:


With this change, I could successfully compile in these environment:
- Without libtraceevent-devel installed
- With libtraceevent-devel installed
- With “make NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1”


Then, finally rename CONFIG_TRACEEVENT to CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT for
consistency with other libraries detected in tools/perf/.

perf script: Show binary offsets for userspace addr

2021-10-27T23:56:36+00:00

Show binary offsets for userspace addr with map in perf script output
with callchain.

In commit 19610184693c("perf script: Show virtual addresses instead of
offsets"), the addr shown in perf script output with callchain is changed
from binary offsets to virtual address to fix the incorrectness when
displaying symbol offset.

This is inconvenient in scenario that the binary is stripped and
symbol cannot be resolved. If someone wants to further resolve symbols for
specific binaries later, he would need an extra step to translate virtual
address to binary offset with mapping information recorded in perf.data,
which can be difficult for people not familiar with perf.

This patch modifies function sample__fprintf_callchain to print binary
offset for userspace addr with dsos, and virtual address otherwise. It
does not affect symbol offset calculation so symoff remains correct.

Before applying this patch:

  test  1512    78.711307:     533129 cycles:
  	aaaae0da07f4 [unknown] (/tmp/test)
  	aaaae0da0704 [unknown] (/tmp/test)
  	ffffbe9f7ef4 __libc_start_main+0xe4 (/lib64/libc-2.31.so)

After this patch:

perf tools: Add 'evlist' control command

2021-01-20T17:34:21+00:00

Add a new 'evlist' control command to display all the evlist events.
When it is received, perf will scan and print current evlist into perf
record terminal.

The interface string for control file is:

  evlist [-v|-g|-F]

The syntax follows perf evlist command:
  -F  Show just the sample frequency used for each event.
  -v  Show all fields.
  -g  Show event group information.

Example session:

  terminal 1:
    # mkfifo control ack
    # perf record --control=fifo:control,ack -e '{cycles,instructions}'

  terminal 2:
    # echo evlist > control

  terminal 1:
    cycles
    instructions
    dummy:HG

  terminal 2:
    # echo 'evlist -v' > control

  terminal 1:
    cycles: size: 120, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type:            \
    IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, freq: 1,    \
    sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1
    instructions: size: 120, config: 0x1, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000,      \
    sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD, read_format: ID, inherit: 1, freq: 1,    \
    sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1
    dummy:HG: type: 1, size: 120, config: 0x9, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, \
    sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD, read_format: ID, inherit: 1, mmap: 1,    \
    comm: 1, freq: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1, ksymbol: 1, \
     bpf_event: 1

  terminal 2:
    # echo 'evlist -g' > control

  terminal 1:
    {cycles,instructions}
    dummy:HG

  terminal 2:
    # echo 'evlist -F' > control

  terminal 1:
    cycles: sample_freq=4000
    instructions: sample_freq=4000
    dummy:HG: sample_freq=4000

This new evlist command is handy to get real event names when
wildcards are used.

Adding evsel_fprintf.c object to python/perf.so build, because
it's now evlist.c dependency.

Adding PYTHON_PERF define for python/perf.so compilation, so we
can use it to compile in only evsel__fprintf from evsel_fprintf.c
object.
