perf header: Fixup reading of HEADER_NRCPUS feature

2015-10-22T21:43:12+00:00

commit caa470475d9b59eeff093ae650800d34612c4379 upstream.

The original patch introducing this header wrote the number of CPUs available
and online in one order and then swapped those values when reading, fix it.

Before:

  # perf record usleep 1
  # perf report --header-only | grep 'nrcpus \(online\|avail\)'
  # nrcpus online : 4
  # nrcpus avail : 4
  # echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu2/online
  # perf record usleep 1
  # perf report --header-only | grep 'nrcpus \(online\|avail\)'
  # nrcpus online : 4
  # nrcpus avail : 3
  # echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
  # perf record usleep 1
  # perf report --header-only | grep 'nrcpus \(online\|avail\)'
  # nrcpus online : 4
  # nrcpus avail : 2

After the fix, bringing back the CPUs online:

  # perf report --header-only | grep 'nrcpus \(online\|avail\)'
  # nrcpus online : 2
  # nrcpus avail : 4
  # echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu2/online
  # perf record usleep 1
  # perf report --header-only | grep 'nrcpus \(online\|avail\)'
  # nrcpus online : 3
  # nrcpus avail : 4
  # echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
  # perf record usleep 1
  # perf report --header-only | grep 'nrcpus \(online\|avail\)'
  # nrcpus online : 4
  # nrcpus avail : 4

perf tools: Fix cross-endian analysis

2015-04-10T13:13:58+00:00

Trying to analyze a big endian data file on little endian system fails
with the error:

  0xa9b40 [0x70]: failed to process type: 9

The problem is that header parsing is not done correctly because the
file attributes are not swapped. Make it so. With this patch able to
analyze a sparc64 data file on x86_64.

perf tools: Merge all perf_event_attr print functions

2015-04-08T13:06:28+00:00

Currently there's 3 (that I found) different and incomplete
implementations of printing perf_event_attr.

This is quite silly. Merge the lot.

While this patch does not retain the exact form all printing that I
found is debug output and thus it should not be critical.

Also, I cannot find a single print_event_desc() caller.

perf record: Add clockid parameter

2015-04-08T13:04:55+00:00

Teach perf-record about the new perf_event_attr::{use_clockid, clockid}
fields. Add a simple parameter to set the clock (if any) to be used for
the events to be recorded into the data file.

Since we store the entire perf_event_attr in the EVENT_DESC section we
also already store the used clockid in the data file.

perf header: Set header version correctly

2015-01-29T19:53:11+00:00

When check_magic_endian() is called, it checks the magic number in the
perf data file to determine version and endianness.  But if it uses a
same endian the verison number wasn't updated and makes confusion.

perf tools: Fix build-id matching on vmlinux

2014-11-05T13:14:08+00:00

There's a problem on finding correct kernel symbols when perf report
runs on a different kernel.  Although a part of the problem was solved
by the prior commit 0a7e6d1b6844 ("perf tools: Check recorded kernel
version when finding vmlinux"), there's a remaining problem still.

When perf records samples, it synthesizes the kernel map using
machine__mmap_name() and ref_reloc_sym like "[kernel.kallsyms]_text".
You can easily see it using 'perf report -D' command.

After finishing record, it goes through the recorded events to find
maps/dsos actually used.  And then record build-id info of them.

During this process, it needs to load symbols in a dso and it'd call
dso__load_vmlinux_path() since the default value of the symbol_conf.
try_vmlinux_path is true.  However it changes dso->long_name to a real
path of the vmlinux file (e.g. /lib/modules/3.16.4/build/vmlinux) if one
is running on a custom kernel.

It resulted in that perf report reads the build-id of the vmlinux, but
cannot use it since it only knows about the [kernel.kallsyms] map.  It
then falls back to possible vmlinux paths by using the recorded kernel
version (in case of a recent version) or a running kernel silently.

Even with the recent tools, this still has a possibility of breaking
the result.  As the build directory is a symbolic link, if one built a
new kernel in the same directory with different source/config, the old
link to vmlinux will point the new file.  So it's absolutely needed to
use build-id when finding a kernel image.

In this patch, it's now changed to try to search a kernel dso in the
existing dso list which was constructed during build-id table parsing
so it'll always have a build-id.  If not found, search "[kernel.kallsyms]".

Before:

  $ perf report
  # Children      Self  Command  Shared Object      Symbol
  # ........  ........  .......  .................  ...............................
  #
      72.15%     0.00%  swapper  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] set_curr_task_rt

2014-11-05T13:14:07+00:00

It'd be better managing those functions in a separate place as
util/header.c file is already big.

It now exports following 3 functions to others:

  bool perf_session__read_build_ids(struct perf_session *session, bool with_hits);
  int perf_session__write_buildid_table(struct perf_session *session, int fd);
  int perf_session__cache_build_ids(struct perf_session *session);
