perf session: Add facility to peek at all events

2019-11-22T13:48:13+00:00

AUX area samples are not limited in how far back in time the sample
could start. Consequently samples must be queued in advance to allow for
time-ordered processing. To achieve that, add
perf_session__peek_events() that walks and peeks at all the events.

perf auxtrace: Add support for dumping AUX area samples

2019-11-22T13:48:13+00:00

Add support for dumping AUX area samples i.e. via the perf script/report
 -D (--dump-raw-trace) option.

Committer notes:

Add __maybe_unused to the two args for auxtrace__dump_auxtrace_sample()
for when we don't HAVE_AUXTRACE_SUPPORT.

perf tools: Add kernel AUX area sampling definitions

2019-11-21T13:54:20+00:00

Add kernel AUX area sampling definitions, which brings perf_event.h into
line with the kernel version.

New sample type PERF_SAMPLE_AUX requests a sample of the AUX area
buffer.  New perf_event_attr member 'aux_sample_size' specifies the
desired size of the sample.

Also add support for parsing samples containing AUX area data i.e.
PERF_SAMPLE_AUX.

Committer notes:

I squashed the first two patches in this series to avoid breaking
automatic bisection, i.e. after applying only the original first patch
in this series we would have:

  # perf test -v parsing
  26: Sample parsing                                        :
  --- start ---
  test child forked, pid 17018
  sample format has changed, some new PERF_SAMPLE_ bit was introduced - test needs updating
  test child finished with -1
  ---- end ----
  Sample parsing: FAILED!
  #

With the two paches combined:

  # perf test parsing
  26: Sample parsing                                        : Ok

perf session: Fix decompression of PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED records

2019-11-19T22:31:55+00:00

Avoid termination of trace loading in case the last record in the
decompressed buffer partly resides in the following mmaped
PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED record.

In this case NULL value returned by fetch_mmaped_event() means to
proceed to the next mmaped record then decompress it and load compressed
events.

The issue can be reproduced like this:

  $ perf record -z -- some_long_running_workload
  $ perf report --stdio -vv
  decomp (B): 44519 to 163000
  decomp (B): 48119 to 174800
  decomp (B): 65527 to 131072
  fetch_mmaped_event: head=0x1ffe0 event->header_size=0x28, mmap_size=0x20000: fuzzed perf.data?
  Error:
  failed to process sample
  ...

Testing:

  71: Zstd perf.data compression/decompression              : Ok

  $ tools/perf/perf report -vv --stdio
  decomp (B): 59593 to 262160
  decomp (B): 4438 to 16512
  decomp (B): 285 to 880
  Looking at the vmlinux_path (8 entries long)
  Using vmlinux for symbols

  prefetch_event: head=0x3fc78 event->header_size=0x28, mmap_size=0x3fc80: fuzzed or compressed perf.data?
  decomp (B): 25 to 32
  decomp (B): 52 to 120
  ...

perf record: Put a copy of kcore into the perf.data directory

2019-11-06T18:43:05+00:00

Add a new 'perf record' option '--kcore' which will put a copy of
/proc/kcore, kallsyms and modules into a perf.data directory. Note, that
without the --kcore option, output goes to a file as previously.  The
tools' -o and -i options work with either a file name or directory name.

Example:

  $ sudo perf record --kcore uname

  $ sudo tree perf.data
  perf.data
  ├── kcore_dir
  │   ├── kallsyms
  │   ├── kcore
  │   └── modules
  └── data

perf evlist: Adopt __set_tracepoint_handlers method from perf_session

2019-10-07T15:22:17+00:00

It all operates on the evsels in the session's evlist, so move it to the
evlist layer to make it useful to tools not using perf_session, just
evlists, like 'perf trace' in live mode.

libperf: Move 'page_size' global variable to libperf

2019-09-25T12:51:48+00:00

We need the 'page_size' variable in libperf, so move it there.

Add a libperf_init() as a global libperf init function to obtain this
value via sysconf() at tool start.

Committer notes:

Add internal/lib.h to tools/perf/ files using 'page_size', sometimes
replacing util.h with it if that was the only reason for having util.h
included.

2019-09-25T12:51:48+00:00

Add perf_evsel__alloc_id()/perf_evsel__free_id() functions to libperf as
internal functions.

Move 'struct perf_sample_id' to internal/evsel.h header and change
'struct perf_sample_id::evsel' to 'struct perf_evsel' and the related
code that touches it.

perf session: Return error code for perf_session__new() function on failure

2019-09-20T18:58:11+00:00

This patch is to return error code of perf_new_session function on
failure instead of NULL.

Test Results:

Before Fix:

  $ perf c2c report -input
  failed to open nput: No such file or directory

  $ echo $?
  0
  $

After Fix:

  $ perf c2c report -input
  failed to open nput: No such file or directory

  $ echo $?
  254
  $

Committer notes:

Fix 'perf tests topology' case, where we use that TEST_ASSERT_VAL(...,
session), i.e. we need to pass zero in case of failure, which was the
case before when NULL was returned by perf_session__new() for failure,
but now we need to negate the result of IS_ERR(session) to respect that
TEST_ASSERT_VAL) expectation of zero meaning failure.
