perf namespace: Protect reading thread's namespace

2019-05-28T12:52:23+00:00

It seems that the current code lacks holding the namespace lock in
thread__namespaces().  Otherwise it can see inconsistent results.

perf tools: Speed up report for perf compiled with linwunwind

2019-05-15T19:36:46+00:00

When compiled with libunwind, perf does some preparatory work when
processing side-band events. This is not needed when report actually
don't unwind dwarf callchains, so it's disabled with
dwarf_callchain_users bool.

However we could move that check to higher level and shield more
unwanted code for normal report processing, giving us following speed up
on kernel build profile:

Before:

  $ perf record make -j40
  ...
  $ ll ../../perf.data
  -rw-------. 1 jolsa jolsa 461783932 Apr 26 09:11 perf.data
  $ perf stat -e cycles:u,instructions:u perf report -i perf.data > out

   Performance counter stats for 'perf report -i perf.data':

    78,669,920,155      cycles:u
    99,076,431,951      instructions:u            #    1.26  insn per cycle

      55.382823668 seconds time elapsed

      27.512341000 seconds user
      27.712871000 seconds sys

After:

  $ perf stat -e cycles:u,instructions:u perf report -i perf.data > out

   Performance counter stats for 'perf report -i perf.data':

    59,626,798,904      cycles:u
    88,583,575,849      instructions:u            #    1.49  insn per cycle

      21.296935559 seconds time elapsed

      20.010191000 seconds user
       1.202935000 seconds sys

The speed is higher with profile having many side-band events,
because these trigger libunwind preparatory code.

This does not apply for perf compiled with libdw for dwarf unwind,
only for build with libunwind.

perf thread: Generalize function to copy from thread addr space from intel-bts code

2019-03-06T20:55:35+00:00

Add a utility function to fetch executable code. Convert one
user over to it. There are more places doing that, but they
do significantly different actions, so they are not
easy to fit into a single library function.

Committer changes:

. No need to cast around, make 'buf' be a void pointer.

. Rename it to thread__memcpy() to reflect the fact it is about copying
  a chunk of memory from a thread, i.e. from its address space.

. No need to have it in a separate object file, move it to thread.[ch]

. Check the return of map__load(), the original code didn't do it, but
  since we're moving this around, check that as well.

perf tools: Add missing include for symbols.h

2019-02-06T13:00:38+00:00

Several places were using definitions found in symbols.h but not
including it, getting it by sheer luck from some other headers that now
are in the process of removing that include because they don't need it
or because simply having struct forward declarations is enough, fix it.

perf tools: Support 'srccode' output

2018-12-17T17:57:07+00:00

When looking at PT or brstackinsn traces with 'perf script' it can be
very useful to see the source code. This adds a simple facility to print
them with 'perf script', if the information is available through dwarf

Not supported for callchains currently, would need some layout changes
there.

perf tools: Don't clone maps from parent when synthesizing forks

2018-10-31T13:18:01+00:00

When synthesizing FORK events, we are trying to create thread objects
for the already running tasks on the machine.

Normally, for a kernel FORK event, we want to clone the parent's maps
because that is what the kernel just did.

But when synthesizing, this should not be done.  If we do, we end up
with overlapping maps as we process the sythesized MMAP2 events that
get delivered shortly thereafter.

Use the FORK event misc flags in an internal way to signal this
situation, so we can elide the map clone when appropriate.

perf symbols: Unify symbol maps

2018-04-27T13:47:06+00:00

Remove the split of symbol tables for data (MAP__VARIABLE) and for
functions (MAP__FUNCTION), its unneeded and there were various places
doing two lookups to find a symbol, so simplify this.

We still will consider only the symbols that matched the filters in
place, i.e. see the (elf_(sec,sym)|symbol_type)__filter() routines in
the patch, just so that we consider only the same symbols as before,
to reduce the possibility of regressions.

All the tests on 50-something build environments, in varios versions
of lots of distros and cross build environments were performed without
build regressions, as usual with all pull requests the other tests were
also performed: 'perf test' and 'make -C tools/perf build-test'.

Also this was done at a great granularity so that regressions can be
bisected more easily.

perf thread: Remove addr_type arg from thread__find_cpumode_addr_location()

2018-04-26T16:47:16+00:00

All callers are for MAP__FUNCTION, so just ditch it and use
thread__find_symbol(), that already ditched MAP__FUNCTION, i.e.
internally uses it till we ditch it for good.

perf thread: Introduce thread__find_symbol()

2018-04-26T16:47:07+00:00

Out of thread__find_addr_location(..., MAP__FUNCTION, ...), idea here is to
continue removing references to MAP__{FUNCTION,VARIABLE} ahead of
getting both types of symbols in the same rbtree, as various places do
two lookups, looking first at MAP__FUNCTION, then at MAP__VARIABLE.

So thread__find_symbol() will eventually do just that, and 'struct
symbol' will have the symbol type, for code that cares about that.
