perf util: Factor out sysctl__nmi_watchdog_enabled()

2020-03-10T17:46:19+00:00

The NMI watchdog status is required for metric group constraint
examination.  Factor out sysctl__nmi_watchdog_enabled() to retrieve the
NMI watchdog status.

Users may count more than one metric group each time. If so, the NMI
watchdog status may be retrieved several times. To reduce the overhead,
cache the NMI watchdog status.

Replace the NMI watchdog status checking in print_footer() by
sysctl__nmi_watchdog_enabled().

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 data: Rename directory "header" file to "data"

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

In preparation to support a single file directory format, rename "header"
to "data" because "header" is a mis-leading name when there is only 1 file.
Note, in the multi-file case, the "header" file also contains data.

perf tools: Fix resource leak of closedir() on the error paths

2019-10-15T14:54:11+00:00

Both build_mem_topology() and rm_rf_depth_pat() have resource leaks of
closedir() on the error paths.

Fix this by calling closedir() before function returns.

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.

remove it from there and add missing header directives in places using

perf tools: Add helpers to use capabilities if present

2019-08-14T13:48:39+00:00

Add utilities to help checking capabilities of the running procss.  Make
perf link with libcap, if it is available. If no libcap-dev[el],
fallback to the geteuid() == 0 test used before.

Committer notes:

  $ perf test python
  18: 'import perf' in python                               : FAILED!
  $ perf test -v python
  Couldn't bump rlimit(MEMLOCK), failures may take place when creating BPF maps, etc
  18: 'import perf' in python                               :
  --- start ---
  test child forked, pid 23288
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "", line 1, in 
  ImportError: /tmp/build/perf/python/perf.so: undefined symbol: cap_get_flag
  test child finished with -1
  ---- end ----
  'import perf' in python: FAILED!
  $

This happens because differently from the perf binary generated with
this patch applied:

  $ ldd /tmp/build/perf/perf | grep libcap
  	libcap.so.2 => /lib64/libcap.so.2 (0x00007f724a4ef000)
  $

The python binding isn't linking with libcap:

  $ ldd /tmp/build/perf/python/perf.so | grep libcap
  $

So add 'cap' to the 'extra_libraries' variable in
tools/perf/util/setup.py, and rebuild:

  $ perf test python
  18: 'import perf' in python                               : Ok
  $

If we explicitely disable libcap it also continues to work:

  $ make NO_LIBCAP=1 -C tools/perf O=/tmp/build/perf install-bin
    $ ldd /tmp/build/perf/perf | grep libcap
  $ ldd /tmp/build/perf/python/perf.so | grep libcap
  $ perf test python
  18: 'import perf' in python                               : Ok
  $
