perf script python: Add addr into perf sample dict

2018-05-30T18:39:31+00:00

ARM CoreSight auxtrace uses 'sample->addr' to record the target address
for branch instructions, so the data of 'sample->addr' is required for
tracing data analysis.

This commit collects data of 'sample->addr' into perf sample dict,
finally can be used for python script for parsing event.

perf cs-etm: Fix indexing for decoder packet queue

2018-05-30T18:38:40+00:00

The tail of a queue is supposed to be pointing to the next available
slot in a queue.  In this implementation the tail is incremented before
it is used and as such points to the last used element, something that
has the immense advantage of centralizing tail management at a single
location and eliminating a lot of redundant code.

But this needs to be taken into consideration on the dequeueing side
where the head also needs to be incremented before it is used, or the
first available element of the queue will be skipped.

perf parse-events: Handle uncore event aliases in small groups properly

2018-05-30T13:40:44+00:00

Perf stat doesn't count the uncore event aliases from the same uncore
block in a group, for example:

  perf stat -e '{unc_m_cas_count.all,unc_m_clockticks}' -a -I 1000
  #           time             counts unit events
       1.000447342            unc_m_cas_count.all
       1.000447342            unc_m_clockticks
       2.000740654            unc_m_cas_count.all
       2.000740654            unc_m_clockticks

The output is very misleading. It gives a wrong impression that the
uncore event doesn't work.

An uncore block could be composed by several PMUs. An uncore event alias
is a joint name which means the same event runs on all PMUs of a block.
Perf doesn't support mixed events from different PMUs in the same group.
It is wrong to put uncore event aliases in a big group.

The right way is to split the big group into multiple small groups which
only include the events from the same PMU.

Only uncore event aliases from the same uncore block should be specially
handled here. It doesn't make sense to mix the uncore events with other
uncore events from different blocks or even core events in a group.

With the patch:
  #           time             counts unit events
     1.001557653            140,833      unc_m_cas_count.all
     1.001557653      1,330,231,332      unc_m_clockticks
     2.002709483             85,007      unc_m_cas_count.all
     2.002709483      1,429,494,563      unc_m_clockticks

perf tools: Add missing newline when parsing empty BPF proggie

2018-05-11T15:10:02+00:00

This is not specific to BPF but was found when parsing a .c BPF proggie
that while valid, had no events attached to tracepoints, kprobes, etc:

Very minimal file that perf's BPF code can compile:

  # cat empty.c
  char _license[] __attribute__((section("license"), used)) = "GPL";
  int _version __attribute__((section("version"), used)) = LINUX_VERSION_CODE;
  #

Before this patch:

  # perf trace -e empty.c
  WARNING: event parser found nothinginvalid or unsupported event: 'empty.c'
  Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events

   Usage: perf trace [] []
      or: perf trace [] --  []
      or: perf trace record [] []
      or: perf trace record [] --  []

      -e, --event    event/syscall selector. use 'perf list' to list available events
    #

After:

  # perf trace -e empty.c
  WARNING: event parser found nothing
  invalid or unsupported event: 'empty.c'
  Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events

   Usage: perf trace [] []
      or: perf trace [] --  []

perf cs-etm: Support unknown_thread in cs_etm_auxtrace

2018-05-11T13:45:23+00:00

CoreSight doesn't allocate thread structure for unknown_thread in ETM
auxtrace, so unknown_thread is NULL pointer.  If the perf data doesn't
contain valid tid and then cs_etm__mem_access() uses unknown_thread
instead as thread handler, this results in a segmentation fault when
thread__find_addr_map() accesses the thread handler.

This commit creates a new thread data which is used by unknown_thread, so
CoreSight tracing can roll back to use unknown_thread if perf data
doesn't include valid thread info.  This commit also releases thread
data for initialization failure case and for normal auxtrace free flow.

When we perform the following command lines:

  $ perf annotate main --stdio

The output shows only the first event, "cycles" and the displaying

                   :            }

The issue is that the value of the 'nr_percent' variable is hardcoded to
1.  This patch fixes it.

For each print, the PMU name is unconditionally appended to the
counter->name.

Need to check the counter->name first. If the PMU name is already
appended, do nothing.

Committer notes:

Add and use perf_evsel->uniquified_name bool instead of doing the more
expensive strstr(event->name, pmu->name).
