perf stat: Document --detailed option

2016-05-03T05:45:09+00:00

commit f594bae08183fb6b57db55387794ece3e1edf6f6 upstream.

I'm surprised this remained undocumented since at least 2011. And it is
actually a very useful switch, as Steve and I came to realize recently.

Add the text from

  2cba3ffb9a9d ("perf stat: Add -d -d and -d -d -d options to show more CPU events")

which added the incrementing aspect to -d.

perf trace: Fix documentation for -i

2016-02-24T09:23:21+00:00

commit 956959f6b7a982b2e789a7a8fa1de437074a5eb9 upstream.

The -i flag was incorrectly listed as a short flag for --no-inherit.  It
should have only been listed as a short flag for --input.

This documentation error has existed since the --input flag was
introduced in 6810fc915f7a89d8134edb3996dbbf8eac386c26 (perf trace: Add
option to analyze events in a file versus live).

perf header: Fixup reading of HEADER_NRCPUS feature

2015-10-27T09:18:22+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 stat: Get correct cpu id for print_aggr

2015-10-27T09:18:21+00:00

commit 601083cffb7cabdcc55b8195d732f0f7028570fa upstream.

print_aggr() fails to print per-core/per-socket statistics after commit
582ec0829b3d ("perf stat: Fix per-socket output bug for uncore events")
if events have differnt cpus. Because in print_aggr(), aggr_get_id needs
index (not cpu id) to find core/pkg id. Also, evsel cpu maps should be
used to get aggregated id.

Here is an example:

Counting events cycles,uncore_imc_0/cas_count_read/. (Uncore event has
cpumask 0,18)

  $ perf stat -e cycles,uncore_imc_0/cas_count_read/ -C0,18 --per-core sleep 2

Without this patch, it failes to get CPU 18 result.

   Performance counter stats for 'CPU(s) 0,18':

  S0-C0           1            7526851      cycles
  S0-C0           1               1.05 MiB  uncore_imc_0/cas_count_read/
  S1-C0           0            cycles
  S1-C0           0       MiB  uncore_imc_0/cas_count_read/

With this patch, it can get both CPU0 and CPU18 result.

   Performance counter stats for 'CPU(s) 0,18':

  S0-C0           1            6327768      cycles
  S0-C0           1               0.47 MiB  uncore_imc_0/cas_count_read/
  S1-C0           1             330228      cycles
  S1-C0           1               0.29 MiB  uncore_imc_0/cas_count_read/

perf hists: Update the column width for the "srcline" sort key

2015-10-27T09:18:21+00:00

commit e8e6d37e73e6b950c891c780745460b87f4755b6 upstream.

When we introduce a new sort key, we need to update the
hists__calc_col_len() function accordingly, otherwise the width
will be limited to strlen(header).

We can't update it when obtaining a line value for a column (for
instance, in sort__srcline_cmp()), because we reset it all when doing a
resort (see hists__output_recalc_col_len()), so we need to, from what is
in the hist_entry fields, set each of the column widths.

perf session: Do not fail on processing out of order event

2015-01-26T13:39:09+00:00

commit f61ff6c06dc8f32c7036013ad802c899ec590607 upstream.

Linus reported perf report command being interrupted due to processing
of 'out of order' event, with following error:

  Timestamp below last timeslice flush
  0x5733a8 [0x28]: failed to process type: 3

I could reproduce the issue and in my case it was caused by one CPU
(mmap) being behind during record and userspace mmap reader seeing the
data after other CPUs data were already stored.

This is expected under some circumstances because we need to limit the
number of events that we queue for reordering when we receive a
PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND or when we force flush due to memory
pressure.

 - commit f61ff6c06d struct events_stats was defined in tools/perf/util/event.h
   while 3.10 stable defined in tools/perf/util/hist.h.
 - 3.10 stable there is no pr_oe_time() which used for debug.

perf kvm: Fix kvm report without guestmount.

2014-02-06T19:22:18+00:00

commit ad85ace07a05062ef6b59c35a5e80b6eaee1eee6 upstream.

Currently, if we use perf kvm --guestkallsyms --guestmodules report, we
can not get the perf information from perf data file. All sample are
shown as unknown.

Reproducing steps:
	# perf kvm --guestkallsyms /tmp/kallsyms --guestmodules /tmp/modules record -a sleep 1
	[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
	[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.624 MB perf.data.guest (~27260 samples) ]
	# perf kvm --guestkallsyms /tmp/kallsyms --guestmodules /tmp/modules report |grep %
	   100.00%  [guest/6471]  [unknown]         [g] 0xffffffff8164f330

This bug was introduced by 207b57926 (perf kvm: Fix regression with guest machine creation).
In original code, it uses perf_session__find_machine(), it means we deliver symbol to machine
which has the same pid, if no machine found, deliver it to *default* guest. But if we use
perf_session__findnew_machine() here, if no machine was found, new machine with pid will be built
and added. Then the default guest which with pid == 0 will never get a symbol.

And because the new machine initialized here has no kernel map created, the symbol delivered to
it will be marked as "unknown".

This patch here is to revert commit 207b57926 and fix the SEGFAULT bug in another way.

Verification steps:
	# ./perf kvm --guestkallsyms /home/kallsyms --guestmodules /home/modules record -a sleep 1
	[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
	[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.651 MB perf.data.guest (~28437 samples) ]
	# ./perf kvm --guestkallsyms /home/kallsyms --guestmodules /home/modules report |grep %
	    22.64%    :6471  [guest.kernel.kallsyms]  [g] update_rq_clock.part.70
	    19.99%    :6471  [guest.kernel.kallsyms]  [g] d_free

perf tools: Synthesize anon MMAP records again

2013-12-04T19:05:10+00:00

commit 9d4ecc8893832337daf241236841db966fa53489 upstream.

When introducing the PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 in:

5c5e854bc760 perf tools: Add attr->mmap2 support

A check for the number of entries parsed by sscanf was introduced that
assumed all of the 8 fields needed to be correctly parsed so that
particular /proc/pid/maps line would be considered synthesizable.

That broke anon records synthesizing, as it doesn't have the 'execname'
field.

Fix it by keeping the sscanf return check, changing it to not require
that the 'execname' variable be parsed, so that the preexisting logic
can kick in and set it to '//anon'.

This should get things like JIT profiling working again.

perf tools: Remove cast of non-variadic function to variadic

2013-12-04T19:05:10+00:00

commit 53805eca3d89b095062c11a6798689bb0af09216 upstream.

The 4fb71074a570 (perf ui/hist: Consolidate hpp helpers) cset introduced
a cast of percent_color_snprintf to a function pointer type with
varargs.  Change percent_color_snprintf to be variadic and remove the
cast.

The symptom of this was all percentages being reported as 0.00% in perf
report --stdio output on the armhf arch.

perf tools: Fixup mmap event consumption

2013-10-28T19:06:00+00:00

The tail position of the event buffer should only be modified after

If not the event buffer could be invalid before use, and segment fault
