perf build: Fix ccache usage in $(CC) when generating arch errno table

2021-03-06T19:54:26+00:00

This was introduced by commit e4ffd066ff440a57 ("perf: Normalize gcc
parameter when generating arch errno table").

Assuming the first word of $(CC) is the actual compiler breaks usage
like CC="ccache gcc": the script ends up calling ccache directly with
gcc arguments, what fails. Instead of getting the first word, just
remove from $(CC) any word that starts with a "-". This maintains the
spirit of the original patch, while not breaking ccache users.

perf build: Move feature cleanup under tools/build

2021-03-06T19:54:24+00:00

Arnaldo reported issue for following build command:

  $ rm -rf /tmp/krava; mkdir /tmp/krava; make O=/tmp/krava clean
    CLEAN    config
  /bin/sh: line 0: cd: /tmp/krava/feature/: No such file or directory
  ../../scripts/Makefile.include:17: *** output directory "/tmp/krava/feature/" does not exist.  Stop.
  make[1]: *** [Makefile.perf:1010: config-clean] Error 2
  make: *** [Makefile:90: clean] Error 2

The problem is that now that we include scripts/Makefile.include
in feature's Makefile (which is fine and needed), we need to ensure
the OUTPUT directory exists, before executing (out of tree) clean
command.

Removing the feature's cleanup from perf Makefile and fixing
feature's cleanup under build Makefile, so it now checks that
there's existing OUTPUT directory before calling the clean.

Pull perf tool updates from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
"New features:

- Support instruction latency in 'perf report', with both memory
latency (weight) and instruction latency information, users can
locate expensive load instructions and understand time spent in
different stages.

- Extend 'perf c2c' to display the number of loads which were blocked
by data or address conflict.

- Add 'perf stat' support for L2 topdown events in systems such as
Intel's Sapphire rapids server.

- Add support for PERF_SAMPLE_CODE_PAGE_SIZE in various tools, as a
sort key, for instance:

perf report --stdio --sort=comm,symbol,code_page_size

- New 'perf daemon' command to run long running sessions while
providing a way to control the enablement of events without
restarting a traditional 'perf record' session.

- Enable counting events for BPF programs in 'perf stat' just like
for other targets (tid, cgroup, cpu, etc), e.g.:

# perf stat -e ref-cycles,cycles -b 254 -I 1000
1.487903822 115,200 ref-cycles
1.487903822 86,012 cycles
2.489147029 80,560 ref-cycles
2.489147029 73,784 cycles
^C

The example above counts 'cycles' and 'ref-cycles' of BPF program
of id 254. It is similar to bpftool-prog-profile command, but more
flexible.

- Support the new layout for PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 to carry the DSO
build-id using infrastructure generalised from the eBPF subsystem,
removing the need for traversing the perf.data file to collect
build-ids at the end of 'perf record' sessions and helping with
long running sessions where binaries can get replaced in updates,
leading to possible mis-resolution of symbols.

- Support filtering by hex address in 'perf script'.

- Support DSO filter in 'perf script', like in other perf tools.

- Add namespaces support to 'perf inject'

- Add support for SDT (Dtrace Style Markers) events on ARM64.

perf record:

- Fix handling of eventfd() when draining a buffer in 'perf record'.

- Improvements to the generation of metadata events for pre-existing
threads (mmaps, comm, etc), speeding up the work done at the start
of system wide or per CPU 'perf record' sessions.

Hardware tracing:

- Initial support for tracing KVM with Intel PT.

- Intel PT fixes for IPC

- Support Intel PT PSB (synchronization packets) events.

- Automatically group aux-output events to overcome --filter syntax.

- Enable PERF_SAMPLE_DATA_SRC on ARMs SPE.

- Update ARM's CoreSight hardware tracing OpenCSD library to v1.0.0.

perf annotate TUI:

- Fix handling of 'k' ("show line number") hotkey

- Fix jump parsing for C++ code.

perf probe:

- Add protection to avoid endless loop.

cgroups:

- Avoid reading cgroup mountpoint multiple times, caching it.

- Fix handling of cgroup v1/v2 in mixed hierarchy.

Symbol resolving:

- Add OCaml symbol demangling.

- Further fixes for handling PE executables when using perf with Wine
and .exe/.dll files.

- Fix 'perf unwind' DSO handling.

- Resolve symbols against debug file first, to deal with artifacts
related to LTO.

- Fix gap between kernel end and module start on powerpc.

Reporting tools:

- The DSO filter shouldn't show samples in unresolved maps.

- Improve debuginfod support in various tools.

build ids:

- Fix 16-byte build ids in 'perf buildid-cache', add a 'perf test'
entry for that case.

perf test:

- Support for PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT.

- Add test case for PERF_SAMPLE_CODE_PAGE_SIZE.

- Shell based tests for 'perf daemon's commands ('start', 'stop,
'reconfig', 'list', etc).

- ARM cs-etm 'perf test' fixes.

- Add parse-metric memory bandwidth testcase.

Compiler related:

- Fix 'perf probe' kretprobe issue caused by gcc 11 bug when used
with -fpatchable-function-entry.

- Fix ARM64 build with gcc 11's -Wformat-overflow.

- Fix unaligned access in sample parsing test.

- Fix printf conversion specifier for IP addresses on arm64, s390 and
powerpc.

Arch specific:

- Support exposing Performance Monitor Counter SPRs as part of
extended regs on powerpc.

- Add JSON 'perf stat' metrics for ARM64's imx8mp, imx8mq and imx8mn
DDR, fix imx8mm ones.

- Fix common and uarch events for ARM64's A76 and Ampere eMag"

tools: Factor Clang, LLC and LLVM utils definitions

2021-01-29T00:25:34+00:00

When dealing with BPF/BTF/pahole and DWARF v5 I wanted to build bpftool.

While looking into the source code I found duplicate assignments in misc tools
for the LLVM eco system, e.g. clang and llvm-objcopy.

Move the Clang, LLC and/or LLVM utils definitions to tools/scripts/Makefile.include
file and add missing includes where needed. Honestly, I was inspired by the commit
c8a950d0d3b9 ("tools: Factor HOSTCC, HOSTLD, HOSTAR definitions").

I tested with bpftool and perf on Debian/testing AMD64 and LLVM/Clang v11.1.0-rc1.

Build instructions:

[ make and make-options ]
MAKE="make V=1"
MAKE_OPTS="HOSTCC=clang HOSTCXX=clang++ HOSTLD=ld.lld CC=clang LD=ld.lld LLVM=1 LLVM_IAS=1"
MAKE_OPTS="$MAKE_OPTS PAHOLE=/opt/pahole/bin/pahole"

[ clean-up ]
$MAKE $MAKE_OPTS -C tools/ clean

[ bpftool ]
$MAKE $MAKE_OPTS -C tools/bpf/bpftool/

[ perf ]
PYTHON=python3 $MAKE $MAKE_OPTS -C tools/perf/

I was careful with respecting the user's wish to override custom compiler, linker,
GNU/binutils and/or LLVM utils settings.

perf stat: Enable counting events for BPF programs

2021-01-20T17:25:28+00:00

Introduce 'perf stat -b' option, which counts events for BPF programs, like:

  [root@localhost ~]# ~/perf stat -e ref-cycles,cycles -b 254 -I 1000
     1.487903822            115,200      ref-cycles
     1.487903822             86,012      cycles
     2.489147029             80,560      ref-cycles
     2.489147029             73,784      cycles
     3.490341825             60,720      ref-cycles
     3.490341825             37,797      cycles
     4.491540887             37,120      ref-cycles
     4.491540887             31,963      cycles

The example above counts 'cycles' and 'ref-cycles' of BPF program of id
254.  This is similar to bpftool-prog-profile command, but more
flexible.

'perf stat -b' creates per-cpu perf_event and loads fentry/fexit BPF
programs (monitor-progs) to the target BPF program (target-prog). The
monitor-progs read perf_event before and after the target-prog, and
aggregate the difference in a BPF map. Then the user space reads data
from these maps.

A new 'struct bpf_counter' is introduced to provide a common interface
that uses BPF programs/maps to count perf events.

Committer notes:

Removed all but bpf_counter.h includes from evsel.h, not needed at all.

Also BPF map lookups for PERCPU_ARRAYs need to have as its value receive
buffer passed to the kernel libbpf_num_possible_cpus() entries, not
evsel__nr_cpus(evsel), as the former uses
/sys/devices/system/cpu/possible while the later uses
/sys/devices/system/cpu/online, which may be less than the 'possible'
number making the bpf map lookup overwrite memory and cause hard to
debug memory corruption.

We need to continue using evsel__nr_cpus(evsel) when accessing the
perf_counts array tho, not to overwrite another are of memory :-)

perf build: Support build BPF skeletons with perf

2021-01-15T18:49:07+00:00

BPF programs are useful in perf to profile BPF programs.

BPF skeleton is by far the easiest way to write BPF tools. Enable
building BPF skeletons in util/bpf_skel. A dummy bpf skeleton is added.
More bpf skeletons will be added for different use cases.

perf trace beauty: Add script to autogenerate mremap's flags args string/id table

It'll also conditionally generate the defines, so that if we don't have
those when building a new tool tarball in an older systems, we get
those, and we need them sometimes in the actual scnprintf routine, such
as when checking if a flags means we have an extra arg, like with
MREMAP_FIXED.

perf tools: Make GTK2 support opt-in

2020-09-04T20:11:59+00:00

This is bitrotting, nobody is stepping up to work on it, and since we
treat warnings as errors, feature detection is failing in its main,
faster test (tools/build/feature/test-all.c) because of the GTK+2
infobar check.

So make this opt-in, at some point ditch this if nobody volunteers to
