perf hists: Check if a hist_entry has callchains before using them

2018-06-06T15:52:03+00:00

So far if we use 'perf record -g' this will make
symbol_conf.use_callchain 'true' and logic will assume that all events
have callchains enabled, but ever since we added the possibility of
setting up callchains for some events (e.g.: -e
cycles/call-graph=dwarf/) while not for others, we limit usage scenarios
by looking at that symbol_conf.use_callchain global boolean, we better
look at each event attributes.

On the road to that we need to look if a hist_entry has callchains, that
is, to go from hist_entry->hists to the evsel that contains it, to then
look at evsel->sample_type for PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN.

The next step is to add a symbol_conf.ignore_callchains global, to use
in the places where what we really want to know is if callchains should
be ignored, even if present.

Then -g will mean just to select a callchain mode to be applied to all
events not explicitely setting some other callchain mode, i.e. a default
callchain mode, and --no-call-graph will set
symbol_conf.ignore_callchains with that clear intention.

That too will at some point become a per evsel thing, that tools can set
for all or just a few of its evsels.

perf annotate: Create hotkey 'c' to show min/max cycles

2018-05-19T09:42:49+00:00

In the 'perf annotate' view, a new hotkey 'c' is created for showing the
min/max cycles.

For example, when press 'c', the annotate view is:

  Percent│ IPC     Cycle(min/max)
         │
         │
         │                             Disassembly of section .text:

         │3.92                           mov    $0x1,%esi
         │3.92                           xor    %eax,%eax
         │3.92                           cmpl   $0x0,argp_program_version_hook@@G
         │3.92             1(2/1)      ↓ je     20
         │                               lock   cmpxchg %esi,__abort_msg@@GLIBC_P
         │                             ↓ jne    29
         │                             ↓ jmp    43
         │1.10                     20:   cmpxchg %esi,__abort_msg@@GLIBC_PRIVATE+
    8.93 │1.10             1(5/1)      ↓ je     43

When press 'c' again, the annotate view is switched back:

  Percent│ IPC Cycle
         │
         │
         │                Disassembly of section .text:

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 annotate browser: Allow showing offsets in more than just jump targets

2018-04-12T13:33:09+00:00

Jesper wanted to see offsets at callq sites when doing some performance
investigation related to retpolines, so save him some time by providing
a 'O' hotkey to allow showing offsets from function start at call
instructions or in all instructions, just go on pressing 'O' till the
offsets you need appear.

Example:

perf hists browser: Remove leftover from row returned from refresh

2018-04-06T15:23:25+00:00

The per-browser screen refresh routine (ui_browser->refresh()) should
return the first row that should be cleaned after the rows just printed,
in case not all rows available on the screen gets filled.

When moving the extra title lines logic from the hists browser to the
generic ui_browser class, one piece of that logic remained in the hists
browser and then when going back from the annotate browser to the hists
browser in a case where fewer lines were displayed in the hists browser,
for instance when filtering the entries per substring, one line of the
annotate browser would remain on the screen, fix that.

Example of the screen artifact:

================================================================================
Samples: 73K of event 'cycles:ppp', 4000 Hz, Event count (approx.): 45172901394
Overhead  Shared O  Symbol
   0.30%  [kernel]  [k] __indirect_thunk_start
   0.09%  [kernel]  [k] __x86_indirect_thunk_r10
       │      lfence
================================================================================

Here from 'perf top' the view was zoomed with '/thunk' to functions
having that substring, then the first was annotated and from the
annotate browser ESC was pressed, then the first lines were overwritten,
but the 'lfence' line remained due to the off by one bug fixed in this
cset.
