tools lib traceevent, perf tools: Rename pevent find APIs

2018-08-13T18:21:51+00:00

In order to make libtraceevent into a proper library, variables, data
structures and functions require a unique prefix to prevent name space
conflicts. That prefix will be "tep_" and not "pevent_". This changes
APIs: pevent_find_any_field, pevent_find_common_field,
pevent_find_event, pevent_find_field

perf tools: Drop unneeded bitmap_zero() calls

2018-08-08T18:55:44+00:00

bitmap_zero() is called after bitmap_alloc() in perf code. But
bitmap_alloc() internally uses calloc() which guarantees that allocated
area is zeroed. So following bitmap_zero is unneeded. Drop it.

This happened because of confusing name for bitmap allocator. It
should has name bitmap_zalloc instead of bitmap_alloc.

This series:

  https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/6/18/841

introduces a new API for bitmap allocations in kernel, and functions
there are named correctly. Following patch propogates the API to tools,
and fixes naming issue.

perf tools: Synthesize GROUP_DESC feature in pipe mode

2018-07-24T17:53:20+00:00

Stephan reported, that pipe mode does not carry the group information
and thus the piped report won't display the grouped output for following
command:

  # perf record -e '{cycles,instructions,branches}' -a sleep 4 | perf report

It has no idea about the group setup, so it will display events
separately:

  # Overhead  Command          Shared Object             ...
  # ........  ...............  .......................
  #
       6.71%  swapper          [kernel.kallsyms]
       2.28%  offlineimap      libpython2.7.so.1.0
       0.78%  perf             [kernel.kallsyms]
  ...

Fix GROUP_DESC feature record to be synthesized in pipe mode, so the
report output is grouped if there are groups defined in record:

  #                 Overhead  Command          Shared    ...
  # ........................  ...............  .......
  #

perf tools: Fix crash caused by accessing feat_ops[HEADER_LAST_FEATURE]

2018-06-25T14:59:37+00:00

perf_event__process_feature() accesses feat_ops[HEADER_LAST_FEATURE]
which is not defined and thus perf is crashing. HEADER_LAST_FEATURE is
used as an end marker for the perf report but it's unused for perf
script/annotate. Ignore HEADER_LAST_FEATURE for perf script/annotate,
just like it is done in 'perf report'.

  # perf record -o - ls | perf script

perf record: Support s390 random socket_id assignment

2018-06-25T14:59:35+00:00

On s390 the socket identifier assigned to a CPU identifier is random and
(depending on the configuration of the LPAR) may be higher than the CPU
identifier. This is currently not supported.

Fix this by allowing arbitrary socket identifiers being assigned to
CPU id.

Output before:

  [root@p23lp27 perf]# ./perf report --header -I -v
  ...
  socket_id number is too big.You may need to upgrade the perf tool.

perf record: Enable arbitrary event names thru name= modifier

2018-06-06T15:52:04+00:00

Enable complex event names containing [.:=,] symbols to be encoded into Perf
trace using name= modifier e.g. like this:

  perf record -e cpu/name=\'OFFCORE_RESPONSE:request=DEMAND_RFO:response=L3_HIT.SNOOP_HITM\',\
		  period=0x3567e0,event=0x3c,cmask=0x1/Duk ./futex

Below is how it looks like in the report output. Please note explicit escaped
quoting at cmdline string in the header so that thestring can be directly reused
for another collection in shell:

perf report --header

perf tools: Ditch the symbol_conf.nr_events global

2018-06-04T13:28:52+00:00

Since over time the places where we need to pass this got reduced
because we can obtain it from evsel->evlist->nr_entries, no need to have
this global anymore.

perf record: Change warning for missing sysfs entry to debug

2018-04-13T12:59:56+00:00

Using perf on 4.16.0 kernel on s390 shows this warning:

   failed: can't open node sysfs data

each time I run command perf record ... for example:

  [root@s35lp76 perf]# ./perf record -e rB0000 -- sleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  failed: can't open node sysfs data
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.001 MB perf.data (4 samples) ]
  [root@s35lp76 perf]#

It turns out commit e2091cedd51bf ("perf tools: Add MEM_TOPOLOGY feature
to perf data file") tries to open directory named /sys/devices/system/node/
which does not exist on s390.

This is the call stack:
 __cmd_record
 +---> perf_session__write_header
       +---> perf_header__adds_write
             +---> do_write_feat
	           +---> write_mem_topology
		         +---> build_mem_topology
			       prints warning

The issue starts in do_write_feat() which unconditionally loops over all
features and now includes HEADER_MEM_TOPOLOGY and calls write_mem_topology().

Function record__init_features() at the beginning of __cmd_record() sets
all features and then turns off some of them.

Fix this by changing the warning to a level 2 debug output statement.

So it is only shown when debug level 2 or higher is set.

perf report: Support forced leader feature in pipe mode

2018-03-16T16:56:59+00:00

Stephane reported a problem with forced leader in pipe mode, where
report does not force the group output. The reason is that we don't
force the leader in pipe mode.

This patch adds HEADER_LAST_FEATURE mark to have a point where we have
all events and features received, and force the group if requested.

  $ perf record --group -e '{cycles, instructions}' -o - kill | perf report -i - --group
