perf cpumap: Add range data encoding

2022-10-04T11:55:21+00:00

Often cpumaps encode a range of all CPUs, add a compact encoding that
doesn't require a bit mask or list of all CPUs.

perf branch: Extend branch type classification

2022-10-04T11:55:20+00:00

This updates the perf tool with generic branch type classification with new
ABI extender place holder i.e PERF_BR_EXTEND_ABI, the new 4 bit branch type
field i.e perf_branch_entry.new_type, new generic page fault related branch
types and some arch specific branch types as added earlier in the kernel.

Committer note:

Add an extra entry to the branch_type_name array to cope with
PERF_BR_EXTEND_ABI, to address build warnings on some compiler/systems,
like:

perf tools: Support reading PERF_FORMAT_LOST

2022-08-19T18:56:56+00:00

The recent kernel added lost count can be read from either read(2) or
ring buffer data with PERF_SAMPLE_READ.  As it's a variable length data
we need to access it according to the format info.

But for perf tools use cases, PERF_FORMAT_ID is always set.  So we can
only check PERF_FORMAT_LOST bit to determine the data format.

Add sample_read_value_size() and next_sample_read_value() helpers to
make it a bit easier to access.  Use them in all places where it reads
the struct sample_read_value.

perf cpumap: Fix alignment for masks in event encoding

2022-08-19T18:30:28+00:00

A mask encoding of a cpu map is laid out as:

  u16 nr
  u16 long_size
  unsigned long mask[];

However, the mask may be 8-byte aligned meaning there is a 4-byte pad
after long_size. This means 32-bit and 64-bit builds see the mask as
being at different offsets. On top of this the structure is in the byte
data[] encoded as:

  u16 type
  char data[]

This means the mask's struct isn't the required 4 or 8 byte aligned, but
is offset by 2. Consequently the long reads and writes are causing
undefined behavior as the alignment is broken.

Fix the mask struct by creating explicit 32 and 64-bit variants, use a
union to avoid data[] and casts; the struct must be packed so the
layout matches the existing perf.data layout. Taking an address of a
member of a packed struct breaks alignment so pass the packed
perf_record_cpu_map_data to functions, so they can access variables with
the right alignment.

As the 64-bit version has 4 bytes of padding, optimizing writing to only
write the 32-bit version.

Committer notes:

Disable warnings about 'packed' that break the build in some arches like
riscv64, but just around that specific struct.

perf tools: Automatically use guest kcore_dir if present

2022-07-20T14:08:37+00:00

When registering a guest machine using machine_pid from the id index,
check perf.data for a matching kcore_dir subdirectory and set the
kallsyms file name accordingly. If set, use it to find the machine's
kernel symbols and object code (from kcore).

perf auxtrace: Add machine_pid and vcpu to auxtrace_error

2022-07-20T14:08:17+00:00

Add machine_pid and vcpu to struct perf_record_auxtrace_error. The existing
fmt member is used to identify the new format.

The new members make it possible to easily differentiate errors from guest
machines.

perf tools: Add guest_cpu to hypervisor threads

2022-07-20T14:08:04+00:00

It is possible to know which guest machine was running at a point in time
based on the PID of the currently running host thread. That is, perf
identifies guest machines by the PID of the hypervisor.

To determine the guest CPU, put it on the hypervisor (QEMU) thread for
that VCPU.

This is done when processing the id_index which provides the necessary
information.

perf session: Create guest machines from id_index

2022-07-20T14:07:58+00:00

Now that id_index has machine_pid, use it to create guest machines.
Create the guest machines with an idle thread because guest events
for "swapper" will be possible.

perf tools: Add machine_pid and vcpu to id_index

2022-07-20T14:07:58+00:00

When injecting events from a guest perf.data file, the events will have
separate sample ID numbers. These ID numbers can then be used to determine
which machine an event belongs to. To facilitate that, add machine_pid and
vcpu to id_index records. For backward compatibility, these are added at
the end of the record, and the length of the record is used to determine
if they are present or not.

Note, this is needed because the events from a guest perf.data file contain
the pid/tid of the process running at that time inside the VM not the
pid/tid of the (QEMU) hypervisor thread. So a way is needed to relate
guest events back to the guest machine and VCPU, and using sample ID
numbers for that is relatively simple and convenient.
