perf tools: Use just forward declarations for struct thread where possible

2017-04-24T16:43:35+00:00

Removing various instances of unnecessary includes, reducing the maze of
header dependencies.

perf tools: Remove regex.h and fnmatch.h from util.h

2017-04-19T16:01:56+00:00

The users of regex and fnmatch functions should include those headers
instead.

perf str{filter,list}: Disentangle headers

2017-04-19T16:01:52+00:00

There are places where we just need a forward declaration, and others
were we need to include strlist.h and/or strfilter.h, reducing the
impact of changes in headers on the build time, do it.

perf report: Show inline stack for browser mode

2017-03-27T15:12:59+00:00

If the address belongs to an inlined function, the source information
back to the first non-inlined function will be printed.

For example:

1. Show inlined function name
   perf report -g function --inline

-    0.69%     0.00%  inline   ld-2.23.so           [.] dl_main
   - dl_main
        0.56% _dl_relocate_object
         _dl_relocate_object (inline)
         elf_dynamic_do_Rela (inline)

2. Show the file/line information
   perf report -g address --inline

-    0.69%     0.00%  inline   ld-2.23.so           [.] _dl_start
     _dl_start rtld.c:307
      /build/glibc-GKVZIf/glibc-2.23/elf/rtld.c:413 (inline)
   + _dl_sysdep_start dl-sysdep.c:250

perf tools: Add 'cgroup_id' sort order keyword

2017-03-14T18:17:37+00:00

This patch introduces a cgroup identifier entry field in perf report to
identify or distinguish data of different cgroups. It uses the device
number and inode number of cgroup namespace, included in perf data with
the new PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES event, as cgroup identifier.

With the assumption that each container is created with it's own cgroup
namespace,  this allows assessment/analysis of multiple containers at
once.

A simple test for this would be to clone a few processes passing
SIGCHILD & CLONE_NEWCROUP flags to each of them, execute shell and run
different workloads  on each of those contexts,  while running perf
record command with --namespaces option.

Shown below is the output of perf report, sorted with cgroup identifier,
on perf.data generated with the above test scenario, clearly indicating
one context's considerable use of kernel memory in comparison with
others:

	$ perf report -s cgroup_id,sample --stdio
	#
	# Total Lost Samples: 0
	#
	# Samples: 5K of event 'kmem:kmalloc'
	# Event count (approx.): 5965
	#
	# Overhead  cgroup id (dev/inode)       Samples
	# ........  .....................  ............
	#
	    81.27%  3/0xeffffffb                   4848
	    16.24%  3/0xf00000d0                    969
	     1.16%  3/0xf00000ce                     69
	     0.82%  3/0xf00000cf                     49
	     0.50%  0/0x0                            30

While this is a start, there is further scope of improving this. For
example, instead of cgroup namespace's device and inode numbers, dev
and inode numbers of some or all namespaces may be used to distinguish
which processes are running in a given container context.

Also, scripts to map device and inode info to containers sounds
plausible for better tracing of containers.

perf tools: Allow sorting by symbol size

2017-03-03T22:07:16+00:00

Add new sort key 'symbol_size' to allow user to sort by symbol size, or
(more usefully) display the symbol size using --fields=...,symbol_size.

Committer note:

Testing it together with the recently added -q, to remove the headers,
and using the '+' sign with -s, to add the symbol_size sort order to
the default, which is '-s/--sort comm,dso,symbol':

  # perf report -q -s +symbol_size | head -10

perf c2c report: Add src line sort key

2016-10-19T16:18:31+00:00

It is to be displayed in the single cacheline output:

  cl_srcline

It displays source line related to the code address that accessed
cacheline. It's a wrapper to global srcline sort entry.
