linux.git/tools, branch v4.20-rc2

Merge tag 'perf-urgent-for-mingo-4.20-20181106' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/urgent

2018-11-06T19:03:11+00:00

Pull perf/urgent improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

Intel PT SQL viewer: (Adrian Hunter)

- Fall back to /usr/local/lib/libxed.so
- Add Selected branches report
- Add help window
- Fix table find when table re-ordered

Intel PT debug log (Adrian Hunter)

- Add more event information
- Add MTC and CYC timestamps

perf record: (Andi Kleen)

- Support weak groups, just like with 'perf stat'

perf trace: (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Start augmenting raw_syscalls:{sys_enter,sys_exit}: goal is to have a
  generic, arch independent eBPF kernel component that is programmed with
  syscall table details, what to copy, how many bytes, pid, arg filters from the
  userspace via eBPF maps by the 'perf trace' tool that continues to use all its
  argument beautifiers, just taking advantage of the extra pointer contents.

JVMTI: (Gustavo Romero)

- Fix undefined symbol scnprintf in libperf-jvmti.so

perf top: (Jin Yao)

- Display the LBR stats in callchain entries

perf stat: (Thomas Richter)

- Handle different PMU names with common prefix

arm64: Will (Deacon)

- Fix arm64 tools build failure wrt smp_load_{acquire,release}.

perf tools: Do not zero sample_id_all for group members

2018-11-06T11:29:56+00:00

Andi reported following malfunction:

  # perf record -e '{ref-cycles,cycles}:S' -a sleep 1
  # perf script
  non matching sample_id_all

That's because we disable sample_id_all bit for non-sampling group
members. We can't do that, because it needs to be the same over the
whole event list. This patch keeps it untouched again.

perf tools: Fix undefined symbol scnprintf in libperf-jvmti.so

2018-11-05T19:28:00+00:00

Currently jvmti agent can not be used because function scnprintf is not
present in the agent libperf-jvmti.so. As a result the JVM when using
such agent to record JITed code profiling information will fail on
looking up scnprintf:

  java: symbol lookup error: lib/libperf-jvmti.so: undefined symbol: scnprintf

This commit fixes that by reverting to the use of snprintf, that can be
looked up, instead of scnprintf, adding a proper check for the returned
value in order to print a better error message when the jitdump file
pathname is too long. Checking the returned value also helps to comply
with some recent gcc versions, like gcc8, which will fail due to
truncated writing checks related to the -Werror=format-truncation= flag.

perf beauty: Use SRCARCH, ARCH=x86_64 must map to "x86" to find the headers

2018-11-05T18:46:51+00:00

Guenter reported that using ARCH=x86_64 to build perf has regressed:

  $ make -C tools/perf O=/tmp/build/perf ARCH=x86_64
  make: Entering directory '/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf'
    BUILD:   Doing 'make -j4' parallel build
    HOSTCC   /tmp/build/perf/fixdep.o
    HOSTLD   /tmp/build/perf/fixdep-in.o
    LINK     /tmp/build/perf/fixdep

  Auto-detecting system features:
  ...                         dwarf: [ on  ]
  
  ...                           bpf: [ on  ]

    GEN      /tmp/build/perf/common-cmds.h
  make[2]: *** No rule to make target '/home/acme/git/perf/tools/arch/x86_64/include/uapi/asm//mman.h', needed by '/tmp/build/perf/trace/beauty/generated/mmap_flags_array.c'.  Stop.
  make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
    PERF_VERSION = 4.19.gf6c23e3
  make[1]: *** [Makefile.perf:207: sub-make] Error 2
  make: *** [Makefile:70: all] Error 2
  make: Leaving directory '/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf'
  $

This is because we must use $(SRCARCH) where we were using $(ARCH), so
that, just like the top level Makefile, we get this done:

  # Additional ARCH settings for x86
  ifeq ($(ARCH),i386)
          SRCARCH := x86
  endif
  ifeq ($(ARCH),x86_64)
          SRCARCH := x86
  endif

Which is done in tools/scripts/Makefile.arch, so switch to use
$(SRCARCH).

perf intel-pt: Add MTC and CYC timestamps to debug log

2018-11-05T17:53:54+00:00

One cause of decoding errors is un-synchronized side-band data.
Timestamps are needed to debug such cases. TSC packet timestamps are
logged. Log also MTC and CYC timestamps.

perf scripts python: exported-sql-viewer.py: Fix table find when table re-ordered

2018-11-05T17:53:00+00:00

Table rows can be re-ordered by selecting a column to sort by. After
re-ordering, the "find" operation was highlighting the wrong row, fix
it.

not have /usr/local/lib in the library path by default.
