2017-09-01perf sort: Add sort option for physical addressGravatar Kan Liang 1-2/+6
Add a new sort option "phys_daddr" for --mem-mode sort. With this option applied, perf can sort and report by sample's physical address.

2017-08-30perf report: Calculate the average cycles of iterationsGravatar Jin Yao 1-35/+53
The branch history code has a loop detection function. With this, we can get the number of iterations by calculating the removed loops. While it would be nice for knowing the average cycles of iterations. This patch adds up the cycles in branch entries of removed loops and save the result to the next branch entry (e.g. branch entry A). Finally it will display the iteration number and average cycles at the "from" of branch entry A. For example: perf record -g -j any,save_type ./div perf report --branch-history --no-children --stdio --22.63%--main div.c:42 (RET CROSS_2M) compute_flag div.c:28 (cycles:2 iter:173115 avg_cycles:2) | --10.73%--compute_flag div.c:27 (RET CROSS_2M) rand rand.c:28 (cycles:1) rand rand.c:28 (RET CROSS_2M) __random random.c:298 (cycles:1) __random random.c:297 (COND_BWD CROSS_2M) __random random.c:295 (cycles:1) __random random.c:295 (COND_BWD CROSS_2M) __random random.c:295 (cycles:1) __random random.c:295 (RET CROSS_2M) Signed-off-by: Yao Jin <yao.jin@linux.intel.com> Reviewed-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Kan Liang <kan.liang@intel.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1502111115-18305-1-git-send-email-yao.jin@linux.intel.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
2017-08-11perf record: Fix wrong size in perf_record_mmap for last kernel moduleGravatar Thomas Richter 1-1/+3
During work on perf report for s390 I ran into the following issue: 0 0x318 [0x78]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP -1/0: [0x3ff804d6990(0xfffffc007fb2966f) @ 0]: x /lib/modules/4.12.0perf1+/kernel/drivers/s390/net/qeth_l2.ko This is a PERF_RECORD_MMAP entry of the perf.data file with an invalid module size for qeth_l2.ko (the s390 ethernet device driver). Even a mainframe does not have 0xfffffc007fb2966f bytes of main memory. It turned out that this wrong size is created by the perf record command. What happens is this function call sequence from __cmd_record(): perf_session__new(): perf_session__create_kernel_maps(): machine__create_kernel_maps(): machine__create_modules(): Creates map for all loaded kernel modules. modules__parse(): Reads /proc/modules and extracts module name and load address (1st and last column) machine__create_module(): Called for every module found in /proc/modules. Creates a new map for every module found and enters module name and start address into the map. Since the module end address is unknown it is set to zero. This ends up with a kernel module map list sorted by module start addresses. All module end addresses are zero. Last machine__create_kernel_maps() calls function map_groups__fixup_end(). This function iterates through the maps and assigns each map entry's end address the successor map entry start address. The last entry of the map group has no successor, so ~0 is used as end to consume the remaining memory. Later __cmd_record calls function record__synthesize() which in turn calls perf_event__synthesize_kernel_mmap() and perf_event__synthesize_modules() to create PERF_REPORT_MMAP entries into the perf.data file. On s390 this results in the last module qeth_l2.ko (which has highest start address, see module table: [root@s8360047 perf]# cat /proc/modules qeth_l2 86016 1 - Live 0x000003ff804d6000 qeth 266240 1 qeth_l2, Live 0x000003ff80296000 ccwgroup 24576 1 qeth, Live 0x000003ff80218000 vmur 36864 0 - Live 0x000003ff80182000 qdio 143360 2 qeth_l2,qeth, Live 0x000003ff80002000 [root@s8360047 perf]# ) to be the last entry and its map has an end address of ~0. When the PERF_RECORD_MMAP entry is created for kernel module qeth_l2.ko its start address and length is written. The length is calculated in line: event->mmap.len = pos->end - pos->start; and results in 0xffffffffffffffff - 0x3ff804d6990(*) = 0xfffffc007fb2966f (*) On s390 the module start address is actually determined by a __weak function named arch__fix_module_text_start() in machine__create_module(). I think this improvable. We can use the module size (2nd column of /proc/modules) to get each loaded kernel module size and calculate its end address. Only for map entries which do not have a valid end address (end is still zero) we can use the heuristic we have now, that is use successor start address or ~0.

2017-07-25perf report: Make --branch-history work without callgraphs(-g) option in ↵Gravatar Jin Yao 1-1/+12
perf record perf record -b -g <command> perf report --branch-history This merges the LBRs with the callgraphs. However it would be nice if it also works without callgraphs (-g) set in perf record, so that only the LBRs are displayed. But currently perf report errors in this case. For example, perf record -b <command> perf report --branch-history Error: Selected -g or --branch-history but no callchain data. Did you call 'perf record' without -g? This patch displays the LBRs only even if callgraphs(-g) is not enabled in perf record. Change log: v2: According to Milian Wolff's comment, change the obsolete error message.

2017-07-18perf maps: Lookup maps in both intitial mountns and inner mountns.Gravatar Krister Johansen 1-2/+2
If a process is in a mountns and has symbols in /tmp/perf-<pid>.map, look first in the namespace using the tgid for the pidns that the process might be in. If the map isn't found there, try looking in the mountns where perf is running, and use the tgid that's appropriate for perf's pid namespace. If all else fails, use the original pid. This allows us to locate a symbol map file in the mount namespace, if it was generated there. However, we also try the tool's /tmp in case it's there instead.

2017-07-12perf symbols: Accept zero as the kernel base addressGravatar Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 1-1/+1
Which is the case in S/390, where symbols were not being resolved because machine__get_kernel_start was only setting machine->kernel_start when the just successfully loaded kernel symtab had its map->start set to !0, when it was left at (1ULL << 63) assuming a partitioning of the address space for user/kernel, which is not the case in S/390 nor in Sparc. So just check if map__load() was successfull and set machine->kernel_start to zero, fixing kernel symbol resolution on S/390. Test performed by Thomas: ---- I like this patch.

That is the case of _text on s390, and we have some functions that return an address, using address zero to report problems, oops. This would lead the symbol loading routines to not use "_text" as the reference relocation symbol, or the first symbol for the kernel, but use instead "_stext", that is at the same address on x86_64 and others, but not on s390: [acme@localhost perf-4.11.0-rc6]$ head -15 /proc/kallsyms 0000000000000000 T _text 0000000000000418 t iplstart 0000000000000800 T start 000000000000080a t .base 000000000000082e t .sk8x8 0000000000000834 t .gotr 0000000000000842 t .cmd 0000000000000846 t .parm 000000000000084a t .lowcase 0000000000010000 T startup 0000000000010010 T startup_kdump 0000000000010214 t startup_kdump_relocated 0000000000011000 T startup_continue 00000000000112a0 T _ehead 0000000000100000 T _stext [acme@localhost perf-4.11.0-rc6]$ Which in turn would make 'perf test vmlinux' to fail because it wouldn't find the symbols before "_stext" in kallsyms.

2016-11-14perf report: Add branch flag to callchain cursor nodeGravatar Jin Yao 1-15/+67
Since the branch ip has been added to call stack for easier browsing, this patch adds more branch information. For example, add a flag to indicate if this ip is a branch, and also add with the branch flag. Then we can know if the cursor node represents a branch and know what the branch flag it has. The branch history code has a loop detection pass that removes loops. It would be nice for knowing how many loops were removed then in next steps, we can compute out the average number of iterations. For example: Before remove_loops(), entry0: from = 0x100, to = 0x200 entry1: from = 0x300, to = 0x250 entry2: from = 0x300, to = 0x250 entry3: from = 0x300, to = 0x250 entry4: from = 0x700, to = 0x800 After remove_loops() entry0: from = 0x100, to = 0x200 entry1: from = 0x300, to = 0x250 entry2: from = 0x700, to = 0x800 The original entry2 and entry3 are removed. So the number of iterations (from = 0x300, to = 0x250) is equal to removed number + 1 (2 + 1). iterations = removed number + 1; average iteractions = Sum(iteractions) / number of samples This formula ignores other cases, for example, iterations cross multiple buffers and one buffer contains 2+ loops. Because in practice, it's good enough.

2016-07-26perf s390: Fix 'start' address of module's mapGravatar Song Shan Gong 1-0/+8
At present, when creating module's map, perf gets 'start' address by parsing '/proc/modules', but it's the module base address, it isn't the start address of the '.text' section. In most arches, it's OK. But for s390, it places 'GOT' and 'PLT' relocations before '.text' section. So there exists an offset between module base address and '.text' section, which will incur wrong symbol resolution for modules. Fix this bug by getting 'start' address of module's map from parsing '/sys/module/[module name]/sections/.text', not from '/proc/modules'.

This means the user can't access /proc/kallsyms, for instance, because /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict is set to 1. Instead leave the ref_reloc_sym as NULL and code using it will cope. This allows 'perf trace' to work on such systems for !root, the only issue would be when trying to resolve kernel symbols, which happens, for instance, in some libtracevent plugins. A warning for that case will be provided in the next patch in this series. Noticed in Ubuntu 16.04, that comes with kptr_restrict=1.

2016-05-06perf callchain: Fix incorrect ordering of entriesGravatar Chris Phlipot 1-15/+41
The existing implementation of thread__resolve_callchain, under certain circumstances, can assemble callchain entries in the incorrect order. The callchain entries are resolved incorrectly for a sample when all of the following conditions are met: 1. callchain_param.order is set to ORDER_CALLER 2. thread__resolve_callchain_sample is able to resolve callchain entries for the sample. 3. unwind__get_entries is also able to resolve callchain entries for the sample. The fix is accomplished by reversing the order in which thread__resolve_callchain_sample and unwind__get_entries are called when callchain_param.order is set to ORDER_CALLER. Unwind specific code from thread__resolve_callchain is also moved into a new static function to improve readability of the fix. How to Reproduce the Existing Bug: Modifying perf script to print call trees in the opposite order or applying the remaining patches from this series and comparing the results output from export-to-postgtresql.py are the easiest ways to see the bug, however it can still be seen in current builds using perf report. Here is how i can reproduce the bug using perf report: # perf record --call-graph=dwarf stress -c 1 -t 5 when i run this command: # perf report --call-graph=flat,0,0,callee This callchain, containing kernel (handle_irq_event, etc) and userspace samples (__libc_start_main, etc) is contained in the output, which looks correct (callee order): gen8_irq_handler handle_irq_event_percpu handle_irq_event handle_edge_irq handle_irq do_IRQ ret_from_intr __random rand 0x558f2a04dded 0x558f2a04c774 __libc_start_main 0x558f2a04dcd9 Now run this command using caller order: # perf report --call-graph=flat,0,0,caller It is expected to see the exact reverse of the above when using caller order (with "0x558f2a04dcd9" at the top and "gen8_irq_handler" at the bottom) in the output, but it is nowhere to be found. instead you see this: ret_from_intr do_IRQ handle_irq handle_edge_irq handle_irq_event handle_irq_event_percpu gen8_irq_handler 0x558f2a04dcd9 __libc_start_main 0x558f2a04c774 0x558f2a04dded rand __random Notice how internally the kernel symbols are reversed and the user space symbols are reversed, but the kernel symbols still appear above the user space symbols. if this patch is applied and perf script is re-run, you will see the expected output (with "0x558f2a04dcd9" at the top and "gen8_irq_handler" at the bottom): 0x558f2a04dcd9 __libc_start_main 0x558f2a04c774 0x558f2a04dded rand __random ret_from_intr do_IRQ handle_irq handle_edge_irq handle_irq_event handle_irq_event_percpu gen8_irq_handler Signed-off-by: Chris Phlipot <cphlipot0@gmail.com> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Acked-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1461831551-12213-2-git-send-email-cphlipot0@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

2016-04-27perf tools: Set the maximum allowed stack from ↵Gravatar Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 1-3/+3
/proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_stack There is an upper limit to what tooling considers a valid callchain, and it was tied to the hardcoded value in the kernel, PERF_MAX_STACK_DEPTH (127), now that this can be tuned via a sysctl, make it read it and use that as the upper limit, falling back to PERF_MAX_STACK_DEPTH for kernels where this sysctl isn't present.

2016-04-19perf symbols: Allow loading kallsyms without considering kcore filesGravatar Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 1-3/+9
Before the support for using /proc/kcore was introduced, the kallsyms routines used /proc/modules and the first 'perf test' entry expected finding maps for each module in the system, which is not the case with the kcore code. Provide a way to ignore kcore files so that the test can have its expectations met. Improving the test to cover kcore files as well needs to be done.

2016-04-14perf callchain: Start moving away from global per thread cursorsGravatar Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 1-11/+15
The recent perf_evsel__fprintf_callchain() move to evsel.c added several new symbol requirements to the python binding, for instance: # perf test -v python 16: Try 'import perf' in python, checking link problems : --- start --- test child forked, pid 18030 Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ImportError: /tmp/build/perf/python/perf.so: undefined symbol: callchain_cursor test child finished with -1 ---- end ---- Try 'import perf' in python, checking link problems: FAILED! # This would require linking against callchain.c to access to the global callchain_cursor variables. Since lots of functions already receive as a parameter a callchain_cursor struct pointer, make that be the case for some more function so that we can start phasing out usage of yet another global variable.

2015-12-14perf thread: Fix reference count initial stateGravatar Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 1-7/+12
We should always return from thread__new(), the constructor, with the object with a reference count of one, so that: struct thread *thread = thread__new(); thread__put(thread); Will call thread__delete(). If any reference is made to that 'thread' variable, it better use thread__get(thread) to hold a reference. We were returning with thread->refcnt set to zero, fix it and some cases where thread__delete() was being called, which were not a problem because just one reference was being used, now that we set it to 1, use thread__put() instead.

2015-12-11perf tools: Clear struct machine during machine__init()Gravatar Wang Nan 1-0/+1
There are so many test cases use stack allocated 'struct machine'. Including: test__hists_link test__hists_filter test__mmap_thread_lookup test__thread_mg_share test__hists_output test__hists_cumulate Also, in non-test code (for example, machine__new_host()) there are code use 'malloc()' to alloc struct machine. These are dangerous operations, cause some tests fail or hung in machines__exit(). For example, in machines__exit -> machine__destroy_kernel_maps -> map_groups__remove -> maps__remove -> pthread_rwlock_wrlock a incorrectly initialized lock causes unintended behavior. This patch memset(0) that structure in machine__init() to ensure all fields in 'struct machine' are initialized to zero.
