* Add software PMC support.fabient2012-03-281-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | New kernel events can be added at various location for sampling or counting. This will for example allow easy system profiling whatever the processor is with known tools like pmcstat(8). Simultaneous usage of software PMC and hardware PMC is possible, for example looking at the lock acquire failure, page fault while sampling on instructions. Sponsored by: NETASQ MFC after: 1 month

* MFP4: Support for profiling dynamically loaded objects.jkoshy2006-03-261-5/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Kernel changes: Inform hwpmc of executable objects brought into the system by kldload() and mmap(), and of their removal by kldunload() and munmap(). A helper function linker_hwpmc_list_objects() has been added to "sys/kern/kern_linker.c" and is used by hwpmc to retrieve the list of currently loaded kernel modules. The unused `MAPPINGCHANGE' event has been deprecated in favour of separate `MAP_IN' and `MAP_OUT' events; this change reduces space wastage in the log. Bump the hwpmc's ABI version to "2.0.00". Teach hwpmc(4) to handle the map change callbacks. Change the default per-cpu sample buffer size to hold 32 samples (up from 16). Increment __FreeBSD_version. libpmc(3) changes: Update libpmc(3) to deal with the new events in the log file; bring the pmclog(3) manual page in sync with the code. pmcstat(8) changes: Introduce new options to pmcstat(8): "-r" (root fs path), "-M" (mapfile name), "-q"/"-v" (verbosity control). Option "-k" now takes a kernel directory as its argument but will also work with the older invocation syntax. Rework string handling in pmcstat(8) to use an opaque type for interned strings. Clean up ELF parsing code and add support for tracking dynamic object mappings reported by a v2.0.00 hwpmc(4). Report statistics at the end of a log conversion run depending on the requested verbosity level. Reviewed by: jhb, dds (kernel parts of an earlier patch) Tested by: gallatin (earlier patch)

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - pmcstat(8) gprof output mode fixes: lib/libpmc/pmclog.{c,h}, sys/sys/pmclog.h: + Add a 'is_usermode' field to the PMCLOG_PCSAMPLE event + Add an 'entryaddr' field to the PMCLOG_PROCEXEC event, so that pmcstat(8) can determine where the runtime loader /libexec/ld-elf.so.1 is getting loaded. sys/kern/kern_exec.c: + Use a local struct to group the entry address of the image being exec()'ed and the process credential changed flag to the exec handling hook inside hwpmc(4). usr.sbin/pmcstat/*: + Support "-k kernelpath", "-D sampledir". + Implement the ELF bits of 'gmon.out' profile generation in a new file "pmcstat_log.c". Move all log related functions to this file. + Move local definitions and prototypes to "pmcstat.h" - Other bug fixes: + lib/libpmc/pmclog.c: correctly handle EOF in pmclog_read(). + sys/dev/hwpmc_mod.c: unconditionally log a PROCEXIT event to all attached PMCs when a process exits. + sys/sys/pmc.h: correct a function prototype. + Improve usage checks in pmcstat(8).

- Implement sampling modes and logging support in hwpmc(4). - Separate MI and MD parts of hwpmc(4) and allow sharing of PMC implementations across different architectures. Add support for P4 (EMT64) style PMCs to the amd64 code. - New pmcstat(8) options: -E (exit time counts) -W (counts every context switch), -R (print log file). - pmc(3) API changes, improve our ability to keep ABI compatibility in the future. Add more 'alias' names for commonly used events. - bug fixes & documentation.
