* perf ui browser: Clean lines inside of the input windowNamhyung Kim2012-03-191-3/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | As Arnaldo pointed out, it should be cleared to prevent the window from displaying overlapped strings on the region.

* perf tools: Do not disable members of group eventNamhyung Kim2012-03-163-5/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When event group is enabled for forked task (i.e. no target task/cpu was specified) all events were disabled and marked ->enable_on_exec. However they wouldn't be counted at all since only group leader will be enabled on exec actually. In contrast to perf stat, perf record doesn't have a real problem as it enables all the event before proceeding. But it needs to be fixed anyway IMHO.

Legacy files are those using the older PERFFILE signature. For those, it is still necessary to detect endianness but without comparing their header->attr_size with the tool's own version as it may be different. Instead, we use a reference table for all known sizes from the legacy era. We try all the combinations for sizes and endianness. If we find a match, we proceed, otherwise we return: "incompatible file format". This is also done for the pipe-mode file format.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch allows perf to process perf.data files generated using an ABI that has a different perf_event_attr struct size, i.e., a different ABI version. The perf_event_attr can be extended, yet perf needs to cope with older perf.data files. Similarly, perf must be able to cope with a perf.data file which is using a newer version of the ABI than what it knows about. This patch adds read_attr(), a routine that reads a perf_event_attr struct from a file incrementally based on its advertised size. If the on-file struct is smaller than what perf knows, then the extra fields are zeroed. If the on-file struct is bigger, then perf only uses what it knows about, the rest is skipped.

| * perf report: Add support for taken branch samplingRoberto Agostino Vitillo2012-03-092-9/+105
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds support for taken branch sampling, i.e, the PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK feature to perf report. In other words, to display histograms based on taken branches rather than executed instructions addresses. The new option is called -b and it takes no argument. To generate meaningful output, the perf.data must have been obtained using perf record -b xxx ... where xxx is a branch filter option. The output shows symbols, modules, sorted by 'who branches where' the most often. The percentages reported in the first column refer to the total number of branches captured and not the usual number of samples. Here is a quick example. Here branchy is simple test program which looks as follows: void f2(void) {} void f3(void) {} void f1(unsigned long n) { if (n & 1UL) f2(); else f3(); } int main(void) { unsigned long i; for (i=0; i < N; i++) f1(i); return 0; } Here is the output captured on Nehalem, if we are only interested in user level function calls. $ perf record -b any_call,u -e cycles:u branchy $ perf report -b --sort=symbol 52.34% [.] main [.] f1 24.04% [.] f1 [.] f3 23.60% [.] f1 [.] f2 0.01% [k] _IO_new_file_xsputn [k] _IO_file_overflow 0.01% [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal [k] _IO_new_file_xsputn 0.01% [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal [k] strchrnul 0.01% [k] __printf [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal 0.01% [k] main [k] __printf About half (52%) of the call branches captured are from main() -> f1(). The second half (24%+23%) is split in two equal shares between f1() -> f2(), f1() ->f3(). The output is as expected given the code. It should be noted, that using -b in perf record does not eliminate information in the perf.data file. Consequently, a typical profile can also be obtained by perf report by simply not using its -b option.

| * perf: Add callback to flush branch_stack on context switchStephane Eranian2012-03-055-8/+121
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With branch stack sampling, it is possible to filter by priv levels. In system-wide mode, that means it is possible to capture only user level branches. The builtin SW LBR filter needs to disassemble code based on LBR captured addresses. For that, it needs to know the task the addresses are associated with. Because of context switches, the content of the branch stack buffer may contain addresses from different tasks. We need a callback on context switch to either flush the branch stack or save it. This patch adds a new callback in struct pmu which is called during context switches. The callback is called only when necessary. That is when a system-wide context has, at least, one event which uses PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK. The callback is never called for per-thread context. In this version, the Intel x86 code simply flushes (resets) the LBR on context switches (fills it with zeroes). Those zeroed branches are then filtered out by the SW filter.

| * perf/x86: Add LBR software filter support for Intel CPUsStephane Eranian2012-03-053-33/+321
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds an internal sofware filter to complement the (optional) LBR hardware filter. The software filter is necessary: - as a substitute when there is no HW LBR filter (e.g., Atom, Core) - to complement HW LBR filter in case of errata (e.g., Nehalem/Westmere) - to provide finer grain filtering (e.g., all processors) Sometimes the LBR HW filter cannot distinguish between two types of branches. For instance, to capture syscall as CALLS, it is necessary to enable the LBR_FAR filter which will also capture JMP instructions. Thus, a second pass is necessary to filter those out, this is what the SW filter can do. The SW filter is built on top of the internal x86 disassembler. It is a best effort filter especially for user level code. It is subject to the availability of the text page of the program. The SW filter is enabled on all Intel processors. It is bypassed when the user is capturing all branches at all priv levels.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If precise sampling is enabled on Intel x86 then perf_event uses PEBS. To correct for the off-by-one error of PEBS, perf_event uses LBR when precise_sample > 1. On Intel x86 PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK is implemented using LBR, therefore both features must be coordinated as they may not configure LBR the same way. For PEBS, LBR needs to capture all branches at the priv level of the associated event. This patch checks that the branch type and priv level of BRANCH_STACK is compatible with that of the PEBS LBR requirement, thereby allowing: $ perf record -b any,u -e instructions:upp .... But: $ perf record -b any_call,u -e instructions:upp Is not possible.

| * perf/x86: Add Intel LBR sharing logicStephane Eranian2012-03-053-26/+52
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Intel LBR on some recent processor is capable of filtering branches by type. The filter is configurable via the LBR_SELECT MSR register. There are limitation on how this register can be used. On Nehalem/Westmere, the LBR_SELECT is shared by the two HT threads when HT is on. It is private to each core when HT is off. On SandyBridge, the LBR_SELECT register is private to each thread when HT is on. It is private to each core when HT is off. The kernel must manage the sharing of LBR_SELECT. It allows multiple users on the same logical CPU to use LBR_SELECT as long as they program it with the same value. Across sibling CPUs (HT threads), the same restriction applies on NHM/WSM. This patch implements this sharing logic by leveraging the mechanism put in place for managing the offcore_response shared MSR. We modify __intel_shared_reg_get_constraints() to cause x86_get_event_constraint() to be called because LBR may be associated with events that may be counter constrained.

| * perf: Add generic taken branch sampling supportStephane Eranian2012-03-053-12/+148

The ability to capture taken branches is very useful for all sorts of analysis. For instance, basic block profiling, call counts, statistical call graph. This new capability requires hardware assist and as such may not be available on all HW platforms. On Intel x86 it is implemented on top of the Last Branch Record (LBR) facility. To enable taken branches sampling, the PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK bit must be set in attr->sample_type. Sampled taken branches may be filtered by type and/or priv levels. The patch adds a new field, called branch_sample_type, to the perf_event_attr structure. It contains a bitmask of filters to apply to the sampled taken branches. Filters may be implemented in HW. If the HW filter does not exist or is not good enough, some arch may also implement a SW filter. The following generic filters are currently defined: - PERF_SAMPLE_USER only branches whose targets are at the user level - PERF_SAMPLE_KERNEL only branches whose targets are at the kernel level - PERF_SAMPLE_HV only branches whose targets are at the hypervisor level - PERF_SAMPLE_ANY any type of branches (subject to priv levels filters) - PERF_SAMPLE_ANY_CALL any call branches (may incl. syscall on some arch) - PERF_SAMPLE_ANY_RET any return branches (may incl. syscall returns on some arch) - PERF_SAMPLE_IND_CALL indirect call branches Obviously filter may be combined. The priv level bits are optional. If not provided, the priv level of the associated event are used. It is possible to collect branches at a priv level different from the associated event. Use of kernel, hv priv levels is subject to permissions and availability (hv). The number of taken branch records present in each sample may vary based on HW, the type of sampled branches, the executed code. Therefore each sample contains the number of taken branches it contains.

As the result, we can end up with async call of put_ioctx() being the last one and possibly happening during exit_mmap() or elf_core_dump(), neither of which expects stray munmap() being done to them... We do need to prevent _freeing_ ioctx until aio_fput_routine() is done with that, but that's all we care about - neither io_destroy() nor exit_aio() will progress past wait_for_all_aios() until aio_fput_routine() does really_put_req(), so the ioctx teardown won't be done until then and we don't care about the contents of ioctx past that point. Since actual freeing of these suckers is RCU-delayed, we don't need to bump ioctx refcount when request goes into list for async removal. All we need is rcu_read_lock held just over the ->ctx_lock-protected area in aio_fput_routine().

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The reada code from scrub was casting down a u64 to an unsigned long so it could insert it into a radix tree. What it really wanted to do was cast down the result of a shift, instead of casting down the u64. The bug resulted in trying to insert our reada struct into the wrong place, which caused soft lockups and other problems. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>

Horiguchi-san's commit is correct in itself, 1 makes much more sense than 2 in that check; but it does not go far enough - swapcount should be considered too - if we really want such a check at all. We appear to have reached agreement now, and expect that 3.4 will remove the mapcount check, but had better not make 3.3 different.

| * | | x86: Derandom delay_tsc for 64 bitThomas Gleixner2012-03-091-2/+2

The reason is that it merged the mostly identical versions of delay_32.c and delay_64.c. Though the subtle difference of the result was: static void delay_tsc(unsigned long loops) { - unsigned bclock, now; + unsigned long bclock, now; Now the function uses rdtscl() which returns the lower 32bit of the TSC. On 32bit that's not problematic as unsigned long is 32bit. On 64 bit this fails when the lower 32bit are close to wrap around when bclock is read, because the following check if ((now - bclock) >= loops) break; evaluated to true on 64bit for e.g. bclock = 0xffffffff and now = 0 because the unsigned long (now - bclock) of these values results in 0xffffffff00000001 which is definitely larger than the loops value. That explains Tvortkos observation: "Because I am seeing udelay(500) (_occasionally_) being short, and that by delaying for some duration between 0us (yep) and 491us." Make those variables explicitely u32 again, so this works for both 32 and 64 bit.
