* perf tools: Add --buildid-dir option to set cache directoryJiri Olsa2014-12-091-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Adding --buildid-dir to be able to set specific cache directory. It's going to be handy for buildid tests coming in shortly.

* perf report: Add --branch-history optionAndi Kleen2014-12-011-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a --branch-history option to perf report that changes all the settings necessary for using the branches in callstacks. This is just a short cut to make this nicer to use, it does not enable any functionality by itself. v2: Change sort order. Rename option to --branch-history to be less confusing. v3: Updates v4: Fix conflict with newer perf base v5: Port to latest tip v6: Add more comments. Remove CCKEY_ADDRESS setting. Remove unnecessary branch_mode setting. Use a boolean.

* perf callchain: Support handling complete branch stacks as histogramsAndi Kleen2014-12-011-1/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently branch stacks can be only shown as edge histograms for individual branches. I never found this display particularly useful. This implements an alternative mode that creates histograms over complete branch traces, instead of individual branches, similar to how normal callgraphs are handled. This is done by putting it in front of the normal callgraph and then using the normal callgraph histogram infrastructure to unify them. This way in complex functions we can understand the control flow that lead to a particular sample, and may even see some control flow in the caller for short functions. Example (simplified, of course for such simple code this is usually not needed), please run this after the whole patchkit is in, as at this point in the patch order there is no --branch-history, that will be added in a patch after this one: tcall.c: volatile a = 10000, b = 100000, c; __attribute__((noinline)) f2() { c = a / b; } __attribute__((noinline)) f1() { f2(); f2(); } main() { int i; for (i = 0; i < 1000000; i++) f1(); } % perf record -b -g ./tsrc/tcall [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.044 MB perf.data (~1923 samples) ] % perf report --no-children --branch-history ... 54.91% tcall.c:6 [.] f2 tcall | |--65.53%-- f2 tcall.c:5 | | | |--70.83%-- f1 tcall.c:11 | | f1 tcall.c:10 | | main tcall.c:18 | | main tcall.c:18 | | main tcall.c:17 | | main tcall.c:17 | | f1 tcall.c:13 | | f1 tcall.c:13 | | f2 tcall.c:7 | | f2 tcall.c:5 | | f1 tcall.c:12 | | f1 tcall.c:12 | | f2 tcall.c:7 | | f2 tcall.c:5 | | f1 tcall.c:11 | | | --29.17%-- f1 tcall.c:12 | f1 tcall.c:12 | f2 tcall.c:7 | f2 tcall.c:5 | f1 tcall.c:11 | f1 tcall.c:10 | main tcall.c:18 | main tcall.c:18 | main tcall.c:17 | main tcall.c:17 | f1 tcall.c:13 | f1 tcall.c:13 | f2 tcall.c:7 | f2 tcall.c:5 | f1 tcall.c:12 The default output is unchanged. This is only implemented in perf report, no change to record or anywhere else. This adds the basic code to report: - add a new "branch" option to the -g option parser to enable this mode - when the flag is set include the LBR into the callstack in machine.c. The rest of the history code is unchanged and doesn't know the difference between LBR entry and normal call entry. - detect overlaps with the callchain - remove small loop duplicates in the LBR Current limitations: - The LBR flags (mispredict etc.) are not shown in the history and LBR entries have no special marker. - It would be nice if annotate marked the LBR entries somehow (e.g. with arrows) v2: Various fixes. v3: Merge further patches into this one. Fix white space. v4: Improve manpage. Address review feedback. v5: Rename functions. Better error message without -g. Fix crash without -b. v6: Rebase v7: Rebase. Use NO_ENTRY in memset. v8: Port to latest tip. Move add_callchain_ip to separate patch. Skip initial entries in callchain. Minor cleanups.

A bunch of those details relate to the data address. One interesting thing you can do with data addresses is to convert them into a unique cacheline they belong too. Organizing these data cachelines into similar groups and sorting them can reveal cache contention. This patch creates an alogorithm based on various sample details that can help group entries together into data cachelines and allows 'perf report' to sort on it. The algorithm relies on having proper mmap2 support in the kernel to help determine if the memory map the data address belongs to is private to a pid or globally shared. The alogortithm is as follows: o group cpumodes together o group entries with discovered maps together o sort on major, minor, inode and inode generation numbers o if userspace anon, then sort on pid o sort on cachelines based on data addresses The 'dcacheline' sort option in 'perf report' only works in 'mem-mode'. Sample output: # # Samples: 206 of event 'cpu/mem-loads/pp' # Total weight : 2534 # Sort order : dcacheline,pid # # Overhead Samples Data Cacheline Command: Pid # ........ ............ ...................................................................... .................. # 13.22% 1 [k] 0xffff88042f08ebc0 swapper: 0 9.27% 1 [k] 0xffff88082e8cea80 swapper: 0 3.59% 2 [k] 0xffffffff819ba180 swapper: 0 0.32% 1 [k] arch_trigger_all_cpu_backtrace_handler_na.23901+0xffffffffffffffe0 swapper: 0 0.32% 1 [k] timekeeper_seq+0xfffffffffffffff8 swapper: 0 Note: Added a '+1' to symlen size in hists__calc_col_len to prevent the next column from prematurely tabbing over and mis-aligning.

* perf kvm: Add more detail about buildid-list in man pageDongsheng Yang2013-12-041-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As the buildid is read from /sys/kernel/notes, then if we use perf kvm buildid-list with a perf data file captured by perf kvm record with --guestkallsyms and --guestmodules, there is no result in output. This patch add a explanation about it and add a limit of using perf kvm buildid-list.

* perf timechart: Add backtrace supportStanislav Fomichev2013-11-271-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add -g flag to `perf timechart record` which saves callchain info in the perf.data. When generating SVG, add backtrace information to the figure details, so now it's possible to see which code path woke up the task and why some task went to sleep.
