* perf ui browser: Make the colors configurable and change the defaultsArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2011-10-181-0/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Just use as a starting point the "[colors]" section of tools/perf/Documentation/perfconfig.example. Changed the colors to be the ones in the old perf tool if used in a green on black xterm. The next patches should allow using the colors configured for the xterm.

* perf tools: Make perf.data more self-descriptive (v8)Stephane Eranian2011-10-072-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The goal of this patch is to include more information about the host environment into the perf.data so it is more self-descriptive. Overtime, profiles are captured on various machines and it becomes hard to track what was recorded, on what machine and when. This patch provides a way to solve this by extending the perf.data file with basic information about the host machine. To add those extensions, we leverage the feature bits capabilities of the perf.data format. The change is backward compatible with existing perf.data files. We define the following useful new extensions: - HEADER_HOSTNAME: the hostname - HEADER_OSRELEASE: the kernel release number - HEADER_ARCH: the hw architecture - HEADER_CPUDESC: generic CPU description - HEADER_NRCPUS: number of online/avail cpus - HEADER_CMDLINE: perf command line - HEADER_VERSION: perf version - HEADER_TOPOLOGY: cpu topology - HEADER_EVENT_DESC: full event description (attrs) - HEADER_CPUID: easy-to-parse low level CPU identication The small granularity for the entries is to make it easier to extend without breaking backward compatiblity. Many entries are provided as ASCII strings. Perf report/script have been modified to print the basic information as easy-to-parse ASCII strings. Extended information about CPU and NUMA topology may be requested with the -I option. Thanks to David Ahern for reviewing and testing the many versions of this patch. $ perf report --stdio # ======== # captured on : Mon Sep 26 15:22:14 2011 # hostname : quad # os release : 3.1.0-rc4-tip # perf version : 3.1.0-rc4 # arch : x86_64 # nrcpus online : 4 # nrcpus avail : 4 # cpudesc : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz # cpuid : GenuineIntel,6,15,11 # total memory : 8105360 kB # cmdline : /home/eranian/perfmon/official/tip/build/tools/perf/perf record date # event : name = cycles, type = 0, config = 0x0, config1 = 0x0, config2 = 0x0, excl_usr = 0, excl_kern = 0, id = { 29, 30, 31, # HEADER_CPU_TOPOLOGY info available, use -I to display # HEADER_NUMA_TOPOLOGY info available, use -I to display # ======== # ... $ perf report --stdio -I # ======== # captured on : Mon Sep 26 15:22:14 2011 # hostname : quad # os release : 3.1.0-rc4-tip # perf version : 3.1.0-rc4 # arch : x86_64 # nrcpus online : 4 # nrcpus avail : 4 # cpudesc : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz # cpuid : GenuineIntel,6,15,11 # total memory : 8105360 kB # cmdline : /home/eranian/perfmon/official/tip/build/tools/perf/perf record date # event : name = cycles, type = 0, config = 0x0, config1 = 0x0, config2 = 0x0, excl_usr = 0, excl_kern = 0, id = { 29, 30, 31, # sibling cores : 0-3 # sibling threads : 0 # sibling threads : 1 # sibling threads : 2 # sibling threads : 3 # node0 meminfo : total = 8320608 kB, free = 7571024 kB # node0 cpu list : 0-3 # ======== # ...

* perf top: Reuse the 'report' hist_entry/hists classesArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2011-10-071-3/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This actually fixes several problems we had in the old 'perf top': 1. Unresolved symbols not show, limitation that came from the old "KernelTop" codebase, to solve it we would need to do changes that would make sym_entry have most of the hist_entry fields. 2. It was using the number of samples, not the sum of sample->period. And brings the --sort code that allows us to have all the views in 'perf report', for instance: [root@emilia ~]# perf top --sort dso PerfTop: 5903 irqs/sec kernel:77.5% exact: 0.0% [1000Hz cycles], (all, 8 CPUs) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 31.59% libcrypto.so.1.0.0 21.55% [kernel] 18.57% libpython2.6.so.1.0 7.04% libc-2.12.so 6.99% _backend_agg.so 4.72% sshd 1.48% multiarray.so 1.39% libfreetype.so.6.3.22 1.37% perf 0.71% libgobject-2.0.so.0.2200.5 0.53% [tg3] 0.48% libglib-2.0.so.0.2200.5 0.44% libstdc++.so.6.0.13 0.40% libcairo.so.2.10800.8 0.38% libm-2.12.so 0.34% umath.so 0.30% libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0.1800.9 0.22% libpthread-2.12.so 0.20% libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.1800.9 0.20% librt-2.12.so 0.15% _path.so 0.13% libpango-1.0.so.0.2800.1 0.11% libatlas.so.3.0 0.09% ft2font.so 0.09% libpangoft2-1.0.so.0.2800.1 0.08% libX11.so.6.3.0 0.07% [vdso] 0.06% cyclictest ^C All the filter lists can be used as well: --dsos, --comms, --symbols, etc. The 'perf report' TUI is also reused, being possible to apply all the zoom operations, do annotation, etc. This change will allow multiple simplifications in the symbol system as well, that will be detailed in upcoming changesets.

* perf stat: Add -o and --append optionsStephane Eranian2011-08-181-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds an option (-o) to save the output of perf stat into a file. You could do this with perf record but not with perf stat. Instead, you had to fiddle with stderr to save the counts into a separate file. The patch also adds the --append option so that results can be concatenated into a single file across runs. Each run of the tool is clearly separated by a comment line starting with a hash mark. The -A option of perf record is already used by perf stat, so we only add a long option. $ perf stat -o res.txt date $ cat res.txt Performance counter stats for 'date': 0.791306 task-clock # 0.668 CPUs utilized 2 context-switches # 0.003 M/sec 0 CPU-migrations # 0.000 M/sec 197 page-faults # 0.249 M/sec 1878143 cycles # 2.373 GHz <not supported> stalled-cycles-frontend <not supported> stalled-cycles-backend 1083367 instructions # 0.58 insns per cycle 193027 branches # 243.935 M/sec 9014 branch-misses # 4.67% of all branches 0.001184746 seconds time elapsed The option can be combined with -x to make the output file much easier to parse.

* perf annotate: Make output more readableStephane Eranian2011-08-181-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds two new options to perf annotate: - --no-asm-raw : Do not display raw instruction encodings - --no-source : Do not interleave source code with assembly code We believe those options make the output of annotate more readable. Systematically displaying source can make it hard to follow code and especially optimized code. Raw encodings are not useful in most cases.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Support adding probes on offline kernel modules. This enables perf-probe to trace kernel-module init functions via perf-probe. If user gives the path of module with -m option, perf-probe expects the module is offline. This feature works with --add, --funcs, and --vars. E.g) # perf probe -m /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/fs/btrfs/btrfs.ko \ -a "extent_io_init:5 extent_state_cache" Add new events: probe:extent_io_init (on extent_io_init:5 with extent_state_cache) probe:extent_io_init_1 (on extent_io_init:5 with extent_state_cache) You can now use it on all perf tools, such as: perf record -e probe:extent_io_init_1 -aR sleep 1 Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@hitachi.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@ghostprotocols.net> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20110627072751.6528.10230.stgit@fedora15 Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
* perf report/annotate/script: Add option to specify a CPU rangeAnton Blanchard2011-07-053-0/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add an option to perf report/annotate/script to specify which CPUs to operate on. This enables us to take a single system wide profile and analyse each CPU (or group of CPUs) in isolation. This was useful when profiling a multiprocess workload where the bottleneck was on one CPU but this was hidden in the overall profile. Per process and per thread breakdowns didn't help because multiple processes were running on each CPU and no single process consumed an entire CPU. The patch converts the list of CPUs returned by cpu_map__new into a bitmap for fast lookup. I wanted to use -C to be consistent with perf top/record/stat, but unfortunately perf report already uses -C <comms>. v2: Incorporate suggestions from David Ahern: - Added -c to perf script - Check that SAMPLE_CPU is set when -c is used - Update documentation v3: Create perf_session__cpu_bitmap() Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Acked-by: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@ghostprotocols.net> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20110704215750.11647eb9@kryten Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

* perf tool: Add cgroup supportStephane Eranian2011-02-162-0/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds the ability to filter monitoring based on container groups (cgroups) for both perf stat and perf record. It is possible to monitor multiple cgroup in parallel. There is one cgroup per event. The cgroups to monitor are passed via a new -G option followed by a comma separated list of cgroup names. The cgroup filesystem has to be mounted. Given a cgroup name, the perf tool finds the corresponding directory in the cgroup filesystem and opens it. It then passes that file descriptor to the kernel. Example: $ perf stat -B -a -e cycles:u,cycles:u,cycles:u -G test1,,test2 -- sleep 1 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1': 2,368,667,414 cycles test1 2,369,661,459 cycles <not counted> cycles test2 1.001856890 seconds time elapsed Signed-off-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> LKML-Reference: <4d590290.825bdf0a.7d0a.4890@mx.google.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds an option (-x/--field-separator) to print counts using a CSV-style output. The user can pass a custom separator. This makes it very easy to import counts directly into your favorite spreadsheet without having to write scripts. Example: $ perf stat --field-separator=, -a -- sleep 1 4009.961740,task-clock-msecs 13,context-switches 2,CPU-migrations 189,page-faults 9596385684,cycles 3493659441,instructions 872897069,branches 41562,branch-misses 22424,cache-references 1289,cache-misses Works also in non-aggregated mode: $ perf stat -x , -a -A -- sleep 1 CPU0,1002.526168,task-clock-msecs CPU1,1002.528365,task-clock-msecs CPU2,1002.523360,task-clock-msecs CPU3,1002.519878,task-clock-msecs CPU0,1,context-switches CPU1,5,context-switches CPU2,5,context-switches CPU3,6,context-switches CPU0,0,CPU-migrations CPU1,1,CPU-migrations CPU2,0,CPU-migrations CPU3,1,CPU-migrations CPU0,2,page-faults CPU1,6,page-faults CPU2,9,page-faults CPU3,174,page-faults CPU0,2399439771,cycles CPU1,2380369063,cycles CPU2,2399142710,cycles CPU3,2373161192,cycles CPU0,872900618,instructions CPU1,873030960,instructions CPU2,872714525,instructions CPU3,874460580,instructions CPU0,221556839,branches CPU1,218134342,branches CPU2,218161730,branches CPU3,218284093,branches CPU0,18556,branch-misses CPU1,1449,branch-misses CPU2,3447,branch-misses CPU3,12714,branch-misses CPU0,8330,cache-references CPU1,313844,cache-references CPU2,47993728,cache-references CPU3,826481,cache-references CPU0,272,cache-misses CPU1,5360,cache-misses CPU2,1342193,cache-misses CPU3,13992,cache-misses This second version adds the ability to name a separator and uses field-separator as the long option to be consistent with perf report. Commiter note: Since we enabled --big-num by default in 201e0b0 and -x can't be used with it, we need to notice if the user explicitely enabled or disabled -B, add code to disable big_num if the user didn't explicitely set --big_num when -x is used.
