* perf tools: Reconstruct event with modifiers from perf_event_attrArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2012-05-251-16/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The modifiers: k kernel space u user space h hypervisor G guest H host p, pp, ppp precision level (PEBS) that can be suffixed to an event were lost when tools used event_name() to reconstruct them from the perf_event_attr entries in a perf.data file. Fix it by following the defaults used for these modifiers in the current codebase, so: $ perf record -e instructions:u usleep 1 2> /dev/null $ perf evlist instructions:u $ perf record -e cycles:k usleep 1 2> /dev/null $ perf evlist cycles:k $ perf record -e cycles:kh usleep 1 2> /dev/null $ perf evlist cycles:kh $ perf record -e cache-misses:G usleep 1 2> /dev/null $ perf evlist cache-misses:G $ perf record -e cycles:ppk usleep 1 2> /dev/null $ perf evlist cycles:kpp $ Also works with 'top', 'report', etc. More work needed to cover tracepoints and software events while not dragging lots of baggage to the python binding, this is a minimal fix for v3.5.

* perf tools: Add hardcoded name term for pmu eventsJiri Olsa2012-05-221-1/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Adding a new hardcoded term 'name' allowing to specify a name for the pmu event. The term is defined along with standard pmu terms. If no 'name' term is given, the event name follows following template: "raw 0x<perf_event_attr::config>" running: perf stat -e cpu/config=1,name=krava1/u ls will produce following output: ... Performance counter stats for 'ls': 0 krava1 ... running: perf stat -e cpu/config=1/u ls will produce following output: ... Performance counter stats for 'ls': 0 raw 0x1 ...

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Separating 'mem:' scanner processing, so we can parse out modifier specifically and dont clash with other rules. This is just precaution for the future, so we dont need to worry about the rules clashing where we need to parse out any sub-rule of global rules.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introducing type_val and type_term for term instead of a single type value. Currently the term type marked out the value type as well.

* perf tools: Fix modifier to be applied on correct eventsJiri Olsa2012-03-221-6/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The event modifier needs to be applied only on the event definition it is attached to. The current state is that in case of multiple events definition (in single '-e' option, separated by ',') all will get modifier of the last one. Fixing this by adding separated list for each event definition, so the modifier is applied only to proper event(s). Added automated test to catch this, plus some other modifier tests.

| * perf record: Fix buffer overrun bug in tracepoint_id_to_path()Stephane Eranian2012-03-131-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes a buffer overrun bug in tracepoint_id_to_path(). The bug manisfested itself as a memory error reported by perf record. I ran into it with perf sched: $ perf sched rec noploop 2 noploop for 2 seconds [ perf record: Woken up 14 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 42.701 MB perf.data (~1865622 samples) ] Fatal: No memory to alloc tracepoints list It turned out that tracepoint_id_to_path() was reading the tracepoint id using read() but the buffer was not large enough to include the \n terminator for id with 4 digits or more. The patch fixes the problem by extending the buffer to a more reasonable size covering all possible id length include \n terminator. Note that atoll() stops at the first non digit character, thus it is not necessary to clear the buffer between each read.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We don't need to have two PATH_MAX char sized arrays holding it, just one in util/debugfs.c will do. Also rename debugfs_path to tracing_events_path, as it is not the path to debugfs, that is debugfs_mountpoint. Both are now accessible. This will allow accessing this code in the perf python binding without having to drag in perf.c and util/parse-events.c. The defaults for these variables are the canonical "/sys/kernel/debug" and "/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/", removing the need for simple tools to call debugfs_mount(NULL).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The new default output looks like this: Performance counter stats for './loop_1b_instructions': 236.010686 task-clock # 0.996 CPUs utilized 0 context-switches # 0.000 M/sec 0 CPU-migrations # 0.000 M/sec 99 page-faults # 0.000 M/sec 756,487,646 cycles # 3.205 GHz 354,938,996 stalled-cycles # 46.92% of all cycles are idle 1,001,403,797 instructions # 1.32 insns per cycle # 0.35 stalled cycles per insn 100,279,773 branches # 424.895 M/sec 12,646 branch-misses # 0.013 % of all branches 0.236902540 seconds time elapsed We dropped cache-refs and cache-misses and added stalled-cycles - this is a more generic "how well utilized is the CPU" metric. If the stalled-cycles ratio is too high then more specific measurements can be taken to figure out the source of the inefficiency.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently we fail without printing any error message on "perf stat -e task-clock-msecs". The reason is that the task-clock event is matched and the "-msecs" postfix is assumed to be an event modifier - but is not recognized. This patch changes the code to be more informative: $ perf stat -e task-clock-msecs true invalid event modifier: '-msecs' Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events and modifiers And restructures the return value of parse_event_modifier() to allow the printing of all variants of invalid event modifiers.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch changes the way perf stat prints event names at the end of a run. Until now, it was trying to reconstruct the event name from its encoding. The problem is that it would only print generic events without their modifiers (u, k, pp). This patch saves the event name as passed by the user in the evsel struct and uses it to print the final event name. This would also work in case perf is linked with a library (such as libpfm4) which provides full PMU event tables. $ perf stat -e cycles:u,cycles:k date Wed Feb 16 14:58:52 CET 2011 Performance counter stats for 'date': 568600 cycles:u 2779715 cycles:k 0.001908182 seconds time elapsed Cc: Arun Sharma <arun@sharma-home.net> Cc: David S.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I found when specifying all tracepoints with -e to one of subcommand, such as 'stat', the program will trigger a buffer overflow error, like this: *** buffer overflow detected ***: ./perf terminated ======= Backtrace: ========= /lib64/libc.so.6(__fortify_fail+0x37)[0x382cefb2c7] ....

* | perf, x86: Improve the PEBS ABIPeter Zijlstra2010-05-071-9/+16
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Rename perf_event_attr::precise to perf_event_attr::precise_ip and widen it to 2 bits. This new field describes the required precision of the PERF_SAMPLE_IP field: 0 - SAMPLE_IP can have arbitrary skid 1 - SAMPLE_IP must have constant skid 2 - SAMPLE_IP requested to have 0 skid 3 - SAMPLE_IP must have 0 skid And modify the Intel PEBS code accordingly. The PEBS implementation now supports up to precise_ip == 2, where we perform the IP fixup. Also s/PERF_RECORD_MISC_EXACT/&_IP/ to clarify its meaning, this bit should be set for each PERF_SAMPLE_IP field known to match the actual instruction triggering the event. This new scheme allows for a PEBS mode that uses the buffer for more than a single event.

* perf: Fix initialization bug in parse_single_tracepoint_event()Stephane Eranian2010-04-241-6/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The parse_single_tracepoint_event() was setting some attributes before it validated the event was indeed a tracepoint event. This caused problems with other initialization routines like in the builtin-top.c module whereby sample_period is not set if not 0.
